Buy 1 each month sounds great, but who can afford to buy each month a book like ASM 2? Buy what you like is better. I buy only from artists I like, Kirby, Jim and Jae Lee, Frank Miller, Gene Colan, David Mack and so on. So some of these books never will be very expensive, no problem, I will buy them cause I like them. My daughters will eventually find out if it has been a good investment :)
I agree. If you buy stuff you don’t want just because you’re afraid they might go up in value later, you’re gonna end up with a huge collection filled with stuff you don’t care about. I fell into that trap but thankfully it was early on and I was able to learn from it.
Just a sick collection. Thank you. This is the content we like seeing just going thru boxes and enjoying great stuff. The collectors/sellers you guys showcase are always interesting and you can truly tell they love comics as much as you guys.
Good advice at the end. I speculated when I first got back into collecting as an adult... bought and sold a bunch for a loss... live and learn, but if you can learn from another's mistakes... that's the best way to do it
Wow! Totally stunned out collection! What dreams are made of! Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️
Man, your beautiful collection took me back to when I was a child. I had a lot of those, but gave them to my cousin. Daredevil no 1 was my first Marvel I purchased with my own cash.😀
"I've sold my collection twice and this is my third collection. Just buy 1 or 2 books a month and focus on the big stuff." Judging by that garage you're starting from a different position than most of us lol. But what a great collection, good for him. One day hopefully you'll show us the ungraded collection. Bet there's tons of great books. (And yes I'm jealous lol)
Definitely an awesome/incredible collection. The two books he has that I don't have (I have full runs of ASM and Daredevil + working on X-Men) and would love to are the Tales 39 and Incredible Hulk #1. More than five years ago I passed on a Tales 39 at C2E2. It was a 5.0. The dealer added gave me an initial price cash and then raised it after talking to his partner. I didn't pull the trigger. I wish I would have. That book is 3X higher now than the price I was given. Like your friend said you have to think big. Buying a bunch of books doesn't add the value to your collection like the big boys do. More importantly the big books keeping going up and at a faster pace than the others books in a series if your a completionist like me.
Very impressive collection! But very much disagree with his take on Sub-Mariner in the Black Panther movie. I thought they definitely did the character justice and he was badass! And to answer his question on the FF60, there’s 39 other 9.6’s and 18 9.8’s, so not super rare in high grade. Also there’s 34 9.8’s of ASM 164, so certainly wouldn’t call that “non existent” like he said.
This makes me sick... I've been collecting on and off for 35 years. It's been years, but when I see the books that I don't have and know that they are only going up, I get queasy with fomo.
Love your collection man! I’ll never be where you’re at but it would be nice to even have 1 of those secondary doubles. Very envious of your collection. Must be nice to have the $ to even attempt this. Your family is in for a treat when you pass these on. Keep me in mind when that day comes. Jk awesome collection!
Cgc used to recommend after every seven to 10 years to recase the book because the micro chamber paper was supposedly used up but then they realized that the microchamber paper last a lot longer so if you store your cgc cases in a cool climate-controlled room not in the garage or attic or basement there's really no need to change them even after twenty years I did the whole I have cases from 2001-2002 and I cracked two of them open they weren't worth that much and they were still in the exact same condition paper quality still bright white pages and funny enough I resubmitted both of them 1 was 94 and one was a 96 came back a 96 and a 9.8 WhitePages I did the resubmit back in 2022
Slabbing......what is the point if you're not a full-time dealer or seller? Slab your entire collection, just to stare at the front and back covers? Wtf?! At least the guy in this video actually sells and trades at Cons and shows but everybody who slabs........why?
Conan The Barbarian #10 was one of the first three comics I ever read, then it took me 20 years to finally get #1 but mine is nowhere near a 9.6. Trading up is definitely a sensible and potentially lower-cost way of upgrading one's collection - a strategy that makes a lot of sense and goes perfectly with buying what you enjoy.
Great collection. I have a bunch from the 1980's that I have been planning to take the LCS to sell. (The 'Nam complete series, a lot of Marvel Two-In-One and Marvel Team-Up, plus the 1st Punisher mini-series, I even have an old Superman comic that I got Clint Eastwood to sign when he was filming Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (It was the only thing I had handy to get his signature on - He commented that he had never signed a any comic before then, and he was humble it was a Superman comic) plus a few eclectic #1 and #2 editions of books I never really continued getting) When I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's, I was a huge comic fan, and spent all the money I could get on them. Being a big fan, I just bought them to read and enjoy. I never imagined they would be worth big bucks down the road. Most of mine wound up in boxes and degraded over the years. I did not start bagging and boarding them until the 1980's. (Same with my baseball cards - most wound up in my bike spokes as terrific noise makers.) Fun then, but if I could get in the way-back machine, I would have a nice little retirement fund.
Nice Videos..What is the Price Ranges of the Comics Please?Where you got the Comics?The Comics plastic covers is your idea?If You bought the Comic Plastic Covers Where You Bought it and How much please?What is the Numbers Presents What For In Plastic covers please?
Yo!! That’s what’s up….. the best of the best collection so far in one place. And all graded and the deadpool first appearance he has both? Thats crazy anyways tnx for sharing pedro.
He has some monster books. I can't even get AMS#129,TMNT#1, X-Men#1,Hulk#181 and Cerebus#1 cause they cost thousands but hopefully by the end of this year,I will get at least one of my grail books.
why does he think james gunns dc is goig to make dc comics blow up? suicide squad didnt gain any value after both movies. Ive had the first issue graded 9.2 since before the first suicide squad movie came out and its value barely went up and the value didnt change at all after the second movie
I’ve gotta stop watching these. I’m 60 years old now, and to be able to finish school I sold my entire collection. Mind you, it was 1990, but I had 600 books, all in MELLINEX bags with acid free backing boards, in acid free storage boxes. Back when the grading scale was the old M, NM, VF, F…I had X-Men 1-20; GS X-Men 1, X-Men 94-160 2 copies each all in nm/mint (one to read a little the other went straight to storage). Hulk 181, Avengers 4, Tales To Astonish…I’m doing this from memory, but it was the first appearance of Groot. I bought for 5 bucks b/c I thought a talking tree was cool. Man, I could talk comics forever. I bought X-Men #3 back in the day in NM condition for $20 bucks…My Dad was PISSED!!! The whole run of Neal Adams Green Arrow/Green Lantern (literally everything Adams ever did). Ok, I’m stopping now.
Buy 1 each month sounds great, but who can afford to buy each month a book like ASM 2? Buy what you like is better.

💯 love the final quote. That's how I've been collecting my collection and thats "Just buy what you love"
Just wow. When I get down on the market and collecting, I see a video like this and then I realize that why I love comics.
What a cool dude with great advice at the end. Get what you love and don't speculate. Mind blowing collection there.
Pedro needs Spectacular Spider-Man 90 to complete the Black costume set.
Web of Spider-Man #1, too.
Dope vid even better collection! I appreciate that he was willing to show the world his PC!! That’s a great guy to know and rub elbows with fr fr .
Good advice at the end. I speculated when I first got back into collecting as an adult... bought and sold a bunch for a loss... live and learn, but if you can learn from another's mistakes... that's the best way to do it
That collection is everything that I love! Marvel Keys, especially Spidey and Batman to go with it. Great stuff there! Worth well over 200k!
Pedro living all our dreams. Amazing collection. A lot of money, time and effort in that collection.
I live in Orlando where is Heroes con?
Great collection! Very happy to see some great books in good hands.
Dude who’s the guy he sends his books to get clean and pressed. I have some books I want to send to him
That was the best collection I've ever seen and I'm sure he had more!
One can go to a small comic book convention and not see the nice books that Pedro has. What an amazing collection. Great, great job.
Thanks you!
Great video. I'm also at that point where trades are probably better than selling especially with those bigger key books.
Awesome collection! It's giving me inspiration
Great Video!! This guy knows what's up! Stay away from the small books, buy the big ones 👍
Man - that is one of the best collections I’ve seen - very nice
Pedros collection is amazing but we are the same kind of collector lol. Love your books brother😊
Wow! Totally stunned out collection! What dreams are made of! Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️
He could easily combine a few of those keys to get an AF15.
Lots of awesome books there
Brilliant congratulations, this is an insane collection "Nuff Said "😊
Man, your beautiful collection took me back to when I was a child. I had a lot of those, but gave them to my cousin. Daredevil no 1 was my first Marvel I purchased with my own cash.😀
That's incredible! My comic book collection so far is... Two comic books. 😂😂
If you have an old style CGC case, can you pay to have it removed and put into a new case without them rechecking it’s grade?
Yes. It is a reholder submission. I think it is $20 plus shipping, etc.

being a beginner, my mind is blown away by all graded books of that value!!!!!
I mean, that’s pretty cool and all….but I have a Kamandi #1 and The Cat #1 😤
Love your collection man! I’ll never be where you’re at but it would be nice to even have 1 of those secondary doubles. Very envious of your collection. Must be nice to have the $ to even attempt this. Your family is in for a treat when you pass these on. Keep me in mind when that day comes. Jk awesome collection!
7:26 Resubmitting a book for reholdering just so you can get rid of the "detached staple" is EXTREMELY suspicious.
Why
Now That's A Comic Collection! My Type Of Books.
Ima huge Spider-Man fan so for me, this is one of the best comicbook collections I’ve ever seen! What’s the estimated total value of this collection?
Nice collection and listening to his advice was very helpful.
agree with Pedro, dont like the custom labels. dude has sick af collection. thanks for sharing
man this guy rules. just to play around with keys like that must be so much fun. i need to work harder to get at this level
Cgc used to recommend after every seven to 10 years to recase the book because the micro chamber paper was supposedly used up but then they realized that the microchamber paper last a lot longer so if you store your cgc cases in a cool climate-controlled room not in the garage or attic or basement there's really no need to change them even after twenty years I did the whole I have cases from 2001-2002 and I cracked two of them open they weren't worth that much and they were still in the exact same condition paper quality still bright white pages and funny enough I resubmitted both of them 1 was 94 and one was a 96 came back a 96 and a 9.8 WhitePages I did the resubmit back in 2022
My problem is things are so more expensive today than 5-6 years ago, not just comics but everything else with rent and gas being the most now.
Slabbing......what is the point if you're not a full-time dealer or seller? Slab your entire collection, just to stare at the front and back covers? Wtf?! At least the guy in this video actually sells and trades at Cons and shows but everybody who slabs........why?
I have a bunch of those, but your grades blow a lot of mine away. Sweet set of books. I didn't see a Tales to Astonish 44 in there though.
Incredible collection 😮
Very nice collection!!! Beautiful! But… who is Lenny?!?!? I have some comics I want to cgc and need some special magic touch!! lol
Awesome collection outstanding
I hope he hires security when he transports those books to shows, looks like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing this collection buddy!
This video was 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible collection !!
Who is Lenny, the one who cleans and presses your books?
Do you have insurance for your collection?
Those 9.8's are insane 💥💥💥
Conan The Barbarian #10 was one of the first three comics I ever read, then it took me 20 years to finally get #1 but mine is nowhere near a 9.6.
Trading up is definitely a sensible and potentially lower-cost way of upgrading one's collection - a strategy that makes a lot of sense and goes perfectly with buying what you enjoy.
Uh why doesn't he trade a few doubles and get an af15?
Amazing collection knows what he's doing too you can tell. Great video
Not only does he have an impressive collection, but he also seems like a really cool guy
That Hulk 1 can be a CPR candidate if you use the right presser. The spine is rougher than needed, along with some wrinkles.
I have a Super man 34 Vg/FR Red Cross cover
i keep hearing everyone say it’s perfect time to buy comics now. What age of comics? or all comics in general?
Golden Age isn’t cheap but Silver Age is very affordable right now. I’d start there!
Great collection.
I have a bunch from the 1980's that I have been planning to take the LCS to sell. (The 'Nam complete series, a lot of Marvel Two-In-One and Marvel Team-Up, plus the 1st Punisher mini-series, I even have an old Superman comic that I got Clint Eastwood to sign when he was filming Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (It was the only thing I had handy to get his signature on - He commented that he had never signed a any comic before then, and he was humble it was a Superman comic) plus a few eclectic #1 and #2 editions of books I never really continued getting)

Great advice...buy one a month
What's the address of this collection? You know.. for educational purposes 🙄
Very impressive collection.
Dang dude, nice collection...thanks😮
Nice Videos..What is the Price Ranges of the Comics Please?Where you got the Comics?The Comics plastic covers is your idea?If You bought the Comic Plastic Covers Where You Bought it and How much please?What is the Numbers Presents What For In Plastic covers please?
Hey man those are some great storage for your CGCs where did you grab those from?
How can I send you pictures of all the books I got. They all are 25 cents to 30 cents
Yo!! That’s what’s up….. the best of the best collection so far in one place. And all graded and the deadpool first appearance he has both? Thats crazy anyways tnx for sharing pedro.
What do you call the bags for the slabs?
They are BCW CGC Mylars 👍
@@TheComicsDen thanks guys! Cheers from the Philippines. Love to see some Fantastic Four books on your future contents. 🍻
First black cat is hard to get in high grade wow. 9.9. So much black on cover wow
Please give the contact info for your comic presser Lennie!
What mylar bags was he using for his slabs?
Impressive collection. Im speechless
Wow awesome collection and not many price manufactured variants and modern books 👏👏👏 Mu style
So who is Lenny? Please provide link to this presser?
always buy legendary GOAT comics. I'm a sports card collector, can never go wrong with GOATS.
Agree with him about hating those custom labels. Make the slabs look like a kids art project
Wow. This is birthday gift from me to me 😅😅😅😮😮😮😊😊😊
When he shaves his head, he takes his time. Just like his calculated trades and purchases.
Wow great video thanks for sharing
I recently found my entire collection I forgot about from the 90s I had no idea how valuable they are
I get that you put a “+” but try $500,000+ - at least - to make it slightly more accurate for what he even showed on this video…what a collection!
11:21 "trading the bronze age book for a silver age grail." - damn!
How much is it to grade a comic
Some nice comics there, love the Spiderman covers.
Pedro is doing it right. --Can't go wrong with his advise!!
Impressive. Thanks for sharing
WoW just simply awesome 😎
The gray Incredible Hulk in the start I own. I’m planning on selling it for £320
So is Lenny equivalent to a card trimmer in the comic world? Is that not frowned upon?
Wow, that is all, wow!
He has some monster books. I can't even get AMS#129,TMNT#1, X-Men#1,Hulk#181 and Cerebus#1 cause they cost thousands but hopefully by the end of this year,I will get at least one of my grail books.
How did that go at the end?
Just started my collection today. I have about 100 comics and 4 graded. I need help starting this journey. By the way who’s Lenny ? 😂
I got The Incredible Hulk #1 the facsimile edition. 😀👍
why does he think james gunns dc is goig to make dc comics blow up? suicide squad didnt gain any value after both movies. Ive had the first issue graded 9.2 since before the first suicide squad movie came out and its value barely went up and the value didnt change at all after the second movie

You can put acid-free paper and "draw" that foxing out.
My last purchase was X Men 4. 7.0 I could NOT get a good deal on 7.5
Fantastic Collection
Lots of awesome comics. 😀👍
Sweet collection!
