    Hi! All of those comics are going to be slabbed and sold along with the rest of the raw collection. If you are interested let me or James know. A huge thanks to James for hanging out and having some fun looking at over 30years of collecting!!!

    Wow, that nearly mirrors my collection, and in a similar time frame. Was like watching someone go through my collection, sans the movie properties, much of Simonson's Thor run, and some of the DC stuff. Also, I have many more newsstands, particularly with that first volume of ASM. Cool to see someone else's collection spanning the same as mine. Looks like a lot of great high-grade copies.

    Awesome collection. It was definitely in better shape and more complete than mine. I've been collecting since 1982. I've sold entire runs that he had in that time. I still have over 50 long boxes. ( Slowly purchasing short boxes ) My back is crying for them. It is always a joy when a collection is shared to the public. You never know exactly what you will see.

    What a great collection!!! I started collecting comics in the late 70's. I remember seeing so many of these books in the LCS I used to go to back then. I was only 7 when I started collecting. I only bought ASM, Iron Man, and Captain America. I wish I would have been a more serious collector. That was just awesome to see a great personal collection.

  • @josephsokolowski271
    @josephsokolowski271 2 года назад

    Amazing stuff!!!! Loved the video. Oddly enough I started going thru my 40,000+ comic collection about three weeks ago and saw tons of the same books you showed here plus others from Independent publishers from the 80’s. As well Archie’s, Gladstone and Dark Horse from that decade.
    It’s been a blast rummaging through the old long boxes and feeling some of those keys in my hands again. What a rush!!!!
    As I have told my people over the years, I started out only reading Archie, Harvey and Disney Duck books from when I started in 1977 until about late 1982. When I started reading Marvel and DC IN 1983, my collection exploded and I acquired a ton of the stuff you showed in 3 for a $1 bins. Who would have thought I would have a little gold mine today from those boxes lol.
    BTW, one of the best books I dug out was my excellent condition copy of Archie’s Girls Betty & Veronica #320. If you know what that is then you know what I’m talking about lol.
    Love the great work you do here, keep it up my friend.

    I always get a kick at the present day of comic collecting, because everyone thinks it's the hip thing.... in the 90s when i was collecting at my peak, 80s too, it was a small world, where the True comic people collected... and it wasnt even a thing to get books graded.
    I have fantastic memories of collecting and going to Air Capital Comics in Wichita, Kansas every week.
    Great video

    Quick observation - Looking at the two X-Men Alpha books at 13:09 I'm pretty sure they are just the regular Chrome cover and 2nd Printing regular cover. The expensive version is the Gold retailer incentive which has a gold tint to the X-Men logo. Still a cool start to the Age Of Apocalypse story, though!

    Amazing collection and a great example of what you can build by just staying in the hobby and consistently picking up books you like or that have interesting first appearances. This is important to see at the moment, at a time when older books are just totally out of reach for most new collectors
    But, a cool collection doesn't have to be silver age or whatever. If you had just picked up books at cover price over the last ten or fifteen years or so, you'd have things like UF4, Young Avengers 1, first Silk, Spider-Gwen, Jane Foster Thor, Shuri, America Chavez, as well as ones that could be huge in a few years like the New Agents of Atlas. A collection like that will look pretty awesome a few years down the line
    Edit: also first Jessica Cruz, Gorr the God Butcher, Yara Flor, Immortal Hulk 1, Detective 880, Dr. Aphra, Riri Williams

    Flash 197 isn't "updated Professor Zoom" but is in fact the 1st app of Hunter Zolomon "Zoom" (a completely new and different character to Eobard Thawne "Reverse Flash". Thor 411 is known for 1st app of New Warriors, not the juggernaut cover/story. To be honest, a lot of those minor dc keys are not worth grading (anything below $20-$30 raw should def be taken out of consideration which was a majority of those modern dc "keys").
