- I recently made a video where I went through two huge collections of comic books with some friends… but there was so much more that I missed! I head back and buy an entire long box full of comics out of this collection mostly sight unseen… but even at the bargain price of $50, did I even get my money’s worth?! Check out the video and decide for yourself!

I give the “old man grunt” at least twice a day. “Are there any comics I should throw away?” NEVER! Sell or give to young kids to get them started on comics, but NEVER “throw away.” Good Gads! 😂
Haha I promise I was joking about the throwing away!
The Action Comics Annual #1 that was shortly visible is an awesome Early Arthur Adams story! It's a stand alone story and pretty darn good! Also Elektra Assassin is a really good read.
A long box for $50 is the way to go.
Did some say D&D?!?
I got a large collection of the Nam and when I put it on eBay it was gone in a couple of hours. Great Michael Golden art.
What OG said. The best Thor Run by far is the Simonson Run both for storyline and awesome characters and cross overs
Very cool grab. And no amount of comics are a waste of money as long as you enjoy them (no matter what some collectors out there try to tell us). X-Factor is a title I've never read much of, but I've enjoyed what I have read. I really should get more of those books. Great haul, Mike!
1st thing I noticed was the view I have never seen before.thank you for showing us a quick tour. All my comics are stored in long boxes in a cupboard 😂. Open door see them stacked, shut the door and tour done 😂😅😂😅
You’re the best Mike! Awesome buy 🤙🔥🙏
You got a great deal on the box. My favorites were New Mutants and X-Factor.
New Mutants run by Claremont is great. Definitely great a reading box for $50.00. You noted the Avengers issue with Jean Grey's cocoon. Be aware you showed the Fantastic Four follow up to the Avengers story where Jean Grey appears from the cocoon. Also, as a few commented if you haven't read the Simonson Thor run you have a few that can start you a new goal for that run. Definitely great reading.
That was a great pick up for only $50. You can bulk a lot of that out and triple your money.
Fantastic pickup for the price! You can sell those as lots of 9 or 10 in a Legal flat-rate envelope for under $10 shipping. Thanks for sharing! That was fun!
For that price and you are filling in holes…..perfect pickup Mike👍
X-Men and Alpha Flight miniseries is one of my favorite stories of all time. That Action Comics with Batman is Art Adams I think. Barry Ween is pure genius.
I loved the Xfactor series and subscribed to it with my local comic shop back in the day. Loved the Simonson art and the introduction of angel turning into archangel. Great stuff!
Awesome buy Mike! You NEED the Simonson Thor run!!!
For me, Simonson's Thor run is right up there with Byrne's FF and FM's Daredevil run. One of the best.
I've recently assembled Byrne's run on Alpha Flight just to experience again how much fun the first 30-odd issues are. No high-grade copies, just decent readers - I won't be selling them this time so grade isn't so important.
I recommend reading Elektra: Assassin, great story and knockout Sienkiewicz art.
I had the complete run of The Nam, ended up selling them except for the Michael Golden-drawn issues and a few after he left, drawn by the very talented Wayne Vansant.
That Action Comics Annual is excellent, great story by John Byrne and Art Adams/Dick Giordano on art.
There's no such thing as a comic (or book or magazine) that's only good enough to throw away. If you don't have time to read the comics then there'll be others who will. And as for value, the box is definitely worth $50.
I was definitely joking about throwing any away, it was more of a “do you guys think any of these are terrible”
Great buy Brother. Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯
Nice grab I loved that Barry ween series great read and the alpha flight is my favorite series growing up
very nice for 20 cents a book , X Factor is the only run I have every issue ! Great pick up
If you are going to read the runs, certainly it’s worth it. Probably more effort than worth it on the collecting side. Good video!
Awesome Purchase! Your comic book videos are great entertainment that I always look forward to watching. 😊
The only reason I got into the Nam was the art work. I have the magizines, comics and trade paper backs.
the cloak and dagger issues have really sweet covers too... loved Dagger as a teenager
You started earning your street cred' back. This was a great purchase.
Loved watching you sort through runs.
250 comics you find in dollar bins, plus new mutants and alpha flight first issues worth 5-10$, I’d say that’s over $300 worth of comics you got for $50
That Iron Man issue with Ant-man on the cover is pretty sweet too
Nice pick up ! Great price and some really good books!
25th Anniversary covers are a lot of fun to collect until they’re not. I’m look at you Care Bears.
I know you said quality, not quantity Mike but sometimes a deal is a deal. What a great way to fill out runs or even start them that way! I totally think you got a good deal! quite a few good books in just the 3 Alpha Flight, New Mutants and X-Factor to add up to what you paid and the rest is free bonus. You have some great little bundles now to trade, swap or giveaway now!
I love finding a long box or two cheap. The best part is going through the box excited to find out if the next book is a big one or that one book you just can't find.
I'm trying to finish my new mutants and xfactor run also. I already have the keys for both, w the exception of 1st arcangel w xfactor. Great buy!
Run filling is quality! Nice pick up
For all intensive purposes, a box of comics is worth $50! Btw, when you mentioned your game room, dungeons and dragons,and guitars I was like Holy Cow...you have all the same hobbies as me!!!
Lmao your oops at the end for buying a whole bunch of comics was funny to me😂. Nice buy for all those books! And I love the little sneak peak of your room/collection, can’t wait to see more one day!
Wow! At 20cents a book. Excellent stuff. Congrats!
I am also collecting The Nam, Alpha Flight and Punisher. I think I saw an issue of MOM in your box, now that is an ok fun story to read, definitely something different. Also, the entire Alpha Flight is just a great read, I remember issue 31 being a fantastic read, and issue 32 is so much about Puck and why he is short, that story made me fall in love with Mr. Puck. I hope you very much enjoy those two story’s.
I think that's an awesome steal and the spiderman punisher cover I love just like you I grew up in the 90s so I enjoy good ol 90s marvel so I'm a huge Thunderstrike fan so I know my 90s marvel
You got a great deal there Mike. I bought almost all those Marvel titles and Superman in the mid 80's. I loved the first twelve issues of the NAM. The Michael Golden art was beautiful. The boot camp part is really close to reality. I had just joined the Marines in early 82. I believe the Nam started in 82 as well. Some great Alpha Flights, New Mutants and X-Factor too. I remember I bought the NMs GN and all the Sal Buscema issues #1-#25? Same with X-Factor I never liked Apolklips myself. As well as Arch Angel that's when I stoped buying it. Loved Cloak & Dagger for the Rick Leonardi art too.I dug the Silver Age and Bronze Age much more myself. Nova, Godzilla, Rom Spaceknight etc. Happy Hunting for the rest of those New Muntants, etc.
missing so many issues on my daredevil run for the 80's. my goal this year is to finish my run :)
Never apologise for having a awesome untidy ‘nerd room” !!!!
I saw you passed up the first issue of Nice House on the Lake! If you haven’t read it already it’s definitely worth picking up & reading! So good!!!
Love your videos too 😀
Pretty much ANY comics for $50 long box is great, even & $100 a long box is a fantastic deal, unless they are all water damaged lol… why someone would sell a long box for $50 is crazy like twenty cents a comic…I’ll buy it from you for $60. 😅
I watched all the ads in this video and didn't skip it so you'll get monetized and have more money for that X-Men number 1 goal.
Haha you definitely don’t have to do that but thanks so much!
great price and fantastic haul bro 👍😎
A messy nerd room? yes please! Is there any other good nerd room?
All these great comics for 50 dollars????
Did i see the return of Jean Grey in the fantastic four issues? ( together with the Avengers cocoon issue).
Happy reading.
Better get insurance for your comics, a lot of them have value. But I sure hope you can make your home fire proof.
Another AMAZING video! Keep up the good work!!
Kisses from Greece
Michael Golden art in the Nam is awesome the 1st 25 to 30 issues are great ... the trades are a great way to catch up on chunks at a time.
$50 for a long box of 80's comics is an absolute steal, if not for their monetary value then for their reading enjoyment! If you enjoy Daredevil, I highly recommend picking up the TPB for Elektra Assassin from which you have a couple of issues. Like Claremont & Miller's collaboration on Wolverine, Elektra Assassin is pure gold from the genius of Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz. After reading it, I've been looking for the limited series. I'm also collecting the entire run of The New Mutants for more Sienkiewicz goodness. Great haul, Mike, and thanks for sharing!
Wow sooo many books I would take… couldn’t believe the price.
You got a great deal. I collected that night crawler this year myself. I would say the anniversary issues of the heads were my favorites that you showed. I bet if a person put half a dozen of the anniversary heads on a plaque and took them to a flea market it would sell really well, just guessing.
Good afternoon Mike
LMC done well, and Rock'n'Roll too! Man I am Impressed. Are they are pair of Gibsons Hanging there? The one on the left I can see in the hands of John Lennon. The one on the right has to be Duane Allman. That is not a man cave, it is a man Castle!! Oh the comics are great too, not that it matters, but true Lunch Money Value. I have to know were you in a band?
Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
Not Gibsons but they have that look. One was an Ibanez guitar and the other a Gretsch bass. And I’ve been in MANY bands over the years
Well I am a fan for life then. The motto on my wheelhouse Bass/Drums/Guitars.
Blue Oyster Cult's Some Enchanted Evening is a great soundtrack for comic reading.
R U ready to rock
cheers Al
@@lunchmoneycomics
Nice haul, indeed! Though, you should have grabbed that Nice House on the Lake you flipped by in the second box. Great read!
You got an amazing deal. I need a friend like Mike. I am a X-Men fan, so those New Mutants, X-Factor, and Alpha Flight issues were worth it. I believe that Alpha Flight is Marvel's hidden gem. I also loved the multiple titles you had that were crossovers with the X-Men. I am not the biggest Spider-Man fan but I do enjoy a Night Thrasher appearance (New Warriors fan all day) and the anniversary covers were incredible. Well worth the $50. This was a fantastic haul.
Recently bought a long box from a total stranger I met through a friend . Slightly higher in price than yours but had a bunch of keys. Funny enough I'm a Marvel fan through and through but he had one almost complete run of vigilante. So when I heard you say vigilante I took a double take to see if that was one I was missing lol.
Great Value for a crisp $50!
Hey Mike. For the price you bought, you can't go wrong. New Mutants and Alpha Flight are awesome . Anytime I lift one of my comic book boxes, I give grunt too lmao. Hopefully this week , I can find more comics. Keep on making good videos and finding some awesome comics.
That first box could have come from my collection. Well, they would have been in order bagged and boarded but, still LOL
Simonson Thor run is a great read.
A good percentage of TNM's for 20 cents a piece is a phenomenal deal!
Awesome haul of comic books! And at a great price. Definitely a great start to completing some runs for you. Love the content keep up the great work. 😎
It's not a key, but that Action Comics Annual #1 would be amazing to have!! Byrne and Adams!! You are lucky! and the Phantom Stranger by Mike Mignola, another bonus.
That Action comics issue is a keeper...
Nice pickups! Hang onto those Teen Titans. I'll buy them from you come September when I make it out there for Brimfield!!
That's a great deal! Completing the run of The New Mutants is a goal for me this year, as well. I have 71 issues but I know I'm going to have to shell out a few bucks for a 98. Great video as always, man!
Worth it for the Alpha Flight alone, but a ton of other real cool stuff.
It was actually nice to see the ones that I have in my own personal collection. Even though they’re not pricey.
So I've been watching a lot of comic channels lately and I am very very surprised no one has mentioned anything about upper deck epack having comics now. I would love to hear your thoughts and maybe a review on it.
Nothing like Daredevil
I really enjoyed the judgment day run from last year. Nice haul!
Sweet pick up for only 50 bucks I am also trying to finish the X factor run as well
That's awesome you got all that Alpha Flight and New Mutants! I'm only missing like 11-60 of New Mutants. Alpha Flight I only have around 10 books or so. You getting all that for less then 50 bucks is beyond amazing to me. Congrats big time Mike. I only got that far before I had to comment. Going to finish and see what else you got.
Such a great box! Awesome gets Mike!
Mike, Boss video!! GReat bunch of grabs for $ 50!! So what are you going to read FIRST? I just started pulling X -FACTORs out of the $1 box at New Dimension Comics. of course no copies of # 5,6 or 24!! Also tons of NEW MUTANTS there as well! If you love the FF why no love for the THING series? Cool vid (as always!)
I don’t know, I guess I’m just not a huge fan of the Thing on his own, same with all the FF. They are a package deal to me lol
At 20 cents a book, sounds like a “quality” deal too good to pass up….nice gets!
why cant i get amazing offers and great reveals like this!?! any tips mike? right place/ right time? as we all know, its all about the thrill of the hunt
Not bad for fifty bucks!!! Love those mystery boxes!!!😊
Just bought my first issue of Deadman upon Mike's recommendations looked up his first ever appearance and after what I paid for shang chi,s first appearance let's just say I need to slow down and leave it there haha.
Trust me, I’ve been there!
@lunchmoneycomics Cool it's funny but it's not funny haha you know what I mean.
That Action Annual is a really good story; make sure you read it.
I believe that the Spider-man hologram covers had a silver hologram and a Gold Hologram.
Nice video ....N I think u got a great deal !
Very jealous of that New Mutants haul, one of my goals this year is to complete that run also. Its going to be a stretch as I have about 40 issues to go. Great Great pick up Mike.
I have no doubt you’ll finish that run!
@@lunchmoneycomics Me too, I’ve got all of the big ones out of the way so it’s just all filler right now. Im also only 7 away on the Uncanny C.C. Run 😁I always seem to be just a few books behind you 😎
For comics, quantity vs quality is my struggle
For most of us I think!
It's definitely a great era for good reading. So put me down as a "good buy".
Great pick up Mike!
Ha,c'mon mike any haul that averages 20cents a book is an awesome buy ? Especially with so many X affiliated titles,I'd buy a box like that any damn time !!?
Awesome haul!
The “possible hernia” tag had me dead.
Read Elektra the Assassin!!!! Great Frank Miller story....
AMAZING deal for $50!!!
Thank you!
I need some advice!
I'm going to a convention in Richmond Virginia called "Galaxy Con" in march
Jim Shooter and Gerry Conway are going to be signing and hopefully Chris Claremont as well...
I have tons of Xmen but I need some old Jim Shooter and Gerry Conway Comics!
What are some good issues I know Jim Shooter did Secret Wars but sadly I had to sell my Secret Wars 8!
Watching this makes me want to start 1bin hunting lol idk why
Wow! Lotta great stuff I personally like!
You got a good deal.
Question: what type of rails did you use for your comic book display wall?
They are just vinyl wall panel moulding you can get at most retail hardware stores. They are meant to hold panels together put they fit comics nice if you use a bagged and boarded one as a spacer
Lawrry's House!
Love love love the room
I noticed that you have a couple of the MB Game Master series games Axis and Allies and Samurai Swords, do you have the other three games as well ? 😃🐳👍
Those are the only ones I’ve owned but I’ve played Fortress America
Yeah Fortress America is fun to play. Conquest of the Empire is a six player game but one person is knocked out by the fifth turn every time. It is a great four player game. It s funny that Broadsides and Boarding parties is the most sought after of the five games and my least favorite to play. Then there is Crossed Swords or Shogun, same game, probably my favorite to play. Great replay value. 😃👍🐳
I don t know they felt the need to release Shogun as Samurai Swords and then Crossed Swords, the only difference was the box picture and title. Also for all you strategy gamers, Hero Quest was rereleased in 2023 again. They said that thirty seven years was a long enough wait. Of course I heard about it after it was on the store shelves. They also released all of the satellite games as well. Get em while you can. I have not played it yet, I m still waiting for a truckload of gamers to break down outside my house. 😃👍🐳
The Prime Minister is Issue 1 is a characture of the current PM's dad.
That celestialis Arishem the Judge
Cool video 👍👍
I'd say it was was worth it.
