I completely agree with the guys opinion about slabs. And I'm probably 1/2 his age. it's just hype. speculation. making a quick buck.
Ive noticed more and more dealers and vendors are vocally against getting comics graded. They realize it was a scam.
That guy at the 11:30 minute mark is pure gold what a legend he summed it up so well 🙌
preach it brother! Comics are for reading. I need his contact he just made a new customer
Exactly. CGC and the whole grading industry is a huge scam. We are relying on someone else's opinion on the condition of a comic. Not to mention CGC has been caught being inconsistent with their grading, which is supposed to be objective. Unfortunately a majority of the people in the hobby fell for it.
@@Collectordisorderthat was my LCS guy growing up and I am still in touch with him today….
@@dzetwo1 does he have a website?
He’s my father, I can private message you with his email address. He’s mostly retired these days only appearing at certain shows throughout the year. If you’re interested I’ll PM you his contacts.
The old timer is correct. CGC did nothing for the hobby but bring in speculators. I have over 10,000 books. I have three boxes of slabs. The slabs I've purchased were because I couldn't find a high enough grade of the book for my collection or I was speculating. I understand slabbed books but high grade high value books belong in a mylar with a nice sturdy board.
I really dig that guy wearing the UCF hat! 👍
12:04 preach it brother!
I love when you talk to the old-timers.
11:49 - this is the best guy at the whole con
GREG WHITE.
@13:00 mark. That gentleman is absolutely correct! Slabbing is for flipping or investing. I collect raws but I do have slabs and that’s only for selling in the future. It preserves and there’s no question on the grade so let’s talk money. But I want to read my comics…all of them so I go for raws in mid grade. If it’s really expensive then I’ll get a low grade just to wet the comic pallet. Who is this seller? Does he have a IG? I’d love to support him.
Good on that guy at 12 min mark, amen to what he was saying.
I’m glad you guys finally made it to Greg’s table and highlighted him. Great long time seller and huge knowledge of the business. Traveling up and down the roads with him growing up and doing shows with him. Great knowledge of the business and listening to great southern rock as a kid.
I don't know the guy, but he's seen the comic book dealing industry's ups and downs. When he says CGC hurt the hobby, he's definitely speaking from experience. He remembers the 90s and all the gimmicks used to sell books then. Now, some of that stuff is creeping back.
Can you tell me the name of the vendor in the hat ? I would like to do business with him he is spot on slabs are not for collectors
The legendary GREG WHITE.
I’m Greg’s son, I can private message you his contact information.
@@ew1745I would also like his contact info met him in Miami mega con and would to see if he has a book I’m looking to buy. Would rather buy from him then some other people. Thanks
@@ew1745yes please
I enjoyed the gentleman's opinion on CGC/slabbing, he's right they aren't Baseball cards or coins where you can just flip those over to see the whole thing.... the only reason to slab is if you're selling to get a better price.
I understand the gentleman's opinion on CGC/slabbing - it's a devisive thing. But for me I like having slabbed books for display purposes. And have never 'flipped' a single one, and have no plans to do so anytime soon. But I do consider them an investement - only time will tell if it's a good one. Either way collecting them has brought me joy.
I got to meet Greg White at the Albuquerque Comic Con in January, 2024. I was going through the same Wonder Woman box as you, Sarah! I found two beautiful silver age WW books and bought them from Greg. Those comic books are all gorgeous ❤
Loved the megacon series! You guys have been killing it lately with the videos. Great job! Unreal artwork you’ve added to your collection. Smart move investing in that stuff more now too. All the best, cheers!
Great video! Preach Greg preach!
Yeah you guys came up with that Platt piece. Absolutely stunning!
Stephen Platt drew artwork that was like a panel from a comic book.
That Moon Knight piece is soooo nice! AWESOME!!
Book hunt, yay ! It's my wife's birthday.🎉 I'll save y'all a piece of cake.
Best comic book channel on RUclips 😁🤷🏾♂️ yeah I said it lolo
Between hosting your own house sale vids, going to comic cons, and the Joe vids. You guys live and breathe the hobby 😁
Congrats on that Moon Knight piece so dooe. I hope Stephen remembered who you were Angelo 😅 I dont think he understood how much he made your day lolo Artists draw so many pictures and meet so many ppl I think they can get exhausted 😂😂 Keep up the nice vids
Very nice looking Moon Knight piece! And I enjoyed the history lesson on Batman #1. He brought up some great points.
Glad to see You enjoyed the show its nice a big show this warm and friendly.
I wish you could some how get a shot of the artist names at their booths

It would be great if you could add text to show the artists/vendors that you feature in these videos.
Always find it interesting when people who fashion themselves to be entreprenuers and dont know shit about comics history, go to cons, make a short video of true comic lovers to fake their cred, and then think they are wonderful because some flavor of the month artist draws something for them. So totally awesome!
Collecting OA is expensive but it’s awesome. I pick up Eastman OA when I can afford it!
That guy seemed like he had a really poor attitude. He did say he was tired, but when you asked “ do you have a favorite character or title” he said “ whichever pays”…that was a big downer. The dude really doesn’t have one character or team or book he likes?!? He needs to learn to be a bit more cheerful
I agree. I was looking in the comments for someone thinking what I was thinking 😂
I personally know him and he always was a huge Spider-Man and Batman guy. That’s just who he is. Very nice guy, you can’t watch a few minutes on a RUclips page and judge someone
Most collectors don't actually read comics. They only buy for the cover or if it's a "key issue". This is why CGC has gotten such a foothold. CGC has transformed comics into commodities instead of what they are supposed to be: stories.
How does the cons Batman Beyond foil differ from the Batman Beyond foil that came out in comic stores a month ago?
I just don't understand what the big deal is. The way I see it... is I'm cool with both reading and preserving.. if something is worth alot... slab it ...grade it....and read a reprint .. if it's not worth alot (which is the majority) read the hell out them. Save the good stuff for slabs !!!! Both are cool in my book
Back from the pub. New Comic Den vid. Great vid.
Great Video!!!
The old man hates slabs but yet has slabs for sale
That was interesting. When I saw him in Albuquerque he told me he didn't sell slabs and he didn't have any at his booth at the con in January, '24.
What ever pays me, lol
Everytime I see flash book especially silver age I just smile I love them so much 👑❤️
Jae Lee is always an awesome artist
Awesome piece!!congradulation!
Awesome too see those Lois Lane comics
Dealers who dont have any high grade older books always seem to be the ones against slabs. Doubt he has silver 9.4s raw to sell
The videos were great (except the one where you give away comics, that one was boring). I watched them with great pleasure, keep it on!
I have some books that i would like slabbed but not graded by cgc, and maybe top loaders will do, but i have a few connecting issues of comics that i think would look great displayed next to each other, but that would be for me
there are plastic display cases readily available for exactly that
Great video
Who was the artist in the Daytona 500 shirt? Like 8 mins in. Thanks guys!
He’s excellent do we know who he is?
Good Show!!
Comics are no longer what these shows are about. They need to change the name
Hi. What's the name of the old-timer at 9:50? Does he have an online presence at all?
Greg White!
Hey grant, I’m Greg’s son. I can private message you his email. That’s the best way to get ahold of him. Let me know if interested.
megacon looked great loved your doctor doom drawing
lol, at thirteen min, wouldn't that had been f'n hilarious if, while he's talking lmao, you see this hand, lol, sloowlly grab that Inc Hulk 181 in the back ground just to the left of his face,...lol, no barriers, no cameras recording, ...would a jewelry store convention have zero security?
When are you going to meet Ryan Ottley and get a sketch?
Did he ever get his stolen book found?
I don’t want to speak for him but long story short…. No
@@dzetwo1 I felt bad after seeing their interview with him last year.
I can appreciate his sentiment on grading companies, but he’s still profiting off their existence by selling books based off the price of graded copies. Unless he’s selling that Amazing Fantasy 15 behind him for 10 cents, that’s all I’m saying.
dude say i dont sell to slabbers and flippers...... angelo
Doesn't look at it as an investment but has huge price tags
Unfortunately that was my thought as I was looking through his booth and some of the others.
I was able to get some of what I was looking for elsewhere at the con for much cheaper but guess that’s just business 🤷♂️.
If you notice most of these artists are wore out... I get the feeling they don't want to talk 😅 they seem irritated
Whatever came of that vendors af 15 that was stolen then being sold on eBay?
didn't realize that was the same guy that had his af 15 ripped off last year. hopefully he had it insured and got some money back, couldn't find any news after it being sold on ebay.
Graded anything is over rated and waste of money and does taint the whole idea there to many flippers and not enough respect and admiration for the art the artist and we are teaching the young wrong way and tainting the origin
Sensible dealer what is the point of a comic book in a slab.Totally pointless and not real collecting.Cannot at all enjoy it
Excellent Video! Awesome Comics and That Moon knight drawing is amazing.
Y’all should take lessons from that old head
The old man is so right I totally agree with him he is awesome… 🫡
"Who knows who has the best collection in the country". Anyone who has any real knowledge of comics knows it's Dave Anderson, the Dentist. And saying "Batman 1 is better than Tec 27", you're fucking nuts dude! Not even close haha
