Amazing advice. I wish I'd seen this 25 years ago, would have prevented a lot of mistakes. Lot's of great content in Raph's channel!

I think you found some Gems, and at a great price.

Thank you! love the content, i just posted a youtube of my childhood collection, i need to organize them because as you can see from my youtube video, they arent in the best condition haha definitely were a kept in heat :(

I've watched four or five of your videos now and I think it is criminal that you are below 200 subscribers. Great content!

Really enjoyed seeing these as I never focused on horror beyond buying EC hardcover reprints. A complete run of any of these DC titles would have made for great reading as well as a collecting accomplishment!

thanks for the tips my friend 💯👍

Good info for newer collectors, man.

I'm old-school - short boxes only, corrugated cardboard. For gold/silver Mylites, I started with Gerber boxes, then moved to Diamond magazine boxes.They are useful to store my magazines, hardcover and soft trades too!

Great overview of grading!

Thank you for this video! It's nice seeing someone going over topics a lot of comic channels don't touch on. I just sent out some comics for grading and I think I made some poor choices but we live and learn. I up the great content!

Thanks for the info Raph! Great Collection!

Great video and info! Just subbed 👍

Great video, and great taste in comics.

hello. i didnt know Fu Manchu collected comics!

I used painters tape to close my comic book bags

Great pick ups. I like the idea of an Artist Index. So many great cover and interior artists these days.

awesome haul my friend 😁💯

Rob's closing the store?!? Is it official? We've been frequenting his place for over 35 years. That will truely be a sad day 😢. I think we can both agree that over the years, Rob has become more than just the owner of our lcs. He's become a dear friend. I wish him nothing but the best. I'll have to get down there to see him soon. We need to arrange to all get together for dinner and a few beers. Will's brought it up a few times. I think it's time.

Don't forget the 6 annuals. I call them "The Kirby108"!

Great info will be watching you always

Great video! Very helpful! I've been so focused on the hunt and I definitely need to organize more. Have a great weekend 👍🏼👍🏼👊👊🎃🎃

Finally, a comic tuber who talks clear and slowly. Good vid.

I have that Warlock run, in double😁, and triplecate😬. Same thing with Strange Tales 178 - 181, and Starlins Captain Marvel run. I can't help myself. 👍✌

That Marvel Age X-Men show preview was actually for a pilot that was basically an anime. Toei, who did big shows like Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon, were the ones who animated it. Marvel had done some stuff with them before like the Japanese live action Spider-Man show. The pilot was called Pryde of the X-Men, and in my unpopular opinion, it was better than what we got later. But of course, that anime never made it past the pilot, and it was the later show that was a hit and continues to be with the X-Men '97 continuation.

Marvel Fanfare was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Spotlighting creators and various characters, having cool pinup art, having no ads (right? Or were there ads), and being printed on that nice paper just made for a great series. I wish Marvel would try that again but I just don't think they have enough talent or care to really do it right.

As a life long dog owner, the bond is real. Great spotlight.

Red Sonja was based on/adapted from Robert E Howard's Red Sonya (with the y) of Rogatino. She was in her own story and not originally a swordswoman from The Hyborian Age, but when Roy Thomas brought her to the comics, he changed her quite a bit, including the spelling of her name. I'm guessing he had Conan say her name with that hyphenated "ya" both as a reference to the original spelling and a way to tell the reader how to pronunciaite it.

Great tips! I was just thinking of picking up some of the plastic boxes from Comic Pro line, but haven't seen anyone use them, so this was super helpful. Moving to all short boxes too. Helps my back. lol

Great video!

Really great and informative video for any collector. Your Bronze Age horror is absolutely beautiful my friend, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!

Great video, I love your storage solutions 🎉

The "Meddler" is actually my favorite Marvel superhero. And yes, he is a hero precisely because he meddles! I have a complete run of What If to this day, even though Uatu isn't in the newest (not very good) issues that are just a miniseries. But yeah, so many awesome characters debuted in Fantastic Four. I haven't read all those early issues but I have a handful of them, including The Watcher's first appearance.

New subscriber. Great tip and tricks. I did a review of contest of champions. Such a under rated series. Thanks for sharing.

I know this is an old video, but those are some great books. My favorite place to shop for comics that isn't actually a comic book shop is Half Price Books. I don't know if you have any in Toronto (I'm in the U S.), but they mostly sell comics for half of cover price, even the 12 cent ones (if you're lucky to find any). They do sell some with higher sticker prices if they know there collectible. Even so, I always find great books for really cheap when I shop there.

I love Contest of Champions, but it really, really bothered me that they messed up the team point total between issues. Huge continuity mistake!

My storage materials: Bags - Comic Pro Line OPP Silver/Regular - These are clearer, thicker and less wavy than BCW bags Boards - Comic Pro Line 28pt - That extra 4pts feels much sturdier than standard 24pt boards Tape - Avery 5428 Multi-Use Labels - these are 1"x3/4" and come in packs of 1000 Boxes - Gemini Thick Grip Short Box - thick walls, very sturdy and the grips are close to the lids making them easier to carry

I like using spreadsheets too. I use Excel online and include Publisher, Titlle, Issue #, Cover, Release date, cover price, price I paid, date i purchased, source/store, era/universe, read/not read.

Cool tips thanks again my friend we need more videos on how to take care of your comics

Not enough videos on storage options.Thank you for this much needed video!

It kinda hurts...my childhood is "Retro"...

3.40 The Watcher / meddler. Oh you mean Dr. Who....[ dodges brick...]

FF and Howling commando series were favs...movie representations of Nick Fury kinda left me..meh.

thanks for posting I am almost 70 s i grew up with this stuff

Charles Atlas was spoofed in a 1950s story arc in Al Capp's Li'l Abner comic strip ; which was one of the most popular comic strips during its history ( 1930s - 70s). I actually sent away for his fitness program. He promoted what he called Dynamic Tension ; tensing your muscles in various poses. Push ups , sit ups and other standard exercises were the training you applied Dynamic Tension with. His techniques of self defense were standard wrestling and judo moves but his boxing lessons were outdated ; John L. Sullivan bare knuckle style tactics. I received the complete course , over a period of 6(?) months if I remember correctly. I stopped studying his program half way through. I was getting enough exercises during school gym class and with after school activities. Seeing the ad so often I just got curious about its methods.

Great episode! Probably my favorite thus far...but where's the Blackhawk reference?

I enjoy it 💯👍

Awesome haul my friend love the video 💯👍

Just found your channel. Great haul of dollar books. It's amazing what you can find sometimes. Love seeing all the treasures you picked up! love that you found that Visionaries comic! I have that whole short run but only because I bought them when they came out. nice find!

Loved this one. Of course The Hammer of Hell is one of my favourites and I've loved this story for a while, but DD is my main man and I'm intrigued by your comments on the Fanfare story (an out of the way issue I'll be on the lookout for). Now my mind is whirling about why the heck DD never had a seeing eye dog sidekick or extended story line -- such a natural.

A nice lot of back issues there, at a $ each you got a great bargain on some of them I think. I got a few half price back issues on FCBD myself but I never made out as well as you I don't think. Cool stuff
