I have some great issues of Whiz and Cap Jr!

Ha! If you ever saw how dirty it is you'd want to crack it too!!

@@SwarmofComics yea it's just sometimes specially when it comes to golden age books, cleaning does nothing for the grade, where talking dirt and grime that's been there for 80 years. If you're lucky you will crack it clean it just for it to come back the same grade, or even worse it can come back lower. The risk is just too much. sometimes the comic comes back the grade that it does because of mitigating factors that have nothing to do with how dirty it is, which will always keep it at a certain grade no matter what. For example detached cover/CF pieces from cover missing of a certain size , rips tears, spine splits, stains and so on. Trust me all I collect, buy and clean is golden age

@@jonathanloera6830 oh, and that's EXACTLY why I'm too chicken to ever do it. I am not the brave little toaster. My luck I'd f**** it all up and make it a 1.5 😆

Thank you! I'm glad people dig them. I'm pretty excited. I wish my The Shadow had a bit more of a dramatic cover, but those go for big money.

That's the direction I was heading, all golden age. But I got sucked into the Silver Age grails that I never could afford as a kid. But I have shifted back to GA mostly. The covers are absolute works of art. Hopefully I unbox some new ones in a couple of weeks!

I'm still angling to get a Hulk 180, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger. I don't know what the block is. I think I'd need to hunt for a really good deal, like I got on the 181.

Hey, but at least I have the one worth $200! :D

Thanks Hobby Anything!

I definitely think it was a success! I don't have any real gauge if the grades are accurate or not, so I can just be blissfully unaware :)

I am always VERY surprised about the affordability! You can get some great covers for cheap money. I bought most of these in a single lot on Heritage for under a hundred bucks, if not less.

Great covers.thumb up #6

@@oovotzify you can't go wrong with those beautiful painted pulp covers! I'm just mad I took so long to start collecting them!

Oh cool, drop that link here if you don't mind. Otherwise I'll go hunt for it later

I didn't even know I needed one until I found that one! This video documents me finding the book and getting it! ua-cam.com/video/IZwa7QdBc1A/v-deo.htmlsi=bsfwRjVCo_IYznU8 I hope you score one for yourself! \m/

Like they always say, buy the books not the grade! I've had a lot of inconsistency, which I've seen others have as well, and I really do have to focus on how great the books are and not worry about the grade and appreciate them :)

I think the majority were pressed, and USUALLY I get great results. I guess the comic gods were not shining on me that day.

And I get that. For me, I hadn't read any of these books in 30 years, and I wasn't planning on reading them again. If I can find a good way to preserve them, and someday sell them for retirement, it's worth having them graded. I think I also got caught up in the idea of it at that time this video was done. I've certainly slowed WAY down.

Yeah, it's such a cool story! My book came with the COA and it gave a brief explanation of the story.

Thank you! I know it's a bit different subject matter, so wasn't sure if people would be interested, so we really appreciate it.

@@SwarmofComics who wouldn’t appreciate hearing the literary works of Bronze Age Billy as he hangs out with his brother rockstar Randy? We are entertained kind sir. Keep up the great work

@@karissaeaton3994 that is most kind of you 🤗

@@karissaeaton3994 thanks!

I love that idea! What do you think Bronze-Age Bill?

@@SwarmofComics I think that's an excellent idea! Let's make it happen 🙂

Thanks for being on the show, brother!

That will be in the next video! 🙂Thanks for the support!

Bronze-Age Bill once drank a ZIMA. And he liked it. True story.

@@SwarmofComics all too true!

The second favorite host is really just me doing my best James McAvoy impression from "Split", talking to myself 😁

Thank you, I appreciate that, KABOOM!

@@SwarmofComics you guys making it to Comic Con ?

@@Kaboomcomics No, I haven't been since 2007. Right when it turned into a HUGE thing. My buddy/comic writer/guitar player in my band George O'Connor will be attending though!

Yeah, you can definitely crack it open. Though I am a bit scared of doing that and damaging the book. I have two books I want to crack and resubmit, but I'm too chicken to do it!!

Thank you! I appreciate EVERY comment!

Thank you! Comments like that mean a lot. I'm still not over the idea that people actually WATCH this stuff, never mind actually LIKE it!

Thanks man! Unfortunately they didn't say anything. That seems typical I feel.

It's funny that you say that, because I wouldn't say I like Venom, and I am not a Bagley superfan or anything. He's okay. But I like THESE books, and I liked meeting him and getting the whole process done. It was fun to try. Starlin was at this same con last year!

EXACTLY! You set yourself up for having no expectations, then you complain about not getting a better grade! 😅 But at least you get my real reaction!

Thanks, Big Lion!!

Whoa, there is a BttF comic?? That's something I need to look up! I can't keep track of covers, variants, 1:25 ratios, etc. The only thing I really cared about like that was the covers of the Creature From the Black Lagoon comic that came out. I got an AWESOME variant I'm going to make a short video about soon!

@@SwarmofComics There is indeed, a fairly long run also, I believe it is 24 issues, could be a great read, There's also a spin-off called Biff, perhaps others. I haven't looked into them too much as that only ends badly with money being spent haha. I should add it's the IDW comics I refer too, there are older ones by Harvey comics. Was kind of bumbed out when they did variant covers of the 'fear and loathing' it takes away from the "I own these! feeling" then to think "but I don't own those ones" 🤣

Thanks, Bronze-Age Bill!

Yeah, that was certainly the craziest part!!! Then I'm an idiot and complain the other one was ONLY a 9.6! #fickle

Thanks pal! I found the shirt on Teepublic somewhere, if you want to hunt for it!

Thanks, brother! It was a fun day and I got a fun story out of it! Funny enough, I didn't love Bags back in his ASM days, but I thought he was PERFECT for Ultimate Spider-Man!

Well, when you put it that way! Good thing, because one of the next videos is a CGC unboxing of Pulp Novels, and the beginning is like 8 minutes of me telling the story about the new service and the books I got, lol!

Oh excellent to know! That's one of my favorite things about doing this channel, is learning cool stuff and meeting awesome people. I appreciate you letting me know!

that would be awesome! 🙂

Thank you, I'm glad you are watching them! Your support is super cool! Good lord that sounded goofy... lol

Bronze-Age Bill, maybe we need to make a comic out of your book, so I can get it graded and signed??

@@SwarmofComics that would be super cool! See what George thinks...🙂

Thank you! :)

Hell yeah, that's awesome! If you get them slabbed, try to remember to let me know how they came out!

HOLY. SHIT. That story made me feel sick. That's awful...I'm so sorry.

@@SwarmofComics Lesson learnt my end. Any bag that has the strip used i now cut off.

@@dinxsy8069 I know Bronzeville Comics guy, Jim, uses one of those letter openers where the little point slips under the edge of the flap, and you just zip it across to cut it open. Lessons learned indeed :(

Yeah, I was totally surprised by that GI Joe being worth that! Such a great way to display and preserve the memories, and they were both awesome people when I got the signatures.

Thank youuuuuu! Sorry my reply was so late :P

I live that book so much! I need to find more issues now!

I'm glad someone wanted it!!

Thanks Bronze-Age Bill! I love having you on the show!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I finally started collecting golden age stuff. I wish I started 30 years ago, I'd be less broke! :D

🤣🤣🤣🤣
