@sade281 Definitely some dealers are way overpriced. There are others that are very fair and almost all are willing to come down in price a little. IG has some great sellers as well, but a few that are way overpriced. Thanks for watching.

From what I've seen recently, most dealers have started reducing prices but not to fair market value. They are still high. That being said, there is a small percentage of dealers that I've seen with very fair prices, and they seem to be moving way more books than the rest. I think we'll continue to see big keys from the Silver Age and Bronze age continue to fall (albeit slowly), and I agree with your sentiment that this is a good thing for collectors. Thanks for watching.

Very cool that you made the video. Friday was great for my taste. I like the extra elbow room. Lol. Sunday was nice as well. Glad you got some good deals. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. More to come!

@ great content in your video 🤩

Thanks. Harley has an unbelievable selection. I could spend the entire weekend at his booth. Appreciate the comment.

I can't remember if I bought anything from them. I'll have to go back and take a look. Thanks for watching.

It'll be back again in May. Hope you can make it. Thanks for watching.

Yikes. I suspected as much. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, if you can make the trip, it's definitely worth it. Thanks for watching.

No shop. I only sell online (ebay and Instagram). My website will possibly have a marketplace in 2025 (fingers crossed). Thanks for watching.

Most Golden Age books you'll find at any show in the world (except maybe SDCC and NYCC). Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

It was a great time.

@mikekennedy9777 Lol. Thanks Mike. The Bronze Age stuff has become pricy, but still nothing compared to pre code. I think you still have a chance here!

@lovelyannalove Thank you. Appreciate the comment...especially from the Queen of PCH!!! 😉

Great book to stack. Thanks for watching.

I couldn't agree more. That cover is amazing...and Tom Sutton is definitely under rated.

I think I said $2500 near the end of the video. Thanks for watching.

@rhmidwestcomics lol oh ok, I was like how in the hell did he get 0.03 a book. Not a bad group of comics so far for only going through 50%

@naclteeballz8569 Yeah, not a jackpot by any means, but these are probably the most common types of collections that become available. Thanks for all the comments.

@@briandriver7872 Thank you. Next week...Pre Code Horror! Appreciate you watching.

Great choices! And thanks for watching.

@brychology Two great choices for sure. I'm a fan of HOS 88, but I had to look up HOM 214 to remember what it was. Definitely a nice cover with the faces on the fingers. Also, I appreciate your thoughts on 227. That choice was really made for the cover art and not the stories, but I definitely see your point. Thanks for the comments. I enjoy these discussions.

@michaeltan4204 I think you're probably right. I thought long and hard about it, but I'm really not a fan of the cover art at all. I meant to include it in the collage at the end but completely forgot. Worst case, I can see myself adding it as an honorable mention next year. Thanks for the comment.

@@pbales8951 I think you make a good point. Dead of Night 1 is a nice cover and is definitely growing on me. Marvel horror definitely doesn't get enough love these days, but maybe that will change in the coming year. Thanks for commenting.

John Romita's Dead of Night #9 is also a banger!

@thecomickeeper5127 I agree there is very little content out there for stories and interior art. Maybe I can try to do something like that in the future. Next week I'll post my pre code horror Top 10. Appreciate your comments.

@@rhmidwestcomics awesome. No worries. Great work on the videos!

@TimTalksToys I did see alot of Star Wars vintage, selaed, graded, etc. A couple graded TFs, but it paled in comparison to the graded and vintage comics you see at a comic show. Even at this massive toy show, there were more graded comics than toys. I was surprised by that, but maybe the toy hobby just hasn't grown with grading like comics have.

@@rhmidwestcomics I think that vintage toys just have a lot more collectors than investors. There’s always exceptions but complete in box, and loose complete is far more popular than new in box or graded in the vintage toy world.

@CVMGAM Definitely worth going at least once. I would have loved to spend time there without filming. I would have enjoyed it much more.

@@rhmidwestcomics I used to live in Michigan, so it was fun reading the highway markers while you were driving out there.

@@CVMGAM Always fun counting down to zero.

@@rhmidwestcomics Yes, good old Ford Rd

The books are really well protected with bags and boards, but I agree it looks like I'm handling the books a little rambunctiously because I'm going through them so quickly. I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for the comments.

@JuanTorres-zp2ij Appreciate the comment. I think I said how much I paid for the TF, but you're right...I didn't mention the comics. TOD 2 through 9 was $175. I'll have to start writing a script to remind me to say the price. Thanks for watching.

Your the best.

@eggplantcomics8336 Yeah, I should have given more detail. There was a ton of modern stuff that was just used, no packaging, missing pieces etc. All of the vintage stuff I saw was as expected, but I also expected to see more vintage and more high end vintage, in packaging, etc. Overall, still a fun show. Appreciate the comment.

@timwatson-re1fx Hi. That was a long time ago. Not sure what I paid. I usually value a large collection based on the key issues. I use GPA and ebay sold prices. For smaller keys, I offer around 60% of fair market value (FMV). For bigger keys, I go up to 85%...but really depends on the book. Hope this helps.

@tonytothe8544 Thanks. It should be a great sale. Previews coming soon.

Thank you, Devil Dog!

We are definitely looking forward to the sale as well. Stay tuned for more previews. Thanks for watching!

Yep. Many did for sure.

You're probably in good shape if you're holding. But, then again, hard to predict. Superhero burnout is a real thing, but I doubt it will last.

@woodyforest2100 Yes, reader copies have become extremely affordable. Glad you've been able to get back into it.

Definitely true in many cases these days. There are efforts ongoing to make more comic centric cons. Hope to see more of that.

@Songs-n4u I think you make a good point. Margins are slim on comics these days. Hopefully these videos help people make some decisions on whether or not the time is right to buy something for their personal collection. Thanks for the comments.

@@rhmidwestcomics I just wish more collectors existed, and fewer to no speculators. This used to be a hobby for readers/fans/people trying to have fun, not a part of their 401(k) or whatever.

@RobertMatteis-pe7vh Thanks for the comments. I saw that ASM 14 8.0 ebay sale for 9900. Definitely a head scratcher because another 8.0 sold four days later for 5200. Regardless, ASM 14 is still a great key issue. It's actually my favorite ASM book. And yes, PCH is still extremely hot. Wonder if it will ever cool off. Thanks for watching.

@kevinkelly4436 Yes, definitely becoming more affordable. Probably going to keep going down for awhile.

@CollectingLlama You want comics to go to zero??? When I was kid with a weekly allowance, I was buying books off the newsstand, not huge keys from decades ago. Your scenario isn't logical. There are many older collectors that aren't flippers or dealers and will eventually want to sell their collections. Obviously we all would like people who've been collecting their entire lives to get the most money possible for retirement. Don't you want that for them?

@@josephbarbera9220 That's a nice grade. I would keep it as well.

@davidsamuelson2089 The comparison is important to realize how ridiculous the prices were during the comic boom. Showing the prices prior, during, and after the boom gives good perspective...especially for people that may be newer to the hobby. Thanks for watching.

@@rocketfighter8 Agreed.

Sorry you find it boring. Did you at least like the newest edition to the video?

@@rhmidwestcomics the video itself isn’t boring, it has some solid insights and I appreciate the research. My qualm is with the focus on these same books from multiple channels. Some content creators have even gone so far as to try and create an “index” using these books. Ha!! I get it, they are heavily traded and sold, so I understand the logic but a fresh crop of books or a focus on overlooked/rare books is highly needed to diversify people’s interest and potentially turn them on to something new, thus driving collectors to new pockets of collecting and generating excitement.

Bingo!!!! All I see is the same 💩 over and over and over. Everything is a investment and then when prices are down people panic and sell sell sell.. All sheep
