When I heard about the store, I checked for a website. My first impression was that back in the late 90s the owner thought "we should have one of these new-fangled websites", and one of his employees said, "my nephew Jimmy knows how to make websites", and here we are, still using Jimmy's website from the late 90s. And yeah, their prices are straight delusional.

I visited their cite for the first time. I have no web design experience but even I thought it was a complete hot mess

Thanks for doing this one. It gave me anxiety and just watching you do it made me a little ill LOL! The shocking thing is, they still make money somehow!! I always laugh at their 50%, 60%, 90% off!! No matter what; their "Discounted" prices is, the cost will still be higher than normal stores prices every single time. I feel so bad for the people that shop there. You would think that Chuck (the owner) would realize by now; that he could have a kid fix his website; and actually start charging normal prices and he could Slay all the competition with his huge warehouse of comics they have. I will pray that you will never have to go to that website again for the rest of your life! LOL

Back issues aren’t their primary business. They make all their money on subscription pre orders. For that, they are awesome

I recently became interested in comic book art. I ordered 30 comics on the theme of heroines from mycomicbookshop Locally I bought 2 comics for $5 at Five Below, I got a Harley Quinn and a joker comic. At Unique Thrift I got a Guardians of the Galaxy, (Emperor Quinn) and Lumberjanes. You deserve more viewers.

I will be interested in learning what Midtown Comics does about the damage.

I've never seen someone that enjoys being disappointed as much as you do.

15:18 It gives you the grade. That Spidey 5 was graded a Good 2.0

Congrats on hitting 50 subs! Dang, you have the worst luck with shipped books it seems. You inspect your books really well though.... you need to apply to work at CGC! 😉

Lookit all that wall real estate behind you! Looks like a good space to hang some books?

After 12 years their absurd new shipping rates is why I stopped using them

I bought the Heroines Value Pack Grab Bag - Here are pictures of the covers of six I received. artwrinkles.blogspot.com/2024/10/comics.html Thank you for your thorough coverage of MCS

MCS is my go to place to buy comics. Been a shopper since 2004.

I can't tell who signed it either LOL! Great purchases on those books. I love the New 52 time frame of books, a lot of great stories. I also just got the "hush" run recently, but haven't read them yet. I like the way you examine each book; will admit though, I don't (maybe I should). I know I got a recent book from MyComicsShop though, and it was so perfect that I cannot find anything wrong with it (of course it's a modern comic as well). I always look for the best prices as well, but I mostly have had a great experience with MCS since I started using them around 2008.

You had me at the *Michigan Hat!* LOL Go Blue! First time seeing your channel recommended to me on my YT homepage, but glad it did. I wish you had more comments though; I know as a smaller channel myself, it is kind of is a downer when you go through all the effort of making/editing/releasing a video and no one makes any comments. So glad to be the first for this video! 😁 Curious, are you closely looking at all your comic purchases to grade them for selling? Or, are you doing a review of the comic book store graders you bought the books from? I have been getting rid of most of my collection, and since my trading and selling books are done, the rest I am sending out for Free (see "Haul yeah comics" recent video for something I sent out for free). I would happily send you a few random books, for free, if you would like. If you happen to have the issues I send, you could feel free to pass them forward to someone else if you wish. If your interested, just let me know. You can also email me if you wish. My contact info is located in my "About tab" on my channel. I love to support other small channels, so happy to be *Your New Subscriber!* Number #40 is a good round number, but I hope you hit 50 and higher soon.😀 Looking forward to your next video, until then, stay safe out on that big peninsula, but stay Savage! ~ Son of Crom!

Man oh man, never thought I'd be excited for an iron...No wait, it's even worse...I never thought I'd be excited for SOMEONE ELSE getting an iron. 😆

Those OG GR Books look to be in Great Shape. Especially for 50-Year-old Books made of Newspaper stock and held together by staples.

Do you know the definition of insanity, bro?

lol do you like being disappointed or something? Stop giving these people your money. Have you tried whatnot? There's a few good sellers on there that give honest grades and show the book before they auction it. Lots of deals to be had too. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't.

I caught this Video 9 days later,and enjoyed your content about your own personal Collection of comics and actual evaluations of condition as well and actually looking forwards to actually seeing more from you and hopefully Many other various will come to actually discover you through Social Media throughout the entire Comic Commuinity itself as well. Thanks Again,Subscribed.

When I was a Kid back in the 70's the trick was to always grab the books from the center of the stack on the rack and pick through them. The first few books from the front and back of the stacks were always mangled. Crushed corners, torn pages, folded and creased pages, curling pages, all kinds of dents, and more. You would be lucky to find three good ones out of a stack for any given title.

X-Factor is a title I do collect. It just hasn't been a priority in some time as I've focused more on my main series. But it's a great title to fill in when I find them cheap. Nice haul. Never ordered from Newkadia. Seen their ads plenty of times though, of course.

I have a full run of the first series. It took me a long time to find the second to last issue.

Yeah I finished off Vol 1 a bit back. Still happy I got them all.

I bought x-factor off the shelves in the 80's and was in collection v1. Stopped collecting from 1992 to 2015, and one of the first full runs i rebought was x-factor around 2016 for around £100. Was always a great read along with the other mutant books, uncanny and new mutants. Greetings from Scotland :)

Og x factor for sure any thing pass Petter David no.i got the #1 skottie Young var.

Newkadia are extremely hit and miss on quality - ordered plenty over the years all the way here to the UK - sometimes have great sales discounts, but I'm very hesitant these days.

Hey Brother... I have the first 70 Xfactor books... But i cant find the annuals ( may have given them to kids)____ im not great @ all that key stuff, but i do have issue 5,6, 24 set aside

So you're buying comics online to speculate and make money. Get off your butt, go to the stores, and but books in person. I hate to even feed your algo, but this is lazy, sneaky comic buying to try to make money.

I bought a full run off eBay 7 or 8 years ago for under $100. I always wanted to read this series and honestly the first half didn't meet my expectations. Once the new team starts in #71 I quickly fell in love and that has since gone on to be one of my favorite teams and series. Even all the way up to and through the Mutant X series.

I've been watching a few X-Factor lots

I love the original run. Was contemplating repurchasing them. Or see if there's a trade available. Was a solid book for a good chunk of its run.

Dude just review the comic book store geez

Wow, this is a bad order! Did you get to return any of the bad books?

Wow, I'm surprised at NewKadia's shipping method in a flimsy envelope. That would definitely dissuade people from ordering from them.

I placed an order at NewKadia and they gave me the wrong comic so I e-mailed them and they told me that they would give a gift card in the amount of the comic price to make it up to me. They didn't tell me that there were stipulations on the card such as I have to order a certain amount on the price of the order and that the gift card expires. So when I ordered with the gift card, they told me that they were cancelling the order and not going to send me the comics. I was pissed and its as if they didn't give me anything at all. What a headache.

lol I've ordered from them 3 times over the years and ended up returning half of the books because they were overgraded by at least 2 whole grades. One book was called a vf+ and it had a detached centerfold. And then I saw the same book relisted on their site a month later with the same grade even though I put a sticky note on the bag that the centerfold was detached. I can't imagine how many returns they must process. That's probably why they run so many sales. terrible company

If this keeps happening…look in the mirror, and quit buying online.

4 bucks a pop for those Greem Lanterns, good deal.

I've only ordered from them once: a black panther #3(1st tosin) right after it released. Luckily, it managed to reach me in nm condition(packaged securely enough if i remember correctly. Ended up grading a 9.8 from cgc.

The absolute WORST grading and shipping from an online retailer. I ordered from them last week for the first time in almost a year because my last order was so bad. And this new order was just as terrible

Good video, thank you for sharing. I looked at their site in the past and after a few minutes gave up and decided to go back to mycomicshop lol

They have some of the worst grading and worst shipping I've ever experienced and I buy a lot of books online. If the book you bought isn't a full grade below what they say it is it will be by the time it gets to you because of their terrible packaging. That cardboard mailer you showed does absolutely nothing to protect the corners if there's any decent impact to the edges of the box, which happens all the time. Truly awful.

Nice haul there, but yeah, the grading seems a bit off on some of them. The one that would bother me the most is the Dark Water one and how it's cut in particular. It's nice to see the book though. I tend to agree with what you say about nostalgia and the return of things that we may have been into. I love the old stuff (Toys, comics, TV, movies, etc) and nothing can replace them, but I don't like when things get redone (mainly replacing and changing characters and such). It can be a hard call, but I think it would be nice just to go back and revisit the originals, just the way they were. And as far as spinoffs and multiple series pertaining to one character, or group. You just can't keep up, can't afford to. I feel that it takes away from the uniqueness, the specialness of the original series. I can think of an example where I actually appreciated it though. When I got into comics in the early 80's, Amazing Spider-Man was already out with hundreds and I could never afford the earliest issues. So I collected Peter Parker and got bundles of them for Birthdays and such, still having to get many back issues... but then came Web of Spider-Man #1! I was thrilled to buy a #1 issue of a Spider-Man series, but then McFarlane's Spider-man (which was very cool and I did collect), then Spider-man 2099, etc. It's just a bit much! This day there are countless Spider "such and such" comics and I'm just not going there. ~Eric

Great video, and a fair assessment of Newkadia. I think I've ordered from them 7 or 8 times getting over 20 books each time and didn't like their grading on 2 or 3 books. They're great for me but I have a different criteria than a lot of people. I'm in Canada, so the shipping is my first concern. Theirs is good but not great, you really have to spend over 100 bucks to make the shipping worth it. But a lot of online shops are way more for shipping or don't even ship to Canada. Secondly important for me is selection, I only want 80's and 90's back issues and they've got a good selection! Overall I like their shop and I'm generally happy with our transactions. :]

always thought Swamp Thing seemed cool but aside from of The Anatomy Lesson i haven't read much. would've liked to have heard more about the books like, who wrote and drew them or what they're about. i really enjoyed that show that got canceled, but again i don't know a lot about the character or how true to the comics it was.

Dang. That 1 book looks to be a 5.0 at best. But personally with those first 3, I would weigh the light crease higher damage than the spine stress. But still probably all 3 in the VF range. I know it probably does not need to be said, but be careful with pressing, at times it can impact a professional grade and high end graders can always tell when a book has been pressed even when done properly.
