Quick way to tell 1st printing on MGN4 is the first print only has the $4.95 price on the top. All Later printings have the Canadian price next to the US price
The New Mutants graphic novel is a unique book. It is the ONLY 1980's Marvel comic where there is a Canadian price variant (with $5.95 cover price) but no UPC bar code. All other CPV books have the newsstand bar code. And yes, the $5.95 cover is the FIRST PRINT in Canada.
Hunting in a pack now Mike 😂 Always entertaining & informative. Nice to see your new addition Showcase #60 ‘The Spectre’, a comic I have & bought new in ‘66. Keep posting.
That was a great day. You weren’t lying when you said this town was loaded with comics. I don’t think you could leave without a few books. Thanks to you l left with a few Michael Mayhew covers on She-Hulk. Almost picked up the Micronauts 1. I always loved that book because Michael Golden drew it. That was fun and we will have to do it again Mike!
Beautiful ice sculptures; my favourite is the frozen fireplace and best humour award goes to Lettuce Rejoice. The sixth print of the New Mutants graphic novel is the most valuable, with its Adam Hughes cover. Avengers #185 is also significant because it's packed with Marvel's best from the late Bronze Age: Mark Gruenwald, Steven Grant and David Michelinie all contribute to the story, John Byrne and Dan Green do the art and scripter Roger Slifer pitches in with the colours. An amazing roll call of talent. Congratulations on buying the slabbed Showcase, my book of choice out of all your purchases. It will definitely hold its value and likely appreciate over the years, which is great if you ever want to sell it to get a higher-graded copy. As a follow-on you could look at buying The Spectre's 1967 series, which only went for ten issues but features Neal Adams and Bernie Wrightson among its artists.
Spider woman and oversized new mutants were my comic book favorites! But truth be told, I need info on that Short Box t-shirt your sister gave you…I know soooo many people that will go nuts over that! Loving the content, keep up the great effort!!
Hands down the Showcase Spectre book! A great deal and pretty tough in high grade. It's always great when you're able to find a book you really want - even better when you get it at a good price!
Great pick ups and stories! I grabbed an oversized Excalibur Special Edition by Claremount and Davis because of your channel recently. I've always wanted to read that run so this was a great way to check it out!
Thanks for the shout out, and taking the time to chat with us. Your a class act. We love your content. We hope to run into you again on the hunt again. Ps picked up a Kamandi 1 in great shape for a great price.
Jeff sighting in the wild! Congrats on the great pick-ups, you did really well on that Flash book so good for you! That Spectre book is absolutely gorgeous…for someone who doesn’t do a lot of slabs you sure do have some quality ones in your collection lol! Thanks for another great video, Mike!
Hey Mike, great books! I'm looking for a New Mutants GN as well. One small correction, if I may, All the New Mutants made their FA in the GN with the exception of Karma. Her first appearance was in Marvel Team-up #100. I didn't realize that Siryn's FA was in a Spider-Woman book - neat!
My favorite was the new X-Men. I like the bigger books and not everybody kept them. So which means you can find a nice one it shows better than anybody else's LOL or higher grade and more money if that's what you do. I have some I want to keep and some selling to keep the ones I have and get others LOL
Regarding those polybags, when they came out, I thought it was a waste to not be able to read the comic just to preserve its value. So what I did was take an X-Acto knife and carefully cut off the bottom or top seal, taking care to cut as little as possible, remove the comic and whatever premium insert it had (card, poster, armband, etc), and put the premium and the poly bag on the reverse side of the comic bag and board. So now, I have all the parts, and none of the negatives of keeping it in the bag (minus the drop in value). Also, I heard that the plastic in those poly bags was really cheap and high in acid content, so they turn the comic paper yellow really quick. I understand wanting to keep them as close to manufacturing quality as possible, but when the packaging is helping to deteriorate the product, it's just silly to do so.
I would and have considered it. It would give it to ComicSpa to do the work assuming there are enough pressable defects to make a difference, and I'm not sure there is.
Definitely the Showcase Spectre. I never was big into the character, but that is a gorgeous book. I saw a copy of it on the wall of my lcbs a day or so after I watched your video when you bought your first copy. If I had the money at the time, I probably would've picked it up after seeing it on LMC.
All great pick ups but the star is definitely Showcase 60. I just recently started reading John Ostrander's run on Spectre from the 90's. It's pretty awesome.
While standing in line to meet Chris Claremont several years back, the man in front of me presented the graphic novel of New Mutants to him to be signed. Mr Claremont looked aggravated and flipped thru the book and asked the man where he got it from. He had bought it at one of the vendor booths. When the man asked him if something was wrong, Claremont responded yeah something is wrong, I didnt get paid for this. I have always wondered if anything came of it, if he was mistaken, or what.
Another great video, LMC Mike! Appreciate the info on the Spiderwoman #37. I have a bunch of X-Men related comics and I forgot why I bought them! (back stories and all of that - I've had some of them for 40+ years). Your videos help so much because I then know what info to put on the new bag as I go through all of them. 😁 You are a wealth of knowledge, Mike. Appreciate you much.
Okay, that Scarlet Witch edit was hysterical! I literally did a spit take 😂 I’m stoked to see you pick up a nice copy of House of X 1! Hickman’s X-Men is what turned me on to the characters…I didn’t grow up reading them so only had a bit of knowledge from the animated shows and the movies. But I fell in love with the Krakoan age, which ended up basically turning me on to the rest of the X-Men series. I’ve managed to get a pretty decent start into 94-300 of Uncanny, and have a pretty good chunk of the 90’s series too. I pretty much entirely focus on X-Men comics when I’m hunting these days, and it’s all because I fell in love with the Hickman stories.
I have 94-201 still, but I sold my 202-282 back in the day. The nostalgic completest in me wants to rebuy those thanks to great channels like this one 😂😬😨
@@bghammock oh man, there’s so many great issues in the 200’s! That’s been my primary focus the last few weeks. First Gambit, Jubilee, Mr. Sinister, the first Marauders, first Wolverine and Sabretooth fight…that’s a really cool era to collect! I’d definitely be hunting those down in your shoes!
You have quickly became my go-to UA-cam channel for comic book content, look forward to more. Do you have any Sabertooth comics you have collected? Thanks-Ron
Thank you, that is very humbling! As for Sabretooth I do have a lot of books featuring him because of my love for the X-men. Most are the classic fights between him Wolverine but I also have the first issue of his 90s series somewhere. I would love his first appearance someday.
@@lunchmoneycomics Look forward to a review someday. I have the same 90’s #1, it’s not worth much but like you I love the Wolverine and Sabertooth storylines.
It's really hard to pick a favorite out of this batch, but I think I'm going to have to choose that issue of The Spectre. He's one of my favorite characters who hasn't been utilized to his full potential. Great haul, Mike!
Quality pick ups all around! A book you grabbed that's on my list (just haven't really looked hard for it yet) is Flash 225. Simple, cheap and a fantastic cover! I'll have to make an effort and finger through some back issues on my next LCS visit.
Hey Mike - Really enjoy your channel - probably because I have the same interest in X-men! I started collecting again (only on a casual basis) but love looking for comics in flea markets and other places as well. I meant to comment when you were looking for X-men 133. Had a copy. You mentioned in this video that you were collecting the Midnight Sons run. I was doing that about 6 months ago. I have a copy of a Morbius 1 (out of the bag) - its yours if you want it. Let me know and I can send you pictures. Look forward to the next video!
Thanks for the offer, but I’ve already picked up the last book I needed for the run. Thanks for thinking of me though! And X-men 133 is an awesome book!
I wonder if that Micronauts #1 was mine previously? Lol. I sold #1-#64 to J&S a few months ago (along with the rest of my collections). Glad you made out well in Putnam!!
I believe that Lilith's 1st Full Appearance is in Ghost Rider #28 instead of Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance #1. I know they both came out in August 1992, but the #28 sells for alot more than GR #1. Let me know if you agree or if I'm wrong
Could you do a short video on that New Mutants graphic novel. You said it was from the early 80's, maybe you said 1982? I've never seen a comic book/graphic novel in that wide format. I've never seen a bag and board that wide. So the interior of the book is in color? The closest that I have seen to this is maybe the black and white Planet of the Apes magazines. I think they made a Conan book as well. Marvel had several books in that magazine format but they were in black and white. I've never seen a book like your New Mutants Graphic Novel. I think this format is worthy of a video. If I saw this book on Ebay I would have the same questions, "What is that?". I've never seen a graphic novel from that time period.
Interesting, yeah maybe I could do a video on it or I could pick up some of the other graphic novels and show them all off. They are pretty cool, and yes, most of them, if not all, are in color
I accidentally left an entire set of Midnight Sons on the table at a booth I was searching at during Northeast Comic Con. I can't believe it. I would have sent you that Morbius#1. As you saw, I had picked that book up a few weeks ago.
Those 1st print GN #4S are tough to come by i picked up a clean 5th print and a 1st print beater for like 50 bucks. CBCS has better graders hands down .
Great price for the Spectre. Many people would probably crack that case, clean and press and get it re-graded for CGC and it would probably be worth more than double what you paid. I might keep it as-is if I bought it.
@@lunchmoneycomics CGC gets better prices on average. The turnaround times at CBCS is atrocious. Customer service with CGC is much better. Until CBCS gets its act together, I'd recommend going with CGC. The exception is if you need signatures verified. Only CBCS does that.

so i totally understand wanting the new mutants book but why not wait for a first print? ive seen them for 20 or less recently at shows so im sure you could run into one. im not sure why any collector would want anything thats not a first print unless you are just going to read it. not hating on anyones way of collecting just trying to figure out how more modern youtube collectors think with the whole buying 2nd and 3rd print thing. great channel and i like that you always put the prices out there that you buy stuff at and the locations, it gets tiring seeing people keep everything a secret on youtube. great pick ups this time too especially with the graded showcase book, im not a graded guy either but since you have a reader copy i dont see a problem with buying a graded one to put on your wall.
I’m not sure you can make a judgment on all modern UA-camrs based on what I did, I bought it because I wanted it. I might very well read it, and I still plan to pick up a first print at some point too, I won’t mind having both. I just liked the price, liked the condition, liked supporting the store, and liked talking about it. Pretty much sums it up, I wouldn’t read into it too much.
@@lunchmoneycomics thats what i figured but i see it a lot so i figured i would ask you. like i said i wasnt hating on anyone im just kinda confused by some comic book youtubers like the slab guys.
Quick way to tell 1st printing on MGN4 is the first print only has the $4.95 price on the top. All Later printings have the Canadian price next to the US price
Great info, thanks!
As a shorter statured man I live by always remembering to check top shelves 😂😂 especially when comic book hunting
I love The Spectre slab and the Avengers comic
Great score on that Showcase book! Great deal...

It sure is!

That Showcase 60 is spectacular and you got it for a steal! I just picked up a CGC 6.5 copy for $200 and that was a great deal.
Thank you, and I agree!

Ah yes that’s a great book!
I’ve never noticed juggernaut on the cover of SW 37 😂
He’s sneaking around back there lol
Spider-Woman is my favorite pickup. I'm also hunting for 1st appearance of Xmen related characters. Didn't know that was her 1st appearance.
Thanks for the shout out, and taking the time to chat with us. Your a class act. We love your content. We hope to run into you again on the hunt again. Ps picked up a Kamandi 1 in great shape for a great price.

Thanks so much! And yeah, those slabs still seem to find their way into my collection lol
My graded Showcase 60 in a 6.0 cost $160. So you did very well.
They're all good, I can't pick which is the better pickup. You did great either way
Thanks, neither can I!
Love the Showcase Spectre book. Great video Mike. Thank you.
The only thing that matters is that you're collecting what you love.
I absolutely agree!
I like the spider woman. That's an awesome pickup. I just picked up a spider woman 1 today. Was excited to get that.
Always loved Spider Woman 1, I think that entire run is seriously underrated.
I'm glad you are giving DC some love, Mike. That is a real sharp looking copy of Showcase featuring The Spectre.
I think my MGN #4 is like 4 or 5th printing. It's been a long time since I've looked at it, now I have to check! LOL
Hey Mike, great books! I'm looking for a New Mutants GN as well. One small correction, if I may, All the New Mutants made their FA in the GN with the exception of Karma. Her first appearance was in Marvel Team-up #100. I didn't realize that Siryn's FA was in a Spider-Woman book - neat!

That Marvel Graphic novel 4 was a great pickup. The New Mutants series is an important piece to X-Men lore and often is underappreciated.
Thanks and I definitely agree it’s under appreciated!
Great pick- ups as usual, Mike! I'd have to pick the Spectre book as my fav of the bunch.
It looks like it's in an older CBCS slab. The new ones are beautiful and are very strong cases. I use CBCS a lot for grading my books.
Interesting, thanks for the info. Seriously considering breaking it out or resubmitting for a better case.
Would you consider cracking the slab and cleaning it up?
I would and have considered it. It would give it to ComicSpa to do the work assuming there are enough pressable defects to make a difference, and I'm not sure there is.
Love the channel,I'm looking to start flee marketing when the spring weather gets here
Definitely the Showcase Spectre. I never was big into the character, but that is a gorgeous book.

I believe that Lilith's 1st Full Appearance is in Ghost Rider #28 instead of Ghost Rider Spirits of Vengeance #1. I know they both came out in August 1992, but the #28 sells for alot more than GR #1. Let me know if you agree or if I'm wrong
So Lilith does show up in GR 28 but I believe she’s just a vision, so it’s more of a cameo. SoV 1 is a full in-person appearance so to speak.

Those 1st print GN #4S are tough to come by i picked up a clean 5th print and a 1st print beater for like 50 bucks. CBCS has better graders hands down .
Cbcs is cheaper, they will also do "signature series" without witnessing the autograph
Great price for the Spectre. Many people would probably crack that case, clean and press and get it re-graded for CGC and it would probably be worth more than double what you paid. I might keep it as-is if I bought it.
I definitely thought about it, but I also just enjoy it as is
Great find however Karma first appearance is marvel team up #100.

I also purchased some Bronze Age books to practice cleaning. Do you also press books?
Not yet, for now I rely on ComicSpa for that but it’s something I’d like to get into

@@lunchmoneycomics No worries. No one can remember all of this. Love your videos!
thats also the old CBCS case, the new one is much stronger and sturdier then its older cases and much better in my opinion then CGC, just FYI

The CBCS book is in the old CBCS case. The newer cases are much, much better.

so i totally understand wanting the new mutants book but why not wait for a first print? ive seen them for 20 or less recently at shows so im sure you could run into one. im not sure why any collector would want anything thats not a first print unless you are just going to read it. not hating on anyones way of collecting just trying to figure out how more modern youtube collectors think with the whole buying 2nd and 3rd print thing. great channel and i like that you always put the prices out there that you buy stuff at and the locations, it gets tiring seeing people keep everything a secret on youtube. great pick ups this time too especially with the graded showcase book, im not a graded guy either but since you have a reader copy i dont see a problem with buying a graded one to put on your wall.
I’m not sure you can make a judgment on all modern UA-camrs based on what I did, I bought it because I wanted it. I might very well read it, and I still plan to pick up a first print at some point too, I won’t mind having both. I just liked the price, liked the condition, liked supporting the store, and liked talking about it. Pretty much sums it up, I wouldn’t read into it too much.
@@lunchmoneycomics thats what i figured but i see it a lot so i figured i would ask you. like i said i wasnt hating on anyone im just kinda confused by some comic book youtubers like the slab guys.
I want to see x men colletion
