@@nickm138 that fellow gets praise and then the x-men #1 worshippers and key-hunting snobs make jokes and put him down as a pinup guy, they miss or don't embrace the art collection angle I guess. But let me say it here and now as to why that guy deserves this run on his books and MORE - his art, to me, parallels the art I see in the original snow white and superman cartoons, and yes he took forever to get his work out becuase he wanted it perfect. Heck to prove it - the fellow's style was invested by DISNEY in giving him the Rocketeer movie. The Rocketeer seems draw some inspiration from Planet Comics, and to that we see he brought back the admiration of his and the true masters from the Golden Era Comics - those were all the true masters. Dave, Frank Thorne, Art Adams, pushed it forward and others did too - but how many late 70's early 80's artists modern and past, drew a character in a comic book and story that got picked up into a Disney Movie? Sure the past 15 years many get optioned but after the Toby Spiderman's it became more commonplace to RESPECT comics as what they are - movies as True Storyboards (which Dave also did some for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, a few pages and work for Star Wars - pretty illustrious) Dave Stevens deserves to be more than a pinup flash because of his timeless talent and perfect illustration capturing the real and the illustration mixed which makes all of our eyes lock in and try to see if what we are looking at is/was real. A true artist whose work respects the Golden Age and the Female Hero. RIP.
@@pop-comics So, that picture of Mike is from New York Comic Book Marketplace NYCBM 2012 when Mike didn’t have the rights to Big Apple Comic Con name. It was my first convention. I remember because I met Stan there and my mom spent the whole show talking with Henry Winkler lol. I recognized it immediately because I remember Mike running around the convention in that outfit.
I swear i only have a comic book collection because i aquire them. There was a comic book store that was going to get demoed, but the basement was literal mounds of comics and horse racing magazines, among other magazines for pets and whatnot- but then i would find sealed copies of DND guides and comics with number limited editions- spent a bit of change just to keep that aquired collection properly backed/stored. But im a collector, its only right i maintain what i found
Sounds like an amazing find, and good for you to keep the items from being destroyed. Sometimes as a collector you buy amazing deals, sell what you dont need and help pay for the things you do keep.
OMG -- Good for you for not getting overwhelmed. I was a bit overwhelmed watching it. But it was very interesting to see all the different stuff he had. Thank you for streaming it!!!
Yeah it was crazy but I tried to stay focused looking for specific things I needed for my shop. That being said I still bought too much I wanted but those items were great deals.
@@pop-comics And I hear what you are saying about the packets of cards. People want the experience of opening them. I buy 20 of those baseball card packs for my nephew so he can open them with his Dad. It's a Dad-Son bonding kind of thing. I get it.
Buy it all. The only way to deal with collection like that. You keep saying I don't know where to start. That's why you take it all, take your time and do it right
He had a buy it all price but way out of my budget, so second what I thought I could sell the fastest so I can keep going back until I do buy it all lol
Mike is cool as always and it's awesome to see how many comics he has in his basement. Billy seems like an awesome dude to dig with as well. Very chill and helpful at the same time. Awesome video, I hope to find myself in this situation someday.
It was a super fun pick, I really do enjoy hanging out with Billy. And I find wheeling and dealing with Mike very fun and we always end at a price I am happy with.
The Superman thing your buddy found in the yellow ripped envelope around 42 mins is a press kit dc sent out when Superman died. It was like a mock daily planet detailing the death of Superman.
I got scared too, missed it at the time and even when editing but everything in the box was fine. It was just one of the corrugated plastic boxes that retain water in the holes. I through out the box as soon as I figured it out. You can see it in the second haul video.
I realized a long time ago that there are millions of comic books in basements and attics across America that will NEVER end up in any collections. Think about comic shops’ dollar bins with worthless 80s-2000s comics that nobody wants. Boxes and boxes of mixed stuff, with six decades worth of every conceivable genre in a single long box!
Yeah every year a portion of any print run is lost to fire, rain, thrown out etc. So they dwindle. Finding those hidden collections and getting them into collectors hands is something I find important so comics can still exist for future generations to enjoy.
Just catching up on this now and I can’t believe you found a SEALED Comic Art Magazine! This place is a goldmine. Wish I lived in New York, I’d be asking to tag along with you all the time
I was not super familiar with it, but it was something about it rung my cool bell so decided to grab it. Most time I rather grab something and be wrong then not grab something and be wrong lol If you ever visit NYC id love to take you comic hunting.
Man…when I tell you I was riveted to this one, I mean it. That was so good. So much interesting crap there. What a haul you pulled out and it looked like maybe you got through 1/3rd of that space?
Yeah honestly I think it is one of my most fun videos I have done. And yes there is a ton more to dig which I will in the future, just got to sell some of this to help pay for it then I will be back. He already wants me to dig his garage this week which I might.
Sean, I have a question. I live in Queens and drove to your Brooklyn shop recently. I Found some nice silver-age Aqua man, but for the most part, I did not see the kinds of higher-grade comics you cover in your channel videos. Do you have a different distribution channel or just sell at shows?
A lot of stuff I pick up is for my PC so its not all for sale. I also do not put out a ton of the most expensive stuff because it does not sell very well at the shop and I dont like leaving expensive stuff around for folks to take for free. What are you looking for? I can probably sort some out for the shop.
@@pop-comics That must be a warehouse of a PC collection :). Anyway, I am a 30-plus-year collector in Queens looking to share the hobby. I was at the Queens Comic Party and saw Billy in one of your videos. One day, I would like to set up a booth and sell stuff to be social. I have been trying to build an Aqua Man Silver Age run lately. You have quite an impressive channel. My typical price point is $25 to $75 per book for mid to high grade. Let me know when you're out in Queens and would like to talk shop.
All of this was from buying collections over the years. Collections come in many forms, people who just enjoyed books to people who bag board organize etc. Its always a wide range.
There needs to be an app where you can just take a photo of a comic and it can tell you the value. Im not sure id know the value of even half of these books if i saw them in person
There is several apps that do that, but it takes 5-10 seconds that means a minute per 6-12 comics, an hour to look up a couple of long boxes. Too slow for quick picking.
There comes a time when the hunter becomes the hunted. As much as I like and enjoy these videos they at times have the opposite effect. Edit: I think that it's how unorganized sometimes these massive collections become or maybe someone else buying my lifetime hobbies for a fraction
He is a lifelong vendor and not so much a collector so for him this is collection overstock. AKA stuff that has accumulated over the years buying and selling. He buys so much stuff it overflows like crazy but he also sells so much stuff.
@@pop-comics I am so jealous of you in this video. So much stuff I remember buying when it came out. I bought a box of those Dinosaurs Attack cards when they came out.
I tried to fast forward through the video and could not find them lol Do you remember the approximate timestamp? I want to see where they were so I can try to get them next time.
@@pop-comics I had to search for it. Around the 20 minute mark, you looked in a box that said HOT FLIPS with a bunch of European entertainment magazines in it. There was a digest sized Spider-girl on top of a thick stack of the Video Watchdog magazines.
no, and that one was a remainder copy so the title was cut. But I did end up finding the issue I needed at Terrificon for $10, I just did not get the footage.
I think I bought the nicer box not the coverless and low grade box. Honestly it was such a whirlwind I dont even know what I ended up with haha I need to do a haul video.
I did a mystery Bag show on whatnot with 30 bags. Total of $7,300 in ratio books mostly marvel. Starting bids at $75 and got no bids for 90 minutes. I mean someone could have gotten all of it for $2,200. ANY ADVICE ON WHEN AND HOW to do these shows.
Its hard to start because people do not know they can trust you or what is in the bag etc. Also starting high makes people feel like its not a deal even if it was a deal etc. Now I know starting at $1 is very risky and scary as well. Where the packs ones you are chasing winners or you had the value pretty easily distributed? If the values were pretty distributed to $200-300 a pack I might try a show where you just show the pile of books and start at $75 you might get bids that way. Or try showing 1 book the rest mystery, and then maybe flipping a book each bid or something like that. Mystery packs are hard, I know I never buy them unless I really trust the seller and know what they have in their packs.
Thank you, that's good advice. The packs were loaded with 1:50s and 1:100s. I will consider running as lots showing a book and saying how many books are in the lot. I am a busy Architect and have collected for decades. I enjoy your videos. Thabks Again Robin - Nerdbarlord on whatnot
His prices are usually reasonable, he wanted a good amount for the whole basement which I could not afford in one go, but I will try to buy multiple times and work my best to buy out the basement.
CONFIRMED: Marvel did 2 Life of Jesus comics. The Easter story (1992) and The Christmas Story 91993) This info is for Jason who seems to be chasing Biblical comics (per end of your latest video!)....Of course they have Newsstand variants!!)
How do you find a basement full of treasures likes this, didn’t MHC buy this up already and hogs it. I can walk al days around this it like museum. The person was a comic store owner.
That you did. Mike said one of the boxes had water coming out of it but we did not find it that day nor did I see it when editing lol Someone pointed it out and I thought of ^$*&. But none of the magazines got wet, it was just one of those plastic boxes that had retained water at some point. I thought the box out as soon as I figured it out.
Its my friend Jason, he recently moved out of NYC. He was helping me make content at conventions the last couple of years so to keep in touch I started adding mini bonus hauls at the end of every video. Think of it as free comic content.
I can't believe you turned down copies of. ILLUSTRATION magazine!😮 Some of them are Sold Out from the publisher and the series is a relatively inexpensive look (on quality paper) into the history of pre 21st century illustration.
I’m sure this was over whelming but please next time show a little bit more care. The box with the target bag. You thru that target bag around several times instead of putting it back. You may not want the comics left behind but show some respect to the things others cherish and may buy next time.
Its Mike Carbo, he is the creator of the Big Apple Con in NYC, and has been selling comics since the 1970s. He is trying to clear out his basement of stuff to make room for new collections.
This is what heaven looks like to me, endless boxes of cool stuff 😁👍
Haha so true, love being able to dig through endless piles of boxes.
Man Sean what a great video so much stuff in that basement so much Nostalgia so much history so cool to rummage through all that thanks for sharing
It was fun to dig through the basement, definitely will be back to dig more.
Loving the steam here. I love going through piles like there and finding gold.
Yeah digging and hunting is always so much fun for me.
I remember when Big Lots had the Alf and Dinosaurs Attack card for $1 a box. I bought several cases of each and sold them over the years.
Oh wow that would be awesome, both cards sell so well for me these days. Super nostalgic fun.
Nice find! When you go back pick up the older Hulk and Thor books. I saw you pass a DC G.I. Combat get next time. 60s DC war comics are gold buddy!
I left the Thor and Hulk book there, figured those would sell well for the shop. I did end up buying the DC war books for my pc.

Blew my mind when you started digging into a random stack and you pulled out all of those old HC MARVEL MASTERWORKS incl. FF 1-10!!
Gee you didn’t even make a dent in the basement 😂. You’ll be going back there for years.
Pretty much lol
this was mind blowing! The box of D&D gary gygax original books is worth big money, but wow so many great finds! super jealous over here
Yeah the D&D stuff sold really quickly for me.
I'm stressed just watching you go through this. I would have lost my noodle deciding what to get. Can't wait for the haul videos 😍

Its hard to start because people do not know they can trust you or what is in the bag etc. Also starting high makes people feel like its not a deal even if it was a deal etc. Now I know starting at $1 is very risky and scary as well. Where the packs ones you are chasing winners or you had the value pretty easily distributed? If the values were pretty distributed to $200-300 a pack I might try a show where you just show the pile of books and start at $75 you might get bids that way.

That you did. Mike said one of the boxes had water coming out of it but we did not find it that day nor did I see it when editing lol Someone pointed it out and I thought of ^$*&. But none of the magazines got wet, it was just one of those plastic boxes that had retained water at some point. I thought the box out as soon as I figured it out.
@@pop-comics That is wild yeah seemed like condensed water or some deal. All good man o7 thanks for reply.
Next time Mike's gotta find you a chair...!!
He found 6 for Billy!
@@pop-comics Billy needs to spring a for a damn air mattress...!!
Aw Sh*t, Mets stuff ... the Uinverse is trying get you to... Meet The Mets!! BWAHAHA!!
I am not a Mets fan but Billy loves them so it was cool to find him some stuff.
I would spend so much unnecessary money in that place because that has so much cool stuff. Is this a private collector trying to sell his collection?
A long time vendor trying to clean out some of his overflow from over the years.
Any for sale ?
Eventually a lot will be for sale in the shop. I have to film a haul video or two first then figure out what I need and what will be for sale
Hi, Watching your video later after work. I would loved to seen the Movie TV Memorabilia.
I will do a haul video sometime this week, I want to film it all before I start sorting it out for sale.
I hope to see a rat just jump out and scare the beejezuzz out of ya in one of your basement hunting videos.
I get the rats on my walking channel, at least 10 a walk haha
Finally finished this, but the last 30 seconds of the video some other random guy cuts in talking about the comics he picked up…? Totally unrelated.
Its my friend Jason, he recently moved out of NYC. He was helping me make content at conventions the last couple of years so to keep in touch I started adding mini bonus hauls at the end of every video. Think of it as free comic content.

I can't believe you turned down copies of. ILLUSTRATION magazine!😮 Some of them are Sold Out from the publisher and the series is a relatively inexpensive look (on quality paper) into the history of pre 21st century illustration.
I just have had bad luck selling them before, I need pop culture related things not art related things.
@@pop-comics I live in both worlds!😁🩷
Hurry
27:13
What did you see at that minute?
How does he know where ANYTHING IS?
He probably has a decent memory like I do.
Dude... PLEASE don't spin the camera like that... I JUST ATE!!
LoL Gorilla Style, no control of the camera that I did not know I hit with a box lol
500 dollars for no bag or boards?
Sometimes you got to bag and board yourself.
Where is the vintage toys
Only found a few but was digging looking for what I could find.
I’m sure this was over whelming but please next time show a little bit more care. The box with the target bag. You thru that target bag around several times instead of putting it back. You may not want the comics left behind but show some respect to the things others cherish and may buy next time.
Target bag was full of graphic novels, nothing to worry about there.
Jason wasn't there a Jesus one?
Where is this. I will buy open sports cards
Question is how much would you pay for a random pile of 1000 cards?
What is the story on who and why he is selling everything off ? How were prices determined? Looks like so much fun 🎉
Its Mike Carbo, he is the creator of the Big Apple Con in NYC, and has been selling comics since the 1970s. He is trying to clear out his basement of stuff to make room for new collections.
