Killmonger Erik well here’s the thing, ok? If you were rich and could just buy and buy then go to cons and cherry pick good books, it would take ALL the fun out of it. I promise you. I have met some people who are so called rich collectors and they have to find obscure obscure books that nobody would ever have regardless of how much money they had because these books may or may not even still be in existence! Like some of the books that they were referring to I can’t even remember what they were because it’s these small niche books that you have to search worldwide for. Another thing is that these people are very picky, and they’re snobbish and it comes off very pretentious and they have a kind of high and mighty attitude but they are never having any fun at a convention when you see them. Like all the stuff that they have at conventions and they don’t have an interest in any of it. It’s like if they can’t have their specific thing they are looking for then the whole convention is a waste! They don’t even try to find anything new to get into they just stay pissed off that they couldn’t get their “rare thing” (that may or may not exist, remember) and they stay pissed and fuming. I like having things that I had to hustle for like my hulk 181 that I hustled hard and traded hard to acquire. I haven’t sold it and I only look at it every few years but it always brings a smile to my face because I felt like I earned it. I was told no by so many vendors that I was discouraged about even getting it and with an hour left I went to the right booth made the right deal and walked away feeling very good and with a sense of accomplishment. I wouldn’t have that if I had a pocket full of money and then said “gimme that”, I mean, that takes nothing.
Spider-Man Giveaway. Legit, these videos are awesome. I kind of wish they were longer, but I understand not wanting to harp on issues that most collectors already know a ton about. Good shit guys, really digging this series. Keep it up!
Spider-Man Givaway! I enjoyed this video, great content and I have gone back and watch a lot of the gem mint videos while doing paperwork at work. glad to see #101, #94 and #12 on the list, I own all 3!
Spider-Man Giveaway: Maybe most take it as a given, but I hadn't realized just how much a well-done cover (artistically) influences a book's collectibility till I saw the way you guys kept returning to the idea with the diff entries on this list
I have a graded 1.0 X-Men issue 1 and I love it despite the fact that it’s off white with tape and some marker spots on the cover. I’ve seen it go for $2000 but I have no intentions of selling it.
Spider-Man Giveaway : I’ve never been too interested in x-men, but loved House of M! That being said, always love hearing about grades and values on just about anything comic related. You both killed it in this video :)
Spider-Man Giveaway: Nice List definitely threw me for a loop on that Iron 👊 issue. I'm going to have to go into my X-Men collection and see if I have any of these. Nice work guys looking forward to the Spider-Man ones next week.
Spider Man Giveaway: Great Team-Up you two!! I am subbed to both channels and it was just great to see you two doing the back-and-forth review. I have most the books you guys reviewed including 2 copies of Hulk 181 (9.0 and 8.5) CGCed from my raw collection. Anyway! Keep up the great work fellas! Thanks!
Just discovered you guys today. This is awesome. My dad got in me into comics, I watch these videos with my daughter. My dad used to explain Adam Warlock and the infinity saga to me, in the 90s. As a little boy. Explained the x-Men to me. This is so cool. I would love to get these comics and restart collecting. I am going to see what other videos you guys have.
Being a new collector these vid's are priceless snippets of information..love the collaboration thing going on plus the bloopers..!! Ps..quick question..if someone paid these prices your mentioning here would they actually open the book/comic from the packaging and read it or would that devalue the grading..??!!!
Spider-Man Giveaway: The day after my wedding in 1996, I was at the comic shop in Duluth, MN. They had a VF X-Men #1 for $750. I only had $500, so I had to pass on it. One of my regrets in life. Great video guys. You rock.
Spider-Man Giveaway: I was surprised to see first appearance of Blob priced above Juggernaut, especially considering their film appearances. It's only a dollar, though... Anyway, great video. I love the concept and this channel.
Spiderman giveaway! A lot of great info as always. Also, I gotta say that X-Men collection Gary picked up is simply amazing. Gotta respect that man's hustle fo sho
Love those old X-Men books! They’re historic! I have a non-grade X-book Magneto almost killed Kitty. Deadpool’s 1st appear in New Mutants a CGC 9.0 over $400 is the most expensive I won off eBay. Mysterio’s 1st appear in Amazing Spider-Man is blowing expensive to get after Far From Home.
With great power comes.......great giveaways you guys are absolutely amazing!!!! Absolutely adore listening to two comic intellectuals getting down and hyped!!!! Keep it coming fellas!!!
Spider-man Giveaway: When it comes to comics, I come to this channel. When I wanna know more about statues and watch reviews? I come to this channel. Gem Mint is the god damn wikipedia of pop culture history. Great video Stephen! Keep it up with the videos
Spider-Man Giveaway! More like How Now Golden Cow Gary! Though I wasn't using those words out loud when I heard how much just the 7.0 can sell for in that Top 10 List. Great video too. The back and forth between you guys made it feel like a sporting event. A lot of fun to watch. Keep it minty fresh guys! :)
Love your shows guys.. Keep up the great work. Always loved Creed (sabertooth) and i feel the Juggernaut is a under used character in the MCU. Comic on my feinds!
Spider-Man giveaway: You guys DID surprise me with the Iron Fist issue, but right on. Sabertooth is so key to the X universe, but I NEVER knew there was a variant. Awesome info!
Thanks for the advice on X-men 94, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Super stoked for that 1st Cletus Kassady, My comic box has been feeling a little empty lately, help me out lol
Spider-Man Giveaway: I got caught in the web of your channel (thank you UA-cam algorithm.... :D) and just started collecting omnibus. I'm not at the stage of hunting down old classics like Thanos is hunting down infinity stones (couldn't afford them anyway) but still fun to watch these marvels! Nice work guys. :)
Great video guys. Like you guys said, the top 5 were mostly a given yet it is still great to watch and enjoyable to view comic talk and top ten videos are always cool to watch
Spider-Man Giveaway : I am loving the collabo videos, these videos led me to such great channels as Comic-Tom and Very Gary!! Keep up the awesome works guys!!!
Spiderman Giveaway!!! I found a crate of comics at a garage sale a decade ago. This is when I acquired 200 amazing spider-man comics. This sparked all my collectibles buying going strong to this day!!! Love the channel!
The beauty of old X Men comics is how timeless they are...you can pick these stories up in 2020 and its still relevant
My grandpa gave me like 7 X-men books
@@alonsback1107 cool 😎 grandpa
It’s about time Everlast and Carrot Top teamed up. Superstar duo showcasing some great books. Oh, and set me up for that Spider-Man giveaway.
AllNightFright amazing 😂😂
Sometimes being poor isnt too bad, but then I see this and realize I need to step up my money game
I inherited most books I see on Gary channel but lost them when I went to jail and my landlord threw out six longboxes of twelve cent era books
@@dragonballtalk8527 yooooooo
@@dragonballtalk8527 I'd been going back to jail for killing that bastard landlord!!😁😁😁

Ps..quick question..if someone paid these prices your mentioning here would they actually open the book/comic from the packaging and read it or would that devalue the grading..??!!!
If you remove the book from the encapsulation you'd probably have to get it graded again to maximize the value.
