Firstly, amazing haul as always. And thank you for letting me do those for you, It was my pleasure and way to give back for all of the great content you've supplied us with.
The cut-corner (sometimes they used a hole punch too) means that it was an unsold album that was returned to the distributor. They cut the corner, and then sent it to another retailer at a severely discounted price.
Deep cut on “whatever happened to wonder dog”. Wow. I love stuff like this, so very cool. Many thanks for that bit of amazing trivia. Love your channel and keep on hunting amigo!🎉❤
Great show Mike. You have great, generous friends. Love the Superman album. Reminds of a record I had many moons ago by the Mighty Groundhogs, that was a gatefold full Of Neal Adams art. It was beautiful. Kurt Schaffenberger's art was always so clean and accomplished, his women were always very pretty. Keep up the good work sir. Looking forward to the next one.
Great video Mike ! Love the comics After I saw you get a copy of The Rocketeer 5 Part collection I had to get on and I did for not a bad price less than $20
Wow! So many awesome finds and gets!! Glad you were able to get that ASM 194! Saw you mention it on a previous video. Looks like a nice copy! Better than my newsstand one. Being a Spidey fan, i love that ASM 23! I bet your sister loved the Jean Grey items! All that artwork is amazing!! Need to head down to His and Hers for some good deals! Go Bruins!!
Hi Mike, nice to see the ACG Forbidden Worlds Magicman ‘atomic’ cover for a change. Haven’t heard the exclamation ‘curtains’ for ages, probably since 1966 🤣
You're going to LOVE Usagi Yojimbo! It's so dang good. It's had the same writer and artist for 40 years now, so it never loses its vision. Stan Sakai is one of the best to ever do it!
Hey sir! Great show, and great haul. Just a heads up, because you asked, that the cut at the top of the Superman record means that it was a promo copy. That’s what they used to do to records when they were sent to stores for play copies. Cheers!
I love that you got 25 cent comics from a comic shop then when you go see unbagged 90s books in a collection they want $3 each :) from someone who had it next to their water heater for 40 years.
(I hit the comic jackpot today) Found your channel today, and it inspired me to find my own lunch money comics. I went to a local pawn shop and asked them if they had comics. They guy pulled out a silver and gold age comic box that had comics with no cover or were in bad shape. But what I did find was a Batman #181 in about a 5.0 condition with the poster still in the comic for $20. I just got a $800-$900 comic for $20 bucks. Score!
Mike, you ahve SO many books up there on your Wonder Wall... Keep looking at that SPOTLIGHT 5 !!! Always wanted to fill in all of the Ploog GRs.... Last time I looked it up it was $8000 for a damaged return ( 3/4 cover!! YEESH!! I picked up GR # 11 which reprints that tale.... We'll see...!!
Awesome Pickups! I really love the Usagi Yojimbo series. It's a pretty easy series to get into. It's has alot if stand alone stories. But if you want to start from the beginning I recommend the Fantagraphics run then read mirage and darkhorse runs.
@@lunchmoneycomics no problem my dude I randomly found your channel and love watching your comic videos keep up the awesome work. Watching your videos mande me want to collect & read comics again.
Records or CDs that have a "nick" were given to the stores for free as a promotional item. The distributor gives it to the stores for free in hopes that they would play it in the store to promote sales of said item. I used to manage a CD store and we would get those on a weekly basis to coincide with many new releases.
Stop influencing people to buy up my forbidden worlds and driving up the price. JK, much love brother and great books. Hopefully they came with an extra blanket...and I truly appreciate your kind gesture with the FF86!
I think the corner clip from your record might be the same type of thing they do for dvd's and blu-rays when they punch a hole through the upc code. It's done when the studio's / companies send out copies for review or for contest winners as well. Or it could be surplus inventory clipped and sent back to the company for credit.
Usagi is great. I started with issue #1 from the first series. Had to go back and read the Albedo/Critters stories. Now is probably my favorite. Have really been thinking of trying to trade some of my Marvel/DC stuff to get Albedo 2 but... don't really know many people or places to look for trades. :\ Cool books!
I got a chance to meet Andy the other day wicked good guy. He was having a tag sale and I was able to buy a batman 388 awesome joker cover from him for a great price. He mentioned you and the channel we had a great conversation
Steve Gerbere GuardianS In M. PRESENTS #3 7 or 8 are unrecognized Bronze Age classics.... even if Gerber did hammer NYC when it was down (Okay, he HAD been mugged and robbed in Hell's Kitchen...!!)
I don’t want to get rich and I don’t care about the monetary value. I just love comics and dream of digging through collections in “strange and unusual places.” Any advice on how to find people and places and such?
@@Dan-z2t lots of research. Google nearby antique shops and flea markets. Search on FB for yard sales and trash to treasure groups. And of course, be friendly with everyone you meet at these places, you’ll be surprised how many leads you’ll get!
I had many comics that I would like to sell as a bundle for once. I have Superman Trinity and Star Wars from 1 to many on both of them and others graded and sports cards. let me know?
Great video mike! I was actually scrolling through chef.grundy’s page a while ago, and I saw your comment claiming the asm 194! I was waiting for you to show it on the channel!
When I watch your channel and others I see all those books that are worth like nothing I wonder how do they ever sell all of them even if they’re like 10 cents a piece? There’s just so many of them, it must take a decade. Is it really worth your time and effort? I can’t understand it. I get it sometimes people just want a cheap little comic book and read it and have fun, but I don’t get it. I understand some cheap books because the cover looks cool. But most of them are worth nothing and how do you sell them? I don’t have a big collection maybe 250 or so books I don’t know. And most of them I bought a cover price the early 90s to mid. Most of them are not worth anything, but I like some of the covers so they’re cool in that aspect.
@@Supersizeshake I already have several other videos uploaded that have to come up first, plus I have SO MUCH footage, AND a big trip coming up, I think we are looking at a few weeks out

Amazing comic grab. The Spider-Man 23 and the sketch cover of TMNT are my faves. That black cat first appearance is pretty sweet also
That back wall is on Fire !!! Epic !! :)
You got some great books! Loved the First Apocalypse Angel. :D
🙏Thank You for the kind words Mike! 🙏 Happy to add another atomic cover to your collection!
@@collectingcasually it’s a really fun cover (well, it’s as fun as a atomic bomb can be) so thanks for sending it my way!
You're correct, that TMNT sketch is the best cover. But for me, the best book is that first appearance of Black Cat. Awesome haul, Mike!
Great video as always LMC! Keep up the great work! God bless!
I'm jealous... getting to see Golden is awesome!!! love his stuff
Nice haul you got, Mike. Great show as always.
Thanks Mike nothing better on a Monday for some comic content 🤩
Nice haul. Love the TMNT sketch cover.

Great video Mike ! Love the comics After I saw you get a copy of The Rocketeer 5 Part collection I had to get on and I did for not a bad price less than $20

Fun gets Mike! As always, thanks for sharing, sir!

I forgot about that Crystar Nightcrawler book! I loved it when I was a kid. Michael Golden is a comic god.

Simple economics and business cash flow practices… pretty easy to understand.
Mike … you have been nominated in a few categories buddy.. congrats
Awesome haul my friend 😁
awesome vid and books sir
It's called a deletion cut...which basically means it's out of print.
Great show again dude.

Cut corners on vinyl albums meant the retailer couldn't send them back to the distributor. It signified non-returnable
New on this channel, just stumbled upon it, but I love it!
Never stop Mike🤓
If you poke around in the files of @Pop Comics Sean did a video with REX 4!! (with lots of history!!) As some comics dudes say: If you know you know!!
