Loved Excalibur when it came out! I remember having a poster of the 1st issue cover hanging on my wall. Wish I still had it. Excalibur is one I'm trying to go back and re-collect. Great stuff!
Always liked Excalibur too. That X-men unlimited pink magneto cover was one of the first comic books I can remember owning my uncle put it up the bed for me one morning before school. Awesome pick ups
Omg Mike, you better save up for a bigger house the way you going for 2024 😅! I really like those last few books you showed at the end of video especially the one featuring Batwoman. Also Black Adam with Isis. 👍
Getting the Excalibur run is awesome, such an underrated book. I've always loved Davis's art and the cover to #1 is one of my favourite pieces he's done. Like you I'm a big Nightcrawler fan and those early issues with Kitty, Kurt and Rachel teaming up with Cap'n B and Meggan were some of the best books I read as a kid. If you haven't already have a look at some of Cap'n B's early stories by Alan Moore and Davis, some of the best stories ever. Hope your Claremont hunt is going well, I'm down to 5... a very expensive 5.. might take a while!
Definite nostalgia with what you picked up. I did pick up the entire 52 run which I enjoyed but don't remember much about now. I also was an Excalibur fan with the great Alan Davis art. I collected it into the 70s. My only Marvel series besides Daredevil. I also picked up the Black Panther #1 because of the awesome cover. All great pickups because it was what you liked. The most impressive part of the $1 sale was every run was together which I am sure made it much quicker to go through.
The X-Men has always been my favorite book as well. I've been collecting for almost 50 years and got all of these books when they came out. It's great to see how happy getting these made you! Keep collecting.
Those West Coast Avengers 😢 I've been trying to complete my run. Plus all the Force Works books. Includes the Marvel Comics Presents too. Hate missing out on stuff like this. I too gravitated towards Excaliber for Nightcrawler. Only have about 20 issues though.that is so amazing watching while writing....dude that is beyond so awesome!!!!
I clearly remember buying that Excalibur first special in Prestige format when I was 13. Gosh! Comics in London was the shop. I picked the entire run from a local last year and loved the first story arcs. It gets meh from issue 53… still a good read!
I'm a Huge Excalibur fan, captain Britain has always been one of my favorites, and I'm trying now to complete my series, also the X-Men Archives series that has captain Britain in it as well.
Nice pick ups, I wish I got calls about $1 comics sales. After your praise for the Excalibur I went to check if I had any in a collection I picked up recently. Found about 26 issues
I love Kate Kane. Most underrated member of the bat family for sure. I think it’s partially the Batman Beyond influence but I love the black and red design.
I dig that Nightcrawler shirt. Also, that's an incredible deal! I remember reading some Excalibur in the 90s, but I don't have any of them in my collection. Maybe I'll check it out. Awesome video, as always, man!
That was the very definition of a Bargain! I wish I lived closer to a comic book store, I normally have to order them online but I have prepared a list of comics for when I go to London soon as my favourite store is there 🙌🏼. I may have to give your favourite character, night crawler, a read as I’ve heard great things !
An incredible deal! I think I would have pulled out multiple long boxes just from what you were thumbing through. When opportunities like that come up, you just have to jump on them. Happy that you got that complete run of Excalibur in one go!
I recently bought a comic bundle and had the same black panther comic in it. I scanned it on hipcomic, and it came up NM+ $55. It's definitely a keeper for me to add towards my 🔑 comics.i also collect Xforce, xmen,tmnt,spawn, and a couple of short runs the list goes on but whos counting hey. Great box of comics for you mike and good price too. Love the video as always.
Heck of a deal, Mike. I never have gotten into Excalibur, but it's on the list of titles I need to check out. You definitely know how to strike it big. Great video!
You got a deal on those comics. I am not buying any comics unless I find a key book really cheap cause I am going after my last few grail books to finish my collection which Primer#2,TMNT#1, Swamp Thing#37,Tomb of Dracula#1, Cerebus#1,Detective Comics#168,X-Men#1 1963 and Batman#1 1940. I will never get all of them cause some of them are crazy expensive but after I get what I can my 15 plus years collection is complete and I am calling it quits.
I really have to cut down on watching your videos 😂. You show so many great books that I’ve forgotten about and then I need to go find them myself! Not so with Black Panther 1998 (second series btw, not third) - I picked up a 9.8 cgc of it about a month ago for $175. And that was a really good deal (most 9.8s are going for 200-300 bucks). I think it’s one of the best if not the best key issue for BP. Thanks for the great video again!
I really would love to find 1$ Books over here. Im pretty new to collecting & there is lot of stuff I would love to have but they cost easily at least 5-6$😢
I’m super jealous you passed over a bunch of warlock and the infinity watch I’m trying to complete that run only like 13 issues away you local stores are killer
I think $.50 a book is a great deal $.35 a steel. Nice to see someone else who appreciates Alpha flight. I have doubles and triples of number one through 80 most of them newsstand editions.
have you checked out Alan Davis' other kinda related to Excalibur work, ClanDestine.... pretty good little side series to add to your collection, it for sure has that Evcalibur feel.
Love the cover for Excalibur 1, only read the first couple issues as a kid because of the X-men characters. I see a long box of dollar books as too much work and taking up too much space.
Speaking of ubiquitous books. I"m convinced every comicshop gets a copy of the" Batman riddled with bullets cover".. and it never sells!!(*SPOOKY MUSIC,Up and under*)
Read, collected, and currently own not only all of 52 and its tie ins, but also the sequel series (that most non-New-Gods fans hated) 52 Countdown. Who could hate a series where Mr. Mind turns into an interdimensional dragon and Booster Gold of all people saves the multi-verse?
Marvel did a number of reprint miniseries in the 1980s of comics such as early Lee/Ditko Dr. Strange, Steranko S.H.I.E.L.D. and Neal Adams X-Men on glossier paper with better colouring which are excellent value compared to the pricey Epic collections and over-priced Masterworks. Wolverine on the cover of X-Men: Alpha is one of the ugliest depictions of the character I've ever seen - so 90s. Excalibur is indeed a very good series, for me one of its best traits is its Britishness: Claremont (who was born in London) and Davis made the effort to add that UK flavour to the plots and scripts. And the beautiful art just added to the whole package. Speaking of which, RIP Paul Neary, the best inker to ever work on Davis' pencils and a fine artist in his own right - gone too early but he leaves us with a beautiful body of work.
@lunchmoneycomics It's a father son tale you ought to read. It's inspired other arts from music (Liquid Swords)to cartoons (Samurai Jack)as well. Keep up the fun show!
Amazing deal!
Excalibur is such an underrated series. Alan Davis's art is great.
Loved Excalibur when it came out! I remember having a poster of the 1st issue cover hanging on my wall. Wish I still had it. Excalibur is one I'm trying to go back and re-collect. Great stuff!

Read the entire 52...absolutely amazing story.

Congratulations on Excalibur. As a Captain Britain fan, I understand the joy :)
Those West Coast Avengers 😢 I've been trying to complete my run. Plus all the Force Works books. Includes the Marvel Comics Presents too. Hate missing out on stuff like this.
I too gravitated towards Excaliber for Nightcrawler. Only have about 20 issues though.that is so amazing watching while writing....dude that is beyond so awesome!!!!
Good luck with your West Coast Avengers run!
Awesome buy even if you weren't interested in the series for an entire complete run that is still well worth getting at that price
Yep Mike you did real good. I did one of my shows on Jim Rhodes explaining all the ins and outs of how he ultimately became the war machine.
🤘🔥🤘❤👍 Great Long Box score mate and those Nightcrawler issues are the biggest wins for me watching 🤘🔥❤🤘
Absolutely LOVED EXCALIBUR back in the day!!!
Love Nightcrawler one of my Favs for sure when X2 came out was so stoked by him being in that movie 👍
$.35/book… now that’s the definition on Lunch Money Comics! Well done
My god what a score! So jealous. Excalibur by Claremont and Davis was one of my favorite things. Loved that team.
With an LCS like Nishon’s you can complete your goals in record time! Great pickup’s Mike!
Oh I would have snagged all those Captain America books!
PS- awesome Nightcrawler shirt!
Awesome pick ups brotha! I wish my LCS would have a sale like this!! Keep up the great content! 🤙
Nice. I think the best pick ups out of the entire slingbox of books, are the War Machine comics. Cool character.
Nice review.
To complete a full run at one time is pretty cool 😎. 😊
I loved 52. Great reading!
Dang a whole Excalibur run in one shot. I'm about 50-60 in picking and piecing them.
Wish I could get a long box for $90, nice score!
52 is one of the greatest DC runs EVER. I HIGHLY recommend reading.
I clearly remember buying that Excalibur first special in Prestige format when I was 13. Gosh! Comics in London was the shop. I picked the entire run from a local last year and loved the first story arcs. It gets meh from issue 53… still a good read!
Good evening Michael
A great pick up indeed, and a big tick for a 2024 goal.
Keep up the great work
Cheers Al the Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
Great stuff. Hard to pass up. 👍🏻
I’ve picked up a number of Excalibur in the dollar bin. I love the wrap around covers!
I'm a Huge Excalibur fan, captain Britain has always been one of my favorites, and I'm trying now to complete my series, also the X-Men Archives series that has captain Britain in it as well.
Some of the later issues of Alpha Flight are hard to find. Good luck.
It was a great sale. There’s still good stuff sitting in those boxes! Congrats on the complete set.
What an awesome haul. Congrats on the Excalibur run.
Nice pick ups, I wish I got calls about $1 comics sales. After your praise for the Excalibur I went to check if I had any in a collection I picked up recently. Found about 26 issues
I’ve read all of 52, it’s great!
great deal.. great video.... thanks.
I love Kate Kane. Most underrated member of the bat family for sure. I think it’s partially the Batman Beyond influence but I love the black and red design.
That was definitely a nice pick-up. No way would I have passed on that deal.
I dig that Nightcrawler shirt. Also, that's an incredible deal! I remember reading some Excalibur in the 90s, but I don't have any of them in my collection. Maybe I'll check it out. Awesome video, as always, man!
I have the entire run of Excalibur, and also picked it up all at once. Great stuff!
That was the very definition of a Bargain! I wish I lived closer to a comic book store, I normally have to order them online but I have prepared a list of comics for when I go to London soon as my favourite store is there 🙌🏼.
I may have to give your favourite character, night crawler, a read as I’ve heard great things !
I recently bought a 1-75 X-Calibur run for $0.50 each. I love them. I love all those vol.2 x-men books too.
Awesome totally awesome super haul Mike
Thanks for the 52 update. Didn't collect during that time period and had no idea what it was about! Great channel!
That comic owner was dope as heck to sell you all those books for that price! That's great you were able to get a bunch of stuff for different runs.
Wow what an amazing deal for a whole long box. Love the little bit of DC love you put in there. Congrats on finishing your Excalibur run!
really good hauls, bro. nice job.
nice pick up
Stellar pick-up!

Loved Excalibur as well and seeing your video reminds me I’m still missing a bunch of issues!
Heck of a deal, Mike. I never have gotten into Excalibur, but it's on the list of titles I need to check out. You definitely know how to strike it big. Great video!
Have read 52 in trade. Would love first Batwoman. That's cool.
Awesome pick up as always. Great content as always. The Alpha flight is a cool book. I picked one up and got home and it was a Mark jewelers!
Stunning LMC pick-up. Congratulations Mike.
You got a deal on those comics.

Awesome video! One of my 2024 comic goals is to fully complete the X-Men vol 2 run, slowly but surely working my way there!
Some really good pickups for a great price. Must be nice 🙂
You say X-Man keeps popping up when you go hunting. NFL Superpro is that book for me. I mail them out as jokes from time to time to friends.
I have maybe half that Excalibur run,and I have read 52 but I have the four trade paperbacks
I really have to cut down on watching your videos 😂. You show so many great books that I’ve forgotten about and then I need to go find them myself! Not so with Black Panther 1998 (second series btw, not third) - I picked up a 9.8 cgc of it about a month ago for $175. And that was a really good deal (most 9.8s are going for 200-300 bucks). I think it’s one of the best if not the best key issue for BP. Thanks for the great video again!
Best black panther key issue since FF52 I should say 😎
That’s a fantastic deal for that book! And please don’t cut down on my videos, I have so many comics to share!
I really would love to find 1$ Books over here. Im pretty new to collecting & there is lot of stuff I would love to have but they cost easily at least 5-6$😢
This reminds me of when I got a long box of Conan the Barbarian #50 to #200 plus all annuals AND the complete run of Red Sonja for $75
I’m super jealous you passed over a bunch of warlock and the infinity watch I’m trying to complete that run only like 13 issues away you local stores are killer
I'm working on an X FACTOR run too!! All the keys are running away from my eager fingers!!!I do have ANNUAL # 1 twice (ARRGHH!!)
Excalibur is just a cool group overall. It's one of my secondary runs. Original X-Men is my main run but I pick others up when they're a good price.
I think $.50 a book is a great deal $.35 a steel. Nice to see someone else who appreciates Alpha flight. I have doubles and triples of number one through 80 most of them newsstand editions.
Oooh,no Mike!! You are crossing int the Crossover THicket!! BEWARE!! HERE BE DRAGONS!!! No Kidding, greta vid so far...
😮 wow $90!?! Nice.
Heck of a pick up!
have you checked out Alan Davis' other kinda related to Excalibur work, ClanDestine.... pretty good little side series to add to your collection, it for sure has that Evcalibur feel.
Cool Nightcrawler shirt!
Thanks!
Darker image always finds me
Really like your videos
Good Gets
Just picked up the full run of 52 in a flat rate box thing on whatnot last weekend for like $30
Love the cover for Excalibur 1, only read the first couple issues as a kid because of the X-men characters.
I see a long box of dollar books as too much work and taking up too much space.
Speaking of ubiquitous books. I"m convinced every comicshop gets a copy of the" Batman riddled with bullets cover".. and it never sells!!(*SPOOKY MUSIC,Up and under*)
I really enjoyed 52
Welcome to the club. Not only am I member I'm the President
Would you ever consider sending the heroes for hope xmen to cbcs to get slabbed if you ever get all the signatures?? That would be sweet.
Maybe, I wouldn’t want to slab it until I got every single one I can, and there are a ton left. So hypothetically yes but not for years
Jealous about the NIGHTCRAWLER run. Working on it all a can find is #3, many, many, frustrating copies of THREE!!!
I LOVE EXCALIBUR
Jim Lee alpha flight #51 is another you want
Read, collected, and currently own not only all of 52 and its tie ins, but also the sequel series (that most non-New-Gods fans hated) 52 Countdown. Who could hate a series where Mr. Mind turns into an interdimensional dragon and Booster Gold of all people saves the multi-verse?
😂that's a great deal I live in athol is there any stores around my area
This store in Greenfield is almost certainly your best bet!
The bags and boards are worth 35 cents each almost.
Yessss!!! AGE OF APOCALYPSE!
man send me them extra nightcrawler miniseries, i need a set for my Xmen collection ;)
You're beginning to look a lot like Reed Richards, dude. hehehe
Yeah the kids are aging me! Gotta keep the haircut tight to hide the grays lol
No dude 362 is first time we actually see crossbones. His 1st app is just a silhouette. You want 362 and it's in that box.
😮 … the comic market idea of 1st appearance is super inconsistent.
Marvel Knights and Joe Quesada actually saved Marvel from bankruptcy. After Marvel Knights came the Ultimate Universe and Marvel began recovering.
That robot is Box...
I thought you was getting the box with all the Captain America issues in it
Almost grabbed that as well!

Yes. You have failed in your new years resolution. Remember, it's not hoarding if it's comics.
I hoard comics, am I ok? 😅
Hey man you ever read lone wolf and cub? Just curious
@@chuymendosa9965 I haven’t, good stuff?
@lunchmoneycomics It's a father son tale you ought to read. It's inspired other arts from music (Liquid Swords)to cartoons (Samurai Jack)as well. Keep up the fun show!
