Wow that's a huge investment. I hope it pays off quickly for you. I'm glad you're making a decent income especially after losing your job. I hope things continue up for you. Good luck!
The artist on Tales to Astonish #93 was the great Marie Severin, an unsung hero of the Marvel bullpen and one of my favorite artist of that era. This is an amazing haul, congratulations.
@@MintHunterComics great haul there I'm more a dc guy but the dc that was there looked great first batgirl and second appearance of teen titans in showcase
Nice to see yiy excited...used to have multiples 2-4 of all the Marvel comics other than DC in 1980s....DCs were a lot harder to find....sold many in late 1980s to early 1990s....
Crazy collection James. Probably the best collection pickup I've seen in years online. Really happy for you. Incredible to see that many keys just ready for pickup without any fluff. I may be asking a weird question, but where's the claim sale at ?
hella jellie! I'm def checking out what I can afford to scoop. I inherited a silver/brz collection of 600 books 400 were DC I'm a marvel guy so I coughed up a lot of them except the Kirby's and a few key issues and after that I kept about 40 or so of my faves after reading them surprised I kept a bunch of Aquaman and Green Lantern more so then Batman. It's all 6.0-8.0 condition so at the time most ppl didn't want them so I kept a lot of Neal Adams books I bet they wished they had taken them now. It's now my gold horde. 😂😂😂
Great haul, I have first reverse flash and trickster. I got them both for practically nothing because they are really low grade but I didn't care because now I own them. 😁Great show as always.
THANKS FOR SAVING THAT HULK COVERLESS YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE. COVERLESS STILL GREAT TO HAVE SAVED THEM THANK YOU. LOVE THE DC SORRY ABOUT THE SHAPE OF FIRST BATGIRL GO TEEN TITANS.
I have noticed this one things from years of collecting Marvel & DC silver age comics. The covers of the Marvel's tend to go yellow-brown very easy while I have many 1960s DC comics with snow white covers. I know they had different printers, which may be the problem. Marvel's-Eastern Color. And DC-World Color
Awesome to see the low number Iron Man & Subby books! Had 1-10 of both series in 6.0 until '79 when I traded them fo some high grade FF books. Finally got the Iron Man #1 & Subby #1 again recently. Only took over 40 years.
Where and how to place bids on this batch of books? I have most of these but yours are in better shape, great pick up, I am happy for you, sure beats punching a time clock!!! LOL
Awe man. I hate being paid on Tuesdays. I'll be watching, but won't be able to bid. I'd take a shot at the Batgirl appearances, maybe a few of those ASM ones too. Great books! Awesome grab, man! Keep up the cool and awesome content. Love it!
Nice Hulk #1, nothing wrong with a coverless book. My ASM 1 and 9 as well as ASM annual 1 are coverless as well as my GSX 1 with no front cover. Some books you get in any shape you can
Yeah you did pretty good, well done, 2k for this was amazing, as you retail was almost 22k, so that's really nice, hope you di dnot haggle him down too much ;-)
Killer haul! Nothing like Silver Age books! Too bad a bunch were cover less. I remember back in the 70s my friend and I went to an Antique shop where the owner wanted to get rid of DC Silver Age Comics. He felt they were worthless. My friend and I got some but little did we all knew he was sitting on a gold mine! I wished I purchased more because he was selling them at cheap prices! Oh well! Lol
i feel like this "key" talk in comics is turning into a meme, just about anything can turn a book into a key 1st appearance of this shade of blue on the cover art 1st appearance of the zinc alloy staple in the binding 1st appearance of of the 35 degree rounded speech bubble
How do you do that split screen video effect so a zoom in of the comic shows on the left-hand-side? I just finished an X-men grail run and am thinking about making a video showing the books but I don't know kind of on the fence. But if I do make one I want to use that effect it is really cool! Thanks for all your cool content appreciated!
May I suggest holding onto those Thor vs. Hercules books. With the post credit scene from Love And Thunder, they might get a movie bump with his next appearance on the big screen.
Enjoy those type of collections when you do get them,......thats part of what its all about,....they wont always be that easy and sometimes we all get beat, ........read some of those jokers,.....like the house that joker built,...!
Very nice. Are any going into your personal vault/collection? I know you say all is for sale, but sometimes folks have second thoughts when things quite down.
Wow the Hulk 1 no cover....still with big money....I estimate you paid 40%-50% of just book value which is a steal because most books are worth a lot more
I'm a huge spiderman collector I'm only missing 80 issues from a complete run, I don't have any coverless issues, my earliest is 17 in probably about a 3.0, I need that 50 and that 66 as always great video and super pick up
Favourite covers: the late Tales To Astonish and the early Incredible Hulk issues by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia or Dan Adkins, all three of whom should be better appreciated, and anything Steranko. Favourite villain name: the Creeping Unknown from Thor, it sounds like the title of a 1960s Hammer horror movie with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Favourite single issue: tie between Avengers 57, Silver Surfer 1 and The Shadow 1 (stunning Kaluta art).
Can you reveal now what you paid for this one year later? My collection is just now out of storage, will be soon for sale, and is very similar to what you showed here (except ad a run of Fantastic Four #'s 31 - 1971 ! And more!
@@MintHunterComics That Titans book is a huge sleeper key. I feel like the Titans get zero love especially the TT1. He right this collection might top it.
From “I massively over paid for this collection” to “the best collection I’ve ever bought!” happy for you man
Wow. This is the type of collection that people dream of finding. Congrats.
Looks like the decision to do this full time is paying off. And I’m sure you’re having more fun at it!
WAY MORE FUN
Wait is his full time job being a comic dealer now
@@Maljig yeah. He got laid off from his mortgage job a month or two ago
@@scottschram5178 that’s good for him
Wow that's a huge investment. I hope it pays off quickly for you. I'm glad you're making a decent income especially after losing your job. I hope things continue up for you. Good luck!
I’m really happy for you!! Good karma for kicking ass with your videos! 😊
You could practically open a comic shop with this collection! Lol
Great find! It's great to see you doing well after the job loss, and you seem really happy. Keep it up. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Amazing books, I'm particularly jealous of those spidey keys. Amazing collection, glad you're doing well man!
What an awesome collection. I love seeing these kind of videos. Talk about amazing James. Thank you for sharing.
That is a lot of good stuff man!! Congrats! Thank You for all of the help you always manage to give me 🍻🍻
Wow. What an amazing purchase! Interesting to see how quick some of them will be sold in your ongoing series of claim sales. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats James on this treasure pile of vintage awesomeness!!!!

Looking a whole lot like heritage auctions with all this new inventory!
Wow, that has to be one of if not your best haul yet. Looking forward to seeing some of this at BDCF.
I think it could be! it's def up there
That collection is every Marvel Silver Age fan's dream! Wow : )
I love the split screen, with a zoom on the comics. At first I thought you had Giant size issues!
THANKS FOR SAVING THAT HULK COVERLESS YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE. COVERLESS STILL GREAT TO HAVE SAVED THEM THANK YOU. LOVE THE DC SORRY ABOUT THE SHAPE OF FIRST BATGIRL GO TEEN TITANS.
Dude! So many awesome books! Great video, James!
Thanks a bunch!
Gotta love comic grails just magically manifesting themselves to you.
Amazing pick up. Thank you for sharing. Now to watch your coverless video.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 That is one of the most awesome collections I have ever seen! 🎉🎉🎉❤🎉But I think X-man #9 is the first time X-men meets Avengers.
nice that the Hulk's first page looks like a cover, still displays nicely
I know right?
Incredible pick-up, congrats! Look forward to Sunday's claim sale.
AHHHHHHHH LIVING PRISON!!! DD. My fave. I have three of them.
Nice!

My dream is to find a Detective Comics #359 out in the wild. What a collection to come across! :)
Dude!. I found a bunch of v1 Star Wars last week. After your video about #80, I drove back next day and picked it up.
Best Buy I have seen, great job

A beautiful collection a really gem.

That’s a great collection buy for $2K. Congratulations
Okay you have to admit ...your money was better spent on those issues than five slabs that may have a 9.8 rating. Those comics are awesome.
Nice Hulk #1, nothing wrong with a coverless book. My ASM 1 and 9 as well as ASM annual 1 are coverless as well as my GSX 1 with no front cover. Some books you get in any shape you can
What an awesome pick up, hope you do well with your sales. Really enjoyed the video thank you
What a collection, great video as always.
Great pick ups sir, well done from the UK
You're so lucky man! Sweet books!👍
Congrats again!!
Awesome collection James! What are you going to roll all these profits into???
Paying off debt/wedding/withholding for taxes lolol
Your aren't kidding dude that is insane!! 🔥🔥🔥
It really is!

Yes! Thank you!
Between UA-cam and selling comics, I hope you’re able to support yourself full-time, James.
Love the tec 359!

Wow what a great buy a lot of my favorite books and in great condition
That’s what I’m thinking!
This is one of your best videos. Holy crap. I'm coming for that Batgirl 1st appearance on Sunday. $400?
May I suggest holding onto those Thor vs. Hercules books. With the post credit scene from Love And Thunder, they might get a movie bump with his next appearance on the big screen.
I think the book did worse after that movie! haha
@MintHunterComics hopefully a Hercules v Thor fight in the next movie fixes the last
Wow...awesome find
Wow James great books
I don't run into many collections but when I do it's full turok and starbrand stuff like that. That's a dope pick up man . Dd 38 is the better cover
Hahahahahahaha
Just an awesome freaking haul! So nice to get quality over quantity too. The only negative I see is how the heck are you ever going to top that?
Good question!
I have that Iron Man 10 personally signed by Stan! Been hunting that IM 9 Hulk cover forever. Very nice pickups!
Like those amazing spiderman!
Oh Indeed!
Enjoy those type of collections when you do get them,......thats part of what its all about,....they wont always be that easy and sometimes we all get beat, ........read some of those jokers,.....like the house that joker built,...!
Awesome,Very happy fr u bro.
Very nice. Are any going into your personal vault/collection? I know you say all is for sale, but sometimes folks have second thoughts when things quite down.
I have a cloverless FF 4 and Hulk 4 I got some covers created for them for under 20 bucks each. It really makes a difference. Don't staple them though
Wow the Hulk 1 no cover....still with big money....I estimate you paid 40%-50% of just book value which is a steal because most books are worth a lot more
he said he paid 2k for the collection
Wow, you paid 2K for that collection, good for you, happy for you! A nice boost for you now that you are doing this full time...
Thanks so much!
No he paid more than two grand perfect if you paid 2 Grand for that that guy got ripped off
@@RaspberrysPuppet Look in the comments below, he states he paid 2K. "Sunbichu's" comments to be exact.
@@RaspberrysPuppet he says 2k in a comment
I'm a huge spiderman collector I'm only missing 80 issues from a complete run, I don't have any coverless issues, my earliest is 17 in probably about a 3.0, I need that 50 and that 66 as always great video and super pick up
So jealous congratulations
Awesome books. You got a DC presents 26 to throw on Sundays claim sale too?
Favourite covers: the late Tales To Astonish and the early Incredible Hulk issues by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia or Dan Adkins, all three of whom should be better appreciated, and anything Steranko.

This is that once in a lifetime purchase.
Nice score!
This is why i call myself Da-key hunta. Wall books are a joy to see in the collection and builds real genuine excitement. Glad for you broski. 👊🏾
I’m so pumped dude

I thought the collection Joe picked up was nuts. A lot of sweet book including 3 ever Teen Titans, First Silver Age Batgirl, and Hulk 1.
I ALSO thought the collection he picked up was nuts. He says he thinks this tops it
@@MintHunterComics That Titans book is a huge sleeper key. I feel like the Titans get zero love especially the TT1. He right this collection might top it.
Awesome pick up. What time on Sunday is the claim sale.
Best collection I have ever seen.
Did you check each book for missing pages or cutouts?
Yes. It took frigging forever
Need those coverless
Hey whatcha gonna do with those Captain Marvel #1s & the Nick Fury ones? 😅
Hiw do you price the coverless ones?
I actually made a “how to price cover less” video!
This is a collection of a lifetime
These are really gold 😂
They are!
Man love those Thors
ME TOO!
Congrats!
