Good for you being transparent and honest on what you've spent. You're down to earth, 'real person' style is what I love
Agreed- really cool to see the openness instead of how people often feel ashamed. Frankly, I'm afraid to tally up my online orders related to my hobbies (not just comics)
Onya' mate, I feel the same way. Great channel, that being a main reason :)
$7,500 a year for a major hobby that funds itself isn't bad. That combined with the fact the books mostly go up if you need to sell them is a win all around. Much respect Gem.
For sure, many hobbies leave a person with nothing at the end. I know a lot of people that play sports and spend a ton on it and don’t have anything to sell off when they quit.
essaywhu this is not a well thought out comment...
Max Kernfeld how so? My best friend spends a ton on Hockey gear, has to pay dues, and then more for traveling for games, like staying in hotels and even air travel. He’s older so he isn’t going to get any money back from becoming a pro all of a sudden. Nobody’s going to want to buy his smelly old gear.
essaywhu no offense but I think it‘s obvious that you are not a sportsman.
@@maxkernfeld7928 he’s right tho lmao it’s all a big ass waste of money unless you’re a actually pro in the NHL
$30k in books just chillin in the background of every video? Now that’s a flex and a half
like bruh i could buy the materials for a nice at least 1 bedroom house
Also thats with them being half priced right? Imagine if it was $100-$120 each omnibus 😭
"retirement plan" Im gonna have to use that line from now on
Gem: I challenge you, add up your online orders!
Me: How about no.
Ha ha Kris. I hear you. Let's not go there lol
I've spent around 1200€in the last 10 years of collecting manga and comics
I don’t even want to look at my spending total 😭
^Truth.......................
Wow! $30K, that's pretty sweet man! I'm a Gen-Xer and just getting started in collecting. Growing up, I didn't have the financial means to buy comics, but I'm truly thankful that I can start collecting my favorites in omnibus formats! :-)
To be honest your collection is far more cosmetically pleasing that some numbers on a piece of paper and is infinitely more entertaining.
I really appreciate gem being so honest about how much it spends it just makes him seem even more in touch with his community 🔥💎
You can either have AF 15 at a 4.5 or an entire omnibus collection with enough material to read for decades. I think you made the right choice by going this route from a personal enjoyment perspective.
You may want to look into Brodart covers. It will definitely take some time to cover all those dust jackets, but they protect the covers and the books really well.
Since getting back into collecting. I’ve spent around $4400 so far. Lol. But I love all tips and info I get from this channel.
It's cool the see how your collection has changed over the years. From CGC slabs to statues to omnibus. I don't think many people realize how long you've been collecting, and how you've built a hobby that funds itself now.
Cheapgraphicnovels really doesnt like people mentioning IST looool
I love that you tell it how it is transparency is key there is no bs
great vid and respect to u for being transparent and completely honest with ur subscribers, not many content creators do that. keep up the awesome work and cool vids
I watched this with my wife and now she is eyeballing my collection.
i just started in april and i've already spent $5,000
Pretty much the same but i buy singles
Love how straight up you are with us! Keep up the great work!
I really like that you do this, its important to know what you have so it can keep being special, great video!
30 000 Doll Hairs... WHAT
lol
Hot damn. That’s incredible! Insane! You do have the best collection of omnibus around!
I haven’t even seen anybody close
Daaaaang! I remember following your posts in groups and watching you build that collection. Crazy (and amazing)!
Wow, havent seen anyone who is so honest in things like this🔥
Nope! Not looking at my cost! hahaha. One thing I can say is that I never had an order with more than 3 omnis; GL by Geoff Johns was my biggest online order. Great video, Gem!
So funny Gem gives IST 30 grand but gets sponsored by CGN
I look forward to your videos more than any other on YT. I have no doubt your channel will keep growing steadily. Thanks for all you do Gem. 💎💎💎
Dopest collector and reader on social media!!! Love your energy and humility and you got me into the omni game. Much love to you and your wife!
$3,860.32 just from IST since August 2019! Damn man why u make me look at the total. 😆 I still need to add up eBay, CGN, and Facebook! Fml! But just a guesstimate close to 5 g's In a year! I'm def gonna slow down. 😆
Dread to think how much I have spent on omnibus as well as absolutes etc but I have sold items (X-Men 1 omnibus being one of them annoyingly) over the years (and regretted that) but I have also I have dumped (charity shops etc) loads of comics that are now key issues, not much you can do about that one - back in the 60s and 70s they weren't key issues. UK prices for omnibuses are fairly but mainly £50 each but as soon as they go out of print, £300+ etc on various sites but I just avoid those, not that obsessive to get them all as I know they may come out again in new (and better) format. Seen so many versions of these books since the 60s, definitely think the omnibus is the best format (far superior to the original comics as far as I am concerned). The worst ones for me are the brilliant IDW Artist editions (have about five of those and they are a lot in the UK so prefer when they come out in artisan format)
Really awesome vid, thanks for being so transparent
Somethings we don't discuss when the wife is present.......LOL!
Yeah, I can just imagine how much I've spent...but if you're using CGN or IST, the total amount spent could be much higher so it's worth the cost
You're lucky you have such a supportive wife like phie! She's a keeper, although I don't need to tell you that.
Love your Chanel btw. 💪💎
😊 thank you
After all these years of watching collecting meeting and admiring comic book collectors I'm glad to find that there are still people left who can openly admits what they do what they spend and what they have read. Gem Mint, your really are a cool dude and an awesome collector
Thank you for this, puts it into perspective.
honestly, omni's aren't that bad when you think about resale because you can ship them media mail, doesn't really matter how much they weight
That’s how I justify omni purchases lol
This was a brave move to look up this number... I’m honestly afraid to calculate mine, even though like you said it’s purchasing appreciating assets.
No, this is not entirely accurate. If you get a book that goes OoP FOREVER, then yes. But the moment they reprint it, yours loses value. And if you actually read them, you need to keep them in perfect condition too.
Always fun learning about your collection. Keep up the great content.
That’s Awesome Gem! Thanks for always keepin it real!
Yea Barnes & noble is trippin lol, gotta order online
Fr 😂😂
barnes and noble is trying to make money. you can't run a business selling stuff for less than you pay for it, not brand new stuff.
Always great videos, very informative.
Another great video!Like so many of your viewing fans I love your down to earth style. It feels like im just kicking back talking to a friend
Wish I had a library like that! I've been buying more books lately, but still probably around the $1,000 mark. Love you Gem, stay real
always dope content, keep it up!
Congrats for when you make it Gem, you deserve it! You've helped me so much w/ learning how to become a better collector, love your content so much man! Keep it up dude!!
Love your channel!! Keep up the amazing work.
This was surprising at first...but the more you think about it, it’s understandable. This is a hobby that will fund itself! I definitely think most of these will continue to appreciate!!!!
Great video man. I’ve been subscribed for about a week now and have been straight up binging your content. I like how you’re honest but really nice about it. Keep it up. 🙌🏻
Informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Just started my Omni trek. One of the first videos I remember watching of yours was “how to afford this hobby” or such. And you mentioned it being a self funding hobby, and that’s what I’ve been doing. Selling old books and getting the ones I want
Another great vid! Love the channel!
Love it! I have learned so much from you, just starting to get into this hobbie and im pumped.
Videos and honesty like this is why I subbed gem and phie
Congrats again gem we all love ya in the community!
Much respect Gem! Love your videos!
You're awesome man, love the videos thanks for dropping that knowledge!!!
Another great video keep up the great work
Love your videos man keep it up honestly makes my day to watch your videos
Great video as always!
Beautiful collection! It’s easy to see you really love those books. Really inspiring for a fellow collector!
Awesome content thanks for your honesty
Gem, your passion is infectious!
Love your videos. They taught me a lot as I'm getting back into comics.
Love the videos man !
The boys is great and as always, awesome collection!
I recently just started collecting omnibus and love your vdeos! Your videos help me out a lot, keep up the good work!
Man that’s insanely awesome!!
Love the vids, keep up the good work.
Loved this
Dope ass vid Gem! I'm slowly building up my omni collection too, you've inspired me 😂
I have been waiting on this info for the longest..can find this omnibus anywhere. Thanks love the collection
Awesome collection Gem. It’s a really good background for your videos and it’ll definitely keep you busy during your retirement!! Really dig your videos so stay strong in the collecting game and I cannot wait to see more statues.
Great video. Found this really interesting
Congrats on all your success Gem. I dont know why but your vids always feel like listening to business insider. Kind of like getting tips from an OG
I love your channel so much, its amazing!
I love your content, man. keep it up
I definitely still amazes me that you got every omnis that's been put out. That background just never gets old.
In this day and age digital is king. When it comes to music, movies, and reading material. But, with people us, we still want a physical media and hold it in hand. Even though I've spent a lot of money on Blu-rays/4K movies over the years. I'm sure it's nowhere near as much as $30K
Awesome video Gem, thx for answering my question on the live stream, with this video 😊
Awesome video!
Bro enjoy your vids! Keep it up man
Love your content, helped me pick my first omnibus....keep up the great work!
The hustle dont stop. Keepin it real as always you dont see that to often.
Thanks for this man
Very interesting to see. Makes me want to go through and track my stuff...which I should have been doing all along. Easy to just let things accumulate without keeping track.
I’m not sure how close it was, but he had a video where he said he had like 638 at the time or something like that. So if we say he bought them for an average of 75$ each on sale it came out to like 47,000 some dollars.
I don’t own any omnis but from watching your channel I want to start collecting
Saw your channel grow. Really well done! Nice to see you reach 100K
Crazy man ! I’m slowly but surely working my way up on my collection !
Great video man really cool. At the start of quarantine I went crazy buying omni’s on sale on amazon to start my collection but now I’ve slowed down to collect single issues. Hope to have a collection like this one day
Love your content. Started checking out some tpbs because of you and now I’m hooked ! Much love
Good stuff, bro!
Your collection is goals.
You gotta spend your money on something. Why not something that brings you joy. Love you work GM
Dayum! Love watching ur videos always refreshing to look into the window of how collecting is in this arena. Thats one hell of a retirement plan u got going there. Props to u Gem
Love your motto of how your hobby should pay itself, and that's inspiring me to start something of my own
I added the total from the site and thought it wasn’t too too bad. But then I started thinking about single issues, CGC slabs, shelving, etc. This game really adds up!
Thanks for the info on making a switch on the omnibus. Great info like always. Stay minty fresh!!!!
Great video as always
Man this vid was really entertaining thx
