I Just Bought a HUGE Collection of Comic Books... from a PAWN SHOP?! Great Deal, or Big Mistake?

- Hey comic fans! Going off of an online tip, I journeyed to a pawn shop in Connecticut that claimed to have tons of comic books... and I walked out with EVERY COMIC IN THE PLACE! I barely looked at this huge collection of over 700 comic books before I bought them, so I have no idea if I got my money's worth. Check out the video to see if I got an amazing deal, or if buying pawn shop comic books sight-unseen was a really bad idea...

😂 "I'm going to stop buying lots of comics." That's roughly the size of my collection. 😂 Awesome deal
80's-90's is most of my collection, going to read some of that Hulk and F4 this summer with my Son. I loved the struggle between Banner and the Hulk as they fought for control over mind and body.
YO thank you for coming into Pawn Nation!
It was an absolute pleasure
Thank YOU for the amazing deal! I’ll definitely stop in again sometime soon!
@@lunchmoneycomics I'm building a new collection as we speak
@@lunchmoneycomics Watching everything now yea you scored pretty well lol
Thank you for the shoutout and I'm really happy you found some awesome stuff in there
I think I am more envious of the Whalers jersey. Growing up in Connecticut they were the only pro team we had.
The Camelot 3000 story is excellent. Bolland art, I think. A huge majority of this collection appeared to be in great shape. Congrats!
I agree..loved that story & Bolland art
Camelot 3000 was the first maxi-series as well as first Baxter paper format comics from DC. Great story and amazing Bolland art.
Camelot 3000 was such a great story line. Too bad that the last 2 issues took FOREVER to be released, respectively 6 and 9 month delays !
great story and art!
I might be the only person in the world who absolutely loved 90s comics!!!!
I collect 90s newsstands 💪
As a 90’s teen I cant totally stick up for all the gimmick covers, “extreme” ism and endless X and Image books. That said the indie scene in that decade hadn’t been matched since the 70’s and hasn’t since then.
Wow $280 for all of them now that's a good deal especially the X-Men comics and Batman that's awesome Mike 💯😎
The ability to resist such a purchase would elude me 😂 well done Mike
Loved Camelot 3000! One of my favorite maxi-series of all time. Read it when you get the chance 😂
Brian Bolland art too!
At 9:55, see if you can spot Ray Finkle in the team picture? Lol 😆.
Very nice collections there, saw a couple of comics i have in my personal collection and some i used to have growing up in the early '90s.
That pawn shop in Connecticut, is cool to have comics there unlike the pawn shops here in NYC where i was told they don't deal with comic books at all which is unfortunate.
That golden age Batman Detective Comics stands out the most to me out of the bunch because of it's rich history and condition it's in, which says alot about how fortunate it is to be a comicbook collector.
Not only to enjoy the hobby but to appreciate it especially when it's a raw comicbook to be read other than it being slabbed and encased, sure to preserve the book in it's entirely, but then again how else one comicbook collector can even enjoy to hold such a raw book like a golden age comic to actually experience it?
Don't slab it but display it raw nicely away from sunlight to where it can be decently preserved in a way it can be appreciated.
Cool review.
The 11 year old you described resides in all of us. Great purchase Mike.loved one of these things is not like the other 😂.Congrats
How exciting! Let’s make some room for some more books! ❤
Those little mini comics were published by Gold Key/Western Publishing. They're listed in the Overstreet Price guide in the 'Promotional' Section under 'Dan Curtis Giveaways'. They're reprints, but they're pretty cool. Great haul, a lot of interesting stuff! As a Maple Leaf fan, I will try not to hold it against being a Bruin Fan. It appears the Leafs are going to lose to them AGAIN. Sigh.
That Detective comic was worth the price of the entire collection. Grate purchase!
Lots of great Books great deal. Really Love those Walt Simonson Thors, They are amazing reads best Thor run for me
That's awesome to see that many comic books in a pawn shop. I've never seen comic books at a pawn shop before and you came out with a whalers Jersey. Fantastic finds. Mike
Very nice. And you made a connection. Definitely worth the time and money
Awesome video! Glad I finally got around to watching, so many great books! I wouldn’t know what to do with that many books or where to put them.
Some of my best finds were at pawn shops. Great stuff.
What a great comic book collection and haul! Congrats man! Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve learned so much about what you bought. It will help me in sorting what I’ve got. Thanks
great video as always! and that Whalers jersey is AMAZING!!!
Wow, what a great deal!! You definitely came out on top, man! Great video, as usual!
I loved the update Mike. I've been a big fan of the Valiant universe. Thanks for giving them a little love. I thought the characters were great. You ended up with a great deal. I agree on purchasing a collection, there is a thrill and excitement of the possibilities. Similar to opening up a pack of cards too.
Great purchase! I agree that going through the collection is fun…a great time to appreciate each book.
Great buys Brother. Love that box of chocolates! Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️💯💯
Great pick. Bet it was fun going through them all. I inadvertently bought a Dave Stevens comic recently. I know nothing about him other than from your channel and wasnt seeking him out, i'm more into collecting graphic novels than comics. My kids are really into King King and Godzilla at the moment with the new film out and i found a king kong comic in a charity shop. Thought they might like it. They were very underwhelmed as Kong didn't look the same. Anyway i decided to keep it for myself and looked it up online and it turns out its a Dave Stevens cover from 1991.
Great pickup! Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. My favorite book ( like its any surprise with my avatar) is the detective comic you picked up. Look forward to the next video!
Was surprised to hear you haven't read Miller's Man without Fear. You need to put that on your to do list.
Nice! That long box of X-men comics alone makes the haul worth it and to top it off, you have a Golden Age Detective Comics! 👏👍
awesome collection - the funnies stuff were my faves but also intrigued to see MS Tree which I loved in its day.
Awesome Lunch money! I recently bought a large collection of comics myself. Been selling them off and keepng the good stuff. Great buy!
Really would love the 3 joker's I. Been after them for ages
Anti Hero pile. Love it. Great jersey. That signed book. Wondering if you could cut off the front cover and frame it. It might make a great gift for one of your friends or something to hang on your wall if you have room. Those small comics are cool. People love horror comics and these are super cool. I think from 60s or 70s. Definitely something to bring to a show and put out for $5 each. I think it would make people stop and look at your table or both. I love Dead On Dave. I have now subscribed to him. If I am ever out there I will stop at his store. He seems like a nice guy. Omg just got to the point in your video with the wedding couple. Take it as a wedding gift. I could see that coming. Kudos to you for that. DC war. They sell pretty good these days at the antique mall especially the Sgt Rock ones. Great video Mike. I love miss Tree. Private eye stuff. She kicks butt. Mike check out the Batman vs the FBI book. One of my favorites. And the golden age Batman. That will look good on your wall. Great video
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I love you too!!!
The Disney Exxon comic was actually given out at Epcot at the old Universe of Energy pavilion. I still have a few somewhere.
Great video!
Kool grab, I love those Grimm's Ghost Stories mini comics, that whole run is my guilty pleasure 🎉
I’d buy it in heart beat. Xmen, fantastic four, hulk, Spider-Man, captain America, Thor, etc, I am in.
I don’t have most of these
Jimmy Olsen has a KIRBY SUPERMAN on the cover!! And I believe that world's finest Batman v Superman cover is Neal Adams.
Amazing deal!! Nice pick up! Also, as a life long Bruins fan, I love the old Whalers jerseys and am envious! that playboy issue... priced from 20.00 all the way up to over 4k!!!!
epic haul, Mike. congrats on that whole collection, bro. congrats on reaching over 12K subs now.
Wow. I had that Mickey & Goofy EXXON comic. It was handed out at the Universe of Energy at Epcot Center, a pavilion in the eastern half of Future World. It took you on a ride through a prehistoric world, with animatronic dinosaurs. People still recall the smell of the ozone, and the mist. You just took me back to the very late 1980s/early 90s!
You broke Roger’s Heart with that Whalers Jersey😂
WOW!!what awesome pickups bro
Those 100 page DC books came out during Covid. They were available at places like Walmart. Once Covid settled down I was able to get a few from my LCS. Great fun books. Tons of titles!
Hey man, sweet pick up I was wondering about that Miami Dolphins team photo is Ray Finkel in it
I bought a similar collection when I first got back into comics. It really is the nostalgia that sucks you in, isn't it? I told myself when I bought that collection I was going to sell some of the books to recover some of my loss. Long story short.... I've sold nothing lol.
Great find!
Nice grab! I have been enjoying the channel. Makes me want to get back into the hunt.
Great pick up Mike. Getting to fill in a lot of X-Men books. Some nice minor keys. Cool golden age Batman book. My favorite was the Static, awesome character. I loved the show and I have been trying to collect more people of color characters. That book was on my radar but the price spiked a little. I think it's come back down a little so maybe I'll look into it again. Smart not to haggle on price for a 1st transaction. This may be the start of a new plug. 👊🏼
"open them up and flip through, and see that magic pop off the pages" Litterally 😅. Great haul as always and it was just what i needed when opening up a package of comic books.
Great video, that looked like fun, u got a great deal
Camelot 3000 is a fantastic story. Why they are not popular is because the last 3 books took more than one year to appear. For a monthly it’s not good 😉
Amazing get! I'm not a Collector-Buyer, but I would have picked that deal up in a heartbeat, even without that last Batman treasure! Camelot 3000 is fun, I'm starting to appreciate the old Valiants, nice Shazams, nice cards, just lots of good stuff! Kudos!
Great looking collection 👍
I'm still looking for my 1st collection to buy.
Would love to get a good deal like yours. Congratulations 😊
Nice whalers jersey. Even nicer purchase!
Great lot of books, but that Golden Age Detective? Oh, yessir! Hope you had a great Free Comic Book Day!
You were right on, that Whalers jersey was the best part of your deal. One of the best sports team logos ever. Nice finds!
Joe Jusko is my alltime favorite artist. Love his fantasy style
Awesome collection pick up.
What a great comic book deal.
It might be worth doing a little research on those early Valiant Comics, as certain key issues still command high prices.
What a fantastic deal!!!! Then the GA book to boot!!!! You should let Jerry the Jitterbug work on that. Those Marvel team ups looked great! I'm working on a run of those and the Marvel Two in One. Again, Fantastic find, so happy for you!!!!!
Yes I agree about feeling like a kid again..happy for you
The Alan Davis Batman and the Outsiders are really cool!!.... Nice pull on the old school Detective Comics
Congrats! Dave Steven’s did some work on a few of the Crossfire books. Check to see if you have the Elvis cover! Great pickups 👍🏻
You done good! Loved the video❤
your enthusiasm made me subscribe. love this one and I'm impressed with the deal. are you selling the Popeye comics- I collect Charlton books!
Great collect. So cheap for $280. Seems like a no brainer. The golden age comic is a nice bonus.
I have a signed copy of that X-Factor 71. My Mom got it for me off of HSN when I was first collecting comics 😊
Me too! My son and I each have one we had Larry Stroman sign at a comic show. It’s a cool book
And I thought I had a bargain picking up civil war 1-7, the amazing spiderman civil war,umbrella academy #1 and some hulk Comics all for £17 Inc shipping. Great find Mike.
Great score! ⚡💥🎉
I think the Playboy issues would definitely have some value given their excellent condition and that they are celebrating the magazine's 50th Anniversary. As a younger person I bought a few issues of Playboy but only so I could read the articles.
The minicomics are part of a series of self-contained reprint giveaways. Dan Curtis Giveaway comics were published by Western around 1974, with nine 6" x 3" mini-comics printed and intended for use as bubble gum premiums.
Walt Simonson's run remains one of the greatest Thor runs in the title's history.
The 100-Page Giants were sold in Walmart stores I believe and really are great value, each one is about 80% reprint of recent stories but there's at least one new story in each issue.
Camelot 3000 is excellent, and all stunning Brian Bolland art. For those of us who read it when it came out though, its irregular printing schedule meant that we had to wait months between issues of what was ostensibly a monthly title.
Darker Image #1 has the first appearance of Sam Kieth's The Maxx.
That X-O man o war chrome cover has the ivory valiant trade. Thats considered a misprint.
Fun stuff to go through
Mike, you got to read that Camelot 3000! I had the Trade of that as a kid and just got the full run in single issues. Absolutely loved the story and art back then. I think the Arthurian theme is what drew me in. I'm sure you like it.
I am so jealous about the battlestar galactica, just not available in the Philippines :(
39:49 is so true. I share that with video games. :) You got a good deal!
The X-Men box alone is worth more than you paid, but some other really cool stuff as well.
Nice Whaler's Jersey! We got em in North Carolina now.
this was a great pick up for sure i want to run across a deal like this
Dave Stevens covers are $$ nothing crazy but still , great artist
I love those Bronze Age Shazam books! Idk why but I got a few of the keys and now I feel obligated to get the run lol
Nice addition and a great price to add to your collection. I’m sorta new to your channel and have yet to hear you mention Wizard magazine. I was curious did you read that magazine and what your thoughts on it is. Keep putting out awesome videos. Blessings to you and your family
Absolutely loved Wizard as a kid, though I don’t really seek them out now
Lived and died by my inquest magazines. Wizards’s was a close second for me😂
With that golden age book you got a steal of a deal.
Stop simping to his bad purchase.
@@user-zh5lj1ec4k you seriously must have a terrible life kid, i know ur a lil kid cuz no grown man says simping. it wasnt a term until recently.
so youre a child who's on a semi smaller comic book channel being a lil pos to random people... youre not going to be successful in life and you for sure dont have many friends... but its not to late to grow TF up and maybe having a life thats better than being a gas station attendant may still be possible. im 45 yrs old. ive seen what the lil pos kids turned into as adults, literally the biggest losers of us all.
i doubt you will change and you will no doubtingly grow up to be a loser, soooo thats cool.
There are so many great comics there! Camelot 3000 isn't just a whacky premise, it's actually a genuinely great read. Those Walt Simonson Thor comics are really good too. If I were you, I'd go through those Valiant books and pick out all of the pre-unity issues. The print runs on them were low so if there's ever nostalgia for Valiant (it could happen ha!) they're going to be worth something, and they're also great reads too!
Died laughing when you your talked about not buying comics then bam 700 more
Books 😂 the playboy books and cards are awesome
Not gonna lie, I felt something move watching y’all sort those books into piles. So good, lol.
Those mini comics are so cool. I know the twilight zones are from 77 worth about 5 bucks a pop. Im going to assume the rest are around the same time period
I got that same issue of that Giant Superman on your floor . It was from "Santa"(older Sister) for Christmas that year. My twin brother got the Shazam Treasury.I wore that book OUT. 😂
Great memory's. Thanks.
Would love to get that Treasury Superman from you. Fair price + shipping?😁😇🤡
I remember small horizontal comic books like that from the 1960's growing up. The ones I remember were westerns and they came with a new pair of Lee jeans ot Levi? I can't remember for sure. I think they were in the back pocket of the new blue jeans.
The small comics where put in a vending machine in a globe two inch container with a pop off lid. Remember those in the vending machines in the 1970s.
GO WHALERS!!!
Awesome video mike! 🤙
Nice pickup Mike. Send that detective comic to Jerry the jitterbug I believe he can help it from further damage.
Nice pickups Mike, I actually need from your assorted pile the Rawhide Kid 93 and Two-Gun Kid 105 for my collection.
PS did you read the Transformers #1? I'm still waiting for your opinion
Omg this is sweet!!!
I bought a collection of 8000 found in someones loft. late 80s early 90s. A few good ones but nothing major it was a lot of work to go through.
I hope Comic Spa can help with that Detective Comics. That one NEEDS slabbed to save it.
And i pinch and zoom to see Detective Comics 182... yeah, as a collector of batman, i must say, why can't this happen to me? I've seen that go coverless for 60.
Random is SUCH an amazing character, it's a shame they haven't done anything with him yet !!!!!
Those 100 pages of dc was from Walmart, loving the old Superman, Shazam, Cap, marvel team up and of course Batman.. you will like the Daredevil . New Britain was my old hometown. Born and raised in Springfield Ma, but in between lived in New Britain. You got an awesome haul . Harada was the villain
Try freezing the Vampirella Book, it works with sticker on books it might work with this book
Great buy. Above average random comics lot. If I was buying them, my concern would be that I usually read any issue I hadn't read before. I read Camelot 3000 years ago and loved it just for the Bolland art since he normally only does covers. What was I most interested in? the bronze age Flash issues because I am trying to upgrade my Flash run and on the hunt for. I purchased the Golden Age Wonder Woman h/c and found them a bit cringeworthy so I wouldn't be that excited about the Sensation Comics. How many times can she get tied up? As for the cards, they just bum me out. I purchased some that were mostly DC and had them stored away. When I checked on one of the slick-faced sets they had become a block of cardboard from moisture. I have not looked at the rest of them since then.
