I think almost all of these have gone up in value since I did this video. I need to do another one like this again, one day when I have a studio for my comics I will be able to do content like this all the time.
Yeah when I originally did this video, I picked that window because I felt like that is the most common era of comics you see when you are out and about looking for comics at garage sales and other locations.
I really do, once the weather warms up and I am itching to go out hunting for comics I will make a few of these to refresh my knowledge and to share with everyone.
Thanks for the list. Been collecting trading cards for a long time and just got into comics. I found new mutants 98 for a buck. Definitely happy to have it.
@@popfuntoplay Yeah, I was very lucky to find it. I also found a few good ones last Saturday (spider 361-362, infinity gauntlet run, goon 1-5, y the last man 1-40, to name the better ones). Y the last man has an interesting premise. Also found a bunch of 90s to early 2000s wolverine. Paid 65 for a long box full of comics. Super happy with the buy.
Thank you for the video please make more like this one. And Any Side Info You Say Is Entertaining. And Definitely Find Those Comics That are Run of The Mill..But Worth More. Because Thats The Percentage Of Your Audience That Are Needing That Information.
i have learnt more about pop culture this week going through your so enjoyable videos ( i havent seen like half of the videos yet so its like a virtual treasure hunt for me) than the last 4 years i am trying to collect things i like from pop culture by myself. big big thanks. and the viewing party continues.
Yes that is definitely one to look for, I was thinking about including it on the list but it seems to sell for $8-$15 at this time but sometimes seems to pass the $20 mark. I really should do a second video with the $8-$20 comics from that era.
Great video, I will continue to watch for the entertainment value but I have been looking at yard sales and flea markets for 10 years and have never found any of these books for anything less than the actual value
Low to mid-grade Bronze Age and 80’s in any grade are a great target for new collectors. I like your range; it includes all the crap that nobody wanted that will ironically be valuable in the future.
late 70s through the 80s has tons of awesome comics to pick up in decent prices and the most expensive keys are still within reach of most collectors so its an affordable hobby to collect that era.
I might be wrong, but isn't Nextmen 21 the First Color Appearance of Hellboy, not the first appearance that you mentioned? The character first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics no. 2 (August 1993), published by Dark Horse Comics.
Just found your channel, and so far loving it! I came for the comics..been having the itch to come back into comic collecting and find it real cool to see all of your thrift shop finds! Makes me want to go hunting and find some!! This list helps this noob out when I do go out hunting!! Quick question thou?? How do you track what you have?? Do you have a app that keeps track?? If so what is it called?? Any ways just subbed to your channel, and look forward to your finds!
Awesome, I am happy you have been enjoying my content. I am really bad at using an app to track everything because I buy too much in the form of collections that I tend to just sort the collections into what I have already and sell off the duplicates. I also keep both newstand and direct editions of comics or any covers that have weird printing errors or colors. So its nice to compare the new stuff to what I have already plus I upgrade when I get better condition. It is not really practical but its how I do it. I know a lot of people use the clz app so that may be something to give it a try. You can enter 100 comics in the demo and I think you can buy the full thing with unlimited tracking for $15. I tried it and it was pretty good, it took a little too long for my tastes though so I rather spend time sorting them instead of entering in what I have. I think eventually I will make a spreadsheet on excel and just make lists of what I need more then what I have already since that list would be smaller for a lot of runs lol But when I am out hunting for comics at garage sales and junk stores If the price is right I grab everything I know has some value, anything older or anything I know I need. I kick myself sometimes because I miss stuff but I buy so much I get over it fast. I think you can track on comicspriceguide.com as well but that seems to be a monthly price and not a one time fee. Thanks for the sub I appreciate it.
I have a Pop Culture store in Brooklyn, NY so I usually stick things I want to get rid of in the shop. I usually try to price everything a little under mycomicshop.com so I know anyone buying comics is getting a fair price.
Would deff want an up to date on wha to look out for when shopping for comics . I’m new to the comic book scene but I want more information on what comics are good reads but also valuable and not tooo too hard to find ty again . I love the channel !
Pop Fun To Play yea I’m a young man getting into comics . I love these stories so collecting these books is something I’ve taken some interest in . So even new books that just recently came out would be gold to get some knowledge from you on what to look out for . This video has been really really helpful I’ve picked some books up already
I have all of the Wolverine comics. Although #8 Wolverine with Hulk I did not. even though I had a subscription I had changed address and never got it. I picked it up several years later at a flea market boy was I so happy I did. I can remember seeing some of these issues at my local (20 miles away) shop. I wish I had the money to buy them back then but I was a poor broke kid. The # 8 Wolverine Hulk I got for $1.50 ish.
What I do is look at one title at a time on mycomicshop.com for instance Iron man then anything that is cheaper $1-$5 or so I kinda know does not have too much value. Anything they are sold out of or has a high price I then check ebay completed listing to get a good feel for its value.
I tend to buy mostly older stuff so it is cheaper. $1 bins at comic shops, thrift stores, used book stores. Ebay lots etc. I also buy from comiccollectorlive.com and mycomicshop.com I also hit up garage sales and flea markets in the spring and summer.
I love the time era listed because I love comics from that age, give or take! I just started collecting comics and I've found some decent comics, according to go collect. com.
I have that issue as well in my collection, I bought it 15 years ago or so when I was collection everything Geof Darrow drew. I still believe Next Men 21 is the first full appearance and the SDCC is 1st cameo with a couple of other small cameo appearances before the full appearance.
Yeah that issues keeps on climbing. Of course I assume that was a graded 9.8? That will be worth a ton more then a worn copy you find at a thrift store or garage sale. I have only find that one twice in my hunts.
I'm new to collecting comics. I have collected other things before like baseball cards, that would be listed as being worth a certain amount in the price guide but when you actually took it to a dealer, they would either want to trade or would not give you anywhere near what it was worth. Is that going to be the same thing for comics? Back then, we did not have eBay or anywhere online to sell though. Also, if you're careful, how much does it affect the value or grade of a comic if you read it? Should I buy comics for reading, and then buy a separate lot of comics for collecting (where you don't ever touch them, or are slabbed)?
A dealer will always pay you less because they need to sell the comic to make a profit. They are taken on the task and effort it takes to sell the comic and someone bringing them the comics are getting a portion of their value without the work. You can sell comics on ebay and get market value but it will take you 5-15 minutes per item sold so you have to take that into consideration. A comic can be worth $20 with 15 minutes labor or $5-$10 with no labor if you bring it to a fair dealer. And any comic that has a value under $5-$10 is not really worth that much to a dealer when they consider they time it takes to sell so lower value comics will get you an offer of 5 cents to maybe $1 each. You can sell comics in bulk on ebay etc but you will get closer to dealer offer price then full market value. So think about it a long box of 300 comics that are worth $3 on average could in theory make you $1000 but would take 25-75 hours of labor to sell 1 at a time and get max value and you would loose $190 in ebay fees and paypal fees. So you would get $810 for 25-75 hours of labor. So you might make as high as $32.40 an hour or as low as $10.80 an hour. If you bring the same long box to a dealer you should get an offer of $60 to $300 So you have to weigh if its worth it to spend the 25-75 hours to make the additional $500-750 or so. Most people have jobs and are busy to make a new job selling comics that is why they sell them to dealers. My advice, buy comics as entertainment and not so much for value, if you decide to sell and you get some value back that is awesome. If you are looking to collect for value then try your best to buy key issue for a fraction of their value since those comics will be the easiest in the future to sell. The bulk of comics out there in the world have very low value and really only sell well in a comic shop and not so much online.
I got the first 60 or so issues (including 5,6 and 24) of X-Factor for the UK equivalent of $10 at a flea market, or 'car-boot-sale' as we call them here.
nice video man so what do you think whats the value of x-men from ( series 1) 1963 i just started collection 1-66 in cgc cover how much you think they worth high & low thanks
Off the top of my head I do not know the exact value but its going to be high. If you check ebay completed auctions you can definitely see the approximate cost of each issue.
Hello there can you do one of Comic books from 1986 to 1999 that are from the $5.00 to 15.00 price range that are collectible or that thay are key issue or very good to have as a bargainer to comic book collecting
I find your video very informative. I have a Elf Quest #11. Do you know if its worth anything? I'd appreciate your input when you have the time. Thanks!
I am glad I can give you some information. The marvel value for Elf Quest is kinda low, if its the late 1970s magazine the 1st print is maybe $5 at best and the later printings $3 maybe. The Epic comic from the mid 80s is maybe a $1 comic.
I really should, I wanted to do a series of these when I first made it but it does take a lot of hours to research etc. I am hoping to do a few more when I can though. Modern comics to look for, more comics from the era in this video. Older comics etc.
Pop Fun To Play I’m glad to hear that, and I def can see the work and research you put into it! I really enjoy you suggesting the value of them also, really helps us out. Take your time, but not too long haha, looking forward!
I am not 100% sure which books you are referring too, if you want to know their value most books with a ISBN you can look up on amazon and get a idea of how much the books cost by the lowest listed used copy (Unless that copy is listed in poor condition etc then the second lowest and so on) As for the quality of the books themselves I have not read them so I am not sure.
I picked up Death of Jason Todd at a convention for 50p, it was in the 50p box and I asked are all the comics in this box that price just to make sure but was cagey about showing what it was and low and behold I bought it at that price.
Nice, it just goes to show if you dig in the cheap comic boxes you never know what gem might be in there. I just found Totally awesome Hulk 22 in a sidewalk sale yesterday for $1 on my way to the comic shop haha
great video bro. good info. know anything about a Spider-Man meets Captain Britain comic? I have the first appearance copy, but not the continuation of the story. I just cant really find any info about.
@@popfuntoplay definitely made in America. dont remember the number or which title (i.e. spectacular spider man/ amazing spiderman, etc.) pretty sure it was early to mid 80s (all my comics are packed away 😫). it's the only comic I can ever remember with a cross-over from an international property that wasn't being introduced because they were trying to introduce a run in America.
@@popfuntoplay yup! that sounds right! dang I've scoured the internet with little to no luck! you are the man! thank you. I never hear or read anyone talk about it, so I figured it was either completely mundane or kinda rare. never have finished the story line. money and time always seem tight, but I gotta try and find the conclusion, which I'm guessing would be issue 66. I collected comics from about the late 70s up until probably the late 80s when they started printing on high gloss magazine paper instead of news print stock and prices went through the roof. I used to know so much about story and character arcs. I could tell you issue number by story plot. sadly I have lost all that knowledge. thanx again for the help! looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I look at finding rare things like the Birthday Paradox, if you are looking for one specific comic for a good price there will be a very low chance of finding it. But if you are looking for a ton of more valuable comics for a good price there is a very high chance that you will find one of them every time you look. I actually still need that one in my collection but from this list I have found at least 70-80 of them for $1 or two at garage sales flea markets, thrift stores etc. And some many times over.
Nice job! Love to see I have a lot of these comics!
You have some sweet books then :)
First time seeing one of your videos and thought it was great. Subscribed right away, can't wait to check more out. Thanks for making this!
Than you, happy you enjoyed it. I need to make more of these lists.
Nice list of comics, I really like when you added why some comics are worth money. Thanks
You are very welcome, I am happy you enjoyed the video.
Did not even know "Batman Adventures #12" could sell for $400+! Good for people who lost track of the comic scene for decades.
I remember the First Appearance of Squirrel Girl Marvel Super-Heroes #8. She foils Dr. Doom in hilarious fashion.
Nice! As always, this one is packed with SO MUCH content. So many books in so little time! Almost all of these hold up a few years later too.
I think almost all of these have gone up in value since I did this video. I need to do another one like this again, one day when I have a studio for my comics I will be able to do content like this all the time.
Nice list,,, great movement.... couple key words..thanx
Your welcome :)
Excellent video bro thanks for the refresher and great info
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it.
Good list and I have a bunch of them.
Awesome list!!
Thanks 😃👍
Awesome dude! I took notes. Thank you!
You are very welcome.
1986 to 1999 is an awesome window...🤘🏼💯✔️
Yeah when I originally did this video, I picked that window because I felt like that is the most common era of comics you see when you are out and about looking for comics at garage sales and other locations.
Please please do some more of these. Books worth $10-$15 would be great. Cheers!
I really do, once the weather warms up and I am itching to go out hunting for comics I will make a few of these to refresh my knowledge and to share with everyone.
@@popfuntoplay my name is Tony Smith I am your number one fans
Thanks dude. I have 20 of these issues and I'm glad that I took excellent care of them.
Very cool! you are very welcome.
Thanks for the list!
Your welcome.
Thanks for the list. Been collecting trading cards for a long time and just got into comics. I found new mutants 98 for a buck. Definitely happy to have it.
Nice find, definitely a score. The more you know while hunting the more likely you will find those $1 New Mutant 98 issues and more. Very awesome.
@@popfuntoplay Yeah, I was very lucky to find it. I also found a few good ones last Saturday (spider 361-362, infinity gauntlet run, goon 1-5, y the last man 1-40, to name the better ones).

Nice video. Always good seeing video geared towards the little guy. Good job. 👌😀
Thank you. I like to help out collectors at any level so its nice to share knowledge with folks just starting out etc.
Awesome video! Thanks for posting!
Thank you and your welcome ;)
Oh God. Now, I need to sort through my old comics. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub, I hope you have some key issues in the collection.
Nice stuff. Go through a dollar box hun and look for key issues
yeah its always fun to dig through a dollar box and even more fun to snag a key issue for $1
3:27 he starts value
Tihee Brisbane no value. Bc you can find these all day long in 50 cent dollar boxes at comic book stores.
Thanks.
@@justinconn1301 maybe where you live but not here
Thanks
Thanks I hate when these comic vidoes ramble on, they should stick to comics, that's why I made my vid short
Thanks friend 👍 great video.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for the video please make more like this one. And Any Side Info You Say Is Entertaining. And Definitely Find Those Comics That are Run of The Mill..But Worth More. Because Thats The Percentage Of Your Audience That Are Needing That Information.
I definitely need to do more of these.
Yes my Coin Shop has a 1.00 Bin with great condition and or Vintage with ruffles and bent pages Amazing titles :) QC
Dollar bins are always fun to dig through. You never know what might be hidden in them.
Thumbs up for comic books!
Definitely always thumbs up for comics ;)
Surprised you didn't get more thumbs up :/
Glad you included Preacher, ArseFace. This Guy clearly grew up on Yancy Street!
Great video. I'm happy that I have two of the comics you recommended. Both Punisher comics issue #1.
Very cool!
Thank you I just started 3 months ago much appreciated hello from Houston!!
Your welcome, hopefully I can do a few more videos like this during the next month or two.
You seem like a pleasant friendly person. I enjoyed watching your video.
Thank you, I am happy you enjoyed the video.
Good video. Your video is pretty unique. Keep up the UA-cam hustle.
Thanks happy you enjoy.
Thanks for the info great vid!
You are welcome.
great vid concept looking back at 2017.
I think most of these issues still hold a decent value or have gained a ton.
Nice list
Thank you :)
I have betty and veronica double digest no. 20 and no.23 1990 all have plastic cover but i don’t know how much is the value help
I usually sell the digest for $2-$4 in my shop, not sure there are any key issues worth more then that.
Conan the Barbarian #275. Last issue in the run and end of an era. Nice vid.
Oh yes that issue definitely has some value, I think it was around $10 when I filmed this but I would not be shocked if its worth much more now.
Good stuff more of that!
I definitely need to make more like this.
i have learnt more about pop culture this week going through your so enjoyable videos ( i havent seen like half of the videos yet so its like a virtual treasure hunt for me) than the last 4 years i am trying to collect things i like from pop culture by myself. big big thanks. and the viewing party continues.
Super awesome, I am happy to hear you are learning things and having a fun time ;)
Great list and you can also find a asm 344 1st cleteus cassidy .
Yes that is definitely one to look for, I was thinking about including it on the list but it seems to sell for $8-$15 at this time but sometimes seems to pass the $20 mark. I really should do a second video with the $8-$20 comics from that era.
Very cool, you definitely got the $1 bin luck that I think anyone can have if they know what to look for.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you and your welcome :)
I only find Golden Age books at yard sale. With any luck these will begin to show around here??
I would love to find Golden Age books at garage sales lol
How about the first 10 issues to Witchblade and Cyblade/Shi The Battle for Independents 1?
I will have to look into those, I would not be surprised if the value has jumped on those.
Great video, I will continue to watch for the entertainment value but I have been looking at yard sales and flea markets for 10 years and have never found any of these books for anything less than the actual value
What a bummer. I have found probably 75% of these myself for $1-$5. Good luck I hope you find some decent keys soon.
Spawn #1 stand edition front bar code at front .how much value?
Its definitely worth more then the direct edition, check ebay complete auctions to get the best idea of what it sells for.
Awesome dude. Thanks.
Your welcome.

I have a lot of these from when i was younger just sitting around I guess I should get rid of em... interesting indeed.
You have some value then :)
@@popfuntoplay it never occurred to me they were special thx for pointing it out
I might be wrong, but isn't Nextmen 21 the First Color Appearance of Hellboy, not the first appearance that you mentioned? The character first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics no. 2 (August 1993), published by Dark Horse Comics.
I believe 1st full appearance aka hulk 181 and not 180
Or maybe not, its always confusing. I have the SDCC book I think its a couple page short story with him.
Nice video. Thanks man. Have the new mutants cable comic
Thank you and your welcome. Very nice, that issue really jumped up in value the last few years since the first Deadpool movie.

Pop Fun To Play New Mutants 87, Ironman 282, captain America 360 ,
I also got the deadshot DC comics 1-4 I love deadshot not sure if it’s valuable but I love the character itself
Dude you remind me of Napolean Dynamite's brother. Otherwise good stuff!
I love Technology!
Careful, we both know he's training to be a cage fighter.
How about Avengers annual #10 first appearance of ROGUE? how much it worth
Definitely a key issue that has risen in value a ton recently. It was about 3 years too old for the time frame I choose for this video.
I have all of the Wolverine comics. Although #8 Wolverine with Hulk I did not. even though I had a subscription I had changed address and never got it.

Nice, I have always enjoyed that run of Wolverine comics. I remember grabbing the first 30 or so 1 at a time from my Comic shop when they were new.

@@popfuntoplay thanks for the information.Just found a bunch of x men comics on Ebay.
super awesome.

Can you tell me anything about The Flash series? I have 16 books.. ranging from 1972 to 1992, various numbers. Thanks again!
Mike Mignola has stated that the first appearance of Hellboy is San Diego Comic-con comic #2, not Next Men.
I have that issue as well in my collection, I bought it 15 years ago or so when I was collection everything Geof Darrow drew. I still believe Next Men 21 is the first full appearance and the SDCC is 1st cameo with a couple of other small cameo appearances before the full appearance.
Correction... batman adventures #12 sold for $1700 on heritage auctions recently.
Thanks for the great info.
Yeah that issues keeps on climbing. Of course I assume that was a graded 9.8? That will be worth a ton more then a worn copy you find at a thrift store or garage sale. I have only find that one twice in my hunts.
Anybody know what a caliber crow issue 1, 1st print in very good condition goes for?
My guess in a low grade like that it might be $50-$75. I dont see any low grade ones selling on ebay so its kind of hard to determine the price.
Bought 185 comics for $40 canadian and most was crap but it including earthworm jim #2 and #3
Still fun to get a short box for $40
I'm new to collecting comics. I have collected other things before like baseball cards, that would be listed as being worth a certain amount in the price guide but when you actually took it to a dealer, they would either want to trade or would not give you anywhere near what it was worth.

A dealer will always pay you less because they need to sell the comic to make a profit. They are taken on the task and effort it takes to sell the comic and someone bringing them the comics are getting a portion of their value without the work. You can sell comics on ebay and get market value but it will take you 5-15 minutes per item sold so you have to take that into consideration. A comic can be worth $20 with 15 minutes labor or $5-$10 with no labor if you bring it to a fair dealer.

If you bring the same long box to a dealer you should get an offer of $60 to $300 So you have to weigh if its worth it to spend the 25-75 hours to make the additional $500-750 or so. Most people have jobs and are busy to make a new job selling comics that is why they sell them to dealers. My advice, buy comics as entertainment and not so much for value, if you decide to sell and you get some value back that is awesome. If you are looking to collect for value then try your best to buy key issue for a fraction of their value since those comics will be the easiest in the future to sell. The bulk of comics out there in the world have very low value and really only sell well in a comic shop and not so much online.
!More videos yes!
Just posted a huge comic haul video :)
I got the first 60 or so issues (including 5,6 and 24) of X-Factor for the UK equivalent of $10 at a flea market, or 'car-boot-sale' as we call them here.
Wow nice that is a score indeed.
hey man!! COOL vid. Thanks for the info!
Thank you and your welcome :)
Yes Yes!!!
Hey I have the Spiderman #298, #299, #300.
Nice, very awesome key issues from the 80s.
Thank you for the info. Great video.
Your welcome and thank you. I really need to do a sequel to this video.
I just put up my first video on youtube a couple of days ago. Check it out when you get a chance.
I checked it out, good luck with your channel.
nice comics books
😀👍
nice video man so what do you think whats the value of x-men from ( series 1) 1963 i just started collection 1-66 in cgc cover how much you think they worth high & low thanks
Off the top of my head I do not know the exact value but its going to be high. If you check ebay completed auctions you can definitely see the approximate cost of each issue.
Hello there can you do one of Comic books from 1986 to 1999 that are from the $5.00 to 15.00 price range that are collectible or that thay are key issue or very good to have as a bargainer to comic book collecting
One of these days I want to start doing a bunch more of these to make collecting easier.
I agree you should do 2000 to present I find a lot of them when I'm out comic hunting so that would be cool.
Any that you think are under the radar? I mean most people look for chew, walking dead, saga etc but I am sure there are some hidden gems people miss?
AS A NEW COLLECTOR, YOU JUST HELPED ME! THANK YOU!
Your welcome ;)
101 Comic Books Worth $20 or More That Are Easy To Find on ebay for $50 or more
Probably true many of them have gone up in value since I made this video.
great stuff! thanks !
Thank you and your welcome :)
I find your video very informative. I have a Elf Quest #11. Do you know if its worth anything? I'd appreciate your input when you have the time. Thanks!
I am glad I can give you some information. The marvel value for Elf Quest is kinda low, if its the late 1970s magazine the 1st print is maybe $5 at best and the later printings $3 maybe. The Epic comic from the mid 80s is maybe a $1 comic.
Thanks very much! :)
Do u buy comic books in bulk?
I do sometimes.
I watch this video all the time! Can you make a part 2 of this. Or even comics above $50 or $100. Or anything relative to a video like this. Thanks
I really should, I wanted to do a series of these when I first made it but it does take a lot of hours to research etc. I am hoping to do a few more when I can though. Modern comics to look for, more comics from the era in this video. Older comics etc.
Pop Fun To Play I’m glad to hear that, and I def can see the work and research you put into it! I really enjoy you suggesting the value of them also, really helps us out. Take your time, but not too long haha, looking forward!
Can I ask which HD camera you use to film this?
I use a gopro hero 5
what is your opinion on 3rd edition on garfield and 12th edition of playboy hard bound colored comic book.
I am not 100% sure which books you are referring too, if you want to know their value most books with a ISBN you can look up on amazon and get a idea of how much the books cost by the lowest listed used copy (Unless that copy is listed in poor condition etc then the second lowest and so on) As for the quality of the books themselves I have not read them so I am not sure.
You are a star.
Thank you.
You should do another one of these for a different price
I really should do more of these. Its always on my to do list, but its hard to find time to do them.
More of this, please!
I definitely want to do more of these more often.
Could you provide a written list that I can copy and paste to search through?
if I have any free time in the next few weeks I will think about.
Hello. Sir I love comics and I like to buy please tell me how I will get them.
Look for local thrift stores, used book stores and other places that might have comics.
cool video my man thank you for this
Thank you and your welcome.
Cool video if you can do an updated one for 2020 :)
Yeah I really need to make more of these.
I'm a nerd. The last issue of Star Wars, also has the first professional artwork from Whilce Portacio.
Oh Very cool.
I've been loving early Whilce Portacio, ty for this tip, I'll definitely keep an eye out!
I picked up Death of Jason Todd at a convention for 50p, it was in the 50p box and I asked are all the comics in this box that price just to make sure but was cagey about showing what it was and low and behold I bought it at that price.
Nice, it just goes to show if you dig in the cheap comic boxes you never know what gem might be in there. I just found Totally awesome Hulk 22 in a sidewalk sale yesterday for $1 on my way to the comic shop haha
Zen Intergalactic Ninja #1 published 1987. First appearance of Zen. Low print run.
That one was not on my hunting radar, I will add it to my next video.
great video bro. good info. know anything about a Spider-Man meets Captain Britain comic? I have the first appearance copy, but not the continuation of the story. I just cant really find any info about.
Is it a British comic that is magazine size or a US comic?
@@popfuntoplay definitely made in America. dont remember the number or which title (i.e. spectacular spider man/ amazing spiderman, etc.) pretty sure it was early to mid 80s (all my comics are packed away 😫). it's the only comic I can ever remember with a cross-over from an international property that wasn't being introduced because they were trying to introduce a run in America.
Could be marvel team up 65
Yeah I double checked that is his first us appearance.
@@popfuntoplay yup! that sounds right! dang I've scoured the internet with little to no luck! you are the man! thank you. I never hear or read anyone talk about it, so I figured it was either completely mundane or kinda rare. never have finished the story line. money and time always seem tight, but I gotta try and find the conclusion, which I'm guessing would be issue 66. I collected comics from about the late 70s up until probably the late 80s when they started printing on high gloss magazine paper instead of news print stock and prices went through the roof. I used to know so much about story and character arcs. I could tell you issue number by story plot. sadly I have lost all that knowledge. thanx again for the help! looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Where did you find Birds of Prey 8 at a flea market? It's the only issue of my BoP run in missing.
It's the first kiss of Nightwing and Batgirl.
I look at finding rare things like the Birthday Paradox, if you are looking for one specific comic for a good price there will be a very low chance of finding it. But if you are looking for a ton of more valuable comics for a good price there is a very high chance that you will find one of them every time you look. I actually still need that one in my collection but from this list I have found at least 70-80 of them for $1 or two at garage sales flea markets, thrift stores etc. And some many times over.
Great Video!!!
Thanks :)
