On Free Comic Book day I went to a giant comic book warehouse sale put on by Gary Dolgoff Comics, one of the biggest comic sellers in the country... and got an INCREDIBLE comic haul for an insanely low price! So then why was I AFRAID to make a youtube video about it? Watch the video to find out why, and to see the incredible comics that I brought home!

Seeing all the 90’s comics in bulk doesn’t surprise me at all! I really love your channel for your genuine love and passion for the hobby. I have collected off and on for several years. One of the reasons I quit collecting for almost a decade was because every book during the 90’s was expected to have tremendous value in the long run. Then the speculator market crashed. The potential value of the books I bought were my motivation then and I lost interest in the hobby. I sold most of my collection and kept only 8 books that I loved. Then the Daredevil movie came out and reignited my passion for collecting again. I’ve been a consistent collector since 2003 and have no plans of stopping. Several UA-cam channels were really helpful to learn how the hobby had changed, your channel has always been fun to watch. I’ve gotten tired of the speculation on movies and TV and collectors focus only on key issues at a 9.8. That was never the focus of my collecting, I actually reading the stories and following the journey of the characters as different creative groups attempted to put their twist on a classic character. Books that I collected more than a couple of decades ago are now the hot books that collectors are dying together their hands on. I guess to some clearly I’m naive by actually buying books that I love. I love the characters and that’s what keeps people collecting and reading. I’ve also had a lot of fun collecting facsimiles of books that I could never afford, I don’t mind being in the minority of collectors. When you drop $75-$100 every 2 weeks on books you give more thought to how you spend your money. At 50 years old, I think I’m a bigger geek for comics than when I was younger. 😂😂 Never quit being a positive person about your passion for collecting comics. If I lived where you lived I would have gone into debt buying what books I could myself. 😂😂😂
Stop beating yourself up Mike. I think you showed remarkable restraint.
I remember as a kid seeing Gary Dolgoff's ads in Both Marvel and DC comics. Thinking how amazing it would be
to order comics in the post! I lived in the uk so it was not an option.
No hyperbole, those prices were stunning, a little above cover price!
Great to see father and son sharing a love of the same hobby.
Keep the vids coming mate, in these dark times they are the highlight of my week.
Hope you and your family keep well.
Best wishes from the UK.
i appreciate your outlook on the community, cause i have experienced the bad side of comic collecting/scalping! i unfortunately dont have alot of money to pay up for good books, so i hate it when i see people buying them, and then reselling for way over what the book is worth! i collect for me, not to resell, and some resellers ruin the hobby!
You know he is going to resell a bunch of these? 😂 you think he grabbed 10 of all those. Comics at $3 each and he’s not going to resell?!?!
@@thewalruswasjason101agree - he’s going to do the same thing as other dealers/flippers. Buy low and sell high to make money.
I understand it’s a taboo subject for many people but this is how we can afford some comics we normally couldn’t: Get a good deal on a comic and trade/sell it for closer to retail (at a profit) to work toward owning bigger books. Most of us do it to improve our collections. We all do this to some extent. Some people lie, deceive, or take advantage of others to get ahead. Others grind to find great deals to pass along to someone else who is happy to pay a little more than we did. I’ve been on all sides, bought and sold at a loss and profit. Some of us have the means to pay for comics and never sell while some of us have to buy and sell to stretch our money to afford the keys we otherwise couldn’t. Love it or hate it, that’s the way the hobby is evolving.
Funding the hobby to fund the hobby. We all do it. What would be the point of selling at a loss all the time? If you’re going to sit there and legitimately think you would pass on any of these books, you’re lying through your phone screen.
@@dansxmencomicsNAILED it. I grew up in Baltimore,got my books at GEPPIS COMIC WORLD when Steve still ran the shop in Harborplace. Got to know him pretty well over the years. While I was afforded the occasional hint of what's to come or saw things before some folks,no real advantage till later in life. Been to Atlanta to the Diamond spring cleaning a cpl times... .25¢ a comic. Every. Comic. I was getting signed INFINITY GAUNTLET #1s for a quarter. Gaiman was there signing my .25¢ SANDMAN books we were given Platinum MILESTONE #1s.
I could have made a KILLING!!!
But sold 2 I.G. with the gold Perez sigs...for 12 bucks each. The rest were given away.
Same with Sandman issues.
Had free drawings for all ..ALL .the platinum Milestone books.
I got to keep my copies.
The 48 total dollars bought bags and boards.
Felt greasy to try to bilk the people,my FRIENDS, that I traded and bought with out of next weeks comic money.
Integrity in the hobby must be maintained!!!!
I really wish somebody would set something like this up where I live. So many awesome books. I don't know that I could have limited myself where those Wolverine books are concerned. Great video, Mike! And don't feel guilty or bad. Comics are for everyone, not just flippers
I would have ended up with several long boxes worth of comics! I LOVE 90'S COMICS! It's what I grew up on! Sooo nostalgic!
Mike you are a great person - never feel bad or question yourself. The community loves what you do and are blessed to have you in it. Hands down your channel is my favourite to watch and I look forward to hearing about the hobby.
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate that!
😱 This is Insanity 😱 Bro That Deadpool n Wolves Kubert, I have always loved & wanted that book. Gratz Man on an Incredible Show w/ Amazing Finds. -Cheers 🍻
Unreal! Thanks for sharing the experience!
Looked like it was an amazing time. I'm kicking myself in the you know what for not going. Things came up and I wasn't able to make it. Watching the books being pulled almost made me sick to my stomach that I wasn't there but happy for the people that did make it and got some great deals. Hopefully next time I can make it and not have to fight a grandma or a kid for some books. Lmao. Thanks for sharing Mike. 👊🏼
Mike great stuff and you are an awesome ambassador for our hobby. Please keep the positive messages out there. So many youtubers are grade queens "oh it wasn't a 9.6 I put it back" I love coming to your channel first because of the pure love you have for the hobby.
I say this with a tear in my , you're Popeye " I am what I am and that's all that I am ", A GOOD PERSON. Good conquers evil everytime!!!
Thank you for sharing! It's awesome to see you doing what you do best, being a dad. I can understand why you wouldn't have wanted to make the video. I am glad you did. Please continue to share where you find your books. I live in Az and have never heard of a show happening like that! Seeing all those books for only $3! That is insane! Please keep up the good work! You are appreciated, my friend.
Oh my gosh, so many Spider-Man keys! I'm so jealous! Those are some amazing books you picked up, and it looks like such an awesome show to go to! I understand the dilemma of posting the video, but I'm very glad you did. Seems like it was a great experience for everyone there. And glad to hear everyone was sharing the comics and being fair!
Sensational video Mike! So great that you could share that experience with your son. I totally get your apprehension about sharing that amazing source of comic book gold!
Congratulations! You are a little bit lucky with the comic book collecting hobby. And they say that luck is a combination of being at the right time at the right place, with the right experienced and a pocket full of money. You had all those going for you. Im sure you'll be able to trade and make other people happy as well.
I can't even watch this. So jealous. Talk about an awesome day
That looked like a really good experience Mike. Thank you for sharing it as there are many collectors that would love that show including myself
This might be the best comic haul I’ve seen. And I’ve been watching people pick up collections on UA-cam for years lol
Thank you for sharing. I understand both sides of the argument but I'm glad you decided to share. I'm a collector, not a speculator. I hope to visit a place like this in the future to fill in runs which is my favorite thing to do. Great video.
What an awesome show that is! Was able to make the 2.5 hour trip down to the comic show yesterday in Greenfield! Filled in a lot of my Spider Man runs.( 124 comics total) I had a great time at my first show and made sure to introduce myself to Magic Geeks! Was there a little later, so bummed I didn't get a chance to meet you! Maybe the next one! You are definitely one of the good guys out there! Keep up the great work!
I’m from Miami not too much collecting not too many places to look for comic books. You’re doing the right thing. God bless you. Maybe I’ll buy a plane ticket one day and go up there and explore again thank you for everything. You’re doing great job.
That's like a once in a lifetime haul right there lol, Seeing some of those books for just $3 is insane. Great video and happy to see your son there with you.
Great video, Mike! Ive been asked by friends before why I would, for instance, give money to a homeless person because of what they might do with it. The way I see it is that what someone does with your kind act isn’t your responsibility, but you not trying to be kind absolutely is.
crazy finds man .. btw 25:45 the upc box with the ghost rider image are 2nd print
Awesome video mike. Just catching up with it now… I’m glad you found a honey hole you can share with the community. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! 👍
Great video! It was fun just watching those books come to light, I couldn't imagine actually being there and finding some of those. I was happy to see all of those books being shared among the people at the show. I think you did a good thing for sharing this with us, and I hope to some day make it to one of those shows. Keep up with the awesome videos!
I’m happy I could share it with you!
my favorite haul of all of your videos , I love buying keys in bulk . bravo !
I think you are in the right on this one Mike. Based on the video, it seems like Gary's intent was to open the comic coffers and let collectors have fun. You and your son clearly did! No harm, no foul. :)
Wow, I would have had a field day there! Absolutely stunning prices for great keys. I sell the minor keys to help pay for the bigger keys because I don’t make that much. Great finds and also great giveaways down the road.
Wow! Just wow! That's a blessing!
This is a great video to show people these types of sales do happen and the hunt is what makes this hobby fun, at least for me. With that said, a sale like this can also hurt the hobby because it will flood the market with keys. Kind of a double edged sword.
Even if folks show up with hand carts to ravage the boxes next time, you still can only look through one box at a time. There is plenty for everyone. Fun thing with sales like this is its impossible for one person to get it all even if they tried. And its good for Gary Dolgoff, they more he sold the more he will bring out next time etc.
Amazing to get those so cheap
Best Video Ever…
Old saying, but still true
“Hater’s goin’ to Hate”
It was cool to see people be simply nice.
Stay Nice Lunch Money
Talk about a promotional opening!!! I wish I was there. You know people are going to talk about this for years to come. :0
It looked like an incredible time. The thrill of the hunt is the best. This event gets more copies out in the market, probably slightly lowering prices in general. If you did sell or trade your extra issues it is very likely that the cost is not the maximum set by some dealers allowing those that want those books the opportunity to buy for cheaper. Also, a lot of the time your LCS won't have a copy because it is a "key" comic. Anyway, ignore those that are grumbling as you invested your money and time to get your cool haul. Congrats.
As an old comic guy I believe I remember Gary Dolgoff having a comics warehouse in New York in 1970s...he was selling in bulk back then finding publisher warehouses of mint early Marvels from mid 1960s...probably for $3-5 @ back then. Now it is probably coming from comic shops going out of business and distributor left over copies. So this is not something new...its selling of excess stock and fortunately you are in an area where comics are more available. A lot of collectors used to buy up 40+ years ago...I know I bought extra copies of some books...X factor 1-10 were on my list ...:-)
That's insane!!!! Great pickups!!!!
Mike when I grow up I want to be just like you!!! Kudos my friend!!!! And maybe that sounds weird but it just seems like you are our friend. Jess
Thanks Jess, I try to be everyone’s friend!
Very nice. What a sale. Congrats
That was absolutely epic. There are many people who have hundreds of short boxes, but how many are filled with multiples of such great titles? Even though the price on these books overall was fantastic, three dollars can add up rather quickly. That said, I think it was very cool that you could do this with your son. I am comfortable in saying that it is an experience that neither of you will forget anytime soon.
Absolutely right, it was so much fun hunting with him and watching him get excited when he found these books
Omg 😳 it’s like comic book heaven!!
Looks like it was great fun. Wish there was something similar in my part of the U.S.
What an incredible sale. It’s unfortunate that you have to spend so much time justifying yourself and your actions. You got some great books at awesome prices, and what you do with them then is your business and nobody else’s. Thanks for putting out such great content. I love watching the videos.
Thanks and you’re absolutely right. I often feel like people serve an explanation, even though that explanation clearly didn’t deter many people from throwing me some shade. Certainly can’t please everyone on the internet, but I still try!
Love your content dude, all the way from across the pond in England...🎉❤
This was CRAZY AWESOME!!!!!!!
What's crazy is I have piles of a LOT of those books just like that in my garage 😳
Maybe I need to have a warehouse sale!
That is so insane. This is why I follow you, Mike. You’re always find these amazing gems around New England. Is this an annual thing? Open invitation or private only? Anyway, another great video!
Open to the public, probably every 3 months or so
I feel like there was a crazy amount of each comic. Also, I’m sure that was a small section of their overflow. They also might not let someone buy it all out.
Look I know I'm late, but here's my thing no matter what you do, or say there's always gonna be people out there who are gonna ruin things and that's just life but showing people there are other opportunities to get big things for their own collections and seeing other people get what they want us truly and awesome things to see like you with your Spider-Man 2099 or green lantern or even X-Men.... With that being said also don't forget the X-Men collection video 😊
There'll be no stopping your Trade box at the next Show...!!
This is crazy!
It was absolutely crazy!
Mike thanks for a great video. Keep spreading the joy of comics. Just recently reviewed my brothers collection after his passing. I would like to pass his 600 count collection on to the community but fear of getting ripped off by the local store. Would travel to have you review the collection for fee if possible. Live in eastern Massachusetts. Anyway keep the flame lit for the passion of comics.
Rosemary, send me an email at lunchmoneycomics@gmail.com, I’d be happy to appraise the collection at no fee at all
I can’t believe this video. Mind effin blown
We need this in Pittsburgh
Crazy warehouse sale! I feel like this is rare for your locale.
Mike, ignore the hate and criticism. You can do whatever you want with YOUR books you bought
This is for collectors not flippers. As a collector I wouldn't buy more than 2 copies. One to read, one to save for my kids. I have never heard of this place so thanks for posting. Planning to visit, but I'll be sure to leave just about everything for you.
I had an awesome time. Scored tons of desirable keys.
Happy to hear!
ya for me that is Carajo land almost 3 hours id love to see the area those comics, cigars, food oh ya!
Wow! 🎉⚡💥🔥
You are out of control! 😵💫🤭
2 of those Ghost Rider #1 are 2nd prints
Did marvel comics go out of business and this guy bought all their stock? Great haul my man!
Two of your six Spider-Man 1 "silver" covers look different than the other 4. Glare? Silver webbing ink looks much brighter on those 2. Variant or errors? There's supposedly a rare error on interior lizard character where he's the wrong color in this silver version of the 1st issue as well. Might check it out. Great haul!
Oh yeah I should look for that, didn’t even occur to me, thanks!
@@lunchmoneycomics You’re welcome.
@@lunchmoneycomicsI already looked 😂
Bro I would not trip on a little damage to those books cause you got a score that little to no one EVER gets a chance to score. Some of those books I paid $24-35 apiece and look how you freakin made out
I would’ve gone broke at this sell
Wow great grabs bro Wolverine 88 is super hot right now keep up the great content!! Some people are in it for the money some people are in it for the hobby.
crazy haul to bad i live in canada
Gosh! It’s clear this dealer isn’t the only one with this huge inventory of 90s comics. These Marvel and DC comics are virtually all worthless just like those 90s Image comics. Many of those books have been featured on Tom 101 as hot speculation books. I suggest buy the books you truly like but don’t pay over two to three dollars for them because there’s no future investment in them. It’s scary to think collectors are wasting their money to have these books graded and slabbed. Collect comics for love only.
So many books I paid waaay more than 3 dollars for... insane 🤦♂️
I never find anything like that in houston.. ever. This makes me so sad, because the comic community in Houston is trash. It's very hard to collect nowadays. I'm happy for you though Mike
Where is this place.
Easthampton, MA
@@lunchmoneycomics I appreciate this channel, very insightful, and yes i am the budget guy too, lol this hobby can be expensive.
Hello buddy ❤❤❤❤😊😂
oh wow, im so jealous! did you find a nova #1? i really need one of those! actually i would love to have any of the ones you found! thats awesome!
Nope, no Nova 1 here
I do get your thoughts on not wanting to share this one, maybe next time they limit how many of each book you can buy to stop people taking all of one issue straight away
(Whisper) Mike was one of those people.
:P
@@robertt9342 (whisper) then why did I leave so many copies behind?
Whoa that's the sickest comic haul I've ever seen for the price, wow, the first deadwood wolverine comics for 3 dollars you could sell them for 80 100 dollars each.
Dude, your conscience is clear. The sellers could easily set a 5 book duplicate limit per customer. Kudos to them for bringing those books light to keep the comic community excited!! Good job man. Collect on!
I had tears in my eyes Mike....that's the sale I've needed to find for the last 2 years. (In a very unique situation) LIFE changing sale.
Really cool you were there though,I honestly can't think of anyone who deserves the awesomeness more!
Absolutely the BEST comic sale i’ve seen anyone show us. Ever. Not even my wildest happy comic dream has been that good. Great show!
Gotta tell you, probably craziest sale I’ve ever seen as well!
Fr like Polly the coolest comics too
There were so many 90s comics that were printed it just boggles my mind
I found it unnerving how many copies of good books that are more expensive to buy all over the place for just three dollars.
The theme from Jaws should play whenever a reseller comes to a comic book convention
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. I been watching different comic book channels hunting type videos for a while now. Its always upset me to see them grab everything they see for reselling purposes. People like those guys ruined the hobby and the thrill of the hunt for me. Its good to see that you grab your share and left some for others to find. keep up the good work!
Those #1 Spiderman Tom McFarland are so expensive in Australia 🦘🌏
Tom ?
Must be Todd’s brother ?
@@roberthein2156 or I just have butter fingers
Your attitude about it helps it remain a celebration of a great tradition and community and as long as other people agree to protect it, we can all share in that celebration.
That looked like a great show, Mike! I can only imagine the ooh's and aah's emanating from the show floor every time a key was pulled out. I understand your concern, but you did the right thing in posting it. After all, this is about the love of the hobby. We can't control what others do, so there's no point in worrying about it. Enjoy the hobby and the connections made. Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on the Larfleeze book! I know you’ve been looking for that one for a while based on a video from a while back.
A few months ago I went to a 50% $1 and 25 cent bin sale and it was the same way. People would tell the people at the boxes beside them what they were looking for and we’d point out when we found them - AND if someone beside you noticed a good book in the box you were going through they would point it out so you wouldn’t miss it. So I think more times than not in this hobby people will help each other and make sure everyone wins. Cheers!
The last time I went to a show like that was probably about 8 years ago. Books were not $3 each. It was more like fill a short box for $30, long box for $50. The market for comics these days is kind of crazy... can't wait for things to crash back down a bit. Million print run comics are way too expensive and people find 'keys' in every little moment. Kind of out of control. Cool video though! Digging through boxes will always be fun.
Such a fun video! Was exciting to see what you got and found. I would have been frantic in that place. I would have also had so much anxiety like I was going to miss something.
that is an absolutely bonkers haul!! a huge congrats to you Mike. If you run out of storage space and feel like you just can't store all those X-factor 5's, I can help you out and hold on to one of them for you. I'm working on finishing my run of the original series. but seriously.. that show was nuts!! I'm bummed I don't live close enough to check that show out
That's a great haul. I'm not into X-Men as much, but still, $3 a book is an amazing deal.
Love it! Wish I still lived in New England where the scene is thriving. Here is the SF Bay Area the hunt is much harder with far fewer honey holes. Gary Dolgoff comics is a terrific company and I have enjoyed buying many many books from them over the years. Cheers and keep listening to your angel!😇
$3 a comic of majority of those is insane
Got my Batman book in today, the one I had you sign. 🤣🍺 I am the proud owner of LMC's first signature on a comic. Thank you bub.
Haha amazing, thanks for stopping by my friends’ show, we had so much fun!
Hey Mike, thanks for the video. My favorite part was seeing you build happy memories with your son. Regarding the other bits, you and I can’t control how Mr. Dolgoff wants to sell his comics (i.e., put on a fabulous warehouse sale) or how buyers (resellers or not) are going to respond. Honestly, if selling comics were my way of feeding my family and that kind of opportunity came along, I would max out my purchase power as well. It’s really up to Mr. Dolgoff. He could easily limit purchases to maintain a certain flavor to his events. Thanks for sharing the content!
A stack of minty Dave Stevens comics for $3 each - that's a steal...
Just goes to show you that these modern books are NOT rare. If this one dealer had this many, how many more dealers have the same stashes?
Exactly I've seen most of these books on what not go for so cheap people will call anything "rare" now days
That was a great turn out Gary had for this show. He has so many books I doubt it made a dent in his warehouse. But what he parted with flew off the shelf at those prices. Thanks for asking me to tag along. I hope he does this again in the future! Fantastic day is an understatement!
Thank you for being honest that’s why I loved your show. I would be happy just with one of each. Specially X-Men four and five. I enjoy my collections not trying to make money. The only time that I sell is to send books to CGC for me. Muchas Gracias.
