Love the silver age mate. Nice grabs. I agree, F4 books are only going to increase. There is a beat up ASM 69 near me that I am thinking about adding. I picked up a huge silver haul recently at a small con. Worked out so cheap, per book. May the comic gods continue to smile upon you!
Ended up buying Avengers #118 defenders cross over 8.5 and Avengers #64 7.0 raw graded both were $45.00 each and got them for $80.00 Canadian. Your videos are cheering me up after my mom in care home whole building Covid break out. Hopefully see her soon been three weeks as her health declining with cancer and dementia.
You definitely got value plus more! FF #66 is Him first appearance and first camo. And #67 is Him's first full story. Stay safe my friend and walk with goodness.
Early FF goodness! (1st Deathlok / 1st George Perez) , classic Spidey cover...and cool Indy Jones 1 with John Byrne at the helm...you know I think you did well..
Jason on Sunday I have a choice to go to a comic store that’s having 25% off silver age books and there’s a con charging $35 to go to. Which would you go too.

Nice books mate, no clue if you got your money's worth, you paid it so it's up to you to know if you feel you have or not I reckon, subjective I mean. I got confused, at one point I thought you were getting free books, then the title says $50 but you say $200 but I'm not sure what is what now haha all nice comics though & I hope you feel that it was money well spent
Nice books JP !

Hi Ronald. Get those silver age books. Sellers at cons tend to put their prices up.
I'd say you got your money's worth lol good catch though
I would’ve cracked up if the pup hiked the leg😂😂😂😂
Ha ha.
Wow mate, I must say you have done really well with this. These are defo my kinda books, cant go wrong with silver age/bronze.
Thanks buddy.

I also wanted to ask you what you think of A better world comics and games in Merthyr Tydfil please Jason?
A better world comics is great. Some amazing silver age DC books there.
@@JasonParkerComics Cheers Jason.
Great vid as always Jason! What bags and boards do you use and where do you order then from?
Hi mate. Usually get bags and boards from my local comic shops in Cardiff.
I'm guessing it's a private hidden group?
Nothing comes up when I search on the book face.
I think it may be dude.
