Great pick ups Mike. You can never go wrong on a trade if it's books you really want. I traded a she-hulk 1, nyx 4 and a SIKTC 3 2nd print all cbcs 9.8's for a FF 52. It's a book I always wanted and as a kicker the vendor threw in a Teen Titans 12 cgc 9.6 1st Batman who laughs. Collect what you love. 👊🏼
Mike your energy is great!! Thanks for attending!!!!
Thanks for putting on such an amazing show!
I always wonder if dealers check out other booths prices. Looked like they were all over the place in prices. In a lull of stuff here to do comic related.
I wanna move to New England now.
We’d love to have you!
3:23 - that's a lot of lunch money. Looks worth grading. I got lucky at the local Value Village once and picked up almost all the 1980 AD&D books, including the Deities & Demigods with the missing chapters. Bought 5 so got one free :D $20 CDN each
Looked like a really fun event. Congratulations on your pick-ups and trades. They are 3 great comics, and cross off a few more first appearances for your Marvel cards.
You’re buying things that make you happy. So what if they cost a little more than your intended plan. No one should worry about your pockets haha. Keep up the great content Mike.
I'm extremely happy you saw my buddy Threesixty Comics and got to meet Mike aka Pope of Chili Town. Both are great friends and some of the best members of the community. I hope to make it to Terrific Con this year to meet you in person you are one of my favorite comic UA-camrs. I think you did great on the haul. Trading books and using them to get the grails you want are such a great thing and The Fantastic Four 49 is not only one of the best Silver Age covers but one of the best covers ever in comics.
Did someone say D&D?!? My AD&D Player's Handbook has the wizard on the cover not the classic thieves cover.
Amazing comic book pickup!!
Mike, incredible pick-ups. What you spend on comics should be relative to your disposable income. In that sense nothing has changed with your philosophy. No we can't all do it. But it's nice to live vicariously through someone who appreciates the reverence with which we hold these items. Keep up the great content and thanks. P.S. Nobody sounded like they shamed themselves in the karaoke department 😅
Mike, stop apologizing for “trading up”. Haters hate to start from the bottom. You made connections and look for deals.
I was up in portsmouth for PMC40 ..I wish I had more time to tool around NE
3 books I adore. Would love to add any of those books to my collection as well. Great video mike!!
7.5/8.0 is realistic only if it didn't have the foxing. More likely a 6.5, 7.0 max.
I had comic spa work on it already and believe it or not he removed most of the foxing. I still think it’s a 7.5
@@lunchmoneycomics That's great, then the book could well be an 8.0 contender after clean and press. Fingers crossed that you don't get the same stingy grader that gave you a 4.5 on your Hulk 181, I felt that book deserved a 5.0 minimum if not 5.5
I think getting those incredible books the way you did still holds true to the ethos of your channel and your approach to collecting. You got those trade books at such great deals, you used them towards getting 3 wallet buster books 😂 Congrats!
FF 48-50 is probably one of the most famous and important story lines in the history of Marvel Comics. One of my favorites.
Congrats! Great pickups Mike
"This is my last huzzah"
next episode...
"Guys I know I said this was my last huzzah..."
Amazing Spider-Man #41! I used to have that book and about two dozen pre-100 books from the Silver Age, and a complete run from issue 100 into the 300s Todd McFarlane run. If I had held onto those books I could sell them now for $150,000 at least! But for personal reasons I gave them all away back when they still weren’t worth much, ah well, what goes around comes around.
Hafa adai(Guam aloha) Mike! FF#49 IS My All-Time Favorite Comic! You made some Amazing Trades for those 3 Grails! Yet, your FF 49 trade was Phenomenal! “Enjoy The Chase!” Back to the LMC Mantra! IslandJ
Hell yea Mike looked like you had a great time I'm bummed I missed it but had worky. You also picked up my personal grail congrats
Mike, I see you're trying to fill in "The Galactus Trilogy... I can relate.. Picked up Gd range copies of #s 49 & 50 @ $12 each. Still trying to track down 48!! That bloody movie!!
Great books all around and well done procuring them, BUT, welcome to the FF49 club and a beautiful one at that! Awesome as always my friend
These videos are confirming my suspicions that my old comics ARE worth something.😅
What an awesome environment of comic book community and great finds man! Definitely digging the fantastic four book! Congrats and thanks for sharing! Blessings!!
You made out with some great grabs, Mike! Moon Knight is my absolute favorite Marvel character, and WWBN 32 is at the top of my 'gotta have it' list, so I am peanut butter and jealous right now lol. Great video, man!
Outstanding pick ups. Very happy for you. I think it’s safe to say… your beyond spending Lunch money) trading…plus hundreds)
I saw the new SML movie called Brooklyn guy's clones 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😊
What an awesome haul! That Moon Knight is amazing and I need it. But I agree with you, that FF is definitely the best silver age cover. Kirby is king! I’m super stoked to have one in my pc. Now I just need to find a 48 lol
It's great the you bought that D&D book. To be honest, I would like to see you show off more of your antique collection. I recently bought a book from 1879 and it's my oldest book. It isnt comics but a piece of history. Im kinda bored with comics recently because i already exceeded the cap. I already have so many.
Just needed to buy that Moonknight 10 years ago when he was less cultly popular. Hindsight, I would have purchased a first mile morales for $100
Awesome haul of comics!! Great job of trading. I’m actually collecting the Werewolf by Night series and I still need that one. Hopefully I’ll get it soon. 😎
FF 148 slays. Nice trade! Thanks for sharing the video!
Congrats on your new Keys, Mike. Great deal on that FF49! I got that in a CGC 4.5 during the boom and the price on that book has really come back down a lot but at that price/trade it was a steal for you.
Happy for you Mike! Don't worry about some of the books being outside the "lunch money" price range, because obviously some of the real gems and grails out there are going to cost more, but are also an investment. Happy to see you pick up these beauties as much as you grabbing cool dollar books too. All the best from RI man, and hope to bump into you at one of the New England shows sometime.
Put the fantastic four 49 right next to your 48. (I know you don't want to grade stuff but for 48 you should make an exception).
Michael T Gilbert is an awesome dude!!! He and his wife who worked with him as well lived in Eugene, Oregon for yrs and I worked at a local shop here for yrs and got to meet him and talk with him a bunch... such a nice guy, I had a bunch of his Mr. Monsters signed in my last collection before I sold it out of need.
Absolutely awesome pickups! WBN 32 has been on my list for decades and I haven't bought it for the same reason. Glad to see someone get one for a good price
Awesome Mike!!! Can’t wait for you to start hitting the flea markets and getting back to your roots!! Love those videos 😊
Mike, thats the nicest WBN 32 ive ever seen. Youre a lucky duck!! Thats in my top 3. One day!!
I remember getting FF 49 in the 2010s for $40! Crazy to see what some of these keys are going for- glad I got ‘em cheap
Love Gary! We had him on our channel to do an interview...we do mostly sports card content but a lot of what Gary talks about is very translatable to all hobbies!
FF 49 is one of my favorite all time covers.
Great video as always.
I hope to get all three of those books someday, plus the Batman 251 you showed in your video. I also want to get them in a decent grade. Nice pick ups.
you got a great deal on that Werewolf By Night! Amazing condition. Great video as always!
Haha I just sold one of those AD&D 6th printings as well. I got it for xmas in 1980 and never even had opened it.
That FF book you got is definitely on my list of books to get. Great stores and shows over there in New England. Here in So Cal very hard to find deals like that….
Very beautiful books. That is the way for this community to work. Trade a bunch of books that one doesn’t really care for for some books that are epic great job.
Joe from Three Sixty Comics I’ve been to his comic deck sales. Got nice books from Joe.
Venom last dance in theaters October 25th 2024 and I saw the official trailer Mike 😊❤😂😂😂😂😊
Fantastic haul bro..and that Fantastic Four # 49 love it it's also on my list of holy Grails you lucky dog 🐶 congratulations 💯👍
Nice pick ups!! That was a good show for me as well. I picked up a few bangers myself which I was happy to get.
I loved this video! Want more ones like this if you can!
Man, the only show I ever get to go to is Fan Expo here in Dallas, and nobody ever wants to trade there. Awesome books you got!
Not a comic book collection, but love the channel. Great snag with the AD&D book.
Congratulations on getting your comic book grail! And in especially high grade! I’ve never traded up, but it was educational to see you do just that
Awesome video as always! It was such a great show that the 3MIB put on in the barbership.😂 Loved all the books as well as hanging out with you! I will say your tactics during the show were pretty good, I was taking mental notes.
Very jealous, Werewolf by night 32 is my holy grail and it seems like you got a pretty awesome deal.
Don’t live a life of jealousy. It’s just comics man. Dig into your family and loved ones.
@@thewalruswasjason101. “Jealous” in this example is a common expression that doesn’t necessarily denote actual jealousy or envy.
Awesome books. I have a batch of books I need to trade to get a grail or two. Keep up the amazing work. Love the channel
Is it bad I wanna come to USA just for shows like this. Really wish there was shows like this in the UK. If there is please let me know
Congrats on all those awesome books!! Id be a lair if I didn’t say I’m super jealous on 49 as it’s on my radar. Thanks for sharing with us Mike 👍
This was the second year i went to this show and drove quite a ways to get to it. Always enjoy going to this show and was great talking to you for a while Mike!
Great haul. I wish more dealers were open to trading. Hoping to do a partial trade for an Avengers 1 one day.
great video and that was some great trades and cant wait for more flea market vids, the spider man cover is sweet
You did extreamly well , so it totally fits your show on you tube I think
Trades may be the basis of the comic comunity.
Let the hobby pay for itself! Great trades, bro!
Congrats on the huge pickups!
That looks awesome and not far! I need to get keyed in on these events.
Kudos on the trades/deals on those big books!
awesome video mike. Rocketeer for the win!
Those are some amazing comics - I love them all - but what I really want is that old Player's Handbook ha!
I’d be most interested in the rhino, and FF.
Congrats on your grails, buddy!
Fantastic vid!!! Thanks a lot!
Players handbook!!! My run of D&D is close to my heart-
Love the ASM Rhino book the best. 😊
Three great books mike,nice one ! But being a DC guy I don't think I could've let that first John Stewart go ? Lol
It was so tough for me to do that!
great video, thanks.
You gotta fight for your right to party!
WEREWOLF #32.. spinee's a little wonky!!
Yeah a little
Mike, I love your content, keep it up. I just have one question, how do you know what to look for? There's too much for me to keep track of.
Just a long life of collecting, and even then I just see what I see!
Nice work Mike mate 🤘❤🤘🔥👍❤
Wow awesome looking show, I would love to have that Batman #251 you showed a couple times. Great video!
Yeah I was looking at them because I want one someday, such a cool book!
I was just thinking, man, I hope Mike posts a new video today, and here it is!!! Thanks for always uploading and brightening my day.
Every Monday! Even if I have to move things around I make sure to have one every Monday at 1:00 EST so you guys can count on it!
Gourmet Dinner Comics
FF 49? Mic drop. Very nice.
Congrats on the FF!!
Hello buddy ❤❤❤❤😂
Fantastic pickups
did you win any of the raffles/what did you put your tickets in?
Haha no I didn’t win anything. I don’t remember what I put the tickets into, probably the older stuff
Amazing haul!!!
Awesome scores!
Awesome books!
Coolest shows!
GROOVY!!
Today is national egg day 😊❤❤❤🍳🥚🍺🍹🍸🍗🍪🍦
When you have all the run-follers.... the BIG BOOKS come along screaming at you ' GET ME.....Get me!!
nice show. is this happening again next year?
As far as I know, yes!
Wow! That’s a great price for the comics ya got. Are you planning on having any of them graded? Also, what’s the story of the X-men pic on display behind ya? Is it an animation cel or a print of some sort? I’ve wondered about that since I’ve subscribed. Can’t wait to see your flea market finds. Safe travels
Great event! Great comics! Thank you for the awesome comic video!
