Horror is blowing up right now. SIKCC, Alien, Nice House on the Lake, Stray Dogs etc.
The reason that I like so much this podcast is that you share your personal stories. It feels like I know you after all this time and learning about the hobby through your stories. Thank you.
I thought Tom was overly goofy at first but I stuck around anyhow and now this is probably my fav comic channel. I like the long episodes, the interviews, and the mix of old and new school comics.
He's still goofy! Lol!🤣🤣
Proof there are great people in this community.🙏🏻Honesty is the only way to go. If you're not financially stable your word is really all you have your word should have some value. The more honest you are the better business person you will be. The more business you will have.
I love this podcast! I learn and I feel like I am chilling with the Homies!
"Like every day!"
I agree. Glad to have more imaginary friends to hang out with :)
@@gmoneyrocks1515 right really storyteller day f6
The Cat with the Really Big Head...reminds me of MTV's THE HEAD...lol.
3rd comment, I know... Anyway. Yeah, DC Silver keys are WAAAAY undervalued. Hawkman #4 in a 9.6 should easily be a $20k+ comic, period. Holy shit, there are only 15, yes 15 total, 9.8s and 9.6s on the CGC census, and 3 on CBCS. ALL Silver and Bronze DC keys, and even a lot of Golden Age keys, are almost criminally underappreciated and ignored. There should be NO WAY I could buy a Batman #20 (1944), in a CGC 9.2, for LESS than a 9.8 UF4 Djurdjevic variant, but it's true (I did it a month ago). It's so absurd it makes my head hurt.
I agree, I picked up a lot of dc keys lately.
Are the DC comics undervalued or are the Marvel ones over valued?
@@robertt9342 Both, quite frankly.
Comic Tom and Jeff I just got back into the hobby a year ago. Had my entire comic collection lost in the CA fires in 2016, in that collection I lost ASM 1. The insurance company did not except any of my comic claims because no receipts or grades! ASM is out of reach for me now 😭. So I was able to get the next best thing!
Btw every book I own is slabed and insured correct!
Please reply to make me feel better!
I am the proud owner of fantastic four 13 which has the first add for ASM 1!
Do you think adds for books inside books brings up their value?
Great show much love,
Jason
Aww dude that sucks!!! I’m your neighbor to the north and am in prime fire area
Think about losing all my books to a fire
Mm I can’t imagine what that must feel like tho
First of all, I love your videos. The information that you and your friends provide is awesome and I like the enthusiasm and positivity that you bring. You asked for stories of seller regret. My biggest is that I owned 2 copies of New Mutants 98 in 9.8. One had white pages. I bought them in anticipation of a movie. It wasn't coming and it wasn't coming and I gave up. I sold both for around what I paid for them which was around $300 each. If only I had at least kept one.
Biggest recent regret. 6 years ago I had a chance to buy Daredevil #1 8.0 for 3K but no I had to get into a relationship and they wanted to go to Scotland 🏴. Long story short Daredevil would still be with me today 😂 😭😂
My biggest convention shopping regret is passing on a CGC 9.9 Iron Man #1 ~7 years ago. I didn't buy it because the guy wanted $20k, which at the time was 3x more than a 9.8, and I just didn't know how rare the 9.9 was at that moment. Frankly, it would have financially wiped me out for the convention and there were other books I was shopping for at the time. The guy even had it in a hand-made custom display box and everything. It still annoys the hell out of me. 😆
Edit: Starting at the beginning of 2020 we had 26 copies of Hulk 181, and now we have 15, and most of the 11 we've sold have been over the last 3-4 months, when values finally reached a place where I was comfortable selling them. But I do still have all of my higher grade copies, VF and above, incl that crazy WP 9.8 w/ the hand-written date code.
Love the textures on the Johnny Desjardins covers, his paints got a chunkiness to them where I just want to touch them. Love his Haha clown covers and Out of Body.
I just ordered the virgin cover he did for Out of Body 1. When I saw it I just had to have it
@@gmoneyrocks1515 yeah the colors and texture on that painting are amazing.
@@Sal_comics I ordered it off of outer limits boro for $28.99 and they have an option for a toploader for a couple dollars.
Sitting here watching and my little voice in my mind Is saying you have to go exercise….but I am still watching.
Hey guys great content as usual!! Buyer's regret...when I was newlywed, my now ex and I were just starting out, moving to a new city (to Houston from MN), paying off student loans, this was back in 90's or so, I saw a Hulk 181 in NM in mylar amazing book for $200.00. But because newlywed, paying bills and my partner not respecting my collecting, I passed on it!! I'm still sad about that!!
A decade ago of sellers regret...well was a HUGE Venom fan!! There wasn't anything that I didn't have back in the day with all his early appearances in ASM 298 (9.8), 299 (9.6), 300 (9.8), 301 (9.8), Lethal Protector Red & Gold (Gold CGC Graded 9.8 got it for $12.00 and sold it for $250.00 for my then-wife's 40th birthday party). All his other limited series, and then all of Carnages stuff as well. (two long boxes full of Venom/Carnage and tons of unopened action figures). However, because I was so upset Marvel made Venom a "hero" that I sold off my whole collection bits and pieces and gave my Spiderman #300 CGC Graded at 9.8 to a buddy for a wedding present.
I will not make this mistake with my SiKTC collection and all the LCS store variants or the Comic Tom 101 variant coming soon!!
A more recent seller's regret was I purchased a UF#4 for $435.00 raw, in the polybag, a year ago and pressed it to a 9.8 CGC. Sold it less than 6 months ago for $1,100. I got cocky thinking that I could repeat it...bought another one plus other books for $475.00 just 3 months ago...pressed it, and now I own a UF #4 9.4.
I really try not to "look back" but these two instances kind of still stick with me and have learned not to sell my comics "too soon".
Thanks again for all you do for the community!!
You guys are beat, I can feel it. But you love it!! Enjoying watching you guys plenty. Such good stories, suspenseful and intriguing like a book of detectives. Much Love from NY!
Very much enjoying these podcast the past few weeks.
Awesome ComicTom thanks for putting my comment on the podcast.
Never put that soundboard away, Tom.
Happy the podcast have restarted
That Department of Truth reminds me of David Mack.
Enjoy you guys sharing your experiences.
Im a big collector of alpha flight comics sooo to see 9.9 number is amazing 👏 🙌 👌
Tom. You're looking tired mate. Thanks for the show/recording, but get some rest champ!
taxes are insane thats why i dont buy alot of expensive books anymore
I would love to have that CGC 9.9 New Mutants #98, it's such beautiful book
Just added yall on Spotify! This is awesome!
Man that moose comics shop in factoria needs to get some new books and lower his prices! I know his rent must be really high but be has the same books everytime I go!
Chilling with homies!
Love the podcast guys, I toss it on and split my time between watching and doing things around the house. Awesome discussions and information.
Seller regret has to be selling a Uncanny X-men 266 to half price books. The girlfriend and I were living in a small studio and had to free up some space. Little did we know that our copy of Uncanny X-Men 266 was in the short box we sold. Let’s just say we got next to nothing for it. Every time we see that comic on the wall at a LCS, we just want to cry!
I’ve taken copious notes on the various topics in this podcast! Excellent stuff gentlemen!
There's definitely a "spidey sense" you gotta possess for when it comes to knowing what you feel might blow💰up in the future...💯✔️
UAF unidentified aerial fenomenon should go on a shirt haha. Love when you 2 are chatting together. Would love more discussions on pedigrees and also what resources are available for checking book page counts and if they have inserts etc.
This is kind of interesting. I don't know why, but for my PC I kinda PREFER buying pre-code Horror in low grade. Most books in that genre look cooler/more authentic with considerable wear, like around a 2.5-4.5, even down to a 2.0, as long as the full comic is intact. Plus, of course there's the added benefit that they're a lot cheaper than high or even mid-grade, as well. So I can definitely say my 50's EC collection may not be "pristine", but I love them all the same, and I have some great memories of buying them at different shops and shows, all over the Southeast USA, when I was a kid. I paid only $40 for a VG Crypt of Terror 17, because I hounded the shop owner for 3-4 hours (he had it priced at $60), because it was all the money I had and I was only 15. 😁 To this day, if a teen-ager comes into my store and shows some moxy, a little extra tenacity when bargaining for a book, I'll cut him a better deal than I would for an adult. Because I remember how tough it was to be taken seriously when you're a young collector.
You forgot to mention the incredible smell of those classic books!!!!
For anyone who loves EC, I think you'll appreciate my excitement over finding Mad #22 (1955) at Half Price Books this past Monday... for $1.50. A buck & a half!!! I can't believe my luck.
Neutral Milk Hotel: in the aeroplane over the sea 🌊 classic alternative album!
Back in the mid-80s when I was a kid there was a small comic shop in a neighboring city. My mom would take me there every few weeks to pick up my pulls. One Saturday we walked into the store, and I noticed something interesting in the small glass case at the counter.
An Amazing Fantasy 15. I felt like Indiana Jones, and I just found the Holy Grail.
I was a rabid reader at the time, but I was just getting into the collecting side of the hobby. The owner let me hold it, and I just stared at it for a moment. I had bought an Overstreet guide a few months before, and I had some barebones grading skills. The owner said it was a G/VG, and my skills-meager as they were-lined up with that.
He wanted $100 for it. $100. One hundred one dollar bills.
I thanked him for letting me hold it, shopped a bit, got my pulls, and then we left. When we got into the car, I explained to my mom the significance of that book. I told her that $100 was absolutely insane for that book in that condition.
She said she agreed. She’d never pay $100 for a book that looked that bad.
???
Wait, had I just stepped into a sitcom where someone’s statement got taken the EXACT opposite of how it was meant? Yes. Were hilarious hijinks about to ensue that would be resolved happily in less than 30 minutes? Tragically, no.
I reiterated just how big this book was-and even back then this was a unicorn among unicorns-and how cheap it was for the condition. It was worth $100 even if it didn’t have a cover. My mom wouldn’t budge. She said it was a ripoff and that he was trying to take advantage of us because I was a new collector. She said he would come to his senses, and I gathered that she was going to wait him out and offer him much less the next time we stopped by.
The store shut down suddenly a few weeks later. We never saw the owner or the AF15 ever again. Even now, my mom still tells the story every couple of weeks to anyone who will listen about how we missed buying the first appearance of Spider-Man for $100. And sometimes I guess she’s just thinking out loud because I’m the one she’s telling. Yeah, Mom, I know. I was there. 😂
I try to make her feel better by saying that we had no idea how valuable the book would be someday. It’s a lie, but I still tell her. Because I knew. Any collector would’ve known. In a strange way, the book’s skyrocketing price over the last few years has made the pill a little easier for both of us to swallow. Because even I couldn’t have predicted just how big it would be, how huge the entire market would become.
If I had known, my fourteen year old self at the time perhaps would have dusted off some of the skills that the five year old me had mastered. Maybe I would have thrown a tantrum and rolled around on the floor screaming like an idiot until she gave in and bought the book.
And that would’ve been really pathetic-unless it got me the book. No, it would’ve still been pathetic and totally not worth it. Maybe.
Anyway, that’s my story of the one that got away. Thanks, Mom. I still love you anyway.
Super chill vibe as always. :) On a comic book storage note, it would be cool to see a video showcasing your favorite method to bag and board comics. For example, what do you recommend for modern comics when it comes to Mylar? Would you recommend BCW 7 1/4" 2 Mil Silver Mylar to go with BCW 7" backing boards, or...BCW 7" Current Age Mylar to go with BCW Modern 6 x 5/8" boards?
Those are all impressive books, but wow that newsstand GIJoe! I can't even fathom how that is possible, amazing!
That Giant size would be amazing to have my fav X-men first appearances would be just amazing. What an awesome collection.
Everytime I watch this podcast that Gambit X-Men comic in the background just keeps catching my I the one book I could never get my Eleanor LOL
Selling at Cons was how I use to do it but now I use eBay and Instagram, ask Guru for help! He’s got the Show and Sell show every Sundays!
I had a similar issue with CGC. I sent them an ASM 361 that I bought as a kid. I had it pressed and it came back a 9.8. it has at least 10 spine ticks and a little water damage on the cover. I'm not worried because I'll never sell it. Comics got me through some tough times as a kid and I wanted to protect some of the keys I bought back in the day.
I have a real bad sellers regret. When I was a kid. 12-13 yrs old. I was paid to clear out a basement. I got to keep whatever was in there. Found a closet full floor to ceiling of goldband silver books. Which I have most of today. 1 of those was an ASM #1. My cousins and extended family loved to fish. I wanted to be apart of those adventures. I traded my #1 for a used old deep sea pole. Which ended up breaking on the 2nd fish I almost caught.
2 hour run time, I’m all in.
Minneapolis con in 82'. Young guy had a small table stacked with only original art. Mostly 70's Spiderman pages. I picked up a John Buscema Avengers page for $12. Still wonder what was in that pile of Spiderman. I still have that Avengers page!
Thx for everything from Germany!
i see "an airplane over the sea on that shelf. woot!!!
Sweet I just found a UFO in my longbox, can't wait to get it graded. 😍
Mind: Blown. Now I'm going to be seeing 9.9 everywhere i go. It can't all be coincidence!
The packaging is dope looking.
Thanks for another great episode! Comments on starting in the Golden Age I thought were spot on. There is a ton of great Golden Age out there that is cheap and of great quality. Just look for stuff by Everett Raymond Kinstler...you will not be disappointed! (Before he passed away a few years back...I actually emailed him to thank him for all his great work back in the day. He wrote back and was very appreciative of the note! Too cool!)
I collect ERK comics, too.
You guys crushed it again. Those buyer’s regret stories hurt…
noooo... on chamber of chills, i think that's HIS reflection!
You guys should talk about on the show about different resources for new comic fam getting into the game to be able to check if books had pin ups tattoos or whatever on the inside and what books page counts should be. Love the content
Oh my god that set of 9.9s.... #goals
If I had the New Mutants 98, I would definitely be sending it off to be re-holdered with the Deadpool "9.9 Please" label.
I'm with you on Johnny D. I have Haha 5 on 6 ordered...may grab Out of Body merely for cover buy...and his TMNT 2 is sweet
That Alpha Flight 9.9 is so Yellow I need shades!!!
In February, sold a ASM 361 Newsstand 9.6 for $300. Clearly should've held until the trailer.
Ended up POing a CGC 9.8 "The Nice House on the Lake" to avoid buyer's regret.
The Elf lord story had me rolling guys
Wow that guy changed his shirt lol thought he given up on his appearances.
I enjoy your videos and purchased a 500+ lot of old comics from an estate sale 10 years ago. I had purchased the guys BMW a few weeks prior to his estate sale. He was an older guy and he had a ton of comics from the late 60's to the mid 80's that his kid collected. The comics were worthless at the time and I picked them up for $20. My brother and I tried to sell them on Ebay at the time 2011 and only a few of them had a value of like $7-15. I decided to not waste the time to list all of them and had my brother the comics to our local comic dealer. They rejected the pile of comics and said there was nobody collecting comics from those years. I'm in the process of bagging and backing each comic and will sell all of them on Ebay for an average of $10. Crazy how something that was worthless 10 years ago is now very collectible and I think I have $5000 worth of comics with around 20 hours of work to list all of them. I might submit some of the key date ones to CGC and I find it interesting that they charge about the same as NGC does for grading coins but the turn around times are 100 days. Is CGC the best company for grading?
I have a signed 2005 spawn super giant sized anniversary issue signed by Todd Mcfarland, with certificate of authenticity that I won in a raffle at Frank & Son's collectibles in SoCal, back in early 2000 he signed 2 different copies for me. great dude.
I just now started watching/listening to these podcasts and I already learned so much!!!
i had two coppies i gave my kids one and i bought them both for under 6 dollars tfaw dosnt like to give me keys when i want like 15 just cancle order and move on
Love the horror genre and have a few. But silver and bronze DC had great runs as well. Plenty for everyone.
And that beautiful Omega Red X-Men keeps catching my eye
I would want to go for the GI Joe if I can have one of those
This has been a great segment. I learned so much. I'm starting to think about moving some books. And just now gathering, bagging and boarding into new bags. I may try a yard sale 1st.
Great show as always guys!
I actually had a golden age horror collection I was working on that ended up getting burnt ironically, if you know your 50s Golden age horror history then you know why that's ironic.
Right around 2014 I was hunting at a local chain in San Diego, and found 10 copies of the bagged Ultimate Fallout #4 books, between 2 of their 8 stores. They were all cover price, so I bought them. Also, at these 2 stores were a total of 12 copies of the Djurdjevic variant. They were asking $12 a piece. I grumbled, because I didn't wanna pay $12 a piece. So, I grabbed the 2 best copies and grumbled paying $24 for the 2. A year later, I was unemployed and needed rent money. So, I sold those 2 Djurdjevic variants, an Incredible Hulk #180 autographed by Trimpe and Wein, a couple Edge of Spidervers #2s, a couple of regular bagged Ultimate Fallout #4s, and a few other things,...probably 15 to 20 books in total,...for $420. Because of this, I cry myself to sleep some nights. 😂😂😭😭😭😂😂
Growing up I passed on a Tales of Supense 39 in a mid Grade for $200 over $25 . I was haggling with the Comic Shop owner. His bottom line was 200 and I wanted it at 175. This was all before the MCU movies. He then offer me a Daredevil 1 in again in a mid grade and I turned around and told him Daredevil sucks and ended up walking away not buying anything. Sometimes haggling and egos will definitely cloud our best judgment.
How about unboxing regret? I was so excited to receive an Immortal Hulk #1 I rushed the opening with a dull knife. I cut through the mailer and in the process cut the bag and comic book. So sad. At least this was not some expensive grail. None the less I damaged a book with my impatience. Hope I learned my lesson.
Great show, love the conversation about horror.
A signature should hurt the books condition 9.9 lol it's nice to have connections.
Passed on a 10.. Why ?..... Because I was stupid.
Nice!
It’s such an honest assessment, and we all feel it time to time.
I have a true seller regret about 20 years ago I was at a yard sale and asked if they had any comics sure enough they had a box in the house that they do not know what they had in it were a ton of old late golden age and early Silver age books. I told them what they had and as a reward the lady told me I could pick any for I want it for free. All I remember is that in the lot was an FF number four the first submariner. I was so excited and like a fool ran to my local CS And was told oh it’s in bad shape and took $12. It was probably a 5 to 5.5 but me being as impulsive as I was sold the damn thing. Major seller regret
Yup I’ve seen the hype for Pokémon at Target stores. Same goes for G.I. Joe Classified Series action figures. Damn scalpers.
I tried to stay up to watch, but this was a little late for me haha
Just read Nice House, did not see that coming!
SO GOOOOOOD
I would love to have that GI Joe #1 9.9!
New Mutants 87 Signed by Todd would just be amazing🍻
Why? What has Todd got to do with that book ?
@@anthonyyoung6433 Rob Liefeld and Todd did the cover art
@@jackr9656 I didn’t know Todd worked on the cover.
i love all the content, keep it up yall
Great podcast guys! Keep up the great work!! 👍👍
Hey are these podcasts posted live on UA-cam?
The other podcast that I'm on with Tom, that one's live! We'll be live tomorrow (Thursday) at around 6pm PST!
I have mentioned this before in the comments but I once sold a solid mid grade DD 1 for $100 and at the same time a FF 10 for $100 as well. Really needed some cash at the time. Buts that’s not the worst I once sold an entire long box full of silver age FF and amazing Spider-Man for $400 there was asm 6,29,30,31,40,50,39,60-70,100.....and to top it off I really had a tales of suspense 39 at about a 3.0 in there too. This was in 2008 and I was caught up in a really bad situation and needed cash immediately. A month later i sold a combo of FF 48 and 49 for $250. Both were maybe a 3.0 but still. Biggest regret considering comics EVER!!! I can only image the value I had there.
Man I'm so Jelly! Personally i'd love to own the Giant Sized Xmen as its a true milestone of diverse heroes put into a team the world loves!
Secret Wars #8 was the Black Suit's second appearance.
So happy that you brought this issue in to the chat about selling your books and loosing out and being lied to .
Bought my copy of Ultimate Fallout 4 from the Guru about a year before it went crazy.
Hey Heeeeey! -just ran across your channel and whaaat!? -I know Jeff. heheh. I lived in Seattle (well, Bellevue) for 17 years working for the HPB chain (now I’m in Florida). so good to see Jeff on the YT. Great show. I sub’d.
Saw the promise collection on heritage Tom very impressive and breathtaking.
Milk hotel. Great album in background.

Cully hamner did the cover for Modok Head Games #1
Modok makes it too easy to go for a head shot.
We all love chatting about some expensive paper
Great show as always! 👍
Great content! Thank you!
GOD, I sold my FF48 and 49 back in 86 for 50 dollars each and he also threw in an X-men 14, I was a huge Xmen fan and I always wanted the first appearance of the sentinel's, so I did it...I WISH I didn't do it now....LOL those FF issues were near mint and the Xmen issue he gave me was in only good condition...smh...but at 16 years old I thought damn I got 100 dollars...SMH...I kick my self now...LMAO
