    It was a very nice comment that you had at the end there, so few UA-camrs that are pushing hype ever stopped to give people realistic advice like you did. Don't cry over anything that can't cry over you. In the end a book is never important as your happiness or your health.

    That Brubaker run on Captain America is also one of my favorites of all time. 1st Winter Soldier has been in my PC for a few years now and I always encourage ppl to pick it up.
    This is an example of a character resurrection which was handled well. That doesn't happen very often.

    • @CoMoComicBooks
      @CoMoComicBooks  2 роки тому

      Couldn’t agree more! Brubaker took a throw away character, that had been thrown away for decades, made him a bad ass and brought him back in a very effective way. One of my absolute favorite runs.

    Well said at the end. I had to make that tough Choice right before the comic boom and sold huge ASM keys to build an addiction onto our house . Yes it’s taking longer to rebuild but only ASM 1 is making harder to get that back.

    • @CoMoComicBooks

      Thanks! It’s amazing what can be financed off of the hobby! I’ve heard of people paying their way through law school with their comic collections and so much more ASM1 is definitely on a high right now, but I don’t know how much wiggle room it has for a correction. I know multiple people questing for a copy right now they haven’t been able to pick up a copy, even in the lowest grades, for $5-$6k. The basement floor is so high for it right now. I hope you’re able to pick one up again at some point!

    Personally I’ve put Silver & Bronze Age comics on hold (buying & selling) but have been buying & reading current comics. I know you do videos on comics to collect on different budgets, any interest in current comics as a “budget” video?

    • @CoMoComicBooks
      @CoMoComicBooks  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Steve! Current books aren’t really my forte. I haven’t read anything month to month in years, even though I still buy ASM and a few other titles. There is tons of great current release content out there and while I could probably churn something out, I suspect it would not be fully informed, as I am not fully informed on the topic. Back issues are where my interests and general level of expertise lie, so I feel like I’m of the most benefit in that space. That said, I do try to work in a more modern book here and there when one hits my radar.

    WAY back in the day, probably 1982-84, I ordered a NM copy of this book (GL #76) from Robert Bell (one of the advertisers in the interior of many books). The copy he sent me was barely FINE, with about 6 spine breaks on it. After getting hit by another mail order retailer back in the day, I kinda gave up on ordering as everything seemed to way overgraded by these sellers. Looking back, I should have continued buying the keys, even if they were overgraded !

I know that Titan comics recently got the rights for Conan, and although I know nothing of Titan; it cant be worse than Marvel (who would be incapable of living up to Howard's vision for the character).

    Boomer here. 48, been collecting off n on since was 6 yrs old. My collection began when my mother's cousin gave my brother n I some random ASMs, old strange tales with first app dormanmu, lots o brave n the bold, worlds finest and Justice league. They were awesome. that SPAWNed my devotion to the hobby and I began to buy them myself when they were 50c-75c copy. The keys I can remember buying in real time as a child were GIJoe 21(was very dedicated to all things Joe) asm 252, secret wars 8, etc. Tragically fire at parents house destroyed my first collection around the millenium. Meanwhile in my teens my best friend revealed that prior to knowing me he had been given a collection by his father. He had Conan #1. We worshipped it and that's when it was valued bout 50-75$ and that would be to the right person that would want a Conan comic. However We appreciated all silver and bronze age comics especially marvel and even more specially number 1s so it was held in high esteem. He and I partied just about everyday.....eventually he got into much harder drugs. We drifted apart. several years went by.....i got married, had a kid. When he turned three took him to meet him. He wasn't the same and I could tell he was a full blown heroin addict. he seemed miserable but I could tell he was proud because despite his addiction he had managed to resist Hocking his treasures, like Conan #1. Several more years went by. My wife handed me her phone to look at a post she saw on Facebook.......someone was mourning and lamenting his death. I immediately called his mother....she was inconsolable. It was true, he had died of a spinal bacterial infection due to the use of dirty needles. I went to visit her the next day. She tried to give me a lot of his stuff, his Genesis, ps1, zorlac Metallica skateboard, comics- CONAN #1. I refused and explained the value of his stuff. Hope that helped her find a moment of happiness and peace defying the well known addage regarding money's inability to do so. Sorry for writing all this. Conan #1 has a special place in my heart and is a well if memories.

    Swamp Thing #1 has been under appreciated for a long time. I agree that it's a great buy. Aquaman 35 is a great buy too as are Atom #1 (1st Floronic Man/Jason Woodrue), Action #340 (1st Parasite). You could probably throw-in Showcase 55 for the 1st silver age app. of Solomon Grundy. I don't think Iron Man Subby one shot will ever achieve its rightful value. Sadly I believe that Green Lantern 76 will very slowly lose value over time (decades). Neal was my favorite artist. I didn't know it at the time (because I was probably four) but I fell in love with his art because I had a sweet collection of Power Records before I got into comics. I met Neal at Motor City Comic Con four years ago. I was shocked that there wasn't a line of people to see him. I don't think younger collectors know who he is. I understand the historical significance of the book and how beautiful the cover is (I have a 9.0 white pages) but I think Green Lantern #87 (1st John Stewart) will jump #76 in value some day if it hasn't already. Great show.

      Thanks for watching Kevin! I agree major Golden Age and Silver Age keys are great and very safe investments. Unfortunately, not everyone in the hobby can drop 5 or 6 figures on a single book. Honestly, talking about 4-figure books alienates a huge chunk of collectors. The point isn’t to be able to retire off of any of these books, but rather to be able to put $x in now and get $X out later, while hopefully avoiding losing money.
