That collector sounds a lot like me. I started around 1970 and completed most of my Marvel title runs by the time I was 16. The difference is I didn't cut anything out of any of my books, I bagged them in PVC bags immediately after carefully reading them (later in 4 mil Mylar), and I can't imagine selling even one book under any circumstance.
Buying from the original collector? This is going to be good. Ooh, Fantastic Four number 2?!? So cool. Wow, what great comics. The best part for me is that you got them from the original collector. That’d be my favorite type of collection to buy. It’s got the books and the nostalgia to boot.
I wish I had infinity money and could’ve gotten them all! That was actually the only FF 2 I’ve ever seen in the wild, so I’m thrilled to have gotten it. But those handful of big boys killed my budget for other big books, although I almost pulled the trigger on a Daredevil 1.
From what I heard, back in the day it took a year for Marvel to learn how the comics sold, that is why they cancelled the X-Men Neil Adams run thinking it'd sell as bad as the previous ones. Once the numbers came they were surprised, I have no idea why they didn't continue the title immediately though . Great collection by the way, love it!
Imagine if Adams had stayed with X-Men and never went to Batman, X-Men never went to reprints, which meant no Claremont at 94…. That’s some Kang alternative timeline stuff right there!
Great picks. FF 2 on a deal like that is incredible. I don't know if it's just me, but Journey into Mystery books seem to be some of the scarcest of the silver age Marvel titles to find these days.
I don’t think it is just you. I’m doing pretty good with Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense, and Tales to Astonish but I’m finding fewer Journey into Mystery. I’m not sure why that is.
Really good video! Enjoyed all of it! What a classic bunch of Silver Age beauties! Blue chip all the way around! Any idea the age of the collector who you bought these from? Is he holding on to anything?
For sure! It’s amazing the treasures that can still be found. I wish I could say the shelves were fancy but I got the cheapest I could find on Amazon. amzn.to/3gG66a9
These are some great books, gotta feel good having these in collection
Yeah, it’s nuts! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful Color on all of them!
Agree! It also helps that I put most of them in Mylar. ;)
All were great but those Journey into mystery and Doom were so gold
I think someone Else also mentioned the Journey into Mystery and commented that they are getting harder to find. So I’m thrilled to have gotten them.
@@Nerdsonearth Yes they are very rare especially in any presentable grade Nice finds
Amazing finds!
Thanks!

That’s amazing. You were a trendsetter, very few people were bagging back then! Congrats on your collection, so good.
To pay 100$ phone bill 🤣🤣🤣 I would have chosen to communicate with mail pidgeons or smoke signals rather than gifting away my childhood collection.
Same! That story is heartbreaking.

Nice pickups. ASM 16 is my favorite of the bunch.
It’s an all-time great comic.
wow cool stuff

@@Nerdsonearth That would be crazy as hell! Now that's a parallel universe :)
3:57, just a great comment and kudos for picking stuff just from a weird, strange or cool cover. things i've discovered...😏🥳🍻😁🙋♂✌😎
Thanks, appreciate you watching!
Great comics!

No, he was ready to let everything go. Cleaned house and downsized.

Absolutely amazing finds here! Also I really like those shelves you're using for storage in the back. Where did you get them?
For sure! It’s amazing the treasures that can still be found.

@@Nerdsonearth Cheap or not they look like they do the job. I was looking for some cheap storage options and this seems perfect, thanks for the link!
@@vwvwvwv3808 Glad they will work for you!
Kinda funny F.F. #5 is 1st app. of Doctor Doom and spiderman #5 is the 1st Doom spidey meet up.
I’d love to have FF #5. I’ve never even seen it in the wild.
X-Men reprints started with #67 thru #93.
Ah, #67. I knew it was right around in there. Was I close? What did I say?
@@Nerdsonearth 68
I legit thought it was Adam Savage 🤯👏🏽
He has nicer hair.
@@Nerdsonearth u have better comic knowledge 🔥🙏🏽
Why didn’t you get the ASM 1-4 as well
$$$$
any chance of getting the contact info from the gentleman? I love scruffy silver age stuff brad
He’s all out. Anything he had remaining has gone to auction.
The Dazzler is not modern. There was a bronze and copper age as well.
Ff #2 holy😮😮😮😮😮
A piece of comic book history!
