@@davidsamuelson2089 man I knew that one would be contentious! I was truly on the fence but it came down more to the significance of the book. And its slight professional resto on the Bat 2
Great video! *New Sub* to help you reach that 1K! 😁 Just started collecting (again) after many years, looking forward to my first "personal grail" soon! Skol ~ Bjorn
Nice isdues but comics were made to be read, touch, feel and smell not encapsulated. I guess you just enjoy getting conics graded. I have a comic collection, and none are graded. All are in mylar with backing boards.
Funny enough is that I had most if not all of these raw and ungraded, so I did enjoy most of these books in my collection, read a few times, and enjoyed all of the art and stories before I got them graded at CGC. Everyone collects differently. My philosophy is that my high value books will be graded, as it is generally easier to quantify and determine value and sell when I need to. As you can see, most of these books high-value books ranging anywhere from $1k-$20k, so in my opinion it just makes sense to have them graded because I do sell parts of my collection when I prepare to buy a bigger book or grail. What kind of books do you keep in your collection? If it works for you then it works, but this is what works for me. Personally, I wouldnt want to keep a Showcase 4 or Detective 168 ungraded for too long...
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
My biggest compaint about shortboxed (and with HipComic) is not being able to see how many views I get. I can't sell anything at all, listing books at GREEN prices, and I must assume I am not getting any views.
Nice collection! And great video! Seems like this was a sell where everyone was happy, which is the main thing. And those are some nice books! Journey Into Mystery #99 is the first appearance of Mr. Hyde. Good luck with your submission! That's a solid copy of Avengers #1. And the others should serve you well as good trade material or for some good reading! Have a good day!
I always feel bad hearing a story where someone inherits a collection and immediately sells it. If the person who gave it to them knew this was the ultimate outcome of what they gifted I think they might have chose to sell while they were alive and get a lot more for the collection. You definitely got a good deal on this one! Thanks for sharing!
Hey, good for you anyway, that guy Hass to be on drugs to only sell the avengers 1 and lots of other books for less than $2400. That’s ridiculous. I guess his mother was not that bright either.. the avengers by itself. It’s worth what you paid for everything no question about it.. well, good for you you scored big-time there are still people that have no clue what comic books are worth.😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yes but at the same time I do feel they got a solid price in the books because it frees them of the time/effort it takes to list/grade/sell the books on their own as well as incur any other fees, etc. Sometimes it’s worth it for a seller to not make the full FMV based completely on convenience. It worked well for both parties imo 👏🏻
@@chicoscomics hey good morning anyway I have been a collector for many many years and I still have some of the big boys like Batman 1 5.0 restored amazing fantasy 15 6.0 no marvel champion totally amazing amazing fantasy 15 8.0 restored no trimming tales of suspense, 39, 8.5 X-Men 1 7.0 fantastic four 48 9.6. The point I am trying to make is those people are very ignorant about Comic Books and apparently they had them for quite a while.. it’s not a pain in the ass to just throw those on eBay and you would have made thousands of dollars.. the point is there are still lots of people that think comic books are not worth anything. When I was a bartender in Connecticut people laughed in my face when I told them I buy Spider-Man X-Men Iron Man.. and I told them when I don’t do anything at all except go to New York Yankee games you will not laugh anymore. If people just bought the early appearances 15 or even 10 years ago, you would probably not have to ever work again.. to do that now you would have to hit lotto. There are still lots of people that are totally clueless.
I've been looking for a well priced copy for no-kidding close to two years. I had the alert set on ebay for HoS92 and when I saw this one, decided to take the gamble.
Thank you Alex! It’s the first time I’ve actually owned this book too. I’ve had my eBay alert set for it for years, just always waiting for the right time to strike
Thank you for watching! I’ve actually been a big fan of your channel for a while now Alan, you’ve got some amazing books yourself! I actually coincidentally just bought a copy of Power Comics 50 this week….then saw your video whereas you got one too, nice pick up!
Good question, but let me ask, if you were setting a budget, what would the price range be and I would make recommendations based on that. Thanks for commenting and let me know!
@@chicoscomics I’ve been looking at Batman or Amazing Spider-Man. I would say few thousand dollars. I’m new to comics curious what keys or one book you would target for long term.
Thank you for watching and no kidding that is how I got to where I am today in my collection. I’ve taken the stance that if I can replace the book with relative ease (in terms of availability), then sell it and get books that are a bit more rare. Selling has also helped me in affording some of these pricier books too
