100 Things I Wish I Had Known About Comic Collecting 

Antique shops are TRIPPPINGGGG they have no idea how to price comics

I gotta tell my dad that because he basically says the opposite which is annoying af

Well, this sounds like some minor pricing issue that can be solved with basic negotiation... 5$ is not so far of for someone who has no glue. And never forget you don't have to buy right now, just because they are there at the moment - just walk if you can't get it for the price you're willing to pay. Also, a good thing is to tell them you would be willing to buy a bulk of them for a price and leave your card ( write the offer on the card ) and leave it there. A lot of times you're not talking to the person who can/want to decide that on the fly - but maybe come back to you after thinking about it.

You're complaining about a comic that's priced for $5 because google told you it was $3? Wut?

$3? What is older to you? Either the books aren't all that "old", or your expectations on pricing is way off.

Hahahaha screw vars man

Good call, I don't think I knew that one actually

@@MintHunterComics it’s one I learned very recently. Learn something new every day

I appreciate that!

Much appreciated!!!

Thanks Chip!

Thank you so much!!

Glad to help!

(It's still a cool cover) but yes def not worth that price!

My variant purchases are usually visually driven. The A cover still comes home though.

$%@^Variants! And will do! It's getting hard to manage all my dma lately I need a secretary hahaha

This

I just noticed all that hahaha. Ugh that's a pet peeve too. Ah well. I finished up this video at 4am so I'm allowed a couple mistakes! 🤣🤣🤣

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much 😀

There's many reasons why mystery boxes are dumb haha - I was disappointed to the point of hilarity one time

This is true, but it does make for interesting RU-vid videos.

It depends on who’s giving the mystery box. I love spider Gwen, so I bought a mystery box last month, but two of the comics they showed would be in the box were two spider. Gwen variant covers, whatever else is coming in the box, I have no idea, But at least there’s something I want in it 😄

Thank you!! 😁

DON'T FELL BAD THAT's AMAZING! woot woot!

@@MintHunterComics check out the last 10 minutes of my last video to see what I got. A) I would greatly appreciate it B) you will be shocked and Awed! 😂

I have a real problem with this. So many people just don't know what they have and it gets confusing very fast when they try to figure it out. I've seen it, I've heard about it. They may have been desperate, they may have been strapped for time and couldn't do the research... It's one thing to score a deal when buying a collection from a collector, or buying at auction or through a retailer, but I think taking advantage of people's ignorance about what they possess isn't right. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times I've told people to pull their books from sale and given them advice on researching values. It's the right thing to do. For example, imagine your family members struggling to deal with your comics after you died, or had some sort of debilitating illness...maybe your family is different, but my wife and kid don't know anything about the books I collect they'd likely liquidate them in a similar way and it irks me to know there a comic vultures out there, circling, waiting, ready to pounce on the unexpected.

Thanks so much!

maybeeeee... that's actually not a bad idea... I know Batman Statue Collector does that!

Thanks so much!

Thank you, I will! some comics prolly hahaha

Comic Collecting is a nightmare for OCD. Gotta stay grounded

Good question! it's a rare oddball variant from 1994-1999 check out my videos from like a month ago talking about unboxing dc universe upc logos!

I call it "FeeBay" hahaha - and thanks my man!

No they are! lol - keep your in hand copy and read digital or over youtube - saves so much money and value

It's too tight! I hate squeezing comics into that thin little bags n boards!

It really does lol

Thanks so much Richard! I put a lot of time into this hahaha

Hopefully these tips help!

Thanks so much! and yes.... such a beautiful cover

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks Basement Bros!

You got it John!

Hahaha I love it - thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Negative, ive spoken with cgc graders and they always advise to have no tape anywhere. It's also in their video on how to send to CGC

Get em out!

Legion indeed - cheers for the support man

IG sales!

Thank you! Will do!

Glad it was helpful! and thanks for the kind words!

Thank you! Will do!

I think that "grading curve" has been dismissed - CGC has MASSIVELY cracked down on things they'll "let slide" everyone in the last 5 months has been saying they can't get high grade anymore haha

Hell yeah! thanks mate

Also I agree you can't collect everything a character has but I'm super lucky with Jess Cruz because she's so new I'm pretty much able to have every key she currently has since there isn't a lot 😃 it's a nice feeling to start at the beginning state of a character that might really cascade into the next generation and get really big especially with mental disorders like anxiety and problems her character brings to light :) very cool to have a small part of her history in my possession.

Glad you enjoyed it! and no actually - I'll be checking it out! that's such a great channel

Agreed

I was!!

Thank you kindly!

Those Gemini mailers are legit gold

Maybe! and thanks!

Actually my girlfriend has me for the day and it's a complete surprise, so I have NO IDEA what I'll be doing and where!

Oh Indeed

Thank you too!

Awesome! Thank you!

No! those Toy's R Us Reprints are cool and vintage now in their own right! lol

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful!

Indeed - the biggest part of comics is being able to let it go

Indeed - always good to see if it's reprinted so it's easily readable

Thank you so much 😀

Thank YOU! cheers!

Thanks Nate! I learned a lot through the years!
