Comic Book Collection Haul - I Purchased 3 Long Boxes Full of Bronze Age silver Age Key Issue Comics 

Very neat, I never caught that. I knew about the magazine 1st appearance but never realize that was his 1st comic appearance. 4-5 years ago that was a $2 comic so definitely gone up in value since the last time I looked it up.

I am happy it was able to let you relax a little after a very long work day. I hope to do comic videos more often, I really enjoy them.

I actually filmed this a few weeks ago, I am just a fan of black panther in general but super sad at the news of Chadwick's death.

Haha yeah its not a common occurrence but when it does happen its awesome.

The comic videos are my favorite to do.

I love doing the comic haul videos, they are my favorite. One day when I have proper studio space to set up multiple videos at once I will do more comic videos more often.

I am very happy you found the channel and are enjoying it. Thank you so much.

Definitely an awesome book, I am super happy to finally have one.

Definitely tons of nostalgia in this collection for me as well.

Yeah I love finding silver age for a great price. So close on the hulks. I have a 180 and 182 in my collection but I still need a 181. I had one in my collection I sold in 1993 so its one of the few comics I still need to replace.

haha yeah old polybags get that stuck to each other feeling after decades. It really makes for a wonderful asmr sound lol

But it's not good for the comics. Always change your bags ever several years or put them in mylar.

Glad you enjoyed

Yeah just that small handful of keys probably pays for the whole thing.

I do as well, I want to try to do them more often this month.

Bronze Age Marvel is fantastic, I love them.

Most definitely. One day they will be hot books.

Yeah every time I find one its thrilling, not often, but if you hunt enough you do find them occasionally.

Very awesome to know, thanks for the info.

Pop Fun To Play in

The first Hugo Strange is Detective comics 36 from 1940

@@michaelemond7315 Yeah, it's the first silver age appearance.

@@bradblevins700 lol

Yeah it definitely paid for the box all by iteself.

Thank you and you are very welcome.

Definitely.

Do love that run of comics.

Yeah I really did not have the cash to buy it at the time (Mid winter our shops is always slow so we avoid buying if we can. But he said he really needed the cash that day so offered them to me for $100 a box. I really could not say not to that once once he started listing of the general runs of things he had.

@Joseph Barbera l they probably weren't too familiar with the current market and if you need the cash quickly compromises need to be made.

Definitely!

Superman Annual 11 is the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons masterpiece and has some value. Marvel Team-up 55 is the 1st appearance of the Gardener and the 1st appearance of the Power Gem and the Time Gem (from the Infinity Gauntlet). Plus beautiful art by John Byrne.

That makes FF 164 Double fun to own. Does look like folks are starting to pay some cash for that issues. Its crazy what modern shows and movies end up doing to comics decades after releases.

@HiveRobot I love Taskmaster, I have a hard time selling any of my Avengers 196 lol but I probably should, I have 5 or 6 now. But yeah its definitely a different beast now compared to 10-15 years ago. I kinda wish I collected more mainstream stuff back then but I was still feeling the burn of the early to mid 90s comic bust so I mostly collected indi stuff and cool sci fi stuff. A lot of that stuff has sky rocketed in value as well. I think its just with time these things eventually gain value. But the movie and tv hype really had been pushing keys as well. I personally still collect with artist in mind first then character or key second.

Bronzed Age hulk is a beautiful thing.

Yeah it was a cool collection.

Very awesome, I did not realize that thanks for the info.

Definitely! Thank you!

Yeah its crazy to me how much they are worth now. They really were dollar books 10 years ago.

Thank you I appreciate.

I am happy you enjoy the comic hauls. Make sure you check out pop comics if you have not seen my newer comic channel yet.

@@popfuntoplay For sure will do. ... Checking your links as I type thanks. ... If I ever sell my collection I'll be sure and get in touch with you first.

It will be fun when you do!

Definitely an awesome collection to pick up.

I have owned so many runs of X-factor over the years they just seem like common comics to me even though there are a ton of keys. That being said in the 1980s I loved X-Factor so it is a run I really love. As for Giant Size FF #4 I did not own one of those yet so did not realize it was the first multiple man, very cool happy to get those.

Pop Fun To Play I totally understand! Rictor’s one of my favourite characters so, I already own 5 copies lol. Nice score! Happy you nabbed those issues!

I don't think I have 5 myself but I have a few.

I love filming a good comic haul, hope to do them more often this year. It does seem a ton of the Bronze age stuff is gaining steam and value. If not for the crease the Marvel Super Heroes looks like it would be a solid mid to high grade. A pressing might help a ton.

Oh yeah!

My pleasure 😊

@@popfuntoplay your still the nicest person on you tube

😀👍

Yeah it was a great comic haul.

Most definitely.

OH yeah it was a comic I had looked for a good price for years so I totally lucked out with this collection.

Thanks!

hehe thanks

Definitely a cool key comic.

They are very cool issues.

@@popfuntoplay yes a fantastic purchase all round

You can collect any era really if you enjoy them.

@@popfuntoplay bank account willing. ;)

For the longest time most of those did not hold much more value over the issues around them. All very awesome comics though and it does look like some of them are picking up steam. I am sure there is a ton of potential if anything makes it into cinematic story telling. I think I have had most of them for a long time when they were still dollar comics haha

I am gonna try to do them more often.

thanks

Happy you enjoyed.

Yeah I had not realized it had jumped up so much in value, very cool comic indeed!

@@popfuntoplay For sure! Have been rumors of Korvac as a potential future MCU villain, also seems he is set to appear in the new Christopher Cantwell Iron Man comic that launched yesterday. Thanks for sharing the video, fun!

I pull out the boxes and check every issue, upgrade condition, keep variants (New Stand, Direct, Later Printings, Printing errors, international issue etc) and anything that is a duplicate I pull out to sell. I usually do a big sort in the winter and then smaller sorts the rest of the year. I need a studio space to be able to sort more often.

Definitely some cool comics in the collection.

@@popfuntoplay , Where do you purchase these anyway? I've been trying to fine a place to order comics like these

You just got to keep hunting and searching anywhere you can think of. The more you look the more chances to find a neat collection for a decent price.

Very cool thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info much appreciated.

Thanks for the sub, Very much appreciated.

Welcome back to my comic hauls hehe One of these days I will do a tour of my key issues.

Pop Fun To Play cool!

Very much so, tons of value in that run.

They are definitely wonderful books.

I am not familiar with those titles I will have to look them up and track them down.

haha yeah I figured for some folks the repetitive number reading was kinda a asmr effect hehe. Happy you enjoy the videos. I enjoy ASMR myself so I tend to add or keep in some things I think have ASMR effects when editing videos.

Thanks for the info.

When it comes to 80s cartoon key issues I keep them all, I probably have 5-6 Thundercats 1 in my collection.

Thanks for the info.

When I bought it I believe it was only selling for $5-$10 at the time.

Thank you for the sub, very much appreciated.

Nice did not realize that issues was gaining value.

Thank you :)

Definitely a underrated comic.

Nice, did not realize that one has jumped in value.

Yeah I have been holding Power Pack 1 for a long time assuming it would be a show one day. Defenders 84 definitely sounds like a good spec book right now.

Always!

@@popfuntoplay woah omg no way

Very nice!

Definitively!

Very nice key to have.

@@popfuntoplay yeah! Cool finds!

@@redarrow884 Most definitely!

Another one that has jumped a lot lately.

I remember tracking that issue down in the late 1980s because of that. When Jim Lee Started working on X-Men I became such a fan back then.

I just have a few, I mostly collect old school Archie comics from the 1940s-1970s

I have a very vague memory of my Brother taking me to the local book store that sold comics, I remember him being very happy to bring me so I think he wanted me to get into comics. And I remember picking out a Tom and Jerry comic with a yellow cover. I don't remember owning that comic beyond that trip so I must have looked at it then just tossed or lost it or something fairly quickly. I would have been 4-6 years old at that point. Later on I remember my brother selling me X-Men 199 and G.I. Joe 21 (That G.I. Joe was one of only 2 comics I have left from my original collection) G.I. Joe #49 is the first comic I remember picking up brand new at the book store and I starting buying comics weekly at that point for about 5 years. Ages 9 to 14 or so. I sold that collection in the early 90s maybe 93-94 or so I got fed up with the prices rising so high and all the gimmick covers. I regret a few comics I sold but for the most part I have replaced everything except a dozen key issues and golden age comics.

I need to find a ton more I always sell out when I get them

@@popfuntoplay im watching video like a hawk and ill pick up this friday lol if possible!

There was only 1 issue in these boxes, which was really surprising since the one issue was a pretty big Key issue I needed lol

Pop Fun To Play enjoy!!! I’m still up to only omega the unknown issues lol

haha it is a bit of a haul lol

Thanks for the info.

My focus is on value and not short term gains. So my focus is not making an income on flipping comics fast, I do that with other things in the shop. But by holding onto the keys they in general rise in value over time. For instance I bought 10 near mint copies of Amazing Spider-Man 239 about 6 years ago for $5 and held onto them. At the time I could have sold them for $10 each and made a $50 profit, but I recently sold 8 of them for $50 each and made a $350 profit or 700% return on my investment in 6 years. 700% return is near impossible when you flip quick. And I got to keep 2 NM copies for my PC. I usually put 100% percent of my focus on selling the cheap stuff, that stuff has no future potential. If I can break even to double my money on the filler titles I am super happy, the keys will bring in way more value down the road.

20 years ago I would sell all the comics I would get, but it never really made me a huge profit, it was not until about 2012 that I realized so many things I sold quickly were selling for so much more that I decided to start holding onto a lot more things to let them peculate and appreciate in value before I sold them.

Thanks again.

Definitely an awesome deal. And yeah once FF is in the MCU the prices are going to get silly. I want to grab all the ones I can now that I can.

Cool I love the bronze age variants like that.

@@popfuntoplay yea I was watching and that Whitman diamond on that book caught my eye so I had to rewind the video and pause it so I could verify that's what I saw lol should have a hostess ad inside with spiderman and mary Jane make sure that's in there

Definitely.

Wonderful, thanks for watching my videos for a long time.

Thanks!

Not really.

Silver age comics span from the mid to late 1950s until about 1970 Bronze age spans from about 1970 to 1984 Each age kinda reprsents a difference in story telling etc. If you want to learn more about the history there are some cool articles to be found on google or youtube videos.

I buy and sell collections for a living so I am at the point they find me.

A lot of folks buy the comics and just forget about them over the years. So yeah I often find collections unprotected. Sometimes they are ok other times the acid damage really browns them.
