Hey Steve, loved the video as always! Great comics and even better commentary my friend. I wish you would produce more content. Take it easy my friend.
As I have said time and time again.... It starts with declaring books that truthfully have no significance "keys". You find some obscure reason to declare that dollar book important and you get other lemmings to parrot it (because they have that book too) and pretty soon the price goes up as people who have the discernment of a three year old run out and buy up this book that , for the first time, shows Aunt Mae wearing pants. The next step is having this book, that wasn't important for the 40 years since it was published, slabbed. Eventually though, and I saw it at Heroescon, you won't be able to give some of these books away. I dare say there will be a day there will be stabbed books in dollar bins if it isn't already happening somewhere. Your rant is spot on though. Enjoyed seeing the books.
Hey Steve. Very cool, Billy The Kid#84. Very cool Alter Ego#188 & Back Issue#152, yeah Tomorrow's puts out alot of fantastic comic related mags. Very cool Shock SuspenStories#1 reprint. Cool, Steve Canyon. Very cool Marvel Magazine Group Hulk, fantastic interior art. Very cool Famous Monsters, Basil Gogos Creature cover, ouch i would rather have left my clothes than that FM's issue😂. Very cool Doc Savage-The Frightened Fish cover, he looks a bit like Sub Mariner on that cover. That Paramount Records sounds like an interesting read, very cool cabinet pieces, speaking of records i have some rare 45's & Albums. Speaking of actual comic book stores, the first time i stepped foot into a actual comic store, was about 1980 to 82 or 83, my friend & i would stop at a 7-eleven get a slurpee, then go to this particular comic store those were the days. I agree 100 percent about your take on CGC, couldn't have said it better & these stupid sayings like keys & raw books, i need keys to get into my apartment😂. People have found hairs in the cases & books damaged by CGC, i saw this video on youtube showing a grading company, probably CGC handling a Superman#1 very poorly. As you well know comics are meant to be read & enjoy the fantastic ads, letter pages etc. Last but not least fantastic Charlton War AOK from Bill. Sorry for the very long comments.
Those Hiya figures are pretty good. I've got the 4 Dark Judges, Judge Cal, a Klegg and Mean Angel, no Dredd though! There is a 1/6 Dredd but it's a bit costly.
Late Happy Birthday wishes my friend. I don’t buy graded books myself because of the prices and I’ve been doing this long enough to tell what the grade is of a book without a third party. Great stuff stuff sir thanks for the video
As a slab hater myself, I don’t understand why people spend money slabbing just to resell their books. They are missing out on a huge chunk of potential buyers who want raw books. Chuck Rozanski even stated in an interview he doesn’t slab anymore because it is a waste of money.
I'm with you my friend, CGC is not good for our hobby.i don't own a graded book and it's not something I'm interested in. Great stuff bud. Talk to you later.have a great 4th
