I must be the only person who likes Malibu and Valiant comics. Sure, Marvel and DC have my favorites but I always liked the other two companies growing up as a kid in the 90s.

Malbu was short lived but still has a big following. many of us are still holding out hope for a revival of the characters but legally it seems impossible. even if the creators want to bring them back, marvel still owns all the rights..... or do they? its all a strange legal mess!

I just saw the pinned comment and Pawn Stars offered $5 only for 90k comics? That's a joke. Even if they're not collectable they're worth $0.25 each so that's at least $22,500 if you sold each one for a quarter. PS was only offering you $0.00005 for one comic. They know they would get at least $900 for them. That's one cent per book. My brother and I own our own comic and retro game store. Would you take $20k for the lot? We can't go higher. But only for the lot shown in this video. We can't buy anymore for now.

I myself actually learned a long time ago that there are people who actually want to buy an extraordinary larger collection of comics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for only a few hundred dollars and ultimately intended to resell them all for far more money instead of actually paying for them all at a reasonable price and actually helping another person out in the process and I have never been that type of person and never will or actually wanna be in life.

Your 1st Issue's,Annuals,of many many different and various types of titles will actually be the most valuable to actually hold on to but if you really need to sell everything you've got at 300 Comics A Long Box think about how much thise Comics are actually worth presently and go from there because this will never happen again and you don't want to have any types of regrets afterwards, because what you actually have would most likely cost me a few million dollars for me to actually get ahold of that amount of comics nowadays realistically so be careful and stay realistic about what you actually want and need financially my friend and good luck to you.*😊"

good luck selling . most of it will be just about worthless. people still believe that if they keep and save a lot of crap for decades that it will become valuable over time . unfortunately the opposite becomes true and most of the stuff will become just about worthless since there are no more buyers to be found . most of the time people will not even know what most of the stuff is all about , it has gotten old ,unknown and forgotten . sad but true .

great stuff! i personally don't think any comic is worthless. many of todays keys we're at one time or another in the bargain bin. plus, great stuff for the guy that just loves to read and appreciate comics and nostalgia in general. i for one love Malubu's ultraverse. many of us out there that enjoy those books! englehart, gerber, warren ellis, etc.... Great stuff! I'm hoping beyond hope that Marvel (or someone else) revives those wonderful characters!!! oh, and that animated series was FANTASTIC!!!! sad that valiant is still considered a notch or two above trash but i still read and enjoy Bloodshot! I agree, Mike Grell's Sable literally IS everywhere and seemingly 0 interest in it. but i'm one of the few people that still remember the TV show and that it was once considered a HOT book. It truly is a shame cause it's still a good quality read and everything you'd expect from a Mike Grell book!

I still haven't finished watching the video yet. Nearly a third of the way in I had to stop watching. Amazing that there are so many collections like this out there.

30 minutes in at this moment. 90s comics were massively over produced. The speculation brought about by newbie shop owners, many of whom were ball card dealers fleeing the same glut destruction they caused in that market, devastated comics and apparently left many warehouses and store rooms full of "hot" comics. Yeah they may temporarily "heat up" again, but what happens when people realize there are tens of thousands of unsold copies out there. There are dealers with hundreds of copies of many issues that they bought at pre-order prices or warehouse bulk prices. And this goes back at least to the very early 80s with X-Men, Daredevil, etc.
