The Greatest 1980-2000's Collection I've Ever Seen 

Hi! All of those comics are going to be slabbed and sold along with the rest of the raw collection. If you are interested let me or James know. A huge thanks to James for hanging out and having some fun looking at over 30years of collecting!!!

Wow, that nearly mirrors my collection, and in a similar time frame. Was like watching someone go through my collection, sans the movie properties, much of Simonson's Thor run, and some of the DC stuff. Also, I have many more newsstands, particularly with that first volume of ASM. Cool to see someone else's collection spanning the same as mine. Looks like a lot of great high-grade copies.

Incredible. Makes me wish I hadn’t fallen out of the hobby during “the cool stage” at the end of middle school into high school era

Brother you did good. Looks like a lot of fun. Spending a whole day going through comics, what else can you ask for. Remember " With great comic experience comes great responsibility ".

This is a great format, had a lot of fun watching through everything, learning a lot of issues are keys that I was not aware of. Makes me feel a lot better about my collection!

That was a treat. I am humbled. Thanks for that.

THAT was a superb collection of its era. In fact there a whole lot of comics that I didn’t realise were keys. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the graded results.

Jesus!!! Crazy good collection!!! Awesome video!!!

Amazing stuff!!!! Loved the video. Oddly enough I started going thru my 40,000+ comic collection about three weeks ago and saw tons of the same books you showed here plus others from Independent publishers from the 80’s. As well Archie’s, Gladstone and Dark Horse from that decade. It’s been a blast rummaging through the old long boxes and feeling some of those keys in my hands again. What a rush!!!! As I have told my people over the years, I started out only reading Archie, Harvey and Disney Duck books from when I started in 1977 until about late 1982. When I started reading Marvel and DC IN 1983, my collection exploded and I acquired a ton of the stuff you showed in 3 for a $1 bins. Who would have thought I would have a little gold mine today from those boxes lol. BTW, one of the best books I dug out was my excellent condition copy of Archie’s Girls Betty & Veronica #320. If you know what that is then you know what I’m talking about lol. Love the great work you do here, keep it up my friend.

Wow! That's an awesome collection! I hope they all come back with high grades and he gets some bank out of them. Just the books you showed are amazing. You're a good man for helping him out. Nice one, James!

Great video, that was fun!

Fantastic information. Great video.

Awesome collection. It was definitely in better shape and more complete than mine. I've been collecting since 1982. I've sold entire runs that he had in that time. I still have over 50 long boxes. ( Slowly purchasing short boxes ) My back is crying for them. It is always a joy when a collection is shared to the public. You never know exactly what you will see.

Amazing stuff, thank you for sharing!

Great video. I like seeing you pick out the keys worth sending in to grade. I've got a lot of silver and bronze age uncanny x-men and full runs of x-men and wolverine but other than just sending in all keys I didn't know where to start.

I always get a kick at the present day of comic collecting, because everyone thinks it's the hip thing.... in the 90s when i was collecting at my peak, 80s too, it was a small world, where the True comic people collected... and it wasnt even a thing to get books graded. I have fantastic memories of collecting and going to Air Capital Comics in Wichita, Kansas every week. Great video

It was nice of you to help him out!

Collecting Frew Phantom comics again after 20 years (starting with a bundle last week) and love your channel - learning alot . Thanks (new sub)

That Blue Marvel series was amazing...one of my top 10s...🍻

What a great collection!!! I started collecting comics in the late 70's. I remember seeing so many of these books in the LCS I used to go to back then. I was only 7 when I started collecting. I only bought ASM, Iron Man, and Captain America. I wish I would have been a more serious collector. That was just awesome to see a great personal collection.

X-Men Alpha is a cover price comic all day. Gold cover is worth money. That didn't show up gold in the video. Great collection!

What a collection! WOW!

Great collection!!

Nice collection for sure James. Alot of cool keys and minor keys. Budget friendly me would probably slab 25-30% of those. Wishing him luck on his submissions. That must've been one fun adventure going through the collection.

I like these videos helps me recognize keys when digging

That is one massive collection @seanferris Love the runs and I’ve got a lot of those Marvel keys too, especially the X-men/Frank Miller Daredevil runs. Can’t wait to see the slabbing results 👍

I don't collect anymore...in the process of selling off my collection on ebay and my dad's collection who died last year but I still love looking at videos about comics like yours and others. You gained a subscriber. Im 49 but have to say I loved comics more up until the late 90s...After that I feel in love more with cover art and variants so I'm done. I will always love the awesome art and stories rhough.

I actually have done 35 years of accumulative collecting. I often get a lot, then sell. Then accumulate more boxes, then sell. Right now I'm just accumulating and speccing, 14 short boxes I think I will hold off some. Mostly Bronze and Moderns. Great video, always inspires me to shop!

seeing all those books not in bags made me thank my 13 year old self for getting bags and boards.

*_Wow......I got chills_*

That was so fun, I only wish I had someone to help me go through my collection, of coarse someone like you, with all that knowledge and the " these are worth sending in advise" I can only imagine what your friend is going to spend sending all the books in for grading. Thanks again for the great show.

At any rate....the greatest comic book collection rom 1938 to 1944

Wow! It's a been a very long time since I've seen a collection that expansive! Mind blown! 😲

Wow , that's an awesome collection!

Holy Snot Bubbles this was AMAZING!!!!!

Just keep the smile on my friend life has bumps in the road you'll be fine it might not seem like it a time or two but everything usually works out and a lot of times for the better all the best thank you for sharing again keep the smile on and all the best to you and yours

Wow what an amazing key find 😍😍

Now that was definitely awesomelicious!!!!!!!

Loved this, so fun to watch, many memories as I started collecting (seriously in 1981)

That collection is insane!

Very Nice Collection! I paused it when I saw Detective Comics 475 & 476. I have those in excellent condition as well. Don't see a lot of those. Thanks for showing us these James! Makes me think my collection is pretty decent. :)

Lol I too started collecting in 1977! Still have most of my stuff!!👍

This was amazing to see! Comic book heaven 🔥

Great vid. Just discovered you so looking forward to see future vids. This collection is killer. I will point out Illyana first appeared in Giant Size X-Men 1.

Hot damn! That's a hellacollection!

Can't wait to see it all come back.

I love that Deadshot's Revenge and those Red Hood covers. Great Reverse Flash, the Death of Supergirl, Lobo and JSA comics! Awesome Miss Martian! Oh yeah absolutely worth it!

I wouldn't of got all of them graded...just the real big ones honestly..

So many modern keys!

Let's goooo I been binging your videos 3 weeks

Awesome that they all still look crisp nice pc

Mind Blown !! Please do an update video on the grades this guy got on the comics he did submit. Would LOVE to have those vintage X-men runs !

What an amazing collection I hope he does well with the greeting company that he chooses

Amazing collection. I was literally doing the same thing Saturday. In storage with a friend digging through his collection when he started collecting in the early to mid 70s. He didn’t get everything , but a lot it wasn’t quite that well organized though.

Love seeing a slab free collection. Keep your books raw.

Wow great collection!!!!

What a collection.

I loved this video!!!!

The ASM 300 looked clean as well as a lot of those other Spidey keys you showed. I wish him the best of luck with what he's sending out.

Amazing and Awesome video and Collection i started my collection in 1986 to this day but its not as complete as this one am a picky collector and I have a 4 year gap again great collection and thank you for sharing wow looking at this video now I have an idea of what to look and put on the side WOW

That was impressive! W🤯W! What issues are going on with CGC besides the increase in price and the year turnaround?

Cool stuff

Did a double take on that X-men AoA book, ran into my room and realized I had the chrome version. Oops... hahaha. Good stuff, amazing collection.

Wow insane collection and nice books the dc books are so slept on just wait for a good movie and boom

Man those Batman books are beautiful! That 1st print 423 had me drooling I’ve been looking everywhere for that book in any print that doesn’t cost an arm and leg

this is so epic and the condition of some of those books omg

This guy can retire!? I learn so much watching your videos I really enjoy them

Quick observation - Looking at the two X-Men Alpha books at 13:09 I'm pretty sure they are just the regular Chrome cover and 2nd Printing regular cover. The expensive version is the Gold retailer incentive which has a gold tint to the X-Men logo. Still a cool start to the Age Of Apocalypse story, though!

Lots of cool comics, wish you made the camera stationary, Oh well, still not bad.

This makes me want to look through my collection

OMG! I think I just stained my tighty whities! This is an amazing collection!!! Thanks for bringing us along.

That was an awesome collection. The question now is, where can I find listing for some of those runs?

You should do a video showing certain comics to look out for, personally I know personally I've missed out on a lot of keys because of my lack of knowledge at the time

So many of those books are amazing the main one i want is that deadshot book ive been searching for it for the longest time

Holy shit, this is one serious collection.

That was an amazing collection! Thank you for sharing! What do you think the entire collection was worth? -Keep on Hunting!

Dang bro you weren't joking about the comic porn. That was some serious comic goodness! 🔥 Looking forward to seeing those grades and how CBCS does.

I hope my collection is half as nice as this in 35 years. Man o man those are some amazing books

cool collection. I love your videos since you are not afraid to show DC. It's like all these people only speculating on F list Marvel characters will be crying in 1-2 years. I have been selling miner Spidey/ Marvel keys for big DC keys.

Amazing collection and a great example of what you can build by just staying in the hobby and consistently picking up books you like or that have interesting first appearances. This is important to see at the moment, at a time when older books are just totally out of reach for most new collectors But, a cool collection doesn't have to be silver age or whatever. If you had just picked up books at cover price over the last ten or fifteen years or so, you'd have things like UF4, Young Avengers 1, first Silk, Spider-Gwen, Jane Foster Thor, Shuri, America Chavez, as well as ones that could be huge in a few years like the New Agents of Atlas. A collection like that will look pretty awesome a few years down the line Edit: also first Jessica Cruz, Gorr the God Butcher, Yara Flor, Immortal Hulk 1, Detective 880, Dr. Aphra, Riri Williams

It's a cool collection, your threshold for spending money on CGC though is very different than what mine would be.

That FCBD Grievous is super rare? Sick. I got an unstampped copy for me and my son.

I want the red hood comics, Superman vs flash race, and the Batman Superman Batman beyond comics!!!

Flash 197 isn't "updated Professor Zoom" but is in fact the 1st app of Hunter Zolomon "Zoom" (a completely new and different character to Eobard Thawne "Reverse Flash". Thor 411 is known for 1st app of New Warriors, not the juggernaut cover/story. To be honest, a lot of those minor dc keys are not worth grading (anything below $20-$30 raw should def be taken out of consideration which was a majority of those modern dc "keys").

Insane

I’m sitting here. Thinking holy shit that’s such a great collection so many keys. And then I saw I was barely 8 minutes into the video…. Ah to have been able to collect back then.

Great Collection ! Getting back into comics and was thinking of sending out some of my 90’s comics to be graded, what’s wrong with CGC ?

I went to a convention yesterday and picked up two Green Lantern keys. I picked up Green Lantern 141 and 50. The seller had buy two DC get 1 free. Those are my first 2 GL keys. I also picked up a Batman 666 for $15 bucks. Vigilante 36(I believe) first meetup with Peacemaker. Gotham Adventures 14 and Infinity inc First Mr Bones. My Marvel pick ups X-men 221 signed by Chris C and X-Men Adventures newsstand.

I was wondering where I can buy some of this guys collection !!

Amazing wow

Very nice collection... I'm interested in learning about when & where he planned on selling these. Also @MintHunter, do you sell any of your books?.. If so, where can they be seen/purchased?

That's a ton of books to get pressed and graded $$$$

Crazy crazy collections. Hope you got paid something.

Would have liked to hear more about collection. How much? How they move it? How are they all being sent in?( lots of cost there). Why was it sold? Etc. lots of awesome books there though!

Man .. wish you were local

Where did you get the data on X-Men: Alpha being a $200 book raw? I know there is a Gold Edition Variant that's worth more than the Wraparound Chromium cover that's in the video, as well as more expensive than the non-foil 2nd printing, but ComicBookRealm and other sources only have it around $10-$15. Thanks!

ah those were the days

You should see mine. It’s massive.

Did you get any “thank-you” gifts? 👀

I was wondering which is the best company to get comics slabed??. I have a few I Need graded . Thanks
