Traveling 7 hours for a Comic Book Collection 

I would drive 500 miles, and i would drive 500 more

Gary not only shows us the fun stuff we want to see but also educates you along the way. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. If no one has told you today. Thank you, you are appreciated!

I love this channel because he actually reads the comments. He's always liking comments people make

After a full month in the hospital I am finally out. I have to thank you for all the time that I spent watching your videos. Greetings from Greece

Woooh!!! So jealous!! Great haul! It's nice to see people contacting you and knowing that their collection goes to a new home!!

Love these collection videos. Never stop. Always fun to see what you're able to find out there in the wild.

Love it when the seller lets you tell the price you paid. Can't wait for the analysis at the end!

15k is a huge milestone. Congratulations! I've said it before I'll say it again. You keep pumping out the awesome videos and I'll keep watching.

Damn!!! 7 hours I couldn't do it but I'm glad you did. Dope video keep up the good work.

I am looking forward to the future videos about this collection. I liked your comments going through PA. I live in TN now but grew up near Frackville.

Love seeing collection purchases....bought many back in late 1970s to 1980s....

Great haul. The multiple keys, made it even sweeter. Great value even with the leg work and submission fees you’re gonna come out pretty good on this one. Not too mention the great content that will come out of them. Can’t wait to see these back from CGC

That’s a gold mine of keys! Holy cow 🐄 can’t wait to see the latest videos

Fantastic buy buddy! I'm in shock at the secret wars 8 multiple copies ! You must be having a ball! Well done Gar !

That Amazing spidey 300 alone is like almost making your money back! 👌 sweet pick up and the scenery was awesome! I love the country! Nice travels!

Regardless of the CGC costs, you got a great deal for all those comic book keys, multiple copies of quite a few of them too!! You will definitely make money on this collection!!

Very nice collection 👌 cant wait for the future videos on this collection. Stay safe while traveling

I LOVE YOUR COLLECTION VIDEOS THEY ARE AWESOME TO WATCH AND I LOVE THE KEY REVIEWS,YOU ALWAYS KEEP IT COMICS,TAKE CARE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

Love these haul videos. Stoked for the stacked GPA’s once you get everything graded and added up too. That was one of my favorite parts of the ‘best collection of all time’ series. Keep it up sir!

7 hour drive, well worth it! Most excellent of hauls 🤘🏻

Right in my back yard man saw my exit at Port Rd. Love the shenandoah valley man one of the most beautiful places in the US. Ive been looking for collections near me so much lolol. This wouldve been about 45 minutes from me. Love these videos man keep up the awesome work!!

Congrats Gary always love watching your finds

Yes more Gary videos Your killing it Gary

A nice haul. Looking forward to Future videos about this lot!

I have a number of those Nova first appearances as well. Nice to see that book getting some love.

Really great haul and video! Love seeing all those X-Men titles!

These on the road hunts are really fun. This was a great find. Looking forward to the end results.

Epic collection! Love these road trip videos. Keep em coming!

Damn Gary these videos just keep getting better!! Asm is one of my favourite runs! I’m always keeping it comics!!

Wow that X-Men run is absolutely sick! What a great haul. The five Carnage and Venom first basically paid for the collection with how current market is going. Oh man unreal collection, nice grab!

Now that was a trek! Love all the Spidey comics.

Great pick-up! Best time of year for a nice road trip through those states.

Thanks for another great video, can't wait for all the unboxing.

Really awesome collection! Nice titles and great presentation of the content as always, Gary! Keep it comics!

What an awesome collections! And so cool to hear the story from the side of the seller (in the comments). When you said you were driving down to Virginia I thought "this has got to be a good collection". Glad I was right.

Congrats on your awesome purchase 👊 beautiful books with multiple covers 👍 cheers and stay safe ..

This will be a fun collection to follow! Let me get my popcorn ready

Amazing X-Men run... really pleased you go this, but also super jealous :)

Brilliant collection, great price and the condition of the comics are amazing. Shame i don't come across collections like these in the UK. Super excited. Stay safe now.

Amazing books! Love the Spideys! 😍

It was more than worth the drive, what an amazing collection!

Cool vid, Gary. Hyped to see the future vids from this collection!

I'm especially looking forward to the unboxing of the CBCS submissions...keep it comics!

Gary, I'm sure that many of of my fellow viewers know this already but I'm gonna point out some additional facts relevant to your very important statement, "the investment doesn't stop at the purchase of the collection" at 17:12. Here goes -- you are not only investing the $2,550 you handed over for the collection plus the costs of cleaning/pressing and grading/slabbing, all of which you mentioned. You also spent 7 hours of your time driving to acquire the collection, burned quite a bit of fuel for your vehicle and accrued some incremental wear-and-tear on it during the 500-mile trip. Once you're back at home, you have to make space for the new arrivals, unload your vehicle, sort and inventory the comics, do whatever initial vetting you need to do re: keep vs. sell and grade/slab vs. not, possibly re-bag some comics, and spend time making arrangements for cleaning/pressing and grading/slabbing, as well as spending time on sales efforts for the comics you don't plan to keep for your personal collection. Oh yeah -- the time you spent making this video kinda sorta factors into the total time investment as well. The hours add up. I think that many hobbyists and folks who sell their personal collections fail to appreciate the magnitude of the total time, money and effort investments that are involved in purchasing an entire collection when the buyer's plans include resale and the buyer is reluctant to lose money at the front end of the process (that is, by paying the owner a really generous price that'll seriously impact the buyer's ability to make money from the investment in the short term.) I assume, Gary, that you hope to at least break even for your efforts, and I wish you success.:)

I recognized that highway thru Scranton. Driven it a few times. Got good friends that live in that neck of the woods. Been a couple years. Hopefully next summer so I can take my son. He's never met them. He lives in Wyoming with his mom. Love your videos! KEEP IT COMICS!

Good price & good haul. Look forward to seeing how these play out with CGC & CBCS.

Nice pick up with this particular collection! Money well spent.

Wow, awesome buy! You are obviously dedicated to the comic investment side of it and clearly work hard at it. Glad to see it’s paying off.

Killer collection. Just south of me. Looking forward to the future videos of this collection.

I'm so looking forward to seeing those videos, I love this channel more and more with every video

WOW! Even an old guy like me learned SO MUCH just watching you go through the X-Men boxes alone. Knowledge is power along with condition being everything!

Cool of a viewer to give you the first shot at the collection and very nice collection at that . You also have gas costs for the drive as well as night at a hotel and the time in driving but still worth it. I look forward to doing some collection buying and flipping myself.

Worth the trip. First time seeing Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. Nice view. Very nice key issues, especially with multiples.

Fantastic collection! I drive that same drive to my in-laws just in reverse from South Carolina to Lake Wallenpaupack

love the long drive pick ups .. always an adventure

Loving that x-men collection! Pretty much a great chunk of Claremont's run is full of key issues.

I love watching you find awesome collections. Keep up the great content.

Love the road trip start to finish!

Epic buy, can't wait for the rest of the videos

Super sick can’t wait for all the videos that will come out of the collection.

Wish I could find more collections to pick up!! Thanks for the video Gary!

Crazy collection man! Can't wait for the future vids!

I loved this video for the collection AND for the road trip ! Another awesome deal !

I like that you give the price, gives us a better idea of what kind of prices we can expect to pay when acquiring collections. :)

Yes looking forward to those videos. Thx for the trip. Lol.

hi gary great video some great books which I have most of them ,just got back my first submission from cgc I sent in 16 books in nothing major ,just trying the water every think went smoothly learned a lot and leaned a Lot from your vids sold 4 in the first week as I have been made redundant due to covid 19 and with a retail background and at the age of 56 not much chance of getting a another job so turning my hobby into a business is what I am doing and really appreciate your hard work so keep it up and stay safe Steve G UK

Great collection. Waiting for those videos.

Really cool collection purchase dude, looking forward to your Cgc returns 👍

Great books in that collection. Definitely worth the trip.

Man I love when you go to places To look at somebody's collection I love watching videos man I can't wait when you find the next Comic book

Hell of a pick up- some great books in there!!

Great books! It resembles pieces of my collection. Great video Gary

This should be an Official Marvel collector's GO-TO / HOW TO / YO! video. That's crazy-cool! Surplus of diggin' that going on over there!

Great collection! You were right on top of it. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on that haul dude loved that X-Men issue with Doctor Doom standing triumphant over them!

Another cool video Gary. Looks like you got a great deal on this one. Thanks for keeping these videos coming..

Man good job a ton of keys!!! ASM madness love it!

Really cool to see you get ahold of the entire Claremont run through 267 and it sounds like you are interested in reading it. While not all keys, the Byrne issues 108,109, 111 through 143 are probably all collectable enough to send to CGC. Of the remaining run, the Paul Smith issues from 165 to 175 have really great covers and stories. Between 175 and 268, the covers on 210, 212 and 213 and the 256, 257 and 258 are the best.

That is worth the drive man, keep up the good vids!

Scott had one heck of a collection !

WOW!! The trip was definitely worth it.

Sweet collection...you definitely got your money’s worth. You are living the good life!

Cool Vid, i like how you film the scenery of your trip. 👍 keep it up. Some great books you got there!

Just tripped across your channel the other day and I’ve got to say it’s among my favorite comic channels already. Nice work on the channel overall and this collection buy as well.

What an awesome collection! I definitely would've traveled that far for some books of that caliber
