Thanks youtube.com/@charliedogg7683, ROM has a special place in my heart and yes, it screams late 1970s; glad it is your favourite too! That letter from Tharg The Mighty and the 2000AD droids is something special, it's a great idea to consider getting it framed. Your portfolio collection sounds impressive, wish I had some of those especially the one by Mike Ploog. For now I'll have to do with seeking out the remaining Sal Quartuccio Production Marvel portfolios by Fastner and Larson. You've scared me with the Frank Frazetta portfolio; happy to settle for the Eerie and Creepy magazines.

Thanks so much youtube.com/@thundergodd6086, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much Jim (youtube.com/@diggerjim7202)! I'm glad you liked the figures, I agree, the ROM is my favourite (hence why I have 3 of those).

Thanks youtube.com/@ @darrenford4957, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It was awesome to see you at Heroes Con too.

Thanks Chris (you.tube.com/@thecomicvet), great to see you in person. Getting home safely is just the first step in my grand adventure, so stay tuned for more.

Many thanks youtube.com/ @howlermouse. Woah, you're an OG at Heroes!

Cheers youtube.com/@charliedogg7683. I loved going through the old Warren and Marvel magazine titles, glad to hear you on that train too now. I was tempted by that Space:1999 magazine and have been watching them live streamed on youtube.com/@ShoutStudios.

@@StillOnly35c So have I, stumbled on the channel earlier this month.

Thanks as always Al (youtube.com/@alancarr7718). Pop Culture Playground was my favourite of the dealers there to be honest and I ended up picking up that CGC 8.0 of Creepy Issue 1 from them.

Yep! Planning a trip next year?

It’s here in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Charlotte NC, but I saw you found that out. Hopefully you can make it next year.

@@StillOnly35c you know, I think I will go. And I will stay overnight and do two days.

Glad you enjoyed the video and the books youtube.com/@SondicoDenann. Stay tuned, more 2000AD videos to come.

Thanks for the compliment youtube.com/@dbulls33. Loved the show and all of the great books, just wish I had more time to dig. I did get another pickup that I saw on another TH-camr's video and contacted the dealer post show, stay tuned for that one.

So good to see you in person youtube.com/@bubsworld181. Yeah, this is exactly why cons are excellent; can;t wait for SDCC and catching up again at Heroes Con 2025.

Thanks Chuck (youtube.com/@chuchhensey6989), I was tempted for the Our Love Story book and as mentioned it was the only one I found at the show; but you were right, it was too rich for my taste and was around an 8.5/9.0 grade. Looking for something higher.

You were so right youtube.com/@shadowman8786; really helped me out there, thanks for info and support. I now need to update all the databases online which still credit Larry Lieber.

Thansk Brian (youtube.com/@brianLCS), so good to see you in person. The camera was an Insta360 X3. Sadly I had a lense protector on it which had the lights reflecting, but footage will be improved on future hunts as removed it. Going to try it out at a local comic fair this weekend. Stay tuned for that.

Thanks Phil (youtube.com/@philcamacho127). Found details on Paper Lift defiition in the The Official CGC Guide to Grading Comics (www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10586/cgc-guide-grading-comics-nelson/). According to the book, It is "the loss of paper and ink from a top surface of a cover, occuring whne the cover has stuck to anothersurface and pulled appart, or when a foriegn substance has stuck to the cover and was mechanically removed. Extensive paper lift most often occurs when a stack of comics is exposed to moisture, causing the covers to stick to each other. Localised paper lift usually involves the removal of a substance, a sticker, or glue remnants. Paper lift occuring from tape is classified as tape pull." Seems that the tape removal lead to the paper lift designation.

Compliments youtube.com/@thecomicdrill on those two DC Comics Presents 27, what a find. Wish I had more time to dig deep on some of those hidden floor boxes; thats a great tip.

Thanks youtube.com/@othermike. Yes, it was Insta360, my first time using it. No need to buy stickers, I'll be giving them away at future cons; also if you send me a DM on your address on IG I'll send you a couple. On the shirts, they'll be coming soon; we are working on them now.

Thanks youtube.com/@papasdino. On examining the book, I wondered if anyone would pick up on that even though I was being very careful. As you mentioned, not something I would do with a super expensive book as I've had the occasional mishap myself.

That's amazing Cliff (youtube.com/@CliffordNY)! 4k really makes all the difference, doesn't it?

Thanks John (youtube.com/@johnedwards2051). I ended up not getting my books signed by Jim Steranko in the end and just submitted them for grading. My rationale was that I heard that Jim Steranko wasn't very gentle with books and thus I felt it would be too risky given they were so high grade. Will keep everyone posted on the results.

Thanks for the sub and glad you enjoyed the video youtube.com/@MarcSpectorComics! Heroes was so much fun and hopefully you can make it next year.

Agreed Robert (youtube.com/@robertdelisi9473); it is the biggest and best true Comic Book Convention. Can't wait for next year.

Agree, don't we all Brian (youtube.com/@brianlcs). Next year will be fun.

Any time Ben (th-cam.com/users/BenParkerComics), it was my pleasure to have you both join and great conversation.

Thanks as always Charlie (th-cam.com/users/charliedogg7683). Agreed on a Jim Shooter memoir, did you catch the youtube.com/@bronzeandmoderngods interview they did with him (th-cam.com/video/YyhF_i198eo/w-d-xo.html).

@@StillOnly35c Yes I did David, I always watch their interviews, great stuff.

Thanks CJ! He did ask me if I have been working out since last year because my chest and shoulders looked bigger. I said the only workout I have been doing is 12oz curls (beer), and I’m just fat 😂

Spot on CJ (youtube.com/@comicjourney), I had a great time with Ben and Jim. Hopefully sometime I'll get your hands to do a guest appearance on the show.

Thanks Al (th-cam.com/users/alancarr7718), we loved going through the books and always good to see what others are collecting. enjoy Jim and Ben's (he's new to TH-cam, but he's been on IG for a while).

Thanks youtube.com/@anthonythomasexperience), Jim is a true comic book legend and really nice guy (as you can see from the short).

Thanks so much youtube.com/@othermike; been a pleasure doing it, so glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks youtube.com/@ShuggsComicsandStatues. Heroes is a fantastic con and my favourite of them all! In terms of attending, getting tickets is usually straightforward, just get in early would be my advise. As for travelling from the UK, it shouldn't be too complicated; you'll likely need to connect at another airport as I suspect they'll be very few direct flights.

@@StillOnly35c Many Thanks 🙂

Thanks so much youtube.com/@thecomicdrill. Wow, 30 years going to Heroes Con, you must have an amazing stash of comic books!

Hey youtube.com/@charliedogg7683, glad you enjoyed the video and walkthrough; yes indeed, there was some amazing books. This video was filmed when the show first opened to VIPs on Friday morning which is why it seemed a little quiet. Heroes Con was pretty crowded later in the afternoon and Saturday and Sunday, you can see some of that in my Day 3 Heroes comic hunting video.

Can't wait! It was great meeting you too youtube.com/@Psyren136! Looking forward to catching up again next year.

Thanks youtube.com/@donaldmiller9648 and sharing your Elfquest and Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. with us! It's amazing how our collections can hold so many memories and stories; I'm so stoked to find amazing high grades of all those books and getting the full collection. Getting them all signed by Wendy and Richard was my highlight of the show.

No problem at all youtube.com/@papasdino, it's absolutely a pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it as always.

Appreciated Al (youtube.com/@alancarr7718), had ablast and was glad I was able to take you all along on the journey.

Thanks so much (youtube.com/@AComicBookworm) and for the interview (th-cam.com/video/O0hlNhSdWPk/w-d-xo.html). I'm glad you enjoyed the Nick Fury books! Looking forward to joining you on more videos, and getting togther next years in person again sharing more content next year.

Totally Rob (youtube.com@robs.fatstax)! I'm sure I'll see you on the lives sometime until the next Heroes Con.

@@StillOnly35c without a doubt

Thanks Jim (@bronzevillecomics2581), I really enjoyed your recent video with the collection you purchased as well, there was some awesome hidden gems in there. I remember us meeting at Baltimore although I wasn't YouTubing at that point. Hopefully we'll catchup again soon at another show.

Cheers youtube.com/@DJLINX, great to meet you in person. See you soon.

Glad you liked it Richard (youtube.com/@richardwestphal5184), I'm stoked with how it turned out, Mike Henderson did an amazing job.

Thanks youtube.com/@CZFS, your support especially means the world to me!
