- Come along to charming Putnam, Connecticut where I visit TWO massive antique malls looking for comic treasures. I find HUNDREDS of key issues… but are there simply too MANY comic books look through?

Best comic channel on TH-cam. Doesn’t get caught up in anything going on in the comic world, just collects books and talks about his collection and travels. I won’t even watch anyone else anymore. Keep ‘em coming!
I agree get tired of comic tom and the rest of the circus . I do watch there stuff but there channels are influencing the market and driving prices weather its intentional are not.
@@technodestructo I completely agree. There are other TH-camrs that aren’t like them but their content still talks about the market, and other drama filled items that I don’t care to hear about. Just show me your collection, videos of you hunting, the fun stuff!

I believe there’s too many speculator channels out there and not enough of those who truly enjoy the hobby and that’s what I find here. I always get excited when I see a notification from here :)
That's why I haven't bought any for about a year still love my books I own just refuse to pay some of these prices for not really key books
I agree with you, Tristan! This is my first time here, AND I SUBSCRIBED. I enjoy this style of comic book collecting video. This is done by a man who has a good family and truly enjoys the hobby like Captain sTrangelife. Great channel.
And all they do is create fake bubbles
That's funny they have new comics in graded slabs and all the old comics in bags
This channel is under rated
My thoughts exact
It is
😎
100%. Great editing, actually hunting for books, and awesome theme (lunch money). Best comic book channel...
Spread the word!!!
Never seen an antique shop with comics like that. I would've been mouth breathing the whole time.
Hi Mike, keep including the walking music in your videos, very relaxing. I'm also glad you took us through the whole store, not just straight to the comics, as I like to see what these stores sell (man, stuffed foxes and fish on timber plaques are popular!). You chose your comics well: I too like the green background to the cover of the Marvel Team-Up issue; Bobbi Morse's first appearance is in Astonishing Tales #6 (1971). Tomb Of Dracula issues have been at somewhat premium prices for years, definitely a desirable title. Silver Banshee scares me too, one of the few characters I honestly find disturbing. A live-action SB appearance would great though. Daredevil #43 is an in-demand comic due to the Cap appearance. Your son will be thrilled by the X-Men issue, very thoughtful of you Mike. Which reminds me, I must start dropping hints to the family about what I'd like for Christmas. All in all, another great video - it's so good to see a comics fan who buys to read and collect, so many of these videos are only about selling at a profit and the comics are just a commodity.
Thanks for the great comment!
by the way, CHARLIE....GOT GREAT NEWS for you, Charlie. You want a see a scary and tough appearance of Silver Banshee live? go watch Supergirl season one on streaming. She is bad ass and that scream....when she screams in the show, her face actually gets scarier and mean, like some sort of bad ghost.
@@lukeyznaga7627 Thanks for the info Luke, I haven't started Supergirl yet but now I have another reason to get going with that series.
Antique Comic Book Shopping! 📚📚📚
Going through older episodes, that Daredevil is one of my all time favorites. Captain America vol 1 # 341 was one of my first issues of Cap and an homage to it.
Daredevil 43 is one my favorite Captain America covers in my collection. Captain America 341 homages Daredevil 43 with Cap fighting Ironman.
Good grief, that was like going to a comic book convention. How awesome. Hope you can go back in the near future and have some more time to go through more comics.
Very fun video. Good gets. Your passion for comics really comes through
You hit Gold 🥇 with the Daredevil and Spider-Man comics my favorite heroes
I could spend days going through all the comics in those two antique stores. And that comic book shop looks awesome. Great pulls there. Really nice books.
yeah, Like "M.O.N. Comics" said, youhave the best approach to showing your collected comics. you show then talk about your comics and your travels. Pure, unadulterated comic book collecting fun and genre. I subbed.
wwwwooowww... what a fantastic selection to choose from. And some of those comic books looked like in great condition. they even had some Blackhawk. mannnn....!
Love Putnam. Been to Wonderland Comics numerous times. Pretty nice place and always fun to find stuff in the antique malls.
Dude i LOVE J&S in Jeremiahs antiques!!
This is my neck of the woods. Putnam is ten minutes from me. I’ve been hitting these shops for years. You also have about five great comic shops within an hour of there in CT and Massachusetts
I would definitely be in comic heaven. Thanks for sharing...
DD 43 is one of the best one vs one covers of all time, Kirby at his best
The Kirby fist, great video and books
Glad I ran into this channel. Love it! Reminded me of why I still collect comics and what I dislike about many other comic channels on TH-cam.
I’m very happy you found it! I made the comic channel I wanted to see, probably for the same reasons you dislike some of those others. I hope you enjoy!
I do like that daredevil cover.
The hunt continues. An action comics #1 in mint condition put away in a trunk for 80 years is out there and i shall find it. Damn it
I hope so!
Awesome finds, looked like fun. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video! I love to see it when you go into shops and flea markets. CGC and spec videos take the fun out of the hobby...that being said, I wish the area where I live had awesome flea markets like where you are. Keep up the great work!
Incredible stores! Love the videos man!
At first I thought this was gonna be another one of those videos where someone picks up piles of vintage comics for a song and a dance!!!! 😣I feel a little better now! 😃
Yeah though I’ve had plenty of those picks this summer, I had to be very choosy to get any deals here
I really enjoy these mix videos of random town slice of life mixed with hobby collecting. Really nice job again sir 👍
The music with you flipping through books was certainly the most zen meets nostalgia moment ever on your channel, but with a tinge of melancholy. haha! Probably because I'm hear answering four million emails everyday while you're out there living the good life hunting comics! Keep it up! More like this.
Love the video. Those stores were so clean and organized. I love Tomb of Dracula..thanks for renewing my interest in comics.
Always enjoy your videos. It would be a fun time going through all those books.
Holy cow! Wonderful little town with some way cool pickups. 😀 Good on ya for the X-Men/Cyclops 45 issue for your son. X-Men are my favorite, too. Thanks much, LMC!
Wow! Another great video! I definitely think you got a lot of bang for your buck! Great pick ups! I was also looking forward to seeing you get some delicious donuts! 🍩😂
I agree. Great cover on DD 43. I still have the one I bought off the rack, way back when.
You got some good deals ☺️ Nice pickups. Enjoy your videos 👍
Really love your channel. This is the one channel that doesn't give me FOMO everytime I watch it. I feel you just genuinely like adding these Gems to your collection as a proud owner. I own that Daredevil 43 too. Got it many years ago when I was just happy to add silver age books to my PC. Probably paid less than 10 for it. 1st DD and Cap battle. Great content!
Wow, thanks so much for the great comment!
Wow. Those flea markets had allot of books. If the grades were high l might have paid some of those prices. Love the journey! Saw many keys with those vendors
👀 DAMN! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing man!
Great pick ups and wow what a nice little town!
Great picks,it looks like you were having a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing Bryan Kitchen Houston Texas
that was a fun video. I was just at those shops back in september with some friends and always have a great time there. Looks like you had a great time and the vendors stocked some new books there. My fav recent pickup there was marvel premiere 28
Great video. Just subscribed. Those antique stores were CRAZY stocked up!!
Great finds. Definitely going to hit those stores up when I have a free weekend. I live in MA myself.
Awesome video, loving the music and that DD cover is sweet
I can't believe first meetups are now key issues. That means that every new character created is going to have tons of so-called key issues as they meet existing characters
Just discovered your channel. What a haul!! I have a good friend who lives in Melrose MA so I’ll have to head over to Putnam the next time I’m up to visit him. Glad I discovered your channel.
Thanks for the information. Cool!
WOW that town looks amazing, I will have to check it out. My wife loves traveling around and checking out places so might be able to make a day of it with the family.
Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a cute little town. Will have to keep that place in mind!
Oh I’m going there. Maybe put together a comic crawl and hit a bunch of these places
Putnam Connecticut Added to the list of side trips. Lol. Definitely need to go with a budget though.
Holy, is this guy Swagglehaus's older brother?! AWESOME VIDEO!!
New subscriber, loved your video. My 20 yr old daughter and I love to hunt for comics at antique stores. Thanks for the channel!
You got some great books at nice prices, but you're correct, most of the other prices appeared pretty high. Not sure what % fees on sales an antique mall gets but it must be comparable to Ebay or a convention to warrant those prices. The majority of books surely weren't priced to move. There were a lot of higher end books out for display to the casual public in the places you reviewed. As a collector, that's what would make me extremely nervous. Little kids or others who may casually flip through the boxes, damage, theft, who knows what else, pretty much left unsupervised. I think the odds of someone walking off with or damaging that Journey Into Mystery 112, for example, are many times greater than someone actually dropping $800 on it in an antique mall. You have a good eye! Thanks for sharing!
Would love to have the glass cleaning contract for the antique store, just so I could afford some of those comics.
Great video great books! Killer finds you got this week awesome! Any Jack Kirby cover is awesome to me. I have quite a few myself. I don't have that one yet though LOL
That so awesome your wife enjoys going to these stores too. And your son is enjoying collecting reading comics also.
Enjoyed how you showed the interior art. Nice add to show. Great stack lucky you lol.
Nice grabs…
Envy alert🤗..i wish i live in the USA..no such luck here where i am now..all good comic stores long gone..no such antique stores. 🙏
Amazing video!!!
I popped a bit when I saw the ROM: Space Knight #1.
Great video as always, and great books!
Almost nabbed it! Just a bit overpriced and now I’m on the lookout for one.
Before the hype and fomo the first spot was my honey hole 👌🏼
Truly fun vid and likin that merch you show off cuz they intrigue which I enjoy since I make book trailers for some comics on channel so I always got an eye out for different stories which you nicely reveal w/ some good notes for buyers. I'm an X-Men fan and have been debating which other story to do since I did one in the past, and you gave some good ideas so thanks!
Someone recommended your channel to me, it's great to see someone else making videos that just does it for the love of collecting. Love the video! I made a note about Putnam, holy cow that looks like a comic mecca
Great video very enjoyable thanks
Thanks for sharing im definitely taking a trip during my winter layoff
Nice pick ups. I work about 15-20 minutes away from Putnum and on days when I can get out of work early I usually head over there to check out what I can find. I have been going to those 3 places for over 3 years now. I always find good deals. Wonderland is a great store with awesome owners. I remember finding Batman Beyond 25 (the foil cover) at Antiques marketplace for $2. Found Avengers Forever 1 Kang variant at Jeremiah's for $3. And wonderland always has great sales throughout the year. Nice job highlighting this small town. If I was a better youtuber I could have done this. LMAO. Awesome video, great christmas gift for your son. Maybe one day will run into each other. Have a good day.
Great finds. Usually at markets like that the books are WAY overpriced, but these didn't look too-too bad based on some of those conditions. Those Marvel Premieres with the Brunner art are something to feast your eyes on!
Very cool cover on DC524.
Nice pick ups for sure. Those particular shops etc are like holy moly, do I have at least a whole day and about 2 or $3000 . Very cool to say the least. 😎👍
love your videos awesome haul
Good to see another new england comic collector. Im from Western mass. Merry christmas. My first video of yours but will be watching from now on
Thanks! I definitely love to have local watchers!
Love the DD #43 pick! I bought a similar copy as a kid in the mid 80s for 4 or 5 bucks just because the cover was so damn cool. Didn't have much of a budget back then but it was a pure impulse buy.
This is the third video I’ve watched. It just popped up last night. We were getting storms during the night and I brought up TH-cam on my tv. I love your channel. Everyone’s comments are spot on. I enjoy watching your enjoyment of comics. It’s fun seeing you get excited and enjoying the fun of the hunt. I also enjoyed that you showed everything in the antique stores and fleas markets. It felt like we were really there. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!
What an awesome place, I would of spent weeks there 🤣
Great pick ups at amazing prices, well done 👏🏻
Love the channel man, keep it up!
Thanks Zach!
I collect Kirby but I had never seen that Daredevil cover before. Great cover and you got a great deal on it.
Love the cyclops cover. Really enjoying your channel!
All those books lying around. I think the chance for damage by the public is so high, it makes me sad.
Definitely need to do a good handful of videos there and one with jack in the box😋Loved the slabbed Predator comic at the start of the video. When you put that Shi book aside I thought you'd buy it🍪 definitely good to see more of your underated DC comic appreciation thrown. Never saw Crocs original look. More DC for sure.
Got to be a top 5 Kirby cover
Wow!!! Amazing finds!!!!!!
Thanks!
That DD #43 definite ace cover and great idea for those long gone days of colorful in yr face approach. Nowadays most comic covers are too dull in visual color presentation.😎
I grew up in that area Putnam is known as an antique place I should have checked those out when I was there a few months ago
First time watching your channel, i think its great!
I live in NY, and find CT is great for antique hunting. So many little spots and antique malls. I typically stay towards the southern part of CT. I fill my car every time I visit.
The Daredevil book was awesome
Id have to clear a week to dig every box. Springfield Missouri has some good LCSs.
Very cool video. When I get back to MA to visit family. I just may need to take a drive to Putnam, CT for some comic books.
That is one blessed town!
New to USA collecting. Very fascinated by your managing of time and cash (I would not get out of those boxes till I thoroughly check every one of them).
I’m definitely not great at it! But I guess I’m still pretty frugal when it comes to buying stuff in general. And yes, time wise I just have to tell myself to stop and that I can’t look at everything.
I'm so mad lol, why can't my places be more like that. Great haul and Love that Daredevil cover it's amazing. Saw some Batmans in there that I would definitely be interested in getting for sure.
I recently picked up the same Daredevil book. I would have bought ALL the Daredevil books from that shop. You can't beat that price. Really nice pick ups!
Dude!! I knew you were going to love and be overwhelmed there all at once! I'm stoked you had some great days there! I have had good luck at that corner booth over at Jeremiah's myself. Wonderland Comics is also a great LCS....BUT.... I know of a better one (in my opinion at least) over in Worcester called That's Entertainment. I would say that is the Mecca of LCS's in Central Massachusetts and definitely worth a trip to check out.
Thank you so much for the recommendations! Putnam was amazing. I still haven’t made it to Wonderland. It definitely on my list next time I’m in the area.
Amazing pick ups for a great price!!! I wish I had a comic store like these in California!
LOVE that DD cover. I thought you'd grab the bulbous-headed Flash comic for sure. It would stand out on your wall!
Oh ma I thought about it. The only hold up was there was some serious damage to the cover. Otherwise I would’ve been all over it
First video I’ve watched from you, subbed!
Thank you!
great finds i gotta take a trip to putnam
