Love watching you look through a newly-acquired collection! Once again, a guy who massively set off my CDO with his "organization skills," lol! Who actually STORES their s*** that way?!? Anywho…love these vids. Looking forward to the next batch.
It’s criminally underrated. Those books used to be highly sought after and fetched a premium as they were/are hard to find out in the wild. Real low print run. People seem to have forgotten about that spectacular run.
These savage collectors who don't organize their boxes. 😡 Curious, do you just go hunting and then go home and throw them in a box and never go back and look at them again(it's clear there's no reading going on)? I've seen a ton of collection videos where it seems this is the case. To wit: WHAT IS THE POINT 🤷🏽♂️ The thrill of the hunt is fine but why waste time AND money that way?
Dude at this moment I have over 26,200+ comics. I only organize boxes by, Marvel, DC and all else goes into the Indy boxes. Everything is logged into CLZ then I leave it alone. That’s all way too much energy
Not knowing where anything is takes more energy. I take runs and/or artists out of my collection and display/show them to those around me who are interested. You can't do that if you don't organize and don't know where everything is; THAT, would take more energy. 🤷🏽♂️m@@dwaynesmith9482
Heard, but how do you actually appreciate your efforts to collect if you don't organize? Alpha numeric by big two and indies . . . At least? 😬@@Mr_Rob_otto
I don’t understand why Gary keeps apologizing for the lack of major keys. I like looking at variants and modern books that I’m not aware of. There are a lot of future keys in there, which of course, aren’t going to have a lot of value for years to come. Maybe never, but the owner of this collection really bought into the spec market.
I wouldn't go so far as to say they suck, but, yeah, for some reason people fell in love with his stuff and now publishers are flooding the market with Scottie Young variants. I can take it or leave it.
I genuinely don’t understand the interest in getting writers and artists to sign and deface books they’ve worked on. Do they really fetch more on the secondary market? Sure, books signed by Stan, Jack, and the early big boys are valuable but that’s because they’re more scarce and they aren’t around anymore. (Other than Stan who went on a signing spree as he aged). And I get modern big boys like McFarlane and Liefeld, though there are so many of their signed books out there now. But artists like Parillo or Tynion? Who cares? The comic book community idolizes and has turned these people into minor celebrities, which to me is nuts. It’s all a money grab. By the artists, their management, and the re-sellers. I don’t get it.
Thanks for sharing, Gary. Lots of good books.
Great collection!
I really like your set up with a comic book and associated characters statues displayed with the book. I like that..
Congratulations on scoring hundreds of "4 for $1" books.
Great video!

"that's what she said" lol heard that
Wolverine #50 19:49 is the Justin Mason variant
The Clash London Calling reference @13:16
17:45 was that an ultimate Spider-Man 1? That’s a $100 book
This was a bust, no Savage Dragon 😄
HAFA ADAI Gary! Love these Videos! IslandJ
in with the Canto
Gotham City Sirens artwork was something special.

I think that Defenders in the second box was the first Subby v. Black Panther.
Box 2 was pretty good
17:05 Brave/Bold #58 is 2nd Appearance of Metamorpho
19:14 Wolverine #50 Justin Mason variant
At 1052 and 1055.... First Hammerhead and first Abomination
Whatever happened to the intro music? I usually hum it at the beginning of every vid😂
Out of the blue, it became a copyright issue.

@@dwaynesmith9482Same. Once you amass a large amount of books, it gets overwhelming and takes a lot of time and work to try to re-organize.

That j Scott Campbell danger girl is a pricey book.
There is plenty of good books so far

@@Mr_Rob_otto I definitely agree
“Full of keys”……aka 4 “keys” which are basically garbage.
👍👍👍
I don't get why people like Scotty Young covers. They suck
His baby art is absolutely horrible. Not sure why it’s so popular.
It’s like if Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes creator) decided to draw superhero comic book covers. Same exact style.
I like them. 🤷🏻♂️

Personally I wouldn’t get the G. I. Joe 21 signed. No disrespect to Larry Hama but the guy signs everything.

First
Can you please stop telling us you’re going to get certain books signed by certain creators at NYCC? Nobody cares.
I disagree. A lot of people care. They watch the videos and get excited seeing those books signed in the whatnot streams.
@@VeryGaryComics- Agreed. We do. Pay no mind to haters. 😎
I like hearing about what he's going to get signed.. its cool to me.. and I like hearing how terrific ..TerrificCon is😊
the SIKTC is #36 a 1 per store Artgerm
