    Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I am a lapsed comic book fan from the early 90s who got back into it this past year. Your videos have definitely reignited a passion/hobby for finding not just old books from my youth, but finding weird and interesting books in interesting places. I made my way to a warehouse sale last weekend (300,000 books priced at 50 cents a piece), and was able pull such fun books. Thank you for making these!

    I am so excited for you when you find great stuff. I really enjoy your videos for this reason. They depress me a little when I realize a lot of the great stuff that I sold off decades ago on Ebay. This was before cleaning & pressing and slabbing was a thing. I sold my Hulk 181 for $500, but this was before the X-Men movies started. If I had held onto it and gotten it graded, I could probably have paid off my mortgage. I was a condition snob when I used to collect. I had a lot of great keys and a lot of unusual stuff. I even had a completed Marvel Value Stamp book. (I wasn't the one who did it though.) I do still have some good stuff, but alas, not the treasure trove that it was.

    Had loads through the 300' not as many in the 200 ' and a nice smattering in the 100's such as a lovely copy of 181. All had to go as I needed a few quid & I couldn't move what I had as I had to move home quickly.

I currently spend 100-140 a day whilst still trying to fund the hobby by profits but it's soooo hard to not hold onto something that you really want to keep but don't need.
