- I recently had someone reach out to me via my Craigslist ad, letting me know that they had comic books for sale. After a bit of back and forth, we came to an agreement on the price, and decided to meet up for the transaction. Did I come out on top, or will this be a learning lesson? Let me know what you think of my $65 Craigslist Comic Book Collection in the comments below!

INFO
Thanks for checking out my video and channel! I'm just a casual collector of comics, toys, and other memorabilia - mostly from the 80's and 90's. I've been working on building up my collection for the last few years, and figured I'd share my experiences with everyone. Hope you stick around!

yikes thats a pass for me dawg
Should have been a pass for me too. Thankfully I can throw them in my booth and they will slowly make my money back.
Typing out my thoughts (not comprehensive) as the video goes along: New Heroic Comics has a Henry Kiefer painted cover. that was Magnus Robot Fighter 18, the Superman MOS 18 and 19 are keys and should go in the other pile. JLA 179 is Firestorm joining minor key, Vision and Scarlet Witch 12 first appearance of her kids is a key. X-Men 281 is a first print first Jim Lee work on title, plus other stuff.
Thank you for the analysis! I'll definitely have to put a few of those to the side. Can you clarify the Jim Lee comment? I thought his first work was 248.
So great to see another video from you and love that format of processing the books with the voiceover.
Thank you! Too bad it wasn't better books to process, but lesson learned. 🙃
May have not been many keys but i watched it till the end bc I like your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
I agree that it may not have been worth $65. There were some other minor keys in the Death of Superman story, and a few in Shadows of the Bat, but condition would be everything. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Like you said, condition is key, and maybe I'll be more picky with my next collection purchase.
The Vision and Scarlet Witch issue 12 is 1st Thomas Shepard and 1st Billy Kaplan aka Speed and Wiccan that's a book worth pulling.
Worth pulling and holding onto for at least a year. If what the "scoopers" say is real, Young Avengers is definitely coming and will at least some of the story for a Hawkeye Season 2. Assuming this is not just wishful thinking, I wouldn't sell it now for $5. I would wait until the hype train pops this book and he can recoup maybe half his money. What else has he go to lose? I don' think that it is going to get LESS valuable. I mean it already peaked because of WandaVision, but it is also didn't drop back down into the 50 cent bins either. They sprinkled those characters into that show and hopefully there will be a payoff in a year or two.
I'll put it to the side and see where it goes. At $0.36 spent on it, I can't complain too much 😁
I would Hold On to this comic has Real Potential for future this 1 book might have made this a good buy (condition is everything though ) 👍
That New Heroic Comics looks nuts
It's like that show Rescue 911 from the 80s and 90s, but in comic form 🤣
Noticed a Brave and Bold Whitman variant. Not sure if that has any value. If anything if was an interesting range. Makes me curious about collecting habits. Although a lot of DC Superman, Justice League and Green Lantern. Can't win em all. Great vid.
I'll have to look at that one again - I believe I looked into it after I filmed, and didn't really find it to be too notable. Thanks for watching!
I'm Not sure if I would've paid $65, I think your offer of $50 was more than generous
I let the thrill of the hunt get to me - I'll try to keep that in mind on the next one. Thanks for watching!
Woah love the video quality and video idea!
Thank you! I was using a different microphone in this video, and I can't decide whether or not I want to use it more going forward, or stick with my wireless set. As far as the video idea goes, this is what most of my channel is about - picking up collections, and comic hauls, so hopefully you stick around and become a subscriber if you aren't already. :D
You should do a video showing your antique booth space.
It's coming - most likely an A to Z process video from comic acquisition to final sale at the booth. :D
you did all right .
Math homework on a book can trash any book!🤣😂🤣😂
Now I am Googling casual goodbyes.
I don't mind the random store stamp or written date, but the homework just killed me :D
Curious how you got your top down view setup.
My camera was on a tripod leaned against the table on two legs. Then I just aimed it straight down to the tabletop. Lighting was a single light panel on the left and a ring light to the right. Hope that answers it for you!
Thanks for making the video. Do you buy graded books as well as raw?
I do buy graded books as well, but not as often, and they have to be something I really want.
That lot was $20 at best. Good luck getting your money back.
I'll do my best :D
I really enjoy your videos!
😉
X-Men number 8 is a minor key
People still use Craig's List?!?! 😮
🤣 Absolutely!
Lol yup it's still thriving
This was a dud collection.
For sure!
