    Hey everyone, one thing I really hope isn’t lost in the video is how many people I have to thank for helping me get this book. It’s not just the diligent hunting that leads to good things, it’s the personal connections you make along the way that provide so many great opportunities.
    So a special thanks to Allan the Comic Collector Geek, Ryan from Automatic Comics, and Archie Andrews for all their great advice, to Rohan from Absolute Game of Nerds for connecting me with Steve, to Steve and Comic Link for the great personal touch their company provided, to Comic Spa for their exemplary work on the book, and of course to everyone else who provided information and followed my journey to this book.
    It takes a village sometimes and our comic book community is a village full of wonderful people!

      I would like to thank you for promoting and normalizing about being frugal in buying comic books. A lot of collectors try to "keeo up with the jonses" and buy expensive grails and just shun other collectors that are frugal and want a good deal. It's like "Show how rich you are."

      I computed the value of all the comics you have on display in your wall and I think it's worth roughly 15-16,000 dollars. If you add your X-men 1 there then it's worth 20,000 dollars. Make sure you have tight security in your house. Buy a few added padlocks on the doors, keep your house fire and calamity proof and get comics insurance.

    Great story. Congrats on the Holy Grail book. I grew up poor as well and got free lunch from the school. Sold my lunch for 25 to 50 cents and bought comics which were 25 to 30 cents at the time. My mother found out and was not happy.

    I’ve got some tears in my eyes for you. How you aren’t more emotional about it I’ll never know. I know you are keeping it together for the video. I will be where you are one day. I’ve been saving for years. $10 a paycheck for so long. Now doing $30. I’m ready to be a member of the x-men #1 club

    Great story. I wish I never gave and sold my Bronze Age collection for pennies on the dollar in the early 2000’s to lighten the load when I was moving. I’ll never collect BB cards and comics again, so I’ll live through your channel. Great content and an even better delivery that keeps me engaged and reminiscing about my Captain America and collection of X-Men comics from the 70’s and early 80’s… smh

  • @KenJohnson5ve
    @KenJohnson5ve 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I understand the struggle during childhood for getting comics with whatever coins you had in your pocket. I can totally relate. I got comics from the local grocery stores and the 7-11. Those 3 packs for 99c were the best. And hearing that turnstile with new books was music to my ears. Well done on getting that X-Men 1.

  • @DrewW57
    @DrewW57 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Congratulations!!! This is so great. I had a chance at a LCS back in the late 70"s to buy X-Men #1 of the wall for $100.00 but I had only been working for a year or so. That was a lot money back then and I just could not justify it to my myself. I passed on it and have regretted it ever since. LOL Still can't afford it but seeing you do it brings a lot of joy. Enjoy your prize. You earned it.

    @jEdi_bUddhA_YOGi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Love the story. My lil' brother & I too were somewhat poorer than the average kid. Never had money to buy comics. So, similar to your story; my mother couldn't make our lunch every Friday, so she would give us $3 each to buy a pizza pizza slice or a 6" subway sandwich. My brother & I bought a beef patty instead for 75 cents, & used the rest of the money to buy our comic book. & if we didn't find any books we wanted that Friday, we would hit up the arcade (local convince store) & play arcade games. Loved the video. & that 1.8 looks superb to my eyes! Awesome find, & awesome trade!!

    "Wow, stumbling upon your channel was like finding a hidden treasure chest of inspiration! Your dedication, creativity, and passion for comic books shine through every video. Watching you fearlessly pursue your goals and dream books, has truly motivated me to do the same in my own life, and maybe start a channel of my own someday. I too have a love of X-Men comics, I have a run from #50 - #544, and I'm still trying to complete that run from #1. X-Men #1 and Giant Size X-Men #1 are my two grail books, and I have been trying to find some way to afford those books. Seeing this video has inspired me to keep hunting and put some extra work in searching in strange and unusual places, and who knows maybe I can have a story like yours. Thank you, for being such a beacon of light and showing us all what's possible when you put some work in and follow your heart!"

    Congratulations! My wife bought me a 0.5 X-men #1 for Xmas this year. I cried. Like yours, it is the best presenting .5 ever. Some writing on the cover, but most damage on the back. I display it PROUDLY and tell everyone how awesome my wife is! 😁

    Mike, Congratulations! I enjoy watching your channel! You have so many friends who are here for you! Wishing everyone all the best! I lost my best friend in 2020. I read comics in the 70’s, I started X-Men with the Along Came A Spider, a reissue of the 60s story. I read X-Men till I graduated HS in 1980. The late 80s I met my friend Bruce, we did a comic book together. He got me reading again he started me on the Dark Knight Returns and got me caught up on X-Men. I started buying books again in ‘88 and I’m still buying. We used to buy titles and loan them to each other. I miss my best friend, he and his family were like a adopted family. They looked out for me after my parents passed away. His sister is the only one left and we look out for each other. I don’t have anyone to talk to about comics around here. I’m glad I found your channel. Your love of comics and your big heart makes me feel at home here. You inspire us, keep up the great work!

    Dang, you almost retold my childhood, didn't have much money, scrounging up change, turning in cans so I could ride across town and grab a couple comics from the bargain bin. I'm 45 and just getting back into comics as my son is now interested. Congrats on obtaining your grail. What a great story as well.

    Wow. Congratulations man. I''ve been looking at your videos for a couple weeks, not long, but the look on your face and the gleam in your eyes were priceless. I think only fellow collectors can identify with moments like those. X-Men no. 1 is definitely in my top 3. Keep up these great videos. Before I go I just want to mention I'm looking at your videos in Trinidad and Tobago. Your videos are easy to relate to because of your joy and enthusiasm. Keep it up!!

    I enjoy your videos. Ever since I was watching your videos and I see you looking through a box of comic books. And I see a comic book about doctor who. The same week I was at a swap meet and I saw three old issue of doctor who. I waited but never went back. I’m allot like you when I shop at antic stores and swap meets. Glad you could find the thrill in the hunt.

  • @bean6344
    @bean6344 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    My story is much like yours (but a few years older). I used to skip school lunch to buy comics at the LCS. I also buy, trade and flip stuff from garage sales as a side hustle on the weekend. No major comic book scores like you found, but I have turned $3 into a hundred or more a few times. It is a fun hobby but one needs to make sure they are listing as much as possible weekly. Most everything I buy is in the $1 to $3 realm, so I spend less than $40 on average a week. It paid for 4 weekend vacations last year and I have already funded a trip to C2E2 in April.

  • @EddieTheComicGuy
    @EddieTheComicGuy 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    First CONGRATULATIONS on getting your grail!!! I know what that feels like. The absolute elation finally having "The book" you've been searching for. I'm a comic collector on a budget so I'm always finding ways outside the box to get my hands on books I'm hunting. Whether it be trading for it, with some books I picked up on the cheap, or offering up some one of a kind piece of art (being an amateur artist can have its benefits). Or one day your landlord's kooky niece knocks on your door and hands you a New Mutants 98 in a Huge stack of comics (true story). The finding of the book makes all the work you put in so worth it. Thank you for sharing that awesome story. Enjoy your newest edition to your collection!!!

    So happy for you! I am a big X-Men fan and had a #1 that was a 4.0. Sadly I had a midlife crisis and sold my collection in 2005. I regret it until this day. I have rebuilt my collection and now only need #1 and #4 to complete the first ten issues. It's going to be a struggle to obtain another copy of #1. However, as collectors we all know half the fun is the "hunt" and never knowing when you will find the next treasure for your collection. So thrilled for you Lunch Money!!!!!!!!

    @willthebeast8002 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What a great story and great video Mike.
    I think I might have shared back when I first subscribed to your channel, but our origins are identical. I also come from very humble beginnings. I also would go hungry to save, forage and scrounge literal loose change, to then walk 30 mins in 30° weather, on several occasions through snow, to buy my books. That's when I was about 10, I'm 45 now and I still own and cherish every book I ever bought, every last one.
    The serendipity of how you came across this jewel encompasses the spirit and magic of what I find so appealing about this hobby.
    I don't collect as much as I used to after recently finishing my runs of ASM and Uncanny, but I enjoy your videos because I relive the thrill of the hunt, the people you meet along the way, and of course the exhilaration of discovering that diamond in the rough, so to speak.
    I thank you, God bless you, and good luck!

  • @axiomantcomics
    @axiomantcomics 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
