Great finds! Especially Archie! Today I found a great book I think. Found a copy of XMEN #83 along came a spider! My first and only XMEN book!
That Archie Official Store Club Magazine is a big time book. I haven’t seen that particular issue but have seen similar books sell for $2k+ ten years ago. I do believe it to be in the $10k-12k range. Looks like it would be the only one on census if you get it graded. Absolutely amazing find for $5!
I forgot to mention, comic connect is in the process of auctioning off the Bobby Blue collection. Absolutely massive books being sold so there are a lot of deep pockets with eyes on the next few auctions (the books are being split between multiple auctions). If you’re looking to sell this, it may be a good idea to get this book in one of those auctions if you can get it graded quickly enough.
Defintly need to get that graded and the more and more people that see it and once you get it graded you should find out more and more about it! I wouldn't let it go for less than $1,000
Surprised that the Overstreet doesn't list that Archie in the promotional comics section. Must be in the rare to non-existent category! -- Congrats on the great haul.
Thanks so much for the info! I'm not sure I'll be able to get it graded before then but hopefully I can find some good connections through that.
1940's comics archie or not is a great pick up.
OMG! that is some old stuff.
I am so jealous of that Superman. Way to go!
The Timely/Atlas/Marvel Goodgirl connection is still in play today. One of those good girls was Patsy Walker. She was frenemies with a girl named Hedy (not Hedy Devine though). And she stayed in comics long enough to make it to Marvel in the 70s. Then she found a superhero costume and became Hellcat.
And in the 80s married Hellstorm son of Satan. Divorced him and most recently dated Tony Stark.
I love the most recent Hellcat series and what they've been doing with her. I'm more of a DC fan overall but Hellcat in particular is one I enjoyed reading
Yowsers! A truly great score- good hustle at the estate sale!!
Ohhh man, what a good story! The early bird gets the worm.. great Archie $5 pick up as I know what it’s lead you to and how much it means adding a big book like that to your collection. Awesome video Mike!
Come on Mike, raining cats and dogs is a classic! 😂
Love those two yellow covers!!! You are right, yellow is an awesome color for comics. Great hunt
The fact that you went straight for the Superman book says alot.....exactly what I would have done !!! Those yellow covers just grab your eye ...Love it ,Nice job !!! 👍💯%
Congrats on the golden age haul!!!!
Nice haul! I always wanted to go to an Estate sale and find comics.
Whoa! Nice finds! I also know very little about Golden Age books but they’re all wonderful. My vote goes to the Archie book for the best purchase!
Yo, was waiting for this video. I'm the one right behind you in line
I was hoping to get that archie, condition looks great
Hey, thanks for checking out the video! Sorry I don’t sleep! I hope you got some good stuff though?
Fantastic Haul great job
Amazing haul, well done!
Love it. Thanks for the shoutout my friend.
That golden age Superman book is awesome and i would get it cleaned and graded by CGC just to have a golden age Superman to display on your wall,awesome pick ups.
Congratulations on the score. 😊
WORLDS FINEST 😮😮😮😮 🤩 GREAT JOB MAN
Amazing score! And I haven't even watched the video yet.
Great haul! Good data and find. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic!!!
That yellow Superman cover will look nice on the back wall
It sure does, I love it!
You lived my dream with this haul!!! I have been to MANY estate sales that had comics but they were either overpriced, very beat AND overpriced, or stuff nobody wanted AND overpriced. That Archie book I know (as said previously) was a store giveaway . Mostly with kids shoes. Store that one carefully. It may end up being worth 10k ( I know a guy who collects Archie and have heard him mention these giveaway comics) or it could be worth couple hundred bucks. Either way, you paid $5 for it. Buying that wasn't a gamble. Most anything from the Golden Age is worth that. Congrats. I just can't imagine walking in and seeing those books on the table! Wow!!!!
Great video and pick up!
If I was there first like you, I would have scooped them all up and bought all of them. Those golden age are so hard to find and for those cheap prices.
Yeah a lot of people asked me why I didn’t get them all and it’s because they were only accepting cash and I didn’t have more on me. Some companies take check or card but this one didn’t and it kinda threw me off
gotta love estate sales well done
What an incredible find, Mike! Those golden age comics are treasures!
What beautiful books you don’t see to often. What a great day that turned out to be for you. I commend you on the 2 hour wait but boy it paid off. I always picture people rummaging through attic’s to find these kind of books. I’d say they are in good hands now! Congrats!
To: LCM,
Discovered your channel today. Awesome Estate finds. I’m a long time collector.
About a year ago, I got into building a Slabbed comic book collection.
Now, I’m in the market looking for a new Presser, my last one went out of business recently.
I’ve emailed Spa Comic, waiting to hear back from them.
I’ve subscribed to LMC.
Thank you,

I’m so happy you found the channel and thank you so much for subscribing, I hope you enjoy the content! And Jeff is awesome of course.
I sent the video to my friend who knows way more then I do about comics.... hopefully he knows and can get ahold of you

@@lunchmoneycomics thank you Mike really am thankful to watch these videos really has helped I mean that
Good score. I would have just bought all the comics.
Hi Mike. The early bird catches the worm, Kudos to you. Informative, interesting and entertaining, as always 😊
That superman need sealed lovely book, plus I can't find that book anywhere but the annual for that year sold for $2800 dollar at grade 6.0
Really great collection. I'm glad I could help you in my small way. Thanks again for the shout out too.
Thank YOU Allan for helping me out, I always appreciate your vast knowledge!
I really enjoyed checking out these books, way to go being the 1st one there that’s dedication
I would grade the Archie book! That could be a major dollars! Great buy all around!!
Patsy Walker a comedy romance comic book character from the golden age is also part of the 616 Marvel universe before she was called as Hellcat when she first debut by that name in 'The Avengers #144 1976'.
Patsy Walker also first appeared in Netflix Jessica Jones series who later could have become as Hellcat due to an experiment where she under went to volunteer for to become a super heroin, but the series then didn't pick up on her story until Netflix canceled all the Marvel series since they've lost the rights to Disney.
Nice review.
A race to the comics. Glad you were first...
Bob lubbers actually did a lot of great covers. Lots of rangers and wings etc. such great stuff.
Amazing scores Mike! That Archie book is crazy. Congrats!!
The Archie Official Store Club book wasn't for a physical Archie store but was a promotional tie-in with a department store. See the "SUPERMAN-TIM" issues you'll see floating around or listed in Overstreet- it was very similar to that and Fawcett tried to do something regionally like that. Very rare and hey, even if it's not worth a lot it IS scarce and rather unique- and would look cool hanging on the wall. Congrats!
That was an amazing haul!
I also appreciate the More Fun, World's Finest and Superman books in any condition.
Welcome to the golden age! Fantastic finds. The GGA timelys were super cheap years ago but are highly collectible now. I’m also an Archie collector and that giveaway looks incredible. Thanks for sharing
Wow. Amazing. Nothing else needed. I love that Superman. I always wanted that one.
i was at that same Estate sale, but a day later, they still had a few comics left, mostly Disney, looney toons ones, so i grabbed the rest of the Disney ones. Love me some Disney
Very interesting! I knew they were going all weekend but I’m shocked there were any left. Did you get anything good?
I wish I could’ve got that worlds finest and the Superman
That was awesome. I don’t understand why you did not just grab every single one of those books on the table? You got a good deal for those. Perhaps the rest you could’ve gotten for another hundred or so dollars
There are a few reasons, the biggest being that this particular estate company only accepted cash. I had my checkbook and credit card on me but was constrained to what was in my pocket. The second reason was the nature of how they ran it, even though I was first to the table anyone could grab anything so I couldn’t really just claim the whole table. I could’ve left to get more cash and came back to get what was left but I was very happy with the books I got.
Fantastic comics Mike. If you stop to think how many copies of each issue were sold and how many copies still exist today, you get an idea of how rare any Golden Age book is. That's why I jump on any I find for a fair price, regardless of condition as long as they're complete.
I think you'll need to explain what a typist is and the concept of the typing pool to the younger viewers.
A number of these female characters including Millie The Model appeared in updated form in Marvel's 2009 miniseries Models Inc.
The Archie Fan Club comic is the pick of the lot, potentially huge. Well done.
Another great vid that I can live vicariously through….real nice haul of golden age goodies.
Great finds my friend! My favorite is that Captain Midnight. Such a simple, yet effective sci-fi cover. Glad we both found some great books that day!
My favorite one is the Superman one, I saw you going straight for it and Told myself that exactly what I would have gone for first too. Amazing haul! That Archie though, has to be worth quite a bit, can’t wait till you find out.
And to think, you could have missed grabbing the Archie! And the other guy next to you could have just as easily scooped it up! Great split second decision LMC 👏🏻
Yes! I didn’t see it and I got nervous, then I caught a glimpse of orange and it wasn’t claimed… I was very lucky!
Cool finds ....on the hunt ...thank the friend! I like the Jumbo book and superhero books!
Bob Lubbers in The Texan was one of the Tarzan Artists in the daily strips.
Good Evening Michael
Fantastic show. I don't think I have seen you so pumped , it looked like a 10 coffee buzz! A those books, what delight! What ever you choose to do with them, you found them in the wild. That is a forever memory! And I also like to think of folks who created them, and of the kids that read them, how was their journey around the sun?
Incidentally the telegram people have been busy with you once more
Looking forward to the next episode.
Cheers al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
Nice haul! Never seen an estate sell with nice comics in my area. Have you done estate auctions? I would have missed those nice books with my limited knowledge. I learn a lot from your videos.
I haven’t done any auctions but I go to estate sales like this often
Wow. Great video. Love seeing some really nice Golden Age going to a great home. What amazing finds and prices. Just the history of where those books have been. Wow...can't say Wow enuff. Very nice pick ups Mike 👍
Thanks so much, I’m pretty excited about them!
I saw Bob Lubbers at his panel at the San Diego Comic Con in 2002. A very amiable and down-to-earth man. As an artist, Bob Lubbers was great! For the record, his name is pronounced "loo-bers".
Congratulations on Your Vintage comic book Gold. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦♥️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Very nice Mike! All of those are cool and the Hedy is very nice. That Archie is indeed super sharp! Congrats on the pickups!
That's a great score. Ryan @automaticcomics does a lot of Golden Age books. I've learned a lot watching his videos.
Stan Lee also used the first name Hedy for Hedy Wolfe, who was frenemies with Patsy Walker, whom she shared a comic with. Hedy DeVine, as you said, was later titled Hedy of Hollywood, drawn by Dan Decarlo.
good grabs by the way
Straight bee line for that comic table haha. I would have done the same, it’s very hard to find comics that old for sale besides for premiums from shops/dealers. $5-$20 a book is a good price range for golden age!
just 2 hours early?? the hunters must be sleeping up there! around my parts (Oklahoma) you have to be at estate sales like 4-5 hours early! nice finds!
Sometimes that's the case, I got lucky!
I agree. 5-6 hours at least. Many times slept in car middle of winter. Too old for that now
Wow!!! Great haul of comics. I do not currently own any Golden Age comics , but I am thinking about starting to collect them once I’m finished with my current collection of Silver/Bronze Age comics. Definitely got a lot of great books, one of my favorites that I would have definitely grabbed is the Texan comic. Keep up the great work. 😎
I've not seen that particular archine fanclub comic, but I've seen similar looking ones of that era sell for $3000-$5000
The algorithm posted this video for me and I'm glad it did! I had to comment because I also have the More Fun 106. I picked it up at some comic con 20-25 years ago for I'm guessing $50 (it's in considerably better condition than your find, and I need to get it graded). I'm a big Spectre fan so I've always liked that title. I have one issue with a Dr. Fate cover and another going way back to 1937. Anyway very cool finds for you, congrats.
I'm a huge captain midnight fan so great find and the superman find is fantastic to. Congrats bro....cheers 🤙🤙
I love the golden era comic book covers, especially the horror and space ones.
There is a guy at the University of Calgary (I'm not sure of he is still there) named Bart Beaty who is a comics scholar who is considered (in Canada anyway) to be an expert on Archie Comics. I think he's written some books on the comics and the MLJ company behind it; he may be able to help you identify it and push you in the right direction, maybe Allan can confirm...
That sounds promising, I'd love his opinion!
Allan and Alex definitely know their stuff!
Amazing beautiful finds brother 🙌🏾
I am so happy for you man! Congratulations on the books! And that More Fun Comics is really awesome! So many really fantastic books there, just wow!
What a blast! Thanks for taking us along. I am always intimidated by the competition at estate sales but I know some deals can be made there. Way to go!
The captain midnight cover is beautiful and awesome finds my guy
SCORE!!! Some day......😊😅
Amazing haul!!!
Congrats on the finds!
Really like adding the valuations in. Keep up the great work!
If that archie gets a 9.8 10k . Issue 9 (1949) in a 9.8 is 10k issue 8 (1949) in a 9.0 is 4k there pretty rare good find.
Great haul. Love em all
Congrads some great pick ups. Especially the Archie, Superman and World's Finest issues. I wish I could help you with the back story on that issue of Archie. That's awesome steal for $5 and it loos NM/Mint too. WOW!
Reminds me of a vacation I had in your neck of the woods around 20 years ago: vacation in Rhode Island and the local paper classifieds had a garage sale with comics.
I went and found a big pile of silver and Bronze Age Hulks, including 102 through 120 plus 181. He was asking a couple hundred which was more than fair, but I didn’t have ENOUGH cash! So, off to find an ATM in an unfamiliar area. The whole time hoping nothing would happen to the deal. Long story short, I got back in a short time.
Bonus extra copy of 181 under the other one in the same bag! Eventually got the best one CGCed at a 7.5.
By the way, all your good girl books are easily worth hundreds each. And impossible to find. I’ll take them over superheroes any day. Also, Jumbos and Jungles are virtually identical in value. I’ve never heard of one title worth more than the other.
Fantastic score that we all dream of. Well done!
Your copy of Nellie the Nurse #12 doesn't have a "Kurtzman cover" as you stated; Kurtzman drew some of the cartoons found on interior pages. The cover artist is currently unknown.
Awesome covers, love‘em all✔️👍
I would have grabbed the whole lot and make a deal 🤝
Wow. Incredible. Finding golden age superhero books in the wild is a rare bird these days. EC comics all have that crazy numbering too. I read one time that it cost money to register a new title, so they would change the title on the cover, but it would still be officially the old title and keep the old numbering.
Great video!
I find the older the comic the more interesting. Please do an update video if you end up sending them to comic spa.
Also, while I am not a CGC guy, I think that golden age books are more worthy of being graded.
Update video on that as well please ;)
Wow. Good deals and a good video. I have mixed emotions about estate sales because I’ve been on the other side of estate sales losing family members and their life collections. Im glad you got the comics because they went to a good home and at least to a person that will appreciate the books. Even if you sale the books it will help you in life. Thanks for sharing
Goddamn, that Archie is breathtaking. Congrats on what a haul!
Very cool stuff!
The early bird catches the comic books. lols Good pickups!
I agree with you that the world needs more info on this kind of "Collecting". As a former comic dealer at the Hollis NH Flea (18 years), I truly believe there are more people who collect via Fleas, YS's & thrift stores etc than buying Action #1. Dan
I wholeheartedly agree!
Archie club magazines are dependent on the covers, if it has one of the actors from the show it can go for multiple thousands even ungraded, not being a photo cover that one might be worth a bit less, however I think the illusion of negative space with jugheads sweater could boost it higher. I would conservatively put it in that condition at at least $1.5K to $2k graded I think the sky might be the limit.
You got some cool books wowww great finds
