Most people who post unboxing videos only get excited when they find an expensive book, but Chycho appreciates them all, which makes this so much more fun to watch. Well done!
Fun! For the record, I usually re-watch these video a day or two after loading them on, that's after hours I spent editing them. Fun to watch in retrospect to see what state of mind i was in during the creation process :)
congrats on receiving such a nice lot of fantastic old comics in very solid shape there, Chycho! We could see from the smile on your face that you seemed delighted to add these comics to you already incredible collection. but mostly I want to say it makes me really happy to see you settling into your new place. The natural light that comes in is completely amazing. Hope you have many nice calm hours of reading and relaxing with lot of sun and serene bird sounds. Btw the area you filmed punching out that archer and Armstrong stand up is crazy cool. maybe you can give us a full tour one day. peace. :D
Thank you for the amazing wishes, brother. It's a beautiful location and I definitely plan on creating some amazing little down and reading spaces. I will also slowly be shooting a lot of vids here so for sure you'll be seeing lots of it... on that note, the next video that i'll be loading up next week will be about how i'm managing these boxes of comics.
That star spangled comics book is just awesome, I'm so jealous over the price of that one nice job. I watched the whole video and really enjoyed the cartoon covers. I find it interesting how little Disney and Loony Tune books can sell for times because mainly you will see them really marked up.
Thanks, Capn. I was super happy on the buy as well. As for the cartoon books, I absolutely love them. Some of their covers just put a huge smile on my face, the Rootie Kazootie cover was absolutely beautiful from this batch.... and since the books aren't considered "hot", they are selling at a ridiculously low price, less than $2 for some of these books, Awesome! :)
Me too. I wish I had more funds, I'd be grabbing a lot more of these books. I think they are incredibly important as well as beautiful, all the pre-code anyway.
These videos mean so much to me chycho, thank you. Listening to you is so relaxing. I am struggling with depression and anxiety but for an hour 22 minutes my mind was completely serene. It's almost like a form of meditation, or Mindfulness. Thank you.
chycho Well Okay! Did ya know my grandfather had birthday yesterday (72) and also loves mathematics, he always helped with homework and when i had to do math with my grandpa i always kinda got tired. works really well as ASMR.
I don't know about the genius part, brother, but i'm very happy that the videos are hitting the spot for you, and thank you for the complement. Peace :)
Good morning, Chycho! I wish you a lovely day. Another comicbook i would love to recommend is *Elektra Lives* (a special issue from Frank Miller) in 1994.
I believe the top staple automatically takes it down to a 6.0 or 7.0. I know Etanick, a youtuber did an indepth grading series on his channel going through that whole process.
Hey chycho, not sure if you remember me, just wanted to update you, I bought Justice League of America 25 and X-Men 17 the other day and they came. Still trying to zero in on some early Daredevil comics, but I found those at a great price and had to pick them up.
Early Justice League and X-Men, at a great price, nice buys! Right now for some reason it's a great time to be buying books that aren't considered "hot"... if you're patient and look around you will find some great deals.... not sure how long that will last though so happy buying :) As for early daredevils, the prices on those are slowly starting to climb up, we'll see what happens as Netflix grows their Marvel based series. So far so good, amazing first two seasons and Jessica Jones blew away my expectations.
+Eclipse Band You are in for a treat when you do watch, it was everything everyone was hoping for and more. Blew away expectations... by the way, one word, torrent.... and when you can afford it make sure you support what you love.... that's legit in my book.
I have some Atlas, my first comic book reading was actually an Atlas book, Mystic #6, Basil Wolverton's 'The Eye of Doom!' th-cam.com/video/6rkZzsrVQsU/w-d-xo.html As for Atlas, I may have one or two kicking around, wouldn't be more than that though. I'll work on getting more ;)
+TheBr1gand I haven't sold comics for a very long time, over 15 years or so. I will be at some point though. I want to get rid of some doubles and triples and what not and buy some books that I don't have so it'll be a good way to transfer funds from certain books to others.
+TheBolivian3 Sure thing, I actually ended up buying another 60+ books off of him in the last couple of weeks as well, his user name is magyar1261 ... his feedback rating has gone up a lot in the last few weeks as well...just keep in mind that there are a lot of smaller sellers on ebay that are worth checking out... i might also do another comic book haul vid once the next set arrives as well :) on that note, hope the bidding wars don't start now since i like buying from him, but he is a very nice seller so i hope he gets premium prices for his books.
+Nicolas Caicedo Just read it. WOW! What an amazing issue. Fantastic! So much goodness in that issue, so much... and now we know why the series is called Tokyo Ghost... what a great time to be alive and a comic book fan :)
I know!! not a lot of people understand how good this book is. I knew you were going to love the issue. I love Debbie, and to see such an evolution from that character is amazing. I hope the series continues as strong as it started!
+Nicolas Caicedo I hope it continues on this path. In 6 issues it's done so much. I would even go as far as saying that every issue is topping the next so I really can't see that slowing down any time soon and i hope it never does. As for the love this book gets, totally agree. I compare this series to some of the top selling books and my brain short circuits. It's like people are passing up watching "Blade Runner" so that they can watch "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" for the 20th time.
Rick Remender is just killing it with the book. Every issue he puts out makes the story more profound, and makes the world of Tokyo Ghost more interesting. If you enjoy super heroes as much as you enjoy independent books, i recommend you read the new Spider Man book (miles morales). Michael Bendis writes that book in an amazing way, and the art is just gorgeous, give it a try!!
I've read some manga, I don't actively collect it though. The ones I've read that stand out for me are Akira, Tekkonkinkreet, and Lone Wolf and Cub. All three were absolutely amazing.... and of course I've read some Battle of the Planets - fun. I am also a huge animation fan, both movies and series. IMHO, I believe that some of the greatest stories ever told have been through animation. Epic really.
framing of the comic books a year ago or so... pretty much... I've done way too many moves in the last few years. Purging and exercise... keeps me on my toes :)
You got some art and you did a video series on how to hang it. I thought that happened after a move, no? Then again, I'm usually asleep by the time you finish, so what do I know? ;-)
Oh yes, that's right. That was a mini move last year. Love those three pieces and they will definitely be going up in our new and hopefully more permanent space. We've actually ended up moving two blocks away from where that was. Good memory by the way :)
+The Relaxation Station haha... I'm thinking about reading Bugs Bunny Vacation #1 for the next set but I don't think I'll do the voices though... I would probably just end up laughing throughout the whole reading :)
Thanks, Pontus. As for who I am and what brought me here, as with everyone it's a very long story. I've dropped a few hints here and there. maybe one day i'll do a Q&A and answer as many questions as I can... hmmm... not a bad idea actually. Until then, on my About Page on my site I do provide some info if you're interested: chycho.blogspot.ca/2010/07/welcome-to-chychoblogspotcom-restoring.html Anything specific you'd like to know?
![Comic Book Haul #9: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, and Modern Age Comics [ASMR - Male, Soft-Spoken]](/img/n.gif)
Most people who post unboxing videos only get excited when they find an expensive book, but Chycho appreciates them all, which makes this so much more fun to watch. Well done!
Literally watched this 3 nights in a row!! It's so relaxing
Fun! For the record, I usually re-watch these video a day or two after loading them on, that's after hours I spent editing them. Fun to watch in retrospect to see what state of mind i was in during the creation process :)

it's not just the calm voice, he also is talking about things i _actually_ am interested in.
That star spangled comics book is just awesome, I'm so jealous over the price of that one nice job. I watched the whole video and really enjoyed the cartoon covers. I find it interesting how little Disney and Loony Tune books can sell for times because mainly you will see them really marked up.

I always buy golden age books of those if the books have attached covers if they are priced at a $1 at book stores etc.
Me too. I wish I had more funds, I'd be grabbing a lot more of these books. I think they are incredibly important as well as beautiful, all the pre-code anyway.
Yeah I don't buy any of the 70's or later for the fact of space reasons.
In my opinion these are the best ASMR videos on TH-cam. Thanks for the new video, made my evening yesterday :)
+Rick Munster You're very welcome, Rick, and thanks for the love :)
Peace.
These videos mean so much to me chycho, thank you. Listening to you is so relaxing. I am struggling with depression and anxiety but for an hour 22 minutes my mind was completely serene. It's almost like a form of meditation, or Mindfulness. Thank you.
My pleasure, Amani. Peace :)
Thank you for sharing your passion for comics
My pleasure, it's always fun to share :)
+chycho Still waiting for that Sandman roleplay tho
haha... how about we settle for a Sandman reading for the next set?
chycho Well Okay! Did ya know my grandfather had birthday yesterday (72) and also loves mathematics, he always helped with homework and when i had to do math with my grandpa i always kinda got tired. works really well as ASMR.
Fun! I find grandparents do tend to make me sleepy, that's for sure, and doing old school math with them, well that must be dreamland right away :)
Your videos are incredible and are helping me through a very tough time. And you're also a well versed genius :) cheers mate, never stop.
I don't know about the genius part, brother, but i'm very happy that the videos are hitting the spot for you, and thank you for the complement. Peace :)
Good morning, Chycho! I wish you a lovely day. Another comicbook i would love to recommend is *Elektra Lives* (a special issue from Frank Miller) in 1994.
80's and early 90's Miller, can't go wrong with that :)
Yet another awesome video by chycho. Thanks brotha!
You're very welcome, richie. Peace :)
You have the most relaxing voice of all ASMR Artists ive ever watched :)
+tiemwalk I give credit to math, comic books and beards calming me down :)
chycho Comic books on how to calculate the length of a beard !
Thank you so much for these videos, they're so relaxing, they really helps to calm my anxiety like nothing else does 😊
My pleasure, Emily. Getting the books and going through the package makes the world a better place for me as well and i'm happy to share . Peace :)
Thank you for this video. I love ASMR rambles and this is excellent.
+Brian Douglas I love rambling, so it's my pleasure. Peace :)
Such a calm easy going man! You rock Chycho!
Thanks, Rory. I do try my best. Peace :)
awesome video as always. love this series and the math series as well. look forward to more readings
Thanks, and me too regarding the readings. I've gone through a few boxes already and picked up some nice book to read. fun :)
@ 5:30
You're that guy from every math story problem lol
I believe the top staple automatically takes it down to a 6.0 or 7.0. I know Etanick, a youtuber did an indepth grading series on his channel going through that whole process.
Cool, good to know. At some point I'll put a little list together for myself with all the major hits. Crazy grading system they've developed.
He's a good source because he was actually offered a job with CGC but it didn't work out so he couldn't take it.
Found him. Thanks for the hook-up, I'll definitely be checking out his vids :)
You welcome. I promise you won't regret it. ; )
wow great stuff 10cent comics are soo hard to find nowadays. Congrats!
+Pablo V Thanks, very happy with the buy :)
Thanks for sharing and make me sleep!!
Hope you had amazing dreams :)
Hey chycho, not sure if you remember me, just wanted to update you, I bought Justice League of America 25 and X-Men 17 the other day and they came. Still trying to zero in on some early Daredevil comics, but I found those at a great price and had to pick them up.

+chycho See that is why I want Netflix, I'm like the only one out of everyone I know who has not seen it yet
+Eclipse Band You are in for a treat when you do watch, it was everything everyone was hoping for and more. Blew away expectations... by the way, one word, torrent.... and when you can afford it make sure you support what you love.... that's legit in my book.
Fantastic video
Hey Chycho do have any jsa comics?
Justice Society of America? Indeed, somewhere in my boxes :)
Great video as Always. Awesome Finds!! Bugs Bunny's Vacation Funnies book. Would be cool if you read that.
Thanks, Sunbeam. I've been contemplating reading Bugs Bunny Vacation #1, or maybe Rootie kazootie (I love the cover).
Indeed Rootie Kazootie has a great cover with those nice bright colors. Both are great!
Yeah !! Thanks !
My Pleasure, Pieter :)
Nice haul. I like your videos (even the math tutorials). Do you have any Timelys (Golden age comics)?
I have some Atlas, my first comic book reading was actually an Atlas book, Mystic #6, Basil Wolverton's 'The Eye of Doom!' th-cam.com/video/6rkZzsrVQsU/w-d-xo.html
As for Atlas, I may have one or two kicking around, wouldn't be more than that though. I'll work on getting more ;)
+chycho very nice. Wolverton was certainly one of the great interior GA artists.
+Tec31kid That he was :)
Those are some nice books! :)
Thanks, they put a smile on my face, that's for sure :)
Great haul
+Comics Unlimited Thanks, brother. Very happy with the buy :)
Do you resell some of these books too? You seem to buy tons.
+TheBr1gand I haven't sold comics for a very long time, over 15 years or so. I will be at some point though. I want to get rid of some doubles and triples and what not and buy some books that I don't have so it'll be a good way to transfer funds from certain books to others.
thank you, fantastic!
you're very welcome, ethan.
Peace.
another awesome video chycho! great haul! I'm curious as to who the ebay seller is?! maybe post it so we can support them?
+TheBolivian3 Sure thing, I actually ended up buying another 60+ books off of him in the last couple of weeks as well, his user name is magyar1261 ... his feedback rating has gone up a lot in the last few weeks as well...just keep in mind that there are a lot of smaller sellers on ebay that are worth checking out... i might also do another comic book haul vid once the next set arrives as well :)
on that note, hope the bidding wars don't start now since i like buying from him, but he is a very nice seller so i hope he gets premium prices for his books.
This seller was such a harsh grader.
Did you get to read Tokyo Ghost 6? It came out yesturday...so good!!
+Nicolas Caicedo No I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Can't wait, great series so far :)
+Nicolas Caicedo Just read it. WOW! What an amazing issue. Fantastic! So much goodness in that issue, so much... and now we know why the series is called Tokyo Ghost... what a great time to be alive and a comic book fan :)
I know!! not a lot of people understand how good this book is. I knew you were going to love the issue. I love Debbie, and to see such an evolution from that character is amazing.

I am also a huge animation fan, both movies and series. IMHO, I believe that some of the greatest stories ever told have been through animation. Epic really.
Didn't you *just* move? The framing series was during a move, yes?
framing of the comic books a year ago or so... pretty much... I've done way too many moves in the last few years. Purging and exercise... keeps me on my toes :)
You got some art and you did a video series on how to hang it. I thought that happened after a move, no? Then again, I'm usually asleep by the time you finish, so what do I know? ;-)

Are you going to read Bugs Bunny for the next reading session and do the voices???
+The Relaxation Station haha... I'm thinking about reading Bugs Bunny Vacation #1 for the next set but I don't think I'll do the voices though... I would probably just end up laughing throughout the whole reading :)
you have my favorite voice, but a little sorry video whisper when you say okay and alright, we read it in a whisper, next time
Nice video! Could you do a video about yourself? We want to know more. Your story, your background!
Thanks, Pontus.
As for who I am and what brought me here, as with everyone it's a very long story.
