@@irronthagr8113 hey there thanks for stopping by! No one loves getting a 9.6, it's like getting silver getting gold in the Olympics. But in all honesty, 9.6 and silver is pretty dam good too!
I’m enjoying smaller channels like yours…Just real fans sharing their love of collecting. I just subscribed. I sold and donated most of my collection. I’m down to around five-hundred books…most are high grade raw. I have a handful of graded CGC books. And I recently submitted a dozen to be cleaned/pressed and graded. Around the same time, I got Klaus Janson to sign my pristine Dark Knigjht Returns #1 at a Con last month. It was witnessed by a CGC rep and it was then submitted to CGC to be signed by Frank Miller. I’m hoping it gets a 9.8 and I’m waiting anxiously to get it back. I hope you can do a video of your favorite Copper Age books.
Hey Txmoney, thanks for view, comment and sub! Right back at ya! My channel is just random unboxing of things and it just so happens to be a bit more comic book heavy. Might change tho since it's sure getting expensive and I'm running out of space! Nice 500 is a solid #. Gotta think about end game I guess. Like how many we want to keep in our PC. Fingers crossed your Klaus and Miller come back 9.8ss! Fave copper age. I'm more so a silver age guy but I'll take a look and do a vid on that to share my thots! Thanks for the idea
Kingsley! How'd I miss this video?!! Love the unboxing - that Xmen Deluxe trip-signed is amazing, congrats! And OH YEAH on the NS signed Wolvie 1! Aw yeah!! Some day I'll get another video uploaded! 😅 Been too frazzled and distracted lately!
Hah thank you thank you!! I do love that 20th anniversary X-men, its just like the OG but better! The wolvie #1 I was soooooooo happy to get back 9.8SS. Was quite nervous about that one with all the sigs, and the previous slab had no inner well. So i was double nervous that the sigs might have colour transfer when it got unslabbed. Phew
Hey John, haha thanks for the words of encouragement!! Yah I need to get out of the concept of 9.8 or recycled paper =p 9.6 is def a respectable grade! Are you big on Xmen comics? Or what do you like to collect?
Yah my buddy has a ton of super elite rare spawn books. It's kinda his jam. And agreed, anything Jim Lee, imo, is top notch!! You collect spawn books? You think they'll do a movie anytime soon?
Ohhhhh right right. That totally makes sense. It looked like a collar but ya now that u pt it out that it's his mask, that makes a lot of sense! Hah thanks
Glynis Oliver-Marsh lol. Congrats on another Wolvie 9.8 and all sigs is awesome!!! I get it with sending in for signatures and potential grade drop, but I'm a gambling man I guess lol. My 181 was only a 4.0 and was never cleaned or pressed and the slab looked shit. So I always was going to crack it out and clean it up and adding Roy and Glynis sigs to it was a bonus. If it gets a grade drop I really don't care it's only a monetary loss if I go to sell it and for now it's staying in the pc Yep I'm still sending in books lol just mailed another 15 to CGC 4 for Walt to sign and just finishing up pressing another group to go out next week. I just sold all 5 X-men 1 9.8 slabs and the next day they announced another Jim Lee signing so I won't have that expense but I do have a couple I like to get signed lol Keep up the videos there just honest videos and for me that's what I like. I don't need to be told what is the hot book of the week or what the big flop is either.👍 Did I hear correct that you haven't read Wolverine 1 yet 😂time to get a facsimile copy and read it lol. I've read 181 a few times, when I cracked out mine first thing I did look for MVS then read it lol. another rambling comment you're welcome 😂😂 Cheers
Omg when you cracked the 181 you read it? Haha brave man!! The two times I cracked my Xmen 131 I handled it as if it was soemthing put on display at the louvre! Hahaha Nice moving some books! Get good money for your Xmen #1s? I gotta get to listing more books to sell. But market just so soft these days, hate to take a loss. Just happy with breaking even =/ Haha I need to find a facsimile or read the digitals for Wolvie #1 limited series. I mean it's only a 4 part book too. Heh
@@kingsleychan yep cracked it cleaned and pressed it sent it to cgc for signatures. I sold my X-Men 1 books for a slight profit and I'm ok with that. Guy was local to me so I didn't have to ship and he saved shipping and taxes. So we both did ok. I didn't realize how many books or slabs I have, 16 short boxes of slabs. So trying to move out some to make room for others. My problem is I like them all. 😅
@@berkfamily54 thank you thank you! I thought prices are going south coz of the whole prescreening for 10 and stuff? I haven't been following but good to know!
@@berkfamily54 ah that's true. Did you see that recent post floating aorund in some forums, the $2,200 Jim Lee sketch on the gal gadot wonder women. Jesus that was not worth it for that poor guy. Basically Jim Lee drew a portrait using black ink on a dark cover comic
No more CGC? Say it ain’t so!! Yes that green label is valid. They always ding on handwritten number. Dumb but true. I am considering sending in my Lee Spawn 150 for signing.
Hey Wayne, Hahaha. It's like being an addict, can't put it down =p But yeah I def am slowing down. Saving up for a big purchase. Yeh that green label was shitty. Oo nice nice, I think I saw Jim Lee doing a signing again at cgc. I think worth doing coz he only keeps hiking up his autograph fee!
Yes, so the back story is that this is Les Chroniques de Spawn 6, which is the French reprint of Spawn 149&150, limited to /666, so they hand numbered the back. Then I sent it to CC to get Jim Lee to sign it a while ago, but the slab was damaged in transit to me, so this box just came back from getting reholdered. I really liked this sketch by Jim, but on the regular Spawn 150 he drew, this sketch was on the back cover. So I found this French version that used the sketch on the front.
Dont waste your money and time getting you collection graded, are you a comic collector or a merchant? CGC and CBCS arent honest bussines they dont disclose their method of grading is too inconsistent, find the comics as much as in mint condition as is posible to you, to your on opinon and liking true collectors do not use grading only people that want to sell.
@@Ak-zf5rb def agree with ya, there's tons of things I dislike about cgc. But in some sense they bring a bit of order to the madness. Haha I just rmb back in the days getting a copy of wizard and looking at prices that way. What era of comics are you into collecting/reading?
I’m suprised you weren’t more happy for the amazing Spider-Man 4 being a 9.6 with those tics I would have guessed 9.4
Haha yah lucky on that one to keep the 9.6! The cgc Gods were nice on this one
Don’t give up on your subscriber goal! It took me a long time but I got there. Your content is good! Keep up the good work!
Your reactions to 9.6s are great.

9.6 is def a respectable grade!
Are you big on Xmen comics? Or what do you like to collect?
That Jim Lee spawn sig is sick!
Yah my buddy has a ton of super elite rare spawn books. It's kinda his jam.
And agreed, anything Jim Lee, imo, is top notch!! You collect spawn books? You think they'll do a movie anytime soon?
Todd said they’re re-writing it, aka don’t hold your breath :S
The "Dracula collar" you're referring to is Wolverine's mask cowl pulled off and loose around his neck.
Ohhhhh right right. That totally makes sense. It looked like a collar but ya now that u pt it out that it's his mask, that makes a lot of sense! Hah thanks
That x-men # 1 i still have that issue
Nice nice! I shld re read it one of these days, I forgot the story line.
Congrats on the 9.8 Wolverine #1 Newsstand!
Thank you thank you!! I was quite nervous and excited for this one. Glad it came back same grade.
Altho now, 10 is the newest thing! Haha

That Wolverine 1 9.8 is now an expensive book with all those signatures. Congrats.
