I know these aren't rare because I actually own some of them. 😂
It’s always “rare” when you’re trying to sell it 😂
lololol!
While not a comics fan, per se, my wife has a small collection of solo series featuring her favorite female heroes (Wonder Woman, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, etc.). I remember being in a random shop when my wife FINALLY completed her run of Dazzler, and she was so excited to cross that series off her list. But then the store owner asked her if she had the printer error version of Dazzler # 1...and her heart sank. I had never heard of it until that moment, but now she sent me on a quest. "FIND ME THE DAZZLER # 1 WITH THE B&W AD PAGES!!!" Since that time, I managed to find a mid-grade copy at a random convention and later upgraded her to a high grade copy. When I joke with her that we could make a killing selling the duplicate if/when Taylor Swift debuts as Dazzler, she screamed "They're BOTH mine!" A woman after my own heart!
Would love to see a follow-up video covering the flip-side: comics that people don't think are rare but actually kind of are.
Great job, James! It also irks me when folks claim that “Newsstand” versions are rarer simply because their newsstands.
When talking with two other collectors, we realized we actually all owned the blue galactus book.
We joked about the fact that the regular one might be rarer.
100% it is. They do exist but most are blue
Had every issue of Secret Wars.... i was 12 or 13 when they came out. Got them at a local drug store and a gas station off those beautiful squeeky spindle racks!
It has always amazed me how a printing error can sometimes raise the value of a comic. The world of comic book collecting is never boring.
Sabretooth was never the same after seeing that slur
Most DCU logo variants are easy to obtain if you just want a copy, but finding them in 9.8 is a different story!
A topic I've always found interesting is the "ivory" variant of X-O Manowar 0. I have about 6 different color variations of that book.
People don't seem to understand the definition of "rare." Honestly, it's a word dealers use to get someone to buy a book. Buyers need to do their research before jumping right in. Kudos to you for making this video!
I have a Green Lantern #1. Didn’t even know that some considered it a “rare” find. Most of the copies I find in the wild have that tear drop.
I was so taken with X-Men 141 when it came out that I found and bought a winter jacket from Men's Wearhouse like the one Wolverine is wearing on the cover.
I have 32 long boxes in my garage, and I'll bet that only one short box has books worth more than $5.00.
I love collecting the keys, but I hate how there are so many “manufactured” ones out there to weed through. I love your honest and informative pointers.
The Days of the Future Past is the first comic trade I ever got on a family trip. I must have read that thing 20 times over that weekend!!!
X-Force 1 was so heavily printed I bet we all have 1 in a long box in our closets
Yeah, any comic that has a print run in the millions can't be rare.
I have about 9 or 10 copies of that, bought when it came out. Read one, had a Deadpool card in it. The rest are still sealed lol. Worthless...
Whenever I see xforce 1 in dollar bins I get one for my brother since he told me they were hard to find. After giving him 15 copies he changed his mind
Inhave like 10 sealed lol
Only 1?
I don’t 😢
I didn't realize all of them are not rare. Especially with how often I've talked to people who talk them up.
Thank you.
I am newer to collecting and these types of informational videos really help to not get ripped off.
Thanks for the heads up. If anything, I now want to search some of these out just for the conversation piece comparing the books.
Thanks for the tip on Wolverine #131 James, I knew about the error but didn't realize you could tell by the UPC!
I wasn’t aware of that on this particular issue either. But, with almost all Direct Edition comics that have a barcode, note that the last 5-digits of the barcode mean something:
- The first 3-digits are the issue number (Issue #68 would be "068")
- The 4th digit is the cover number ("1" for Cover A, "2" for Cover B, etc…)
- The 5th (last) digit is the printing ("1" for 1st Printing, ”2" for second printing, etc…)
So, if you have a comic who’s issue number is 68, it is Cover C and the 1st Printing, the last 5-digits of the barcode will read, "06831." 🙂
"The More You Know" 🌈 ⭐️
@@johnnydropkicks That's generally the case, yes, but I didn't realize that the censored version had a 2 signifying a second printing.
Also, as a quick note, check the UPCs on the latest Vampirella series - since #666 came out a few months ago the numbering is goofy:
#666 is 660**
#667 is 670**
#668 is 680**
I'm assuming the Vampirella books have enough variants that the first two digits are the last two of the issue#, digits 3&4 signify the variant, while the last digit would be used for printing. It's not super important, but it does give the CLZ Comics app a bit of a headache.
@@jackhole1979 Yeah, that can happen when there are a bajillion variants. Also, I noticed with the Amazing Spider-Man title (and this may apply to other Marvel series as well) that the retailer incentive covers’ and retailer exclusive covers’ last two digits:
- Start at 16
- Then go 17, 18, 19, 20
- Skip 21 (and every number higher number that ends with a "1")
- Then go 22, 23, 24, etc…
There doesn’t have to be more than nine covers before they jump to ”16." This has be going on for the last year or so.
Great subject matter. Very interesting.
I have the Green Lantern #1. I think most of those were shipped to the UK/Europe which might make it a bit scarcer in the US.
We get our comics quite early in the UK to allow them to be on sale on Wednesday morning so they're often already en route before the mistake is caught.
Great job. I always find it funny when dealers try to promote something as rare when it really isn't. It's funny watching them squirm when you call them on it.
They may not be that rare but at least they're a little more interesting! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great videos!
Was hoping to hear how rare ASM 300 truly is. I feel like the price is overblown
I keep thinking one of these months EVERY new book published will be an homage to that one.
I’ve never even seen a low grade copy of ASM 300. It’s a newer book with a million copies out there. I bought mine for $10 back in the 90s(I had to save up my lunch money!). Now people are paying almost a grand for it. Crazy!!!! The internet is kind of a blessing and a curse for collectors, depending on “fomo”.
It is amazing what people list on eBay as “rare”
"Rare" is probably the most overused word on eBay across all categories. This video demonstrates that perfectly!
"Rare" and X-Force is the definition of an oxymoron. Love that you mentioned Whatnot and a seller hyping a book, happens way too often. A video by you James on that platform would be great watching. As always James, entertaining and educational. Your video on the Spiderman's black suit and its first appearance should win an award, absolute gold.
I remember being at a comic con and a local seller was on stage talking about that Wolverine issue, and how the “value has skyrocketed” due to this misprint.
I didn't know my Iron Man #15 was supposedly rare 😅 although I did know the Dazzler error existed & bought a couple on purpose. I kept one.
Rare comics are, like, artist proofs & con exclusives. Rare doesn't always (or even usually) mean more valuable.
Putting “RARE” at the beginning puts that extra flava on there to make the sale sizzle 🔥 😆
This was fun. I love when you casually do this stuff. It's like chilling with a friend.
As a child of the 90s I think my entire collection was DCU variants at one point 😂
When I show them off to people who don't know, they're "rare". LOL. Great content as always!
Breaking down the titles in this way is super helpful. I’ve appreciated your channel for some time and can sense a true collector. You are making sure people don’t get duped. Excelsior.
I really appreciate honest videos like this one. Tired of videos that constantly try to hype up a book just so they can sell a copy.
I always learn something from the Mint-Hunter.
I feel like most of these should be dollar-bin books, yet they're blown out of proportion.
Parental Leave, James. What a subtle life change drop! Congratulations.
Wow never knew the Secret Wars issue was that readily available. Still want a near mint of Secret Wars #1 in my collection
But the "unintentional" error begs the question... IS Sabertooth actually a... ?
Is that why Sabertooth is never fighting on a Friday?
Victor Creed sure as shit doesn't roll on Shabbos!
‘Not rare? Throwing my collection away.’ Lol
"There's a sucker born every minute" - P T Barnum
Even if they aren’t rare, now I’m on the lookout for them lol!
I'd love to see a DC Universe video in the scarcity of different ones.
Great content! Whatnot is bad for questionable comments on books by sellers. I have been into comics since the mid 70s ( yup, I'm old lol) but I remember the glut of "rare" books from the 90s that you couldn't give away but now are on sale online. I still get burnt once in a while but I try to stick to the collectors golden rule.."Only buy what you like because you might get stuck with it" Thanks for the content and God Bless
Glad to have you back James. Good to know the “rare” factor is nothin but fools gold. Keep em coming my friend
My favorite rare printing error is when it changes the color of the hero's costume. I've seen a Brave and the Bold cover where the cyan ink was not applied, leaving Batman with a pink mask, cape, and gloves but his suit was still normal grey. Haven't seen many errors like that in the wild...
Thank you for another informative and amazing video! Keep up the great work, and congratulations on the new baby!
Great video. A lot of people selling comics use the 'rare' card, when pushing books. Thank you for the perspective!
My favorite is the selling description stating "rare" then followed by 150 copies of the same book.
The world tree "misprint" was the easiest thing I've spotted that made me think "this doesn't add up" since jointing the hobby 5 years ago
Honestly, it felt like a manufactured headline at the time to boost attention for Tynion at Image.
I have most of those comics you mentioned. I just checked my two copies of X-Force #1 with the Deadpool card, and I have one with the negative upc. Yay!
Though I never thought of it as rare...
I think your definition of "back to normal" now with a new born may differ from before haha. Great video as usual!
Always do your due diligence whenever purchasing a “rare” book from anyone. Especially if you’re just getting into the hobby. Great video btw
Should put these up at the antique mall with a sign 'Rare Comics'
lolol I think people would see right through that! they are LOW PRINT and not easy to find but still, rare? methinks not
You could add early newsies as ones that some people always market as rare when in reality they are as it more common
The ones that say NEWSSTAND! and the book is 1977 always make me laugh..
Days of Future Past was one of my favorite storylines.
Great video. I have had this type of conversation with so many collectors about scarcity of common errors. Keep up the great work
I think the Larry's Limited Edition version of Invincible #1 is worth mentioning. It supposedly had a print run of 1600 but I see it everywhere.
I’m willing to bet that that book had more printed copies than the original version which itself had only around 9,000 copies printed.
Appreciate all your videos...congrats on the baby!
Lov that X-men Captain America cover!!! Thanks for all your lists you make!
Great topic! Let’s face it, all the stuff we love isn’t rare… but we still love it.
The idea that any version of XForce 1 could be rare is crazy 😆
Definitely feel like every comic that's over 20 years old has been called "rare" by someone trying to swindle someone who's unfamiliar.
Let’s not forget the Superboy #0 Toy’s R’ Us variant. I must come across that book just about every time I buy a collection.
Whoops!!!
I was expecting jigsaw when heard “let’s play a game” 😂
Beyond even the debunking, just learning about all these variants/misprints was pretty fun.
Congratulations on the birth of your first child! Thanks for giving us a little bit of content during such a hectic time!
I watched this during my lunch break and I will have to rewatch it tonight so I can search my collection to see if I have any of these not-really-rare issues.
Really interesting. It’s a good point that “low print run” doesn’t mean “rare.”
I'm always interested in what makes a comic rare, like these weird misprints and recalls, but then you hace to factor in distribution and how soon something got recalled.
First-time to your channel and what got me excited were the two 80’s X-Men books that you were offering as prizes that I actually own! 🤯 You’ve inspired me to step up my cataloging 👏👏👏
The topic of recalled/varients of comics are so interesting. Like the uncensored Batman and the colorless dazzler
Thanks for your breakdown of what is perceived as rare and unique, versus the common overvalued comics.
The X-men #141 is of my favorite childhood memories. I love that whole story arc!
I own a couple of these. It’s fun to spot comics with errors and recalls, even if they aren’t high value.
Awesome video. It surprises me how many times I see a "rare" comic on ebay that I know isn't.
Great video! I remember when that Wolverine comic came out, everyone was going crazy looking for that book.
You large saw some of these touted as rare or hard to find by several TH-cam reseller channels heavily between 2020-2023😳. In my opinion books that are kind of “htf” usually start popping up when people put a higher evaluation on them, then there NOT so bar to find!🤔🤣
“Rare” = “I just want to sell it for more” 🤣🤣
The interesting thing with the Batman & Robin issue 10 is that I never realised they actually printed the swears then blacked over them, I always just assumed they just printed the black bars where the swear would go. So that actually taught me something about how modern comics are printed.
Thanks for the heads up on these so-called "RARE" books. I'm aware of all of these books, but thanks for the refresher. It all goes back to comic book knowledge. Know your stuff before labeling it as "RARE." Keep on Hunting!
James, I always ❤️ your lists. Keep up the great YT work. Congrats again to the FAMILY. 🎉
Excellent things are rare - Plato. We're going all the way to the top! Let's go!
Saying something is rare seems to be the go to selling phrase in every hobby.
My new favourite saying: “It’s not that valuable, fam”
I just started collecting comic books so I always count on Mint Hunter Comics for information about collecting comics. Thanks dude!
I’m thinking immoral hulk 43 is pretty common, too. I kind of thought secret wars 1 was pretty common with the blue galactus. Love the video.
Love seeing non-grail or slabbed books that I could actually find in the wild even if to just say "huh cool printing error."
Rarity sells for sure I'm glad that you pointed out cases where it's not rare as advertised...thanks for your content and congrats to you and misses on the new baby ...a new comicbook collector enters the Fandom
Awesome info my friend ❤ Keep up the good work! 😊
I love this hobby. All I need is good story and cool cover to consider it rare (priceless).
It’s like newsstands from 1979-86 people try and charge more for them when the direct were actually more scarce lol
Fun video, I like how you and one other person are finally talking about how comics, even the old ones (silver/bronze) for the most part are not rare
Mannnn, I have half of those “rare” books. But, I love your insight.
I'm so glad to have come across this channel. It's nice to know what to look for when purchasing especially when resorting to ebay when I can find what I'm looking for in shops. Which I love hitting up everytime I travel somewhere new. Hope to get to jersey someday soon!
Sabretooth is a member of the tribe! Who knew? Guess I'll have to invite him Channukah next year. No invite for Wolverine, though! Bad Logan!
Really cool list. You should make this a regular thing. Would love to see you break down Whitman, mark jewelers, pressmen edition, nabisco mail in Wolvie, etc….
