i love the sound of old bags peeling apart
There’s something inexplicably amazing about it. Personal favourite is (I think) polyethylene bags
I just don't like the ones where the flaps are kept open and they kind of feeling like rummaging through weeds 😆
Your array of "friends" that you run into, in these episodes, is a huge bonus to us watching these episodes. :)
It's similar to calling in the local "experts" on those other shows. ;)
Thanks again, Mike!
I have been watching your videos over the past few days. What I really like is that you focus on the fun of collecting rather than the value and you come across as just a decent guy. Very down to earth. Love your videos.
@@TheCybernatoruk thank you!
1:01 the way Jeff says “Mike!” Was very cinematic 😅 pure breathless joy seeing ya.
I felt that!
Jeff is becoming a fixture at Brimfield now. And he is in the same field too. Easy to find. Carl said he ran into you again and mentioned that Jeff had new inventory. Saw an Action comics drawn by Neal Adam’s you were just about to leaf through. Can’t beat those!
Those last four books are awesome! I once had DC Super Stars of Magic but have no idea what happened to it. Zantana is definitely on my must get list!
Lots of ghosts lol. Nice thing about collecting. We are not all looking for the same thing. I would have been all over the DC 100 pagers. I love those. Those are fun
I had that Aquaman that was on top of one of the piles...him punching a guy while nearly being trapped by a half circle cage...a fun book
Great books…saw that Action 421 with Capt. Strong (Popeye knockoff) on your flip through…was worried you were going to kickoff the video with a Foghorn Leghorn impersonation….🤣🤣🤣
PS I love love love the magic comic. Reminds me a bit of the old Thurstin the Magician posters that featured demons. Good get. Not jealous but yeah maybe just a little. Great video. Was fun to see all the stuff Aliens!!!!!
The $325 box looked interesting. I might have asked to see that and made an offer.
I’ve watched the captain America movies several times as a kid and always got plenty of enjoyment from it. You got a nice haul and two sweet looking statues
Great video Mike, hopefully I catch you at the next Brimfield dates
“A Plug to Doug” not only a Comic Collector, now a Poet!
plug Doug? hmmmmmmm.......
Nice Ultimate Fallout 1 grab! I agree, people usually sleep on that run except for issue 4.
Best comment ever.... "Everyone needs more X-Men". No truer statement....
Good Haul
great flea market pick ups Mike the video was great and i love the X-men books you got the cover is so cool
You know some great people that are thoughtful and cool, what comes around goes around Mike. You're a great guy.
Awesome to see some Bronze Age Action comics, Well done Sir.. That Captain America Movie is so much fun
Looks like the second one,costumes fairly right. First one,I guess with that particular origin, it's understandable why they changed it,but not HOW...like a weird Charlton knock off or something!!
What do you mean everything? EVERYTHING!!!!
That flea market looks like a lot of fun.
Also glad to see your Onslaught grabs!! Now I know what I'm missing (incl that out-there pink cover!!)
Fun video! Love that Zatanna cover!
Just got through Comics Truck Video #3!! Always cool to see what new in the Truck. Glad to see you got another STRANGE ADVENTURES!!! Loved the crazy cover on the 5th pr. Turtles # 1 !! In awe of the Cerebus guesting issue, which I still want to read some day!!
Awesome X men comics my friend Cool video as always 💯👍
CAPTAIN AMERICA and its sequel, CAPTAIN AMERICA II: DEATH TO SOON (both 1979) were released on DVD (I have it). Great price on those PVC statues. I'm glad you got a decent price after you did the digging. Nothing is more annoying that doing a bunch of searching, only to have the seller try to get top dollar.
Looks like a fun day at the flea market! It does seem like prices can run higher at them, but you can still find great deals and great books. The Zatanna book, by far, is my favorite out of your haul. Thanks for the video!
Lol, that giant lawn Rat Fink!!!
Let's just say I tried to watch that Cap movie! 😂
I've watched A lot of b-d horror films too. It's rough man, but hilarious!
@@robphoenix1182. Is that the one with the motorcycle helmet cowl and polycarbonate shield
Great haul. Loved seeing this amazing flea market
Man, I never TMNT here in the midwest and I wish I did. Grew up with those books but what we had is lost to time. As cheesey as tha Cap movie is I love it, great find! Love that truck and digging! I would lose so much time in that truck or go to fast trying to see it all and miss stuff. That happened just this weekend to me, oh well. Fun video Mike!👍
Great pickups mike Brimfield is such a cool spot will have ro go back one day
Wow what an awesome looking day at Brimfield! It’s crazy that they keep making new sections, and honestly it looked fun going through the pile in the truck. I’ll have to go one day to get some of those great deals!
I am originally from Pennsylvania!
I’d love to visit Doug’s store sometime 😊
I was a kid who always liked Captain America, but I was never fond of the film you picked up. I saw it on TV as a kid and found it puzzling even then. First off, the Cap in the movie has nothing to do with WW2. He’s just a dude on a motorcycle with a shield. The film seems to be capitalizing on the popularity of Evel Kenievel more than Captain America! So to me this felt like a movie called Captain America, but had little to do with the character. It might still be a goofy fun watch though if you go in with low expectations.
Cool pick ups. That TMNT!
Unfortunately I somehow missed the "comic truck" and Doug. I did half of Brimfield Tuesday and the other half Friday. I found one booth that had $1 boxes where I picked up quite a few issues of AD&D and Dragonlance, a Batman Sword of Azrael set, and a couple very minor keys (55 issues total). I picked up about 5 other issues from all the rest of the flea market. All that walking was good exercise. Anyway, good to see you there although you dispelled my image of you as a company rep (since you have to travel around for your job). His and Hers Comics and the Western Massachusetts Comic Book Show made up for the slim pickings at Brimfield. Isn't that Captain America movie the one with rubber ears?
neal adams batman, prince valiant, Bastion, onslaught nice .
That looks like a lot of fun digging in that truck. It reminds me of the days when I was a Boy Scout and we collected papers for recycling and we had a big semi that we loaded the papers into. I imagine there was some other great vines in that box or should I say those boxes inside the truckthanks for sharing the video
Can't wait to head back over
I would gladly watch hour long unedited videos!
I loved the Captain America tv movies when I was a kid.
I have that Captain America movie on DVD Yes they sold it on DVD too
We need the unedited version. Can put it on when I'm organizing the collection!!
Which I could find that many DC and the more unusual Marvel comics at boot/garage sales here in England
Great show! Love seeing that Captain America 100. And when you dig through the stacks and you see a bunch of books that you personally have it's really fun. I am not a X-Men collector at all I probably have 10 to 20 books at the most but the ones you showed I have a few of. The fact that the consciousness of magneto and and doctor Xavier blended together to create a super villain always fascinated me. That's why I have those few books. I always wondered why they didn't blend and create a hero also that would defeat the villain?
Enjoy your memorial day weekend buddy and hey buddy 😊❤😂😂😂
i get the camera thing when working. I use to stream myself pressing and cleaning comics for people. While it was fun for a bit, it kept getting in the way of me enjoying myself working on peoples books. Once i stopped streaming and just worked on books, i enjoyed it way more and started to relax more as i wasn't worried about the camera anymore.
I think I could have bought a longbox of DC Comics from Jeff. 😄 Doug seemed to have some cool stuff too.
The disembodied voice in the truck sounds like Super Dave. 👽🍻
Dam I wish I had a large comic book truck to pick through! Not in Hawaii unfortunately 😮
Today is national grape 🍇 popsicle day 🍦🥧🍮🫕🍔🍿💥🥞🍨🥄🔪🍽️🍴🥢🧂🧈🍿😊❤❤❤❤
Nice pickups as always. You have been on a heater the last 4 or so videos man. Way to go dude. Cant wait to see your next one.
Flea markets❤ is amazing 😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
good scores dude!
Mike, You ought to get one of those power banks for your phone. That way you’d have it in your pocket for use in case your phone runs out of power. That Reb Brown Cap movie is pretty bad. LOL
I have one, I just didn’t have it on me because that’s never happened before. Phone is old, getting a new one tomorrow .
you have Mirage everywhere you go and we on the other coast here in Oregon find early Dark Horse comics all over the place
I found a tmnt no. 1 5th print in a dollar bin last February.
Great find!
I was looking for the truck, but maybe we didn't overlap on the day/time. I was there on Wednesday, still found some really great stuff that I was looking for though!
Awesome scores buddy 😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great vid Mike!
Thanks!
Dave the comic book guy is a legend. I want to live in his truck. I want to ride shotgun with his dogs.
You flicked through my childhood with those Action Comics. I know they are dross, but they have such memories for me.
Doug's stuff is a cut above, interesting stock.
Good show Mike. Can you do some more DC stuff?
I am an old DC crumbly.
Best wishes to you and your family.
That was a lot of Bronze Age Fantastic Four at the start, I would definitely have bought those comics if their condition was solid - they were from one of my favourite periods of the title.
I saw the Cap movie on tv soon after its release; I remember being singularly unimpressed at the way the film screwed around with his origin. The movie felt like what a non-comics reading writer and director thought a Cap movie should be like, not really a movie about Cap but a kid-friendly action movie which happened to feature him; it could just as easily have featured any number of other comics heroes instead.
Gray Morrow was an exceptional artist, and not just in comics: he had a distinguished career doing SF and Fantasy paperback covers too.
Great video!!! Looks like you had a great time at the flea market. Great haul of comics and other stuff. You definitely got a deal on everything you purchased. Keep up the great work. 😎
Enjoy your videos. Question for you. Approximately by how much has your collection grown since you started your channel? Just curious to know because I restarted collecting around the same time. Thanks keep up the great videos.
Number of books? Probably 5 fold. VALUE of books? 20 fold. I never bought expensive books before LMC
I saw that movie 30 years ago. You'll laugh when you find out how he got his strength.
Cool comics 😊❤❤❤❤🚢🛳️🛳️🛥️💥💨💦🔥💯😊😂😂😂😂
I absolutely can not wait to come out there in September to meet you, and dig through those comics!!
Hope to see you then!
There’s no shortage of creepy dolls there that for sure
I would of bought so many of those comics
You should think about taking a power bank with you. That way you can recharge your phone.
One of the Action Comics that you flipped by is one of my favourite issues (I don't think it's worth anything, so no loss!) it's story about Superman's Satanic Son ha!
U should have bought the hippo
I thought the same thing!
You got some great comics but you missed some great action comics
There was a neal adams cover
Fantastic hunting
this drives me bat shit crazy to see all of them comic book loose like this without bags & boards
If you’re after Neal Adam’s covers for DC, you’ve just missed out 1 from the truck. It’s the one where Supes has been turned into half ape. 😅
Show us the chochkis and all the rest of the pik ups I wanna see
Ah what a great time out and about at the largest flea market you can find!
Cap movie is terrible still remember his motorcycle and a motorcycle helmet as part of his mask. I would have grabbed it for 3 bucks too. I’ve tried videoing as I search I just don’t enjoy it. Live vicariously thru guys like you who do it. 😊
1 thing I always wonder when I see these huge collections, how many have Stan Lee or other artist’s signature on the inside page that nobody knows about
I often wonder the same!
I’m curious. What is your comic collection worth? How many comics do you own? How many slabs? How many SS slabs? Complete runs? How many Silver Age? Golden Age? Last issues? Error or recalled books? Sorry that’s a lot of questions! Answer 1 or 2 or 3 if you can! Thanks for incredible content!
Haha I don’t know a lot of these, but I’ll try: no clue on value, maybe 4000 comics (I’ve parted with a lot of the bulk), less than 30 slabs, several X-men related runs, lots of silver (my favorite), not much gold at all, and no errors or recalls as far as I know. Kind of vague but hope that sates your curiosity a bit!
Mike...ive got both the Reb captain America flicks on dvd. Now...if you throw out canon and accept em for the budget and the ATTEMPT... you'll love em simply for nostalgic reasons. While parts are laughable, and his origin is... peculiar, and the costume in the 1st one's really... something else... they're enjoyable for remembering how incredibly difficult it was to adapt Marvel properties back in the day. Reb does a credible job and his VAN IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
There were actually two tv movies made..no comparison to today's videos but similar to stuff made in 1970s...imagine trying to cash in on Wonder Woman show success back then.
You are so in awe of Brimfield flea market, you think its the only greatest flea market in the world. w=Wait 'til you go out of new England and visit other large flea markets. Like in Texas or in Be cultured! San Jose Flea Market, Austin County Flea Market, Chatuchak Outdoos Weekend Market and Marche Aux Puces De Clignancourt! BTW, my grandmother loves the Partridge family!
I sometimes hate digging. I feel like I just pull out the good stuff so they can look it up to charge me retail and n their phones. Im an employee.
Oh yeah I was buying up the X-Men titles in real time as they were coming out and the Onslaught run was pretty epic buuuutt they are pretty forgettable even if the X-Men '97 cartoon bumped them up a bit to me I have no FOMO and gladly gave them away some years ago.
Does Doug have a store in PA? I'm in central PA, would love to check it out if he does.
Hmmm, I don’t think so
@@lunchmoneycomics Ok, thanks
Man...to have been able to bundle all those ACTION COMICS for a good price...lotta Neal Adams in there!!!
should have gotten that Aquaman with the American flag on it, after all its Memorial Day weekend!
So many comics.... the problem i would want to buy everything.
I really like statues but I don't buy any of them if the are modeled after video games or DCU and MCU stuff. I prefer to get statues based on actual comic book artist art like Ivan Reis green lantern statue I have or the new teen titans statues based on George Perez designs
Does your wife go comic book hunting too. It be great to see couples doing a hobby together.
She’ll often go with me but she collects antiques not comics
was there a first Madame Web and a first Sin in the truck?
I didn’t see either
@@lunchmoneycomics 7:08 has Amazing Spider-man 216. which is the return of Madame web. At 9:35 you are holding a captainb america comics with "mother night "on it. ( not sure if it's nr 290).
Get a hat camera for that
Didja get that skeleton statue Michael?
I did not, but I already own one lol
Jeff's truck... questionable misses... Dell alvin and the chipmunks ( maybe childhood on that one.) Action comics first Captian strong in the silver age. The Phantom (king publishing.)
The Captain Strong would’ve been a fun discussion, but I don’t collect any of those titles
Lunch money. Yes I've seen that Captain America movie. I grew up in 60s and 70s, To be honest that Movie was good for the time, Wasnt a whole lot of Marvel movies. DC ruled back then with Christopher Reeved Superman. Hulk with Ferrino was good too. Then Batman reruns Adam West. I grew up with it all but we didnt have ton of $$ either, But we got by ok. I use by comcs off rack at 7 eleven, Riding my bike. Big gulp soda too!!
Beggars can’t be choosers…. We are spoiled in comparison.
I wonder about the prices, of course. But five minutes in and I would have had half a short box filled off the the side. Yes, Neal Adams Superman, Brave and the Bold.
20 cent Captain America, 25 cent Fantastic Four. Ugh. I could have stayed at the truck. It's interesting that we all value different things.
$1.25 for first Gambit??
Those are figure statues are not made of plastic.
I didn’t seee him, what field is he in ?
Grand Trunk. I think he left early
