Dude I agree. this is why I don't use tape and never store them like this anymore. Plus I would never put multiple books in one bag anymore.. What wasI doing back then? lol
LOL!!! GREEN LANTERN #21 (11:55) With the camera moving around I thought that it said something different than "FLICKER..." :D Always nice to find long lost comics from our childhood. Great video! Keep on Hunting!!
Mint Hunter Comics,that was a great find and no rats ate the books in the attic. I had a TMNT#1 when i was a kid and i colored in the book and i could keep myself for it but i think my dad burned all my old toys and stuff years ago and i know i had a signed Adam West Batman poster,i could cry right now knowing all the keys and valuable toys i had that are gone now.
This is how I got back into the hobby in february. Brought old boxes from the 90s from my mom's basement home and found some great stuff and in really good condition.
Great finds! Though you were scaring the hell out of me with that tape! Lol I thought for sure it was going to snag a cover at some point. Hope you and the fam are doing well and the house is coming along.
Dude I agree. this is why I don't use tape and never store them like this anymore. Plus I would never put multiple books in one bag anymore.. What wasI doing back then? lol
As a kid, I bought Hulk 180 and 181, took it to my grandparents house to read and left them over there on accident. When I went back to get them a few weeks later, she said she didn't know what happened to them. I thought about trying to buy them again, but when I only got a $1 or so when my parents/grandparents took you to the flea market, I wanted to buy the new comics since I had already read the two Hulk issues. Yeah, I was a stupid kid.
My parents threw everything of mine away that I didn't take with me when I moved out as an adult, or sold it at garage sales. I have very little left of anything I actually had as a kid. I had to buy it all over again now that I can afford most of it.
All star comic #8 bought for maybe 50 cents at a garage sale in early to mid 80s, came back 8.5 two decades ago from CGC, was considered restored because of pressing! I sold for 8k because of restoration value at the time….
Letter from the ex is equivalent to the poisonous snake that appears when digging through buried treasure. Regarding misplaced comics, my parents knew not to go near my comics, so I always knew where all my comics were at all times. I have misplaced a binder full of various trading cards from the early 1990s. When I was going through stored boxes over the summer, I came across my Star Wars cards from the late '70s, but no binder. I threw out a bunch of empty binders about six years, and I'm starting to think that one of those binders wasn't empty.
@@MintHunterComics lol one if my tradgedies was I skipped on buying so many binders full as a teen because I didn't play. I liked the art but skipped on them kuz art wasn't good nuff reason ?
I always wanted a Nick Fury Agent of Shield #6 with a classic Jim Strenko cover as a kid. Finally found one in nm at Mike's Colosseum Comics back in the early to mid 80's. Got home with it and took it out of the bag and looked through it. Left to go use the bathroom and when I came back my older sister had set a glass of soda with ice on the comic. Put a water ring halfway through the book. when I complained to my mother all mom said was it was MY fault for leaving it out! WTF!
I just traded for a direct She Hulk 1 and I have been bitching and groaning to myself about how I should’ve waited for a newstand.. so I think you just made my day. I think…? How sure are you about this? Haha
Camera with lens about $90. My worst comic loss was when I had a box of comics by a water heater, water heater burst and ruined Daredevil Frank Miller run. Never do that again!
Grew up reading and tossing around 90s books. No keys, but definitely had that Superman blue cover. I may have been the only person who liked that whole storyline.
Speaking of attics, I will never ever keep comics in an attic again. When I was a kid, I kept my 80s comics in our family attic and my dad's 50s funnies comics were there as well. One day, I went to check on them and I found that the box was damaged. A squirrel had apparently used the comics to build a nest. Mine were pretty much all ok, but nearly all of my dad's were wiped out.
Those green lanterns get no love from hobby. My ex wife collected green lantern back in 1995 and those issues where 50 cents each. Still not worth anything
Younger me was not smart enough to buy a copy of Savage She-Hulk back then. Even older me wasn't smart enough to get a previously cheaper copy at my LCS before the news of the show being announced.
A good few years ago I was very low on cash , my youngest son's birthday came around and he said he wanted pokemon cards if possible... I really didn't want to let him down so I went to my comic box and pulled out some nice '60's batman comics to go and trade at the comic shop in town.. . I got him his cards, around 5 packs, but they cost a fair handful including Batman # 181 ( first poison ivy )... who knew that the price on that would go so crazy? The grade would've been pretty high including the poster. Turns out that he wanted the cards to trade & sell, I was gutted !
I had a collection of the thing,firestorm, batman and the outsiders and others when i was like 10 my grandpa was a garbage man for many years he gave me a ton he just found. When i was moving out of my parents house they got thrown out. I just wish i had kept them so bad.
I got out of comics back in the late 90's and then 3 years ago my mom passed away. I was at my parent's house going through my stuff and came across my collection. Looking at all the Knightfall and Death of Superman books sparked memories and my interest again so I started collecting again. My personal goal is to get all my Knightfalls and Death of Supermans signed and encapsulated so I can pass them on to my kids as tributes to my parents.
Nice! I ended up finding 2 of my comics that I thought were under my bed in a box out in a plastic tote on my balcony. That tote was sitting in the corner for 7 years with what I thought was just textbooks. It survived 7 Canadian winters (thanks Rubbermaid). The books were my Hulk 180 and 340. I felt so stupid but they ended up fine. Got them CGC graded. 180 got 7.5 white pages and the 340 got 9.4. To say I was lucky is an understatement.🤙🏻
Fortunately never had any comics lost or misplaced while growing up. Last year after my Mom learned about the value of some of my comics she wanted a cut for not throwing them out. But Mom - you never had a chance to do that - I took them all with me as soon as a I graduated college and moved into my own place. Whew.
Amazing sweet haul! Various keys and first appearances and multiple copies? Oh my! These books are fantastic condition for being in your parents attic all these years! Great video!
I remember my dad buying me about 4 Death of Electra Daredevil 181. I have one in my collection but I don’t know where the other 3 are at. Still drives me crazy lol
Not even misplaced but it got accidentally thrown out. 1st App of Sandman GONE I left it in my room and the copy was a bit beat up so my parents THREW IT OUT😭
Spawn fan here and that number one and number 9 are making me salivate.... My fiance picked up a number one for me over a year ago and then more recently I completed the first ten issues with a crispy number 9 that I found at a con 3 weeks ago.
@@MintHunterComics it really is I wish I could find one we only have two comic book stores where I stay and they are usually already picked dry so no chance of finding things like that here lol
SCORE!! Nice find. Unfortunately, I KNOW my step-mother ditched all my books after I went to the Navy, so there are no attic/basement surprises for me. Congrats James. Thanks for sharing.
@@MintHunterComics I came home on leave and all my books were gone with the exception of 4 long boxes I had hidden. ALL of those books have been with me ever since. One of my goals is to add all those books back into my PC.
@@AlexSzostak13 Thank you as well. I was in from '87-'90 onboard the USS England CG-22. What was your rate? I was a Gunner's Mate and the ship's rescue swimmer.
@@SPalochik I was a Sonar Tech (STG3) which I learned that a long time ago used to stand for Sonar Technician and Guns (Surface Ships). So I guess that kind of makes us family. What's your favorite Comicbook Title? Maybe I can send you something?
Currently missing a box with some books in it including Crow #1, Sandman #1 original Joker #1-4, and I'm not sure what else. Nice find of sentimental stuff.
Nice comic find. Get those keys press clean and graded. I used to bag multiple comics in one bag when I was little couldn't buy bags and boards for everything on a small allowance . My mom has the same camera with a few extra lenses, its in pieces now not sure what happen to it (bad repair or it was dropped ages ago). Those old camera are heavy and made out of steel you could kill someone with Iam going to toss the camera and the lenses on ebay.
I’m missing some books, no idea where they could have went myself. It’s ok ive replaced em too but always makes me wonder. Very cool to see your recovering your head scratchers
Big spider-man fan growing up, had a very decent run of ASM #140-400ish, plus the mcfarlane Spider-man run. Misplaced a short box which had some of my older ASM and Spider-man #1 variants including an mint platinum edition and a not so mint but decent Gold UPC edition.....😭😭😭
Holy crap dude! What an amazing find! All I know is there has to be some NES/SNES/Gameboy games and some 80's toys likt He-Man and Transformers stuff somewhere in my parents attic....
About 24 years ago I had a very little amount of comics. My brother bought me a Spawn action figure and the Spawnmobile for my birthday or X-Mas. These toys came with a comic specific to the toy. I have always remembered having them but definitely did not have them any more. So, this last X-Mas I head back to my hometown and my brother had mentioned he had a couple boxes of comics I could have. We sit down to go through them and not too deep into the collection he hands me both of the Spawn comics. He ended up having Spider-Man 2099 1 in hi grade plus X-Men 4 & 5 in hi grade. There was a handful of other minor key comics I cant remember right now. Early X-Men vol 2, Uncanny X-Men, a sealed copy of Darker Image 1, lots of number 1’s of really random titles. Never came across any Wolverine that he swears he has, which might also explain why I never found the Wolverine books I know that I once had. Hopefully theres another box or two next time Im in town. I gave him a couple hundred bucks and wished a Merry Christmas.
I am currently missing a box of comics that has 3 omega reds, a she hulk 1, and a few miscellaneous green lantern keys, I may have left em at my buddy Jimmy’s parents house…🤔 lol in all seriousness, great find man!! Love that Omega Red book!
One of your best vids to-date. I felt I was there with you but I was actually screaming with excitement each time the bell rang! Kudos to your folks on "throwing" in their attic. Mine were thrown in trash without me knowing 😖😢 Luved vid 😄👍
Speaking of garage sales, have you hunted many this fall? I guess, depending on how cold the weather is, there should be a few more rounds before the snow comes down? Those kind of videos are "more exciting" than going to comic book stores hunting, because you know a comic book store has comic books, but a garage sale might have the unexpected lot of comic books. I have a feeling you'll strike a gold mine this fall, a gold mine too large to fit in your car. Also, have you ever tried to _"buy a storage unit on auction"_ ? There can be comic book gold there. But most often junk I'd guess.
I sold a bunch of comics back in 2008, including Giant Sized X-men 1 (ouch), ASM 300, to name a couple. However, I thought I had X-men 101 but couldn't find it. I just found it this year during a move, it was sandwiched with some other books in a "hobby" box. No idea how it got there, but it's still a 8.5 or 9.0 .. sent it off to CGC and so thankful I lost it for a while.. :)
My pokemon cards are missing as well and my mom or brothers won't fess up to where they went! Right now the comic that I have no idea to as where it is at is my Detective Comics 35. Detatched cover, missing pages and no back cover, but I got it when I turned 13 bidding it up on ebay. Had to go around and ask for money instead of gifts. lol
I lost an Astro Boy #1 double cover that I found on a spinner at Rite Aid in the late 80s. Smh...it was my fault i left it at the PO and never picked it up. Would love to have it back.
Killing me with all the potential tape pulls 😱😱, I was on the edge of my seat every time. Glad you found these and they didn't get thrown out.
Dude I agree. this is why I don't use tape and never store them like this anymore. Plus I would never put multiple books in one bag anymore.. What wasI doing back then? lol
Yeah, the tape kept freaking me out! Do you just fold the flap inside the bag now?
LOL!!! GREEN LANTERN #21 (11:55) With the camera moving around I thought that it said something different than "FLICKER..." :D Always nice to find long lost comics from our childhood. Great video! Keep on Hunting!!
HAHAHAHA! imagine?
That letter is the best find. That is something that can’t be replaced.
Indeed
Dang! This rules. That She-Hulk book is such a score with perfect timing.
PERFECT timing...
Awesome little attic dig there sir. DC Universe logo for the win! First Lady Shiva too! Awesome!
Thank you kindly - it's cool to see what I was collecting 8 years ago. some real surprises
I lost a few Ambush Bug issues and the entire run of Marvel Saga. Unfortunately I had roommates at the time.
Damn.
@@MintHunterComics on a happier note I just received a handful of mishmash comics from my Uncle.

You were quite the collector in your youth, seeing that first Lady Shiva appearance in there. Not the comic just any old kid would find and keep.

That camera is worth around $100, but film photography is a really fun hobby. Get some Kodak Portra 400 film in there and have some fun!
Gotcha! maybe it'll be a new fun hobby I pick up
Always fun finding forgotten stashes and going down memory lane.
Felt like a time capsule!
@@MintHunterComics I can relate, great stuff
I`ve got Spectre #5 and Batman #497))
Woot woot!
One of your best vids to-date. I felt I was there with you but I was actually screaming with excitement each time the bell rang! Kudos to your folks on "throwing" in their attic. Mine were thrown in trash without me knowing 😖😢 Luved vid 😄👍
Nice long term storage finds James! :)
That's awesome! I am on the hunt for the first scream book.
Nice!
Crazy score!!!!
Indeed!
Speaking of garage sales, have you hunted many this fall? I guess, depending on how cold the weather is, there should be a few more rounds before the snow comes down? Those kind of videos are "more exciting" than going to comic book stores hunting, because you know a comic book store has comic books, but a garage sale might have the unexpected lot of comic books.
I have a feeling you'll strike a gold mine this fall, a gold mine too large to fit in your car.
Also, have you ever tried to _"buy a storage unit on auction"_ ? There can be comic book gold there. But most often junk I'd guess.

Xoxoxo
I had a last issue of the first Stat Wars run that was most likely thrown away. It's like a 100 dollar book now
I sold a bunch of comics back in 2008, including Giant Sized X-men 1 (ouch), ASM 300, to name a couple. However, I thought I had X-men 101 but couldn't find it. I just found it this year during a move, it was sandwiched with some other books in a "hobby" box. No idea how it got there, but it's still a 8.5 or 9.0 .. sent it off to CGC and so thankful I lost it for a while.. :)
Dude I 'm so glad you found that. Now for CGC to finally give it back to ya! haha
Very cool. What a great surprise. Reminds me of the same where I found some X-men comics (claremont/byrne run) at my parents I too forgot about.
That's awesome man!
Some awesome books!
I was hoping you'd see this! nice upgrade btw!
My pokemon cards are missing as well and my mom or brothers won't fess up to where they went! Right now the comic that I have no idea to as where it is at is my Detective Comics 35. Detatched cover, missing pages and no back cover, but I got it when I turned 13 bidding it up on ebay. Had to go around and ask for money instead of gifts. lol
They probably sold em! hahaha
Haha. Great find!
The gambling with the tape is the stuff of my nightmares
might want to watch those nails, i have them too i havent hit my head yet but i know its coming lol great video
It actually punctured through my hat and I've got a bandage soon after this vid!
Wow hope it gets better
My dad put edge of spiderverse 2 in the bin a couple years ago thinking it was nothing
Ooof.
I've been looking for one of those X-Men #4, want to send one my way?
I'm going to get em pressed!
I lost an Astro Boy #1 double cover that I found on a spinner at Rite Aid in the late 80s. Smh...it was my fault i left it at the PO and never picked it up. Would love to have it back.
Its like watching Indiana Jones find the Grail
Hahahaha dude that's what it felt like
