That last point is great. You can get you books put into Excel sheet, add price you've paid, publisher, date bought, number of pages... This can create pretty cool stuff like finding out price per page, how many hardcover books vs softcover books you have, how many pages there are on your shelf etc. Pretty interesting stuff.
My statues are even tired of this quarantine and want to see new ones come in but I do need to dust off and organize the things I have :) stay safe guys. Keep up the good work:)
***NEW SUBSCRIBER*** Omg this video is everything!!!! My husband went 10 years without ever dusting/cleaning his massive collection. We recently had a baby and he had to move out of his "man cave" and he had the whole house sneezing and coughing. I favorited this video and I plan to play this once a week to remind him how to properly take care of his collection!! Keep up the great work. Your amazing!!!
Yo Brother, big fan and subscriber. I watch all your videos fam. "PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO MY WIFE "MRSSHELLY" ABOUT ME NOT DUSTING. SHE IS TOTALLY EXAGGERATING. Keep up the good work family. You got a follower for life....Peace
As an artist i collect, read and draw. I used to have renters insurance for my first apartment with STATE FARM, to insure most of my belongings especially my comics at the time.
I've been catalogueing both my issues, tps and statues recently. The statues are in an excel sheet, with one tab for in house and one for sold. There i have the statue name, number, manufacturer, srp, paid price, eBay lowest price, if any damage, suggested sale value and percentage increase/decrease in value since purchase. It's been really fun actually cause you get to go over and reapretiate your collection! I am one of those who has a home office during these times so I can't say I have much more free time, but it's nice spending it with your collection!
"Why do we have sealed omnibus during quarantine?!" Started laughing my ass off... I know that feel. In the last two weeks I've had enough time to knock out Iron Man by Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns' Aquaman, BLAME! (manga you would love if you like Berserk), and Kieron Gillen's X-Men run.
@@gameshalo3907 Depends on how engaging it is, usually between 5-9 days. I finished Aquaman in like 3 because it had excellent pacing and not a ton of expository dialogue.
@@anthonygarcia8749 It was so-so. Busiek plotted the whole thing, but only actually wrote about half of it. He left the book right as it was finding its groove, and then Roger Stern took over scripting and it was pretty average the rest of the way. I will say that The Iron Age miniseries that Busiek wrote that closes out the book is great, though. Highlight of the whole thing.
1) Where do you think that dust is going? To another statue. Vacuum them with the blinds attachment, ultra low setting. Also vacuum the top of each omni, arcades, and more. If you feel the dust is tacky, your ventilator in you kitchen is not doing it's job. 2) Too many of us need to do this, it does matter guys, B&B all single issues. Ofc, if you are going to have them slabbed, this is a must. Here's an observation: no 9.8cgc I have has actually been read. I still B&B all single issues I read. 3) or was it 4) those bottom cardboard boxes will absorb much more moisture then the top ones. They should be on pallets. 5) There's a collectors app that covers any type of collection. A bit pricy, but I am looking at it, as I collect several different types of....things. Downside is you need a subscription for each type of collection. 6) Don't have people over. WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN.
Greetings from Brazil! Doing hardcore readings over here. Bought a lot of stuff in the past year but haven't read a good chunk of it, but with the lockdown this came in handy... comics will save our minds!
Yo Gem another idea for anyone that uses the Key Collector app..I've been going through all my boxes and pulling keys and have a separate box or boxes for the keys. I also have my entire collection of comics,omnis and statues insured through Collectinsure...can vouch for them as one statue was stolen from my car (in box) and another one I accidentally broke moving it. I placed two claims and got paid within a week time..great company.I highly recommend getting your collection insured..great video Gem..stay safe!
I bagged and boarded my singles, sleeved all my Magic cards, arranged my movies and finally got my collected edition library arranged into rough reading orders
I loved this video, gave me a good laugh and all great suggestions actually. Should keep me busy for awhile. I ran out of drawing supplies so I was struggling to find stuff to do.
Started my inventory for my comics using excel. I have key collector app to have a rough idea how much my keys are worth. Put in a nice sized order from instock so Im waiting for that to come in too. Awesome video keep killin it 🤘 and stay safe everyone!
I use clz comics to catalog my singles and omnibus. It has a monthly fee now but if you're o.g. it was a one time fee of 14.99 they are constantly updating it and improving it.
Thank you for those precious tips...what do you think about putting your statues under a glass protection ? (not a plastic one because i find it less transparant than glass ).
I have about 2-3 months of books that need to be put away in short boxes. I attempted yesterday but it was a little daunting. Haha. But your vid gave me motivation to continue! Got plenty of time right now.
What Manga are you reading? I've been out of the loop for manga for almost a year now. Naruto and Bleach are finished, and I haven't read AOT, One Punch Man, or One Piece in over a year lol.
dont know how its been at your costco but at the one near me in the uk its been insane, the line to get in one day stretched from the store entrence right out onto the main road, something like a third of a mile, and thats people, not cars
MarkoRollo it hasn’t been bad at all. We are limiting people coming in, making people stand 6ft apart, splash guards. Anything we can to keep everyone safe.
I scored the X-men inferno omnibus for cover price right before the lock down. So I plan on reading that and I have a few Spider-Man omnis to read as well. I have been reading almost 4 trades a day out of my back log lol im not going to have a back log after this is over!
I’ve been doing a database for my video game collection. Damn I can’t even remember where I got certain games or how much I paid.... this month, lol. I’m going insane
(1) You should get dividers between the comics (series). Makes it easier to sort (2)The dusting is pretty funny too (surprise you don’t have display cases with glass windows). (3) That can’t be all the boxes. Do you throw out your custom boxes?
“Dust them shits!” Queue dusting music and montage. Lol Got that Artgerm Magik variant cover, nice! The best statue collecting app is iCollect for iPhone. (Not sure if it’s for Android) pay $9.99 for unlimited entries in a category like Figures and it scans barcodes and does searches from other collectors entries (I’m at over 250 in statues and figures). Also does Comics, LEGO and Funko. Great little app, it can get expensive if you add a bunch of categories one by one. I think they do a $30 one time fee for unlimited access to all categories.
@@GemMintCollectibles You could always just make a shelf or something to lift them 6 inches or so off the ground too, if you don't want to commit to a new unit.
It’s Weirdly satisfying to see somebody else doing this well
you can just hear Wolverine sayin’ in his head, “you best get that makeup brush off of me, bub.”
“READ YOUR BOOKS” hehe liked that bit

Lol got you
The way you brushed off the dust on wolverines face looked kinda *cute
*cute ?
@@g4mmer ahh yes cute
Yeah...lol. It looks very, delicate and loving lol
The dusting of the statues was so relaxing lol
That music is killing me lol!😂🤣 I love it!!!!
I'm still working, I'm in the medical field. I try to read on my limited time off. But watching you in my down Tim helps pass the time.
i buy silver age bags and boards and fit 2 comics per bag, 1 on each side of the board. saves money on bags and boards in the long run.
Thank you for the suggestions!!!

How long does it take you to read one omni?
@@gameshalo3907 Depends on how engaging it is, usually between 5-9 days. I finished Aquaman in like 3 because it had excellent pacing and not a ton of expository dialogue.

Stay healthy Gem keep up the good work...
Just started watching your channel today. Great stuff!
Greetings from Brazil! Doing hardcore readings over here. Bought a lot of stuff in the past year but haven't read a good chunk of it, but with the lockdown this came in handy... comics will save our minds!
I need to organize my Spider-Man comics in order
This was a great video. Liked the dusting tip with the makeup brush
literally been doing all this stuff lol, feels so nice having everything perfectly organized
Nice idea using the make up brush to clean the statues..gonna use that on my figures..!!!
Mint every time you do that zoom in I get next level anxiety because it just takes me back to that little Batgirl statue incident lol
Great video gem 💎! What a collection you got !! Stay safe guys !

Would love to see a video on insurance coverage on collectables. Thanks Gem

Thanks for sharing. These were all great ideas. Golden age Supes finally! 🙌
The 10-minute-game is on! Love your daily content.
Good stuff my dude. Only thing I’d say is having dividers in my short boxes has made it much easier to organize and find various runs.
Please do the review of all the quarantine time omnibus reads..
Love your channel..
Loved the video! Really helpful!
I loved this video, gave me a good laugh and all great suggestions actually. Should keep me busy for awhile. I ran out of drawing supplies so I was struggling to find stuff to do.
That make up brush tip is very very useful...
Yep did this yesterday and some today lol!
Thank youu Gem ! fun ideas and already on the process of organizing my collection too
I don't make nearly enough for statues but I just got done organizing my marvel legends.
Good video gem.Man I get anxiety when I pick up books and don’t read them it goes away when I finish them
Just shared this to my collectables group! 👌🏻
Needed to be said! Things to stay positive and give reason to appreciate what you got!
Great video Gem, made me laugh more than once!
I'm definitely guilty of going over the top with cleaning my collection
Stay safe out ther gem! Hopefully we can get out of this quickly.
Enjoy your time together. Perfect time to crack open some new material.

This was a great video - would love to see even more of these "tips for collectors" videos (tho I know you're droppin vids like crazy so I'll chill).
Just organized my boxes
Ha ha, your rip at Dark Tower inspired me, that's been ignored on my shelf for too long, time to get it done!
Alot of comics are gonna get read and organized these next couple weeks 😂
This is a nice box collection hehe, nice video
Great recommendations. Stay safe and sound and minty fresh 😊🙏🏾😎
I use clz comics to catalog my singles and omnibus. It has a monthly fee now but if you're o.g. it was a one time fee of 14.99 they are constantly updating it and improving it.
I wish I had space to move around my statues
Gem cleaning his statues like Bob Ross, LOL.
Thank you for those precious tips...what do you think about putting your statues under a glass protection ? (not a plastic one because i find it less transparant than glass ).
This was a productive video, Gembo!👍😁 Stay safe out there, mate!🙏
Great video. I still have to report to work, but because it's slow, I have been working on that backlog
Good tips Gem love your channel and i wish you good luck in these hard times .
I just organized my books and even wrote on a paper taped to the outside of the box stating what's inside. So I can right to the box needed.
Dang Bro! Your collection is BANANAS and you guys keep it all clean and organized...I'm impressed!
good time to catch up on movies and tv.
I have about 2-3 months of books that need to be put away in short boxes. I attempted yesterday but it was a little daunting. Haha. But your vid gave me motivation to continue! Got plenty of time right now.
rearrange and open all my unopened boxes haha
Been getting through some spawn, punisher and vigilante comics. Stay safe out there and hopefully it'll blow over soon
I have been doing most this statue boxes I throw away I walk around neighborhood watch tv shows movies play games
During the lockdown I’m working lol. Manager at Costco. We are essential personnel. During my free time/off I’m reading manga backlogs.
What Manga are you reading? I've been out of the loop for manga for almost a year now. Naruto and Bleach are finished, and I haven't read AOT, One Punch Man, or One Piece in over a year lol.

Great video, my man! Thanks for the advice! If I had any statues I would dust them!
Going crazy this week without my pulls. It really is a good time to get back issues boarded and bagged.
My wife said she would sell the boxes on Ebay rather than store it for me. 🤣😂
I just finished the Guardians of the Galaxy Solo Classic omnibus and then busted out the DCeased hardcover in one sitting.
I’ve been doing a database for my video game collection. Damn I can’t even remember where I got certain games or how much I paid.... this month, lol. I’m going insane
My 2 favorite things from this video are:
Watching you dust off your statues and Phie reading golden age matieral 😂😂
Trying to read as much as I can at the moment, but my attention span is horrible and it's always difficult lol. Great vid!
I have 4 sisters so I won’t even have to buy a makeup’s brush. GREAT!!!
Imagine if this was the first gem video for anyone...ten seconds of make up brushing.....omg..lol😂
You're doing a great job brother, keep it up!! Stay safe and make sure the Statues stay shining!!!
Thanx Gem,
Rest.
Rinse.
Read Comics.
Repeat.
One love. Stay safe.
Everything ok with Tom? Just posting old stuff from last week.
Reminded of 2 movies ace ventura when nature calls and 40 year old virgin when he paints the soldiers pants powder blue
Cool statues and beautiful comics !
(1) You should get dividers between the comics (series). Makes it easier to sort (2)The dusting is pretty funny too (surprise you don’t have display cases with glass windows). (3) That can’t be all the boxes. Do you throw out your custom boxes?
i dont throw out boxes
Gem Mint Collectibles you should show where they are all stored 😂
Jason Wong we do show our box collection. Watch the video! 😆
This is quite possible my new favorite video you’ve done. 😄
lol thanks...trying to make videos that have a broader appeal but remain true to the channel
good video as always you never dissapoint :)
dusting them statue is fun and hell as well
Cool Video Gem!!
“Dust them shits!” Queue dusting music and montage. Lol
Got that Artgerm Magik variant cover, nice!

Love this vid the music in the background is hilarious and can’t believe Phie is reading that Superman Omni good luck
Love the dusting music🤣🤣🤣
Cant wait till this quarantine is over to get new books
If you finish those other books, you ought to read absolute new frontier. One of my favorites.
great vid man
Great vid keep it up and stay safe.
I use a swiffer duster for my statues
Having all those statue boxes near a hot water heater would make me a tad bit nervous. 😅
yea i think we're gonna buy a tankless after the pandemic
@@GemMintCollectibles You could always just make a shelf or something to lift them 6 inches or so off the ground too, if you don't want to commit to a new unit.
Great ideas and tips! Great vid. Y'all stay safe stay healthy!
Please show us more of your comic collection!
