Mike, I’m still riding the high from that day. Meeting the inspiration for my channel and one of my heroes, finding some amazing books, and judging chain bbq but being pleasantly surprised are all core memories now. Our community is lucky to have you representing it, and I’m thankful to call you my friend. Here’s to Terrificon and the shows/adventures beyond!
2 thumbs up
Wow thanks so much buddy, befriending you is one of the best things that’s happened since starting my channel. May we share many more core memories in the future!
You guys are the comic equivalent to Deadpool and Wolverine! This was the TH-cam Marvel team up we needed ❤
@@billyrod1980 time to make the Chimichangas!!!
Glad I got to meet two absolute legends, never thought you’d be in Albany NY 😅 even my buddy and long time viewer Sean made it in the video
Always better when you go to a convention with a friend! Looks like it was well attended, so it's nice to see people out and buying comic books.
Great to hear you say "It's a reader copy and I'm going to read it", that's where the joy is - not sweating on whether the value will rise but just enjoying the story and art.
Ahh the ManThing and Nightcrawler finally get to meet. Looks like allot of money could have been spent at that Con. Those were some pretty good deals. Great that you guys had the day to hang out and I would imagine had a fantastic time. Can’t ask for anything better Mike!
Glad you enjoyed the show! I’m from Albany and go to this show twice a year. I’ve actually hit up quite a few stores on CT per your recommendations. I’m more of a toy collector but I definitely collect comics as well.
Demon 1 for that much!!😮😮😮😮😮😮
Amazing! Congrats Mike!
My 2 favorite channels on TH-cam merged. Awesome.
Great show, thanks for the cameo appearance Mike! Awesome meeting you and Brandon. This was one of the best comic con tables I had ever been to. He was a great guy, from my hometown too. I always went to check out that new store in Mass. You weren’t kidding, Rick the owner is a great guy. His dog Wrigley is my new favorite dog too.
@@seanmoran3470 so Mike one-upped me and got you in the video. It was so nice meeting you and Matt, hope to see you at Terrificon my man!
@@Moncomics lol it’s all
good, he’s the pro! Same here and hells yeah, Matt and I are looking forward to Terificon!
This sounds like an amazing convention. Glad you had fun and found some good books with good prices.
"That's normal" that cracked me up, thanks Mike. Some terrific deals you had there. My fav, probably the Deadman, Fantastic cover, Adams is a god. His art on a crisp (chip) packet would be good.
All those books were good, you say reader copy, I would be very happy with that in my collection. All had nice bright colours.
Anyway I cannot waste any more here I'm Off to DOM comics!
Cheers mate.
Now if there were only 1 (or more!) of these smaller comic books shows near me, ... LOL. Great vid, and very nice grabs!
Man oh man, I wish I could get out there to these Cons! Great hunt, as always
Two of my favorite comic creators in one place. This can’t get better!!!
My sentiments exactly ❤❤
Awesome issues, never even seen that FANTASTIC FOUR ISSUE BEFORE, OR AVENGERS # 54 My two favorites only because I only hadn't seen them before, really loved the D.C. comics, for I am a big collector of D.C. comics!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness
Love seeing all the nice books but more importantly...the friendship.
Great video. John owns my lcs. He's a really nice guy and he goes above and beyond for his customers
He seemed like an awesome person, I was really happy to meet him!
Wow!!! Great haul of comics. Keep up the great work. 😎
Wow what awesome deals you got at this show! Always love upgrading books to better copies. The Demon 1 is on my list! Hoping to get it at some point this year.
Man great deals! I'm in the market for Demon #1. $20...what a steal! Great finds and what a great looking show. Off to subscribe to M.O.N comics channel.
Awesome show wish I could have been but anyway fantastic haul bro 😎
Nice work Mike! It was London comic mart here yesterday and I would definitely have bought that deadman for £20 if there was one. Did pick up a nicely presenting Neil Adams Batman 241 though. Again, great cover art and buy what makes you happy.
Wish I had known you were coming to Albany. The guy who sets up to the left of the entrance always has heat
$8… I’m in!
This video was great! Bringing back when i used to go with my brother and search for hours.you seem to find some great books. Plus I also bought reader copies so I could enjoy them. Keep up the good search.
Oh nice pickups, i just got the same american newstand DC comics presents no. 26 the other month in about the same condition for about the same price (i paid 66 dollars for mine). It is the first big key issue in my collection and i could not be happier it fit right in with the small key i got about a week before which was the first appearance of blackfire.
First book that I saw there that I thought was a deal was the DC Comics presents
My main introduction to the Teen Titans was with Teen Titans Go! as well. I'd watch every episode with my little brother!
The smiles on both your faces…. I’m so jealous over here.
Great pick ups mike
Great video!
I’ve been hoping to stumble on the deadman book and demon 1 for a decent price. Still got my fingers crossed 🤞 Great finds! 👍
Mike, your videos are always a delight. But this one; Seeing my two favorite comic book TH-camrs together in one video, conning it up, and having a great time made me smile. Awesome that you two got to hang out. Great video, my man!
Thank you!
Ive been looking for demon 1 and strange tales 207...now that you have extras...
Albany Comic Con is my jam. Can’t believe that I missed you, Mike. Have to look for you @ Terrificon or Springfield Con. Glad you had a great time. Jon B is my LCS guy too. Good guy!
Don Nicholas was the vender. He’s a great guy too!
Altron is one of the toughest villains in the marvel universe. Josica was tuff also but sometimes she was bad and sometimes she was good. It's great to see you and Brandon 2 of my favorite youtubers together.
Ultron ;)
Man, $24 for Etrigan? If I should ever be so lucky, I'd be so happy. What a steal!
I was there and didn't see you guys!! Darn
Man… so many killer books! I’m glad you and Brandon finally got to meet. You guys are a huge match made perfect. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and awesome pick ups from the both of you!
Thanks Bruce!
Moncomics, I'll get me coat.
You scored some awesome deals! Ultron is my favorite Avengers Villain and it seems like his books get no love. It doesn’t bother me because I can get them for cheap, but it certainly doesn’t make sense.
Great video! So glad you two finally were able to get together. Great finds!! Heading over to subscribe to MON comics right after this! Looking forward to another great comic channel!
I am crying right now for I used to have tables at the Albany cons, and about ten years back I broke my neck and back, crushed my lungs, and with occupational therapy and physical therapy
I can walk with a walker or cane and without oxygen for up to five hours. But I have no wheels, live in Schoharie Co.about 50 minutes out of Albany, literally in tears wishing I could be there!!!
Can't wait to see what you got at least!!! GaryBailey KingofDarkness God of Thunder and Lightning 🧛🦇🐺⚰️🪦🌩️⚡🌩️⚡⚡⚡
Oh man I’m so sorry Gary, that’s terrible. Hopefully you can find a small bit of enjoyment out of our videos.
@@lunchmoneycomics Oh believe me I do, and what is your friends channel also, thanks LMC!! Gary Bailey
@@GaryBailey-hk4ex M.O.N. Comics, you can find his link in the video description!
So great seeing you two together at last!
Great content! I enjoyed this show.
Thanks!
Great pick ups! I also love it when two of my favs come together :) Brandon got some really nice books at that show too!
This is what the hobby is supposed to be. Great friends, great finds. Love the channels. Highlight this year was meeting M.O.N Comics on free comic book day.
@@Renegaderants Jason, it was a highlight for me when YOU said hi! Thanks for watching our adventures!
Buying slabbed comics you can’t even read to sell at a profit? No, that’s not why comics were created. Jack Kirby died barely making any money
@@thewalruswasjason101 man, you don’t seem to have much better to do than make negative comments on Mike’s videos. Are you ok man? I’m a big proponent of people making sure their mental health is ok. I would never tell folks how to buy, sell, or collect comics. Maybe you should give it a try?
@thewalruswasjason101
Some quick internet checking...
"Kirby,.... was earning $35,000 a year freelancing for [Marvel] (adjusted for inflation it was the equivalent of almost $234,000 in 2021)."
At the time of his death in 1994, he was worth almost $5 million.
Wish I knew you were going I would’ve went only about 20 minutes from me 😢. You picked up some great books 🔥
Superb video, as always, bud! I'm now off to source this absolutely stunning "cover of the year - 1967" - Neal Adams classic ✨️ thank you once again, for all your time, input, education, community spirit and passion, bud. 🙏🤘💎💜
Loved watching Teen Titans GO with my kids as well!
Great pickups! I’m after a DC Comics Presents too. Such a sleeper book.
Great hunt and even greater experience! I don’t know if I could restraint myself from spending more…
I like that Fantastic Four issue, did not know it was the first crossover with X-Men
Those were some very cool books and some of the others that were on the walls. Also look nice. I understand that you got in for free because you had tickets gifted to you, but you do not take into account the gas price or the wear and tear on your car getting in and out of New York. Oh, the tolls. Calculate all that into the cost of the books as well and see if you still think you did such a good job. One last thing calculate your time traveling back-and-forth.
I consider that the price to hang out with a friend.
Oops I of course meant Domcomics. Damn this Fentanyl...
I like Brandon's channel a lot; almost as much as I like yours. The GL story is kind of bad, but the Titans are great.
It would be awesome to see a tour of your comic book room. Do you collect graphic novels as well or mainly just stick to single issues?
I definitely get graphic novels to read though I wouldn’t say I “collect” them.
The bubble has burst! These vendors have way more stock they can’t continue to sell at so high a price, especially when cost of living for average Americans is skyrocketing and people have less and less disposable income. Just buying food for your family is getting too expensive. They’re now adjusting and lowering prices as expected. Prices got way too crazy way too fast.
That Superman/Green Lantern comic is a great score! A couple of questions… Have you ever been to any of the big comic cons like San Diego, C2E2, Fan Expo Boston?? If not, are any of them future destinations? Thanks for putting out great content. I love your videos.
I’ve been to FanExpo but I tend to shy away from cons like that because they are mostly pop culture instead of comic books. The biggest show I go to is Terrificon which is a fantastic large comic show
Amazing finds, and what a great show. That DC presents book IS quite the underrated book I absolutely agree!! There wouldn't by chance be another show happening soon up there? I'm actually going to be taking a roadtrip to Mass in the few days for about a week. Going to be well outta of my element but still on the look out for books in strange/unusual places along the way.
Depends when you are coming, there are a few shows in Connecticut this weekend, otherwise there are some in Mass on different weekends in July. Lots of great stores for you to drop into though
@@lunchmoneycomics Honestly I'm not sure when we are going to get to Mass, but I looked up that the place we are staying Northampton is 24mins away from your LCS so I'm hoping to be able to check it out
I have always been more than a first appearance collector. There is way too much great art and stories out there to just concentrate on first appearances. But of course, buy what you like and you can't go wrong! Love your vids!
It’s about money
He gets the first appearances to match up with the trading cards. Not for the monetary value.
Wow!
Hey Mike I just finished watching the video and was wondering if you wanted to sell the other demon 1 you have. I send you a follow request to see if we could work something out.
What a fun show. I love these small cons, they are actually focused on comics and not celebrity appearances or Funko or replica swords.
Is there any list or site you use to stay on top of shows?
Mostly just IG and FB honestly. Lots of word of mouth
@@lunchmoneycomics Have you considered posting the shows you intend to go to? Informs locals and provides fans an opportunity to meet you.
@@Rhavas I often do on my Instagram, though it’s sometimes only a few days beforehand
Great video! That DC presents 26 is nice! I’m currently looking for a copy myself.
Hey Mike, can you give me the info for Jeff the comic spa? I’m looking to clean and press a book.
Also, wicked con coming this August.., see you there!!
Yup you can email him at comicspa13@gmail.com. See you at Wicked!
@@lunchmoneycomics Ty!
Hi Mike, great video (as ever 😆) I see you bought 3x DC & 2x Marvel 😮 so more DC! Is this a first? 😂
Might not be a first but certainly a rare occasion!
@@lunchmoneycomics Great finds whatever 😃😂
Nice! how long did you spend there/ a couple hours? just curious
Yeah I think like 2 hours? We were really more excited just to hang out and talk
What’s the Amazon thing called that you got that changed your life? I wanna know now 😅
This is a nice change of content. At last you went out of New England! Baby steps! Maybe next State is NJ then Philadelphia. You'd be surprised to see what's outside of New England!
Thank you, though I find this to be a strange comment. Just because I haven’t filmed a TH-cam video somewhere doesn’t mean I haven’t been there before. I’m one of the most well travelled people I know, I’ve seen most states in this country and been to dozens of other countries as well. I film mostly in New England because I live here and as a busy father I can’t really fly around the country just to make TH-cam content. I wish I could!
Actually, he's one of the few comic book You Tubers to go international. LOL Check back through his videos, and you'll find one of him hunting in Quebec.
@@lunchmoneycomics If you come to England, south east (Kent) I would be more than happy to buy you lunch!
@@jebtan2001 aw man, I’d be there in a second! Been talking with the wife about going back to the UK and bringing the kids… might have to sell off a few comics to make it happen though!
@@lunchmoneycomics We would love to host you mate.
I KNOW THAT GUY!!!! He sold a comic to me on Facebook. Mon Comics? He said his name was Freddy?! Not Brandon. He sold me an FF number 72 for 90 bucks but I returned it because he didnt disclose it has restorations! Well, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt maybe he doesnt know and he's just new to collecting. At first he begged me to keep it he said he ha a family medical emergency but I firmly said sorry, I dont buy restored copies. Then we met at a parking lot and he just took back the book so fast and threw the 0 bucks back at my car then left. Didnt even made eye contact. Guessing he had a hard time selling comics online to people that's why he switched to being a TH-camr to earn extra income. Geez.
Sorry man, you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Brandon, not Freddy.
@15:39 you said "I prde myself to the fact that I try not get handouts."....YES YOU DO. In every video, you alays brag about how you got a handout, a free comic, a gift!!! Come one, man, do you not see that? In every video it's always "This dude that I met is a really nice guy, he gave me a handout!" LOLZ! What I noticed about you, Lunch Money Comics Mike, is that YOU ARE A HUMBLE BRAG. Look,man, receiving handouts is OKAY. ust dont deny you dont want it. BECAUSE CLEARLY YOU DO!
You forgot the final part of that sentence which is “for being a TH-camr”. Yeah I get all sorts of stuff but it’s usually from either an actual friend or because I helped someone out outside of TH-cam. What you and others don’t see is when I get offered free things from stores to mention them on the channel (or a thank you for doing so) and I decline or insist on paying for it. Happens all the time, I don’t feel comfortable with it. Do I get stuff for other reasons? Yeah, but not for that.
@@lunchmoneycomics Yeah. so dont deny you dont want free stuff, because you CLEARLY do want them! LOL
Man, are you ok? Did someone hurt you? Not much better to do than troll mine and Mike’s channel. Probably not many friends, huh?
@@Moncomics My comments are completely valid. It's not like I said Lunch Money Comics sucks. Ididnt say that. You are too sensitive. Sorry i criticized your crush, Brandon. hahahaha!
Great video. John owns my lcs. He's a really nice guy and he goes above and beyond for his customers
Awesome to see the dynamic duo in action together! I was salivating at those prices… Demon 1 and Strange Adventures 207 have both been on my want-list! Great video!
