Those are mylar bags. They are more expensive than regular comic bags and are designed for long term storage. Whoever put that collection together knew what they were doing.
Every time. It's like watching him bend the spines of kittens. ;-) There HAS to be a wearable camera so Alex can use two hands while pawing through what looks to be one of the most complete collections of Western Theme comics in private hands.
Alex, my heart can’t take this! Please do a proper unboxing with a tripod and a table. That way, we will be enjoying your stash without the manhandling. Cringing at the way you flip these comics backwards from the top. 😭
What a great collection you were very lucky to have the opportunity to get them. Your wife and kids are great they know Dad knows what he is doing. Enjoy going through them what fun!
You have a knack for finding the most interesting stuff in out of the way places.. I'm so glad I decided to follow you a couple of years ago.. definitely have enjoyed watching the channel bloom and grow..Steven hadn't even cracked his voice when I started following you. Now he's got a grown man's voice and his own channel
Gee . Wonder if the Autry would be interested. The museum, given its founder, has a focus on film and television westerns. I am a member of the museum but you may want to give them a call here in Los Angeles. Also Gigi Garner, James' daughter, would love to see the comics of her Dad. I will let her know.
I sold my 1957 Brett Maverick doll (action figure) at a garage sale for $20, along with several Maverick comic books. My mom loved James Garner so much she made me trick-or-treat as Brett Maverick when I was a little girl.
Great find and deal! I think you've earned being offered these great and diverse collections by your fair and respectful way of doing business. I did flinch though, watching you manhandle (from a collectors perspective) those comics!
i know everyone loves the westerns, but BANANA SPLITS! I saw the cover and went back to my childhood. My dad was a big John Wayne fan so I grew up watching him too lol
What a fantastic find. Must have been a lifetime of collecting all that stuff and carefully and methodically preserving the collection. I would happier than a pig in BLEEP, going through all this. Have fun!!!!!!!!!
What a buy. I wish i was close to your shop now. I been buying and reading comics for many decades now, and really love to sit down and enjoy a good drawn and written comics. Some of the old one, is still great stories, and well made.. I would read for a long time, if i had this box in fron of me. Wish you a nice and warm week. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
Maybe just my issue but it bothers me to see all the lid boxes tossed aside and pulling out the comics and stuffing them back down. That is a prize collection and I would want to preserve them with as great care as the collector obviously had done. A bit sad to see a life's boxed enterprise now randomly strewn in your garage.
😱 For a person that has handed collectibles since the age of 9, you would think he would know how to handle a comic book. I was pulling out a handfuls of hair watching him push it back down, while they were bending like a longbow! Jesus man, you're throwing money away! 😢
What the hell are you doing...? Why do people like you get to find these collections?? You are DAMAGING THE BOOKS. STOP IT. You cannot SMASH these books back into the box like that! They survive 70 years, and you get your damn meathooks on them and ruin them in seconds. STOP IT.
That was a great find you got, but as a comic collector I found myself flinching a bit how you we're pulling them out and putting them away. Considering the age and how they we're bagged and boarded I would recommend on future videos with comics like this to have someone else hold the camera so you can use both hands to properly pull and put them away. If any are worth big bucks you should highly consider sending them off to CGC to be graded and list them up on ebay. Otherwise have fun looking through those gems! ^_^
Samsara Sigma Yes, he should ‘Handle with care’ because every crease, crimp, bent corner or other defect devalues the comic, sometimes considerably. That ‘near mint’ can become a lesser grade if you aren’t careful, losing $10’s or $100’s off the value.
Teresa Armstrong Canadian college and Graduate tuition is so much less expensive than here in the states. If our daughter hadn’t gotten a very good scholarship for UVM, the cost would have been staggering.
Watching you manhandling and bending golden age comic books really woke me up this morning, and I was out of coffee. Several of those comic books lost points on grading by your bending them and adding spine ticks. I gotta say, maybe YOU shouldn't have bought this collection? What did you pay for all this?
Outstanding find. I know that you are experienced and careful, but I still cringe when I see you do so much handling of valuables with one hand that ought to be done with two. Please get an alternate head mount or something for your cam :(
Love it! Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. It was so much fun to watch you investigating all the old comic books. If I were there I would volunteer to help go through all the comics.
Wow, that's was an incredible haul. My librarian OCD means that I started writing down the comic book titles and THEN started looking them up. I have to stop.... but it is so satisfying when I find something, Anyway one Lash LaRue #1 in VG condition sold for $68 in Ebay. I have to stop because I'm going to go down that rabbit hole of researching and I'll be here at 4:00 a.m. still typing and clicking. It was fun though!
When we buy large lots of comics I sort them by name but that is already done for you. Once you do that you can search for key issues like first appearances. I found a Amazing Fantasy #15 at auction for $27 and sold it for over $4000. You just never know what is out there, we just bought $3000 worth of 30s and 40s car parts today for hot rods, that should be an amazing video brother!
Hi Alex.The collector you bought this from has saved you a bunch of time and money by bagging each comic including the board. You would know just how much from having to do the last lot of comics you bought. I wouldn’t be surprised if he also catalogued or inventoried the collection judging by how methodical he was - everything is labeled - which makes your job easier. I have loved reading all my life and often received books for birthdays and Christmas. I had a collection of hard copy books like the price guides (that’s how they were printed back in the day) of shows like The Beverley Hillbillies, Annette Funicello, Nancy Drew, etc, but lost them all in a house fire 5 years ago 🙁. Stay safe and well 💕🇦🇺.
Your life seems so fun! :) I'd love to go through those boxes! My father owned an antique shop and we went to auctions and I'd love when we'd buy box lots without really knowing what was all in them, then going through them when I got home :)
Did I see a grey Toyota FJ Cruiser hauling this awesome find? That’s what I drive (don’t want anything else), and I’ve been collecting and selling comics for decades. Great find, but if it was superhero, crime, horror or even romance (seriously... the right artists go for crazy money), you’d be looking at millions of dollars. Westerns are slow here in my area, but it might be a different story up there. Congrats!
As a 22 yr old unlike most my age i have a small collection of 50s and 60s comics one of just my many collections along w old board games some posters movies and vinyl but dell and gold key and harvey are actually my favorite not the marvel or dc even though i probably have a small amount of those that would be my dream collection right there.
The Tarzan vs Dinosaurs comics are very likely based on/inspired by the 1930 Edgar Rice Burroughs novel "Tarzan at the Earths Core" where Burroughs crossed over his popular Tarzan series with his Pellucidar series. Pellucidar was the inside of a hollow earth populated with creatures from throughout Earth's history, including lots of dinosaurs.
To have a collection of any comic from start to finish is an awesome find. I hope you get your money's worth. Maybe a road show of some sort in US? Those western comics would sell for a mint!
Met Dale Evans when I was in High School '75. She was an amazing and classy lady! Need more like her today :)! She spoke of Roy like it was yesterday... Sweet!
I wish I had found your channel when I lived in Edmonton. I still have a storage unit full of stuff. Not sure when I will be able to get back out there. Lmk I have lots of good stuff tks
Anything you can get graded is super hot right now. When I hear 10,000 comics, I think of 80's 90's overproduced stuff that sell for $1 or $2 mint, but in bad condition. What I call molden age. You got a serious bankroll right there.
Napoleon Solo and Ilyia Kuryakin. Robert Vaughan was so suave and had a voice that would melt butter, now sadly passed away. Enjoy the series that was our childhood.😊
I recently bought an old golden age western collection. There are a ton of great western books. Magazine enterprises with Tim Holt/Ghost Rider are awesome. Excited to see more of this collection.
You need to look some of these comic books up on Ebay and see what they sold for. I just looked up lone range and depending on the # they are going between 20 and over $100 a piece
Another reported inspiration for Indiana Jones was Roy Chapman Andrews.Andrew's. Born in Beloit Wisconsin and graduating from Beloit College, he moved to New York and worked at the American Museum of Natural History. Starting there in 1906 by cleaning floors and helping with the taxidermy he ultimately moved up to Director in '34. He did extensive expeditions in the Gobi Desert (Mongolia) in the '20s. Coincidentally Roy and "Henry" shared a DEEP fear of snakes...lol.
I saw that sign on the wall behind you at 16:50 sell for $870US this morning (9/13/2020) at an auction. I don't remember if it was on this video or another, but if you have a comic with the Daredevil battling Hitler, I saw a price of 50K on that one alone. You'd be strongly advised to have someone wrangle that hoard for you. You may pay for your new addition and then some...
I know it's your stuff now and you are excited but I wish you would use two hands to handle this valuable stuff so it isn't crimped and bent on the edges.
I think that someone else had gotten a hold of those comics first and grabbed all the Marvel and DC. If that collector had those books, you best believe that he also collected those.
You scored a home run, there's a lot more than comics here! I would wager you now have the most extensive collection of pop Western comics of that era! Or at least one of the top 3.
I am actually been dealing in comic books for the last 30 years... I have about 15 Thousand of them.. I would be all over this deal... lol ahhhh man so want them my self lol great video thanks for sharing.
@@SuperNmolnar Yeah, I remember some of those 10¢ comics. My Dad was sort of "Old Fashion" and wouldn't let me read any comic books unless I read a "good" book afterwards. (Later, he "lightened" up.

You got that right. Without a doubt Serious, Serious collector.
It was mint condition until this guys bends every one of it while taking it out for the camera
@@blardymunggas6884 the bending and force fitting back in hurt my soul.
Please don't bend the comics your killing me! (It creases the spines!!!) Thanks for posting Alex.
I cringe so much watching this, I feel your pain!
I wish Alex would get one of those "camera bras" so he can have both hands free.
Every time. It's like watching him bend the spines of kittens. ;-) There HAS to be a wearable camera so Alex can use two hands while pawing through what looks to be one of the most complete collections of Western Theme comics in private hands.
Same. I was cringing!
Alex, my heart can’t take this! Please do a proper unboxing with a tripod and a table. That way, we will be enjoying your stash without the manhandling. Cringing at the way you flip these comics backwards from the top. 😭

My favorite part!
Great find and deal! I think you've earned being offered these great and diverse collections by your fair and respectful way of doing business. I did flinch though, watching you manhandle (from a collectors perspective) those comics!
Yeah, me too. The way he was just stuffing them down made me squirm...
That cowboy gunslinger with the black “face covering” would make a great “WEAR A MASK ”poster!
I'm soooo jealous. What a collection.If I wasn't broke, I'll buy all the "space" and Tarzan comics. Oh well. Well done Alex.
I agree Melissa is great, and she knows you know your business. She has confidence in you!
I so wanted to see what the 2nd lunch box was!
i know everyone loves the westerns, but BANANA SPLITS! I saw the cover and went back to my childhood. My dad was a big John Wayne fan so I grew up watching him too lol
I signed copy of A Lash LaRue can go up around $1,000 depending on condition even a little higher
Tex Ritter was John Ritter's father, in case you didn't know.
And Jason's grandfather...
I loved his singing the theme song to High Noon.
We’re gonna need a bigger store
Amazing collection of comics great pick up hope you make Triple your money back Possibly more 😊❤️

GREAT western novels. Excellent character and plot development and very detailed descriptions of landscapes and life in the Wild West.
My dad did too.

And before I even watch I'm completely jealous
Wow alot comics some of can pay your bill s off . Lol . Amazing stuff you I can't stop watching your show.
I am cringing watching you turn those 9.8s into 9.0s by jamming them in and out of the boxes and bending the spines. It actually hurts to watch this!
Those King of the Royal Mounted look awesome! So cool.
Maybe just my issue but it bothers me to see all the lid boxes tossed aside and pulling out the comics and stuffing them back down. That is a prize collection and I would want to preserve them with as great care as the collector obviously had done. A bit sad to see a life's boxed enterprise now randomly strewn in your garage.
Wow! The prior owner took "collection" to a whole nother level! Love to hear his story, or the story of you finding out the worth of some of these.
😱 For a person that has handed collectibles since the age of 9, you would think he would know how to handle a comic book. I was pulling out a handfuls of hair watching him push it back down, while they were bending like a longbow! Jesus man, you're throwing money away! 😢
I love how your family helped you I think they are used to their dad being dad 🤣🤣
Excellent collection you've got there...
The covers alone are probably not stapled, which would mean they are probably cover proofs.
