Gonna swing by to pay my invoice Saturday. Sent you a text to update my file the other day. I know one book from that order is back was in the last video but not the other two. You're busy, I know they will show up...I'll check status on your site tonight. See you this weekend!

0:36 Nothing is ever “ON ROUTE” they are EN ROUTE. Nothing puts a “HAMPER” on things, they put a DAMPER on things.

Nice quick video very informative. Unfortunately, I live too far away to come to the shop maybe one of these days I’ll get out there.👍🏻

sorry one more question how does CGC price magazines ? Do they price them like comics. Golden, silver, bronze, copper and modern

just asking but in winter time do you send boxes of comics to CGC always a day ahead of time because of weather or how the roads are.

I respect you even more for dealing with the box that dropped and how you dealt with it pronto by going to you local office and checked on them. Plus how you explained on how you packed them.

I'm fairly confident the Hulk 340, X-men 94, 266, and X-men 2 and GSXM 1 from the last ep. are my books and I'm stoked for the results of my 1st ever submission! Thanks again, Kevin!

Awesome job can’t wait to see what you can do with mine

Collecting for me is more about the cover art than anything else

Really interesting video, really interesting stories Yeah always a risk when you are sending anything anywhere Definitely a bit scary Great content as always

That inside baseball Mickey Mantle nice book Kevin I did the same thing. My brother did model boats. I took all of them to the local stream put them in and shot them with my BB gun in return. He shot me with the BB gun never did it again I was always told, collect what you love looking forward to more videos like this and I actually had an easy bake oven🤷‍♂️

Awww Kevin, how you gonna poopoo on my ASM 20? 😂 Odd my other 2 books from that submission weren't in this unboxing. Anyhow, I have a funeral this weekend but I'll swing by the shop next saturday and pay you cash money for that order and hopefully my other 2 books are ready then. I'm surprised that book got a 4.0 but when you fanned through at drop off you said "maybe a 4 tops", crazy though the 3 DD books from my last order presented WAY BETTER and got lower grades than the 4, I also need to pick those books up, you've had them for awhile (I did email you about them and my # change but no reply.

Mainly read and bought books like Silver age and Bronze growing up then read books now but cut back as I don’t enjoy the stories and art as much plus too many relaunches.

Carlos on that Mickey Mantle book . Smart!

Loved this stream, watched half live and half after So cool going down memory lane I hope you do full streams of the toy nostalgia in the future, would love to see more of your collection

Drink water everyday, but on Friday eat a double fish filet at McDonald's with extra tartar! 😋😜🤣

I like my signature on a separate sheet I can display beside a book if I have my choice or on my hardcover collection of the stories

Incredible stack, wow

Better than net-flix!

It's too bad, sticky has turned into such a clown

Go to old school comic show in Concord NH!! If you can, it's all comics and comic book artists 😊

Been going to comic cons since 03 but after the last one I went to (Keystone in Philly) I think I'm tapping out. The extreme majority of the dealers there must not assume shoppers do their homework. Losing interest in my Copper-Modern Books and getting more drawn to the Golden Age, especially the Donald Duck Books. I found several but the prices for their raw mid grade copies were literally almost as much as high graded copies from CGC I've seen from heritage auctions! Even several modern books that I wanted were literally double the price than what I saw online. Its to the point where I didn't even want to negotiate with them. I want to give these dealers business and would prefer 1x1 transactions, but these deals need to be somewhat reasonable.

I think the mainstream has a connection with the characters and not the comic books. This means they are happy to see things related to the characters like swag, statues and funkos at these comiccons.The real OG's know where it all comes from and the love will always be there.

There is too many of people selling these little cheap Chinese imported toys, pillows … etc I just want a comic and card show, that’s all … or at least make it a rule when organizing that at least 50% of the vendors are comic and cards VaughanCon was a little bit of a disappointment, not terrible but could have been better

Celeb prices are up there. I wanted to meet Mark Hamill. $400 for a photo, $500 for a sig. So i simply asked my family members if they would chip in on a photo op and consider that my birthday present. Everyone chips in like $20 and there you have it. That's the best idea for anyone wanting to afford a high-priced celeb.

I always wanted to create one called Genghis Con

i love cons for the comic artists and celebs I can meet. Get sigs... great merch, all kinds of merch from D&D Dice to comics. I love it. All the cosplayers, the vehicles... There are PLENTY of comic dealers at each one so it's not like comics are phased out in any way. I love how varied cons are. A con with only comics would be boring.

Kevin what books would you get Michael to sign.

Nice con in Winnipeg.

Kevin bout fan expo how many there.At our con near Halloween we have Michael Golden James Marsters ZEB wells Summer Glau was added and stars from Star Wars and arrow.Our prices on Friday $18.00 Saturday $40.00.Hopefully we’ll have more vendors than last year.

Amen Kevin. The Comic Cons of the early to mid 80s in downtown Toronto were 100% comics. If that was your thing, it was Nirvana. There was always a buzz in the venues, especially if popular artists or writers were there to sign or sketch. You reminded me of one of my fondest memories at a Con. George Perez was the guest of honour at the Ontario College of Art. It was at the height of his popularity with The New Teen Titans work. The hall was absolutely packed. George was great. Nicest guy. Talked non-stop with the fans, signed everything(can't remember if he EVEN charged for the signings), but we were limited to 2 items. He even did a quick sketch if he was asked. The highlight was an auction. George agreed to do a sketch of any superhero character on an actual comic board sheet to the highest bidder(all the money going to charity). So the bidding starts off and it quickly becomes a face-off between two fans. Eventually the bid gets to $300 and the second bidder is hesitant to bet more than that. There's a sudden pause everything goes quiet, I mean dead quiet. Suddenly George shouts out "How about 2 winners, 2 sketches for $300 a piece. It's for charity right?!" Both bidders agree and the hall just erupted in thunderous applause. So there's George sketching away on his two boards, all the while continually talking and interacting with the fans.

Doc you've had dinner with George Perez?? Would love to hear some of those stories he shared in a future video please!

I enjoyed this interview/discussion. The hobby encompasses so many aspects, including: reading, discussing, collecting, cleaning/pressing, protecting, grading, hunting, speculating, selling, flipping, and all the ancillary areas of the hobby. And it’s all available on KZbin! I enjoy it all…and I don’t even collect anymore! I wish I had this community to interact with during my collecting years.

These Golden Age comics are simply stunning!

Amazing show today Doc! Especially those Golden Age books. Man!

PSA Labels are stank. Generic soup can labels are all I see. I like how their cases have UV protection, but both CGC and CBCS have much cooler looking labels and that's all that matters to me as a person that slabs PC books to die with.

Has somebody who dabbles in a little bit of everything sports cards, comics magazines, and VHS without a doubt PSA will take over the magazine and sports illustrated market CGC always seem like an afterthought to them as comics were priority. As far as support from CGC they are awesome. I’ve had to call many times and everybody I’ve ever talked to was kind helpful and knowledgable very professionaland Kevin just thanks again for all your help. Couldn’t have done it without you again hopefully, see you Saturday.

1. Dumb to use a company server to email yourself the details of their particular plan. Dumb. 2. Subgrades wouldn't be so bad, especially if they keep it macro and simple, such as: Front Cover 9.2. Back cover 9.8. Interior 9.8. Spine 9.2.

How to lose money slowly

I clean/press, use CGC, as part of my.livung. I simply move with the market. I'll move from CGC if the market moves that way.

Hello, comic Doctor I have a few questions if maybe you wouldn't mind reaching out to me on the licensing and insuring aspect of a cleaning and pressing business. I currently do about 4 comic book shops here in Florida. And I can't seem to find any information or what it falls under for licensing and insurance. If maybe you wouldn't mind reaching out to me. If you wanna send a message back where it's just us 2 talking. I'll give you my phone number if you have the time. I know you're extremely busy. Thank you.

Two of my favourite Canadian you tube comic guys.

Based on my personal experience, I've found that CGC grading often falls short. It seems like many slabbed comic books I come across does not meet the grade, even according to their own standards. More often than not, the slabbed graded book is a grade higher than what it should be. This is one of the reasons I no longer use CGC for slabbing my comics.

I'm pretty sure I know who the "suspect" is Kevin. Years ago I brought some books to his shop to be sent to CGC for grading. After about 8 months and endless calls, they finally came in.... minus two of the keys. They were apparently lost somewhere in the process. We agreed on "compensation." A shame if this is still happening.

Just having one book done one month to press then they’ll send it in .Said it would take two months to get it done.

Great video Kevin and a big response you certainly touched a sensitive nerve!!

missed your show. I am of the opinion bad players should be outed in the community. Now of course that is after you make sure the info is factual.

I could believe it. A business based on trust will have scammers who will take advantage on that trust especially if the comic is over $30000.

Of course it doubled! Remember anger tends to do better on social media. (Use of the words in your thumbnail) 😉

There are rotten apples in every business. It's too bad that some people have moral issues
