[@mainstreetcomicstoys8284]

Thanks for stopping by...glad you like the books!

[@MintHunterComics]

I'd come every weekend if I could!!

[@phantasmcomics3165]

Thanks for stopping in...I'll do some digging and get some fresh books in those bins for you! From the Phantasm Crew, see you next time you stop in!

[@MintHunterComics]

You got it man! You know I always love coming! I actually got some cool books for you to check out, I just gotta find a free day lol

[@martezberry3164]

You are the man. Im inspired by your hunting & collecting. I stopped buying in like 1996 but i still got most of my books that go back to 1979. I feel like reading again :)

[@commodorerook3797]

Very refreshing to see another Green Lantern collector! All you ever see are videos on Xmen or Spider-Man! I have been collecting Green Lantern since 1978!

[@MintHunterComics]

Ahhhh we have much to talk about my friend! I LOVE green lantern and I consider Geoff Johns run to be one of the greatest comic runs ever made!

[@Preston_Mitchell]

I really don’t see anyone that just collects Spider-Man and X-Men

[@pattongilbert]

@@MintHunterComics I just read Blackest Night from my local library and MY GOODNESS is it good!!! Easily one of the very best comics I’ve ever read. I wish more comics would be like it.😢

[@elvibora3965]

Spent good money on small businesses. Good deed man! Not to mention good deals. 👍👍

[@MintHunterComics]

You got that right!

[@noahidecomics]

POINT FOR SPECULATORS: Remember, we too define what is hot in choosing the comics we like. In that store were they did not have too much in terms of key issues, I would imagine there were probably a reasonable number of issues which you might simply have liked. When we just buy some issues which we like a bit, gradually these become in demand issues, as supply dwindles, and price rises. Weird, but we all should do our bit to push up values for the whole of pannapictagraphia.

[@MintHunterComics]

True. -WE control what is "liked" and "disliked" in comic world

[@noahidecomics]

@@MintHunterComics btw - with print runs under 30,000 - if you buy 10 issues, this has a small percentage impact on the comic's value. With miniscule print runs around 3,000, if you buy 100 issues slowly, it can really increase in value. We can literally make a comic rise in value personally for the small fries.

[@noahidecomics]

I call it 'Targetting'' a comic issue.

[@therealpaulortiz]

Nice day's worth of fun! Great video!

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks Paul!

[@A100-y2c]

Your Micronauts issue likely has distributor ink spray at the very top, probably no discoloration there. Very common for '70s newsstand comics.

[@MintHunterComics]

That is really good news! I was hoping it was something like that it almost looks like a printing error. It's def going out to CGC once I press it!

[@BowmansWorld]

Cool, snowy, cozy, non crowded area/state. Dope comic vlog!!!!

[@MintHunterComics]

Appreciate it!! thanks my man!

[@RayFromCarolinaComics]

30 years ago I was in that Milltown store and found a Hulk 181 in the back issue bin.

[@MintHunterComics]

Oh man.... that doesn't happen anymore thats for sure!

[@AlexSzostak13]

...And the Hunt Continues...!! Nice!!!

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks John!

impressive content Mint Hunter Comics. I crushed the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the excellent work.

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks so much my friend and welcome to the crew! Glad you enjoyed the content!

[@Whalewraith]

I'm in the uk and comic shops as I knew them seem to be on the whole a thing of the past. We still have them but i don't know anywhere local with back issues. What we have mainly is media shops with a wall of new stuff, a good collection of graphic novels, some manga and a lot of multi media merchandise, shirts figures light sabres that kind of thing.

[@chriselli2468]

Wow!!! Just WOW!!!!! What an amazing day. And the final two X-Men books you scored...amazeballs!!!!!!

[@MintHunterComics]

It was one of my most successful trips for sure!

[@Erica-ls7bp]

Wow, there's so many comic shops in the PA/NJ region near you. That alone is quite impressive, especially since I keep hearing that comic book stores and collecting is a dying hobby. Also, nice channel I've binged a bunch of your videos.

[@jeramiecartwright4580]

I just started watching you're videos. Love them.

[@archangel0891]

There's not enough of us!

[@stevenschaller1672]

Omg main street comics I was there a few years ago during our trip to the shore!! Good stuff!

[@MintHunterComics]

Great store man

[@andrewcai5042]

Great Kamandi, Kyle Rayner, Sodam Yat and Larfleeze pickups. Very cool Green Lantern comic books.

[@MintHunterComics]

Right? Super super underrated books!

[@chuckcarr9187]

Awesome finds, love the GL books. I've been trying to fill in my GL collection for a few years now as well. Very jealous of the first appearance of Tera find for so cheap, I've been looking for that one myself lately. I also love the Brian Bolland covers, his art is amazing. I got a chance to meet him in Toronto at a Con and he signed my Killing Joke poster. He said I was the only one all weekend to bring the poster and not the book. Lol Great show as always. 👍

[@FreeKeyLoowee]

A free Saturday just for comic shopping is a dream brother, excellent finds my friend, gotta love Spider-girl😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🙏

[@MintHunterComics]

The rarest find of the day was a free Saturday haha. Can't even put a price on that

[@billlewis8765]

Oh I’ve definitely ran into a few stores that don’t haggle. I agree it does take some of the fun out of it. Emerald city comics in Clearwater Florida would not budge from their Overstreet price guide pricing.

[@MintHunterComics]

See thats odd to me, I really think haggling is a part of the comic culture and I love it! There's no better feeling than getting a sweet deal below price guide

[@ComicFoo2814]

Cyborg1 was my LCS as a kid in the original location on Main. And I got my UF4, Batman Adventures 12, and Star Wars 2 at Phantasm just in 2018. Great shops! Thanks for the vid.

[@christopherdukes2476]

Great pickups, even though most of my collection is Marvel, Green Lantern is my first hero I started reading.

[@jerrythejitterbugcomicbook4098]

Great haul. I like being able to check out local shops.

[@MintHunterComics]

Me too, I can't wait for my next free weekend

[@theayatollahofrockandrolla]

Good call on all that GL...now's the time while no one's looking.

[@MintHunterComics]

Exactlyyyyyyyyy

[@Utubesanarc]

That GL where Doc Strange is mentioned has a cover by Jeff Johnson. He would later draw issue 125 which was Ron Marz departure. Anyway I come from Very Gary Comics and Antonimo Bays comic channels. Might add you to my comic subs😺

[@MintHunterComics]

Ah I see! Welcome my friend! Glad to meet another Green Lanterner!

[@basketsresale]

Great Saturday Very cool vid

[@swazee13]

Love your videos, you inspire me to collect

[@johnmonachelli9292]

Great video. I was at Zapp with you. I was the guy standing in your way and didn't realize you were waiting behind me to look in some boxes. Sorry about that. Zapp is my favorite store. You got some great books!

[@MintHunterComics]

I REMEMBER YOU! Hahaha, I was worried I was being a jerk for trying to get around you! Hahaha great store!

[@johnmonachelli9292]

You were quiet and I had no idea you were behind me. I heard you tell the guy at the counter you were hitting 7 stores that day and when I saw the video title couldn't believe it. That's a lot of stores in one day! Thanks for the review on those shops. There are several I haven't been to. So, I'm now subscribed to your channel. Thanks!

[@MintHunterComics]

That's so crazy! Yes I was quiet haha I was so concentrated on digging deep for some finds. Welcome my friend!

Hello. I was going to get that same kind of mask. Also I might get some orange cat socks too. I used to have an orange kitten named Garfield. Take care.

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks for sharing Justin! I also have a wolverine, and bane mask

Gotta get the ladies permission first!

[@UNCANNYGEORGE]

Great pickups! Also love the Doomsday statue in the background!

[@MintHunterComics]

It's a great one! one I'm selling soon too actually

[@greatpix]

Green Lantern was always a favorite of mine along with The Flash. I wish I still had that first issue with the yellow spaceship on the cover. It was a great time to be a 10 year old kid and discovering all those characters who are today the icons of comics. I stopped collecting in the mid '90s and didn't start up again until last year when I was stuck at home because of the pandemic and being retired so I decided to clean up the garage and brought out some of the comics after seeing they were still in really good condition. Then I learned about dry cleaning and CGC and found out I had some books worth something. I sent in that X-Men 120 as a test and was surprised it came back at 9.8. (not complaining at all though). I used that to finance sending in a dozen more books.

[@captaincola7449]

New sub. Absolutely love Brave New World. Your in my hunting grounds as well. Nice to see a local utuber. The guys shop in Lambertville you can always find some hidden gems for great prices. There's a couple places closer to me that you might be interested in checking out. Wade's Comic Madness, Garden of Earthly Delights ( I know sounds weird). They do a fill a short box for 40 bucks. Also Comic Collection.

[@MintHunterComics]

Wow I've actually never been to any of those. Sounds like my next free weekend is already planned out for me!

[@captaincola7449]

@@MintHunterComics Thank you as well. Couple of those store of your I will be checking out as well. Lol. Good luck hunting. Looking forward to see what you get next. Seeing if you go to those stores. FYI wades comic madness has pretty awesome daily Facebook auctions and more. so check them out

[@adavis688]

Damn what a haul! those x-men keys look like they're in great condition

[@MintHunterComics]

At least two of them (not X Men 100) are 9.8 candidates!

[@Vp-jt3vl]

Awesome pickups, I love the Kamandi covers!

[@MintHunterComics]

They actually had Kamanda #3 u shoukd have gotten it. Maybe next weekend

[@BustaBustDaDog]

Kamandi is a my favorite Jack Kirby work, underestimated IMO

Awesome content, just subbed. Currently in Boston but in Philly regularly as I have lots of family there. I've been to a lot of those shops, and I remember Brave New Worlds being great, as well as Golden Nugget Flea (which I've only been to during the summer). Great video and go birds.

[@MintHunterComics]

I agree - I was pretty impressed. - second time I went back I ironically didn't get anything though

[@TheComicBookReport]

Love the Kyle Rayner graded book

[@MintHunterComics]

Oh absolutely

[@KenDeemerVikingKen]

When you use the term "Pressed" can you explain? Or Maybe do a Video on the subject? I wish we had better Comic shops down in where I live.

[@MintHunterComics]

Pressing is the steps of smoothing out and preserving a comics back to it's original form. it get rid of bends, waves and more!

[@1dwkornegay]

Awesome finds man. I've found an X-men 221 and an X-men 4 (Omega Red) for $5 each not to long ago. Just got them back from the press and clean, off to CGC very soon.

[@MintHunterComics]

I see you! Those are solid books man!

[@lordsawerin]

Looks like you are into Green Lantern) The same with me but Batman. Great job. Some of those are amazing! Greetings from Ukraine.

[@MPScrimshaw]

Zapp is a nice store. That was my LCS when I was actually working out of my office in twin Rivers.

[@MintHunterComics]

This was a first time for me there actually! Pretty happy!

[@greatpix]

Last year I sold my X-Men 120 CGC 9.8 for $3,000 and X-men 121 CGC 9.8 for $950. Yesterday sold my X-Men 129 CGC 9.6 for $800. Sure am glad I never threw those books away and kept them in decent storage conditions. So let that be a lesson to all you kids out there to never throw ANYTHING away. What hurts the most are all those '50s and '60s Marvel books I bought which are worth $millions today. I wonder how many mothers are responsible for making their kids throw away valuable comics?

Enjoyed the video, I was luck to have the entire Geoff Johns GL run in my pull list from the start, and still have it! I agree with you that it’s one of the best runs! Most of the keys I have in 9.8, including the regular and variant cover of issue #25 I would also recommended getting the issue #9 variant in 9.8 if you can, minor 1st appearance but the cover is hands down my favorite, story is great too. If you know the cover, you know what I mean.

Imagine buying comics because you love them, or not having to think about 'keys', CGC, or the actual subjective worth as opposed to market value....just appreciation for what it is. Imagine not slabbing a comic that just came off the press. It's just a repeat of the early 90s all over again sadly. The emperor's new clothes.

Excuse my ignorance but I thought CGC 9.8 comics are rare and even the comics that come out today, brand new when submitted to CGC most come back 9.4. Am I wrong or is it based off of the era the comic was printed, specific issue, and quantity still out in circulation?
