I will be honest, I do not watch you a whole lot however when you do comic hunting videos like this, long or short hunts, I love seeing what you find

[@pop-comics]

The comic con hunt videos are my favorite to film. Its so much fun bringing everyone along for the hunt.

[@LenDanovich]

Sean is the best! And all was an inspiration to indie artists! Thank you for your support. He got a great eye for awesome fines!

[@pop-comics]

Thank you Len! Your artwork is great, its easy to support your work.

[@Snake92392]

Pro tip when sending to cgc to get your comics graded add as many stamps as possible to ensure you get a 9.8

[@mightycomicsandcollectibles]

Great finally meeting you at the show!

[@pop-comics]

Yeah it was really awesome bumping into you at the show, saw you in front of the line when I got there so had to stop and say hello when I saw you again.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

That was a KILLER box of Marvel B&Ws!!!

[@pop-comics]

The horror Magazines? Yeah I would have loved to buy the whole box.

[@MrBelmosan]

Love House of Secrets

[@pop-comics]

Yeah house of Secrets is great

[@Robert_Presto]

i love Mike Carbonaro's comics in the beginning of this video !

[@pop-comics]

Yeah amazing stuff.

[@pauljzittle6286]

I found your page about 2 months ago and really enjoy when you do your hunt videos and the ones going through them later. If I never sold my collection I feel like you would be the best person to sell it to.

[@pop-comics]

I am happy you found the channel. I love sharing my joy of collecting and the hunt, so its fun when you can enjoy it with me. I do love buying collections and try to be as fair as I can when I do.

[@pauljzittle6286]

@pop-comics that is why I figured you would be the best if I ever sold it. ( it's becoming a possibility) I wish I had access to the amount of shops that you do.

[@pop-comics]

Yeah the New York area is full of so many comics, we are kinda spoiled here

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Those prices on those old Disneys are good!!

[@pop-comics]

Yeah I kinda wish I bought a lot more of the early silver age ones.

[@silversurfer1968]

My favorite part of this video for me was mike's booth He's such a character. Just listening to him wheel and deal with other people. 😂

[@pop-comics]

Oh yeah always a blast! Really enjoy buying from Mike.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Sean... a True Digger... 7 K down and goin' thru the Dollars books... Salute, pal!!

[@pop-comics]

Got to keep digging.

[@ErikPeterCarlson]

Fantastic show! I enjoyed watching this episode. $8000?? I don’t remember if there ever was a time where I could drop unexpectedly $8000! What am I doing wrong?

[@pop-comics]

It was pretty insane! I just figure out how to pay for it later, will have to pull out some junk from my collection I am willing to part with.

[@CJsComicsandGames]

You passed up a Bob Hope book right in the end there when Jason was asking about the Spire Tom Landry book, which you also passed up. 😂 Loved the Chrissie Zullo visit and can't wait to see the haul video!

[@pop-comics]

I know did not see it and got distracted, only noticed while editing and kicked myself lol

[@howardweinstein1324]

Nice video, Like watching you dig thru all those boxes . I can tell the enjoyment you get searching. Wow over 8k, you should double your money easy.

[@pop-comics]

Thank you, I had so much fun digging.

[@collectingwithcharlie4046]

Omg, that guy that wanted the Fantastic Four comics at the first booth was MAD! It's like, sir, if you don't like the prices, walk away and go look somewhere else lol 😂

[@pop-comics]

Someone said he was a fun whatnot seller so I am assuming he was looking for a price low enough to make a profit on. Buying from Mike can be a roller coaster, his prices can be crazy high at first but then he always lands somewhere very fair.

[@collectingwithcharlie4046]

@pop-comics I guess that would explain it. Did he end up buying anything? Yeah, I got the vibe that his prices are high, but he is willing to negotiate. It would probably help not being rude to him lol

[@jcali2121]

Doesn’t the first shop owner sound like Stan Lee? Love that old school New York accent

[@CrimsonKitty]

Man I am obsessed with the old cartoon books now because of you. Especially Casper and Wendy and Spooky. I gotta start collecting em

[@pop-comics]

Love the Halloween feeling ones. Fun to collect and affordable.

[@CrimsonKitty]

@@pop-comics yes!! They're so flippin cute. Also while I have you here, I've only started collecting comics in the last couple years but I wanted to say I have learned SO MUCH from your videos. From basic lingo to like. How to look through boxes at cons or how to bag and board. And I wanted to say thanks!

[@pop-comics]

You are very welcome. I love sharing my knowledge and learning from others so we can all be better collectors and have more fun.

[@MariePascal82]

Hi Sean, I don't collect comic books at all, but I enjoy your videos because I am a collector of many other things and watching your enthusiasm is very relatable! 😄 Plus I like seeing some of the toy-related comic books pop up. (Yep, I collect toys.)

[@pop-comics]

I appreciate that. I love sharing my collecting journey with everyone so I really enjoy it when you tag along. I do love seeing all kinds of collections myself regardless of what it is. Its just fun to see people passionate about the things they love. I am a toy collector myself so I do love the toy related comics a ton.

[@pop-comics]

Checking out your page really quickly, my friend Jason found a stack of 50 or so late 40s early 50s Elle magazines that someone put in the recycling in his building. Super fun stack of Fashion Magazines I need to do a video on soon.

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

You're really good at picking!

[@pop-comics]

I try my best hehe

[@comicsprogressive]

Can't wait for a haul video from this show!

[@pop-comics]

Me neither, I was picking so fast that I have not had time to really enjoy what I found yet.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Just in catching up on what I missed... caught approx. last 30-45 mins of the end... from 2nd trip to artist's table to the end!!

[@pop-comics]

Enjoy

[@tinakaranson6964]

Happy Belated Birthday, Sean! Fun seeing everything while you were digging. I never knew Jason had a rap name 😁 👍🏻

[@pop-comics]

Thank you so much. There was so much to look at this year I was overwhelmed and felt like I missed a ton. But I also found so many amazing books.

[@geekimusprime]

Wasn’t able to make it to this show, but so fun to live it vicariously through you! 😅

[@pop-comics]

Happy you got to enjoy my hunt with me. I love doing a long hunt video and sharing it with you.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Always fun to watch you tear up the boxes... some of the Mag boxes were filled with cool stuff, incl those PIZZAZZ issues...!!

[@pop-comics]

Yup tons of fun stuff

[@MrBelmosan]

Any ghost stuff.. 👍👍

[@pop-comics]

Yup love the old school horror stuff.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

SIP Has some GREAT COVERS!!

[@pop-comics]

Yeah I love the whole line of comics, Terry Moore has lovely art.

[@llovethe80s]

Awesome video... hope you're wife won't get mad at your pricey purchase 😢

[@pop-comics]

Always a bit of a shock but I figure out how to pay for it so shes not mad.

[@peter2359]

Together we could have emptied the cartoon stuff. 😂👍 This was a great video. Thanks!

[@pop-comics]

I know, if I had not already spent so much that day I could have just started buying by the box lol

[@thecollector6947]

That table with the silver age Marvel stuff was awesome thats the type of stuff i want to collect

[@pop-comics]

Silver Age Marvel stuff is fantastic, I have a lot but still need a bunch more in my collection. Its common enough that when you hunt for it its not about finding it but finding it in a condition that is good enough for a price that makes you happy.

[@roblawford2214]

2:06:00 I would have bought all those Walking Dead music covers, however there were 12 of them, and I'm guessing they were $50-$100 each. That's a lot of dough 😁

[@pop-comics]

I am not sure did not pay attention but maybe. They could have been a deal too.

[@georgehenry1258]

You mentioned his name in the comments and then I placed the voice. Queens legend Mike Carbonaro. Went to both his stores in Forest Hills as a kid in the early 80s. I probably thumbed through that stack of Ronin #1s in 1983. What an amazing,INSANE random 1st long box

[@pop-comics]

Haha yup, Mike is a blast with so much comic history to share.

[@georgehenry1258]

@@pop-comics what a character. Nice guy

[@georgehenry1258]

@@pop-comics you can’t find Jerry Lewis/Bob Hope ANYWHERE. Beautiful Sugar and Spike though. Great video

[@pop-comics]

Yeah I have been working on my Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope run for years and I am lucky to find a small handful a year.

[@jeffjones2463]

I've never seen so many cartoon or funny animal books.

[@pop-comics]

Yeah normally the Golden Age and Atomic Age Funny books I find small pockets here and there. Never so many at once.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Noticed some TEEN TITANS after the big Romance batch... Kind a wished you'd slowed down... curious what his prices would've been on those...!!

[@pop-comics]

Oh yeah I think that was the Perez run, one of my all time favorite comics runs but I believe my set is almost done. I do need to sit down and figure out the last few issues I need though. That is kinda why I passed it up. I am assuming they would have been great prices too though.

[@yingabc7107]

How do they get such huge lot collections ? Wholesale ?

[@pop-comics]

Buying the same way I do, collections, buying in bulk from other dealers etc.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

How you keep track of all of the Funny/ Teen books I'll will never know...!!

[@pop-comics]

My long term memory is really good. But also I have a policy if its a 10 cent cover and I have no idea what the comic is I assume its semi rare and I buy it haha. With all the research and hunting I have done over the years I know if its new to me then its probably hard to find. And if I duplicate something I have a physical shop so its easy to put things out for sale to recoup and or make a profit on what I do sell.

[@MrBelmosan]

That comic.. from here to insanity.. seems to be worth some money. I've never even heard of that series.

[@pop-comics]

Did not know, very cool. Will have to look into it more.

[@pop-comics]

Did you remember what number I plucked from the boxes, I want to research it a bit.

[@MrBelmosan]

@@pop-comics I think #8

[@MrBelmosan]

@@pop-comics Right at 3:25, of the video.

[@pop-comics]

Awesome thanks. Does seem to be a pretty rare comic.

[@noodle3384]

2:19:17 tmnt role playing game manual book one ugh

[@pop-comics]

Oh was not on my radar to look out for but I think I got it for a great price.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Is this more AI music in the background or are they actually playing 1950s Jazz combos at the NY Con?

[@pop-comics]

AI music I added to cover up copyright music.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Noted the MARVEL's GREATEST... not your general profile... for a customer perhaps?

[@pop-comics]

Oh just on the table I did not buy those.

[@markok4086]

Obviously a rich rich man! Doesnt care much about condition. A lot of limp books.

[@pop-comics]

Nah I rather get a 5.0 for half its value then a 9.8 for double. Sure id love 9.8 books from the 40s and 50s but those are 1000s each. I am actually not sure the point of your comment lol

[@TomRyanComicBooksandPopCulture]

Dang! I need to carve out some time to watch this beast!

[@pop-comics]

Its a long one, but pretty insane one.

[@Alucard_76]

Dude u my hero .. u spend 7k in amazing book after u say is very slow i need to control myself 🤣.. but your face of happiness with a 85 dollars box of dollar books is like u made the best deal on town !!! Love this videos when u go out to hunt.!!!🫵💪👍

[@pop-comics]

Haha I love all the deals from 3K books down to the 50 cent each box LOL
