Crazy Golden Age Comic Cover & My Favorite Popeye Cover | Pt12 Something Cool Unboxing

[@josephbarbera9220]

I agree Allen, that Popeye cover is so cool! I love it! Didn’t know it existed until now! I hope they release a reprint of that cover because I would buy it in a heartbeat!!

Hi Allan, I remember you showing that Popeye book on the Monday show 2 or 3 weeks ago. I love that cover, the exaggerated cartoony, caricature style, the look of Olive Oyl. I looked for that book but couldn’t find it anywhere. I checked the census to discover incredibly high sales prices, including what I’ve now learned through this video, your purchase of the 9.6 for $500+. Even if I found it, I couldn’t pay that much unfortunately. Thanks for another great unboxing video.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yeah really hard book to find. I love the way Olive oyl looks.

I really like the fact that you will buy books in any (or very low graded) condition if you think they are worth it, or at least noteworthy covers/stories. The BM #1 that we both bid on recently on MCS, was for sure the very worst condition comic I have ever bid on.... but I am trying to get better and it doesn't hurt that the book was one of the top grails in all of comics. LOL I am trying to get better, because some of these GA books really are "priceless" in any condition, just so you can have one. Regarding the Popeye book, you are spot on. If she looked like that years ago, I would be a life long Popeye collector! 😂 Also love the cover art...it is soooo GA looking! Here is another question for your Q&A video: What would say are the top 5 comic grails in all of comics, that are *Unobtainable* for the regular/average collector? AND, what would you consider the top 5 comic grails in all of comics, that are *Obtainable* for the regular/average collector?

That graded 1.8 book was sweet , I tend to like yellow covers just bought a fantastic four #2 that I’m looking forward to add to my collection

[@seanmageean5990]

The artist who drew that Popeye cover also draws Fearless Dawn. That Mystery Men issue you scored is so cool!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yeah I like his art.

[@briansmith3109]

Hi Allan, I kept NEARLY buying that Mystery Men comic for about a year.Really jealous now!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

It is a cool cover. I have 3 more issues that I've ordered as well.

[@Bel_Izeard]

That Popeye cover is amazing!

[@thrashleyb7594]

I saw Ryan show that mystery man comic. I’m glad you ended up getting it.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yup I got it from him.

[@Hazu.]

That popeye book has some great art

[@charleshickey8211]

I really enjoy your videos. Have you ever looked for appearances of the Saint? He is one of my favorite Golden Age characters. Keep posting and happy hunting!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I'm actually trying to complete the Saint (golden age) run. I'm only one issue away.

[@Matt_Likes_Comics]

That is the biggest fist I have ever seen.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

lol yeah

[@tonyfonseca2480]

That popeye cover rules.

[@chrisg2100]

Allen, I was lucky enough to get that Popeye on eBay about 5 years ago. Mine is still ungraded.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Wow very lucky....probably a lot cheaper.

[@chrisg2100]

Actually I had to up for it even back then $300. This book rarely surfaces so I jumped on it.

[@KimNguyen-zm7gi]

Interesting Popeye. Modern not even golden age. Thank you for your content.

[@jlo5134]

Love your channel Allen, but what's up with the shirt? You've been wearing it a lot buddy 😊

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I recorded the videos all at the same time.

[@cardsfan5100]

You see what happened was his left arm ate his right. That’s why it’s so big: bloating.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

That would explain it.

[@brianwyde3829]

You spend way too much time talking about the book before you show it. It’s very annoying.
