I've been dorkin' out over 20 cent Bronze Age DC books! Love them! ❤

[@christopherwescott551]

All killer grades and covers. I'm my opinion the cover that got the 9.8 was the best looking artistic cover. Stunning.

[@gtexodus]

To be able to get your hands on so many GL 9+. You have every right to geek out about it. 👏👏👏

[@MintHunterComics]

AGREED! hahaha

Great video James. These are the videos I enjoy most when a collector geeks out over his/her collection, cause I am the same way. Your love for your collection really shines through in the video.

Great to see that your Green Lantern collection is growing slowly

[@MintHunterComics]

It sure is!

[@KindaTwisted329]

I really enjoyed watching you “dork out” over your “crap”! I may not collect the same books as you, but I love to watch people talk about their finds and show their love for this hobby. Their happiness and enthusiasm is fun and contagious, and it’s a great way for me to learn about and see books I may never have know existed. (Im a new collector, never knew about bagged Whitman books until I saw one of your videos recently. Picked up my first bag this week, thanks!) While I enjoy all you put out, this was a little more fun. And congrats on the grades! Any book from the silver and earlier age in such high grades is a real find.

[@MintHunterComics]

I'm HAPPY to dork out over my crap anytime! those were always my favorite youtube videos so I'm happy whenever I get to do mine

[@theobsessedcollector]

Wow James! Those grades are AMAZING for those books. They look beautiful on your video and I agree, a 6.0 or higher is reason to celebrate on that era. Green Lantern #69 9.8. What's insane man 🎉

[@MintHunterComics]

There's NO BETTER FEELING

[@ilikenerdstuff2927]

I kinda fell out of comics a bit ago but I used to watch a lot now because of this video I might dive back in.

[@GreekGeek66]

I share in your love of GL and its amazing to see 60 year old books in this type of condition. Kudos on the grades!

[@MintHunterComics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Deadman1957TEB]

You must be going up the charts with that GL collection? I bought those books off the stands when they came out, like you said, they weren't in those conditions, the majority of them anyway! They also knocked spots off other DC covers at the time, Gil Kane a much under-appreciated artist in my opinion!

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

Back in the 1960s, Gil Kane was on everyone's top three list.

[@charlesjohnson3287]

Fantastic books! Congrats on adding some Silver Age gems to your PC!

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks a bunch!

[@keithkovalic]

After watching you, basically, since you started focusing more on comics than statues, I have been itching for the elusive "Green Lantern Video." Are you waiting until you have EVERY SINGLE issue and appearance? 😅😅😅 Keep up the great work!!

[@cubsblue1971]

Nice haul!! good luck reading those graders notes if you happen to get them CGC has been a tad lacking the graders notes lately but as they like to remind you it's done as a curtesy even tho they like to advertise it.

[@xavierloera1938]

Man that’s very impressive. I can barely submit a modern to be in the high 9’s let alone silver age 😂 You got the gifted eye James.

[@MintHunterComics]

It’s simply a matter of restraint. Be patient and only submit books that look PERFECT and you’ll see a higher 9.8 ratio!

[@robertquinlan4269]

Looking forward to seeing your complete Green Lantern run. I'm working on completing my Superman run from John Byrnes revamp up until the new 52. I know they're not overly valuable books, but that's "my" Superman, the one I grew up with. I will eventually get some key issues stabbed, I have a few candidates already.

[@CHAMPDOGZ]

Nice I've been trying to complete my Superman Curt Swan run for a long time, good luck

How in the world do you find such high grades of these old books?!?!?!

[@mistere.thelowgradeking5514]

Awesome Green Lantern Books!!!! I've been finishing up on my Conan the Barbarian collection from the Bronze age. I would love to get high grades on the early issues. I been focusing on 5.0 or higher because I don't want to break the bank. Can't wait to see your Green Lantern collection after you complete it.

[@joe3019772008]

[@Joeh1154]

Beautiful books indeed! Congratulations on all these high grade books. And yes, considering the era, it is surprising to see so many in high grades. I'm a Marvel Silver age collector but I can truly appreciate that your going for a complete run of GL and in extreme high grade. Best wishes for you and your business in the new year. Regards to all.

[@MintHunterComics]

I totally agree!

[@eggplantcomics8336]

Currently 2 cgc 9.8's on census for Green Lantern #69 congrats! 🎉

[@edwardsaravo2702]

Congrats on those grades. It would have been awesome if those were Marvel books from the 1960’s, but the fact that they are DC books makes it ten times (maybe 100 times) more incredible! DC books from that era in 9.4 and higher are incredibly rare. And as you mentioned, many times there are ZERO in 9.8 on the census. You have every right to be stoked about that batch of comics.

[@collectbaseball9991]

These books are beautiful - absolute gems! I’m wondering, have you ever had two graded GLs and preferred the lesser grade for your collection because you felt it was the better presenting copy?

[@MintHunterComics]

Yes. I had a white pages and pedigree book exactly one grade lower (9.2) that I like MORE than the 9.4 with off-white pages and non-pedigree

near mint for 50+ year old comics, outstanding....

[@ScarecrOmega]

Almost made it to the only old Green Lantern book I have #75, Id say it's 7.0-8.0

[@alexanderkliminksy7574]

Had a thought. You love the green lantern like I think a few other people do. You also had that first appearance of Asoka that was worth a small mint and if I remember you said selling those kids of books are hard because of the price tag. Why don't you try and trade it for some green lantern golden age goodness. They might be easier to flip if needed in the future and golden age tends to be more stable in pricing

[@karoshiimage5208]

This is so sick. Super old books but with beautiful grades

[@gearmonger8616]

This is amazing compared to how disappointed you were with grading a year ago.

[@Barada73]

What have I been dorking-out over? Well, I just got a copy of the 1985 4th printing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 and I'm pretty happy about it. My ultimate goal is to eventually be able to afford a 1st printing of that book; but for now the 4th printing will have to do.

[@MintHunterComics]

That works!!!!

[@charliedogg7683]

I'd think twice about selling any of these, it's only going to get harder to replace them in the future.

Comment 🚀🚀🚀that’s actually really impressive very difficult or expensive to achieve… well done …

[@christianblees5236]

James, as much as I love your videos and like you as a guy: I will never understand why people like you get that excited about such slabbed NM issues. I mean: You are talking about "white pages" and (in this particuar video) about a letter from Marv Wolfman inside - but you will never be able to see or read those!!! So what does it actually matter to you if the pages are white or there is such a letter inside? Interestingly for me personally the reader's letters from such Silver Age or Bronze Age issues are indeed always fun to read, particularly if they come from former fans who later worked as pros! IMHO people like CGC just ruined the fun of comic book collecting. I stick with raw issues which I can enjoy without having to worry about any even slighly damages!

[@Grand_complication]

I love carrots!

[@johnnydropkicks]

James, I agree with the title of this video. I do realize that CGC grades are not credible. 😊

[@MintHunterComics]

lol.

[@casino_comics]

I was asked about mine. How do you know it's the right book or grade?

[@MintHunterComics]

Huh?

[@MintHunterComics]

Because I know my books. I know a 9.6 candidate Green Lantern #68 because there's probably only a couple in the world left this nice haha

[@casino_comics]

@MintHunterComics that's now what I meant. I was asked about my books by an individual... He asked me how did i know that it was my book and not one cgc switched out. This cgc scam got everyone thinking.

[@CharlesThomas-vs8ir]

​@casino_comics did you buy already slabbed or raw and then submitted. Cause if you submitted it yourself I'm pretty sure you're good. Or just check the numbers. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@keithkovalic]

Some of your best videos are just you "Dorking out over your crap"! Never stop making them!

[@comiccollectibles]

The date stamp does not affect the grade.

[@MintHunterComics]

It does. It really does. I've submitted probably over 4,000 books. It absolutely does.

[@comiccollectibles]

@@MintHunterComics Hmmm, could he be right? I did go and look it up in "The Official CGC Guide to Grading Comics" (page 214). "Stamps are usually small and unobtrusive, and only prevent a comics from receiving a 9.9 or 10.0. If the stamp is large and obtrusive, covers important portions of the front cover, or has been applied multipe times, it can have an adverse effect on the grade, possibly as low as 8.0. Stamps applied to interior pages has little to no effect on grade." So, unless you are saying that your 9.8 was knocked out of a 9.9 because of a stamp, or the stamp was huge and blocked substantial portions of the art on the front cover, it really doesn't effect the grade. Nice GLs BTW.
