That’s funny, you don’t sound like a very grumpy ol’ dad. I’m just joking of course, that’s so cool. That puts a smile on my face. Honestly, that is so sweet. We’re not all gonna be here forever. I guarantee she appreciates it too, and she’ll never forget her great personal times with her daddy. My father died like 20 years ago and I still think about him every day and I wish he was still here so we could hang out and tell stories and make each other laugh. I’m 45 years old now I guess when we get older, we think about stuff like that more often.

Sandman #50 signed by Gaiman, limited to 5000 with COA and a sketch of Gaiman by P. Craig Russell? I'd pay $100, let alone $50. I've been a Sandman fan since #1, my favourite issues are the ones in which Morpheus interacts with William Shakespeare. The role of women in the comics industry is huge, and hugely under-appreciated. There were some amazing female writers and artists working in the Golden Age.

The sticker price was $110 (Canadian) but the store was having a 1/2 price sale on all of their raw signed comics so I got it for $55 (about $40 US). I also got copy of Fantastic Four 232 that was signed by John Byrne for $15!

Love that tales of suspense 😀 Tales to Astonish 😲 and Tales of suspense have always been two Grest titles. That comic shop did look great. Where I live, they would never have that wall of comics like that display. There is one shop here with all the back issues in draws. Not displayed ! You have to ask them if they have certain issues your looking for, you Cannot go back there and look through them. So sad 😞 Loved this video, thanks 😊 for sharing it with all of us.

Awesome video. I think regarding some of the comments about prices, you are right on Mike. Folks need to remember, you can always make an offer, especially if you're buying a big book/big haul (or both) and the shop is willing to work with you. I know some have rules against haggling. In that case, you might want take your business elsewhere if you're that hung up on the prices. Also, New England is a higher cost of living (and generally more highly compensated) area - that can also make regional prices a little different. I just hit up the collectibles show at the Boxboro Regency this past weekend and managed to get a good chunk of change shaved off of my purchases. You lose nothing by asking!

Good afternoon Michael Great show as always. And I have to agree with you on comic pricing, -Guys stop complaining about the price of comics, the seller is doing his best, he has to buy the comic, offer a fair price to the seller, pay all his bills and have a littlle something left for the groceries. Imagine if you had to sell your collection, would you not expect the best possible price ? At the end of the day, it is your wallet that determines the price of comics.
