FINALLY A CON VIDEO WITH BOOKS GALORE!

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Lots of books for sure. Was fun to window shop.

[@GENOTALKSCOMICS]

Nice lil set of books and a good look at that show. There was a book you flipped past I just added to my want list. It was Incredible Hulk 124 with the Rhino. I have a couple Hulk issues with match-ups against Juggernaut and Rhino. I bag and board all my convention programs too. Especially since I started getting them signed years ago. Had to get creative for the larger ones when I didn't have enough to fit their size. Happy comic hunting!

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Thanks for all the comments and for watching. Hulk 124 is a great cover.

Thanks for the tour…from the Philippines

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Hello from Michigan! Appreciate you watching. Any comic shows in the Philippines?

[@troyevans6839]

Great raw finds 👍 Did you notice that House of Secrets #123 9.6 sold on eBay for $2K? A few weeks prior to that sale I fluke bought a 9.2raw for $300 😅 Don't think anyone is going to sell those cheaply for a good while.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

I don't understand the HOS 123 prices. A 9.4 sold for $1400 last week. I can't imagine those prices will hold. Good pickup on the 9.2.

[@troyevans6839]

I'd say the reason why it's popular is 1.) it's one of the most graphic covers of the bronze Age horror in comic format (excluding magazines) 2.) it's not a monotonous skull cover cliche. If I see another skull cover I may flip a table over 😓 But you're right. These prices probably won't hold in this bear market.

[@marcovendetti3373]

Hello, i was also there that day! Lots of cool comics for sure! I even bought some comics, but was sad to see how much some dealers were charging over FMV! I had a good time.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Glad you enjoyed it. Prices were frustrating for sure.

[@jasongabridge6901]

Good to see you there Rob! I think the NFL draft could have possibly been a factor too as far as the low crowd, there were a ton of people downtown at that time. I didn’t get any big books either, the booth I saw you at had a comico primer 9.6 slab that I was interested in and he wanted $3500!! What do you even say to that, it’s like double the fmv on a 9.8 😂. The bigger guy that was there with all the bigger keys had a Marvel Team Up #1, raw, that was maybe a 9.0, 9.2 at best. He wanted $400, I was like okay, guess I’ll shop for moderns today.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Hi Jay. Good point about the draft. Was really disheartening to see all the crazy prices. It's like we time warped back to 2021/22. 🤷‍♂️

[@josephbarbera9220]

I have been very careful buying back issues to avoid paying above FMV. I also cut back buying new releases because prices are getting high. Still great books out there to purchase! Just have to be more patient.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Patience is definitely one of the keys, but also looking in lots of different places. The deals are out there, but a little hard to find right now. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmayrend313]

Thanks for the video and coverage of the new Detroit Comic Show. I am in Ypsilanti, but did not make it to the show.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Thanks for watching. Are you going to MC3?

[@michaelmayrend313]

@@rhmidwestcomics No. I favor smaller shows and lower grade comics. I will do trades from my collection, but my budget does not really favor higher grade books for cash.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

​@@michaelmayrend313 I get it. 👍

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

You say "Ka-Zar" as if you're saying K-Mart. It's not K-Zar it's "Ku-Zar!" As in "Ku" but Ka-Zar! Nice pick ups and and I like your arcade games. 😅

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Appreciate the comments. I don't think anyone knows for sure the correct way to pronounce his name, as I hear many people say it both ways. I'm ok with either. Thanks for noticing my arcade games. I have a new one arriving in a couple months.

[@SKULLDERCOMICS]

I just found your comic book channel, i used to be a comicbook channel but i went away for awhile, thinking of getting back into it and being part of the community once more, if there's even a community to come back to. Ima sub you up and hope to see you on my channel if you ever get the chance 😊 i hope to start uploading soon if not next month.

[@rhmidwestcomics]

Welcome back! Appreciate you watching. Let me know when you drop your next video.

[@SKULLDERCOMICS]

@@rhmidwestcomics thank you so much and I will soon I hope
