I Just Bought a HUGE Collection of Comic Books... from a PAWN SHOP?! Great Deal, or Big Mistake?

[@DeadonDaveProductions]

YO thank you for coming into Pawn Nation! It was an absolute pleasure

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Thank YOU for the amazing deal! I’ll definitely stop in again sometime soon!

[@DeadonDaveProductions]

@@lunchmoneycomics I'm building a new collection as we speak

[@DeadonDaveProductions]

@@lunchmoneycomics Watching everything now yea you scored pretty well lol Thank you for the shoutout and I'm really happy you found some awesome stuff in there

[@ashkondadban5938]

Dave seems like a cool dude

[@RogueCylon]

Look forward to more Pawn Shop Dave deals.

[@ronnyjohnston6039]

😂 "I'm going to stop buying lots of comics." That's roughly the size of my collection. 😂 Awesome deal

[@ronnyjohnston6039]

80's-90's is most of my collection, going to read some of that Hulk and F4 this summer with my Son. I loved the struggle between Banner and the Hulk as they fought for control over mind and body.

[@tpjedi]

Man I want that collection, I love 80s - 90s books, what i grew up with, sucks living in New Zealand as a collector we don't have the population and availbility of books on this size, love your content keep up the awesome work!

[@TheAcidbath]

The Batman book was drawn by Jerry Robinson. Bob Kane didn't really draw too many Batman or Detectives comic. Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger were the main artists. Jerry Robinson created the Joker's distinctive looks. He is now credited as a Batman creator by DC. Good haul, especially since you do flea market sales. Great video.

[@Wowlexa]

Hey!!! So this is so COOL!!! My grampa illustrated those Popeye comics!!! ❤️❤️

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Wowlexa really?!

[@Wowlexa]

@ yes! George Wildman, absolutely amazing and talented man. He passed in 2016 sadly but we continue to keep his legacy alive. Him and my dad had a cartoon company as well and my Dad makes Christmas ornaments every year with his artwork and their original characters!!

[@CharlesA.Gentry]

Thank you for sharing, keep doing what you do!!!

[@RogueCylon]

I would love that Camelot 3000, just for the memories and being a fan of bolland.

[@BZackheim]

The Camelot 3000 story is excellent. Bolland art, I think. A huge majority of this collection appeared to be in great shape. Congrats!

[@DavidDelValle-di1us]

I agree..loved that story & Bolland art

[@arclight72]

Camelot 3000 was the first maxi-series as well as first Baxter paper format comics from DC. Great story and amazing Bolland art.

[@markvandervlist8967]

Camelot 3000 was such a great story line. Too bad that the last 2 issues took FOREVER to be released, respectively 6 and 9 month delays !

[@comicbookninja5268]

great story and art!

[@RogueCylon]

I’d be here for just this comment! I met Bolland several times in London, at the first Forbidden Planet on Denmark St. and at the first ever London ComicCon. Where he had his art for Camelot (wish I’d purchased it), he did a Judge Dredd sketch for me in a Titan TPB 1st Edition. I loved his artwork growing up.

[@rohn-zc5sx]

Wow $280 for all of them now that's a good deal especially the X-Men comics and Batman that's awesome Mike 💯😎

[@matthewcarroll5559]

I might be the only person in the world who absolutely loved 90s comics!!!!

[@angelvalle9963]

I collect 90s newsstands 💪

[@chrishmiller4534]

As a 90’s teen I cant totally stick up for all the gimmick covers, “extreme” ism and endless X and Image books. That said the indie scene in that decade hadn’t been matched since the 70’s and hasn’t since then.

[@SadickArauz]

Nah bro I love 90’s comics beautiful art style, I wasn’t even born til 2007 but I love 80’s and 90’s comcis

[@felix-ve8jk]

Got into comics in 1990 so certainly a bit of nostalgia for me. Some great art. But yeah the really underground indie stuff is the only great thing about the 90s.

[@RogueCylon]

Loved them. Just sucks that they overdid the print runs and variants.

[@VeronikeFoyness]

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@_vixen_4504]

"open them up and flip through, and see that magic pop off the pages" Litterally 😅. Great haul as always and it was just what i needed when opening up a package of comic books.

[@JonathanNg4]

You were right on, that Whalers jersey was the best part of your deal. One of the best sports team logos ever. Nice finds!

[@georgedavis9975]

The 11 year old you described resides in all of us. Great purchase Mike.loved one of these things is not like the other 😂.Congrats

[@AnthonyOldhandGarcia]

At 9:55, see if you can spot Ray Finkle in the team picture? Lol 😆. Very nice collections there, saw a couple of comics i have in my personal collection and some i used to have growing up in the early '90s. That pawn shop in Connecticut, is cool to have comics there unlike the pawn shops here in NYC where i was told they don't deal with comic books at all which is unfortunate. That golden age Batman Detective Comics stands out the most to me out of the bunch because of it's rich history and condition it's in, which says alot about how fortunate it is to be a comicbook collector. Not only to enjoy the hobby but to appreciate it especially when it's a raw comicbook to be read other than it being slabbed and encased, sure to preserve the book in it's entirely, but then again how else one comicbook collector can even enjoy to hold such a raw book like a golden age comic to actually experience it? Don't slab it but display it raw nicely away from sunlight to where it can be decently preserved in a way it can be appreciated. Cool review.

[@RidaEaken]

Cool series! Keep them coming

[@dansxmencomics]

How exciting! Let’s make some room for some more books! ❤

[@wolverado1322]

Great purchase! I agree that going through the collection is fun…a great time to appreciate each book.

[@robsteiskal8791]

I loved the update Mike. I've been a big fan of the Valiant universe. Thanks for giving them a little love. I thought the characters were great. You ended up with a great deal. I agree on purchasing a collection, there is a thrill and excitement of the possibilities. Similar to opening up a pack of cards too.

[@rftaitague]

The ability to resist such a purchase would elude me 😂 well done Mike

[@ComicSnags]

Loved Camelot 3000! One of my favorite maxi-series of all time. Read it when you get the chance 😂

[@johnbigdaddyross2158]

Brian Bolland art too!

[@1973canman]

Mike. I am a subscriber and watch all your videos. When I was 20/21, I was a comic bookstore junkie. I worked @ Burger King in Eustis, FL. and the comic book store was across the street. I mention this because I am a huge Miami Dolphins fan, and those Dolphins things are really cool. Keep up the good work on your videos.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Lots of great Books great deal. Really Love those Walt Simonson Thors, They are amazing reads best Thor run for me

[@GrumpyColoradoDad]

I think I am more envious of the Whalers jersey. Growing up in Connecticut they were the only pro team we had.

[@matthewskillo8577]

How many NHL teams do you want in a state that's only slightly larger than 2 or 3 rinks lol.

[@newyardleysinclair9960]

Think they meant the only pro sports team ​@@matthewskillo8577

[@JMChick47]

That Detective comic was worth the price of the entire collection. Grate purchase!

[@rogerfleming1782]

Very nice. And you made a connection. Definitely worth the time and money

[@MarcSpectorComics]

That's awesome to see that many comic books in a pawn shop. I've never seen comic books at a pawn shop before and you came out with a whalers Jersey. Fantastic finds. Mike

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Some of my best finds were at pawn shops. Great stuff.

[@detective29]

Great pickup! Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. My favorite book ( like its any surprise with my avatar) is the detective comic you picked up. Look forward to the next video!

[@dougbotkin8553]

Wow, what a great deal!! You definitely came out on top, man! Great video, as usual!

[@dbulls33]

What a great comic book collection and haul! Congrats man! Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!

Great deal and great video! 39:35 Totally relatable, man...

[@Scruffy_comic69]

Hey man, sweet pick up I was wondering about that Miami Dolphins team photo is Ray Finkel in it

[@ChrisPBousquet]

The Disney Exxon comic was actually given out at Epcot at the old Universe of Energy pavilion. I still have a few somewhere. Great video!

[@raph-retro-comics]

Those little mini comics were published by Gold Key/Western Publishing. They're listed in the Overstreet Price guide in the 'Promotional' Section under 'Dan Curtis Giveaways'. They're reprints, but they're pretty cool. Great haul, a lot of interesting stuff! As a Maple Leaf fan, I will try not to hold it against being a Bruin Fan. It appears the Leafs are going to lose to them AGAIN. Sigh.

[@ToriShyrar]

Wow, fantastic video. Thanks a lot!

[@Juggernauts6312]

Awesome Lunch money! I recently bought a large collection of comics myself. Been selling them off and keepng the good stuff. Great buy!

[@BrokeBoyComics]

Awesome video! Glad I finally got around to watching, so many great books! I wouldn’t know what to do with that many books or where to put them.

[@the.stin06]

Joe Jusko is my alltime favorite artist. Love his fantasy style

[@jeffhatcher9931]

great video as always! and that Whalers jersey is AMAZING!!!

[@joe3019772008]

epic haul, Mike. congrats on that whole collection, bro. congrats on reaching over 12K subs now.

[@johnsaris5736]

Those 100 page DC books came out during Covid. They were available at places like Walmart. Once Covid settled down I was able to get a few from my LCS. Great fun books. Tons of titles!

[@l.greenemachine66]

I'm still looking for my 1st collection to buy. Would love to get a good deal like yours. Congratulations 😊

[@calebleland8390]

Great lot of books, but that Golden Age Detective? Oh, yessir! Hope you had a great Free Comic Book Day!

[@GianaTasnim]

Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁

[@stevewhite4533]

Kool grab, I love those Grimm's Ghost Stories mini comics, that whole run is my guilty pleasure 🎉

[@bradschubert775]

What a fantastic deal!!!! Then the GA book to boot!!!! You should let Jerry the Jitterbug work on that. Those Marvel team ups looked great! I'm working on a run of those and the Marvel Two in One. Again, Fantastic find, so happy for you!!!!!

[@josephbarbera9220]

Nice! That long box of X-men comics alone makes the haul worth it and to top it off, you have a Golden Age Detective Comics! 👏👍

[@bostonacexx2628]

Amazing deal!! Nice pick up! Also, as a life long Bruins fan, I love the old Whalers jerseys and am envious! that playboy issue... priced from 20.00 all the way up to over 4k!!!!

[@TheIncredibleCJ]

I should take a drive there sometime. I don’t think it’s too bad of a drive from me over in upstate NY. Nice pickups, Mike!

[@maverick7291]

Nice whalers jersey. Even nicer purchase!

[@jesselynch1928]

Anti Hero pile. Love it. Great jersey. That signed book. Wondering if you could cut off the front cover and frame it. It might make a great gift for one of your friends or something to hang on your wall if you have room. Those small comics are cool. People love horror comics and these are super cool. I think from 60s or 70s. Definitely something to bring to a show and put out for $5 each. I think it would make people stop and look at your table or both. I love Dead On Dave. I have now subscribed to him. If I am ever out there I will stop at his store. He seems like a nice guy. Omg just got to the point in your video with the wedding couple. Take it as a wedding gift. I could see that coming. Kudos to you for that. DC war. They sell pretty good these days at the antique mall especially the Sgt Rock ones. Great video Mike. I love miss Tree. Private eye stuff. She kicks butt. Mike check out the Batman vs the FBI book. One of my favorites. And the golden age Batman. That will look good on your wall. Great video

[@DeadonDaveProductions]

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I love you too!!!

[@DavidDelValle-di1us]

Yes I agree about feeling like a kid again..happy for you

[@YardsalesDreams]

I’ve learned so much about what you bought. It will help me in sorting what I’ve got. Thanks

[@jeffharris4593]

Pretty awesome. I think you got a great price. Comics are so much fun.

[@MelaniaUdinese]

Super helpful, totally worth watching

[@tran4of3]

Amazing get! I'm not a Collector-Buyer, but I would have picked that deal up in a heartbeat, even without that last Batman treasure! Camelot 3000 is fun, I'm starting to appreciate the old Valiants, nice Shazams, nice cards, just lots of good stuff! Kudos!

[@jlozada256]

Nice grab! I have been enjoying the channel. Makes me want to get back into the hunt.

[@lwyatt82]

Was surprised to hear you haven't read Miller's Man without Fear. You need to put that on your to do list.

[@kieronball8962]

What a great comic book deal. It might be worth doing a little research on those early Valiant Comics, as certain key issues still command high prices.

[@soul.alone.8745]

Wow. I had that Mickey & Goofy EXXON comic. It was handed out at the Universe of Energy at Epcot Center, a pavilion in the eastern half of Future World. It took you on a ride through a prehistoric world, with animatronic dinosaurs. People still recall the smell of the ozone, and the mist. You just took me back to the very late 1980s/early 90s!

[@spaceferretcollectibles]

Congrats! Dave Steven’s did some work on a few of the Crossfire books. Check to see if you have the Elvis cover! Great pickups 👍🏻

[@lvdctrcntry]

Nice addition and a great price to add to your collection. I’m sorta new to your channel and have yet to hear you mention Wizard magazine. I was curious did you read that magazine and what your thoughts on it is. Keep putting out awesome videos. Blessings to you and your family

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Absolutely loved Wizard as a kid, though I don’t really seek them out now

[@HTXVintageVibes]

Lived and died by my inquest magazines. Wizards’s was a close second for me😂

[@michaelbernstein9442]

Great video, that looked like fun, u got a great deal

[@matthewskillo8577]

wow on that price! Those are the types of deals that can get someone up and running flipping books on ebay or whatever. That jersey alone prob retails for $40 or $50! Great find! I'm sure it'll work out well for you!

[@richardvieth2094]

I bought a similar collection when I first got back into comics. It really is the nostalgia that sucks you in, isn't it? I told myself when I bought that collection I was going to sell some of the books to recover some of my loss. Long story short.... I've sold nothing lol. Great find!

[@delonanderson7701]

WOW!!what awesome pickups bro

[@Loscomicjourney]

Great pick up Mike. Getting to fill in a lot of X-Men books. Some nice minor keys. Cool golden age Batman book. My favorite was the Static, awesome character. I loved the show and I have been trying to collect more people of color characters. That book was on my radar but the price spiked a little. I think it's come back down a little so maybe I'll look into it again. Smart not to haggle on price for a 1st transaction. This may be the start of a new plug. 👊🏼

[@michaelmayrend313]

I believe the thin black Spider-Man reprint books were included with the models and statues.

[@numberoneappgames]

39:49 is so true. I share that with video games. :) You got a good deal!

Ok. Now I remember where I saw those “Dan Curtis Giveaway” books. They weren’t “giveaways” they were in vending machines when I was a kid living in Ohio. One of the treats my mother would give us if we were good shopping in K-Mart was something out of the vending machines on your way out of the store. I collected mostly the small football helmets out of those machines. Still have them too!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Thanks Jeff! They are super cool!

[@geraldpowell4403]

The small comics where put in a vending machine in a globe two inch container with a pop off lid. Remember those in the vending machines in the 1970s.

[@SideQuestComicsChat]

Mike, you got to read that Camelot 3000! I had the Trade of that as a kid and just got the full run in single issues. Absolutely loved the story and art back then. I think the Arthurian theme is what drew me in. I'm sure you like it.
