Congratulations dude! New shop is on point, so is that leather chair! I bet that shop smells of rich mahogany and the sweet decay of expensive paper! Keep rockin dude!

[@MintHunterComics]

Dude this shop has all the smells. Plus old paper. If you're ever in the area, we'll rock out

[@derekneill6180]

I was literally going to say these books look familiar from Bry’s site 😂

[@ottebya]

hope you got some good security setup at that antique shop, looks a bit questionable having THAT MUCH high priced stuff just hangin around loose

[@matthewinman4376]

There are definitely cameras in the room and throughout the shop. It was like being in a Rockwell video because while I was there "I always feeeel like....somebody's WAAATCHING MEEEEE". LOL. That and you would have to pilfer a book and then walk through the maze of hallways to get to the front door to exit, so you will be walking right past the owners. I am sure there is an emergency exit but if you try that malarkey, I am sure an alarm will start blaring. Still though, I was most nervous just watching him put those books on the wall and then the ones next to it would sway and lean against the string holding them up. :D

[@MintHunterComics]

Camera's in every corner, more cameras from the owners everywhere as well, sealed windows, additional cameras on every exterior side of the building oh and it's RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE LIBRARY AND RIGHT NEAR THE POLICE STATION - we're good haha

[@KeithODonnell-gc2zm]

Looks great! Only it was closer to me. Btw where did you get that Batman shirt?

[@uglyewok6715]

Police won’t care about someone stealing comic books… they won’t even prosecute shoplifters anymore…

[@johnnydropkicks]

@@matthewinman4376 Nice Rockwell reference! 👍

[@Lithograph_Comics]

Bry is one of the best out there. I've bought from him many times from the start of his shop up until literally a few days ago. Very cool to see you expand your shop with such great offerings!

[@WitchKing73]

My grandma likes your curtains. Hahaha....just ball bustin'. Congrats on seein' through with a dream, which I would never laugh at.

[@rammisalami]

Doing big things!! Glad to see you expanding during such tough times! Goes to show you can always make the dream come true if you’re willing to put the work in! You are actually inspiring Mister J! Gotta get my butt down there.

[@BrokeBoyComics]

Congrats on the upgraded shop! It looks awesome I hope to take a trip down there one day!🎉🎉

[@johncribbs9472]

New set-up looks great. After all that hard work, it's cool to watch the fun part: putting up some great books!

Cool to see the comic room. Congrats on the move and best of luck to you!

[@waltercahill1942]

Happy to hear you've got your shop fully set up! My mom lives in Newton, NJ and my brother lives in Stanhope. Both are in Northern NJ. But I will definitely make a trip down to your area just to visit your comic shop and buy some good stuff.

[@MintHunterComics]

Oh wow! sounds great!!!!

Dude I'm so excited for you James! I know youll knock it out of the park! (Im in TN wish I was closer to visit you in Bon Jovi land! Haha) Also still trying to win one of your Captain Carrots one day!😂

[@madmanelsd123]

Oh man, i think the comic book craze is dead. Good fucking luck

[@wutango36o]

Dead based on what? Comics sell all day every day on all kinds of selling platforms. Comic shows are packed around the country. So your "thinking" is pretty inaccurate.

[@pillar81]

Your (sorta) comic shop is looking good.

[@danielvargas5946]

Nice shop. Congratulations and good luck.

[@LXA2008]

Bry should’ve put this stuff in his mystery boxes instead of those Venom 25’s lol

[@user-bi9fo3sx6l]

Great job as always James, love the set-up. Wishing you the very best of luck.😅

[@raph-retro-comics]

Congratulations on the new set-up! Looks great, and you've got some incredible books there to start!

Great shop and I hope to hit it up someday, but it’s a long haul from Germany, my friend. I would expect some coffee time with the owner too! ☕️

[@mauricedevereaux6573]

Rick Morgan of Immaculate Comics youtube channel, sells UV protection sheets for slabs on his website. Might be worth looking into for peace of mind for your displayed slabs.

[@ArsenalFTW]

i been going to the same LCS ever since getting into comics and just the other week i found my way into a new comic shop and OH MY GOD. Never seen so many good old books in person.

[@MintHunterComics]

It's good to expand horizons!

[@gregoryliedtka7510]

Im also very jealous on that Strange vol2 #4. It is an epic cover dude​@MintHunterComics

[@Quasi_Terrible]

I hate lighting, nobody told me that when I got into collecting comic books that I would eventually start to see every light source as a potential Nemesis that I will still have to find a way to work with, it's always infuriating.

[@MintHunterComics]

Oh it's a whole thing! even when you do everything right you STILL have to rotate books on the wall, and not keep things on there for more than half a year!

[@tibofinds3726]

Kalen's collectibles sells UV protected slabbed comic wall holders through his whatnot store. He maybe able to hook you up with a bulk order. Will be good for your higher value books. Congrats on expanding, you are just a touch far from Brooklyn to be a casual visit, but I will try to make it out over the summer.

[@papamoose13]

Congrats man !! I love the new Comic Book wall, and I'm sure it will boost sales for you !! I don't know who the cameraman was , but his heavy breathing was distracting for sure.

[@James.Sunderland]

Are you afraid of reholdering? If it bumps down a grade, just cause cgc feels like it would be scary for me. I've never done that. Epic vid!

[@MintHunterComics]

I’m more terrified of the reholdering return times 😂

[@charlesjohnson3287]

Man I need to make a trip up to New Jersey! Shout out to Gem Mint!

[@MintHunterComics]

Gem for the statues and Bry for some new slabs! love those dudes!

[@jimbomba4365]

Just for a mental exercise, I looked up the price of plane tickets to Trenton (the closest airport to Pennington), and shockingly there isn't a single airline that does non-stop flights there. Every one has between a 3 - 5 hour layover in Tampa or Orlando, so I'd be looking at an 11 - 12 hour travel time just to go one way!?! Taking a bus is just as long and twice as expensive as a plane ticket. Almost makes we want to drive the 7 hour trip myself. Almost. ; )

[@ddougherty8266]

Super-nice and neat and organized. Great job. How will your prices on the slabs be displayed?

[@MintHunterComics]

Yessir!

[@seanwelch71]

Congrats! It looks like you've created a true destination book store. Good for you! Will you be shipping from that location? I'm in Madison, WI.

[@MintHunterComics]

That's the plan!

[@davidalicea3203]

Great show ! how do you comics? I you buy them and say oh these could be 9, 9.6 etc. what are you looking for ? comparing a 9.6 to 5.0, is there anyone in the NY area that clean and presses comics? keep up the good work!

[@tensixtythreecomics]

Congrats! Looks great! Let me know if you expand to Canada! Lol

[@MintHunterComics]

I ship all over!

Is the camera man running on a treadmill? Breathing is hilarious

[@MintHunterComics]

Hahahaha I'm sending this to him lololol

[@buraddorun3043]

Your cameraman sure was breathing hard.

[@anthonybearden9023]

Where did you get the “Key Comic” stickers?

[@comicfanagain8405]

Bro, do not re-slab those old cases. The old cases are a massive selling point, esp now in the era of over inflated grades from CGC. Ppl see those grades and they know for a fact that not only is that the real grade but they have a massive chance of a grade hike just by cracking and resending it back in.

[@MintHunterComics]

You may be right

[@MintHunterComics]

BUTTTTT the cert number remains the same when you reholder, there’s just too many qualities in the newer slabs that help it

[@Socrates1973]

What’s the rack system on the wall? Home Depot? Amazon?

[@MintHunterComics]

ULINE it's the same wall you see at concerts where they sell shirts merch and stuff

[@Chriswilliamsyoutube]

9.8 with Canadian price tag, is that really something that matters?

[@matthewinman4376]

How much bigger is the room compared to your last room? My only issue with the old room was trying to lean over all the slabs to reach the back of the long boxes to see if what I was looking for was there. Also, are you going to have all your really cheap slabs all stacked to one side, or do you have to dig down to the bottom of a stack to find the cheap treasures? :D

[@MintHunterComics]

3x the size, everything rebagged and double boarded, everything lowered in price, etc hahaha

[@RecipeHound]

Are you putting those slabs on your ebay ?

[@MintHunterComics]

I have claim sale inventory, eBay inventory, and antique shop inventory, that being said if you EVER see anything you want just reach out on my Instagram!

[@leeniren3706]

Nice pick ups how much did you pay?

[@bobbybigfoot1163]

I couldn’t do it. I’m sorry. Those comics will get dropped and messed up so badly. And how many will be stolen. I don’t know how you had the guts to do this.

[@thundergodd6086]

Re-slabing a 9.8 is NOT a smart move. It can easily come back as a 9.6 and game over.

[@MintHunterComics]

NOW it is. They used to just reholdering but now they regrade everything after the scandal earlier this year

[@thundergodd6086]

@@MintHunterComics Which is exactly why you shouldn't consider re-holdering a 9.8

[@mattjvictory]

Solid video, but dude, why are you donating your money to CGC? Are you going to reholder in a few years when a new label comes out and continue to do that every 5-10 for each new label? CGC knows that trick is a suckers bet to continue printing money.
