I Randomly Found a Car Full of Comic Books Outside an Antique Shop!

[@Dieselcity]

Newsstand spawn has solid value! Awesome $1 grab!

[@DarkseidComicsofficial]

was going to say that

[@detective29]

I'm Very happy for your son. Great pick up for him. You got a great deal on the books you picked up. Good cheap reading!

[@g-fandad7749]

GIJOE issue 126 was my first comic I ever bought and the series ever completed. Thanks for giving the series some luv

[@MJComix]

The spawn 1 in newsie as well! 🤯

[@billjackson-mk7fw]

Awesome your son got a great deal …the smile alone is worth it!

[@bobtrottier8178]

Walt's THOR runs been falling in my lap a lot lately, and I'm not complaining!! I just bought 90% of a guys collection last night and low and behold....THOR;!

[@shawnleonard3429]

That spawn 1 is a newsstand nice find

[@lanceowings9421]

Absolutely love your content

[@kristopherparker6871]

I agree with the cooment above about the spawn 1 newsstand. Def a great book to add to your trade pile.

[@Spirit_Comics]

You went right by that Marvel Premiere #55, bro!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Spirit_Comics doh, can’t catch em all!

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Cool print find on that late-era G I Joe!!Nice detective work...!!

[@thrashleyb7594]

That’s awesome that Jack found a good deal when I was playing magic I would give away quite a few cards just to get younger players to play. I think I got half of my sons friends to play magic when they was in high school.

[@jamesfoley2413]

Mike, you broke my heart today.... Yo Joe. I have every one.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Mike, vERY Interesting haul...!

[@basementcomics4u]

9.8 GI Joe 150 is very expensive, I don’t know if you noticed its a newsstand. That book is rare as hell. Probably $1000 or more in 9.8, even more with the sig

[@SteveFowlerFamily6]

Larry Hama is usually very accessible for signatures. Him being from New York, he'll probably be at a nearby show.

[@Supersizeshake]

I’m the one who brought up the late run G.I. Joe comic in the previous episode. That’s pretty cool you remembered the comments and kept an eye out for them.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Supersizeshake yes thank you, several people brought it up and I’m always very appreciative

[@felix-ve8jk]

Thoe 1xx Joe covers are really some of the best of the whole run.

[@chrismeder2376]

Great find on the Spawn 1 newsstand. Met Larry Hama a few years ago, really nice guy. Bought a Daredevil sketch from him.

[@Scott.B.Chapin]

Nice finds! I think that X-Men trade was the first published collection of the Dark Phoenix Saga

[@maverick7291]

Im a sucker for yellow covers. I blame daredevil.

[@ManhattanFlashComics]

What a cool sale to randomly find, and lots of great grabs here! thanks for sharing the video!

[@Matt_Likes_Comics]

You guys in America have so many places to go. We have so few places that are comic stores or flea markets in Canada.

[@gerardmensoif3774]

Europe is the worst regarding US comics....

[@njmdromanah122]

And then there's Asia where you can hardly find big key issues, But if you get lucky you find a low grade grail

[@jamesdunn5842]

I go pretty consistently to that market for comics 😂 place is alot of fun

[@TheGlock8]

$13 into 13 books is an amazing deal. Any dollar book depending on the condition is definitely worth the read and the appreciation of the art. Found a wolverine single issue called the man in the pit. By Jason Aaron. That’s amazing read!!!

[@Moncomics]

Great to see you in my backyard and finding comics at that. Howe Caverns is so cool and Cooperstown is just beautiful this time of year. Nice little stack of vacation pickups. I like that “dubious” Hellboy cameo and I think I want it now lol. Well done my friend

[@dephiance]

I love that X-Men TPB! My mom bought that for me when when it came out (back in '84, if I remember correctly) and I read it to death! The pages literally fell out. I don't know why I've never bothered to track down another copy! Great video!

[@davelevich3583]

That Spawn 1 is a Newstand! Great find!

[@Benji-ky2or]

Newsstand spawn is scarce congrats! Huge dollar pick up

[@wolverado1322]

Nice comic finds and great story about your kiddo getting a deal on those cards. You often use the word serendipitous, however, you have an active part in that by being out and about hunting for comics. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Amazed that SPAWN 1 and 2 were in $1 box...!

[@salmack8842]

Great selection of books Mike. I have Sleepwalker,Spawn,Superman in my collection.

[@littlemountaingardener1477]

Awesome finds, I also just picked up the same "Creepy Things" issue. There is something about that cover that got me too.

[@AucheysAdventures]

I need to go out hunting more often…you’re giving me a little bit of hope! Lol

[@AucheysAdventures]

I got Batman 201 from a old antique store/junk store when we went camping I guess you could say that was a similar experience and could be considered strange and unusual

[@Heroes_for_Hire_Comic_Club]

Spawn 1 newstand nice I need those gijoe comics lol gi joe comics are what got me into comics

[@numberoneappgames]

A signed book will always have value! especially if it's sentimental!

[@bobtrottier8178]

Found a bunch of my old stuff recently. AMAZING HEROES by the pile as well as THE COMIC READER and COMIC INTERVIEWS

[@maverick7291]

The only 90s new super heroes character i never bought for their first app/issue was slapstick.

[@obi_tom_kenobi]

Spawn #1 newsstand is a crazy find for a dollar

[@andreworr4307]

Not money wise but I really like the Charlton horror book,like all the books though and for a buck each that's great

[@raph-retro-comics]

Tons of great stuff there! Favorite by a mile is that Creepy Things Charlton book. Great cover, and very tough to find in nice shape, even if it's not worth much!

[@the4deadlyvenoms]

You found a NEWSSTAND of Spawn #1 for $1!!! Easily a $100 book! WOW! Salute!!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@the4deadlyvenoms yes, I neglected to mention that in the video, I didn’t realize the premium was THAT much higher over direct

[@mcalpinm]

Why would you spoil the video with this comment! 😂

[@dansxmencomics]

What a fun time for not just you, but the whole family!

[@calebleland8390]

That's so cool that Lil Lunch Money got such an awesome deal on those cards. He should be telling his friends to hunt for cards in Strange and unusual places. 😂😂 Pretty great haul, Mike. You can't go wrong with some classic Charlton horror books, and to find one with Mike Zeck artwork is fantastic.

[@maverick7291]

Funny i only knew about gi joe cartoons but not the comics only later. Found out many kids around me at the time were more into the comics than the cartoon but qe both collected the toys. Sorry about creatimg multiple comments. Felt that each topic tou mentioned deserved it own seperate comment lol.

[@bethanduke2566]

I was watching a channel called comic den, today video was about a comic community event, he also has a much older friend that has something more established . I think you would enjoy going to their style events but figure it's far away. 😊

[@scottsimon615]

Fantastic pickups, Mike! Howe Caverns is a great place too. Hope you had your jackets…

[@colossuscollector]

Oh man I gotta get the amazing heroes fanzine! The Omega Red part is awesome but it’s also a CIGAR cover! 🔥 thanks for showing me this Mike!

[@glennlittle124]

Great dollar finds!! So happy for your son to get such a deal. I use to play Magic with my son all the time when he was still in school. Will definitely check out that flea market next time I am in that area. I think there's an outdoor one close by also during the warmer months.

[@StillOnly25c]

Damn those Thor and Superman 😮

[@bradforddillman7671]

My favorite book is the Creepy Things. By a mile.

[@leeknoll8141]

When I’m completing a run, I don’t want a signed book, but you can’t beat $1!

[@jplosky]

that Spawn 1 is a newsstand, worth much more than the direct edition! Huge pick up for a buck!

[@MT-zd2qj]

Great story about the gentleman and your son.

[@amazingmurfinator6338]

Xmen 1 has a preview of onega red too. At least the gate fold cover. Not sure if that book predates #1

[@jcali2121]

Spawn 1 newsstand for a dollar!?! I’m jealous!!!

[@Rhavas]

Love these places - my family roll their eyes when they see me find these as they know I can't help myself. GI Joe Special Missions and GI Joe might be the first books I ever bought. If I was trying to put that run together, I wouldn't hold it against it as long as the sig was from someone who worked on the book.

[@maverick7291]

Great factoids about helloboy and next men. Also great haul!

[@Renegaderantscomics]

I'm glad you got to see upstate ny in its fall glory. Great pickups. Congrats on your win.

[@pablovargas8084]

I started reading the uncanny x men a bit ago, mainly because you always talk about how incredible it is. I just finished reading days of future past and it blew me away. Also dark phoenix saga was amazing, but the mutant x story plot is what amazed me the most. I have never heard anyone talk about it so when I read it I was incredibly surprise by it(it is my second favorite x men story so far, right behind days of future past). I want to read more x men stories, so besides uncanny xmen, what stories do you guys recommend?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@pablovargas8084 definitely read God Loves Man Kills if you haven’t already

[@donaldmiller9648]

Even though I had all the X-Men at that time, I picked up that X-Men gradebook back when published because covered an interesting period of characters. Don't have the issues now but have the tradebook. Remember sitting down and enjoying reading stories again back then...

[@PackRipperJohnni]

That GI Joe is a newsstand which makes it even more scarce 👍

[@Comiccomplter55]

Love the 90's

[@AdamHoutman-qj7fy]

GI Joe 150 is also a newsstand. That ups the value too. I think the autograph hurts it tho.

[@rftaitague]

Always love watching what you find out there. Congrats. Rudy from SanDiego

[@Comiccomplter55]

I think I told u that lol 1rst Hellboy

[@Trdjff9342]

I think the notion that a signature from anyone who worked on a book could reduce the value is insane. Purist or not, I feel that if one can't appreciate the added value a signature from someone who worked directly on the book provides, they can't really be that much of a comic fan.

[@stevedriskell59]

In regards to the GI Joe book that was signed. If you got it for a dollar? Then if the signature increases the value, wonderful, but if it decreases the value your dollar book could be worth $0.50. All in all you got at least 10 bucks worth of story out of it. Lol

[@greekhokie]

That spawn 1 is a newsstand you might want to get it cleaned pressed and graded because the newsstand is not common at all like the direct edition.

[@DoughnutJunkie]

That was. Awesome end story with your son.

[@batmanbill1]

Another score!✌🏼

[@jayogilvie8353]

Yo' Joe !!

[@the-third-kingdom-channel]

[@dbulls33]

Wow! Neat pick ups Mike! Especially Spawn, Marvel Age and the GI Joe's and all for a bick each! Sounfs like a good vendor!

[@billyrod1980]

I also recently picked up sleepwalker 1 for a buck. The Spawn book you got is also a newsstand so it has a little more value.

[@drspidey4739]

Man lots of cool books for $1. Yes, Marvel Premiere #55 for a buck as someone previously mentioned caught my eye. Everyone has different things that their eye catch. Discount from $70 to $1 for all the cards? Sweet deal for your son.

[@EddieFromTheBatcave]

The trade is sweet

[@BrianLCS]

Lots to do in Upstate NY. Sleepy Hollow at Halloween is fun. Great pick ups!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@BrianLCS we talked about going to Sleepy Hollow too but it was a bit further away. Instead we listened to the audio book recording on the way back!

[@BrianLCS]

@@lunchmoneycomics Awesome.

[@maverick7291]

X-men #1 special edition by jim has omega red sketch art inside in the back. I'm thinking that might be the one that technically makes it omega reds first cameo appearance. But it's all about popularity and concenus(of sorts) that makes something a first app or cameo app. Still cool comic you got!

[@TRSCOMICS]

Are you serious 😭 what a huge surprise!

[@lcancelliere1]

Where was the flea market?

[@Comiccomplter55]

How lucky u are

[@jon6309]

Sleepwalker reminders me of the Duros from Star Wars!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@jon6309 I can totally see that. A bit neimoidian too

[@jon6309]

@ ahh yes, I’m guessing you are a Star Wars fan knowing that species. I believe both Duros and Neimoidians are related and are offshoot species from one another. I would say it’s kind of like comparing a British person to an Australian.

[@thomasermmarino6788]

You didn't mention that the spawn 1 was a newsstand, that's significantly better

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@thomasermmarino6788 yeah I skipped over that but it’s definitely worth more

[@DarkseidComicsofficial]

That Joe 150 is a newsstand and they sell for 60+

[@jesselynch1928]

Body language. lol Yeah I have seen that. At an estate sale a guy was kneeling in front of 4 boxes of records. I started to bend down to. look at one of the boxes. He saw me and then hugged all 4 boxes not letting me in. I said to him. Really? And he growled at me. I moved on and went back later.

[@dakoitcave817]

Did Mike Mignola confirm that Next Men was indeed his character? Or was it just a crazy coincidence that a character drawn by Byrne and named HellBoy was the same character as Mignola intended?

[@charliedogg7683]

The guy before you made it clear with his body language that he wasn't letting you go through the boxes ahead of him? Try a polite "Excuse me" and if that doesn't work then start looking over his shoulder or go through the comics yourself that he has just been through. His sense of entitlement needs to be knocked down a few notches. Charlton's supernatural anthologies from the mid-70s are fun and it's always interesting to see the early work of artists who became popular later in their career. An obscured poster in the background of a panel does not rate as a character's first appearance for me: the character has to be doing something, interacting with other characters in some way and preferably one of them should mention that character's name. Amazing Heroes wasn't a fanzine, it was a professional magazine published by Fantagraphics Books and aimed at those for whom comics were a hobby, as opposed to Fantagraphics' The Comics Journal which is more a critically analytical publication. The X-Men trade would make a great addition to anyone's collection.

[@jy2486]

Spawn #1 for usd4,wow

[@Markus465]

Sorry to disagree with you, but I don't consider Darkhawk 45 as a "low print" book. There were two distributors in the 90's (Diamond & Capital City) and the closest number I could find both orders is Darkhawk 49. Between both distributors the orders came in at 25k. By comparison, Blackwulf 10, the last issue, only had orders of 15.4. Plus the fact that Ebay is LITTERED with copies of Darkhawk 45!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

@@Markus465 sure, but the point still stands that end-of-run books usually had lower print runs and it segued into the GI Joe explanation well

[@Markus465]

@@lunchmoneycomics LOL Of course! We all know that orders go down the longer a book continues. You can look at just about ANY book and find the same thing. My point is that all of you comic book KZbinrs just say, "low print run" with no context. You are giving the illusion that these are "rare" books. They are not. IMO.

[@kingvamp6664]

I got a new stand spawn copy I paid 30 for it no poster I’d say it’s a 7.0. Would’ve loved to have got it for a dollar. See Todd Buy Todd.
