1961? That means when they first opened, they were selling copies of Fantastic Four #1 for cover price!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks so much. Love this idea, can you imagine snagging a Fantastic Four #1 for cover price back then? Talk about a steal!

[@PapasDino]

Been there many years ago and what a treat, glad you got to visit. I enjoy your get togethers with Richard and John on Bronze And Modern Gods, keep it up!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks for the support! @bronzeandmoderngods is such a great channel, their content is awesome and informative. It's always a priviledge and joy when I get chance to hang out with both Richard and John on their show. Love how we geek out on obscure books and get to share our respective stories, perspectives and knowledge.

[@thundergodd6086]

Thanks for the tour. Appreciate it.

[@StillOnly35c]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the tour, your support means a lot!

[@User8vfjhejf]

It's not a comic store, it's a collectibles store

[@StillOnly35c]

Yeah, you are right, there are collectibles, but they do have some cool comic books, both modern and vintage, so it still qualifies.

[@Moncomics]

Nice little video, David. Glad you had a chance to stop in and visit history whilst on the West coast of the states. Hope you are well, mate!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks Brandon, really appreciate the kind words! I had to make sure I popped in to record this historic store whilst there. Look forward to touching base again soon.

[@comictornado]

Wow, a really nice looking comic book shop. Love that guy in the trench coat and hat at the counter!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks so much, love your comment and I noticed him too. Suspect that trench coat guy is our resident superhero disguised as a regular customer!

[@TheSimpleverse]

would have thought the place was falling apart being the oldest lcs. Thanx for sharing mate, love shop tour videos!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks Si. Age is just a number it seems, this LCS has seen it all and is still going strong!

[@richieannarelli5714]

Store looks awesome more videos thanks😊

[@StillOnly35c]

Your support means a lot to me! I appreciate your feedback and based on the feedback I'll definitely create more content like this.

[@arthurtripp6922]

Got You beat back in 1959 Bethpage Farmers Market met Len Wein this place carried Comic books and Old Toys. Novels Collectibles First.time I saw the first.Superman Toy and a 1934 Four Color comicbook. Also met Bernie Bubnis and Ron Fradkin who created the 1964 Comicon.

[@StillOnly35c]

What an incredible experience! It must have been amazing to meet those legends in the comic book world.

[@SPac316]

I have been there a few times. It's a nice place. I lived in Washington state all my life.

[@StillOnly35c]

That's awesome and thanks for the comment. I always enjoy coming back to Seattle and Washington state, hopefully I'll be back again soon (perhaps this Summer even).

[@3weight]

Bought my first collectible there in the 70’s - Golden age Plastic Man #23, NM condition. $10. We always stopped here when in Seattle and the market.

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks, that's a fantastic find youtube.com/@3weight, $10 for a Golden age Plastic Man? Talk about a steal, you must have some serious luck on your side!

[@ninjatears]

Had no clue that was the oldest store when I visited? 😮 Was cool but way to crowded to see anything.

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us youtube.com/@ninjatears, appreciate the comment! Such a great store, but yes, it can be quite busy at times, especially weekends.

[@Yungcomics]

new to the channel. love this kind of content :)

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks for you support and kind words. Looks like you stumbled upon the right place, feel free to stick around for more awesome content to come.

[@johnedwards2051]

I've been there many times they really don't sell high grade stuff there

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I did look at the some of books and whilst they weren't particularly high grade, they did have a decent smattering of cool vintage books. A lot of people were coming in looking for books to fill there runs.

[@richieannarelli5714]

I don't know if anybody has told you if you had longer hair you'd be a resemblance of Steve Perry lead singer of Journey cool😊

[@StillOnly35c]

That's a huge compliment (I think 🤣), thank you so much! Steve Perry is an icon.

[@WhatIsOntheComicRack]

Great field trip video!! I need to do a field trip video sometime?!?

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks a bunch! Field trip videos are a must-do for sure.

[@brendakemp8308]

Been there many times. Love Pikes Market

[@StillOnly35c]

So glad you enjoyed it too! Thanks for sharing your experience. Any comic pickups of note from there in the past?

[@BrianLCS]

Thanks for the peek inside!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks www.youtube.com/@BrianLCS, glad you enjoyed the tour inside!

[@brianhiggins7204]

Hey I've been there! I walked in last time I was at Pike's place, Nice!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thanks so much. It's such a cool spot, right? Glad you got to experience it too!

[@clumsy_comics]

Nice quick video

[@StillOnly35c]

I appreciate your support!

[@davidmckinley5343]

Not really a comic book store anymore. It looks like a pop culture store that sells some comics.

[@StillOnly35c]

Very true David youtube.com/@davidmckinley5343, but I suppose every store has to pivot pop culture to be successful/stay in business. That said, there are still comics on sale, both new and vintage, so it still counts.

[@davidmckinley5343]

@@StillOnly35c I agree. Comic Stores would go out of business without the pop sales. The place did look really cool even though they didn't really have a lot of comics.

[@jerrythejitterbugcomicbook4098]

New sub here. Really enjoy comic book store tours. Thank you! Look forward to checking out new content! Let’s #growtogether my friend and stay tuned!

[@StillOnly35c]

Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad you enjoy the comic book store tours. Stay tuned for more exciting content!

[@LikeSubscribeFollow]

so cool... i am surprised that the oldest comic book store would be there. I would think it was New York or some place out east. Do you know if they buy collections? I posted a couple of videos of my collection I am looking to sell. Thanks, new subscriber 😊

[@StillOnly35c]

Thank you for subscribing and for sharing your excitement about the video and the store! From talking to the manager there on the day I visited I think they are still buying collections especially older books. As you can see from the video they have a decent selection of back issues. I'll also make sure to check out your videos to see your collection that you are selling - who knows you may have found a buyer.
