Im a veteran comic book guru..60 years old and collected comics most of my life from the age of 4 years old.If you have 700 books and sold them all for $10.00 each..your turning $1,000 into $7,000 easily. The early Avengers alone are worth well more than $10 each.The books at best are mostly good condition..but you only paid $1.43 for each book.I rarely find collections such as this in such quanity,but I have found usually collections with 100 books and paid only $50.00 for the entire stack.There is a lot of money in comic books and the value holds itself unlike ball cards and other collectables.The cuts on the corners of some of the books is the result of companies picking up books from retailers and replacing issues with new books each bi-weekly period or each month.Usually these books are taken back to the magazine wholesale companies and piled in recycle loads.Someone snatched these books up for themselves before that happened apparently and got circulated in society.I loved watching this video..I never tire of old comic books and I never will..Thanks for this

[@comixof2morrow]

@@PickersWarehouseTV ,I get it...but how likely is it that he's gonna come up with another great lot? LoL, I'm not at all trying to be negative or rude...If it was me though, and someone just decided to offer double my asking price I would have said no and apologized for wasting your time and gave you some gas money and researched those books and and sold them for close to value and on the flip side,you could have just paid the 500 and turned around and sold what you didn't want or need for PC and made your money back plus some ..if you slab them,even at a low grade,you'd make a killing. CgC and CBCS would love to grade and slab those. Quadruple or more the value when slabbed.

Great video man! Liked, commented and subscribed! Thanks for sharing!

[@briandobbelaere3918]

The missing corners are probably an indication of a remaindered copy. Usually they cut the title off, rather than rip of the entire cover, to send back to the distributorfor refund. Here, they probably just reported it as destroyed, cut the corner, and sold them for a nickel.

[@certainly2509]

The original owner of the books must have owned a book store/comic shop judging from all those duplicates many with prices on them.Also get the sense someone cherry picked the best ones e.g. no ASM in the lot. DD 1, SS 1 missing but 2 was there, etc ...still great great find!

[@reprintranch]

Dang, that was a crazy lotta Silver Age goodness. Here's my take on the "extra $500" debate that's going on in the comments -- I would've offered to pay the guy the $500 he asked and then offered him an extra $50 or $100 "for your time, effort and expenses." (By the time I was ready to hand over the cash, I would have already asked him a few questions about when, where and how he acquired the comics, so I'd have some notion how much trouble he went through.) As a parting thought, I would've asked the guy to keep me in mind if he ever gets his hands on other comic-related material. I would definitely not have offered anything over the asking price under these circumstances (buying from stranger who claims to have found the comics in someone's attic, no time to examine every comic, obvious prevalence of low-grade books). My reasoning for this approach: * It's cheaper. * As other have pointed out, offering double the seller's asking price could have spurred him to re-think the whole idea of selling the collection to you. * It sets a precedent you can live with -- paying a 10% or 20% "time, effort, expense" fee is something you can afford to do again, if this guy ever calls you again offering something you want to purchase. On the other hand, setting a precedent for "paying double the asking price" may complicate your price negotiations in the future. * I think it's a bad idea to ask a seller to promise to contact you about all future comic finds. He might make the promise in bad faith (ie. not planning to keep it), then use the promise as a bargaining chip with other potential buyers -- as in, "I promised this other guy I'd offer everything to him first, but if you meet my price *right now* I might forget about that little promise...." He also might end up resenting you if he wants to sell comics to someone else but feels obliged to contact you first, ie. he keeps the promise but asks for a high price to "punish" you for the exclusivity deal. Instead, I'd just ask the seller to "keep me in mind," which is really non-committal. * I don't know anything about the seller and can't assess him. But, as a general proposition, if a comic-book seller is a shady character -- like, he actually stole those comics, or got them from someone who did -- the fact that you happily part with an extra $500 cash might motivate him to set you up for a robbery or other type of rip-off, on the assumption that you have easy access to lots more cash. My two cents. Not trying to rain on your parade, just sharing my opinion. Thanks again, and congratulations. :)

[@PickersWarehouseTV]

Definitely. In hindsight I do regret the way I went about it. I got too excited

[@slc2466]

@@PickersWarehouseTV Relevant points, but what you did was nice and honest, and it's hard to put a price on the goodwill you created (I think a lot of companies overlook generating goodwill as a major factor when building company assets).

[@audiophileman7047]

Really cool video, congratulations on the find! It's good that you doubled the asking price. I wouldn't listen to people who say you should have just given him what he wanted. Where you run into potential difficulty is when the seller doesn't have a price and asks you to make an offer. If you know that they're pretty valuable, how do you remain honest and offer him way more. I guess that you could offer half of what you think they are worth. That would be pretty fair for the time, effort, and risk you take when trying to sell them later.

There's a couple of Brave and the Bold #59s you glossed over in there...(Yellow cover with Batman and Green Lantern on opposite sides of each other fighting the 'Time Commander'). Anyway, that's the first ever Batman 'team-up' story in a comic series and would prove to be so successful that the series would change into an exclusive Batman 'team-up' book only 8 issues later. In short, that's a key issue

Loved the haul but no ASM! I felt you were exceedingly generous to double the payment due to poor condition and no ASM. Many books were also cartoon characters.

I enjoyed watching you check out those comics but I think you might have over paid if you spent $1000, I could be wrong tho, never know if there’s a gem in there. Even if they are chewed up and written all over I believe every comic is worth saving and commend you for saving what I’m pretty sure a lot of others would have condemned to the garbage. I am curious to know if you made your money back or made money after checking out what they are worth in those atrocious conditions. Not that you should ever sell a comic.😄 You should definitely make a video after you find a haul like that to show other comic collectors the benefit of buying and saving comics and what they could be worth if properly taken care of. Keep doing what you’re doing buddy. Thanks for sharing!😄
