Is Your Comic Collection Good Enough?

[@ThingComics]

I love comics and love collecting, I can't match grail stuff and haul stuff that most of the other collectors do..And some of the reason for that is my place of residence but mostly because I want to collect the stuff I like... I don't mind buying new stuff if it is something that interests me and for the big ones I am fine with lower grades, and I mainly want to read my stuff so it is mostly collected ones(cheaper/easier), because I always wanna the whole run 😊😊 Great video and awesome subject that you have done it my friend 😊😊

[@ConlinsComics]

@ThingComics You are doing it the right way my friend. While I've always enjoyed comics, it wasn't really until covid that I bought my first graded comic. Even then, I was buying popular books that I saw breaking records each week and got swept up in it all. Now, like you, I'm taking my time getting the books I really love 👊💪

[@ThingComics]

@@ConlinsComics And I agree with you that it is easy to be swept with the hype when watching other collectors but if you are with this hobby for the long haul, you will get the books that you like cheaper down the road 😊 Like me with my Marvel Premiere #28.. And it is good to be on the frontier with some of the unnamed books that will blow up after the hype begins with the coming show 🤣😅👏 Bit cryptic, I know but I think that it is a good thing at this point 👏😊🤣😅

I feel fortunate that I hone in on books that are mostly under the radar, nothing crazy expensive. I appreciate old, culturally significant books that are expensive, but have no desire to own them. I don’t buy anything older than I am. And I love finding artists who are under appreciated and collecting their stuff!

[@ConlinsComics]

@seanmitchell8151 Starting out when I was really getting into the hobby, I wish I'd done that more. I definitely got caught up in the covid era hype, but have since honed in on what I want to collect that makes me happy. As you said, finding particular artists you love is especially rewarding!

[@ThingComics]

@@emilycharuhas3680 take your time and every once in awhile take look what you really enjoy... Collection grows in a blink of the eye ,just enjoy the ride 🔥😊

[@BrokeBoyComics]

Great video, I have definitely had those thoughts about my collection but to your point we can only do so much in each of our situations. I just can’t wait to keep growing as a collector and as a part of this community!

[@ConlinsComics]

@@BrokeBoyComics Well said. That's specifically why I can't wait to hit some Cons this year and meet more of the community in person! Fuels the love and passion

[@joshscomics01]

Great video. I always stick to collecting what I love. Never try to complete with everyone. Like you said there is always a bigger fish lol.

[@ConlinsComics]

@joshscomics01 Exactly. And over time, you start to evolve and become a bigger fish yourself as time goes on. Look at the books you acquired in 2024. I bet when you first started, you never thought you'd own those books in such great grades! Just a shame it has to be expensive lol

[@casino_comics]

i buy the book not the grade. a 2.0 is just a good as a 9.8 to me. i use to feel that way until i got my DD #1.

[@ConlinsComics]

@casino_comics A book like DD #1 is always amazing in any grade! When it comes to collecting and condition, I was also that one weird 5 year old who kept some of his hot wheels in the box lol might explain some of my collecting habits now

[@casino_comics]

@@ConlinsComics my brother did that too.

[@Bel_Izeard]

Well said.

@@Bel_Izeard Thank you!

I spend way too much weekly only buy 1 or 2 dollar Facebook bids

[@ConlinsComics]

@Comiccomplter55 I started to run into that with claim sales. I wasn't always spending a lot, but it was slowly adding up week after week until it was taking away from my bigger goals
