Local Pawn Shop called w/ New Comic Book Collection!!!

I got a call from a local pawn shop. They told me they had just taken in a box of comic books. They kept it behind the desk until I got there, so I would be the first to look through it. I was pleasantly surprised with what was in there and the best part about it was the price. They only charged me $3 for my choice of comics. I think that is a great deal for what I got, but you can help be the judge of that!

Hey, hey bro, it’s great to catch a new video! That’s a great way to potentially get first dibs on new selections. 👍🏾😀

I picked up my Amazing Spider-Man 300 from a pawn shop for just $1! It was mixed in with a bunch of other comics, and was even unbagged 😮. I rescued it and probably another 200+ comics over the course of a few weeks on my lunch break a few years ago. My favorite pick up story by far. I need to stop in there again, so thanks for the reminder 😉.

That is a score. My buddy Theology Geek got a Batman adventures 12 from this same shop for .50 I think years ago.

Great pick ups! Love those detective comics ❤

[@WhatIsOntheComicRack]

Well well well. Fancy see you here Mr. Obito.

[@gnayr1305]

Good finds. We sell most of the Detective Comics books for $3 to $8, depending on condition. And the Eternals, especially the keys, are still worth much more than $3. Way to build that relationship. No Pawn Shops in this area have comic books, that I’m aware of.

Nice pickups!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

It is a good idea to put out the word with pawn shops that you buy collections.

[@bradforddillman7671]

Would have liked to seen the Charltons. Especially if they were horror

[@leeniren3706]

I think the eternal books alone makes us a great pick up. I agree. I enjoyed the turn off the movie and it has some of the most amazing Ciment photography that I have seen on film.

[@raleighcomicbookcollector]

Neat books... relationships matter (as you know working in sales).

[@WhatIsOntheComicRack]

I picked the entire run of the Eternals in the early 90's for 30 cents each because I love Jack Kirby art.

[@Dewfanatic]

I haven't hunted at pawn shops for a good while. Maybe I'll give that a shot soon.

[@jamesmoss3424]

I want to a pawn show before and I got some Comics from there it's cool. 😀👍

[@Matt_Likes_Comics]

Seeing that issue with Batman hung like a scarecrow, do you think the Smallville episode was meant as an homage to that cover?

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Definitely seems like it. That was the pilot episode for smallville I believe

I lost my entire collection about 2 years ago in a fire that happened at an apartment complex while we were not home. I think your old comic checklist with your sketches and signature is currently my favorite piece in my collection 🙂.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

That’s sad my friend. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m so glad you like that. It makes me feel good my friend.

[@Zuko-il7ed]

@@AlextheComicHoarderI've showed that off to my friends more than anything else lol.

[@Zuko-il7ed]

What do you feel are some of the most underrated comics from let's say the 80s till now

[@Zuko-il7ed]

I feel in my small collection x-force #2 is extremely underrated

[@Zuko-il7ed]

We missed you alex its been a while since ya posted. We are looking for some more original Alex the Comic Hoarder sketch and signatures lol

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Haha. I’ll try and draw some.
