Guy Gardner: "Here Beetle, hold my ring..." and in the next panel, Blue Beetle just tosses it away! Hilarious!

[@paulharper9711]

Yeah, I’m more of a DC guy myself. I do enjoy Marvel, Image, Boom, etc, but DC really dominates by collection.

[@5ft4inchloser]

I think that doom patrol #99 needs a mention. first appearance of a very popular character, he's on the cover, and it's silver age, doesn't get enough attention

[@MintHunterComics]

Agreed

[@GastonJacques]

That Grant/Breyfogle run on Batman and Detective Comics has a ton of first appearances of fairly notable villains and supporting characters: Anarky, Ventriloquist and Scarface, Renee Montoya, Cornelius Stirk, Mr Zsasz, Rat catcher, Kadaver, Jeremiah Arkham...

[@joelatorre]

“If that was a Marvel book I swear that would be 500 to a 1000 dollars.” It sounds like a funny saying but wow it’s true, especially with speculations. And I always loved that Det 701, such a cool cover and story

[@joeythestuntmaster6210]

And I thought I was familiar with undervalued, unrecognized keys. You, sir are the champion.

[@Grand_complication]

At a local comic con a couple months ago, I found the first appearance of Anarky and I would not have known what it was if it weren't for your videos!

[@matthewschwartz6607]

I think that I have an extra copy of Detective #609 if you want it .

[@Grand_complication]

@@matthewschwartz6607 how much?

[@kc8175]

Great video, most people only talk about Marvel keys. I’m a DC guy so I enjoy your videos. The fact that you actually read not just old books but the new books puts you above everyone else. I’m with you, every week I come home from my LCS and read Image first. I think my indie pull list is getting bigger than my DC🥶 Keep up the great work James!

[@bargaintuesday812]

TEC 608 was the first comic I ever had when my mom got it for me. I remember finding Anarky creepy looking.

[@knobles2010]

Great list. Love that DC goodness. Just might have to be looking for these.

[@suitedcollectibles8232]

I love how blue beetle is just laughing while guy Gardner just been humiliated

[@AlexMartinez-es6qz]

I'm more Marvel, so it's always good to find out what some DC keys look like.

[@terraincognita3749]

Hi James, love the video, especially the selection of ten truly affordable comics. I will keep an eye for them, especially that first Salaak! DC has so many undervalued comics. Like first Tim Drake (Batman 436) or first Stephanie Brown (Detective Comics 647), they are crazy cheap. Two possible ideas for your Marvel undervalued video: Uncanny X-men 317. First appearance of Blink. She was introduced in the Age of Apocalypse story and was the team leader in the long-running Exiles series. She had her own mini-series and there are a lot of Blink-fans out there. She also keeps popping up in new stories. Yet her first appearance can still be found for cheap, I found it in crisp NM in a eurobox (euro is about one dollar). X-Force 125, first Dead Girl. She was a member of the weird, but hilarious X-Static team. And now she popped up again as a counselor in the Strange Academy series. This book is rising a bit in value, but can still be found in the bins. This one feels more speculative, but is a lot of fun. Bonus tip here: X-Force 124, it is often in the bin right next to this one. Zero value, but that's a Darwyn Cooke cover! Greetings!

[@sventheswan4445]

Favorite channel ever helped me so much with my collection from advice on slabbing to advice on undervalued books. Thanks love your channel

[@MintHunterComics]

Glad you've been enjoying Sven!

[@sventheswan4445]

@@MintHunterComics thanks I can’t believe you replied!!! I am just a kid and I’ve noticed that people at my local comic stores don’t take me and my books seriously and just ignore me when I say I want to sell a few books even though their high grade keys even though they’re interested. Thanks for all the tips-Carson

[@Thomas_Donofrio]

Your vids have been such a big help for me since I started collecting! Appreciate you brother

[@KnowYourMarvelNews]

Thanks for sharing some of your secrets with us 😂 that All Star Squadron first appearance the biggest shock to me i think

[@wilsonri]

Nice to know about 1st app. Anarky, I think I have a couple of those. I have Spectre #1 and I have All Star #22 from golden age, (great flag cover btw). Would be nice to find that Showcase #60. Great Video.

[@ryanweeks121]

I'm a DC guy too so I really appreciated this video.

[@elguerilla81]

Agree. Anarky’s first appearance is totally undervalued.

[@emmajohnson4848]

I’m a huge DC fan, love learning more about it

[@comicbookcollectorking2875]

I always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

[@RobinComics]

Great video; Very neat list. Detective comics 701 and 457 have cool covers. Next video, top 10 Robin issues? 🤔😊😁

[@mollies3979]

I was exclusively a marvel collector before I started watching your videos. After watching your videos, I started getting into a lot more of the dc stuff. I'm just about to read swamp thing and the sandman.

[@sbentsen2714]

I'm glad you mentioned the Spectre, I'm a little surprised at how little people even mention the Spectre, He's just not included and hardly any DC material, And he's a super cool character 💯

[@chiefzenon]

Love the video. I’m a Marvel guy primarily but DC does have some really great stories and criminally undervalued books.

[@grea8hall88]

Great video as usual James. IMO Omega men 3, first Lobo and House of Mystery 156, first dial H for hero. Now is the time to get DC keys before they blow up, DC will have its time!

[@davidbruce5919]

I get so happy whenever I c u upload dc comics r so good they need to stay undervalued so I can afford them

[@treydodson4726]

There is a pair of comics that features the final team up of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson before Fick switched from the Robin identity to Nightwing. New Teen Titans#37 and Batman and the Outsiders#5 featured the final team up of The Dynamico Duo in November 1983.

[@sharken4cer]

Love watching these videos before diving into discount bins.

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Anarchy is such an Underrated villain in the Batman world. There could be some great philosophical battles and stories told between him and Batman 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheComicBookReport]

Cannot believe how cheap some of these are; great list sir! Good looking out 💪👏

[@MintHunterComics]

Absolutely ridiculous!

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@MintHunterComics love the cover For the Leslie Thompkins issue

[@DanielaVon33]

Husband loves his marvel and I appreciate you showing DC, since I’m a DC fan. I keep on hunting!

[@aaronhair9647]

I have a lot of superboy comics. I would love to add those 2 to my collection. I used to have them in my collection then COVID hit and lost my job and unemployment wouldn't approve my claim and I lost my storage unit with my massive comic collection, video game collection, and My brothers stuff. I started my collection again about a year and a half ago. I'm at 1800 comics now. You helped me get into collecting again. I love your channel and videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ketoklique9013]

Nice list... So much underrated DC out there, like Forever People #1...

[@inklingboi08]

I only started reading and collecting DC this year, so this is some very useful info!

[@siumaisifu]

I have not collected comic books in years but i do enjoy watching your content please keep posting. Thank you!

[@jacobrivera3030]

Okay that first Leslie Tompkin one got me. That’s crazy. Great video man!

[@OpenBuildRepeat]

getting back in the books again! been watching your vids! good stuff!

[@BrickCookies]

I remember I got a Justice League 5 a couple years back and I was shocked that it was so cheap.

[@Ravensflock89]

This was great. You should definitely do the marvel OVERVALUED books.

[@stephencybulski4610]

It’s weird how DC seems to be more underrated than Marvel. Great video and will definitely have to keep an eye out for some of these.

[@MPScrimshaw]

I think the most likely reason so many of these are so cheap is because to someone like me, who is mostly a Marvel guy, I've never heard of a single one of these characters whose first appearances these are (except psycho pirate and that's only because of Tom King). They're not mainstream enough for people to care enough to drive the prices up.

[@blaiseharville7889]

I at one point had that 1st Neron but traded it away in a lot and haven’t seen a nice copy since. Still kicking myself for it.

[@josephsawyer9109]

That Swamp Thing #90 is such a gorgeous gem of a colour. And that psycho pirate underrated first appearance is criminal!! Even the cover is pretty awesome - I call nonsense!

[@Yed4455Gaming]

I just started collecting dc comics a this year starting with the rebirth. I have no idea what to look for that might have value. Thank you for doing videos like this!

[@TripleDAdventures]

Nice. I have the Detective 457, Justice League 193, and the All-Star Squadron 1.

[@Maniaclink77]

Very helpful. I see Justice League #5 all the time and never picked it up.

[@SirButton-]

Thank you for editing your videos man, I find a lot of comic channels just never edit anything and it makes it a real slog to watch in comparison

[@PopeOfChiliTown]

I literally just hung my triple signed copy of JL 5 on my wall next to a Maguire GG sketch from Baltimore last year.

[@Bogeyman8709]

Love that you had Detective Comics 457 on this list. Its a shame the cover story is only half the issue. Denny O'Neil and Dick Giordano classic!

[@xmen1bishopdavis67]

Nice DC 🔑 list! Keep up the great job...

[@homerjay424]

James- curious if you have any opinions on Legion keys...obviously Adventure 247 is the book but do you see any other LSH keys out there? LSH keys are kinda weird in that they are huge to fans but appear non existent to the community at large. Great job and video as always

[@toddmusic]

Awesome list. I would add that many of the Breyfogle late 80s Batman and Detective comics are way undervalued. His art was so unique!

[@ericbogacz6274]

Thanks James I found DC 608 at a swapmeet for $2 yesterday and remembered it because of this video

[@Raycomics2000]

1st appearance of Blue Devil is Underrated

[@FuriousGeorge_]

I'm a comic newbie and find your videos very and insightful and straight to the point, thanks!

[@prowlingforcomics3443]

Not a big DC fan but slowly converting and reading some Great DC books. Thanks for all you do for this comic book community. Keep on hunting!

[@annb5378]

Glad i found your channel. Been wanting to get into DC comics since they are way undervalued compared to Marvel

[@nickrace5175]

So happy I found this channel, I’m pretty new to collecting and am pretty lost if I’m being honest. This is a great best video for a beginner

[@davidkennedy6612]

Great list there, 10 books that I was unaware of

[@TheKingfisher745]

Awesome video. I have been meaning to pick up that Spectre.

[@davidgranby23]

Always love watching you 👍, love the videos and when I see something like undervalued I want to go out and find these. Keep up the great videos 🙏😇

[@noahidecomics]

Got Green Lantern 149 on eBay the other day. Didn't pay too much for it. Coming in the mail at the moment.

[@steviewunder1980]

Keep these undervalued DC comics coming! I’ve been a Marvel guy mostly but DC seems to have some pretty unique stuff that I’ve simply missed over the years.

[@MintHunterComics]

I love making these!

[@Yungcomics]

Ngl those 2 books you had in the intro for the giveaway, i was gonna buy those books in the future for my pc lol. i've loved those books ever since i saw your channel how you explained on getting the description of the cameo to be put on the slab. let's get 20k!! keep up the content bro

[@tommycarothers6756]

Great Information- I once bought DC 608 for $2 to flip / took forever - now I want it back lol. I’ll now look for GL 149 n ST 90. Thx

[@ss21titus]

Love me some bats!!! I'm so glad I have these in the PC!

[@wesleydodds]

Solid list. Keep the DC finds coming!

[@chaoticcomics0054]

I always enjoy your videos. DC is my favorite so it's nice to see someone focusing on their undervalued key issues. Keep up the great content.

[@collinclinevell8740]

Great vid! I definitely agree with those especially the anarchy he’s a notable Batman villain and no one cares!

[@keithhuntscoins1375]

This is a great video and I love the info. Seems like Marvel gets all the love these days but DC has a fantastic group of characters.

[@Deadman1957TEB]

Detec #457, my favourite comic cover and the story inside is one of the best!

[@buraddorun3043]

Every week a brand new Marvel book usually becomes overvalued... Fun video. This kind of info is good for people who are priced out of big keys but still want to find good stuff that can eventually get big.

[@danielberbel859]

Mint! You gotta me started on comic book collecting man! I’m hooked now. Lol

[@casino_comics]

I have a few of those. That Batman one punch is awesome.

[@blucadethree]

DC seems to always be a good value. Thanks for the info.

[@rammisalami]

We need an underrated Green Lantern Key video! So many undervalued books. GL 16, first star sapphire comes to mind.

[@calebjohnson8830]

I appreciate you talking about DC when so many others are subconsciously marvel exclusive 😂😂

[@derekdavis5975]

This guy channel is amazing got me to start collecting comics

[@comiccapcollectibles]

I thought for sure you were going with showcase 75 first hawk and dove. Silver age 2 first appearances. Way undervalued. Great vid

[@Mike_oliver1313]

Great video! I’ve got 3 of books keep hunting!

[@Jagdosh]

Interesting point about the cgc notation, I think it does play a factor, especially for lesser-known characters.

[@Killarend]

Great video dude, you reignited my love for collecting comics. Keep up the great work!

[@colossusX1]

I really like the titles in DCs black label.

[@benfox4263]

Thanks dude! Another awesome video. Trying to switch gears and get into DC a lot more.

[@Remeny42]

Love the video as always. You bring such a wonderful vibe to your videos! I feel like static 1 is undervalued (maybe not as poorly as the books in your video) but a 9.8 should go for way more than what it currently does

[@Jagdosh]

I agree! IMO he's the Miles Morales of DC. I really liked the show growing up.

[@MarkDemeo]

The thing I like about when you make lists like this,it gives me some ideas of books I'd want to look for and ad to my collection.

[@JohnAngelmo]

Not interested in winning, I am more for Star Wars books but I do want to comment and show that I like this channel.

[@edwardsaravo2702]

I don’t think you can find those SA Showcase books in mid-grade for cheap, at least not at any places that I have looked. And that Tec 457 is easily a $50+ book in FN or better condition (I agree that it’s a great cover). Thanks for the picks.

[@homeaccount5943]

I've got most of these books. I absolutely love DC Comics. They really need to be ring back Anarky, and they need to bring back Azrael, too.

[@fanglord13]

Didn't know about swamp thing 90, going to have to keep an eye out for that :)

[@pbales8951]

I'm especially surprised at how cheap Showcase #60 is.

[@afrias9470]

Great video, keeping an eye out for any of these that I come across. Thank you.

[@Fatbond0007]

Really enjoyed watching this and seeing how there are some low and mid level keys at a very reasonable price and definitely worth getting. Another undervalued key is Birds of Prey #37 (2002) as it is the first appearance of the Condiment King, the silliest villain ever alongside snowflame, and can be found in $1 & 50 cent bins.

[@Jay-qv8hq]

Congratulations on 20k brother keep doing exactly what u been doing and sky is the limit

[@Secretidentitycomics26]

Enjoyed the video. I agree with Anarchy. It makes no sense, a solid Villian .

[@mobb49]

Been watching you for a while,you,ve been a huge help for me being new to comics

[@movilla8952]

The best comics channel, love the passion and knowledge you put on every video. Keep the great work!

[@MintHunterComics]

I reallyyyy appreciate that!

[@ericwilliams1845]

The problem with silver and most Bronze Age DC stuff is that most readers hate it. Very little of it holds any candle to what marvel puts out at the time. Hence why it’s never been as collected or valued and will have a hard time of ever getting to that level…even with an amazing film or something to that effect, the desire for most collectors of the 60s and 70s is marvel and I don’t see that ever changing

[@JustBlue-xo1tc]

These videos are going to help me get some great additions to my comic collection
