Top 20 Keys Under a Dollar!

[@AFROSAMURAI09]

This is one of the most underrated channel on YT! X-Men 428, Detective 529 noted. Not buying Quasar though lol…

[@MintHunterComics]

Hahahaha

[@skybornsamurai961]

Great tips. I am a methodical dollar bin diver. I will find that Batman #529. 😁

[@MintHunterComics]

Detective comics!

[@hockeymike15035]

Thanks🤝🏻More dollar bin books to track down. Dope 🔥

[@johngaravaglia6126]

Thanks for the tips! The one book I always see in the dollar bin is ASM #546 (first appearance of Mr. Negative).

[@jonm.wallersewell5199]

Thanks for the Nocturna scoop! And nice sweater!

[@acegoodheart9590]

Amazing list, pretty much all of these were out of my radar. Thank you

[@ericjohnson2083]

I enjoy all of your videos. I really appreciate that they are not all “look what I bought “ videos. Great content!

[@MintHunterComics]

I very rarely do those types of videos hahaha

[@sixarms]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The only comic I have from this list is Firestorm. That's because I have the entire series. I am going to go read it again. Thank you, take care.

[@gregwait3553]

Definitely that Iron Man 281!!! It’s like Hulk 181 and 180 1st Wolverine. 1st War Machine. Glow in the Dark covers like you said. The kids love them!

[@bbachner2]

Great list! I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for these! Thanks!

[@tonymcnaulty8301]

Great video. I wish I lived closer to N.J. I would be at your store regularly. Going to be adding these to the PC.

[@grownassedgamergamer807]

Bro.. That Green Lantern book is a special one for me because it is the FIRST comic book I remember reading and owning and sparked my love for the hobby. Never forgot that book and I found it on the wall of a comic store last year and IMMEDIATELY bought it for about 6 bucks. Had no Idea it was Brian Bolland's first American comics work and I always LOVED that cover. Thanks for the insight!

[@BillStrait]

I tracked down that Quasar book after seeing it in a fun fact. Its one of my favorite cross universe crossovers.

[@minuswyatt2437]

Incredible sweater

[@louben987]

I'm still a sucker for the glow-in-the-dark covers!

[@TomRivera-wf8fo]

Thanks for the tips. Some great books here

[@kriscox3633]

I need to find the ice comic

[@billlewis8765]

I really like that 1st Brian Bolland Green Lantern book! Pretty sweet.

[@Liszka0]

Great list, thanks for the video!

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks for watching!

[@Allean_Adkins]

Dang. Thank you. I didn't have a uncanny 428. To the dollar bin!

[@MintHunterComics]

Check it out!

[@alyssajolie]

Absolute LOVE these videos. Thank you so much much! Was just looking at JLI 12 today since I’m collecting the run! Even more excited to grab it now :)

[@MintHunterComics]

That’s my jam too!

[@leemattes9461]

I can't wait to start hunting for these books! Thanks!

[@donovanching5110]

Not enough people talking about how incredible that christmas sweater is

[@johnmackenzie5077]

I enjoyed the video. Added some of these to my wanted list and hopefully i can find them in the new year. Have a good holiday season.

[@jonaswirtanen115]

That entire firestorm run is full of underrated keys. Firestorm needs more love in movies and tv lol

[@SBAVoltronProdt]

I continue to grab X-Men 428 whenever I see it in back bins for a dollar. The Azazel 1st app is cool but honestly I just love it as a Nightcrawler cover

[@JMChick47]

Interesting info; thanks!

[@kyleelmore7250]

It’s funny you mention the slapstick one because I just found that in the dollar bins at a swap meet!

[@RS-ub9gw]

#9, crossbones. I completely agree. Way undervalued

[@pauld_77]

Great selection of books … I’ll be heading to the dollar bins asap :)

[@RudeMekanicals]

Lonbow Hunters 1 should be worth way more, just because of its storytelling. Uncanny X-men 428 belongs in the dollar bin, just because of its storytelling. But as a fan of Blink - she is in my top three favorite X-Men - I don't mind Uncanny X-Men 317 being so undervalued because it allows me to mass collect her first appearance!

[@njmdromanah122]

First appearance of Crossbones at a dollar bin is a crime

[@thatonekid-gy2kt]

I hate the fact that Azazel is considered such a minor character, I love him and his relation Nightcrawler. Prometheus is just an awesome character and one that almost everyone ignores...

[@reaperzslicer235]

Well, now I know what to look for next time I go dollar bin hunting

[@pcantu3]

Crazy to see how many keys, small and not so small, are still so low in cost.

[@lincolnrice4946]

Great list. I was not familiar with most of these!

[@pattongilbert]

Still amazes me that Prometheus is that cheap. Crazy!

[@Megaman51]

I always wondered why The Spectre comics never got more attention. Great video, I learned a lot.

[@BowlerBP]

The research James does is unmatched. Such fun content and tips for underrated books to hunt for, great for collectors at any level! I'd add 1 from each....in Marvel Id say X-Men 235, which is the 1st Genosha. Still see that in dollar bins which is crazy with it's significance to the X-Men stories that follow. For DC, I'd say Detective Comics 599, the 1st Henri Ducard. James has mentioned that one before and I continue to see it in dollar bins.

[@TwentyFiveAlpha]

The Quasar comic is interesting to know about with the hidden Barry Allen reference.

[@janicearroyo-wright8529]

Going to pick up a few ironman 281s. As a 90s kid I collect based on memories of the cartoons and cards of the day. Malibu Ultra Force/Ultraveres are my go to undervalued comic's.

[@jayjd316]

Another video with a wealth of knowledge.

[@Hupspring]

Now I want to find that 1985 issue, sounds interesting!

[@chadfiebelkorn3799]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jrucker4181]

Great video. love these choices.

[@DavidS-b8f]

Thanks for the video I had no idea about these comic books thanks 👍👍👍

[@cocoscomics5544]

Thank you for sharing. Now I’m on the hunt

[@MintHunterComics]

Good luck!

[@charliedogg7683]

Mike Grell is one of those creators inextricably linked to certain characters, in his case Green Arrow (and Black Canary) and The Warlord. The Crossbow Hunters is I think his best work in his long career. There are several subtle and unofficial Marvel/DC crossovers like Barry Allen in Quasar #17 - another is Sub-Mariner #72 (1974) which copies most of a panel from Aquaman #56 (1971), with both stories written by Steve Skeates. Thanks for including Mark Millar and Tommy Lee Edwards' 1985, a fantastic miniseries which no-one seems to even remember. By the way, "Millar" is pronounced the same as "Miller", the difference in spelling is a regional British variation. Slapstick and the Impossible Man would be a great team-up or battle as long as the right creative team was used.

[@mattlane2310]

I love dollar bins

[@mrgumdrops5]

Thanks for the info man! Sad that all these 1 dollar bin books are in 5 dollar bins in Canada 😂

[@MintHunterComics]

I honestly feel like even $5 is a steal for all of these hahaha

[@ScarecrOmega]

no, Im in Canada and found 2 of these(and even bigger keys) in 50 cent/$1 bins

[@mrgumdrops5]

@@ScarecrOmega Congrats! Not at any of my stores!

[@christiantormodsen9044]

Great list! People are catching on to the longbow hunters though, it’s actually got a decent value in a 9.8.

[@jesseduran7353]

I have a few of these but a lot to add to my wishlist!

[@ScarecrOmega]

Was thinking about the Parasite book before watching, totally agree, this Parasite is used so many times everywhere and it's $1? cmon

[@MintHunterComics]

So ridiculous

[@ErnestA-sy5mj]

Awesome information …Thanks

[@eliastamim2319]

Love the videos man!

[@bryancastro5631]

This makes me wanna get out there and do some hunting! Great vid!

[@destonszydlek789]

Love your videos

[@shawnmurray2319]

Love the tips you give!

[@MostlyMajestic]

Great topic! Thanks for sharing.

[@christophermorrison1931]

Absolutely love these types of videos

[@VitaminDSkool]

Firestorm is filled with so many keys people don’t talk about it’s crazy. Also I had no clue that JLI was 1st Ice lol I bought it a few years back because it was 1st cover and origin of Maxwell Lord lol

[@zackstriluk4296]

Great video I wonder where some of these suggestions came from 😉

[@reads.]

Thanks for this informative video! 👊💥

[@pvj6993]

Time to go tressure hunting in the dollar bins

[@cowbelltv4865]

Great list. Thx!

[@danielmctaggart707]

Take a look at Marvel Super Action #26. I think it's Steve Dillon's first American work. Also, #25 might be Dave Gibbons' first American work.

[@markostler168]

Great ideas, Hal Alien, how hilarious

[@Sinsightful]

Great List!❤

[@kma6881]

X-men 283. First full appearance of Bishop. Saw about 12 in the dollar bin. None were bagged. Just sitting in there raw, probably 6.5’s. 😢

[@Spreedem]

I can vouch on 1st appearance of Azazel in dolla bins. Had to buy all the NM when i find it. Can't pass it up.

[@chrissutter5798]

Found Slapstick #1 and #2 in a dollar bin recently

[@buraddorun3043]

I got that Quasar book for $1 (actually $2 I think) a couple months ago!

[@kitescuriosities7717]

Did some digging for you, brother, but have a few questions. So Detective Comics #529 has a published date of August, 1983. Batman #329 has a publish date of September, 1983. I am still a newcomer to the comic book community (I started May 6, 2023), and have read where some books come out a few weeks/months after the published date. Could this be the reason for the discrepancy? The only other thing I can think of is that #529 appears to not give out a full name, calling her N. Knight. Have you ever contacted Key Collector about this? They’ve always been kind and helpful to me, although they did just recently shoot down my idea of listing Blue Devil #26 as a key since it is the first appearance of Green Gargoyle. They did add it to the notes, though.😄👍

[@mth80555]

Gotta get that Quasar and several others

[@jeffstanley6013]

Actually, Rhodes doesn't wear the War Machine armor until 284, per Key Collector.

[@sixarms]

Thanks!

[@larryhoague9803]

Interesting list. A lot of issues that I wouldn't expect to be so inexpensive.

[@MintHunterComics]

Right?

[@caskstrengthgamer4985]

I personally think batman shadow of the bat #1 first victor zsasz should not be in a dollar bin

[@anthonywoodham3311]

Yeah 1985!!! Its on my to own list

[@jamesontorres3317]

That Parasite entry is wild

[@pacman52280]

How would I get to your store, which you mention at the end of this video, by public transportation from either Penn Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal, both of which are in NYC?

[@monsterphile]

You can't beat a bargain. Opinion on the SUPERMAN trailer, James?

[@MintHunterComics]

Absolutely dope

[@roywatson7916]

Good list.

[@DavidS-b8f]

I actually paid $10 for Iron Man 281 at my LCS. I would love to get it for a dollar though

[@MintHunterComics]

I think $10 is a great price! Considering what it is!

[@TheOriginalBlackBradPitt]

Dude that’s a sick sweater

[@juanayon9713]

Have a couple of these.

[@stevenmcd4741]

Can’t believe the glow in the dark Radioactive Man #1 didn’t get a shout out. 😂

[@MintHunterComics]

That’s expensive

[@stevenmcd4741]

I had no idea!

[@SAGE_EDITS_1]

I’ve been a longtime viewer, and i would love to get my hands on that spider gwen!

[@BladeRunner90]

Nice video thanks

[@Koledzy_Studio]

In Poland there isnt any comic for less than 2 dollars

[@LoneWolf-p1o]

agree, bulk for 10 dollars hahah

[@tygrus3495]

Superman Vol 2, 131. Lex Luthor's origin (no key issue, don't ask me why). Criminally underrated number, and is 1 dollar.

[@MintHunterComics]

Good choice

[@brianbarrick9583]

Nice list, but i'm not seeing them in any $1 bin in my area, thanks.

[@MintHunterComics]

I see em all the time at flea markets and at my local dollar bin warehouse

[@ConnorJG76]

Random question, give us your list of all metroid games; best to worst.

[@0sumgamezzz435]

Hey James, I messaged you on a video a week or two back. I’d like your opinion, if possible. In a dollar bin, I grabbed, what I am pretty sure was the first, possibly, only comic book meeting of Gambit and Blade, totally by chance. With those two showing up in the Deadpool movie, like they did. Do you think it is a worthwhile spec. Also, it is kind of relevant with this video’s subject matter. Thanks.

[@whatsonehteshaamgulamsmind2885]

One time I got a Amazing Spider-Man 238 for $2

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

How about Superman 204 Jim lee

[@MintHunterComics]

Already mentioned it in an earlier video! Tried to not repeat myself

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

@@MintHunterComics I see

[@Whalewraith]

The sad truth is 95% of comics are effectively worthless. Unless it's spiked by something or you're a real fan trying to complete a run, who has the energy time and money to randomly buy a random comic from decades ago. There's just to much out there Dollar bins are great for people who just want something to read though. I'm not knocking them. I love those Spectre covers. Talking of which I've got The Green Lantern War journal glow in the dark cover and there's no hint of that glowing. Blink was outstanding in The Gifted show, shame that didn't get season 3

[@ellenacarroll863]

Talos!

[@rlink80]

The Draco arc from X-men was whack! Could be why that one gets buried.
