My Comic Book Collection Top 50 key issues ( tag video )

[@AucheysAdventures]

19:24 I went to a garage sale that had the first appearance of the wasp. They had tons of key issues! Mostly tales to astonish and thor. $5 each!

[@ubuildstudios]

+Robert Lewis Auchey man, that is an amazing find, did you get them?

[@AucheysAdventures]

+ubuildstudios i wound up getting tales to astonish 38 and Thor 109 for 5 each. would have gotten more if I would have had more than 10 bucks on me

[@AucheysAdventures]

+ubuildstudios I don't really follow antman I'm mostly a spiderman X-men fan so I foolishly passed up a tales to astonish 27

[@3ma_lengend]

I only have a few keys but trying to build my collection

[@snesgenesis]

I've been collecting intermittently since I was 10 so that's 24 years and your collection is having me salivating at my work desk!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Hey buddy thanks for the comment bro I really appreciate it

[@Reapertate728]

Great top 50, Lightning. You have a great collection. So many I need. This was a great haul and enjoyed watching this. Sorry to hear about your string of bad luck. Hope things turn around for you. Thanks for sharing!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thank u bud hopefully this bad luck streak ends

[@everythingcomics114]

I have seen this video multiple times, still can't get over the fact that you have those comics!!!

[@txsnowman5064]

Awesome collection. So many cool key issues but unfortunately at this time the market has me priced out of most Silver age. Just started collecting again six months ago after a long gap since childhood. Love collecting Bronze and and Copper age though. Great video.

[@metal220]

I got new mutants 98 mint for 12 bucks because he looked in a old price guide picked up amazing spiderman 300 6 bucks at a fle market. But its probably a 7. IM gonna put a video up of my key issues but i cant find hulk 340. Not really a key issue i got it for 50 cents or 1 dollar

[@RAG718]

Wow!!!! this is probably one of the best collections I have seen online ever.. regardless of the condition. Where the heck have I been for a year -- I know this video is old. I was the same way, only collecting Marvel and recently just starting adding a piece here and another piece there of key DC issues. Also got some key Image and Valiant comics -- you believe that! But yea, I like your comics, some I never heard of but def on my radar and Want List now - so thanks for sharing and see you around!

[@RAG718]

hahaha, I think that is a true statement... never was a fan of POOR condition comics VG/F/VF especially since majority of my comics are 9.8 but your statement about ebay I have recently realized is true and even low graded comics have a market in the comic book industry. Good point!

[@joeyreyrey5827]

Gorgeous Collection. I love that you made the list based on what the books mean to you. House of Secrets 92 would've made my top 10 just because of what it means to comics era in general and the iconic cover. I agree with Jummy Olsen 34 and how extremely undervalued it is. Maybe if DC gets their act together they'll represent him with respect in the movies....dont want another Doomsday. Darkseid is DC's GOAT villain as Thanos is to Marvel.

[@lamairepr]

Very nice my friend, really enjoyed you video...nice list. I just got into collecting really within the last year or so. my wife said at the ripe old age of 47 I'm to old to start :) I said never...I'm getting my grandson introduced to comics I think he will enjoy it. Keep the videos coming, thanks again!

[@silverage682]

Unbelievable Lightening, I certainly can't compete. I might try putting together my top 25. If I try to put together my top 50 I'll just end up embarrassing myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

No way bro would love to see your top 50

[@ComicHorder410]

I was thinking when you commented on my vid, man I haven't seen a vid from Rich in a bit, I will message him. But then you uploaded this monster of a vid. You have such a great collection Rich, I only made it halfway through and I'm insanely jealous. I need ASW 10 so bad. I hope things get better for you and yours Rich, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care buddy!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks Matt appreciate the kind words I hope u get your own copy of asw 10 I think that book has came down in price

[@jordanwatkins6141]

Amazing video.Just those 50 books alone puts my best books to shame.Looking forward to your next video.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks buddy appreciate it

[@jamesblack3378]

Hell of a collection man. Hope you get out of that bad luck and keep putting up more hauls.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Me and u both bro I have hit a major bad luck streak hopefully it's over now and I can focus back on the hobby

[@dangwood91887]

1st appearance punisher giant x men 1 and hulk 181 are your most valuable today I believe. If they are 9.8 each you’re looking at over 45 thousand bro. I’ll take em if you ever feel like getting rid of em 🥴 lol. Subbed!

[@fiberbiskit]

A-MAZ-ING!!! Just a fantastic collection. Love seeing all these books in the same video! Hope things get better soon and a speedy recovery for your wife!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks buddy that means a lot coming from u. I would love to see a vid from u doing a top 50 u have a killer collection

[@TheIncredibleCJ]

Dude, Rich! Whats up man? Aside from all that stuff you have been dealing with, hopefully you are doing well. Been awhile! Sinestro at 47? Oh man I am in for a ride! Deadpool at 44 oh wow! lol I just got Barbara Gordan so I think Poison Ivy will be my next book. I got Brave and Bold 54 too, got a great deal too! It was in my con haul video! Grodd at 29!!! Wow! Speaking of Babs there she is at 9! :) Amazing, Amazing books Rich. If I get tagged my list will be pieced together in a weird way but I'll have a decent top 10 I think lol. Thanks for sharing and starting this man!

[@saiyamang5397]

one of those hulk 181 comics looks like a reprint, the artwork on the comic to the right is extended at the comics right border! and they did make an exact reprint of Hulk 181 I'm just not sure what year it was reprinted.

[@TimmyCanadianComicHunter]

Great haul video, keep up the good work with all and keys you been picking up, can’t wait to see you next video , love the covers also this channel has little bit everything :)

[@mantacomics1232]

Hey Rich! Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. Also thanks for tagging me! You know you're in for a hell of a video when all star western #10 is your 49th spot. first bizarro for $13 is crazy awesome. Iron man #55 seems like one of those books that will never be cheap and will always be hot. Giant size xmen #1 is HUGE key. That's cool how when you were a kid you were picking up the keys. Wow man, all books from 50 all the way to 1 were amazing! You truly have one of the best collections out there. Really enjoyed seeing a vid from you Rich. Take care and have a good one.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks manta it was really hard for me to do this vid because I had to leave so many books out but I am really looking forward to your vid as well and in my opinion u have one of the better collections in the community

[@mantacomics1232]

Lightning2288 Thanks buddy

[@boomcity4155]

Glad to see you start this rich. Top notch collection. Man so jealous of flash 106 and batman 171. Too awesome Books. Amazing collection brother.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro would love to see u do a vid

[@nostalgiajunkies8963]

Geez, a lot of great issues here. Teen Titans #2 and Spiderman #121 are high on my want list but Marvel Spotlight #5 is at the top for sure.

[@brucew7339]

Damn, you went from not having the finances to an absolutely amazing collection. Congrats

[@bradkoski]

Loved the video buddy. And really like how you put feelings over value when it came to your top 10. Our taste is pretty darn similar...lol! Still waiting to get my Spidey 300 back from CGC, had Stan Sign it at Megacon. Yeah, love my Xmen as well and hate how Marvel is treating them...shoving Inhumans down our throats..geez! Again, great vid! P.S I grew up in L.A and Wolverine Limited Series #1 was my 1st Grail..lol!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Would love to see your asm 300 signed by the man that's awesome glad u enjoyed the vid would love to see your top 50 and wolverine 1 is a must have for any wolvie fan

[@marcuschandler6931]

Excellent books great collection 👍 and condition.

[@theblackphantomhd]

I am very surprised that you put Thanos on this lis, but not Darkseid, he is the better of the two IMO. Anyway Great Video Lightning!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks buddy I actually do have jimmy olson 134 on the list darkseid first app but I just a bigger thanos fan thanx for watching

[@williamgill_esq.6487]

Thanks for sharing. I still have a ton of Silver and early Bronze books I bought as a kid, including some of the ones you displayed. 👍

[@davidmartin4532]

Yeah

[@yoone123]

Got the spiderman/mysterio and iron fist yesterday for 2 dollars each at my local comic book store. Did not know if they were valuable but bought them for the cover art.

[@herohunter81]

You deserve every bit of 1000 subs and more. You have a lot of books that I don't have. We all should've listened to you about buying DC keys while we had the chance. I'm excited to do a video. Thanks!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks Clint can't wait for your vid always looking forward to seeing some hard to find rare books

[@jambocomics9862]

Just subbed your channel , nice keys , wow thanks for sharing those

[@k1ngp1n66]

I have watched this video before, but I sure miss watching these vids. I recently really got into comics again and this video came up and brought back good memories. Have you and James been buying books anymore? We thought books were expensive back then lol, little did we know how bad things would get.

[@anthonydiaz5123]

I've only been collecting for a few yrs, but I was very happy to see some comics in your 50 that i own as well, infact the 1st key issue I bought was a 8.5 graded copy of new mutants 98, I HAD to get it since I'd started picking up issues of x-force out of dollar boxes & already had deadpools 2nd & 3rd appearances. you're obviously an experienced collector & it's good to hear that alot of my own picks made your top 50, &thanks for the tip about flipping some classic books on ebay, I'munna try that. You Gonna post a top 50 for this year?

[@jrox1904]

Would love to see moon knight in a Netflix type show. great books that Swamp thing 1st app is such a great cover one of my faves off all time. Im a try to do video later havent whipped out my key issues in a while LoL

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Yea I think moon knight would be a very bad ass show if done right I hope u get a chance to whip out those keys and make a vid

[@generalbuddy2114]

Damn this aged well

[@curtiscamron]

Great video, the market is wack right now, we all know it. I may put up a video for my top 50 but its going to be near impossible to pick and then put them all back in the boxes, lol. Amazing 129 over GL 76 all day IMO.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Would love to see a top 50 from u I know we would see some nice golden age on your list

[@bullymaguire4056]

I have a question it’s probs a stupid question but I’m stuck in which comic to out of these 2 so I found a unbeatable Squirrel Girl 1 Arthur Adams variant edition signed by Arthur Adams graded by cgc at a 9.8!! For just £95 or best offer But I also found an Amazing Spider-Man 102 graded 8.0 by CBCS it’s the second appearance of Morbius the biggest reason why I want this is because I have Amazing Spider-Man 101 first appearance of Morbius and it’s only £97.50 I really don’t know which one to buy

[@Jay_Rule]

Nice haul man. I'm also lucky to have the New Mutants 98.

[@FourwayflashersonComics]

Love the books! You have been one of my inspirations for getting back in to collecting key books and filming them for the masses! Congrats on 1000 subs.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thank u sir would love to see a collection vid from u

[@bigtado]

Excellent top 50. I think my number one is days of future past 141, and 142 , great great, books. Also great to see a new video from you.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks mike would love to see u do a vid like this I know u would blow mine out the water

[@capitaljbcomics3738]

Awesome books! Thank u for sharing your collection is amazing and thanks for being so inclusive ! Just subbed ya

[@kellykitkat40]

25:33 .. GL76 .. that cover is hilarious. It is like GL is reaching for a purse, and GH is like, No!! ... but, how hypocritical is that? Because Oliver Queen, like Bruce Wayne, owns a giant tech company, which keeps him well-stocked with arrows. And GL is like, Eh, I needed that green cash machine... jerk!

[@thecosmiccomicbookbroadcast]

Nice collection, love your comics.

[@bruh_hahaha]

Wonderful list! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@OmegaXIIV]

Love the DC keys bro. I'm going to do a vid as soon as I get my keys back from CBCS in a month or so.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Can't wait to see it u always show killer books

[@jnguye1]

Heck of a video Rich. I was hoping you would do something like this. Congrats on a 1000,plus and sorry to hear about the recent troubles. Really enjoyed the variety of your collection from silver to modern. We also have very similar taste with xmen and wolverine being my favorite. Your flash collection is sick. I know it must have been hard to cut back to 50. First iron fist, Luke cage,, captain boomerang already come to mind-that just says how great your collection is.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks john that means a lot coming from a guy that has a collection as great as yours still In my opinion u have one of the best in the community

[@ComicBookFanatics]

You got some great Keys and Silver Brother, really impressive!!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro really appreciate it

[@ComicBookFanatics]

No prob Brother, check out my Channel when you get a chance

[@jonegan11]

Dude i just watch your video for a second time cuz ur books r that good lol

[@TheCollectorsNevermore1115]

This is an awesome video and thanks for sharing. I'm rebuilding my collection from when I was a kid so this video helps with remembering and learning some of the very key issues.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks for watching bud good luck on getting the key issues back in your collection

[@TheCollectorsNevermore1115]

Lightning2288 thanks, it's hard work these days.

[@abcomics123c7]

My favorite book of yours is flash 106!!! I want that book so bad but it is so expensive now in any condition!!!

[@tonyhaze9401]

Are any of the Scourge murder spree comics worth anything? I thought it was a strange but cool storyline where Scourge kills a bunch of super villains. And it happens in multiple issues. Captain American was the main good guy after Scourge. This happens back in the 1980s. Thanks.

[@timmarrant1353]

Awesome stuff bud! You have a ridiculous collection!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks Tim that means alot

[@MangaComics]

I can tell you trimmed you list just from all you videos I've seen. It must have taken a while for you to decide a top 50 with all the insane keys you have in your collection. Great vid Rich!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks Erin really appreciate the kind words I notice u haven't been making videos as much I hope u can make one soon always enjoyed your vids

[@MangaComics]

Yeah, like you said tho prices are pretty crazy so I'm looking forward to the bubble burst too and the I can buy a lot more w/o paying so much.

[@Ojd189]

Damn what an epic collection 🤙🏼

[@nowmos]

Wow! Great comics! But am I the only one who wants to actually read them other than just have them in a sealed plastic case? lol

[@gillhitman11]

Love the video man I just started up collecting comics again. I collected for over 10yrs from 93 to 04 and after watching this video got the itch and started collecting comics again. So thanks for that lol! Man I am behind and trying to catch up I watched you video about a month a go but just commenting today cause I have been going to all my LCBS in town trying to find key books that I have missed out on. The chase is on again lol!! Love the video Thanks again, 'the hitman". PS I might do video of my top 50 someday soon so keep an eye out for that.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Hey bro thanks for the kind words really means a lot and glad your back collecting

[@ERod212]

Amazing video. Congrats on owning all of these amazing books. Enjoyed this from beginning to end.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro appreciate the kind words

[@kkncomics7047]

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro appreciate it

[@justacooldudeuknow28]

Amazing collection.

[@TheMusicforeal]

I am thinking about putting my comics that I put together but I am not not a good speaker!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

saavedra felix you should do it I am not that great of a speaker either. It's talking about comics it's not that serious bud. If u do decide to do a vid let me know so I can watch it and share it good luck

[@edgardoaponte4915]

love the collection just recently got into comics like 5 years ago im 15 and i hope to have books like yours some day. batman is my favorite. Do you know any batman keys that are afordable by a 15 year old?

[@DeadpoDabeast]

edgardo aponte I have a very affordable batman issue 442 the first appearance of Tim drake as robin that I got for $30

[@DeadpoDabeast]

edgardo aponte it's a 9.4

[@lordrabies49]

Awesome top 50 brother. Even though I'm late as hell. Lol

[@deborahdesanto2313]

Hi, im not a collector but i enjoy your videos, i used to like reading comics i guess your not interested in the Archie comics or Betty and Veronica 😅 good luck to you. 😊

[@hypernovie]

You hit most the good ones I have or can afford ..The Super Heros anyway

[@seanashby65]

cool vid -- i appreciate your insights/thoughts on books -- ivr brrn watching ETA Nick lately and found your that way --

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Sean Ashby thanks buddy appreciate it. ETA Nick is the man full of knowledge

[@comixboy7300]

Hey nice books. I haven't uploaded since February and I plan on making a comeback this summer, school got kinda crazy and I cant wait to get back!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Can't wait for your next vid bud no worries school comes first before comics

[@comixboy7300]

yeah Im going to upload this week, but arkham knight comes out tonight!!!

[@davidmartin4532]

Those are some amazing comics, wonder if you still have them?

[@comicbossone2411]

Hi Lighting, I just wanted to say thank you. I saw this vid some time ago and it really inspired me. If you get chance would you look at my top 50 and let me know what you think? Thank you either way for what you’ve done, I love your vids.

[@TheTeddyBrosevelt]

Nothing’s changed now lol, dealers get offended if you say anything about the price. I haven’t seen a book at a comic shop under or even at FMV

[@jrox1904]

Youre so right back in the day if u found a key issue it was like wow how koo wasnt that easy to just type the name of book u whant.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Yea youngsters today are spoiled with technology u can basically get any book u want now with a click of a button, when I was young the only time u got key issues is if your local shop had them if they didn't u were assed out

[@jrox1904]

i grew up during the launch of spawn & re-launch of x-men so comics were big & shops were every were but it still was no were as easy as it is now.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Shit bro where I live I had two shops so I was very limited back in the day

[@jrox1904]

I had 3 shops but also had 3 arcade spots that sold comic books & cards then 3 more by my grandmas LOL. hanging out at shop playing arcades & checking out books was great you would meet all the other kids around the area.playing ST Fighter 2, TMNT & X-Men arcades.

[@calebtheatrearts1573]

How are you so fortunate to get great craigslist finds, when I look I find overpriced junk?

[@Lightning-js2lh]

It's just random luck buddy if u do it enough u will eventually strike gold I have literally been striking out for the last few months but I still try

[@Justinlc08]

Very very nice collection

[@ComixQuest]

Wow Rich!! I'm not jealous well I am you have a lot of amazing books my friend some books I should of bought years ago now there expensive as shit lol. Sorry to hear about your troubles in your life hope everything gets better in time that stuff sucks. I would gladly do a vid. Congrats on the 1000+ subs you deserve it brother!!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thank u Ira really looking forward to seeing your vid I am expecting to see high grade keys

[@abcomics123c7]

Good video my friend. Its been a while you came back strong and got everybody doing top 50 videos. Great idea sir. I might even do one myself.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks buddy hopefully u can do a vid would love to see it

[@abcomics123c7]

I just got a book i haven't seen anybody put in a video. It is a big book. Just in case you want to check it out from 1 comic nerd to another. Superman vs batman 1 rrp variant. It is rare.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

I just looked that book up very cool and very expensive do u know the print run on it

[@abcomics123c7]

Between 400 and 500. It was from a retailers convention in Baltimore in 2003.

[@djoneforever]

Awesome collection

[@sneakyredneck2059]

Please give price estimates for us newbies

[@gabrielkawa432]

Raj Al Ghul is my favorite villain as well

[@KEVVIE37]

WOW!! This makes me want to put up a video.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Definitely buddy would love to see your fav books

[@jasonpye4649]

Oh please, I'm a major Titans fan, and I'll tell you that no one calls it the First supposed Teen Titans. It's the first grouping of the Teen Titans unidentified as a team without Wonder Girl. That would be the qualification I would use. I believe their next appearance is as a team. And yes the House of Secrets 92 is the first ever Swamp Thing, but it's the Alex Olson version which has been established in continuity to be different than the most commonly known Swamp Thing which was in his next appearance Swamp Thing vol 1 1, Alec Holland. Similar storylines, but firmly established to be two different Swampies. I have the latter, signed by wrightson and wein. Oh and something else ... anyway anyway anyway. In my high school English classes , they completely beat out of me the word anyways. LOL well, and I've got a mother who's been a librarian for 30 years. And I'm quite certain now, almost four years after your video here, that it's not Thanos with a long A sound, it's more of a short A Thanos. Yeah but Darkseid and the whole Apokolips could beat him any day. And you mentioned at the time of the video you'd only been a DC fan or collector for a couple years. The flash was my friend when I was age for cuz I had the DC super powers action figures. I only came to really know marvel and become a Comic Collector in 1992 when I was in Middle School. I have over 7K in my collection right now. I've never spent over $50 for any single book and I have a lot of amazing first appearances of top-tier, second third and fourth and minor tier characters. I have a few from your list but not even close to half. But I do have the first Iron Fist, the first DC's parasite, the first Huntress, the first Power Girl, both junky Speedy issues and many many others.

[@j-stilt9746]

Awesome list, love it!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thank u buddy

[@everythingcomics114]

Nice comics, cool collection

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks buddy

[@etanick1]

[@MustEatBrains666]

Hulk 181 x2! Sweet! 'Nuff said

[@chadhagar3726]

[@Lightning-js2lh]

I can say the same about yours chad this coming from a guy that has xmen 1 lol

[@chadhagar3726]

Lightning2288 I don't think its that great lol

[@yomama9783]

Hey I was wondering if you could give me some advice I just started collecting and was wondering what's good cause I really wanna get into it

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Are u collecting key issues or r u collecting for great stories or both?

[@yomama9783]

+Lightning2288 as of right now I'm doing keys do you have any tips or if I should do craigslist and your content is awesome keep it up!

[@ComicDetective1]

Amazing collection bro

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro would love to see u do a top of your collection

[@christophermiles6351]

wolverine charter 26 of marvel comics and Ms marvel lock jaw avengers marvel and red Robin DC wolverine marvel and wolverine Hercules marvel

[@infxmhc]

Great video!

[@arturkarpinski164]

No Image???

[@jsuperflyc]

Personally, I find Jimmy Olsen 134 to be overvalued. Darkseid appears as a face on a small screen in one panel, and he's colored flesh-tone.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

I agree bro but u can probably say the same thing bout iron man 55

[@blackpeter70]

But...where the hell was Ambush Bug?!? Best character in the DC universe! ;)

[@bigbabysld]

I got u beat on the 1st DEADPOOL, I went to a street fair and saw this man selling comics out of a couple of long boxes and I figured they were gonna be dollar worth books, so I was fingering thru them and (he must have been getting rid of his kids collection) he was selling them for 50 cents a piece, so I said "What the hell" and lo and behold was NEW MUTANTS #98, I kept my mouth shut and just mixed them in with 20 other books...which all in total cost me 10bucks, but I ended up getting a "mint" 1st DEADPOOL for 50 cents.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Damn bro I always like to hear fellow collector finds great story was there anymore big books in that box

[@bigbabysld]

Lightning2288 I wish, but no...but that one was a WIN for me.

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Bro that's a major come up I wish I was that lucky

[@jonegan11]

Amazing!!!!! Nuff said!!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thanks bro

[@abcomics123c7]

I actually made a couple videos if you get bored. Let me know what you think. I would love some suggestions.

[@TheMusicforeal]

we will do a video thanks

[@rodrigogomezdelcampo2125]

Were did you got that venom collectible

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Actually at a toys r us years ago for 20 bucks

[@joegrizzly1104]

[@GreatLegendShow]

Great 50!

[@Lightning-js2lh]

Thank u sir

[@everythingcomics114]

How many comics do you think that you have?

[@Lightning-js2lh]
