My Comic Room Tour Over 300 Slabs and Keys

[@joegee1699]

I look at collections like yours and I ask myself, "jeez... my collection is nothing compared to this and I've put in enough to buy a new car...". Then I remember that you've been collecting for almost 40 years and I only got in 6 months ago after a 30 year break from when I was a kid 🤣 I hope to someday have a room as epic as yours! I'm happy you can show off such an accomplishment!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

The big thing is I recently became mortgage free, so I have a lot more extra money to devote to my hobby.

[@joegee1699]

@@ComicCollectorGeek I bet that helps! 🚀 Until my crypto takes off, I'll live vicariously through you!

[@mancavecomics6832]

Beautiful collection and display. I’m glad I found your channel 👊

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

The j-channel method works really well. The comics can easily be put up or taken down whenever I want to switch them out.

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

@@ComicCollectorGeek I use Rubber made shelves like silver age Dave uses

[@sirroxalot]

CREEPY is a FANTASTIC run. The stories are really entertaining, and the art work is incredible. I have the entire run including the fearbooks. I wish more folks knew about them.

[@jambocomics9862]

Awesome room , wow . Thanks for showing it

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

My pleasure 😊 I'm glad people seem to enjoy.

[@mrivera201]

Excellent comic room and collection. Great to see someone who collects for the love of the books.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yeah, I couldn't really sell them. If I am going to make a business from comics, it would be from sharing the love of comics.

[@georgekarpontinis2063]

Awesome comic room 5 star on variety of books nice job my friend keep up the collecting. Also I was watching the last video on your top books had to stop for a minute and lost it can not find it.

[@speccollector9740]

That is one Marvelous Collection. Wow.....as Mike said, there's clearly love there.

[@briangmurray6367]

Very cool room. The wall displays are awesome.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Thanks, working on getting all my favorite books.

[@comicbookninja5268]

Beautiful collection. I like that you are not a CGC only guy but have CBCS and PGX as well and not too worried about restored or qualified grades. It shows that you are truly a fan of comics. Also its a lot cheaper to have that amount of keys that you have and not go to the poor house. LOL.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yeah, I'm a collector. I just want a copy of the comics with the characters I love.

[@bradkoski]

Amazing collection

What an insane collection!! I watched this video like 3 times trying to see all the books! My goodness. Pure heaven lol. I saw a detective comics 225! That is my DC holy grail! Love Martian Manhunter! Thanks for sharing

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

#225 is an awesome book. Martian Manhunter is my son's favorite character along with Swamp Thing. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Planning to do a new recording because I've put more of my comics on display.

[@staticxtreme27]

Excellent collection! Finding a Phantom Stranger 1 that's complete is almost impossible, serious props!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Thanks! It's cool that you recognize this comic. It is really rare. One of my favorite characters. I'm trying to get the set of 1-6. So far I have 1,2,4.

[@staticxtreme27]

@@ComicCollectorGeek I always seem to see 2, 3, and 4. Sometimes I'll see issue #5, but #1 and #6, never. Every time I see an issue #1, it's had the title cut from the cover page. One of these days...

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@staticxtreme27 I actually have 2 #1s. One is my copy and the other I gave to my son. My son's copy has the issue you described. It is definitely a difficult book to find.

I love the randomness of it, that's how I collect. Some personal favoites, Bone 1, Crow 1, 1st blue beetle ted kord, Invincible 1, 1st Constantine, 1st Harley, 1st Walking Dead and of course first Spidey

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I was trying to have some pattern, but I have many interests. The Bone is in my cartoon character section along with 1st Flintstones, Scooby-doo, and Peanuts. I really liked Bone. I picked that copy up in the 90s. Actually, have a complete collection of first printings.

[@cardsandcomics]

@@ComicCollectorGeek bone 1 is crazy expensive I tried to get one last year. I picked up Starngers in Paradise 1 recently

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@cardsandcomics That's a cool comic. I bought Bone 1,2,3 1st prints for $300 Canadian in 1995. The #3 is also signed and sketched by Jeff Smith.

[@NoCoastComics]

Sweet room and books! I thought about doing the J channel thing like this but ended up just using picture ledges. Really looks nice on yours though

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I was considering doing the picture ledges too. The space I had was tight so the j-channel worked better because it kept the comics close to the wall. I installed them with a bit of extra height so I can easily remove the comics when I want. Thanks for the complaint.

[@cexyest]

very cool!

[@Mikah234]

Awesome set up and the books are amazing. I missed the boat on that amazing fantasy 15...:( Good hunting in 2021.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Thanks. Amazing Fantasy 15 is a hard book to get and has been for a long time.

[@thundergodd6086]

Wow. You have a wide range of comics; a very nice collection. You should be proud. When did you start collecting? And thanks for sharing. ;)

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Started collecting almost 40 years ago. Then got back into the hobby in the 90s.

[@thundergodd6086]

@@ComicCollectorGeek When did you stop collecting? And how long?

[@GrandTourVideos]

Sad to know it's next to impossible to ever have a collection like this in today's market.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Even for me many the comics I own have gone up 3-4x what I've originally paid for them only a few years ago.

[@alexkador285]

Wow just found your channel and I must have watched this video 30 times !! What shelving is that that you use to show your slabs on?

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I'm using a method I found online for displaying comics. Basically, it's just mounted j-channel. It allows me to display and easily change the comics if needed.

[@knp33]

this is wild. You should be making all your videos from this room! much more eye appealing

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I totally agree but hard to record in that room unless I just use my iphone.

Another great video, but have to nudge you a little on the cartoon collection as a huge Looney Tunes fan, where's Bugs and the crew? Lol.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I have 3 boxes of cartoon comics but very few slabs. I'm still searching for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #1 which is a grail that would definitely make my wall.

[@robotzvsfolks1559]

@@ComicCollectorGeek You have amazing tastes, and that's a highly desired and important comic book key

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Thanks for subbing! I collected mainly during the 90s but got back into it in 2019.

[@ziggyc4474]

Luke cage 1 a good buy to hold?

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Definitely one to buy and hold. It's a bit cold right now but probably the character is coming back. So it's a good time to buy it.

[@adamkeranen2277]

Amazing collection! Can I ask what stands you use for the ones that aren't on the wall?

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I actually did a video about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3S4fZR7e8iJiLc The stands I used were from the Dollar Store.

[@Chaos-cosplay-is-bord-chaos]

👍

[@PeckerComics]

Love the wall but the plastic takes away from the display imo

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Yeah, I was on the fence about removing the plastic. I was looking into getting Mylar sleeves for the cases.

[@PeckerComics]

@@ComicCollectorGeek yeah I’m careful about protecting my slabs too. Don’t want to get em scratched up or anything.

[@vengefulelf659]

I've collected for over 30 years and i've never own a graded book. Probably never will! That's just me

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Graded books aren't for everyone. Most of my books are ungraded but enjoy being able to have my major ones protected so I can display them.

[@HG58740]

Hey, bit late on this video but do you know where I can find Goon? I’ve seen a few series but I’m not sure which one is the one you recommended.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Goon current series should be easy to get and affordable. I believe it is only at issue 13. Your LCS or eBay should have it. Or you can try MyComicShop here's my link if you want: www.mycomicshop.com/?AffID=1877135P01

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@darrenjones886 Actually, I appreciated the comment. I thought the comics would be fine if I avoided direct sunlight. But because of your comment I got really paranoid and checked what lighting I was using and to make sure they are safe. LED is definitely the way to go and I'm fortunate that my house has LED lights throughout.

[@Habs8691]

Too bad he can't read any of them.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

LOL..I read them all online. I know many collectors like to read their actually physical copies but I prefer online.

[@chickenfkeryay]

That is one crazy collection. Its not the type i am interested in for myself, personally i like to collect series instead of just appearances. The nice thing about collecting is it is either for yourself or as an investment and no one else. I don't think ive seen another collection as unique as yours 👍 Considering some of the amazing slabs you have im surprised your Transformers 1, ASM 300, 361 arent 9.0+. I do enjoy seeing that all the issues arent 9.8 as i think too many focus on 9.8 or nothing. No hate intended in any way. Im dropping a like.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Thanks. I actually collect series as well. Most of my series collections are in my long boxes. I just finished getting the complete series of Star Wars and Star Trek (1st series). Working on getting the entire 1st series of Wonder Woman. What do you collect?

[@chickenfkeryay]

@@ComicCollectorGeek That star wars collection you have is a real cool and unique collection, so is the star trek. I also love hearing when people put together those marvel gi joe and transformers. Not many people putting together those runs in comparison to say ASM or batman. Iron man is by far my biggest. Im short only a few issues from 50-current. The issues im missing are the kerion gillen series and around 5 between 500-527. I want to put together 1-49 as now I make more money then when i put together 50-500. Avengers 500-current minus around 7 filler issues I am missing asm vol 3 otherwise I have 500-current I want to put together batman 400-current and detective 576-current but i have a bunch of fillers to fill it in. I focused on all the keys first TMNT current idw series 1-current

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@chickenfkeryay Sounds like you have a pretty impressive collection. I like Iron Man but only have a few of his key issues like Tales of Suspense 39 and Iron Man 1. As you can tell I really like the first appearances. I enjoyed the Iron Man and the Avengers movies.

[@chickenfkeryay]

@@ComicCollectorGeek Ya of all the stuff you got i noticed that IM1 and tales 39, that tales 39 grade you have 😮

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@chickenfkeryay It is a restored grade. There was a slight trimming of the edges. This really kills the price so I got a good deal on it.
