“Affordable keys” is an oxymoron. If it’s a real key, it’s expensive.

Not sure why you think that. There are tons of first appearances, which are considered keys, that are not very expensive. You can get the first appearance of Lobo and Apocalypse for under 50$, hell under 30$ if you look hard enough. Those sound like keys to me. Darker image 1, under 10$, first Maxx, sounds like a key there. Youngblood #2, first Prophet, under 5$!!! Lots of examples!

Nice list. But the way you slam those books is exactly why I don’t buy raw. Strictly graded. “Signed by McFarlane”... no certification?🤨

It's the reason you should use proper fitting bags and boards. You don't have to worry then. As long as your not throwing them across the room or buying trash protection. Buying strictly graded you're missing out on some gems. Met Todd McFarlane, got books signed. No reason for certification, they are mine, I have the personal experience (and video proof), no plans on selling them.
@gno_b_neno71826 жыл бұрын
Great video. I love these kind of videos. Made me target a couple books to put on my radar. Had to laugh at the Green Lantern book currently MIA. Could talk volumes about those books..... such as, even though they sold a TON of Spawn #1, I think lots of people got pissed they didn't instantly increase in value and might have trashed them. Also as I understand it, the NEWSSTAND version is currently pretty pricey in top condition. Hope the new movie does the character justice - it should now that CGI has caught up with the pages. Only thing that might sink it is if McFarlane ego gets the best of the project. I love me some TM, but his ego is his biggest asset AND detriment all at the same time.
@ComicVantage6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! i am planning a part 2 already. That is very true about the newsstand editions. I have not been able to get a Spawn 1, but I have gotten ahold of a newsstand of #9, first Angela. As far as the movie, the more I hear of it the less enthused I am. Its sounding more and more like a movie i'm just going to wait for video release.
