[@murdock8694]

Holy crap, man. Awesome books! It's not about condition, it's about owning a copy of a book you love. Thanks for sharing, just subbed!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Matt Murdock thanks so much man. That's what I'm saying. I'll buy and love these books for the right price regardless of condition.

[@Achilles5937]

Alex the Comic Hoarder Nice collection, man. Excellent book choices. Don't know if you know but the first real appearance of Rocket Raccoon was in Marvel Preview 7 and technically the first real appearance of Apocalypse was in Marvel Graphic Novel 17.

[@manfrombeantown724]

nice books my friend. I just was watching peoples older vids today and stumbled across this. You definitely have a killer collection. Great stuff.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

ManFromBeantown oh thanks man. I love going back to people older older videos too

[@toddpolanski5064]

For your last comic, I thought for sure you were going to whip out a Hulk 181...

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Todd Polanski I wish. I have never owned a 181. I have owned a 180 and a 182. I have been so close to pulling the trigger on one, but haven't. Someday maybe! Thanks for watching.

[@ScreaminModelKits]

Not all of us have 5k to drop on a single comic lol

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Interesting I was just recommended this video. I guess youtube is recommending older videos now. Great to see this video because I know your collection has grown a lot since this video. Still your collection was very nice.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Yes! My collection is 100% different from this old video, but honestly this is where my channel originated from.

[@joshuasky8041]

Dude! What is the name of that resale shop you bought all those key comics at? Please let me know!

[@nixknacks-comics]

Does my heart good to see this old video of yours. (I don't know why it popped up in my feed.) I've been jealous of others' production values. There hope for me yet!

[@glensiu2315]

Amazing selection of comics, I like to join you on your next comic buying spree.. Look forward to your next videos

[@LRHSLakewoodLive]

What state(s) are you shopping in for some of these finds? In SE Florida I can find next to nothing in the bargain bins. Just TONS of 90's Image and Marvel stock.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

I frequent most shops in Illinois, Missouri, some in Kentucky and some in Indiana. There is a lot of stuff in these states!

[@unslabbed8862]

Sick books Alex.. Some real shit there.. Jesus and all those doubles an trips I think I drooled on my phone.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Unslabbed88 I can't believe I didn't respond to you yet. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it man. I'm a fan of yours for sure.

[@ErnieMack19]

What protection are those comics in? Are they hard plastic? Can you link where to buy?

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Jeff Kakowski they are in Ultra Pro Comic Top Loaders

[@mykhull]

I was wondering too

[@anon-1505]

Where do u get your comics from ? The best comics I've found were krypton chronicles 1 and a few silver age ones. Lol

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Zac Temp thanks for watching and commenting. I get most of my comics from local shops. There are a ton of shops in the state I live and in other near by states. That's the best blade for me. Then used book stores and antique stores. You can also check hobby shops, used CD shops and collectible card shops. They have comics sometimes. Best of luck in your hunt!

[@ChrisLee-on3ro]

Great collection!(..although,I have to disagree on the first gambit..)--Question,Do you have Iron Man #55?(..First Thanos?)--Bought a raw back in '93..for 50 bucks i think..(Slabbed it's probably a 5.5 or 6.0..((could probably bump that to 6.5 or 7 after clean and Press-Just sold it for $350,cheap,to a long time buddy and collector.) But yeah man,love your channel,..keep 'em coming! 🥰

[@ChrisLee-on3ro]

Wow that punisher was faded!🤪🥴😵‍💫🤯

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Thanks Chris. I do not have iron man 55. I’ve never owned that book to be honest.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

A lot of these books are long gone too. It seems like every time I do a top 50 I purge the collection and go for new stuff.

[@MrRigamortis86]

great books. the multiple copies of first cable had me dry heave for envy haha. I hav the gold cover, so I cant cry lol, great set up. youve got a dean caine superman vibe that's pretty cool haha hava good weekend u hoarder lol :)

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

MrRigamortis86 haha. Everyone tells me I look like dean Cain. He is cool and I take that as a huge compliment. Take care friend.

[@jeremyhong6087]

To grade or not to grade, that is the question. You've got a load of great books! Wondering, when do you personally decide to have them graded or not. I have a nice collection of silver and bronze that I collected back in the late 80s and some key issues (ie FF 48 and hulk 181, AS 129, X-men 94). Been out of collecting the last 33 years. (Dang I'm old). As I was watching your video I noticed none of them were graded, which lead me to ask.

[@williamhammock4821]

Well I have a 5 year old, and a baby on the way, so I'm trying to slab all my books and get them a high on a shelf as possible. Depends if you you have kids/ grand kids. Another possible good reason to slab is that you can take cell phone pics of your cgc numbers, and register them with gocollect.com. Also might help in case of natural disaster or theft.

[@themightyjabba5790]

MAN! You've got a few in there I need to get!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Kapow Entertainment, LLC haha broseph. You have some that I need too. Cough cough!!! Trade?

[@latenite.comics]

Hello 🤯 This is crazy video I wish I got into collecting much sooner. I wasted so much money on other crap 😭

[@sirpuss5887]

I got keys of mine own, but it looks like I got some ways to go.

[@chrisnudge3687]

Did your issues of Amazing Spiderman 238 have the tattoos?

[@alpertroncp2198]

I've never understood multiple copies myself. Maybe it's just because I'm on a budget - who knows?

[@literallyunderrated]

Me neither, although if its a variant (like one direct copy and one newsstand) I sometimes keep them back to back in the same bag

[@jjforeal2]

Why 15 thumbs down? Haters gonna hate 😐. Great choices. Lucky for you that kid wrote on the white parts of showcase 32. Break out the eraser ✏️

[@Doty_Designs]

Nice top comics man! Love the spidey ones

[@onlycomicfans9862]

I am so jealous you can just scoop up all these comics. In the UK keys are so hard to come by and EXPENSIVE !

[@timz9862]

So, just an idea, but you might want to say why they are in your top 50, the value, or whatever. Just showing them on cam doesn’t mean anything to someone that doesn’t know anything about the comics you’re showing.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Tim Z I appreciate the feedback. Good suggestion.

[@gacj2253]

hey i have mylites 2 standar bags with full backs i will need a top loader gold to fit a standar comic for example aquaman new 52?

[@mr.e3768]

where do you get your cases?

[@Infamous41]

Its hard to find a nm graded asm 194 for some reason! Great collection

[@irishdylan1993]

Can I buy one of those asm 361’s off you

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Unfortunately, all of those are long gone.

[@amidnightghost]

What kind of top loaders are those?

[@anonymoussage1125]

good video!

[@KyleWaaka]

wow great books

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Kyle Waaka thanks Kyle. This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to start making videos, because of the Lightning2288 tag video over a year ago. I was just a watcher back then, but I have always loved people's top 50 vids. Do you have one?

[@jwalt8902]

Nice books!

[@josemejia3662]

Uncanny X-Men #201 Cable

[@jeremyg371]

Wow, you've got some great books. It's like my collection from when I was young all over again. thx for sharing that with us & have a great day. Oh and if you get a chance I just started making comic related videos if you could throw me a view and like it would be cool if not no biggy. thx again.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Comic Guy subbed you! I'll check out the videos. Thanks for the head up!!

[@ascendedzoom4998]

hey would you trade a copy of new mutants 87

[@jgone1433]

Awesome collection...you have a bunch of gems!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Thanks so much. I will redo this video, because a lot has changed since then. I still have all these books, but i have added a ton more. Thanks again!

[@CrashLanden]

I rewatch this every soften to see how I'm doing. I think I have 35 of these now (27 a year ago)...

[@vincru12000]

You definetly have a nice collectikn. Especially love the First Supergirl, 2nd Hal Jordan and Flash 123

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

vincru12000 thanks so much. I appreciate it. I don't have any of the major grails, but if I would stop being a hoarder maybe I could trade or sell off all my doubles and get an x-men 1, Avengers 1 or ASM 1. Low grade of course.

[@WolfenFox77]

Man to think I watched this about month ago and actually commented, and watched this back in April/May when I got outta college for the Summer and had free time, then came back to the video just so show support and sub up! Glad you inspired me to share my passions man, just gotta say you rock and you sure make a lot of people happy and full of insightful comic history and knowledge and a genuine guy!! Cheers Alex!! Just watching it again to see what comics you value the most! :)

I have a captain marvel 1 it's a 12 cent cover the one with holocaust on the front.....it I'm rough shape but decent....how much do u think it's worth.

@@AlextheComicHoarder ...let me know what grade your New Mutants #87 comes back as

[@MrJohnnyTracy]

Hey man, first my question: Could you assist me with what product/sleeve you are protecting your comics? I've been using mylites 2 with backing. Since finding my 90s collection of books from my younger days, that nostalgia bug bit me and got me collecting again. So over the last year+ I've been picking up some valuable books now that I have some more means to do so, and I certainly want to protect those investments. I like those thicker sleeves in this video. If you see this, thanks for the help. I appreciate the positive vibes in your vids.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

John Tracy thanks for the comment. My favorite way to protect comics is this: if the book is a modern I love to try and put it in a current sized Mylite 2 and full back and then put it into a ultra pro top loader. If it’s a silver age or Bronze Age book I just use mylite 2 standard size and fullback. Collecting can certainly be addicting and fun. Thanks for watching and let me know if you need anything.

[@MrJohnnyTracy]

Alex the Comic Hoarder , Oh wow, lots of options online... what size ultra pro top loader do you recommend? Thanks again for the help!

[@batcavecomics4499]

Awesome video, I'm very late to the party. Just discovered this comic community a few months ago and have been catching up on videos. Just subbed. Great stuff , thinking about making one. Thanks for inspiration.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Batcave Comics thanks for watching and subbing. This top 50 would look quite different today. I need to redo it. Check out my haul from a few days ago. You'll see.

[@batcavecomics4499]

Alex the Comic Hoarder watching 1 now. IF you have any suggestions for a first video for me to do would love to here it.

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Batcave Comics make sure to title it appropriately. Be excited about what you are showing. You'll do great. When you do make it send me a link to it.

[@batcavecomics4499]

awesome collection Alex! it's funny because I remember a couple years ago I passed on a Batman Adventures 12 for $100 thinking "damn, 100 bucks for a modern age book, I'll pass until it goes down" lmao, how I so regret that decision! damn book never went down, just up and up. I really would like to eventually get a ToS 52, Superman 123 and Flash 123 especially a Flash 123! I want that book soooo bad lol. Great vid bro. makes me want to do vids again lol

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Dude...You did not just comment on my video!!!! I'm such a huge fan of yours. I have been watching you and Lightning for years and mention you all several times throughout my videos. Your story of going with Rich to that craigslist haul and the dude had comics in a tent!!!!! i died man. I so miss watching your videos and Lightning2288. You guys were my entertainment and motivation for a lot of the books I have in my collection. please keep in touch.

[@OmegaShinRyuKen]

Alex the Comic Hoarder Thanks a lot Alex I really appreciate that. It makes me really happy that me and Rich were able to motivate and inspire you with our vids, just as guys like Mercenaut, Herohunter81 and Captain Strangelife did for us. Man, I really wish we had filmed that Craigslist find just so you guys could've actually seen it lmao! I actually have a stack of books that's been sitting around ready to be shown in a haul video just haven't got around to it because I had some life stuff come up. Watching your vids have definitely motivated me to do another vid and get back out there and start hunting again! So thank you Alex for motivating me!!! No worries my friend I'll definitely keep in touch with you. Keep doing awesome vids bro and I have to say you have a killer collection man! Good stuff bro!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Gustavo Puente they are called Top Loaders. I think Ultra pro makes them and you can find them on eBay! Shouldn't be much more than a dollar a piece. Maybe less.

[@Achilles5937]

Gustavo Puente BCW makes them. They are golden age toploaders. Backboarded and sleeved Silver age books will fit perfectly for double protection and extra rigity. Do not get the Silver age top loader, it will not fit the silver age Backboarded and sleeved comics. The golden age top loaders are bigger and will easily fit them.

The first appearance of Mystique was in MS.MARVEL #16, I know because it's the hole in my Ms.Marvel collection that is too expensive for me to fill! the fact that Avengers Annual #10 was Rogue's first appearance was merely added value. My motivation was Claremont resolving what was done to Ms.Marvel in AVENGERS #200!
