NYCC 2022 - Hunting for Comic Books at The New York Comic Con (Bad Idea Protest)

[@chi-tn]

You don't realize how common some books are until you go to a Comic Con

[@pop-comics]

Yeah some stuff even key issues is super common.

[@kevinkelley3906]

If I can find a few to fill in some holes I would be so happy. It's a extreme rush when you find them.

[@hollyt8677]

I always like how close the comic community feels, friends for life, thank you for posting this video.

[@pop-comics]

Yes its absolutely wonderful!

[@ErikPeterCarlson]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Going to conventions gives me an extraordinary amount of anxiety because I just lose focus and I want everything. I actually worry that I wouldn’t have self-control videos like this really are wonderful.

[@pop-comics]

I have no self control so I end up spending way too much, but its so much fun for me kinda worth it. And I get things for cheaper then if I had to buy them on ebay so there is savings in a way even though I spent so much haha Happy you enjoy the video and my anxiety in life is always high so I totally understand. So many great artist there this year its been amazing.

[@arthurtripp6922]

SOME OF THOSE WINGS HAVE GREAT LEE ELIAS ARTWORK.

[@pop-comics]

I agree love both. Currently trying to collect both runs.

[@bigdebo7289]

This is exactly the content I subbed for a year ago. I love these vids.

[@pop-comics]

Awesome, In my heart I would love to do this type of content every day, one day I will get there. Just need a budget to travel the world for cons haha

[@tinakaranson6964]

Thanks for doing an awesome, fun video! So enjoyable to see you flip thru all those books. Cool that you found the other Sean. 👍

[@pop-comics]

You are very welcome, we had so much fun and the video was a ton of fun to make.

[@Robert_Presto]

Best video at the Con is this one ! I'm watching this video in pieces, a little at a time, when i get the time !

[@pop-comics]

Happy you are enjoying it, I hope to make an epic one for each day.

Man, this looks like a heIIa awesome fun time...🤗 I'd love to go to one of these hype events...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@pop-comics]

It was amazing fun.

@@pop-comics That Video will be the videos of the Month easily for me...Look forward to it enjoy Just a thought are you going to break it down? Like Day one this is what I get etc

[@pop-comics]

Yeah exactly like I did it last year. What I bought each day, how much I paid for each item, and why I choose to buy which item etc.

[@natashavanilla8170]

Love it! One minute in, already like the video! Looking forward to your video's every day! ^^

[@pop-comics]

Awesome happy you enjoy them. I hope to have an epic video for each day of the con.

[@Vp-jt3vl]

Really enjoy this content, keep it up.

[@pop-comics]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@BoxedUpComics]

This video got me hyped up even more for New York comicon. I’m not used to conventions having that many comic books anymore, can’t wait to be there in a week from now.

[@pop-comics]

I am hyped yo myself, NYCC is my favorite week of the year.

[@jasonfinestonecolors8859]

I was hoping you'd do a video like this! I much prefer watching this from the comfort of my own couch to buying a ticket and standing in lines at Javitz! Keep 'em coming!

[@pop-comics]

Haha the lines blow balls so bad. But I find hunting for comics actually is not as bad as the other stuff. Happy I can make a long fun video to bring you along.

[@jasonkeener2442]

I so jealous. Looks like a lot of fun. That One Piece statue is so cool. Happy hunting.

[@pop-comics]

I had a blast, today as well. Hopefully you can make a con in the future its so much fun. And yeah that statue is crazy amazing.

[@daviclar867]

Just thought of a funny skit while watching this. Guy goes to his first comic con and after awhile realizes he finds looking through boxes of books boring and tiresome. So, he decides he'll just look over other people's shoulder and when he sees a book he wants he says, "excuse me, I've been looking for that book. Will you hand it to me please?". I envision Cozmo Kramer doing this. Lol

[@pop-comics]

Haha funny thing is that happens for real sometimes, sometimes people get really aggressive and start digging the box your going through haha. You got to put your foot down and speak up abit because that is so uncool lol

[@glynstimpson]

Hello Sean great video has always very enjoyable thanks very much

[@pop-comics]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@leebalmforth2269]

Wow I wish I could have been there. So many beautiful comics. I love the wings covers 👍😁

[@pop-comics]

NYCC is always a blast, but in reality I am sure any local comic conventions would be a ton of fun.

[@jerrythejitterbugcomicbook4098]

Wow. Thank you for bringing me along with you!

[@pop-comics]

Haha You were definitely there in my heart, I think I showed more Whiz and Captain Marvel comics then I normally would haha, One Mention of Captain Aero or Aerio and a Witchcraft 5 sighting lol

[@ComicHaulicsChannel]

Wish we could have gone! This video helped though as it made it feel as though we were there 😁

[@pop-comics]

Hopefully next time!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

Great video...I felt like I was at the NYCC. There were so many golden age books you flipped through that I would have loved to have gotten.

[@pop-comics]

Yeah I am sure a New York Comic Con trip for you would lead to a huge giant pile of comics haha. Many many golden age deals to be had, some stuff way over price but so much at fair market and some deals way below market if you hunt a ton.

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

@@pop-comics I was pausing the video a lot and checking the stick prices. Some good deals but you are right lots over priced. Your friend skipped over a book I think he would have loved. Crown Comics 6, Matt Baker cover. I think it was his first cover.

[@pop-comics]

Oh if Crown #6 is Matt Bakers first cover I am gonna let him know I think he would love to buy it if its $500 ish. Thanks for the heads up.

[@A_Heathen]

One i can tell you and Shawn have a good friendship you guys were just vibing and having fun always awesome to see because i have no comic Friends near me or basically friends in general because all my buddies i met in the military so they live all over the place sadly

[@pop-comics]

Yeah it always fun hunting comics with Sean. Its hard finding friends, not something I do naturally so when I find one I latch on haha.

[@Pica-79usa]

YOU PAST UP REAL FACT COMICS WITH FIRST TOMMY TOMORROW STORY AS AN ASTRONAUT IT HAD 4 STORYS RUN BEFORE HE MOVED TO ACTION COMICS. THEY HAD HIM IN A WATER GLOBE SO HE WAS NOT CRUSHED BY ROCKET PRESSURE.

[@pop-comics]

sounds interesting.

THEY PUT HIM IN A GLOBAL WATER WITH AIR TUBE BECAUSE THE THE ROCKET WOULD CRUSH HIM. OUR FIRST ASTRONAUT. STILL LOVE THE FIRST BLACK CAT STORYLINE BY HARVEY COMICS WITH ARTWORK BY LEE ELLIS LATER TO WORK ON GREEN ARROW AND DESTROYS THE ADAM STRANGE SERIES. BUT THE TOMMY TOMORROW WAS A GREAT READ.

Price or condition was not right for me

The 44 min mark,That red sonja cover 🔥🔥🔥

I think that one was a NYCC exclusive I was debating on getting it, really nice cover.

[@russellsmith6498]

I’m going tomorrow!! Been going since 2010 (was weird when COVID canceled it 2020). Can’t wait to hunt for horror and sci-fi

[@pop-comics]

Awesome, I hope you find a ton of amazing deals and or amazing things you really want.

[@lawrencepearson5655]

Hi! Which booth did you make your second buy at (the two Wings books- love the bomber cover with the searchlights)? Also curious where you were looking at the original art and the slabbed Jungle Comics (the guys you were asking about their Katy Keene art). Thanks and fun video!

[@pop-comics]

Dave and Adams I think was the booth with the original art, the second booth was right across from vistory comics forget the name, and the slabbed comics I think the booth name is written all over the back of the boxes so you shoulkd be able to pick that up. It was a few rows down from victory

[@lawrencepearson5655]

@@pop-comics Thanks, man! Always trying to find good golden age dealers. Can be tough to find. Hope you had a good Con.

[@jvmbuarque]

I live in Brazil, and our Comic-Con is relatively big, but we don't have this culture of back issues here. I think it's very sad, our comic shops are more like libraries of comics and even in our Comic Con (Comic Con Experience/CCXP), we don't find these editions :/ Bcs of this I love when I visit USA to go to comic shops; I started my comic collection this year, and I am saving money to go back to Florida, to go to the Coliseum of Comics, to buy tons of comics hahahahaha

[@pop-comics]

Oh man not having access to back issues must make it hard to collect comics. Are there places you can find them like used book stores or thrift shops?

[@jvmbuarque]

@@pop-comics some stores sell, but isn't enough. But literally TODAY I found a seller in a small city of São Paulo, who I think is original from Florida, who sells some old comics, from Silver Age and etc, who sells the comics for good prices (bcs here in Brasil some sebos, stores that sells used books, and the best places to found old comics, sells for high prices, and is rare comics from the USA). I'll be a current client, and next month I'll begin buying a 1960's comic from Doom Patrol. I think that's awesome. But the USA is always the best way to buy back issues. Oh, I said it's rare to find comics from the USA in sebos, but I found some comics from Image and Miracleman from Moore, from Eclipse publisher, no. 2 (from 3 reais each, something like 60 cents!!)

[@pop-comics]

If you ever get bored and want to send me some pictures of your local shop in ig I would love seeing that. I am always curious about comic shop from around the world.

[@jvmbuarque]

@@pop-comics I'll send it!! How can I send the pictures? I can send pictures of the comic shops and the sebos!

If great video and keep them coming

[@pop-comics]

Thank you. I definitely want to do this again.

[@adavis688]

i love your videos but man do we have different tastes in comics lol you keep flicking right past books and i'm like oh wait I want that!

[@pop-comics]

I am sure I enjoy a lot of the stuff you do, but I might have it already haha When I am at cons I focus on things that I dont see in collections that I want etc. Most mainstream things such as Batman and Spider-man comics everyone collects so I get those already in collections are rarely collect them on purpose etc. What stuff are you into?

[@12hokage40]

Wish I could go learn the basics of the hunt😂

[@pop-comics]

Feel free to ask questions, I did a video last year with some tips and tricks on how I hunt at the con.

[@killafrog124]

Didn't get the goods like you did, but got me some comics this week. ❤️

[@pop-comics]

Very cool! Always fun to get comics

[@killafrog124]

@@pop-comics the best. expecially when it's undervalued that's even better.

[@ronhobbs463]

I realize I have too much when I have all the Matt Baker books on display and in better grade. Other GGA too.

[@pop-comics]

Just means you have a wonderful collection.

[@RawB_P]

ive never gone digging at a Con.. are Con prices pretty close to FMV? or is there a bit of a premium because its a con?

[@pop-comics]

Key issues tend to have a premium, everything else is hit or miss. I can find booths with $3 golden age comics that should be $20 each and then other booths with the same comics for $40 etc lol But its huge there are so many vendors there that if you hunt around you will find great deals. My advice is to always check for what you know and if they priced that stuff farely or cheap then you can expect the rest of the stuff to be the same. If they over price I move on.

[@RawB_P]

@@pop-comics this is great advice thank you!!!

[@blackstaff798]

Looks like it might have been a1'st edition of Killing Joke you went past at 3:40.

[@pop-comics]

Most likely, I have a few in my collection so I dont even notice it anymore unless its in a dollar bin or $5 bin etc

[@Utubesanarc]

I'm getting interested in those Catman classic comics. The only problem is they're outside my price range😿

[@pop-comics]

Yeah they look awesome but would need a plan to buy. If you really want them you might have to sell some cheaper items from your collection until you can afford.

[@1337pino]

Rangers Comics #26 is something I've been hunting for, but geeze $1600 for a raw 6.5?? That's way too high imo

[@pop-comics]

Yeah does feel a tad high.

[@seamonkey22]

I always want to wonder what are the standard at comic con when I see "these people"

[@pop-comics]

What exactly are you asking?

[@joeymontanez3249]

Call me crazy, but I get a feeling your buddy likes the black characters,lol. I do too, so I really have no point, Haha. I know it's an older video, but I've just found the channel recently. I've never been to any sort of convention in my life. 38 years. One time I went to like an international festival in a convention center,lol. That would literally be it. This is not a cheap hobby, and I am poor. I feel like I'd be in trouble. I wouldn't be able to choose what I wanted with my budget, and would probably have to buy something and leave so I don't get upset when I see something else. I'd be tapped out once I saw some EC books most likely. I can't believe the value on those things.

[@pop-comics]

Comics can get expensive, my best advice is if you want to collect but have a tight budget is to only hit dollar bins. Try to build the best collection you can enjoy $1 at a time. With $10-$20 a week budget you can have 1-2 long boxes of comics to read and enjoy every year. My friend Sean loves all comics in general but he has put more focus into Black Characters the last few years because he does not have enough space to collect everything.
