There is absolutely no hyperbole in that statement. There was a comic shop in Bethlehem PA called Dreamscape and it was a shit show. Piles and piles of arbitrarily placed books and collectibles. But if you asked the owner Nick if he had a copy of Avengers 291 he would pause and then reply “over to the left there’s a table with magic cards. Beneath the table there is an Eaglemoss hulk figure. It’s in the pile of comics underneath it.”

I was a customer of a store EXACTLY like this one when I lived in another state for six months. I walk in the alley side door where the owner was at the back door smoking a cigarette, pet the store cat and then wander around. Our relationship was so connected at one point , he let me go down to the basement. Boxes and more boxes! He said ," look around , if you find your DD #1 or anything you want , we can negotiate a price later."

When I make someone pull out a bunch of stacks for me, I always buy a few books, even if I don't want em. The cheapest ones of course. Just to make it worth their time. That's why no one ever 'treats me like s*'. I know nobody thinks this way. People will dig through a whole shop, take books out the plastic, then just walk out. I was glad you took that Watchmen at least. If I were making money off filming people's stores, I would buy a stack everywhere I went. Instead of freeloading content from their place and leaving.

Actually, it's places like this that have catapulted the price of comics so high. There are a lot of stores and dealers like this. Mile High Comics is sitting on 12 million comics and the owner keeps buying collections. He says no one in the family wants to run the business when he dies. Probably a group of dealers will buy out his collection to keep this goldmine from hitting the market.

Now, almost 40 years later I have a reasonably massive collection but nothing ultra rare because I buy the stuff I like to read and what I like to read doesn't sell for thousands.

That Superboy 2 (2011) with Poison Ivy is a sought after book. I would be curious as to how much for that one for instance.

I’ve been in a few in different states.. Spaces like Benders are treasure troves! They’re loaded with history. Not just in books, but from the days before all this technology.. The days when we bought to complete our collections, before the movies, before the foolishness of spec. The grumpy owner that warmed up to us “annoying” kids once we returned a few times.. They knew everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! BEAUTIFUL POST!!!!

I Love Action Comics, one of my favorite titles! Although I do prefer Marvel.

I moved to Eugene, Oregon from a small MN town with no shop and went into the 1st one I found in the phone book. When I walked in with my dad the guy behind the counter had just laid a slice of pizza on a stack of comics he was working on while the pizza box balanced on some other piles. I looked at my dad and said No, we walked out and went to the 2nd shop in the phone book where I set up a pull box for my monthly comics. I had to cancel a few months later when I went to work for a new shop that opened a few blocks from my house. I worked there for 12yrs.

@ChesterNutter I knew all I had to....he treated the shop owners books like crap, how would he treat mine If I shopped there? Didn't have to find out cause I started a box at the shop I worked at. Where I got everything at cost

The most legendary comic store in the LA area was Gary's Corner Bookstore. It was even crazier than this as it was an old OG comic store that had been open decades so there were boxes on boxes on boxes. It was the famous store on San Gabriel Blvd. that had big superhero murals on the side of the building.

I'll never forget the 70's and 80's all the best comics and offered at a reasonable price, I can't justify spending a bag on comics anymore, there's a few places online I can read them digitally where they are all organized and I have to admit it's so much better than old paper comics.

As a casual comic book fan who loved reading and collecting in the 90, I’ve found myself wondering into comic shops over the last 24 years and totally relate to the feeling of being treated like shit, and quite literally scoffed at. Has made me feel very wary about going into any, but recently I went to Top 5 Comics in Glenwood Springs CO and had a great time. The owner of that shop is younger, but reminds me so much of the owner in this video. The shop also has that quirky, unorganized, boxes stacked to the ceiling vibe, which is actually so absolutely endearing. Loved this video, and thank you for your time in putting it together.

Not as dumpy as the "dumpiest" game store I have seen. the old "Zocchi's " in Biloxi , Ms back around 1980. That place had a wood screen door and an old scuffed up wood floor . But you could luck out and not only run into Lou Zocchi, but I did see Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz (IIRC) there twice, either playing games with Lou or discussing game/dice designs.

Are they ever going to do a Bronze Age and Silver Age Omnibus series of War Comics, such as G.I. Combat, Our Army At War, Weird War Tales, Sgt. Rock. I had a love-hate relationship with war comics because I loved the Germans and they always got killed.

When I 1st started collecting in "82" Just moved to Phoebus, when I met him, called him Mr. Weaver, now that I'm older it's Dave, he had the most amazing books back then. He had an amazing 4 for a buck section, a lot of my collection was from his store till I moved to Florida in my teens. Took a minute to make my way back to Bender's when I moved back to VA. He still remember my name. Great store

I'm a reseller. My Top 3 sources are EXACTLY like Dave's Shop! Unorganized, chaos, crap everywhere, dirty, and prices all over the place, etc. One of those places that you can spend 2-hours looking and still not see it all! I get my best inventory and best deals from them!

Why is everything DC and Marvel? Where are all the cool comics made by Gold Key, Dell and Charlton? That is a good shop. I love all those silver age ones. The shops here in NJ suck. If I was there I would have bought a lot. How come you don't give the address or show him? How come you didn't buy any? You are highly selective and picky. Does he sell on ebay?

I always wondered if CGC red flags comic KZbinrs submissions that speak truths about their inadequacies. Not to say you do anymore than anyone else, but it's kinda sus. I think we may be in the midst of the end of an era with CGC. Not worth the time, money, stress, gamble ect

Straight up, my OCD would have me making separate piles of titles and putting all the books in numerical for either the most boring KZbin video ever, or the best ASMR posting for collectors ever made.
