[@KingKonShow]

Thank you for the video and hope you had a great time. This was a solid show - our vendors are top of the line and included many of the big names you see at the mega conventions and also vendors you won’t see at some other shows. Our network has grown tremendously. That being said, this was our biggest venue to date and included big name artists - this was a big increase in our overall costs. Lee and Klaus said the show exceeded their expectations which was great to hear. The good thing is that we can learn from every show and make the proper adjustments for future shows. We are already working hard behind the scenes for next year. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the convention season! - Greg

I had a blast. It was a fantastic show with everything from amazing dollar bins to well priced wall books. I found some super rare Golden Age books and some steal of a deal from the dollar bins. I definitely look forward to the next one.

[@KingKonShow]

@@pop-comics Love to hear it! Means a lot.

[@tinakaranson6964]

Sean, it was great to see you and Jason on the hunt. Tons of cool books! I can't wait to see your haul from this. 👍🏻 😃

[@pop-comics]

We had a blast! Cannot wait to film the haul.

[@dbulls33]

Man! Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing it! Love when you go digging for cool books and make connections with the vendors!

[@pop-comics]

It is really fun hanging out at cons digging for rare books and chatting it up with vendors. I am super happy when I can capture that through video and share it.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Lovin' that raw BRonze era box you picked up!!

[@pop-comics]

Yeah that box was a great deal.

[@STASHdadtv]

Shout-out to the guy talking about savage dragon!

[@pop-comics]

I think it was another guy doing a youtube video so it might be on here somewhere.

[@jonr269]

know im alittle late on this one, but thank you for actually showing the books at a comic-con and not just walking around talking to people with comics being the back drop to your video. Countless videos of comic-cons people go to are on youtube with comics being just an after thought and never being able to actually see anything unless you stop the videos. But you did a proper video with doing a slow pan of Dealers Walls and then having the video showing whats in the boxes as you searched them which was really great even while you were talking to the dealers. These are the kind of videos i love to see, as its great to see what people are selling, what they are pricing them at and just helps with that overall itch many of us get when we have not been to a comic-con in awhile. def. going to make sure i watch your other vids, and one last thing. Thank you for not editing huge chunks your videos so we can see the full experience of you searching in these boxs and just seeing the con in general.

[@pop-comics]

That is exactly the type of video I want to see when I see con videos so its why I film and edit them that way. I just edit out the part where I might skip quickly and not look at much so its not too boring. But leave in all the fun looking and hunting so you feel like you saw a lot of what was at the con. All my con videos are like this so there is plenty for you to watch :)

[@jonr269]

@@pop-comicsthat’s great to hear, I know we all enjoy it. And that’s totally understanding with cutting out the boring parts where you don’t see anything worth looking at for cons. You plan to be at hero’s-con?

[@pop-comics]

Cant really afford to visit cons outside my general area, but Heroes is a con I really want to visit one day. Maybe next year.

[@andreworr4307]

That was an enjoyable hunt to watch Sean,and two long boxes of good books for $180,a steal in my eyes

[@pop-comics]

The long boxes of books were definitely a score.

[@NYToyLegend21]

Another Awesome Video!! I really learned a lot from them. I just bought 3 short boxes last weekend at South Carolina Comic Con.

[@pop-comics]

Nice, always fun buying boxes of comics at conventions.

[@lisafaltersack5535]

what one in sc?

[@leighwestfall1578]

I truly love the long format videos! Con videos are my favorite! you and I have similar interests in comics so I enjoy watching you dig through boxes.

[@pop-comics]

I think it works very well for comic content.

[@razorcomics]

Love Pop Comics! I taylor my show around Pops format. Such a good way to show off comic book hauls.

[@pop-comics]

I appreciate that you enjoy the channel, and I will have to check out your hauls.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Cant wait to see what you got looked like fun

[@pop-comics]

Its going to be a fun video to film.

[@dianabadillo2646]

Hi Sean, Sorry I just saw this pop up. Happy you're enjoying your Cosmics. Love some of the covers too. 👍

[@pop-comics]

Thank you, was a very fun show to go to.

[@Myroadtripandadventure.]

So cool!

[@pop-comics]

Thanks :)

[@CJsComicsandGames]

Now I want to see the haul video! 😃

[@pop-comics]

I need to film it still but cant wait to go through everything.

[@chi-tn]

Very Gary has some serious books

[@pop-comics]

He definitely had some sweet books on the wall.

[@peter2359]

Thank you for a really enjoyable video! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will be able to go to Pennsylvania and visit both Phantasm Comics and the new store.

[@pop-comics]

Might be a bit further then I can do in a day but maybe one day.

[@jasonfinestonecolors8859]

That's in New Hope? Took a train there once, wasn't too bad. We could drive it on less than two hours... Beautiful little town.

[@peter2359]

@@jasonfinestonecolors8859 Phantasm Comics is in New Hope. The new store is across the river, I think.

[@jasonfinestonecolors8859]

@@peter2359 Ah, yes! The new store is the one that opens in May in Lambertville, NJ that we're already hoping to go to!

[@peter2359]

@@jasonfinestonecolors8859 I hope you will make it. 👍🙂

[@STASHdadtv]

Did u pick up the ferel 1 exclusive for the con

[@pop-comics]

I did not, did not even know that was a thing.

[@jasonfinestonecolors8859]

D'oh! Me neither! I certainly would have grabbed one!

[@STASHdadtv]

Yeah it was a homage cover to the exorcist it was great looking

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Sean, always fun to watch you iffle through the boxes at Cons... Your searches are giving inspiration to my Steel City Con want list. Hoping to find some cool stuff this year.. Do you have a list with your for Archies or are you sort of guessing?

[@pop-comics]

I go by memory, usually if its golden age I am pretty good at remembering because its hard to find them cheaply so I remember them when I do find them. The silver I mostly just grab everything I see if the price is cheap enough or the grade is high for the price. If its a duplicate I can sell it for a profit etc. And then for Bronze and newer I just grab what has a great cover knowing if its a duplicate I can sell it etc. But for the most part 1970s and 80s issues I rather buy in bulk cheaply and fill in the runs for 50 cents or a dollar etc.

[@lewiszerro4212]

I’ve been really getting into your videos lately keep it up

[@pop-comics]

Fantastic, happy you enjoy them.

[@lewiszerro4212]

Can’t wait to see your next one hopefully soon

[@arthurtripp6922]

Try attending the Cradle Con here on Long Island. Its fun and friendly.

[@pop-comics]

Have no heard of it, I will have to look into it.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

A Katy Keene Over street? TREASURE!!

[@pop-comics]

Yeah that was fun to pick up, been meaning to get one so for $5 I was like year its time to get it.

[@jeffjones2463]

You got first cameo of Tim Drake and his first full appearance for a buck a piece? Lucky ;)

[@pop-comics]

Yeah, there were really good deals to be found.

[@masspeanut]

I hate it when vendors don’t price their books 🙄 great video, I love these long format ones 🎉

[@pop-comics]

It is frustrating when books are not priced. Usually in those situations I find books I know the value of very well, ask them what they want. If I get a price that seems reasonable or below market then I dig. If they quote me ebay asking price and not selling price then I walk away and find another spot to dig.

[@masspeanut]

That’s a great way of handling the situation 👌

[@thetoongrump9801]

Whew! I'll def have to make it out next year. This seems like my kind of event. Loads and loads of bins to dig through! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you lol EDIT: Welp, now I'm REALLY upset that I didn't go to King Kon. The prices on those Living Mummy's at 41:25 are outrageous! I would've scooped them up in a heartbeat

[@pop-comics]

Oh yeah it was a great show, had amazing dollar bins heck even 50 cent bins. Tons of nicer books and everything in between. It was a great show.

[@tizhead]

i have one dave stevens book i still need that i didnt buy for 30 the one day cause i noticed it for around 20 a few times. then i forgot about it. now it's listed for like 70 and up lol . so glad i snagged most of his stuff between 2020 and 2022. that documentary that came out was really moving. do you think his stuff will come back down?

[@pop-comics]

Yes the Documentary really has increased the demand for his books. I am really happy I picked up most of his stuff over the years, there might be a few left I need bit not 100% sure. Either way its cool seeing a surge in interest in his work. Such a great artist who died way too young.

[@tizhead]

@@pop-comics ive seen a bunch of his covers in your vids over the past few years. have you gotten most of them into a single box yet?

[@pop-comics]

No most I have mixed into my random Key Issues boxes, I should sort them all together to figure out if there is anything I need.

[@cesarosorio1057]

Huy divino me gustó mucho te amo 👍💋🤣💕♥️🛸🛸💯💯🚀🕶️😘😍🌹👏💖🤭👑💚💓🌈⚡🎂

Happy you enjoyed.

[@gregorious111]

Get Fantastic Four number 48 it is an interesting interesting book

[@pop-comics]

48 is a great issue. Pick one up over 2 years ago in a collection, you can see the haul here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnncmYyZjMSZY6s

[@thecollector6947]

This seems like a cool show! When you are buying comics do you have a specific genre that you try to hunt for or anything that jumps out at you or that completes sets?

[@pop-comics]

A little bit of it all. Specific issues to complete runs. Things way under valued for my shop. Golden Age books that are hard to find that I really want etc. I never know what I will buy because I buy the opportunity and not so much looking for any 1 specific book.

Someone told me funko pops are going 2 for 5 at cons these days

[@pop-comics]

Sales have been pretty healthy for me lately, market feels like its picking back up.

[@jeffreyskinkus6154]

Good to hear.

[@Crazecollector]

Hello. My friend has bought a big comic unit. And a lot she wants to sell. Interested? Unit is in Martinsburg WV

[@pop-comics]

That is probably further then I can go to pick up a collection. Curious though how many long boxes of comics and general idea what they want for them?

[@SidTravelBlogger]

I have comics from the 90s if ur interested

[@pop-comics]

1990s books I am not too interested in at this time unless you have the bigger keys issues like Batman Adventures 12 etc

[@Robert_Presto]

It didn't look too crowded there. Not a good thing for the vendors.

[@pop-comics]

Not sure how well vendors did, but I had a blast. It was the right size crowd for me.

[@amazingmurfinator6338]

As a vendor for the show, I can attest that King Kon 5 was very busy. I only had a minute towards the end of the day to actually walk the rest of the floor. Thank God for my hired help, to watch the booth and keep selling! Such an enjoyable show

[@pop-comics]

That is fantastic, I love shows when vendors do well.

[@jasonbevelander6322]

That carpet though...😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@pop-comics]

Hotel Carpet!

[@jelly_bean83]

Does your wife every go comic shopping

[@pop-comics]

She use to when we were younger but she does not enjoy it nearly as much as I do.

[@bryansegovia87]

Is it me or are CGC slabs becoming less attractive??

[@pop-comics]

I still like them, helps narrow the fair price down easier. Sometimes people way over grade their raw books so its a lot harder to negotiate.
