This Is The Biggest Comic Book Collection I've Ever Bought! Unveiling My MASSIVE Comic Book Haul!

[@rushdiehard8784]

I'm in the midst of getting rid of 35 000 books...slowly retiring from the hobby...I'm 51...and 35 years of collecting is enough...very nice pick ups!!

[@ThereCanBeOnlyVaughn]

Oh goodness good luck! That’s the amount I have too 😅

[@anthonythomasexperience]

Are you selling?

[@uglyewok6715]

That’s a big issue.. lots of men our age will be flooding the market with massive collections. I do not see the generational numbers behind us to buy it all up.

[@rushdiehard8784]

@@anthonythomasexperience yes here and there...slowly

[@rushdiehard8784]

I'm keeping 2500 keys mega keys and grails....and then slowly sell those until I reach 1000 and then keep those 1000

[@comiccrazy3]

That Walking Dead 1 is my grail comic! So awesome- curious if the seller knew his values as just what you have shown in this video are worth thousands of dollars. Amazing find and so excited for you!

[@CoMoComicBooks]

He definitely did. He watches a lot of comic content and had been collecting for 25-30 years. He went through and calculated what he wanted out of the collection and that’s what he received. I think we were both happy with the deal. I was more nervous about it than he was since I was the one trading dollars for comics in this market, but I think it will work out just fine.

[@michaelsaritelli]

I just spent my lunch with you (it was so worth it). I feel like you are speaking to us one on one. Like a friend. I wish you success on the sales, and I love that you found a "few" items for yourself. I really enjoy this channel.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Thanks so much Michael! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the channel!

This was so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I was pretty excited about it. Tons of work, but a lot of fun too, and hopefully some decent profit down the road as well.

[@robphoenix1182]

That is too awesome! That collection looks like what I want my collection to be.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

It was quite a collection the seller had put together!

[@staticxtreme27]

Congrats on the pickups, Drew! Definitely some monsters in there, I've been wanting an Evil Ernie 1 for years, eventually I'll find my copy!

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Keep after it! They’re still out there.

[@miguelh4750]

Big Score Drew !!!! Congrats. I want to buy a collection but will start off smaller maybe 1500-2000 max. Can't wait to see how this plays out in the coming months...

[@CoMoComicBooks]

It can definitely be a little overwhelming with the bigger ones like this. Space to work/sort is the main issue in my experience.

[@irishdylan1993]

What a gold mine with the TMNT slabs. What an awesome collection just from this little sample showing

[@CoMoComicBooks]

The first two things the seller and I discussed were the TMNT books and the Walking Dead run. I knew I was pretty much all in at that point.

[@DanielGoldMcduckRose]

I might try that dollar thing once I knock most of profit out. Just working in grading books now.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Gotta churn through the bulk. One way or another.

[@Fenimore.Cassidy]

Doorway to Nightmare! Have been looking for that series for a while now. Great snag!

[@CoMoComicBooks]

I was more than thrilled to find it! It’s a weird experience finding quality DC stuff in a collection. It’s a pretty rare thing around here.

[@BrysComics]

Grats on the awesome score my friend!

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Thanks man! You know how it is, we love the grind!

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Thanks Nathan! It was definitely a good day!

[@jasonsalazar7126]

So happy for you. Love the collection pick up . Solid books in there Plus there's definitely still more to be found I'm sure you'll find some hidden treasures. !

[@CoMoComicBooks]

The number of $5/$10/$20 books is really taking me by surprise. There are a lot of modern books out there that are flying well below my radar.

[@jasonsalazar7126]

@@CoMoComicBooks I constantly check prices on keycollector or use clz to find keys and then eBay for recent sales. Just so time consuming . I'm actually going through what I have left from my uncle and figuring out whats 9.8 candidates . So far about 30 books out of one shortbox . Everything else has got to be very high grade but not a 9.8 unfortunately

[@Doombot2.0]

All you guys are nuts. I have like 300 books. I'm feeling size envy.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

This is inventory! My PC is just barely 5,000 books and I’ve been at this for 30+ years at this point. Just because a collection is small(er), doesn’t mean it’s not good!

[@ASH9EXR]

You both rock 😂😂😂

[@artenthusiast5936]

what a great collection. i'm looking to get some collections too, but i notice that a lot of people who sell their collections aren't necessarily willing to sell to nondealers. which is crazy when i think that people could probably get the most money from the nondealers

[@CoMoComicBooks]

That’s a thing. Collectors are definitely more likely to pay more than dealers. A 25% drop off of retail is a good deal for a collector, but on a bulk collection as a dealer 25% isn’t going to cut it.

[@jesselynch1928]

Lots of work Drew. Have fun man. We don’t travel any more. But “eat soMe Barbeque”. is sure tempting. Great Video.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Definitely a lot of work still ahead, but it’s also forced me to get more deliberate with my storage and to step up and enhance that side of things, which will be beneficial in the long run. As for the BBQ, we’ll be hitting Q39 and Jack Stack while we’re in town!

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Sandman 8 is such a good story! 🙌

It is and is going to continue to be a lot of work, but it’s about the most fun kind of work there is.

[@SequentialGeek]

Hi, were you in Midwest In Panels documentary? I think I saw you there... I just saw the vid from Lamont At Large about Clint Comics, and I hope more people are aware of what happened, and treat their shops more like jewelry stores, but either way, Clint was cool as $hit in that documentary, he was too young, my sympathies, and much respect. Thanks for the 411! Peace

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Wasn’t me! I know a few of the store owners that were featured, but I wasn’t in the doc.

[@SequentialGeek]

@@CoMoComicBooks Pardon me, my bad. Well, if you could pass the word on that new vid Lamont At Large made, that'd be cool... I dont know them but it seems like the word should be passed on... Thanks, Peace

[@davidsamuelson2089]

What do you think those books might grade out? There’s a chasm of difference on all moderns between 9.8 and literally every other grade.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

No idea David. I don’t slab the majority of the books I sell. I am hoping that the Walking Dead 1 comes back a 9.8 though!

[@erisi236]

sweet, 17,000 copies of YoungBlood number 1

[@CoMoComicBooks]

[@mythirdlife101]

Wow, i've been dreading filming a video on a full short box that I bought. I can't imagine going through that many. Good luck

[@CoMoComicBooks]

I just had to get through most of it a time or two and make sure I’d found most of the best stuff. Now it’s more about finding the hidden gems and sorting out the discount stuff.

[@leeniren3706]

I want to see the other books that you did not show one can only imagine the hidden gems that is still left to be found

[@CoMoComicBooks]

There is a lot of pretty cool stuff, that’s for sure! I’m going back through and pricing the better box stock that I’ve pulled and re-badged and boarded now. I’ve got about 4 long boxes worth this far and it’s quite a bit of $15-$50 stuff.

[@michaeltan4204]

That is great 👏. Nice saga of the swam thing 37.

[@davidsamuelson2089]

People that are trying to unload thousands of raw books in a single sale are going to be in for a shock. The people willing to take 99% of those lots that are essentially worthless are really going to aim for keys in super high grade. A dealer will offer you a penny on the dollar if you’re lucky and there aren’t the people out there doing runs anymore.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Wholesale pricing is definitely a real thing. There are definitely still some run builders out there, though they aren’t as plentiful as they once were.

[@davidsamuelson2089]

@@CoMoComicBooks I used to go through raw book larger collections people said they only wanted to sell only as a group, and more often than not the collections would have runs up until the valuable books and those were always gone. Ex. Bronze & up ASM runs missing 238, 298 thru 312, 361, etc. as soon as I saw that pattern, I politely told them I’m not interested as you know they were already cherry picked. If they had a decent book it was usually beat.

[@baroqueobama6199]

I don’t know why kids today don’t read that many comic books?

[@CoMoComicBooks]

The end of newsstand distribution, or the extreme diminishing of it, is a leading factor. So many kids grow up without having the organic exposure to comics like we did when we were kids. Every grocery store and a good number of convenience stores had spinner racks or a comics section on the magazine stand for comics. If you’re not in a town that’s big enough to support a LCS today, or don’t have parents that are willing to take you to the LCS, you’re never going to have the necessary exposure to get into comics at a young age.

[@etristanb2007]

17,000 all post silver age books.... That would be a hard pass from me. Just not a fan of so much of the newer stuff, it sits on shelves forever and has to be marked down to nothing in comic book shops to sell for a reason. I'd gladly buy the selection of rare and valuable comics but I would have to leave all the rest. Some great finds in there though, especially the slabbed E&L TMNT, quite jealous of those.

[@CoMoComicBooks]

Price it right and it doesn’t sit long!
