Buying a Comic Book Collection in Plastic Bins

I bought a comic book collection that was kept in plastic bins. You never know what you'll find or where you'll find it.

I would bag and board those keys right away!

[@WolfPartyProductions]

What great collection! Dang. This is the type of collection that you must dream of finding when you pull up to meet a rando in a parking lot. I hope you looked up the R. Crumb and Zap books. Those have some value as well.

[@BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAthroggofthunder]

I have to say, it’s nice hearing the giddy surprise while you’re going through this collection. I feel that’s been missing, in a lot of the reveals for collections lately. 🙏👍

[@jcali2121]

That X-men 191 is the first appearance of Nimrod

[@speccollector9740]

Getting the swagger back!! Great Price...still fair but a great deal even though you have to do lots of work to move it.

[@danielps6328]

love those Marshall Rogers Detective Comics! NOT crazy about the toilet paper!

[@user-tk9fb3sd4n]

I would honestly say you've kinda hit 11:42 the jackpot with lots of key issues. Tht Sandman is worth quite a bit. I think the purple version.

[@billstreet39]

I saw a few underground comics like the Motor City Comics 1 it’s the 50c issue…. If it’s in fn + condition it could be 100.00….. most of those books have a low print run

[@RonDale-jy8et]

I'd be willing to bet this was a reader's collection. LOTS of cool books!! Nice haul! I have no idea how you're pricing all of this!! Thanks for letting us see these!!

[@machetef7985]

Badger #15, one of my favorite characters and covers when I was a kid! #16 being my favorite.

[@ottebya]

would love to hear the story of how this collection came together hehe, such a random mix of books

[@jplosky]

If that Zap is a first printing, that's like a $1000 book

[@leeniren3706]

Those were some amazing books for someone to just give you out of trust that you would pay him what they’re worth. this is what our community should always be about.

[@gibzman2]

Now THAT was fun! Really enjoyed your journey of mystery through those boxes!! Can't wait to see how they grade out.

[@VeryGaryComics]

Can't wait!

[@duffelupagus]

A great piece of trivia about that Astonishing Tales #25. Not only is it the first appearance of Deathlok, but the backup story has the first published work of George Perez.

[@darylrogers2626]

Merry Christmas everyone 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[@lilyverilla4431]

Not even mentioning the classic undergrounds! R Crumb covers on snatch and zap and mister natural, motor city comics, all very collectible.

[@anthonylowney1395]

the young ones only care about the keyssss

[@joe3019772008]

super awesome hauls, broheim. lots of those comics i had in my younger years.

[@LChaosNINTsP]

The "Ugh I touched it" made me laugh. Great video, surprising books!

[@user-ww4td6mu8p]

I need that marvel chillers 7!

[@darrenmorin3084]

Definitely more keys in this video than in that entire 12 or 13 part mega collection you went thru! 😅 Definitely got it all for a great price.... Gonna need alot of TLC on most of those keys! My eyes were all buldging when you got to the last bin and I saw that 129 just sitting there! Holy crap that was unexpected!

[@joshscomics01]

Love the video Gary some great finds, but I think you left out Batman Family # 17 one of the last books. it's the 1st team up of Catwoman and Poison Ivy.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

TOMB OF DRACULA was awesome!!

[@patfrat666]

Nice surprises and some nice lo-grade runs -- someone wants those. Glad to see these older books and not the overpriced trash variant one-in-whatevers that pass for collectible comics today. (Sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but I am GenX old and cranky...)

[@TravisLaurenceNaught]

Dammit, I'm yelling at the screen because it's been a few months since I've gotten anything even remotely like this! One big thing you need to look at in those ages: Mark Jewelers? I found a collection in totes like this that was filled with them at the end of 2022

[@irishbeatbox]

Those Steve Englehart Marshall Rogers/Terry Austin Detective books are amazing

[@ccculture9681]

That zap comics was an earlier printing with a .35 cover. You should check that out.

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Throw-ins: Plastic bins and 2 free shirts!!

[@JohnnyGoodz]

That's just crazy! Cool find. Hope you got a good deal.

[@grass_low]

What a amazing purchase.. great comics I’m still looking to secure in my own pc … 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@wayneweidman1543]

Low grade keys sell faster than high grade filler. Nice pickup!

[@mattmatthew7148]

It's nice how you can spend 10 thousand or $500 on comics, and look down on comics the average person can buy. You make it like, why bother? You must have an understanding wife!

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

Please put link to eBay store in description. thank you. Nice little haul. Have a Merry Christmas. 🎄

[@geraldlee7055]

Gary, when I first saw the storing condition of this collection. I said to myself, "This will not end good." But to my astonishment, towards the end, I was expecting an AF #15 to pop up. 😂😮😊👍

[@halfdrawnpe]

With seeing how these were stored, i wasn't expecting what i saw. There's some really good keys and books in here. Just wish they may have been stored a little better with board's

[@TheHartViper]

Wow, almost more keys than the recent 48 box marathon collection! Sad to see those books in that condition but low grade better than no grade. Great video Gary, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@geekimusprime]

Good price for the lot! Nothing like old sticky bags with no boards 😂

[@natashavanilla8170]

The foreign one seems to be Dutch, not German. If it has a big JP on the bottom left, it is. Stands for the publisher Juniorpress.

[@thesheppy77]

Man I would love those Elfquest books!

[@williambourque926]

Marvel Chillers 7 with Tigra is the final issue of that series. In an 9.8 it's got some excellent value - a complete set is for sale atm on the bay for 90$ or best offer so there's some desire for it.

[@big_burly_bro]

19:15 skimmed past an ASM 31... 1st Gwen and 1st Harry.

[@CecilLammey34]

Damn! great find Gary!

[@rebeccapeters295]

The funky ones are Robert crumb books

[@marcpatten4318]

The Adventure Comics 451 with Aquaman and Starro on the Cover is a minor Key- First App. of Starro since the silver age and the first major story with the character since Brave and Bold 28 (1st JLA) The Batman Family 17 is the first team of Poison Ivy and Catwoman (and 1st “80pg Dollar Comic”). Also check out the Sgt Rock and GI Combat books- DC war have some minor keys, and there are a ton of hard core war comic fans that just want reader copies to fill runs. Fun Collection!!

[@3DPrintedProps]

HA! Love the shirt, I work in Utica!!

[@charlielarson2407]

You know you skipped over X-Men 191 the first appearance of nimrod in comic book

[@aaronprince876]

Uncanny Xmen 191 is 1st Nimrod 16:57

[@BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAthroggofthunder]

Edit to add….. 19:00you stumble onto New Mutants 24 which has a Demon Bear cover only…. 17:22 Rampaging Hulk books might have very early Walt Simonson work for Marvel… not sure about the numbers he worked on though…,

[@marcovendetti3373]

You're very lucky Gary! I'm jealous.👍

[@thxlopez]

Bro this bins are awesome I mean wow also xmen 191 nimrod fist appearance

[@berkfamily54]

You should do more KZbin auctions and live sales if you aren’t moving them on whatnot.

[@VeryGaryComics]

Ill be posting more on my new ebay store after the new year.

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

A dream collection regardless of grades.

[@calebleland8390]

That was awesome. I couldn't believe it when you opened that tote and found the ASM 129. Great little pickup. Are the magazines worth much? I see them quite a bit at my LCS but I don't know much about them other than the Creepy issues.

[@ShuggsComicsandStatues]

Hey! Good Video, shame about the moaning about the Grades, most people would love to Buy a Collection like that

[@kalidd811]

I prefer lots like this over bagged and boarded boxes. Usually means they don't know what they have and you can find some hidden treasures.

[@TheRickHoward]

Gary, if you see this, I will take any Whiz Kids, radio shack comics. I know they aren't valuable, but its what I'm collecting LOL

[@Ghostin93]

yeah, I would pay that price for this collection all day lol

[@christopherwilliams2385]

When you say, "disgusting", you do realize that some of us cannot afford the highest grade condition? I understand you are buying these and wish that they are in highest condition possible but many collectors love some of these books and would love to have any copy even if they are not in the best of shape.

[@VeryGaryComics]

When I say disgusting, i mean the dirt and grime. Not the condition. I say in a bunch of videos how low grade is just affordable. I also say low grade is better than no grade. It's alot easier to move a low condition key than it is to move a higher grade.

[@christopherwilliams2385]

Thank you for replying. I like your videos but sometimes it seems like you are only interested in top tier stuff. You are so knowledgeable and a big part of the community. I love finding old comics and yes, sometimes they are so filthy but they are also treasures!@@VeryGaryComics

[@damegto]

I bought a “disgusting” 3.0 of this book and paid almost 1k.!!! 😢. But it looks beautiful on my wall.

[@mattcarper9853]

I have to imagine that for every one of these successes, there are a dozen failures that aren't catalogued. Pretty fun. I live for finding things like this, but since I am not an influencer....well...no such luck.

[@VeryGaryComics]

I've done videos on bad collection finds as well. I record everything I come across.

[@HalfmoonsPicks]

You skipped by Champions #14-15 (July 1977) the first swarm appearance.

[@uglyewok6715]

When do we get to the plastic bin with the dismembered body parts in it?

[@illscribe]

I'll take the ASM 129 in that condition

[@Sinsightful]

Rampaging Hulk 27 and Omega the Unknown 7 are both Action Comics 1 homages

[@shepherdsknoll]

Purple Sandman 1 worth some $

[@HeySpanky]

@1917 did you just skip right over ASM 31?!!

[@silas34]

No, it's a Marvel Tales

[@buzbox1563]

Isnt one of those Dreadstars a key?

[@live_free_or_die7260]

I can smell those comics from here.

[@6sand743]

The foreign Spider-man is a Dutch issue.

[@bronzevillecomics2581]

How much do you think the flannel shirt would sell for on whatnot?

[@rohn-zc5sx]

Wow 😲 a lot of keys maybe not in good shape but still lowe grade is better than a no grade

[@RonDale-jy8et]

Why is he giving you clothes. I don't think you're a House Elf...

[@NotSoAmazing]

Seems risky. What happens if he said "no" to your price? And he wanted you to return them?

[@VeryGaryComics]

I guess we would have met up again. It was really strange.

[@isaacdominguez474]

I got my hands on big lot of comics fro the 70s and 80s. How do i find out theyre value?

[@VeryGaryComics]

Ebay sold listings

[@MalevolentBite]

$600 !!!! 😮 he took that deal? My god.

[@jessebeutler6317]

Epic 10 is a key

[@linalleybri]

You went past xmen 191. First nimrod. $30 book.

[@GlebNerzhin]

Are you not familiar with underground comics?

[@dakoitcave817]

That Strange Tales may be one of the most ugly covers ever- that’s why Gamora’s first appearance isn’t worth more. Or Nebulas for that matter.

[@Space32495]

10:41

[@SkullyTheHypnoSkull]

People only care about keys. People don't read them. All a key is, is a guy coming up with a reason to charge more for what a comic is actually worth.

[@silas34]

'Actually worth'... whatever people are willing to pay is what it's 'actually worth'

[@bignothing909]

why don't u jus do ur own website?. stop paying commissions on eBay and what not.

[@fiery_fred_furniss9569]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn!!!!

[@ChienandKun]

Watching you (or really any comic youtuber) handle books makes me cringe.

[@DanQR5]

stop throwing comics after you showed them. Please! We can hear the plop sound it's so loud!

[@joshuaclark1930]

"funky books" ..........those are head and shoulders better than 95% of the "good" stuff you bought. Underground comix changed everything in the 70s, for the proper art of comics, the sequential art respect that galleries give now. Crumb et al are at the pinnacle of the progress seen ever since. Do some research, dork.

[@VeryGaryComics]

When I run into a collection like this I record the video first to keep it as organic as possible. Once the video is recorded I start the research on the books I'm not sure about. Instead of insults maybe you should have dropped some knowledge.

[@josecrespo3437]
