That’s what I’m shooting for! I’ll have another Back in the Day Top 10 coming out next weekend (9/7-9/8)!

Thanks for watching Eric! I’m glad you enjoy the content! Research is a big part of it, along with trying to get back out of the rabbit holes I go down while researching! 🤣

Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you liked the video! I’ve got several years of previous Top 10s if you want to go down the rabbit hole!

@@CoMoComicBooks I will for sure thank you Sir.

Welcome to the channel! If you’re interested in learning about a lot of off the beaten path books, check out the channel’s library. There are years worth of quarterly budget and “big” top 10s for you. Values will be questionable at this point, but the info on what and why is still good! Thanks for watching and subscribing!!!

Go ahead, rub it in. I grew up with the Clone Saga, Age of Apocalypse, and late stage 90s Image books. 😭😭😭 Sorry, that just my envy talking. Thanks for watching!

@@CoMoComicBooks At least you had those spiffy gold foil hologram lenticular covers. 😉

Well, at least y'all were smart enough to buy comics, I blew all my fonds on women!

Yep! Those Kuberts had Wolverine and the X-Men on lock for a while there.

Thanks for the kind words Rob! One of the goals I had when I started the channel was to try and educate my viewers about the books beyond just what they’re worth or why they might be a key. So I’m always happy to see comments like this one!

HEAVY grit up in there! Thanks for watching!

Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed the list Jason! Thanks for checking it out!

What in the Macendale are you talking about??? 🤣

@@CoMoComicBooks 😂😂😂

Thanks for watching! Glad I picked a book you enjoy!

Appreciate that. Some content creators say I’m not funny at all… 💩🪿 🤣

@@CoMoComicBooks they just don’t know but I am spreading the word. 😁

I think I’ve talked about Xeno1 before, but (best I can tell) this is the first time I’ve talked about DR8. I’m just a sucker for dinosaurs 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for watching Jason!!!

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve got the new ECs waiting in my pull at my LCS, but o haven’t been able to swing by for a bit to pick them up.

I have no doubt that I would enjoy it if I were ever able to dive in. It’s definitely my kind of story. Maybe I’ll get a collection of the TPBs in a collection sometime and give it a read.

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the list!

Yeah, I know. Giving away good secrets for years at this point! Thanks for watching!

Lmao nothing is hidden anymore, thankfully. Hate that mentality. It's why comic lovers gained the "don't talk about it" mentality. Keeping us shut ins and loners. Unlike the 60s and 70s (at least from my understanding), where kids talked about everything with everyone else and friendships grew from a common interest. Everyone is so busy trying to one up everyone else. When they should be shouting from the rooftops! At least, in my opinion.

@@robphoenix1182 I was joking. Glad that channels like this exist to share gems.

@@jrucker4181 Ah, my bad. Direct text tends to not convey proper context sometimes. 🫡

Already working on the next three for the summer series! Stay tuned!

That’s the goal! Sometimes I will break down and talk about the flavor of the week or some of the usual suspects, but I just can’t talk about the same ol stuff week after week. I’m glad that you’re getting value out of the videos!!!

That’s great! Welcome to the hobby! It can break your heart or make you feel like a million bucks, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun along the way.

It could be any number of things. Condition. Facsimile. Reprinting. Graded examples in the highest grade often get a substantial premium, especially for key issues.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoy this new series.

It was a great time to be reading! My pull was $75-100 a week easy!

Both of the Big 2 had some good stuff going on, Image was starting to really get some traction, and smaller publishers were starting to pick back up too. It was a pretty decent time to be reading and collecting!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks for the kind words and support!

Christmas in July is a thing. We can make this work.

⁠@@CoMoComicBooks 100% I saw Halloween candy out three weeks ago 😅 I paid the $700 for my 8.5 X-Men 50 from my LCS I saw a beautiful 9.6 on EBay nobody wanted cause it had a detached staple so CGC gave it a green label I wouldn’t mind getting another 8.5 at the lower price I wanted a TMNT 2 last year but I’m kinda hold off now cause I’m looking into finding a 2nd print issue 1 in my price range

Nothing wrong with getting a copy of the 2nd, but value-wise it will never touch the 1st.

9.8 will be the new 9.6.

You know, as I was editing the video I caught that too. The mansion is definitely a thing, but for some reason my brain defaulted to the tower when I was writing this one.

@@CoMoComicBooks I was just curious because I'm not really familiar with anything past the Copper Age as far as Avengers goes and if they relocated I wouldn't know about it. In the movies I think they are operating out of a skyscraper as opposed to a Mansion.. Idk.

Yeah, I mention that in the video. 😉These are also done in arrears. Ideally, this would have come out last month right as we officially moved from Spring to Summer.

Nice! I’m glad you got to experience that!

I’ve wondered that myself before. My best guess would be that it was an oops on the color guide, but that’s just speculation.

Work for hire definitely gave the upper hand to the comic companies. Somebody came up with each and every one of those logos and, despite of how many ways that logo has been used since, it was just a one time job.

It will be interesting to see where it stabilizes at for the long term. It was definitely overinflated during the boom and I’m just happy for the people who want a copy who might be able to better afford one now.

Thanks for watching.

Welcome back to the hobby George! It’s a buyers market at the moment, so it’s a pretty decent time to pick it back up.

They were just a couple of dudes scraping by and were already living the dream when they were able to put out the first issue. Little did they know what was in store for them. As for Swampy, it’s hard to beat a good Wrightson cover!

I've ventured into the realm of self publishing with limited funds and just getting your book printed is an accomplishment. Before computers we has to do a lot more work and the chances of being successful were slim.

No one could have predicted tmnt being this huge. I was a tmnt fanatic as a kid but I thought the franchise died out in the mid 90s. It still surprises me seeing every new incarnation and how much staying power it has had.

SO. MANY. COPIES. I have two that I bought off the shelf the day it came out. I’ve never bought another one since, surprisingly.

Don't waste your money. That book only has artificial value

It’s not a book that appeals to me a lot either. I was all in on Ultimate Spider-Man at the time, so I picked it up in my pull, just like I had been doing with Ultimate Spider-Man up to that point. USM was the title that got me back into comics and I hated to see it come to an end.

UF4 is not on my list either. Nor is NM 98 - unless I can get a CDN Variant for $100.

Seriously, it’s what separates this channel from the others 🙌

I sacrificed grade on my first Cap100 for cover whiteness. The one I passed was definitely higher grade, but the eye appeal was drastically lower than the copy I picked up, due to the issue’s trademark tanning. In all seriousness, try and find a convention in your area that Steranko is at. You may have to stand in line for a bit, but as soon as you’re in earshot, you’ll stop caring that you’re waiting. The man is probably the smallest adult male in the room, but his presence is gargantuan. I kid you not, I’ve stood in line with friends before JUST to hear more stories. You pay for the signature(s), but the real prize is the story he will share with you.

I saw Gerry Conway and said "Why did you kill off Gwen Stacy??" He just laughed. :)

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

That may be my favorite issue. 😁

Oh yeah! No shortage of related materials to check out. Unfortunately, the internet killed that branch of the hobby off.

Playing catch up! I also shifted the timing around to where (ideally) the Big Top 10 should come out right as the season is ending. I’m just a bit behind with finishing off spring and we’re going to roll right into the summer series after the next Big Top 10 comes out (hopefully on Saturday).

@@CoMoComicBooks Well, great content as always. I love your mantra, “Collect Responsibly”, even though I don’t always follow it.😂

@@MichaelHollen it’s a lot to live up to! 🤣 Especially for me.
