@vaniaLP89 Alas, shipping kills a lot of fun out of collecting, I'm pretty sure I've spent the price of a nice compact car on shipping alone during the last decade. Most online stores are very fair with their pricing, but they have to charge you what it costs themselves to ship it. But there is always Milehigh comics that offers free worldwide shipping when you buy over a certain dollar amount.
Wow that's quite a bit of comics there buddy. Mine is no where near that size. Probably half of one row lol. I noticed that even though I started last year, when I talked to those who have been reading them since a young age till now (usually around 20-35) their size is always 100x bigger than mine.
@breezeman199 It's almost 5000 comics now. I sold them to local collectors. As my entire collection consists of complete runs or series, it's pretty easy to sell in lots of a few hundred over a period of a few years.
@chromiumcomics You still have a great collection. I went to a comic store to sell some of mine. I knew the guy couldn't offer me retail prices, but i was still shocked at his low offer.
On the back of the comics-should I just use ''some'' tape? and also, my comic bags have like extra strip if oyu know what I mean so I just fold it..Is it like if oyu wanna put a piece of paper there saying what title it is or what issue? thanx for answers..:D :)
@Chris87913 I use Mylar comic bags, so no idea about other ones. Also never put tape on your comics, if you meant putting tape on comic bags...then always use magic tape. But it's better not to use tape at all and just fold the flap over and tuck it in behind the board.
@chromiumcomics Hey, I also wanted to ask (don't blame me for not knowing :D) I heard the ''Comic Book day'' is wednesday so If I am collecting Detective comics Batman for example, It comes out once a month on wednesday right?. and also :D So you don't use anything on teh back of ur bags? only fold it like you said? cuz I culdn't find any video like that.. Man, I am so confused ..:D : /
I commend you on organizing in such an understandable and orderly way! Never thought to use those boxes to hold my comics (I have very little). I love the labels, you did fantastic. :) Definitely beats piling them into a shoe box or some corner of your closet.
@Toasty667 Actually, he appears to only collect Marvel mainstream runs! The organization system he has employed it incredibly impressive; now all he needs to do is develop some taste!
I have always been a fan of comic book based movies and cartoons, and would like to start collecting/reading comics. I have never held or looked inside a comic book. How much of the writing in the books are the bubble dialogue and how much is the writing of the story? There are no comic book stores around me, so I will have to order the comic books and can't look inside the book
Great collection. I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers. 1. Where do you purchase your Mylar bags and boards because they can get expensive. 2.How did you make the individual book sleeves to fit on the shelves? Thanks
Hey dude. Beautiful collection you have seriously, but why don't you use standard comic book storage boxes? Those ones you have are pretty cool but I was just wondering because some of those have to be worth a whole lot. Intrinsically and in dollars.
@GlitchKillable I'm working on a new vid where I'm addressing just that, besides the comic book boxes just being plain and looking like mover's boxes they offer no conditional protection if your comics are already in Mylar. And the other thing is that comics in Mylar don't fit in regular comic boxes. Thanks for the kind words about the collection :)
@chromiumcomics Hmm...I guess I am just overprotective of my comics then lol and I've never had a problem fitting mylar bags into regular boxes. But then again I live in an apartment with a shit box for a roof so if it decided to coincidentally leak right over my boxes they would survive for a few more minutes until i could get to them haha. And your welcome. I'm sure you're a life long collector right?
@thomasr501 Thanks. Boxes are magazine-type boxes, most paper suppliers sell them. The labels are home-made using Photoshop. Most serious collectors are well over 30 and a lot of them are in their 50's...so you are the ideal age. It's a very expensive hobby and I can't see most teens or twenty-somethings blowing 100s or 1000s of dollars on comics.
@TheJimd327 I have no Wolverine comics alas, I only collect Marvel from 1961 to 1984, so all l have is the solo 4-parter from 1982 which isn't for sale. I would suggest you take a look at the milehigh website, they have hundreds of modern Wolverine comics and a lot are pretty cheap.
What did you use to make those book holders? It looks like it can hold about 10-20 books and its labeled. Also can you buy those or you made it and how did you make it?
@tkromano1 Because they look much better than regular short or long boxes that just hide the books. With this system I can find any book under one minute. Each box holds about 50 comics and are magazine-type boxes, most paper suppliers sell them. The labels are home-made using Photoshop.
Nice collection, man. My collection is made up of nothing but classic and modern day horror comic books, i've got everything from Tales from the Crypt, House of Mystery, Evil Ernie to Grimm Fairy Tales. Wish my collection was like that.
How did you get those containers which are character specific (ie. thor and avengers) and how much do you think you have spent in total on your comics?
@randomvideos64 Boxes are magazine-type boxes, most paper suppliers sell them. The labels are home-made using Photoshop.I have no idea how much I spent over the years, but I do know that current guide is about 6 figures.
@chromiumcomics not long considering you have like every comic book how much money time and effort was it to actually obtain all of these?? which one is your rarest comic btw?
@manbat106 Didn't take that long and the cost was reasonable. I think I did it all in about 5-6 years, series per series. I have no idea which is the rarest, I believe Hulk #1 is the rarest of the keys, but all keys are rare and expensive, so I would answer all the books that feature in my "Silver Age keys" video.
lol my collection is only like 3 rows about 450, i get them from a friend of mine who has TONS of boxes just gotta pick them up, all dc cause he got them from his friend who works at dc and he dont want them anymore. ill make a vid of it i got some collectors stuff that i think was cool
another reason why i like your collection is not just because its huge its not full of golden age and silver age only which on most videos thats all i seem to be seeing in peoples collections it gets kinda boreing with no modern ones
:O And I thought mine was big... But I have mostly trade paperbacks and hardcovers... I have very few valuables issues (Spiderman #1 Platinum edition, Uncanny X-men #300 signed by JRJR, X-Factor (vol1) #1, Excalibur (Vol.1) #1) but I love them. :)
@unholychunk A full run of Batman would cost you a small fortune, Batman #1 is at east $12 - $15K in GOOD condition...and don't forget it's over 700 issues and 71 years running. If you want an idea, you can check out milehighcomics website
@chromiumcomics i ment a full run as in just one story i dont read comics cuz its like continued in next issu but 20 issues wuld b one story deff dont want every batman book ever made
When you said "down-size to 7500 books" were you saying that as in you really were trying to down size, or trying to brag about your collection, saying that "yeah, 7500 is downsizing to me, its only the equivalant of an entire comic store that is moderately small, no big"
@Comickid1000 I really have downsized to just over 7500 comics, at a certain point I had nearly 15.000 comics which is just plain silly and takes way too much space. Almost everything that isn't Marvel is gone now and so are 90% of all comics from 1985 through to 2001. Getting a lot of comics isn't really that hard, plenty of people selling 10.000+ comics in one lot on eBay, the trick is to go for quality not quantity. Why would someone brag about how many comic books they own ?
@chromiumcomics My comment was intended not to be taken seriously, but it was still somewhat serious considering the time and efferot people put into their comic collections. I knew what you meant when you said downsizing, but it just seems pretty amazing seeing your collection because my local comic store does not have that much inventory (in hindsight, the comic store is really small)
lol, i like comics but i cant get them from a store, theres none around where i live, i have to download them from stores on my ipod, lol, nice collection though
@amartinez97 Because I don't like them...I've owned most of them and have sold them all. For me Marvel started to get bad with Secret Wars, endless crossovers, huge changes to the character, retcons etc...For me Marvel is prime from 1961 - 1985 (FF #1 to Secret Wars #1). I read and enjoy modern comic books, as you can see from my hardcovers, but just not Marvel.
@sentaiaddict I've read on some of the comments that you collect comic books before 1985. I am curious why? and you don't read the today's story arcs. I'm currently reading Spider-Man:Big Time and The Uncanny X-Force.
@sentaiaddict big time is amazing! so much better than brand new day. I would reccomend fantastic four 587 aswell because i think this time that when someone dies they're keeping he or she dead.
@MyachiMach3Myachi hey thanks man. I really like Big-Time. It's because Peter Parker is not that struggling anymore. And I've been trying to complete the Singles of One Moment in Time #638-#641. I love the cover art of each. Iv'e seen some promos of the FF. I know someone will die but forever dead, that's the one I don't know.
hey there. I need your help in understanding something. WHen collecting comics. Do you try for whole runs from 1 to x or start in middle or like what if it is very far into the series. do you only read books that are new series.
@SuperheroNerd213 I originally started to collect complete series. Like Amazing Spider-man 1-500, FF 1-500 etc...
Once I had done this, I decided to sell everything that was post-1985. So now I have all the runs from #1 to #250 or the last issue that came out before 1985.
Buy the keys first, then get the rest. I don't collect or read any new series (after 1985)
Can you tell me the name of the big one on the 2nd shelf (bottom to top) in the left side of the white one? Zoom at 1:22.
In the 4th shelf (bottom to top) is the great one: Sandman, Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Planetary and what is the name of the Pink one and the other? At 1:25.
One more, what is that 10 volume edition that is in the shelf below the top one? At 1:28.
I'll be glad if you answer me all these questions. Thank you.
i gotta say..wow. where did you buy all those comics? do you know any online comic store that offers cheap international shipping?

When you said "down-size to 7500 books" were you saying that as in you really were trying to down size, or trying to brag about your collection, saying that "yeah, 7500 is downsizing to me, its only the equivalant of an entire comic store that is moderately small, no big"
Comickid1000 10 months ago
@Comickid1000 I really have downsized to just over 7500 comics, at a certain point I had nearly 15.000 comics which is just plain silly and takes way too much space. Almost everything that isn't Marvel is gone now and so are 90% of all comics from 1985 through to 2001. Getting a lot of comics isn't really that hard, plenty of people selling 10.000+ comics in one lot on eBay, the trick is to go for quality not quantity. Why would someone brag about how many comic books they own ?

@chromiumcomics My comment was intended not to be taken seriously, but it was still somewhat serious considering the time and efferot people put into their comic collections. I knew what you meant when you said downsizing, but it just seems pretty amazing seeing your collection because my local comic store does not have that much inventory (in hindsight, the comic store is really small)

why do you not buy any new comics after 1985?
amartinez97 1 year ago
@amartinez97 Because I don't like them...I've owned most of them and have sold them all. For me Marvel started to get bad with Secret Wars, endless crossovers, huge changes to the character, retcons etc...For me Marvel is prime from 1961 - 1985 (FF #1 to Secret Wars #1). I read and enjoy modern comic books, as you can see from my hardcovers, but just not Marvel.

Awesome. If I die, I hope God made heaven like this for us Comic Book Nerds. And we get to talk to Jack Kirby, Bob Kane and others.

@sentaiaddict I'd be happy just to sit quietly and watch Jack Kirby and Wally Wood draw...
chromiumcomics 1 year ago
@sentaiaddict I've read on some of the comments that you collect comic books before 1985. I am curious why? and you don't read the today's story arcs. I'm currently reading Spider-Man:Big Time and The Uncanny X-Force.
sentaiaddict 1 year ago
@sentaiaddict big time is amazing! so much better than brand new day. I would reccomend fantastic four 587 aswell because i think this time that when someone dies they're keeping he or she dead.
MyachiMach3Myachi 1 year ago
@MyachiMach3Myachi hey thanks man. I really like Big-Time. It's because Peter Parker is not that struggling anymore. And I've been trying to complete the Singles of One Moment in Time #638-#641. I love the cover art of each. Iv'e seen some promos of the FF. I know someone will die but forever dead, that's the one I don't know.

hey there. I need your help in understanding something. WHen collecting comics. Do you try for whole runs from 1 to x or start in middle or like what if it is very far into the series. do you only read books that are new series.
SuperheroNerd213 1 year ago
@SuperheroNerd213 I originally started to collect complete series. Like Amazing Spider-man 1-500, FF 1-500 etc...
Once I had done this, I decided to sell everything that was post-1985. So now I have all the runs from #1 to #250 or the last issue that came out before 1985.
Buy the keys first, then get the rest. I don't collect or read any new series (after 1985)

Hi guy, a huge colletion.
Can you tell me the name of the big one on the 2nd shelf (bottom to top) in the left side of the white one? Zoom at 1:22.
In the 4th shelf (bottom to top) is the great one: Sandman, Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Planetary and what is the name of the Pink one and the other? At 1:25.
One more, what is that 10 volume edition that is in the shelf below the top one? At 1:28.
I'll be glad if you answer me all these questions. Thank you.
