we start doing it and let me give you a layer of the land that's what i've been doing usually when we're doing these shoots and basically we're into the second phase of introducing live streaming into the repertoire of what we're going to do and this is basically the third video that we're doing which is shooting on an hd camera recording on a lapel mic right i'm going to do that using hello david how are you doing welcome welcome and this is the angle we're going to use this one when we when i'm going to show you guys a live stream and i have a whole bunch of charts that are going to be popping up here like tables and charts and stuff and i'm basically going to show you the comic books here okay but until we get going and that's the basically same angle i got i got a sort of an external camera setup showing here with for the live stream and the hd camera sitting on top i you know i can do this actually let me do this let me show to you because one of the reasons i'm doing this is because i want people to know what it is that i'm doing hopefully i'm not going to mess anything up you see the two cameras here this one is the live stream one that we're going to see and this one is the hd camera that we're recording on okay and there's a mic here i'm not going to rotate it anymore the the laptop and there's you know i have my live stream mic set up here and that's what you're hearing the sound from and the lapel mic is going to record on to a recorder where we're going to you know overlay it with the video with the hd camera and edit stuff okay and angered hello hello welcome back and thank you for the twitch prime sub awesome awesome hey chi chou it's been a little while hey fascar how are you doing yeah i got busy with the school year right with the students and stuff and organizing and just taking a little breather a few days of a little breather always a pleasure thanks i'm good uh taking a few days breather and recouping and sort of doing certain things on the back end and trying to figure out how we're going to roll all listen to play right it's definitely challenging it's definitely fun the learning process has been amazing for me guys i'm loving this right totally loving it doing good man school is done so i'm just taking life easy awesome that's good man congrats finishing it congrats finishing it man it's a huge load off right what a breather you're out of jail now you can decide on what you want to do with the tools the information that you require there's a lot more coming of course right basically as far as i'm concerned education the first role of education should really be to teach people how to teach themselves right that should be the first goal of education unfortunately that's not the way it's set up for elementary and high school anyway post-secondary your own your own too for the most part anyway for the most part anyway okay so we're about six minutes in gang should we give people a little bit more time to pop in i think we should start the comic book haul i've been waiting to crack this thing open for like i don't know how many days now like five days now right i had a hard time finding one of the websites that contain a lot of information that i was looking for right so just so you know all the tables and the charts well one of the charts i ended up making but the tables the data that i'm going to present in this comic book haul video i'm going to provide links in the description of the video once we load it on to uh bitch shoot youtube and wherever it's going right so there'll be links directing you to this basically the data that we're going to present in this comic book haul video and we're definitely going to take a look at the covers and i'm going to give you a little bit of history regarding this right because this comic book haul is valiance okay so before we get going i gotta set myself up with my external mic let me set this up i'm sort of i get myself sort of boxed in when i'm doing these videos so i have to sort of move a little slow just to make sure i'm not gonna topple anything over let me turn the song and i need to put tape on this guy because i've been with me for a while so to make the connection better i need to have this on here i have to sort of give it a little bit of pull i'm not sure how much longer this will last but for now it's doing okay we'll take it right this is all i do right put a little tape over the thing and whenever i do tape i sort of do a little like this so it's easier to pull off right and i do too and i go under it as well go around right go around under it the batteries should be good fingers crossed famous last words right let's do this i want to change the angle i'm going to do a little bit of movement saw poor condition action comics one go for around 150 000 on ebay recently nice you know what when it comes it comes down to it assuming that the population of the planet is going to grow assuming that history is going to repeat itself human artifacts are collectibles and action comics number one is a collectible if i had 150 000 dollars just laying around i had all the equipment i needed everything you know home bought and paid for and i didn't have any debt or anything like this at 150 000 let's see i had 200 000 dollars sitting on the side i would not be holding on to the cash well right now maybe because we're in bubble everything right so you do need a little bit of cash since this this comic book all is going to talk about unless me so i'm going to get into this a little bit since um in bubble times you want to hold on to cash because when prices collapse you need you know you can buy things up but if you have extra money human artifacts art is worth investing in for multiple reasons one of them is because it's collectibles rarity the other one is our current economic system is based on laundering money so there's a lot of money being laundered through art through human artifacts through collectibles right so unless that changes then investing in art is a good idea hello double alvis what's up chichou it's been a while since i've uh caught caught you live been super busy during the summer hope you're doing well i'm doing well blur thank you very much now the school season's ended and i got a comic book video comic book all right now i'm super happy super happy okay so guys i'm going to change the angle and the odds are i'm not going to read comments i might if i need to take a little break if i need to gather my thoughts or something the odds are i'm not going to read comments while we're doing the video shoot but when we finish the video shoot you know once i stop the dvd or hd camera or whatever and stop recording on this guy we'll come back and we'll continue our discussion if you guys want to talk or anything like this what do you call it we'll continue the conversation for a little bit longer anyway okay so let me change the angle camera angle view and i need to do a little adjustment so let me do a little adjustment first i'm going to bring i don't want this to be too loud let me move this guy back let me take this guy off please let me take this off so i'm not getting dizzy i need to bring this because i'm going to control the mouse from bringing the comic book hall here bring my mouse here right so let's change the camera angle view i gotta squint a little bit and this is the camera angle view we're gonna use okay let me make sure i'm set up here i'm not tangled i'm gonna turn on the recorder where are we there you are so that's on turn on the sound test test test one two three cool so that's on now i need to put this somewhere where i'm not gonna trip over it i am test test and i need to with this thing i usually put it somewhere where i can actually take a look at it make sure oh i should be talking here sorry again take a look at it and make sure it's recording right you can see this see that bar is going over it right every now and then i glance at it just to make sure uh it's recording because there are multiple batteries going and stuff like this so let's put this guy here okay let's tape one of the cords over here my feet are gonna trip over now we're gonna do a little clap test test test one two three i need to have a time stamp for the sound and and the video being recorded right let me make sure this thing is not hitting anything i usually have a little mirror with me just to check make sure the lapel mic is not sitting on my shirt so it's not going to be scraping sound okay it's a little louder sorry about the loudness oops sorry about the loudness game okay so let me position myself where i'm gonna this a little bit bigger and make this a little bit wider see what's going on this is you're welcome to my channel now what we're gonna do in this video is do another comic book haul okay and i'm sort of excited for this comic book haul because it's all the books are from a publisher that i love right valiant comics right so this is purely a valiant comic book haul and this box arrived about five days ago six days ago and usually when i get a comic book haul i usually crack it open right away even you know if we're making videos or if we're not making videos i usually crack it open right away and check the comics comics that way i can leave feedback for the seller right but what i was going to do for this and what i am going to do and what we are going to do for this is link up this comic book haul with the work that we've been doing in asmr math regarding investing in comic books right where we're going to link up some of the data that we're going to collect through uh through this genre uh through collecting comic books and do a little mathematics on it and basically learn what it means to invest in something with the rate of return might be and whatnot right so when i want to collect all the data because a package arrived a little earlier than expected right it arrived like really fast because i bought this comic book haul from a bc resident right i or bc i think was alberta coming to me right so it came to me super fast it's within canada and when i want to put the data together one of the websites one of the pages that i was using to find the print runs for some of the comics in this lot was dead so what i had to do was go to archive.org and for that site and basically go back a couple of years and start clicking on pages to see if i could find them and after a couple of days search i actually found the data so what i want to do is you know do a little intro before we crack this thing open okay because the the data for this haul is important okay and if you're a valiant comic book fan if you know the history of valiant comics you might appreciate what we're about to do and what we're about to look at and you're gonna love these comic books okay so what i want to do right now is bring up a couple of couple of images one of them is a table and another one is a is a graph is a chart and just so you know we're actually live streaming this comic book haul as well right so while i'm recording this that i'm going to edit this video with the sound and overlay it with the video with the hd camera stuff there's a bunch of people watching this live as well so what i'm going to do is do a little bit of looking over here and make sure i'm popping up the the right images for the people that are going to be watching this live okay so before we crack this open let me show you the data that we have for valiant comics from the 1990s and valiant comics is a company came to be in they started off basically doing comic books in 1990s and what you see here right now is we have a chart here for valiant comics and i have the charts here as well so i'm gonna show you this is what i'm looking at and that should be what you're looking at as well right so valiant comics came to be basically in the 1990s and 1991 basically they kicked off their superhero their universe building before that they were doing some comic book publishing with nintendo you know mario brother zelda and stuff like this gaming comic books right but in 1991 basically they kicked off their universe right so what you see here basically with this chart up top here is the print run for valiant comics from 1991 to 1996 right and valiant comics when they came came on to the scene the the two main people that put valiant's comics together were jim shooter and bob laden jim shooter and bob laden four came in through marvel comics jim shooter was actually um marvel's editor-in-chief for the third longest period it was marvel's editor-in-chief for like 12 years so he came in and he was doing comics before that so both bob laden and jim shooter came in with a tremendous amount of experience jim shooter specifically right and he started valiant comics because they had he got some investors together they had a failed bid to buy marvel comics right so his vision was grand right and this is sort of the print run of the comic books the chart here that they produced from 1991 all the way to 1996 right so when they came on to the scene basically the first couple of titles that they released were magnus robot fighter and solar manatee adam right and they were golden age characters that they bought the rights for not bought bought the characters all up but they bought the rights for to create comics with those characters right so what you see basically is the print run from 1991 to 1992 right those are the low period where you see here right and if you take a look at the table below this what you're going to see is the percent of basically for each year what the total percent of the comics that valiant comics in the first first go at entering the comic book industry what how many comic books they printed for each year and what you can do you basically sort of the era sort of broke it down into pre unity unity post unity post unity bubble because it wasn't just valiant comics that had a bubble in the mid 1990s it was a whole industry and then what we have in the mid 1990s bubble and the bubble bursting and the ending of the first goal of valiant comics right for this comic book haul what we're about to do majority of these comic books a huge percentage of them are from for the pre unity valiant comics and there's a bunch of comics in the tail end from 1996 right 1995 1996 I believe it's mainly 1996 right so there's a handful of these comic books in this comic book haul majority of them anyway or from the early period pre unity valiant comics and from the later years from 1996 valiant comics where the print runs really went down right and that's really important because once there is you know the print runs for certain books are last they become harder to find rare and their prices usually kick up the harder the book is to find the more expensive the book ends up being right and the table I really like there where it shows you basically 1993 right the total number of comic books right issues that valiant comics printed from 1991 to 1996 you can see it in that table there right was around 81 million comic books right issues and 50% of those were published in 1993 right that's what you call huge growth now the comic book industry went through a serious bubble phase and burst and it wasn't you know due to valiant comics specifically it was the industry doing it there was a lot of a lot of business decisions being made by the big two marvel and dc and the distributors like pre unity before the mid 1990s right before basically in 1994 by 1994 there was basically 12 distributors there's two main distributors of comic books and there was like 10 other secondary distributors and there was like tertiary distributors of comic books right after the bubble burst after the mid 1990s basically all the distributors most of them went bankrupt and it basically came down to one comic book distributor and that's diamond comic distributors that sends their comic books to comic book store so any comic book store that wants to buy comic books has to buy it through diamond distributors right that's what happened with the industry right now things are changing up a little bit with digital comics and recently um i believe um dc comics got a deal with walmart we're doing making exclusively walmart comic books and whatnot right so you really have to take what was going on in the 1990s into context when we're taking a look at this comic book haul okay and just to show you a little bit of data and by the way all this information that i'm going to be presenting to you right that's going to pop up with tables and charts and stuff before we look at these comic books right i'm going to provide links in the description of this video so if you want to follow some of this data take a look at some additional data you have the links there and we're definitely going to do a little bit of work on this stuff and take a look at what it means to invest in something specifically what we're talking about investing in comic books right or investing in art human artifacts collectibles and basically if you follow some of the stuff we've done with personal finance and economics this is basically money right not currency but money that's the way i look at it right so keep this chart in mind i might pop this up again during our comic book haul right and one other thing i want to show you that i you know i will provide a link in the description of this video is what you see here in this table is 17 of the rarest comic books pre-unity comic books if you remember that chart here let me bring up this chart again one more time one thing i want to point out to you let me take this table away we'll bring the table again but let me show you this chart if you take a look at this chart in 19 in mid 1992 right there was a crossover event that valiant comics did and that was in according to this chart was july let me bring up the table too so you actually can see what it is that was in july 1992 and the event crossover event that went across all their titles was called unity it was a magnificent crossover it's one of the greatest crossovers in comic book history okay once that crossover happened valiant comics the sales just kicked up huge huge because it was one of the most it was extremely tight story told it was fantastic right but what you're going to see in the next table that let me take these charts down and this table that you see here this is valiant's rarest regular issues pre-unity so this is the 17 rarest issues pre-july 1992 right and in this comic book haul we have one two three four five six seven eight these issues in this comic book haul and we actually have copies of all five of the top five okay just letting you know this and basically the print runs with the rarest one being rye number three and rye number four there were 35 000 copies printed and the 17th one would be magnus number 12 which was the first appearance of torak dinosaur hunter which is another gold key character that malian bought the rights for which is 50 000 issues and then after that there's a whole bunch of other titles which have similar to 50 60 70 80 000 it was barely very few that went over 80 000 until we go past the unity era right past mid 1992 right and right now at present comic books that are being published they have you know if they have if they have 35 000 print run they're doing good right there's a lot of comic books being published right now that have 10 000 or less print run but during the time in the 1990s 35 000 issues wasn't that much right there was a lot of comic books that were having you know 80 000 100 000 print runs someone were into the hundreds of thousands of print runs right hundreds and thousands of copies being printed so keep this chart in mind this is 17th the rarest pre-unity value of comic books from the 1990s and we have eight of those comics in this hall okay and they're fantastic and they're fantastic now since I'm giving you a little background on this while we crack open this box let me bring up the table let me show you what we bought okay let me take the table down for those watching live and let me bring up the hall and we're going to bring out while you take a look at the hall we'll go over it for sure I'm not sure if the the seller has packaged these things up according to each hall there's a couple of buys that I did which are basically more recent comic books but one two three four of those halls which are solar harbinger and two rye halls they're pre-unity halls most of them anyway there's some that are for the graph hopefully the charts if you see the chart here oops no that's the percentages we don't want that one if you see that and there's some at the tail end in 1996 that the print runs are very very few okay and I'll show you a table with the print ones of the books that we have so let me crack this open I hope the books aren't damaged I usually don't let a box sit like this for this long right but we'll bring out our blood shop box cutter I've used this a lot right it's a little dull but it should do the job for us this is it this is all we've got which isn't bad it's 52 comics right and just so you know one other another bit of info I'll give you is when I was looking for the data to put all the all the information that I showed you and a little bit more that's coming up I went to a valiant forum and I posted a question saying because I was trying to find a page that had all this information to print one specifically right and I couldn't find it so I was in like oh man I can't believe you lost that data right I checked out a lot of things and I went to a forum and asked the question if anybody had that information right and I posted some of the information of what I ended up buying and that's the print runs I was looking for and someone came up there and said hey wait a second I just sold those comics on ebay you must have been the buyer so I was like oh dude I can't thank you very much for putting these up and I mentioned to him that who I was and what I was about to do and he was really psyched that we're about to do a comic book haul and go through this information because he's a valiant fan as well nicely packaged take a look at this all right nicely packaged oops here we go right so let me take this down and we'll bring it up the haul where's my haul let me bring this down that's oh everything's together look at this I don't think you organized them according to the hauls they might not have 51 comics all valiants all this stuff it's seriously backed up look at this the backing tape on it it's insane unfortunately wow it's harbinger number take a look at this he's got one comic book facing out with the bubble wrap you should have flipped that but that's okay that's harbinger number 14 I believe he did a good job packaging it's tight very tight it's basically 51 loose comic books right together oh he might have to look at this so he packaged them together right this is a ninja okay let me put these guys here make sure we're not gonna drop anything awesome awesome okay I'm gonna show them to you okay let's start off with this guy set myself up properly so enough they're gonna be off of each other take a look at this this guy is valiant masters ninja heart cover okay and this baby is the reprints valiant comics right so let me bring up the table the chart you'll see it here this guy reprints also you'll see it it's not too small but if you take a look at the chart in january 1994 right so let me bring up the table as well percentages so january 1994 you'll see a little peak it's on the calm down of the graph right there's ninja number one okay and this is a collection of the first six issues so let me take the chart down the percentages down right this is reprint of the first six issues of ninja okay the first ninja series that came out it also includes ninja zero and ninja double zero right and i actually for valiant comics i've mentioned this before but when jim shooter jim shooter was ousted from valiant comics i didn't last much longer i bought to rock number one i believe was the last comic that i bought and if you take a look at the chart to rock number one is the peak there the peak of sort of this is almost like a normal distribution right so the peak of the graph that you see that's to rock number one i basically that was i believe the last issue that i bought off the shelf right and this thing is beautiful shape the guy who's selling this he didn't really list this was sort of shot in the dark he didn't give a grade for these books he said they were nice books right the only one he said was the solar lot that we bought and he mentioned that the solar lot the first few issues had been read a few times unrightfully sold there's some of the best comic books ever printed period the first 10 issues of solar man of the atom from valiant comics from 1990s that's 10 of the greatest comic books ever printed like a really fantastic storytelling right but let me bring up the haul again let's bring up the haul and look at the chart ix how are you doing so this is where is my haul this is the first package there that you see up top is valiant masters ninjack heart cover okay and it came out in 2013 he had listed listed everything all of these lots were listed as buy it now and i sent them offers so he had listed it for 15 canadian by the way these are canadian prices the only us prices you'll see is in the totals so 15 canadian he listed it and i paid 10 i offered him 10 canadian right and he accept it so that was 33% less and i put the percentages there as well 33% less than what he was asking right beautiful copy right and let me take let me show you something else here i made a chart right of or not a chart a table of the print runs of some of the key issues in this haul or most of the issues in this haul i missed a couple of them right so here's a table with the print runs this guy that you see here ninjack heart cover is the top one listed right up here right and according to the website that has all the print one information and i know a lot of the pre-unity stuff is valid because i was buying valiant comic back back then i seeked out as much information as i could so i know the early valiant the print runs are legit i don't know about this one but according to the table that they put together this guy only has 1500 print run there's only 1500 of these printed and i bought this baby for 10 bucks and it's in beautiful condition take a look at this right let me take this table down take a look at this just beautiful fantastic thank you very much for putting this out and i haven't read this so this i'm going to read i haven't read the first issues of ninjack you believe it very happy to have this okay i'm gonna put this guy here nice so let's take a look at another one okay since we mentioned solar let's bring out the solar books he's got it listed here what we what's contained in this right let me bring up the table okay this guy so in this package right this one is the third one down the chart okay it's solar manatee adam set right it has solar number one number four number five number six number seven number eight it's got number it actually should have number 11 here as well but he hasn't listed it on on this so it should have number 11 it's got number 56 number 57 two copies of number 57 two copies of number 58 and one copy of 59 and those are the later issues and i'll bring up as soon as we take a look at this okay and by the way he he was asking 46 for this slot and i offered him 30 and that was 35 less and there's 16 books here and he accepted the offer right so let me take this down let me take down the hall let's open this i don't want to do any damage to this he's got on two to a bag masking tape it's not the best it seals everything really tight but serious business and he mentioned the only thing he mentioned this is solar number one like a beautiful berry windsor smith right and in the description solar is the only one where he said the early issues have been read a lot and these look to be in really good shape and this is solar number four right so this slot we got for $30 everything we're going to take a look at right now right solar number one solar number four should we crack this open i want to see what what is idea of being read a lot means get rid of the tape because i don't want to smack on anything let's throw that baby there i was expecting this to be much worse really when he said he spent a lot of bad at all so i would give this glasses let me put out my glasses so i would give this guy a grade of at least an 8.5 at least is awesome okay let me show you a few pages of this because it's just beautiful just beautiful this should be on our reading list we shouldn't really be reading solar as well take a look that's the cover right here's the first page beautiful and what it says is let's see why i'm why i am here wonder what happened to my clothes i'm usually careful about my clothes so what you see here is there's the earth and there's solar up top they're falling going to the earth not falling i guess flying towards the earth second death part one no place like home and the color for valiant comics from the 1990s was beautiful the coloring on it right beautiful beautiful oh well somebody move okay we won't read anymore because it's it's fantastic and the writer for this and valiant comics at the time they put there who was writing and editing on the last page at the bottom here of each issue each issue so this is written by jim shooter pencils by david david d david perlin ink and editor bob latin colorist kathryn bulgar letter jade oh i guess the cover is not berry windsor smith i'm surprised i always thought it was berry windsor smith is it it must be is there a signature of berry windsor smith berry windsor smith usually signs that that bws oh it is berry windsor smith take a look right there bws berry windsor smith right so the covers of these i believe they're all berry windsor smith okay so i'm going to throw this back in the back and we're going to take a look at the rest of the covers and then i'm going to re-bag all this actually i'm just going to put this up top here i don't want to do any damage to it and if that is considered to be read a lot this guy took care of his comic books thank you very much brother thank you very much okay this is going to be loud again as well so my apologies i'm going to do it gently you don't need to take the whole thing off the back do this lock it up so it doesn't damage anything this is solar number five again berry windsor smith there's berry windsor smith solar number five and this is about the same shape as solar number one so eight point five i you know i was happy with sixes on these really and you can get these on the cheap number six right so we took a look at solar number one number four right before i do this let me show you actually i'll show you seven and eight as well and then i'll show you what the print runs of these is right so this is solar number five beautiful beautiful cover beautiful cover solar number six this is a version of the exo armor less powerful solar number seven just beautiful these belong in the world these belong in the world all berry windsor smith covers solar number eight this is still berry windsor smith no it looks like it's don pearl and stan drake did the cover for number eight here's solar number 11 okay and

cover of the eternal warrior and this is solar number 11 second appearance and the first appearance on the cover okay here's solar number 14 and from this solar number 14 this thing is common there's a lot of this printed okay and we'll take a look at the table with the print runs there should be a couple more oh yeah solar 42 oh there it is 23 for solar 23 okay and i kept on reading solar i have this issue as well and this is when solar splits into doctor eclipse i can't remember what the name of that guy is he has a i think it's this issue he has a sort of a nervous breakdown he has he falls apart right and this is what happens when a super being falls apart they shed off their secondary persona right this is solar number 42 i didn't know 42 was in this one he has some of these ones that are common on top of each other so i can read the number on it these guys the later issues of solar let me why because these guys are all together so i'm going to crack these open show you the covers i don't know which ones those are those are i'm assuming is for 56 57 and 58 but let me show you this all print runs this is the print run of the solar's we've got okay so just so you know solar number one had a print run of 60 000 solar number four 60 000 number five and number six 55 000 number seven that we saw was 45 to 50 000 number eight was 40 000 number 11 was 85 000 okay because it started kicking off then and then these later comics that we're about to we're about to see this is solar number 56 right and in the table you'll see that solar number 56 had 25 000 print run very rare for pre if it was a pre unity but later on it wasn't he actually set these later issues were beautiful copies and they look like to be very very beautiful copies i need a heart this is number 56 right oops let me put the table down so you see so number 56 let me give you the print runs for this number 56 is 25 000 57 is sorry number 56 is 25 000 57 58 or 21 000 and 59 is 17 000 printed right wow wow wow not very many not very many 56 i haven't read these ones 57 look at that 57 again two copies i will show brought bags and boards here so i could bag and board them right now because they're sitting loose nice copies 58 here's another copy of 58 and here's 59 and this is the second to last issue there's a 50 there's a 60 right and i don't have number 60 and these later issues go for a premium price number 60 goes for premium price nice cover solar man of the atom i'm sort of slowly what i'm trying to do is for the valiant comics anyway is be a completionist and basically put all the runs together it's going to be hard to do for some of them because some of them were the print runs were very very very little right especially when it came to i believe a lot shots we have the print runs for those let me put this guy here i'll remember to pick those up right so as far as the table the rarest valiance let me show you this as well rarest valiance where is that rare 17 so for the solar is that we just took a look at right solar number eight is the 12th rarest pre-unit valiant which we just grabbed in the slot and solar number seven is the 15th rarest valiant pre-unity valiant right and we grabbed one in this slot as well and they're pretty good copies they're not bad that would rate them around 8 8.5 maybe a couple of them look like to be nine i would have to take a closer look to we look at them right so that's fantastic i'm very happy about that very very happy about that okay let's grab here let me put the solar's away so they're not gonna get damaged okay let's put these guys here what should we grab let's take a look at harbinger let's take a look at harbinger so let me take down rarest by the way since we have the rarest up here in this lot okay we have a harbinger number four and harbinger number four and it has the coupon in it i asked them before i bit on this right harbinger number four is the fifth rarest pre-unity valiant right with 35 to 40 thousand copies and this thing used to go for a premium price back in the day oops let me take down the table so that's the only harbinger actually harbinger number one is in that list as well it's number 16 oh hold on a second harbinger number three and four check this out so harbinger number three four three five right and harbinger number two six and harbinger number one are all in the top 17 rarest pre-unity valiance right we just ended up getting harbinger number four in this lot we didn't get harbinger one two three five or six okay but i have those in my collection and they're beautiful copies they're beautiful copies but i was very happy to get this as far as what this lot cost oh my oh my this lot this lot check this out this is the fourth one in the list he listed it for 1695 canadian i offered him 12 right i was i was limited on my funds right i was slowly been putting money on the side to do comic book halls right i was delivered on my funds and i wanted to grab all these so i gave him offers of something i could afford right if you counter offered i left a little bit of buffer for myself to counter you know take his counter offer but he didn't counter offer he just took all the offers i offered him 12 canadian so that's 25 29% less right so 12 canadian multiply that by 0.76 you get it in us funds right so i got this for 12 canadian okay let's crack these open and he's got the tape on there too so i gotta be a little bit gentle with this he's unfortunate that he put the tape on top of harbinger number four no he's got a tape down here as well let's take a look so let me take this down because we're gonna start taking a look at it taking a look at these guys that should do it and actually this lot also has harbinger number five in it as well so we also got the seventh rarest valiant comic so let me show you these ones those two too okay that's fine here's that's fine and okay i got a any set here pictures of harbinger number four with the coupon in it right because what what harbinger did valiant did for harbinger they basically for the first eight issues eight eight i believe it's eight eight issues of harbinger they included it could have been six i think it's eight though for the first eight issues of harbinger they included a coupon in the books where you could collect all eight issues i'm not going to tear this guy off okay but basically this is harbinger the two times nine number four number five number eleven number twelve number fourteen two of them number fifteen one and number twelve one right and number fifteen is the first appearance of live wire was a major character right so this is harbinger number four should we crack it open to see if the coupon let's crack it open i'm curious to see what the condition is on it as well let's see because he didn't say what the conditions on these were the corners again like an eight point five there's a little thing here maybe an eight still a goodbye you can get these on the cheap wear the love light gleams awesome color let's go to the center make sure we got the coupon and here's the coupon i think for mac the coupon was in the center take a look at the letters page look at this very nice valiant had some amazing fans back in the 90s they did a lot of promo work and people would dress up as valiant characters and uh they would do they would give away a lot of freebies to their fans they did a fantastic job marketing valiant really they did an amazing job marketing valiant they had to you know serious respect must be given to them for that they treated their readers with respect and the industry was seeing some hard times okay and here's harbinger number five and i hope this has the coupon in there as well i'm assuming it probably does should we crack it open take a look let's crack it open take a look must be done must be done shape is this guy this is a nice copy very nice copy they had put a ding in the corner or a little bit of fold mark oh it doesn't look like number five oh it does have the coupon take a look nice awesome really good story of harada and this is good when you have this you can read the story of harada his origin on the cards themselves right here let me show it this is a nice copy this is a nine at least eight point five that guy right there right you put the coupons together you can read the story of harada awesome awesome awesome with the coupon twelve dollars canadian and the solar's later issues fantastic not solar sorry um yeah those are solar's later issues the harbinger doesn't happen i'm getting too excited right and this is the first appearance of live wire this guy right here number 15 and live wire one of the main characters in the valiant universe okay let's put these guys away let's put these guys away where they won't get damaged very nice very happy with that by very happy with that by so let's take a look what else we're gonna crack open let me show you mess it up post unity or post the relaunch of valiant from 2012 right because the masterworks the trade paperback is a relaunch of valiant the new company not the new companies valiant still but the takeover uh revamping with new people in there uh and this title that we're gonna see here this is ninja this is ninja the first issue of ninja right from the relaunch and this came out in 2013 i believe it was 2012 i can't remember when it came out what year i don't think it was 2012 2012 was harbinger and exo they kicked off the relaunch of valiant but i think it was 2013 it might have been 2014 okay and the masters edition was the first six issues of valiant of ninja from the 1990s right let me put up the table so you know what we ended up getting here uh where's our hall there it is hall so this one is the second one in the table and it's ninja number one number five to eight number 12 number 13 and number 24 and there's three copies of number five and number five is the is uh i guess it'd be third appearance of third or fourth appearance of roku roku's in there and ninja number one is the first appearance of roku that's another female character from the valiant universe that is uh very popular right and it's a great character really i wish this had the ninja number four in there as well with the roku cover pink roku cover that one's fetching a premium price i do have copies but that one these tapes are hard to get off whenever if you're anybody's listening if you're packing comics to send to people never use this tape right this tape is just grabs onto the plastic it's very difficult to pull off this tape here it's no good that's so difficult do you like nice this is a 24 beautiful cover let me show you these covers and basically for this it was asking 24 dollars and from the pictures they look like they were like pretty beautiful shape right he was asking 25 dollars i offered him 15 and he he accepted which was fantastic there's two in a bag here let me take this this slot has number 18 will it let me show you this let me pull this out this is ninja number one sorry ninja number five all five copies and one bag that's a little too tight they're not a little too tight to put it back shouldn't put five three copies in one bag two copies doable three copies not so much it's okay so here's an inject number five right that's roku right there okay and number four had the origin of roku which was a fantastic issue really it was a great read basically so there's three copies of number five like ninja number four was a great great issue okay and the pink cover well i gotta take the table down my bed for the hall for the live stream sorry gang here's ninja number five right that way you can see it but ninja number four with the roku cover uh where she's just standing there pink guns drawn beautiful cover and that one seriously fetches a premium price it was sold out basically as soon as it hit the shelves when it first came out and here's roku again this is ninja number one so this is variant cover here's two copies of ninja number one that's the most common copy okay i think this cover a and here's ninja number one cover b and roku is right there and ninja number one is the first appearance of roku okay here's this cover i love really i love this cover here's well i'll show you the i'll show you the cover of the love first ninja number seven this is one of the bad guys that they get together or they do a team i have we'll leave it there okay i love this cover i think it's a beautiful cover here's ninja number six here's ninja number 12 here's ninja number 13 this should be this is number 13 and here is ninja number 24 and this covers beautiful and these look to be near mint condition near mint minus near mint condition nice copy so that's the ninja that's from the relaunch that's the only thing you got from the relaunch other than the reprint of the masters as far as i'm concerned the main reason aside from grabbing harbinger number four and five okay the main reason i loved i put the offer for these is the rye comics so let me show you this let me pull up the haul again i gotta take these tapes off again these are some of the sought after books from the 90s maybes they would fetch the most insane prices right people were chasing these hard hard hard very happy to get these so this lot is this lot is the last one that you see in the table okay and it's rye number two rye number four and archer on strong number zero right now what you don't see in there it's actually three copies of archer on strong number zero two copies of rye number two and one copy of rye number four right and just to give you an appreciation for this let me so let me show you this let me pull down this haul okay let me give you show you the rarest valiance if you see the rarest valiance up there there's rye number three rye number four rye number five rye number two okay and two of them are in here we're going to take a look at okay so here is rye number two i'm not going to take them out of the bags they look like to be great great shape really they look fantastic like these are nines 9.2 so anyway rye number two they're cheap on ebay right now important books and if you like sci-fi this is fantastic sci-fi this is rye number two again okay so two copies of rye number two here's rye number four you can put a backing board on this one but this one's great shape as well here's rye number four beautiful cover fantastic sci-fi fantastic sci-fi okay i loved rye harbinger was fantastic here's the back of it i'm doing this whole video with my glasses on because i'm looking at the comic books trying to figure out what great they're they're an amazing shape really oh the back cover what is this wizards and warriors three big like rye number four this was very hard to find back in the 90s this was fetching anywhere between when valiant took off was fetching anywhere between 40 50 60 80 dollars for this right in the early 1990s tag on inflation for this you'll see what we're talking about right and here is archer and armstrong number zero first appearance of archer and armstrong this series is absolutely amazing so good so good here's two and here's three copies of archer and armstrong number zero and again this is covered by barry windsor smith and the internal work for this is barry windsor smith as well the pencils and i believe the inks as well okay first appearance of archer and armstrong and these look like to be fantastic condition fantastic condition awesome seller very nice very nice what how much did we pay for that we paid he listed these you're delivering up the table again he listed these the whole thing take a look he listed the this lot for 29 55 canadian i offered them 20 32 less than what he was asking for yeah i'm very happy with this okay 20 canadian is $15 $16 us is it 75 cents 0.7 yeah so $15 $16 us okay and arm archer and armstrong is fantastic really and if you've been following my youtube videos the videos the comic book videos you'll know that the 2012 archer and armstrong series with both with archer and armstrong archer is this guy the little guy armstrong is the big guy his eternal warrior his brother and ivar's brother the 2012 archer and armstrong series is one of the greatest comic book series ever printed right from the relaunched and there's 25 issues in that so if you want to have a nice humor read the 2012 archer and armstrong series is fantastic fantastic okay and those look to be great shape and i'll well we have the table up i'll show you this one as well you know let's talk about this one the last lot i bought off this guy is the second one down the table right let's do it here the second one down the table and again it's rye comics okay and it's rye number two three four five and the kicker 29 30 31 32 and 33 and if you remember this chart let me bring out the chart percentage as a chart let me take down the hall so number 29 for number 29 30 31 32 and 33 is towards the tail end of the graph right it's the last issue number 30 is the last issue of rye so they had low print runs lower anyway they're one of the higher print runs of the last comic books that malliant was printing but still low relative to a lot of other common books right so we got the front end of rye when it first got released and rye i believe was the second is the and just so you know rye is the first original valiant hero that valiant comics created so i have a we've read rye a magnus robot fighter number five and it's the first appearance of rye right so we've read it and i have a huge fond fondness for rye so it's the first valiant original comic book character like hero i'm pretty sure they've created some random ones but the first comics that they released were and that's the other reason i got my glasses on because i used the knife to cut through this so i don't want to do any damage and how much did we pay for this let me bring out the lot again let me take down the chart let me take down the chart this just so you know he was asking 35 for this lot and i offered him 25 and he accepted freedom for the comics crack open one of the rye and by the way well you'll see how many ryes in here there was two copies of rye number two in the other lot there's two copies of rye number two this is a lot of wool right so with this haul we ended up grabbing four copies of rye number two and this lot has rye number three and it has rye number four and five in there as well right so if you take a look at the rarest pre-unity let me take down the haul again put up the rarest pre-unity valiants well we got the top four rarest pre-unity valiants in this haul rye number two take down the chart for those that are watching it right so we got the top four and we had harbinger number four in there with the number five right the fifth rarest but the top four rarest valiant comics pre-unity valiant comics we got right here so here's rye number two again okay i'll show you the inside pages of rye number two rye number two here's rye number two again here's rye number three i love this cover this is one of the my favorite valiant covers ever it is absolutely beautiful right now what you'll notice with all the valiant covers pre-unity valiant covers there's no text on them it was just artwork they didn't have any words on the covers right where a lot of the other publishers were putting big words by me and big surprise and big reveal and look crazy messy valiant was just this look at that cover beautiful and rye rye the name r-a-y r-a-i is short for samurai right and it's japan in 4001 ad in the future on a floating island around earth it's beautiful beautiful slide five nothing else like it here's number four beautiful cover we've seen this one already and here's number five i really really like the cover of rye number five as well i think it's beautiful absolutely fantastic it's nice nice and here are the later issues of rye oh he's got them back to back i wish he back imported each one individually but he's definitely going to get a phenomenal feedback this one's even got a price tag on it take a look at this um this is rye number 30 okay and i believe it's doubled it so let me see what the inside of here is let's put the tape here so this is rye number 30 nice cover here's rye number 29 what condition is this in i would give this one about a 7.5 it's got some scuff marks okay but i don't have these i'm happy to have them here there's got two in here here's number 33 this is the last issue i believe here's number 33 what kind of condition is this was beautiful condition let's put that down there here's number 32 bad penny for two of two here is number 31 look at that that's number 31 so that is a comic book hall all valiance and if we pop this up again right for those watching live we'll show it up again at this table right we ended up getting 51 books right he had them listed for 166.50 ended up picking up up 412 canadian right which was basically on average 33 percent less than what he was asking for that was 112 dollars canadian is 84 dollars us so that's what we ended up picking for he charged 30 dollars shipping right packaging this which is legit that's what it costs now it's expensive right so it came out total of 142 dollars canadian which is a 107 dollars us all of these lots together most of them back then boarded including shipping 107 dollars 51 books and basically ended up costing two dollars and 10 cents per unit and he was asking 290 per unit right if you think about a per unit but per unit doesn't play out as well in this type of hall because there are some valuable comics in here rare comics and there's some more common comics in this right and that's one thing i wanted to do with this comic book hall was basically present you guys with the data with the print runs with you know this is the comic book hall and here let me show you the print runs for the comics we ended up getting right the comics we ended up getting so the comics we ended up getting you know archer and Armstrong if you look down at the table there archer and Armstrong number zero that we got three copies for those had a hundred thousand print run right which was a lot for that time for valiant comics that's one that we're really slowly starting to pick up that was still pre unity by the way archer and Armstrong number zero was still pre unity it's the first appearance of archer and Armstrong and then archer and Armstrong number one and two were the unity crossover they overlap with them right so from this you can see what we ended up picking up the key issues anyway except for harbinger number 14 and 15 they have a higher print run and harbinger number 11 has a higher print run but most of these things are you know less than 40 less than 60,000 I guess with solar number one and four right but there's a lot here that are 40,000 print run 30,000 print run some that are only 17,000 print run right so theoretically if all 17,000 of solar number 59 exist and solar 60 has less of a print run I think there's maybe 12,000 print run for solar number 60 then only 12,000 completed runs of solar from the 1990s can never be put together right and just to you know expand on this a little bit more because we're talking about comic books and we're going to link this up with math and investing in general personal finance right a while ago what I ended up doing we did another comic book haul which was basically it was an ASMR math video that we linked up the comic book haul that we did right a lot of golden age and solar age comic books that we had it was a great haul that haul right but what we ended up doing for that I basically put out a video saying introduction to investing in comic books a primer and two spreadsheets and we did a you know a fairly long video where we talked about what it means to invest in something and how we could take a look at some of the data of what we are investing in right so we put together a couple of tables and the links for those tables are in the video in the video that we put out and there's sort of common space tables that you can edit and what not or copy and use whatever right and in that table we had some print runs and we talked about some of the metrics we could look at when it comes to investing in any type of art form or anything that you want to invest in right so what I did was take a look at some more data and not just related to print runs but selling price of certain comics okay and I put together a table okay and a chart that I want to show you right now and this table the comics that we're going to talk about these are two comics that we've already done the reading for one of them is harbinger number one right and we did a reading for harbinger number one as well as that was you know harbinger that came out in 1990s the first original valiant comic book series ever put out right and we did a reading for a book of death fall of harbinger which was in the relaunch of valiant comics right so we've done a couple of readings of harbinger harbinger number one i'm going to show you the data for and we also did a reading of the first appearance of bloodshot with rye number zero as well as the first cameo appearance of a turn of bloodshot which was an eternal warrior number four so what i'm about to do is show you the data what price harbinger number one graded cgc graded but this is basically graded slab graded at 9.4 has been selling for since from 2002 to 2018 and what eternal warrior number four that we did the reading for graded at 9.8 has been selling for from 2005 to 2018 from the website that i collected the data from right and i'll have the links in the description of this video so here's the table okay that's the table and here's the graph if you're going to take a look at this right and let me take this guy down if you want to know what it means what you should look at when it comes to investing and some of the metrics that we can look at and we will look at this further right if you graph what harbinger number one cgc graded or there's two other companies that are grading comic books as well one of them is very highly ranked i would put them in the same category as cgc right another one doesn't fetch as much as premium price right so basically think about as harbinger number one graded by third party at 9.4 in 2002 was selling for 45 dollars right 2003 to 2009 10 11 was selling for around 40 50 30 there's you know some sales at 70 and they have the frequency of these sales as well right the frequency is basically how many how many of something has occurred right we have the frequency you know the chart where you could think about the how many issues of a comic print print were were printed as frequency as well right but these are sales that were done right so there was some amount of data available from 2002 to 2011 harbinger number one graded 9.4 was selling anywhere between 30 to 50 60 dollars right and then in 2012 it started kicking up a little bit it had a bounce up right and the blue graph the blue line there i believe is the blue line i should look at my own chart right here the blue line there is harbinger number one right so it had a little bump up in 2012 because valiant comics was coming on again and they did a relaunch with harbinger number one right and then it started coming down in 2004 2014 again it was selling for around 40 50 bucks right and then it started kicking up and right now 9.4 is selling for around 200 bucks right sometimes it goes for 150 sometimes it goes for 250 and it's kicking up edging up right and i used 9.4 graded data was because that was the one that was longest amount of data most amount of frequency most amount of data that i could use right 9.8 harbinger number one graded is selling for over a thousand dollars if you look back at the data and it's available on that site 9.8 harbinger number one was selling for less than a hundred dollars in 2002 2003 from what i remember okay and if we take a look at eternal warrior number four in 2005 from 2005 to 2011 it was selling anywhere between 20 to 40 dollars right this is graded at 9.8 by the way higher grade i used the 9.8 because there's more of this data available okay it had a higher frequency and i liked more data better than less data okay so i didn't pick eternal warrior 9.4 i picked the 9.8 okay and then again it had a bump up in 2013 it was sold for 102 bucks and then 2014 it came down to 49 now eternal warrior number four because valiant comics has come out and said that you know they're doing more bloodshot comics and they've said they've part they've partnered up with so many pictures that they're going to release harbinger and bloodshot movies right and they just announced faith and stuff like this so there's media movies and other things coming on with valiant comics right now 2014 was selling for 50 dollars in 2018 is selling for over 200 dollars eternal warrior number four graded 9.8 right and this is this type of data we can take a look at and we can use some metrics and do some analysis and this type of analysis will also apply to anything else that you want to invest in that you want to take a look at right so we're definitely going to link up all of this stuff with asmr math and personal finance and all that jazz and this is some of the data i wanted to present in this comic book haul that's why it took me a few days to put it all together and seek out the data and you know take a look at the look at the information and find the info online it was hard to find right but we will definitely expand also a lot more and again in that video we talked about you know that we did for asmr math the primer to investing comic books we talked a little bit about you know what we could do with the data and we took a look at some print runs of some other comic books that we had in that haul right or some of the comic books that i grabbed some data from online right we looked at what the lowest print run for batman comics is and detective comics is that occurred in 1980s but they're very cheap right they had like 35 40 000 print runs for batman and detective comics now if i was collecting investing i would put a little bit of money in that as well because they're the rarest batman detective comics and at some point when people decide to collect complete runs you know they might need those issues right and those things are going for the cheap cheap cheap dollar bin stuff you can find most likely right so that's about it that's our comic haul and just so you know since we're in comic calls i have another comic call coming hopefully it'll be here next week so we're gonna do another comic book haul video as soon as i get that a lot okay and we won't you know look into the data and you know too much into the print runs and stuff but we'll definitely do a comic book haul video just straight up comic book haul video okay with that haul when it comes and that next comic book haul you know i put the offers in for this lot and it was i left a little buffer for myself just in case the person rejected them i would just buy out most of the lots straight out or with a counter offer i would you know i would take the counter offer and buy them so i had a little bit of funds in my comic book budget but what basically happened was when i was editing the editing the cryptocurrency video that is the previous video i think after the announcement previous the announcement video for this on youtube that we put on when i was editing that video i needed a little break so you know i stopped editing and went online and checked my messages and the first message there was someone mentioning that you know they loved what i did you know what i'm producing and and they wanted to contribute they want to support my work right and this is the message i opened up so i'm going to read this to you right hey chicho i've been following your youtube channel for years now and

went back to it and just went buy it now right because i wanted that lot and another comic uh it was from a different buyer he had two lots up so i bought one just straight out he would have taken my offer but i wasn't going to take the risk and the other one i made him an offer and he took that offer so that we'll probably take a look at in the next week hopefully when it gets here as soon as it gets here we'll take a look at it okay we're not going to sit on that one so that's about it i hope you enjoyed this haul i loved it very happy i have all the pre-unity stuff in my collection already but happy to have them i will definitely and they're buried but i'm definitely going to read through some of these again and i'm very happy to have the later issues of the valiance that came in the 1990s right thank you very much for sticking around i hope you enjoyed and i hope everyone on the live stream had a good time watching this this comic haul okay that's it for now i'll see you guys in the next video my throat's going raw a little bit i gotta do a little sip of tea so guys i'm gonna stop the recording this guy i'm gonna stop the sound and i gotta make sure i want to see what the battery is on this because i think i need to change the battery on this recorder yeah so before the every time i do a live stream or every time i do a video i always check the battery on this thing so if it goes down one bar i change the battery because you don't want the battery to run out halfway through a shoot right i've had it happen to me before so let me do a little adjustment and we'll come back to the live stream and i'm gonna read some comments because there's a whole bunch of comments there and if there's anything you guys want to talk about we'll do a little talk take this off too so i don't get tamed this guy added land change the camera angle nice that's pretty busy okay let me put on my glass nice how's everyone doing let's check this out i'm gonna read uh Elvis oh we read Elvis clap clap good afternoon chichu good afternoon zary how are you doing we just uh commenting on youtube uh you're on there he isn't replying to the chat at the moment he'll talk after the video

you finally able to catch one of your streams again how are you brother doing well lizard thank you very much man wilson wilson how are you hey guys been a minute hope you're all well dude dude did you see the michelle obama eight pin heels i don't follow the antics of of of those and uh anyway hi luxurious when did you first get into crypto um back in 2010 2011 or so uh mr bonzai i know nothing of comics but that was interesting and those rye arts are beautiful yeah the rise it should get rye should get way more respect than it does it is some of the best sci-fi i've ever come across absolutely magnificent sci-fi really love it really love it okay let's check this out what's our uptime uptime that is almost two hour stream time i bet you bought early into it um i bought into bitcoin in 2000 feels good man yeah bitcoin you know what the cryptos the cryptos is uh it's brilliant disruptive technology to a certain degree it's being hijacked to a certain degree it needs time to go into the system and it's more about the blockchain than the cryptos themselves specifically right now my opinion um but if you want we can talk about that stuff but i've had a some request by the way i'll mention this right now um and i'm going to mention an update video the update video we're going to do on tuesday right people haven't asked me to talk more about politics right politics i'm trying to approach it from around the economics but we reached a point right now that you have you have to have a holistic view of the whole thing you have to be able to see what's going on with everyone so i might put up another announcement video before we do the update video or i might do an announcement later on but what we're gonna do with in regards to politics and economics i'm gonna start doing open discussion politics economics live streams and we're gonna have the lapel mic set up with the camcorder set up and basically i'm not gonna go on rents just i'm not gonna create anything where we're gonna you know i'm gonna tell you what i think about certain situations but open discussion q&a if you guys want to talk about politics and economics we'll talk about politics and economics okay but it's got to be questions coming from you and i'll do my best to give you my take okay if there's anything that i think i'm not well informed enough to give you my opinion i may just say i'm not well informed enough to give you my opinion because there's nobody that can give you their opinion about everything that's going on in the world so expect open discussion politics economics q&a sessions live streams coming up and if there's any questions that are being asked where it's been asked of me before where i think i have a legitimate answer something to contribute we'll record on the lapel mic and the camcorder and i'll edit the stuff and i'll load those on and on that note what we're gonna do with this video that we just did the comic book haul and the live stream all the live streams that we're gonna do from now on where we're also recording i'm going to tag in with behind the scenes when it's being loaded on bit shoot on youtube so don't expect this live stream to be loaded on bit shoot on youtube tomorrow i have to have i have to wait 24 hours to loads you know to load anything that we record on twitch to other platforms and that's what i've been doing but what i'm going to do i'm going to edit the videos that i shoot load those on and then we'll load on the live streams after the edited videos have been loaded on and that's the format i really want to follow okay i'll mention mention this again in future streams but i think people will get a gist of what's happening and the way we're going to approach this okay hey chicho just want to say that i love your content happy that i could finally catch a stream of yours which is kind of hard since i am from germany and it's almost 3 a.m. ah no worries man oh 3 a.m. that's right you guys are nine hours ahead i have relatives in duisburg and cologne also a question what is the most expensive rare comic out there and which is the most expensive rare comic you own yourself the most expensive would be action comics number one that's the first appearance of superman i do for sure it's not the rarest and detective comics number 27 is the first appearance of batman i'm assuming those are the two most expensive comic books out there if i'm going by memory there might be some other random you know one issue ever printed or something but i'm not privy to that information as for me you know the first appearance of daredevil daredevil number one i have it's mid-grade copy fetches a few hundred bucks i do have copies of harbinger number one with the coupons i have a couple copies with the coupons i have 10 back in like i was buying the stuff off the shelf by the way when it comes to valley of comics no one was buying them right when they came on the shelf i read these things i went wow what is this what an amazing company so i bought multiple copies of the comics they were putting on multiple copies of i started with magnets number one solar number one i bought multiple copies of one two three four five it was just amazing when harbinger number one hit i bought multiple copies right back then in the nineties i sold a lot of them okay i wish i had sold harbinger number one right because at the time i was selling the harbinger number one for a hundred dollars right and there were beautiful copies nine point eights right i kept two or three of them okay and i had a harbinger number zero you know beautiful copies right right now harbinger number one grade at nine point eight is selling for over a thousand dollars okay so somehow someone's driving hardly outside you could hear it right daredevil number one first appearance of daredevil came on 1960s the copy i have is probably less than a thousand bucks harbinger number one that came on 1992 1992 1991 1992 i believe right it's selling for over a thousand dollars so it's hard to tell you know what is the most expensive it really depends on liquidity something we've talked about in economics personal finance it really depends on liquidity harbinger number one is not as liquid as daredevil number one so in good times something that's not as liquid you know if people have a lot of money which is happening right now low interest rates economies flooded with money not to mean you but to those that have connections right so they're taking money that is very cheap devalued and they're putting it into assets but if that tightens up then things that are not as important they drop in price things that i don't i wouldn't say harbinger number one is not as important as daredevil number one but it hasn't been around as long and daredevil number one will keep a higher percent of his values like blue chip stock versus this type of stock this type of company versus that kind of company so it's hard to tell brother it's hard to tell germany your football team will be coming home soon won't they i'm pretty sure germany's football team is already home only joking dude it's unfortunately got knocked out but they're a young team man germany's i watched two of germany's games and one of them they did phenomenal that team is going to get stronger and stronger don't write off germany and the two games today fantastic games argentina and france and uruguay and portugal uruguay is looking powerful powerful powerful as far as i'm concerned france and uruguay are the two most powerful teams right now and they're meeting in the next round you should everyone should watch that game i don't know who's gonna win i just want a brilliant game i love football i love soccer i spent a month in 1994 in the world cup in california watching i went to the final of the world cup as well so i was lucky enough to do that thank you for your detail that's my pleasure brother that's the thing when it comes to investing you know i keep this in mind nothing i say is personal financial advice right investing is very personal some people give value to certain things that other people don't give value to and vice versa right um when it comes to personal finance investing you have to think about your budget your expenses what you care about what you want to invest your time and energy on some people only chase money if one thing i would recommend is don't do that don't just chase money incorporate what you love into your lifestyle and make it a if you can make it a revenue stream for yourself or an entertainment stream for yourself or pastime stream for yourself so it's not just you taking money putting in the safe closing it it's you incorporating your investment into your life and that'll bring you happiness and that will make life your experience here absolutely beautiful that's what i've learned in my years of doing a few things and hopefully my experience my knowledge will grow over time because that's what i found out right now i think back 10 years and i think i was stupid i don't think back 20 years i find it was an idiot right hopefully 20 years from now look back i won't think i was stupid or an idiot hopefully i'll think that i had a lot to learn and i would have learned it by that time if we make it that far right football's coming coming home to england football we're certain of it in uk until we get knocked out at the studies uk is playing really well man uk is playing really well i watched uh two of their games as well i've been watching a lot of games uh i'm watching a lot of games i have some collectibles uh some uh some things memorable memorable lobia i can't even pronounce it from 1994 world cup i might make a video showing you guys that i'm not going to make it make it during the world cup season right now i'd have to be at another date uh because i had still i have i have my tickets i still have my tickets that in the world cup that i went to see the world cup in 94 right i have my semi-final ticket final take a quarter final ticket all that jazz right but i have some other stuff i could show you uh they're they're important to me and i used to record every world cup game from 1980s all the way to 2000 2000 whenever it was right 2002 i believe was the last one okay so that's about it that was our comic book haul we've been streaming nicely a couple of hours stream that was good so the next stream we're going to do is on tuesday i forget what time it is i think it's at two o'clock or something um and it's going to be an update video so i'm going to spend the next few days um putting together my thoughts and think of it as a you know shareholder meeting i'm gonna again record it lapel mic this and if there's any you know we'll do a mean greet at the beginning cooking stream cooking stream will be coming up i there's a few things i need to knock off before we get into the cooking stream my computer's been giving me a little bit of problems in the last month it's crashed on me through more than five or six times and it's last couple of days i found that there's some driver issues that is doing the air hasn't come up again yet it happens when i'm doing certain things and for the cooking stream i have three cameras going so i'll try it out but cooking stream for sure coming up there's lots of things i'm going to show you when it comes to cooking and hopefully we'll make jam again real time this time right video card issues probably then hopefully not i've been i i've mentioned this before i've mentioned in the upstream in the update video as well if i have to do it all over again buying all this equipment i this laptop cost me two grand right i would have spent four grand and doubled it up right i would have bought a more expensive laptop okay um but we'll do what we can with the setup right now and once i get more funds and whatever more revenue streams coming in more supportive once i build up my bank i'll upgrade again okay uh hopefully sooner rather than later we'll see the master of all things chill is this the end did i miss it this is the end brother we've been doing in two hours wait what damn should i should have bought a desktop to be honest they're more yeah for sure i have a desktop that i love that i do all my video editing on that it's slow the processing but because i'm moving around right i'm doing different setups going to kitchen doing live streams with students doing math live streams i'm moving things around a lot uh it just didn't seem legit to me to do uh a desktop uh and i'm mobile as well i want to be able to live stream in a couple of different places that's the reason i bought the laptop but 100 percent desktop you get way more bang for your buck way more bang for your buck and i think what i might do is for the next one just use this laptop for any mobile live streams we're going to do and maybe i'll buy a desktop and just move my desktop around and set it up and that way we'll just do desktop in-house and mobile not in-house but i did need a mobile because i am moving around so that's what i decided to do i bought a gaming laptop okay but we'll figure it out this was my first venture into live streaming right uh i didn't know what to expect it was a serious learning curve right well worth it though well worth it well if it's two thousand dollars then yeah it's probably just your video drivers we shouldn't be much of an issue okay yeah maybe maybe most likely but we'll see we'll see it has been during the times where i'm doing multiple things on the laptop so i'm gonna try to stop that not push the laptop as far as i push my desktop okay thank you for popping by guys i hope you like the comic books i'm gonna go grab some bags and boards and bag and board these babies and box them and keep some out to read i want to read some of these babies hey chi chou what's your plan with the comic book readings are you going to live stream any or are you moving on from the oh no we're definitely going to be doing comic book readings that my pleasure man just regarding the comic book readings we're going to do the same type of setup that we did for how to how to study how to take notes where i had the the tripod set up with two different cameras so what we're going to do with the comic book readings 100% we're going to do more i know people have been asking me and my apologies for not getting to them faster but i really needed the time to learn how to live stream right so what we're going to do we're going to set up the same way we set up the how to study video and their how to study and the behind the scenes of how to study is up as well okay so we're going to do the same setup we're going to most likely live stream some of them as well as record them at the same time and there's some that we're just going to i'm just going to record on dvd on the hd camera with the lapel mic so comic book readings are coming man one person that asked me i mentioned expect them in august i might try to get a couple in because people have been asking me i might try to get a couple in before august but in august i plan on sitting now for two to three weeks and doing a whole bunch in a row some live stream all of them recorded some just recording and editing there's a lot of editing involved with that stuff and i've been trying to give myself a little break with the editing but we're getting back into it so they will be coming they will be coming if it doesn't work out just try different streaming programs if you're using ubs use stream labs obs i'm using obs xsplit i haven't used xsplit any chance you would do a video talking about access and allies you seem to have some serious passion for for sure access analyze is on my list to do we will do gaming videos during the summer one of them will be access and allies as soon as i need to get one more game in with my gaming group but right now for the summer my gaming group is sort of split out and stuff like this but i might try to get a game in hook up with them in july if not in july we're going to try to maybe hook up in august okay and as soon as we hook up one more time play one more night of access and allies i'll do a live stream telling you guys how we play that nice you're catching the end of a live stream brother you're catching the end of it end of a two hour plus live stream but we're going to do another one on tuesday okay so with that gang i'll see you guys on tuesday if you can make it and i'll do more announcement videos and set up scheduled live streams as well as just popping in randomly and just doing a meet and greet or just doing maybe behind the scenes shooting a video and doing a live stream introduction and then recording at the same time again okay aside from that hope you have a great great weekend and if you're watching the games i hope your team makes it through and you enjoy the games talk to you guys later bye for now
