Okay, so this comic book haul right here, it's not a comic book, it's a trading card haul. Okay, and for some reason I just went to just pop this open and it actually opened. So I'm pretty sure this when it went through border, it was checked but they never put tape on it again, which is really wacko. Okay, Mod, thank you for taking your business. Yes, comics indeed. Let's check it out. Let's check it out. So this was open. Okay, and I'm sort of like, hey, wait a second. Okay, I don't, like they went through it.

This thing, including shipping, cost me $133 U.S. I bought it for 105 and the rest of it was shipping. And this time, I didn't have to pay duty on this thing. This time, I didn't have to pay duty on this thing. Okay. Ah, elder guy, you got business taking care of. Your sword is sharp today. So check this out, gang. Okay. Check this out. Check this out. $133. Now, before we do this, let me show you the other guys that we had. Let me show you the other guys that we had. Now, a while ago, we did the reading for, we bought the drug war trading cards. We did the reading for this whole set. We did the reading for this whole set, drug history of the war on drugs. Amazing, amazing, amazing. It's on SensorTube on a playlist and it's on Rumble, Pichu, and Odyssey as well. The mod is on it like clockwork. Awesome, awesome. Elder God, take them out, take them out, take them out. Now, after we got these, I'm going to a bunch of these, we're going to be doing a giveaway for these during our yearly points auction. Now, then we ended up getting the Iran Contra scandal, which is, we're going to do the reading for this too, all the cards. Okay. So we're going to do the full reading for all of these as well. And then we ended up getting the assassination of John FK, the assassination of John FK. And we're going to do a full reading on all of these as well. More history. I knew my war on drugs history, really. I've been at this for a long time. I've been an anti-prohibitionist for more than a couple of decades now, but a couple of decades full on, right? Metadragons. I am on the fourth issue of Infinity Gauntlet, first time read through. Wow, awesome, awesome, awesome. And read the Silver Surfer, Metadragons. Read the Silver Surfer build up to the Infinity Gauntlet. Okay. Read the Silver Surfer build up to Infinity Gauntlet. Regarding war on drugs, I knew my history on the war on drugs, but I didn't know my history on the war on drugs. So if I didn't know my history on the war on drugs, I can bet you majority of people, if you end up reading this, these drug war trading cards by Eclipse Comics that came out in 1991, it will blow your mind. It will blow your mind. Okay. Now, the next set of cards we got, we didn't get a box. We didn't get a box, right? So I took out the drug war trading cards. These are the ones, right? I took them out of this box and I put the cards that we had in this box, right? Because I want to protect them. And the cards we got were the dirty rotten scoundrels, right? Dirty rotten scoundrels. I put that on there, right? Because we didn't, we didn't get them. We didn't get them, right? We didn't get a box. And it cost us, it cost us $180. How much did it cost us? It cost like a lot of money. It cost, I should have it here. Let me tell you how much it cost. It cost, it cost, it cost $152 US plus I had to pay for duty when it came across the border, $30. So $150, so it cost $180 plus without the box, without the box, without the box. We got the box. Awesome. Check this out. So $130 including shipping, duty taken care of, right? And we got the rotten to the core. Oh, shoot. I put dirty rotten scoundrels on there instead of rotten to the core. Check this out. I put dirty rotten scoundrels. It's not dirty rotten scoundrels. It's rotten to the core trading cars. Rotten to the core trading cars. Damn, that's sweet, buddy. Thank you. Very happy to get this. Initially, the guy who had listed this was selling it for 160 US, right? And it went through a couple of times iterations where he had to relist it. And then he finally kicked it down. And I didn't have enough funds in my in my account to be able to buy it, right? But when I had enough funds, he ended up, I checked, he ended up having it for $100, right? And then it was, you know, 30 plus for shipping and whatnot, right? So rotten to the core trading cars, the best and worst of New York City politics, right? Let's look at this. And there's two key cards that we really want to make sure we have here, right? I think larkbark. I think the cat either disagrees. The cat's going crazy. That's Sal going crazy. He's like, he wanted up here. He was, I had some snacks here. He came in. He was trying to get to the snacks, right? So I prevented them. So he's like, I want the food. Oh my God. I finally read my comics. I won on last night's point for awesome. Go, go, boy. The artwork is rough, brother. But I think it was legit. It was authentic. It was sincere. And this is a Google Boy comic books that I ended up printing from my comic book publishing company that I had in 1990s. And we published the first LGBTQ comic book series, okay, continuing series, superhero comic book continuing series. And I had to print it. I had to accept what the guy sent me and put out that series. And I'm very proud of it, even though the artwork is very rough. It is rough, but it improved. And we were censored by by diamond distributors. Check this out. Check this out, Edward Cosh. So this gotta be, and it's got the thingamajigie in there too, the description. Very nice. Very nice. Check this out. Check this out. We're looking for card. I forget what card it was. Card number 26, I believe. So these things are amazing. The cats are in full fighting mode. The added magazine, I have my parents' word though. Ah, yeah, that's right. I sent you a magazine because the LGBTQ magazine, one of the largest magazines, LGBTQ magazines in North America, put Google Boy on the front page. They covered Google Boy comic book series that it was publishing in the 1990s. Okay, they did an interview with the creator. That's how important the series was and is, right? And just consider this. The comic book, the main comic book publishing company would not care yet, right? Just letting people know, right? Metadragons. I didn't know about your publishing company on the GPD run. That's amazing. I'm super proud of it. At the time I was like, what am I doing? And the distributor refused the other books that I submitted at the same time. And there's no way they should have refused. Anyway, we'll get into that story later. Check this out. These are the type of cards there are, right? Donald Mainz, right? This is card, and it's got descriptions in the back, right? That's card number 12, right? Let's keep on going. Find the, find the, find the gold man. I hope it's in here. It should be. Come on. Oh, yes, baby. Nice. And check this out. This one, this card. I'll show you the, this is card number, number 26. And in the pictures, the corner has a little dent in it. So the other one that I have that's in this one is in better condition. Okay. But check this out. Donald Trump card. Donald Trump card. This is, I believe, his rookie card, right? I think so anyway. On this level, Donald Trump with a plane in New York, standing on his towers. Or it might be, no, it's got to be New York, right? And his card number 26. Well worth the buy. Well worth the buy. You can see the dent right there, right? Squished the corner. So I'm not sure how grading works, what grade this would be given, but I'm very glad to have it in this grade. Okay. And the last card, card number 36, is Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani. These are the two cards that are worth a fair bit. Like the Donald Trump card, the Donald Trump card graded at 10 is listed at 10 grand on eBay. I don't know. Like if I, if I was a millionaire, I'd probably buy it, but I'm not a millionaire, right? I can buy the whole deck for 100 bucks or 130 bucks. I'll do that, right? Very happy to have this second set of rotten to the core trading cards, box included, box included. It was a great deal. It was a great deal. Okay. It was a great deal. I'm going to put this in here and here's a box again. Rotten to the core. Rotten to the core trading cards. Who are those people on there? Will it focus? Let's see. Who are those people on there? I don't recognize any of these people. Look at the dog spot. New York, buzzed, New York or bust? Cool. Very glad to have that. Okay. Nice collection. Here we go. We got four of them. We got four. We got four out of this guy goes like this. I think they produced eight trading card sets in total and we got four. Okay. And we got four. Very nice. Very happy for this.
