 Let's make sure we're coming in live. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Hi everyone, this is Chicho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream and an unscheduled live stream, sort of unscheduled. I was hoping I was going to be able to do this this morning. And what we're doing right now is a comic book haul video. A small comic book haul in terms of how many books we got on the expensive side in terms of what it cost us. Okay, and we are doing a live stream tonight, current events live stream tonight at 8 p.m. And this is sort of, I sort of let the word out. Lonely Piggy, how you doing? I was wondering if people are going to pop in right away or not. Hope all is well, doing good brother, yes let's go. Void, how are you doing? Awesome, awesome. Good to see you Void by the way. Good to see you man. I'm glad you're still with us. Very glad you're still with us. If you weren't, you wouldn't get to see what we got. And it's like, you know, it's a sort of a box. All right, there's probably a total of eight comics here. There's two CGC graded and modern age a lot that I bought. Cheecho boop-doop-a-choo. Oh wait, that's Nord War. That's Nord War, Nord War. Friend of mine, friend of mine. We went to high school together with Nord War, right? I've mentioned this before. Crack, morning, morning. I thought I smelled comics. I just stopping in to say hello just on my way out the door. Oh okay brother, enjoy. I hope you have a good day crack and you're gonna like these comics. Nice haul. Goodbye. One of them was a two of them were fantastic deals. The modern age comic book haul, a lot was a fantastic deal. One of the golden age CGC graded was a fantastic deal. And the other CGC graded was fair value. I had to pull the trigger on it. It looks like Cheecho starts 12 hours earlier today. Who wants to talk about current events? Let's talk comic books, man. It's a lot sweeter. It's a lot sweeter. Cheryl, how are you doing? Good morning, good morning. Huckleberry, morning, Cheecho. I'm excited to be able to catch two streams in a row after missing so many. Huckleberry, glad to have you, man. You're catching good ones. Yesterday's last night's stream was fantastic. Personal finance, investing in personal finance. Very nice and chill. Very nice and chill. And a comic book haul. You can't go wrong with this, right? Think about it. I remember the story. Something to do with fire. Something you shouldn't have been doing. Indeed, think about it, Craig. I can't wait to see what you got. Always love your comic hauls. Yeah, me too. Me too, in a big way. It started going through, a lonely thing. It started going through like collectibles and posting some on eBay gradually. I was genuinely surprised by how expensive some have grown to over time. So yay for making money. Yay indeed. Yeah. And collectibles have gone up in price. And a lot of people are saying this is a bubble on the collectibles side and stuff like this. This is, in large part, devaluing of the currency. In large part, inflation. In large part, is people who are fed up with the standard way of investing with Wall Street and stuff, looking for alternatives to park their money because they're realizing that Wall Street is a scam, right? Wall Street is working not for their benefit, but to take away their freedoms, to destabilize our societies, to devalue currency. They get the first bit. They get the first wave of trillions of dollars going to them and they throw crumbs at us, right? So f them, find your own system. A system that you enjoy, you love to invest your time and money in and your resources, and go with that, right? If you're doing it, the odds are there are other people doing it as well, right? Comic books are paper gold. Gold? What am I hearing? Oh yeah, we're talking, well this is personal finance. Like these comic book hauls are personal finance, right? We are going to link them up. I can't wait to make the next investing in personal finance video in relation to investing in comic books. It's going to be really good. Like in my mind, it's going to take me a while to put all the tables together. Oh, you hear the cats? That's right, that's right. The kitty cats are awake. I gave them, I gave them food this morning and they were like meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, and they're just talking. Like Via is very talkative. Sal is not very talkative, but when he talks, he has something important to say, right? Like seriously, it's crazy. Via loves the cuddles. He'll come to us and just go meh, meh, pick me up and I pick him up and I walk around doing stuff, right? And Sal only comes over to say meh, if you really want something so deep, meh. And I gave him little treats, jumping up and down, and they are, they love wrestling. They're like judo and they, they stalk each other, right? And then one of them hides somewhere waiting for the other one to, the other one to come this way and the other one knows this one is hiding here. So comes around the back and goes pounce on him and then they run off and then they slide into the walls. It's, it's, it's really fun to watch. Really. Huckleberry. I love the cats. I'm very excited to get, hopefully they won't knock us over one or two when I've got an apartment of my own. Yeah, Huckleberry. I would recommend getting two. The reason is cats get lonely, right? And because we had one cat before and he was an older cat, like when I got introduced to him and started living with them. And he was, oh man, he was an amazing cat. His name was Cron, like chronic, right? And, but having two cats together, you can see how much they love each other and they interact, as long as they get along. These are siblings, so they get along. So I would recommend siblings. Okay. Chicho, who's the superior fighter? It depends. Sal is faster, right? Viya can't really catch up with Sal, but in close combat, like sometimes Viya takes the advantage and Sal becomes the sub, but then Sal takes over. They, they switch up, they switch up. Sal is high energy, really high energy. Lots of juice and Sal. Lots of juice and Sal. I also got some Sal, Sal, Sal, Sal, Sal. Drug name, name of Chicho and chat. My cat is slow, slowly making friends with the possible stray. I saw that, the black cat, the event that you show the picture in the yard. That was cute. I have pics in the pet picture today. The stray came to our back door to look inside. Nice, nice. No, Sal is just keeping Vi in the game. That is all. To a certain degree, to a certain degree, it could be. To a certain degree, it could be. Gang, should we look at a comic book haul? Let's look at a comic book haul. That's long enough, wait for people to roll in. We've been going at it for like five minutes or so, right? So what is this haul? Let me give you the total of this, right? Now I'll give you the total on Canadian dollars and I'll give you each one individual in US dollars. Actually, the total in US dollars was $255 in US. This is our comic book haul. Total $255 US. In Canadian, it was $284.50 Canadian and then there was sales tax of 14 bucks and shipping was $25, right? So it was, what do you call it, $40 tax and shipping and $284 total cost. The tax is, because I'm buying from the same seller, the tax is getting to me a little bit. But some of them are really good deals. So that's compensating for the tax. Good morning, nights of old comic. You're in for a good haul, brother. You're in for a good haul. So let me crack this open and I'll show you what we got. I'll show you what we got. And this seller is very professional, packages them well and stuff, right? Man, Chicho, you seem in a good mood today and it's contagious. Awesome, awesome. I am, man. I got comic book hauls. We've been doing live streams of the Yang Yang. There's amazing stuff going on in the world. Like, really, this is the modern age lot that he put together. Very nicely packaged, right? Very nicely packaged. Okay. And we have the two CGCs here and the CGCs are nicely bubbled up, right? So let's take a look at the modern age first. And then I'm going to show you the CGC. CGC, my, the modern age was a great deal, great deal, great deal. Okay. The modern age comics, this lot cost $20 US. Okay. In Canadian funds, it was Canadian funds. What was it in Canadian? $24, $24.50 Canadian or 1950 US. Okay. So and if you take a look, I'm going to show you, you'll know why it was such a great deal. It was number one of an independent comic book series. Here, I'll show you with all the variants, including the exclusives. Damn, we need to decentralize up the yin. Fan art is too, too funny. Yeah, I love that one. Gina, how are you doing? That shirt suits you very well. Thank you very much. Thank you. I jacked it from my nephew. It was his. He's not here right now. So it's my man. I believe Chicho has entered the spring period. Yeah. You know what? The sun is shining. It's very nice. Check this out. Nice. Now, this is all the number ones for vault comics. I walk with monsters and they're all in, what did he say in that thing? He said they were all mint. Well, let me look at it. He described them as, I walk with monsters. Here, let me show you the first cover. And I have the first issue of this already. I bought this and I bought the first few issues of this. And he said they're anywhere from near mint minus to near mint. And you get them all, including the one in 30 foil, the one in 15, the one per store version, and all three regular comics. Now, the version one has a little ding in it. Has a little ding in the thing. And it's basically $20 US, $25 Canadian. And let's crack these open and take a look. Vault comics. These guys, they're putting, producing some amazing, amazing, yeah, let me take it out of the bag. They're producing some amazing comics. The independents are killing it. Really. I love the way the guy packages up the books. Is that a black obsidian ball behind you? Yeah, it is. Is it black obsidian? It should be. All right. It's my partners. It's beautiful. It's been with her for a long time. You can see the camera, the reflection in it, right? Needs a polishing, I think. She has a few of these. 2023 alien. Aliens arrive and decentralized. They're just going crazy. The foil variants are very good and exclusive. Very nice. Let me show you this. Let me show you this. Number one, number one. That's the one in 15. And this is a number one. So I'm going to show you this. Can we add this to the possible reading in the future? Yeah, for sure. Again, you guys got to remind me which ones we added in the future. I walk with monsters. So this is the cover A. Okay, I already have this one. I love videos like these, like Obere says. Before I started watching them, I was woefully unaware of any comic book companies other than Marvel and DC. Yeah, I buy more independents than Marvel and DC by a long shot. This is cover B, I believe. I should say it. Probably says it on the back. It's got a little I voted thing on there. So this is cover B. I don't know, Skry means Gina. She did some mineral crystal work and stuff. This is cover C, I believe. Okay, good morning, Chicho Spencer. How are you doing? And everyone, hope you're all doing well. Doing fantastic. Variant. Oh, I forgot. Smith, man, the legend. This is the one in 15. Okay, so if you bought for stores that order 15 of the number ones that would get one of these, right? So one in 15 variant. Here's the one in 30 foil. So that's a foil cover. It's the same as the one in 15, right? It's the same as the one in 15, but it's foil, right? Should I bring it out so you can see the foil? It's got like a foil feel to it. You should read a witcher. Dude, I try to get my, not Elder God, ding-baubur, I try to get my hands on the witcher number one, but it's a bean outfit. And this is the one per store variant. Okay, one per store variant. And it's got a little ding in the back. He had the picture of it, okay? Which, you know, would kick it down to like 9.4, 9.2 if that's the only flaw with it, right? Cheryl. And I know my tastes aren't necessarily the same as the group. So no worries if the group isn't into it. Well, if we put it in for a reading at some point, we're going to read it, right? If we choose it at one of the five, I'll try to include it, Cheryl. I gotta remember though. Gina, is the cover that you already own graded similarly? Probably. It's like a near mint, right? So this one that I own, it was just a cover number, just the main cover. I just bought the main cover, right? So this one I have. The foil cover is cool. Looks beautiful. Yeah. And this is the virgin. This is the virgin variant. That's one per store, right? It's a beautiful cover. Let me take it out. This one alone catches a pretty hefty sum. So getting them all, where is the ding? Oh, there's like, let me see if I can show it to you guys. It's not even a ding. It's like, well, it is a ding, I guess. You can't even see it. Where is the reflection on? I need a sun. It's like, where is it again? It's here. But anyway, it's minor in perfection. And it's, here's the cover without the reflection. It's a beautiful cover. Take a look. The virgin variant. Oh, right there. There's one on the cover. Oh yeah, this is the one on the cover. See this? It wasn't on the back cover. It's right there, right? That's the reflection. That's the reason why you couldn't see the other one, because it wasn't really the one that he pictured. So this, I would probably say it's, it'd be graded like a nine, right? And people say press can take that out, but whatever. And the writer for this is Paul Cornell. The artist for this is Sally can tear, tear no. Sally can tear no. Let me show you some of the interior art from the regular cover, because the regular cover, you know, it's not expensive. The virgin cover. I don't want to accidentally drop it or anything, but let me show you the inside cover. Now artwork looks beautiful. Right? This is the cover. Hey, oh, you had this on your list. Oh, look at this. That looks pretty sweet. Looks like a pretty brutal comic. Right? Very cool. Maybe we should add this. I think so, Cheryl. Yeah. Insane art. Very cool art. It's very, it's nice reading. It's clean. I don't feel the art, but I'm old school. Elder God. The story is supposed to be really good. So let's put this. So that was the cheap, cheap one, right? How could we show it? Do you have different policies for handling comics based on whether or not you intend to sell them later? I'm pretty, not necessarily. I handle my comics with care, right? I never really buy comics just to sell them, right? I buy comics because I want them. I do buy multiples of certain things that come up, right? So those ones I just buy and I read the one I read and I bag and board the rest. And I usually don't even know the one which one was the one I read because I'm very careful reading my comics, unless they're like 50 cent comics, 25 cent comics, some of the dollar comics that I buy. And I have a stack of comics that I've been reading over the last three, four years that are like one dollar comics and lost that I'm getting really cheap. And I don't put bag and board on those ones. I've shown you some of those ones a little bit. Like the clean old school battles. Yeah, me too. I'm, I like arts of all kind, right? So I'm okay with the stuff. Okay, here's one of the CGCs. Now this one, we've got a fair deal on it. Okay, some people will say it was cheap. If you waited a little bit longer, maybe you could have got it cheaper. Okay, possibly. But I pull the trigger on this because this is how it's getting into trouble right now. I pulled the trigger on this because I was getting the other great comic book and the seller, it gives you a certain amount of time to buy comics from him before he bills you. So I wanted to include it in the shipping as well. So sort of combined shipping, right? This one. Okay, I looked online and there's only speedball number one. I love speedball. Speedball is one of my favorite characters from the Marvel Universe. CGC alert. I can get completely lost in comics where half the story is tucked in the art. Yeah, me too. Just, and then back around you see, you see the stuff. No, you're not allowed in here. Off you go. Off you go. Let me bring out the other CGC because Vio's like, hey, a box. Let me get into the box. Come here. You can get into this box. There you go. In you go. You can get in there now. Okay. Yeah, get in there. Cats and boxes. Wow. Cats and boxes. Wow. Okay, all right. Let me take these guys out. There you go. Now you can just sit in the box. They love sitting in boxes. Cats and cranky things. Yeah, give them the bubble Yeah, the bubble, they'll rip it apart and eat it. I don't want them eating plastic. With paper, it's okay. I mean, paper is not going to do any damage, right? Paper is not going to do any damage. Now, check out this one. This one is from 1952. Girls love story number 16. Okay, we ended up paying US $115 US for this. Let me show it to you. If you look on CGC's database, there's only two graded that they have in their database. This is the second graded one. Okay, I think they have one graded at eight and this is the other one. You could probably find this. This is fair price. Okay, my cat was doing the same with my Instagram live stream. Then he started to climb the TV to get a fly. A kitty cat break. Kitty breaks are fun. Kitty breaks are fun, Cheryl. What? Not ought to be interesting. Not ought to be interesting. Right, so this is CGC graded at six and here's the back. Let me take it out of the closet. They're both here now going with the cardboard. Right, so girls love story graded at six from 1952. Okay, from DC Comics. Okay, what's the insignia say? Girls love story. Does DC even have their logo on this? Right? Take a look. Girls love stories. You're getting serious reflection. It's a clean case. Right, there you go. That's better. Now, on eBay, there's one listed at four, 4.5, which is listed for like $50. Right, so you can buy this for $50 or graded 4.5 right now. And it's the only one listed on eBay. Okay, I went with this one graded because the grading itself would cost me like $20, $30 at least to get it graded and shipping and all that jazz, so went with this one instead. I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm just having tea. I had a little bit of my cookie and that's the background on it. Right, cool. Very cool book. As you know, I've been collecting, I've been into collecting romance comics, golden age romance comics, and golden and silver age romance comics for the last little while. I think they're undervalued in a big way. Just I did, from the research I did, they're in high grade, they're hard to find, extremely hard to find. There's some amazing artists that have worked on golden age romance comics, Jack Kirby, Dick Eyre, Stanley, John Severin, Matt Baker, Wally Wood, like giants of the industry have worked on golden age romance comics. Girls love stories with no logo. I used to have young romance number one. I wish I kept it. That's from the young romance number one from the 60s with John Romito Jr. If you're talking about that one Night's Will comics, I have that copy. Andy, how are you doing? I'm actually wondering who was reading this comic back in the day? More girls or boys? It would have been more girls. This romance comics were a huge seller, that's the entertainment. There was no, how many people had, in the 1950s, how many people had TVs in their homes, right? So this was a fair value. This was fair value. Okay. And I think it's underpriced all your truth. Let's take a look at the next one. This one, we got it at a steal, an amazing price. I'm not sure, but I might have one of them. I have an elder god. I have a large collection of romance comics. Do you? Oh, elder god, hold on to them. The romance comics, they're undervalued. No, you can't have the bubble. I don't want to eat the bubble. Sal and beer are both like box. They're both into the box right now. They're both sitting in the box. No, the Kirby Simon one for, oh, from the 47 Night's World comic, you had that one? Young romance number one? No, you don't have it anymore. Did you sell it? You must have sold it. Whatever you sold it for, you could have got a lot more for it now. Like, when did you sell it and how much did you sell it for? This is, and by the way, this one, this one, no, you can't go up there. This one, he had a price tag, no via, no via. This one, he had a price tag of $100 on here, $100 U.S. So, we paid $115. So, fair value. What are you selling it for, I guess? I don't know how, if you had this in a store or not, right? Check out this one. Check out this one. Ding-Bobber. Anybody here here of Black Eyed Peas? Yeah, for sure, comic which, with the, oh, you posted that, Ding-Bobber. That was awesome. Comes alive. Literally, the panels become animated with voice acting. It's called a AR comic. I believe the first of its kind. Proud owner, proud owner. Nice. Check this one out. This one, we paid, we paid. This one, we paid. U.S., we paid $90 U.S. Canadian, it was $114 Canadian, right? $90 U.S., $114 Canadian. A date with Millie, number five, C.G.C. graded at six, okay? He had a price tag of $175 on this. Oops, where is it? $175 U.S., we paid $90 U.S. A date with Millie, this is from the second series. Okay, a date with Millie from Atlas Comics Marvel. Okay, the story is by Stanley. The story is Stanley and the cover is Stan Goldberg and the art is Stan Goldberg and graded at six from 1960. That dress. Awesome. This was a great deal. This was a great deal. Fantastic deal. I was surprised I was able to get this at that price. People didn't bid it up. There was a couple of other C.G.C. graded books there that I was bidding against like someone with on both of these actually, both of these romance comics, the person that was bidding against me had like 8,000 plus feedback. Like he's a total reseller, high-end buyer, right? Very cool. Very happy to have this. Very happy to have this. And in the back, enjoy steady pay every day as a nurse. Enjoy steady pay every day as a nurse. Awesome. Awesome. I have some Millie comics. I don't know if I have a date with Millie, but very happy to have this. Very happy to have this. Smith, I assume grading skill goes to 10. It does. Yeah. If that's a 6 for 175 US, what would a 10 go for? A 10? I don't think there is a 10. If there was a 10, it'd probably go for like 10 grand. 10, 15, 20 grand. Like it would be huge. I don't think there is a 10. Is a 10 even possible for something of this age? I don't think so. I don't think so. Okay. Sold for my romance number one maybe three to five years ago, but it funded other comics. So it's probably okay. Yeah, that's the kicker nights of old comic, right? I've kicked myself for not buying certain books. And then I think about it and I go, okay, I use those funds to buy different books, right? Maybe they haven't gone up in value as much, but you know, you do what you can, right? So I'll be a 10 at that age. Like a 10 for this, like a nine point something for this would fetch, I don't know, you could check on eBay. Like just go date with Millie and see what a nine would get you. Should we do that right now? Hopefully it won't kill the stream, but let me try it out. I don't know if tens of the golden age, I don't think so. I don't know if I've ever seen a 10 of a golden age, right? Let's do this. A date with Millie. View similar. Where's the view similar? Oh, there's no view similar. A date with Millie, CGC. I'm going to go date with Millie, CGC, right? CGC. Like here, a date with Millie number one, CGC graded at 3.5 and that's 1956. This is the second series. The 1956 would be the first series, right? So the first series 3.5 goes for 800 or listed at $860, right? Here, a date with Millie, this one, and this one is from 1957. This is from the first series as well. A 7.5 highest graded for is listed at $1,500 US, right? Here, a date with Millie the model 101 from 1961, CGC graded at 9.0 is listed for $1,700. You would have to look on here. Like, literally, you have to dig down. It's hard to find. It's hard to find some of these books. Really. Twist. How are you doing? I'm in the wrong industry, Smith says. I saw 3.5 on eBay for over a thousand. Yeah. Yeah. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, free Assange, free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see wikileaks.org, defend.wikileaks.org, or our Julian Assange and Wikileaks playlist on SensorTube. Me too, Cheryl says. Hope you're having a great day. Having a good day, brother. Thank you very much. Stanley's story. What does it say? Happy birthday. Isn't it great? The way Millie is celebrating the birthday party? Bah. What's great about it? It's my birthday. Haha. It's the redhead's birthday in the back. And by the way, gang, apologies for not catching up, but thank you for the follows. Thank you for the support. Fano. Can. Hi. What is your oldest comic book? My oldest comic book? I have a handful from the 1940s. Not very many, and they're in low grade. They're in low grade. Knights of Old Comic. I want a teenage romance of 32, but now is not the best time to go after high profile collectibles like that one. Is a teenage romance of 32? Is that Matt Baker? Which one is that Knights of Old Comic? Teenage romance is number 32. Brother, how many times have me and you or anyone buying any comic said, oh, it's not the right time to buy it. It's a little too high. And then you realize it got away from you. The teenage romances go for a fair bit. Teenage romance is 32. Let's see collectibles, collectibles, collectibles. Let's see what we end up getting. It's not even available. I would have to go here. Okay, I got to check this out, gang. Teenage romance is 32, so it's in my radar. Oh, saucy, saucy, saucy. Here's the Matt Baker. Yeah, indeed. Matt Baker. Oh, we are coming for the thing. Let me link this up to you guys. Let me link this up to you guys. No, don't go for the plastic. Don't do it. Don't do it. That's my favorite Baker, is it? Yeah. I have a handful of Baker. Oh, what an amazing cover. I would kill to have that. I would kill to have that. I'm going to throw this little kitty cat down. Come on, down you go. Hold on a second, gang. Oh, look at them. They're both going on here. These kitty cats. I think this is the first time I'm doing a comic book haul with the kitty cats awake that are seeing boxes and papers and they're like going, oh my God, heaven, heaven. Look at them. They're like smelling it, going, wow, this is cool. So Matt Baker covers indeed. I love it that you can just grab kitty cats and go whoop. 4,000 was the final price. What great 4,000. What a beautiful cover. What a beautiful cover. Matt Baker romance comics fetch a huge amount. If you were buying Matt Baker covers 10 years ago, you'd be paying probably about 20% of what they're going for now, right? Wow, wow, wow. What a cover. What a cover. That is a beautiful cover, Matt. I should be putting money aside. And gang, nice old comic. I don't think the prices of these are going to go down. I really don't think so. I think the prices of some of these, the hot comics, the modern hot comics where people are chasing like 1 in 1,000, 1 in 500. I don't think the last, the price when it comes to on a long term basis, but the golden age books, some of the giants of the industry that have created some of these books, some of the hard to find books that didn't make it into the collector circle. I think what's going to happen is because of the money flow, the release of M1, there's been so much, like liquidity is being pumped into the market, but it's only going into for only a few people, right? And those people need to be able to find places to park their money. Like for example, hedge funds are buying crypto, Bitcoin to put it on their balance sheet so they can show their profits, right? So there's money being dumped into the market. And it's not money, it's currency, fiat currency, right? That people are trying to put places where devaluation, inflation, okay, is not going to diminish their value, right? Lots of new money flooding into the comic market for investors types since December. They've been inflating and keys, yeah. And it's been going on. The flood started about five years ago, five, six, seven, eight, nine years ago or so. You saw a wave come in. I remember going to a comic book show. This would have been about 10 years ago. A local comic book show in Vancouver where I went up to the guys. There were some books I was looking for, right? And I said, okay, do you have this? Do you have this? Do you have this? And one seller was like, dude, this is like the fifth show he had done in like three months. This is summer. The guy was from Alberta. So he was flying around doing shows or driving around doing shows. You can fly around with your comic boxes. He goes, this is like the fifth show or third show he had done. He's like, he said there are buyers coming on onto the scene and they're grabbing every key, every key. He said there was one show he went to. One person came in and just grabbed every key he had on the wall and he bought them all, right? And the guy was flabbergasted. The guy's been in the business for like 40 years, right? Buying and selling comic books. It's an underground hobby, by the way, right? So we'll see where it goes. We'll see where it goes. As long as the icon comics are protected for future generations, yeah, archiving, archiving, archiving. And by the way, one of the other reasons comic book prices have been going up, especially on the older comics and key comics and special edition comics, is because of museums are buying comic books now. So for example, in Canada, it's even worse now. It's even worse now. And I don't know if it's worse, it's just the words got out that this is art. This is an amazing place to park your money in terms of personal finance and investing, right? Like, one of the things, nice little comic you'll notice, in the 90s, like 80s, 90s, I don't know if in the early 2000s, but in the 80s and 90s, EC Comics, they were on the more expensive side, they were sought after, but collectors weren't really chasing them, right? And they especially weren't chasing the Canadian edition EC Comics, right? Because they would release them in the United States and they would release them in Canada as well, sometimes at the same time, sometimes like a month later or whatever it is, right? It's the Canadian edition. The advertisements are different and stuff like this. Now, as you can tell, the Canadian edition print runs are a lot lower than the American edition print runs, like way lower. Numbers wise, the United States right now has 330 million people population. Canada has 33 million people, right? So 10 times less population. I don't know if the circulation was 10 times less, but it was way lower. And in the 90s, 80s and 90s, the Canadian price variant EC Comics weren't fetching as high price. Now, from what I've seen, the Canadian price variants, especially in high grade, fetch a premium, premium price. One of the reasons for that is Canadian museums are buying them up, right? Canadian collectors want specifically Canadian variant comics, right? And it's not just EC Comics, there's other golden age comics that are Canadian variants. And some of them, some of the crime does not pay. They're fetching 10 times, five to 10 times what the American variants are fetching. Okay, so there's new money, new blood coming in and people with a new mindset saying, this is a good place to be. I wonder about this a lot with UK price books. Yeah, yeah. There are some UK price books are going up as well. I've seen some that are UK variants. They're nothing like the Canadian variants, because the Canadian variants came out during the same time as the American variants. They're very close at the same time. From what I understand, right? Bureaucracy kills. Elder God quote, in a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villains going to be. He's the exact opposite of the hero, and most times they're friends, like you and me. And the very, the line between villain and hero is very fine line, very fine line, which is why Batman had a contingency plan to take care of Superman if he all of a sudden crossed that line. And what is that series called? Justice, the one that looks into Superman crossing the line when he, when the Joker, I'm giving spoilers, but when the Joker kills Lois Lane and Superman goes and kills Joker and he goes justice, injustice, right? What an amazing series, right? The first one anyway, I've read that. Night Civil Comic, a few books in comic link auctions have doubled since December, have doubled since December. Wow. Wow. Well, the Federal Reserve with M1 increasing the money supply by 40% in one year, 40% of liquid money supply, fast money with M1 increasing by one year, and then them changing the definition to include other stuff so that 40% increase in money supply is masked relative to what they're reporting now, right? There's a lot, there's trillions of dollars in the markets right now, right? Insane. Batman have a contingency plan for the whole Justice League, it's super cool to me, it is actually, because of course Batman would, haha, yeah. Yeti Punk, I lucked out yesterday at a shop I got, I go to, I walked out with the first appearance of the Rocketeer. Nice, Dave Stevens, I have that, fantastic. Slayer, Star Slayer, number two, Rocketeer for next to nothing, I'm super stoked as I love pop characters, a great addition to my collection, awesome Yeti, awesome Yeti, I have that, and Dave Steve, I just bought a Dave Stevens, another Dave Stevens, Risqué Female Cover, coming to me, coming to me, now I need to watch a superhero movie, awesome, awesome. Gang, that's my comic we call, I hope you like, I'm very happy to have these, very happy to have these, and Cheryl send me a reminder to include, I'll remember, but just in case, include a walk with monsters as one of our reading options, I'd love to read it, I would love to read it, give a little, a little promo for Vault Comics, because Vault Comics is extremely underrated, extremely, there's so many independents out there that are so underrated, and Vault Comics is one of my favorite, same with Black Mask, and of course Valiant, right, so for sure, I would love to give some props to more independent publishers, indeed, indeed, indeed. Night's Wall Comics, still many bargains out there though, yeah, the speculators don't have the knowledge that only a passion for comics brings, indeed, Night's Wall Comics, yeah, and they will acquire that knowledge, the speculators will acquire that knowledge slowly, and it's a good time to buy these books now, before the people realize, wow, not all speculators are going to remain in the market, right, but there's going to be a handful that are going to go, wait a second, let's look into some of the other opportunities, right. Veracruz to kill, the opportunity cost of not buying keys seems pretty high right now, I don't see a collectible crash coming, well, unfortunately, you know, you could be a contrarian and say, yeah, it's coming because people don't see it coming, thank you for sharing my pleasure, Huckleberry, well, do awesome, Cheryl, I still want Lois Lane Part 2, man, elder god, if I find it, it's somewhere in my boxes, where, we will definitely read what happens to Superman when he turns into a cat, oh, that too, that too, yeah, Daisy, how are you doing, yeah, I did watch Return from Zemba, good book, gang, thanks for being here, I hope you enjoyed the comic book haul, and Speedy Gonzales outro, since we didn't do an intro, I am on Patreon, if you want to follow this work, if you want to support this work, Patreon is a great way to do so, gang, those of you who are supporting this work on Patreon, thank you very much for the support, it is in large part because of your support that we're able to do this, Yeti, great haul, chichou, I'm glad I didn't miss all of it this time, awesome, lonely thinking, thanks for the stream, it's my pleasure, nice, well, come on, crash, probably not soon, but books can't double every month, yeah, they will stabilize, right, they go up and they stabilize, and then other books follow, right, it's the same thing as any market, right, we are live streaming on Twitch, if you want to participate in these live streams, you want to be in Twitch, okay, and you can join our Twitch channel follow, and you should get notifications, you can turn them on, or you can join our Discord page, and you will get notifications about these live streams on Discord, and I do announce these live streams on Partler, Lo, Minds, VK, Gap, and Twitter, okay, and Lo, okay, and we do have a Discord page, you can come to our Twitch channel anytime you want, and type in social, and all the links will pop up, including the Discord page down at the bottom here, okay, so you're welcome to join us there, 12.5 hours, till next stream, 12.5, no, 10.5, before and I'll sit later, yeah, I expect Twitch might not send, oh really, yeah, because we've already streamed today, maybe, for live streams when we don't have any visuals, we will upload the audio to SoundCloud as a podcast, kitty cats are sleeping now, they went crazy with this thing, and we will be uploading this live stream to SensorTube, Pichute, and Rumble, and Afriano points to Odyssey at some point, okay, thanks for being here gang, very happy to share these, okay, awesome, bye everyone, and I'll see you in 10.5 hours as Elder God says, Elder God's mouth was a little off initially, you went the other way, so we'll see you in 10.5 hours if you can make it to a current events live stream, or even if you want to make it to a current events live stream, bye everyone, I hope you have a fantastic day.
