 He's got the comic book box wrapped up in a cardboard box, so I got my knife and I have to crack this open. So I find the seams and I just go through it, feel how this is packaged, totally sandwiched between multiple cardboards and stuff. Nice packaging, nice packaging, he cared for his comics. This one's heavier than the other one, it's a crayon affair, but in here. The comics didn't get too, so again he's got a whole group to get the package in there. So what we're gonna do is put these ones, the leftovers from the previous box here and we're gonna take a look at these, right? This packaging, right, eggs within bags. So he's taking good care of these books, right? Ooh, these are the valiants. I am really looking forward to reading this new relaunch stuff. I just, you know, these ones, I average them out in the spreadsheet and they basically ended up costing, I paid about $1.25 per comic. You know, the price tag on these is four bucks brand new, so, you know, and sometimes you can do that, right? If you want to read something, hold off on getting it until people start selling it on eBay or start selling it in lots or go to conventions and buy things in lots, right? That wasn't my intention, I just wasn't buying comics at that time. If I knew valiant was doing a relaunch back then, I would have hopped on right away. So this lot is Harbinger, really. This is number zero and it starts off from number one, so let me open it up. So I was happy to pay, you know, what he was asking for this, but since I was all sending offers on everything, you know, I had to send offers for this as well. And this is, think, think, Harbinger number zero to 19, so 20 issues. He had it listed for 35 and I paid 28 bucks for it, right? So $1.30 a pop, not including shipping. If you include shipping again, it's, you know, it cost me an extra, you know, $0.24 per issue, which is a fair bet, but these are heavy and I'm in Canada. Shipping is insane. Canada prices are expensive for many, many things, unfortunately. So these are listed as being mint. That means the guys, he bought them new and I'm happy with it. And he says, you know, I am selling a 20 issue comic run of the new Valiant Harbinger series. Issues include zero, one to 19 and all for, and all our first prints and in mint condition. Okay. I have no problem with what he's listed because these are all in mint condition and it's a beautiful run. I mean, I'm not even going to open one of these right now. Should we open? Let's stay consistent. Let's open one. Let's open Harbinger number seven. And Jim Shooter, when he started Valiant Comics in the late 80s, early 1990s when he went big. When he put out Harbinger, I've read a story on this where he picked up Harbinger number one and I do have Harbinger number one from the early 90s and he said this book was as important as their double number one, as important as Amazing Spider-Man number one and X-Men number one, one of those three anyway. And Harbinger number one from the early 1990s, 1992, I believe, it is as important book as X-Men number one for the comic book realm, for the comic book world, not to the general public, but to the comic book world because it was groundbreaking. He came up and within a couple of years became the third largest publisher challenging the top two Marvel and DC. And Harbinger number one is an amazing storyline, wow, Lord of the Harbinger series, anyway. Oh, it's the Serrana, Chris Satoe, I know a lot of these, you know, I'm not sure if they're telling stories or not, retelling the stories on over 20 nice pages, yeah, beautiful. So New York comic, the paper quality is very good, wow, look at this fire, super happy with this, got some reading to do, I've been reading for the new Valiance, I've been reading Rye and Dr. Mirage and some of the other books, just randoms here and there. I do plan on hopping on XO as well, love XO, the characters are amazing, so that lot, fantastic. Pick up another batch, right? So let's put this guy here, as we pull some of these out, we'll put some of them back. Here's a big, big package, let's crack this open, it's like Christmas, this should be my comic buy for a while since, oh nice, so number 28, I think that's the lowest it went that I bought these guys, so let's see what we got here. So this is Daredevil 8 issue lot, hopefully it's all together, this thing, 8 issue lot, he had them listed at 40 bucks, which was reasonable, 5 bucks a pop, and I offered 30 and he took 30, which is better, and he's graded them between good to very good, and number 28, I would definitely grade this better than a good if I crack it open, so number 28, two copies of 28, oh no, the second copy is in this batch, so it's got to be somewhere else. Okay, so we're going to make a mental note, there's 128 not here right now, so 28, oh he must have meant 29, he's got two copies listed as 28 and 28, but it's 29, okay that's good, so 28, 29, 31, 36, 39, 43, 44, and 46, and I picked these eight up for 30 bucks, comes out what is 30 divided by 8, so less than 4 bucks a pop, and if you average it over everything that I bought, these guys came out to less than 2 bucks a pop, including shipping, and I'm going to look at number 28, the lowest number one, and he's got it listed as good, I would give this higher based on the cover, but we'll take a look, let's see, oh yeah the cover is detached, okay so I'm not going to pull this sucker out, so a good rating, yeah a good minus maybe, the cover is detached, let's take a look at 29, my pop opened 28 anyway, this one the cover is good, and he's got this one listed as good as well, I mean the outs are, he didn't look at every single one, pull them out and take a look, right, he looked at the covers, he probably forgot that one was this detached maybe, I would give this one a good plus, and that's one thing their level is known for, the work of the things, right, nice, where are the creators for this, oh I guess Stanley wrote this, Stanley it is that eh, Gene Cullen, I don't know Gene Cullen, and Stan Lee, smiling Stanley, nice, Stanley book for less than two bucks a pop, we're happy with that, or less than four bucks a pop, right, three something, if you include shipping four bucks, we're good with that, I'm going to crack this open, I want to take a look at number 28, the cover is detached but I want to make sure the whole thing's stories together, right, here's the cover, that sits well enough, there's no chunks missing out of it, but it is detached, Gene Cullen, and beautiful, it's a firm book actually, it's nice, too bad about the cover, I would give it a good, yeah I would give it a good, but I would have put a note on there saying cover detached, I'm not sure what the rating system is for detached covers, probably a good minus, right, that's okay, so let's throw this one back, that's one lot down that we can put aside, and we have some extra daredevils sitting out here, what were the other ones that we had, 26, so it's not those ones, oh there's 46, 28, valiance, let's see if we can put a, get your daredevils together, so we're looking for 43, daredevil 43, 46 wasn't there, daredevil was missing 43, 79, no there's no 79, okay so we're looking for 43, or is it 43 to 43, let's take a look, so I ended up getting two copies of 43 which is, yeah there is, cool, which is with Captain America, which is cool, right, this is the cover, the other one is over there, so I knocked off this one already, so I'm looking one that has another 43 in it, there's one, cool, let's do this one, I think this one might be complete now, so this is 10 issues of daredevil, it goes from 43 to 67, and again they're from good to fine, so 43, 46, 47, 48, 51, 58, 62, we had from the previous box, 64, 66, and 67, perfect, right, so there's 10, and he had listed this for 30 and I'm pretty sure I paid 25, so 250 a pop for this one, and yeah we're happy with that, and they're good to fine, and I think they're, yeah, there's a lot more towards the fine grade than there is towards the good grade, which is perfect, let's take a look at that, this one, Captain America number 43, crack it open, yeah I would give this one a good plus, right, fine minus, there are the artists for this, or the writer, I'm assuming, I'm not sure if it's still Stan Lee doing it, and here's the Captain America popping up, all right, Captain America, let's take a look, Stan Lee and Collin, Gene Collin, so Stan Lee wrote it, and G. Collin I think penciled it, and the inking was done with Vince Colitta, lettering R.T. Seimick, Cola, so that's another batch, so one up to 67, so these guys, these guys, and these guys can be put in this box once I create a little bit of space, all right, let's take a look at this one, this one looked like, I don't know, I can't tell, he's packaged them really well, now I have all these, but I couldn't turn it down, XO number one, XO number two, number two, he's got, you know, XO six, seven, eight, and he goes all the way out, you know, XO Man of War number 18, and this was, let's find this, this was with the solar stuff, and he had listed at 35, and I bought these for 20 bucks, and just back in the day, just a note, in the early 90s, I bought a lot of Valiance, and I did go to some shows when the prices were going skyrocket, and I sold a lot of these books, I bought them all off the shelf, and I was getting discounts off the comics, but so I was buying these things, the price tag is $1.95, and they were pretty expensive for the time, because a lot of comics you could buy for $1.25, and I would buy these off the racks with a little bit of discount, and I was, you know, I bought multiple copies because I loved them, and I was thinking of maybe, you know, there'd be worth something later on, and they were, if you were around back then, and I did sell a lot of these, so this one, I bought this whole thing with the solar stuff, how many books total, I don't even know, let's check it out, this is, he hasn't even listed how many books, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18 books, I bought for 20 bucks, a dollar, something, a pop, I think I sold these exos for like 50s, 60 bucks back then, if you include inflation, there's a lot of, you know, it was good profits, it was good money, and I was just flipping that back into buying more comic books, I grew my comic book collection a lot back then, because I was getting funds coming in, so I was supplementing my comic book buying, and you know, this is the first appearance of Exo Man of War, and it's got a continuing series going on right now, and right now, if you're into investing, I think some of the earlier Exos, earlier Valiant comics were worth the buy, just putting a side note out there, because from what I've read of the people that bought the new Valiant, relaunched it, they plan on growing Valiant for it to be number three, and if the trend continues right now with movies, TV shows, and stuff like this, if anything like that comes along for Valiant, these things will possibly, could be worth more money than 20 bucks for a lot, right? Anyway, there should be 20 here, I'm not going to bother going through these, actually I'll go through Exo Man of War number one, because I'm going to show it to you. At the time, I mean the covers were very simple for Valiant comics, at the time they were, you know, a lot of the other publishers they're called, the covers were busy, and it was insane, it was a crazy period in comics, the 90s, insane period, with the distributor wars, and marvel going almost belly up, well it did go belly up, so these are listed in mint condition, and they're in grading system, you would rate them as a near mint, right? But they're basically mint condition, right? I don't think they've ever read, oh man this brings back memories, the first panel, the first page of Exo, right? Beautiful, and the color scheme for Valiant comics was absolutely brilliant, very vibrant, very vibrant, and Exo is, he was a barbarian, I guess, savage lands or whatever you call it, he was a barbarian, and he came across the Exo Armor, and he's a warrior, he's basically Iron Man for Valiant comics, his tech is, you know, in anime there's a lot of the stuff with armor, and people getting into armor and stuff like this, some of them are amazing, Mag, yeah, anyway, some of them are amazing, we won't go on a tangent, one day we'll start talking about animation, so these are awesome, so all we're gonna do is make sure, you know, they're all here, and seven, eight, nine, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, eighteen, and then we got the solar, so let's check out the solar, and this is solar number two, three, I think Arata did the first appearance of number three, and then six and seven, and then what we have here, this is actually the second printing of Man of the Atom number 10, and it's the first cameo appearance, full page appearance of eternal warrior, and this is the first appearance, first full appearance of eternal warrior, solar number 11, very underrated books, very underrated books, okay, so awesome, that's good to go, oh more GI combat, cool, because we're looking for the GI combat, right, the previous box, didn't have everything filled up, and I think we're looking for 22 more, I'm gonna assume they're all gonna be here, I'm not gonna go back and do the counts, but we'll count them, but I'm not gonna match them up, GI combat, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, so there's I think another eleven we're looking for, which is, might be the vertical stuff, but they all seem to be here, fine, now he has some stuff here that's not boarded, so I'll have to go back and board these, but they look like good comics, they do collect some war comics, not sure why, but I like it, they're the Herbingers, okay these are the, they're heavy, newer books are heavy, they're super heavy newer books, so that's why this box was heavier, I guess, they're printed in higher quality paper, they use everything, that's partially the reason for the price increases, but I mean there's inflation as well, but I wish they would reduce the prices because I think what's happened is, oh and I know what this is, and I think the price, the cost of the books is too expensive for kids to get into comic books, oh you guys gonna love this, this is Secret Wars, full set, two copies of each, this is Marvel's Secret Wars, and it's one to five, and he says they're in main condition, so they would be near meant in grading, and they look amazing, and he's put two issues in each bag, okay I don't know if you can see it, after I've been watching SHIELD of course, and after it was revealed Sky was quick, I was looking for this, so I got two copies of this now, right, so awesome, and Marvel's is doing Secret Wars thing again, I'm just gonna crack this open, and oh the price-wise in this, there's 12 bucks in total, right, he had it list them at 30, and I ended up picking this up for 25, which is an amazing price, the cover price, I don't even know what the cover price on these is, it's a nice book, so I would list this as a very fine plus, but a lot of books you pick off the shelves right now are very fine plus, wow, I don't know, well I know some of the story background to this, this is Bendez, and Delotto, Gibral Delotto, beautiful, and these are printed with seriously high quality paper, their prestige format I guess, I'll show you this, it's a little dark, the panels are dark, I'm not sure if this is gonna come out well or not, so 12 bucks, not only the price tag on this in Canada was $5.75, well we'll do a US, it was four bucks US, and I ended up paying two bucks a pop, and these things are going for higher value, especially this one, so I'm happy to get this set, I haven't read it, and I will give it a read, I'm happy, happy, I start putting some of these back because they're starting to take up a lot of space, the GI combat in next, another bag, put the secret wars in there, I'm super happy about the secret wars, I've been looking for these right, what we got here, whole master of cunning food, and well let's pull it out and see, again some of these some of these books are really hard to find in really good condition and mint condition, and these are beautiful copies, master of kung fu, where are you master of kung fu, master of kung fu, he had these listed for $12.50, and I offer them 12 bucks, and there's eight issues, and let's see hopefully they're all together here, yes they are nice, awesome, so he's listed in mint condition, so basically near mint, number 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, number 100, 101, supposed to be 125 in here, so 125 is not here, he's got 101, you see 101, 101, it's supposed to be 125, but he's got 101, which is okay, which is, so how many comics is supposed to be, one, two, three, four, five, eight, so there's eight comics total, and what kind of condition are they, fantastic condition, let's crack one open, let's crack open number 18, is it mint, or he says very fine to near mint actually, so this is near mint for sure, Steve Engelhardt, that the author Paul Gullasey, I don't know Gullasey, beautiful book, oh very nice condition, I like this, near mint, very fine near mint, the least it is is near mint, mine is not, this is near mint, this is a good book, cool, that's the beauty, and we got blood shots, oh this isn't all the blood shot, let's see, so there's another, there's a whole bunch of blood shots, we're gonna have to put it on the side to put them all together, it's gotta be in another box, or another pack anyway, so let's put this here, so all I do is just go across and there's tape on them, and there's board on this side right, so sometimes it's trickier if they're tighter, tighter in there, harbinger, nice, unity, so picked up unity, let's check it out, unity one to four, he listed it for six, I picked it up for four, so bucka pop, I'm very happy to pay a bucka pop for reading unity, and these things are like last year I think, is four in here, valiance unity, and the unity storyline from the 1980s was absolutely brilliant as well, so that's unity, quantum and woody, there's a quantum and woody here, I don't know where the quantum and woody shadow man, harbinger wars, harbinger wars, I was actually looking to read quantum and woody number one and pick up the series, and this was like a few months ago last year, I believe anyway, there's a lot of hype on this, people are loving it actually, so let's take a look, I don't know where this one is, so that's unity, let's see there's shadow man here, but I don't think it came with the shadow man's, no, so we haven't come across shadow man yet, let's see harbinger wars five issues, so we got the harbinger wars, let's just check that out, harbinger wars five issues, he had them listed for eight, I picked them up for six, harbinger wars, there's five books, two copies of number one, or two different variant covers, cool, looking forward to reading those, that's good, and then what have we got, blood shots, harbinger, oh yeah blood shot couldn't complete yet, because I wonder if this was with the blood shot lot, I'm not sure why I have the unity quantum and woody, that looks like it's an extra, he must have thrown that in there to fill it out, sweet thank you, or another pack and put these ones back in there, we'll put that master of course, put these guys back in, we'll rack this open right, a lot of bags laying around now, and blood shots fantastic, made his first appearance in rye number zero, and oh there's more harbingers here, I guess I didn't take it to 19 over there, so harbingers I gotta put back there, this is blood shots, blood shot zero, so this blood shot goes, check it out, blood shot from zero to 18, so zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, thirteen, seventeen, eight, I like blood shot, descendant of rye basically, supposed to be harbinger, supposed to go to harbinger, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, so how hard do we go, oh yeah there's fourteen, all right, so I'm gonna plop these back, I'm putting them in order, so my harbingers are here, we're gonna put the blood shots in here, actually we're gonna put out one of these guys, I'm gonna put blood shots in here, we got one, two, three, four more packs to go through, okay, it takes a while to organize your comics, entertainments, get out, oh this one's bigger, so it's gonna take a little bit more doing to open it, oh more GI combat, so we need it, and the war store is cool, so I think if I remember correctly we needed 11 more war comics, right, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, perfect, GI combat number 125, sorry that's the price tag, this is GI combat 279, right, 280, the losers, losers, I'm not sure if this was, they made the movie out of this or not, the movie The Losers could be, we gotta check into that actually, and then we got Garthiness, vertical war stories, awesome, some of these aren't in boards so I'll have to put them in boards, I'm gonna put this on the side, because some of the comics need to be boarded, so all the war comics were there, well not sure if all the numbers were there, they look right, check it out, Shadow Man, awesome, awesome, awesome, wait, so Shadow Man starts off with number zero, and the Bloodshot, if I didn't tell you, Bloodshot he was selling them for 35, I grabbed them for 25, right, so 19 comics for 25 bucks, and Shadow Man, Shadow Man, where is Shadow Man? Shadow Man Run was from zero to 14, all in mint condition, which basically means near mint, but mint condition, and they all look like mint condition, and here's Shadow One number zero, and Shadow Man number one, Shadow Man was awesome, great read, and one of the greatest villains, Master Dark, wow, what a great villain, let's see what we got, I think we still need Daredevil to complete some of the lots, so we'll take a look, number 88, let's see if we can put a Daredevil number 88 together, so Daredevil number, this lot should be, is there an 82, come on, there we go, so this one was a lot of 12, he was selling it for 30, I bought it for, I believe 25, I bought it for 25, and it goes from 88 to 90, 82 to 99, so let's check it out, we got 82, 83, three copies of 84, 80, we need 87, 87, there's 87, so 84, 87, 88, 90, 91, 95, 96, and 99, and these are, he's put them in the range of good to very good, just from the cover of this, number 82 is very good, very good, and here's 83, oh listen, Mr. Hyde too, oh wow, Mr. Hyde's in this black widow, and this looks like a great copy, I'm gonna crack this one open, so 12 Daredevils, close to the hundreds, four, so this is what kind of condition, very good, I would just give this one a very good minus, we're the artists for this, and authors, Stan Lee editor, Jerry Conway writer, Alan Wise, artist, Bill Everett, Bill Everett, Inker, Artie Semite Letter, Barry Windsor Smith, or Barry Smith, but he's pretty sure that's Barry Windsor Smith, Barry Windsor Smith, that was a legend, he's amazing, Daredevil and the Black Widow, and Mr. Hyde, I think this was Mr. Hyde from Shield, Skye's dad, right, great, classic, classic, and this should be 1970, 1971, 1971, cool, very nice, happy, happy, as far as the investment goes, I hope the series is good, because these would be a great investment, if the series is not good, no worries, they're great comics, so this goes all the way to 99, and 99 looks like to be in rougher shape, so I would say it's a good copy, good plus actually, it's still a nice copy, sweet, nice books, these moved in, and if you remember we're looking for 106 I believe, and this was good minus copy, looks like it anyway, 106, Daredevil, let's see if we can find it, we're looking for 79, and here's a 79, cool, 79, right, I'm just gonna put this one in here, and I'm pretty sure, oh yeah, there's the 106 we're looking for, so I'm just gonna throw the 106 in too, so he said this slot with the 106 was very good plus to find, but this is definitely, you know, a good, so overrated on this slot, we're overgraded on this slot, not rated, but overgraded, and this is the last pack, I hope you're enjoying this, I'm not sure how many of you have stuck around to go through all two boxes, but for me it's fun really, and I have enough reading material now, well I'm gonna be reading all the harbinger, all the valiance, that's for sure, and I'm gonna probably take a look at some of the horror stuff, the giant sizes, maybe we'll do a reading from one of those compilations, like the way we did in the last readings that we did, and these are all Daredevil's, all of them Daredevil's, a huge lot, so let's take a look, there's something we're looking over here with the Daredevil's, what was I looking for, so I need two copies of, or I need 136, 137 we needed a filler, right, so there's two copies of 136 and a 137, so these ones were missing from the previous batch, and they're here now, two copies of 136, and they're supposed to be very good to find plus condition, from the covers they look good, that would have to pull them out to take a look, but based on what we've seen so far, the guy's been pretty accurate, right, now we're looking for 134, see 134, 134, Daredevil's, three copies of 134, two copies of 135, so this Daredevil, oh I think this was the first thing we tried to do, right, maybe one of them, 126, do we have 126 here, so 126 somewhere, so what have we got here, what have we got here, so for this lot, 13 issues, very good to find plus, asking 25, pay 30, we got 126, two copies, 128, 129, two copies of 130, two copies of 133, three copies of 134, and two copies of 135, let's crack open, so these are, this is very good to find, find plus, not bad, definitely very good plus, and this one definitely looks like a fine plus, let's check it out, so we're gonna check out 133, there's two copies of these, I will give this one a fine, which is fine plus, same deal, wow so much writing, crazy amount of writing, Marv Wolfman, Bob Brown and Jim Mooney, artist, so Marv Wolfman is the writer, I haven't read the earliest Daredevil's I've read, Frank Miller's, I haven't read any of these so I'm looking forward to at least reading one or two of these, just to see, hopefully I can find a run, a story and read the whole thing, so this looks good as well, perfect, that's that, and that's that, so I bought 20 different, 20 different lots from, in this huge selection that I bought, so I've been opening up this different panels, different, what do you call it, different tabs, so as long as I got 20 tabs open, we're in the clear right, so there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, that's it, okay awesome, I got some work to do, I gotta go and board up and board up a couple of them, well some of the handful of the comics and this was my buy, it's, if you're buying comic books, if you're collecting comics, it's, you know, you end up buying single issues because you need to fill things up, or you end up buying lots of runs of stuff or lots of stuff, for this stuff, for Daredevil's I've decided to approach it by buying lots off eBay and then once I finish buying, I got a pretty good idea of what I have, my main thing is to get, you know, the early numbers 1, 2, whatever it is, like 50 or so and I'm buying multiples, you know, if there's doubles, triples of stuff, I'll just end up putting those back on eBay and once I complete my run, I'll just get rid of the extras, sell the extras at some point maybe, right, and that's the way I'm approaching the Daredevil buys, the Valiant buys, they're my reads, I love Valiant comics, for the Tomb of Dracula and GI combat and some of the other ones, I'm curious on those, I like more comics, I like looking at it, sort of tells us history, right, human artifacts and horror, magic and voodoo stuff, I find it interesting, it's, you know, some of the more G-rated stuff with the comic code of code approved and more of the adult-oriented stuff with Hellblazer and nothing touches Hellblazer, really, if you ever get a chance, read Hellblazer, right, as far as that genre goes, okay, thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed going through this collection, going through the spy and yeah, I loved it, fun little thing to do for a couple of hours and just, you know, get exposed to some art, some history and get all excited, okay, I'll see you guys in the next video, bye for now.
