 Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome to another live stream and today is July 4th, 2019. And what we're going to do today is take a look at some comic books. It's basically a comic book live stream and we're going to be recording this as well. Aside from that, for those in the United States, happy 4th of July. For those in Canada, happy late Canada Day. Canada Day was July 1st. For everyone else, happy, what are we in? Thursday. Okay, so that's what we're going to do today. We're just going to wait until people roll in a little bit. Let me pop out the chat, whereas I pop out. And we're going to use two different angles today. This is the one we're just doing the live stream. I'm going to talk. And then once we start doing the video, I'm going to show you. I got four short boxes to go through. And this is the angle that we're going to use in these little boxes that I got out. I spent a day basically going through a third of my collection to pull out some comic books to list on eBay and see if they sell. And for multiple reasons, really, sometimes I do this. I go through my collection, part of my collection to sell some comic books, generate some funds that I need for either to pay back some debts or buy some equipment or do whatever it is I need to do. The other thing is I wanted to collect some data for the mathematics that we're doing. How are you doing? Happy 4th of July. Happy 4th of July to you as well. Curious Devin. Good afternoon. How are you doing? Keldon Storm. Welcome. Welcome to another live stream. I hope you guys are doing well. If you're in the States, I hope you have a nice holiday. I'm assuming it's busy. It's crazy. I spent one 4th of July in the US and it was insane. There's so much stuff going on, like fireworks and parades and picnics and barbecues and everything and anything. Bath, thunderstorm, just rolled in Virginia. Oh, really? There's been a few tornadoes hitting different parts of the world. So those are crazy. I've seen some video. I don't know why, but I do this every now and then. I really like tornadoes. I don't think I would like it if it was happening in my area, but I find tornadoes extremely fascinating. Very fascinating. I've seen a large one close up when I was a kid and I think that's one of the reasons I found it so fascinating. Just pressure, right? Insane. Thunder and lightning. Weather is amazing. The different types of weather we get and the extreme weather we get. Just phenomenal, right? Just phenomenal. I mean that VA storm. Who are you in Virginia? Oh, you guys are in the same place. Keldon Storm. It's by your namesake. Pomegranate liqueur with ice and soda. Delicious. Great for a sunny day, hot day. Earthquake in LA this evening. This evening. Was there no? That's not evening yet. Martin, are you doing predictions? How are you doing? Have you seen the video of the guy who shot the video of the tornado coming right at him? There's a few of those. I'm not sure which one. Is it a recent one? There's one in China that I watched this morning, which was insane. Like it's so close and all this shrapnel is flying past the guy. I think he's sitting in a car and I'm just hooking up my mp3 or my voice recorder because we're going to shoot this. Shoot a video of this. Is that called a monstra? Oh, that's the plant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing. That's called a divider. I was like, what? Yeah, this thing's beautiful. We came, we moved here and I looked around the house to see where it would be happy. And I believe this was one of the first plants that I put into his place because I figured it would love it there. And it loves it there. I haven't moved it since placing it like three years ago. Oh, this morning, Martin. Oh, wow. I didn't hear about the earthquake in LA. How big was it? Comic books, comic books, one man's sound, one man's sound, Spotsveil, Spotsveilnia, storm, Spotsveilnia. What is your opinion on the legalizing cannabis? 100% prohibition needs to end. I don't know if we should take the form of legalization. De-criminalization would be ideal, which is basically just not on the books. The government doesn't have a say in what people do. That would be my ideal thing. Legalization sort of means the government sort of hijacking and taking control of it, but it's stepping in the right direction and in prohibition. Hi, Chicho. Hope you're okay. Doing good, King. Doing good, King. King Tom. 6.4. That's pretty big, Martin. Your friend in LA called you. I have Raltos in LA. I've been to LA many, many times. They're used to earthquakes. It's crazy. They laugh it off to a certain degree and some have PTSD in regards to earthquakes. They're like, no, earthquake. I'm like, why are you living in the earthquake zone? Get out if you don't like it. All right. I'm going to lock myself in. I need mobility. Let's check it out. Yeah, I finally made it to a stream. Arcana side. How are you doing? What is the country that you want to visit the most? The country that I want to visit the most. There's been a few over the years, but for me, just because of the politics and economics, and I know some people from there, musicians and artists and stuff like this, Iceland. I love what they did during the aftermath of the 2008 scam. They put bankers in jail. I like the internet freedom that they've introduced. I love their pirate party. I love that they're basically about digital freedom. I love volcanoes. I don't mind the cold as long as it's not crazy cold. So we'll visit in the summer. I'd love to go to South America, but that's out of the books. But for me, tell you the truth, I haven't traveled for a long time. So I haven't traveled left British Columbia since 2002. So Dr. P, greetings and blessings. Iceland is on my list too. Cool. Yeah, I'd love to visit Iceland. By the way, you sound like you're a libertarian. I follow certain libertarian tendencies for sure. Non-interventionism, freedom of speech, no censorship, sound monetary policy. Ron Paul is one of the people that I look up to, consistent. How can someone mistake nine infinities multiplied by infinity, raised to the power of infinity with one? How can one mistake that maybe they don't know mathematics? Hey, chichotcha, Nicholas, how are you doing? Comic books. You're gonna like this. No, see, are you on the political right? I don't know if I'm on the right or left. I don't, I don't follow the, what do you call it, the linear system, right and left. That doesn't make sense to me. It's, some people on the left would love me. Some people on the left would hate me. Some people on the right would love me. Some people on the right would hate me. I think that's because they've, they're caught up in rhetoric and propaganda personally. View my project art from my new book. Nikoi, no links. If you're here to post links, you gotta go find another live stream. Okay, what comic book have we today? Nicholas? Here, let me show you the angle. Why don't we take the political compass test on that? I'm not interested in online tests and stuff. Here, let me show the angle. I'm gonna do an intro, by the way. We're gonna shoot the video and then when we're shooting the video, I'm probably not going to be engaging with chat, so just a heads up. Okay, so I'll give an introduction and stuff like this. Okay, Nikoi, you gotta be the Nikoi, NikoiX. So we're not sure what you're saying. There is no links. You're definitely welcome to stay here and participate and have a great time during our live stream, but no spamming, no ridiculous trolling. Okay. As far as the angles, oh yeah, that's what I was going to tell you. I'll give you an intro for the video as well, so I don't want to make the intro too long for you guys right now, so you have to listen to it again. Hi, I just got to ask, what kind of tree is that in the background? This guy, someone mentioned what it was. It was, I don't know the name. It's... No, that's not it. What was it? Monstera. It sounds like it's a Monstera. If you do a search, is it a Monstera? I gotta learn plant names, man. I know some. Yeah, it's a Monstera. Okay, so here's a link for the name, Monstera. Chisholm, I listened to the Dark Knight comic video you made a few years ago about the Venom story arc nearly daily. What are the chances to continue the series? I don't want to read a whole series, Ark and a Side, is because I like giving sort of an intro, teaser, first appearance, comic books that, you know, that I find interesting that I want to read, like the horse one, I forget, with a national velvet and stuff like this. I don't want to read the whole series because I do, you know, it's nice when people support creative work, right, creators and stuff like this, so I don't want to be known for covering story arcs where people don't have to buy the comic books or continue reading themselves, right? Sort of, if you want to call it pirating, like I do pirate stuff for sure, I do download stuff, but if I can afford it, I do buy them. I'm in sort of Hollywood, I'm sort of, you know, I've talked about that before. Comic books, when I haven't had enough money to buy comic books, I have sampled comic books from online, right, and then when I had the funds, I would go and buy them, so, and we have so many comic books to read, so I don't think I'm going to continue the Venom storyline from Batman, and Venom we're talking about is the drug the Bane uses to get his strength and stuff, and it's the first introduction of that of that steroid, really, that Batman, for those of you that don't know, Batman uses when he failed to save a child, it's an amazing story arc, and it's Batman, Legends of the Dark Knight number, correct me if I'm wrong on the sarcastic side, Batman, Legends of the Dark Knight number 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or is it 6, 9, 10, 6, 9, 6, 8, 9, 10, I can't remember which one it is, I think it's 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Do I want to sell this plant? No, absolutely not. I need one that already got water. My sword is sharp today. Martin, I think you might have to bring out, did you vote for Trump, and will you vote for Trump? I'm in Canada, and I wouldn't vote for Trump, and I didn't vote for Trump, if anything I would vote for independence, right? It's 16, okay cool, so 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman, Legends of the Fantastic Story arc, maybe someday arc and aside, okay, I will dismiss it completely, maybe one day we'll read the whole arc, could you show the camera around your house to see if there's anything that I would like to purchase, okay on that note, what we're doing today is I'm going to show you some comic books that I'm going to be listing on eBay, okay, I got two short boxes here, my first ever video with you at 16 I think, cool, oh was it, the Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman, Martin, that's cool, that's one of my favorite Batman story arcs ever, ever, really it's amazing, so underrated, so underrated, okay I'll keep it in mind arc and aside, just tune in, hello everyone, Lord how are you doing, we finally made it, one man's sound, I really enjoy the intros to your comic book readings, any chance you will be doing videos with more book history, oh for sure one man's sound, we've got a whole bunch of comic books we're going to be reading, I just haven't got around to it, we will this summer, we're going to start it back up again, okay, I already picked up the next four that we're going to read and one of them is from a, is a golden age war comic that we ended up getting because of a contribution that Nicholas sent, so I know that I've been anxious to read it, like waiting to read it, the stream basically just began, Lord, so guys let me show you the angle that we're going to use, so this is the angle, here are the comic books, okay, the video, this is the live stream camera, right above it is the HD camera that I'm going to record on the lapel mic, so what I'm going to do is we're going to, I want to go through and show you guys these comics, okay, and let me just turn this off for a second, so what we're going to do, we're going to go through the comics, I'm probably not going to be engaging with chat because I do want to go through these and shoot the video and then after we're done with the comic books, I'm not sure if we're going to get a chance to look at all these four and a half boxes of comics, right, but what I plan on doing is loading these on slowly on eBay over the next few months just to generate some funds and pay back some debts and acquire some equipment and just upgrade and stuff, and we'll see how much money this generates and I want to collect the data so we can use it in ASMR math linking it up to investing personal finance and stuff like this, okay, Batman gets the best bird, Shadow of the Bat was good, Shadow of the Bat was fantastic, yeah, fantastic series, gonna take the dog out, she really wants to throw the ball around, she's giving me the sad eyes, I'll be back here soon, okay, enjoy the walk, and I hope your dog enjoys the walk too, okay, I'm going to turn off, I'm going to turn on this video, I'm going to turn this off, thingamajig, and I'm locked in here, let me lock myself in here too, hey, come here you, come on, and I'll give you a little intro, turn on the sound, turn this guy, turn this guy on, and I'll open the door and give ourselves a little bit of, let's see, this is good, this is good, I gotta take off my glasses, okay, let's put this guy here, this guy's here, that guy's there, test, test, test, one, two, three, yeah, yeah, let's do a little marker, computer back a little bit, this is Chichu, welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book related video, and what we're going to do today is we're going to take a look at hopefully most of what I have here, which is basically four and a half short boxes, and these comics are for my personal collection, and what I did a few days ago was basically go through about a third of my comic book collection and pull these guys out, because what I want to do with these is list these on eBay in the next few months and sell some of these comics, whatever ends up selling, and it's multifold the reason why we're doing this, one of the reasons is I want to raise some money, raise some funds, take care of some debts, some obligations, hopefully be able to raise enough either through selling all of these or pulling out more books to be able to get some funds in to do an upgrade to our system the way some of the equipment that we have here that we're using to create this content, as well I want to use some of the data in basically the work that we've started regarding personal finance, investing, and the ASMR math stuff, because what we're going to do is we're going to take the data that we collect from the sale of these books, and basically incorporate it into the videos we've been making regarding personal finance, and take a look at some of the metrics that we can take a look at when it comes to investing in something, and maybe return on investment, and take a look at some of the graphs, and basically what the price of something has done, and how you can take all that and incorporate it into your life if you're thinking about investing or thinking about creating a budget and managing your finances, right? All that aside, let's take a look at the comic books, and just a heads up as well, we're live streaming this on Twitch as well, so after we're finished taking a look at some of these comic books, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to chat, and we'll say our goodbyes, and load up these videos on BitShoot and YouTube after we're finished editing them, and put them in order, and stuff like this, okay? Aside from that, let's start off with this box, and then we'll slowly, I'll make some space once we take a look at this one, I'll put some of that, you know what, that's sad, let me pull out some comics from here, let me pull out these randoms that I've put out here, you can put these guys out of the way, and one other thing we're going to do, because these are the comics that I have here, one of the reasons I'm also doing this as well, listing these comics on eBay, is if you've been following my comic book videos, you'll know I did some comic book publishing back in the early mid-1990s, early to mid-1990s, so people haven't asked me, because I've shown some of those comics that I ended up publishing, there was about 14 of them or so, and people have been asking me where they can acquire some of those comics, so I'm going to be listing some of the comics that I published in my eBay page as well, and I'll provide the link in the description of this video to my eBay site, eBay account as well, okay, so that way you know what we're putting up as we start putting those up if you're interested in following this work, okay? So let's take a look at those things, there's just a bunch of comics, a handful of comics here that aren't my comic books, and the rest of these I'm going to show you are going to be mainly the comic books that I published, okay, so some of these books, they're low value, some of them are higher value, right, and I have sold on eBay before, I haven't sold comic books on eBay for, last time I sold comic books on eBay was back in like 2002, no not about 2002 to 2004, so I sold some comic books, I buy a certain amount of comic books, actually I buy comic books from eBay, my comic book hauls can attest to that, and I sold some random stuff over the years on eBay as well, right, so that account that I have on eBay sort of has been with me for a very long time that I buy and sell things on, right, so some of these things are low price, some of them are higher price, and the reason I picked out a, you know, nice mishmash of comic books, and these comic books are basically from the 1980s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s, right, so from the last 40 years, I didn't pick any comic books, if I recall correctly, anything from the 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s, okay, one of the reasons is that 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s, from the last 40 years, I have, most of my collection is from that era, and I have multiple copies of certain issues, so a lot of the books that you're gonna see here right now, I have additional copies of, or additional copy of, there's a, you know, a handful of books here that I don't, they're the only copies that I have that I might end up selling them, okay, maybe, okay, but the ones that you're gonna see appear first on eBay, or the ones that I have additional copies of, or additional copy of, okay, and just to give you an example, let me pull these guys out, and some of the ones I might give you some dates on these, if I remember correctly, so here's two books that came out recently, okay, I bought extra copies of these as soon as I found out why they were being chased or what was appearing in them, okay, and it's Batman Damned, Brian as a as a relo, and this is, I apologize about the lighting, it was supposed to be cloudy today but it is sunny, so this is Batman Damned number one, okay, one variant, and here is number two, and this is a Jim Lee cover, okay, and these two I'm gonna be listing on eBay, and these ones should go at a fairly good price, they should go well above $50 each, okay, and the reason is it's got Batman's junk in there, okay, uncensored, so the editors at DC didn't catch some nudity that was appearing in the comic books here, so I'm gonna list these two guys, I'm not sure if they're gonna come up first or not, okay, initially the first books that I'm gonna be listing are the ones that I published under Mermaid Publications, right, and I'll link, I'll provide links in the description of this video to a video where you can, we talk about those comics a little bit, and we will be talking about them more, here's another magazine that I pulled out, and it's basically Death of Superman, News Time Magazine that they put out, okay, now this doesn't fetch a high price, okay, it's fairly common, but what I also did was pull out the doomsday books and the Death of Superman set, so most likely I'm gonna include this with a set of Death of Superman, the first appearance of doomsday and whatnot, right, I just wanted to pull this out, here's one that they will fetch a high price, and the odds are I'm not gonna put this up right away, it's gonna take me, like seriously, it's gonna take us a few months to go through these listies, right, and I'm gonna do them as time allows me to do these, right, New Mutants, number 98, this is a mint copy, when this came out I grabbed five copies of these, right, this is one of them, it should be the mint plus copy that I grabbed, and I have it in Mylar, so we're gonna put this up, it's a beautiful copy, I'll definitely open it up just to take a look, make sure there's no flaws in it, so this will be listed there at some point as well, put this right here, here's a couple books that came out in 2007 I believe, Miracle Man number one, and The Varian Cover number one, and this is Tom King, okay, and it was a 12 issue mini series, and this is fetching a nice price anyway, more than what I bought them for, which was cover price, let me show you these books, these are the mermaid books that I published, okay, I grabbed two set, two of each, right, one of, one set I'm gonna be selling listing one at a time, and I'm gonna list one with a complete set in there, okay, so let me put the set together, this, this, this, okay, here's the first one, which is Gogo Boy number one, this is Gogo Boy number one, Gogo Boy number two, Gogo Boy number three, okay, and this is the ash can of Gogo Boy, it's the first issue we print is sort of to pass around, and it's the same story as Gogo Boy number three, but the original artwork which was rougher than Gogo Boy number three, okay, and personally I'm very proud of this series, reason being, well, it's claimed to fame in my book anyway, and I'm gonna list each one individually and as well a set, but this is the first LGBT superhero comic book series ever, I'm not sure what it's gonna fetch, I really don't know, I sold some of these on eBay back in right at the beginning when I created my eBay page, back in 2002, 2003, and a set of these back then was selling for around $36 US, and back then it wasn't, it's a unique story, back then it wasn't, the collecting industry wasn't as intense as it is now in terms of paying a premium price for the first appearances of things, okay, here's another series that I put out which is Eye for an Eye, so this is Eye for an Eye number one, Eye for an Eye number two, Eye for an Eye number three, okay, and I'm gonna list these individually and as a set as well, that's one of the main reasons I decided to do this because people were asking me where they could get some of these books, and they're hard to find, they're very low print run by the way, these books, and I've done a lot of moves since then, so there aren't that many of these that made it with me, unfortunately. Here's another series, Starry Night, it's pretty dark cover, my apologies, if it was cloudy it would appear better. Starry Night number two is a post-apocalyptic story arc, and Eye for an Eye is post-apocalyptic as well, but this is number three, and Eye for an Eye is sort of a skater thrasher comic book, it's got violence and people skateboarding and whatnot. This is Lander, Lander number one, and this thing is again post-apocalyptic, I love post-apocalyptic story arcs, and it's sort of a, and this is Lander number two, and again there aren't too many of these around, there are very few indeed, and this thing is about a story arc of a Lander, this person here, helping a bunch of refugees escape a city and make their way through the desert, and then this is Mortal Coil Ashkan, which is sort of the first issue of Mortal Coil that we printed at the same time as Gogo Boy Ashkan, and it contains the first issue of Mortal Coil, so those are the mermaid comics I'm going to be putting out, I got some random stuff here, well if we have time we'll take a look at those as well, but I'll put those aside, let's take a look at these, let's take a look at these, here let me pull out, make some room here, I love my valiant comics, right, and when these first came out I grabbed a few of these, this is the first appearance of bloodshot, cameo, eternal warrior number four, okay, mint condition, or mint plus, I'll call everything mint, unless otherwise note it in the description, so that's the first cameo appearance of bloodshot, here's the first full appearance of bloodshot, right number zero, I might add load these on as one set or individual, I think I grabbed a couple copies of each, again mint condition, and here's eternal warrior number five, which is the second full appearance of bloodshot, important books from the valiant universe, so these ones we'll be listing for sure, let me show you this, this infinity gauntlet number one, okay, we'll list this one, the odds are I'm going to list this, or I might list this one separately, silver surfer number 50, and we've done a reading of this, silver surfer number 50, and I believe we flipped through eternal infinity gauntlet number one in a video, right, or we might have just read this, right, so important books, I really, this silver surfer number 50, it's an important book, it's a beautiful book, really it's a beautiful book, I really like this, the story told in this, kicking it into infinity gauntlet, this was one of the best crossovers, epics that marvel put out, here there's some number ones, let's just flip these up, here is new warriors number one from early 1992, 92 or 91, no I have to put my glasses on to read it, okay this was a great series by the way, new warriors number one, fun series to read, Guardians of Galaxy number one, and the price tags, some of these books, you're going to see price tags on here, okay, because some of these books in the 1990s I was collecting and I was selling at the same time as well, right to feed my hobby, and some of these books were in the boxes that would take to a comic book show, and going to conventions and stuff generated enough money for me to buy more comics, right, sort of investing in my hobby, Guardians of Galaxy number one and Ghost Rider number one from the early 1990s, this was a fantastic series as well, the first few issues anyway, very, very fun read, here's another one from the same period, cable number one, now these ones I don't know what they're going for on eBay, I just went through my collection and just started pulling stuff out, right, that I saw multiple copies of or second copy of or I figured I knew I already had copies of, so some of these might not be sought after, but it's a good idea just to list them just because, here's a more recent book, came out from Image Comics, Huck number one, Mark Miller, and from what I understand, this has been auctioned for a TV show or a movie or something like this, so Huck number one, and here's a variant cover, and I grabbed a couple of extra copies of these, so I don't mind letting these ones go, okay these ones, let me show you this, Amazing Spider-Man, let me put this in order, where's the other guy, some of these things, I haven't ordered them yet, the like certain issues that follow this in the set will come up later, okay, so my apologies if I haven't had time to put them together yet, okay, Amazing Spider-Man 346 with Venom, nice book, I'm assuming this, at the time I was selling this thing for eight bucks, you can see there, right, I don't know what it's going for now, and it was selling for that much, okay, let me show you these ones, here is Amazing Spider-Man 360, this is the first, I don't know if it's the first cameo appearance of Carnage, Cletus, this one, I don't know if it's, what is it, 359 or 360 is the first cameo appearance, we've done a reading of this, we've gone through this book, and you can guess what the next book is coming up, Amazing Spider-Man 361, which is the first full appearance of Carnage, and we've done a reading of this fantastic book, when this came out, when I read this issue, I fell in love with it, the character Carnage, and what I ended up doing in the first few days of this book being out, I grabbed some extra copies of this, and I went back and I bought all the previous appearances of Cletus, Cassidy, right, basically Carnage, and it was back then it was hard to track down in which issues he was appearing in, because there wasn't the internet, right, you have to ask around and read and follow the little astresses that they put in comic books telling you which issue links to which issue, right, so we're definitely going to be selling this, and here's 362, and as you can tell on the price tag, at the time I was selling this for ten dollars, right, and this is mint condition, they're unread, I think one, I'm pretty sure this isn't the one that we read during the, what do you call it, the reading that we did, right, so at the time I was selling this for ten dollars, right now this book in mint condition is going, and that's ten dollars Canadian by the way, right now this book is going for, I don't know, at least fifty, sixty dollars US online, the set would go probably for over a hundred, and this is 362, the second full appearance of Carnage, okay, and I have 363 here somewhere, at least the set, here's Ghost Rider number five, second print with Punisher, this was really popular when it first came out, it was a good read, I liked it, I wasn't able to find my Lobo Laszarnian number three and four, so I grabbed Lobo Laszarnian number two, number one, fantastic read, right, and number two, I'll put up number one, but maybe I'll put up number two as well, I don't think these are fetching a high price, as far as I'm concerned, they're one of the best mini series, it's phenomenal that it came out, I pulled this out because some of these I'm going to check the prices later to see if they're fetching a higher price or you know they're going for Trump change, if they're going for Trump change I won't sell them, spider going number one, more recent of course, silk number one, again more recent comic, hold this, I don't know what this is going for, Avengers 360 is the gold foil gimmicky thing, I'll see what this is going for, if I end up listing it or not, here's a reader's copy of Omega Man number three, just a reader's copy, okay, it's the first appearance, it's a cameo appearance, but it's the one that fetches the highest price, and number five is the first full appearance, I believe, or number nine or title is the first full appearance, but this is a reader's copy, it's it's muffed up and stuff like this, so I figured I'd list this just in case someone wants a reader's copy, that's what they can afford, okay let me show you these, here's another Infinity Gauntlet, number one, which I'll be listing, now take a look at these, these are Superman number 50, it was sort of an anniversary issue, right, now don't ask me why, but I got four copies here, right, now three of these have the barcode, it's the new stand version, and one of them is just a direct market version, you can tell by the box here, now from what I understand the new stand version is more rare, I don't think these are fetching a high price, they're going for fair value, like not very much, however from what I understand the barcode one with the second printing fetches a premium price, like it's over a hundred dollars, sometimes 200 I checked, right, or I've checked, so I don't know if, I don't think any of these that I have, oops where is it, these three that I have with the barcode, I don't think they're second printings, okay, however on the barcode usually, if you look at this thing, there's a two, if you look at barcodes for comic books, there's a two there, and two usually indicates a second printing, so if this is going to be a second printing, I'm going to be listing these, I don't know if they are or not, okay, I was pulling stuff out, I wasn't going to dig into things too much, so I should put the, that's okay, here's another ghost rider, oh no this is ghost rider number 15, second printing, and again this is a gimmick cover one which glows in the dark, okay, here's Thor number 433, okay, it's the first appearance of Eric McMaster's I believe, of that Thor, and again I haven't checked the prices, here's Infinity Gauntlet I got, I guess I should put these all together, right, since we're here, here let me organize these guys, put these guys back here, let's go back, what's this one, so I'm just grabbing what I'm doing, I'm grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet Silver Surfer because what I did was I pulled out three Infinity Gauntlet number ones, okay, so definitely I'll make one set or maybe two sets and I got three Silver Surfer number 5s, here's a first printing of Ghost Rider number 15, I might list them together, the second and first printing together, right, Spider-Man, there's Boo Spider-Man, Todd McFarland Spider-Man, number one Silver Cover, and most likely I'll list one of these solo by itself, but I'm going to list one with, I'll show you what I have, I got spawn number eight as well, here's another copy, so we've got two copies of the raw Silver Surfer, I mean Silver Surfer, Silver Cover of Spider-Man, Todd McFarland Spider-Man, here is Spider-Man number one bagged, and here is Spider-number one number one Silver bagged as well, two dollars collected and when this came out you couldn't get this for two dollars, it was fetching anywhere between five to ten dollars, I don't think it's going for that much now, I don't know if it is or not, let me pull some out from here, oh here's a couple of the things, now I hopped on this pretty right away when it first came out, monstrous, I might sell it depending on what the price is going for, I'm not sure if I'm going to be selling this, I do have extra copies and monstrous number two, if it's going for a good price because we're trying to raise funds I might sell it, here's another Silver Surfer, oh here's the rest of this, here we go, let me show you this, here's Wolverine number 41, again this is probably going for like a dollar or something, but we'll see, here's another Silver Surfer number 50, for me if I like a certain issue I buy multiple copies, if I really love it I buy multiple copies, it doesn't fan out all the time, I got multiple copies of certain things that are like, they're fluff right, here's the full set, check this out, Carnage, from his first cameo appearances to the third four appearances, I'm going to see how much a set is selling for and how much individuals are selling for, because what you need to do or what I like doing if I'm selling something is, I want a price check, because I'm selling things, I'm listing things and I want the maximum price for things, so let me flip through to show you the covers for these, Amazing Spider-Man 344, first cameo appearance of Cassidy, amazing Spider-Man 345, Amazing Spider-Man 346, Amazing Spider-Man 347, and this one doesn't have Cletus in it, Cassidy in it, I don't believe so, Amazing Spider-Man 359, up to a year ago I was able to buy these for a dollar, I think we did one comic book haul where we, you saw one of these things in mint condition that I bought for a dollar, right, and now they're going for much more, much more, 361, beautiful cover by the way, this one, people, when this first came out for some reason, those in the comic book community, the comic shop owner and stuff, they didn't pay too much heed, right, and then here's 363 where Spider-Man and Venom get together and try to defeat Carnage, because Carnage is more powerful than Spider-Man and Venom, this is part of the set for the Doomsday and it's not here, so it's a cameo appearance of Doomsday and we've looked at these comics where basically it's Doomsday fist punching through his container, you know, his ship, I guess, that it was contained in on the last page which kicks into Doomsday, the first full appearance of Doomsday, Injustice League and Superman number 18, I believe, or which one was it, number 18? I can't remember, I pulled these out, again they're part of the Nightfall story arc for Batman, so Batman number 495, Batman number 494 and Batman number, sorry Detective Comics 661 and this leads up to Bane breaking Batman's back, okay, and I have the full set somewhere in these boxes that I'll probably list together in one shot, here's another Rai number 0 that I'll sell solo or list solo, maybe you'll sell it, depending how much it's going for, important book as far as I'm concerned, so if it's not going for the right price maybe we'll list it until later, here's Harbinger number 10, first appearance of hard corpse, and this is common, okay, two copies, we'll see where it takes us, here's another Nightfall story arc, Batman, Detective Comics 662, organizing these things, where are we going to be using these things, these ones, this is Robin 2, The Joker's Wild, five variant set, I might just list this just to see what it'll fetch, I don't think it fetches very much, okay, maybe, maybe we'll list it, if it's not worth it, if the shipping ends up being more than what these books go for then we won't bother listing it, this cover I really like, mine is the hologram, right, and this one didn't have the hologram, it was like a regular edition, and then at the same time when they were releasing these, let me check this out, they released pre-packed stuff for Robin, so here is in bags, Robin number one, all five books, okay, collector set, anybody selling anything to you, saying collector set, the odds are it's not a collector set, here's a collector set, Robin number two, right, I might put these all together and sell them in one shot, and Robin number three, and it was a good read, it is a good read, but it was way way over hyped, here's another Infinity Gauntlet number one, I grabbed a few of these when I first came out, just because I thought it was extremely important, who knew that we were going to make a whole Marvel universe centered around the Infinity Gauntlet, right, we could hope, back in the 90s, we could hope, here's Ghost Rider number five, again, and Ghost Rider number six, this is basically, and I have two of the Ghost Rider number six, so I grabbed two Ghost Rider number fives, two Ghost Rider number six, maybe list these as a set, it's part one and part two, Punisher and Ghost Rider together, here's the second appearance of Deadpool in X-Force number two, I might list this with Deadpool or New Mutants 98, I'm not absolutely sure, I don't know what this is going for, you could have bought it for nothing a few years ago, here's New Warriors number one, second print, I don't know what this goes for, I don't think very much, here's these guys, here's Wolverine number 41, number 42, I think this is a three-story arc, I couldn't find the rest, is it a three-parter, it was a good a story arc with saber tooth, here's 42, it's cable, Wolverine and saber tooth, and again I don't think this fetch was very high, but I'll check it, because I do want to, I don't want to just list hot books, I want to list books that are, don't bother with those ones, here's the Superman stuff, Superman, Superman, Superman, here's, I don't want to call these fluff, but they're not going to fetch a huge price, and I want to, I want to go through the other books as well, just to show you what else that might be up there, here's, what number is this, Fantastic Four 371, first and second print, all white and all red covers, okay, Fantastic Four 371, nice, here's another Eternal Warrior number four, and number five, oh, these ones, oh yeah, I'll show you those, I think those lead into one of these books here, I can't remember which one, this is Dracula, the art is by Mike, Mike Glolian, what do you call it, Hellboy, right, so this is Dracula set number one to four from tops, I packaged it up, at the time I was selling it for 30, I don't think that's just 30, not even close, I think it goes, I don't think it's very expensive, it's pretty cheap, so I might crack this open, depending on the price, Mike Mignola, Roy Thomas is the writer, Mike Mignola is the artist, and John Nyberg, I guess doing the inking or the interior arts and whatnot, it was a nice read, it was fun, and let me show you these, Hulk, incredible Hulk, number 374, I think I grabbed 375 somewhere, here's 376, Grey Hulk versus the Green Hulk, you might know where this is leading to, here is, that was 376, here's 377, this cover I loved, I grabbed a few copies of this, so it's an important book, it's the first appearance of Professor Hulk I believe, and just Hulk more of a different version of Hulk, and then here's 378, this is like a Santa Claus edition, this is like dollar bins at most, and this one is one of my favorite Hulk covers of all time, 379, and it doesn't fetch a huge price if it sells, but I think it's a beautiful cover, I really like this cover, it blew me away, and this is Dave McCann, there's two copies of these, okay, we'll see what it goes for, so that's the, this thing buffered again, here, I'd like to switch my camera buffered again, the little thing that you heard, so I'm going to have to press play again, record again, okay, and I'm going to do the little intro to it like this, so I can cut it back in again, right, I'm not sure how much of it we lost, or any of it, well we would have lost a little bit, and we got a couple copies of this, so let's put these back, put this box away, this is our little sunroom here, right, and I've closed the windows so the sound doesn't penetrate from the outside, and it was supposed to be cloudy today, but it's getting a little hot, the sun is shining through, we'll bring in, put in the other boxes, have a sip, this is pomegranate liqueur that we made with club soda, soda basically, soda water and some ice, a little bit of pomegranate seeds there that you can drink and, or chew on, okay let's put this guy down, next book, okay I'm going to put these guys let's take this, be careful with the Deadpool, careful with the Deadpool, let's see what we got, when we open up the window right there, the wind blows and it gives a little wind chimes, a little sound, okay let's pull these guys out, let's see, this is a set, okay let me show you these guys as well, I loved this cover, 379, I don't know why it grabbed so many of them, but here is four copies of Incredible Hulk 379, okay, I don't think this fetches the high price, so we haven't made any funds off this one, right, if we end up selling it, right, if it sells at all, I don't think so, I haven't checked the prices, so Incredible Hulk number 379, four copies, however we know that the price on these ones has gone up, Incredible Hulk or the new Incredible Hulk 375, 377, right, first Professor Hulk, so we'd be listing these, I'll try to put sets together and list it as singles as well, so if we're going to be selling over a few months I'm just going to list one at a time, really, right, here's Ghost Rider, one, two, three, four, five, first and second print, we don't have number six, we have number six, we must have number six somewhere, here's a Ghost Rider set from the second series I guess, number one, actually number six was in the other box I believe, number one to number 10, okay, I'll check to see how much sets are going forward because sets do sell on eBay and this was a fun series, really, I really like this series, number one, we've already looked at, number two, number three, number four, number five, first print, number five, second print, the gold and this is, yeah, I don't know, here's the thing with comic books, when you're buying, back in the day when you bought your comic books you actually didn't want the barcode here, right, for me I like getting barcode as well but these meant they weren't direct edition, there was a new standard edition, right, so this is Ghost Rider number five, the new standard edition and then the direct edition would have like either a Ghost Rider little thing in there in the box or Spider-Man or something, right, the second print one doesn't have anything on it, I'm not sure why and it looks because a Jim Lee cover by the way, here's Ghost Rider number seven, Ghost Rider number eight, Ghost Rider number nine and Ghost Rider number ten, we'll see what we end up doing with this, here is Iron Man number 281 and Iron Man number 282, first appearance of War Machine, Incredible Hulk number 393, here is the Superior Spider-Man, darkest hour number 23, this came out and when did this come out, I don't know in the 2010s or so and for me it's, you know, it gives me an opportunity, I pull these out, if I saw another copy the reason I probably pulled this out is because I probably had an extra copy and I'll take a look online to see if it's going for any type of legit price or not, right, here's Heart of the Queen number zero from Nu 52 and Heart of the Queen number one, I think these are going for not huge above value but we'll see, this is funny, I pulled this out, Swab Lobo, Nu 52 Lobo number one, nobody liked this, I didn't mind it, right, but it wasn't the main man, there's a Swab Lobo, here is Thor number one, female Thor and here's Captain America number 25, who is the new Captain America and this one is, I think it's going for like around 20 or something like this, this as far as I'm concerned is an extremely undervalued book, Justice League 69, this is basically the first full appearance of Doomsday and the cameo sells for way more than this and this doesn't really sell that much, for that much, last time I checked it which was a while ago I guess and we looked at this during the Doomsday comic book reading, right, these are funeral for friend I grabbed just the death of Superman because I've grabbed the death of Superman, I'll try to put a set together, hopefully there's no gaps from what I grabbed because everything's just random in my boxes, I was trying to make a mental note and grabbing some of them so hopefully it'll be there, here's a couple more, funeral for a friend, funeral for a friend, here's the death of Superman, Doomsday, okay yeah let's go through this, so these guys seem to be legit, death of Superman, Superman Man of Steel number 18, oh yeah that one, okay cool, let me show you this, so all of these are related to Superman or death of Superman or funeral for a friend, right, so I grabbed a couple of copies of this, when this came out people were just seriously, Superman was a big deal, the death of Superman was a big deal, 76, I don't think they're fetching anything, but for a set, why not, death of Superman bagged, Doomsday, I mean Doomsday, Justice League 69 again, Doomsday, Superman number 74, I'll definitely put together a set for the cameos, here's Action Comics 663, we saw one already, so here's a couple more copies with Doomsday punching through the, in the last couple, last page, here's Superman, the Adventures of Superman 497, he's fighting, that's already Doomsday in the fight, this is again cameo, Adventures of Superman 496, with the back page with Doomsday punching through, the panels, Superman number 73, again with the Doomsday punching through, Superman 74, this is already in the Doomsday story arc, Superman Man of Steel number 18, this one is the one that people consider to be the first full appearance of Superman, Bahar and Doomsday, and then this one fetches the most highest price I believe, Superman Man of Steel number 17, it's the first time where we see at the back page with Doomsday punching through his container, put these guys like this, I also, here's this guy, and I try to put together a set of these, I don't know if I was able to, this is Ghost Rider Midnight Sons, they're poly, was this poly bag? Yeah, this is poly bag, and there's a bunch of these they put out as a set, and it was a crossover, so I grabbed this and I grabbed some other ones, I don't know if I can put a full set together if I can, I'll list it, okay, see what happens, I also grabbed some stuff, books that I thought that I love myself, that I either consider to be important or great reason or whatnot, this is Eternal Warrior number 6 and number 7, and I love these covers, okay, Eternal Warrior and Master Dark, right, this is Master Dark, this is Eternal Warrior, and this is Barry Windsor Smith covers, I just, I find these covers to be brilliant, beautiful, you know, I'll show them to you one at a time, Master Dark is one of the greatest villains in comic book history, very, very underrated, phenomenal, and Eternal Warrior is Eternal Warrior, fantastic, and again, I don't think these ones are going for ridiculous amounts or anything at all after selling, but I thought why not, this one was a set, again, cameo appearance of Doomsday punching through the wall, there's Container, right, and here's another Doomsday adventure with Doomsday, superman fighting Doomsday, I wasn't sure what I was pulling when I was going through them, so just in case I didn't have, I'm gonna put a set together, here's the spirit of vengeance, Rise of the Midnight Suns, that's what these guys were about, so here's another one, part two of six, so there's six of these, so here's the one we looked at, part one, part two, hopefully I got part three, four, five, six, I'm not sure if I do or not, X-Men number four, first appearance of Omega Red, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 26 from McFarlane with the holograph cover, some people will consider some of these to be fluff, some things that have been fluff in comic books in the past end up being extremely expensive in the future, right, Spider-Man number 17 with the Infinity Gauntlet and the Thanos, nine, seven, five, six, five, four, three, here we go, two, nice, we got, and three, let me put three in here too, okay this is McFarlane's Spider-Man, the first 10 issues, okay, so here's Spider-Man number 10, a lot of these were ordered so they don't fetch very high price if they sell it all again, Spider-Man number eight, oh where's number nine, oh here's number nine, cool, number nine is with Wolverine, number eight, number seven, number six, this was pretty cool with Spider-Man and Hulk Goblin with McFarlane drawing it, number five, number four, number three, number two, and number one, there's a lot of these around, we'll see what they go for, spawn, are we talking McFarlane, let's do spawn, okay where's spawn, two, three, nice, spawn, spawn, spawn, okay here's spawn number eight, a couple copies of spawn number eight, okay, one of these are most likely going to list with one of the Spider-Man number ones, okay because it's the same pose, right, so if we hold it out you see, beside each other and then there's another Spider-Man in the teens that he did the same pose for I think, there's in the 20s, someone's into McFarlane's Spider-Man, they might want to grab these, right, spawn number eight again and the rest of this is spawn number eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, so it's a full set of spawn from number one to eight, so I might list this as one set, we'll see what it's going for, number seven, number six, number five, number four, number three, number two, and spawn number one, and spawn number one was going fairly cheap a few years ago where I checked, I don't know what it's going for now, here's Thor 432 and 433, I might list these together because I think the same story arc introduction of the new Thor, cool, cool, okay so here's more Superman funeral for a friend or Superman, death of Superman thing, so here's funeral for a friend, so here's a bunch more and here this one, this one's cool, this is Superman number 73 with the cameo appearance of doomsday, but it's a second print, you can see the two right there, whoops see the two right there, so it's a second print, I'm not sure what the second print's going for, I'm pretty sure would have had a way less print run probably, here's funeral for a friend, part seven, part three, random, I'll try to put a set together, here's Superman number 18, first full appearance of doomsday, I listed this set, I was selling it for eight dollars back in the day, here's number six, well it's not number six, number 19, here's number 18 again, so there's two copies of number 18, that's good, so we've got three copies of this, I know this goes for a higher price, so that's good to have that, here's Superman number 17, Man of Steel number 17, this one I think fetches the highest price, if I was so inclined I would send these in to be graded, slap, because I know they sell for higher when they're slapped, but it's just, it costs too much and it's very, I'm just not into slapping that much, it takes time to get the books back, right, I might do it all, look at the price differences, that's one thing I'm going to do when I start listing these things on eBay, the first books to go up are going to be the Mermaid comics, why I publish, because those, I know what they should go for or what they can't go for, if they sell at all, the Gogo Boys will sell, they should, but the rest of them will have to check to price, to price them to see what they're going for, if they're hot, if they're not, if they're not, I won't list them, right, amazing Spider-Man 355, or if they're not selling, amazing Spider-Man 356, and I believe there's a 357 or a 354, I think this was a three-parter with Punisher and what do you call it, night moon night and thrasher, night thrasher, Venom, lethal protector number one, I know the gold goes for a ridiculous amount of money, this isn't the gold, now here's another part four of the Rise of the Midnight Suns, I'll put it with these guys, so we've got three of the six parts, I grabbed, I tried to put together an executioner song, this is part 11, I don't know if I was able to, this is X-Men number 16, okay, but I don't know if it's, I was able to do it or not, this thing, check this out, now Shadowhawk number one, right, this was one of the first books that Image put out, when it first came out it sold out, I grabbed a few copies and I was going to conventions and I sold them, so these ones I was selling for $15, right, and I had a whole bunch and I sold a whole bunch, and the price of this is nothing now basically, right, so be careful with what's hot, does a huge spike up, sometimes they continue stabilize and then continue later on, sometimes they drop fast, right, it's just like anything in regards to the market, here's Shadowhawk number two and Shadowhawk, Shadowhawk number three and this is a glow in the dark, so I might put these up as a set to see if they sell or not, and one of the reasons I'm going to do this slowly is this, when you start listing on eBay, there's a listing fee or there used to be, last time I sold something was a few years ago, there used to be a listing fee, this is, this goes with the first appearance of War Machine, so Iron Man 284 where Tony Stark steps out and the other person becomes Iron Man, but what happens when you start listing stuff on eBay, when you list a couple things and then you don't list very much, eBay sends you a sentence saying that, oh you can list the next few comics, you know, you can list 100 comics or not 100 comics, you can do next 25 listings for free and then you end up doing that, so that's why what I'm going to do, that way, you know, it's not costing me extra to list these comics, hopefully eBay's still doing that, here's Lobo number one, again Laz-Azarnian, beautiful, beautiful book, Excalibur number one, this is a fantastic series with Chris Claremont, Madman Adventures number one, look at this from Tundra, Jeff Smith, no not Jeff Smith, God I forgot his name, oh we look at it later, I can't remember his name now, name slips my mind and then I got a couple sets of Batman Legends of the Dark Knight, just the different variant covers, four sets, I was selling the four sets together for ten dollars, I don't even think they're going for that right now but I'll see and possibly list them just to have listing of books where, you know, if anybody wants to fill runs and whatnot for combined shipping also people might grab some extra copies of things or things that they were meaning to check out that they haven't checked out yet, so let's put these back, let's put these back this way, let's put these guys right side up and every time I do one of these flips everything's getting out of order, maybe I'm right, the ones I have more copies of most likely a less list sooner rather than later, now take a look at this, one thing I did when I was selling things at conventions and stuff, I would put things in packs, unfortunately I didn't add a label on this and it took it off, it's like this is coke and dagger, first issue and it's got a whole bunch of comics in there, I don't know how deep this goes or what's in there, I have to crack this open to find out, so I grabbed this out of my collection just to see, this is Magnus Robot Fighter Valiant and that's in the front, so I'm assuming this is a Magnus run, hopefully this is a first issue of all the Valiants that came out run and it has a Harbinger number one in there, I don't think so, Harbinger number one I had a few way back in the day and I sold a whole bunch of them right, back in the day I was selling them for like a hundred bucks or something, now they're like a thousand dollars and honestly the comic books that I've sold in the past, there's only a handful of comic books where I say oh I sold them, that was good I sold them or whatnot, most of them I wish I didn't sell them because I could have got a much higher price now, right, here's a spawn set, so this might be spawn one eight again that I packaged up, so I'll have to check this, okay I'll have to crack it open and we can pick this up, we picked this up at a recent comic book haul, this is Dark Wolverine issue number 85 and it's the variant Iron Man edition, okay and it's like mint plus and I think we picked this up for a dollar and I think it's fetching higher, right, so most likely list this, okay check this one out, this is Baseball's Greatest, the Jimmy Purcell story from Dark Horse that came out in the 1990s, I don't think it's fetched as much but why not, Baseball Lovers, Infinity Prime Thanos cover, this is a variant edition, I think it's a 1 in 10, these ones, 1 in 10, okay and this is Infinity Prime 1 in 25, now I paid $25 for it Canadian, most likely I'm going to list this thing and see what it goes for, I want to check the prices to see what it's selling for right now, Hilber Brandt variant, just to collect some data to see if it sells to see how much it does sell for, right, here's Venom number 3, first full appearance of the king of the same symbiotes, Null, Knull or Null, right and here's Venom number 4, the Origin, so most likely I'll list the Venom number 3 one solo and another one with number 3 and number 4 together, here's Teen Titans special number 1, first appearance of Lobo's daughter, just in a panel, cameo, crush, here's Deathstroke Determinator number 1 from the 90s, Moon Knight number 19 with Punisher and Spider-Man, I think this is a two story arc, hopefully I grabbed number 20, I think it's number 20, here's more fantastic for Jeeves, fantastic for 371, first print, second print and 350, right, we already see the solos and here's 350, I don't think these are going for anything too special, Conan number 241, McFarland cover, that's a nice cover, the most savage hero of all, Conan, the glare, the glare, apologies, apologies, world championship wrestling, WCW number 1, Silver Surfer number 1 from the 1980s, here's Wildcats number 1 and 2, Jim Lee's Wildcats number 1 and 2, these are common, a lot of these are common actually, here's number 2, number 2 is a cool cover, gimmicky, here's Lobo, Lazarion, number 1 again, I had extra copies of this, fantastic look, this is actually the bar code one, I don't know if the bar code one goes for more or not, okay here's these guys, here's some Spider-Man, here's Web of Spider-Man 95, it's, I don't think I was able to put the whole maximum carnage together but, or the spirits of Venom, the spirits of Venom part one, Web of Spider-Man 95, again I don't think it fetches any serious price, here's maximum carnage part two, Web of Spider-Man 101, I wasn't able to put a maximum carnage set together, I was trying to but they're all mixed all over the place, here's Web of Spider-Man number 100, Web of Spider-Man number 90, the Holograph version again, and Spectacular Spider-Man 189, their anniversary, I got the, they put out four books the anniversary edition with the holograph here, and I think I grabbed one of each one, so I should be able to put a set together, I guess I had a few of these, four, 433, here's Nightfall again, let's see what we got, Nightfall, Nightfall, here's a one night summer one, here's a prequel to Nightfall Batman 491, this was a really good story arc but actually, Batman 492, it was really well done, Batman 493, Batman 494, Detective 661, Batman 495, Detective 662, so we should be able to put a set of Nightfall story arcs together, I'm not sure if we will or not, here's Midnight Suns Morbius, I'm not sure if we had this or not, if I can put the set together, sweet, New Mutants number 100, first appearance of X-Force, this was the last issue from this series, and then the second printing of New Mutants number 87, the first printing, this is the first appearance of cable, the first printing goes for well into the hundreds, or a hundred plus most likely in mint condition, second printing, I don't know, might fetch a couple of dollars, New Warriors, New Warriors, I like this series, I figured I put a set together, hopefully we did, I don't know if we did or not, was I able to pull enough out, I don't know, I don't know, let's see, so here's New Warriors number nine, what was that, that was number nine, here's number eight, here's number seven, here's number six, here's number three, where's four and five, here we have four and five, oh I hope I grab four and five, otherwise we can't put a set together, here's number three, here's number two, and number one, here's Midnight Suns, Rise of the Midnight Suns, what part is this, this is part five, here's another story arc which was pretty good, but I don't know, I don't know if we're able to put a whole set together, Executioner's Song, we had the other ones here somewhere, here's X-Force, here's part eight, X-Force number 17, which is one thing with the X-Factor number 84, which is one thing that people love the X-Books, X-Men and whatnot, there's number 84 again, number 85, that we're really disappointed about, they've made X-Men movies, right, and three times they're making the Dark Phoenix saga story arc, which is what a waste, they could be telling so many X-Men stories that have been told in the comic books, and they're just focusing on the Dark Phoenix, and the Dark Phoenix don't get me wrong, it's phenomenal, fantastic story arc, but here's Detective 660, but why make three movies of the same story arc, where when you could have told multiple stories of some of the other amazing stories that they put out, here's Justice League 71, here's 70, the second print, you can see the two there again, right, and here's Justice League number 70, the first print, funeral for a friend, and this was very emotional, really, the doomsday story arc and the funeral for a friend were fantastic, if you've never read it, get the collected editions or buy the singles, and they're really cheap online, buy the singles and read them, it was very good, here's Wolverine's number 13, a variant cover, I don't know if this is a variant cover or what not, it's this guy here, it's Deadpool, coming back like Wolverines and stuff, I don't know where this fits in the whole scheme of things, I grabbed it just to see, I think I only have one copy of this, just to check the price to see what is going for, if it's going for reasonable amount, I will definitely let it go, here's another copy of Huck number one, the story wasn't bad, here's Pearl, this is recent, Vendes, Pearl number one, main cover, and here's the white, you know, blank cover, and it's Pearl in the background, so I might sell these, I'm not sure, I think these are only two copies I have, depending on the price, I know the word came out that you know, it's in development for a movie and stuff like this, so the price might have done a serious pick up, if it has, then I'll let it go, Spider Get In, Edge of Spider Get In number two, and these are some recent ones, Predator versus Magnus Robot Fight Tour, number one and number two, this was fun, these are common, there should be a lot of these around, but as a set, number one and number two, if someone wants to read a good story with Magnus Robot Fighter and Predator, it was great, fantastic read, and Barry Windsor Smith covers, right, I think what a beautiful cover, fantastic cover, Catwoman, number 24, first full appearance of Joker's Daughter, I think this just goes for a dollar, if it even sells for a dollar, which is weird, because the comic book community, when it came out, people were making fun of it, they didn't, they were like, all Jokers are, it didn't sell for, you know, the price didn't jump at all, or it's jumped maybe a little bit, I think, it's the first full appearance, it's the second appearance, first full appearance, but it's an important book, Indie comic book, Vampire Rock from Undead Graphics, Monazzo put an Indie book in there, Indie books, they're scarce, right, they're hard to find, but add a couple copies of this, Monazzo put one in there, Immortal Hulk, number 15, we'll see what the price on this is, if you watch some of my comic book videos, you know I grabbed like five copies of this, so I'll put one up, if it's going at a reasonable price, I think that's a phenomenal Hulk cover, that is a beautiful Hulk cover, really, let me see if I can get rid of the glare, beautiful, there's more funeral for friend, funeral for friend, funeral for friend, Tuesday, Tuesday, Superman, Tuesday, I'm going to show you these guys, so again funeral for friend, I just grabbed whatever I could just to see if I can make a set, and I got caught up in the Superman stuff when it was happening, I bought extra copies of things which I shouldn't have, like really, just because there was so much hype, it was like a drug, everybody was going Superman, chaos, frenzy, but these ones I'm glad I grabbed, Superman, Man of Steel number 18 again, Superman, Man of Steel number 17, nobody was grabbing these when they came out, they grabbed Superman, Man of Steel number 18, and then they didn't, people weren't looking back to see when was the first appearance, when was a cameo appearance, and Justice League number 69, I'll have at least one set of these, pretty sure we have a set now, Omega Man, Omega Man, Omega Man, Omega Man, and Simpsons, here I'll show you the Simpsons first, Special Collector's Edition, Simpsons, comics and stories, Simpsons number one, it's common, here's Omega Man number 20, Lobo appearance, Omega Man number 19, Lobo appearance, Omega Man number 10, Lobo cover, and appearance, Omega Man number 9, Lobo appearance, and Omega Man number 5, Lobo appearance, and I have a good copy, not a good copy, like grading wise, a near mint copy, or near mint minus, that's probably near mint, of Omega Man number 3, which we haven't seen in this box, so it must be in the other box, we found one Omega Man number 3 readers copy, but the mint copy must be in the other box, that I'll put with this set maybe or sell individually, I'm not so sure, or list individually anyway, we'll see if it sells, I might put these up on as just dollar auctions, or I might list them, because I haven't been selling comics online, so I don't have anyone following me that is getting their comic books from me, so the odds are I probably won't list them as $1.99 auctions at first, because I buy comic books online, I know what certain price certain comics can go for, which you can get an amazing deal on, right, which I have, if you've seen some of the comic book hauls, we've got some amazing deals on certain books, but I'm not a huge seller, and I'm not new, so we can wait until we get the right price, or what we want, right, let's put these guys out first, here's spawn number one again, here's spider man number 35 maximum carnage part four, here's spider man number 26, spider man 17 Thanos and infinity gauntlet, spider man number seven, McFarland, spider man number, this is where I put them, cool, here's spider man number one, the collected, the polybag one, and then spider man number one silver, and here's spawn number eight again, this was a great series, the specter john austrander, okay, this is specter number one, I just glow in the dark cover, again it's common, so I can't see it fetching a crazy price if it sells at all, but slowly what I want to do is when you're selling items it's good to have options for people, just to get traffic if people want, here's executioner songs, 84, 85, 86, so x factor number, it's 84 again, I don't think we were able to fill an executioner song, number 84 we saw that already, 85 and 86, I don't think we're able to grab a complete set, who knows, xo man award number seven and number eight, these are common, I'm not sure why I grabbed these actually, number eight, we will be doing a reading of xo man award number one, sand man number eight, the first appearance of death, I might list this, I might not depending, okay, and it should be near mid condition, really good copy, for what understand, Neil Gaiman's in talks to produce a sand man tv series, if that comes out, wow, that would be amazing, that would be amazing, publisher of warzone number one, spider man number 17 again, we have like three or four of these, what's going on, Thanos and Vinny Gaiman, we see, we see what comes of it, oh here it is, cool, here's omega man number one, not number one omega man number three, right, first appearance of lobo and cover two right, and I paid at the time, I paid five dollars for this, first appearance lobo, that's a really good copy, an amazing character and lobo, omega man and lobo, was a little different than the main man and the last is Arnian, he was more, his rise of the midnight sun's dark hold number one, I don't think we're able to put a set like this together, I just grabbed whatever of the rise of the midnight sun's just to see if I could do it, here is, we'll put this one here, dark hawk number one, now this isn't the first appearance, a lot of people think this is the first appearance of dark hawk, it's not, marvel age, I forget what number it is, marvel age is the first appearance of dark hawk, it could have been a cameo appearance, but a lot of people consider this to be, or think this is the first appearance, there's two copies of it I've got, we'll see if it goes for anything, Batman 465, I think this is the first time, I think this is Alan Grant and first time, what's his name in a robin costume, I forget all the names, two copies of it, Deathstroke Determinator number one, we'll see, this is one of my favorite covers of all time, I thought I'd grab it, Demon number 12, what a brilliant cover, really, absolutely brilliant, busy, Simon busy, what else we got, I got another set of Magnus Predator versus Magnus Robot Fire, here's Justice League of America, oh another black one, oh another, oh another one, oh another one, oh that's cool, we've got a full set here, nice, here's another full set of the first appearance of Doomsday, Superman, Man of Steel number 17, okay, Superman number 73, Adventures of Superman number 496, Action Comics 683, Superman, Man of Steel number 18, and Superman 75, the black background, and of course when we're doing that, this should be always in any Doomsday set, which is again Justice League 16.9, okay, this was a really good read and this is the first time Doomsday was called Doomsday, Booster Gold, where is he, Booster Gold is the person that gave Doomsday his name, okay, towards the end he goes, oh this person is like crazy, he's killing everything, it's like Doomsday, right, something along those lines, here's 379 again, I really like this cover, I think I grabbed too many of them, Barry Windsor Smith, Weapon X, Marvel Comics Presents, I should have a full set here, here's Barry Windsor Smith, Wolverines, Weapon X, right, the origin of Weapon X, this is Marvel Comics Presents number 72, there's a couple of, actually I got three copies of that, three copies of that, I don't know what it goes for, I'll have to check, okay, and then the story continued to 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, I believe it was the end 78, and all the covers were Barry Windsor Smith and they're beautiful, I'll show them to you, okay, so this was 72, beautiful cover, here's 73, here's 74, so much glare, so much glare, here's 75, that's a beautiful cover, 76, again a beautiful cover, 76, 77, and 78, this should be the last one in the source story work, I hope so if not then I didn't grab a full set and we don't have one, or we can't list one, I do have it, but we can't list it, cool, we'll have to have those out, at least those ones were in order, this is, we've done a little bit of reading of this, but Magnus Royward Fighter number 13 and number 14, this was a great story, beautiful artwork, very unique artwork, that's number 13 and here's number 14, I'll definitely list these two as one story arc, they're fairly common I guess, they don't fetch a high price, but the great read, here's another story that I really liked, okay, Willis Portaccio X Factor number 63, it's featuring Iceman and this was beautiful, I really like this, X Factor 63 and X Factor 64, it was sort of a two-parter about Iceman being interested in this girl and then losing out to this guy here, I forget who that is, but it was good and Willis Portaccio, he dropped off people's radar a lot, I think there was certain issues with family health issues with family and stuff, I don't know the logistics of it, which is really unfortunate because Willis Portaccio was an amazing, really nice guy and he did beautiful work, I really liked his work, his work was phenomenal, really, I really liked his presence in the comic book industry, X Factor 24, the first appearance of Archangel, X Factor number 6 and number 5, first full appearance of Apocalypse, okay, and I picked this up for a dollar, right, in the bins at the time, I don't know what it fetches now, and X Factor number 5, which is the first cameo word sort of shadow appearance of Apocalypse, and we've done a reading of these books, I believe, if I remember correctly, we've done a reading of the first appearance of Apocalypse and it's a good story arc, I forget who the writer was for this, back in the day they didn't used to put the artist and the creators and the writers names on the covers, right, Archon Armstrong, number 0, first appearance of Archon Armstrong, very, very underpriced book in my opinion, okay, Archon Armstrong are two of the greatest characters in comic book history, and you can pick this up on the cheap, I believe so anyway, and Archon Armstrong number 1, right, so I might list these together, we'll see, we'll see what is going for, here's another two issue arc from Valiant that I really liked, and it was the artwork was Bart Sears, and it was Exo Manowar number 14 and number 15, it's just a two issue story, and Bart Sears artwork, and it was fun, it was basically Exo Manowar and getting together with Tura going out on a dinosaur hunt, fun read, and you can get this up on the cheap, and again from Valiant Comics, Shadow Man number 7 and number 8, and this Shadow Man number 7, Shadow Man number 8 is the first full appearance of Master Dark, this one, right, but in Shadow Man number 7, it's a cameo, but it's not, it's the shadow and it's the voice of Master Dark talking, so Shadow Man number 7 has Master Dark talking from a car, I believe, and then in number 8, it makes this first full appearance, okay, and I got a couple of sets of these, two of each that I might list, depending on what it's going for, and I grabbed this, I don't know why, I think I just wanted to show it to you guys, this is a great cover as well, I'd like this cover, Shadow Man number 12, and you can pick this up on the cheap if you want, right, it's Master Dark, I like Master Dark, cool character, hard corpse, so many hard corpse, hard corpse number 1, Jim Lee foldgate cover, this is common, you can pick it up on the cheap, cheap, cheap, I don't know if I'll even list it, it might not even be worth it, this one we've seen, here's Action Comics number 662, where two copies I got, where Superman reveals his identity to Lois Lane, Wolverine number 50, let's see what else we got here, Wolverine number 50 die card cover, that's that, oh look, oh nice, these guys, these guys are these extra copies, look at this, another Infinity Gauntlet, and here's Infinity War, I might list these ones together, Infinity War goes for cheap, I think, I don't know if I've checked it wrong, Infinity Gauntlet for sure, it's gonna cost something, okay, Vertigo, here's Vertigo, what's it called, Sampler, Extra Exclusive Sam, a story by a gamer about, so this is Vertigo number 1, it was a sampler that came out, I don't think it goes for very much, however, I grabbed one of the first issues of the Vertigo imprint from all the titles that had a Vertigo switched over to the Vertigo imprint, okay, so let me show you which ones these are, so Vertigo imprint started with the following, I believe Vertigo Sampler was this one, was the first one, possibly, okay, and then as far as the runs, the issues go, the series go, Helblaser number 63, one of the greatest series of all time, Helblaser, 300 issues of, I haven't read all of them, I read probably 150 plus, but 300 issues of pure bliss, horror, horror magic bliss, Enigma number 1, Death, the High Cost of Living number 1, nice story, it was a three issue arc, it's Death, Sandman number 47, Dave Mickey and Covers, Shade the Changing Man number 33, Animal Man number 57, Doom Patrol number 64, and Swamp Thing number 129, here we go, here's the, I was wondering what this guy was, here's amazing Spider-Man number 365, it's part of that anniversary edition with the other holograph ones, and I believe this is the first appearance of Spider-Man 2099, what else we got, oh yeah, Jim the X-Man, let me show you this, and then that's it, I'll show you these ones too, I'll show you these ones and then we'll deal with the X-Man, ah, look at this one, okay, here's Lobal Paramount here, special number one, I think you can get this on the Jeep, I just grabbed it, just in case I might list it, I might list it with the last Zardia number one and Lobal Paramount here, special number one, here's Cage number one, I think this is like cheap, cheap you can get it for, Cage number two, and Batman New 52 number 40, this is Snyder writing it, and this should be the first print, yeah it's the first print, cool cover, and then the last stuff I have here is some Jim Lee X-Man with the first appearance of Bishop, right, 274, oh we don't have 274, that's crazy, oh I didn't grab a full set then, that's unfortunate, okay I'll show you these guys anyway, I can the X-Man 273, Jim Lee cover, here's 275, Gatefold Jim Lee cover, 276, 277, this is when Jim Lee, this is Willis Partascio cover, Jim Lee I think took over the writing for this, here's 281, and these are common by the way, 281 second print, the difference of this one, and this one is the X-Man here, it's got white fill, and the second print has red fill, and then X-Man, I can't even expand, 282 is the first appearance of Bishop, I'll grab a couple copies, actually three copies, here's another two, I don't think this fetches, this is pretty common so I don't think it fetches too much, 283 with Bishop again, I'll put these together as a set, there's a couple copies 283, and then 284, 285, 286, 287, and 288, and those are the books I picked out from my collection, just to slowly over the next few months just a list on eBay, we have books that are here that value-wise, aside from the mermaid books I have from my comics that I published, I don't know what they'll go for, I know Gogo Boy is really important, first LGBT superhero comic book series, that's pretty important, I don't know what it's going to go for, it might not fetch anything, I know on eBay I've seen a couple listed for a fair bit, but as far as the other books go, we have books here that might not sell, they're common, 99 cents at best maybe, and we have some books that are into the 50, 40, 30, 60, and there might be a couple books here that are above 100, more than a couple books might be above 100, actually more than a couple books that might be above 100, so the price range for these books is going to be anywhere between zero, all the way to more than 100, and we'll see what we end up selling, the data we end up collecting, and slowly over the next while, a few years maybe, we'll start taking all this data in and incorporating it into ASMR mathematics, personal finance, investing, and take a look at how this plays out, and take a look at some of the metrics and stuff like this, and by that time maybe we'll list more books as well and see what additional data we can collect. Aside from that, I'll have information listed in the description of this video, if you're looking for either my eBay site, if you're looking for any of the videos that we talked about that we've already shot, or anything else really, aside from that, that's about it, I guess. The new mutants, number A98, I'm not going to list this right away, I'm going to list some of the other stuff first, just to get the flow, go through the process of selling stuff on eBay again, because I haven't done it for a few years, I just want to make sure what other stuff they've added on there, and I have to sort of figure out what the shipping is going to be all over the place, so we'll do a little sample of sell a few and then figure out what the shipping costs are, that way we can get the proper shipping cost in the description of the items on eBay, and I'll put disclaimers on there that I'm not a CGC person, my rating is my rating, and you know, feedbacks and all this jazz, just to cover our asses, because I know some sellers that have been burnt on eBay, and we don't want to get burnt, because we're not a huge seller, we can't afford to get burnt. Aside from that, I hope you enjoyed the video, and I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye for now. Fun. Hey guys, how are you doing? How long did this go for? What have you been doing here? What time is it? Nice. So I'm going to stop the video, and I'm going to get back to chat with you guys, okay? I'm pretty sure I saw some comments being going forward that I missed, I would, I'd read a couple of them at random. Let me stop this, stop this guy, and change the angle. I'm going to put these comics back, and I'm going to tangle myself. Do this, do this, go on this. Hold on, let me detangle myself first. Wow, we're in 18 minutes. Cool. Thanks, Nicholas. This guy, this guy, angle, tangle, tangle, tangle. Let's put this here. Okay, let's put this guy. Let me put these guys back too. Got to go, chicho. Good night from, from you. Sweet dreams, man. Thank you for sticking around this long. It was a long, it was a long video, I guess. A lot of, a lot of comic books coming through, right? I tell you the truth, I really didn't know what I had grabbed when all was said and done, because what do you call it? I was going through a few boxes, so it's hard to, hard to remember what you're pulling out when you're looking at hundreds of comic books, right? Bring the box forward, the computer, so I can read the chat. I'm not even sure how we're still here. Was there a fair bit of conversation? Oh, wow, somewhat, yes, somewhat sip of this thing. So that's what we got. That's what I decided to pull out of the boxes. Basically, almost everything here I have extra copies of. Okay, some that you saw that I have multiple copies that I picked out, I have additional copies of as well, especially the Infinity Gauntlet stuff and the First Appearance of Doomsday and whatnot. These are the ones that I came across that I picked out just to list, because that's one thing you can do, right? You can buy some people frown upon it, which is silly, because that's part of the whole industry. If you think something's going to go up in value in the future, there's no problems buying extra copies if you can get your hands on them, right? Like for me, on Wednesday, if I could have bought extra copies of the last issue of the Walking Dead, I would have bought extra copies of the last issue of the Walking Dead, but I couldn't, because there's only limited number there, right? Have you any idea how much you've invested today? Oh, man, I have no idea, no idea. We're into the tens of thousands, most likely. Thousands, like lots, lots. And keep in mind, I've sold in the past too, right? Like I've, back in the 90s, I went to a comic book convention in Toronto. It was, at the time, was the largest comic book convention in Toronto, and it was a weekend long convention, right? Saturday, Sunday. So I took my boxes of comics to the convention. I wasn't sure what was, you know, how I was going to do. The value of the books that I had bought, that I had paid, was probably around, it cost me the whole thing, including the books that I sold, probably cost me around three to four hundred dollars, right? So three to four hundred dollars of, including the booth and travel expense and the comic books themselves, the physical comic books themselves, cost me around three to four hundred dollars. I walked out of that weekend with four thousand dollars cash plus two long boxes of comics that I traded with other people. One box of those, or half a box of those, so about, let's say, well, not a half box, let's say about 50 of those comic books were EC comics from the Golden Age of comics, right? So with a four, three to four hundred dollar investment, I ended up making in one weekend or bringing in about five thousand dollars, right? So I put a lot into comic books, but I've also gone to conventions, sold, took the money and put it back into comic books, right? The one thing that cost me the most for comic books is when I started my own publishing company, that took my finances down the toilet, right? Cost me a lot of money. In my local place today, they were only selling one per person because they were so understocked. That's cool. That's glad if you got your hands on a copy, right? Most places, there's a lot of comic book stores out there which they won't even sell you a copy. It's super hot. They'll just say, oh, we didn't get enough or whatnot or we already sold out. So the next day, the second day, you were able to get your hands on a copy. That's a good comic store, Silva. Fantastic comic store. They're treating you guys well. My mom is an old book dealer. The oldest book I saw was printed in 1635. That's cool. That's cool, Booker. IB Booker, Cora. I wonder how much that was going for. I would love to get into book collecting as well, but I don't know what I just know comic book collecting. Is it new writers and artists you published? Yeah, they were all independent people. I basically took out an ad and a comic book price guide that's distributed around the world. And I said, and I was working as a geophysicist, so I had money, right? I was having money coming in, and I wanted to stay in the comic book industry. I wanted to be involved in the comic book industry. So I took a full page ad and a price guide and said, send me your comic books. If I like them, I'll publish them. And that's exactly what I did. I published five titles about 15 comic books total before I ran out of money. I almost called my parents, brothers and friends to get extras. Oh, yeah, man. Silva, why not? If they have extras, grab your friends, walk in with 20 people, buy everyone a beer, tell them this. You could tell them this, right? Everybody come down. I want you to buy a comic book for me. I'm going to give you the money. And then afterwards, you're going to give me those comic books, and we're going to go out to a pub and I'm going to buy you a beer each. So each comic book is going to cost you $10, right? I don't know where you are. Canada would cost you $10, right? The comic book plus a beer. So $10 Canadian. And right now the comic book is selling on eBay between $25 to $45. You've already doubled, tripled your money. Why wouldn't you do it? Right? If you have good family and friends that will do this for you that are willing to have a beer with you, right? How would you rate the success of your own comic company? Poor, very poor. However, however, however. See these four books here? The first LGBT superhero comic book series ever. Gogoboy number one, Gogoboy number two, Gogoboy number three, and Gogoboy number for Ashken, right? Diamond comics refuse to carry this. I contacted LGBT bookstores and had them ordered directly from me in their bookstores. This was so popular within the LGBT community. There was a club, LGBT club in Denver, that threw party for us to go down there and hosted us and had a costume party, cosplay party, right? But the comic book industry, diamond distributors didn't carry it, right? So financially, how successful was my comic book company? Not very. However, an important run. Very proud. As well as the other books that I published. There's only one book that I'm not. I just released it because we had a deadline to meet. Although it would look suspicious having seven to eight people all going one after another, getting the extra thing. Just stand outside and give them five bucks to go and grab it. Can you show us them? Yeah, I showed you Ron Berger. I showed you, I showed the books earlier, but I will. I just noticed the liquor bottle collection you've got stored up there. Actually, those aren't liquor bottles. Those are kombucha bottles. When I used to drink heavy-ish, I guess, in my youth, we did do this with liquor bottles, but all of those are actually kombucha bottles. In my old days, you stop drinking cigarettes or reduce it, right? Are you under Chichon Ibe? I am, Martin. Here, let me give you the link. I don't have anything listed. It might, it's going to take me a little bit of time to list stuff, man. But here, let me give you the link. There's my Ibe, my Ibe, my summer. Yeah, I don't have anything listed, so I don't even know how this is going to work if I link it to you. Oh yeah, here, I can link it this way. User Chichon. I've been on there Ibe since 2002. I got a hundred percent feedback rating five stars across the board, right? So it's important to me. How do you always end up in the same stream as me? Oh, is that the person? Dr. P, how are you doing? I was thinking the same stream stalker. I think he is. Success isn't always measured by profit. No, no, happiness and fulfillment is above currency in the pen. Yeah, and the experience I got from publishing comic books, uh, Kespa, priceless, priceless. It set me on the motion to be here right now doing this, right? It was extremely important. It cost me a lot of money. I was paying that back for many, many years, right? However, well worth it, well worth it. I would do it again if I was to do it again, right? How do you deal with the ever lingering fact of collecting too much buyers or more sort of eventually selling again? It's part of the game. I bought stuff where I'm like, oh man, I can't believe I bought these, right? And I've sold stuff where I'm like, oh man, I can't believe I sold those. And then when I look at it, it averages out when I look at the collection over the years. I go, wow, that's cool, man. I still have like three copies of Harbinger number one. Oh wow, man. I have Hulk 377 multiple copies that I can sell. Oh wow, man. I got infinitely gotten at number one. I don't know how many we pulled out here, like I don't know, five, six copies. And I still have more, right? So those are books that you can't win on every bet. You can't make the right decision on every buy and every sell. But as long as you're enjoying it, you're appreciating it. You do, man. If you drink, then it's more fun to do it heavy. Otherwise, one could stay just over. I be Booker at drinking in your youth, your body recoups faster. As you get older, reduce your drinking. It's going to hurt you. Has donated 10 pounds. Keep up the good work. Okay. Thank you very much for the donation, Catman. I appreciate it. Ski Bob, Bob's Catman. Ski Bob's Catman. Thank you for the support, brother or sister. But moderation is key. Yeah. Heavy isn't necessary. No, it's not. If it works for you, then I'm jealous. It'll work for you at some point as well. Just keep that in mind. Alcohol is a great destroyer. So you don't want to be destroying your whole life. I remember you used to have Spider-Man 7 a long time ago, but so yeah, Arkansas. Do you know how much I sold Spider-Man 7 for? I bought it for like $8, right? A couple of two, three, four years later, I sold it. Spider-Man number 7. I sold it for 45. Right now, it's probably worth like 600, the copy that I had, right? So yeah, I regret selling it. I regret selling the Harbinger number ones that I had back in the 90s. I sold them all for 100, right? And then the price peaked to 100 and then it dropped down to where you could pick it up for like $10, $8, right? I had like 15 copies of Harbinger number one. I love the series. All the valiants that I bought, like anywhere between five to 10, 15 copies of all pre-united valiants, right? And I sold a lot of them. At the time, I sold them for 100 and people were like, oh my God, you're rick people off. I go, no, man, this is an amazing book. And then price dropped and people are like, oh, I'm like, man, the price dropped. That was a price going up time. Now the copies that I sold Harbinger number one, they're $1,000, right? Did I make the right choice back in the 90s when I sold them? I bought other comic books. So maybe I sold before it dropped. I should have bought back again, but I didn't because I still have my three copies left, right? Or two copies left. There's always, it's part of the game. You just have to enjoy it. What? Because you keep following. I almost started writing a book. Let's say about three quarters a year ago. Plan was to add things over the span of 10 years to document the change in society, world and politics, et cetera. So I'd have something to read back on when I'm older and see how different things are. Silva, good idea. But what you can start doing is blogging, right? Share what you see, your thoughts online, open to people because what happens that way is you're giving people your perspective. You're sharing your information and you're getting feedback from people. So once you start getting feedback from people, both positive and negative, you can improve your writing, right? That's what I did to improve my writing when I started blogging. Highly recommend, but you have to have a thick skin. You're going to get criticized. People are going to trash talk you, man. Really? They're going to trash talk you, right? I was asking about Cambucha. What is Cambucha? Oh, Cambucha. Cambucha is something called a scobies. It's something that's alive that you put it into. You feed it sugar and it ferments and it's really good for the tummy. It's got a lot of good bacteria, microbes for your tummy, for your body. It's fizzy. It gets carbonated, right? It's very delicious. Look it up. Find one in your area and see if you like the taste. Okay. We were talking earlier about Spider-Man number one or seven that you had or could have bought. Yeah, it was seven, Martin. Yeah. I could have bought Spider-Man number one, but I couldn't get the money I was in school, right? It was like $1,400 or something. I put out a video on that, Martin, right? Where I could have bought Spider-Man number one for $1,400 and I asked relatives that had money at the time if I could borrow the money to buy this book and they asked me what it was I wanted for and I told them to buy Spider-Man number one a comic book and they all laughed at me and said no. Then I bring it up. The relatives that I still see, I bring it up with them every now and then telling them that, hey, remember that amazing Spider-Man number one, the comic book that I asked you for $1,400 if you gave me the money so I could buy it and they go, yeah, yeah. I go, you know how much it's selling for now? It's like that grade would be selling for like $60,000 or $80,000, right? And they're like, what? What? I'm like, it is what it is, right? I had my first three-day hangover the other week so for sure I'm getting old. Listen to Chichou drinking only gets harder. It gets harder. Yeah, I'll call it quite and primitive drug. What is Spider-Man so expensive now? It's Spider-Man number seven. It's expensive. At least you made a profit in selling it. Yeah, yeah, agreed. That's the way I look at it. And I had a fantastic time doing it, arc and aside. When characters are popular in popular culture, the comics go up in value, period. Yeah, I can drink more now than 20 years ago. Time for more alcohol control. Martin, be careful about it. Brother, be careful. Alcohol, you'll do fine, you'll do fine, you'll do fine. All of a sudden when the effects of alcohol start kicking in, recouping is difficult. Be careful brother, okay. Here, I'm gonna ban somebody. Okay, ban somebody. Has someone banned them already? This was deleted by a mod. Deleted, deleted, deleted. Timed out, timed out. Martin, I'm banning them. Ban. Boing. Chichou banned. Had to be done. Thank you for taking care of business, Martin. Carbonated drink is kavass. I don't know what kavass is. That's new to me. Yeah, for sure. Check it out, man. Does it count? Which is delicious? Kavass. I don't know what kavass is. I forgot to tell you, Chichou, remember I said I tried your cuckoo recipe? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nicholas, for your girl. I think you said for your girl or something. Well, I had my mom around for dinner tonight and made it for her. She loved it. Then I showed her the start of this stream. Nice. I have been working out like mad since I came back from my travels and both yesterday and today, I've eaten like a pig and mad. Does my body hate me right now? Gorging is mad. Gorging is hard on the body, man. I don't look gorgeous anymore, but I'm so glad your mom liked the cuckoo. Awesome. Or loved the cuckoo. Fantastic. And that means you're doing a great job making it, right? So delicious. So delicious. Yeah, booze tastes a big part out of you. I'm a boozer, but I recognize this. Just on the boozing part, brother. Who was it that writer, barfly, the person who wrote barfly, he recognizes it as well. And he said, he stopped drinking hard booze at some point and moved to wine. And he said by just moving, changing his drink to wine, he was able to live five years longer. Right? He still died early, but he was able to live five years longer, younger. So just timed out. Thanks, Martin. I banned one of them. Good job troll extermination squad. Cool. I would drink every night for five nights straight. You must be like 18, 19 years old. Tito bad is like a Hulk smash. I used to be able to drink and go out any day throughout the week and go into work the next day. Fine for, from 18 to 22. Then I got the most horrific handover once and it ruined me. Yeah. Now I'm 24 and taken. It takes a good couple of days to get back to normal. That was the moment I knew I was no longer invincible. Yeah. And you live through that silver lot of youth. When they find out they're invincible, sometimes those moments take them out of the game or affect them in a way where they're totally destroyed for the rest of their lives. You're Santa. I could be. I had a good teacher follow the video as best as I could. She's even going to add it to her cookbook. Awesome, Nicholas. That makes me happy. Feeding people makes me happy, man. Feeding people through the cooking videos makes me super happy, man. That's fantastic. I tried to drink one, but the outcome was I finished three liter pack in a day. Oh, that's not good, man. You're drinking too much. I have to sack someone for the first time in your, oh no. Well, think of it this way. You're, you're telling them that they're, they're not cut off for the job and hopefully moving them towards a better job. Yes, I'm editing you guess they're right. Yeah. It was a social media reason. Oh no. They're silly people. They posted private stuff on social media. People are dinglings, man. Not, not in, like we're doing something that's very intimate, personal, private to a certain degree, right? But when they do that kind of stuff for work, where is the logic in that? That couldn't have been easy Christian. I hate that part of my job. Yeah, that's unfortunate. Fortunately for me, I've never had to let anyone go. I've never been in that situation. Don't want the power. Cheecho, you probably won't believe this, but I'm literally scrubbing a toilet with my laptop and bathroom sink. I can't understand. I literally don't drop the laptop in the toilet. Too funny. So what's the most you've made on a comic and the most you've spent on one? I've spent a few hundred dollars on comics for sure. And I made a few hundred dollars on comics. I play in my ballpark. That's my ballpark. Like a few hundred dollars is a lot for me, right? So I play in my ballpark. I haven't gone into the thousands yet. At some point, maybe, right? I've owned several companies, but never actually let anyone go either. Cool. I've told other people. What's the rarest one you have at the moment? The rarest one, I think, as far as comic book goes, is Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners number 12. We've done a reading of it. If you go Cheecho, Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners, comic book reading or Jackie comic book reading Cheecho, you'll find that as far as I know, there's anywhere between 50 to 100 of those or 20 to 50 of those comics around. I lost the bidding on one of them, which was graded at seventh slab. I didn't have the money at the time went for 150 bucks, which is chump change for that comic book. I would have paid, if I had the money, I would have paid easily $350 for it, right? But at the time that was my limit, right? That's where we are. Fun gang. How long is this stream? We've been up for like three hours almost now. No? Fun. That was a good stream. I really wanted to do this and I told people a long time ago that I was going to do this. Round of questions Cheecho. What's the best way to, oops, update and get dried toothpaste out of a sink. Scrub away, man. Scrub away. Up time. There we go. Almost three hours again. Okay. Let's call this a stream. Let's call this a stream. Yeah. We call this stream. Thanks very much for being here again. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed the comics. Hopefully the glare wasn't too much and you were able to see the stuff. When is Cabal time? As soon as we get a barbecue, we still don't have a barbecue. We've got to go out and buy a barbecue. As soon as we get a barbecue, I might christen it with a live stream of Cabal. I'm not 100% sure. We might get a barbecue and try it out and then do one. But we will do a Cabal live stream. Most likely 99% sure this summer. But there will be a double stream. One of them will be prepping the Cabal's because you have to let them sit for a day at least. And then the next day we'll do the barbecue feast. Okay. Good night, Cheecho. So glad I finally made one. Awesome. Glad to have you along, American Side. Silva Action Comics. First edition published in 1913 is worth imagine having that comic hidden somewhere. Haha. I wish. I wish. And I think it's sold for the last one I checked was sold for three million. Right. Ciao. Ciao. Thanks for showing my pleasure, Nicholas. I hate Cabal four times. I need Cabal four times this week. Nice. I'm a chef, remember? Martin, you're gonna love my Cabal recipes. You're gonna love my Cabal recipes. Enkma. Good stream. Thanks, man. Thanks, man. Okay, gang. Hope you guys have a fantastic next few days and I'll try to announce the next set of streams on the weekend and we're gonna do them next week. Okay. I'm gonna go and try to edit some videos and stuff. We'll talk later. Catch you later, sir. You take care. You too. You too. Bye, everyone. Eduardo. No. We'll catch you on the next stream, brother. Bye.
