 I'll just put this out there since it's been coming up before we look at the comic book haul, right? I know that there is Getting into comic book collecting can be expensive, right? It can be expensive, but you can definitely do it on a budget Okay, and a lot of people I found that they chase a lot of hot books And if you're chasing hot books, you're gonna be paying a very premium price for those hot books, right? now That's sort of the name of the game. That's sort of what happens in the comic book industry But please keep this in mind if you're thinking about getting the comic book collecting or whatnot If you stop chasing hot books What you'll find out is you can get your hands on some amazing comic books for an Amazing price because what you find out is some of those hot books Sell for ridiculous amounts of money and then the next issue in the series You can buy for a dollar or very cheap relative to that hot book, right? And the next issue in the series would have the same writers the same artists Featuring the same characters Continuing from a story that would have started from the previous issue, right? So you're getting an Amazing comic book, right? That is in the series telling a grand story sometimes epic stories that continue on for Dozens of issues, right? And you're getting it for a song and a dance Sometimes you can get it in a dollar bin. Sometimes you can get it for less than a dollar Sometimes get a whole bunch of them for like Two or three dollars, right? So if you're thinking about getting the comic books, it can be an expensive hobby Okay, but it doesn't have to be and from me what I end up doing is When I start collecting comic books, I look for amazing deals I don't necessarily chase hot books. This is very very rare that I chase hot books I buy comic books for the love of comic books and I don't necessarily read right away everything that I'm dying not That I'm buying not even close, right? You know in the past I've mentioned this when we started this comic book series of Videos that we've been producing which was I guess like five or six years ago I believe in even in the first comic book video that I put out I mentioned that I would have at that time. I would have probably read Maybe anywhere between 30 35 percent of my collection, right? Right now it's probably down to because we've been in a lot of comic book calls right now It's probably down to like 20 25 percent of the comic books. I've read in my collection, right? That means if I go on a major budget or no budget where I don't have the funds to buy comic books What I can do is go to my comic book collection and just pick up comic comic books that I haven't read and Read those or reread the comic books that I have in my collection, right? Like if I stop buying comic books right now and if I kept on reading comic books every day I probably have enough comic books to read For a decade ten years, right? so you're Buying comic books not just because they're hot if you're really into comic book collecting You're buying comic books because they either have an amazing story to tell you like the artist You like the writers you like the character. They happen to be From a genre from a period that you find interesting may be the golden age of comics silver Bronze modern age, whatever period it might be. Okay, I just wanted to mention that because This topic has been has come up a fair bit where comic book collecting happens to be very expensive But just like anything else, whatever you do, it really depends on you what you want to make of it. Okay?
