I stumbled upon your channel and loved the first video on 80 page annuals - that got me to subscribe immediately. I'm 68, and to this day I love all the fun stuff we had as kids. Of course I love comics, but also Tonka trucks, Lionel electric trains, marbles, Topps Mars Attacks bubble gum cards, cereal promotions like baking soda submarines, voyage to the bottom of the sea lunch box, and so much more. I've worked hard all my life and just retired from the Summit County Sheriff's Office so life is serious enough. That part of me that loves these things will never grow up. That's what 'fun' means to me. Thanks for sharing your passion, and your wonderful memories.

Normally I see collectors that more closely resemble hoarders, but your collection is curated like a museum! Also, being eight foot tall, lines up with bumping into things🤣

I love your comic room, your comics collection is awesome! What I really love is your non book collection! All the different items and posters and lunchboxes etc. I could spend hours just looking at all your additional collectables. ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family and everyone watching!

Hey Allen..Ive said it before, but wow..I never tire of looking at your wonderful comic and pop culture collection..I especially love the Apes dedicated shelf..Amazing stuff my friend !

Allen , Thanks for the wonderful vicarious gift of warm memory treasures. Always a treat, Sir/

I never, ever get tired of watching your videos, Allen. My wife and I plan to buy a home very soon in Delaware, so I'll finally have my own man-cave. Though not as impressive as yours, I've also been collecting since the 60's/70's. Looking and getting inspired by your vids, hopefully soon I'll have my own "Allen-Cave". (Holy Collecting, Batman. Maybe I'll do a video like you, my hero). Anyway, as always, thanks for sharing and inspiring us all.

I'd love to see a video where you talk through your grading process! Such an amazing collection...

That’s right we are getting to your Winter buying hiatus. I applaud your willpower my friend. I sometimes do go months without buying anything but that is more due to not finding stuff cheap.😁 Your room tours never get old and neither does my amazement. 🤯

Always a pleasure to go on a room tour. I have considered taking extended collecting breaks as well. I usually last about 3 weeks. Thanks Allen.

Wow - what a nice surprise to see this room tour during my lunchtime KZfaq viewing! Your "hiatus" from buying is a great idea - not only for the "control" aspect but a nice way to save some money. Of course, to be used to buy more comics in the future. :-) Thanks for sharing, Alan - hope to see Room #2 soon.

What an amazing room. Love, love how you label you short boxes. Think I need to steal that idea. Your displays are top notch.

Wonderful collection, beautifully displayed!

What an amazing collection and display you’ve got. The layout looks like a comic shop. You just need a spot for the cash register. Lol

This has to be one of the finest collections in the world. Cannot tell you how wowed I am every time I see it.

Awesome just awesome Allen. You could have walked around that room for an hour and I wouldn't have tired of it.

in the 1980's finding books was a lot harder , great tour !!

Love how you got your boxes label with the picture sample of the books. Comic addiction is not a bad thing. Control of the wallet is something I forced myself to do. Comic collecting should be a fun thing not breaking the bank account. LOL Your collection is a great source of inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Always great to see this room. Thank you!. ... Yeah, I'm pulling back my spending after Christmas. I went a little crazy getting things for the 25th. ... Great point about turning off notifications on ebay. I will do that. I must do that. I need to do that. I hope to do that. I'll try to do that.....

you still have a fantastic room. I haven't been able to buy any collectibles for about 5 months. I have money saved up, and in February, I am going to place a larger order some where.

Great collection you should be proud great job!

This is where I want to go on vacation, this room. LOL! Happy holidays my friend!!

Wonderful to view, be safe and a Merry Christmas to you and your family Allan.

Hi there! it a heaven of Comics mate! Great collection! New friend ! Have a great week!!!

What a great video. And I agree with you. I've had to stop collecting about 30 times over the years. It is good to step back. Although few of us admit that, because to most collectors it sounds as it we are speaking blasphemy. ha. The display of lunchboxes is so clean and smooth. Nicely done.

You have to take another trip in that room. Did I see a matchbox display. When I was little after my haircut my grandmother would buy me a Matchbox car back in the 70s. And I also got a metal Howard Johnson's truck that I wish I kept. I enjoyed your video Happy New Year

Nothing wrong with this type of addiction.....all the best for the new year!

That room looks like heaven!

Very nice comic book room.

Sharing both parts to my Facebook channel! Merry Christmas, Allen!

Awesome collection, I am going to follow your lead and go on a buying hold just to see if I can do it lol

Wow! Like a museum

This room looks like something I could only imagine in my dreams... Was that a matchbox cars display back there beyound the counter? I don't think you ever show these before. Would love to see a video about it. Merry christmas to you and your loved ones Allen!

the grading process is important. For me, thats step one. Bu then, I have to UPDATE my worth of my collection, by comparing it to the latest Price Guide list values for the comics based on their condition and title and issue number.

Incredible!

Good video sir 👍, and I have to say I try to typically limit my comic collecting to one or two days a week, because I am so far behind on sorting and reading them.

I haven't bought a comic in a year. No money. Although that has given me the opportunity to read some things I had on my shelf and I had yet to crack open.

👍

I think my wife would be okay with my collection if I was as organized as you.

Walking into things just means u have a lot of things!

Peanutbutter524 is here we are family now hope you don't mind #comicbookfamily wow awesome tour you have lots of cool stuff

I think I should challenge myself for 3 months but I think I would fail that challenge.

This room is bloody *Awesome!!*

I haven’t bought any new comics or been in a comic shop or a convention since last March, but in my case it’s because of Covid 19 and I’m committed to social distancing because of my compromised immune system and also because I’m looking after an elderly mother, so no unnecessary shopping whatsoever until we get a vaccine at some point. Hopefully in 2021 sometime I’ll go on a comics shopping spree.

I'm single 😥😥😥😥😥
