Thanks for coming to the show but please do a little more checking into show promoters. This show has been going on for over 20 years. But Heroes runs Heroes Con. David Hinson and Rick Fortenberry run the Charlotte Comicon. Glad you had a good time

Great video! I like hearing your thought process around how you decide what you want to buy and trade.

I think the 1st print run of TMNT #1 was around 3,000. Great find on that 3rd print, and congratulations on the Giant Size X-Men upgrade!

Great video! I love Heroes Con. Giant-Sized X-men #1 was my favorite of your haul.

Awesome Pickups, in Charlotte NC. Been to this convention. Lots of great books.

Thanks for posting this. I absolutely love videos of cons and comic stores

Claremont-Byrne was the high point in art and storytelling. An unbelievable run. 141 is my favorite.. have 22 copies of that book.. about half graded. Your trade was great.. Spider Gwen may not hold the hyped value.. but Giant 1 will always be valuable.

*Loved this video dude ! Watched it all . Love videos of buying and selling .. only thing wish you showed us the actual hustling when you make the deals . Would be fun too* 👍👀

I admire your passion for the hobby. It's real and genuine; I like that and that's why I subscribed. Gratz on your books.

Looks like a magnificent comic con. great video

Awesome video. Great breakdown. Killer books. 😎👏👏👏

That Thanos statue is extra mighty...seen gem mints video on it...happy to see it in your video

Congrats some great grabs!

Fun watching your convention dealings 👍 Gave you a sub

Just started getting into the collecting world (funko pops) but I wanted to dig deeper into the other stuff that’s out there, even if I’m not interested in getting in the market. Looked up collecting and your channel came up and let me tell you, I love seeing the passion and energy you give in your videos and it’s so amazing to see just how much time and effort you put into your craft. Love the videos, especially when you go to conventions since more than likely I wouldn’t go to one myself but seeing it from your POV and hearing your reactions and thought process makes it exciting for me to watch 😁 Definitely earned a sub! 👍

Those books are awesome! I want to see more convention videos like this and maybe a video on how to haggle with dealers. I would love to learn your ways 🙏 lol

You’ve inspired me to bring some comics for trade to my next comic con. Love your collection, love those X-Men

So I’m quickly becoming addicted to your channel. I really appreciate this video. I search con videos all the time to get a feel for what kind of comic presence is there and 80% it’s just anime and cosplay. Ty so much for this video it’s the info I was looking for

I'm glad KZfaq recommended me to you. Great vids

Just FYI, this show is done by Dave and Rick, I think they do 3 or 4 of these per year. The Heroes shows are Heroes con (the really big summer show) and Heroes mini con. Cool video

Awesome buys and trades.

You are 100% correct in all u said. I go every year. I have thought the exact same thing about the guy who puts it on, about his books. There is no way he sales anything!

Just found your channel...love what ya do and your approach to collecting...

Kathryn Hahn = Agnes, love the Wandavision set that came out from Upper Deck too. Nice books!

All day, would make that trade. Part of the motivation for collecting modern heat is being able to flip it for bigger books. Nice👍🏽 good strategy going back at the end of the day.

I go to the Atlanta comic convention every 4 months or so and i always spend a good chunk of money with TNT comics, great prices and always a smile on their face.

Really fun video to watch but was going to make sure that credit went to the right couple of guys... Dave Hinson and Rick Fortenberry. They do these shows multiple times each year and work hard to keep them fresh and fun for dealers and buyers/traders. Dave is an old pro at wheeling and dealing and I've traded books with him for years (he knows his stuff and loves to make a deal)!

I would make that trade all day long. Nice Job. Some great pickups. It's a buyers market right now, dealers want cash because they have bills to pay and too much inventory.

Green Lantern is awesome! One of my favorites.

Really enjoying these Vlog style vids dude! If it was 1,100 I would have picked that up right away hahah.

I love these wheel-and-deal videos. I see in your comments below that you misspoke on the price of the X-men 1 3.0. I was about to try to get you to give me the guys name so that I could snag it for $1100.🤣

One of my first conventions was a Heroes con all way back in 1989 yep I'm old but it was the one with Arthur Adams at the show that's why I went I'll never forget it was a great show got three sketches and bought some original artwork from art Adams personally well worth the trip

Glad it was a worthwhile trip. ❤️

You can never go wrong with a Giant Size X-men 1.

Your show is always fun to watch.

I love that Batman cover and congrats on the TMNT 😎

Great books,you know there is a book where Spiderman turns into the Phoniex and it's a cheap book but would look good next to that X-Men book.

Dave Hinson and his business Partner run the show. I've known Dave for a long time. Yes, Heroes is pricey at cons. Lots of overhead on that shop but they negotiate way better in store. They have a nice store uptown Charlotte. Dave closed his Fort Mill, SC store years ago. You did the right thing. Stick to your guns and know when to walk away. The market still favors the collector at this time, not for long though. Folks are moving monies out of the Stock Market and into Art and collectables again. So, the monies are beginning to ramp up slowly for the books. I've been trading up to the -NM ~ 9.8's as fast as possible at the price I want to pay. Don't use 2021 as a benchmark. I still hunt the Garage Sales...

I believe it that the guy behind this con is doing well, people are always talking well about their store. However after actually dropping by their store, I am not really sure how. $15-20 on $3 books is crazy. What is weird is that they often have clearances at their warehouse.

1st Moon Knight isn't worth keeping IMO. Even 1st app of Black Panther dropped a ton after the movie. GSX1 is a top 4 Bronze all- VERY smart trade.

I have been after that book for a while. hopefully l can find it at a good price.

😂😂 The Angry comics booth sold me a Raw copy of GSX1 for 600 two years ago. I sent to CGC and it came back a CGC 9.0

I'm familiar with a bunch of these dudes and can confirm, the dudes at TnT are top notch.

You managed to get some really big books. I think the Invincible #1 has potential to become hot again once season 2 comes out. I was thinking you should trade hot books for cool ones. Giant Sized is on a bit of dip but Edge of Spiderverse 2 is really hot so you might get more for your trade and the dealer might be more receptive to it. Personally I can only trade when I have dups of the books.

Congrats on the xmen

Judging for your accent, I'd guess you're a Southern guy like myself. Rick Fortenberry (one of the guys who puts on the show) is a friend that I got my Batman 232 cbcs 8.5 from. You also had a brief glimpse of another great guy, Lyn Anderson who puts on a show in Raleigh 3 times a yr. Next show is early December and has some great vendors , Like Rick and Dave Hinson . You really should look into checking it out if you're in NC and looking for great 1 day show.

I have friends who live in the Charlotte area so I'm familiar with Heroes. Yeah the prices are nuts. Great trade . I actually have my green lantern 76 at my presser right now in prep to go to cgc. Great stuff. Subscribed.

Cool video and it looks like a lot of fun working the floor trying to do trades. Curious...how much of a % hit off of FMV do you take when trading to a dealer? I'd assume the trade has to be in their favor instead of just a sideways move.

I love these videos

you made a great deal!!!

GSX 1 doesn't get as much credit for also being the first appearance of Illyana Rasputin (Magik) and Krokoa. These both are pretty huge also, especially Krokoa since the modern story arcs revolve around it.

🔥shirt .. I want one !

Alot of good books

That 3500 XMen, looked so much better on camera than the 3100 one. No comparison in the color and to me that would be way more important. The 3k one looked pretty good, better than that 3100 5.5, that was so damn yellow.

I WAS THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHAT A GREAT CON. GOING BACK NEXT YEAR HOPE TO RUN INTO.

I have a 1970s frank frezetta poster thinking getting framed with Conan.

I’ve got to know where I can order that shirt right now 😂

1100 for xmen 1 3.0 awesome deal

Why was that TMNT 8.5? Spine tic? Looked good to me.

For $3,000 you can now get a CGC 7.5 copy of Giant-Size X-Men 1. Dang.

How many vendors? Is one quarter show bigger than the other?

Would you rather invest in a mid grade tmnt1 or a low grade xmen 1?

I'm currently watching the video but you said the X-Men #1 3.0 was $1,100? Is that a slip up? Did you mean 11K?

Heroes Aren't Hard to Find prices are always ridiculous. It's gotten to the point I just keep walking when I get to their tables.

All day …. I got my GS1 6.0 for $3100…Covid savings gone….that X-men #1 I wouldn’t have passed on

1,100 ? For xmen 1 highly doubt it, but I’ll keep watching.

I don't understand the mentality of paying a entry fee to buy someone's books, coins, cards or anything. It is totally ridiculous.

Did u say 1100 for that x men 1

I have tons of middle level keys wish I could find someone willing to trade extra big keys for a bunch of smaller ones I really want a hulk 181 I'd trade way more to their advantage for one

Did you say 1,100 for that xmen #1 3.0??? 1,100 would be the deal of the century.

How much did you get for trade in? 50% 60% 70%

X men 1 3.0 1100?! 10k book no?

Heroes is awkwardly high on their wall and showcase books. Always.

$1,100 for a 3.0 X-men 1? Why didn’t you buy it?

lol, 1,100 for x men #1 i would've bought that. I know you meant 11K.

🙂

$1,100 for the Xmen 1? I think you meant $11,000

You meant X-Men #1 at “eleven thousand dollars” not “eleven hundred...”. If it was the latter it would be the deal of a lifetime.

My number one regret in life was selling my turtles when I was a teenager.

WoW everything is so cheap

I have the second printing of Raphael that I’m selling along with 16 other TMNT titles. Search on Mercari

TMNT #1 First print 3,000 copies Second print 6,000 copies Third print 30,000 copies

You said $1100 for xmen 1. Did you mean $11,000???? 😆

It cost a lot of money to run a booth it wasn’t worth it anymore everyone is trying to lowball and make money the ppl who love comics are being replaced with ppl worried only about money

Invincible 1 is just an ugly cover. With slabs cover is king in moderns. Even in Bronze Age… the best artists had some of the best cover compositions… those are the ones that garner the most attention and value over the decades. John Byrne, Neal Adams, etc…

Heroes are the worst they always over price and they never want to do any good deals

Lol you brought garbage to try to trade

Wow… this video has so many errors in it
