The fact that Drake said "no free feet pics" implies that there's a paid version of this video with no blur on the feet.

Least valuable will always be a paradox, because the moment something becomes the least valuable, it gains value for that trait.

Funny thing is that Drake could still auction it even as a joke and no doubt he could find a market for people going after "the lowest grades CGC comic."

This is a hilarious topic idea that I wish I'd thought up.

They may be worthless, but I still felt bad for the issues being torn and destroyed.

I'm calling it now whatever comic he shows will have a slight boost in value after this video, leading it to stop being the least valuable

The mathematics KZfaq channel Numberphile had a similar idea about "the first boring number", as in one that could not be described in less than twenty words. They came to the same conclusion as you that by labeling it as "the first boring number", they accidentally made it interesting.

When my dude just tossed it on the desk to get graded, the utter disrespect was brutal.

An ending worthy of a Greek tragedy

this is a classic example of the observer effect where, by conducting this experiment, you have changed the result

As soon as I read 'Most Worthless Comic', I immediately thought of the Lara-Su Chronicles.

The comic I’m writing now.

Dude, this came out great! Thanks for inviting me along. It was good to finally get to hang out and hey, the CGC facility and people there being so awesome wasn't bad either. And Ashley, if you're watching, thanks for taking such good care of us!

Hahaha!! I'm totally watching this video, yes! Thanks for the shoutout, you guys! (And thanks for getting that She-Hulk book, Maggie!) Many years ago, I made my own Adam Hughes art book by carefully removing covers from their books and then organizing them in Itoya folders. Felt really odd destroying the books to do so, but that art book wasn't going to make itself! Fun to watch you absolutely obliterate that worthless book tho

Watching you destroy those comics, worthless or not is killing my soul lol. Great video though ;)

Props to the CGC guys for going along with Drake's idea. Also, you could tell they loved comics, I could feel their pain on their first encounters with the item.

I had a Fantastic Four #1 in 0.5 condition (signed by Jack Kirby which didn't help but still...) that was heavily restapled and taped, and the greatest thing about it was that you could throw it really hard at people and it wouldn't make any difference in the world!

Yeah, it now sorta falls into that "misprint" category, where it's valuable BECAUSE it's messed up. Or... I wonder what you might be able to find on "totally irrelevant and inconsequential comics that happened to feature in some other media". Like, someone reading a random comic on Malcolm in the Middle or whatever that IS a real comic but not one of any kind of importance. A nice catalogue of "The most expensive worthless comics".

The little toss onto his table at the grading was comedy gold

And here I thought this would be played as a joke, but this is legit interesting!

As dumb as it may be, the biggest surprise in this video for me was that Yahel and Drake are friends I had no idea, honestly the coolest part. And yeah, this video ironically moved the needle on the value, but hey. At least y'all had fun, and that. Can't ever be taken away or undone, is that sappy? Sure, but also true

The chaos really kicks up a notch around the 10 minute mark

Unironically Matt Nelson has such a relaxing voice. If he ever quits the cgc he should make asmr

Your destruction of the book really didn't faze me at all because honestly there are so many copies of these books in the world that no one wants, it's really no loss for one copy to be destroyed. I think a lot of people are really unaware of the scale at which worthless mass produced books are thrown away and recycled by book stores, libraries and publishers. I think there's a pretty strong chance that this book would have just been recycled eventually if you hadn't subjected it to this torture, and now instead of being turned into pulp, you turned it into a one-of-a-kind item with a fascinating story behind it! I sincerely think that's something worth celebrating.

arguably this video now gave these comics more value simply from being the comics featured in this very video

11:08 as a comic collector this filled me with a level of pain I was not ready for. I unintentionally started going ahhhh when it was folded

This is unironically the single best April Fools video this year. Like it's actually interesting but also

I'm not a comic guy and I still winced at the destruction of those comics...

Watching the comic book destruction physically hurt me

Truly this comic lived long enough the become the villain.

My immediate thought when seeing the title was 'its gonna be something from the 90s'. I was right on that front but thought it be something either made or inspired by Liefeld like an issue of Deathmate. Which was crossover between Valiant and Image (the parts own by Silvesti, Lee, and of course Liefeld) that burst the bubble. But then realized that give it a form of value since it technically would be a key issue. Not for the world comics, but the real world

I love how everyone at the CGC took this so seriously

2:44 Bro, not the disrespect on Dwayne McDuffie's Deathlok 😭😭 I understand the intent, but I just read that run and it's so good that I'm feigning offense! 😤😤

I remember years ago in a stream you said you'd do an April Fools video on Sonichu, and I will hold you to that until the end of time

I need to know. Were those chairs comfortable? They look so fancy and comfy.

The gasp I gusped at exactly 11:10

"You have become the very thing you swore to destroy!"

Haven't finished it, but what a clever idea for a video. It's somewhat paradoxical. What is the most "random" number between 1 and 20? The most common answer is 17, but wouldn't that make it the *least* random number? If word ever got out that there is a "most worthless" comic, its value would immediately shoot up as a necessary collectable.

The destruction actually made me upset. Good Job! :D

Most worthless comic? _Any Spider-Man with Paul on it, or any comic with Punchline on it ..._

I didn't know Billiam was a Florida Man, but his channel makes more sense now

If you put effort into finding something worthless, that effort you put creates value in it, Moral nothing you want to find can be deemed worthless... even worthlessness.

An item is worth what one is willing to pay for it, so I think you could still successfully have the least valuable comic of all time by subverting that. Have a legal purchase agreement made that would require the owner to pay a regular fee for owning the comic (preferably to a third party) that completely outweighs the selling price. Legally curse your comic book, Drake.

I know they're probably not worth the paper they're printed on but it feels wrong seeing someone tear up a comic

A wild Billiam appears

Very impressive look at Comic collecting and preserving...by going for the exact opposite goal most would

Probably NFL Superpro #1 or whatever comic book I eventually crap out

You could pay someone to take it off you 😂

This hurts my soul. Great video.

No way! I’ve SOLD to Toy Headquarters!! That’s awesome!

I guess the Superman comics aren’t as sturdy as a kryptonian.🐱

Hahah, I was not expecting Billiam in this video X'D

Billiam cameo was crazy

Every copy of Isom

I had to put this into podcast mode as soon as the destruction began, because I began feeling unwell watching it. I mean, that COULD be the pepperoni pizza dinner talking, or I just have more love for physical media than I thought.

How did I know Vegansuperkick would be in this video as soon as you started talking about grading

"When the second grader finished his assessment [...]" still very impressed and appreciative of all the work that second graders do. Much more than I did at that age.

7:07 Oh that's the guy who did the art for City of Heroes!

Legitimately the trolly-est thing ive seen today, given that its april fools day, and i love it. Thanks drake for taking time to do all this, ya got some chuckles out of me today.

This was such a neat experiment and I love the way it turned out, especially the way Matt handled it, that's awesome

There's a way you could have done this that didn't involve destroying comics. Even if they aren't worth any money that's still super disrespectful to everyone who worked on it.

The destruction part hurts my soul

The biggest problem with least valuable is you can only go so far. It can't be worth less than $0.01 so it gets tied with possibly hundreds of others out there. Unless you can find someone who will offer you say... a can of soup for $1.00 but only $0.50 with this book can you go into negative value... intriguing prospect.

May I suggest "Nolan Ryan #1" from Personality Comics that came bundled in a dollar store 3 for $1 pack in the mid-90s. Alternatively "The Chromium Man" from Triumphant comics from the same kind of bundle. Funny enough, my copy of Spawn #1 came in one of these bundles I horded as a pre-teen collector at the peak of the 90s craze.

My most valuable comic would probably be a Power Rangers comic signed by David Yost I got from him at Power Morphicon because he liked my Q&A question the best but to be honest, I completely failed at keeping it in good quality... It's probably still more valuable than any of the rare few others I own though (which includes Megaman NT Warrior vol 1, Future 5 #1 (even if Linkara reviewed it, it's even labeled as a free comic, along with the fact that it's a PSA not tied to literally any publisher (No publisher is credited as EdFund and the other origination credited are not publishers) , Shonen Jump September 2003 and uh... Gundam Wing Blind Target I borrowed from a public library for reasons unknown (I'm not a fan of Gundam Wing in particular) and never returned). My least valuable would probably be any of the ones I got at a Free Comic Book Day event.

DUUUDE, this is one of the most fun videos I've watched from your channel! Hoping this gets some success.

I don't really care for comics myself but seeing anyone destroy something like that for no real reason aside from "to lower its value" just hurts to see. In my opinion I think purposely destroying it is cheating sense your looking for the most worthless comic book aka which comic outside of its visual quality is the lest valuable not "destroy a book not many people talk about and call it a day".

Spider-Man "One More Day?"

I'm now a big fan of learning more about comics and the inner workings of them and what happens in the background hope to see more like this great work 😁👍

The other CGC guy going ‘oh wow’ when Drake just tore the taped on cover off to straighten it out was gold!

Did anyone’s sole get crushed when he started destroying the comic?

My first ever comic book was Batman: The Dark Knight #4 from 2012. The mailman left it on top of the mailbox and it got rained on so there’s tons of water damage. Probably a 0.5 or 1 in quality. But man this is really making me want to preserve it because even though it’s a pretty terrible issue it was my first step on a hobby I’m still invested in today.

spent the entirety of the destruction part just yelling “LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!” at my screen like they were just comics……….

Around here, it might be X-Men 1 (1991). A comic book store I owned a bit of got several thousand copies as back issues and everyone who had any interest at all bought one, or the entire variant cover run.

The most worthless is either Cyberfrog or Isom.

Loved the whole damn thing! This was fantastic and hilarious!

As someone who collects comics man seeing this video made me almost cry 😢

I realize it’s not important but hearing Action Comics #1 referred to as “a Superman comic” kinda melts my brain haha

found your channel recently and really love it. i’m in Florida so this was really cool haha. can’t wait to continue watching your content 🫶🏼🏝️ also as a queer and Puerto Rican person i just really admire the way you discuss a lot of diverse topics, something we definitely need. thank you for what you do man

This entire video's premise hurts my soul. You know that feeling where you see something (say a UCS LEGO Star Destroyer) gets absolutely demolished and it hurts every fiber of your being? It's that.

I could put those exact issues in that condition in my quarter bin and still sell them faster than Turok the Dinosaur Hunter #1

The philosophical question of when it stops being a book and starts being a collection of pages is a good one. I think you hit the right balance there in regards to page count but I still feel as though you could perhaps, tear the pages in half partially and otherwise deface them to the point that they become partially illegible.

Great job. Fantastic video. Thank you!

This reminds of this one time when I was a kid, and I was cleaning out and found some old issues of Cartoon Network comics or something like that under my bed. My mom told me to bring them to a comic store to sell them, and when I did, I could see the lady struggle to tell me "these are worthless".

What a fantastic video. Using the framing of “least valuable” to explore the grading process is such a great idea. Short of comics thrown in the trash, you may have gotten at least valuable although if you’re paying to grade any comic then it’s got some value to you.

Hey, it's still worthless if we keep it notoriously worthless

The entire intentional destruction sequence starting at 11:08 made me wince as a comic fan, regardless of how "worthless" a particular issue may be. I just would not have it in me to destroy a comic like that. I gasped out loud several times.

I got from Comic Con (2018 I think) a copy Action Comics N.1 BUT it was for the 50th anniversary of Superman so it came out in 1989. I payed 250$ CAD but how much would it cost in if I graded it?

You now need to send it off to CGC to get the official 0.0!

My very first comic was Fantastic Four #346, which I got as a little kid at a used bookshop that had all their comics in a random pile on a shelf, no bags or boards. I read and re-read it many times and it spent its life smashed between assorted magazines. The cover has now fully detached from the rest of the comic. I have since bagged and boarded the poor thing, but it's a definite 0.5 😂 It's still a treasure to me!

I’ll take it for 50,000

My vote for the weirdest comic ever: Getiatric Gangrene Jujitsu Gerbils. Yes this is a legitimate comic, and I own one

Glad that the exact thing I was thinking throughout the process was said at the end

Thanks for teaching me about where and how to get comics and collectable slabbed

As someone who loves looking up obscure characters and stats them up for RPGs and the like, I know way more about Foxbat & Genesis than I would care to admit, lol.

This is probably the best April Fool's video I've seen in years.

Nothing could be as bad as actually reading it, which I totally did, back in the day.

I feel like the 'rating' of the comic should have been taken out of the equation. Worthless or not it hurts to see these comics getting destroyed, plus I was hoping this was going to be a search for the most worthless plot comic

the montage of him destroying the comic books was so painful

"and it was in your pocket too?" "yes" "thats incredible"
