The old timer is correct. CGC did nothing for the hobby but bring in speculators. I have over 10,000 books. I have three boxes of slabs. The slabs I've purchased were because I couldn't find a high enough grade of the book for my collection or I was speculating. I understand slabbed books but high grade high value books belong in a mylar with a nice sturdy board.

I completely agree with the guys opinion about slabs. And I'm probably 1/2 his age. it's just hype. speculation. making a quick buck.

That guy at the 11:30 minute mark is pure gold what a legend he summed it up so well 🙌

I really dig that guy wearing the UCF hat! 👍

12:04 preach it brother!

I love when you talk to the old-timers.

I’m glad you guys finally made it to Greg’s table and highlighted him. Great long time seller and huge knowledge of the business. Traveling up and down the roads with him growing up and doing shows with him. Great knowledge of the business and listening to great southern rock as a kid.

@13:00 mark. That gentleman is absolutely correct! Slabbing is for flipping or investing. I collect raws but I do have slabs and that’s only for selling in the future. It preserves and there’s no question on the grade so let’s talk money. But I want to read my comics…all of them so I go for raws in mid grade. If it’s really expensive then I’ll get a low grade just to wet the comic pallet. Who is this seller? Does he have a IG? I’d love to support him.

Good on that guy at 12 min mark, amen to what he was saying.

11:49 - this is the best guy at the whole con

I understand the gentleman's opinion on CGC/slabbing - it's a devisive thing. But for me I like having slabbed books for display purposes. And have never 'flipped' a single one, and have no plans to do so anytime soon. But I do consider them an investement - only time will tell if it's a good one. Either way collecting them has brought me joy.

I enjoyed the gentleman's opinion on CGC/slabbing, he's right they aren't Baseball cards or coins where you can just flip those over to see the whole thing.... the only reason to slab is if you're selling to get a better price.

Loved the megacon series! You guys have been killing it lately with the videos. Great job! Unreal artwork you’ve added to your collection. Smart move investing in that stuff more now too. All the best, cheers!

I got to meet Greg White at the Albuquerque Comic Con in January, 2024. I was going through the same Wonder Woman box as you, Sarah! I found two beautiful silver age WW books and bought them from Greg. Those comic books are all gorgeous ❤

Great video! Preach Greg preach!

Most collectors don't actually read comics. They only buy for the cover or if it's a "key issue". This is why CGC has gotten such a foothold. CGC has transformed comics into commodities instead of what they are supposed to be: stories.

I wish you could some how get a shot of the artist names at their booths

Great video

Great Video!!!

Good Show!!

Collecting OA is expensive but it’s awesome. I pick up Eastman OA when I can afford it!

It would be great if you could add text to show the artists/vendors that you feature in these videos.

Everytime I see flash book especially silver age I just smile I love them so much 👑❤️

Awesome too see those Lois Lane comics

I just don't understand what the big deal is. The way I see it... is I'm cool with both reading and preserving.. if something is worth alot... slab it ...grade it....and read a reprint .. if it's not worth alot (which is the majority) read the hell out them. Save the good stuff for slabs !!!! Both are cool in my book

I have some books that i would like slabbed but not graded by cgc, and maybe top loaders will do, but i have a few connecting issues of comics that i think would look great displayed next to each other, but that would be for me

The old man hates slabs but yet has slabs for sale

How does the cons Batman Beyond foil differ from the Batman Beyond foil that came out in comic stores a month ago?

Jae Lee is always an awesome artist

What ever pays me, lol

That guy seemed like he had a really poor attitude. He did say he was tired, but when you asked “ do you have a favorite character or title” he said “ whichever pays”…that was a big downer. The dude really doesn’t have one character or team or book he likes?!? He needs to learn to be a bit more cheerful

When are you going to meet Ryan Ottley and get a sketch?

Who was the artist in the Daytona 500 shirt? Like 8 mins in. Thanks guys!

Comics are no longer what these shows are about. They need to change the name

Doesn't look at it as an investment but has huge price tags

dude say i dont sell to slabbers and flippers...... angelo

Hi. What's the name of the old-timer at 9:50? Does he have an online presence at all?

megacon looked great loved your doctor doom drawing

lol, at thirteen min, wouldn't that had been f'n hilarious if, while he's talking lmao, you see this hand, lol, sloowlly grab that Inc Hulk 181 in the back ground just to the left of his face,...lol, no barriers, no cameras recording, ...would a jewelry store convention have zero security?

Always find it interesting when people who fashion themselves to be entreprenuers and dont know shit about comics history, go to cons, make a short video of true comic lovers to fake their cred, and then think they are wonderful because some flavor of the month artist draws something for them. So totally awesome!

Did he ever get his stolen book found?

I can appreciate his sentiment on grading companies, but he’s still profiting off their existence by selling books based off the price of graded copies. Unless he’s selling that Amazing Fantasy 15 behind him for 10 cents, that’s all I’m saying.

If you notice most of these artists are wore out... I get the feeling they don't want to talk 😅 they seem irritated

The videos were great (except the one where you give away comics, that one was boring). I watched them with great pleasure, keep it on!

Whatever came of that vendors af 15 that was stolen then being sold on eBay?

Graded anything is over rated and waste of money and does taint the whole idea there to many flippers and not enough respect and admiration for the art the artist and we are teaching the young wrong way and tainting the origin

Excellent Video! Awesome Comics and That Moon knight drawing is amazing.

Y’all should take lessons from that old head

The old man is so right I totally agree with him he is awesome… 🫡

"Who knows who has the best collection in the country". Anyone who has any real knowledge of comics knows it's Dave Anderson, the Dentist. And saying "Batman 1 is better than Tec 27", you're fucking nuts dude! Not even close haha
