Not a fan of bags with old price stickers on them. It is more work, but a new bag and board with the correct price, or peeling off the old price sticker is the right way to go. Heck, even putting the correct price sticker over the old one is better than the customer thinking they are getting a deal and then finding the real price. I wish I could find a new booth of that size around here!

I went out today and picked up a 19 book run of Cerebus (1st series) for $0.50 each. 27-45 Score. 45 year old books.

Another good voice over vid. Nice job. In my experience, you rarely find any comics worth buying at an antique shop. As you point out they are typically over priced. Glad you were able to score a few.

Out here in the Phoenix area, I haven't really found comics at flea markets. The big one, Park 'n Swap, had one vendor with one partially filled long box of low quality 90s stuff. Nothing that I wanted. There's an antique store near my house that sometimes has comic books, but as you noted in the video, always overpriced. I was there last weekend, and there were a bunch of $2-3 books with prices in the $8 to $10 range. I think some of these guys look up the price for a 9.8 slabbed copy and stick that on their 5.0 to 7.0 raw copy because they don't know any better.

Always great seeing a new comic vid on a Friday

I really like the voice overs, it's more informative and entertaining. And I've noticed more and more love for ole' flame head. So glad to see it.

I thought the bone claws were a great plot device.

David Nakayama is great, I had him sign my Gwen-verse 1 :)

Thanks for sharing your comic hunting adventures….👍🏽

If it’s been sitting in a frame, you may want to make sure it has not had any light damage to it. It may have had colors faded.

I like the format of voice overs when you're at the locations. It was neat to see the book she got and especially the captain america.

Another great video!! Love the comics that you got. Keep up the great job. 😎

I love comic covers that mess with the trade dress.

FYI, the Captain Carter you have, had a print run of about 3,000. There is a virgin variant of that one which had a print run of about 1,000. But still a cool cover.

Not sure of the condition of Spiderman 162 you showed, but the going price on Ebay is at least $20.

Love that Cap Carter cover!!

Great job I'll add in as a fan of the voice overs

Some great finds! Thanks for showing off the Miles books and Captain Carter variant.

I don't think I've ever been to the Sturbridge flea market. Definitely look like a lot of fun digging there. Prices seemed a little on the higher side but I'm sure there's some good gems in there hidden. I do like when they play around with the trade dress like that gives it a unique look to the cover

Actually found a variant copy of the what if miles morales was thor in a dollar bin so I scoped it up fast but haven’t been able to bring myself to read it for the reason you said

Ya these books were "over priced." I wonder what the cost of the booth is, or does the vender have to pay a % of the value to the antique mall? To me I usually pay a bit more on some books even at a comic shop. Only because of 2 things. 1, I like to support the local shops, and 2 I really like the fact I can hold and look at the book I am thinking on buying, and just go home with the book and not worrying if someone is going to steal my books off my front porch. nuff said....

Great pick ups! Love that Miles Variant cover. I just learned about that Thor story a week or two ago… yeeesh.

Bone claws did it for me too

Agree on those prices. I'm amazed X-men 25 went down soooooo low! I didn't get mine when it came out. However, I have to finish story arcs I love. When I finally found one, it was at a very high price, $75!! However, I had to have it to finish the story. I think when I found it it was about 1999. Still highly sought after then. Or I got ripped off. 🤷 The only saving grace is it's hologram is very blue. Not sure if the error has to be all blue or if it varies. I'm not 100% sure if it is or not but it appears to be the rare blue error version. You have to hold it a certain way to even get a hint of the yellowish green color that is supposed to be in it to give the 3d effect. If so it was definitely worth it in the long run.

Another great vid Mike , you get so excited when referencing books that had an impact on you Eg X-men 25

When you go back you might want to see if the FF 164 is still there. Unless it's really beat up or over priced that would be a solid pick up. It's the first Frankie Raye.

Would Love to hear your thoughts on X-men 97! Ghost Rider 1 was my favorite pickup. Also grew up with Danny Ketch. Found the first John Walker book at a dollar sale recently.

So awesome to see the cool and unusual places you find cool comics. When you come across the "Fatal Attractions" series, which has X-Men 25, look closely at the holograms. There are manufacture defects with some of the holograms which make them rare and valuable. I have found several "blue" colored ones which look really cool!

Nice pick ups Mike. I need to get my butt over there. I was planning on going there last weekend and plans fell through. Probably can't go this weekend but I may get some footage from another place. 🤞🏻 I have some time. 👊🏼

I have that What If? Series and really liked it. IMO the Thor issue is more cringy than it is genuinely offensive, but I certainly understand the backlash.

Great stuff, Mike! My favorite is that US Agent busting through the trade dress, sucker for those covers as well! How are you like X-Men 97 so far??

The majority of those comics are dollar comic, I bought a massive lot of comics of similar quantity, the original owner of the comics was asking for $3,000.00, I only paid $300.00, never pay full price, these are all overpriced and not worth buying.

I read the Miles series. I don’t remember the Thor issue. Need to check that out again.

U got the most popular Captain Carter

We do like are antique malls., I have one i go threw at least once a month. Just in case. :)

The prices at flea markets are getting worse and worse. I try to find the vendors when possible its either a education in value vs. Grade or a argument.

Nice grabs this video! If only a lot of those other books weren’t overpriced😭

$5-10 prices doesn’t seem to be to bad for some of the books. Not sure getting minor keys for $1 is realistic. I thought the vendor did a decent job with some of the prices. It is just me or is every KZfaqr wanting books for basically free so they can brag about the deal or resell to make a huge profit? I guess it’s all about bragging rights but what do I know.

Cool pick up my friend hey this weekend is the Huntsville AL comic expo are you still going to make it hope to see you

Mike, you heading to the Con in Jefferson, MA today?

Way overpriced

The Thor issue of the Miles Morales what if the book was just in poor taste, stereotypical, and poorly written.

You're a key collector

Miles Morales is Miles Morales... Peter Parker is spiderman

I went to Palmer a few weeks ago and had the same experience with prices, and not just the comics. Seems like everyone is asking way too much for junk they don’t want in their houses.
