Gorgeous collection. My 3 favourite GA cover artists, Baker, LB Cole, Schomberg and you've convinced me on Rica. Oh man, those 3 covers next to each other. Perfection.
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
Thanks! The challenging part with Gus Rica is that he had way less covers than those other big artists and they are from runs that are pretty scarce (like Dynamic and Punch) so you’ve gotta keep your eyes open for them when they pop up.

Dude!! Love the Batman in your collection, I’ve got some Batman original art including a cover directly from the artist in the UK! I’m really proud to own it. Awesome collection, thanks for all your videos all these years 🤙🏴

Awesome collection! I learn more about golden age each time you go over your keepers and the tidbits about them. Thanks for the video!

Nice! Always enjoy your keeper list videos. Top 25. Sorta the same?! Congrats on the new pickups.
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
I think I’ve added 8 new books to the keeper list since the last one (and sold some off of it as well).

@@AutomaticComicsI did not realize how many Batman books you have. I do remember that Det 38 though. That’s still an impressive book. I also really like that Seven Seas issue. That’s one I’d like to have in the PC. But my goal still will always be the AF15. Kinda jealous of yours! Also I have said before and totally agree, the Punch 12 issue you have with the cover condition just adds more depth and character to that cover. It just fits perfectly. Happy collecting!

Lovely collection Ryan, fascinated why you picked 25 to keep as I'm considering coming down from 170 slabs too a smaller amount but focus on quality
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
Definitely not any firm rules to it. I kind of do it as a rough percentage of my total inventory. Basically what can I justify to myself not putting up for sale. Then as I get more expensive books, that total number I keep has to drop.

Man I don’t if I’d ever be able to give up the Black Cat 50 in a 9.0!!! But to each there own, amazing collection Ryan.
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
Thanks 👍. The reality is it would be harder for me to sell that Okajima than it was to sell that Black Cat 50.

Great video!! I'm glad u did a top 25. Top 10 would be over too quick for me. Love these. U know the top ten of this list is going to be good when u have a pedigree copy of the first appearance of the Red Hood as #9 😱. Congrats on achieving this level of collecting.🙏

It’s funny, I was thinking the same thing. I thought 10 would be too quick =)

Punch 12 is one of my favorite comics… it took me forever to even find the one I ended up with.. then I see like 4 in the same month! Lol.. think big sales cause liquidation of other copies. I just think these rare gold grails are so cool.
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
Yeah, that often happens and people make the mistake of thinking “oh, maybe this book is more common than I thought”, then one doesn’t come up again for like 2 years lol. Definitely got to go after them when you get the chance because when they get in that new collector’s hands it often doesn’t leave again for a long time.

Love the new top ten 👏 does this mean that the Okajima pedigree will be next on the chopping block since it is last on the 25?
@AutomaticComics3 ай бұрын
No, the keeper list doesn’t really work that way. I cut my chamber 19 and black cat 50 before I cut that one and those books are worth many times what the Okajima is worth.

Hey Ryan, you have awesome stuff. Anyway, I’m finally selling one of my big boys because you cannot take Comic Books to your grave.. I want to buy a dodge challenger that’s why I’m selling one of my great books.
