Welcome to the official home of Regie Collects Comics on YouTube! 💯

If you are new to comics, newly returning to comics, or are a long-term collector, there is something here for you. My channel is a mixture of comic book hauls, CGC unboxings, and practical advice that is designed to make us ALL smarter about comic book collecting.

➡️ I don’t tell you what to think but I do give you a few things to think about. We look at the grail comics, “hidden gems” that might in a long box at the local comic shop and must-haves for any comic fan’s collection. We also tap into the larger knowledge base of the comic book community during frequent live streams were we interview collectors that have been in the hobby for a few months to a few decades.

There are very few places on the internet (or elsewhere) where tons of quality comic book information is gathered in one place.
➡️ This channel is one of those places. So, get ready to expand your comic book mind (and your collection) and start enjoying comic books more than you ever had before!

I'm a collector. Not a Seller so I buy nothing just to turn a profit. I have a few Graded comic and just because I enjoy the comic and want to display. Another reason is I find it frustrating that many dealers want to sell nice raw comics for graded prices so if I want the book, why not get a graded one. Either way I guess it's what you are comfortable with.

[kevinsolie]

People just need to ctfd. If comic investing is your retirement plan then you may want to reconsider. Collect what makes you happy.

Those who refuse to go forward will simply rediscover why we went forward in the first place. Prior to grading there were thousands of books with hidden restoration. It was commonplace in the 70s to color touch and trim books as the prices for comics were not really that big a deal back then. Pricing now is a serious issue, with books into 7 figures. We need grading.

When i saw the title i am like anyone who knows Regie, knows he doesn't make decisions on the heart, but on the mind. Decisions based on feelings and emotions rather than facts leads to disaster. What one chooses to do is ultimately up to each individual person. The key is to make decisions that dont lead to regret. And emotion based decisions tend to lead to more regret than calculated fact based decisions

[jhota]

I have several CGC books that I will probably have CBCS regrade someday, but it's all books that were encapsulated before pressing was a thing. That's the only reason I can see to do it.

[jeffschmitt]

I believe people should submit more to CBCS as CGC needs to have great competition. Too long have you paid a la cart for every little thing with CGC.

[markandrews]

Regie, rational thought about a counterfeit scandal??? Nah...I HEARD that there are some counterfeit $10.00 bills out there so I REFUSE to take $10.00 bills in change or from a bank ever again...that seems rational to me...🙄🙄

[robertgarrett]

I send my books into CGC for a few reasons. I like getting signatures. I want to know the grade. And I want to protect the book. My last two books I sent were obviously in poor condition. But one was Fantastic Four #48 and the other was Brave and the Bold #28. I didn't want them to deteriorate any further.

[thisiswes]

The graded comic book market is fine... out of the millions of graded collectibles that have passed through CGCs hands it should have simply been expected that there is fraud and issues within their process AS IN ANY BUSINESS. No business is 100% efficient. I've been a controller and accountant for years and built processes handling tens of millions of dollars and things slip through the cracks, it's inevitable even if your system is 100% automated let alone reliant purely on direct labour. I agree with you Regie that the best thing that can happen from this is CGC's processes simply become better, they provide a better service, and enhancing competition. Maybe the community stops arbitrarily devaluing CBCS 9.8 slabs? Anyway CGC will make improvements and the graded comic industry will only be more robust. Thanks again for being a calm voice amongst the hysteria ^_^

[markmmm]

@RegieCollects C'mon Regie, I've been getting insane deals on CGC slabs the last two weeks! You speaking reason to the masses is going to hurt my wallet! 😂

[JJNM]

People will keep buying graded comics as long as there is money to be made. CGC and CBCS can keep making mistakes over and over and people will still buy graded comics.

[ricbeau]

Now I am a seller so if I want the most out of my slabs books, I will go with CGC.

[chrisbigger]

SNAP CRACKLE AND POP LOOK AT THAT WALL🔥 Chris Bigger approved 👊🏻

[wegotissues]

Man, good choice. Im keeping my books as they are also. But I will be more cautious ⚠️ about the seller. Great video ❤❤❤❤

[clevegachet]

The scam came from people showing others how to break open cgc holders for resubmission. You Tube should take down those post's...

[jcali]

To each his or her own 👏🏽 well said Regie 💯

[MrComics]

I vote for a CGC controversy wall. Every book you have graded that’s on the CGC list displayed on the wall lol

[donsolo]

Cracking out your CGC comics and submitting them to CBCS is the height of idiocy. Deep breath, everyone.

[xaxflix]

So, I collect but I’ve never graded anything because of my location (Trinidad) and it’s just way too expensive for me shipping wise… when I make a trip for my first comic con I’ll bring some up and see what I can get done… that said, CGC or CBCS? More research required…I might just repack the collection in Mylites 4, who knows? Any suggestions?

[JesterJAC]

Brother, that's a good looking wall!
