Congrats man! That book looks mighty fine! It's on my list too.. But I'm focused on Asm right now.. Close to completing my run #1-101

Bro! Check your commitment to the hobby! Can’t eat a comic? I eat newsstands for breakfast. Can’t sleep in a comic? I sleep in a bag, on a board and X-Men #14 is my comforter.

I had always been someone to up grade 1st and sell then lower grade 2nd . But in this current market that was becoming increasingly difficult to do. So I decided to flip the script and once I had found a grade that I wanted go ahead a sell the lower grade and use that money toward the nicer book. That allowed me to drop 10k in 1 wk (definitely not in my budget) and secure 4 higher grade personal grails. It felt really risky but worked out well.
Conversely, I've sold big keys in the past with the intent to up grade down the road and then they exploded and are currently out of my range.
Anyway, congrats on the new key and thanks for sharing!

Excellent score! I have my eye on it but I'm saving for my perfect Fantastic Four 48 to complete my Silver Surfer/Galactus/Heralds collection 🚀🚀🚀

Mid-grade or below is right up my alley for these expensive books!

[mikegonzalez]

Great video! I’m having fun picking up low grade silver age keys. It’s more affordable and I try to get ones that present well.

[nowherebound]

Great, simple advice, Swagg! Minimum grade/maximum price! That Iron Man 1 looks crisp! Congrats!

Very helpful video for a collector like myself who is on a tight budget.
I recently found an awesome and very inexpensive #1 Sabertooth, the books you mentioned are a tier or two above that and are titles I am/will bevpursuing.

One Grail I’d love to own is the amazing Spider-Man #1 two big key issues I own are Star Wars #42 and Star Wars #68 Both Newsstand editions

[MoviesNat]

You are so positive, upbeat, informative and helpful bro. I’ve done a deep dive into your videos. I’m just getting back into serious collecting. While it does bring me great joy and gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, I do want these books to be something I pass down to my kids. They’re a good investment and I’m glad I came across your channel. By the way, did you win an Emmy?

[ComicsWithBonics]

Love that approach on which books to move and which to keep! Great advice!

[schaupcomics]

Great advise and vid, just subbed you up. Congrats on the Ironman 1!! 👍

One book I’m proud to own is Star Wars #42 first appearance of Boba Fett newsstand edition and those are harder to find than the Direct edition it’s mid Grade or low Grade but it presents well and with the Book of Boba Fett coming out soon I’m probably Going to Get it Pressed and cleaned and Graded to keep it in nice condition

I have this Ironman #1, been collecting since 1975, I did stop in 97.
Started again in 2019, Johnathan Hickman's run on X-Men drew me in.
I may try your technique with Silver Surfer#4, a comic I once had.
I don't need a 9.8.

Very Nice, My Mother thru out my copy!!!!

[NoCoastComics]

Just found the channel - love the simple setup and the Marie Kondo viewpoint. I would like to get to that point!

[KeynoteComics]

Great book man and I agree with everything you were saying, . I love the face book pages and its always cool when I see people from other social media like IG and Youtube there.

[oliverortiz]

One of my grails. IRON MAN #1, very nice.

[joshuasky]

Got mine for $200 - it was a restored copy, but I thought it was a great deal and it looks good.

[robcook]

Marie kondo has really helped me be vigilant in decluttering my collection

[James-osku]

Good video and advice. Also a very nice display in the background . Just wondering if that's a custom DIY job or can you buy those particular display shelves ; they obviously complement comics perfectly. Subscribed !
