I’m all for doing what you love, but spending that much on something you probably won’t touch or read is really out of touch in a world where so many of us can’t afford to live :/

Oh dear. The grading industry is essentially a scam; it’s arbitrary, the perceived value is up to the grader, and you will never make as much on a sale as someone spouting speculative b.s. will have you believe. Good luck to you if it’s something you’ve already “invested” in though. 🙂

I sympathize there needs to be a universal way to grade comic books, but putting them in a slab thus making them into a 2d object where the pages can’t be enjoyed, just makes me sad. Why are the contents even relative if one can’t appreciate it. How does the purchaser know the pages exist? May as well “preserve” comic books in a resin mold if it can never be enjoyed as a book again but as a tangible non-fungible token.

Pathetic people have that kind of money, and think a Pokemon card should cost in the millions, you are RUINING THE FUN OF THE GAME!
Meanwhile families like mine (only 4 of us) struggle to get basic needs, like food, toilet paper, hand soap, etc. And no, we don’t go to Walmart unless it something Aldi’s or Dollar General/Dollar Tree doesn’t have.
Also, I’ve an original Pocket Monster card. I don’t even care how much it’s worth, it’s a piece of paper with ink stuff on it. I keep it because of a good memory.

Shame on Wired for uncritically trotting out this grading shill. Grading is a scam – think about it, you’re getting some random company made up of random people to arbitrarily decide what quality something is. It’s absurd. And the more people pay top dollar for high-grdaed items, to more undserved credibility this lends the grading companies, it’s a vicious cycle.

10:52 well no, if you ever went to theaters back in the day you should know this
movie theaters didn’t screen VHS tapes! well known ones got high grade reel copies and lesser theaters got lower grade copies. and both of these were miles ahead of VHS tapes in terms of quality
so unless you watched every movie on VHS, the muddy picture is not what you should remember

I think grades/pricing for comicbooks are sick & wrong. The book is only worth as much as you are willing
to spend. About 14yrs ago, I bought a G.I Joe #21. The front cover is beaten-up and the paper shows some
damage, but all the pages are there. The story hits the same homerun. I think I paid 3 or 4 dollars
for the issue. That’s all that any person’s collection needs.

This haul is such a celebration of creative joy. I love how you don’t just buy books — you curate them. You think about paper weight, whether it can handle watercolor or alcohol markers, what vibe you want (cozy Christmas, spooky cute, bold and easy), and how each medium will bring the pages to life. That kind of intentional creativity is inspiring.
What really stood out to me was that spark you described — seeing the colored examples and instantly wanting to grab your paints. That “I need to create right now” feeling is powerful. It’s the moment art stops being passive and becomes something personal.
That exact feeling is what inspired me to write my novel The Rhythm of Three Strings: An Island Blues Cigar Box Guitar Odyssey.
It’s not a coloring book, but it carries that same cozy, handmade, creative energy. It follows a young boy on a sunlit island who discovers a simple three-string cigar box guitar and slowly learns to build, play, and find his rhythm in life. It’s about creative courage, making imperfect attempts, learning through doing, and that quiet magic that happens when you decide to make something with your own hands.
If you love:
cozy seasonal vibes and comforting creative rituals
expressive, hands-on artistry
stories that feel warm, atmospheric, and immersive
that spark that makes you want to create immediately
I think you’d really connect with it.
Thank you for sharing your haul — it’s the kind of video that makes people want to open a fresh book, pick up their tools, and start. And that’s a beautiful thing. ✨

Dude you are trying too hard to pump up comic books. We can see what you are doing here in this YouTube video. Nobody cares about comics anymore.

Uh VHS tapes has a life span of couple decades at most, with some of these tapes being well older than some folks these days, I find it insane people would collect these today. Depending on the storage climate, how often the tapes were used (rewound, played etc) you are essentially just paying for packaging and the tapes likely lost its magnetic charge that held the feature film.

Stan Lee didnt invent the X-Men as a social commentary. He invented them because he got tired of explaining how heroes got their powers.

Logan Paul is a scam maybe not his collection but him as a person. Artificial influence inflation. Like WATA selling the mass produced Mario bros and pretending a $3 game is worth $2M the same game that sits on every game collector shelf. It’s all hype and market manipulation.

If you agree to sell something as an investment to a friend of your grading business simply to have a placeholder reference number for the future investment of similar items. It’s Literally artificially creating a market and scamming the community of future investors.
If you wanna start a grading company? Find a rich friend to publicize a “purchase” to then resell it as “one of a kind”

Everything in this video is so lame lmao. All those graded VHS tapes and toys will be in landfills or flea markets in 50 years.

Why would you put your dirty body into someone’s very expensive costume before shipping it to them?! That is terrible, and then to enthusiastically tell the internet about it. What a chunt.

You call something with ~47,000 PSA 10 copies “very rare, very tough to get”? And this is what you do for a living? Incredible!!

In a decade of chasing slabs, I’ve never _once_ met a single collector who uses Overstreet as a reliable pricing guide.
Don’t believe me? Try going to Vincent’s store and getting him to sell you ANY “Golden Age” book at Overstreet’s price.
(It’s akin to the legendary “Blue Book” for automobiles: everybody cites it but nobody seriously respects its accuracy.) 🤔

I don’t get it. They stole Nicolas Gage’s Action Comics 1, then they found it and bought it for 2 million? Does that fact that it was stolen means nothing?
