Now that I've had an antique shop set up for a year, and have been doing claim sales even longer I wanted to rank comic book runs based on how easily and quickly they move! some are obvious but I guarantee theres some serious surprises in here.

    Green Lantern probably outperforms at your store because people know you are a Green Lantern guy, so you'll probably have what they are looking for.

    Uncanny was and is the must have for my generation. Especially the Claremont/ Byrne run. Same goes for George Perez’s TT on the DC side.

    James. Great video. I also sell out of an antique mall. 4 long boxes and about 6 short boxes and 2 short boxes. All unsorted. Do ok. I pretty much agree with what you say. Have not had much luck with $1 box but going to try again. A couple other things that do well that you didn’t mention are horror. War, war and weird things. Also comic related magazine horror titles sell well. And of course keys which u did mention. Keys keys keys. Certain artists sell well. Dave Steven’s. Bernie Wrigtson. Ditko. Strange. Etc. thanks for your content. Jess
  • Cool to hear wants hot and want is cold. I have to say MOKF run from the 70s is such an underrated run! Great writing and fantastic artwork. So surprised nobody is searching for that title but it is well worth collecting!

    Cool to see what moves and doesn't move for you and in your area. I know this list is definitely different for each and every person who sells comics, but, nice to get an idea. I myself am in AZ, Spider-Man, Hulk & She-Hulk, X-Men & Fantastic Four (Byrne run) do well for me as well as many Independant publishers from the late 80's & early 90's. Anything 'Bad girl or Good girl' always moves as well, later Spawn issues (anything past #300) do quite well also. The Howard The Duck title really isn't surprising to me as I have always done quite well with certain issues (mainly #12 & 13). Thanks again for the great content James!

    Interesting. I found that enlightening and I appreciate your chart showing various tiers. As a Marvel Silver age OG, I have interest in some filler book of FF and you've got a 30% discount on them so, while I've not been to your store, I may just find myself driving in that direction this coming February. Thanks for posting.
  • I need to plan a trip over there! We don’t have shops over here with dollar comics! I’m jealous.😅

    Great video, I loved the topic of this video. Good to know that the Comics that I am interested in sell the best, Star Wars, Ghost Rider. Keep up the good work. 😎

    Great video. Liked the mesh of a discussion mixed with creating a tier list. As for How the Duck, there might be several reasons behind his popularity. There is a low issue count, speculation of him coming to the MCU, and nostalgia. People that are fans of his movie are most likely in their 40s now and might be hit with the nostalgia bug and have some disposable income to use to collect his entire series since the issue count is small.

    Wow, I never would have guessed that lineup of sales! Some to me were no brainers (Star Wars), but some were quite surprising. You really put out some of the most entertaining and informative videos on comics that Ive found. Thanks for putting out such high quality content James! 🤘🏼

    Howard the Duck was my favorite as a kid in the 70s. Have the full run, including all his earlier appearances. Man-Thing is a close second to me. For me nostalgia is the true appeal.
