good to see you got my brother J Abraham in the building let’s get it that’s right um they always say modern Comics No Trash gelato now we’re going to be talking and it’s actually the reason why I’m even bringing this up uh while I was away there was a big shout out to CBR that’s why I put up a cbr’s logo uh cbr.com for anybody at this uh that’s never checked it out go and check it out always putting out some great articles shout out to them and shout out to them for today’s video because that’s that’s uh you know the reason why I’m talking about the harsh realities of buying well modern comic books I sort of like what they listed so they sort of helped me out with my homework here on this you guys have heard me talk about the you know just modern comic books and how they’re gamble nowadays in today’s day and age it’s not you know it’s not that that investment that people sort of look for we’re also going to be touching upon spawn 306 because that seems to be like the new Hot Topic right now I know my man Red Hood shout out to him he sent me something he was like bro this this is not looking good it’s not looking right So for anybody who doesn’t know about that stay tuned we’re going to talk about that as well uh let’s see who else we got um let me see aggressively relaxing he said I’m already mad what’s up hey man if you mad you’re gonna end up being happy later down the road so that’s that’s all it is 1K six not my stuff yo listen so let’s start right off the bat with this guys and of course shout out to cbr.com because cpr.com were the ones that actually dropped this article right here if you guys did not get a chance to read this we’re gonna go over what they say they’re 10 harsh realities of buying modern comic books so according to them they wrote a list I I sort of liked what I saw there’s some things I did not agree with but there is a majority of it that I did like of this in reference to Modern comic books so here to start off at number 10 guys we got the push for digital Comics we have been talking about this for quite some time now here on the channel about digital comics and how they have been training us for quite some time guys they have been embedding us into us to to learn how to appreciate and accept digital Comics this was the inevitable so according to CBR they say there’s a massive push to move toward digital Comics right now yes that is a fact that is a fact for people that do not see that hey man I don’t know what to tell you it’s cheaper for publishing companies you guys have heard me say this more environmentally friendly and easier for distribution again it’s all about money if it’s all gonna add up guys you know that that is what they want to do they want any that goes with any company they want a pocket as much money as possible so this of course great start off right here to this list that CBR put together there are benefits to sticking the digital but there are also many drawbacks for starters friends prefer being able to hold the physical copy of the comment they love in their hands I’m like that I love it have I started to get used to to doing the digital yeah I have I’m not gonna lie with you I was not a fan of it but I started to get used to it because it is a lot easier for me to go on you know on a digital comic website type in the comic that I want to look up for and voila it’s there done instead of me going through all of this right here that yes some of it is organized and maybe 30 of it and then the rest of it seventy percent of it is is a hot mess with every publisher you could think of so it is hard as hell for me to go in there and try to do my research so it is a lot easier to go down the digital route so going on from there they say what’s more digital comic book copies can be lost forever whereas there’s more certainty with a physical copy and I 100 agree with that I honestly think that yes physical copies can remain with you unless your mom told you hey you need to clean up that basement whatever your dad and next thing you know your account book collection is gone and that that might be the only way something might get trashed uh but nonetheless the the path to digital is moving ahead companies like Marvel have begun investing in digital exclusive Comics which essentially forced consumers to sign up for the Marvel unlimited app so that they don’t miss anything some of the best Indie comics of all time are lost through digital platforms as they are not prioritized above big companies so on that note 100 freaking percent agree now going on to number nine guys they said that good digital comic platforms are rare and as you guys want to know comixology which is pretty much the most the massive company uh and got bought out by Amazon that that thing sort of fell apart the way that they started organizing their their you know their media on there as far as digital Comics it went ass backwards I don’t know what the hell happened as far as that but good digital comic platforms are rare yeah there is a new digital platform I keep forgetting the name of it but they’re already up set up and everything to go and it looks like they’re doing and they’re being organized a lot better than what comixology started to go down so what the readers wish to use Comics to get a better grasp of another language love the medium or just obsessed with specific characters and worlds digital platforms do provide an easier route of access for people across the world the harsh reality is though that Publishers are failing to find sustainable digital routes to Market so again we go back to the you know to to the easiness of being able to get comic books the you know the the easiness of anybody around the world because even in the United States I hear a lot of you guys out there who will say hey bro the closest LCS to me is like 50 miles away that that is a hell of a drive I would not be able to do that every Wednesday I I already you know I’m already having a fit when I have to drive like maybe five miles and I’m like damn I don’t even want to do that so that that’s something to you know to also keep in mind uh Marvel and DC uh have uh used their own apps for users to download which gives them access to their whole catalog from over the years but with the decline of comixology no other platform has uh really risen to take its place yet it might be the future but right now I can’t quite maintain its footing as a point of change in the industry so another another little great uh pointer on the list right there and we move on to number eight which is graphic novels are slow to release so they’re talking about graphic novels being slow to release that is a freaking truth that is a truth unfortunately it does it feels like it takes an eternity for this stuff to drop so many readers prefer buying their comics in bulk essentially rather than waiting for each single release to come out fans wait a little longer and get a graphic novel yeah there’s people that are out there that are like that ever rather get the you know get the whole thing than to just keep waiting waiting waiting there’s some comic books like ultimate Invasion for example right now which I’m sort of on the fence somebody asked me earlier hey what do you think about ultimate Invasion it’s it’s Jonathan Hickman Jonathan Hickman always off to a slow start that that’s the way he just does his work his writing it’s always been something that that just resonates with him to be honest with you and for me to wait damn near I felt like yeah pretty much a month before the next issue came out that that’s a pain in the ass um and you guys remember also the uh the Watchman event that came out through DC how long did that damn thing take it was almost two years in order to complete so it’s like hey it’s it’s taking quite some damn time and they’re really to be honest with you right now as far as graphic novels graphic novels are not being prioritized they’re not being prioritized that that is something that is is being seen across if I go to an LCS I’ll ask him hey do you had a graphic novel to this and to be like no they haven’t even done anything there’s nothing being mentioned via Diamond there’s nothing be uh being mentioned uh via penguin random house so on and so forth so a lot of this stuff yeah it’s taking a long ass time so the these are some of the you know so some of the the Nays with buying modern comic books nowadays you’re not seeing how back in the days you know if you were you know in the 80s collecting you were in the 90s collecting graphic novels or dropping like one after the other after the other it’s a complete different story now so going on from that number seven Marvel and DC dominate the industry that yeah I think everybody everybody and anybody out there would know this the big two this is why I call them the big two the big two forever and ever have have just held on to the Reigns of comic books so as much as you would love to see the Indie comic book company come out on top it just does not happen they might have a couple of bangers here and there where they might make more sales than a Superman book or a Thor book or whatever the case but in the long run this is what happens there are so many Fantastic Indie Comics out there that subvert expectations and take the Raiders on a stunning narrative Journey but those Indie Comics are often left behind because two companies dominate the industry Marvel in DC will get the majority of the focus on major platforms although comic book stores are trying to push readers toward alternative companies it’s fair to say that the industry isn’t in the place that it once was Dark Horse image boom Studios For example were major competitors during some periods of course we all know boom Studios boom Studios came out with a massive massive storyline called something is killing the children and for those that collect you already know what time it is with that book so there’s still hope that the industry will evolve again as more people discover smaller creators and perhaps digital platforms like webtoon will make a genuine difference for now unfortunately DC and Marvel are still the top dogs despite the healthiness of diversification and yo big shout out to everybody still joining in here on the live EPT Cyclone again guys if you’re catching this on a rewind make sure to leave a comment let me know what you guys think about today’s episode we are going to be talking about some more topics here so definitely stay tuned we got apt cyclone in the building we got Marcelo munier what’s going on Marcelo saying do you think digital Comics will bring higher value of print comics in the future I 100 do I 100 do I think that physical Comics will become a hot commodity because you will no longer be receiving them and the only way you will see digital medium being printed out is when they go the graphic novel route if they find some sort of success here’s the thing with this on the digital end of things if they’re not successful you’re not losing a lot versus printed material if you go and print do all these things they’re losing a ton of money how much money are they really generating from Comic Book Sales we got to look into that as well I mean if you look at how much you know a retailer gets you know percentage off from there there you know as far as cost for them buying these comics in order for them to sell it to the public yeah you’re looking at a 50 discount so out of that 50 you got to go into you know this is one of the major reasons why you see a lot of these comic companies like Marvel and DC pushing these high ratio incentives pushing out these high ratio variants and one in one thousands one in five thousands going crazy that’s the reason why because they want to push out as much as they can in order for them to see their gains just pretty much going up and as long as their capital gains are up there they’re perfectly fine but for them it’ll be cheaper to go down the digital route and make sure that yeah there’s going to be absolutely no losses for them if a digital comic book is something that’s creating a stir around the common Community what’s gonna happen happen they’re just gonna take it and say hey let’s go ahead and we are going to put a graphic novel out for this so graphic novels eventually will be another thing for a lot of people that might think that like hey you know like like all these grading platforms such as cgc cbcs they won’t have nothing to grade no absolutely not we’ve talked about Manga Here on the channel I think that that’s going to be the next wave and then of course you’re going to start seeing graphic novels being like the next big thing because that is going to be the only physical format for Modern Age Comics that is going to be available um I Don’t Like Comics what’s going on my brother said hey muchacho que basa what’s going on nice to see you bro Canada here for you say hi to 75 I think 75 is in the chat man shout out to you aggressively relaxed and said this is the yeah digital takes over this is it I know I said that last year but listen it’s happening for real now hey why is everyone walking away very well said man very well said I have nothing to disagree with you on this because I’ve been saying this for the past two years now just by looking and just pretty much gauging how everything is going it’s not going to be an overnight turn it’s it never was meant to be they’re gonna try to pretty much push out everything they possibly can for right now in order to make that transition once the transition is made then it’s a wrap after that uh Theory said any word on digital nft covers how they doing they’re not doing too well not doing too well people still buying them in hopes that the nft market starts to go up again who knows it’s this is a crazy world this is a crazy world look look at sports cards look at comic books you guys remember comic books in the 90s comic books in the 90s were like so we’re sports cards and then look look at all this I mean I mean you remember when you could get Pokemon cards you would pay 10 bucks for like a Charizard Hollow and now look at that damn thing it’s like a million dollars so who knows people are probably relying on the fact that hey this could eventually turn into something I’d rather buy it on the low than to be paying thousands or even millions of dollars later down the road so you never know because remember this too everything is always running off of computers your phones so on and so forth everything is digital so to purchase an nft in my personal opinion wouldn’t hurt you if you’re getting it for the right price and then possibly just holding on to it for future purposes you never know oh again these are old gambles I cannot call them Investments Hawaiian punch in the building and say yo why is people wearing knockoff shoes something to choke on Vienna sausages bars pause oh man Hawaiian punch in the building I don’t know why people were knocking Hey listen man I got I got my knock off uh Yeezy flip-flops that’s what I call them but them things are comfortable as hell yo I got them off that app Teemo those are probably the best things my wife bought me the most comfortable damn things that probably cost two dollars and I don’t care pop sequentialism in the building said while the overhead course of digital Comics are inherently less The Profit protection is non-existent very freaking true very true shout out to my man the 75 percenter right there pop sequentialism AKA Matt Kennedy shout out to him Caesar Castillo in the building said yo there’s nothing like some savagery to finish my overtime at work that’s what’s up man I’m glad I can help Kenny the common collected with the millions of physical Comics out there being able to buy trade back issues will continue people will continue to want physical Comics uh copies as much as possible you can’t lose access exactly and this is the reason why I said you look at a lot of these brick and mortars who have recently started up a lot of these brick and mortars are fading away the only major survivors are pretty much the stores that have been around for quite some time and the ones that have a major major back issue uh just just freaking a crap tone of it available to their customers those are the ones that are going to survive that is the biggest thing but here’s the other bad side to this we’ve all seen as of lately you got whatnot you got all these you know drip shop live you got all these different platforms eBay live so on and so for everybody has become a retailer so the chances to be honest with you this is some this is another reason why you will probably see a lot of these shops fading away and everything will become online is because of that everybody has become a retailer so in order for you to even have product you gotta find somebody that’s willing to sell their collections right but if everybody’s becoming a retailer and they’re saying like hey I’m making some profit I’m making some good money off of this you will not see that it’s the same thing with the hunt ever since key collected Comics I don’t knock the app it has many great values to it but at the same time has caused a shitstorm when they call it when it comes to key comic books there’s I mean there’s modern day keys right now there’s Keys freaking every single week but one of the biggest things with it that came along was yes when you go on the hunt for things things are like rarely existing ask anybody in New York City and I will guarantee you don’t ever in your life go to New York City to hunt for anything because there’s absolutely nothing for you to hunt for that’s how tough it is in New York trust me I go there that’s where I’ve you know born raised everything I’ve lived there my whole damn life and every time that I go back and I go to Just hunt for anything that is absolutely nothing it is dry and anybody out there in New York man that lets that tells me otherwise yo kudos to you then you might have might have found a hot spot or you found some dude at a flea market somewhere out there and you were freaking got lucky and was like okay this person’s selling that’s the only time I’ve ever found comic books like for me on Steinway Street in Astoria Queens you go out there sometimes you got you get lucky I’ve gotten lucky with whether there’s a dude that’s like hey I’m just selling comic books I don’t want them I’ve had them for years and they they’re just out there set up a table able and start selling and that’s where I bought from but as far as anything else it is a freaking impossibility and the same thing is is uh gonna happen with brick and mortar shops brick and mortar shops are just dropping they just keep dropping and unfortunately uh the latest one that I just recently saw and I hate seeing this for anybody because these are livelihoods for a lot of people was uh I just recently saw a post from hive Comics uh have comic stages recently said they’re shutting their doors down and I was just like damn couldn’t believe it uh sad news you know I’m sorry to hear that for them but at the same time it’s like you start to see it’s not just them I see a lot of other shops some shops that you don’t get recognition because you don’t see them that often or you don’t hear about them being promoted and things like that those are shops that yeah they’ve closed the doors down they’ve closed their doors down like the one you know like Royal collectibles in the story of Queens man shout out to them people small little shop was mad dope but guess what people weren’t doing people had pull boxes and people weren’t coming in and picking up this stuff because once again what happens people start getting into the whatnot thing people start getting into everything everybody’s like oh my God they go crazy they love it they love that interaction with somebody selling them something live and that’s one of the reasons why those platforms are becoming big and more retailers you’re finding that are creating themselves on their own the worse it’s getting for any shops out there to be able to find anything because nobody has anything anymore there’s nothing to bring to the table so it’s gonna be a definite big fight it’s going to be freaking a doggy dog world when it comes to comic books as time progresses because ain’t nobody gonna have that freaking Surplus like some of these major stores out there this is why sometimes you see Midtown Comics Mile High even though I freaking can’t stand them got the freaking huge collection they’re still charging out the ass so many of these major retailers right they’re surviving because they’re huge they have freaking Surplus and surplus and they just keep taking over like I know Midtown Comics ended up buying a shop out in Brooklyn I think it was and took up all their stuff so look at it just look at it that way if you’re a mega store when it comes to comic books you’re more than likely to survive versus the smallest shops which in all honesty I wouldn’t even turn out to be a brick and mortar I’d rather just be an online shop so it just all depends on that but yes all this stuff is definitely definitely just yeah it’s it’s killing people it’s killing people as much as you want to see people be successful in it I I just don’t see the success in it I I see it dwindling bit by bit uh Kingdom nerds in the building man make sure to subscribe to this man’s channel right there my man Bruce Kingdom of nerds brand new channel go and check them out got some good content on there shout out to him uh pop sequentialism said if all those graphic novels were being produced as manga sized books they’d be exactly and this is the crap that boggles my mind I ask myself I ask myself and I even said it last time look at something that I picked up so you know that they are on the radar DC and Marvel they’re already getting into the manga end of things because they see how Dynamic manga is becoming um so I 100 agree and I don’t understand how the hell Dark Horse produces only one percent of manga and it is literally 66 percent of the sales which for me is like bro go and get yourself some other rights to to you know to some other you know uh animes or whatever and I stop freaking pumping out that manga Um Kingdom of nurse said the problem with Andy’s it can take months for the next issue to come and that too man and it seeming to be something very common nowadays with a lot of modern comic books we got my man Sinister Titan what’s up listening while at work yo I appreciate it my brother we got my man Vinnie Whitlock got Kirby Carpenter in the building what is going on Kirby good to see you Manny the comment collected my man he’s in the building uh Carlo said I think there’s gonna be a Shonen Jump type thing for con yes yes yes yes you are definitely gonna see they’re dipping their toes in manga then they’re not going to be stupid man uh g-o-g-05 in the building said first time I’m seeing the name I’m digging this though got Squirt on there with the sunglasses said manga is super big in the U.S I work shows at Fan Expo and Anime is the biggest thing there is rarely see anyone cosplay DC or yo facts facts facts facts the latest Anime Expo people were complaining how packed that thing was that you couldn’t even walk and there were so many people that it was so damn hot even when I was watching the videos of these anime cons uh anime Expos you seeing people with books Fanning themselves with you know with the programs for the Anime Expo because that is how hot it gets in there with all those human beings in there and you never know you might have some aliens or some some lizard people in there you don’t you just don’t know that but all the jokes aside William Medina in the building said uh why would comic stores order trades on books that was digital since they had never had the physical to sell that is a bigger risk on them especially if the story sucks and yeah dude that’s true but here’s the biggest thing are these comic book shops gonna exist again this is where these big major companies these big stores are gonna take over and this is where you’re going to start seeing remember books a million books a million stop dabbling in comic books and now they got back into it again so it just goes to show you they might be preparing themselves for something that we don’t know the people that are outside of the industry the folks that are on the Insiders especially these bigger companies they start to figure out like Hey we’re going digital so expect like graphic novels this is me hypothetically speaking folks for right now but in all honesty for myself I honestly I’m starting to see this trend going and this is one of the reasons why I Believe Books A Million started to get back into comedy they had that damn uh spawn Batman book that had come out they hadn’t uh and that book was selling and when people started to find out that they were selling the dambo did so to be honest with you yeah this this is to be you know in all honesty this is just going to be the demise of the of the smaller businesses I I hate saying this and because it’s like you want to have the best you know look out in the future you know the future look out should I say and to to sit here for me I I hate seeing that man like I said the latest one I just saw was Hive Comics you know shout out to them that they keep their heads up and keep doing what they need to do but yeah it sucks it sucks to see people losing their businesses because of something I don’t know I’m not going to talk about half Comics because I honestly don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors with them and as to why they had to shut down but yeah you know things things business is not going the same and comic book sales are not great folks might all sit out there and be like oh no it’s it’s still going it’s no it’s not if you see it in one shop and it’s being dynamic as whatever that’s like me going to Midtown Comics and seeing a [ __ ] ton of people at Midtown buying comic books and I’m gonna think in my mind oh my God but then go to your other shops out there go and see I’ll talk to the shop owners I’ll say hey I was you know how’s your sales on comic books and a lot of these guys just look like like they just giving up a lot of them are like man it’s like man it’s bad look look at my shelves my shelves are full people ask for these things some people don’t even come in to get them this is one of the reasons why I don’t pre-order books because I don’t want to get into that pre-order habit if the comics Bookshop has it I’ll pick it up if they don’t I’m honestly I’m not going to sit there and cry about it or get upset might there be something that I’ll pre-order yeah there’s been times where I’ll pre-order something on eBay and be like [ __ ] it even though I hate that whole pre-order [ __ ] but I just go on there I’m like yo this [ __ ] looks dope I’m digging the cover and you know when I read the summary on it and it has something where they say hey this might involve a new character I’ll pick it up I’m like whatever I’d rather pick cover price and then it becomes something crazy same thing happened when Black Panther 3 came out not even shops new that’s something was going to happen I just happen to be smart enough to say you know what let me pick up three freaking copies that’s all I picked up of the a cover and then I called it a day and and that was it and and then look what happened it turned out to be one of this major thing same thing with the you know I really can’t say the same same thing with Spider-Man you know with spider boy because dance slot was announcing Spider-Boy so that thing was ordered out the ass so it doesn’t fall under the same tier to be honest with you as that uh let me keep going through here comics and culture event Hollywood tea don’t hurt them your Jordan collection yo let me tell you man I I don’t even know uh sneakers sneakers is like on the same boat I have my Jordans but not everything I I don’t like every Jordan that comes out that’s why I say you had the hype beasts out there pushing out the ugliest damn sneakers on Earth and people just going out there and buying them same thing happens in Comics comic books everybody gets that oh my God that’s gonna be the greatest thing ever and then everybody in the mother’s going after it and boom voila next thing you know you start up a new hype so that that’s how it is with uh sneakers uh Kingdom nurse says stores that keep pushing exclusives aren’t going to survive the store exclusive is going to have a lot of cash yo I’m gonna I’m gonna be 100 on board with you bro nah you know that store exclusive stuff is dying it is dying and I think it’s affecting a lot of people it is affecting a lot of people um again the ones that that are affected the most are the ones with brick and mortars the ones that that sort of like probably might be losing some money are the ones that are you know that are online online retailers but for the most part on yes that exclusive crap is is going down the drain quickly and you’re starting to see again I just talked about it not too long ago you’re starting to find again shout out shout out to Wayne Stark who hit me up and he oh by the way for anybody that doesn’t know you guys can go on fivebelow.com I guess I don’t know what five below’s uh website is but if you go on Five Below you can actually find the comic packs with that have convention exclusives inside these damn comic packs for DC you could buy them online so shout out to win stalk man Wayne Stark has been hitting me with a lot of a lot of info so I appreciate you my brother um geogo said the day my LCS closes is gonna be a Sad Dog Day man yo listen it’s awful yo I don’t even like to hear even if it’s a store that I don’t like I I don’t want to hear it for anybody because I know in the end these folks got families these folks got you know mouths to feed I I get it but at the same time yo listen I I you know I don’t wish bad upon anybody but the way that you do business the way that you like to do things that’s gonna be your demise that is going to be your demise you might see that quick dollar that’s not what it’s about that’s what I I don’t think people get the message is that making that quick dollar that’s that’s not it’s all about guys is building a rapport building a relationship with your customers so that your customers keep on coming back and they say you know what this person is really down to earth they give me great deals that’s what kept me going back to my man Dave back in Virginia good dude man every time he would look out for me he’d be like yeah you know what this freaking comic was going for 50 on eBay ah yo you could have for 35.

Hey I appreciate you man I’d rather buy it from you than go freaking on eBay than buy it from them and then have to pay shipping doing all the it’s like come on in all reality think about it take away what what freaking eBay takes away from these people and that’s literally what the damn book is probably you know going for for them around those 35 is what that freaking person that’s selling on eBay is making so that that’s how I look at it and I was like yo I’ve been to some shops where it’s like hey do you do you know they have a book up on the wall again this is all hypothetical [ __ ] hundred dollars go on eBay and I’m like yo these Jones have been selling for 50 and then you get the remark well then go on eBay I can’t peace call it a day who the [ __ ] works like that who the [ __ ] and you expect people to come back to you [ __ ] no nobody ain’t gonna come back to you people are gonna look at you ass backwards and everybody’s gonna be like what the hell out you know that’s the same face I made I’m like what I’m like I’m out peace I didn’t even buy the comic books I was in there to freaking that I actually found I was like [ __ ] that and I just walk out of there that’s that’s how it is so how you expect to create business and maintain business if you can’t even [ __ ] have good customer relations like it I mean it’s it’s common sense and and and again it always keeps happening man shout out to my man comics Market watching a building what’s up got scribble in the building said Nor Cal 2 maybe get lucky at flea market so North California north of California Northern Cali for anybody out there you’re starting to dry up I’m telling you it’s not the same anymore it’s not the same Manny Comic Collector says I’m lucky even with key collect that because people uh uh hold on because people to empty the back bins I was still able to find gems in the bit Yeah you got yo I’ve seen Manny I’ve seen Manny posting stuff on the hell yeah you’d be getting uh some good stuff Mighty comics and collectibles in the building said preach bro I appreciate it yo good to see you it’s been a minute pop sequentialism said the uh product buyers at BNN Target uh Walmart Best Buy Etc see that manga sells them so that’s what they’re bringing into they’re breaking exactly exactly and then this is why I told people the other day uh the the new Spider-Man uh what is uh red red something I forgot the name I have I don’t even know where the hell I have it I might even have it upstairs in my room uh because I’m you know I’m always reading on my damn bed but uh you you go there that to me is like the ideal place to go buy stuff is at Target to be honest with you when it comes to manga because they give you such a freaking big ass discount and then if you’ve got the red card you almost get like 30 off um but 20 off just normally they put a sticker on it call it a day and that’s it it’s a wrap and sure as hell I’m gonna go over there why the hell and then I I go online and I go on you know on eBay and I’m seeing these mangas being sold like full price or even sometimes double because it’s something that’s a hot item it’s a high commodity but if you guys are looking for Deadpool Samurai awesome [ __ ] story manga is available there at Target I’m not even getting paid by Target they have it they got the new Spider-Man I read whatever the hell is called I can’t remember but you go on there you’ll find them in and they’re freaking seven dollars yo seven dollars the the Spider-Man one is 11 I think it was when I remember paying for it because it’s like a 15 book because it’s a big ass book it’s a big ass book so definitely definitely be on the lookout for them joints man um Geo said yo I saw the video anime is [ __ ] San Diego Comic yo dude it’s even worse than San Diego Comic-Con I don’t even think San Diego Comic-Con even touches remotely what Anime Expo is doing right now it’s [ __ ] insane Kirby Carpenter said order print trade paperbacks of the future once a company have enough orders they print no more printing unsold trade pip and then that’s the other thing that’s the other way too thank you Kirby but this is a great way to go along with this if they’re telling you they could get you on that pre-order crap all the time like this I’m not a fan of that whole pre-order [ __ ] because it’s like them getting a free loan they know what they can make these things for they’re getting a free loan from you they don’t have to go to Banks to get loans anymore this is why I’m not a fan of hazlabs haslab charges you freaking ridiculous money for some of these things they sit on it for like a whole damn year before you even get it and then they’re just reinvesting that money and making more money that’s smart to be honest with you but for me I’m too smart for that crap so I don’t like getting into all that so now you get into this this might be another ideal route for them to go by just yeah you put in your pre-order you get it and then anything that has not been pre-ordered or you did not order that’s it it’s a wrap no more you don’t get nothing no trade paperbacks you call it a day and that’s all that you get so however it depends you might see a nice little scarcity on something if people aren’t you know they’re not pre-ordering on something and there you go another way to freaking keep money in their pocket it’s as a company got my man Nicholas culture in the building was popping man Marcelo saying didn’t Frankie’s Comics filed Bank yes they did yes they did they did I don’t know they still got a lot of stuff they got to deal with themselves um you know that that’s on them and they’re the you know the way they do business uh Kingdom of nurse says then you have bad idea doing gimmicky [ __ ] not being taken seriously they have the resources to be on par with bigger companies but they’d rather give out Donuts yeah that did listen that’s that’s their you know that that’s their thing that’s the way they like to do business I mean if it works for them it works for them I mean you know you end up seeing their comic books to include you know one of their books lately I think it was on the top 10 list coming in at number one I mean they might they must be doing something right over there right so we’ll see that whatever gimmicks they’re working with those gimmicks are working um Gen X comics in the building what’s going on man good to see you too uh come through my virtual account you know yo shout out to Gen X Comics that’s that’s what’s up you know that definitely definitely definitely I’ll

passed away down here many many years ago in the UK the family geek touch has gone so it’s rare finds or enthusiastic stuff uh staff at the shops make the difference yo again that’s that’s that’s a big thing yo I I personally don’t understand why people don’t want to build a freaking relationship with customers I don’t get it I don’t get it hey it is what it is to each their own you know like I said I’m a do things my way you folks out there people out you know outside of this realm this box right here they’re all gonna do their own thing as well so continuing on man uh William Medina said any update on Brian’s comic so I’m gonna talk about that here at the at the uh towards the very end man I only got one more thing to talk about after this wanna uh let me go ahead and finish this and we’ll definitely be getting into that uh I don’t like comic set thorough here in Canada manga is amazing Public Library School universities have manga Expo fan is super amazing five members of my familia collect and read my yeah I’m telling you it is going to be the new wave and as much as people might say like hey I don’t mess with that I’m telling you just pick up one manga read it check it out and then you can make your own decision and be like yo you know what it’s sad to say but this [ __ ] is better than what the hell’s been coming out in comic books uh so moving on from this guys again we’re talking about the harsh realities of buying modern comic book books a nice little list put together by cbr.com here’s another one that I freaking forever talk about right number six the screen has a massive impact so this is something that I don’t freaking agree with at all I this has forever bothered me to see that anything playing on a big screen seems to impact the movement on comic books I think again the you know just the comic itself the superhero itself The Nostalgia all that stuff should be the selling points it shouldn’t have to fall upon what a movie comes out and for example you end up seeing this Trio right here and now everybody’s going crazy buying the comic books up because they’re like oh my God they came out in this movie and now all of a sudden prices start going up everybody starts going insane because everybody wants to freaking get their hands on them and then what happens months later after the movie drops so does the damn book there is nothing holding any freaking weight right now whatsoever unless something is related to a movie when the movie comes out everybody goes wild and then boom nothing nothing nothing one of my favorite freaking Inhumans ever yo and yeah even their books right now with they’re not they’re not really selling for for anything great you know it’s it just goes to show you it just goes to show you just how crazy again the screen how crazy the screen has a massive impact in the comic book world and we all know it we all been through it up I’m guilty just as many of you are shouldn’t even say just as men as all of you out there we are all [ __ ] guilty of this [ __ ] we’ve all I got into it with you know with my speculation all that stuff it was fun I enjoyed it we were all wondering now you’re getting all the information about movies being poured out so speculation isn’t really that big of a thing no more um but yeah as far as this yeah you look at all the different projects coming out it definitely definitely is it’s starting to destroy destroy what’s happening with Comics to be honest with you um number five the comics Heyday is over so anyone who has experienced periods of time like the golden and silver ages of comics will know that there are ups and downs in the comic book industry the medium has gone through some absolute highs and some real lows but for buyers it’s clear that it’s no longer the Heyday for Comics perhaps there will come a time when Comics more popular getting fueled by long-term cinematic saturation which again I freaking can’t stand because it shouldn’t fall upon [ __ ] cinematic saturation uh with the industry shrinking in areas there are fewer opportunities for Indie Publishers to fill in those gaps ultimately there has to be some kind of growth again for competition to arise and for more common companies to get their much needed place in the spotlight fewer eyes on the product results in less interesting content and this is a big thing right because what do I talk about continuously I always talk about freaking writing and Comics writing and Comics is freaking less and less and less interesting every time I open up a damn comic book there is not really except for maybe one or two titles from the big two that is actually freaking something worthwhile and that is even few and far between that you come across because it’s almost like they know themselves like oh the impending Duma comic modern comic books is coming so we don’t have to work as hard we could just put out whatever and call it a day that that’s that’s what it sort of freaking tells me um here number four certain titles overload the comics Market I freaking agree on this all right Batman I love you freaking my favorite superhero hands down but Jesus Christ how many Batman titles are there there’s like a thousand I’m exaggerating I know I’m exaggerating but at the same time there is so many 10 titles Spider-Man Batman Superman freaking um Ghost Rider has most multiple titles right now which is freaking Insanity to me um Avengers you guys name it it’s just like every damn titular hero from DC and Marvel has multiple freaking comic books and it just doesn’t make sense because for me it’s like bro stick to one damn storyline and stick through it and maybe even if you had to then you won’t have to worry about doing tie-ins and all this [ __ ] keep that Universe singular keep it by itself and you might work on something great you might work on something impactful that’s going to resonate with a lot of us out there and you just don’t you just don’t they they continue to put out all this stuff here man so CPR said regardless of the incredible Supernatural epics fantasy hits or beloved all-female superhero teams most popular Niche concepts are pushed out of the way in favor of status quo so this is the part that I did not agree with with freaking CB online cause they were saying most popular Niche concepts are pushed out of the way in favor of that’s [ __ ] on this because all these female superhero teams again are being pushed out like crazy so they can’t even say that it’s not being done it is it’s being put out there just as much um and if they don’t do freaking singular titles pertaining to that Superhero team they actually do all again all these little Side Stories all these tie-ins to go ahead and push that together so yeah this right here I didn’t agree with uh some characters and titles simply get commissioned again and again regardless of the Innovation and the storytelling characters like Batman Spider-Man for example always have multiple titles running at the same time because because those characters sell and again every business where you know that your characters are gonna sell why wouldn’t you do that I mean you are going to do that but for me my biggest thing is these characters are gonna sell regardless so why not just keep it to a single title and you know and still make your money you guys are already raising the amount of what it costs to buy a comic book I mean look at look at Marvel look at DC DC is up at six dollars and Marvel’s already pushing the five starting in October so there you go the uh also the harsh reality is that other books get moved aside just to publish more of the same and then that’s my thing can’t complain about all these Supernatural epics you might be the one and only fan of this stuff and what does that mean what do what do I as a company get out of that absolutely nothing if you’re the only person buying it so what I’m producing all these comic books and you’re the one person that buys it so what am I making I’m losing money so why would you do that [ __ ] period that’s that’s the thing out of that so yeah on that one I was kind of like so number three it says no room for risks so with a shrinking audience a smaller market and two companies dominating the space there isn’t much room for risk taking comic book companies have to keep a hold of their audiences by giving them exactly what they love from Marvel and DC that means more big events and a continuous focus on the same roster characters genuinely ambitious storytelling that changes the status quo isn’t going to be as attractive to Publishers looking to meet their financial targets so they may they actually address that right here so if a concept doesn’t land with audiences it could mean game over first Studio luckily some smaller companies and create our own titles are still able to take risks and that’s where you’re starting to see the level of risk being going up is what these Creator owned they they you know a lot of these creators are just taking over their own IP they’re like the hell with Marvel the hell with DC I’m gonna create my own things I think that that’s the right way to go to be honest with you uh but yeah as far as that ah there you go they filled in the Gap right there talking about yeah they’re not going to meet their financial targets 100 freaking agree with that so but the whole risk thing listen there oh they’re they’re taking risks you see it more on the Indie side of things where they’re taking risks but here’s the problem in today’s day and age and today’s climate you really can’t take risks because here’s what happened with risk you’re risking on offending somebody and this is what companies don’t want to do they don’t want to offend anybody that’s that’s what that’s why you don’t see risk being taken they’re afraid to offend anybody so voila that’s the reason why risks are not being taken in the comic book industry um here’s another one that that sort of killed me right here number two not enough diversity so one of the harsh realities of buying Comics throughout most areas of industry is that there is a genuine lack of diversity in the material companies are beginning to move forward now with plans to ensure that the comics actually reflect their readership what’s perhaps more start for the consumer though is that there is even less diversity within the talent actually created in the comics so here’s my thing if somebody doesn’t have an interest in something why would you want them to come and do something and reference the comic books somebody doesn’t have an interesting Comics period why the [ __ ] would you want them in comic books to what to to write something that pertains to some some say group or whatever no why the hell would I freaking want that that means that person isn’t going to put in all their effort I want people that love doing this stuff I want people to actually freaking have a love for Comics to come out and write a story the biggest problem with this is no that has nothing to do with that that there’s less that there’s a ton of diversity there’s a ton of diversity within freaking creating Comics again there has been so many black and Latino Asian uh you know every walk of freaking life working on comic books so you can’t say that there’s a lack of freaking diversity all this coming from all walks of life writers coming from all walks of life can’t say that it just happens to be do they have that push to set to have something that will resonate with a lot of us again I didn’t fall in love with [ __ ] Batman because that dude is Latino or anything like that no he’s a white guy he’s a white guy are there things that I can relate with yes I can not on the whole billionaire aspects out of things no but there’s other things things that he does that yes you know he is the Vengeance he is the Knight he is Batman I relate with all that stuff because yes you I I’m against that whole Criminal activity and to you know freaking people taking advantage of others that’s how I feel so I relate to him on that part don’t need to be Hispanic for me to make it to make me like you the problem is that it’s like again what are you doing when you’re trying to appease people you might appease one or two people and how are you gonna freaking say well why didn’t my comic book sell in the hundred thousands because you only freaking made it for one or two people so how the hell can you say there’s no diversity when there’s diversity 24 [ __ ] seven this is diversity all over the place all right just because here’s my thing that I have problems with too if you see somebody that is white how do you know that person don’t come from another part of this world how do you know their background what are you just gonna assume that they’re white you know how many white people that they are across every freaking country people that speak Spanish my father for God’s sake because my mom is dark skin and my dad if you were to see my father my father looks like a white guy everybody in the neighborhood used to swear that my father was Italian yeah he was a white guy that’s that’s what it is but that is my biggest thing how do you how you can you can’t sit there and say that there’s no diversity there’s diversity over the damn time because people come from more walks of life that’s the problem the problem is nobody’s put now nobody wants to take the risk because nobody wants to [ __ ] offend nobody that’s the freaking biggest problem so can’t sit here and say this was one of the ones that I did not like from CBR was that there’s not enough diversity [ __ ] the problem is nobody wants to take a [ __ ] a risk on anything because everybody is afraid of cancellation so if you can’t take a risk on something how do you expect there to be more diversity diversity is all about risk you gotta risk take you gotta talk about things you got to share your culture in order for people to freaking know that’s like for me somebody said that I see who’s a white person and they tell me they’re from Argentina what am I going to say oh they’re not they’re not diverse enough listen they’re gonna give you their cultural background they’re going to give you their lingo the way they speak Spanish is completely different than the way I speak Spanish so we can’t sit there and say that the majority of things I mean George Perez Puerto Rican Puerto Rican you look at that and it’s like you can’t say that that hasn’t been they’ve been freaking all walks of life man all walks of life the whole gang over at Milestone why was Milestone not appreciated folks because there was nothing in these Milestone books that people were promoting during that time that was one of the biggest failures from that African part of the part of the uh freaking time in the freaking 90s when all that stuff was coming out Milestone Comics some of the greatest [ __ ] stories I would love to know how many people out there read Milestone comics from back then and I guarantee you even until this day nobody does a lot of people will not go ahead and tell me what I know about a static shock about Hardware about the blood syndicate nobody will be able to tell me because there’s a lot of people that yes it don’t matter if you read or you don’t it shouldn’t even [ __ ] matter because there’s people that collection for the art and then there’s people that be like oh I picked up static shock number one because I just heard they’re gonna make a movie it shouldn’t even [ __ ] matter at that point you pick up your [ __ ] that you want pick up what you like and that’s it plain and simple but at the same time it’s like nobody can say that there’s no diversity people want to complain about it but then at the same time they’ll be like well look X-Men was made because of diverse so how the hell can you say that there’s no damn diversity yo there’s yo it all happens to be too like yo what are these folks into not everybody is into freaking comic books not everybody is into this we are a small percentage when it comes to comic book collecting folks it is not yet we can all sit here and pretend that the whole world reads comic books they don’t they don’t so to go ahead and try to put diversity into these things it also all sits back on the fact that hey are there people from freaking different backgrounds different ethnic backgrounds that love comic books and that are willing to create a superhero you don’t find that that’s the reason why there’s not enough diversity and then the people here’s the thing and then the people that want to create something and create diversity they get backlash because they say oh you’re a white man you can’t speak about my life you can’t speak about things who the [ __ ] is to say that that white man didn’t go to somebody like myself or any of y’all out there ask you about your story ask you about your life and then they go and transition that [ __ ] to comic books that’s the damn biggest problem that’s the biggest freaking problem with that so they can never sit here and say there’s not enough diversity when you don’t even want somebody that’s from a different background or write something about a black character a Latino character an Asian kid your [ __ ] get mad about it so now all of a sudden it was like not enough diverse [ __ ] out of here there’s diversity all the damn time people problem is everybody gets canceled for [ __ ] saying anything or doing something that’s that’s the that’s the biggest [ __ ] issue I’ve seen so many people man the problem is not people getting into these freaking Industries because there’s a lot of people that are being given those chances there’s just people that feel they’re not good enough there’s people that like myself look at me can I come up with something yes but do I have enough confidence in myself to be able to write something that’s where my issue lies and then it also all depends on do I have the time at in my in my own freaking home my home life do I have the time with two little young ones with freaking with a wife with working with doing all these things in order to make sure that my family is financially intact can I go away from that in order to go on my writing on my writing journey I I at this moment I’m gonna be honest with y’all no no so this is this is my thing again there’s going forever be these complaints but for me you look at one of the greatest freaking diverse characters to have ever been creative right now and that is Miles Morales miles [ __ ] Morales and who did he get created by Brian Michael Bendis a white man so we we look at all of this and it’s like come on how the hell can we all sit there and say there’s no diversity problem is how many people from all diverse backgrounds want to actually get into comic books and do something and make a superhero you know what else causes a lot of a lot of this struggle too is families ourselves if my daughters were to grow up and tell me Daddy I want to be a comic book artist Daddy I want to write comic books and me as a parent I’ll start looking at them and be like no you’re not you’re not good enough for that what you think these kids are going to grow up like that’s another major problem you know how many you know how many [ __ ] people you know how many people I’ve seen I’ve known who have told they were drawing and drawing their asses off writing some creative stories in school doing all these things but if you ask them what discouraged them from ever getting to that point it was their own family members their own family that was telling them you shouldn’t do that you’re not gonna get anything out of it that that’s you don’t make money that way you know how many times I listen to people talking to me about my YouTube channel you know what’s the number one thing people ask me about my YouTube channel nobody asked me about yo like how you know why do you love comic books why do you like reading these things well I didn’t know nobody ever asked me that you know what people ask me and I’m not talking about y’all I’m talking about people in my in you know in my in my everyday life people the number one [ __ ] thing everybody asked me is like are you making any money off of this to help sustain your family that’s what I hear every day that’s what I hear but does that discourage me no I’m on a different mental freaking mindset man the only reason again why I don’t freaking write a comic book is yes because I can’t right now I don’t have that time I have to freaking take care of my little ones I have to freaking deal with my wife I have to do a lot of different things right now that will keep me away from them my little ones if they were older maybe I’d be like oh damn because now I know at least they can fend for themselves this is one of the craziest shits that I that I go freaking that I’ll tell you right now um Rami salami [ __ ] it with a name yo pause said possibly the whitest of thank you thank you Brian Michael Bend this man shout out to them shout out to that man because if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have no no freaking uh no Miles Morales we wouldn’t have no Miles Morales so this is the thing this is why you don’t see no more diversity if people want to talk about diversity within the industry is that it’s there look at one of the greats right there Jim Lee can’t say that what that’s not part of the diversity that’s yeah that’s that’s that’s freaking one of the the many that are out there there’s just people that we don’t know about because they haven’t made a household name for themselves Jim Lee being one of the biggest can’t we can’t we can’t freaking you know we can’t go ahead and say oh yeah oh yeah Jim Lee is not great he’s nobody there’s people that know Jim Lee left them left and right and that dude has forever forever been in comic books and he’s part of that diverse background biggest thing again is yes we in today’s day and age don’t allow don’t allow absolutely freaking anybody to want to write freaking any accounts of Life on behalf of us but again who does it take who are we going to wait for if nobody wants to do it if I gotta go and tell my life story to somebody to write it for me that’s what I’m gonna do and if it’s a white guy that has to write it for me then it’s so be it because that’s the only way I’m going to be able to share my story but that’s the thing nobody wants that everybody’s gonna see a freaking white name on an ethnic superheroes freaking comic book and everybody’s gonna be in [ __ ] uproar right now that’s why we don’t have that [ __ ] and that’s why for me this [ __ ] for me personally yeah I didn’t agree with this with CBR they do they have it the problem is who how many of us as kids have been discouraged from wanting to do this I’m one of them I’m one of the many I had some of my boys too that went to comic books same thing that parents would say to them ah you’re not going to do nothing with that that’s nothing that’s for children that’s for babies what’s gonna happen with that I get to this day how much money do you make on YouTube I’m not I’m not no [ __ ] million [ __ ] I wish I wish but I don’t make money like that here on on here I think I saw who was a sticky Goose shout out to Sticky Goose had me dying with his uh with one of his latest videos about how much money he makes on YouTube I’m [ __ ] I was cracking up man my man was like showing like a check for like 23 dollars I I was [ __ ] I was on the floor I was like bro I I know the feeling but that but still for me something is something you guys out there members of the channel I appreciate you wholeheartedly people that come on here savagery The Savage Army you guys hit that thumbs up I appreciate y’all like y’all have no [ __ ] idea because even that little bit if I make a 50 freaking check for the month guess what those fifty dollars go back to that fifty dollars goes towards my stream yard and whatever else that I gotta freaking pay my internet portion of my internet that for me is a w bro that for me that’s one little bit that I don’t have to worry about with two little ones see what I’m saying so that’s that’s my thing that’s why I don’t care what like if my mom and my dad are like yo you do this for nothing you do no I love this I love it if my channel grows it’s something cool man I’m perfectly fine and I’ll be a liar if I say I don’t want this channel to grow because of course I do I would love to do this 24 [ __ ] seven but it’s not the realities of Life folks and when it does happen I’m just gonna be grateful for it like I am right now this very moment um let me see um who else is here Albert Bales said don’t it’s on the X-Men Hellfire Gala 2023.

so I’m I’m trying to catch up on this Albert and one of the main reasons why I shout out to Philly born 21 Philly born has been like updating on this whole Hellfire Gala and it got me interested to see what’s going on so I’m catching up when I get caught up Albert I wanted my next lives I will I will let you know exactly how I feel because it seems like a lot of [ __ ] is happening as far as the Hellfire Gala so I’m definitely interesting uh pop sequentialism says uh there may be less diversity in talent but there’s also pronounced lack of talent and diversity very well said Matt very [ __ ] well said there is that that’s literally what it comes to too man it’s who’s writing this stuff that’s another one like who who’s who you know who’s who’s at the who’s at the reins of you know uh uh you know talent wise and then this is what happens you know it’s it’s like with spawn man Al Simmons a black man one of the greatest [ __ ] superheroes to have ever lived that was my very first [ __ ] comic book was spawn and how many people tend to forget that spawn was a black man because he got he got all burned up and everything and you see him hamburger face style and everything all that and that’s it that just goes to show you so they can’t say that there’s no diversity man there’s some great freaking characters but they just don’t freaking you either don’t have a good writer for them or when they do come out with a character it’s like hey look at look at Eric July shout out to Eric July man Isom dope dope ass [ __ ] serious I’ve been enjoying it it’s too dropping take I mean taking a long time but you know that that’s that’s what happens with that you know he he’s self he’s self-made he’s doing his own thing so shout out to every July he’s one of those people that are part of that diversity but again you can’t discount do I I hate when people use diversity and and and think that yo as long as your freaking melatonin is darker than every than anybody else that that’s what diversity no it’s [ __ ] not diversity is everything because we don’t know the walks of life of everybody we don’t know their backgrounds I have a lot of people I know this was the my my good fortunes of growing up in New York you get to have friends from all walks of life and this is why I’ve seen some people I’m like yo the other day one dude comes up to me on the Jersey Shore he starts talking to everybody and all of a sudden this dude looks like the whitest of white guys I’ve ever seen in my life and I was there with our neighbors in the motel and they invited me over there we’re like Hey we’re having a couple shots would you like I’m like ah whatever man I’m gonna you know I’m I’m getting away from the realities of life go and sit down this dude comes out drunk as [ __ ] my wife will tell you my wife had to like step back and this dude’s like yo what’s your name blah blah and I’m like oh what up what up and he’s just like he he starts going and then all of a sudden he starts talking to people and saying I’m there like huh and my man full-on freaking full-blooded Mexican that’s that’s where he’s from and I would have never thought that I would have looked at him and I’m like yo oh um this dude was like dead ass and he’s like yeah nobody ever believe I was like oh there you go man props to you props to you it’s like my wife Dominican look at her everybody is swear she’s a freaking white girl she’s from Dominican Republic and that’s it and that’s the same thing we go to the Dominican restaurant we’re sitting in Dominican Restaurant over there in freaking Wildwood New Jersey and the girl even the woman there was like it’s just like man I swear to God I would have thought you were Puerto Rican she’s like you do not look Dominican and I was like exactly my point my point just never know Kenny the common collector says they are full of it about the lack of diversity crap the X-Men characters were diverse from the start thank you Kenny even though I got to this comment late even though I addressed it I please thank you man at least at least you realize it brother Joe said there’s no diversity in talent but there is a opportunity very [ __ ] well said brother Joe I appreciate you for that I appreciate you for that that is [ __ ] on point man at its own point send this to Ty you said the problem is them changing characters fans grew up loving for the sake of diversity instead of creating new original diverse characters it’s lazy and insulting in my yo I’m not mad at this sentence I like what you said yeah and that’s and that’s a big [ __ ] problem in my books bro I’ve said this and I say it again I’m not a fan of that [ __ ] that [ __ ] to me is a slap in the face I forever have said that it’s a slap in the damn face to me that they do [ __ ] like that a man Apollo Crews yo I see you out there getting them belts bro you know that’s why I haven’t seen you in a minute what’s up man shout out my man Apollo Crews he said Comics are still Niche there’s like more people in the world read mongers full of blonde hair characters baby and yo and then that’s the funny part for some odd reason in mangas nobody ever complains about diversity see when I’m trying to get it this is why I’ve been falling in love with mangas nobody ever complains about diversity you have every [ __ ] Walk of Life in in [ __ ] anime mangas you have them all nobody ever complains about them you wanna know why because again nobody is pushing it into your damn face nobody’s pushing it you see all these characters from everything to include groups that people want to complain and say oh my God they’re all about the agendas all this and that that’s all ended does anybody complain about it no why because nobody pushes it into your face meanwhile on the comic book side of things again because they’re afraid of risk because they’re afraid of backlash they’re afraid of cancellation all that [ __ ] is what these companies worry about so they start doing all this dumb [ __ ] that yeah it doesn’t really resonate with a lot of us and then they wonder why the [ __ ] comic books are selling like [ __ ] and then they also wonder why mangas are selling through the [ __ ] roof that’s that’s a big [ __ ] thing to take out of this man send it to uh send us the Titan said I’m native and would love to see red wolf or Warpath in the MCU but it would bother me if they all of a sudden made Wolverine native I want to see a full-blown native hero like red wolf and then that’s the biggest thing just trying to appease to everybody and trying to give people what they want for me is to slap in the [ __ ] face I don’t want to see that that whole gender swapping the whole [ __ ] you know uh uh you know ethnicity swapping all that stuff you know race Swap all that can’t I can’t stand it I I [ __ ] again it’s it’s a [ __ ] slap in the face because a lot of them will look at two and they’ll say well you know for me personally I say it’s like yo what what are these diverse characters that you originally came out with they’re not good enough that’s that’s how I look at it they’re not good enough and a lot of these characters are legendary man a legendary I can’t wait for static to come out I can’t wait for freaking the likes of blue Marvel Adam Brashear can’t wait for those freaking characters to come out and make it on the big screen because they have a [ __ ] ton of potential off the hook collectibles in the building what’s going on man good to see you Louis olivo said as college basketball and football fun other Minor Sports the big Marvel DC titles need to allow for smaller titles they do they do don’t get me wrong Louis because you do you need you need to you need to have something new man you need to you need to bring a new flavor to you can’t you can’t just be eating vanilla and chocolate all the damn time you know what I mean I and trust me I get that 100 I appreciate that uh Wayne Stark says he’s he says at Five Below and they sell exclusive yes they do yup thank you man y’all I forget about that too Five Below is another good place to go buy manga and they do they do have uh manga exclusives to uh Five Below the only thing I hate is those damn stickers yo because I I don’t like the stickers on them same thing with um uh with Target or I I yo I do the good old like steaming and peeling off to get those damn stickers off hate it hate it hate it hate it um Luke Cage and did not care who wrote it it was a great character there you go there you go man that’s another yeah another great cap power man can’t go yeah can’t go without them Sid what’s going on man it’s been a minute he said why did they put this on Modern comic books regarding diversity seems like an older era issue yeah that’s that’s my thing too yeah in the beginning of time yeah what were majority characters majority characters are white like you see for an average person that doesn’t know who this is they see the skin tone and they immediately would be like oh he’s white but guess what folks he’s had viltramite and half asian so he’s not white and yeah and then that’s and that’s the thing so there’s your diversity you have it everywhere but it’s just that people don’t know so then that means comic book you know companies do a better job at [ __ ] marketing these you know a lot of these different characters that’s that’s a big thing you don’t you don’t see that and 100 agree with you on that Sid I this I disagree with completely right here there’s a lot of points that they had on here that I agree with 100 uh Wayne star says I just sent you pictures of five all right I’m gonna get to it Wayne I appreciate it I will get to it uh Philly boy and say good evening thorough and Chad Hope all are well I pre-order my monthly books because of the discount I’m not paying off the rack prices vendus also created Naomi side note his yo facts thank you another character black character black female dope dope ass character I wish they continue to do something with it I saw a lot of potential it just kind of sort of fell through the freaking cracks they they just weren’t continuing with it I don’t think they were making a good enough push but yes Naomi another character created by Bendis so big shout out to you phillipon I appreciate it man uh I always say pause after this name blood sausage pause yo what up man good to see you Philly born uh both of his daughters are black uh props to him in my opinion X-Men the o5 crew were not diverse but that changed with giant size X-Men and that’s why I started my comic Journey there you go that’s what’s up man that is what’s up um yeah you see look Philly born yeah the Hellfire Gala is my book of the year so far the story I waited the price number facts uh hashtag facts he said I see a lot of uh people liking X-Men when they are getting massacred LOL the haters I don’t get it yeah man I I started reading it because of you bro I had no idea what the hell is going on uh fro bro in the building what’s going on old man said are we live during non-vampire hours today sweet yes yes yes pop sequentialism said one of the all-time great Comics yo Scout yes yes [ __ ] amazing damn story bro and I remember at one time you know they were talking heavily about this being options I said a story of murder and Corruption on Native American reservation it was written by a white Southern Baptist Jason Aaron shout out to my man Matt if you guys don’t follow this man please do so so damn uh just just freaking full full of freaking information uh so big shout out to him and yes Jason Aaron one of my favorite writers not right now but he created one of my favorite damn books ever and that was God of Thunder the Lord got a thunder the greatest Thor story ever uh Louis olivo says don’t forget that tons of manga is black and white yes sir definitely is definitely is uh let me see what else uh fro brother said it wasn’t what path just a Thunderbird replacement his brother right after they killed Thunderbird in like three books I I think it was I don’t even remember I only remember if anybody would have would uh would have answered that that would be um who was it that was asking me before um Sinister Titan since the Titan I know that um let me see Pop sequentialism said American Margaritas do complain when there are live action adaptations even when the creators are fine with the castings like the ghost in the show oh yeah very true very [ __ ] true man that’s another one right there that is another one hijris 96 said all writers do these days is try to appeal to their own personal agenda rather than give true comic fans what they truly want and that’s the reason why comic sales are are freaking horrible they’re horrible they’re horrible Nigerian nurse says uh do you think they make brother Voodoo white make new comments [ __ ] no hell no that’s that’s the answer I’ll do I’ll say it right now that’s the [ __ ] that I say though that’s the [ __ ] yo you know how many people will be mad as [ __ ] if they did that oh my God forget it yeah it would be over it would be over um Luke number one still affordable unreal yeah yo first Luke Cage first Luke Cage that yo trust me man those things uh is crazy since the Titan said just don’t ask Matt about spawn he hurt my soul last time so you know and this is a good segue to talk about spawn because we’re going to be talking about spawn here in a second but let me get to number one so number one here you go there are fewer comic book stores and there’s gonna be even more and uh or should I say less and less of them and this is the truth there are a lot a lot of comic shops closing down I again I I freaking hate it because it’s it’s such an awesome stomping ground to get together with other people you can argue about superheroes and be like yo Batman is better than Iron Man and that person will be like nah Iron Man is better than Batman I’m gonna tell you why I love those debates but yeah comic book shops are closing and again a lot of it has to do with the economy believe it or not food is going up gas prices are going up everything is freaking going up that we all need for you know for just daily living so that stuff is affecting as much as people might want to disregard that that stuff is 100 affecting every single thing that we do today and again affecting our decisions guys just saw my man Philly born says yeah the reason I pre-order is because I’m not gonna lie I’ll take that damn discount I want that discount I don’t care if it’s 10 15 I’ll take that discount because it’ll help me out with my purchase of comic books because comic books along with the way the economy is rolling they’re going up in price again DC has already been in there Marvel is is coming up now next in October October is when the prices change and everything is going up to five dollars before you know it by next year I would not be surprised if comic books are six bucks for Marvel would not be surprised I’m telling you they they train you for that [ __ ] they’ll come and hit you and be like yeah the reason we’re charging you guys five dollars on this one is because this is card stock DC did the same [ __ ] DC started going there was like yeah this one’s 5.99 because it’s called stock is better paper quality but in all reality if you look at how much it costs for them to manufacture these things it’s [ __ ] Pennies on a dollar so they they’re charging you because they’re trying they want to get you ready for the next price hike so that way you can’t say oh my God this prices are ridiculous that’s literally what it is that’s what business is about they’re not just gonna jump out the blue and tell all of us hey guys comic books are seven dollars now no they’re gonna work they’re gonna yo it’s called foreplay they’re working you they’re working you they’re like yo let’s go I’m gonna freaking make sure that that you had the best orgasm in your life and now you’re gonna [ __ ] pay 6.99 for you for your damn books that’s that’s exactly what the hell is happening Hydra says um uh did you see the complete idiosity that they announced at San Diego Comic-Con for essentially redoing the Allen Scott Green Lantern and updating his oh my God bro listen hydrus that when when I when I read about that [ __ ] yo I’m telling you I I I a lot of this [ __ ] I honestly I can’t believe I honestly can’t again it’s all about just appeasing whatever the [ __ ] it is that they’re trying to I don’t get it I don’t get it again so that that CBR I’ll answer the question for you where there’s no risks so people are afraid people are afraid to take the risk nobody wants to offend nobody and every that that’s just what it is I mean you go you go to you know you go to like a comedy stand-up special right you go anywhere and before the [ __ ] comedy special even starts they have to like [ __ ] put out saying hey this you know things here tonight Are Gonna offend people it’s gonna do this and that if you are not you know if you’re not willing to hear this then you might as well walk out they they literally have to warn you before that that never used to happen at comedy you know at comedy shows again just new [ __ ] new new day and age of how things are nowadays and how sensitive people are crappy and Comics here thank you for that five dollar Savage that my brother said nice a rewind video I can watch overnight at work tonight oh man I appreciate you thank you so much my brother again really really appreciate all you guys thank you for hanging out with me here today we’re going to be touching up on another subject here in a few let me just address a couple more uh folks here in the chat Rob T said been collecting Comics since 1980 man I wasn’t even born wasn’t even born I have been buying digital collectible collectible Comics last few years the key is to get off drop Vivi is dropping Fantastic Four number two tomorrow for 699 and 7 500 Edition so you see that’s what I was talking about folks before you take you take a gamble right you take a gamble I’m gonna I’m gonna be waiting there’s a couple of Vivi drops that I picked up that listen if it turns out to something later down the road it could be something that could help out my my daughters or whatever you know what I mean that’s that’s just how I look at it it’s a gamble I’m not going to call it an investment because I don’t know what the future holds nobody does if we all knew what the future holds I’d [ __ ] have the lottery numbers right now and I’d be freaking playing the Mega Millions and winning the billion dollars but yeah you just never know you take a risk I’d rather lose seven dollars than to go ahead later down the road and this thing starts going up right and now all of a sudden you’re like [ __ ] I should have got this I wish I did and then fomo hits you and now you’re dropping a thousand dollars on it this is this is why I say that so for me to take a seven dollar gamble on something I’m not mad because that’s like me taking a 10 gamble on the lotto to see if I’m gonna be the next billionaire that’s that’s literally what it is Rob T I appreciate that man pop sequentialism said an albino brother Voodoo would be creepy as [ __ ] yo they probably might do something like that I could see that happening I can see that happening Philly born said uh one last thought let’s not forget the current writers aren’t getting paid right according to them better pay better stories if you’re trying to get into writing right now good luck yeah and this is why you got to take your own IP do your own thing and you’ll be good to go you know what I mean you’ll be good to go get you get your own thing and and just don’t even worry about these publishing companies you’ve got companies now that will publish a comic book for you and all you got to do is just pay them I’d rather do that than to than to sit behind uh you know uh Marvel DC or anything like that because they’re gonna cost you a [ __ ] arm and a leg so that’s yeah that that’s that’s that’s a that’s a freaking you know that that’s the right way of putting this to like you know the writers aren’t getting paid so why would I even put myself out there if I’m making a good paycheck as it is why would I put myself in that position where you know I go and write a comic and because I want to get into the comic industry these are things that discourage people so that’s another reason too why you don’t see diversity there you go and that’s a good one man I appreciate that Philly um hydrus said if my LCS ever announced that they were going to close I would cry because of how much it has helped me through some super difficult times and the owners and staff have become my family yeah man it means a lot of stuff to people man I hated leaving my boy Dave man shout out to Dave comics and gaming in Gainesville Virginia if you guys are in the area of Virginia go and check them out man good people good people freaking always has treated me right and by far one you know always had great conversations with him and even though my wife hated it because she’d be in the car waiting the next thing I know I’m there having to talk about comic books uh Theory my man said brother Voodoo Haitian I would go crazy if they made him a wife yeah take off my main Theory man shout out to the folks at Haiti man um I just said Marvel was already starting with the new Ultimate Universe oh man that that ultimate [ __ ] is starting to [ __ ] it’s starting to like I don’t know I I’m like 50 50 on it right now is uh it’s starting to weigh a little bit on me and it’s taking too damn long to come out uh Philly Bourne said 35 off that certain place can’t be oh yeah yo true true uh you know I would name him but again I ain’t getting paid I don’t know fro brother said I want worse paper quality I want the old school newspaper type paper because it has a smell to it smell creates memories memories create collectors and you don’t find that no more you don’t find that no more uh Reef the C said I still remember when Comics were 25 cents oh my god I’ve never been in that that era I mine was what two two something 250 I think it was something like that I can’t even remember what two dollars some [ __ ] can’t remember in a bit you heard to my brother man the new Warriors comments and collectibles guys if you guys are not following my man man pigs you know there’s one big brother right here uh New York Warriors comics and collectibles make sure to go and subscribe to them here on YouTube they’re always doing a dope freaking auction every Friday at eight or nine PM don’t don’t quote me on it sometimes the time times change New York is always the latest [ __ ] I know but my biggest thing is yo check them out you guys will get some dope dope deals I haven’t been able to go on there because I’ve been getting rid of a lot of my stuff because I’m making room for my manga I haven’t been able to get uh you know had a chance because I’ve had a lot of [ __ ] going on so he freaking big shout out to him man always doing his thing and you know always putting up some videos right there randomly that you guys can enjoy as well uh so he said many of these uh articles are fake written purposely to cause chaos he’s like I bet the writer knows Invincible is Asian but wrote it purposely to create chaos and you might be right you might be right that I mean when you start seeing things like this what you know what gains people’s attention you know that like me I’d be pissed the [ __ ] off because I’m like yo this dude’s Asian bro and Aville termite so I don’t even think he’s white he’s an alien he’s an alien he’s half alien half asian I was trying to yo I’m saying Hell and I’m trying to let my mind go and I’m like yo half alien half asian aliasian I don’t know I was trying to Commander too but it wasn’t sounding right yo but that ass man I I had to laugh on that one JG in the building what is going on um said Reef said the best paper was back to the paper a dollar fifty a book yo bro that’s the truth and y’all remember too um they they um damn man who was the company that made the indestructible comic books they were made out of Tyvek damn I can’t remember if y’all know what I’m talking about then y’all know yo I tried it for the life of me try rip nothing nothing you got to take scissors and [ __ ] scissors something brother Joe said that’s why I only pick up two or three Comics a week and I’m lucky when enough uh nothing I’m collecting is it yo facts man ually will say wait did someone say 6.99 Oregon but it’s a category on PornHub yes it probably it probably is I might have to stop yo you know what I need to do I know I’ve been seeing some more random [ __ ] sometimes that people be doing there’s a there’s a guy that teaches math on PornHub I didn’t know that that was true or not so I had to go look it up you know for research purposes of course I went and I was sure as hell yeah this [ __ ] on and he making money making money I’m about to go on PornHub and talk about comic books I I [ __ ] uh yo what what would be people’s excuses when it’s like yo your wife goes and sees your bank account is like yo I sent I sent you know like a super Channel porn up for five dollars and it’ll be like what the [ __ ] are you watching on PornHub I’m watching the black Comics baby don’t worry I got it um or uh thorough quick question started collecting comments again this year stop collecting in 2012 because of college and financial reasons what the [ __ ] is with all these variants feels like the 90s y’all look at this man is already well versed shout out to geogeo because they already know they’re like yo this is the 90s and this is what happens again I’m very against all those High ratio I could understand like those one in 25 150 one in 100 even but yeah going up to like those one and one thousands again it’s it’s a it’s a it’s a money scheme it’s it’s just a money scheme um it’s something that these companies created so that they can make money because they know that us we’re all like you know where we’re freaking Savages yo that ass at heart we’re all Savages because we all want that book you want to be that guy you want to have that scarce one in one thousand book especially if it’s something dope so you know they’re charging that money for that stuff and next thing you know it does it kills the market and it also causes a lot of these brick and mortar shops to shut down because they have such a huge influx of comic books sitting on their wall like I’m really hoping there’s one store that I go to right now doesn’t close because they’re [ __ ] not I’m liking it right now yo I I just I swear man I I don’t I don’t go in there with a camera because first off they have a sign on there no cameras please and things like that and I freaking you know I respect you know I respect people I respect their property and the territory so but you know I swear man I’m I’m gonna have to talk to like the owner or something be like hey would you mind if I you know if if I take a video of things I don’t even have to show the store name just take a video of the Interior yo I [ __ ] you [ __ ] not you should see the variance you you would think like back in the days when I was collecting how the variants would disappear like that [ __ ] variance like literally on this little freaking stand that like about to fall over and then the rest of the walls are just full of [ __ ] comics full of [ __ ] comic show um I was like yo damn this sucks this sucks because this is where where I’m like yo this is the stupid little [ __ ] that that leads to these folks losing their place and because they can’t sell any of it and then they have these major sales where they’re like oh man all books 60 off because they’re trying to get rid of it or they end up freaking losing their business and then they’re forced to take whatever they have and sell it to a used bookstore I go to Second and Charles Second and Charles has a damn book for 50 cents so why the [ __ ] would I do that [ __ ] man why would I do that [ __ ] yo it’s crazy it is [ __ ] it’s crazy bro so we’ll we’ll see we’ll see man uh it [ __ ] yo yeah I want to talk I’m seeing a lot of you folks saying how like yo it would hurt you to see your LCS [ __ ] leave that that’s how I feel with a lot of people even if you know even if I don’t like you or you know like I know of you or things like that and it’s like I don’t want to see that for nobody man that’s that [ __ ] sucks um I Don’t Like Comics says hi New York Warriors from Canada he’s like I buy comics in the YouTube sale Miles number one variant Legacy 241 and have you uh have you Styx in the back 9.4 and red markers in the back I don’t know what what that what that is in reference to Biggs might know uh hey I I read Comics said 9.4 grades allow for small defects yo and said I appreciate the shout out yeah never start on time set for us yo that ass man I appreciate you my brother Aaron in the building what’s going on uh thorough I heard the news about the joint and this effect on your parents much love to all of you sending Good Vibes present yo I appreciate it man appreciate that a ton uh Aaron said you mentioned you spoke with someone who had a totally different view I love that we need to understand and respect different views stay strong yo I appreciate it man that’s that’s what I said yo I don’t care you know what I mean like for me everybody’s gonna have different point of views you know I I love it I love to hear I don’t want anybody to be like yeah I agree with you I agree with you that’s that’s [ __ ] stupid that’s nonsense you gotta agree with everybody on everything I I [ __ ] I’m I’m against that 100 that’s why even if there’s something that I disagree with you in the chat I’ll still highlight you it’s people that I see that that run their channels and they’ll be like they’ll skip over everything anything controversial or some [ __ ] not me man I’ll [ __ ] I’ll say it because that’s how you really feel that’s how you really feel um said I love this oh stickers stickers in the back Wolverine Center Black age and nice blue ring era 212.

23 bids on this [ __ ] thing it’s not too many people bidding so you know that there’s not that many people that know about this book I didn’t think that that [ __ ] existed until I saw that one YouTuber this Asian kid that I said and he held up a 9.6 graded copy of it and that dude was like [ __ ] he he was in heaven and I was like damn I was like where the hell did he get that from I thought it was fake so you’re you’re seeing you’re seeing what’s going on here look at this an 8.5 so this book in high grade is going to be a rarity in itself because of the dark ass colors I mean just look at it it’s literally all freaking black with the exception of Spawn and his freaking and and his damn ectoplasm [ __ ] that he has coming out of his hands 8.5 630 dollars six hundred and thirty dollars and it continues this one I remember seeing July 2nd I remember following this one Seventeen hundred and twenty five dollars for a raw copy and this was a real nice copy I looked at it up and down probably looks like a yeah it’s it’s probably a 9 8 candidate 1725 on this so start to see a trend on the damn book July 8th 1236 dollars another raw copy for a book that you couldn’t absolutely find nothing of right so now you’re starting to see them popping up and the biggest question of it all is is there somebody who is sitting specifically one seller that I’ve seen on here sitting on a [ __ ] ton of these and just bit by bit being smart putting them out there and creating a start because if you guys know usually when they do give out these little con exclusives like this at a show they’re usually coming off of a 30 000 print run thirty thousand print run so if there’s 30 000 copies of this book that somebody has their hands on and they’re just like I’m putting them out I’m putting them out I’m putting them out just very sparingly so that freaking you know so that these books come out there and people have them I’m just gonna say this is not a dumb [ __ ] they’re smart they’re smart here’s another one 9.2 9.4 this is being sold by Comics tunes and toys and this is what’s on there this is part again spawn for anybody that played Mortal Kombat you know spawn came out on Mortal Kombat dope ass looking book The only thing I don’t like is that freaking strip at the top world record-breaking comic not a fan of that I don’t know why the hell they added that on there for me kind of throws his damn book off to be honest with you but dope ass dope ass cover with the images spawn in the Mortal Kombat video game so this one right now has one bit on it it’s going to be ending on Friday I’m gonna add this to my watch list I’m gonna watch to see what the hell this ends at so there’s that you also had another listing right here at fifteen hundred dollars at fifteen hundred dollars and one thing that this one specific seller has been doing that they were smart on is what they’ve been doing is they put up some for bids for auction and then when the auction one is up then all of a sudden they put a Buy It Now and they have a Buy It Now up so somebody here by the name of R Hernandez has one as a buy now for fifteen hundred dollars near mint near [ __ ] mint yo fifteen hundred freaking dollars so that bottom portion right there looks like a little rounded corner right there might be like a little ding kind of hard to see I don’t know this uh the images on this freaking thing are kind of smoky but there’s a look at that there’s a little bit of a color robe right there next to the image uh symbol um again there you have it 306 exclusive that’s the netherrealms exclusive again for Mortal Kombat and yeah this book is is [ __ ] selling for some astronomical numbers but the one person that’s selling the damn book is like I said very [ __ ] smart about how they’re doing it so I’m starting to come to a guest that maybe this person might have come across this damn book maybe even came across somebody from the con from Mortal Kombat and they were just like ah [ __ ] it I’ll show you the whole box and voila here we go so here’s another one another Buy It Now spawn 306.

another by a noun and look at the name right here Comics tunes and toys has a buy now for fourteen hundred I’m gonna see who’s gonna pull the trigger on that [ __ ] 1400 then we go back up top and we have one from Comics tunes and toys at 500 on auction let’s go back down and see how many compared to when I first saw a listing of this book ever this book there was only one up one up on freaking eBay and now as you can see as time has progressed they’re starting to put them out and you’re starting to see them everywhere then you have somebody who has a graded copy and look how much this [ __ ] book is at right now I need to follow this book because I want to see what the end sale is going to be on this one a 9.8 is at 2 375 dollars with three days left it’s gonna end on Saturday at 10 19 PM Eastern Time so this one I’m gonna keep my eyes out on but 2 375 dollars right now and this is from cruising through comics cruising through comics so cruising through comics has that at that then we have another one with the best offer on here and 1900 Somebody by the name of I am the ghost they’re selling this book again here you go very rare this is one of the reasons why this book is being that because I’m seeing somebody actually asking um why is this book selling for this much so this book was literally a rarity because nobody got their hands on it because this thing was canceled this this convention for Mortal Kombat got canceled so it never happened that Expo that they did for Mortal Kombat never happened because of covet it had to get shut down so this book was never freaking released to the public and now again like I said if they were there is about a 30 000 copies of this damn book that we’re going to be going to that show 30 000 copies so somebody got their [ __ ] hands on this [ __ ] because you’re seeing them absolutely [ __ ] everywhere this one is ending at 9 00 PM or to yeah tomorrow I’m already thinking it’s Thursday my bad folks 9.8 netherrum studio so you know that cgc so you know that somebody has had their hands on this for quite some time because they send it in to get graded they send it in to get graded it’s another one to keep an eye out on for this [ __ ] is at twenty six hundred and fifty dollars right now currently with nine bids nine bids for this 9.8 this is being deemed the rarest spawn book for right now this one is being sold by Viking for Alpha this is being deemed the rarest freaking Spawn comic book right now and since I’ve been keeping up with this book so far this book has not been as rare as it once was at one time then you have somebody else here this one they’re claiming is 9.2 or better and guess who it is cruising through comics 14.99 9.2 or better cruising through Comics so y’all see where I’m trying to get out with this you’re starting to see a whole freaking [ __ ] ton of this book which is making me start to think that the possibility is that yeah somebody got their hands on these [ __ ] things and maybe maybe just maybe somebody that was working at this Expo got their hands on this [ __ ] and they just bought it all out and was like okay and now they’re pushing it out there so my question is for this and I would love to know what you guys think for right now this is is being considered the rarest [ __ ] Spawn comic but I’m a big spawn fan I’ve I collected the whole damn thing had every single variant you could possibly think of I sold it all I don’t have it no more because I don’t have [ __ ] space to keep all my damn comic books I sold the majority big chunk I remember people were buying it all for the auctions I was doing buying a big chunk of everything I had to spawn literally one all the way to 300 I completed that task this book right now is is [ __ ] just going insane but the question is when more copies start to surface and more people start to see how prevalent this book is this is going to be pretty [ __ ] shitty for whoever’s buying this at these prices right now this is going to be pretty shitty this person right here is asking for this 9.8 is asking for 3 800 dollars thirty eight hundred dollars thirty eight hundred dollars so yeah if anybody in the chat like Mike bernadino’s asking how many did they send I know usually my man Wilbert whenever he’s in the chat he always helps me out a ton and he he’s always looking up the stats because I don’t have um I don’t have since I’m not grading stuff I don’t I don’t really look up any of that but um my Bernadino said how many did they send into cgc to get those 9.8 and that’s another good question I honestly would like to check the census if anybody has any idea on what on the census on this book spawn 306 again nether realm Studios Edition is what cgc is labeling it as I would love to know how many of these have been graded so if anybody out there has them even if you leave it on the comment you’re watching this on a rewind let me know man I really really appreciate it guys but uh spawn 306 again you can see the date right there this was from March 20th this is this this is freaking bananas my homegirl Victoria what’s going on she says I’ve never bought this phone but that’s a wheelchair bro LOL facts facts there’s a lot of stuff you could buy with this but look at this there’s a lot of listings here’s another one and here’s another one from I am the ghost so if you start looking at the trending pattern here you’re starting to see you’re starting to see some of the same name somebody I ain’t knocking on them if they sell they sell yokudo Saddam congratulations for selling these books for those wild ass numbers but good Lord like look at this this [ __ ] is raw raw and they’re like yo 2500.

three thousand dollars three thousand for a 9.6 9.6 created three thousand dollars let me see who’s selling this d-o-r uh d-o-b-r-z Ada whoever that is so that’s that one right there they’re selling for three thousand the nine-point six look at that and for anybody ever tell me y’all remember when I said I will buy a [ __ ] 3.5 graded ultimate Fallout 4. I wasn’t lying to you I would these [ __ ] are putting a 7.5 a 7.5 for two thousand dollars this is collect this Comics two thousand dollars for a 7.5 goes to show you look this is the wreckage that will happen on some of these exclusives that are handed out at some of these Expos and things because yeah they’re not going to care they’re giving it to you for free they’ll be like here you go boom boom boom boom boom done that’s it it’s a wrap whatever you get you get sort of like the comic books that you’re getting in the movie theaters that you know like AMC will be putting out not all of them are going to be in great condition some of them are going to beat up they even put on less than 50 exist this is what they put here less than 50 exists I don’t know if they went on eBay it was like counting how many sold and how many how many are being listed on here so if this 50 compared to the one or two that I remember seeing not too long ago then that means that the numbers are starting to grow and somebody has these [ __ ] things and they’re just being smarter the way that they put them out and my man Robert I appreciate it brother said 44 graded copies Wilbur said seven nine uh signed 9.8 10 9.6 is 17 9.8 so there you go 44.

44. this person said less than 50. we can’t go ahead and discount the fact that there are the raw copies that are sitting on here as well you can’t discount that and trust me when I tell y’all I I’m freaking on eBay right now and finding these many on here right now I’m starting to honestly believe that something is going on something because you would not see that many of these things and if there was like one of them up there that [ __ ] would be going like that for anybody I knew about the book so to see these joints on here right now with as many as I’ve seen and with a couple of the sales that are on here these are not all the sales by the way on this book these are just a couple of them that sold look at that somebody got themselves at 8.5 for 6 30.

And y’all saw how much they were asking for a 7.5 so this is yeah this is going to be this is very interesting I honestly let me know what you guys think do you guys think that there’s something going on here something’s fishy it’s smelling is smelling like a damn prostitute’s cooted up in this joint right now y’all let me know y’all let me know Harrow Hoy said it’s a scam Reeve said it’s another manufactured scarcity book Harold Hoyt still he’s yelling he’s like scam frog brawler says I don’t understand how this is rare this was rare at one point because nobody had it nobody had I’m telling you the first time I ever saw anybody with the damn book was this Asian kid I can’t remember his name on YouTube and that was in 2021 if I remember correctly and he was in heaven because he’s a big Mortal Kombat collector I forget the dude’s name so my thing is when the rest of all of this [ __ ] starts to pop up then I’ll be like damn this will suck for these folks man oh man Joey said fishy cooler book there you go there you go Jolly mole in the building what’s going on yeah yeah Jolly Moore was like yo the fishing rod they’re like yo going fishing we’re going fishing but yeah that’s that’s what’s happening right here that’s what’s happening so there y’all have it man so go ahead and end on this man I again if it’s something that you like something that you want to buy buy it I’m not going to discourage you guys from from buying from buying stuff I’m gonna be monitoring this because I’m genuinely I’m interested there’s 44 copies graded on the cgc census that doesn’t include as we can see right here is cbcs somebody in in the chat right now has the numbers for cbcs please let me know if not again let me know in the comments on the rewind if you’re watching this let me know because I I have no idea don’t don’t think it’s your cgc because there’s cbcs that has some of it there’s one here that’s sold 8.5 sold from freaking from uh cbcs so cbcs let me actually see what cbcs writes on this to be honest with you because I have no freaking idea what does cbcs put so they put it yeah they pretty much put the same thing three 2020 now the realm Studios Edition [Music] yeah they put they put the same thing they put the same thing on there so this was sold by somebody with the name Guido guido88 so yeah I would also love to know how many are on the cbcs census that that would be very interesting to see so there’s 44 cgc I would like to know how many cbcs there are because that that would be something very interesting all right so Victoria said first bat girl in an 8.0 is cheaper than this phone but I looked up for shits and giggles and that’s my grill damn damn uh it just goes to show you you’re gonna have some of these books but my biggest thing my biggest worry is when more books more copies of this book start to surface this book ain’t gonna be no damn twenty three thirty five hundred dollar book that’s that’s the biggest that’s the biggest thing rasp G what’s going on said that’s a fresh account yo this is this is all I’m gonna say like yeah I do I want to keep seeing I and again if anybody has cbcs numbers on this let me know let me know because I definitely be interested on that all right so enough with the uh with the spawn stuff you guys know about this now so you know again you’re watching this on a rewind let me know what you guys think do you guys think something fishy is going on what do you think this is legit let me know guys now moving on from that let’s go ahead into the whole Brides Comics thing because you guys heard me talk about it before I said that I was going to do a little bit more research apparently there’s a second video that’s out um and I actually reached out to some people I reached out to some people and I talked I even uh emailed some people who worked with the lotto and you know I got I got the most you know I got the most like the shortest answer ever I’m not gonna put them out there because I don’t want you know I don’t want to get myself in trouble with anybody so I had um I’m actually gonna read it from my uh from my phone because I um I asked a question so a lot a lot of the stuff that that I’ve been you know making a reference to was you know I’ve referenced to the video I watched the first video that Brides comedy so again I don’t know bro I I you know I I you know I I do want to put something out there I don’t wish any ill upon the guy I don’t I don’t know him like that for me to ever react like that but my thing is you know from past accounts from past history from uh you know Optics all that stuff you know it it doesn’t look good on his behalf because of the things that you know that have happened prior you know a lot of people be like you know it was honest mistakes yeah man I make mistakes I’m not you know I’m not gonna take that away but how many times can you honestly make you know make mistakes or keep doing the same thing over and over so I I wrote to somebody and I just wrote to them in reference to uh to an exclusive that they did that with the lotto back in the days and I just said hey was wondering if you had to sign an NDA with Marvel with the lotto to have this done and I just said your response will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time um and they just wrote something very minimal they didn’t write maybe they have an idea what’s going on with all of this with Bry and everything like that maybe they they’re cool with him I don’t know so they just wrote high and they just said my suggestion is not to work with Marvel to produce exclusive slash products support any of the other publishers this is what they wrote back to me that that’s all they wrote back to me so not only that and you guys can see I’m reading it off my phone because again I if if these folks are okay with me showing who they are I would go on there and I and I’d let y’all know but I’m not doing that because I don’t I don’t have any permission so I don’t want to get myself caught up into any issues there’s some other people that I spoke about too and I’ve asked them if they’ve ever had to sign any ndas or anything like that to do any work this wasn’t just work with the lotto because I wanted to get down to business with this of finding out like hey because to be honest with you I know a lot of people out there to include my boy Tim you guys have seen him he’s done exclusives with Marvel on Plenty of occasions and never once says he told me hey I had to sign an NDA with you know with Marvel in order to do an exclusive so that that’s one thing that started to to Ring the Alarm because um you know at the very beginning of Rye’s video he pretty much started talking about having to sign an NDA for him in order to do this work with the lotto I’ve heard some people say that hey it’s a bunch of BS I can’t truly tell you it is or it’s not uh but there’s people that yeah they’ve had exclusives done so I started to reach out to people there’s more people that I’m reaching out to in reference to uh you know to uh you know to asking them especially people who have done something with the lotto in the past so I’ve been reaching out to them and asking them hey have you guys had this on an NDA with you know with the lotto and Marvel in order to get some gelato artwork on your exclusive so I’m still waiting for a response I don’t know if people want to respond if not it is it is what it is so one of the things that I did learn about variety is that um the reason that book it wasn’t him selling the book he actually put mystery boxes together he ended up getting a certain amount of this comic book this gelato comic book that he claims to say that he had no idea about that he did not know um you know that that comic existed that that piece of artwork was already pre-existing on a foreign comic he had no idea of that so I said that the number one way to find out guys is if he ends up suing freaking delotto because the lotto went and gave them used artwork um and maybe in his contract he was like Hey I want to have new brand new fresh artwork you know what what’s gonna happen with that so as the video was progressing again one of the things that threw me off was the whole NDA things I’ve never heard of this I’ve asked a lot of other people just not that worked with a lot of what I’ve asked a lot of people who said hey I’ve never in my life have I had to sign a [ __ ] NDA to do work with Marvel and things of that nature or anything to to have an exclusive so that right there starts to kind of when I when you start having multiple people saying no that’s not the case with this I have not done that I haven’t had to do this that’s when it starts to become iffy for me I start to say okay that’s what questions start to come I’m not the only one out there that’s asking going around asking questions the other thing was if you guys know like Google has this awesome freaking uh you know a little thingamajig where you can do image searches you can take you know anybody could take Bryce comic and take that image that he has on his book and automatically pop it up and you’ll see it Google will find it for you and I did it came right up first freaking thing on there uh my man Red Hood did it I don’t know if you guys follow Red Hood then red hood you know he went and did that stuff and he found it right away too he he actually posted it on his uh on his page on Instagram so right off the bat I was like okay well he said in his video that he didn’t find he didn’t find this that you know his image in the image search I don’t know maybe he doesn’t know how to use image search people have to learn how to do things so I can’t I can’t blame him for nothing on on that if he doesn’t know how to use it um so the thing that caught me off and that I had to you know that I had to actually freaking go and ask was when he made mention in his video he made a mention of international comics for anybody that doesn’t know who International Comics is go and you know give them a follow on Instagram he’s a good dude his name is Josh she um he uh put out information he was actually the first one that I learned from about that book I had no idea that that book had existed that that cover had it already existed on a freaking Italian exclusive so what threw me off was I remember seeing International comics’s Post and in Bryce video Bry actually makes mention of international comics and he said hey I had no idea and then he goes on to go in full detail on the name on the name of the damn book and International Comics never put the name of the book in his post so I reached out to International comics and I asked him hey bro that at any point that you ask you know did you add you know did um did he ask you or did you uh or did you give him any information as to what the title of the book was because I found it oddly strange that he went up and actually freaking named the book out Cuomo ragno especiale all this you know like a whole damn title so I was like how can you not know about something but then you go on and recite the whole damn freaking name of the book to a t if you didn’t know how to find it or you had no idea of it and international Comics didn’t include it in his post so I found that oddly strange so all these little things these are the things that like for me again like I said I also learned that Bryce Comics did a mystery box and the mystery box literally freaking gave you an opportunity from what I’m hearing at a chance to win an Amazing Fantasy 15 [ __ ] hey who the [ __ ] wouldn’t want that so a lot of people went in I think it was 250 dollars the buy-in on that um On that Day Lotto so on the case of like stirring this book up to going to the prices that it is I wouldn’t I wouldn’t I wouldn’t say that he’s at fault of that because that is pretty much after the fact of what what’s going on it’s the people that got their hands on it and everybody I started to [ __ ] push it but the problem that lies on this was where the Rarity portion of this comes into play so when you start mentioning that this is one of the rarest gelatos mind you there is a rare gelato that I don’t know if anybody has uncovered or not even International Comics made mention of it the rarest gelato is that one of one that’s inside those Italian comic packs for Miles Morales Spider-Man number one and that was an Italian exclusive it came in like this foil I have bought four of them all four that I opened up I didn’t get anything I just got the main cover on it uh in hopes that maybe yes that I would have a chance of getting that one of one that one of one that’s in that damn book that is the rarest one ever that is literally the rarest [ __ ] the lotto there is it’s only one that exists again I don’t know if maybe in Italy somebody might have popped the one open over there maybe somebody over here we don’t know I even asked Josh and he’s like bro I have no idea um but this is this is what what starts to create these things when people starts using that term Rarity and saying this is rare same thing Falls along the lines with this spawn book this spawn book right now yes it’s rare because as of I what I know there’s only 44 copies graded all together from cgc I don’t know how many are through cbcs so the amount just keeps adding up still if it remains under 100 this is one hell of a rare ass book but if the rest of this freaking uh set of books that were meant to be handed out to people at this Expo Mortal Kombat Expo start coming out then yeah that Rarity Factor starts to go down the hole so you guys have seen that Bryce Comics version was going for damn near five thousand dollars it’s pretty [ __ ] insane how much money that that damn thing was going so again I don’t know I don’t blame Bry for causing any of that because that was the aftermarket effect from the people that bought into that and they ended up winning one of those books so they ended up getting that chance and now they selling them and they’re making that money on it but the biggest problem was that claim of it being the rarest Lotto that there is that’s where again I really in a sense can’t vote bro because he might truly not know that that you know that that the lotto that one of one gelato exists so I I can’t blame him on that he might not know of it there’s things I don’t know to be honest with you there’s things that I don’t know but again I try to go into things because I said I was like I want to watch this video I want to see he apologized to everybody he you know um some people told me hey bro you know it’s not you know I’m not sticking up for him but you know he’s and and listen guys I I feel like that’s becoming like a common thing you know when you explain yourself about something and you’re and you’re talking about something because it’s your opinion keep it like that man don’t don’t feel inclined like you have to put in that little extra in there having to say like you know making yourself feel like yo like I’m not trying to stand up for the guy and I’m trying to protect them because in the end who the [ __ ] knows Bryce comics for all we know again this is just me hypothetically speaking could come out and say hey I’m you know I I you know guys I lied to you guys I I knew about this all this all along whatever and at this time you know he’s he might be just trying to say face for all we know right but the moment that he comes out doing that it’s it’s going to be bad for him it’s going to look bad upon him because a lot of people are gonna you know that’s the reason why people will say things like that is like hey I’m not sticking up for him because nobody wants to be held accountable either and be like [ __ ] like I was standing up for this guy I I made mention in a post over here that yo he’s this this this that this that and the third everybody’s a good person until they do you dirty just remember that everybody’s a good person until they do you dirty that’s that’s one of the biggest things like people always tend to forget that I always said this as soon as somebody is something dirty has done to somebody that’s when you start to hate that person that’s when you dislike them that’s when you’re like oh hell no I’m gonna expose you for absolutely everything I don’t have nothing towards bright like that but I don’t what I personally don’t freaking start to like is when you start to hear certain things from uh big set of people that do that you know that do exclusives and they start putting out exclusives left and right and they’re saying like bro I’ve never had the [ __ ] sign an NDA like that’s a lie what the [ __ ] do you think we’re all gonna perceive we’re all gonna start thinking like well if these folks over here aren’t signing in the NBA’s then what the hell does that mean what were you like the special occasion if he indeed didn’t know from me shame on [ __ ] Disney and Marvel shame on them because in all honesty that’s [ __ ] shitty that they go and do that to somebody who again his [ __ ] business is being put out on the line so I understand that aspect of it too trust me I’m not I’m not ignorant to that fact when you look at that yeah his business could completely be demolished because of something that the lotto and Marvel decided to do and we’re like oh [ __ ] like I don’t have time for this but we can sell them this art that we already did that only came out in Europe so now we’re making an exclusive to the US which they do do they will take something that has been in Europe for years and they will [ __ ] bring it back over here and be like oh here’s brand new well here’s the problem again is like you can’t call something a rarity and just in case it’s like cover all your bases do your homework and that’s something that he did apologize for he said that he wants to do better by knowing and better going into things and better understanding you know you also have the whole licensing thing that he was just like man I don’t even want to talk about licensing because I’m not too uh you know like like freaking too too damn you know like that diversify when it comes to you know when it comes to that when it comes to licensing because licensing is another [ __ ] complete different thing uh so I understand him on that part uh Red Hood uh said the lotto sicknesses says 2004 on the book yeah 2004 it was on there and I know that uh that he used it because I am going to use red hood I know he put up a portion of uh of Bryce um uh you know talking about this whole situation with his exclusive and things like that so red hood also said how can you not know that’s older gelato artwork it’s clearly early gelato artwork and again I here’s the biggest thing I don’t know if if he freaking if he um and this is where where uh when my man Red Hood actually did the image search and yeah it comes right the [ __ ] up so again I don’t know do I know 100 of this dude knows how to use image shirt uh search I I can’t tell y’all that but I mean he yeah red hood went on in here and you could you could see it from here he goes and and looks at it and yeah a little more ragno X and yeah this was from 2004 April 1st so April Fools um or 2005 it says on this but yeah his signature on here for uh the lotto if you look on the book itself is from 2004.

it’s from 2004. so he put that on there and again all these little things man it starts to look bad Optics uh Manny Comic Collector said did anyone get that ASM 15? I haven’t seen anyone claiming they got the book and then that’s another question that I wanted to get to was an ASM 15 given now I don’t [ __ ] know again I don’t see that this guy a lot of people that have done business with him have all said yo he’s a great guy to do business with everything is smooth you know whenever you’re doing business with them I don’t think this guy wants to ruin his business again shame on [ __ ] Disney Marvel delotto if they [ __ ] did some [ __ ] like this to you know and because yeah this could be the end of this guy’s business again for me I don’t ever want to see anybody’s [ __ ] demise of their business their brick and mortars whatever I don’t want to see that that’s not for me I’m sure it is this guy probably has a family that he needs to feed but when you look this up like you see a lot of signatures down here you guys are probably not gonna be able to see it on this thing but you see it right there right under there it says 2004.

it says two thousand four on there for the lot of transmission so you you can see yeah that this was owed a lot of Art and again maybe yeah just maybe Marvel Indies and uh and delotto [ __ ] this dude over and we’re like yo you know like this is what you get all right I’m still yeah I haven’t seen anybody claiming this either bro I I don’t know maybe it’s somebody that doesn’t use social media again this is where [ __ ] this is where where [ __ ] becomes bad on you know Optics wise because if there are people that don’t do you use social media somebody can go ahead and start spreading a rumor and saying like oh yeah this guy never did that AR-15 giveaway that was a lie um and hey it it is what it is man but again there was just little things in his video that were just kind of throwing me off to be honest with you and then I had to go and ask I’m not going to go off my own self and be like oh yeah guys nobody has ever had to sign an NDA with the lotto I’m actually hitting up people who have done work with the lotto who have had store exclusives with the lotto to see if I get an answer right now one person that responded to me they literally just told me that they were like yeah don’t ever work with them just try to go for the smaller companies uh pop sequentialism says we don’t know what the lotto showed Brian it seems like the bulk of the blame is on the lotto and that at worst but I got who went yeah 100 and that’s that’s another thing uh Wilbur said just guessing but I was wondering if the NDA had to do with some sort of settlement with Marvel to make things right again I could be completely wrong and yeah that’s another another case in this scenario right here uh but again for me the sales of that book right now I don’t blame this dude do that all for it that all falls upon the people that once I started to know a little bit more info on it and how his whole thing worked out his mystery box and the af15 uh giveaway or whatever that yeah that that’s when I’m like okay cool now you start yeah the blame is on the people who sell it and and the people who buy it because if you’re paying that much [ __ ] money for that book like that then I mean that’s on you but the biggest thing out of all of it is why are people buying it for those prices because it was being named as one of the rarest dellatos out there and that’s what happens with this and that is on bright that is on Broad because that was his claim that was his claim that this is the rarest gelato and that’s where [ __ ] that’s where it hurts you that’s where it hurts you uh pop sequentialism said add a language barrier in this situation and the potential for misunderstanding is exponentially increased yeah because yes again the lotto is Italian and if you guys have ever heard the man or ever seen the man or ever heard him talk I’ve had interactions with them yeah very very Italian great [ __ ] artist uh Edwin Aguilar said please give us a rebuttal on the video I lasted only four minutes of that crap so straight through him lies this is what Edwin Aguilar again there’s certain things that for me just set off alarms like you know I asked I asked International Comics himself and I could even freaking read it to you guys and shout out to him man shout out to him for giving me the time of day to answer just questions um because he even sent me uh a picture too just telling me yo this is the rarest the lotto there is so you know I just told him I said hey what’s up bro hope all is well I said I got a question pertaining to Bryce Comics I just said did you uh tell him at any point that the name of the uh the name of the Italian Spider-Man book that his cover was redone after and he just said hey I’m good man I hope you’re uh you’re well uh getting ready to cover all of this he says I think I told him the day of or the day after my post so well I I didn’t tell him I asked if he knew but then he shared the image and eBay listings and all of that and this is what international Comics told me so when this is when I start to say like okay well he’s sharing this with you so then that means he found the book he knew of the book and that’s why I started to freaking find it again fishy on his end by the things that he was saying in his video but for me like I say I’m not faulting the man for anything because could he genuinely not have known yet man there’s a lot of [ __ ] I don’t [ __ ] know there’s a lot of [ __ ] that I don’t know so I can’t sit here and be like think myself highly or higher than others when I’m not uh pop sequentialism says I kind of don’t get the big deal so many exclusives reused previously published start yeah but the biggest thing out of all of it too is is again the claims that’s what [ __ ] this up is the claim of the Rarity of this gelato when you come out and make that claim and say this is the rarest gelato that’s where the [ __ ] where everybody is like [ __ ] because you think of it yourselves guys if for myself I could speak on my own accord that if I spent five thousand dollars on this bright Comics exclusive and you’re telling me that this is the the rarest the lotto there is then right off the bat I’m gonna be I’m gonna be [ __ ] salty man because I’ll be like I paid five thousand [ __ ] dollars on this and it’s also shame on me for deciding to pay five thousand but for me I’m paying five thousand dollars because I have the mentality of like yo this is [ __ ] rare this is rare there’s only 20 copies 20 copies of that book because remember what he did he did 500 total there’s 480 that are trade dress and then 20 that are straight up Virgin and that’s where that whole Rarity Factor came out and that’s where that [ __ ] was that’s where it [ __ ] up Daniel H what’s going on said it was marketed as new exclusive artwork and thank you Daniel H for your input that’s another thing marketing you Market that [ __ ] claiming it being rare claiming it being new exclusive artwork and then you don’t know until now like you know International Comics came out and said yo this was used already and now you come out with that man I mean I’m telling you that [ __ ] just doesn’t look good doesn’t look good it looks [ __ ] horrible now and that’s what’s causing that freaking massive those massive sales on that damn book it’s the same thing for me I can go on eBay be that buyer and all of a sudden now this is all coming out into light right I can go back to eBay and say Hey listen they made claims the listing was that this was the rarest gelato book and now I’m coming to find out that this that this isn’t this was something that was already done there’s a hard there’s the there’s a regular you know there’s a regular freaking comic book with this with the same art and then there’s the hardcover that also came out with the same [ __ ] art on it it came out a while back with literally all the lotto’s artwork so that’s that’s the [ __ ] that’s [ __ ] that that’s [ __ ] this whole scenario up right here and pop said I can totally see a busy audience getting lazy and recycling old art if given the opportunity as crappy as that is yeah it’s not it’s not the greatest thing it’s not [ __ ] me because people be like ah you’re hating it’s it’s no it’s not the greatest gelato this is [ __ ] way far superior than a lot of [ __ ] that’s out there that’s like [ __ ] damn like you want to own that uh fro brother said wasn’t the artwork used on a hardcover book or something yes um isn’t this the first time it’s on a no there’s also the regular Panini comic book that had it on there too from what I’m seeing and now here’s the other crazy part about this now that book which was going for like five euros I believe on eBay now that book is [ __ ] selling for like fifty dollars for 50 [ __ ] dollars so not only did this cause that but this also caused Mass hysteria among collectors who now are like well I want the original real real [ __ ] and now yeah the book [ __ ] five euros is going for [ __ ] fifty dollars here now so that that just goes to show you hand in hand how this [ __ ] sort of starting to become and even on that end of things you who’s to say now that people went in there and were like oh I know about this let me go buy up a [ __ ] ton of these and [ __ ] get them bring them boom sell them and that’s it sell them on eBay people do that [ __ ] all the damn time people do that [ __ ] all the damn time so that could be also happening now and now you got another [ __ ] thing going on with that and for me it’s in all honesty with the way that art is I wouldn’t be I I really want to [ __ ] paying 50 trust me that is way far superior [ __ ] a lot of work than compared to that [ __ ] like that that’s that’s what I’m saying my man I’m from dating the building said interesting that the big YouTubers in the comic Community are constantly surrounded by some type of scam knowingly or unknowingly and then that’s another thing so not only does it fall on this man and the previous things that have happened with him but it all goes all together with all the big YouTubers so all the big YouTubers one way or another like I’m from data saying are surrounded by some type of scam and when that happens this guy’s got 17 000 followers if I’m not no you know something like that I think it was 17K and um 17 000 followers you know for a lot of people that’s not a lot that isn’t a lot I’m I’m miniscule man I still look at myself like that but even then though I know I’m meant for greater things and I’m [ __ ] I love what I do you know at the same time you look at that and it’s like compared to a lot of other YouTubers out there yeah like 17 000 is like a kick in the bucket for a lot of people but when it comes to comic books that’s a lot and for him to have that yeah he’s tied along the lines with the other folks too who were up there with freaking you know with uh followers and when these guys get caught up in these things this is usually what happens they come out something happens wrong then you try to save face then something else comes out you do something new in business and boom again same [ __ ] thing and how long till people start saying like bro years ago this happened and you did this and the year after that this happened and you did this and now you come out and you do this and this happens with this something’s not right it’s not the math isn’t adding up and that’s what people are going to go off of this is why I say bad Optics will forever [ __ ] haunt you especially when it comes to the world of social media YouTube all that stuff but for me like I said respectfully I spoke I spoke about this because a lot of people ask me and they said bro is there something going on with this is this you know is there something you know something fishy happening with all this crap that you know with the sales of this book and again the light was shined on it again thanks to International Comics because International Comics was the one that had the information I mean a lot of us can go back you can go look at a lot of people’s exclusives this is something that might be trending now you go and take other people’s exclusives and run it run it through the image search on Google and see if this freaking piece of art on somebody else’s exclusive already existed that could be a new trend it’s the same thing like with this whole AI [ __ ] how many things are out there that I’m like yo this [ __ ] could be AI could it be or could it not you just [ __ ] can’t tell even if you’ve run it through these programs at 100 like it’s not 100 accurate I don’t think they Anyway said it’s a business at the end of the day yeah got JLS comics in the building what’s going on uh Red Hood said uh I was pretty disappointed that nobody complimented the hard work that I put into that video I was half asleep and it took me about to [ __ ] God yo I complimented you bro I said thank you for making my homework easier as I watched the video people were like bro did you watch this and again this is what you know uh this this is what happens uh Daniel a says Panini is a European publisher for Comics yes yes it is also Panini is a blue chip Trading Card come yes it is that [ __ ] everything anything and everything panini um Brandon Metro in the building what’s going on man big salute uh he said my guts tells me Bry is a good guy the delivery guy scenario he gave bounty to him he offers more to a seller not having knowledge Rye is a stand-up guy uh kind of guy in my opinion that’s what’s up I’ve been here a listen like I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the guy I’ve never done business with him I don’t know him personally I don’t [ __ ] I don’t watch his his content not for me I remember somebody sent me a video with his one time and I was probably lasted like maybe two three minutes into it and I was like ah that was it for me so when something’s not for me it’s not for me it’s not Me Knocking him enough and there’s people that love him there’s people that love them and hey Kudos man and again if he’s a stand-up guy he’s a stand-up guy but there’s just little things that for me is like how many times can you you know can you just keep [ __ ] up and what are people going to think of you if you keep [ __ ] up and [ __ ] up and [ __ ] up and [ __ ] up people are gonna start thinking oh here we go with your lame ass excuse again that’s how people start to perceive things uh JLS says haven’t done an exclusive in a while so I don’t know if he’s still there but this seems like something David over at Marvel should have mentioned when he presented bribe with the options for the book and this is something that I’ve heard other people say too that they should have they should have you know divulged the information to him and then that’s the other scenario maybe they did and he was just kind of like well if it’s in Europe nobody’s gonna know about it put it on mine I’ll do it he’s he did say in his video that he he’s been wanting to work with delotto forever and every time he’s been trying and trying and trying it finally he got the opportunity to work for delotto because he admired the lotto a lot and you know listen a lot of us do and in the end again like I said yeah I blamed a lot on Marvel if genuinely that’s what happened if he had no idea but the whole thing with me I’m still on the fence with that whole NBA thing I’ve never heard anybody and mind you I know a lot of people that they’ll tell me the same thing and they’ve all said it I’ve never had to sign a [ __ ] NDA whether I worked with the lotto or not or whether I worked with any other artist Marvel has never made me sign an NDA for freaking for doing an exclusive I have never heard that [ __ ] ever that has to be the first time that he that I’ve heard this and I if I remember correctly he even went and made mention of that he saw on an NDA because this was Marvel’s way of saying like no you know like nobody knows where this art is coming from or some [ __ ] along those lines don’t quote me on that but when I heard that I was like huh that that just kind of made me think like so are you saying that you knew about this being the a book that was used by saying you had to sign an NDA so that or a cover should I say so that that’s where I again these are little things that I that I [ __ ] you know that that I’ll just pick up on and again to each their own man he’s doing a great job with his business you know props to him uh but my biggest thing is just like yo I hope hopefully he learns he learns that you know that you know a lot of this stuff is something that he has to be careful with when he expresses Rarity and things like that this is why for me somebody told me that hey I don’t consider this manipulation I think it was a comment on my last video talking about right um they said I wouldn’t call it manipulation when they’re you know when when somebody’s dropping the print count on something and I’m 100 out I’m gonna disagree with that because you’re manufacturing manipulate you know you’re manufacturing the numbers you’re literally causing it so yes that is I know people take the term manipulation in a bad [ __ ] you know in a bad sense but in reality manipulation that is the [ __ ] meaning of manipulation you’re manipulating numbers same thing how I’ve called cgc with their manipulation when they’re telling their staff hey you have only this a amount number of 9.8 that you can give on this book and after that no more 9.8 that’s manipulation you’re manipulating your freaking senses you’re manipulating the market because you don’t want to over flood things so when him taking these books or anybody out there for this you know for this matter takes a book and myself if I did it it is me manipulating I’m manipulating the [ __ ] Market because I’m causing this to become a scarcity it’s the same thing like how he took a thousand copies of a book got a 10.0 and all of a sudden takes 999 copies and supposedly has them destroyed by cgc with him only having that one Soul 10.0 of the book that he was talking about that is manipulation manipulating it’s the same thing like me coming on YouTube and telling all you guys this is the next hottest book out there and I hold 40 boxes full of this and I just start putting it out there for you guys to buy up that’s me manipulating the market anything that you are doing to change numbers to change absolutely anything allowing people to say hey this is literally how many of these copies exist that is manipulating the market there’s no other explanation to it that is straight up freaking manipulation so Kingdom of nurse said is Brian the one selling these books on eBay or he has nothing to do he has nothing to do with that that’s why I said he has nothing to do with that Lord of BK man what’s up my brother he said thorough has a stack of the Bride exclusive in that box to the right yeah dude I I didn’t even have an idea of that book man I I didn’t even have an idea of that book I I for me I’ve already said it I stay away unless if there’s something I’m like even then I’m like so hesitant right now to want to pull the trigger because it might end up in Walmart packs or [ __ ] Five Below packs or freaking Ollies or some [ __ ] see and late night what’s going on said I think the buyers wanted it to be rare too easy flip this game Market is yeah of course of course 100 you’re on the point you know what I’m saying like you’re on point with it Jay Nunya said that’s huge numbers in the comic Community for the set oh yeah for his followers yeah that’s what I’m saying you know like I’m not yo that ass I I hope people because people with that whole like oh you’re a hater that’s not the only thing I’ve ever hated in this game is the same thing I hated when I was in the sneaker game it’s the manipulation of [ __ ] and the way that people love to [ __ ] put [ __ ] out there and you know what I mean like causing just just hyping [ __ ] up for no good reason and trust me there’s people that that out there and YouTube IG Facebook that I have seen will make claims all day long that they’re not about that [ __ ] and trust me I have seen it I’ve seen it there’s a lot of [ __ ] that I know that I can expose people on and I chose not to because in the end I [ __ ] know these people have families and mouths to feed even though that they’re wrong in my personal opinion everything will come back and haunt you and this is why you start to see the demise of a lot of stuff with people you start to see people pretty much losing their businesses because they’re all about the quick dollar instead of [ __ ] being the turtle in the rabbit race and that’s how you’re seeing things functioning nowadays so it’s it’s freaking it’s crazy it’s crazy how it is now but that’s how it is Jayla said I managed to have 42k Subs without any controversial it’s possible of course yeah it’s all about how much content you put out people like you for me I’m just [ __ ] gonna be brutally honest about things I’m not going to retract anything I say I’m not gonna [ __ ] hide anything I’m not I don’t shy away from nothing so that works against me I know that for a fact I know that for a fact but it is what it is I’ve rather people come and tell me the god honest truth than to [ __ ] lie to me that’s just how I function um um well man fun house Comics was going on how look how how one how unlucky can one guy be I I don’t know man uh Kingdom of nurse says I don’t think uh will have any effect on bride because he has 17 000 followers and they all take his word over others and that’s it that’s what it’s going to be that’s why I said if you put if you you know if if technically if you like somebody so much you know you’re always going to take their word over anybody else’s like that’s how it is this this is what happens with you know Human Nature if you’re part of my circle you’re gonna look at me unless you’re a real one and call me out of my [ __ ] then you call me out and that’s that’s what it is but majority of people because you want to be a part of something you’re always going to ride for that person so it’s never going to look bad you know it’s always going to be like oh hell no he is never he is an outstanding person he is upstanding he stands for the best of the best he’s transparent he’s honest he’s this he’s that that’s what they’re always gonna [ __ ] see themselves and they’re going to believe they’re gonna see that you can’t do no wrong tapping with people like I said there’s people and whatnot how many people complain about what not and how many people do you still see people going on there and buying from that said person right you see it all the damn time because they believe in them they believe in that product they they know so it is what it is I like I tell everybody I don’t I’m not here to discourage you or if you like Bryce follow the man yo he seems like like a [ __ ] upstanding person from what I’m hearing I don’t know him personally I don’t know him and that’s that’s the thing that’s why I said I can never say that until I freaking truly get to know and I have conversations I can say something about Matt Kennedy because I’ve had conversations behind the scene whether it hasn’t been in person we’ve been on camera having conversations behind the scenes from multiple hours so I can speak about Matt you know Matt and his character and who he is I could speak about my man Red Hood because I’ve done the same with him until his wife comes down and he and she’s like yo gives them the look and it’s like you better get your ass upstairs before I whoop your ass red hood like that’s what that is so that that’s this is the things that I say man Rob T said watch we see Jim mink comic Tom and Bryce Comics selling the 2004 gelato in their next auctions wouldn’t surprise me man would not surprise me Constantino what’s going on my brother he said late to the party you’re never late man you can always you can always re-watch late night said thoughts on private conversations leaking out as receipts listen some people are gonna start making claims again this is where it goes along those lines people are going to start claiming that those shits were made up people are going to start claiming that it’s AI people are going to start claiming all kind of [ __ ] people are going to start claiming it was aliens if somebody believes in somebody enough even if you have the receipts they’re always going to look at you as being a hater that you’re trying to [ __ ] run you know write off of their coattails because they got a big following or whatever the case no that’s that’s all it really is my wife my wife’s giving me the look already because I’m supposed to be upstairs it’s already 6 45 totally give me 10 more minutes no get out of here ain’t no lovey-dovey stuff here on this channel bro give me a kiss nope bye get out of here oh yeah remember when I told you see look how white she is and I would say that that she’s not yeah and she’s Dominican so she’s crazy but yeah that’s what I was talking about earlier in diversity so when we go back to the diversity course that’s that’s what I’m talking about all right um so yeah so as far as that late night going back to the subject here that’s yeah that does it doesn’t matter how many receipts you have man there’s people that are gonna finally again the people that are going to end up believing you is the people you know and this is just using Brian’s name right if bride does somebody dirty now they’re gonna come back and I’m gonna be like oh ah now I see now I see why you put those receipts up now I believe those receipts but then right now you’re gonna have people yeah he has a big following that are not going to believe it they love them they love them and that’s that’s okay man I’m not you know I’m not here to tell anybody don’t love them don’t do that same thing with like with Jim mint when you know he made that sorry ass excuse video that he did back then receipt to E2 and I called him out on that [ __ ] it’s the same thing over there that dude got a gigantic following does that stop people from going over the last time no people make their own decisions and they’ll be like yo I love Jim mint and then you know love love gem mint oh you want that’s it that’s it Charlie Moore says speaking of scandals how’s that Black Flag dude I honestly don’t know he said he was making a comeback he’s making a comeback so we’ll see what a big case said Brian’s going to put a bounty on Joshua revealing this European exclusively oh for real for real you never know you never freaking know my man cfap in the building what’s going on cfap uh brief saying do you guys think that they told Bry and he knew if he mentioned that it might dilute his product and just play dumb yo these are a lot of questions man that you guys have a questions that I have I mean you know and I know a lot of people be like hey you know reach out to him talk to him and again he could disregard if I send a message for all I know I don’t [ __ ] know I’m not you know anytime I don’t want to do this because it was the same way that I did [ __ ] the the interview with nerdy girl you can only go to a certain extent I know with a certain extent because everybody wanted me go full on Savage yo if I go on full-on Savage mode with anybody full on Savage mode and I’m putting you under that hot [ __ ] detective light you are gonna [ __ ] run away quick as [ __ ] because when I had to do it in my profession and talk to somebody these [ __ ] are squirming with handcuffs on and they want to get the [ __ ] out of there as quick as possible what are people to be honest with you what do y’all think is going to happen if I were to put this guy through a series of questions the way that I did back in the days he would [ __ ] want to run out of there and be like okay or you have some people that’ll say hey what are the questions that you can ask me I need to I need to go ahead and I need to know what questions you’re going to ask me right off the bat and if I ask them something they might be like yeah you can’t ask me that and guess what happens with me I can’t ask him that so then what what happens with me is they’re gonna say yo Bro you’ve written in and go for a Savage mode you didn’t do this you didn’t do that again I didn’t care what people thought at that point because I could only go to a certain extent but the only thing I truly was doing with that was what nerdy girl was like it was almost becoming like okay I invite who else the rest of the gang that’s from there and it becomes like an apology tour for the [ __ ] that I’m not doing that not doing that vintage comics and toys say he’s doing another mystery box like this for September so let’s see what he what he makes mention of on this mystery box for September does he say oh I got the rarest [ __ ] matina who the [ __ ] knows like this again this is me being hypothetical Reef said I give props to the guys that spent 250 on a mystery box took a Gamble and made money on the Delotta book and again that’s what I said like yo if you made money off of it yo hey it is what it is vintage said no the lotto but same concept so again that’s manipulating numbers if he’s doing the same thing again what is he gonna do 20 virgins and then the rest freaking trade dress and go around the same way is that really true value versus books that genuinely when they were manufactured they were low number from the jump that for me is books that I’m like those are books I always hunt for those are books that I have back here that people are like where the [ __ ] did you get that where the hell have you seen this books that I’ll talk about on the freaking on my Savage Hunt that I’ll say yo here you go guys here’s book that was manufactured that you genuinely want to be on the lookout for that is really [ __ ] scarce that is rare or whatever the case that’s yeah that’s that’s what I’ll freaking you know that’s what I honestly believe is is a rarity like these things were like exclusives exclusives you really can’t call Rarities yo because you’re making it an exclusive they’re not Rarities because you’re not just giving it to people that attend a con anymore it’s made available to everybody on what not on eBay live on [ __ ] whatever damn uh freaking platform there is now late night said um cgc wins uh wins whether there’s drama or not great business same thing with cgc if people like cgc am I going to convince them to go [ __ ] go to cbcs no they’re going to stay with [ __ ] cgc and no matter what you say about [ __ ] cgc they’re still gonna [ __ ] send in the books to cgc no matter all the [ __ ] that comes out from them all that [ __ ] Newton Rings [ __ ] [ __ ] the books hair all that [ __ ] they don’t care that’s the thing JLS said destroyed until we hear about Warehouse fines in a year or two and that’s exactly it G money Rock say yo I just hit rewind LOL so my comments might be out of place and it’s brought pulling off some skeezy manipulation crap with the comics that’s something that again like I said you guys be your own judge I know what like for myself what I what I feel is is at hand with hair when you’re playing with numbers the everyday non-expert what’s going on said is it manipulation to point out a cool cover people who might have otherwise not been aware of would buy it and that could change the numbers hey very well man very well [ __ ] said too and there’s a lot man there’s you know this this has been something that’s been going on but again you know manipulation comes in so many [ __ ] forms manipulation comes in so many factors Wilbur said anytime uh you start getting cute with stuff and acting too cool for school you’re walking a fine line and it’s real easy to step on your own tail the lesson is stay humble and trust but verified all right yeah [ __ ] very well said bro very [ __ ] well said brief said by gold silver copper folks that’s all I have to say oh brother Reef trust me I’m already there I’m already there man that’s something I I love my comic books folks but uh until what extent man like you know it’s pieces of paper and I always say this you’re a temporary owner you know you can’t take this [ __ ] to your grave even if you wanted to your family will be [ __ ] thinking you’re like special or something and they’d be like what do you mean you want to get buried with all your comics it’s not gonna be a casket big enough that’s it that’s just the reality of things you’re a temporary owner you have them right here while you’re here you’re never guarantee tomorrow you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow Hector Ortiz said the whole YouTuber exclusive thing has been laughable from day one to me it’s the people that buy the exclusives that irritate the hell out of me and again these are people that yes like I say they believe in the person they believe in the product when you stop believing in those things yeah you’re gonna go for it and I’ve had people ask me hey bro are you ever going to do an exclusive bro if I do an exclusive I’d just rather take all the money from like the you know like the super chats and everything that you guys give me and I appreciate you guys a ton for that I’ll take that and I’ll use that printed out and I’ll just [ __ ] give them away here on the channel if I do an exclusive and then at that point if y’all sell it I’ll sell it man I you know what else can I tell you there’s nothing else I could I could tell you you know um peek Hill said I honestly I do not an opinion on exclusive if it’s your thing buy it yeah that’s pretty much what it comes down to man MG said 10 more minutes oh man that’s [ __ ] funny and G said I gotta pay my bills wait what did gentlemen do oh man that guy you could watch you could watch my reaction to his video it’s on there just go check it out I still have people commenting on that damn thing they’re like yo uh Daniel H said uh just finished watching the video he’s being honest but does a lot of deflecting in the second half avoiding the fact that he tried to manufacture fomo yeah I’m gonna check out this second video I have no idea man pop sequentialism says someday the whole nerdy girl story will be told yeah who the hell knows man Brandon Metro said I think if we call out we’ll end up here at Christmas like last year Chris says later to rest yo that’s literally what it is Abbott collectible Market is all about manipulation it’s been weird how Comics that have print runs of hundreds of thousands are so rare while people sitting on boxes of keys I just watch my own part that’s really what you got to do man I appreciate that David yeah like I said if you if you like somebody I’m not discouraging you guys I’m not going to take you away from who you like and what you buy if you guys love exclusives buy them that’s what makes y’all happy bro don’t don’t don’t take my you know my personal accounts I go off of my own personal [ __ ] and why I feel like certain things this is why I said the only thing I wish that you guys would go away that would take away from uh what I talk about is that please stop looking at these things as Investments they are pieces of paper they can go on fire they can disintegrate there’s a lot of [ __ ] that can happen to them yeah pieces of paper that yes once again they are a [ __ ] gamble especially with today’s [ __ ] [ __ ] that’s coming out it is a gamble I took a gamble on tosin I took a gamble on spiderboy that’s why I say it it is not a [ __ ] investment and all this stuff where I see people constantly talking about Blue Chip books and this there is no such thing as Blue Chip books all right and I wouldn’t even call these [ __ ] things Blue Chip because even like freaking Detective Comics 27 those things all fluctuate in prices they were Blue Chip them shits would be going through the roof every [ __ ] time they would never come down every damn time just goes with the economy that’s why I said I don’t believe in that whole Blue Chip hoopla Rob T said all my relatives from Italy so it might be time to send them Savage hunting for their life yeah you might as well there’s a ton of stuff out there I have people man there’s people that I know one of my boys was in the military it’s located on Germany he’s the one that has hooked me up with [ __ ] that was coming out there exclusively that don’t even come out over here he’s the one that’s [ __ ] found stuff for me so I appreciate him for doing what he does and I’m telling you there’s a lot of stuff out there that yes has not been here in the states and that you’ll be like oh damn this is cool this is dope and we have no [ __ ] clue of it Geo said I got a good rare I got is this Marvel Comics presents number one from 2007 I don’t see anyone talk about it and it’s such a good comic book that’s what’s up if I’m thinking of what the hell it is I have an idea of that damn old Comics presents are you talking about um let me see my man cfap said I got books you talked about and they blow yo listen the books I talk about here you pick them up if you want to my biggest thing is you’re taking a gamble on something for five bucks you’re not taking a gamble on anything for a hundred thousand dollars I can go with that [ __ ] all day long silver age how many people have not talked about silver Age golden age Bronze Age [ __ ] absolutely everybody uh that’s why I don’t do stuff on that because it’s it’s it’s [ __ ] for me it’s pointless because you all know about it I think everybody is well educated enough to understand what books are which I I can’t sit here and be like oh all right guys let me go ahead and um and talk about today’s book and we’re gonna go ahead and and um you know we’re gonna we’re gonna make an investment on this uh you know [ __ ] Spider-Man number one I mean it’s like come on and that’s why I just look for books that I know like I’ll go and read and [ __ ] find you know thanks to comicron for putting out numbers out there like all that stuff that’s how I find books that’s how I get my information going comicron and they give you the print count on a lot of these books and that’s where I go and I’m like yo this is crazy this is [ __ ] crazy low there’s only 5 000 copies there’s only ten thousand there’s only twenty so on and so forth um Binky said it’s still hilarious to me everyone blames bride what he’s doing is no different than any other exclusive out there I don’t hear anyone trying to set Trinity on fire for this 600 print count stuff dude and this yo and it’s not even just that the reason why I’m talking about Bry is because people are asking me about it what do I think of this there’s so many [ __ ] people how many times have I called out uh [ __ ] ton of people and all the [ __ ] that they’re [ __ ] doing out there and then of course everybody’s like okay you’re starting controversy you’re starting this you’re you’re [ __ ] inciting a riot you’re inciting this you’re inside man [ __ ] out of here it’s just the reality of [ __ ] things that’s why I just talk all [ __ ] day long about the same [ __ ] the bad thing is that is the things that people say and then all of a sudden boom that’s what it was here it was where they were saying hey this is the rarest gelato ever mind you once again the rarest gelato is a one of one that I don’t even know if somebody broke it broke it out of a [ __ ] out of a packet or not and that’s that’s the biggest question that’s the one out of Italy for anybody that bought any of those packs those Panini packs for Spider-Man one Miles Morales and that’s that’s what it is it’s like the claims that are being made that’s what [ __ ] drives me personally [ __ ] nuts the claims that are being made on a lot of these books trust me it’s all over the [ __ ] place he’s not this the only one the [ __ ] that I see and whatnot the [ __ ] that I see absolutely everywhere it’s [ __ ] it’s astronomical to me what the [ __ ] happens again I don’t blame him for what’s going on on the secondary Market as far as the book because that’s not on him it’s the people that won the books from him from his mystery boxes and they all went and sold all of them so if they’re selling them then that means guess what he’s not at full for that you know that’s something that I said right off the bat again there’s a lot of stuff that this guy’s not at fault at if he didn’t genuinely know the only thing that I question is that whole NBA thing that whole nd8 like I had to sign an NDA to get something through Marvel and the lotto I’ve asked a lot of people out there who have done exclusives from Marvel and not a single one of them said I have not had to sign an NBA asking people right now who have worked and gotten stuff done with delotto to see what the responses are did you have to sign a [ __ ] NDA you’ve never heard anybody have to sign a [ __ ] NDA in reference to this this is this is [ __ ] uh you know this is something that 100 I can go ahead and say that yeah we don’t know exactly what the [ __ ] happened if this dude is lying this is the [ __ ] that I don’t like it’s like okay start lying about things then you lie about something else and you lie about something and it’s like come on bro and then you claim to be transparent and all this that and the dirt that’s what [ __ ] bothers me out of all of it other than that yeah there’s other people that do [ __ ] out there too guess what they reach out to me and be like why are you talking about me I didn’t give you permission to talk about me I didn’t do this man [ __ ] you could talk about me if you want to that’s that’s the right about for everybody everybody could talk about anybody I’ve heard I’ve I’ve had people talk about me plenty occasions I’m not gonna go there hey talk about me I appreciate it is what it is uh I don’t like comic says uh Earl please don’t blame Italian artists or they sell the work to companies managing contractors we don’t know the uh real truth about the people in charge to manipulate people for money yeah and that’s the thing I’m not blaming him solely because the way he’s making it sound is like okay I had to sign an NDA between me Marvel and the lotto so if the lotto was included in there then he has freaking you know then he has common knowledge that okay yeah I I you know they’re making me sign an NDA because nobody needs to know where I got this art from and yeah at that point yeah we have to include that man in there because if he’s on there and he’s signing off and his name is on this contract then guess what he has knowledge of it same thing like bride the bride [ __ ] have knowledge of this [ __ ] work being pre-existing 100 yeah he probably does and he’s probably [ __ ] coming out and saying what he’s saying I mean it is what it is but again it’s it you know it’s it’s the craziness like I said I don’t blame him for selling his his things it’s just that claim of this is the rarest this is the rarest he made that claim nobody out there can sit there and say yo Brian did not make that claim that this is the rarest gelato ever that’s where he hemmed himself up and it’s like man to make a claim like that yo that’s a hell of a claim bro a hell of a claim I can’t trust any print run that is not numbered can’t even trust COA anymore no even co-as get [ __ ] uh y’all seem to [ __ ] up I covered that on the channel here before seeing that [ __ ] up that they did they printed like [ __ ] doubles of certificates and they were like yo there’s only a thousand copies of whatever the [ __ ] it was so then I’m like maybe there’s two thousand and I can’t remember what book it was and they got [ __ ] mad at me and yo like yo why are you saying this we didn’t we didn’t do this I’m like bro y’all [ __ ] put something with the same serial number in the damn [ __ ] book so it’s yeah I’m telling you it it’s it’s a hell of a [ __ ] thing again I’ve always said this put the name put the number of the [ __ ] book on the book itself and you will never have [ __ ] issues you will never have issues because then at that point guess what else happens if you have [ __ ] 10 000 copies of a book and in those ten thousand you get two numbered 888 then guess who you can blame you can blame the manufacturer because they [ __ ] up nobody can even blame you anymore Danny Way said if people took a better look at census Council they’ve realized all these keys aren’t rare and that too and even the census I don’t believe unfortunately Daniel fortunately I’m gonna have to tell you I don’t even believe the census because the census is even [ __ ] a a [ __ ] piece of work in itself Wilbur said Mark the tape Daryl just said tosin spider boy is the lead pipe Locker you know I took a gamble on that [ __ ] I don’t even know if it’s gonna it was gonna [ __ ] pan out or not pique said exactly then hook 21 is not rare just in the men and that’s another one that’s another one how many of those things are [ __ ] uh are being you know are being uh freaking slapped dude I was like damn near every Hulk 181 that exists a slap Binky said yo those Panini oh bro those Panini packs I don’t I don’t think they were suspect uh it’s like [ __ ] it when you open them bro it it’s so [ __ ] shitty because anybody that you know I got my four packs I was I was fine with my four packs I paid the price that I paid for which is 20 a piece and guess what I opened I took a gamble I got nothing but those [ __ ] eight covers that’s all I got that’s all I got and I’ve seen a lot of people break I’ve seen some people with a [ __ ] ton of pads I know like International Comics told me he had like people like 40 packs and all 40 were all the eight covers not a single one of them was this was anything special so that you know it is crazy it is crazy is crazy Shelby said I remember winning an early Brides Comics giveaway I don’t recall ever getting it damn so this is all it takes this is all it takes so chubby pop chaser saying yo I want an early Brides Comics giveaway I don’t recall ever getting it so it takes things like this for somebody to start losing trust in somebody I know that there’s somebody in England who I tried I don’t know if I put the address wrong I don’t know what the [ __ ] I did it was must have been something but if I put the address wrong then that [ __ ] should have never gone through USPS it was a Star Wars book and I did a giveaway on here and I still have that [ __ ] star I don’t know where the [ __ ] it is somewhere here I did the [ __ ] giveaway they sent me back mind you I spent freaking what was it 34 I think it was to send that [ __ ] one book out or or set or whatever the [ __ ] it was [ __ ] send that out that [ __ ] comes back to me like seven months after so who the hell knows I don’t know chubby I don’t know I I [ __ ] I can’t I I don’t know what to say but I know from my personal account that’s what happened and I’m sure that person in England is probably like yo this thorough [ __ ] didn’t send me my [ __ ] and they even were like were like yo I was like no it’s a giveaway I’ll pay for it I sent that out [ __ ] thing [ __ ] comes back to me I think it was like six seven months after the fact and I’m there thinking like yo this person in England I was like yo they’re gonna be happy they got this damn Star Wars book cool yeah okay [ __ ] it I’m there I’m like what the hell is this even my wife was like yo what is this and I was like damn I was like I sent this [ __ ] [ __ ] forever ago Lord of BK said Hulk 181 is rare by Collective standards when you factor in age condition and the lack of mass archival products in the 70s but then here’s the other big thing too Lord of BK rare rare as in how because where I see Rarity is in the greats majority of it in the grades man that’s that’s where the Rarity Factor comes in more than anything you know Mighty ml V what’s up bro he said LOL there is he said a 101 gelato in those Italian models yeah that that’s that one man that was that was the one right there and Cat and mighty melvey says senses don’t count cracks everything yeah that’s what I said I don’t trust that [ __ ] senses the senses doesn’t yo you know how many blue labels I’ve had I don’t even know if I’ve kept them shits I think I threw them in the garbage when I was slabbing you know how many of them [ __ ] things I had like stacks for [ __ ] resubmitting repressing resubmitting doing all that [ __ ] so that census is [ __ ] mad off like I I can’t [ __ ] I can’t Vibe with that census and I am going to get in trouble but I’m about to go I’m about to go there right now Beyond what’s the [ __ ] aliens what’s up yo um yo this this is this is what I say though my biggest thing is like in the end like I said I don’t blame them for the sales of these books that that goes on the people that that one from him and got them and so on and so forth my biggest thing is just like that whole NDA thing which smells like fish to me and then because of a lot of people that I reached out to I’m still waiting for some more responses I promise I’ll share it with y’all I’m waiting to see I literally contacted several people via email who have had work done with the lotto and Marvel and I asked them straight up up front they’ll see they’ll see my email my email carries keep it thorough Comics uh I asked them I received one response one response was like they just said don’t ever do any work with marvel at DC that’s all they told me that’s that’s all they told me so that’s that’s why for me I’d I’ll tell you how to write the [ __ ] now I you know that’s all I see where where this is going I’m gonna watch the second video again I don’t know how far bro and it’s like this is where I sit and I say honesty is your best friend just [ __ ] be honest from the [ __ ] jump and you know but again
