You're usually on the ball but the elseworld's 80 page giant you displayed is not the recalled original. It's the reprint from 2011. The real one has the older DC bullet logo and isn't prestige format. Big difference in values. 👍
beat me to it.....
Beat me too. Totally off the mark, wrong logo and everything.
Great video. Great information. I think Action comics issue 595 The first appearance of Silver Banshee is an underrated comic book.
The #1 under rated DC key would be... Justice League Of America, the first appearance of.... THE KEY!
Facts, I been buying up a few for great deals the last year or so. Underrated villain imo
I have been waiting for a DC key video thank you! Please share more when you can my friend
You deserve OVER one million subscribers.
I recently picked up that Chuck Dickson Nightwing #1 for $25. Also picked up an Action Comics 471 for a buck at the spot I buy bulk at. Didn’t even know that 471 was a key, I can’t help but pick up any Superman covers that are cool.
Yes, granted that your channel is called Mint-Hunter, but I always find it interesting that you go out of your way to get the cleanest possible copies for your pc.
I’m waiting for the market to sink even more and CGC to be less of a thing so I can find raw copies that aren’t falling apart but aren’t anywhere near mint. Primarily because I don’t have the money for mint books.
Guess I’m a low-grade is better than no grade guy.
ANOTHER KEWL VIDEO LOVE THE OLD COMICS AND THE CAP GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every small key I have ever bought has become a major key 5-10 years down the road. It’s an investment!!!
Not a DC guy, but I was pleased to see I have at least a dozen of your key books. Thank you.
One of my favorite underrated keys is Doorway to Nightmare #1, the first appearance of Madame Xanadu. I feel like a lot of the mystical characters seem to be gaining popularity and it could have some value in the future
For me, there are industry dictated keys and books that may be a key just to me for one reason or another. I just don't sticker my keys. Only industry dictated keys. Like, anything with Morbius in it is a key. Simply because he's in it.
Wonderful!
That first jack nimball Toyman is so good. I like how they introduced him as a new Toyman who straight up murders Winslow Scott, instead of just ignoring Winslow Scott’s continuity and rebooting the Toyman character. Pretty edgy for the time.
My favorite underrated DC books are actually minor characters like Captain Atom, Firestar, and Blue Devil. Most of those series have some decent minor keys in them, but can be found in $1 bins periodically.
Good stuff. Love that you cover dc
Recently found in a FLCS box for about $35 a nice copy of Justice League of America #43. The 1st appearance of the Royal Flush Gang. Finding cheap silver age goodness like that in the wild is a beautiful thing.
literally was just thinking how much I want another underrated DC keys video! thanks for satisfying my cravings, good timing.
Ahh my favorite type of videos this is my wheelhouse
Any of the silver age appearances of Hawkman...especially in The Brave and The Bold appearnces is underrated.
Nice mix of comics here James. Kyle Baker's story in the Elseworlds Giant is a great example of DC's management panicking over nothing - ironically, Baker won the Best Short Story Eisner Award for the story.
I've been really after Flash keys, a lot are super cheap. Some of my favorites I've collected are first appearance of Heat Wave, Walter West/Dark Flash, Black Flash, Rainbow Raider
Love Chuck Dixon. Robin and Batgirl Year One are underrated.
Any of the 100 Page giants from the 70s have some flair and occasionally some significance!
Very informative!
Awesome books and I thought we were going to not here about something green lantern😅😅😅
Did you forget about pressing tutorial video? Waiting for this so much.
Perfect video love the content! I learned a lot especially the Action Comics! I heard that Spawn issues that came out during the Covid epidemic are hard to come buy. Do you know about any Marvel or DC Comics during Covid are hard to get?
Thanks again! I keep on hunting for comics that are just a little beyond my reach.
Oh oh oh that Batman Superman Else World comic I have never seen!!!!😮
Your DC knowledge is awesome. I know plenty of Marvel and some DC so I always pick up DC history or relevant information based on your experience with DC. Great vids man.
Just found your channel. Thank you, i enjoyed your views on these books lol
Ive always wander why adventure comics 462 death of e2 batman that was a key book for me but lovely cover that action 285 when supergirl is revealed to world one of my favourite covers in my collection
For underrated and undervalued DC, I like New Teen Titans Annual 2 (1st Vigilante) and Firestorm 1 (1st Firestorm).
If everything is a KEY issue, nothing is.
I have that 80 pg. Elseworlds as well....didn't realize I got up to 300
a lot of those books are on my want list, I keep saying now is the time to pick up DC keys. I love how you make lists of the underrated or unknown keys. One of my favorites from you is Detective Comics #599 1st appearance of Henri Ducard.
Wow nice, some of these I’ve seen and some never even thought of to be of interest. I know what I’ll be looking for on the next hunt.
Man of steel 17 and 18 come to mind
Although only those lol
I have the same nightwing 1 in a 9.6
James you basically pulled out my comic book wishlist, I love the bat family and I’m starting to get more into Superman so this was awesome. Keep up the great content!
Some great keys there,love anything to do with the losh,my fav superteam
I love the rare and under rated DC keys!
I was at my local shop and I asked for Flash 181. The guy was like "is that a key?" I was like "not a key anyone cares about but me" - second appearance of the samuroids.
Underrated keys, or even just older books, are always fun to look at.
That Rage of the Red Lanterns is the 1st and third printings....I have all three. Sketch 3rd printing being the most valuable
Omega Men #2 has the cover for #3 in the letters page. Can be considered a cameo of Lobo? Depends on the reader….
Thinking about going back to Legion issues and work on run again...have most Adventure Comics #300 up plus few misc previous, Superboy and first direct Legion issues but none after 1990....always one of my favorite titles as a kid...
Yes me too best runs of the legion after adventure comics 380 was the run in superboy from 195 with the dave cockrum Mike grell runs and later the Keith giffen run
That Harley and Ivy cover is by Bruce Timm, co-creator of Batman TAS. Big fan of his art and covers!
I think Yara Flor is underrated big time and deserves a bigger spotlight. But that book is really only a couple years old so maybe it's not fair to stick her first appearance in this conversation. Otherwise I submit Saga of the Swamp Thing #49 and #50 for their unofficial 1st cameo and 1st full appearances of Justice League Dark.
Nice Keys!!
I told my LCS a year ago that DC will overtake Marvel in the market and he thought I was a fool. Just look now. Dc is on the rise.
early!!! Love the content!!
I like Tracy 13. But my underrated is rose/thorn
I think a lot of silver/bronze aged Action Comics/Adventure Comics/Superman/Superboy comic keys are underrated and undervalued. Superman keys will have their day again someday.
How do you find the values of those Free Comic Book Day books. I have the one with the first appearance od Simon Baz.
so is that first human target gonna be in a claim sell? lol been looking for a good copy
Action comics 252 is pricey in any stabbed grade. Back in November, I got $1200 for a stabbed 3.0
Big question. When should you sell comic??
What issue # is the Superman action comics ?
Batman 457: I may be wrong, but I believe that's not the 1st Tim Drake in Robin suit. I think it's the 1st appearance of the new Robin costume (no more green short-shorts or bright yellow cape).
You are correct. I recently picked up 457 (new costume with the two-toned black/yellow cape) along with 442 (first Tim in classic costume) and 436 (first app. of Tim, himself).
Watches that matrix detective comics going for I like that cover roughly average price I want to find that one
That DC Elseworld is a reprint. The rare version doesn't have the #1 on the cover.
Surprised you had no Green Lantern low key -keys
What are your thoughts on the new Spider-Boy character? Is it a key worth picking up?
Personally for me.I wont pick up spider boy especially at the high price it is in right now.Rather get a Spiderman 2099#1
At retail price if you did not now imo
are any of these going to be in your claim sale?
1 app of superman for Banshee
HOW ABOUT THE DEATH OF GOLDEN AGE BATMAN????
you selling these sunday?
sounds like a big storm in the background:(
LMAO was the original owner of that comic jealous of superman.....you decide!! 🤣
Hey
What's up
I'm looking for
A solid copy of
The classic series
From Amalgam Comics
I'm talking about Iron Lantern #3
Anybody help me out.
You mean DC actually has keys? 😆
Once again you are using those "Key Issue" stickers way to liberally.
Hey. If websites, apps, and the industry says it's a key , then it's a 🔑
What did I just hear? Arkham Knight a good video game? Game was such a let down.
I have that elseworlds.. that one you have is not the original..you can tell by the front.. yours says 100 page and the valuable one is the 80 page..$40 - 60 bucks tops..
