Cool. We should be going live. We just wait for confirmation, and there we are. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Good morning, everyone. Hope you're doing well. Today is August 20th, 2020. We're almost at the end of the summer. We'll go one more month to go, but wow, this year has been crazy. Summer's just flown by, right? And we're doing an unscheduled live stream, and it's a comic book haul, live stream. Uncharted A's. How are you doing? I'm doing well. It's a little chilly here today. I'm wearing my tuk, the tuk is back. Without the summer being over, the tuk is already back. So it's a little chilly, it's raining. It's nice though. It is nice, for sure, for sure. Basically, I had a comic book haul come in yesterday, and there was actually another care package that came in yesterday as well. So we're gonna do a comic book haul, live stream. I'm unboxing, and I'm gonna do a care package opening that has been sent to us from Ripper, and he requested someone in Portugal to send it to us. So this thing's come its way through Portugal. I just picked up my comics from my poll list just before we went live. Awesome, awesome. You're day late. You picked it up on Thursday. They come out in my area. Well, DC's, what do you call her? They're shipping on Tuesdays now. Marvel, everybody else is on Wednesday. Sometimes there's delays, of course, there's holidays and stuff. Slick Mick, finally. Back able to catch a stream. Awesome, slick. Awesome. Hope you're doing well. Aren't you tired of days? What's on your poll list? Baron13. How are you doing? Wow, I'm actually home and not working for a stream. Almost always cash them on YouTube afterwards. Okay, awesome. Great to have you. Being home and doing a comic book live stream is a great thing. Comics, nights of old comics. How are you doing? Congrats on the power pack full set. Power pack full set. Wait a second. Who got the power pack full set? Our pack full set. Is that on Charity Days? I don't think I have the power pack full set. Should have gone yesterday, but was busy working. Yeah, it happens, right? It happens. I'm actually gonna go to the comic comic store, one of the other comic book store, not where my poll list is, today, because someone, my partner, sent me an article in your box. You're saying it's a power pack full set. It's not a power pack full set. It's something else full set. I'll tell you what it is. It's image comics that I ended up picking up, but I'll show you what they are. I'll show you what they are. But I'm going to be going to one of my other comic book stores that I go to that the guy, his storage, the comic book owner, the place where he has his comics. That's what the article said. The store space is being turned into condos, so he had to bring all his comic books, boxes to the store, and it's overwhelming him. So he's going to be putting up a whole bunch of 1980s and 90s Batman comics for 25 cents a pop in like, I'm assuming they're not bagged or bordering things, like a dollar bin, but 25 cents bin. So I'm going to try to go there today and see what I can find. I might just go in there and just say, I'll take that box and bring it home and do a 25 cent comic book haul live stream or something. We'll see. We'll see. Slick make last, last comic stream or was able to catch some troll ask if Chichu was too old for, oh yeah, that one. You are never too old for comics. It's like, are you too old to read? What? Are you too old to appreciate art? What? Like, it had to be a troll, right? No one, no one of a sane mind would even ask such a question, I think. Good morning, Chichu. Spider-Man, how are you doing? You're unpacking now, yeah? You moved yesterday. Been picking up X-Men, coffin bound, cool, cool, cool, Batman grave, and a lot of that, Valiant's nice. Valiant hasn't been shipping that much, so I picked up Rai yesterday. Rai came out yesterday. I picked up, picked up, what did I pick up? Thor number six, because it's Thor's hammer with infinity gems on. Just over the top, right? I picked up some other comics as well. Did you get your paper girl? He found it. I messaged, by the way, a nice little comic. I messaged the seller, and he was like, oh, I doubt it if it's here, because I wouldn't do that. Like, why would I ship a bunch of comics without number two being in there? I go, dude, it's not here. I don't know how to, you know, I hope it's there, because if it's not there, it's not here. Where is it? Right? And then he went checked, and he goes, oh yeah, it's here. I'm like, dude, and he's sending it to me. So it's on his way to me, which is unfortunate, right?  So, and he included, yeah, included tracking on this too. So I guess this costs him a little bit. At least he charged way too much for shipping, like way too much. And Dark Age, nice, nice. Dark Age is aftershock, isn't it? Always pleased to catch a live stream, Wreckner, especially during the beginning of my work days, so I can listen in the background also. I had a 60 year old English teacher who adored Batman and loves Gregia, Greg Capula. Greg Capula. Fantastic art. I'm unpacking my life away, literally as we speak. Just did some laundry, nice. Unpacking is fun. Packing could be interesting as well. I had not picked up in a while due to COVID-19, so it was behind.  Wow, wow, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Dark Age is a red five comics. Okay, okay, cool, cool, cool. I've seen it. I might have picked up one or two or something like this. I'm not 100% sure. This Dark Age has been around for a while, if I remember correctly. Hannah, I smoked some...Dutchberry.  Dutchberry last night. It was an amazing Giggly experience. Then we ate ice cream. hilarious. I don't know, that's funny, man. Jaded mask. Packing to go to college was always so fun. Thinking about seeing friends again and the sorts, yeah. And that's something that's changing now, right? Eileen King Divinity. Hey, Gicho, how are you doing? Eileen King Divinity. Welcome to an unscheduled live stream. I mentioned there's a care package here. Let me show you. This is the care package that was sent. This came from Portugal. Okay, I'm not going to show you this side because it's got all the mailing infos on it and stuff. It's come from Portugal, so we're going to do this. And here's the box. Here's the box, right? Okay, we're going to unpack this baby. And this one went through eBay's global shipping program. I will never, ever again go through eBay's global shipping program. I'll tell you about it, okay? Once we get to it. This is Spiderman. I'll post the beautiful plants in my front yard. We'll be starting a potted garden in the backyard. Awesome. Awesome, Spiderman. Starsky, how's it going? Yo, how's going, Gicho? It's going good, man. Picked up a comic book haul yesterday and a care package yesterday and woohoo. I was like, I got to do an unscheduled live stream. I'm going to show you guys this. You can't beat it. You can't beat it. Love it. Love it. Love it. How do we do it for time? How long do we move enough? Let's check this out. Up time. Been going for about 10 minutes. We'll give it a couple of more minutes. Okay, I mentioned to Ripper that we're going to go live this morning and he said he was going to try to make it. I'm not sure if he can or not. Spot of T, how are you doing? Hello, hello, how's everyone? I may be dipping in and out a bit because I'm on holiday at the moment, but I'll be here as much as possible. Awesome, awesome spot of T. You'll probably like what we got. I'm pretty sure I think so. He used Ebay's global shipping system. I had no choice. The guy was selling these books and I put a bid in. I didn't think it was going to go, but it went. I bought it and then it was going through Ebay's global shipping program. So I can't have any. I'll tell you the story on it. Okay.  Here's the kicker. My rant that I gave you was after I had bought this because this box took a month to come to me from Arizona. Like crazy. The rant that you heard, was my rant finally getting this book coming on its way and I'm tracking it going its where now? It's where now? Why? Like it's the most craziest thing ever. That's the whole comment. Did you ever buy comics on the spinner? Oh, for sure. For sure. For sure. The metal things and you spin it. When I was buying comics, there was still the newsprint ones, right? So if you went to Mac 711 or some of these places or even like different stores had the spinner racks, I bought some comics off spinner racks and news, just grocery stores. They were awesome. Sometimes when you went to, when if a book was hot, some comic book stores pull the books off, right? So you couldn't get them. So what you could do is go to the magazine stands and buy them there off the spinner racks. Dragons. Hey guys, is this an unplanned stream? It's an unplanned stream. Unscheduled stream. Spider-Man, Spot of T is the best mod. Spot of T has been here for a long, long time. I very much appreciate him. Chicho, have you read Pulp by Ed Brubaker? Pulp I haven't read. No. I've heard good things. Ed Brubaker. It's like you will not be disappointed picking up the Ed Brubaker book and reading it. It's like Brian Azarello. I've never been disappointed reading a Brian Azarello story. I've never been disappointed reading Neil Gaiman. Who else? Grant Morrison. I've been disappointed, even though Grant Morrison I think is one of the best writers in comic books, I've been at times disappointed reading Grant Morrison stuff because I know I have to read 10 issues in before I know what the hell's going on in the issue that I'm reading. We're all amazing, Spider-Man. We're all amazing. You're all amazing. You're all amazing. Nice wall comics. Some kids would hide the X-Men in the middle of the spinner. Kids are kids. The kids are funny. My one comic question, why are omnibus collections so insanely expensive? I think some of them are ridiculously expensive because they have limited print runs and there's more people chasing them than there is supply. Some of them are out of print. Some of the omnibuses aren't that expensive. I bought some of the valiant ones are really expensive because they were the first ones that came out of the low print runs, but some of the other ones I bought they're really reasonably priced. I bought the Divinity Omnibus which had Divinity Me 1, 2, 3, and the Divinity 3-1 shots and it was cheap, cheap, cheap for what you got. Phenomenal story and whatnot. Same with the X-O Man of War one. I know, right? The Spider-Man says I can't find any amazing Spider-Man omnibuses for cheap. Really? They're that expensive. They're hundreds now. No way. The first prints of them, right? Or is there any second prints of some? There must be second prints of the reissues of the omnibuses for Spider-Man. They're into the hundreds now? Wow. The collectible market is just going off the top, right? I guess a lot of people have libraries so it's a great way to present, right? Like this one. Check this out. This is the Conan Reader Omnibus. It's soft cover, it's not hard cover, and this was like seriously, this is, who does this have on it? This thing, like this stick, was $40 Canadian, $30 US. $30 US. That's pretty cheap. The Spider-Man stuff, I could, that's weird that they're going for so much because I'm assuming there's gotta be, but there's a lot of people collecting Spider-Man, right? Dragons. I was looking at the Conan Collection. They're at least $130. Like even if you pay current cover price, it would be more. Not a fan of hard cover trades to begin with. Wow. Ghost of Shadow Rat. How are you doing? Nice name. Sup man. Super excited for the new house. We'll be filling up the house with plants and bookshelves. Definitely not inspired by Gicho. Nice. It's my cut out. Just got 12 Marvel unlimited graphic novels coming. Got them for three bucks each. Nice. I like Gicho. I have a question. My dad bought me some comic books from his trip and I want to know how valuable they are. Where would I go to check them? Go to my com, you can go to, the best place would be, just go to eBay, write down the name of the comic and do a search and see how much is being listed for. And you can do an advanced search and see how much the books are being sold for. That's one way to do it. And there's, what do you call it? Here. There's, you could go to, here I'll give you this. You can go to my comic shop. I don't buy things from them or haven't yet, but I love their website. They have a lot of info on it. Go to my, that's a reseller, but it has a lot of info on things. And then there's, the best would be to know how much they're going for would be eBay. Okay. You could go here too. This is another one that I use. Conan. Yeah, me too. Me too. Slick Mac. Fantastic stories. Funny, the first trade you pull up is a soft cover Conan trade. Dark Horse does it the right way. Dark Horse does it the right way. It's too bad they lost rights to the comics. Again, the care package, let's do later because Ripper's not here. Let's do the comic book haul right now. Okay. Just in case Ripper comes in later on. Okay. Because it's a care package from Ripper. So we're going to do the comic book. Where's my exact knife I brought it. Oh, there it is. Nice. In Japan after initial run, the trades are super cheap. Available everywhere. If only, yeah, dragons. Like the number of people reading comics in Japan is huge, right? Both good websites. eBay is the best for solid sold listings for me personally. Yeah, agreed. So go to eBay and then hit advanced search and then click on completed or sold, right? Getting a small collection together for my three-year-old to grow into. Got infinity saga. Awesome. But anyone got suggestions and must have runs or omnibuses. Spiderman would have for sure. I do as well. Depends when you want to get your kid to start reading them. If you want to get them reading right away in comics, when they're really young, Bone by Jeff Smith. This guy. Bone by Jeff Smith. So if you have a kid, get them to read this. It's gigantic, right? But well worth it. What a fantastic read for any age. Any age. One of my favorite epic story arcs in comics. Okay. Highly recommend. Highly recommend. Did Elder say whether or not he would be here? I don't know. I just posted it. I didn't contact Elder right off the bat because I don't usually know exactly what time I'm going to go, right? I just told Ripper that most likely I was going to do a vlog last night that I was going to do the stream today, this morning. Game. Let me show you what we got. Okay. Let me show you this. Let's do this. Should I give you the background on this first? Let me give you the background on this first. Spiderman. Yay for comic stream. I'll be happy right now. Okay. Unpacked. I'm so sad I have to learn. No worries. Lurk away, brother. If you hear something that's really exciting that you want to see that, what do you call it, that I might have passed through, moved on, just come back and say, hey Chico, can you show me that? And I'll show you that. Okay. So no worries. So let me show you this. This is a comic book haul that I ended up picking up. Where is it? We got that. We got that. So purchase history. I'm just going to my ebay. Purchase history. And this is a comic book haul. I'm going to do view order details. Actually, I had that open here. So the comics in this box cost $34 US. I got a great deal on the comics. The shipping cost $44 US because it was going through ebay's global shipping program plus they charged about $6 import charges duty. So the comic books cost $34 US. The shipping ended up costing $50 US. Now, why did I go through ebay's global shipping program is because I put bids on a set of comics that were up and I wasn't expecting them to win them that cheap, but I won them that cheap. So I contacted the guy and I said, hey listen, I'm looking for some, you know, I'm looking some of the other lots. If you can combine shipping, I'll send you an offer and some of the other ones because he had it for buy it now or something. A couple more options, a couple more buy it now. And he said, yeah, sure, I can combine shipping. And he gave me a combined shipping price. And I said, sure, we'll go with that. Like it was like, you know, the ebay's global shipping program for the lot I bought was like $23. So he said, I'll charge you like $30, $30, whatever $31 or something for everything to be shipped to you. Right. And then when I ended up buying all these books, the guy and $6 import charges, right? And there was no import charges to begin with. So it should have been just shipping, right? Like $30 shipping. He said he was going to charge me. And then when I bought all these things, he kept on trying to make the combined shipping, but ebay's global shipping program wouldn't allow him to do it. Right. So after a week, he was like, okay, dude, like I can't get ebay's global shipping program to let me combine shipping.  He goes, okay, how about we do this? And then he tried for a day and he goes, okay, it's becoming more difficult to cancel orders. I'm like, dude. And he goes, okay, why don't you pick another lot that you like on my page and I'll include that as well as long as it's reasonable. I said, okay. And I gave him two choices and he included another $15 comic books that came my way, right?  And let me tell you where this thing went. You want to know where this thing went? Here is where it came from, where it ended up going, and how long it took. It took a month to come to me. The books were from Arizona. So the guy shipped them out on July 21st, okay, a month ago from Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona. The books went to Los Angeles. So Arizona, I mean, I'm on the west coast of Canada, keep this in mind, went from Arizona to Los Angeles, which is reasonable because Los Angeles to west coast of Canada is hop, skipping a jump away, right? Should have been here within a week, right? Arizona to Los Angeles. And then it went to Ohio, Cincinnati, okay. And then it went to Erlander, Kentucky. So Arizona, Los Angeles, California, Ohio, Kentucky, okay. And then it went to Ontario, and then it came to me. So it went Arizona, California, Ohio, Kentucky, Ontario, here, instead of going from here to here.   The guy was a really nice guy. Okay, so hopefully the comics are good. And I'll tell you what they were for. Oh man, that's rough. That is rough. Is there any way I can donate to Sponsored Comic? By the way, for sure, I'm slick, Mike. I have a PayPal account. So if you feel like Sponsored Comic will go on, fantastic. I'll put it together. People have been actually doing that, which is great. But don't feel obligated, man. It is what it is, right? But it was like, why are people using eBay's global shipping product? I don't understand. It's like having big brother monitor everything you do so you don't stumble. You're very weird. Patreon, probably. Patreon is good as well, for sure. Did I miss it? No, you haven't missed the ground. We're just getting into it. Elvira Haichichou, what's up? Greetings from the Netherlands. Greetings, Netherlands. How are you doing? Could he not put them back on a single lot with the show? Dude, he tried to contact eBay. eBay wanted to get back to them. That's what he kept on telling me, right? And then he ended up... I actually bought these books. He shipped them out on July 21st. I bought them like two weeks before that, right? It's just... And you'll know what this is, this series, because we did a CGC comic book haul of it. I bought the CGC comic book after I had bought these, but that comic book came that I showed you guys on a previous haul. I was actually going to bring it out and show it to you guys. Check this out. Nice packaging, right? Now, this is the lot that I really wanted to get, right? Cyberpunk. How are you doing? How are you doing? Wow, legendary robots. I don't understand why that distribution is economically viable for them, because the buyer is flipping the bill for it, right? Wouldn't that cost more? It does, but the shippers are not taking on the cost. We, the buyers, are taking on the cost. So people who are selling the books are getting less people from outside the United States bidding on the books, right? Me being one of them. Wow, one of my comics is worth $12 on my dad paid. $1 for it. Nice. High-linking divinity, because it doesn't sound very efficient. Check this out. This is... Let me bring up the description for this. This should have more than this on it, but we'll see. This is... Put the first print on it. Jupiter's legacy. Okay, let me make sure I got this thing showing up. Okay, Jupiter's legacy. And in a previous haul, you must... If you've seen it, we got Jupiter's legacy CGC graded, or CBD, whatever graded, at $9.8 for like $25 US with shipping. It was like $40 US, right? This is Jupiter's legacy. Number one, with Mark Miller and Frank quietly, and Frank quietly's artwork is absolutely amazing, and Mark Miller is pretty big. He does a lot of stuff that gets picked up, optioned to get either movies or TV series. And this has been optioned. And for what we understand from what River said, the shooting for this series is done, right? I believe it's a Netflix series or an Amazon series. So this is Jupiter's legacy number one. And the listing was... Jupiter's legacy... It's got the giant size as well. So giant size... I believe this is the reprint of Jupiter's legacy number one, two, and three. Okay, so it had this. Plus, it's got Jupiter's legacy one, cover ABCD and the studio, Jupiter's legacy two, cover ABC, Jupiter's legacy three A, four A and B, five A, B, C. So how many comic books total? It should be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. So Jupiter's legacy, 16 issues, and we ended up paying without the shipping. It was 1750. Okay, 1750. Slick Mac, thank you very much for the tier one sub. Appreciate it. Thank you. We've got an emote. What's this guy? Hyper slam. Nice. So this is Jupiter's legacy, the... what do you call it? The special edition. I believe it's a print run of... Let me put these guys here. Of number one and two. Okay, here's one A. Let me do it this way. One A. I haven't read this, by the way. But it is becoming a series. Just subbed. You're the best man. Awesome, Slick Mac. Here's one... Which one is this? This is number one, two. I don't know which version this is. Probably one B. We got this one slapped at 9.8. This is one again. Pretty cool cover, actually. I like this one. Very stylin'. Very stylin'. Here's number one variant cover, again. Right? Number one second printing. Okay. No, I don't think Mark Miller is Frank Miller's brother. I never looked into it, but I doubt it very much. Internet is playing a bit. Awesome covers on them. And the store is supposed to be good. Is it different smelling? Oh yeah, this is middle R. Check this out. A-R and Miller is E-R. So yeah, definitely not brothers. And this is the sketch variant. Very cool. So that's number one again. Here's number two. And they're all supposed to be near mint. Here's the variant of number two. Let's crack it open. Here's the other one. The package very nicely. Like the guy was really nice. Really. He was a really nice seller. It's just eBay's global shipping program. Like $50 for shipping US for $34 comic book haul is ridiculous. Why is the money going to eBay? Why is eBay collecting even more from the haul? But happy to have these by the way. And the lot that he compensated for. I'll show you what that is. Let me put these in order. This is, okay, hold on. I gotta put these in order so you see what else is it. This is the other thing. Two, two, okay, hold on. Let me put this guy down here. I gotta crack open a different one because I want to show you the runs together. I hope they're here. Here's another one. I'm going to crack open. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Put those guys there. So let me show you this. Cool. There we go. Okay. So we looked at this one, which was Jupiter's legacy. Number two. That was the last one, right? And then here's Jupiter's legacy. Number two, variant cover. Nice. Here's Jupiter's legacy. Number three. And I believe you only have one variant of number three. And Mark Miller, he's really working closely with Studios to bring his creations to light. Right? So here's Jupiter's legacy number four. So some of these books, if the series do well, they will most likely kick up in price. Okay. Number four. Here's a variant. Jupiter's legacy. Number four. Here's Jupiter's legacy. Number five. And it's a five issue mini series. Okay. The first series that came out. This is a cool cover. Jupiter's legacy. Number five. Variant. The artwork is Frank quietly. He did all Star Superman and a lot of other comics. He did, what else? Oh, he's done so many. He's very good artist. Very good artist. Very good artist. Jupiter's legacy. Number five. Variant. So this should be, I forgot how many count there was. So let's count this for that first lot. One, two, here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. So I think this should have been 16 books total. Let me just check it. So 16, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16 books. So all the books are there and these were 1750. Okay. This lot. Not including shipping, right? Now, he had Jupiter's legacy one, right? The first mini. And after I asked him if, you know, if he could do combined shipping, he said, sure, and I wanted to get the Jupiter's legacy. I've heard good things about it, right? I haven't read it. I don't know. For sure it's about superheroes, right? But I don't know if it's like what do you call it, the boys? I don't know if it's like some of the other. It's an alternate of superhero comic book series, right? From Mark Miller. So it's probably more mature and whatnot. So, and I knew it was going, it was optioned. I didn't realize when I ordered this, I didn't realize it would have already been filming, had already done for us. I'm looking forward to it. So I wanted to get it in my collection and he had Jupiter's legacy two with variants in there as well, right? So this is the second series, second mini that they put out and ended up buying this one. And I asked him if he could do combined shipping. He said, yes. So I zapped and there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 books in this and we ended up paying 1167 US. So we bought it for about a dollar a pop, right? Which was a good deal. It would have come out to like add another 50 cents a pop. So buck 50 a pop for near mint comics. Jupiter's legacy number two. And Frank quietly is, his artwork is beautiful. Here's number two again. Sorry, number one. So Jupiter's legacy two issue number one variant cover. And some of these covers, you can buy lots at fairly reasonable price. This was the cheapest that I could get my hands on. Here's number one again, variant cover. Beautiful cover. Look at that. Sorry about the glare gang. Very nice cover. You gotta love comic books. Absolutely beautiful. Here's the blank sketch variant. And from what I understand, if you buy blank cover sketch variants for any of your comics, from what I understand, if you take those blank variants to comic shows, the artists that are working on it, they're supposed to draw, sketch or sign it for free or they will. I don't know if it's supposed to be for free or not, but I haven't done it. Great covers kind of bothers me when prices shoot up when a comic is option. Feels like it cheapens the medium and everyone seems too willing to bend over backwards for movies, TVs. To dragons, to a certain degree, I agree with you. To a certain degree, it's an human artifact that is about to be going to the public light. And if it becomes a part of our society, it's a big deal. Right. They look super good. They look super good. Right. And the collector market is something that drives the comic book medium right now. Right now, a lot of people that are buying comic books and for a while now, they've been collectors. Right. I wish it wasn't like that. I wish general public was buying a lot of comic books. This is number two, variant cover. This cover. Beautiful. I don't know. For some reason, I love Frank Quietly's, like the way he draws people. It's detailed. This is issue number three. Right. Look at that. It's just, there's something about it. There's meaning in their faces, their postures. They're not over the top. Right. Muscle bound, exploding. It feels, I don't know what it is. It's just beautiful. Right. Here's a variant of issue number three. Here's issue number four. Like, look at the posture on that. This one's heavy. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what the art inside is like. It's like this, the art inside. We can crack one of these open if you want. Should we crack one open? Take a look. Here's issue number five, Jupiter's legacy. Do you roughly know what the series is about? I don't. I know it's a superhero series and I believe it's, you know, working with the government just based on the covers with the American flag in the background and not. Right. But I don't know. Here. Let's crack this one open. I'll show you what the inside looks like. And it's cool. He's using the bags that already have the tape on them. They're actually not bad. I don't buy these bags, but they're pretty good. And they're supposed to be near mint condition and they look fantastic. Like there's no ripples on them or anything. Right. So it's a great, if you didn't include the shipping is a great buy. Right. Here's a back cover.  Can the supervillains save us? The superheroes have taken over the world. Can the supervillains save us? So that pretty much tells us here. This is a good panel to show. This is the inside. So this is the number two by the way. Right. Get it to focus. So pretty good. Pretty nice artwork. Beautiful artwork. Here I'll show. Here's the one with the back cover. So this is Jupiter's legacy number two. And it's the same team. Same people working on it. Should be anyway. I think for Jupiter's legacy number two, there was another artist that worked on it too. Let me, let me just bring up the page because I highlighted it. Jupiter's legacy. So Jupiter's legacy number one, it's Frank quietly covered by Frank art by Mark Miller and art by Frank quietly. Okay. So all of all of Jupiter's legacy number one should be that and it is. I'm just scrolling speedy Gonzales style. Yeah. It's a couple of the covers were done in Jupiter's legacy by Duncan Freggo. This cover that I really liked was done by cover by Brian Hitch, this one. Right. So there's different artists, some of them being featured doing the covers. This one I really like Brian Hitch. I'm not familiar with that name. But the inside artwork is Frank quietly. Are those very, yeah, there's some of the variants. Right. So it includes a lot of variants, which is fantastic, which is fantastic. And then Jupiter's legacy number two, volume two, Frank quietly's work is the cover is Oh, check that out. Cover one of them cover by Matthew. Yeah. The variant covers are done by different people covered by Mike, me, Matthew, Jay Lee. Ooh, do we have Jay Lee cover? Check this out. Yeah, this one's Jay Lee. Nice. So for example, here, let me show you this. So this is Jupiter's legacy number one. Right. This cover is done by Frank by Frank quietly. Right. This cover is done by Jay Lee and Jay Lee is fantastic. Right. This, this cover is Jay Lee. And this cover is Mike, Matthew, which is a beautiful cover. I confused this one with Frank quietly. But if you can see the faces, they don't have the wrinkly look of Frank quietly's faces. So this reminds me sort of Alex Ross type of cover. Right. I'm not familiar with Mike Mayhew's artwork. His name. Nice. Love Jay Lee, where Jay Lee, he's, he's one of the old school artists from the 1990s, early 1990s that's really held his own. Right. I want to check it out now just because of that one sentence on the back. Yeah, spot of tea. It's, it's, it sounds cool. It looks cool. Marvel is guilty of some serious bait and switch between cover and tear. Yeah, dragons agreed. That's why I really love Independence Man. The big two, they abuse in large part, they abuse a lot of their fans. I don't like it. Right. Uncharted Ace, do you think the comic industry is going a bit too far with the amount of variant covers? And do you think it can harm the value of comic? Uncharted Ace, yes, 100%. And I believe I stated this way, way back a few years ago when we started doing comic book videos, I think it's over the top personally because there's a certain amount of money, dollar value that is available for comic books. And if people are buying, putting all that money into one thing, which could be okay if they're Independence, but if they're given it all to Disney, then Independence will suffer. Right. And it's gone a little bit too far. People are chasing covers that, you know, they're paying hundreds of dollars for, and then a few years from now, or shortly from now, they're not going to be worth that much. On the flip side, there's certain covers that are like five, 10, $15 that all of a sudden just go up into hundreds. So if you want to be an active trader in the industry, you can be, I guess, and there are people that make their money this way, which is a still legitimate thing to do. It's like any market. But I think there's a bubble. Right. And I realized that that's why I try to low ball things and get good deals and stuff like this. Because if I'm playing this game for the long haul, I can't be buying a lot of books when during bubble times, I have to maximize my purchasing power. Right. That's why a lot of comic book calls that we did, I used to bring out the spreadsheet, make the spreadsheet and I go cost per unit, right. Cost per comic. How much did it cost me per comic? Distribute out the cost. Right. To me, Marvel and DC are really taking the biscuit with it. Yeah, it's over the top. VC, how are you doing now? A couple other some of the other comics that I bought off this guy. Okay. Because he initially said he could combine shipping and I was like, right on. Let's combine shipping. Awesome. One of them, I bought these ones for a dollar and he said it was going to cost a dollar to ship. Right. Pluton, Plutono by Jeff Lemire, Lemmy Lennox and Jordy Belair. Right. Now I have this set. Okay. It's a mini. I believe it's a mini. And I have these, but he had it up and he said he could combine shipping. So I grabbed them for either $2 or a dollar, which is a reasonable price. You can get this out for that price. Like you can buy it off my comic shop or anywhere for like a dollar. Like it's not an investment thing. I just wanted extra copy just in case. You know, I read it. If I like it, if it's going to be something that I could pass on to someone to read. Fantastic. All right. Do I ever do reading sessions? We've got a lot of comic book readings. I've done, we have a whole comic book reading playlist on my eBay page. Playlist, not eBay, YouTube. If you go to YouTube, I have a playlist of comic book readings. Like my comic book readings are, they get a fair bit of views. The older one, like we've done a few of them. That's some of the stuff I decided to do right from the get-go when I started making comic book videos. Cole MC. And we've done live stream comic book readings a lot. We've done couple every month for the last few months. Love me some Jeff Lemire. Yeah. One of the greatest writers around. One of my favorite writers today, 100%. Getting Falls is fantastic and has unbelievable art I have never seen before. I recommend. Yeah. I read the first issue of Getting Falls. I really liked it, right? I might have a couple kicking around. I have one. Hope you're doing fine. Crazy bro Athens. How are you doing?  Yeah, I am picking up firepower.  Do you like? Do you like? I haven't read the comics, the boys comics. If you've seen the series, is it true to the comic books? Here's a couple other books that I bought. Doing fine, Athens says. Here's a couple other comic books that I bought. And again, these were, so I paid $2 for Plutona. Okay. And I paid $1 each to $1 for pretty deadly. Check this out. A dollar for pretty deadly. And this is a nice book. And I recently checked this out. And I bought the $1 bureaucracy kills. How are you doing? I did. I bought the $1 more image reprint. And I just read this like a couple of weeks ago, right? Or a week ago. And I bought this series when it first came out. I got the first two or three, three or four issues. But this was a dollar and he said he could combine shipping. So I grabbed another copy of number one. Okay. Have you ever read any Will Eisner? Yes, we have. Love his stuff. Yeah, we see. We read. Oh, I don't have the thing here. Yeah, we read some of this. Check this out. We read some, some of a life force. Phenomenal. Gang, if you've never read Will Eisner and looked at his artwork, please do so. He did the spirit as well. I don't have any of this original spirit comics. But this is a second of a trilogy, I believe, that he put out. And he's sort of one of the originators of the graphic novel, long story format of comic book storytelling, right? Phenomenal gang. Phenomenal. So beautiful. So beautiful. Look at that. The shadow work, they just, let me find you. When you just look at this, you're just like blown away by his brilliance, right? I'm trying to find the page that we did read. I can't find the page that we read. Oh yeah, this. We read this. Oh, so good. So good. Oh my god, so good. We read this from a life force chapter six. And we read this. And it's about a sort of a schizophrenic person with that is like, is going into his own world and stuff. So we've done a reading of this. Will Eisner absolutely magnificent. Highly recommend reading. I'll put this back. So picked up deadly class for a dollar. Why not? Take each all, see death, death 420. How are you doing cannabis death 420? That's what it must be. I made the stream, Brochancy kills. And I bought low for $2. Oops. Low number one. I got it upside down. Low number one first print for $2, which is a great deal, great deal. And this series is fantastic. Okay, I read the first volume of it. Great workshop. Will Eisner and a new and new kind of science just two shelves apart. Indeed, indeed. So this is I picked this up for $2. Fantastic. It's a I didn't have low number one. Right. But I did read the image reprint of it. Right. I just bought this just read issue number one again. And I do have and I read the first volume of low. And I haven't read past this. Fantastic. Beautiful. Beautiful. Really. Like fantastic series. Right. Fantastic series. Okay. Reminder. And who does the artwork? To Cheney. Reminder and To Cheney. Right. Can you show a page? Yeah, sure. Let me show you. Here. Sorry about that. I hit the mic. I hope it didn't wasn't too loud. Let me show you some pages from issue number one, just from the $1 reprint. Right. Pretty good. These days, if I buy singles, it has to be something with totally new ideas and different from everything else. Dragons, I agree. An image is great. I was about to say that image is great for that. Aftershock is great for that. Valiant is good for that. But I'm way behind my valiant reads, so I can't attest to them right now. Okay. Now I bought all of those comics. Right. It came out to $34 U.S. And the shipping and duty was going to be $50 U.S. So I contacted the guy. I said, listen, you mentioned that you could combine shipping. Could you please combine shipping? And why is eBay Global Shipping Program charging me duty when there was no duty that should have been charged? Right. They charged 17% duty. So on $34, they were charging $6 in duty, which is 17% in duty on $34 buy, which is insane. Okay. Roy's our boy in 1996. Thank you very much for the Twitch Prime sub. And so they were charging 17% when, when I bought them, eBay's Global Shipping Program had no duty on the charges. Right. And then $44 for shipping. So the guy tried to fix it and he couldn't fix it and stuff like this. He goes, look, I can't do it. I said, okay, and he made the offer. He said, listen, is there anything else that I'm selling that you want to get your hands on that, you know, we could include, right? I said, sure. I looked at the stuff and I went, yeah, okay, sure. I found something that I want to get. And if you can include that, then that'll compensate for the shipping. Right. And he decided he accepted and it was a $15 lot that he had on his on his page. And he's, and he told me as long as there was no bids on them, because I think these ones were, some of these were buy it now, some of them were, you know, auction. And this was an auction one, but there was no bids on it. So, and he had a minimum of $15 on it. Right. So I said, sure, you know, if you can include that, then that'll be $15. So what I would be ending up paying instead of $50, I was paying $35 in shipping. Right. Which is a little bit more than what he coded me on, but we're getting this set as well. Ripper. Still, I know, Ripper's still not here. So we'll have to, we'll crack it open though, because he will wash the video later on. Now this is another image set. Okay. It's almost a full run. It's issue number one to 18. Oh, he included 19 too. Nice. Initially it was issue number one to 18. And I looked online and there was a number 19. So I had to track down 19, but 19 is in there too. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Check this out. Now this is, let me tell you who it is. Think, think, think, think. Where are we? Where are we? Think, think. Let me do this. Let me do this. The artist for this or the writer for this is Jay Fairbur and art and cover by Scott Gottlowski and Ray Riley. Now I don't know these people. Okay. However, I've already read the first issue of this on either image reprint or I bought it as a number one and I really liked it. Copperhead. You can get this on the cheap. Okay. So as, right now, as of right now, this is an investment thing. This is a fantastic comic book to read thing, which is always a good thing to have. I read issue number one of this and I really liked it. I believe I read it when it first came out, right? And I probably picked up issue number two and three, but I didn't follow it. I didn't add it to my pull list so I don't have the set. Okay. But very happy to have it. It's sort of a Space Western. Okay. If you like Firefly TV series and if you like Space Westerns, just from issue number one, this was really good. Okay. So that's number one. Here's number two. You know what? I don't even think I have issue number two. The cover doesn't ring a bell, but number one I've read and I have. And it's really about a single mother with a kid that goes to an off world colony to be the chief, police chief, right? And a little, basically the sheriff in a small town on another planet on a mining colony. Okay. Issue number three. Issue number four. This is the sheriff's partner. Should be anyway. Issue number five. Do you any number one comics like Spider-Man or Hulk? Something like that. I have Daredevil number one that we've done a reading for, not Spider-Man number one. I put out a video telling a story about how I tried to get enough money to buy Amazing Spider-Man number one and I couldn't get it. I was in university. I could have bought it for $1,400, I believe. And I didn't have the money as a student, but I tried to borrow it and no one would lend me money to buy a comic book. That would have been one of the best investments ever. Amazing Spider-Man number one for $1,400. What's it going for now? Like $50,000? Here's number seven, right? Try to explain to people that don't appreciate collectibles, what it means to invest in collectibles. Ripper, how you doing? Wow, I just got an alert that you were live. Ripper, we've been going finishing off the comic book haul and we haven't opened up the care package yet. And obviously you're well into it, Si. Hope it's been a good stream so far, comics. Yeah, it's been super good so far, Ripper. And we held off on opening it up for the end. Initially I was going to open up at the beginning the care package. Do a check for Amazing Spider-Man number one. Let's say the grade that I saw that, it would have been like a nine, the one that was selling for $1,400. So see what Amazing Spider-Man number one goes for at graded at 9.0. This is number nine, 84 U.S. Diet thug. Namaste, friends. Hello, hello, greetings. This is number 10. So bureaucracy kills. Amazing Spider-Man number one graded at 9 is $84,000 now. I don't let family forget that I hit them up in the early 1990s, late 1980s, early 1990s, to borrow $1,400 from them to buy Amazing Spider-Man number one and they wouldn't give it to me. And I remind them every few years, do you remember? Damn, well, thank you. That's awesome. I'm just bummed at this alert system sometimes. I'm here now, awesome ripper. I'm sorry the alerts didn't go out, yeah. But if you had it today, would you sell it for that? No, I wouldn't. Right? Unless I really needed the money. 12. So it's just paper gain, right? bureaucracy kills predicted. Last sold was 66,000 at heritage. So you would have to ask some hefty fees to that price. Yeah, probably a third of it, right? How many copies are there of Amazing Spider-Man number one? I don't know. I don't know. But I can tell you that in an interview Stanley gave, he mentioned that he doesn't even have copies or he didn't even have copies of Amazing Fantasy number 15, the first appearance Spider-Man, right? Because no one thought that these comics would be so valuable. I had the same problem with the storm comics, found the guys selling them so cheap. I'm rather didn't want to borrow to. Yeah. Crazy bro, Athens. It's just the way it is. Roy is our boy. 1996. Hi, Chicho. It's Crom. Crom from the discord. Hi, Crom. How are you doing? Is it Crom or Crom? I was said Crom for some reason. Crom, how are you doing? Welcome to our comic book live stream. This is a cool cover. Lightning. If Chicho sold it right now, it would be 100% get lost in shipping. Around four grand bureaucracy kills, four grand fees. So yeah, around 50 grand you would pocket, right? Issue number 15. Oh, that was a shoe. Oh yeah, he included two copies of issue number 15, the variant cover too. Who's the variant cover of this one? This artwork is so familiar. Look at that. It's Crom and a well.  Ah, okay. There's 4,000 graded Amazing Spider-Man number ones. That's the graded, so there's got to be a few others. What is Copperhead about? I've never heard of a Ripper. It's a really good series. I swear this is Jeff Smith. Who did the artwork for this? Scotty after Adlord. Scotty Young? Okay, I gotta look this up, gang. So this is Copperhead number 15. This Ripper, this series, I've read issue number one, and it's basically a sci-fi western. Okay. It's a sci-fi western, sort of along the same lines as Fireflies, about a single mother that goes to an off-world colony, a small town, to be the sheriff. Issue number one was fantastic. I really liked it. This cover is done by Scott Godlowski and Ron Riley. Beautiful artwork. Beautiful cover. Walking dead variant. So perhaps whoever drew that. Oh, looks cool. Very cool cover. Here's number 16. I was very happy. I'm very happy to get this, by the way. If I like a comic book series reading, it's always good to have a run, right? Number 17. And you can get this again. You can get this really cheap. Really cheap. Like, the cover price for these were four dollars, and you can, you know, you can pick up a lot of 118 for $15. Less than a dollar a pop, right? This definitely looks like a walking dead cover. And here's number 19. And what I found on the description of this. This is supposed to be a new arc. So I think Copperhead is continuing series. It must be. It's up to 19. And it's a new story arc opening up with this. So a nice haul, considering how much the shipping was, which is unfortunate. So I won't be buying eBay's Global Shipping Program ever again, unless it's in a crazy, amazing deal, right? Ripper sounds like a great read. Firefly is fantastic and sci-fi, Western is such a cool concept. Yeah, agreed. Did you get out how much you paid and all that info? Yeah, I ended up, this whole lot ended up getting 1711. So 30, it was about 33 books, right? That cost of the buying of the books was $34 US. Now, I bought one lot with Jupiter's legacy number one for 1750. It was like 16 books. And I contact the guy to ask about shipping and stuff. He said he would combine shipping. But then when I bought all these books, eBay wouldn't allow him to do the combined shipping. So eBay charged $44 in shipping plus $6 in duties to come to Canada. So $50 in shipping fees and duty and $34 for comic books. So we went back and forward a little bit and the guy said, you know, if you could compensate by throwing another lot. And he threw in Copperhead lot, these 19 comics. And I was okay with that. I still paid more than I wanted to for shipping. But whatever, we tried to work it out and it was great. And I'm going to leave the guy, you know, top notch feedback on it, right? Because it wasn't, it was out of his hands. It's eBay that was messing things up, right? Diet tag. Do the color tones on the covers depict the overall feel of the issues for Copperhead? I know it's a stretch. I just noticed that red goes with pictures of struggle here and blue seems to be more mellow. Possibly like issue number one. Here's issue number one. So I've read this and does that depict the mood of the comic?  It's desolute. And there is, you know, I don't want to give spoilers. So there are certain events that occur with, you know, it's a Western. So there is some bloodshed. Okay. Does this give the feel of the first that I read? Yeah, pretty much. It has a good feel for it. I haven't read the rest of it. But as far as low, as far as low goes, yeah, very much. The artwork is very fluid. And this is an underworld, underwater world that they're in. So low is phenomenal series, phenomenal series. Like it has that fluidity of the story as well in the artwork. So highly recommend low as well. Rick Reminder is fantastic. Right? I like that. Yeah, it's super cool. That's the comic book haul gang. Should we do, let me do uptime. How we doing for time? Hour and 18 minutes. Let's do a care package by Ripper all the way from Portugal. And the first version of this package went from Portugal to France and drove around Europe for a bit. And it went back to Portugal because it couldn't find its way to Canada. And it finally came to Canada. And Ripper knows what that's about. Okay. So Ripper, thanks for the care package, brother. Ripper already sent the care package. And I'm very close Ripper. I'm sending a book to be graded. I'm not. I got to look into the CBGC one because they have a Canada thing on it. I'll see. I'll see. It's just I rather have fun buy books than grade books, right? But because once I get into it, it might be a little bit of what do you call it too, too addictive to get things graded, right? Let's crack this open. By the way, my post office because our in Canada, we have this thing where you can get a sort of a virtual PO box for parcels. So you don't have to pay anything. You just go open up an account where parcels boxes can be sent there and they hold it for you to pick up. But it only accepts parcels. Since this was like an envelope thing, it wasn't a parcel. They accepted it because they know me. And then they said just tell them not to send envelopes because they can't accept envelopes like this. So Ripper almost didn't make it to me, right?  I've noticed from my eBay store that eBay pushes the global shipping program and it's really cheap on my end. But I don't use it based on all your videos. Instead, I charge a flat fee to Canada, which isn't cheap, but better than the global awesome Ripper. And are you getting Canadian buyers buying from you? Yes, this is the three months in the making. This is three months in the making thing. Oh, check this out. Okay, let's pull this up. Okay, let's check this out. I'll show you this little thing at a time. Hold on. We're going to do this. Hold on a second. Yeah, Ripper posts your... Wow, almost didn't make it again. Good to know though. Yeah, almost didn't make it again. Yeah, awesome Ripper. Did you post it? Ripper, Shroom, Tripper comic books. Zack, the Ripper comics. Hold on, let's do this. Ripper, I got... Oh, I don't have my... What do you call it, open? Pooper, Scooper. I can post a link to your page. Let me do this. Let me see if I can find that speedy Gonzalez. Okay, you know what? I'll do it this way. It's just going to take me one minute, gang. Because Ripper's got some nice books on sale.  And let's see, let's see, let's see. There it is. Okay, I'm getting there. I'm getting there. These are Ripper's books. His logo is awesome. This is his website. Okay, gang. Let me post that. Paste. That's his Ripper's eBay page. Okay, I'll be adding 50 books in the next few days. Nice. So that's Ripper's selling books. Okay. So here's some stuff that's in here. There's a letter here too. Transfer to deliver. Here's the thing where the thing didn't make it. Because the Shipper... I won't show you this part of it. The Shipper, what do you call it? It went to France. It didn't make it... What do you call it? It didn't have Canada on it. So they didn't know where it was supposed to go. So it went to France and then went back to Portugal and they resented. Right? Oh, check this out. What's this? What's this? Okay, let me read the letter first. Hi. Hi, Chico. Your friend Zach Connor thought you'd enjoy this comic. I've made about... What?  Oh, dude, you're shitting me. We're gonna do a reading of this. What? Thank you so much. No worries, man. Die Thug. I won't go into detail here on this stream, but I want you to know I made an effort on Elder God. Oh, yeah, Die Thug. Just finished work. Elder God. How are you doing? Check this out. Check this out, Elder God. This is a care package from Ripper, right?  Check this out. So here's the letter, right? Hi, Chico. Your friend Zach thought you'd enjoy this comic. I've made about Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy. What the f? Check this out. That's so Julian. I'm Julian. I'm Julian. Look at this. What is this? At the Ecuadorian Embassy, I hope you enjoy it, especially since you have a chat about Julian. You might be the only reader so far that will get all the little gags. So that's cool for me. I also threw in a few rats for good measure, and this is nothing rhythm rats. Ripper, remember I had said it was about a topic you've been talking about, Julian Assange, and you thought it was a pomegranate. That's right. What? Brad Pitt's pick. Is it Brad Pitt's pick? No. Check this out. Written July 31st over one month. Oh, yeah. So check this out. Also, Zach, your friend Zach, enjoy this comic. I mean, so who's this person signature at the bottom? Agui Ripper. So is that the artist? Written July 31st over the one month since. PS. So this package has actually gone through a journey. It mistakenly got sent to France and it made its way back to me in Portugal. Now I'm sending it out to you again. It just needs a little encouragement, I guess. Laugh out loud. Hope it finds you well. I'm also including a bit of the old envelope. Perhaps you'll get a kick out of reading this. Have a great day. Thank you. So Ripper, is this the artist? I can't read that. Check this out. Oh, yeah, Brad Pitt's pick. I didn't even see that.  Check this out. Okay, we've got to crack this open. And there's this thing here too. Check it out. Let me show you this thing first. Nothing rhymes with rats. Nothing rhymes with rats. What is this? So check this out. Let me read this. Nothing rhymes with rats. Time certainly keeps going by. Yes, it does. Dwindling away. There goes some more and more and more. Dwindle, dwindle, little star.  Wasted down to the wire. Squandered life in toil and mire. Dwindle, dwindle, little star. It was a dear little violet. So that's a little poster thing. Let me fold this properly. Okay, we're going to take a look at the Julian Assange poster. Our comic. Julian Assange comic. Dude, awesome. What is this? Dude, dude, dude. What is this? Leftover mac and cheese date one. I can't bring this one too close. I'll bring this one close. Just in case the sensors don't like it. Too funny. Too funny. Let's check this out. This is awesome, dude. We're going to do a reading of this. We're going to check this out, man. Dragons. Can't, bad, beautiful. Who drew this comic? I don't know. I'm Julian. I'm Julian. I'm Julian. So who is this guy again? He's never mind. I have to stop procrastinating. Okay. So here's the first page. Okay. What does River say? This is very cool. I didn't know he was going to do a personalized letter and such, but he was excited about you reading it and said to link your video to him. Okay. Okay. Let's just say I'm going to read the first page just to text on it. It's a Fight Club reference. Hi, I'm Taylor Durden on Sunday in London at the Ecuador Embassy. Come on, you guys. Give me a break. It's Julian. Come on, you guys. Give me a break. What's the Wi-Fi password? Right? Let's check this out. I gotta read this. What's the Wi-Fi password? You know, L Wi-Fi or password? Oh, sorry. L Pass Ecuador. Hola. This isn't fair, you guys. And I'm assuming these are the security people that were bought off by the CIA to spy on Assange, to prevent them from getting access to the internet. And they were monitoring him and stuff, right? Oh, YouTube's not going to like us reading a Julian Assange comic, are they? Okay. Well, you tell me if I guess it. Is it Chimichanga 1? Chimichanga 2? Chimichangas are Mexican, Julian. Don't you think? I know that. I'll never let on the depth of my knowledge. So, let's see. What's quintessentially Ecuadorian? Maybe it's Sangria on the score Pedrosa. So, you found the password. And they're chasing him down. Matured exclusive? No, God. We do a Julian Assange comic book reading. It's going on YouTube. No way we're going to censor ourselves writing Julian Assange reading a comic book. Absolutely not. If they decide to kill the channel, so be it, man. Chichou, Anju Goitan is whom it's from. He wrote and drew it. He wrote and drew it. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Excellent. Be true to yourself. AnjuKoitan.com in case any viewers would like to purchase a copy. Cool. Let me grab that. Hold on. I'm going to link it up in the chat game. This is historical so far. Historical. My God. I'm going to find this thing. I'm going to link it up for you guys. Angela.

Oh, awesome. Awesome, Ripper. We do. This is going to be one of the books we put in our list, or we're just going to do a reading of it, I think. I don't think we're going to put it in our list. We're just going to go straight down and read it. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.  Too funny. Too funny, gang. Too funny. Awesome. I figured this little comic book haul was going to be fun to do.

Hey, hey, morning, Chichou. With your positivity, Larek Bark, how are you doing? Ripper is for mod. Ripper for mod. Ripper for mod. I second. I thought Ripper was a mod. Prime gaming. You're welcome, my friend. Your work is very much appreciated. My pleasure, Ripper. Elder God. Ripper mod? For some reason, I thought Ripper was a mod already, but maybe he was just a mod on. Ripper, are you okay with being mod status? That way you can post the links yourself, because I had to grab them. Elder God, second. Do it. Do it. Ripper, you got to give the okays if you're okay. It is a responsibility, personally. I don't want to really be a mod anywhere. I am on action for Assange, but their traffic is very little. Hopefully, we'll kick that up. But for me, I watch their streams when I can. I don't make it a plan to be there. And I don't expect any mods to do it for my channel, either, right? So Shucks? Oh, Shucks is good to go. I'm building anticipation here. Okay, let's do it. Mod. Mod the Ripper CZ. Yes, I will do it. Thank you, sir. Did it work? Chichou granted mod privileges to Ripper, the Ripper CZC Zack Connor, the Ripper Zack Connor. And he's got a great little comic book logo thing of a G on his eBay page. Okay, gang, aside from that, I hope you enjoyed the stream. Well, I'm going to go sort these guys out. Julian Assange is going to make it to our reading list. Wingman forever. And I'm going to, later on today, I'm going to try to get to the comic bookstore and see if I can pick up some 25 cent Batman's and maybe we'll do, maybe I can pick up a box and just bring it over and say, okay, here's a box of Batman's 25 cents that I ended up buying. We'll see. Top Fiverr, how are you doing? Welcome to the crew. Top Fiverr says, welcome, welcome Ripper. And I think you're a mod on Discord.

Look visual asset news or Dan for sure. My name is Rob and today just the thumb on tile suggests there is some speculation that was gonna be a massive dump coming up because of a big influx of Bitcoin to exchange So we're gonna take a look at the actual piece of information And I'm just kind of lay it out there that don't worry. It's not a big deal When in doubt zoom out I'm gonna show you what this is so you can do your own research Moving forward, you know what to depend on me Also, we're gonna talk about aetherium's new road map addition called the Scourge Talk about Gala games and P network and who will be global their legal spat that's going on after that White hack that just happened and also talk over real quick about a coin bureau They do that you should probably check out and lastly of course the little Q&A so first things first The title you can take a look at that and go oh my god It's gonna be the worst day ever because there's gonna be a dump incoming This is gonna keep happening in the bear market. You're gonna keep seeing stuff like this and hopefully don't get triggered on this channel we don't do a lot of Speculation we don't do a lot of these different parts where we could just say well This is just you know, it's dependents This is gonna be the the worst thing or the best thing ever we try to keep it right in the middle So don't worry about that. We'll get to that But I have to tell you real quick little PSA a little public service announcement I think everybody's been talking about this So I just want to make it crystal clear that There's something going on with with FTX or maybe nothing at all I'm not for sure, but I can tell you right now. There's these rules underneath me I'm talking about it all the time and they're gonna protect you. You don't have to do them He's just my rules and they've worked out pretty well for me. First of all, it's all gone Don't want to invest where you can afford to lose don't start taking little Timmy's money from your college fund and dumping it all into whatever Stepping or whatever. I don't know and then you lose it all Everything's a scam until proven otherwise. Don't leave anything in exchanges That's why you can have you have cold storage devices. You have a ledger or a tracer don't use leverage unless you're really great of it and of course 1500 X is ridiculous Also take profits along the way. It'll it'll save you so there's these things been coming up with FTX I don't know for sure what's going on, but would it hurt to take your crypto off of FTX? I'm just saying if I wouldn't hurt you too much So if you haven't done so already, please do so because that might be something that you could do if it all blows over Hey, I was wrong and I really don't even I'm not even a hundred percent sure things are going on But whether a smoke there's fire. I'm just here to let you know. I don't want you Something bad to happen to you, but I just find interesting of course Sam comes out and says look This is what's going on a competitor is trying to go after us with false rumors FTX is fine assets are fine Here's the details FTX has enough to cover all client holdings. We don't invest into client assets even in treasuries That's pretty good. I like to hear that. We've been processing all the draws What can we'll continue to do so I've heard they're a little bit slow But hey a lot of people are taking their stuff off some details on withdrawal speaking There's a little tweet that he put out It's heavily regulated even when that slows us down We have gap audits with greater than a billion excess cash We have a long history of safeguarding client assets and that remains true today. That's true. Everything's cool until it isn't I'd love it at CZ Binance if we could work together for the ecosystem And this was from a tweet that CZ put out and said look I'm taking everything off because once we figure out That something is negative for the space and pretty much sing sing singling out singling out Sam Then that's what they're going to dump their FTX for the next couple of months. So just so you know and Start trade is a good point says right here, you know the guy from Celsius Network said something similar so I don't know what's going on, but I don't like it and that's just another Reminders you do such things also moving on yesterday. I made a mistake There was this video we talked about 10-year bear market or 250k Bitcoin in 2023 and there was two people who predicted well That's one person. No, excuse me. There was two for you all that everybody to 250k Bitcoin, but it wasn't 2023 One was Tim Draper and he says in mid 2023. We're gonna see a 250k Bitcoin. I think that's crazy But that's just me the second person I've got here is his mark You use go hopefully I said his name, right? He's a CEO and CIO of Morgan Creek team and From the video that I watched I got the impression that he was talking about 2023, but he's not he was actually talking about In the next cycle because he like myself believes in the four-year cycles and he says I can see in 2025 actually happening and He actually said 250 is kind of high maybe 200k and I was taking a look at I'm like Yeah, you know, it's probably right because we we took a look at this at the fair value a lot rhythmic regression you can find this and a bunch of other stuff over a Ben's website and a cryptiverse links in the description and Again, I believe in four-year cycles and one thing to notice is this is that as we pass of these these four-year cycles This was the 2013 big boom the first one. There's a second one in 2017 Here was the last one in 2021 and you notice that the fair market value the upper band we actually exceed that by quite a bit and Same thing happened in 2013 to 2021. So if we go to 2025, let me blow this up so you can see it If we go out to 2025 Which I'll be here. You'll probably be here too. I mean if you're in the bear market, you can be here in 2025 if if we extrapolate this to the upper band in August 2025 Let's just take a guess just one thing I stopped at the upper bound is 170k and we've seen that We go higher than the upper bound Did in 2013 and 1721 so what mark was talking about this one was probably absolutely correct He said it's a you know, he could see 200k. I can see 200k. Does that mean it's gonna happen? No Because nobody has a crystal ball and over says they know exactly where it's going is full of it That's just how it is, but I hope it is and I hope it's right. So sorry about that mark I made a little error error on that one. Okay, so now let's get into The stuff so this was actually as a tweet. I Like these guys were watcher watcher. Guru. They always got good information Usually and this one comes out says hey 3.1 5 billion worth of Bitcoin sent to exchanges in the last 24 hours You're not familiar with this whole process When people start to stick their Bitcoin into exchanges means they're gonna sell it because what's the point, right? They had an in cold storage It's like they had nothing to do they put over in the in the exchanges wait for a time and the boom They sell it and usually happens pretty quickly.  However, maybe not so much. So 3.1 5 billion worth what's going on according to coin glass 152,000 Bitcoin worth a whopping 3.1 5 billion was moved to exchanges the last 24 hours And this was the diagram that they gave I gave you guys the coin glass Balances website and it looks like this So I need you to click on that in the description. You can do your own research from now on So when people are saying this you can go there and go wait, is that that true? So when I took a look at this one And I'm not saying they're wrong. I'm not saying but I I couldn't duplicate this From because they have a time frame of a very short here 18 October to 7th November I've kind of shortened that up To 30th and I don't see the big cliff that they that they're that they're talking about and of course here The balance is 2.1 million on a 4th of November then it dropped to 2.09. There is a bit of an increase here 2.09 2.11 2.11 so a little bit more than what it is a Little bit less I could say but it doesn't doesn't match the big Boom but mathematically. Okay. I see it But the thing I want you guys to remember is this when you take a look at these data points and go man, that's a lot That is a lot You have to sit back and go. Is this really the whole story? I mean cuz like it doesn't What you want to do is when in doubt zoom out. So let's just zoom out. So this is over the last Six seven months or so we can see that in 2nd of August. I Mean, there was a high amount of balance back then 2.15 million and It was pretty stable back then for what it was September has a bit of a volatility Then of course we have it here comes out here, but then again here we are again actually know what if you take a look at this Here's the price of Bitcoin and is this one I take it back if this one comes up here this big green piece here This is the people putting it on to exchanges it actually went up and then God we're looking at a week's time frame and Over time then it started to dip down. It was like two weeks later and then over here same thing We see the price of Bitcoin You've got 2.1 million and it comes all the way up here 2.14 and then there's a big drop-off then over here Yeah, it looks like it's flat So we could see it again and the price goes down a little bit. So yeah, maybe but again Is this the big end-all be all of everything probably not? I mean We're gonna keep seeing these things and you're gonna keep seeing these headlines and these titles and these thumbnails and things like That I just want to bring it to your attention that when you take a look at it at the grand scheme of things Is it that big of a thing?  I'm not here for that time frame. Anyhow let me think about that in the comments section just kind of bring it to your attention and these next articles I think is Really about the next process especially about adoption. So this one was interesting metallic Muturin reveals a new phase in the aetherium roadmap called the discourage so There's been some Some himming and hawing about the merge that just came up and people have been complaining about especially about the centralization of it I thought maybe it was a little bit people talking a little bit Expeditiously a little bit too much, but apparently it's enough for even metallic to go You know what? Maybe it is too centralized. Maybe we should do something So this is coming from a dog. You're not for me but I was at a new stage the aetherium technical roadmap it aims to improve censorship resistance and decentralization of the aetherium network Ethereum has been in the second stage called the surge which is right after the merge very nice with the goal of getting to 100,000 TPS through roll-ups man. I hope they hit that that'd be cool. That's a lot of transactions per second now They can only it's not as fast as it as it could be and of course, I mean fees or fees But I really just had the fees go down not so much the speed But that's me rope nap now inserts the scourge as the third new stage and This will be followed by the previously known stages of the verge the purge and the splurge laser taser and phaser Sure, the goal of the scourge is to ensure reliable and credible neutral transaction inclusion and to avoid centralization And other protocol risks from MEV. What's MEV? Great question MEV is minor extractable value. It occurs and first why didn't know this was going on It occurs when a minor front runs other participants in the network by deciding which transactions are to be placed in a block And in what order? This allows miners to duplicate all winning deals from the mem pool and execute Execute their transactions ahead of arbitrage seekers anyone attempting to make a profit as a result The theorem has become associated with a higher degree of centralization and censorship following the merge Following the network transaction to proof of stake the percentage of blocks compliant with the OFAC or US Office of Foreign Asset Control reached 73% on November 3rd And you can debate that all you want to it's just the facts And there's another thing that came up that I found it quite concerning. This is some sentiment This was a while ago. It's December, September 15th. Did you know? According to Ethereum post merge inflation 46 almost 47% of the proof of stake nodes for storing data processing transaction I knew blockchain blocks couldn't be attributed to just two Addresses this heavy dominance by these addresses is something to watch However, there's a little bit again to really dig into that that data in the minutia One of those pools has multiple pools underneath it So I don't really see it as as that big of a thing But you're going to hear about this a lot and you're going to see well Is it really centralized is always centralized? Look, it's a lot More decentralized than any bank out there. I'll tell you that right now A lot more decentralized than eos. Sorry. Sorry Beardy. Sorry. I said it So, I mean these are the things that are going on and also remember this I still think proof of stake was a was a pretty decent move I mean it might open. I'm up for security and gensler and all those things because now it's What improved word to prove a stake, but that's that's not for me to debate. That's for gary and the cftc and Congress, I don't really I'm just here But what was interesting though is that there's a website called ultrasound dot money a link in the description You can also check this out You can see that what's been happening is that Ethereum is becoming more deflationary Isn't perfectly deflationary right because the supply change so far is plus 3000 eeth that's since since the merge which was 53 days ago Which you think what's that's a lot of eeth Well, if they would have done proof of work, you know, which would have been 636,000 eeth Let me say that again. So In the proof of work Our proof of excuse me proof of stake. They only increased their Ethereum by 3000 So not deflationary but pretty close if you take a look at all the transaction fees and things like that And then of course you go down here 636 So the supply growth per year For proof of work would have been three percent For proof of stake you're looking at yeah, yeah roughly point. It's point zero zero one whatever is my name So I see good things for Ethereum. I don't know which one's gonna win I don't care. I just buy dolly cost average bitcoin and ethereum and Solana and cardano and polka dots and cosmos and things like that And I just go about my little merry little way. I think in three years it'll work out But I could be wrong. Maybe it all goes to zero. It's not going to zero It's too much money sloshing around and of course the politicians They love to tax you on those things or the government does that's what uh, they don't want you to stick it in the In your bank account. They want to tax you. That's what capital gains are for come on silly. That's how it goes So let me just think about that in the comment section and lastly to finish up This is a weird story Gala token exploit not a white hat act who will be global who will be claimed that Calling the incident and hobie is the centralized exchange calling the incident a white hat move was only p networks excused to avoid legal Legal trends legal sanctions. Excuse me This is interesting because it's going to get ugly and there's going to be legal ramifications Against who obi And against p gala. Here's what's happening Days after game five product gala games and and d5 protocol p network Assured its community that everything was fine Every everything's fine Nothing to see here folks move along citizens Nothing to see here Uh Who obi global came out with its version of the story accusing p now work of earning a four and a half million profit From the recent p gala crash on November 3rd a suspected attacker minted two billion worth of gala On bmd smart chain and dumped a portion of the tokens on pancake swap Running a total of almost 13 000 bmb tokens, which is worth around 4.5 million, which is a pretty good day's work I gotta I gotta tell you This drained a pain pancake swap pool and caused a drop in a token price Man, I will be really ticked off that happened if I was in some pool and everything would just run out of my money traders took advantage of the situation buying gala from pancake swap and done with the tokens on who obi causing a price crash crash from Uh four cents to fraction of a penny on the crypto exchange Recent announcement by how how obi the crypto exchange made allegations against p network claiming the protocol's recent behavior is not a white hat move Like they said it was a scheme for malicious profit Also led to calling the activity a white hat attack was only an excuse to avoid legal consequences Well, we made claims the incident caused massive losses for its users, which it did Exchange underscored that it's ready to represent the users who sustained damage Illegal court of law from the incident and threatened to take legal action against p network However, if the alleged attackers are willing to return the proceeds from the attack Who are we said it will provide a one million bounty and will not pursue its legal responsibilities Pretty much forced them to give the money back said hey, we'll give you a million bucks But you got to give everything else back to 4.5. So we'll We'll take a haircut 3.5. So p network came out and said look that's a lie that you were coming out with And they also explained that it'll seek legal against legal action against who will be for its allegations.  So let me just think about that in the comment section Just another thing that's happening. And lastly, I will say this Watched a great video the day uh coin bureau podcast And it gets uh, it's guy and it's mad mic. I think it's me It was a great video and they talked about uh moved to urn The different projects out there and the reason I bring it up is because I am super biased Towards sweat coin because I own a bunch of it. So just everybody knows and uh, they talk about and they give their opinions about steppin and uh sweat coin And uh, talk about some other things. I own I still own steppin the nft I used it just didn't like it and talked about sweat coin I thought it was interesting to bring it to your attention and go from there links in the description But that's it for today. So look that concludes today all the things we're talking about as far as the news If you like today's video give it a thumbs up consider subscribing all that good stuff


On the eve of June 6, 1944, Richard Scott Brown, a member of the Royal Air Force 644 Squadron from Port Arthur, Ontario, was towing gliders out under the moonlight. Just after midnight, he would seize bridges in enemy territory. Securing these access points proved to be critical to the success of Operation Neptune. It meant that the infantry could send over heavy artillery on the morning of D-Day and help the men who had carried out the amphibious landings. Norman Harold Kirby, a Bren gunner from British Columbia, was one of these men. A member of the North Shore Infantry Regiment, he stormed Juno Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944. But while making its way to shore, the landing craft carrying his unit hit a mine. So Norman Kirby did what he had been trained to do. He ran. Without any weapons save a knife, a fork, and a spoon. Norman Kirby ran across the beach towards the enemy. He would go on to fight in Belgium, Germany, and Holland. He was just 19 years old. Like Norman Kirby, like Norman Kirby, Jean Tramp just came to be 19 years old during the Normandy's landing. He was originally from Montreal, but he was also far from home. He headed towards the river, under the rain of German bombardments. He would remember all his life from the carnage he witnessed that day. Screams of his wounded comrades by the bullets and the bombs. Cards without lives that were jumping on the beach. Cards without lives that were jumping on the beach. Soldiers, detainees, and even captains fell into the fight. Jean Tramp will later affirm that he saw the best and the worst of human beings during the Second World War. 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach that day with no guarantee of victory. It was a gamble like the world had never seen before. But when duty called, Canadians from coast to coast to coast answered. The Third Division and the Second Armoured Brigade represented all of Canada. They were comprised of men like Richard Scott Brown, Norman, Harold, Kirby, and Jean Tramp. Men who came from different parts of our great country to serve. On the battlefields of Normandy, Francophones, Anglophones, indigenous peoples, new Canadians came together as one. One fighting force standing on guard for their British, American, and French allies. One country standing on guard for the wounded soldier, the imprisoned brother, the oppressed sister, the grieving mother, the deceased father. Standing on guard for democracy, for liberty, for peace. The Canadian troops have managed to advance further into the land than any other army during Normandy's landing. Our soldiers came to enter history. But tonight, they will cry for the loss of those who will never return to our country. The loss of father, brother, and son who, 75 years ago, day by day, have sacrificed their lives for their fellow citizens, for future generations, for you and me. More than 5,000 Canadians fell on the battlefields of Normandy. 75 years later, we remember the magnitude of their sacrifice. We remember, in particular, the companions of the first wave, such as the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and the Queens Rifles of Canada, who suffered huge losses in the first hours of the day. We remember their courage, their tenacity, and their generosity. We thank them not only for their sacrifice, but for their example. For inspiring countless young men and women to answer the call of duty like they once did. For teaching us the value of service, for showing us the true meaning of honour. We thank them for leaving us a better world than the one they once inherited. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the men who fought the beaches of Normandy. Thanks to them, we live in freedom and peace. Thanks to them, the values of peace and democracy define our country, but the legacy they have given us is far beyond our borders. They have shaped the world in which we live. They have tied the ties of friendship on which we relate our relations with so many countries today. They have inspired the great international forums that govern the diplomatic universe, forums like the UN, the OTAN, the World Bank, and so on. Thanks to them, thanks to the sacrifices they have made over the past 75 years, our world is safer, more connected, and more peaceful than it was at the time. I stand here knowing that I can never fully understand what our brave men and women in uniform experienced, and will never forget. Only those who threw themselves against the walls of the fortress of Europe in Normandy know the full extent of what unfolded here 75 years ago. But it is the responsibility of all Canadians to ensure that their story and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. It is up to us to preserve and protect the values for which they fought, up to us to uphold their proud legacy, and we will not let them down. Thank you.
