Behind The Scenes At A Comic Book Shop!

Love the peek behind the curtain!!!

It is amazing that not more books were damaged with that type of shipping. You would think it would cost more to do the replacement than provide better packaging.

Great video! Thanks for the peek behind the scenes

Thx for the insights, looking a bit behind the curtains was super interesting!

very interesting

More great content as always.

Here's my comment. "I'd like to win the free slab."
Thanks for all of the sometimes valuable information in your videos, Bry!!

Awesome process

Cool behind the scenes look. Thanks!

For a hobby based on collectability, its always nuts seeing books shipped like that lol

I’m currently 23 and it’s been my dream for the passed year to open up my own comic shop. I appreciate videos like this and wonder if you plan on making more “insider” like videos? Thanks!

Surprised Image is using such cheap paper these days.

Lucky guy with that double cover

great information as always

6 hope that Spider boy isn't a bust.

I'm curious-if u get a box from a distributor and only get one or two damaged books out of the 200, do u even bother trying for replacements? Doesn't even seem worth the time or hassle, but I'm sure it happens all the time based on what I've seen in this vid.

So awesome!!!!

It's cool to see all the stuff behind the scenes.

Great info and explanation.

Very cool to get a glimpse of the Wizard behind the curtain! Thanks for posting this, Bry!

Great video!

Even as flawed as the direct distribution system is, you should see how bad the newsstand shipping and handling was. Comics were bundled like newspapers were with plastic bands or twine wrapped around the 50 75 book stack - sometimes with shrink wrap around it. The top & bottom books were always crushed by the bands and dinged on the corners. It's amazing that any of them are high grade!!

Awesome video, always great to see the behind the scenes stuff

Unfortunately the double cover has happened a few times on that book. I have seen 2 other videos with double covers. Let’s see how many show up at CGC.

Great video. Love the behind the scenes info. I was lucky enough to work in a comic shop between 1992 and 1994. Good times and great memories. I’m curious, obviously you are going big on Worldtree - what did you think of the story? Does it have legs? Can you see it breaking away from the pack and really getting people excited? The hype is certainly there. I’m hopeful that the hype isn’t misplaced.

As supposed to be!👍✔️

Thanks for the peak behind the curtain, so many of us collectors flirt with the idea of being shop owners and it is fun to learn more.

Very cool too see this.

Thanks for sharing

Cool video 😊

It’s crazy how this industry has the worst shipping policy but people use Comics as an investment

That shipping description certainly explains alot

It's incredible that companies don't take more care now that there are more than one distributor. Used to be only Diamond. All it would take is for a company to blow the competition away is to provide good quality control and good service or at least good packaging.

OFF TOPIC ! Hi Bry , saw you recently got a ASM 129 CGC OW-W ... I have the same copy . seeing as how its devalued by $15000 in the last 2 years , is it worth hanging on to ? as in,will it increase at more than inflation @ say 5% (UK) ? I appreciate you are a very busy man so if you cant send an answer can I ask your followers for their input ? Best wishes , RW_Comics .

Always cool videos

Lot of good information! Lot of learning points! Thanks for being a good teacher!

more behind the scenes! Excited for the fireside chat!

I have my childhood collection (1976-1994 ish) and love them. I never had a slabbed comic. It would be a good way to show others that comics really do have vale...if not in terms of money but appreciation of the art and writing.

Thank you for the education

Funny enough I just made my first preorder. I didn’t know why my lcbs were selling bad copies and now I know why. Hopefully my preorders are safe!

The damage risk makes me shiver

Thanks for the information

Nice score double cover. Love it. Still haven’t found any like that. Congrats

Thanks for sharing a behind-the-scenes look into comic distribution. Congrats on the double cover!

Thanks for the business insights! Distribution definitely needs to be improved.

How do they control retailers actually destroying miss prints and not just keeping some and selling as a “rare misprint”?

I love how much you bring us- the viewers- in on what the back end of the comic-book business. Dude, if you haven't yet, could you PLEASE do a bio of you: how old you are, when you first came to love comics, when (and why) you started to become a serious collector, what your first favorite book character was at first (and whether or not they're STILL your favorite), when/how you started your business, what it was like at first, what your biggest mistakes were (comic book business-wise) what keeps you going today (is it JUST money? And btw- NO JUDGEMENT; if, say, making money WAS AND IS your reason for having a shop well, that's called "Being a human that both needs and uses money to eat, drink and maintain shelter- so yeah, nbd if that's what drives you) and lastly, what is your outlook on the future of the comic-collecting industry; will it be here in, say, 20 years? I would love to interview yoU!

Anyway that's it from here. LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOUR CONTENT MY MAN!

I love insider information!!!

Nice insight.
