In this episode of Across the Marvelverse, I’m joined by my good friend Donny, better known as The Real McCoy Collector. Donny has built a reputation for curating a thoughtful Marvel collection that spans across cards, comics, and original art.
We dive into his Marvel story, his strategies for collecting, and the role comics play in shaping his approach. Then, we shift gears into a full Marvel Comics 101 crash course — covering the eras of Marvel history (Golden, Silver, Bronze, Copper, and Modern), what makes a key issue, how to store and display comics, and what drives value in the market. Whether you’re a card collector curious about comics, or a new fan looking to learn the essentials, this episode is a true bridge between both worlds.

Jimmy
Hey, I’m Jimmy — I host Across the Marvelverse, a podcast where I talk all things Marvel with collectors, fans, and friends. I’m a big Scarlet Witch collector, always chasing cards that tell a story, and I spend way too much time playing Marvel Snap. I’m also into Dragon Ball and love collecting from that universe too. You might know me online as Hermit Style. And when I’m not deep in the hobby, I’m probably at Disney with my wife — it’s our favorite place on Earth. I’m just here to share the passion, connect with the community, and have fun geeking out over the things we love.
