Buying Comics Has Never Been Easier

[@russhorii6290]

The wonderful thing about your business is the passion and authenticity that each of you brings to your claim sales and video content. You do your homework and it shows! What a great team!

[@stephanholder6240]

How about a behind the scenes of you buying a collection?

[@brychology]

Great point about selling! Some people think it’s easy selling comics but to do it right is a lot of work! Great job!

[@jka8008]

The parts where u go on about how passionate you are about comics....man that was great.....I got 100 plus short boxes in the spare room and you have got me up going through them....love the content...your daughters great too ! :)

[@MoneyballComics]

Thank you so much for putting this behind-the-scenes footage together! I loved watching this. Everything looks like hard work but a lot of fun at the same time. So awesome that you get to do all of this with family.

[@JavyGwaltney3]

I now have a True Love 1, Grips 2, and full runs of Alien World and Prez all high grade. I blame you! I had never heard of these until you showed them! Keep up the good work. Thank You!

[@byronbailey3311]

So much fun. Thank you for letting us in🖖

[@josephbarbera9220]

It is definitely a lot of work to selling comics if you want to be successful at it! Informative content!

[@rwc3500]

So much fun to watch! - Felt like I was watching a 60 minutes behind the scenes expo! (I know I'm dating myself with referencing 60 minutes :). But seriously, this was an excellent video - appreciate ya'll taking the time to take us behind the scenes. thxs!

[@pbales8951]

I loved this behind-the-scenes video! Really good stuff, as always!

[@StillOnly35c]

Hi team, great to see behind the scenes; love your claim sales. On the Avengers Issue 125 you mentioned at 31:18; can't wait to get it in hand! Will likely submit it at Heroes Con, so will let you know how it goes with CGC grading.

[@ohitsallama]

Loved this video. Fun to see behind the scenes. You have a great business. Love the passion, knowledge, and authenticity.

[@Ed_Kelly]

Great behind the scenes. I’ve watch plenty of claim sales, I try not to miss FPVC. They’re a lot of fun.

[@JohnSmith-ib8qr]

Long time subscriber, haven't brought anything, yet...just wanted to say you got a great team and I really enjoy your informative and delightful videos!

[@OilersWorkshop]

It’s the excitement and comraderie of an auction but you don’t know what’s coming so you get a bit of a roller coaster ride

[@brainawayfilms1687]

Loved this insight into your world.

[@williambethea8703]

This was an amazing video. You and your family are heroes in my eyes. Thank you for sharing your process and putting it all on family. You have an incredible family. I can't wait to catch you on Instagram. This was a unforgettable experience. It is always a pleasure and privilege watching this channel. Be well👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿🫡

[@gregm7269]

Love these "behind the scenes" segments...scared me for a sec when I thought you were just going to ship in just the USPS envelope and no Gemini! lol

[@actionjacksan]

Thanks for showing what goes on behind the scenes! Great stuff!!

[@CBs_Bill_from_Montana]

You continuously make videos I wish you would make (without me asking). It’s endlessly enjoyable.

[@Saboten_Ken]

Great video ! I’ll definitely check out your IG live sales in the future ! Particularly liked how you pack raw books and your emphasis on “strict grading” !

[@luismendoza4514]

Awesome to see the behind the scenes work ❤✌️

[@Mr.Digit115]

great idea for a video,...i enjoyed it.

[@poing333]

Owow! The Frank Forte shout out! He's got a cool Ebay with a lot of original art for real affordable prices. Also backed his making more of his cartoon creepies pin collection recently((:

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

We will put the eBay store in our description.

[@donaldhaga956]

Awesome video and I really enjoy your content. Please keep up the good work

[@DIBEE2024]

Keep in mind some are grated at there level, Keep out part , restored label grade. Meaning will get purple label.

[@silveragedc]

What on earth does that mean? 😂

[@johnrichardson8408]

Great show guys loved it! John from Montreal

[@MichaelKimp-bp7ii]

Wow, you guys are working hard

[@duelist57]

Never disappoint!!

[@graduator14]

41:10 Is that you after a long day after work? :p

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

Yes it is as a matter of fact. :)

[@21Million]

what the hell? is that a stack of NM richie rich? i never see them that nice anywhere

[@anuradason9542]

Like getting presents 😂

[@dennisvaughan8456]

Just curious. When buying a collection what do you pay the seller, percentage wise based on the current priceing?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

It really depends. I buy raw books (some people don’t), so era, title and condition really come in to play. Where a comic store would give $50 a long box, I typically come in double to triple depending on title. For key books, golden and silver age in any grade, high grade bronze or high demand moderns, I can pay up to 50%-70% of current value. Things that are hard to sell get the least and things that are easy for me to sell get the most. That’s my model, but most buyers aren’t even close to that. I sell a lot of books, so I need good books and I’m willing to pay.

[@tony1984la]

Where was Nathan! 🤘🏽

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

He doesn’t care to video recorded, but he is there!

[@eggplantcomics8336]

The ring light isn’t on…is it just a tri-pod?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

We use the ring light when we film videos but during the claim sales we don’t use it because it causes a really bad glare on the comics

[@Bather12]

Lovely stuff - will you guys ship to the UK?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

We do. I don’t think the hours we do our sales work very well though. We did some earlier shows just for the UK and Australia, but we aren’t quite there yet . We will do more in the future.

[@johnmoran6418]

​@futurepastvintagecollectables I'm up for uk show if you run any

[@Bather12]

@@futurepastvintagecollectables me too - great to hear!

[@robbin8300]

Nice insight. Are these books cleaned and pressed beforehand?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

It depends. I try to quick press every book I can from a customer service perspective, even if it doesn’t improve the grade. I don’t clean or press all books, and I don’t go to elaborate lengths on almost any books. I also grade every book I sell, even new books.

[@AsylumPress]

ha nice!!!

[@thomasbernhart8595]

How do u price collections?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

It depends on a lot of factors, such as condition and book popularity, but primarily using pricing tools and sales data.

[@mauisam1]

How did you charge for shipping and did you ship USPS Flatrate?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

USPS Ground. We weigh everything.

[@xgreatnwcomicsx]

In general, I don't like wasting time on claim sales when I don't know what's offered. If I'm looking for Spawn, why would I want to sit through 2 hours of Marvel books?

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

⚡💥🎉

[@KendallKidd63]

What? You mean there is other comics besides Marvel?!? 😮😅

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

Haha!

[@michaelzborowski4683]

Hi, guys, I am trying to click thumbs up but there is only a thumbs down on my screen. Did I do something wrong?

[@michaelzborowski4683]

There is no way you would get 247 thumbs down. What is going on?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

That’s strange. It appears they are thumbs up. We don’t really get thumbs down, typically not even one, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
