THE VINTAGE COMIC DEAL I NEVER EXPECTED!

THE VINTAGE COMIC DEAL I NEVER EXPECTED!
I was invited to come look at a fella's collection. He was looking to downsize. The pictures he sent did NOT do this pick justice! I couldn't believe it when the silver age comics started coming out.

Man it's outrageous for someone to call you a scam artist. I've seen a ton of your videos and you are so fair and honest it hurts. 😂

[@FroggyFlips]

Haha, I appreciate that!

[@jelle-rj2ku]

@illuminati Comics bro exactly that book alone is 500 or more on ebay and he got the whole stack for 400

[@FroggyFlips]

Pretty far fetched to say $500 in that condition. It sold for $200.

[@jelle-rj2ku]

@@FroggyFlips well yeah i went based of 1 frame, idk what the overall condition was but i sad a lot of them on Ebay between 400-1000 in all conditions etc, still a very nice flip 💰

I'm over in the UK. We don't really have yard sales over here. The nearest we have are carboot sales. But me and my daughter decided to buck the trend and held our first yard sale last weekend, all inspired by your videos. You do a great job. You are really fair and genuine. Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work man.

[@FroggyFlips]

That is soooo awesome! I’ve honestly always waited for a UK resident to tell me they had a yard sale. So cool! How’s ya do?

[@winterlong4450]

@@FroggyFlips It was good. My daughter wanted to off load her LOL doll collection and other toys as she wants to start collecting retro toys. Got a feeling it could get expensive. Just wish I hadn't thrown my Star Wars originals away as in the 90's.

[@KoDiEsMiTh09]

Yard sales do happen in U.K in the summer to be fair you often see people just sell random stuff from their drives but it’s not as common as usa, as you say boot sales are the only real thing close which in comparison may aswell be a flea market

[@wondon2992]

So how did your sale go? It’s crazy bc I’m the states we have to get a permit that good for 3 days and we can only get two a year! Something about taxes and to many cash sales ! Perhaps you could start a fad!

[@unfazedmonkey874]

carboot sales are like flee markets.... yard sales are yard sales

[@jaredandmaddi]

Commenting again, I don't own one vintage toy.. a matter of fact all the toys you have are nearly twice my age ahah. But I can't say it enough how much I enjoy these videos and love looking at the toys & finds. This KZbin genre is totally out of my realm and interests, but you are one of my favorite youtubers to watch. I think that says something! Keep doing you Anthony :)

[@Nathan93Baker]

Your comic book rack is a great display! The biggest problem with comics besides the vast quantity is that no-one is able to display them properly to show off the front cover. They usually stuffed in boxes making it overwhelming to dig through or hard to sell.

[@FroggyFlips]

Absolutely! I was stoked to find those racks!

[@J-man1017]

​@@FroggyFlips Hey froggy I don't have Instagram but how can I contact u in have a bunch of Tmnt, GI Joe, X-Men,Ghostbusters toys ,vehicles, bases and just miscellaneous memorabilia like turtles watches,marbles Ghostbusters telephone just an idea of what I'm talking about from when I was a spoiled rotten kid... Im needing to get rid of them and would love them to go to someone like u. I can send u some pics of the stuff and can see if its anything u would be interested in. I also have a bunch of the 99s star wars which I know isn't every collectable I kinda swapped to sports cards and stuff I'm the 90s like 96 so anything before then I probably have technkdrone,sewer,blimp pizza shooter ,gi Joe bases vehicles ,X-Men blackbird,sentinels ,playsets, echto1 the proton pack and gun the ghost trap ,tmnt masks with the pads and weapon with the nose attached if its something I wouldn't mind checking out lmk how I can get in touch... I was the type.of .kid that collected and didn't go hardcore on my toys my friend and I would spend hrs picking which characters we would have and never play cuz it'd be hrs of arguing who got wolverine or dead pool

My sons have Tales Of Suspense #20, which my friend gave them. They had boxes of 10 and 12 cent comics they bought back in the 90's when they were kids and no one collected much comics. They mainly had gold and silver age and specific modern age. They all were stolen off them. Little by little they're getting them all back

Having stumbled upon your videos, I took a shot at watching one on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I've since watched a lot of your recent videos. I'm from the UK but loved M.A.S.K, TMNT, Thundercats, Knight Rider, A-Team, Star Wars etc etc back in the 80s as a kid. So watching these videos, brings about a whole heap of nostalgia for me. . It also makes me wish I'd been delicate with my toys and kept the boxes...Lol

You did best on the Spider-Man stack. Those books add up fast, they hold value, and if you try to sell them they go fast. Almost everything up to the 330s are strong sellers, but your pickup up of silver and bronze and the size of that stack was impressive.

[@chrishall897]

[@FroggyFlips]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@noddy7215]

Totally agree!

[@vintagevultures7535]

Anyone that calls you a scam artist for the deals you get is just a hater. Its nice when you know what somethings worth to try to be fair especially with someone you want to continue business with.....but with all that being said , the person with the product that is selling the product is responsible for figuring out what the product is worth to them and the price they want for it. If a buyer goes above and beyond to make it a great deal for both sides that is great, but by no means should you be required to pay more money than what someone asks. These people forget also that each product that is bought will sit on a shelf till someone buys , You in the meantime have to pay storage rent, shipping, selling fees on ebay etc, and your time. This is the whole reason why some just sell items to get rid of them because they dont want to put that time and effort into things. You go above and beyond being fair with the people you deal with. Keep up the good work.

[@FroggyFlips]

I appreciate you, thank you!

[@synisterpeep339]

Man I would have paid 2k for everything. Even low grade of high end books would make the money back. Like early copies of “World’s finest” are always good especially issue #3. But always look for Marvel and Dc horror books. Much like EC they are very hot with collectors. And I would have cried if I got the TMNT books. That’s my love in life.

[@Katwoman4318]

I have the first print of Damned CGC 10 both covers and they are only worth 300ish. But when DC pulled the comic they were going for $1500ish

[@JohnWilsonComicsGuy]

Knowing you aren't necessarily a comic guy, I was screaming at the screen that you'd better pick up the Forever People #1 and Shazam! #1 if nothing else. You wouldn't regret it.

[@FroggyFlips]

Hahah, glad I grabbed them!!

[@JohnWilsonComicsGuy]

@@FroggyFlips Me too. You won't get rich off of them but they are significant touchstones in comics history.
