Pawn Stars: RARE HOLY GRAIL Spider-Man Comic Book (Season 8) | History

[@jeffreymilburn3471]

I'm a collector myself, I would never take a COMIC BOOK like that, to a pawnshop. I'm taking it, straight to a COMIC BOOK store, PERIOD💯

[@christopherosburn1773]

While a comic book store knows more about the book, the condition and what it’s worth, there aren’t too many, if any that has the cash for a book like that. The pawn shop, especially this particular pawn shop, has the cash to buy it. If you want the most for a book like that, an auction or selling it yourself is the best way to go.

[@rjperfetto584]

Not even a Comic Book Store. Do it yourself or through a prime auction place like Sotheby's

As long as your hands are freshly washed it shouldn't affect the paper. Wearing gloves might raise the risk of tearing the fragile paper.

Bro he really just called a homeless guy off the street to evaluate the comic book

[@marthiousknowledge6752]

He's on their books! Its far more worth than $7000

[@noelnieves8635]

Thank goodness he didn’t sell it , he was about to get scammed. In that condition he would definitely get more than what he’s asking for

[@PerryComics]

Noel Nieve 100% even 16,000$ would of been a low ball

[@patchadams7301]

That is the lowest appraisal this show has ever had this book is worth way 10x what he offered or more

[@Mitjitsu]

Best I can do is 10 bucks, and I'd be taking a big risk.

[@BeanerJerkOff900]

The expert definitely undervalued the comic book

[@hellocollegejason198]

A 2.0 copy sold on Dec 15th for $13,700 and a 4.5 sold for $37,500 in October so the guy would have been better off keeping it.

[@shawnmalone9711]

I had a chance to buy Amazing Fantasy 15 with the first appearance of SpiderMan at a comic book shop in 1984. The comic book was in fair condition and was selling for $300.00 The stores owners only showed the comic book to regular customers and turned the pages to show there were no pages missing. The book was fairly decent and they said it would be a good investment for the future. In 1984 , I was a struggling college student ; my tuition was $180.00 a quarter , plus another $150.00 -$200.00 for textbooks. I declined to purchase the comic book because I was more into the DC universe. In the 1980s , we didn't have the internet , but we had comic book shops with hot titles like the X-Men , Daredevil , The Teen Titans , etc. People read comic books back in the day because that is what we had for entertainment. I did buy Frank Miller's Batman , the Dark Knight Saga in 1986. They are the original and are still in good condition. These are some of the comic books , I will leave to my son. If he's smart , he'll sell them on E-bay😁😁😁😁

[@theoneandonly6431]

Corey was right. He could've actually made money by charging people to come into the store to look at that book.

[@devilbunny2000]

" I have this suitcase with $785,000 in it." "yeah I couldn't go any higher then $3600."

[@LATVERIAN1]

"Amazing Fantasy"#15 is to the silver age; what "Action Comics"#1 is to the golden age. To put it simply; "Amazing Fantasy"#15 is considered the holy grail of all silver-age books. And as of late, this book has been sky-rocketing in price. If I had been the owner, of this book, I'd request to deal with Rick. I wouldn't let Chumlee even go near it. And aside from his cue cards, Corey, I really doubt, would have the slightest clue about the extreme significance of this iconic book. Rick is the most professional, of the three. So it would really have to be him I'd deal with. p.s. Corey's buddy underestimated the value of this book terribly. If Corey had excepted an offer of $13,000.00, then he would have made a killing with this. Corey blew it BIG TIME!

[@TheBermudaMan]

0:06 Imagine if he came in with an authentic copy of ACTION COMICS #1 in pristine condition. COREY: (sees cover) Sweet merciful God... AUSTIN: (touches it) Lemme see that. COREY: (kills Austin)

[@celo9373]

The guy didn’t google the right comic book.

[@jgiant7656]

9.6 for 1 million he said, but a “5” for 7 thousand glad he got it outta there asap

[@mute1050]

I hope that guy gets a better deal lmao those guys were straight out ripping him off

[@danzigvssartre]

The going value right now: $43,000. So glad that guy kept it.

[@XCaliDan]

49k for a mid range raw copy. Multiple times that if it was slabbed. (Sent to CGC)

[@pendragon551]

More like a 3.5 but even at that, the seller was at a reasonable price. Their "expert" was way off.

[@geronimo9097]

I think you're right about their expert being off on the grading but pawn shops are not going to give you what they're worth. I'm thinking they offer around 40% of what they're worth.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

"One of the, like, holy grails of comic books." Once Corey's hair falls out, his transformation into his father will be complete.

[@forever-pk1hn]

If you've seen a picture of Rick when he was young he looks just like Corey.

[@marbleuous2451]

Fun fact: sometimes they would give away comics for free because having to reheat the ink printer was too expensive.

[@competetodefeat4610]

YT comment sections are AMAZING. They are always full of dozens and dozens of experts on whatever is in a video. Simply astounding!

[@charlessprovieri5981]

these experts never wear gloves when they handle these things

[@burtburt2263]

It's on Purpose! It's their way of saying "Get it graded, and appraised, and I can't low ball you!"

[@BCfightan]

Charles Sprovieri Charles Sprovieri apparently gloves make it worse, unless your hands are filthy it’s not gonna matter if you touch it barehanded... gloves make your sense of touch a lot worse and it’s easier to accidentally grip and rip pages so people tend to consider clean hands the best

[@sadflute8639]

Because they are not real experts

[@sadflute8639]

@@BCfightan no you wear gloves for old and expensive comics because the oil on your skin and it leaves stains or water marks however you say it

[@dha588]

Thats true. Our finger prints have a lot of oil. For example, touch the phone screens after you cleaned it.

[@danielmanning2319]

A 5.0 Amazing Fantasy 15 is worth way more than that. A 4.5 sold last week for more than $40,000

[@balhar2000]

I love how Corey looks as though he's swinging for the fences when he goes in for a handshake

[@ownthevoid]

What

[@balhar2000]

he makes a huge swing with his arm when he goes to shake hands

[@fortred735]

Yes he does. I call it the Haymaker handshake

[@georgemusic4all4seasons]

Corey comes off as, look at me I’m cool, when he never was.

[@SuperXshrimp]

4:20 Chumlee looking so lost right there, like he was in his own World

[@MagnumSkyWolf]

Wonder how many people think this show isn't scripted and actually think it's real

[@DMN.0000]

ikr

[@justinandsheba]

They would have been stealing it at 16 grand. The shop blew it here.

[@cosmokramer9292]

Seller: This is the rarest of all comic books. Straight out of the silver age of comics. I want $10000 for it. Pawn shop turds: Sorry man, I cant buy this rare item, I have got a show to run here.

[@jh9875]

A 5.5 graded one went for $6,200 recently. People think that just because something is cool and rare, instantly makes it worth 99 trillion dollars. Market value is a very fine science

[@gsneff]

Rebecca would have been a more enjoyable expert to bring in

[@oscar20862086]
