Vintage Coca-Cola Advertising: Collecting & Investing: An Introductory Primer on the Market Basics

[@mattstrott753]

I'm strictly an MTG player and collector but I'll never pass up an opportunity to learn something about markets and history. You're channel has aIways been interesting in the very least.

[@mattoreilly201]

love these deep dives on a single/ niche type of collectible! interesting to draw parallels between the ones i know about, or even markets for other asset classes.

[@moonlightfishin4113]

I would love to see additional videos on Coca Cola collecting. Love your informative content.

[@KeyKiller74]

Back in the 90's my dad had a party store & would get tons of free advertising from Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Budweiser, Marlboro our customers would ask us to sell some of our items. My dad made a ton of money of them I remember someone paid him $100 for a Bud blimp so he can add it to his man cave lol, I even sold some items as well, but never told my dad about since we had so many lol, Those were the good old days as my dad would say =) Kind a wish I held on to some because those items were made out of glass & metal seeing the new advertising items today there all made out of cheap plastic that won't last a year to hold up.

I'm involved in pokemon and I don't mind these videos as they show trends in past collectibles and we can learn from history and use it for future speculation.

[@lilmac-sh1xd]

Love all the videos .Gives a true antique collector/investor view of the modern run to collectables and alternative investments . Wisdom that should not be easily dismissed ...We need the glasses back tho . 😎

[@markjefferson7492]

What a fantastic video. I'm a collector of petroliana here in the UK, but over the past few years managed to collect 5 enamel buttons. I've just bought 2 NOS off eBay at a ridiculously cheap price, so bargains are still out there to be had! I'm going to take a look at your other video, and yea, i watched until the end :)

[@sandranelson7124]

( This is Tom, not Sandra. ) What a very informative video, sir!! Thank you for breaking down the do's and don't's of collective COKE advertising pieces. I love that COKE button sign you showed from your collection. Great looking MINT piece. I wish l had extra $$$$ to buy a COKE button sign like that. COKE had better advertising than PEPSI, l believe. (IMO) Thank you again for a great COKE collectibles video, sir. Take care.

Clear thoughts on the inequities of Reaganomics and how it affected the antique/luxury goods markets

[@coolguyxoxo]

Once again, great info. Thank you sir.

[@fuujinmugen]

Thank you Shawn, watched to the end, always tremendously enlightening Content. Regards from South Africa

[@heyhonpuds]

Hey Shawn, I also watched till the end. It’s a shame these more niche categories don’t pull the same amount of viewers as your video game uploads as they’re just as informative. Never know when you’re going to slip in a bit of hidden wisdom. Also a good reason to keep watching till the end 😉

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@DoctorDoom69]

Hey Sean , One day when you have time can you do a video about “selling too early” regarding investments , and how to analyse a collectible/antique for instance and project when your selling window is ? All the best Thankyou 😃👍🏽 , great video too ⭐️

[@ReservedInvestments]

'When I have time?' LOL. I'm still 70+ videos behind on this channel. A video like that was in the works awhile back, but I would have to go and see what happened to it.

[@DoctorDoom69]

Reserved Investments 😂 okay cool 👍🏽

[@collectableinvestments3077]

This guy is like the great value version of Rudy from Alpha Investments!

[@justineallen400]

Your a very good speaker. Very engaging . Very knowledgeable

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you!

[@Meat6669]

Would love to see a video on Old Oil/Gasoline advertising.

[@mikez2415]

Thank you for your videos

[@teetoo3790]

I love Coca-Cola. Warren Buffet's favorite drink.

[@marchome]

also Donald Trump :)

[@heyhonpuds]

L. Ron Hubbard’s too.

[@teetoo3790]

Must be something to it as Warren Buffet is now 90 years old. His diet is Coca-Cola and McDonald's.

[@matrixcmitech]

Found it! A+ content!

[@jonathanying3220]

watched til the end

[@Chimichanga_Collector]

Great stuff as always Shawn! I have a question about replacing old fluorescent light fixtures with LED lights in vintage advertisement pieces. I have done this on an old Playstation kiosk and on a World of Nintendo display cabinet. At the time, I favored a noise free better light over keeping it original. Do you think this hurt the value and if so, how badly?

[@ReservedInvestments]

Hard to say, but over the long term originality is usually coveted. That said, there are vintage neon signs that get refurbished all the time and it doesn’t hurt their overall value. Time will tell.

[@ddr2nite]

Not sure if it was intentional, but nice "Coca Cola" red shirt you got on Shawn! p.s. I'm still having a hard time getting used to seeing you without glasses... please put them back on :)

[@AnikaUS]

Curious about where you stand politically? I normally wouldn't ask someone but since you said we could comment about it I figured why not, would be interesting to learn more about you :) Also I watch all of your videos till the end, some of them I even rewatch. Allot of the stuff you talk about are collecting categories I'm not specifically interested in but just hearing the history of these different markets and the knowledge you have of them is enough to keep me coming back and I feel like I learn something new each video :) keep up the great work!

[@ReservedInvestments]

Sure, my political views were already noted in earlier videos. I lean left... ;)

[@goalazo93]

Amazing video :)

[@dhammar73]

If you read the forward in Petretti’s bible he didn’t feel the Internet (auction sites) was a greatest place to do commerce. Notice that was the last edition he printed and is now ironically selling his collection on eBay. I bid on a couple of items. I feel eBay is the better gauge to see where the market is.

[@jerryfernandez45]

i love the video wow

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you!

[@Mrkoolkat17]

Hey, I think your glasses fell off! Lasik? looks great if so!

[@ReservedInvestments]

Contacts, but thank you...

[@debbieverret4033]

I've been collecting, not just coke since 1980. Lot's of great sleepers back then. Vey hard to find the real thing anymore, too expensive.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Correct! The market is insane right now!

[@dhammar73]

That’s prolly enamel not spray paint. Enamel chips.

[@mariovalenzuela7153]

Coke is such a boomer soda. I’m going all in on mountain due and monster adverting

[@ReservedInvestments]

Way too new and way too much mass produced scarcity... ;)

[@tanL22]

All worthless!

[@BasTHoorn]

Question, is the bible for coca cola advertisements also international advertisements?

[@BasTHoorn]

*have

[@ReservedInvestments]

@@BasTHoorn It mainly focuses on the American market.
