Have an exit plan collectors! It’s crazy to see things like this, a guy amassing a 300k book collection, spending probably upwards of a million, and his heirs sell it off at $1 a comic. Just can’t collect and hoard without an exit plan, without some guidance to your heirs of what to do and how to sell. Can’t help but to think of the Edgar Church collection, $50m collection and the family sold it off probably for a few thousands.

@DavidClark-vu3dw 11 месяцев назад

Well, the collection wasn't worth that at that time. Google 1977 Overstreet guide.

@keytothegate68 11 месяцев назад

There was never a million bucks going into this collection. It looks like this all came from mortar and brick store that closed . A 50-100K is more realistic. The original owners were ordering dozens of same books for maybe a dollar a piece in bulk purchases. etc.. It depends on the keys as to how valuable the collection was.

@benmatthaei3576 Год назад

Just finding stacks of keys in the midst of all that craziness is just insane. The next time I get accused by the wife of being a hoarder, I am showing her some of these pics from this video. Great Find, the work will be worth it in the end.

@Kevin_Drone Год назад

Wow, What a collection of comics!! Thanks for showing some of it. Can’t wait to see more!!

@jayperezart Год назад

Thanks for letting us in to the process! I am exhausted after seeing those U-haul trucks! 😱

@goldenageguru Год назад

Thanks for watching and the support.

@kangtheconqueror9545 Год назад

These are my favorite episodes. Tom and Guru talking shop. I totally get where Guru is coming from. I have an anxiety disorder, and when I'm focused on something, that is the only thing I can think about.

@goldenageguru Год назад

Glad someone understands. 😁

@genekehoe6345 Год назад

That Punch 12 and the Scarecrow Detective are my favorites! What a great story! I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to deal with that volume of comic books! I could never do it! It would kill me! (I'm old!)

@DarthLemon616 Год назад

This whole conversation was a great leaning experience! Because I'm new to collecting comics (2022 is when I started) hopefully one day I'll be able to see some of those classic books in person

@masspeanut Год назад

Just as I’m about to go to bed, I have an hour+ video to watch 😂😂

@discontinued692 Год назад

Lol. I would need a couple weeks off to go through this.

@shadowman8786 Год назад

It's so on a big scale it's mind blowing. I remember learning of the Mile High story and the logistics of moving the boxes. A massive undertaking. Great video!!

@richardwilliams6239 Год назад

Love the Crashdown cover! I sure hope Tom hooks up the Mystery Mail Call with a copy!!! I've been a member for close to 5 years. Maybe 4 or 5 months after you started the MMC. Just a little nostalgia and a long box later. Thanks for all the great book

@fireguyryan9362 Год назад

Thanks for all your support! You didn't hear it from me...but let's just say there's no way we wouldn't hook up our own community with an exclusive variant for our own comic! ❤️👀

@anakincrespin Год назад

Alex Ross is a living legend for sure. Great podcast guys 👍

@Stampede215 Год назад

What an insane collection!!! Congrats guys, glad you were able to pull this off!! Can't wait to see more books from this collection!!! Cheers!!

@CardShopReality Год назад

Great history. I'm looking forward to revisiting this episode in future years. Thumbs up Jeff & Tom for getting that collection.

@bencouey6354 Год назад

I love the Hot 10 you guys do each week, however the back stories you discuss on artist, writers, and even buying collections is the real "meat on the bone" for fans that love comics and so therefor I love the Hot 10, but love the stories on Bags & Boards. Keep it coming. Love the story about driving in the car with the kids and getting the call saying your out as a potential buyer, we've all been there, Hell I was stressing out for you just hearing about it, lol. Glad you guys got back in and got the collection. Lastly...............Trust the Process!!!

@goldenageguru Год назад

“Trust the Process” 😂

@anakincrespin Год назад

Bags n Boards is where it's at!

@mergebow Год назад

Great story. I wish you the best with getting all the value you can out of the collection.

@vetrotek Год назад

Thank you for sharing this. You guys have contributed so much to the hobby. So happy to see that you got a collection that you deserve.

@verified893 Год назад

Please keep posting these podcasts. Great content from start to finish.

@leeniren3706 Год назад

This is so overwhelming just to watch I cannot imagine how overwhelming it was to actually be immersed in all those books. I think it is something that is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am happy for the two of you to have been successful in obtaining the collection.

@taggieproductions Год назад

Why does Jeff sound so sad when he says tentacles has he been scared for life at one point with tentacles 😂

@goldenageguru Год назад

😂 I have had to move a couple of wild snakes in my yard of late so maybe it was in the back of my mind.

@discontinued692 Год назад

I would worry about fire, if I had that many books.

@scottsimon615 Год назад

Loved this story! Thank you for sharing it. Can’t wait to keep hearing future adventures… ❤😎

@Revtwenty Год назад

This is the story I was soooooo waiting for - thanks for telling it all guys! Love it!!

@seanmitchell8151 Год назад

Dude , San Diego is so legit, not even watered down or overhyped. It’s all comics and no BS pop culture dingleberries. Soooooooooooooo jealous.

@fedenciogonzalezjr9051 Год назад

Really cool friendship to basically give someone some expensive comic book run like nothing to you're friend thats pretty special and a good ass friend but you guys help each other and thats the most important thing in the world 🌎.

@bencouey6354 Год назад

Yes, Wolverine & Hulk rivalry on screen would be great.

@darth_batman8190 Год назад

Great video and Mile High Comics is a name I have not heard in some time. Loved hearing the story of acquiring this collection.

@darylrogers2626 Год назад

Super interesting. Comics pure and simple…..and no MCU spec.

@lukesimms99 Год назад

Awesome podcast, so glad the deal worked out in the end!

@donaldmiller9648 Год назад

It looked like that collector may have been buying some books from Pasaiic Books in 1970s if he had multiple copies of Atlas and Shazam etc as Passiic used to wholesale recent back issues in multiple quantities...

@allanc5323 Год назад

Will your team be selling long boxes of this horde at Grit City Con, Tacoma, WA 2023?

@AG3NTXXXKALO Год назад

I need to see more of this collection. Hope to see this on whatnot

@MrTommyMayo 11 месяцев назад

Jeff is one of the most genuine collectors I've seen on social media in the comic community. He just seems like one of us that's in it for the love of the game like the rest of us. Much respect.

@CoachDale_TopNotchMuayThai Год назад

Don’t give me hope on a Wolverine Vs Hulk….. Don’t you do it !!! Haha 😆

@lafanfarlo4872 Год назад

I'm glad you addressed the delay on Crashdown. It jumped to October so it got me scared a bit.

@fireguyryan9362 Год назад

Nope, it's still happening! We're excited for everybody to get their hands on it 👀

@mythirdlife101 Год назад

You need help going through these, I could drive up sometime and help you go through them, bag and board, etc. I would love to see this collection.

@Comicbookyoutubersrock 11 месяцев назад

The World’s Finest 3 and Tec 73 in the approximate grades are closer to $30K, and that’s if they were confirmed/graded. Raw then less.

@paoloaccomando5249 11 месяцев назад

Tom and Jeff,I'm worried for you guys,seriously, if you guys don't hit on a few monster Keys.....yikes....your grading costs alone...I pray you boys hit on at least 3 monster Grails!!! Keep up the passionate, wonderful work you guys do!! Thank you!!!

@bahumit12 11 месяцев назад

My only complaint is Chopper should not be permanently attached. They should have left either a slot or a removable/changeable cover for that area.

@TheSameoldjoe Год назад

That is a lot of money to clear someone's house.

@popsequentialism7213 11 месяцев назад

Freudian slip about that Detective #73: Jeff called it a Bill Finger cover, but of course it is a Jerry Robinson cover with a story likely written by Finger.

@mrdigit3353 Год назад

wow guys, awesome find-congrats sealing the deal,....was it worth it? dunno. its too hard to tell what all is there.... i was always about keeping the best stuff myself, flush the rest,...but what a mindblower to even attempt to come up with an offer, theres so much stuff i was always about keeping the best stuff myself, flush the rest,..so- how bout this? weekend before a major con near you, already have a small warehouse rented and slam it full of dollar books, or $3,$5 whatever your price point needs to be and you can still have some wall books behind the stock....and have a pre-wonder minicon or pre rose city, etc,...just an idea they do it before san diego i think just an idea🤔

@carlonbass 11 месяцев назад

Awesome. Just starting this. Saw some of the early videos on the collection. Very exciting to see more on it.

@brucecree9170 Год назад

I see a LOT of dollar bin collectibles. How do you plan to move all that inexpensive paper from your RU-vid/WhatNot channels?

@hi-octanecomics404 11 месяцев назад

what a terrific and sobering story as you go through this purchase. it's something everyone who wants to get into comic book investing should watch. of course, (practically) no one is getting into buying a collection this size, but smaller collection purchases include many of the things you guys went through. it's WORK. great vid.

@toyfederation 11 месяцев назад

@lifegood3322 Год назад

Do you have to pay inventory taxes? That would be a bummer! I'm still jealous....I think...! 🤔

@Asian_Connection 11 месяцев назад

only 350k, I would have paid that

@nighttigercomics7323 11 месяцев назад

Killer books, Mark. Crime Does Not Pay is a fun series to read. Ive yet to see a Charles Biro cover that was any good. He also hired ghost artists and put hos sig on their work. 😅Nice Atlas crime comic. The Rangers is the prize. Fox publications never skimps on art.

@michaelclarke9976 Год назад

I know the under bidder for this collection

@joshualittrell2457 11 месяцев назад

This would be a very exciting process however I would also be scared shitless spending that amount of money on comics. Shit I’m scared when I spend a few hundred on one book😂 but you guys are most def my hero’s on this one. I’m happy to follow the story of your find.

@MetalBum Год назад

@binkysphinx 10 месяцев назад

Lol, there it is again... The ol' classic "Oh, but we have so many costs involved and it will take so long to sell the lower value stuff" nonsense that dealers tell people with massive collections. You could set 95% of this collection on fire and still walk away with triple your money in a down market.

@user-bk2zv7pu3q Год назад

Great show guys. Long time fan. Been reluctant to make the time commitment to the bags and boards, but when I saw the subject, I dove in and glad I did. Nice job.

@allenschmitz9644 Год назад

Hearing about the process and sealing the deal makes me wanna punch someone in the face. No process should take that many weeks. Don’t play wit the money or the product.

@RichardAcosta-ov4tx Год назад

how many spider-man fallout#4 did you get in that collection

@jayncoke 11 месяцев назад

Just catching up on the story now on that massive collection acquisition... I'm curious to know if the other "interested parties" did their own research or did the owner give your hard-earned work to them? Like did you give the owner the list of key comics, your estimated value to the other bidders and they just swooped in and tried to just outbid? Hopefully not...

@porthos5718 Год назад

This is such a crazy story, how can you not get that way with all that cash 💰 offered.

@anthonythomasexperience Год назад

Just a swweett collection.😊

@bronzevillecomics2581 Год назад

Amazing story. I can’t imagine how much work it is to go through all those multiples of 90s filler. Was he a big Valiant speculator? Then a lot will look like every well picked flea market box.

58:25 they start covering the numbers

@MetalBum Год назад

@@Gordypowoh thanks man. I actually saw it later. 350k was good price. But yeah lots of risk too and they have costs I’m sure. I bet with those golden age keys they might be sitting on 1.5m or even more

@faithfamilyseller2991 Год назад

@interzone119 9 месяцев назад

At average comic price per book... $3.00 (regardless of what it is) You have a million dollar collection....

@variantinkcollectibles Год назад

Absolutely killer idea and tactic to bring examples of graded books and what their counterparts look like at each grade level. Helps level the playing field and bring sellers down to reality. Everyone thinks they're gonna retire off their dads copy of superman 75.

When you mentioned BOY COMMANDOS run at least twice.. I assume you are referring to the GOLDEN AGE one not the one which DC did in 1970's?

Just to let Jeff know I would bag and board the comics I’ll you gotta give me like a couple comics.

@Just_Pele Год назад

So they were taking people's offers and using the offers as bids and pumping up the dollar amount? You know I do this for a living, and that "process" is designed to cause paranoia and distrust, to create a bidding war. That's why I do "first offer, final offer". After we do a thorough evaluation, I make my best offer out of the gate. Then it's good for a set duration of time, and I won't budge, to keep it all from taking months to close. I'm glad you got it completed and it worked out for you, guys. You're more patient and trusting than I am.
