I've been buying from mycomicshop almost exclusively for nearly 25 years now, and I never liked that the slab boxes they ship in were too oversized for the slabs. I started consigning with them a couple years ago to sell some of my CGC books i bought from them years back and shipped them back to them in those boxes but started wrapping them in bubble wrap so they couldn't bounce around so much and lo and behold the next CGC books I bought from them started coming in wrapped in bubble wrap lol 😀
Too many scammers out there and unfortunately still many people falling for it! If people ignored this too good to be true stuff, it possibly would end.
I’ve actually seen this listing because it’s in my area . I also believe the last location I remember was in Connecticut . When things look too good to be true , they usually are 💯
I don’t buy anything on Instagram. I only buy on eBay where I can get my money back if I don’t get the item. The major red flag is if a seller tries to get buyer to complete the purchase outside of eBay.
Seeing old comics from the 70’s, takes me back, I had a micronauts number 1, unfortunately it was pretty well read, I don’t think it would have made it into the 9’s grade tier.
It’s so unfortunate that there are people like this in the collector hobby. This is one of many reasons why I miss how collecting used to be with brick and mortar. Yes we now have instant access to anything we’re looking for but that comes at a cost. Thank you for the video.
Just a FYI, the age of the account isn't always a dead giveaway. Sometimes they can hack into an older account with good standing and change the info and you would never know.
unfortunaly Scammers still scam because they are successful, for example the Indian scammers target elderly people because even if 100 don't fall for it, it only takes one person to fall to profit
I’m glad I got these books to you Bry . Not only do you give fair prices . You get these books out to the community. I will make sure I get you more great books. Plus I will recommend you highly .
My guess is that TMNT book is elusive because Turtles fans aren't necessarily comic book collectors, they're Turtles collectors. The comic is just another item on their shelf or wall. Same thing with Star Wars and Star Trek. Lots of Star Wars collectors buy the comics.
Great video Bry! I’m surprised you have not talked about the bending of the inner well in CGC books yet. I guess if it has not happened to you then you really don’t have a whole lot to say because I have not received books in a while from them either.
Yeah my comics shop is sick for large orders. Best value, you can easily piece together a high-value order from the selection. It takes research but there are always good prices on there.
Wow, well I fell for one of the scammers. Some lady in Russia that was on eBay was selling amazing fantasy 15 8.0 restored for $8000. Of course that would be in the $20,000 plus range… obviously I never received the book but I got my money back through PayPal.. and on the other hand, there are still many many people that have no clue that Comic Books are worth money. Some people do not check on eBay or any social media so they might not have any knowledge of Comic Books… but like you said, if it’s too good to be true, of course you are going to get scammed
There will always be unsavory characters lurking in the weeds, looking to fleece the unwary. I’ve been ripped off a few times, happily not for monstrous $$$. Stay safe out there folks.
My man, you are a credit to the comic book community. You're doing the Lord's work. Keep it up. Your video shows why I don't buy on Facebook. Only WhatNot and ebay. Ebay has its issues but it's the safest place around. Btw, love my Wilbur collection purchases.
I've been lucky with all of my transactions thus far. I did have a book I sent get hung up in the mail for weeks and one I bought, too but they both worked out. They both were through eBay.
Couldn't they accept your paypal payment and send you a box that's empty or a different book? This would show on the tracking the book was delivered and they get the money and you don't receive the book.
I think of all the content you never see…….it reminds me of a girl that loved butterflies so much…I thought that was so sweet….until see proudly showed me a case of them pinned to a board, framed….it reminds me of looking at the front of a comic, what if you never read it…what are you getting? Have a great day!
The fact that people are willing to sell their soul for such a minimal amount of money is beyond cringe. I hope enlightened minds will be able to sift thru these demons.. but either way.. they will be judged!
This is why it’s important to buy from a certified dealer. Not only do they have your best interest at heart, their livelihood is at stake as well. Be careful out there, folks!
You know what's true? My buddy once found this book at a flea market for a buck about 20 years ago. I remember how happy he was and he knew its worth! I don't know comics but that one I know lol! 😂 Beware of scammers!
This photo was lifted from an ebay sale from May 26th. It was a buy it now for over $12000. Same book, same carpet, 100% scam
Thank you, Detective. :D
@@allisknu11 Batman ain't got nothing on me😜
Good to expose these scammers and let collectors know what to look out for.
These kind of scams are pretty common on EBAY too. A tell-tale sign is if the seller directs you to an external website to complete the transaction.

So many scams throughout everyday life. It’s such a pain, and they are getting more and more sophisticated and sometimes very aggressive. Despicable
It's terrible that people do this kind of thing. Thank you for the heads up.
Be careful out there. I myself have run into many scammers. Collect safely!
"get a job scammer" is classic 😂😂
I saw a high grade copy of Action Comics #1 for $3000 on Facebook marketplace the other day. You're telling me that wasn't real?
Recently started getting into collecting comics and this is one of my biggest fears!! Thank you for being so informative with us.
Too many scammers out there and unfortunately still many people falling for it!
If people ignored this too good to be true stuff, it possibly would end.
It's like they say,stand for something, or fall for anything. Look out for the tap your card at the ATM too.
Really sad how many people have no problem doing things that hurt others.

Very good points in how to spot a scammer my friend, thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Bry!

Bry is the best comic book dealer (and all-around good guy)!
🙏🏻
I would never buy a book like that on Ebay anyway. Thanks for the info Bry, I hate scammers! Thanks for putting her in her place.
Just a FYI, the age of the account isn't always a dead giveaway. Sometimes they can hack into an older account with good standing and change the info and you would never know.
I'm always surprised at how bold scammers are
Woah! Thanks again for the great advice and heads up.
Good informational & educational video. Thank you.
Thank you for shedding the light on things like this !!
Scammers are the worst but as a buyer we must be aware they are out there
The fact people can scam someone and not feel any sense of remorse is beyond me
The fact people still fall for this is beyond me.
unfortunaly Scammers still scam because they are successful, for example the Indian scammers target elderly people because even if 100 don't fall for it, it only takes one person to fall to profit
Great info! So many scams out there in Facebook!!
There is way too much of this going on and FB seems to do nothing about it!
That’s what’s so frustrating
Thanks for making a video on this, I hope it helped someone. I love that you care about your community.
Thanks for all the great info. I definitely have seen that background before also.
Great job -Thanks for helping the community
Great video for awareness!
Great video. Thanks for exposing the ways people try to mess up up the hobby.
One day I’ll be selling my collection online and it kinda scares me, but really glad you make these informative videos bry ! Thank you
I wish there was more that could happen to scams it gets so frustrating.
I’m glad I got these books to you Bry . Not only do you give fair prices . You get these books out to the community. I will make sure I get you more great books. Plus I will recommend you highly .
Thanks for the video Bry and your dedication to protecting the community. Keep grinding bro!✌️
Thanks for keeping us updated with scammer video.
I got scammed in an mmo back in 2003 and never again. Glad I learned my lesson from a video game rather than with real money
The camera change startled me 😂. Brys multicam now
Completely ridiculous. I see scammers all the time on convention posts saying vendor spots are open even on posts stating they are sold out! Lol
My guess is that TMNT book is elusive because Turtles fans aren't necessarily comic book collectors, they're Turtles collectors. The comic is just another item on their shelf or wall. Same thing with Star Wars and Star Trek. Lots of Star Wars collectors buy the comics.
Love that you called out this scammer
Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy and learn from your videos.
In thw comic book fb groups there are always posts about people who fell for a scam. "I know it wasnt ppgs, but......" 😢
Great video Bry! I’m surprised you have not talked about the bending of the inner well in CGC books yet. I guess if it has not happened to you then you really don’t have a whole lot to say because I have not received books in a while from them either.
Thanks for the heads up.
Great video Bry! Hopefully no one falls for the scam.
Thanks for the heads up
Awesome! Can’t wait. Again thanks so much for everything.
Glad you were able to find another shogun for the buyer
I just saw this on my Facebook feed in market place the other day. So it's still up
Yeah my comics shop is sick for large orders. Best value, you can easily piece together a high-value order from the selection. It takes research but there are always good prices on there.
These scammers are hilarious! Great video!
Dirty scammers…
EBay is full of scam sellers now. I wanted to buy an OEM water pump for my honda but the listings lookes sketchy
Scamms Like this u will find with all high Price items. Its crazy…
Wow, well I fell for one of the scammers. Some lady in Russia that was on eBay was selling amazing fantasy 15 8.0 restored for $8000. Of course that would be in the $20,000 plus range… obviously I never received the book but I got my money back through PayPal.. and on the other hand, there are still many many people that have no clue that Comic Books are worth money. Some people do not check on eBay or any social media so they might not have any knowledge of Comic Books… but like you said, if it’s too good to be true, of course you are going to get scammed
What website did you use to get that price?
Thanks for the info.
Good info. Thanks
Karma is a beautiful thing when it comes to scammers! I love that War Machine book directly behind you.
excellent info thank you
There will always be unsavory characters lurking in the weeds, looking to fleece the unwary. I’ve been ripped off a few times, happily not for monstrous $$$. Stay safe out there folks.
These scammers are ridiculous
You should've asked her if she had any more. lol
Thank you again good sir❤
Hahaha that’s classic! 😂😂 😭 💀 “get a job scammer!”
My man, you are a credit to the comic book community. You're doing the Lord's work. Keep it up. Your video shows why I don't buy on Facebook. Only WhatNot and ebay. Ebay has its issues but it's the safest place around. Btw, love my Wilbur collection purchases.
Yeah, that thing is crazy expensive
lol thats definetly a well known stolen picture scammers suck!
I've been lucky with all of my transactions thus far. I did have a book I sent get hung up in the mail for weeks and one I bought, too but they both worked out. They both were through eBay.
Good to get this out there Bry. I Have found good sellers such as yourself but need a-reminder that dirt bags are out there.
Couldn't they accept your paypal payment and send you a box that's empty or a different book? This would show on the tracking the book was delivered and they get the money and you don't receive the book.
I actually have a Hulk 180 and 181….I’m original owner but I don’t think the grading would as high as the scammers 9.4
Some awesome books!
Great info thank you
I think of all the content you never see…….it reminds me of a girl that loved butterflies so much…I thought that was so sweet….until see proudly showed me a case of them pinned to a board, framed….it reminds me of looking at the front of a comic, what if you never read it…what are you getting?

The fact that people are willing to sell their soul for such a minimal amount of money is beyond cringe. I hope enlightened minds will be able to sift thru these demons.. but either way.. they will be judged!
I feel like I need to jump from my 3rd print to 2nd print before I go all the way to first with tmnt 1. Wow, what a book!
Scammers be scammin
This is why it’s important to buy from a certified dealer. Not only do they have your best interest at heart, their livelihood is at stake as well. Be careful out there, folks!
Even then, be careful. I've been scammed by a dealer with a brick and mortar store that I had done business with before.
I remember those Ninja Turtle comics going for a just a few hundred $$ in the late 1980s.
Those texts sound like Epic Collectibles. Very much his cadence.
Bry you got to collect books. I’m old and I used to collect. I’m all in. Thank you my man
Great detective work
And here I thought Isobel was just going thru some hard times 😞
So stupid of these to still happen
People always trying to scam….need to constantly be wary
Thanks for exposing aholes like this Bry 👍
You know what's true? My buddy once found this book at a flea market for a buck about 20 years ago. I remember how happy he was and he knew its worth! I don't know comics but that one I know lol! 😂 Beware of scammers!
Man! I hate scammers.
Great video thank you
How do you know if you win. And I am from Windsor Ontario Canada
I’ll comment on the winning comment directly and email for the newsletter
“My loss is your gain!”
(Run away) 😅
Love that TMNT 1!!!! Wanna swap it for a X-Force 1?😂😂😂
lol..."get a job scammer"...sick burn. I hope you recovered from that zinger.
And I need the War Machine slab. In time
Seeing this just reminds me of when I got scammed out of crow #1 lesson learned
