- In this video I talk about how my LCS got in a recent collection and all the Comic Collecting VULTURES came out of the woodworks. Sometimes being aggressive is what it takes to be "successful" in comic book collecting. Are you guys the types to be the first to the LCS when they get a new collection in? Let me know your strategies.

Great seeing you there, I’m the guy that grabbed the DD #1, Thanks to Eliot, Rez and Kevin!
Maybe thanks to the collector?
Thank you Mickey for telling us how much you paid. I don't know why folks seem to be so reluctant to reveal what they paid.
“A really nice price…. 500 bucks.” I love this hobby💀
Did the collector?
You’re such an underrated content creator, in my opinion. Great content, like always and great pick ups!!
i think a lot depends on what you mean by aggressive? If someone is ahead of me, alls fair. It gets out of bounds when someone imposes on someone else space. One time I was looking thru books and was shoulder to shoulder with collectors to my left and right. No problem, but then , I see a hand come thru from under my right armpit slowly working its way toward the stack I had laid out directly in front of me, close to my chest to purchase. All I could think of was the hand from the Adams Family (Thing) slowly working thru to grab one or a few of my books. Im thinking to myself, WHAT NERVE. I grabbed the hand and slapped SUPER hard and turned to the dickweed and said, Ethics Violation! He got the point. Some of these guys have no ethics at all which can lead to fisticuffs.
Another time Im looking thru a long box. No one looking to the boxes to my left or right. Guy comes along and reaches over and starts looking thru the back of the box Im looking in, so I slammed the books back so only I had space to pull books with no space for him to pull any out cause they were so tight together. Again, would have been no problem except for the intrusion of my immediate space. Had he been a box over, no problem. If only people would live by the golden rules of life like treat others the way you wish to be treated things would be better.
Have ANY of you had Nasty Experiences where you were either turned off or had you blood pressure rise to the point where you wanted to wallop the other person for their insult?
Eliott's a great guy and I used to love Spero's but the new dudes he hired to run the store have overpriced everything. I can only imagine the high prices they're throwing on the keys from that collection.
lol I just went over the weekend and prices are def high. I'm glad swaggle got the deals he got but it's not the reality over there
Curse you and your awesome LCS! Vulture Life, y'all.
"Look at the books!" I'm sorry Swag, were you just talking about comics? I lost my train of thought.
Great find's, great show!
I applaud you for your content.
Flipper show's appear to be disappearing or very sporadic with content.
Page flipper podcasts are done.
And the Top 10 list where they read word for word from the script are flat out boring.
My LCS owner let's his regulars know when certain books come in that they are looking for. Example I collect Dr Strange silver and bronze age. He always let's me know when he gets them so I can take a look.
Love your content but I'll say it's easy to be a vulture when you don't have to get up and be to work in the morning like most vendors and resellers. Average collectors who may have saved a long time for one of those bigger books may not be able to afford to ditch work and therefore miss out on a grail. Because vendors and resellers are on those priority and first call lists. I get up at 230 for work, can't be there at 9 or 10 when they open. Even when my lcs does get a collection or run a sale, those vendors are lined up at 5am because they don't have jobs like most collectors. Not trying to be negative towards what you're saying just saying it's not easy to just be a vulture for most of us.
My LCS here in Barrie just got the motherload. Complete silver age runs of Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Star Wars, X-Men and ASM. Truly an insane sight to behold.
I had such a good experience at speros heroes comic shop a few months back really cool to see big collections come in
Glad to see my hands made a cameo in this one at 1:06 lol
A lot of the war books are under appreciated. Not just the marvel but the DC stuff. I have 2 long boxes of just war books in my pc. Some decent keys hidden among them as well.
Love those Dinosaur Series War Covers
Man, I miss Elliot. I used to go to Speros back when they were in a secluded industrial complex. I'm glad the store is doing well and that Elliot looks happy.
Always gotta be on your A game to get the best goodies from new collections. I have no shame in being my LCSs vulture.
Swagg , that girl in the background , what's her name and phone number ?
She was definitely a cutie.
Flippers trying to get there hands on books is like sharks eating chum. Feeding frenzy. As Michael Douglas said in Wall Street “Greed is good”.
This reminds of when I was at a local antiques store in 1995 where I was a regular customer. They had just received a large collection of vintage Star Wars toys that included loose action figures and vehicles. I was the first vulture and made off with a very nice haul.
Laughing my ass off at that pic of you and your commentary 😂…well done
That Batman and Spider-Man book was huge for us growing up in the 90s. I remember it was impossible to get and one guy in my grade school snagged a copy and we would all huddle around his copy at recess in awe of it. That book is easier to get today than it was when it came out!
You should have seen the old warehouse! I have so many incredible buys from them over the decades.
Vulture? I thought you were a darkhawk?
Nothing wrong with being a vulture it’s the flippers that people hate.
I think a lot of vultures are also flippers. For example Bill from Bucky’s books was there and he’s a major dealer. Plus Swag flips on claim sales. Both are good guys though.
Vulture? More like survival of the fittest. A lot of nice books. I'm drooling over Spidey.
Loved how happy that woman was.
i agree sgt fury1 is underappreciated and maybe undervalued as well,............i alaso think its one of the earliest marvel 1s.........
Just shows there are lots of collections coming into the shops. Just seeing all those beautys makes me smile.
The interesting thing to me about this collection/vid was seeing all of these books in raw form. Kind of cool.
Was there something else in that picture other than those books?
Mickey forgive me I'm a bit of a claim sale novice. Watch 99% of the video but didn't know if you still have the avengers 4 or the incredible Hulk 141 for sale?.... Love your videos!! Dave
Those were some very sweet books. I never have such luck. The only way to get that type of a book for me is either on eBay or at a con. Either way that will cost me so much that I could never afford to do something like this. An ASM #6For $500.WhatAGreatDeal
Speroes is the best. Got Walking Dead 1 there for a fantastic price. They have been working on getting this collection. A lot of great stuff.
Moral of the story. Dont ever sell your 'collection'.
Your 'equity' just gets passed on to the dealer to the customer.
I went to Spero's last week to check out what was left of the collection and based on the prices I saw swagglehaus definitely got the famous friend discount because there weren't any deals like these to be had.
What a collection!!! Big ups on you putting Adrian Toombs to shame LOL
i own a few of those Spider-Man/Batman crossover comic and its one of my all-time favorite books i own for the very reasons you mentioned: Batman (the best of DC) & Spider-Man (best of Marvel)
If you were a true vulture you would have bought 20 books and left the scraps for the others.
I'm really interested in buying that comic from you.
it also if you at the right place at the right time when the book is not known it for sale
Great vid and books! Always fun haunting and lurking in cozy comic shops with the gang when a bunch of old gems show up !!
"Hey, pay attention. LOOK at the books!" 🤣 My favorite part of the entire video. Thanks for sharing, Swaggle!
Always get there squirrely early. Early bird gets the worm.
That’s a thicc picture tho lol
I like the girl posing beind you at 11:55! lol!!!
This gives me hope that one day a woman might visit my LCS too.
"I know what you're looking at!" 😂😂
Yo was that Rogue in the background?
Guilty as charged😂 @ "I know what you're looking at" 😅
One of the best feelings is being the first guy to hit a box that just got put out on the floor 😎
Great video! Great books! Great photo bomb!🍻🍻😁
Is this why you had the claim sale? To pay for these spoils? 😂
Congrats 👊 nice pickups 📚
Swag I saw Mike from lunch money comics went to a warehouse comic sale.they had 50 copies of dark hawk numbers #1. Spider man annuals #14 Monica appearance 10 copies 20 copies spawn #9.
He also got over 20 copies of Spider-Man 2099 #1. He says he’s not a flipper but I don’t buy that at all. No way he’s keeping all those copies.
@@michaelsharkey4255 Yeah I just watched that video. Zero chance he's not flipping those books for a huge profit. And I loved how he made it seem like he was making the video for the community too. Ridiculous.
@@CrystalMax7777 I know. It’s totally fine to sell and he can do whatever he wants. Just don’t insult the audience by telling a different story.
Almost missed the books! Awesome background content
There's a shelf at my lcs of books that are priced but not allowed for us to buy until they set them out and we sneak and pick through em and they yell at us all the time @hoodwood_comics
Hell with those comics. Let's talk about the hottie who loves comics 😂
Absolutely spot on! That’s one lucky guy.
Oh no, not the skittles flag.
You “vultured” more than me! 😂😂
I don't understand why anyone would sell their collection to a LCS.
Me too - if you need to sell there are lots of options that would maximize how much you could get. Comic shops give pennies on the dollar.
12:00 LOL!
If its the female Surfer that's going to be in the FF movie, that's another Marvel movie I won't watch. Great books by the way, but you really threw me with that statement.
I have been going to my same lcs since 2010 and the one before that was since 86 lol I hav owner on text sending him weekly if something special I want and my pull list every week
Sgt Fury was BY FAR my favorite comic book in the 60's. Read and traded them. Had them all in my hand from #1 up until I quit reading comic books in my teens
I heard Swag's voice crack a little when he held up that Silver Surfer. Congrats.
I literally had thrown this video onto my big screen so I could see the smoke show better, when he called me out for not paying attention.
Like strange tales with Captain America and iron man submariner books.
100%. The tips you shared at the end are the only reasons I have my Tales Of Suspense 52 and my Tales To Astonish 13.
You make top shelf content Swag, thaks!
And early bird gets the comic usually.
Great pickups, Swagg! Way to swoop in there! 😂
I don't live to far from there. Need to stop by
Just saw this post on IG. Nice pickups!
Life's about the reds and yellows too
Spiro??? Is your LCS owner Greek?
Long boxes are where it's at now
I'd love to know what the store paid. I'm guessing it was a steal. If I had to guess I'd say 5k which is the true vulture!
They most likely paid very little. Comic shops are notorious for low balling. That’s how they make such good profits on collections.
Broooooo holllllyyyy schnikes
Love Speros heroes!
Great haul! 👏
First!?!
Opportunistic vultures 😂😂😂
