I went there in 1996. They had small figures as well. I still have three, small, Ma. K figures from there that I've never seen anywhere else. The place was just filled with cool shit. Still have some graff mags as well.
I'm born and raised on the west coast and I heard of Scrap Yard because it was in Marc Ecko's Getting Up video game that I played as a kid back in 2005 😂 I visited the store 11 years after that when I did my first trip to New York and bought markers. It was dope to visit a store with such a deep history in the scene, especially since a vast majority of graff stores where I live didn't last anywhere near as long.
I went to that shop in the mid 90s on a visit to NY from the midwest. I'm pretty sure it was called Bomb The System at that time. I picked up 2 VideoGraff VHS tapes that were highly influencial to me. I'm still active to this day well into my 50s and living in another country. Thanks for all your vids and documenting= Stay up!
Ouick note 📝 back again. I remember vacationing one yr and took my sons there..i have it on vhs 📼 yeah I'm an old man and proud( no shame) my eldest son is now 34!! True 💎 gem indeed peace.
The stores inventory was dwindling down to nothing by the end of summer, the writing was literally on the wall for this place to close and it sucks to see it go.
R.I.P. what a bummer. Thank you for sharing some stories and history. Always hyped when I see an upload from you. You have been putting out very cool videos lately, keep killing it and Merry Christmas from California.
thanks for sharing it dude, always is a pleasure see the fresh styles and listen your graffiti stories from the places i never be, keep it going gretings from Tbilisi
I NSTILL HAVE CANS I BOUGHT FROM THEM.THEVE BEEN AROUND FOREVER AND A STORE CALLED SOHO ZHAT WAS ACROSS FROM HERE. MY BOYZ WEB AND STAFF ROCKED A WALL AT THIS STORE I JUST MENTIONED.TRUE WRITER'S LANDMARK.
Dam as a 15yr old my shit was tsy all the way from bk i'd ride the train to get fat caps the latest video graffs ect and always stopped at "blimpies" for a sub which was around the corner at the time.. Met hell a writers that i would see go all city soon after that store was iconic.
Mannnn i remember back in "84" when i 1st visited this place, you are right ✅️ that place was a museum!!(tear). Met this guy named camp 🏕, and this guy felon( might have worked there, but let me tell you, i stood outside for awhile and katz would be stopping in my sketch book 📖 got roasted!!! Could wait to get back cleveland 216 to show other up coming writers here new york styles of tagging( hence tagman), throw ups, piecing!! Just incredible!! And i visited for the stickers, lil toys, and to extend my book library. Still have some stuff. I would say to the last owner and past that every writer( I'm gonna say it correctly) , every artist 🎨 that steped through those doors 🚪 were instant stars!!! Could he have found a smaller spot???😢 got my first tribal tee, still have it( sleeves cut off that's alright). Bought alot of wst apparel!! Shout out!! No other place like it. Took a trip to da bakery( when it was open) nice but not like the scrapyard. You guys were truly 👏 💐!!!! Have to find another spot. Not just for the paint, but for all the little intricate stuff!! Neva made it to yellow rat 🐀 bastard, heard it was nice. Sir you are mad crazy appreciated 👏 💐 if know one's told you. I am!!! Hold on, & support your local mom&pop stores!!! Will miss it for sure😢😢 please find another store front.😊 salute 🫡 and 👏 💐 hats off, kudos to ya!! Peace brooklyn to cleveland!! The tagman scf/mk Brownsville never ran never will!! Out.
Weird fact. There was an awesome man working at BTS behind Mark at least for a few years named Osama who explained to me some days soon after he was standing in front and the airplane flew over his head heading south on 9 one one. Cash is king with the secret pocket was dope work. Tribal tees i feel like i had them all back then. Original Echo in the 90s . I had a few of those tees too. I don’t remember buying any of them here for some strange reason. I def remember the Cost and Revs across the street. I feel like years later there was a peak under it, i may be wrong. RIP Saga.
Really awsome videos lately thx. I've been looking at stuff in London they are no joke these days. I also seen really cool paintings by( Busta) here in philadelphia look at 5th and columbia (Cecil b.) If your here. Busta has a nice one down there.
Damm rip scrapyard been going since 92-93 ran into some writers there we met legendary mitch77 there he had a magazine out and we was toys new in the game and he showed love another time was wit my boys and went ahead to slap that phone booth rite in front of the door yo...so I turned to see if any one saw me in scrapyard and cope and mark are looking at me from inside I said dam so my boys walk up we go in as cope goes out I said I wish I had my blackbook...I heard few people got caught there and beat up I would love to hear them story's RIPPEARLSPAINTSRIPSCRAPYARDRIP5PTZ
Thanks for sharing. I wish I knew they were closing, i would have went there one more time.🥲. I used to cut school starting in 8th grade (this is 1997-98) and would go to Bomb the system to buy caps and graff magazines and ask random writers to hit my black book, then go look at all the bombing around Canal and Soho area. AOnes and Setup were big at the time. Magical days that we will never get back. What camera are you using?? If you dont mind me asking, really good quality footage.

When I first heard of Scrap Yard, it was called Bomb The System. Pearl Paint was also another spot to go to back then.
HENRY CHALFANT'S STUDIO WAS AND WOOSTER ST ,ONE BLOCK OVER FROM SCRAP YARD. GREAT GRAFF MEMORIES
Saying goodbye to the scrap yard is like saying goodbye to the five points building ❤

So I used to cop my markers and graff style books from the scrap yard. I can't believe is closed.
Wow! Such a legendary and iconic store that brought so many iconic artists to one place. So surreal they closed.
I still have Dirty Handz 2, I collect old graffiti vhs tapes 😊
My man👍
nice job , live close by and enjoy freeman alley all the time

Soooooo many great productions in that parking lot over the years!!
🔥
Personal question how old are you?
Loving all this history your very knowledgeable graff head
Is there any other graff stores in New York
There are a few, but nothing like Scrap Yard.
@ Dam wanted to go visit New York earlier this year and Scrap Yard was on the list, but something came up so I couldn’t go. That blows
Happy holidays bro. Is it possible to get a pin somehow? I sent you some stuff a while back. Ok take care thanks for the videos.
@@Outtatime247 what did you send? I don’t have anymore of those pins. But remind me again if I do make merch again… right now I don’t have anything..
@@TheGraffitiWanderer I would love to give you my money for a graffiti wanderer hoodie!! Hahaha
Sent you a small box with photos, zines, can…i started collecting pins and remember you had some. Ok take care
