The nerd expert is always great. Really well adjusted and always surprising the heck out of people who aren’t aware how passionate people are about these sorts of hobbies.
I missed those lovely comics of the silver & golden of comics..i envy the collection. Wished i had mine still..my late great Dad used to buy me comics on a weekly basis...missed him as he will always be my Stan the 'Dad' Lee.
@Mechanical Medic I have a subscription to go collect. I use that to price the big key issues. That is where the bulk of your value is going to come from. Have an idea of condition of the books, how many there are and titles. Usually the expensive books are going to drive the price of the collection. Some of the bulk or inexpensive books will be negotiated after you work the price of the big books. Let me know if you need help identifying any of the keys and if you want advice on prices. I can help give you an idea if you are working with a $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $100,000 collection.
@Mechanical Medic Comment on one of my videos your email and I'll contact you if you want more advice. I would be happy to help and can be impartial for you.
I was an official " marvel maniac" when I was a teenager back in the 1960's... I loved marvel and read stan soapbox each month. Oh the varied emotions when new issues , new characters and crossovers happened.even the smell of the new book.
I didn’t really think of it as an investment , now this person right here , I have nothing but the upmost respect for him, he new that these storulys were something special , Marvelous!
I'm sure they took them out for show purposes. He's got them pinned to the board with magnets. That being said, the guy really should have them all graded and put into cases.
They are bagged. If you look at the stacks on the table, they are all bagged with boards. They must have taken the selections to show out of bags to avoid the light reflecting from the bags. Every book that doesn't have the cover visible is bagged.
@@TheRmm1976 Exactly. If I owned those comics I would get every one of them profesionally graded by CGC. It would cost a bit, but would probably increase their value by at least 25% when he goes to sell. Most of them, at a glance, are probably around 7.0 condition. Amazing, given their age and the fact that he bought them as a kid and probably read them several times.
@@douglaswilliams6834 wouldn't make sense to grade every single one because its pricey and not every book on the table is worth it most of the wall books hanging on the wall are though.
As a young Man on Toy Hunter He had the same passion for Toys….poor guy is taking some flak here that he doesn’t deserve on this post so I wanted to give him some kudos and say that there are plenty of us Nerds watching that appreciate that passion. I have most of these books and the prices may be a tiny bit overstated for the time but they have proven to be a good investment over time no matter what. Many of us collectors really aren’t solely focused on flipping…it’s more about enjoying the Hobby and reliving our childhood. I remember trading comics in the early 70s and wishing there was a way to protect my “stack” bc I walked around with my favs when heading to a trade session. We’ve come a long way and who’d have ever guessed at the value several decades later. It’s would’ve been mind blowing to our kid minds.
This book you have right here is just on absolute fire right now, I mean truly amazing, one of a kind. In an auction setting you should easily get 4 to 800 dollars.
Well it would basically be brand new. 9.8 would likely only go to anything that was purchased, immediately placed in a sleeve or 2, and kept safe for the same amount of time as these. 10.0 grades essentially don't exist
To me these all look around upper mid level but it's hard to tell from just this video. I have most of these in the 5.0 range except those 2 black panther appearances. Those both I have I have around 3.0. And not great looking 3s at that. I think a nice mid grade can present extremely well, especially in mylar or in a cgc case.
What the appraiser failed to mention is that if the comics were sent to a professional comic book dry cleaner/presser and then submitted to a grading service like CGC that his collection could be worth a LOT more what the appraiser quoted.
My dad's golden age collection got thrown out by my grandparents when he went in the navy. He said he had a lot of amazing Superman, Captain America, batman etc...
I had boxes of baseball cards, sorts illustrated and comic books from the 60's and early 70's that got given away when I left for service. I came back about 9 months later to nothing. It still bothers me to this day. I had a collection of Hot Wheels cars and quite a few HO train sets also that went missing. Was saving them for my son...someday.
You also had jobs that paid you enough to survive. I wish I could live in your times when you didn't have to worry about paying rent or putting food on the table.
@@jumpmaninspired In 1983 I starved because I couldn't make enough to survive. Finally got there, but when I started out in Radio it was difficult. I worred a lot.
"When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things." It put those things in a box and when Antiques Road Show came to town, I turned back into a child............with MONEY!!! Good for him!!
*Rick from Pawn Stars* = "I'll give you $30.00 plus a toothpick and drying machine lint for the whole collection....I'm the one that has to take it to auction and do all the work here!!"
Which is why you don't take comic books to a pawn shop. If they are truly valuable, send them to Heritage Auctions. It may take a while, but you get a legit price.
I think a lot of people are under the impression that old comics are goldmines, but in reality like 1/1000 are good hits. The rest are $1 junk. My dad has like 10 boxes from the 60s-80s and I think the best comics he had none of them went over $1000.
He over valued some of them, that Avengers 11 in that condition is not worth 300-400, more like 150-200, it's only a FN at best. I don't like the way they're holding them up with those magnets either, they could do slight damage to them.
Looking at heritage prices, a 9.8 of FF52 sold for $83,650 in February of 2016. But then in November of the same year, another one sold for $65,725. So, who knows, maybe you could get six figures for one now.
actually there is only one company that does pricing for comics and that is Overstreet comic price guide. i am surprised Beckett never got into pricing for comics.
Not sure anyone commenting here remembers a show on Travel Channel called "The Toy Hunter" (starring toy collectibles dealer Jordan Hembrough), but the appraiser here - Travis Landry - appeared on the show: first as a seller of items to Jordan and then as a sort of junior dealer. This was about seven or so years ago and Travis looked nothing then like he does now.
The value on many of these silver age comics go up and down like the stock market, Travis (the appraiser) was probably pretty accurate for that year. The Fantastic Four 48 was topping out at 4 or 5 thousand for mid grade during the pandemic but they are coming back down now. I actually just bought one from Travis company today for 2 k that's why I was googling. He knows his stuff. The appraisers can't make deals w people on the program anyway, there are rules about that. Years later I think they can, but I know they have strict rules at Roadshow about it.
I had at least this many comics from this period. Maybe twice as many. And when i was 13 or 14 we packed up a Uhaul truck and moved. And some how my big box of comics didn't end up on the truck. They got left behind for the man who bought the house. And now they would've been worth as much as the man bought our house for.
Those comics are only worth what they are because they are in absolutely phenomenal condition. The vast, VAST majority of books from that era are worth a faction of that because kids read them, left them lying around, traded them, etc. For instance, current GPA (a price guide that records sold prices from a number of different sites) on a Fantastic Four #48 in 9.2 is $6000-$7000. However, GPA on a "very good" (4.0) copy, which is around what most "found" copies would be (assuming no coupons were cut out), is around $800. That's just one example. Anyway, the fact that he basically bought them and stuck them aside is both incredibly rare (and awesome) and THE reason the collection got featured on Antiques Roadshow.
Wow that sucks! I'm sorry man, that must really hurt. I have a lot more than this collection but I've acquired it over several years of collecting as an adult. My og collection was mostly 80s and 90s.
I always get excited at the beginning of these types of items then go out really disappointed with the valuations. If I were that guy I'd just keep them if he didn't really need the money.
It's tough because it is unlikely my kids will want any of this old, presently collectible stuff I have laying around and the market is hot for it now. I can keep a few things, sell it off, and then at least have some satisfaction I'm keeping some more money in the family instead of a box of my own nostalgia.
I've told this story a few times. And everyone is skeptical, but I was at a thrift store here in Tampa about 3 years ago. On the shelf in mint condition, in sleeves, TWO ungraded first appearance of Thor!! $20 EACH! but I only had $20 and no cellphone, I forgot it at home. About an hour later, I used a friend's phone to research them, then my heart dropped, and I sped all the way back to the life's treasures thrift store, but it was too late. They were gone. I'll probably never fully recover from that. $100,000 would have changed my life!
They are in amazing condition but to not have them in bags with backer boards is sad. I would day they are in a 7.0 to 8.0 condition. They are just rubbing over each other and back then the ink from the color pages and the interior rubbed off on each other.
I have most of those and quite a few bigger keys but I didn't have any really big keys from my youth. I think the biggest keys from my og collection are 2 complete sets of NM secret wars, Wolverine mini series, Venom and Carnage first app and new teen titans 2. Man I wish I would have gone after silver age when I was younger. As now I don't know if I'll ever get a FF1,AF 15, hulk 1 etc. I do wish this guy would get some bags and boards on these books. It makes me anxious just seeing these beauties in a big open environment like this unprotected. Then again he's kept them in good shape all these years.
OMG I can't ever see how this to my dad. He had the original run of Spider-Man comics from #15 Amazing Fantasy all the way to an The Amazing Spider-man issue from late 1971. Then he went to college and left the collection in his parent's basement in SF. When they moved to a smaller house the box "got lost".
My brother had two Papa Bear chairs without footstools. Before we arrived at the auction I was hoping to get between $500 and a thousand. They sold for over $11,000
I do too, but I was being cheap and got a cgc 3.0 and wish I would have gone for at least a 5.0 but they've gone up too much since I got it and I really don't want to spend the money.
I once owned a 1st ed. #1 Giant Size X-Men near mint comic for which I paid .50cents. I sold it before there was even talk of the first X-Men movie for $100. I really don't know if I did either good or bad.
It's not that he has grown a clearly offensive beard that is the problem, it's that his whole body is covered the same and he's just shaved the correct parts off to appear civilised and human.
I have the biggest unknown collection of Fine to nr mint silver age books around. Anyone want to buy them? All the number ones. 1956 thru 1965....It's unreal... 2000 books..
The pricing isn't crazy if you have the knowledge. What's crazy is that none of these are graded(can boost the value of each by at least 150%) and they don't even seem to be bagged and boarded!! One person trips and spills something on them... They'll still be worth a lot, but not close to what they are in the vid.
I had comics people wouldn't give me 10$ for in the mid 90's. And I kept them. GotG turned a bunch of 10$ things into 1000$ issues. Even I did sell all my xmen/Spiderman before the boom. Imagine having to wait 40+ years for Spiderwoman to get over 5$
The guy that brought the comics there, don’t know anything about those comics. He definitely found them or something. I have a ton of comics I haven’t read them in years and I still remember all of them.
I have over 1,000 comics, mostly Amazing Spider-Man and Uncanny X-Men. Mine aren't all in this great of condition, though. While it is nice to have such a collection, it is a real pain in the butt to make any money off of it. Nobody is going to write a check for $8,000 to get boxes of comics. That means you have to grade, photograph, list, sell, package, and ship individual books, which would take hundreds of hours to do. Suddenly it isn't so profitable.
I beg to differ. I am a guy who buys collections for $8,000 and more. Selling in bulk you will never get full value but that is where you decide if it is worth it to you to go through all the hassle of shipping it out to all the different people if a bunch of people buy from you. Plus if you use Ebay they take auction fees.
@@stevengarza8494 Great, get the cash ready and I will personally drive the entire lot to your house. I have multiple high-grade copies of Amazing Spider-Man #121 and #122, multiple copies of nearly every issue of Uncanny X-Men from about issue 70 on (excluding GS #1 and #94), high-grade CGC copies of Spawn #1, plus some original Flash comics that might justify the price by themselves.
1:55 ...no sir, it is not "literally hotter than fire." It may be figuratively hotter than fire, but I think this paper comic would catch on fire if it were "literally" hotter than fire, and in that case it would become just as hot as fire for a brief moment, and then after a minute or so, it would become slightly less hot than fire. Then after a few more minutes, it would probably become "literally" a lot less hot than fire, and all this "literal" temperature change would likely affect is "figurative" hotter than fire value.

Answer is, it’s worth what someone is willing to pay.
He over valued some of them, that Avengers 11 in that condition is not worth 300-400, more like 150-200, it's only a FN at best. I don't like the way they're holding them up with those magnets either, they could do slight damage to them.

Its the work of the Five Fingered Fandango!
Btw, fyi to the young appraiser here , it makes for better TV drama if you give the values from lowest to highest. Your welcome.:)
That’s the guy from the toy hunter tv show he was Jordans apprentice 😂
My brother had two Papa Bear chairs without footstools. Before we arrived at the auction I was hoping to get between $500 and a thousand. They sold for over $11,000
Get em graded they worth even more
I own a copy of Fantastic Four #52 (first appearance of Black Panther). It’s the holy grail of my collection.
I do too, but I was being cheap and got a cgc 3.0 and wish I would have gone for at least a 5.0 but they've gone up too much since I got it and I really don't want to spend the money.
Cool collection
The beard on the assessor is just wrong.
No.
@@te9591 You've got the same beard.
Douche.
@@freepeacesweet.7547 no, I don't. You're the douche bag here.
It looks so fake. So bad
he should grow it out and have a biker channel
Interesting. Im checking for comics now lol.
Cool video, amazing comics!
#AcCollection
*EXCELSIOR!!!* 😃
I once owned a 1st ed. #1 Giant Size X-Men near mint comic for which I paid .50cents. I sold it before there was even talk of the first X-Men movie for $100. I really don't know if I did either good or bad.
You did bad.
I sold mine to. In '95
Dont feel bad about getting paid for one of the few silver age comics worth $ back then.
Why aren’t these bagged and boardeddd😿😿
It's not that he has grown a clearly offensive beard that is the problem, it's that his whole body is covered the same and he's just shaved the correct parts off to appear civilised and human.
I have the biggest unknown collection of Fine to nr mint silver age books around. Anyone want to buy them? All the number ones. 1956 thru 1965....It's unreal... 2000 books..
There’s a Thor 112 sitting there too. Hot Thor vs Hulk book worth a pretty penny in good condition.
That fantastic four 48 is waaaaaay more valuable than any one he mentioned. In that condition it’s probably at least $2000
"the first appearance of Medusa! an inhuman!"
*audible cricket noises
Did these books end up hitting the market or stayed with the original owner?
The pricing isn't crazy if you have the knowledge. What's crazy is that none of these are graded(can boost the value of each by at least 150%) and they don't even seem to be bagged and boarded!! One person trips and spills something on them... They'll still be worth a lot, but not close to what they are in the vid.
Comics grade from 8.0 to 9.0. Beard grade: 9.9
Now because of the collecting boom if he got those comics graded he would double the appraisal easily.
He should get some if not all restored/fixed up to get a higher grade and thus better value.
I had most of those silver age comics in fine to very fine, I was stupid to sell them off for a lot less =( wish I could turn back time.
Wish you could find a way?
I had comics people wouldn't give me 10$ for in the mid 90's.
And I kept them.
GotG turned a bunch of 10$ things into 1000$ issues. Even I did sell all my xmen/Spiderman before the boom.
Imagine having to wait 40+ years for Spiderwoman to get over 5$
Omg!!!! No comics bagged or boarded....AHHHHHH!
All he has to do is get the black panther book Cgc rated and boom. Price raised
Wow: Thats a very nice collection
Also Wow: Travis' haircut and beard are grade A
The appraisers beard looks like it’s painted on its so thick.
He put PINS into these rare books! Crazy
they are magnets
Anything better than an 8 is just more frosting on the cake.
The guy that brought the comics there, don’t know anything about those comics. He definitely found them or something. I have a ton of comics I haven’t read them in years and I still remember all of them.
Are you in your late 60s or early 70s? Has 50 plus years passed and is your memory failing you do to older age?
I have over 1,000 comics, mostly Amazing Spider-Man and Uncanny X-Men. Mine aren't all in this great of condition, though. While it is nice to have such a collection, it is a real pain in the butt to make any money off of it. Nobody is going to write a check for $8,000 to get boxes of comics. That means you have to grade, photograph, list, sell, package, and ship individual books, which would take hundreds of hours to do. Suddenly it isn't so profitable.
I beg to differ. I am a guy who buys collections for $8,000 and more. Selling in bulk you will never get full value but that is where you decide if it is worth it to you to go through all the hassle of shipping it out to all the different people if a bunch of people buy from you. Plus if you use Ebay they take auction fees.
@@stevengarza8494 Great, get the cash ready and I will personally drive the entire lot to your house. I have multiple high-grade copies of Amazing Spider-Man #121 and #122, multiple copies of nearly every issue of Uncanny X-Men from about issue 70 on (excluding GS #1 and #94), high-grade CGC copies of Spawn #1, plus some original Flash comics that might justify the price by themselves.
I cry seeing these vintage, high-grade books not in protective mylars, with what appear to be little paper weights on top of them.
He acted like that first balck panter was action comics #1 then was like it's about $800 😅🤣
Yeah...!😂
I mean Black Panther is pretty cool
1:55 ...no sir, it is not "literally hotter than fire." It may be figuratively hotter than fire, but I think this paper comic would catch on fire if it were "literally" hotter than fire, and in that case it would become just as hot as fire for a brief moment, and then after a minute or so, it would become slightly less hot than fire. Then after a few more minutes, it would probably become "literally" a lot less hot than fire, and all this "literal" temperature change would likely affect is "figurative" hotter than fire value.
I guess we're in the Golden Age of the Sharpie-beard?
30,000 to 40,0000 that number has at least doubled or even tripled now.
Everyone please! That’s not a beard, he just got done eating a whole mess of cinnamon.
Surprised the appraiser didn't advise the owner to have them pressed and graded!?!
If he got those professionally pressed and grade, he'd easily have 100k worth of books.
