Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
In my Opinion the Short box was a good buy,also excellent trading cards,but also superb Comic Haul including Avengers(1st series)#148(1975),also remarkable Fantastic Four comics (1st series) including Fantastic Four(1st series)# 200(1978 or 1979),also Incredible Avengers comics,also thanks for sharing CGL 👌 them coming stay healthy stay safe and have a happy Valentine's Day.☺💝
I did the same today, paid $300 for a full box of mostly Captain America's. Mostly newer comics but quite a few 1:25s and 1:50's covers with a bunch of Kirby covers plus Batman's and stuff like that. Did it to help a friend out who needed the money.
I would have been at $350 right with you on the box, but I also would have bit at $400 because she was willing to work so much on her end. Good buy. Though I'm not a fan of you saying "these are overpriced" in front of her instead of just saying these are higher than we pay.
I felt $400.OO was a little high but not a bad purchase overall. You did got some nice early FF books with Jack Kirby artwork. Those books in VG condition are worth between $20.00-50.00. I didn’t noticed any major keys but still good books to have for selling. I am glad you didn’t pay 650.00 for that box. I think does JK books will help you to get your return and the rest will be gravy. Good luck Chris! I wished I did work weekends! I am missing out on some decent comics!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Good stuff! Almost at 1,000. It's really cool that you and your father get to enjoy the hunt and collecting together. All the best!
Also, I wouldn't be so bummed about most of them being Fantastic Four... now is a great time to buy them with movie spec starting to heat up in the future.
Why do I always get the heebeejeebeez going through items at flea markets feeling like I'm flipping through someone's stolen property! Maybe it's because I was a cop for 20 years and busted many flea market fences. Ahh....self reflection.
Don't listen to these fools down in the comments you and your dad got a good buy. Old fantastic four comics are awesome to get before the movie comes out. These prices will spike when the movie comes out
I had a similar situation at a church flea market in the Bronx. Long box of silver age mixed in grades of VG+ to Fine+ . The deal was he would do $5 each but had to fill a short box . I think I got a great deal
Not bad as a box. End of the kirby run plus the romita fill ins plus start of buscema. Overall a good run covering an age worth collecting. Of course condition comes into it but the romira ones appeared in good shape and the last full kirby :-)
She wasn't a tough negotiator as much as she was a great seller. We were ready to walk away three times, but she kept pulling us in lol. I wish we could've gotten lower, but I'm happy with it.
I think the short box was a good buy, you can get more than what the person below said on eBay, I see these books going for $20 to $40 easily on eBay all day. You’ll make around $400 profit off the short box, don’t listen to these to the others that say it was a bad buy.
I think it was a good, but not great buy. Less than $300 would've been great. Thank you for the support! I agree, a lot of people aren't as up to date on some of these prices. I'd like to buy some books from them lol
Well done! Very good deal, most are $10 to even $50 books. You scored big time. Didn't like the we usually get these at $5 a book tactic, cause you definitely didn't overpay. Promise you.
Definitely a lot of nice comics in that batch. Condition is key to pricing and the condition looked very nice on those. A nice run on Fantastic Four. That was Klaw's 1st appearance as Klaw. He appeared in an earlier issue (53?) as Ulysses Klaw, but meh with that.
This is awesome for my sons (9, 11) and I, as we look to share a love for comics, and to get them into reading. We are also in NJ. Which flea market would you recommend for us to try?
@@CGL_Collectibles Thanks so much. We're going to watch all of your videos. Maybe we could arrange a meet up one day at the fair. My boys and I are learning so much just from this video!
Hi, I'm getting back into collecting again after a 20yr pause(kids,lol). Can you give me your best practices or tips when looking for comics in the $1, $2 or whaterever $ bins at the Flea Markets? btw, the videos have been good for me as I get back into collecting again. thanks
Congrats! I am going to do a Q&A in the near future. Check out my previous Q&A with my Dad and I. My advice is always buy what you like and buy quality. You can't go wrong.
A long time, collector new subscriber to your Channel I'm a Fantastic Four collector and I think you got a hell of a deal those condition of those Comics were real nice and how appropriate that it was $400 Fantastic Four😁 let me know if you're looking to sell any of those interested in those Dr Doom covers and in particularly that #73 keep making great content
Hey guys, Sub from me. This was a great pick-up negociation, the way I look at buying in bulk like this is, price out the top 10 comics, see what those are valued at, then divide the remaining cost by the rest of the comics, you'll find you got a pretty cheap deal on the average cost of the other 57. Thats just my way of thinking when I bundle, I weigh up the more expensive issues, and do a calc in my head :) Really Enjoyed the bartering... Greetings from Scotland :)
That FF 56 is at least a 2.5 so that $30 bux price NOW for it and your oldest one in the box 1966, also its second appearence of Klaw BUT 1st appearence of him as the solid creature he is here I do believe.
Relax people. If that FF 49 alone is in decent shape you will have made your $ back. That book is and will continue to appreciate in value. Especially once we inevitably see the FF in the MCU and if Silver surfer shows up you’ll be good. I also saw quite a few other silver age and early Bronze Age FF in there. You’re good.
Short box was good but could have been better. You have some semi-keys with Air-walker and the Squadron Sinister in Avengers. Not bad, but remember that Fantastic Four is coming to the MCU and is bound to explode. Be patient.
😎🤔Okay BH here's my personal reason why I think you scored with those FF books , again my personal reason , most of those issues have ✌(2) of the best 😍Gingers in comics (I 💘😍Redheads!) , In this case Marvel Comics! My #1 Marvel costume cavorting Ginger being Medusa and her Inhuman cousin Crystal is high ,high at the top tier. ☝🤓 Okay , now that I unleashed my Valentine's Day cards on the table another reason you scored is because of the great 4 part story arc in issues #90-93 with The Thing captured by Skrulls and used as a gladiator in games of death , sound familiar? Planet Hulk series and the Thor:Ragnarok film reworking that Silver Age storyline. Now let's speculate 🤔 what differs this time about a FF film is that it's going to be an MCU production and already the anticipation is at a 🤒 fever pitch , due to the rumored casting of Krasinski as Reed Richards and the HIGH certainty of Dr Doom , The Silver Surfer and Galactus being brought faithfully to the screen! Ahh but there's also a group of villains that could appear on screen that might prove unexpectedly popular and that's The Frightful Four (of which my 😍Medusa was an original member) and you have some issues featuring them in your haul. One never knows what character (s) may be introduced and succeed beyond expectations , look at the FF character of Agatha Harkness who debut in WandaVision and gained popularity! You could be in the possession of near future key issues!
I really want to see these speculations come true. Disney NEEDS to incorporate FF into the MCU! That's an absolute must! Thank you for the insightful comment. Looking forward to reading your comment next time!
I'm sure after you made this video, you've researched your books by now and realized that YES IN FACT YOU ABSOLUTELY GOT THEM FOR A STEAL. Get them graded and you'll be even more surprised. Shit I WISH I could run into sales like this wow! Don't tell me you left the Frank Miller Wolverine with that lady!? Bc of a crease you said? Ha! That book going up n up n up. Hope you got it too. She wanted very little in comparison to what it's worth, crease or not. Super jelly of your comicbook experiences here. Cheers:)
@@CGL_Collectibles It takes time to learn the business,but It's worth it.I have been doing comics and records for decades.The problem with the comic market is that at least 1/2 the population (i.e. women/girls), don't buy them...yes.,I know that there are many exceptions,however,women DO by records ,and there are many.
All in all, I think the deal was good for the two of you and the seller. The earlier FF's with the Jack Kirby covers and interior art would've drawn me to look them over. FF #56 is the first appearance of Klaw in his "solid sound" body. The first appearance of Klaw is as Ulyssess Klaw, a human scientist with a prosthetic sonic device attached to his right wrist in FF #53. Klaw's back story is closely tied to Wakanda, T'Chaka, and T'Chala.
$125 TOPS for the box. As is, none of these lower grade books are worth slabbing, therefore (virtually without exception) they'll end up in the $1 or $2 or $3 boxes for resale. You'll be lucky if you recoup your money over the next 10 years. WORD
I think $300 would've been a good price. There's not a book in this box that belongs in the $3 bin, and especially no the dollar bin; idk where you got that from.
Hey.....more power to you. I hope you keep finding great deals like this and keep sharing the experience with all of us who enjoy the world of comics. Great score guys!!!
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁

Thank you!
Super helpful, totally worth watching
you did great . 10$- 50$ each all day long
Good job Chris's. With a little time those FF books will do really well.
Thanks Dolf!
That’s fantastic, thanks for sharing

He NEEDS TO BE A FEATURED VILLIAN !!!
FF underrated atm. Good resale value. Too bad I would just keep them in my dungeon hoard forever.
I just discovered your channel. Your father and son team are unique and fun to watch. Keep them coming
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Such great weather, sadly i worked all week till today when the weather got bad again n snowed.
Not bad as a box. End of the kirby run plus the romita fill ins plus start of buscema. Overall a good run covering an age worth collecting. Of course condition comes into it but the romira ones appeared in good shape and the last full kirby :-)
Great silver age score!! Lol, that seller was a tough negotiator 🤨, you really had to work her down. $10 - $20 ea for most makes this deal a winner 👏👏
She wasn't a tough negotiator as much as she was a great seller. We were ready to walk away three times, but she kept pulling us in lol. I wish we could've gotten lower, but I'm happy with it.
F4 + Avengers box. Great buy. 😳

hey if you like what you got, it's your own money, who cares what others think. Good buy
Thank you!
I would have paid more than $400 for that box of FF! Many, if not most, $30~$40 books there.
Very cool!
Quite a good run there.
Good solid books, $400 seems like a fair deal It will take some work but there is money to made on this lot.
Thank you!
This is awesome for my sons (9, 11) and I, as we look to share a love for comics, and to get them into reading. We are also in NJ. Which flea market would you recommend for us to try?

should of done a deal on those wolverine books as well she only wanted 90 for all 4 prob could of talked her down to 50 bucks

Ahh nice I see you’re a Cincinnati fan.
1st time watching the channel, over here in England we don't have the chance to find a flea market that would give the quality of the short box.
Welcome to the channel! I'm lucky to be in a high volume area (near New York City). Hope you enjoy future content.

Thank you!
Not a bad deal considering the condition looks pretty good. Too bad 94, 112 and 129 weren’t in there.
Yeah, no major keys
The 2nd stand looked they had a box with a lot of 'Age of Apocalypse' issues in it. If you like that sort of thing.....
The middle character on FF 77 is Psycho man. And 56 is the second appearance of Klaw I believe.
Also 120 is sweet First Airwalker and one of my favorite FF covers.

FF#94 is a good one! Probably pay for the whole box!
Where did u see F.F. # 94 1st Agatha Harkness I didn't c it???
great content. ty
Depending on the grades some of books are $30+ each.
That FF 120 can run from $80 -$225

How much was the Wolvie limited there? or was it not for sale because she knew it was a key
I believe she wanted $90 for it, but it did have some damage on the cover. Probably not a terrible price tho
@@CGL_Collectibles No, $90 bucks is an amazing price for a wolvie limited nowadays!!!
You guys got that lady good . When ever your selling a couple thousand dollars worth of comics I’ll buy them off you at the fair price of 5$ in bulk .
Can't believe you didn't buy the Albedo 2
Love fantastic four really under rate comic easy worth 20 each or bit more i got few low numbers ff4 slabed
You have the one in the 50s with Klaw #73 Daredevil Thor Spider-Man. #86. Dr.Doom #76 Silver Surfer #88 or #89. MOLEMAN.
Yeah! They seem pretty cool!

Good lick boys!!
These can actually be easily marketed as The Jack Kirby Age and they’ll sell at a higher price.

56 is second app of klaw
I have a lot I can do for 5 dollars bro a lot of old ones too
I wouldn't have bought that very little if no keys in that collection only worth maybe $100 maybe $50

Those fantastic four books will fetch more than that, they were mostly 5.0 to 6.0 books.
I'd personally disagree with that. I think $125 for that box would be an absolute steal, less than $2 a book. But I know I can get more out of these.
I think $300 would've been a good price. There's not a book in this box that belongs in the $3 bin, and especially no the dollar bin; idk where you got that from.
No one buys those. comic shops filled and filled with the same fantastic fours wait until they have clearance sell buy for 50 cents to a $1
@@frankygonzales15 . Never seen them for less than $5 at a comic shop, and in worse condition.
That box is about 90$ at best
seriously? only $6 each and you give her grief? id pay that all day long
Well let me know where your money tree is planted and I’ll stop trying to get a better price!
450 even is robbery to her 400 is terrible and the conditions ooof
I don't understand, these are great old vintage comics and you're talking down on them like they are basic new age everyday comics?
Hey.....more power to you. I hope you keep finding great deals like this and keep sharing the experience with all of us who enjoy the world of comics. Great score guys!!!
FFs are the third most in sales over the last 30 years. Only x men and Spidy sell more
