  • A local friend and reseller just called me and said he found a massive collection of sealed vintage TMNT figures. A couple of the figures could be worth thousands. Lets see if I can buy them and make some profit...

    $8 a piece and an on card scratch is part of it. Unbelievable. To equate this to video games, it would be like finding a copy of Stadium Events at a garage sale. Scratch is recognized as the masterpiece or “52 Topps Mickey Mantle” of TMNT figures. It’s unbelievable these were at a garage sale, let alone for $8 ea.

      It happens. That’s why I tell fig hunters to look for and hit random yard sales instead of planning based on Facebook advertisements. I personally got an entire collection of vintage Power Ranger toys for $10 that I ended up selling for 4k.
      The woman said they were her sons and she just wanted to clear space. “Old lady” yard sales don’t pay out every time, but they hit HARD sometimes.

    Finding 2 of the rarest turtles on card for 8 bucks is wild. There’s others that are just as valuable like dinosaur shredder. Definitely got some grails.

  • @djridgway949
    @djridgway949 Рік тому +4

    4:08 Like with anything in this case it's all about production numbers to make these figures valuable. Scratch was a short run, I think only one production run (think short-printed yu-gi-oh cards, etc.) And because of that, boarded Scratch new was also going for $250-400+ even in 2009/2010.

    Late run figures and limited = value. simple concept that you likely know. One thing to look for on the first run is the Flyer club in the original 4 turtles of the 10 backs. they are worth far more than the later reprints. Same with the no Stripe April 10 back.

    My first few jobs were at toy stores. I’ve touched all of those ninja turtle figures for sale, on the pegs. The 1st ever April O’Neil, has a yellow jumper with white boots. She shipped less than 1 figure every one and a half boxes.
    Yellow and Orange boots one per box initially, but later would be 2 per box.
    Sooo if you ever find the Yellow Jumper white boots April, she IS THE RAREST of all the figures… Happy Hunting….
