*If Rick were there: *
"Well, the cover clearly says $2.50. Best I can do is $1.50 and pack of Doritos. "
Andy Zhang "and im taking all the risk here"
“I am taking a *HUGE* risk here”
Andy Zhang Yea Rick is stupid.
$1.50 y un gansito
Seria "ó" un gansito
after muhammad ali died, im sure that guy most have instantly regretted that $135
Well when Old Man died, the price went back down.
Maybe it went down after that Superman/Batman movie he was talking about came out ;)
It’s not worth much more than $135. That’s a great deal to get, especially from a pawn shop.
If it were Ali signed with his autograph it could've been worth a lot by now 👊 🐝
Especially since superman had that 80th anniversary and with Ali's passing this should be.well sought after
Is that really an expert ? The way he opens and inspect the book =))
He's a toy expert and really didn't know what he was talking about when he graded it.
Right
Everyone can’t be Rebecca
J ellowpy I know right. I felt like he didn't care and acted like he's reading a 1$ comic
J ellowpy
Yeah I was thinking the same, it really bothered me when I seen him open the comic. If someone opened one of my old comics like that I woulda flipped.
it's worth more then that now. RIP ALI
BLuv's Place Ali must be the greatest he beat Superman.
check ebay lol
If it were signed by Ali. Then maybe
not really, this comic varies A LOT in price.
Such a beautiful comic. I woulda just kept it for good.
the way the expert guy was explaining how good the art and the book was at the end I thought he meant 150-175K LOL
bruh i thought the same thinf
Me too😂
I seriously did
The minute Corey said "I'm not a comic book store", I would have said "You know what, you're right, I'm outta here!" I would rather spend $135 framing it than give it to the pawnshop for $135!
Yeah, I really don't see why people would even try to sell comic books at a pawn shop. They'd get way better deals at collectible stores.
It's OK daddy's shop makes you appear knowledgeable, then you speak.
135 you got ripped off if i had this comic i wouldnt of sold it to a pawn shop
Well you can relax now, nothing was sold, this is a scripted tv show for educational purposes.
Frankie Gee no, it is not. They may act while negotiating but the deals are deals. Those actually happened
That's worth more than 135
+Adrian Larkins its really really not. ebay has one for $60 and 2 more for $120 right now, just checked.
+Adrian Larkins not really as anyone who wants it can easily torrent it. I just did a few min ago. But to be honest, the truly valuable comics need to be in perfect condition, in original wrapping and needs to be in very limited supply. For example, a superman comic which was only given to like 50 people (say the movie staff and some of the financiers of the movie) at a special superman movie (first one) event would be worth millions but only if it was in perfect unopened condition. Because man made stuff is worth a lot more if it is kept in perfect condition. Now if an ancient artifact comes in then one can expect some defects and scuffs.
Its 120 on Ebay right now.
+Adrian Larkins No it isn't because it's not that rare of a book. Although Johnny does undercut the customers.
buster20010 well to be honest Johnny lowballs every customer. My guess is he relies on the consultation fee from the shop more than the revenue from his own shop. I have seen many times he lowballs rare toys in like mint condition. Often times, he quotes at half the retail price. In my opinion he is a fraud. And with most toys, one can easily sell them on ebay for real cheap.
When the guy says "can you do 135 ?" after just putting a price of 225, Corey was like Bam!!! I got him!!!!
Its going to skyrocket
Exactly
Yea in about 10 years
Still easily able to be bought though.
Now that he's passed away, it definitely will.
Cerqua you are the legend! 🙏
I have never before seen a so called "expert" being such a non expert..
Why doesn't the guy just sell it online himself? A quick eBay search will pull up it's value. I don't get how people don't understand this...
Because most of the time people want the money fast. If they listed it online and on eBay, it will take days
They'd rather lose a lot of money to a middle man than to take an extra few days to sell it themselves?
Nigel Dreiner I don't think they lose as much money as you're thinking they do. But yes, the world we live in today, people have almost no patience
Because the show is 100% fake.
not everyone's computer savvy
I Remember as a Teenager seeing this Comic at My Neighborhood News Stand. I wish I could have added this Comic to My Then Comic Book Collection.
I still have that same comic that my grandpa left me. Awesome comic book
Would you sell it?
I don't know about y'all but there's a baddie at 0:23 in violet/purple and pink
nope aye she bad 😂 helped y'all stay woke🙌
KFC Thug Thought I was the only one lol
MsgtFlores19 nahh fam we here 😂😂🙌
KFC Thug dayum son. 🔥
Jonathan Sosa i got you covered
90% of the time after a sale they say "take my wife to diner" treat yourself.
"Let me explain to you something, buddy!" Corey always comes off as a total jerk! I wouldn't buy or sell anything to him.
Not exactly he’s just a good and tough negotiator and a good salesman
@@humourfood7976 thats just your opinion
My beloved father gave me this comic on my birthday....it may bought in Singapore....love u much Dad, hope u rest in heaven n blessed by God
This comic is barely going for $100 on ebay.
Lorenzo Carter where
@@ericmccloud7619 e b a y... dose saying it s l o w e r, help?
@@ericmccloud7619 it’s a lot more now. Actually kinda hard to find on there
Finally, what I've been wanting to hear; (I'm a Pawn Shop not a comic book store), I love it!
Yes!
Wow, Cory went from Fat Slob to Amish...
The most surprising thing about this episode was that he had a wife sure had me fooled
My beloved father gave me this comic that he bought in Singapore when i was kid....RIP dad, love u so much
*brings the first ever Superman comic
Rick: it’s says a dime on it, so best I can do is a nickel and my dirty underwear.
Pawner:Well its a 410 karat diamond so i can do $50,000,000
Rick:I can do $2.50
And not a penny more, I'm taking all the risk here, you leave with 2.50 cold hard cash right now and I'm stuck with a 410k diamond. I'm talking cash money 🤣🤣
hes got a gambling addiction lol take wife to a nice dinenr and be able to go gambling with 135$ ? yeah hes considering Wendy's value menu
Started with taking his wife out, thought about it, then told the truth
Wendy’s lol
135 for a Wendy's meal? You can go to a nice place for 30 bucks and use the 100 left over for gambling what you talking about.
Remind me for my beloved father...he gave me such comic when my birthday around 1981-1982...RIP, my father
With Ali passing away (RIP Ali) that comic book is worth so much more. I'd say at least 10x $135
I have this book...it's like fifty bucks.
I have one of those issues! Happy to hear its worth so much - and probably even more today!
1:17 The hard cover released a year and a half ago has a list of the actors that Neil sketched in the audience. Christopher Reeve is one of them on the front by the way.
I'm surprised Johnny doesn't have his own series on history, I think it'd be really cool especially if it's formatted out like Counting Cars, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Comic Book Men, ect.. I'd love to see him get one.
I had this same comic when I was a kid. In the audience on the cover is a who's who of celebrities at the time.
"You don't just have superman, you have muhammad ali, two very well known figures. Superman actually doing a movie with batman." As much as I love supes. . .he isn't real😂😂
No way man... that's a Whitman reprint. This book popped when Ali passed away and if it was MINT, maybe $500. Most sell for about $100... but that's a Whitman reprint. Advantage: Seller.
probably worth thousands now
“I will probably take my wife to a nice dinner”
The time of voice suggest he has other than a wife
This was a book that I have no lie owned three different copies. I presently own one. Going to these pawn shop people with that book is just ,well,suspect in general. Might have been staged. But this book,albeit was a one shot story line money grab at the time was endearing ( to me at least especially as a kid)Ali and Superman in a GIANT sized book was Awesome. ALI WAS HUGE at the time.
The story ,to me as a kid at the time was fun.
But the book itself was fun due to the celebrities on the cover AND chart inside the cover telling you who they were by numbered identification. NOW ,the sad parts it's now May 1st 2022. Ali has been gone for quite some time, and, sadly,Neal Adams the legendary artist of this cover and many more covers and Batman stories ,died on April 28 ,2022 just a few days ago.
I hope anyone seeing this will look him up and give more reverence to this book and his legacy. And it goes without saying, but I'll say anyway, Ali was the Greatest!Keep your comic books out of pawn shops read and enjoy them .
I just saw this on eBay. For 725 bucks it was in very good condition. I got this comic book and it's in his good condition I'd say it's worth a thousand then
Ali was so good he get to be in a comic book with superman.
R.I.P Muhammad Ali
Looking at ebay $25 to $125 on 11-18-2019 he came out ahead
why not sell it on ebay instead of a pawn shop which is always going to buy at underrated prices???
This edition is under the Whitman label, which affects its value.
I was surprised the expert didn't point that out.
@@PhillipCummingsUSA That's because he is no expert! Maybe on Twinkie's, but not comics!
Yes, it increases the value. There are plenty of DC versions of this out there but not as many Whitman prints. And even the DC prints will fetch more that what he got! This guy must have just been desperate for cash. I would spend $135 framing it, before I let it go for that kind of low money!
Traded a rare comic book for a dinner with his wife, what a gentleman 😣
Rick's son is too low ball?...Go in with a Picasso and he probably offer you a tenner?
I’ve actually got this one. Not in perfect condition but still pretty good Nick.
I sold mine 11 years ago for $75, but that was to a major collector of Superman memorabilia and in flawless condition.
The Comic price guide is just that, "a guide" and comics in general are a terrible investment.
You could have stacks of #1 issues from the 80's and 90's but perhaps one out of a hundred of them are worth more than 0.75- 1.50.
Sad. I'd have been tempted just to give the guy $135 so he could keep such an awesome piece of history.
I went there to ask Rick if he could give me change for a dollar, he said the best he could do was a nickle, I said fine I was willing to come down to 75 cents, he said he would go up to a dime but he was taking a huge gamble at that price. I finally said F it and went to a gas station to get change for my dollar.
Both The Man of Steel and The Greatest are both the greatest! 💪
What I find odd is Superman is a DC Comics character and, according to Wikipedia, that comic was from DC Comics. The cover Wikipedia shows says DC Comics. But that cover says Whitman. Whitman, according to Wikipedia, were never part of DC Comics or Time-Warner.
List to grab rare comics,props,etc:1 time machine 2 lots of money 3location
02:57 yeah no way he has a wife
He sold a major historical comic book for a dinner with his wife. WOW
oh says 2.50 on the cover, cool dude, I'll give you a McDouble and a bag of chips😂
I had this one magazine in the 80s..
I have the same comic book just sitting in my box still in the plastic bag, and I just found it in a box with Lonnietoon comic books
That is worth millions now!!!
I have 3,,,, original superman vs Ali 1978 comic book's. > One is a W, and 2 is the DC
This being the 3rd time I've seen said "comic expert" on this show and none of them wear gloves etc. I'm not comic expert but you'd think they'd be more judicious? Just my 2c
Karn Hall They actually have a "comic expert " now, come in. guess they got burnt by this guy's "knowledge" to many times
This is the only time in Pawn Stars where to starting price negotiated is reasonable
Bruh
Muhammad Ali and Clark would become best friends
😊
Alfred E Newman in 1:01
Don’t take comics to pawn shops
now that Mohammed Ali pass away... it's worth alot more...
Unfortunately that comic isn't as valuable as we thought I seen as high $175 but it's still pretty cool
I hope there is a movie about Ali vs Superman
I remember these oversized special editions were everywhere and grossly overpriced in the 90's during the comic boom
I've been binge watching pawn stars
Expert: It's worth 100-150 bucks.
Random guy: Well I think that's underpriced and you see It's not only Muhammad Ali BUT Superman too.
Pawn Stars: Did you hear the expert...
I have rhis book. I cherish it dearly
Johnny is the best👍!
I would never sell rare comic books to a pawn shop... Or rare anything for that matter, you only get a quarter of half the retail value
I have the exact same one but in good condition instead of what his was. Now that the greatest Ali has passed I wonder how much it's worth
note: that's not the first printing, it's the 'distributed to toy stores' reprint done by western/whitman publishers; note the DC logo is missing from the cover. :) the reprints - at the time - were known to be worth less (especially with Marvel's Star Wars comic reprints), but over time it would still be worth a lot. kids not into comic books would usually throw these away. and my own whitman copy is very dogeared. ;)
That comic book most likely came out in 1975 or 76
1978, actually.
135 LMFAO. That dude was probably punching himself in the ribs when he got home and saw just a Benjamin, Andrew Jackson, Hamilton, and Lincoln in his wallet..
The “expert” didn’t notice it was published by Whitman, not DC, which lowers the value significantly.
I just searched that up on the internet and you can buy it for 15 dollars😂
The reprint HCs dingleberry.
wows is that english
Donnie and Marie at 1:14 right in the middle
I have an original of this comic. I say "original" because I think this version is a re-run or 2nd printing or something on account of the "Whitman" brand stamped on the cover. Mine has "DC" on the cover, no Whitman. I do have a giant size poster of the cover that has "Whitman." But I'm pretty sure for the book itself Whitman was pressed after the original DC. I can't help but wonder if the "DC" version would be worth more.
haha. in real life, Muhammad Ali would flying off to another planet
I got that book for $80.
Things like comic books and baseball cards have very easy to check values. They make price guides for them that any pawn shop should have on hand instead of calling in a buddy to ask. But that doesn't make good television i guess.
Why is the Whitman reprint worth so much? You can see where the DC logo was covered over and the Whitman logo slapped over it. And to think I used to have 10 of these!
Mohammad Ali is awesome..
There is one on ebay for $100 - same condition - right now. so all you saying he got ripped off are wrong. do your research.
Omg I would pay £1000 for that comic and I'm not even a collector, what a bargain he got
Usually sold for 1 million
Pawn star: I will give you 135 dollars I am talking a big risk
I have this comic signed by the creator and Muhammad Ali
Are you sellling it
I don’t think I will. I’ll probably keep it for my daughter. It’s also not graded but this has to be in near mint.
Echo 23 oh ok
First time I ever saw a customer hustle one of the gold and silver employees.
Ali so good superman only one who could compete against him in ring
I thought they meant 150 grand LMAOOO I was like thats a good offer
Great Everytime a deal is settled!
Guy:can i get change for 1:00$
Rick:best i can do is 0:48
I believe that's a Whitman later printing
Okay people, pay attention. at 0.20 you'll see "Whitman" logo over DC logo... this was NOT the original printed version. not sure how long it came out after original print run, but technically it's not the "first version"... shouldn't have gotten THAT much. sorry... and, John Wayne was the actor who wouldn't agree to his face being used.
He should have sold it to some comic or vintage shops that take those as a huge centimental value
Hey, 1:01 it's Pete Buttigieg. LOL
