Thanks to some comic savvy viewers, I now realize that the stamp on my Star Wars #42 was a good thing. It’s a Mark Jewelers variant. Crazy! Thanks everyone!
Get that CGC graded. It will be worth it! An 8.0 FMV is about 300. But can command much more. This issue is the first appearance of Boba Fett and the first full appearance of Yoda in comics.
Hey Froggy! There wasn't by chance a magazine called Archeology Dig with Luke Skywalker on the cover by chance was there? If so I'd love to buy that one please. Been searching for a copy of it for ever! Cheers :)
Obviously you know what you are talking about. But I think some of those Star Wars comics are worth more when they went from 30 cents to 35 cents. That might be only the first issue price change but it might be worth looking into.
Hey Froggy l wanna tell you a sad story 😢 which will break your heart ❤️ as it still does mine 😢 Back in the UK in 1977 when l started collecting and you weren’t even born, l was offered Luke bubble packs, Darth Vader bubble packs and a zillion other original Star Wars merchandise from a toy shop which was closing down ALL @ £1.25 each ( $1.00 -1977 conversation rate £ to $) and I said NO!!!!! The BIGGEST mistake in my collecting career 😢
What a great pick Anthony, i think $1K was about right, she said she needed the money and fair paly to her, most people don't admit that, she actually almost cried i think when you agreed on the amount, what a sweet lovely lady and a cool mini in the garage 🙂you are a really good guy, a lot of [people would have tried to screw her down as she needed the cash. Your a gent! for sure.
I made a similar purchase in the UK about 7 years ago from a lady in Manchester. Her Grandson had passed away and she was looking to memorialise him with funds from the sale. 4 people went to look at the collection at the same time as me. Apart from myself not one of them spoke to her about her grandson or asked about the history of the Collector. You did a good thing here mate, well done
Wow! What a deal! I’m a Star Wars dealer and collector myself, that ROTJ millennium falcon box is pretty hard to come by! And of course the centerpiece of the collection was the r2d2, great find! And a great price
I start all my action figures on auction for $.99, so I let people pay what they want to for the item. If everyone priced them at 50 cents then there wouldn’t be enough to go around for everyone. I’m also a collector, but I sell duplicates or things that I don’t think are good enough condition for my collection.
You are awesome & I love how good you are with the people you deal with you definitely are not out taking advantage of people like I’ve seen others do when people have no clue what they got. My son & me love watching your videos & because of people like you,Game/toy hunters & retro Rick have got us back into the collecting life again. Truly appreciate what you do
The bittersweet departures people make with their beloved collections for unfortunate but equally love-driven reasons are softened by your square dealing, tact, enthusiasm, and respect. You're a good one.
I've collected all my life, bought and sold many many things and just watching your video, that for whatever reason, appeared on my feed, you are an honorable buyer. That is a very hard quality to find in an adult dominated hobby where the dollar is king. Don't ever lose that quality.
She seemed happy and relieved by the price, really appreciate you not taking advantage of such a thoughtful women. Win wins are so great, hope you come out ahead! * edit, watched till the end, awesome gratz!
I had the Rancor as a kid. Man, I loved that thing. l always took care of it and always played with it. One day I thought I outgrew it along with all of my other SW and He Man toys and I put them in a donate bag. Now, I really wish i would have kept them in the attic for my kids to play with. Seeing this Rancor really rips my heart out.
It's touching she had this collection since her childhood probably. Like said these things are meant to be enjoyed temporarily. I haven't held on to items that long. Impressive to watch.
* WOW ~ Hope you & she are both happy with this buy. Lots of fun to look at. So many things near new.. Glad you are learning to your benefit.. Would love to sit & look thru all of that.. FUN.
I'm turning 23 this year and watching this video gave me such a childhood nostalgia rush, omg! I owned a lot of this stuff growing up and so did my dad!
These videos make me mad happy like all stuff my oldest brother or cousin or I had growning up I was born 89 oldest bro 82 cousin 86 so alot stuff familiar
Bravo sir...bravo. Put another check mark into the column of pros to doing the videos and most importantly doing business the right way so people recommend you to others. That's the gift that will never stop giving
My son's, now in their 40s had a lot of the toys you showed. When the kids were 3 and 6 we were having a yard sale. The boys were playing with all those star wars toys on the patio. While I was inside my husband sold hundreds of dollars worth, every single star wars toys they had, right out from under their playing and sold them for $5.00 for everything! I've never been so mad in all of my life. When my older son was in his late 20s started buying some of his favorites back.
44 year old star wars dork here, just found the channel. Love it man! 70s -80s star wars is still one of my favorite things, up there w 80s -90s marvel dc comics. Great stuff man, subbed!
That Star stamp on the Star Wars 42 might signify it as a MARK JEWELERS VARIANT! Check the inside centerfold of the book, if there’s a mark jewelers ad, that increases the value like crazy due to its rarity!!
@@FroggyFlips I’m glad you saw it in time before selling it!!! Check all the other issues for it too. That comic lot might be able to pay for the whole lot alone if there’s more.
They were exclusively sold to military bases to influence servicemen to buy jewelry for their loved ones back home. I think they’re super fun to find in the wild but they’ve definitely increased in following and collectibility as of late in the comic community. Score!!
Nice haul Froggy! We still have our last 17 R2-D2 with scope and kept the backing board. Back in those days, my son and I spend many a day seeking out to complete the collection of figures. He treasures that collection and we both treasure the memories of finding a hidden SW gem at a store on our Saturday quests.
Killer shoes maaaaan! She's lucky you came to the rescue. Honest and fair. Birds chirping and Star Wars memories. Thank you for the awesome video and knowledge.
Oh man. I'd give a limb for a find like that. First off, those VHS tapes were clean, cleeeean. Nice vintage toy haul and of course the R2 pop up is a great find. Lovely, lovely haul.
What a cool channel! Love your format all of it is down to earth, authentic and interesting. Not a collection person at all, but found the video fascinating! Great work!
Awesome finds. I picked up the Pop-up Saber R2-D2 for $2 in 2010. I am amazed to see how expensive that figure is going for now. Thank you for your videos. Take care.
First time watching this episode!! First thing i peeped was the old school garden weasel… my brother and i got in big trouble in about 1985 when we took my moms garden weasel apart for chinese stars!!!! 😂😂
The pop up lightsaber and Jabba playset were among the few of the original '77-'85 run that I never got, before I sold my entire collection. Cool find.
Wow this video just gave me a flashback. I haven't seen or thought about them in 40 years, but those have to be Burger King Star Wars glasses. I'd forgotten about them, but those have to be them. You'd get one with a meal and eventually collect all of them. That's crazy.
I had to share this video with two loved ones that are HUGE SW fans/collectors. Froggy you may have already done business with them in your ever growing collection. May The Force Be With You!
Wow Froggy, incredible haul! Love your vids! You're always fair and honest, not trying to "beat" people. Was that 1st appearance of Boba Fett comicbook a Mark Jewelers? I think that's what that stamp indicates, not sure. 🔥
Another great video. 9 hours to go through the lot. I buy and sell some things in my hometown. People don't realize the time and hustle needed to be successful at this craft. Keep up the great content!
My jaw dropped seeing you look and sort through everything. If I were to come to a sale like this, I would act like a had eaten chocolate for the first time in my life! I liked this video and will continue to keep watching. Keep up the good work!
Before seeing that R2D2 I was thinking that lady fleeced Froggy on this deal with the sad story about her father. For a $1000 this lot would take a lot of work and time to see a decent profit.. R2D2 saves the day once again.
Was about to sign off after a weekend overtime at work. then got notified about a new Froggy Flips upload!! Without hesitation stood up and went TH-cam time! Thank you for these uploads Anthony! always makes my day bro! epic haul!!
"They are just sitting in a box" is why I gave away most of my Star Wars collection to a little cousin of mine who likes SW. Every now and then I wish I had some back but it made him happy to play with and that was better than it just sitting in boxes.
When the first Star Wars movie came out my buddy was so excited he said “ I dreamed about the movie last night”. New went to the theater and watched it and I loved it. There was a K B Toy store next to the theater with all of the theater. It was loaded with Star Wars. Well of course I didn’t buy anything. I guess it went the way of the baseball cards that went on my bikes spokes in the 60’s. True story.
Froggy that was a wonderful video great pick up of a collection of Star Wars I am a Star Wars fanatic I've been collecting for a long time and I still don't have one of those r2d2
It's always really nice to visit a place full of toys and especially vintage Star Wars Toys! The Return of the Jedi Millennium Falcon box is in really good shape and the spaceship and 1985 Pop Up saber R2 is pretty as well and easy to find too! Congrats on this found and thank you for sharing it !

I would have offered $450 and ended up paying around $600

Seller seems like a sweet person. Glad y'all can both benefit from the deal.
She definitely is! I’ve actually bought more from her since. Very nice lady!
@@FroggyFlips, Buying More is a good reason to make deals that make you both Happy.. Love your ability to make some things Complete..
@@FroggyFlips that's great, happy for both of ya.
Yeah she sounded cool.
The bittersweet departures people make with their beloved collections for unfortunate but equally love-driven reasons are softened by your square dealing, tact, enthusiasm, and respect. You're a good one.
We are all but temporary guardians of our possesions. It's good to know this one went to someone who will cherish it.

Agreed. We need more collectors like this fella.
Bless her, she seemed so nervous and apprehensive.
I’m glad she got what she wanted and I think you also got a really good deal too..
👊
$1000 you got an amazing deal... The vintage stuff in original boxes is amazing... good luck in your quest to buy a super car.
You just don’t see this kinda stuff here in the UK , love to see it!! America are Goated when it comes to collectibles and pop culture memorabilia.
She seemed happy and relieved by the price, really appreciate you not taking advantage of such a thoughtful women. Win wins are so great, hope you come out ahead! * edit, watched till the end, awesome gratz!
I’m a MASSIVE Star Wars collector, this is AMAZING. I’m drooling.
Awesome! How long have you been collecting, if you don't mind me asking? I'm curious.
To say I was excited for this vid is an understatement! Thanks for the quality content Anthony!!!
Thanks so much!
Last 17 loose figures have gone up in value so much, I gave up trying to buy them to complete my original vintage collection. Good find on the R2!
No doubt! At this point I’m up to 10 and most have been good deals. Trying hard to finish it off 😂
I had the Rancor as a kid. Man, I loved that thing. l always took care of it and always played with it. One day I thought I outgrew it along with all of my other SW and He Man toys and I put them in a donate bag. Now, I really wish i would have kept them in the attic for my kids to play with.

that lady is cool af. the collection she accumulated is really something to be proud of.
I can’t imagine my mom or grandma be like…”I know Star Wars. I’ve got the toys!”
Absolutely love your vlogs! My wife and I have become so addicted to your series.
Thanks so much!
Boss Video. I was very impressed with 77 to 85 merch. Your bliss is kinda out of this world.
Great Star Wars buy. Made me look at my stuff. Found the R2D2 with the lightsaber and coin! Wow!
It's touching she had this collection since her childhood probably. Like said these things are meant to be enjoyed temporarily. I haven't held on to items that long. Impressive to watch.
Great video! I am glad you both came out satisfied:)
Thank you!
* WOW ~ Hope you & she are both happy with this buy. Lots of fun to look at. So many things near new.. Glad you are learning to your benefit.. Would love to sit & look thru all of that.. FUN.

Nice lady and great find
Just love when u get hidden thing that are crazy in value or rare
44 year old star wars dork here, just found the channel. Love it man! 70s -80s star wars is still one of my favorite things, up there w 80s -90s marvel dc comics. Great stuff man, subbed!
Nice pick, and a nice price!!! Always love listening to you nerd out about stuff bub!
Hahahha, thanks kid!
It's always fun to see my childhood bring saved. Tyfs
Cool collection, I also respect the way you put everything back neatly in their respective bins after inspecting them.
Some people are just natural in front of the camera. You're one of them. Great video
Enjoyed the video very much and happy you found a lot of good things in this haul. Take care and happy searching.
Another great video, cabinets & wall art looking good, would love to see a tour video of workshop in future, cheers from across the pond 😘
Its always fun to have a price in my head when I see these collections, then what you offer, then what they take.
You do a great job on these; you def. found your calling! Right on.

That m falcon w the box is in such good condition for being used/ loved. So good dude
Fun one to watch again and learning some stuff to
Thanks from the Nederlands 🤙
Nice pick ups. Especially the #42. Just bought a 9.0 at a comic shop for $300 so you did well. Your videos are great. Keep it up sir.
Another great video. 9 hours to go through the lot. I buy and sell some things in my hometown. People don't realize the time and hustle needed to be successful at this craft. Keep up the great content!

Loving froggys vlogs. Keep up the great work and finds buddy 👍
Thanks so much!
No thank you sir for the time and effort you put in much appreciated 👍
I love these! I'm a huge Star Wars geek and have a small collection so these are always my favorite videos . Thanks!!
My jaw dropped seeing you look and sort through everything. If I were to come to a sale like this, I would act like a had eaten chocolate for the first time in my life! I liked this video and will continue to keep watching. Keep up the good work!

Was about to sign off after a weekend overtime at work. then got notified about a new Froggy Flips upload!! Without hesitation stood up and went TH-cam time! Thank you for these uploads Anthony! always makes my day bro! epic haul!!
