I like the 60s Wonder Woman Look with her hair down wearing go go boots I brought so so many comics I have them all put up
As someone that was born in 1963, This brought back memories for me. Thanks.😊
THAT SPACE 1999 SHIP HAS GREAT VALUE. AND BOXED GAMES ALSO HAVE A GREAT VALUE . KEEP THE MATCH BOX TOGETHER.
All my life I have wanted to do what you just did! Thank you for taking us with you on this treasure hunt. I enjoyed every second of it.
Happy to hear! As I was going through the stuff I kept thinking how fun it was going to be to share with everyone. In retrospect I wish I took more footage!
My introduction to American Comic books was an issue of Lois Lane, #51 from 1964, my Mother bought it for me to keep me quiet while she spoke to the lady in the newsagents! She didn't know what she started, 59 years later I'm still buying, reading and collecting them! In the early years of the Lois Lane run, it used to outsell virtually every other DC and Marvel book, so no dissing Lois, if you please, lol! By the way, you've probably already been told this but on the cover of Superman #195, that's the Bottle City of Kandor that Brainiac shrunk, first appearing in Action Comics #242!
I remember that Issue on Superman where he races The Flash
You have a lot of great videos. This was the most enjoyable for me. Thx!
I had Major Matt Mason as a kid(I'm 62)and remember fondly playing with him. The only setback was that they had wires inside of them so you could pose the arms and they would break.
Yes! I noticed one of the arms was not posable and that would explain why.
Had those too, the cool blue plastic space station. The crawler, the astronauts and the green alien.
I've been looking for a nice MMM for years, they were my favorite toy when I was a kid.
That was awesome. Takes me back to my childhood. Loved the die cast cars and Space 1999 Eagle.
Those were toys from my childhood in the 60's and I remembered most and had many of them. Nice video.
My dad used to get SO aggravated playing the game aggravation, lol.... RIP dad , and rip the 70s.... I recognize almost every toy and game there, wow that stash is crazy, and all boxed and complete too
What a great adventure bro!!! Amazing collection of toys and what great shape!!! Comics are still cool too. Thank you for taking us on the journey bro!!!
Great stuff!! But I have been in many an attic and that one was too clean. Nobody's attic is that neat!! 😂
I was mildly disappointed when I saw you pulling up yet another Batman book, but then I got super excited when I saw The Eraser.
The best part is that he uses his eraser to get rid of evidence in crime scenes. That's it. And his only weapons are his absurdly long pointy shoes that look impossible to get around in
That Space 1999 brings back memories. Great show for its time!
When you said "60's space toys" I immediately thought: "Oh man, Major Matt Mason" and sure enough! Wish you had pulled out some of those toys, were there any MMM figures in there? Those toys were amazingly pristine the boxes looked like they just came off the shelf it was like some dream!
Are these toys going to be offered on a site anywhere? If so can you post?
@@50scap3 MMM and some aliens were in the box. I haven’t decided how I’m going to sell these yet but you can always hit me up on IG or lunchmoneycomics@gmail.com if you are interested
The Eagle Transporter is wow. I don't think you know what you have there!
Check under the first layer of matchbox cars. Most carrying cases had 2 layers...
Johnny West and his horse was one of my fave toys as a Kid
Your Lois Lane reaction was perfect… it’s strangely interesting to find out what the hell is going on.
I had that Major Matt Mason Crawler when I was a kid. That was my favorite toy. What a memory!
My first time watching one of your videos. I collect comics, and I think It's a collector's dream to go in an attic and find some awesome comic books. Great video, subscribed. Keep up the good work.
I'm freaking out at that Major Matt Mason set. I loved those toys as a kid!
All the best toys in amazing shape!
The HotWheels. Just WOW!!!
Wow!!' So cool. Very nostalic! Congrats
It must have been great spending time with your family on a treasure hunt. That hot wheels green crane truck with the orange, jib,there is a hook on the end of that. I had several of those. The first time I got one 😮was the mid 60's. If you don't look after your stuff. Some poor relative is going to have to sort them out. They may get fed up & sell them super cheap as one job lot.
You are a dude after my own heart. I am having flashbacks to my bedroom wall with the shattered X-men poster. Forgot about it and if I still have it but remember it.
15:00 - I'm sure you've probably already researched it, but in case not, O'malley And The Alley Cats is from the animated Disney movie The Aristocats from 1970.
Ah thanks! I saw that as a kid but didn’t make the connection.
Loved this.Thank you.👍
Holy crap!!! That boxed Eagle 1 is amazing and worth a crap ton of bucks. I have a half complete one and is one of my favorites. Matt Mason stuff is killer too!!!!
Yeah and the Matt Mason boxes were full of expansions and adds on. Crazy stuff.
What a great video. Those Space 1999 toys are awesome.
I collect comics and toys so this was double fun for me to watch
Thanks so much for bringing the toys along, too.
Though all books were stored wrong, dirty and in rough shape I hope you enjoy them.
These were some cool comics you found recently I got to look through my friends dads comic collection and a green lantern 7 and a 16 were in there i did a trade for the 7 and the 16 had a full spine split and he gave me that because i like green lantern but keep doing what your doing.
Major Matt Mason THE ORIGINAL BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
Echoes of Chuck Rozanski finding the Edgar Church collection here Mike, the world's first recognised pedigree comics collection; unfortunately your comics aren't in the same high grade but they were clearly well read and enjoyed, which is just as important. I don't know much about old toys either but I do know that my pick among the ones you found is definitely the Eagle from Space: 1999, one of my favourite SF tv shows ever. DC's Secret Six is an interesting title, especially for the 1960s, despite only lasting for seven issues; the identity of Mockingbird, who secretly controls the Six, is not revealed until 1988 in Action Comics, two decades after Secret Six was cancelled! The title has been revived a couple of times since. A few of your DCs have beautiful Neal Adams covers I see. You're right, there were definitely some whacky stories in those Silver Age DC comics with Batman and Superman - I couldn't count the number of times each impersonated the other to get out of a sticky situation, for example, often to put Lois off the scent. Your two biggest books are really significant comics; I have always liked the appearance of Annihilus, there's something implacable and unstoppable about him, with his armour and bat-like wings. Thanks Mike for letting us take this ride with you and your family. For me, the dustier the location, the greater the chance of finding treasures.
Thanks for the great comment!
Amaze a matics so cool... my dad had one at his office in the 70's.
Love any early flash covers. So nostalgic. Dont worry about superman being tied. Bondage covers are on🔥😉
So damn cool!!!!!
Wow sorry about her and your family's loss
What an absolutely wild collection of items, like a true time capsule of a time before many of our generations. This was so cool, and surreal to see. Thanks to you and your family for preserving and sharing this.
Also, those very old Supes and co stories are absolutely batshit insane lol. Definitely read them for their sheer lunacy 😂
Lois whipping a dummy superman, Infront of tied up superman was the weirdest/kinkiest thing I ever saw.
@@sebastiengendron6427 lol I kinda want to read it to see what’s going on… but I’m kind of terrified too
Have you ever seen the documentary about the poeple that created and did wonder woman ? They were some super freaks
@@technodestructo In haven’t, do you know what it’s called?
It was a comic documentary on Netflix last year don't remember the name ill try to look it up
Two words or removing stickers from surfaces. Peanut butter! The oils in the peanut butter will neutralize the glue in the stickers. Words of caution. A little peanut butter is good for this, More is not necessarily better. Also rub the peanut butter on the sticker gently, very gently.
😮😮😮 its probably wise to keep them for a while (google its price and pay your aunt) 😊😊😊...soon you will have your own fair/garage sale or join in a toy convention, a silent collector may lurk behind the scene and all of these remarkable treasures will be worth 5 digits or more and its worth the wait!!!
That world’s finest I went on eBay and grabbed a copy of right away for under $20 ..insane price that is definitely a wall hanger
World's Finest always paired Superman with Batman, working on a case together.
I was a big DC reader, most anything with Superman. I have or had most all those that you showed. I was of an age that I was losing interest in comics about the time they changed to 15 cents.
Hey Froggy great video! I subscribed to kokomo's UTube channel
Dude you hit the motherlode, you def will get a pretty penny for that space 1999 eagle as well as the Major Matt Mason set, those are worth good money,
Such a great video buddy, I need cooler relatives 😂. World's finest 177 is absolutely awesome, still baffles me that it's not expensive too. Superman 199 is one of my favourite books, i had it graded recently and it's on my "keeper wall"
Froggy Flips would have pooped his pants if he saw that toy collection.
Just happened onto this video. The space you'd mostly from 1960s, were really popular during the space race, etc. I recognized nearly all the comics with a couple exceptions. Hold Key did a lot stuff that's actually pretty interesting if people take a look. Magnus Robot Fighter was a favorite. S nber of these are from 70s. I believe everything with 15 cent cover price on up is from about 1971 forward. Regular size comics remained 25 cents for several years. The SPACE:1999 Eagle probably 1975-1977. Shame the comics were in mostly in rough shape. Guess it's clear I'm kinda old since I actually read a number when they were new!🙂
Space 1990 eagle awesome
Actually have that world's finest book signed by shooter
Dude! Talk to Sutherby Auction house about you toys. You can make a lot of money from them. I think sometimes they will help you find a toy expert to tell you how much they are worth.
I have the Batman eraser comic mine is in decent shape cover is intact I think I bought it on Marketplace.
I am a new subscriber to your channel and have been binge watching this evening. Love this one. This is what most of us dream about and you were able to experience it firsthand. Granted most of the comics were in well loved condition as a friend of mine likes to say, but so what. Lots of fun and great comics to add to anyone's collection.
You might get a bundle deal with some stores like Dallas Vintage Toys. Price would be lower, but I believe they´d grab it all
Man I bought that adventure comic off the rack right before dc switched it over to supergirl man I was not a happy kid
I would kill for some of these!
You'll need heat to remove the stickers and then something to remove the glue....enuff said
great haul and your uncle's stories behind each book would be fascinating !
Incredible finds!! How cool!
So freaking cool!
Very cool stepping back in time 50+ years
Those sweet 16 Red Line tires are really expensive and collectible congratulations brother! And the little badges are worth about 20 to 50 bucks a piece at least.
cut comics, were more than likely returns your family got for cheaper
The Marx cowboys and horses, the Major Matt Mason playset and the Space 1999 Eagle One are the highlights, that currently demand extremely high prices.
That Space 1999 Eagle
Always on the search. Awesome
Cool ❗ stuff👍💯
Best find ever
NICE FIND DUDE!
Those toys likely will eclipse any comics found.
I had that same Eagle-1 back in 1976 for Christmas and tossed it in the trash around 1981. Last year I discovered its now worth about $1500. 😂
I think your big money is in there Kennedy action set and space 1999 toys. But, a lot of those games are very collectible and in the hundreds of dollars at least.
What really gives him the value is the condition of the boxes in their original. That's where the money is too. You can imagine some people pay just as much for the Box as they would for the toy.
Wow 😊 Matt Mason I had that as a kid❤❤
Guess what if you haven't already I found out what that ancient warship is it's a Remco 1963 Caesars warship Battle Set.VINTAGE BIG CAESAR BATTERY OP VIKING SHIP REMCO TOYS 1963
I did find that out eventually. Very hard to price and sell as I don't have the box or all the little soldiers it came with. Thanks for the info though!
Green Lantern is the man! Superman was my first at 4 5 years old and then a couple years later came Green Lantern. Those are my two main DC guys. Love the books man love the books.
Absolutely awesome find gold mind. If you're gonna action that stuff off you should give a link to whatever platform you do it on.
In your intro video... Shouldn't it be like throwing down a PB&J sandwich, then the change, then the comics instead of money for lunch and money for money and then comics for comics?
Ah I see, literally: Lunch. Money. Comics. You might be on to something lol
I really enjoyed the video, but I just had to express my incredulity that you did not recognize the bottle city of Kandor on the cover of "Superman" #195. (video timecode 24:38)
I understand you're from a different generation, but there was a reference made to Kandor as recently as in an episode of "The Big Bang Theory".
(incredulity rant over)
Ha! I totally understand. A few of my friends have also brought this up. I actually know what it is, but a lot of times when filming I’m speaking completely off the cuff, unrehearsed. I hadn’t even considered that cover until that very moment and the name escaped me. And I don’t like to edit out my mistakes because I like people seeing me in an honest light. So even though I knew what it was when I was editing the video I chose to intentionally leave it in because I thought it was funny and wanted people to chime in, which they certainly did! So thank you for the comment and correction and I hope for further corrections to my inevitable mistakes in the future!
What a great dig and you had it all to yourself. Family will appreciate your help with all that. Nice when you can make a profit on something you bought along time ago. Fingers crossed. ManThing looked like it was in pretty decent shape. Great fun!
Comics used to be sold to stores on a returnable basis, so what didn't sell they could send back. To save money on piles of comics being returned, they were allowed to just send proof of the comics (ripped off top cover) with the notion the comics would be destroyed. Some retailers may have destroyed them, but many didn't, and sold them super cheap to kids who back then weren't too bothered that a piece was missing. Those comics may be examples of that.
I was going to point this out also. Retailers did the same with magazines. Paperback books could just have entire cover sent back
They also sometimes removed the whole cover, depends on their requirements.
Nice, wish my relatives would give me a call to their attics.
Stop pulling stickers off your comics. Stamp removal solution or other chemical removers seen in youtube videos won't cause damage.
Thanks, I only took off one because it was barely attached. I’ll take your advice on the others if they are worth removing.
Was there a follow up video on this? I'd love to see how well things sold for. Great video. Love this channel.
I told it in bits and pieces. I sold the cars for quite a bit like 1.5k, most of the good toys for about the same amount, and everything else at flea markets and such which you can find videos on. So all told around $3k I think for all the toys
Price tags easy to get off
1. Hair dryer low heat at an angle
Warm it up so the glue melts then
2. Take a pair of tweezers and slowly peel the tag off using the dryer to continue to blow low heat under the tag and pull it off.
3. To clean the residual off take a cheese cloth or something clean and smooth put a dab of clear shoe cleaner(wb40 works too believe it or not) and gently clean off the rest of any glue left. Works in plastic toy packages too.
Great info, thanks!
That’s awesome! I had a similar situation happen to me this Summer in our attic. Golden Age
I collect Toys and Comics and I have Marx sets and those tall figures are from the Western Marx Toy figures they are really cool, The Marx carry all set is cool, Space 1999 us really Cool and Really rare collectables. Major Mat Mason another great find!!! Sub Search is Aesome, The Matchbox and Hot Wheels are very Sweet. Sorry for your families loss, taking everything in perspective youe Aunt will do okay with what you found in the Toys. Good Luck.
Oh man. Definitely a treasure hunt as I haven't seen that many redline hot wheels together at once. Usually they are pretty beat up. This was so much fun. Thank you kindly for sharing. 😎❤️
That last comic fantastic 4 comic was a shame that it was split seemed really good for a key 😢 anyway this video was fun to watch loved it
Thanks! Yeah that one bummed me out, especially since the rest of the book looked great.
I’m too scared to look in my family’s attics! 😂 Where will you be selling these?
That’s the big question. Originally I had a clip of me asking people to contact me if they knew someone in New England but I cut it because I felt uneasy using my channel as a platform to sell. On top of that, I sold the diecast cars a few nights after I filmed that (they were by far the easiest thing to sell and ship). Everything else? I’m hoping to find someone in New England who is interested so I don’t have to ship, otherwise I’ll have to do ebay, and deal with the fees, shipping, etc. Not an option I’m relishing. So short answer, other than the cars, I don’t know.
What a great collection! I hope you will show the rest in a later video. I liked all the comics too, even if the condition is pretty bad.
I hope you're able to get some cash for your aunt. :D
Yup, I already got her quite a bit for the toys!
BTW the Superman comic with Sups and the Flash, Superman was called away for a major disaster, and someone set up a bulletproof glass Flash didn't see and ran into. As for who won, well you will have to read it. I had bought a comic like that in my early years. A lot of the DC comics you showed, I either had or read at the grocery store waiting for my mom. Thanks for bring back good memories. 😀 😊 😉
Fond memories! When visiting Gramma as a kid, there was a big box of Matchbox cars in her walk-in cellar. Older brother, older cousin, we'd pull 'em out, play w 'em in the red foothills dirt, and always put them back when we left.
Back home, I made my own Hotwheels from a cork from my grampas booze bootle. Stuck tacks in it w big tacks in the rear for mags, smaller tacks in front. Drew✍️🏼on a racing number. Then in class, I used a pink eraser for the homemade hotrod.
I've always been a Marvel dude. To me, back then, mid70's, DC was for the older generation from the 50's. (DC was referred to as 'our distinguished competitor' by Marvel, always respected)
guess you already know the matchbox or hotwheels with red rim tires are worth more than regular ones
Yep! And I was able to sell all of them pretty easily.
I want that secret six I also live in Massachusetts maybe we can link up
It’s 100% yours if we can meet at a show or something.
Great Video. JW will you be selling the items locally or online?
I was offering them to local people first and to those who hit me up on instagram . I dis sell the cars, space toys, and western toys pretty much right after the video posted, but I still have a lot I’m not sure what to do with. Because it isn’t boxed it’s harder to sell.
Back in the 60s and 70s when comics were sold in grocery/drug/quickie stores, the proprietors could cut off the tops of the comics that didn't sell and return them for partial credit.
The remainder of the comics would either be thrown away (philistines) or given to a child within the family.
Looks like my old comics
Great video. Loved seeing the old toys, especially the ones I had as a kid in the 79s. However, let’s be clear. You stated that you found Krypto but not the Superman “doll.” Dolls are female and wear dresses. I think you meant Superman “Action Figure.” lol
LOL that’s an amazing point, fair enough!
