- THE DEAL THAT SHOOK ME TO MY CORE!
I made an amazing connection at a recent flea market. He invited me over to what became the vintage toy and comic deal of my life! Vintage Toy Hunting Ride along!

Sorry the video is so long! Let's just call it an "end of the year, super sized episode." :). Happy New Year!
Never apologize for length. 😂
Haha wish it was like 1 hour instead
Froggy come to Amsterdam ok?
Great vid
Too long? You can make your videos for at least two hours long lol. I have no knowledge of Transformers at all (bought my first Transformer last year, a Generations Studio Series (no.54) Megatron, which I got for a ridiculous price, because the toy store made a mistake lol), but I ordered recently a ''Hasbro Legacy Evolution Soundblaster'' (which looks exactly like that Soundwave), it can be evolved into a 1980s radio boombox, including with a cassette tape. Btw, that box with comic books was just insane! Incredible! Happy New Year to you, Anthony, your wife and your kids! Greetings from the Netherlands.
You can just feel for this guy looking through his comic collection for the last time.
That must have been hard for him.
It’s super awesome seeing all these people loving my big brother!!! We’ve known how awesome he is forever, and now we get to share him with the world! 💛💛💛 love you frog.
Thanks sissy!
@@FroggyFlips That green monster toy is (krusher the gruesome growing reptile/monster made by mattel in 1979) and I've seen prices from like $150 & up..
Edit: sorry I got excited and commented that when I first seen it on the video then noticed you knew exactly what it was at the end of video.. but excellent find on everything congratulations bro!!!
So nice
He’s an awesome guy!! BC Canada! Happy new year froggy!!!
Froggy is the best. Reminds me of my dad. He loves collecting toys even had a toy room when I was little. Makes me love toys and figures so much.
That intro was absolutely correct. Treat people fairly, take your wins and loses with grace, and you'll find yourself so much happier in life.
Exactly!
Agreed. Most people would rather give a good dude a great deal than get $20 more from someone shady.
It made me smile on the inside too. Yeach your kids that young!
There's always something sad and tragic about these people clearing out their collections. I think they are dealing with the realisation that all their efforts end with a crappy exchange of banknotes with a stranger.
Froggy, thanks for bringing some humanity to these transactions.
That’s why I only collect video games, which I can actually use forever. Also, I will never sell any of my games til the day I die, so I don’t foresee that being an issue for myself. 🤷🏼♂️
Hopefully one doesn’t come to the circumstances where you have to clear your stuff out because your dead azzed broke and need the duckets. This stuff is meant to be parted out on a one on one basis to buyers that are looking for a piece they want or have been seeking for ages. Knowing when the day comes and I part out my stuff somebody will display the stuff they bought from me just like I displayed happily after I bought it.
As a Comic Guy I was absolutely drooling over that small box. That’s the kind of box I dream of finding in the wild. Even at $1200 your probably at the very least doubling your money. The House of secrets at a 4.5 grade sells for around 1k which covers most of the cost. That’s a purchase that will keep on giving for a while. Awesome pick up.
No. Not anymore
@@wileecoyote5749What do you mean?
I feel like hes gonna at least get 4 Gs out of this. But I know nothing about comics.
It seemed like he wasn’t exactly happy selling his jewels but you to kicking in that extra $200 was such a classy move. It isn’t very often great items like this are found or offered up but your treatment and respect to him will definitely make him think next time he’s willing to part out more. Now of course your problem is what excellent stuff do you keep and what to play forward.
yeah he seemed really sad :(
@@sandingo been there before probably needs the extra cash tbh I had to sell my chains and games for when I got laid off and couldn’t get another job now I’m slowly buying those things back
$1200 for that box of comics was a steal. literally That box could potentially be worth 10k plus. That House of secrets is easily $2k. I felt really bad for him. He knew he shouldn't have gotten rid of those.
The extra 200 was a class act move. Happy sellers are your best bet at finding other buys through word of mouth. Amazing buy! ❤
I wouldn't be surprised if the King Kong poster is the highest value item out of the first part of the haul, insanely obscure stuff like that are collector's grails. Got to consider that fact that 99% of those ended up in landfill, and the few that trickled into peoples hands were mishandled to the point the wore down overtime. The stuff that was never meant to be owned by consumers is by far the coolest stuff in my opinion.
Yea I agree, having King Kong on top of the Towers and its from what 76 he said and weren't the towers finished around then?
@@jeffbloomquist7925 ive got some amazing vintage 50s 60s 70s movie posters , czcams.com/video/HVta7QH-_wE/video.html , amazing chinese Enter Dragon lp , same art as movie posters. Beware of HK bootleg movie posters , almost every poster was factory folded then.
@@jeffbloomquist7925 got 3 italian Kong movie posters : 2sh & 4sh from Kong '33 (60s reissue , vhtf) & Kong '76 by Ciriello (looks like Kong is crouching down)
When he said $1000 sounds good or is it a little too much and you accepted right away, I know quite a few others that would bring the price down and you probably could too. But that’s already a fair price and it was his asking price so it’s great to see that you respected that 👍🏻 great haul!
Ive unsubscribed from quite a few people who know they are getting deal but still try to knock of a dollar or two. One guy found a $100 action figure for $5 and offered $3.
@@kbryant7709 I would have offered $2 and would have felt insulted if he didn't take it.
It's about building relationships. He has more to sell and more than likely has friends that collect. Froggy was fair. People will remember that and share it with others.
@@kbryant7709 $3 sounds like too much to me. Tell me who they are and I'll be sure to subscribe to them.
@@kbryant7709 Those cheap people would rather save $1 or $2 instead of paying it and building solid relationships. Froggy always seems to respect people's prices which is nice to see.
Wow awesome scores man! Should definitely do a update video after the comics get back from grading, would love to see what they get
Definitely will!
For sure interested in that as well! I love seeing grade returns and these items are so rare!
got some 1st issue german Bruce Lee flyers printed on cheap newspaper stock , vhtf but not very valuable......still its not always about $ tho , the historic value is dynamite however@@FroggyFlips
I am a comic collector and all I have to say is "OMFG...What a GOD BOX of COMICS you just found.
Dude. That’s why people like selling to you. Your honest. You knew the comic might grade high which would be a crazy score but you gave him 200 extra bust in case it graded well. Wow. Your awesome. I wish the guys I dealt with were like you
you are living proof that if you treat people with respect, most of the time they will return the same to you. I am not surprised that folks want to do repeat business with you. wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy 2023
Thanks so much!
Such a nice friendly guy,
With some amazing stuff!
That comic box alone is an absolute gold mine!
Does show if your good with people and build up these relationships you can then get some great deals and priority 👍
Ps - I do admire how you always give a little extra if you know you’ve got a great deal
Absolutely!
took me 7-8 yrs to find Defenders of Earth Grip Jaw vehicle.....had the box been mint it couldve been worth 500 , alas heavily worn. Cool to own in any capacity tho@@FroggyFlips
Besides the great find and deal, I'm blown away about how CLEAN he kept everything! That's really impressive!
Comic guy here. That was the box that collectors dream of. You absolutely made a fantastic investment that will keep on giving for many years to come. Definitely get all those heavy hitters graded, and you’re looking at some very nice returns. Congratulations on a great way to end the year!
Funniest part about it, 15 years ago the only comics in that box that would have been pulled would have been the Star Wars 1-5 , the house of secrets 93, and MAYBE the new mutants 98. Everything else was under $5 15 years ago
I don't usually comment but I do watch every video and have been watching for over a year. Love your videos but this video was my favorite. What a variety and all the things I like. What a haul and what an amazing value you got. Amazing! Way to go Froggy!
Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching!
So many number 1 comic books in the box........ A comic collector's dream box.....
An honest guy. Just like sports card collector dealer investor in that order . This channel and his are top notch man
That comic box had me drooling. Heck of a pick up!
I squealed so loud when you picked up the Thunder Cats!!! SO AMAZING!!!
Love em!
Sooey!
I am living in India where we dont really have garage sales... but boy am i addicted to your videos, cant have enough of these, if i ever move to the US i would probably start looking for these garage sales and being fair to the seller thanks to you Froggy.
You’re literally my favorite reseller !
Thank you!
You are an absolute gem to us all that appreciate the oldies. Not only do you open the vault of our childhood memories, but you educate us along the way. Thank you for being an amazing, honest man and allowing us to tag along with you on this throwback journey of yours. Happy New Year fellow Hoosier 🐸
Thanks so much! Happy new year!
Nice haul! I was noticing how well controlled your poker-face is, but how honest and forthright you are. You are very conscious about stepping in toes, or making someone feel as though their collection isn’t valued as high as they think.
I appreciate you and your gamesmanship, keep hunting and posting vids.
Damn that earth Vader. When I was little Darth Vader was my favorite character of all, I kept one in each of my front pockets and carried the 12inch around, even kept the cape and saber forever. I’m fifty now and still wish I had kept them.
Awesome video, love it. That was the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie sticker, a lower graded PSA one can bring from 3 to 600. A Psa 9 will sell for 3-5k, and a gem mint 10 will sell for 35k.
This dude is awesome. Love seeing people share their passions with their kids and take care of things that are important to them
Nice pick up I wouldn't usually go back and pay up for profit but if these things graded hit the thousands I feel like it's just right. You could see it was not easy for him to let it all go in the video👍💯
Ure First Statement is so right.......that's why People loves u.......I want a Autogramm so bad.........😩😩😩😩......I'm Not even a collector......i Just Love ure work so much and U as a Person.........😊✌️✌️✌️✌️
Gary here from BC Canada. Thank you for All your videos. I enjoy your videos and the learning you teach. Thank you
Your content is pure gold man. Love seeing these treasures you find. Remembering the cool things I loved as a kid!
Me and the other half started watching reselling videos by accident and stumbled across you when it automatically flicked over. We’re slowly working our way through all your videos! You’re the most wholesome creator! We’ve enjoyed every second of how thoughtful, kind and brilliant you are! Keep doing you!!!
Man I’m so introverted I appreciate your approach and haggle free personality and appreciation for the game
Green 💚 Screen Living Room & Hallway!
So great to see these epic hauls. Each one is better than the last. I’m still waiting for the sold videos. You should start a what sold this week segment
What an incredible comic collection. Definitely an awesome deal. Hopefully get a grade reveal on some of these books in a future video!
Ohh look at that, casually looking over a Michael Jordan RC Sticker 😄 🤣. Congrats on a good deal overall
I've just discovered you on CZcams, I must say your enthusiasm and wonderful manner with sellers is admirable. Yours to me is the dream job,live long and prosper my friend
It's crazy what kind of items spark your memory when you go out searching. In that Star Wars shoe box was a rubber Mario jumping over a Koopa. I totally had that thing when I was a kid and keep hoping I'll stumble upon it myself someday.
Stoked for you! You have A LOT of heavy hitters in that shortbox! That last issue of MOTU Star is getting increasingly hard to find among a lot of others! Congrats man!
got the "He-Man dead" issue sgd by Erwin , he stopped signing around 2017 , vhtf
I want the alph painting and the mask were amazing this whole video was gold
Swamp thing comic too
The comics at the end had me cracked out love it
Love the videos. Always nostalgic and therapeutic. Thanks Froggy
For me being born in 1986 I know some stuff and dont know others...But it definitely brings back some nostalgia for me! Especially for the TMNT stuff since i had some as a kid. Love the videos and will be wishing you and the fam all the best!
What a sweet score!!!!Congrats Froggy 🐸. I'm so happy for you and you deserve it. You're an awesome guy! The Jason and the comics are my favorite things you bought 👍😁 Anyway, Happy New Year to you and yours!!!!! 2023 is going to be a bad ass year for you I believe!!!!!!
Very nice score. Depending on the condition, HOS or Star Wars 1 would cover the 2K+ cost. Friendly guy as well.
Loved it! I love the self control you have knowing very well how excited you were
That buy is quite exciting. I think how you handle all your buys is awesome. You are very honest, respectful and genuine fellow ❤. I certainly wish and hope you have an incredible 2023!!! Blessings to you and your family. Looking forward to the new year and all you do!
Your going to kill it at Comic Con. Happy new Year to you and your family bro looking forward to a great 2023 for the Froggy faithful
Thanks so much, happy new year!
got a 1970 OHMSS 007 Tracys car MOC & sgd by both 007 & Tracy......met both in 2005 & 2011 , holy grail of my 007 toys@@FroggyFlips
my dad passed recently and he used to have old comic books and toys he'd take out and show me as a kid. ur videos make me feel like I am back looking at his old collectables with him, so thank you for that.
Thanks for all the time, effort and videos this year. Always a pleasure to watch. Hope you are all well and safe. Happy New Year!
This was fun! You do right by your deals. Tfs and Happy New Year , Froggy!
That was so nice, thank you!
This video definitely lives up to the hype. What a wild buy to get all that at once. He's got some real gems. Glad you could end the year off so great! Looking forward to even more next year. Happy New Year, Froggy!
Awesome end of the year video!! Happy New Year and cheers to 2023! May the year be filled with more blessings and great garage sales!
Froggy, don't apologize for the length of the video because it only seemed like it was a minute or two long as I watched it! Good for you, once again showing how being fair makes the world a better place. 💚
You really scored on this video. The toys alone will put you in the positive. And then the comics, depending on condition and if you get them graded is worth thousands... Good job! I wish I could come across a box of comics like that for $1200.... 🥴
Yeah, grading is gonna be long and expensive but I think it’ll be worth it!
He will cover the 1200.00 on the House of Secrets alone if he decides to sell at Comic Con
@@dusty52267 He definitely made a killing! :)
im gonna sell Batman 181 but i dont think ive patience with grading , takes too long time imo@@FroggyFlips
🐸 Your literally my inspiration to start my reselling business. All I’m waiting on is my label printer then I’m ganna start listing! Already have 2 closets full of unopened toys ready to list. I’m an overnight manager at Walmart so I get clearance before the rest of the crowd! So excited to see what the future brings!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR SCORE HERE!
Very cool, best of luck to ya!
how has it went?
You're a cool guy. Really nice, made really sure he was cool with the deal, and then gave him extra just because you're that nice.
You deserve all the best man. You’re so nice and genuine. Hope nothing but success this new year
I love it when your new videos appear because you remind me of what collecting/reselling is all about. You need to have a passion for the collectibles and a real understanding of your audience and you have both. I also feel like I am watching the channel of a friend so Happy New Year, Anthony, and all the best with your exciting new plans for 2023! timtherobotguy
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Happy new year!
I wish i could buy some of the awesome stuff you find! Happy New Year Anthony so glad I found your channel earlier this year! 😃
Thanks so much!
Wow. Those comics were a great, great deal. So jealous!
nice touch. as i was thinking keep the gift from mum. great video
Double check that Darth Vader to see if it has a ‘telescopic light saber’. If it is you may want to recheck that pricing.
Happy New Year mate! ✌🏻🇦🇺
Obviously not cause its on a ROTJ Card
It's a good day when Froggy Flips uploads!
Love that you called your business an adventure, and stressed how much you value treated customers fairly and respectfully and gracefully. That's such a good mindset for anyone to have, both about the way one makes a living and about the way one exists as a human in society. If only those who run and work in big corporate businesses had the same!
Happy New Year to the whole Froggy family and all the best for the coming year(s) and the new challenges ahead! ✌😁🙏
This dude inspires me to want to film my little thrift/flea market adventures! Love your content man!
Thanks so much!
wish you picked up the jordan, thats his rookie sticker! very desirable
Haha, had to get the deal done 😂👍
@@FroggyFlips I respect it! That’s my soft spot though! Haha
Awesome!! Great fast build!! You make it look so effortless
What a way to end 2023!! Congratulations on your great finds.
That comic haul is insanity! So many heavy hitters.
fastest click of the west
Hahah appreciate it!
@@FroggyFlips yes man, never stop!
Another great example of vintage toys and comics Anthony!
Been following you for a while now, enjoy the content and all the
Amazing things you find.
You do show a lot of respect to your community when you pay up
And I respect that.
Keep em comin y’all 🤘🏽🇺🇸
Wow what a awesome collection of comics and other awesome items. I love the cabbage patch dolls, the popples and rainbow bright, as I had all those as a child.
We love watching your videos. Looking forward to many more in 2023. Happy New year Froggy and family.
Can I ask a real question? Why did he let you take everything for an absolute steal if he knew the value of what he had was much greater? Genuinely curious
Sometimes you just grow out of it or just not into a hobby anymore. If your really into Buying, selling , trading collectibles, your likely doing it as a full time hobby or as a business which takes up alot of your attention/time otherwise it becomes a bunch of junk that keeps taking up space in your home. The fella here even refered to it as junk.
Priorities change and in the end they are collectibles, not precious gems. They may not have value to you anymore but they may be valuable to someone else so its not a huge deal to just get rid of it, take what money you can and let someone else enjoy it then maybe he uses that money to invest in somethjng else that he sees more value in. Notice though, he did not part with some things becuase they had sentimental value, they were the things he and his son shared. Not saying This is what happened here but maybe?
It takes a lot of time and effort to sell things for anywhere near the going rate. Like months if not years of effort for all that stuff. Sometimes life smacks you across the face and forces your priorities to change and you may not have the ability to invest all that time into selling it all individually to get the most from it.
im not even in this space, but i love seeing all the older toys u find! brings me back to my younger years and u are a treat to watch man!
Best channel for going down memory lane. I had so many of these toys and comics. Thank you for sharing, really brings back some great memories of my childhood.
Love Watching!!!and Your Ideas!! Thank You!!
Bro you insisted on giving him an extra $200… that is what sets you apart and why I and so many love your channel!… Thanks for being such a GOAT.🥺👍
I'm going through the same thing with my lifelong collection of sports cards, comics and record albums (all from the 60s and 70s). Been selling them off for the last three years, still got a ways to go.
Absolutely it will not impact on a negative side....
Im a hobby re-seller, and just like to flip stuff like dvd's, vintage toys, books, (video) games, and sometimes music gear.
In my league its more of a hobby and I just like thrifting, finding stuff that another person might like and most of the stuff I sell with just a small profit margin. Only rarely do I stumble upon something I can make a bigger profit on, but even then I nearly always sell under the current online market price.
I like flipping, not sitting on a pile of ....stuff....
What an incredible haul. Great finds there. You went from only 2 items to getting like 200+ items. lol.
Great finds. When I was younger for a long time I collected Star Trek and STTNG stuff. Had the dolls, bought every comic, paperback and magazine. Wish I had held on to em. My brother had a phaser and communicator with belt in the 70s and remember Max Machine with a clicker. Happy New Year
WoW! Just wow! That is an awesome and amazing haul! There some books I saw that I would love to own! Love your videos!
Beautiful comic finds! The secret wars 8 is one of my favorites! The first appearance of swamp thing and Deadpool is a nice pickup! Great haul
The world would be a much better place if everyone was just half as honest as you.
Well I appreciate the kind words!
What an awesome chap. 😊great video. Thank you so much.
Super excited watching your excitement! Have fun culling what to keep/display and sell😊
Nice of you not to haggle when you hear a good price
Popples! I had them as a kid. Loved them! Great video and happy new year
Good dude froggy, very nice and friendly.... who wouldnt want to trade and deal with a man like you?
Please keep making these videos. I love to see your passion for what you are collecting. I had that same passion when I used to collect my baseball cards. I have learned quite a bit of knowledge on a vast array of toys and collectibles from you. Even if you overpay by a little just think of the new connections you might get from some of his collector friends. That being said have a Happy New Year .
Man I wish I could find this stuff. I love old toys. Love watching these!
That’s the exact Nintendo box I’m looking for, so clean!
You pushed me to start my journey of collecting and now have hundreds of things from the 20s to the 2000s appreciate all your content🙌🏽 Love it🔥
You deserve finding scores like this. Kindness wins!
Thank you!
This was such a fun video for me. I had one of those Krusher Lizard guys as a kid. I have, right now, some of those comics. I'm slowly listing my comics. Bought them new back in the 90s and before. They've been boxed up ever since. Finally, time to move them along
Loved this video! So so interesting, thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to you
