- Join me as I unbox my new TMNT CGC slabs from ComicConnect! I got totally screwed because I purchased a #2 and it turned out that they didn't have it in hand and it wasn't until almost 2 months later that they refunded me. The seller mysteriously never came through. With my money tied up that long, I'm now pretty much priced out from buying the book because it's doubled in value. Something to be aware of if buying a hot book from ComicConnect, you may want to check that they are at least in communications with the seller if it's a book they don't have in hand. Note: all of their auction items are in hand, it's just the buy it now books that may not be in hand. Some are, some aren't, and as of right now there is no way to differentiate on the website which books they have in hand and which they don't.

Recently I got hit by the FOMO bug, BAD! Someone posted some TMNT on IG and I kept seeing TMNT 1 hit the hot 10 list and I wanted to get in before it was too late. We talk about FOMO a lot on this channel, and FOMO is the Fear of Missing out. Sometimes it can serve you well and sometimes it can do you dirty. This is another example of it serving me well because since I’ve bought these books they’ve doubled in price. TMNT 1 continues to shatter records, the most recent sale was for a 9.2 which sold for 28,800 almost triple the previous sale two months earlier of 11,500. A 9.4 sold for 36,000, up from 17,000 on the previous sale, more than double in one sale increment. Anyways, I decided that I wanted to collect all the Mono color cover of TMNT, Issue 1,2,3,4, I just really like the nostalgia and history of it, I think it’s so cool that these books originally had monocolor covers probably to save on printing costs and now they are bonafide investments! Now FOMO was telling me that I should jump on a 2nd or 3rd print of TMNT a couple of months ago when it first starting hitting the hot 10 list but I didn’t. And that’s an example of FOMO trying to serve me well but I got in the way! Now I’m just way too scared to make the leap. With sales that high over FMV it’s just too scary to take the leap on an issue #1. For now I’ll just be happy with my issues 2,3,4, although I will be looking for opportunities to upgrade these...

That TMNT book is amazing! Sorry that bad experience happened to you. I never gave thought of the downside of an exchange. Thanks for always providing awesome information! 👍🤙
Thanks man...do you use exchanges ever when buying larger books?
@@BrysComics There is a couple times I've used exchange but not for bigger books. Hit me up on IG and i can recommend some sellers that I've used for big books.
Nice =). I started going a bit crazy with TMNT purchases about 4-5 months ago when prices started jumping. I basically had the same thought as you and started grabbing the early issues (1-4 and Raphael). I think I’ve done 3 unboxing videos with them now =). Fun books to get.
I’ll go check them out!
dude your nearly at 2k subs, man your gains are massive! congrats!
🙏🏻 many thanks to you and everyone!
" give a thumbs down if you suck at life ", at home working on my comic book room had to stop and fall over laughing. Great video, found you through Skeff's Comic Knowledge. I am not a Ninja Turtles fan, but I am on board for the current run and I am enjoying the story, the art, and the excitement of it all. Hope your next purchase goes smooth.
LOL thanks bro!
I know it's crazy but I LOVE TMNT 1 4th print - first Shredder on Cover, and first Turtles in color on cover. I wouldn't mind a 3rd print, but dang the 4th has some cool stuff going for it.
Agreed! I wish I would have got in on it sooner...
Great Vid! Love the Turtles! I want to spend that wheel!!
Catching your videos on the rewind! Love the stuff you put out.
I thought they didn't have any books on site. I am waiting on an order from the 24th of January. I hope they took action against the seller who never shipped the book you bought. That is total BS.
That is so Poor Customer Service(C.S.)....Reminds me of sending a book 8.5 CGC and I wanted to get it pressed/graded as I thought it would get a bump....I got it back after 4 months as a 8.0....I said WTF...C.S. said "They, think this book was a 8 and did not honor the prior CGC 8.5 even though I did CCS/CGC....Complete B.S.!
Man that is so disappointing!
ComicConnect is really good overall. The pricing is possibly the best. However, sometimes things can be slow due to the reasons you mentioned.
Agreed. And in some cases like this that can really screw ya over...
Appreciate that you're ready to spotlight the good and bad moments in the hobby -- thanks for being honest
I felt the stress level in your story. Wow! It sounds like that woman was reading a scripted response but it's understandable in these times. Thanks for sharing. I don't have an Instagram account but you are tempting me to get one.
You totally should the comic community there is amazing!
This is the third video I have seen people complain about Comic Connect and I don't watch many videos.
Wow, they took a little over 3 weeks for me, and I thought that was bad.
Great books. Easily some of my favorites. In a manner of speaking, worth the wait. Still sucks about #2. And FYI, the #1's almost look exactly the same. On the cover of the third printing, the second "T" in Turtles has extra blood on it that's not on the first two printing. Just a little fun fact. Stay safe everyone..... 👍
I didn’t know that! Thanks!
That was my TMNT #2 and I didn't want to sell to Comic Guy Bry lool. Man I hate shady comic dealers. We all risk selling too low sometimes.
That would have been hilarious!
Also, they shouldn't charge you until the books are shipped.
Great content, as usual. Thank you for allowing us to learn from your experiences/mistakes. You rock!
I live in New York and the pandemic has not slowed things that much !!
Nothing makes my blood boil more then sellers who issue refunds because a book has climbed in price. I’m dealing with a seller now on some books I bought back in October. There not even big key books. I’ve been playing nice so I can get them but once I do I’m putting him in blast to warn others.
Can't wait for the spin the wheel promotion. I was in the first one and it was really fun!
I've used CC a few times; one time I never got the comic, assumed it was porch piracy and got a credit for it but it took months to resolve. Another time sent me a high grade book that turned out to have an ad clipped out from one page and had to return it. Other times it was ok. It's hit or miss.
I would have been furious. With this horror story I will never use this company. 👎🏽 BTW I ordered a comic from Brys store and I received a notification that the book was being shipped out the next day. And that’s what’s up in terms of giving good customer service.
Thanks for the support! I wouldn’t rule them out completely because you can find some rare stuff...just be aware of the whole shenanigans
I had a similar issue with Comic Connect. I spent a lot of money and no sign of my books being shipped. However, one of the owners got wind of my issues that I was very public about snd reached out to me. After explaining my issues he got it taken care of right away.
Ooooh, I understand delays happen, COVID-19 pandemic or not, this is awful customer service. I have your kind of patience. I've waited 2 months for orders where they'd go through this exchange program. "We don't have the comic book in stock. We're waiting on the comic book that we ordered from another retailer." Will avoid ComicConnect like the plague. The fact that you had to go hunting for those books afterward and prices doubled in the 100s.. Not cool.
awesome work mate
Brian, I'm not a fan of Comic Connect.
That sucks. I haven’t used them before, have you ever had a similar experience? Makes me wonder about using them to be honest.
As an aside, I’ve got a mid-grade 3rd printing TMNT First issue I’m about to send off to CGC. Wish me luck.
My other experiences have been pretty good but all items that they had in stock...GL on that #1!!
They really need to work in that large slab design...
Damn that sucks your money was tied up so long. That’s brutal
I am definitely reticent to order from them...not the first time I've heard this tale of woe. Sorry to hear about that! On another note...I am a big fan of TMNT #1 Fifth printing with the beautiful red wraparound cover...still fairly affordable and is 🔥
🔥
Great TMNT books! Thanks for the show.
That’s definitely what happened buddy! Sorry. I’m enter the spin the wheel promotion 👍
fantastic turtles books
That story is insane man
That TMNT 3 is sick
Ok, multiple copies nice
TMNT 4 wow
Jeez multiple copies of everything
Man that green screen background is playing with my eyes lol 😂
i will NEVER sell my TMNT 1 2 3 4!. all SS CGC.
Great books, too bad i never won a thing on instagram and youtube! I participate in everything i can, oh well thats life!
It’s only a matter of time...
yea their shipping blows
id be pissed... and the covid excuse is getting old with every company using it
That is the old run around !!!
Turtle 🐢🔥🔥 time !
Not a fan of Comic Connect and Metropolis ..they have the worst shipping department. They have a great product but for heaven sake work on your shipping department. I call bullshit on the pandemic excuse. I have had the same experience with them prior to the pandemic. Her name is Kiera and she uses the same exact lines with me. Your not alone...
Comic collecting nightmares lol
Sux you didn't get you're comic,,
That's bad business.
Big F’in deal !!
Sup bro 🖖🏼
We invaded Iraq faster
They take well over a month to ship.
Can’t stand the buyers premium as well. Soon they’ll be out of business thanks to Instagram, whatnot and myslabs
