Ken, CT November 2024

Ken was an avid comic book fan since childhood. Like many baby-boomers, he saved his collection and moved it from place to place as he grew in success, and age. At some point, inevitably, most of us realize our kids really have no interest in things “offline”. Video games, Tik Toc, and instant gratification have replaced the beauty of things like Comics. Ken called Mike and quickly struck a mutually beneficial deal! Highlights include: Hulk 180,181; Hulk 2,3,4,6; a nice clean run of Tales to Astonish and about 4500 other comics!

Paul, NY November 2024

Up in the sky, taller than the tallest building, look, it’s a bird, a plane, its Paul’s amazing Superman collection! A complete run from #2 to #150! One of the nicest runs we’ve ever had, including several graded issues. It’s not often you find Golden Age collections like this and we’re always happy to pay Top Dollar when they show up.

Niels, FL November 2024

Niels is a HUGE John Byrne fan! So big his 4500+ comic collection was almost exclusively comprised of issues that Byrne did art for. He also had a gorgeous Amazing Spider-Man 129 graded 9.6, and a New Mutants 98 graded 9.8. Even better were the 50+ pages of John Byrne Original published comic art! Including a She-Hulk cover and two other covers! Mike flew out to meet Niels, and after thanking him for his service (he’s a Police Officer) they quickly came to an agreement that made everyone very happy!

Bennett, NY November 2024

Bennett called Mike a couple years ago to appraise his and his father Sy’s lifelong comic collection of nearly 23,000 issues. Most of the collection, which spans from 1940s to 1980s of mostly high grade comics. More Key issues than we could possibly list here. Mike helped them, and last week they called him and said they were ready to part with them and trusted Mike to pay them a very strong fair price! 4 workers helped load the truck and 4 hours later they drove back to his store. Some of the keys include; Hulk 181, (2) Marvel Spotlight 5, Fantastic Four 48-50, early issues of Spider-Man, X-Men, tons of Golden Age goodies and literally 100s and 100s of gradeable comics!

We make every effort to accommodate our client’s needs. If you need to move fast, we can usually complete a transaction in a day or two.

Andy, CT July 2024

Andy was moving and didn’t want to take his collection with him. He shopped it with a number of dealers, and we came in with the high bid.

Jim said he was vey happy with the offer and smiled all the way to his bank.

Rich contacted us about his amazing collection on a Monday afternoon. By Monday evening, we had a deal. On Saturday, Mike flew out to Chicago to meet Rich at the National to make the exchange. Rich had some very high end graded cards like a 1948 Leaf Ruth PSA 7, 1957 Topps Mays PSA 8, 1966 Topps Mantle PSA 8.5 and many others. As the picture indicates, another happy client.

Andro, NJ July 2023

Andro collected comics since he was a kid growing up in the Philippines. He saw our ad online and called Mike who made an appointment to do a house call the very next day!  Andro’s collection included roughly 1200 comics, and included both raw Keys, and graded comics.  The highlight was a Giant Size X-Men #1 CGC 5.0 SS by Chris Clairemont, but had a ton of Silver and Bronze age minor keys as well. In discussing his collection, Andro mentioned he had some Michael Jordan RC, and some Star Wars Vintage Toys, we came to a quick agreement, handed him a check for $58,500 and made Andro one happy family man!

Bo, NJ August 2023

Bo owns a small luncheonette that harkens back to one’s you might have sat down for a coffee at in the 1940s and 50s.  He was referred to Mike by another dealer who knows we pay the most (by far) and treat people with the utmost respect.  Bo’s collection was over 10,000 comics, and was mainly Silver and Bronze Age comics.  While the collection didn’t have many huge keys, it did have many minor ones, and tons of nice Silver age Marvel comics, including (94) CGC Graded comics! Mike went through everything carefully and after a short negotiation, Mike packed up a mini-van and drove off with the entire collection! 

Allen, IL April 2023

When we talk about original equipment, Allen comes to mind. All of Allen’s collection consists of cards from packs he opened as a kid. From 1951 Bowmans to 1954 Red Mans. He put these away in the back of a toy truck and there they sat for 70 years. Since much of his collection was high value, we suggested he grade some of his cards to get maximum value. We walked Allen through the SGC submission form and he was off to the races.

Harvey, NY March 2023

Harvey called us with a few high value items. A Babe Ruth autograph ball and a Namath Rookie graded PSA 8. Mike hit the road with some cash and bank checks and made Harvey’s day.

Rick, Tampa Feb 2023

Rick contacted us about his collection of high value 33 Goudey’s. We advised him to grade the Ruth’s and the Gehrigs before we made an offer to maximize his value. He did and was very pleasantly surprised by the graded and our offer. Mike made a quick trip to FL to make the deal

Jason, FL Feb 2023

Jason had a nice collection of graded cards. Over 2000. Mike hopped on a plane and made a trio of deals in FL. Day one in Tampa, Day two in Daytona and Day three in West Palm Beach. This is how he earns his title The Road Warrior.

Keith, Philly November 2022

Mike took a trip to meet our new friend. Keith, who sold us an awesome 1966 and 1971 Topps Baseball Registry Set PLUS a run of Baseball sets from 1964 to 1980 many very high grade.  

 Just another stop on our buying frenzy to end what’s been an amazing year for us and our clients as we spent Millions buying all across the Country!  

 In 2023 we’ll be back on the road spending even more!  Stay safe and healthy in 2023

John, Chicago October 2022

John found a stack of musty cards buried in an attic in a house he was cleaning out.  He had idea what they were or if they had any value.  He called Mike and we went through every card he found – they were our favorites T206 and T205 cards!  A nice stack of roughly 130! 

At first glance condition was pretty poor to fair with a few maybe VG, didn’t seem like anything spectacular…until we turned them over and saw some of the rare backs!  Lenox, Broad Leaf, El Principal De Gales…Wowsa!  Mike appraised the collection at $20,000 and made his way to Chicago with a wad of $15,000.  To say John was happy is an understatement, he had contacted at least a half dozen buyers and the next highest offer was about 40% less he said! 

Bill, October 2022

Picked up an amazing assortment of sets, player card assortments (binders full of up to 100s of the same star player) that started in 1952.  Mikes first trip to IN was well worth it for us and the wonderful Brother’s family, both retired school teachers, this was Bills life long collection.  Mike flew to IN and carefully went through every card to make sure we valued the collection appropriately. After two days we loaded up and headed home!  Great people are harder to find then great collections it’s amazing when we find both!  One of the best perks for us is helping the awesome people we meet doing this! 

Dan, NYC August 2022

THIS is what makes our job so much fun!  We get to meet GREAT people like Dan G. who called us with an incredible collection featuring THE Holy Grail of card collecting – a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie. There were some other goodies as well, like a 1936 R312 Joe DiMaggio Rookie, a 1939 Playball Ted Williams Rookie, a 1939 Playball Joe DiMaggio Rookie and so much more!  Mike did the house call after working with Dan to ensure we paid the highest amount possible.  Mike met Dan for bagels in the morning before going carefully through each and every card Dan collected over the last 40+ years!  Meet great people, treasure hunt with them through TONS of Key Rookies and other vintage cards & share a bagel and lox breakfast?  Life is good!  Thanks, Dan!  

David, FL July 2022

Anyone who collects sports cards knows about the T206 Honus Wagner card which recently sold for a record $7+ MIllion dollars recently!  T206 cards are the gold standard for turn of the century baseball cards, finding them in small groups is hard enough, but when David called us with over 1000+ including over 150 Hall of Famers, and 60 of the rare Old Mill backed Southern Leaguers our jaws literally dropped! (16) Ty Cobb Rookies, (7) Cy Youngs. (16) Nap LaJoie’s many in High Grade?  Wowsa! But, since the cards were a gift from his grandfather, David was reticent to part with them…but after working with us for a few months, he felt comfortable the cards were going to a good home. The big fat payment we provided helped move him along. David had shopped the cards to a number of dealers, we not only offered the most (by far according to David), we offered more than he expected.

Rory, CA June 2022

Rory had a nice collection of Tobacco cards. About 200 graded and 200 raw. Some high end players like Cobb, Johnson, Joss, Lajoie, Young and Mathewson. He contacted a number of dealers and had some unusual responses. One company asked him to send all the cards to them upfront and they would then make an offer. Another asked for pics of all 200 graded cards. Several didn’t respond. After considering the offers, Rory went with ours. We paid him, in full, with certified funds. The cards didn’t leave his hands until he got paid.

Tom and his sons collected for over 50 years and had one of the largest amounts of vintage Football sets we’ve ever seen!  Dozens of sets starting in the 1930s and ending in 2019! From National Chicle cards to Mahommes and everything in between! Off grade T206 cards and dozens of partial sets starting 1948 Bowman. 10,000s of auto and Relic cards. The collection took over a dozen truckload trips. Mike worked tirelessly to help Tom maximize value. We paid Tom over $300,000 – easily exceeding what Tom expected.

“Mike is a special man.  My family and I are so grateful we found him.  I can’t speak higher about his honesty, integrity and thoroughness.  Mike treated our family collection as though it was his own.  We are so grateful we found him!”  Tom O.

Mike and his assistant left at 5A, spent more than 6 hours working though a huge quantity of cards high quality Hockey and Basketball cards. We had completed a deal on the graded cards the day before so they could concentrate on the raw ones. Mike handed Eric a bank check, loaded up the truck and headed home.
