Ya I've told a few others about it, pretty good for a 30 minute TV show. That also participates in trying to get a trade from the collector at the end of the show!

Also, last week was a movie props collector.... I really enjoy this sow!

I want my metv.   My Dish network discontinued it a few months ago and it seems like it is not coming back.

[Telegan]

All I can say is, "Wow, so that's what Blair's up to."  Would've never guessed.

How do I watch this in canada any links? 

[ADAMANTIUM]

That was tough to watch with the mindset of fellow boardies watching.

Spoiler

The proposal trade was movie theater advertisements from the original King Kong for a 1.5 or low grade af 15

I agree to not make that trade, but the guy did show off a famous monsters mag. Was still hard to watch with an open mind towards it though

And the books in his store were nothing special other than what he showed off, mostly a store selling moderns so to speak, although he did show off action comics and etc those were probably from home. A good show but showed out in perspective when it's a subject that I know something about. Af 15 cgc 4.0 valued at $60,000 I wonder if that is the value from a year ago?

I know there is a thread in the movie part of the forum and that @MGsimba77 watches, but weve never generated enough interest to keep the thread going, will be interesting to see others feedback  🤠

That “expert” was no expert. Fun show though and Blair looks great!

Saw the show.

Always fun to see other collections. I don’t know how great it really is though. The average person now figures their moderns are worth a bundle and just gives bad people ideas. But comics are one of just a handful of collecting categories that are still actually slightly increasing or at least holding their value in general.

The collector seemed genuine and really loved the characters and books. But he was really hedgy when Lisa kept pushing him to say what he paid for his books. I wouldn’t have told her either. Never heard of either the collector or the “expert”.

Frankly, I can never understand why people would go on camera and show off their stuff quoting big prices. Now, everybody knows his store, what’s in it, and that it is “valuable”. 

I wouldn’t have done the trade either. Like the collector, and as cool as the Kong piece was, I don’t really collect that stuff and don’t know enough to part with an AF 15 for it.

We watch the show every Sunday night. I was commenting a few weeks ago that I wonder how long it will be until they feature comics…

I think Lisa would be horrified looking at my collection of PCH, Crime and Pulps…

There have been some real good episodes and some real stinkers like the Barbie one.

I really enjoy seeing well curated collections of pretty much anything. The stories of the hunt and the dedication appeal to me. Although sometimes they have a lot of junk filler.

One of my friends had a museum quality collection of “Tribal Art”. Not my thing or something I would normally pay much attention to, but amazing pieces and everything had a story.

Last week was a Houdini collection. Truly amazing stuff.

Oh ya that was a good trade, the houdini locks.

I like hearing about the well courated collection, the back story and details, then seeing if I'd make the trade at the end.

This episode with comics was a little too on the nose, with a random rare famous monsters, that was the only thing hinted towards what he wanted to trade in subject matter

I hope most episodes aren't done that way, or it seems like she usually says,  'we've gone through to see what you are 'needing' in trade!?!"

The comics was nothing to do with comics, just king Kong movie memorabilia, like the famous monsters mag shown for whatever reason. Idk. A little too on the nose?

Every episode involves a "Trade" sometimes it goes through but more often than not it doesn't. It always get's Lisa excited...

This guy, like a lot of collectors is into a lot of semi related things in addition to comics. That FM mag is very memorable to him like MAD mag #72 is to me. In my case, collecting just kept on rolling to a lot of things.

That Mickey Mouse Waddle Book is a great piece but the expert was WAY off value wise. I have an unpunched one and as cool as it is, I would flip it in a moment for 5 grand. 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Amen! And Lisa does have a happy personality that's easily contagious!
