00:10Danny D, what's up?
00:11Good morning.
00:12How are the Wolf Boys doing today?
00:14Doing good, doing good.
00:15Oh my gosh, man.
00:16I have had so much coffee.
00:19Ooh, I love that for you.
00:20It sounds like you're ready for a challenge then.
00:22A challenge?
00:23I'm up for a challenge always.
00:24What do you got for us?
00:25Okay, I want to preface this by saying that the largest catalyst for growth is being
00:29outside of your comfort zone.
00:32Okay, I'm not doing that again, Danny.
00:34No fluff, puff, puff things, right?
00:36What are you talking about?
00:36Robbie, listen.
00:38Fan dancing has no gender.
00:40Fan dancing knows no boundaries.
00:42Fan dancing is for everyone, especially you, Robbie.
00:45You are a natural.
00:46We're not doing that today, okay?
00:47No, no, no, no, no.
00:48No fan dancing today.
00:49What do you got?
00:50All right, I'm going to send you guys on a pop culture pic.
00:5360s, 70s, maybe a little bit into the 80s.
00:55Oh, my time period.
00:57Exactly.
00:58That's the fun of it.
00:59It's nostalgia.
01:00What kind of stuff are you talking about?
01:02Now, Brent is a collector himself, but he also inherited his cousin's house.
01:06And he's got his cousin's and his brother's collection in there.
01:09So you're going to have three different family collections under one roof.
01:13Really?
01:13All right.
01:14Hit us with the address.
01:15You guys have fun.
01:16I'll see you soon.
01:17All right, talk to you soon.
01:28Right here.
01:29He's got the garage door open already.
01:31Check him out.
01:32There's the car, man.
01:33Get a flyer.
01:33Hey, you Brent.
01:35Yes, I am.
01:36How you doing, buddy?
01:36I'm Mike.
01:37Hey, Mike.
01:38Nice to meet you.
01:38That's my brother, Robbie.
01:39How you doing?
01:40I collect vintage 1960s Beatles memorabilia because of my brother.
01:46He got me interested in them before they even came to America.
01:50I see a Fastback.
01:52Mustangs.
01:52Yeah.
01:53That's my car.
01:54The first car I ever had.
01:54First car you ever bought?
01:55It is.
01:56It's got the look.
01:57February of 1971.
01:59I worked all summer to earn money for a car because I didn't have a car.
02:02And I was getting ready to be a senior.
02:04And no car.
02:05And all my friends had cars.
02:06How much was this?
02:08$475.
02:09Wow.
02:09But I'd only save $400.
02:10My mom said that if I'd never smoked, you know, that she knew of, that she would kick in there.
02:17$75.
02:191965 Ford Mustang releases the first Fastback in America.
02:23The car looks like it's going fast standing still.
02:25So what's the plan with this thing?
02:27Well, it's got a lot of sentiment with it.
02:29Oh, I'm sure.
02:29Yeah.
02:30It's a first date in the car.
02:32Married my wife and we had our honeymoon in this car.
02:35Oh, no.
02:35Not in the car, but, you know.
02:36Did you have, like, the just married on the car and stuff?
02:39You did?
02:40And the streamers and everything.
02:41Oh, my gosh.
02:41So it's going to be hard to part with.
02:43I'm sure, yeah.
02:44I listened to any offers.
02:45When it's in the garage and not getting any use and it's covered up with boxes, I kept
02:49thinking, if Mike and Robbie can give me a good deal, I might just sell it.
02:54It looks like a big Hot Wheel car.
02:56When we first got there, I thought Brent was going to sell us the car.
02:58But after we got it outside, I could see the sparkle in his eye.
03:02Dude, it's cool.
03:03It's got the look.
03:04Even though the grabber blue paint job has faded, when I saw those wheels and those white
03:09leather tires and the fact that I put that extra leaf spring in the back and jacked it
03:13up a little bit, nah, I can't get rid of it.
03:16Trust me.
03:16I get that.
03:17When we pulled it out of the garage, I was like, he ain't selling this car.
03:20The guy owned this car since he was 16 years old.
03:24The car needs to stay with Brent.
03:25There's a lot of other stuff we can look at.
03:27All right.
03:27A lot of record albums in here.
03:29Oh, yeah.
03:29I see that now.
03:30I'm a vinyl man.
03:31I love records.
03:32All that on the right-hand side is country.
03:35On the left side is all pop and rock.
03:37The hip-hop albums over there.
03:38Wow.
03:39It's in alphabetical order.
03:40You did that?
03:41I'm OCD and I have to do it.
03:43Really?
03:44Yeah.
03:44That's awesome, man.
03:45It makes me so happy to know I can go right to a box and pull out Sly and the
03:49Family
03:49Stone.
03:50Where's the 70s and 80s rock?
03:51Right there to your right.
03:52The great thing about albums is they're visually stimulating.
03:56The artwork, the photographs.
03:59So here's some cross-pollination.
04:00You got Sly and the Family Stone, Santana, and then you've got country.
04:04Gotta think Foreigner put out that many albums.
04:06Holy cow.
04:06Brent is a record collector.
04:08If he owns anything that's incredibly rare, that's in super good condition, it wouldn't
04:14be in this garage.
04:15You know, he would covet it.
04:16There's still some gems in here, I'm sure.
04:19Now, I've got some that are sealed, but I've got some that you probably wouldn't even
04:22want to put on a turntable.
04:23It's a mixed bag.
04:24These albums have been in this garage for a very long time, and with the temperature
04:27change and the boxes around them that are kind of giving way, so some of these look like
04:31they've gotten wet, and a lot of them, they're not even in a sleeve.
04:35What would this be worth if it wasn't trashed?
04:37Oh, gosh.
04:38Probably a hundred bucks.
04:40No kidding.
04:40At the end of the day, if somebody can't play the record, then they're taking the cover
04:44and they're plastering out a wall.
04:45The first record I ever bought was She Loves You, because my brother Robert didn't have
04:51any money, and I just happened to have a dollar.
04:53He started buying all the other records, because eventually he was making money.
04:56Was he older than you?
04:58Yeah, eight years old.
04:59Okay.
04:59And all I could afford, you know, with my salary, which was picking up pop bottles and
05:04getting 10 cents, you know, here and there, all I could do was buy the bubblegum cards.
05:09Between him and Ricky buying all these records and getting me interested in it, and then
05:12as an adult, continuing that, because my brother Robert was my hero.
05:17He protected me on the bus.
05:19You know, I was in the second grade, and he was in the 10th when we rode the bus together,
05:23and anybody messed with me, by golly, they had to deal with Russ.
05:27He was my protector, my friend.
05:30He passed away in 2019.
05:33Okay.
05:34And Ricky, my cousin, the year before.
05:36Oh, wow.
05:37So I'm the only one that's left.
05:38Okay.
05:39So when they both passed, did you get both of their collections?
05:43Yeah.
05:43Okay.
05:43And was it mainly vinyl?
05:45Yeah, and eight tracks.
05:47Okay.
05:47These are his records, his cousin's records, his brother's records.
05:52There's a huge sentimental attachment to all of this.
05:56Here's a whole box of Dylan.
05:59This is all Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan.
06:04Oh, my gosh.
06:05Look at all these.
06:05These are all the same.
06:06The reason I got all of those was for the poster.
06:09Okay.
06:10The psychedelic poster in the Bob Dylan Greatest Hits album.
06:13Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits album.
06:15In it, a lot of people don't realize, is a psychedelic painting of him.
06:19It's very cool, and it's much more valuable than the record.
06:22So anytime I would find that album, I would look in there, see if it had a poster,
06:27and then when I got it home, take the poster out, put the Dylan in the box, and there it
06:32would stay.
06:33But the poster I would keep.
06:34It's still in there?
06:35I haven't seen any of those.
06:36Oh, you took them all out?
06:37I already got them out.
06:37I'm looking for the same exact thing that Brent was, that poster.
06:41And obviously, he found them all first.
06:43All right, so how much for all the Dylan?
06:45A hundred bucks for the whole thing.
06:47All right, I'm doing it.
06:49I'm doing it.
06:50I'm in the Bob Dylan business.
06:52Everything in here is from his childhood, his cousin's childhood, his brother's childhood.
06:58What's going on with this thing?
06:59The aura, the vibe, the energy, whatever you want to call it, is like vacuum-sealed in this space.
07:06Fifteen bucks.
07:07You got it.
07:08All right, man.
07:09And Brent is like father time.
07:11Oh, you got some cassettes too, man.
07:13All this stuff's hot now.
07:14The next generation coming up, new dealers.
07:17They're not called antique shops anymore.
07:18They're called vintage shops.
07:20People are buying cassettes again.
07:21The stuff that they're looking for is stuff that I had when I was a kid.
07:24Eight tracks, cassettes, all this vintage clothing, these really cool t-shirts from 1990, 1980s.
07:32You know, I'm like, wow, man, I still have that.
07:34That's worth 200 bucks.
07:36Looks like there's like 20 of them here.
07:37How about a buck a piece?
07:39Okay.
07:40All right, 20 bucks.
07:4020 bucks.
07:41Very cool.
07:42So, you know, I used to walk past eight tracks, cassettes, some vintage clothing.
07:46Never again, all this stuff is boiling to the top in these vintage shops.
07:52Here's the eight tracks.
07:53Look at that.
07:53Oh, that's some really good stuff.
07:55All of those were Ricky's, my cousin.
07:56Oh, really?
07:57These were all his?
07:57Yeah.
07:58Opening Ricky's eight track box is really getting a peek into kind of who he was as a person.
08:04Five man electrical band.
08:05He had strange taste.
08:06Oh, look at that.
08:07Iron Butterfly Live.
08:09Getting to know somebody through music is a really, really cool vibe.
08:14This has his name on it.
08:16Why do you want to sell this?
08:17Because I never liked eight tracks.
08:19Eight tracks, good night.
08:21I had one in my car for sure, but why?
08:25I mean, what are you thinking on this stuff?
08:26Two bucks a piece.
08:2744 tapes, two bucks a piece, 88 bucks.
08:30We'll do it.
08:31Okay, I'll do it all.
08:32Why don't we go inside?
08:33I got some stuff in there you might like.
08:34Okay, cool.
08:35What year is the house built?
08:371949.
08:38Oh, nice.
08:39Wow.
08:39This is cool, man.
08:40This was your cousin's house?
08:42Yep.
08:42When I inherited Ricky's house, it was a mess, and it took me forever just to get it to where
08:49I could function in it and try to organize things.
08:52This Green Ghost game over here.
08:54I remember that when I was a kid, man.
08:56It glows in the dark.
08:57I had older friends of mine, brothers that had this game.
09:01When we were kids, we had toys that could hurt you physically and mentally.
09:06They could either scare the hell out of you, or they could burn you.
09:09Like creepy crawlers, where you're pouring hot rubber liquid into a mold, or an easy-bake
09:14oven.
09:14There were things called jarts, where we would actually throw metal missiles at each other.
09:20Basically, it was like horseshoes, but with a spear.
09:22We were entertained in a completely different and dangerous way.
09:26What year is this?
09:27About 65, I'd say.
09:2866, maybe.
09:29When I was in the sixth grade, I begged and begged for that Green Ghost game.
09:34They had it advertised on TV, and it glowed in the dark.
09:37Gosh, you could play it in the dark.
09:39Who wouldn't want that?
09:40Here's the Green Ghost.
09:42Twisted around.
09:43And instead, I got a little slot car racers and some chocolate-covered cherries and stuff
09:49like that.
09:50So I took all my Christmas card money and went to Woolworths and bought that Green Ghost
09:54game.
09:55And boy, was I in trouble when I got home.
09:58So this is all the other game pieces in there.
10:01You got the cat, you got the rat, you got the vulture, you got the trees, castle.
10:05Say everything's here.
10:06I'm taking a little bit of a chance on this because I'm not going through every single
10:11piece.
10:12I mean, the core is there.
10:13The major bones to it is there.
10:15And I'm hoping the rest of it is.
10:17With the box and the condition it's in, 175 bucks.
10:21You got it.
10:21That was easy.
10:22You got it.
10:23All right, let's do that.
10:24Thanks, man.
10:25Very cool.
10:31Is this related to your family?
10:33It is.
10:34Okay.
10:3430s and 40s.
10:35Oh, wow.
10:36This is, what a great piece to have for you guys.
10:39Yeah, there's my mom right there.
10:40Oh, my gosh, really?
10:41Brent's passion, his cousin's passion, his brother's passion, all of that is what filled
10:47up this house.
10:48Darth Vader headset.
10:50He didn't plan for this to happen.
10:51That's not what collecting is all about.
10:53It's about inspiration and following your heart, especially when it comes to music and
10:58moments from your childhood.
11:00Well, here's some Beatles stuff right here.
11:02That's the Remco dolls.
11:03Okay.
11:04Put out 1964, each with an instrument.
11:06Wow.
11:07I don't think I even knew music until my brother turned me on to the Beatles.
11:11The way they could harmonize, it was not like any harmony I'd heard before.
11:17The way Paul has got a high part to John's lead, I was hooked.
11:21Ringo and Paul were the most popular because Paul was the cutest and Ringo was the silliest.
11:27And then John, you know, John's John, you know, he's awesome.
11:31George was always the quiet Beatle.
11:32Did everything I could to talk my mom into letting me have a Beatles haircut, which she
11:37wouldn't.
11:37I had to wait till 1970 for that to happen.
11:41And they broke up by then.
11:43There are certain moments in your life that take you by surprise.
11:47I'm talking life changing, flip the switch, things that you will never forget.
11:52One of those pivotal moments for Brent was when he heard the Beatles for the first time.
11:57Now imagine that happening to millions of people at the same time.
12:01That's how big Beatlemania was.
12:04So these are 1964?
12:051964.
12:06Remco was one of the first companies to cash in on Beatlemania with their 1964 Beatles dolls.
12:13Each one in a little gray suit with a mop top haircut.
12:16Oh, sorry.
12:17That's okay.
12:18It's always John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
12:20Isn't that all right?
12:21Oh, okay, okay.
12:22Yeah.
12:22I'm familiar with Remco, but from the monster side of things.
12:26They made the Wolfman, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon.
12:30There's some wear on the gilding here.
12:32The rare one is George.
12:35Okay.
12:35George is the hardest one to find.
12:37And why is he the hardest one to find?
12:38Because at the time, he was the least popular.
12:41Oh, no kidding.
12:42The quiet.
12:43So these weren't something you bought as a set.
12:45You had to buy them individually.
12:46Those Remco dolls is about my favorite of the Beatles memorabilia.
12:50So I've got numerous sets of them.
12:53Do you have any of these in the box?
12:55Yeah, not here.
12:56But what's a set in the box go for?
12:58Four figures.
13:00No kidding.
13:01Four figures.
13:01Because of the box.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Yeah.
13:03So what do you want for the set of them, the four of them?
13:05Well, the whole four of them would probably be about 500 bucks.
13:09Okay.
13:09And that's a retail number on them?
13:12That's a conservative.
13:14That is because, well, I'm looking at the guitars.
13:16All of them have wear to them.
13:18So obviously that matters.
13:20The main thing is that their hair hasn't been cut.
13:23Okay.
13:24Oh, people were cutting their hair?
13:26Yes.
13:26No kidding?
13:27That's not all that we're doing to it.
13:29And the straps.
13:30Yeah, I can see the straps are there.
13:31The straps get broken easy, and these aren't broken.
13:33Okay.
13:33400 bucks.
13:35No.
13:36Can't do it?
13:36No.
13:37George, by himself, is worth over 200.
13:39Huh.
13:40Once he said that the hair hadn't been cut, and that George can bring over 200 bucks himself,
13:45he had me.
13:47All right, I'll do 475.
13:48Okay, cool.
13:49Certain songs of theirs just remind me of my brother.
13:52We had such a up and down relationship, I guess you'd say.
13:56It started out great when I was very small, and then when he discovered girls, that made
14:01it tough.
14:02And we fought a lot.
14:04But then, here come the Beatles, and all of a sudden, we had common ground again.
14:09And that lasted all the way to when he left for Vietnam, and that killed me, him going
14:16to Vietnam.
14:18But he made it.
14:20By the grace of God, he made it, and he came back from Vietnam right about the time they broke
14:24up.
14:25We were hoping for a reunion, and alas, that never happened.
14:29Hey, Brent, look what I found over here.
14:31Yep, that's my Star Wars collection, part of it.
14:34Check this out.
14:35The original box, and then in it, are all the guys.
14:38Yep.
14:39Star Wars was the number one movie in 1977.
14:42It took the whole world by storm.
14:45Oh, no way!
14:46Yoda!
14:47Han Solo, Frozen and Carbonite?
14:50I'm starting to do better!
14:54I'm your father.
14:55Yeah!
14:56Yeah!
14:57I was 10 years old when this movie came out.
15:00Oh, I was 20-something.
15:01I took my wife to see it at the drive-in theater, and I think she went to sleep during
15:06it.
15:07But I loved it.
15:08I thought, this is great.
15:09I thought, I've got to go to a real theater and see this, and I was hooked on it.
15:12I've got models and puzzles and all kinds of other Star Wars stuff.
15:16That's for sale?
15:17That is for sale.
15:18To the left.
15:19Wow.
15:20Dude, you're only kidding there.
15:21I missed out on a lot of Beatles stuff at yard sales, because I was too young to go to
15:25them
15:25then.
15:26But now, here's all the Star Wars stuff.
15:28I'm going to get all I can, and maybe it'll go up in value.
15:31And it did.
15:32I mean, I've seen some of the auctions in the last five, six years.
15:35Some of this stuff in the Series 1 that's dead men in the package, $20,000.
15:40Wow.
15:42I've been paying attention to this market.
15:44It has skyrocketed, but you have to find what they call the Kenner 12.
15:48And those guys, those were the original 12 action figures that came out in 1978.
15:54Those are the ones that everybody is searching for.
15:57They're very hard to find, especially in the original packaging.
16:11So, a lot of this stuff.
16:12That one up there is probably from the first series there.
16:15The R2-D2?
16:16Yeah.
16:16The first and second were the greatest, and then Return of the Jedi is when it started
16:20going downhill.
16:21Yeah, the first one's always the best, I think.
16:23I'd like to pull out a bunch of this stuff and see if we can make a deal on a
16:27pile of this.
16:28I started collecting toys 40 years ago, and it was drilled into my head at that time.
16:32Condition, condition, condition.
16:34There's an X-Wing fighter right here.
16:36If it's played with, that's a condition six.
16:39If it's not played with, and it's in the original box and the original packaging, you want to
16:44condition nine or ten.
16:451983, never been open.
16:47Okay.
16:48Those are the things that always, always will demand the money.
16:51I've got R2-D2, the X-Wing, original wrapper, C-3PO.
16:56Even this toy here, I mean, I've seen this toy sell as high as 600 bucks.
17:01But look at the box.
17:03The R2-D2?
17:04That's a good one, because it's in the box.
17:07It's radio-controlled.
17:09We've got the warranty paperwork.
17:13You've got the original instructions.
17:15Let's see condition-wise.
17:17Let's see.
17:17See how the yellowing happened to the body on this?
17:20All the big collectors, they don't want any of that.
17:23See the damage up here?
17:24Mm-hmm.
17:24Here.
17:25Oh, here we go.
17:26So the battery box, yeah.
17:28Doesn't look like it actually was ever played with too much, except for the yellowing on this.
17:32The condition of it's not the best.
17:34It's not new old stock.
17:36In this shape, it's probably worth $100.
17:38If it was in perfect shape, you know, $600, $700.
17:41Wow.
17:42Big difference.
17:43Sure is.
17:43For these five pieces, honestly, because these are just models, I'd want to be at like $200 on all of
17:50them.
17:51I mean, that's leaving me a little bit, I think, on the backside.
17:54Well, I could see the $100 for that, but, you know, then the other $100, I don't think I'd want
17:59to let loose of them.
18:01Okay.
18:01All right.
18:02These are selling anywhere from $20 to $30.
18:04Yeah.
18:05I can go $100 on that R2-D2, but some of those models were sealed, and they were from the
18:1170s and early 80s.
18:12I thought, I'll just hang on to those.
18:14I could do the $100 on that, but I'll just hang on to them.
18:17You want to keep the rest?
18:18I'll just hang on to them.
18:18All right.
18:19All right.
18:19On the other sets, though, that you still have here, like this right here, would you just sell these two
18:25sets right here?
18:26Yeah.
18:27There's some doubles in here.
18:29Right.
18:29I would be a player on both sets.
18:32Some of these have been played with pretty hard.
18:34Right.
18:37$350.
18:41The original 12, a few of those are in this case, so that makes my time worthwhile to buy this
18:47whole case.
18:48You got it.
18:48That work?
18:49All right.
18:50You got it.
18:50All right.
18:50I appreciate that.
18:52Brent.
18:52Yes, Mike.
18:54Hey, Roseville Pottery, man.
18:56Roseville Pottery was based in Ohio and started around the late 1800s.
19:00Look at the bottom of it.
19:01You can see what says Roseville.
19:02This is actually part of a set, but there's no cracks or chips in it or anything.
19:06That was my aunt's, Aunt Edith.
19:08This is the kind of stuff I was looking for 30 years ago, in old farmhouses, on gravel roads, or
19:13in flea markets in Iowa.
19:15I knew what it was because I had mentors that were older dealers that were looking for it.
19:21The people that are collecting this are aging out, but to me, it's art pottery, and so it's timeless.
19:26I've always loved the colors, the designs.
19:29I'll continue to buy it anytime I see it.
19:31I'll give you 20 bucks.
19:32It's worth 35.
19:33Sure.
19:34Okay.
19:34Okay.
19:35Let's do that.
19:35All right.
19:36Very cool.
19:36If you start out in this business with mentors, then you're one of the lucky ones.
19:45A pick of this magnitude with this much stuff can be intimidating, even to someone that's
19:51done this for as long as I have, because you want to see everything, and if you feel like
19:56you don't, then you drive yourself crazy.
19:58Oh, here's Opry.
19:59Look at that.
20:00So you first have your primary search.
20:02You're looking at all the big stuff, everything that you can physically see right in front of
20:06you.
20:0660 bucks.
20:07You got it.
20:09I love it.
20:09Absolutely love it.
20:11Then you go back through, and you do the secondary search where you're opening drawers, you're
20:15getting under cabinets, and you're just getting a little bit more detailed.
20:18That's cool.
20:19But I honestly believe if you dig enough, if you look hard enough, it's like if you're
20:23putting that energy out there, it's going to bounce back, man.
20:26Hey, Brent.
20:27Yo.
20:28Where you at?
20:29I'm right here.
20:29Dude, have you seen this before?
20:31Is that a Halloween thing?
20:32No, no.
20:32This is a Mark's.
20:33It's called the Spooky Kooky Tree.
20:36Okay.
20:36And I used to see these at the Chicago Toy Show, man.
20:39But the first time I ever saw this toy was at the Chicago Coin-Op Show, and I was blown
20:43away by what they were asking for.
20:45It was around a couple thousand dollars years ago, but it was pristine mint.
20:50The box was mint.
20:51When I see something that's that unusual and priced that high, I remember it.
20:56This is the rarer version of it.
20:57This has mushrooms on it.
20:59Okay.
21:00See the mushrooms on it?
21:021960s psychedelic spooky tree.
21:04Of course it has mushrooms on it.
21:06It's spooky, but it's also a little trippy.
21:09Imagine the mind of the person that created this toy.
21:12It's almost kind of HR Puffin stuff looking.
21:15You know what I mean?
21:16It is.
21:16But this is way before that.
21:17Yeah.
21:18You know, it's just so cool.
21:19If the tree from Wizard of Oz and Groot had a baby, it would be this tree.
21:24The box isn't that great, but man, the toy is in nice shape.
21:27When these things work, they actually spin around on the ground and they whistle.
21:31Oh, great.
21:32Okay.
21:32Yeah.
21:33I'd say it's close to mint.
21:34There's some scratches and stuff in it.
21:36You know, like there's some scuffing.
21:38But other than that, it looks like it's in pretty good condition.
21:41It's all there.
21:42Where'd you find this at?
21:43Did you find it at your garage sale or something?
21:44How'd you find this?
21:45I do believe I just found it on the side of the road.
21:48Really?
21:48Oh, on one of those big garbage days?
21:50Bulk pickup.
21:51Oh my gosh.
21:52Somebody just threw it away.
21:53God bless the bulk pickup day.
21:55I remember those when I was a kid.
21:56I found bicycles.
21:57I found stickers.
21:58I found monster models.
22:00Those were my favorite days too.
22:01Yeah.
22:02When the city allows you to throw anything out.
22:04Exactly.
22:05The big piles.
22:05I know.
22:06The bulk pickup day is a treasure trove for anyone that wants to get a little dirty.
22:13That's probably why the box is like it is.
22:14It's because it was on the side of the road.
22:16Look at that box, man.
22:17The box means a lot.
22:19Yeah.
22:19I mean, even in this condition, the box is still valuable.
22:23I mean, they're all over the place.
22:24Anywhere from $850 to $2,500, depending on the condition of the box and the condition of the toy.
22:33I mean, this one's been played with and you can see some scuffing on the face and the lip and
22:38stuff.
22:38And I'm not trying to, you know, knock it down too much.
22:41But, I mean, toy collectors, like, mint is mint.
22:44Unplayed with is unplayed with.
22:46They're such a rare toy.
22:48With the condition of the box and the condition of the toy, I'd do $800.
22:55That's awesome.
22:57Will you do that?
22:58I will do that.
22:59That is awesome.
23:00Okay.
23:00When we first got to this property and Brent told me he was the last man standing, it was a
23:04very somber moment.
23:05But as we walked through it and I saw his excitement for each piece, whether it was his or his
23:10brothers or his cousins, he's romantic at heart.
23:13I'm set on the eight track tapes for a while.
23:16He loves all of these things, not just for what they are and his memories as a child, but he
23:21loves them because it's always been around him.
23:24I love that you're still finding peace with all this stuff.
23:27Yeah, trying to.
23:28That's a good place to be.
23:29Yeah.
23:29Thank you, my friend.
23:30God bless you.
23:31God bless you, buddy.
23:32So, to me, the last man standing is a celebration.
23:36It's a celebration that, hey, I am still here.
23:39I still love this stuff.
23:41I'm telling these stories.
23:42And when I tell these stories, everything comes to life.
23:47Sweet pickin'.
24:00So, where were you this morning?
24:01I woke up, I order your breakfast sandwich, and then I go outside, the van's gone, you're gone.
24:06I went out, I had breakfast with a buddy.
24:08You didn't have breakfast with a buddy.
24:09You smell like a frickin' oil stain, dude.
24:11I went to a guy's place down here that I knew.
24:14I figured you didn't want to go.
24:15What are you talking about?
24:16A guy's place for what?
24:18I went on a pre-pick.
24:19You went and picked a guy before you get in the van and pick with me?
24:22Yes.
24:24What's wrong with that?
24:25What are you talking about?
24:26Who are these people, though?
24:27Why aren't I picking them?
24:29Well, I figured you didn't want to go.
24:31You were still asleep.
24:32Who's paying for the gas?
24:34You did.
24:35I don't want to talk about this ever again.
24:38Well, then you're really not going to want to know about the post-picks.
24:46Danny D, what's up?
24:47Hey.
24:48What do you got?
24:48What kind of lead you got?
24:49Oh, okay.
24:50You guys are ready, huh?
24:51I'm going to send you to a guy named Brad.
24:53Guy's a hard-working dude.
24:54He's a mechanic.
24:55He's got his own repair shop.
24:56Oh, that's cool.
24:57He still works on cars?
24:58Yeah.
24:59Plus, he's been collecting since he was a child.
25:01So, for 50 years, he's just been dragging stuff home.
25:04Oh, yeah.
25:05Yeah.
25:05Right up both our alley.
25:09Dang.
25:09What was he mainly into?
25:12Petrolliana.
25:13Breweriana.
25:14There was one room in there that was so full that all I could see was just the tops of
25:17pinball machines.
25:19Really?
25:20No joke.
25:20All right.
25:21Sounds cool.
25:22Send us the coordinates.
25:23Will do, guys.
25:24Have fun.
25:24Thanks, Danny.
25:26Dude, I got to already see the guy's signs from here.
25:29Oh, he's got to be hit up all the time, man.
25:35Woo, doggy.
25:36Hey, hey.
25:37You getting my Corvette fixed yet?
25:40Are you Brad?
25:41I am.
25:41How you doing, man?
25:42I'm Mike.
25:42This is my brother, Robbie.
25:44Nice to meet you.
25:44There you go.
25:45I like to have fun.
25:47And it's whoever dies with the most toys wins.
25:50It's not money, necessarily.
25:52It's just toys.
25:53Do you have a lot of people bringing stuff in here?
25:54Oh, yeah.
25:55I don't have a sign out there that says Brad's Automotive.
25:58When some people go by, they're not 100% sure what we do there.
26:01And with all the old cool signs outside, they feel welcome enough to stop in and kind of,
26:06hey, what is this?
26:07Is any of this stuff for sale?
26:08I've held off for many years.
26:10Every once in a while, I let go of something.
26:11But I'm in my 60s and I'm not going to be running this place forever.
26:15Anytime you have a building or a business open to the public, you're going to get people
26:19coming by trying to buy stuff.
26:21But you're also going to get people coming by trying to sell you stuff because they see
26:26all over the walls and outside what you like, what you're collecting.
26:30You're creating a trading post.
26:32What's up with this?
26:33The greasy dick.
26:33I think that one used to be neon because of the holes in it.
26:36But that's long gone.
26:38A lot of guys will say that this sign is pronounced Greizedek.
26:42No, it's pronounced Greazy Dick, just like in the Midwest.
26:46Do you even know about Greazy Dick and Falstaff?
26:49Yeah.
26:49Never heard of that.
26:50Oh, yeah.
26:51Stanley, is that something you told her about?
26:52No, it's really a beard.
26:54I'd neon that thing.
26:56Wow.
26:57It looked cool with neon on it.
26:58Neon just makes things look that much better.
27:01And yeah, look at this sign.
27:02It's all beat to hell.
27:03But add neon to it, you won't even notice the rest of it.
27:06So you want to sell this?
27:09Ah, possibly.
27:10It's a St. Louis brand.
27:12Oh, okay.
27:12Yeah.
27:13Talk to me.
27:15He's calculating that in his mind how much it's going to cost a neon.
27:17Yeah, I can see the gears turning.
27:18Yeah, he does.
27:19700.
27:22I'm stepping up.
27:24Oh, man.
27:25That Greasy Dick Brothers sign, that's a rare one.
27:28I don't know.
27:28I'll never find another one.
27:29I don't believe I will.
27:32Yeah, I guess I'd let that go for 700.
27:34All right, bud.
27:35There you go.
27:36Yeah, it's beat to hell.
27:37It's got a little wave in it.
27:38But I'm going to flatten it back out.
27:39I'm going to put some neon on it.
27:41It's going to look freaking killer when it's done.
27:44Greasy Dick.
27:44I guess let's take it down right away, because if I think about it very long,
27:47it may just stay up there.
27:50I don't blame you, man.
27:51It becomes part of you, don't it?
27:52Oh, I just love it.
27:53It's part of the building.
27:54How long has that been up there?
27:5525 years or so.
27:57Really?
27:57What my brother doesn't know yet is that I actually have the other side of this sign,
28:02and it's in way better condition.
28:04She's free.
28:05I was actually going to tell him about it earlier, but I went on a pre-pick.
28:10Cha-ching.
28:12This country club is pretty cool.
28:14Well, it's half a sign.
28:15It's awesome, though.
28:16Yeah, it's got the great graphic on it or something.
28:20Do you think there was maybe a privilege panel on the bottom of that or no?
28:23That's what it looks like.
28:24You only got half the bottle, so this sign was actually pretty damn big, man.
28:28This is a tin sign, self-embossed.
28:30It probably had a privilege panel on the bottom that's been cut off.
28:34But there's no flaking this on this.
28:36This thing will clean up, though.
28:37Where'd that come out of?
28:38Decatur swap, mate.
28:39The sign says Country Club, but right above that it says Goetz.
28:43Goetz was a brewery out of St. Joe, Missouri that started way before the Civil War.
28:48Being from Iowa and picking there for decades and Missouri being a neighboring state,
28:53I pulled a lot of stuff out of Barnes that was related to Goetz Brewery.
28:57This brand was reintroduced after Prohibition.
29:00They actually changed the name.
29:02That's when they rolled out Country Club Beer.
29:04What are you thinking on something like that?
29:06Is that even something you'd turn loose?
29:08Looks like it's been up there for a while.
29:10It has.
29:11Well, I'm listening.
29:12Hey, you called us.
29:13Well, I called Danielle.
29:15All right.
29:16500 bucks.
29:18You got to remember, the bottle was cut.
29:20Yep.
29:21The great thing about the sign is that it had the bottle on.
29:24It's got that image on it.
29:25It's going to clean up, and it's a good size.
29:28The problem with it is that it's not the size it's supposed to be.
29:31Half the bottom is gone.
29:33It's probably worth 800 to 1,000 tops.
29:35Yeah.
29:36600 bucks.
29:39I'll do it.
29:40All right.
29:40I guess you talked me into it.
29:42Hell.
29:43If it stays up there much longer, I may just leave it.
29:45Well, we got a ladder or something?
29:46Look at Robbie.
29:47Uh-oh.
29:48Watch out.
29:49Whoa.
29:49Look at that dad bod.
29:51All right.
29:52I like this.
29:53All of a sudden, he just shimmied up the purlings there, and it was hanging on by his toenails.
29:58I haven't seen him do this since fourth grade.
30:01Woo!
30:01Oh, she's making noises.
30:03Here we go.
30:03Here we go.
30:04Look at that.
30:05Yeah.
30:06He's doing it.
30:07He's doing it.
30:08Spider-man.
30:09This is going to be interesting.
30:11Oh, no.
30:13My brother might walk like Frankenstein, but the dude,
30:17just got a little spider monkey in him.
30:18I was really surprised.
30:20I'm usually the one doing all the climbing.
30:35Shops like this are getting fewer and far between.
30:37The independent that works on just about anything.
30:40Whether you bring them a Model T or you bring them an F-150, they can wrench on it.
30:44This is Aubrey's best kept secret right here.
30:47Oh, yeah.
30:48This is actually a place that he used to live until it was taken over by his collection.
30:54This side used to be my wife's side of the house.
30:57Since she's moved out, it's become the game room.
31:00Oh, these are cool.
31:01We grew up playing pinball machines.
31:03They were everywhere.
31:04They were in bowling alleys.
31:05They were in rec centers.
31:06They were in laundromats.
31:07They were at the mall.
31:08I just like playing pinball in general.
31:10So there wasn't a pinball machine that didn't have a theme behind it.
31:14There's people playing pool.
31:15You can see there's people scuba diving.
31:17You can see there's drag racing.
31:18I really like the baseball game down at the end.
31:21That Ted Williams, 57.
31:23That's the one where we're connected.
31:24We had one of those at our rec center when we were kids.
31:26And they're fun to play.
31:27Oh, my gosh.
31:28Yeah.
31:29Our local pinball hotspot was the land of Oz.
31:33It was up at Duck Creek Mall.
31:34We spent every waking moment there.
31:37It was all about the challenge.
31:39And everybody who was there, we had 10 or 15 guys there.
31:42We were setting the records every day.
31:44And every day, you had to go back here to make sure your record wasn't broken.
31:48The lights and the sounds.
31:50It was like a little Vegas for kids.
31:52I could let go of a couple of them anyway.
31:56I can look through these machines, and I can pick out the one that I like the most.
32:00But that doesn't mean it's the hottest one.
32:02That doesn't mean it's the rarest one or the most expensive one.
32:06I've got a buddy that's really into pinball.
32:09Nice.
32:09I mean, he's got over 200 machines.
32:12Sweet.
32:13That work.
32:14Both my brother and I know enough to be dangerous.
32:16But we're not entrenched in the market constantly.
32:20Let me send him these.
32:22Well, make sure you see everything.
32:24Oh, my God.
32:24This is awesome, dude.
32:26Brad created the spot for everybody to come and hang.
32:29He's got the pinball machines.
32:30He's got all the beer bottles on the wall.
32:32You drank every one of these, too.
32:33Yeah.
32:34It's like, come on over here, guys.
32:36Let's get it on tonight.
32:37There's stuff in here I haven't seen in 20 years myself.
32:39Literally every inch of the floor, the walls, the ceiling, the display cases, it's full.
32:45This is where you really got to get your senses right, man.
32:48You got to go through every little detail because the smallest thing on a space this big could be the
32:54most expensive thing.
32:55What's that shirt right there that's chain-stitched or a jacket?
32:58I was afraid he's going to, like, want to look at that.
33:01What's that say?
33:02Muncie Dragway.
33:03Muncie Dragway.
33:05Get out of here.
33:05Muncie's gone, isn't it?
33:08Let me see that thing, dude.
33:101963 class champion Muncie Dragway.
33:13This thing is so cool, man.
33:15Put your arm in there.
33:16Oh, yeah.
33:17Oh, it even fit.
33:18You see, you're scrawny, man.
33:20That freaking thing wouldn't fit me.
33:21Yeah, I don't think it'd fit me, either.
33:23That thing's bad to the bone.
33:24I like the front of it.
33:25So how did Muncie Drag Coat end up down here?
33:28Because this is, I assume this is Muncie, Indiana.
33:30It is.
33:31They called it Mid-America Dragway.
33:33Well, I grew up in Indiana.
33:35Where at?
33:37A little town called Portland is where I am.
33:39Oh, that's where the swap meet is.
33:40Oh, yeah, man.
33:40That's the scooter meet.
33:41I did not go to that, but they have the tractor show up there.
33:45Yeah, yeah.
33:46Absolutely.
33:46It's world-renowned.
33:47Oh, my gosh.
33:48Yeah, threshing meet.
33:49Yeah.
33:49Yeah, man.
33:50And I go to that.
33:51Where'd you get this at?
33:51Buddy Mine gave it to me.
33:52He's passed away now.
33:54We called him Fast Eddie, and he used to race motorcycles.
33:56Was he the champion?
33:57Yes.
33:58He was such a cool guy.
33:59It was good to hang with him because he was ornery.
34:02He's a wild man.
34:03He was in high school, and he was a drag strip champion.
34:05Imagine how popular this guy was with the ladies.
34:09Look at that, dude.
34:10Man, it fits you like a glove.
34:12Oh, my gosh.
34:13It fits you like a glove.
34:14Oh, what are you thinking, man?
34:16The thing I love about vintage clothing is the opportunity to tell people stories.
34:21This coat is an artifact of Fast Eddie's badassery.
34:26300 bucks.
34:32I understand how personal clothing is, you know what I mean?
34:37And then when it's tattooed the way something like this is, where it's chain stitched, and
34:43it's telling the story, and then you're telling me about him, that just, like, takes all of
34:47it around home into a full circle.
34:50The only way to keep his story alive, or anybody's for that matter, is to continue to talk about
34:56them and share their story.
34:58And when you have a piece of vintage clothing in that mix as well, then the story's told
35:03over and over again if you're wearing it.
35:06You know, they're like, where did you get that coat?
35:08Whose coat was that?
35:09Tell me about this drag strip.
35:11What are you thinking?
35:12350, I guess, if you'll do that.
35:14I'll gladly do it, man.
35:16I'll wear it.
35:16Because he was my buddy.
35:17I'll wear it.
35:18I'm honored that he would sell me this coat, because it was a very close friend to his,
35:23and he meant a lot to him.
35:24It was a really cool moment between us.
35:26And you're lucky it doesn't fit me, or you wouldn't be there.
35:36Hello.
35:37Hey, man, did you get those photos I sent you?
35:39I did.
35:39I met Ryan Adams in Nashville about 10 years ago, and one of the first things that he told
35:44me was about his pinball collection, how big it was, how long he's been collecting.
35:49And the guy is not just a musical genius.
35:52He is a pinball savant.
35:54He truly knows his stuff when it comes to these games.
35:59Scuba, bankball, and nitro ground shaker are little pieces of gold here.
36:05These are electromechanical games, and EM games are different than solid state games.
36:12So if you were to look underneath the play field, every single thing inside of the game
36:18runs on its own single circuit, which is super cool.
36:22Nitro ground shaker is a drag racing game.
36:25There were 7,950 of them made, which means that it's not rare.
36:29But it has a 7.8 rating.
36:32Ryan's mind works so fast.
36:35He's given us way more information than we can even digest.
36:38Scuba is from 1970.
36:40Here, we're going to see if it works right now.
36:41There you go.
36:42Oh, it's working, dude.
36:43It's lit up.
36:44Oh my gosh.
36:45Ryan, it's sick, man.
36:47Woo!
36:48The bank of ball.
36:48Bank of ball.
36:49Gottlieb made one in 1950.
36:51So this one.
36:52And they made another one in 1965.
36:54This is the 65.
36:55This is the 65, he says.
36:57I think so.
36:58Yeah.
36:58Nitro ground shaker is from 1980.
37:01This is a good thing to know.
37:02This is an early solid state.
37:04So this isn't the EM version, which means that's a lot better.
37:09I need you to do me a favor and look at the flippers themselves.
37:12And did they say the word flipper on them?
37:14Yes.
37:14Yep, they say flipper on them.
37:16Sometimes people will pay hundreds of dollars just for those flippers.
37:19The smallest detail can mean so much.
37:22Much like the flipper saying flipper.
37:25Who knew?
37:26I, now I do.
37:27Now everybody does.
37:28Bank of ball was the first pinball machine produced with flipper return lanes that allow
37:33the ball to roll behind the slingshot and towards a waiting flipper.
37:38First one ever.
37:39Modern pinball could not exist without the invention of in lanes.
37:43That really improved the game because it was just by chance before that that you'd get
37:48a shot with a flipper.
37:49But you get to anticipate its arrival and aim your shot and it would increase your skill
37:53level.
37:54And that just made the game a lot more fun.
37:56And I didn't realize that bank ball was the first one to do that.
37:59This is right after they were breaking these things up because people were betting on them.
38:03But see, once flippers were added to pinball machines and then especially here with an in
38:09lane, it became a sport.
38:11It's gone from a cool pinball to just a piece of history.
38:15I'm starting to understand what it's like listening to me talk about motorcycles.
38:19Woo!
38:19It's a lot.
38:21Oh, it's lit.
38:22Dude, it just got lit up.
38:26Oh, look at that.
38:28I can see what you're saying now, man.
38:31Look at that lit.
38:32Whoa, listen to that.
38:34This game is a rock concert.
38:36It's an equalizer.
38:37It's a light show.
38:38Boom.
38:39You're in 1980 again.
38:41Got a free game.
38:43Now something's stuck.
38:44Yeah.
38:45Might want to unplug it.
38:47No.
38:47Ryan, what do you think the retail on this bank of balls worth in this condition?
38:51Due to the rarity of it, even as a wedge head, you want to put about $200 to $300 into
38:57this.
38:58Once it's there, I would say you're flying above $2K.
39:00If you clean up that scuba and put $200 into it and made it really pretty, you could get
39:06$12 to $15.
39:07Okay.
39:08And then I think Nitro Groundshaker gone through would get $2,500 easy all day long.
39:14So that's the cool thing about EMs is like this is it when we find them.
39:18Sometimes that's the last one we're ever going to find.
39:20And Nitro Groundshaker, you're never going to see another one in that condition.
39:23And you're never going to see a scuba again.
39:25All right, buddy.
39:26Thank you for everything, man.
39:28If we end up getting any of these, I'll hit you up, okay?
39:31All right.
39:31Talk to y'all later.
39:32Love you too.
39:32Bye.
39:33Peace.
39:33I feel overstimulated.
39:35Would you sell these three games?
39:38When you ask somebody, is it for sale?
39:40And you're standing there, all of a sudden, everything that they've been thinking becomes real.
39:46You know, it's like, okay, wow.
39:48Okay, this is it.
39:48This is the moment.
39:49I've been thinking about this for a long time.
39:51I called these guys.
39:52And when you get excited about it, like me and Robbie getting excited about stuff, sometimes
39:57they fall in love with it again.
40:00I'd probably sell those two.
40:02This one I'm a little hesitant on, but if the price was right.
40:07What's your connection to this one?
40:08The cars.
40:09Yeah.
40:10I know.
40:10I can see that.
40:11But if you truly love people and you truly love being around other collectors, there's
40:17that connection.
40:18There's the brotherhood.
40:19And we understand each other.
40:21And we don't take it lightly.
40:23But I got more than I need.
40:26Yeah.
40:27So, you know, you got too many when you start using them for tables.
40:30What would you sell these two games for?
40:32I'm thinking $1,000 a piece.
40:34$2,000 for the pair.
40:36So, the money's really to be made on this one.
40:38Because at $1,000 on this, you know, you're eking by it.
40:43Well, actually, you're right there.
40:46Because $1,000 on this game, if this is $1,200 after it's massaged.
40:52Well, come back at me.
40:54Or make it off for a number three.
40:57Well, I tell you what.
40:58I have no problem on $1,000 on that.
41:01How about $800 on that?
41:05$1,800.
41:06And then, what did he say if that thing was rock and roll and just $2,500?
41:10$2,500 all day long.
41:11Woo!
41:12Man, it's got my heart rate up here a little bit.
41:14$1,800 on those two.
41:15How much on this one?
41:17I mean, where do you need to be to feel comfortable even letting that go?
41:21Or even want to?
41:27$3,500 for all three?
41:29That puts us at $1,800 and $1,700.
41:33However you want to do the math.
41:34But yeah, $3,500 for all three.
41:37All right.
41:38All right, we did it.
41:39We got there.
41:40We did.
41:41We got there, man.
41:42Woo!
41:42I think the reason Brad sold us some of this stuff is because he saw that we had the same
41:47exact passion that he had.
41:49You know, at the end of the day, as collectors, we want to see our stuff go down the road
41:54to
41:55someone that loves it just as much as we did.
41:57I tell you what, I know those machines meant a lot.
42:00You had them a long time.
42:02Oh, yeah.
42:03And so, listen, it's so cool, you know, after having stuff for a while to put it out back
42:06in the hobby.
42:07Bittersweet is how it felt.
42:08But I gained some cash so I can go buy some more stuff.
42:12See ya.
42:13See ya.
42:13See ya.
42:14See ya.
42:16See ya.
