Another day at Conquest Comics…another Funko Pop collection walks through our door. Feels like Deja Vu, but fortunately for me it’s real! A couple of days back, an old customer of ours from back in the day came to offload a chunk of her Funko Pop collection that she had put together throughout the years.
The Pops ranged from Horror to Marvel with a little bit of everything sprinkled in for good measure. I will say that she did a great job collecting because she chose some real gems. I was pumped when I saw just a few that were lying on the tops of the boxes. Ghostface…Kiss…Elvis…there were some grail type pieces here. I wanted it badly and I hadn’t even looked through it yet.
I told her to throw me a number and she shot out $1200 immediately. I was counting up over $1200 in just the several pieces that were visible from the boxes. I was super busy at the shop and didn’t have a lot of spare time to get into Monty Hall mode, so I countered with $1000 which she accepted immediately. Best part, is that she said this was only about a third of the collection. That she just needed more time to go through the rest. Score!!!
Ok…so after counting, there were 118 pieces of which we needed 105 of. This score breaks down to $8.47 a piece. Higher than I’d normally pay on Pop collections…but this is no ordinary collection. For this pile of deliciousness contains a metric fuck ton of grail pieces for our cases. We separate anything $75 and above to pop in the cases. That’s where these mofo’s are headed.
Lots of tastiness here. Those Elvis ones are $300 plus…lots of $125 plus pieces. Just a massive score. Funny part is one of the Kiss Pops had an old sticker of ours from when she initially purchased it. We haven’t sold Pops for $9.95 for close to 10 years. Nutty…
Ultimately, this collection will end up making us thousands. I’ll never understand why people don’t opt for selling online. Especially when you have a monster collection!!! Sure it’s more work, and I can see the argument against it when the collection does not hold much value…but when you are sitting on a collection like this and you opt to bulk it…yikes!
Oh, one more thing. This was also included.
I haven’t even counted how many pieces are here, but there’s gotta be close to 200. I’ll count and update soon. We have a small loose Pop section, but now shit just got real. I see heavy hitters like Red Skull in here so I’m excited at pricing these up soon. Stay tuned!!!
Thanks for Popping by!
