    Just super sad. I had so many of these cards but when my family moved in early 1978, my mother threw all of my cards out and waited three days before she told me. I was 15. So much for great memories from my youth. 😭😭😭

    A rare Mike Trout autographed card sold in August 2020 for $3,930,000 The owner purchased the 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospect card in 2018 for $400,000 The 3.93 mil sale beat out the highest price for any card, which was Honus Wagner's $3,412,000. Not sure about Mickeys card for 12.4 mil. Thanks for the list !! Excellent work !!! I still have nightmares about concentrating on the gum at 5 cents a pack and tossing the cards or putting them in my bicycle spokes. Who would have ever thought !!!! Neighbor kid had a complex baseball game he made....and he had every card imaginable

    WOW! I had a couple of those Ricky Henderson rookie cards when I was a kid. None were ever graded but I doubt any were a 10, most likely if I was luck a PSA 5 to 7. Thanks for sharing this video, it was really cool to see all the PSA 10 cards and the 1 of 1 cards. I can not believe that Jeter card went for $600K, I missed out of that one, I stopped collecting in like 90-91 and never bought 93 Upper Deck. Sad sad. LOL

      I used to have so many late 60’s early 70’s but was robbed big time. I really think it was my ex’s brother. I couldn’t ever prove it. I had some really great cards too. I had every Tom Seaver car from rookie season all the way to 79. Those weren’t even close to my best cards either. I traded a bunch for a rookie Pete Rose and I had Gayle Sayers rookie. A bunch of football and hockey cards too. I had some Bobby Orr cards and probably 10,000 total. The majority of my collection gone in one night.

    The Vintage PSA 9s and 10s are most likely altered. And might want to address the disparity in grading from 10 years ago until now. There is now at least a 2-point difference with today's stricter grading standards.

    I've kept 2 boxes of 1000's of 1970's & 80's (few 1960's Topps) baseball cards that I bought back in 1999 from an Estate sale.
    I have so many Rookie, Nolan Ryan, Wade Boggs, Frank Thomas, Jose Canseco, and so on. I have Topps, Fleer & Ultra, Donruss complete sets.
    This guy I bought from that died must have known which cards to collect, because I haven't a clue what I have.

  • @leonardhollerbach9806
    @leonardhollerbach9806 9 місяців тому

    I remember seeing a photo album filled with Mickey Mantle cards. 3 or 4 pages of his rookie cards. Most were gem mint. None were counterfeit. I worked for one of the biggest baseball card dealers from Wilkes-Barre Pa back in the 1980’s. He had most of these cards. His most treasured cards ended up in his private collection. I would put his private collection as the best in the world. That may not be the case today nor do I know if he still lives. One day he wanted me to see something and he sat me down and we had an almost father /son moment enjoying just 3 of his albums. One was filled with Hank Aaron cards. I can’t even remember the 3rd album but it was a big name. Most of my memory was when he opened the Mickey Mantle album up. Just pages and pages. Filled with all of his early cards. Both rc tops AND BOWMAN! It’s ridiculous to think that that 1 photo album he had was worth….. over 100 million for sure but I really don’t know. These cards were in only the best condition. No dog eared cards. No blemishes. Can’t remember if any were off centered or not. I remember him telling me that he did sell Mickey Mantle rc cards just not any of the exceptional ones. He owned apartment buildings that were filled with cards. Not just 1980’s junk era but from every era. He man was a king in the industry. Also a Royal
    a$$hile. We did a convention up in Cooperstown and my mom who worked for him(how I got my job) gave me some money to buy some cards while we were there. As I walked around I saw a man trying to sell a box full of cards to a lot of the dealers. He wanted a couple hundred dollars, which I did not have. I kept an eye on him because I had $75 dollars and wanted them. 1984-85 star basketball cards. Very few were made. When he was completely dejected because NOBODY WANTED basketball cards back then. My mom actually bought me a Lou Alcindor rc card that was flawless except for a slight dog eared corner. The other 3 corners were perfect. She paid $30 dollars for it. Not too shabby for a Kareem Abdul Jabbar tc card!! Anyways. I was at the time behind my bosses table when I seen him leaving and I offered to buy them all for 75 bucks. My boss came over and told the guy he couldn’t sell them to me only him. He paid only $50 bucks for them even though I had $75 in my hand. He just said “Ben, he came here to see me not you. He was wrong but I was wrong to try to buy it as I stood behind his tables. I should have excused myself and bought it privately. We made 22 full sets of all the teams. All of the cards were in mint shape. 29 Michael Jordan rc cards. That’s not mentioning how many Magic Johndon/Larry Bird cards and everybody else for that matter. I got none of them. Not even a thank you. He was just annoyed with me.

    Buy a binder & pages. Set it up to view 2 pages at a time.
    Page 1 (left side)
    Upper left pocket: catcher
    Lower left: 1st baseman
    Lower right: 2nd baseman
    Upper right: 3rd baseman
    Middle column middle pocket: best starting pitcher
    3rd column middle pocket: shortstop
    (Remaining 3 pockets are for utility infielders)
    Page 2 (right side)
    1st column:
    Top: left fielder
    Middle: center fielder
    Bottom: right fielder
    2nd column: backup outfielders
    3rd column: starting pitchers #2, #3, #4
    Pages 3 & 4 will have relief pitchers and all other remaining players and whatever else: manager card, team card, highlight cards, extras of your fav players to fill in gaps etc.
    Your photo album that you DONT WANT to sell.
    People have lost sight of the big picture and you wont admit to yourselves that you are gambling & hoarding.
    Collecting means you want TO KEEP THEM not sell them.
    Sending in cards to get graded is really stupid. The grading companies win, NOT YOU!
