  • This weekend I came across a flea market vendor with a box of mixed sports cards for $20. I saw some decent rookie cards on top, so I decided to try my luck - let's see what we can find.

    Dude, that box is the biggest steal I have ever seen. The guy must have died and the widow sold it? Amazing box of cards!

    Wow this was a nice one for $20! I love mystery boxes. Steve Young rookie was nice surprise, and those 86 fleer basketball are also sweet finds. I just made my way through a 40 pound mystery box, hopefully will have the highlights up soon

    Wow! You'd never find a box like that in the Seattle area! I'm going through a box that I purchased off Ebay, listening to you and my head snapped at Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull. Then you said George Brett and that was it! I had such a crush on George when I was 12 (ages me haha). I try to collect everything George ❤

  • @kingstonagainstcorruption2268

    I used to see a bunch of the big penny sleeves in the 80s and 90s so those cards have been in those a long time !!! Great box for $20 .... Wish I'd found it!!

    1960 Jim Kaat! I’m trying to collect a 1961 Topps set. Commons weren’t too tough (except the high numbers) but Kaat and Gibson and . . . .are a lot tougher. If your willing to deal I’m willing to listen.

      No doubt. I remember finding my grail card. Wayne Gretzky rookie. I KNEW I had it. Somewhere. I had the 10,000 ct boxes. My 2nd box BAM. Along with a Marcel Dionne rookie. Then 10 yrs later it was stolen. Advice to teens DONT TRUST ANYONE. A "friend" ripped me off.

    Really ridiculous 20 dollar box. I lucked out similarly a few years ago with a 100 dollar box and found all 1969 to 1976 baseball and football unsearched. Aaron, Brett, May's, etc and 2 nice Walter Payton rc from 1976. And commons and stars..better than Christmas! Congrats!

  • @Swoop187OG187
    @Swoop187OG187 3 роки тому +1

    Anyone ever see or have the "Topps Big" before?.. I'm not talking about the sideways cards from the late 80's, the cards I'm talking about were issued in 1984 & 85 - they looked exactly like the regular issue but they were gigantic, perhaps 4.5 x 7.5??? maybe an inch larger... I always thought they were really cool..... Nice Kaat and Clemens RC, I bet you weren't expecting that to happen, lol

So yeah, Happy Birthday, and good luck in the future in finding awesome boxes like this. Great video, my man!
