- I picked up a random 1600 count box full of mostly older baseball cards at an antique mall today. Let's see if we can find any nice rookies or stars inside!

Thanks for watching!
Your voice is made to broadcast the World Series 👍🏻
I recently sold off a large portion of my sealed collection and came across some random loose packs. Since I was only selling boxes and sets I decided to walk down memory lane and open some of the random loose packs and I pulled a 92 Score Joe DImaggio Autograph. Made my day because I knew I was going to take a beating on the other stuff I was selling.
Out of all the guys that do this, I enjoy your style the most!
Thanks Danny! I’m glad you enjoy it!
It's his awesome baseball color voice.
You keep saying you wanna pick up your pace. You're pace is perfect imo. I enjoy when you find a card that sparks a memory. Even for whimsical reasons.
I appreciate you.
Thank you for the kind words.
38:16 for 25 bucks I mean same for watching a movie minus the popcorn 😆 got to see something I've never seen before so pretty cool
I love going thru old boxes like that too but it's pretty obvious someone picked all the good cards out.
You sound like a baseball announcer. Next video say…. “ just a bit outside.” 😂😂
Thank you for taking the time to go through the cards and adding great comments and card histories.
Two of my favorite things #1 its a tie, your videos and my first born child.
I so much want to visit an antique store or garage sale and find a box or small collection,.. pay about $20 to $30 dollars and finding it to be the pick of a lifetime!!! Fingers crossed for this spring or summer.
The p and g cards were very nice looking. Those sports sportsflix cards took me back down memory lane. I was a kid and thought they were the coolest cards ever made. This was a cool video thanks for sharing
Those 01 Topps are good to look out for Ichiro and Pujols. I bought a box about this size for $7 on marketplace for the fun of the hunt. Found an Ichiro rookie that sold for $45. Not much else but I got a few hundred $1 cards to add to my collection. It's fun to search thru boxes from years when I was not collecting and way more fun than buying a new pack/box for $20-50 and hoping for luck.
ty cobb patch sold for $15 on ebay.. so there is most of the cost covered.. Good video!
I love watching these vids. Takes me back for sure. Def worth 25 bucks for the chance of a gem. Do it for the hobby👍🏻
I'm doing this too and it is a lot of fun. I usually find something that makes the "investment" worth it, but really it's a lot of fun to dig through these cards that look rough and find some diamonds in there. It never fails really. At a minimum, the hunt is fun!
And a Yogi Berra! That lou brock and Henderson upper deck is the error card. No writing above plate
. Cool
Great video, like always. Love your channel
I went to HS with Ray Lankford... Compton transfer came in and ruled the gridiron. He helped us to a 13-1 record in 84. As good as he was in football he was even better at baseball.
You went to Davis with my Brother and Baker huh
@@olandermc not sure...who are you?
Really fun box. Thanks for the multiple mentions. I do have that sandberg but I rarely come across that one. That bill van landingham was a first day issue and doubles it's value from a half cent to 1 cent.
@@floydfanTN I do have that one already so ask away my friend...its a very cool card
Fun to go through cards like that. Great video! BUT none of them were my favorite card... all tied for last!
That was a lot of fun-thanks for going through those with us! Totally worth 25 bucks. That first Sandburg was my fave-you really don’t see those much now.
This is such a cool video. I hope you got your money back. New subscriber here and totally gonna watch it now
Great content, love these cards learning a lot watching this video!
One and a half minutes in and just wanted to say I LOVE these chance boxes! Good luck Jon!
Definitely what brings me enjoyment⚾️
I went to my local swaptmeet found minor league cards of 2 jose canseco cards and Don Mattingly and rookie card of Dave Kingman etc.
Pretty much the fun is searching for psa 10 for common cards which is sometimes harder than you think the pop on certain cards low
Fun stuff! I like hearing the old names from the 80s and 90s. It's also helpful to hear what you find worthwhile in there. My dad left me boxes of cards.
What I liked was the number of HOF'ers in the box. I am putting together a collection of each HOF for each year and some of those Baseball Great cards would be perfect.
I personally hate 94 Donruss…I have so damn many of them. Im a horder when it comes to cards but if I ever throw any of them away the 94 Donruss is 100% going first lol
The good stuff was already picked out. I would be tempted to pick it up too at the chance of something.
I love that Sandberg and Maddux!
The Turk Wendell picture has a much better story. He was nuts. He used to jump the lines to and from the mound, but it was very exagerted. He would come out, draw on the mound dirt, then lick his fingers. Slammed the rosin bag down before facing hitters, then between EVERY INNING he brushed his teeth in the dugout. That picture is of him brushing his teeth in the dugout between innings. Had to be the most superstitious player of all time.
Turk came to Afghanistan on a USO tour with Marty Cordova and some football players and cheerleaders from Dallas. Turk, Marty and I went to dinner together at the chowhall. They were great guys.
You forgot about the black licorice.
Sounds a little insane
Love these superstitious stories...like Wade Boggs eating fruit loops before each game..
I remember him well. Whenever he would pitch, the cameras would be glued on him. I think describing him as "nuts" was big understatement. I like know where he is living now and what he has been doing. Turk's initials were O.C.D.
Fun stuff as always...was a pretty crappy box box but oh well. It was worth a risk.
lots of run of the mill stuff,could be nice addition for collector,no resale value
A lot of sweet cards in that pickup Jon !
I'm a player/team collector and that's the way to go .Hey,if you want to get rid of that David Duval golf card let me know.Great video Jon , thanks for sharing !
Great stuff as always love the Bonds King B and that McGwire, Hack Man Leonard
The Drysdale cards are interesting. They are 1993 Nabisco and part of a set of 6 HOFers (Banks, Drysdale, Hunter , Stargell, B. Robinson, Niekro) Autograph cards you could get via mail with $5 and 2 box tops. I got and still have the Banks. These are interesting because they are not signed and seem larger like cut incorrectly form a sheet. Drysdale passed away during this promo and his card brings a premium, not sure if it is because he didn't finish signing them all, or because his death brought some attention to them. Cool.
That Ghost Busters pin was awesome!!!
would love the Carlton fisk 87 topps.
Following the 1987 season for the Cardinals, Jose Pena was the premier top catcher in baseball going into 1988. For a few years he was the Cardinals' Yadi at the time.
You would have paid close to that for a movie ticket . I'd take the cards any day , more entertaining.
No, it was well worth your $25! I watched the entire thing and of course it’s all about the anticipation😎
It's always fun to find good cards.
this box was well worth the $25! Those mid to late 90s inserts are what I love the most...nice video Jon!
Something is only worth the amount of money someone is willing to pay for it when it comes to collectibles
That was great video! You dont happen to still have Steelers cards?
I enjoy when you find this kind of stuff!
I watch a lot of your videos. I really enjoy them but i just noticed your voice has a John Tesh sound to it. Sounds good keep up the great work
Love your vids, i would be inter in the proctor & Gamble cards and if you have the unopened packs you spoke of. Lmk a price if you want to sell them. My friend larry is trying to fill a set.
You did well I think for $25 but most of those are for bicycle spokes to make the bike sound like it has a motor laugh out loud that’s what we did with them when we were a kid with the common card
Nice variety. Nothing mindblowing but some decent stars. Would be fun to go thru thats for sure.😊
Might find the 1990 Frank Thomas NNOF in there 😂 hope it’s a good deal for $25
The Don Mossi card made it worth the money, he was a handsome man
6:39 Alex Smith isn't a high dollar card but his NFL comeback this past year is nothing short of remarkable. There's videos all over TH-cam about him. It's worth a few minutes checking out even for non football fans. I'll spare details incase you check into it. After seeing what he went through, definitely brings alot of truth to saying nothing is impossible if you put your mind and heart to it.
Love the old Mets cards was surprised to see some of the names lol
Is Erik Jabbs ur brother dude? Yalls cadence is the same
I share the same birthday w you and Favre lol
I'm always intrigued when I find these boxes with toploaders lol
I would love to have the Sosa sports flix. I'm a big Cubs fan
I truly enjoy your Radio Voice!
I enjoyed the video.
Lyle Overbay! Or as I called him, Lyle "O-for the day!"
I wish you would have turned over some of those inserts that she was finding especially the holographic ones some of those could be numbered you'd be surprised...229/2005... It was usually a number followed by act the actual year of the card..
I collect Ryne Sandberg cards and I do not have that one,.... I have never seen it before.
Had lots of that kind of stuff,liked the old Score Gold Rush,looks like run of the mill,good addition for collection,resale no way!
Was wondering if that Topps was the Pujols and Ichiro card😆
I got a store by me that’s selling random thrown together basketball and football packs with lots of prizm cards for $1 a piece
That was rooting for it for you to pull a trout out of that pack bro
If Kurt Loder, MTV News, collected cards - that voice!
Gotta love the hunt!
I see the Bobby Richardson. My number one player I started collecting in 1962. I have 3 of his Rookies. Not in good shape.
I like those old timer great cards
The Mike Schmidt cards were the bait. Hook, line and sinker.
You almost wonder if the seller made a strategic rip in the plastic #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm
Nice . I want the Ty Cobb!!
Quick question are u Eric brother from jabs family’s?
Sky box was always lots more than Topps or other brands. I think the skybox packs were like 2 or 3 times the price of other brands. They were marketed as primo cards but I rarely bought any of their cards due to the hefty price
The Bonds Awards winner...a nice card for sure! You really can't beat the $25 price tag on this box.
Certainly a fun rummage. I'd bite at $25 if I found it. It really makes you wonder what goes on in peoples heads with what they choose to put in card savers lol.
Some people collect for the joy of actually collecting players they like. Just because something doesn't have a ton of monetary value doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken care of if you get joy out of it.
What would finding a NNOF (Frank Thomas) in this box do to your psychi?
I found a binder of mid 90's baseball at a flea market probably 25 pages nothing of any value they wanted 110$ I'd buy that for 25 25 times a day
The Drysdale Nabisco cards should have been signed but he passed away before signing the full allotment and they posted them.. signed its about30 ucks
These other comments are nuts on just $500.. each of those hall of Famer can be worth around that. Just find the buyer. Personally I wouldn't sell. I collected for the love and at the right time. 1973. I collected to 1995, but and this was smart, also backwards to the beginning of cards 1909.. I collected every card of my favorite team. Of course they weren't with many hall of Famers so I was able to get all of them. Chicago White Sox 1948- 2020. And 30 more 1909-47
opened 2 boxes 90 topps looking for the no name on front didnt find it the search goes on
Jon, did you notice the Lyle Overbay card? He's holding a baby
Nice cards love these type of videos
I am working on an 83 Topps set.
A lot of nice Indians cards in this box! Maybe if they go up for auction I can add them to my collection.
Earned a sub from me. Thanks for the free nostalgia
Handling cards like that could make them worthless if not already. If grading scuffed edge would create great value loss.
Clemente led all NL outfielders in errors 4 straight years,while Johnny Callison was leading all outfielders in assists 4 straight years.
Back in the 90's when I was big in collecting a friend of mine came over with a binder he had bought at a garage sale for 10 bucks. The older women was selling off stuff that her deceased husband had left behind and this friend of mine only bought the binder because he knew I collected cards. So I opened it up and the first page had 2 Micky Mantle autographs, 2 Ted Williams autographs, 2 Johnny Mize autographs. 1 Willie May's autograph and 1Hank Aaron autograph and1 Jim Palmer autograph. The 2nd page was all Dodgers, Sandy Koufax rookie and a Don Drysdale rookie and a Maurie Wills rookie all 3 were in mint condition. I asked my friend how much he wanted for the binder and he said 20 bucks. I couldn't get the 20 out of my wallet fast enough. I ended up making over 2 grand off of the binder which I used on my Joe Montana collection.
Good Lord, talk about hitting a Grand Slam! Awesome!
Did you attempt to contact the lady he bought it from?
@@CapAnson12345 nope. Why would I?
@@bobwilliamson9562 If you have to be told why your not to bright.
@@dmac7403 - Do you mean “not too bright”, genius?
I feel like there was at least $25 worth of cards, and I would have purchased this box. I loved this video and did not think it was too long.
I'd be interested in buying the Ricky Henderson cards if you want to sell them.
They were selling the penny sleeve for 99 cents and the Tony Pena for a penny.
At least you got some good kindling
Love the Juan Gone's!
Nice Donnie Baseball's!
Turk Wendell brushed his teeth constantly. It was his gameday ritual or something
This is basically that antique store getting rid of their trash from their personal collection
1 question where?
