Honestly, that too me would be a dream come true to go through penny boxes. I mean how awesome of the finds you found. I would be like you and spend hours doing this. I thought I was getting deals at $.20 to $.25 per card. I think it is awesome you show so much love for collecting cards because I share that love like you do. I almost want to go to Florida now just to see your card shop. I could enjoyed the entire video from start to end. Thanks for sharing my friend and Happy Collecting!
@@RememberTheGreatsSports Thanks for watching! When you’re paying .01 per card you always feel like you get your money’s worth. Part 2 should hopefully be coming out later this week. More fun cards in that one as well! Keep enjoying the hobby!
Wow, what a haul!!!! Love the minor league cards. I remember Dotson, he was a staple for the Sox when I collected. The Eric Show is an all time card. Love Sportflics. Great SI cards. Magic! Amazing variety. Nice rookies of Carter and Brown for a penny. Atwater and Thomas too!
@@zachandporter A really fun and random mix. That’s what I really liked about it. And glad someone else around here remembers Dotson other than me. Haha
Awesome video and cards Mr Dime Box Discoveries. I wish they had a place like that where I live. Have a good Saturday and weekend to you and until your next video ✌️ Mr Dime Box Discoveries.
Man, I would spend hours going through penny boxes, full of stars like that. Watching your videos has influenced me to start looking for odd ball sets. I am currently working on the 1981 Drakes Big Hitters set and have started my University of Tennessee and Knoxville area collection. Keep pumping out these fun and awesome videos!
Well, I spent about 10 hours over 3 days, so yeah, I spent a lot of hours. Haha. The oddballs are great! And that Drake’s set is really cool. I finished it last year. And I lived in Knoxville for 3 1/2 years, covering UT, HS sports and the Tennessee Smokies. Some great VFLs to collect, as well as some Knoxville guys like Phil Garner, Todd Helton, Ed Bailey, Lane Thomas (I have a story about his draft that I might have told before, but I can’t remember), Trey Cabbage, Nick Senzel, Bill Bates, Chad Pennington, Randall Cobb and so many more! A LOT of great guys there.
Hey man, shoot me an email with your address to dimeboxdiscoveries @ Gmail.com and I’ll send you some Knoxville/UT cards to help get you started on your way. I love seeing people collect their local connections.
What?!?!? We go to Sarasota for Spring Break each year. I really like a little shop in Bradenton, but this shop is IN Sarasota!!?!?! Did I hear that right? I need to go there! When you say a penny, you mean actually 1cent per card....that is what is marked as??!?!?! That is sick!!!!!! Blue Breaks, I am going to give it a long look when we get down there! I cant believe I have missed this place! Love the Sportflics! LOvE the Deions!!!
Let me give you full clarification… Blue Breaks has two locations, one in Sarasota and one in Venice. The Sarasota store just opened a few months ago, so it wouldn’t have been around last spring break. And the Venice store expanded about a year ago. Both have penny boxes, yes one cent, but there are a ton more in Venice. But that being said, I spent 2 1/2 hours looking through the penny boxes in Sarasota. They also have good wax selection at both. They have two different websites, one for each location so don’t be confused. But definitely check them out. Also, the quarter boxes are organized by team. And a good selection of $1 cards as well. Hope this helps.
@ Tell them I sent you. It won’t get you anything, and they’ll be confused, but you can certainly do it. Haha. It actually depends which employee you talk to.
Ah man, I’m finally able to enjoy this huge haul you told me about. Holy cow, it’s never ending! I can’t even pick anything out, except for the Brian Hunter stealing bases mask.
That was a fun fact about the guy who was pitching for Ruth's called shot. I am 60 and have lived, breathed, and eaten sports my entire life and I had never heard that fact before, oddly enough
@@gradedcards5516 Root is an interesting guy. Got kicked out of school at like 13 or 14 and went to work with a bunch of different jobs. Ended up working at Hamilton Engine (in Hamilton, Ohio). Pitched on their company team on Saturdays and got noticed by a scout from the St. Louis Browns and got signed from there before ending up with the Cubs.
The Elway autograph looks more like a stamp, where someone would try and send Elway something to be signed, but he didn’t want to personally deal with all the fan mail.
@@larsung200 That could very well be. Good thought. It looks LIKE his signature on his items, but it’s just a little off. I appreciate it for what it is though… a fun knock off. Haha
@@themediamarauder1582 That would make sense. I’m sure Elway/the Broncos were swamped with requests. The discussion was well worth the penny I spent. Haha
@@TimMeakin-fg6pg There are a lot of great shops in Cincinnati, but it really depends on what you’re looking for. For me, and my collecting tastes I like Hooterville Cards in Fairfield, and Ideal Cards and Shoeless Joes on the West Side of Cincinnati. But there are other great ones, and plenty that I have never been to to be able to give any advice on them.
Never cared for getting full bleed cards separated when ripping packs. Will Myers was such a disappointment for the Reds. Great story about Curt Flood. What is the media you have the “Football for. a Buck” on?
I was CERTAIN that Wil Myers was going to have a good year going from Petco to GABP. Boy was I wrong. Lol. I’m reading the book Football For a Buck. Many local libraries have it. Written by Jeff Pearlman. YOU will love the crazy stories. They are nuts. And can you imagine being a HS pitcher and facing Frank Robinson, Curt Flood and Vada Pinson? Haha
Am I missing something? You said the cards were penny cards, but that you paid 6 or 7 cents a card for them. Why would you pay more than they were asking?
A common problem for me in these videos, speaking too fast. What I MEANT to say, but didn’t, is that they ended up costing about .6 or .7 cents per card. For instance, the first day I was there I bought 1,000 penny cards but they told me to give them $7, not $10. And they even tossed in a free box they had some markings on to help me carry them home. Which is super cool on their part. Thanks for asking for clarification. On the third day I bought 300+ penny cards and 4 quarter cards. Should have been like $4+. They said give them like $2, but I gave them $4. I couldn’t in good conscience give them $2 for all that. I’ve dealt with them before, and they are always good to me, so I wanted to be good back, even if it was only an extra $2.
@@dimeboxdiscoveriesthanks for explaining. They must have an astounding amount of cards coming in to their store to be able to keep that many penny cards in stock. I would definitely be there all day. Thanks for posting and looking forward to part two.
Fantastic!!
@@jlbaseballcards Thank you. The fun of looking through the cards was worth the price alone. Better than a movie.

@@macwaxxstacks Sooooo much fun stuff. And some MAC guys heading your way. And isn’t that Brian Hunter card fantastic?! I had to have it.
Soo many cool cards I’ve never seen before! Great stuff. Looking through those penny boxes must have been so much fun.
It really was! It puts me into a zen like mode. The best thing ever. I can’t wait to get back.
Nice haul
@@CraigsCards62 Thank you. A lot of random fun stuff. And more to come in Part 2.
Looking forward to part 2!
Me, too! Lol. I have to finish sorting these cards before I get to part 2. I think the impending snow may box me in and allow that to happen.
GREAT PICK UPS BUDD. NEW SUB HERE. HAVE A BLESSED EVENING. ALOHA
@@Time_2_rip Thanks for the sub and for chiming in. Feel free to join in the conversation anytime. It’s always good to talk cards.

Those 1989 pro set thurman thomas cards were rookies.
@@jessicalightner7947 What’s funny is that I had no idea until last night when I was looking them up online. You are very much correct. Great eye!
I believe that ELWAY may be a stamp that he used Through The Mail TTM
@@themediamarauder1582 That would make sense. I’m sure Elway/the Broncos were swamped with requests. The discussion was well worth the penny I spent. Haha

I mean a penny for star cards in good condition ... you sort of have to grab'em at that price point.
