- Yesterday I bought a box of vintage baseball cards and other memorabilia for $500. Lots of big name stars from the 1950's and 60's and some autographed baseballs inside.

I think that's a "we are family ball" the reason Bert Bryleven ,Willie statgel and Chuck Tanner were only on that team that year. Again a 300 dollar ball.
you did better than I did....respect
I love you
Very nice
I was thinking a 1979 Pirates ball.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY at $500. I would have at least offered the guy $1000 just so I could sleep at night.
Absolute score on this box. I'm only 8 minutes into the video and you've probably pulled 2+ Grand worth of cards already.
Straight up an worth thousands!
Absolutely worth $500, in my opinion. The Vets that I work with LOVE watch you, and your brothers videos. The cards you have are AMAZING! 🇺🇸
Those giant screw-downs were the original anti-theft device for cards. There's no way you're fitting that brick in your pocket 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 it's like a ankle bracelet ( house arrest) 🫣😳🤷🏽♂️
In the 90's our pockets were bigger than now (we wore big baggy jeans) and we had cargo pants (they have a bunch of giant pockets), skating pants and shorts had big pockets too...
The bad thing about the cards in screw downs to beware of before you by them ask if you can take them out of the screw down to check them especially real expensive ones I’ve been involved in this hobby for 60 years the reason being when they came out with them everyone bought them sometimes moisture would get in them and when the cards dried over time they would stick to the glass causing them to tare before you byan expensive card ask the dealer if he can take it out of the screw down for you want to check it it’s the same principle as if you were buying a car it may look great but why would you buy it if you couldn’t start it up take it for a test drive or check under the hood
Especially those super tight jean pockets from the 80s to early 90s. Post 1993 jean pockets, maybe.
The people that stole couldn’t use a screwdriver anyways haha
Nice pickup for $500! Can’t go wrong with all of the HOF’ers!
Great box, I would buy that all day for $500!! The 56 Mays is sweet, the 58 Williams all-star and the Mantles are all worth it
This is an awesome collection..so many great vintage cards...the great thing about opening in another location....another grand opening!!!
I love the older cards!
That's a radical box, dude! I'd pay 500 for that for sure.
You made a killing. Those cards are beautiful vintage cards. I have no doubt that several of those cards would sell for $500. each. Nice purchase. Thanks for sharing. Very exciting. Jeff
Holy hell man, that box was spectacular!! Love these kind of "finds"!!! Awesome video Jon...
Thanks Billy!
Had a blast going through the box. Thank you for sharing. You for sure will make money on it and add to your PC. God bless you my friend
1980 Pirates team ball: Chuck Tanner (sweet spot), Dave Parker, Rod Scurry, Bert Blyleven, Don Robinson(?) Kent Tekulve, Bill Robinson, John Candeleria, Enrique Romo, Ed Ott, Andy Hassler, Dale Berra, John Milner, Willie Stargell, Dave Roberts, Joe Lonnett (3rd base coach).
Imagine Dave Roberts making it to some pee wee baseball practice 🤔🤔 we all sucked in as much information as possible all season long
Those are some awesome cards, bro! Those '58 All-Stars are excellent! Thanks for the show
That box was crazy. Dream box. Love all the old cards and the mantles were pretty.
Great video! You definitely got your money’s worth and then some! Awesome cards! Love that 61 Maris!
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent find my friend! The giant screw down cases are classic and bring back the memories...great video.
Hey I love the youtube community and how people show their passion and love to others such postive vibes
Sorry to hear about your store. I hope you have luck finding another location. That was a cool box. The second-year Brooks Robinson kind of looks like the end of a burp where Brooks is just starting to get a whiff of the foul odor that he just released. The 57 Maz, 61 Maris, 58 All-Star Williams, and 60 Musial all look great! That 3000-hit Molitor button was pretty neat too. Never saw one of those before.
Awesome box! Enjoyed the presentation! No 1959's. My favorite year. Still, lots of great cards! Thanks!
Awesome haul there Jon. Definitely worth the payout
Love this channel! I’ve collected baseball cards since the 80s! I always dreamed I would go to an antique store, swamp meet etc…… and find a big box of vintage cards, but never did !!!!! So cool!
Thanks for watching! I hope you come across a box like that someday soon!
Nice Hank cards and beauty Yount!!!! LOVE the Clemente strips!!! Thanks!
Love the 58s and 61s. Two of my favorite sets. Well worth $500. Hard to find old cards that aren't OC.
Definitely some nice vintage you got there and pretty good deal on them. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Jon, thank ya sir! 🙏
Wow, great buy Jon! Love those mantles. Though I love the 1983 Topps gwynn rookie. I can't get enough of that card.
That 60 Mantle was sweet. Nice pick up for $500
I'd keep all those cards in screwdowns! It's perfect just the way they are! 😍
If you paid 500.00 for these cards it
Was robbery. Lol. The seller clearly had
No clue. What a nice find
I love it. Such a nostalgia trip. Nice cards.
Absolutely worth $500 , all those Mays , Mantle and Koufax's are worth it. That last ball is definitely an old Pirates ball the manager always signs the center front, saw some easy ones Bill Robinson , John Milner that you didn't say . Love your video's !!!
That Pee Wee Reese brings back some memories! I traded it for a Roger Staubach rookie in 1992. I miss it!
Nice score, and if someone tries to rob the store you could probably knock them unconscious with one of those screwdown holders lol
😂
This wasn’t a home run… it was a grand slam!!
Those Mantles alone generate more than $500 in value. I'd be elated with such a buy!
Yea, he under valued the box. The person probably had no idea what they had. Unreal
100% good deal for you. Mantle All-Star card looked great.
Awesome collection score! I think one of the signatures on the Pirates ball is Bill Clinton 😁
You lucky dog! Benefits of owning a card shop. Cheers to your come-up.
LOL! Just look at the thumbnail! I see Mr. Clemente & Mr. Mays slabs staring at me, lol! 100% worth $500- and congrats for really hitting a grand slam! Awesome!
It only took you 3 cards to beat that 500 dollar number. Great find.
Wow,you really find the deals.I couldn't make to your store on black Friday but hope to before the end of the year.
Awesome, hope to see you!
Time to send them to sgc. Great looking cards. Those old screw downs are brutal tho on the surface. Good luck
All those brick size cases and, no brick sized cell 📱! Come on man😂 Awesome pick ups! Time for a PSA or SGC grading video....!
Sweet !!
The HOF cards seem like an easy $3K and the one ball is a Pirates team ball with Blyleven, Stargell, Rod Scurry, John Milner, Dale Berra, and others but I could see a lot of the player names as I mentioned here....great haul and purchase to upgrade your collection and get more than your investment back....thanks for putting this up to see
Yes, great box worth far more than you paid. Loved the Mantles!
Great video, like always. Love your channel
Yeah, that Brooks Robinson card is ridiculous. It looks like he’s saying “awww mannnn, who farted!?” Lol
Great box! Definitely worth the 500. Really enjoyed the video.
Love the Mikey Mantles ! But all are wonderful great buy for sure .
I love the vintage!!
Wow - good luck with relocation... amazing "bricks"!
Holy Lucite! Nice haul Jon 👌
That '62 Mantle was nice. That was a great box of cards to make a deal on
Really sorry to hear about the water issue and all the damage it caused.
Really nice pick up, Jon.
Can we all agree the original owner of this amazing collection would have not sold it for 500 bucks
Exactly. It's all about getting views and comments. I don't know anyone that would sell that box for 500.
Yep, not even close. That was a phenomenal collection by someone that meticulously targeted these gems over time.
He wished he paid 500, although a couple look like reprints
@@mycodclipz9754 I'm not hating on the guy but clearly he's misleading viewers to make that $.
Unless he bought from a dementia patient. And that is just stealing.
Those bricks are always the sign of an unknowledgable collector. Hope you didn’t lose any taking them out of those death traps. FYI the Clemente stickers were a Giant Eagle giveaway in 1990.
It all depends how tight you tighten them and you should still use a sleeve
$500?!?! You should see the asking price of the collections around me, this is an awesome buy! Almost feel bad for the person who sold it to you. Good luck with the new location, hopefully you find a spot soon.
awesome find!!!
Love this.
You killed the price with the first 2-3 cards, and I still saw a Willie Mays in there! And the other legends that followed. Plus the baseballs. WoW................ Just consider those huge screw-down cases big bricks of gold!
Great deal Man!! I wound have paid twice that much for that collection!! Well done
This is a sweet find!!!
AWESOME COLLECTION
You killed it on that deal. That 60 mantle is a banger.
Woowww!!!!!! You got GOLD!!!
Nice video….The baseball looks like a 1977+ Pirates partial team ball…Dale Berra, Dave Roberts, Ronnie Sennett were a few others I could make out…Good luck with it….
Great cards, but the screw downs would worry me. I've had some bad luck with those in the past. Good luck man!
That ball looks to be from the 1979 pirates team
holy molly. There is women on FB selling baseball cards of her deceased brother for $500 and they look to be bunch of 80's & 90's card. The person who sold this collection must have fallen out of their chair when they only got $500 for such old cards. Good on you for getting that deal.
Wow, even I woulda grabbed that for 500 clams. A steal!!
Interesting box. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The screw down cases look better than a psa slab anyways.. nice find!
Box looks great from a distance
On the ball with R.J. Reynolds is former Pirates pitcher, Chris Green. Pitched a handful of games for the Pirates in 1984.
Congrats on the Charlie Sheen rookie auto
90% talking 10% showing thanks for sharing!
Worth it for sure. I saw Dale Berra in there
Im so jealous of the Mantle 60 topps!
Wow, just wow!
Enjoyed the video 👍
and then some bro...nice cards!
Heat up the screwdowns with a hirdryer while removing so they are less likely to stick to screwdowns or u could habe paper loss at corners of they are screwed to tight
I believe I will just use you as my 401k and give you all my retirement money to buy cards. You find some of the best deals I’ve ever seen.
😂
Before I watch the video, I want to remind you as I have been reminded... The Children (of the corn) may be watching.. 😱
The title of this video should be “ Was this box of vintage baseball cards worth $5,000 ?”
Cool story!
some great cards in there
Facsimile autographed balls is such a 90's thing.
Sweet cards.
Amazing pickup! I hope the screwdown cards aren't smooshed and the come out of those things clean. They didn't look sleeved but I'm not sure if that's better or worse with these cases. Heard stories of cards sticking to the acrylic or sleeve they were in. I would've taken the chance on 'em for $500.
I’ve had good luck with those screw downs in the past so I’m hoping for the best
@@thepastisalive Right on, man. I should've known if anyone has experience with those things, it'd be you, haha. Can't say it enough. Awesome haul, man. Some terrific gems in that box.
I definitely would have bought it for the Mantles. Everything else is gravy.
What a weird assortment of junk wax to be mixed in there in the end! Lol
MIght be interesting with the recession hitting. People back to buying the basics. May have to sit on them for awhile.
Nice vid!
Looks great I would have bought it
Those bricks were amazing in the 90s 🤣🤣🤣🤣
