- My brother and I headed to the Uniontown mall to check out a new card store that opened about a month ago. They had a lot a great cards but I feel like the owner stole the show. If you like sports cards and stories, check this place out. Victor is a cool dude and you won’t believe the great deal that he gave me.

The owner was very interesting and it sucks that the new cards of players most will not remember in 20 years are more valuable then a "Henderson " rookie card who i still consider the best leadoff hitter of all time.
Trevor Williams that because topps made a million Rickey's and the newer stuff is less produced and serial numbered...80's,90's and early to mid 2000's are so over produced, that is what caused the prices to dive!
Nice deals!
Those prices are temporary, nothing has changed
Collect what you like. Dont get bummed out by values.
I agree! If the fans of newly printed cards invoke the “today’s cards are numbered” line, just look closely at eBay. They print, and reprint cards like crazy, just as they did in the junk era. Today, they’ll print a “limited run” of cards numbered to 10/20/50, and then print that same exact card numbered to 100/250/500... it’s a gimmick. So collect what you like! For me that’s 50’s-the late 80’s.
That is how a card shop owner should be. Straight to the point, tells you like it is, doesn't jack prices for off-conditioned cards, funny, and last of all, not trying to get anyone to buy cards you may not want (like some of the places you and Jon have been to in the past).
Wow, that guy is a character. I think he was excited to have guests in the store who actually know their way around a stack of cards. I like that he seems to realize that some people need their space and said to let him know if he was bugging you.
Facts
I like this shop owner. He looks like a great owner to talk to.
I'm from Uniontown and I literally live about 1 minute from the mall. Had no idea the store was there. I will definitely be giving him some business.
jefftkey 😂
What is the address for the store
Make a video too.
Man I loved that owner. Also, that store looked EPIC. I could’ve sat in there and looked at the cards and talked to him for hours
Your the type of clients no business owner want,all talk no money
I remember when Nolan Ryan made Rickey Henderson his 5000th strikeout victim. The best leadoff hitter of all time vs the strikeout king.
This is the type of store owner that even if you don’t want anything you’ll buy something just to support him , seems like a really cool genuine guy
Looks like a great shop and an owner with a wealth of knowledge. I grew up in Altoona and went to Juniata Cards as a kid (Now 38) and Steve Springman from there was the best owner I have ever come across. His prices were always fair and at times are cheaper than the giant wholesalers. Has an lcs owner ever discussed with you the cost to open a shop? I’ve been thinking a lot lately that my town, DuBois, PA could use a shop again with the resurgence in the card market.
I know Steve. Great guy. I'm not sure how much one would cost to open up.
Thanks for promoting the hobby and small businesses!
THAT store owner looks pretty cool to hang with and have a couple off drinks and just here some of his stories about collecting and about what the cards are worth good knowledge about players and the price there worth!
He don't drink..
Go ask him out and buy him dinner and a movie while your at it
I'm an English guy who knows nothing about card collecting but I do find these videos fascinating. Makes me want to get involved. This shop owner seems to be the sort that you need around, not blowing smoke, but giving it straight. 👍
Wow, that one of the best card shop I have ever seen, just phenomenal, he has everything!!!
80’ Topps Rickey Henderson will always be one of my favorite cards ever. Sweet pickup 👍
Yes great card I took one to a baseball card show no body wanted it most of these card shop owners r scammers this guy is one out of a million
Mr. Scale 1000000% true! Love Ricky what a talent he was. I idolized him as a kid :-)
Man wish I had a shop like this on my town
Me too
I live 25 min from the Uniontown Mall... never knew this guy opened a shop there. ...i'll be checking it out for sure.
Meeeeeeee Too
That gorgeous Clemente poster on the back wall was OUTSTANDING!
Enjoyed as always! I wish we had card stores in Houston. If I ever make it up to PA, I'm using your videos as a guidebook. Thanks as always Erik!
Good thing I don’t live anywhere near Victor’s store! Lol I’d be living in a shipping container full of rookie cards
That Ricky is a beauty! Nice shop, it's great when the owner is engaging and talkative without being over the top.
Victor and his shop need his very own TH-cam channel. I could listen to him all day. Wut a cool guy. Wut a great shop. I wish him all the success in the world. He’s a proud collector who sells and just tells it how it is. Rare dude.
I just subscribed based on this one episode. I love how you followed a subscribers tip and found gold then let the owner talk his way thru with u guys. Then you got some great steals on awesome cards. It’s a win win win for all. Then u went over the cards at the end and gave shout outs to the shop owner and others. Looking forward to more content like this!! This is exactly wut I need in my little card collecting world. I recommend this channel.
Used to have 3 cards and comic stores in my town, 25 yrs later now theres one 17 miles away from me lol
I always love when a worker at a card shop is a good conversationalist
He seems like a very honest and great guy! Nice find! Both store and The Owner!
Wow. Victor really is an interesting guy. Every town needs a card shop with a Victor in it. Great video. Thx Erik. I'll have to check his website out.
Just the Ozzie, Rickey, and Munson alone I would pay over $30. That is an amazing deal.
I have always wanted a Ricky Henderson rookie, but I never have been able to afford it on ebay and I live 4 hours away from a baseball card shop :(
$100 worth of cards (low end estimate) for $30. Nice
That’s why I like the old cards, ‘59, 60-68. I did put a down payment for a house made up of half my collection. That was 30+ yrs ago, and I’m still in it!
AWESOME video Eman that was a steal for those cards bro.....Real Nice pick ups and the owner looks down to earth as well so thanks for sharing ur pal,Dodgers fan Drew!
Cool guy....has the gift of gab. Be nice to see him appear periodically on your channel. 👍👍
Great video! When I am up in the Pittsburgh area I will definitely go and check it out. Checked out the card shop in Cincinnati that you did a video on last year and had a blast. Spent over 2 hours in that shop.
I'm in California, but next year I'll be fixing a house I bought in Pittsburgh. I can't wait to hit the stores and flea markets!!!
My wife will be staying in Uniontown next week and is going to stop by his store to maybe buy some Red Sox cards for me...im looking for Yaz and Fisk, Betts etc. My wife haa watched some of your videos, including this one. Thanks for the info.
Wow he gave you a great deal. Wish I lived near there but I'm all the way on the other side of the state in northeast pa lol
Great video Mr. Jabs! I like this guy. I don’t live in the NE area. But we need to let’s keep guys like this in business.
Great vid of what looks to be a great store owner was very personable & knew what he was talking about & his prices to you guys for what you purchased were really great anyone in the area i think would be pleased with their visit to this store
Did you ever stop in at TNT collectibles before he closed down? The one in Monroeville use to be my go to in my childhood
Wow, nasty deal for $30!
That man puts cards on the counter with authority! Cool guy
He needs to start a channel ASAP!! He sounds such like a great and awesome dude!!
Owner is 100% right. Cards now value more of the 1/1 or /99 and/or the Variation color vs the greatness of the Player. Even the RC pre Junk Era of HOF players in the 70's are not worth what a Gold /1999 Ohtani was last year. It has become a chase for rarity or scarcity instead of a chase for greatness when collecting cards.
I 'm was a big Thurman Munson fan since the early '70s. Watch a lot of the games on TV in the late '70s. Was sad to hear of his death the day after my 21 birthday. He very likely would made HOF if he had lived.
This guy is a walking legend. Might have to take a trip up there to go talk sports with him.
I really enjoy stores where you can go in and have a great discussion with the owner. I used to spend hours helping my local store owner open wax boxes and sort cards back in the early 90's. I never thought I would get back into it and I owe it all to you and your channel. I was shocked when you opened that Trout 1/1 for me. I am so back into card collecting. When I feel better I will send you some nice old stuff. Thanks again. You and Jon certainly have brought the past alive.
Thanks for the kind words Bill! That 1/1 Trout was a card I'll never forget pulling.
I want to visit this store. Talk to the owner at length, and buy some cards. Very cool shop. Very cool.
Rickey Henderson rookies for $20, id take atleast 5. super cool video, victor is a cool shop owner.gotta get to uniontown mall.
Awesome place. It's nice to have a guy like that behind the counter. Tells it like it is.
This guy is as happy as a kid at show and tell in class. Nice shop if I lived closer id have to check it out.
Great Video!!!! Store owner is a stand up guy he’s is TH-cam Gold !right on!
Grew up at uniontown pa now live in Boston,Massachusetts I used to go the mall.
What an amazing card store! And a straight shooter who runs it. One of the best ever I have seen on TH-cam.
Yay we’re going card shopping! Love these videos
Great deals on all of those rookies!
This guy has such passion for what he does. Erik, I love your videos. Please don’t fall victim to the trap of the flashy TH-cam standard of glitz and clickbait.
Thank you! I like to think that when I do click bait, it's usually true and relevant to the content in the video.
What a interesting guy! He sure did have tons and tons of stuff. I wish we had a shop like that in Kansas City.
The baseball card store on 87th st... that's my go to in KC. There is also a nice one in Gladstone on north oak twy
Sweet pickups! Wish I lived closer, I'd definately visit that store. Thanks as always for sharing.
Owner is a true gem! Is he open the normal mall hours? I only about 2 hours from Uniontown. Thanks
I'm pretty sure he's open when the mall is open.
Well he sold me...ill definitely be visiting him. Sportscards etc in Robinson is a good place to check out as well. The place is a lil cramped but they have some great stuff
You and your brother got amazing deals on the cards bought from that guy. He really seemed enthusiastic and passionate about the hobby plus very personable and knowledgeable. He has a massive inventory including when he showed you the backroom and bathroom full of boxes and totes. I'd keep going back to give him business if I lived close to that mall.
Hey EJ, this is the exact video that makes you stand out from anyone else on TH-cam. I am living vicariously through you and Jon's flee market and card shop finds in the Keystone State. Please keep picking up vintage hall of fame rookies that are not too expensive. I save your videos to watch later so I can enjoy them at night. Btw my extended family is from south eastern PA in the Lehigh Valley (Bethlehem, Allentown and Redding). I hope you are doing well with your battle. Say hello to your family and hey you might want to put libby in commercials she is angleic.
God bless and may you one day be surprised with a 1952 Topps Mickey attic or rummage find.
Dan Mesa
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I hope no one needs to use the toilet. That's some hardcore collecting.
Hello @jabsfamily . I just wanna say that i been watching your videos all day. very interesting. love watching sports card videos, especially Baseball cards. I just wanna say that your doing a great job. love the videos.. Hello from Michigan
do you sell cards? like i said, im new to your channel so idk. i would like to buy that danny meyer/ leon roberts card... im a big Tigers fan, i live 25 minutes from CoMerica park
That rocks that you got that Munson rookie in that lot!.Very Nice!.Pick up Munson's 1971 Topps card if you dont have it..I think it's one of the coolest cards of the 70's...
Everytime I go into Vic's Store I just sit and gab with him for 4 hours and never get to buy anything just because he is avoiding his significant other.... We went to CAL u about the same time and just talk about the good times and our love of sports... This man is awesome!!
Wish I lived closer to Uniontown, I'd swing by. For me, that's going to be about a 2.5 hour drive.
Look in the bathroom! LOL. That guy just got a TON of PR marketing! Jabs Stamp of Approval!
Awesome know the place and the people glad we still have one left here and he is amazing to deal with.
Awesome shop and owner, he will definitely get more people coming through now!
10:42 my brother totally had that Jeff Gordon binder when we were kids, I had a Mark Martin one.
Owner seems like a really cool dude.
Very cool shop
Thanks for the video Erik.
This guy is an awesome store owner anyone in this area (Which I am not) Go give this guy some love and buy stuff. And also chat with this guy he is awesome
I am the person who said about this shop I got so many basketball card off of this store to bad I don't collect base ball I might go there this weekend
I was always told to strike while the iron is hot and sell the cards when they had first came into the market. So I sold my Lebron James Black Refractor rookie for around $475 and the regular Refractor rookie for around $200 after Topps Chrome first came out. 🤷♂️
Great Video and find.. wow!!! thanks for showing us..
Very cool! I Miss my local card shop that was destroyed in flooding over the summer :(
I use to be into collecting baseball cards a lot all in cases and 5 row boxes but stopped caring about them and they are just setting in my closet but I just started watching your videos today and already watched 4 and you earned my sub keep up the great work!!
This guy seems pretty cool. If I lived close, I'd definitely stop in on the regular just to chat.
Quite a store! Great finds!
Take care of yourself and your family.
Saw my Dad's cousin Mike Strahler at 7:16. This guy had great stuff.
Damn, you got a hell of a deal!!!!! Great vid as usual! Love that Munson!
Nice Henderson and Munson RCs.
Victor was great!!
Thanks for saying at the beginning where this place was. This card dealer is real friendly. Thanks for the video. There's a card shop app that finds card store. You can get it right out of Google play store.
Great shop and owner. Loved the story about the guys wanting to come in and make a fortune off of their 80's and 90's cards.
I recommend Sports Cards Etc. in Robinson Twp. The selections are very nice as well as the owner
Wow great deal, gotta love that! Great video as always, thank you. Go Cubbies.
I'm from Cleveland and I am thinking about taking a day trip out there to visit this card shop. Nice video and thanks for turning me onto this shop.
You should open up a shop, Jabs baseball memorabilia shop, somthing like that the hobby needs straight shooting honest people like you Erik.I know i always thought my dream job would be either a baseball,record or comic book shop but i settled for a seat vendor working in various sport, concert arenas
This dude is right. Buy boxes and flip them. Don't hold onto cards based on spec.
LoL i'd bet at some point, this store owner sold about 10 different items that were signed by the master signature forger in the 90's. Amazing documentary to anybody that hasn't seen it. The guy was so f'in accurate, he got paid to sign for Babe Ruth *and* Mickey Mantle.
I'm going to contact Victor tonight, Eric! My kinda dude...
One of the best shops you've recorded in a long time. Great prices
I have that Jerry Rice and it's one of my favorite cards
Rice is truly the G.O.A.T
This guy's baseball card/sports card knowledge is priceless
This guy is the best! I wish I lived close enough to go there
30 is a good deal on the ozzie, morris, dawson, and munson cards alone from what I could see of the ozzie. That card has exploded in 2020, hope Jabs still has a few of those ozzie RCs
$30 bucks!?!?!? I would be going back every week. Need more places like this
I wish I lived close to that mall. I'd be broke though, because I'd buy all the baseball cards I could. LOL. Loved the video. Just like everybody else was saying the store owner was very cool and layed back. Good luck with your shop Victor. Nice share Erik. I enjoy watching your videos. You're are real cool guy Jabs.
Best video ever! That owner was awesome. Hope he gets a TH-cam up and running soon.
The owner was great, thumbs up!
