Great pick up. I really enjoyed this video. It's so interesting watching modern guys dabble in vintage. Comping vintage cards is a completely different ball game. You can never go wrong grabbing Babe Ruth cards
Don is such a great guy and the hobby is lucky to have him. He’s honest and I can say that because since I was a kid he always treated me good. I’d walk down Brighton ave with my allowance and it was always a great time for me. Thanks always Mr. Don. You are a legend
I really hope your kiddos know and appreciate how good they have it. That kind of money available to them and spent on them. When I was growing up we couldn't even afford new shoes let alone thousand dollar cards and extravagant card shows. Lucky guy! Nice Bambino!
As a fellow die-hard card collector, your videos are VERY motivational. There are SOOO many cards on my wish list and I know I WILL have them one day. Thanks !!
Honestly, a part of me would rather have the lesser of the 2. That bubble above his hand really takes it away from me. That was all my eye could focus on. Also, if you find the last Ruth but only in an SGC slab, pick it up and cross it over. Easy way to complete the collection at a much lesser cost.
The nationals was soooo freaking big, me and my buddies would always forget where we saw a certain card. After a day or so into the show, we realized there were numbers hanging up in the ceiling so you know where you were at(like isle 300, 400 or 1100....etc).
When I went to the nationals last year they gave me a floor plan of all the table numbers listed in the exact layout of the overall setup which I thought was great. This would essentially be my floor map. I used a pen to mark my path along the route that I walked to systematically walk through it vs randomly walk around. If there was a card of interest, I circled the booth table number on the sheet and the name of the card on the back of the sheet. It took me a good 2 full days to cover the entire area.
I personally like the 15K Ruth. Overall eye appeal was nicer. On vintage lower to mid grade cards I would rather have even wear on all four corners than have three nice corners and one creased corner. The creased corner just pops out. Also the 17k Ruth looked like it had some kind of bubble right in the middle that was a bit distracting. Just my opinion. Nice card though
1. Yes, do in fact check out Market Movers everyone! 2. That Babe Ruth is 🔥 3. Yes, BUY THE DIP 4. Geoff did that box battle dirty at the end there 😂 so many emotions
I wonder how much security there is in and around an event like this. People are walking around with bags containing thousands of dollars in cards and cash.
Growing up in the 80's, I thought that when I became a working adult, I'd be able to buy any card out there. But since then all the card values have gone up an extra 0 or two at the end (like $1500 cards becoming $15000). Still can't afford them.
Yeah man good luck trying to negotiate down on any significant vintage card. Doesn't matter what the "market is on them". Those dudes won't want to budge much on their prices, period. Gotta premium up if you want it.
7:20 - It never ceases to amaze me when people put pricing stickers directly on slabs. It annoys me when it's on a $50 card, but a $19,500 card? Are you kidding me?
Geoff, I really enjoyed this video the most from your channel. It captured the pure fun of the National. The end segment with your son Reaves and his friend really resonated with me. I remember being a tad older than Reaves when I attended the 1991 National in Anaheim, and had the same fun and chemistry with a friend as displayed by Reaves and his friend. (I think you and I may be around the same age.) Seeing that end scene brought immediate flashbacks to the 1991 show and moments with my friend with whom I have not seen in years. I was worried that you would miss out on the Babe Ruth card when you came back for it. One of the worst feelings at a convention is when you come back for something later and it gets swooped on by another collector. Glad you got #3 of the four Ruths. Hope you get #4 in your next video. Thank you for posting this video. Great content.
The 1st seven seconds of this video pretty much sums up this years national. Just add no parking and $80 for internet and you have the 2022 national. Also add walking around in the ghetto with all the cash and cards you brought to get to the convention center.
Amazing card Eye appeal so much better. Then other. Hopefully next year is back in Chicago and I'm not to much worse health wise. These Videos give me chills let alone being their. Anyways amazing 👏
Your the best Geoff every time your first to post some of the best content! I’m soo excited about this years National, can’t wait to view all of the good content
Yea only a fool is holding super expensive cards now lol. The last few years is when to sell. Down the road a lot of these cards will be down a fortune I wouldn't want to be holding them long term lol Some may go up but most will come down hard.
I just went to Houston card show and got all Dameon Pierce rpa 1/1 signed all on card auto with gold ink. The cards look incredible. How much you think it’s worth? Absolute 1/1 rpa , shield absolute 1/1 I got it signed.
Att....Midwest card collecters..ya'll know that..their are almost no Hobby/card shops..until now Rk collectables in Coralville ...I go there at least twice a week...and you should too +++
At 17k on it…. Would you do 15.5? Geoff always taking peoples any glimmer of hope at a profit away. I’ve lost count how many videos I’ve watched and the seller is just happy to make money back on a card
Don’t get this rational. Upselling grades cause they “look more like another grade” if that’s the case, I’m selling all my PSA 9’s as 10’s from now on. How can we have consistency in the market if this is how we’re setting prices? Also what’s the point of even grading?
Haha don't worry I got 2. Very good dad move and letting your son make his own deals and learn to make some mistakes if he makes a bad deal. I see alot of parents in the hobby take the fun out for the kid doesn't seem like you do.
Nice video mate Do you think jordan poole will going up anytime soon I invested in a tone of rookies and also the onyx vintage blue auto im setting on 15 out of 50 and i have the black auto 2 of 5 jersey number so 16 all up . Could you please give me some advice what to start picking up thank you sir

Agreed!

Couldn’t help but smile at the end there when u said, “don’t worry I got two.” Anyone with kidS understands that completely. Great video
Great pick up. I really enjoyed this video. It's so interesting watching modern guys dabble in vintage. Comping vintage cards is a completely different ball game. You can never go wrong grabbing Babe Ruth cards
Lol clutch move at the end knowing you'd likely need two of those exact same cards. Congratulations on your incredible Ruth Goudy pickup!!🍻
Haha thank you!!

you can tell that gentleman at the end has been doing this a while. He took that stack of cash without even a little excitement haha. I would lose it.
Thank you for post this I was unfortunately not able to go due to myself and my family getting sick.
Hope u guys feel better
Get well soon brother
Hope you get better soon!!
Nice Ruth! Congrats.
Thank you for letting me and my friend get a chance to talk to you today at the national.

Kinda what I was thinking. It would just brother me
Yeah the thing on the head is bad but I guess the yellowing is actually good

Love when you show vintage !! Great ruth cards dream cards for any vintage collector 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great video. Love seeing the pursuit of vintage sets. Good luck on getting #4.
That 2.5 Ruth was sweet but they are both iconic cards. Congrats on the purchase.

i like that he lays the law down on the kids.
Love this video , I was planning on flying over from the UK for the national this year but couldn’t make it work. Love the content.
Awesome man!! Good Memories were made there!! Glad your having fun 👊

No kidding! So true.
You've got to win the lottery, with a lot of the stuff nowadays? 😧
Always feels great walking into a card show! Especially the national. Which I have never been.
Pretty amazing those kids are so responsible with the cards ... good job dad .. and mom lol
I agree. it's inspiring that he doesn't have some bad acting kids.
@@MrHarco77 responsible to at young age to be able to make the deals they do in there own
congrats, THESE ARE THE KIND OF CARDS YOU SHOULD BE BUYING GEOFF! HAVE A BLAST!
Yeah man good luck trying to negotiate down on any significant vintage card. Doesn't matter what the "market is on them". Those dudes won't want to budge much on their prices, period. Gotta premium up if you want it.
To really complete the run of 1933 Goudey Ruths, you also need the 1933 Goudey Sport Kings #2. Good luck in the chase!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You are so nice to kids! Thank you

If it's vinyl it comes right off with no residue. Paper is a mess
I would grab the green 2.5. it was a beautiful card
That Babe Ruth is awesome! The overall look is impressive.

where you getting all this money?
Your the best Geoff every time your first to post some of the best content! I’m soo excited about this years National, can’t wait to view all of the good content
Thanks!
I had the Ruth in a 4.5. Paid $2250 for it in 2001
I love watching you negotiate and walk thru these card shows, great channel dude! Your a class act.
It’s crazy to hand someone over a piece of paper with a picture on it, incased in plastic for 16k.
I think sports card and Pokemon market is huge bubble
Yea only a fool is holding super expensive cards now lol. The last few years is when to sell. Down the road a lot of these cards will be down a fortune I wouldn't want to be holding them long term lol
Some may go up but most will come down hard.
The eye appeal factor for vintage is a thing…. Need a Eye Appeal grade grading company 😂
I just went to Houston card show and got all Dameon Pierce rpa 1/1 signed all on card auto with gold ink. The cards look incredible. How much you think it’s worth? Absolute 1/1 rpa , shield absolute 1/1 I got it signed.
I can’t find part two did you complete the set? Did you get the last card???
That Ruth is nice 👌 😀 congrats Geoff 👏🏿
Thank you!
Looks like the last one sold on July 21st for $12,500……appears $16K was high….but nice pickup!
Where did you find that at?
I can’t believe I just watched a deal go down for a $16K card😱
Love this video, super fun!
Pulled a Ray Allen Pink wave Prizm from a 21-22 Prizm, can’t find one on eBay to compare price too? Any ideas on how to find a comp??
Great pick up , That color is unreal !
love the vintage! Jackie Robinson next?
thanks for the showing of this awesome event. Jesus bless
Great eye appeal on that card for the grade. Good pickup
Wow...
That was a straight NO ! .. I like that.
I'm working on my 1983 Wayne Krenchicki set. Tough to find but the price is right ⚾👍
I bet it would be harder to find Wayne than Babe at the National :)
Curious, but what's the story about him for you? Totally an odd player to name, so I assume there's more of a sentimental reason behind it.
Att....Midwest card collecters..ya'll know that..their are almost no Hobby/card shops..until now Rk collectables in Coralville ...I go there at least twice a week...and you should too +++
Thanks for the great content! It allows us french collectors to get a taste of the National 👌
Another great video and love the investment in vintage cards. For a second I thought Geoff was going back to the carnival game.
Awesome buy! Loves the vid and have a great time at the National. Go Gators! 🐊
At 17k on it…. Would you do 15.5? Geoff always taking peoples any glimmer of hope at a profit away. I’ve lost count how many videos I’ve watched and the seller is just happy to make money back on a card

Looks like your internet was working. I remember 90's cards shows and there wasn't 17,000 total in value.
Love your channel! Your are the man!!! One day I’ll work myself up to being able to go to the national
Complete that Will Grier rookie rainbow yet?
What a pick up. That Ruth is a a beauty.
Loving the content!
Is ebay accepting vault submissions at the show?
Great vid I was going to go to
The National but we had a family
trip.
Fantastic video and fantastic Ruth card.
I had no idea Rob Schneider sold cards. Guess there is a dip in movies too.
What a beauty. Hard work and brains gives you these moments--congrats!
Thanks for the content. Awesome video.
Yeesh.. I could pick apart the bad negotiating and ending price paid, but IYKYK.
@11:32 the kid on the right - just dang
Looking forward to these upcoming videos
Nice. Dealer weathered the sweat of the camera crew. That has to help sometimes.
Nice video mate
Do you think jordan poole will going up anytime soon
I invested in a tone of rookies and also the onyx vintage blue auto im setting on 15 out of 50 and i have the black auto 2 of 5 jersey number so 16 all up . Could you please give me some advice what to start picking up thank you sir
@@BringingTheHeat-VBC 😂
Do you have to pay NJ sales tax on big purchases at the National?
That’s my kid in the Garza jersey! Go Hawks!!
What was the name of the vendor you purchased from, is he online?
Was it a good idea to tell the dealer you are trying to complete a set instead of just telling the dealer you want that Ruth card & no back story ?
Do you have your eye on any cards of NASCAR drivers?
Congrats, Geoff. Sweet card!
Good taste in cards. I have a Beckett 10. .2018 optic holo..Josh allen...pop 2. MONSTER CARD...

ISO a good app to upload and sell cards?
HELP: what’s that backpack/slab case that Geoff is using???
Firebox Cases, but they are often sold out. Zion Cases is another option.
Thanks!! 👍
Awesome card in good condition.
Does anyone know the brand of the backpack Geoff has in this video?
Amazing purchase
Very nice pickup 👌
congratulation on the pickup
