Pete LaCock is the son of TV Game-Show Host(60's and 70's), Peter Marshall of "Hollywood Squares," you may not recall? The 1975 Topps card of Ted Simmons w/long hair is my favorite bb card of the 70's! His nick-name was "Simba" after the Japanese cartoon Lion......man, you are so lucky to come across a big box of old sports cards like that! Wow! Hey I appreciate you allowing us to go through the whole box vicariously. Thank you sir....
Lovin this video! I went to a new card shop by me today. Owner had several lots he bought and didn’t go through yet. Most was junk wax. One box of opened 1993 topps I went through, and in the last ten cards pulled the Jeter. A little off center and one slightly dinged corner. But it was like finding gold!
If there was ever a sports card find that takes me back to being a kid in the 1970’s, this is it. What a great find, so many players that know one remembers unless you were there. Great video and great sports card find… 👍
Len Randle battle cry card Jem mint 10😋 that was fun. Lots of favs. You could totally randomize those and put them in your card 25cent dispenser at your shop. Glad you found this treasure box 💥⭐️
Last comment, Im going to watch a second time because you have taken me back to my childhood!!! Thanks again Jon!!! CONGRATS and best wishes for your card shop!!!
An awesome box. Watched the whole episode. You have an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time. I was enjoying the 1970 baseball cards.
Damn, that's some great stuff. I mean just to find a huge box like that with all the vintage stuff, and casually pull out an EDDIE FREAKIN' MURRAY ROOKIE? Nice. Even in it's condition. Then TWO Winfield rookies??? Jim Rice's 2nd year card in Vintage Beckett was listed at $25, it used to be $4, that's how much cards have risen, and then you pull his rookie...... Mike Schmidt's 2nd year is even better, nice. Bubba Smith the famous actor of Police Academy fame, I have one of his cards. Congrats! What a find........ Thank you for showing!
What a great box ! So many great cards... HOFers, skeletor, Pete Lacocks, Dick Poles, a stachless Rollie ! I was really hoping to see the Washington Padres errors in the last stack but the Winfield were great !
Excellent!!!! You are MOVING in the right direction Jon!! I had to stop the video to comment. I NEED all the Dallas Cowboy cards you can spare !!! Seriously if you think of selling them or perhaps in an upcoming auction? VERY NICE! Thanks for the fun Jon!!!
Epic video, thanks Jon. The flashbacks were mind boggling....Ill be watching this numerous times. Rick Auerbach "Theres a guy who can give Skeletor Jim Wohlford a run for his money" 😅 😅 Now thats entertainment, as they say. 11/10
Great cards from my childhood. So many great cards, did see 2 Willie Mays cards passed over. His last card 1973 World Series card #473. Great job covering both sports. Thank you.
That was awesome. Made it through the whole thing :) Favorite card was the Eddie rookie. Winfield's Carters and, Palmers were pretty sweet as well. That box Is a set builders dream. Also noticed a John Riggins. Riggins rookie?
I noticed that the last card of the next to last stack you went through, you had a 1980 Bob Owchinko. Now you can see if you can figure out what the heck is going on with his eyes. I posted my card of him I've had since 1980 in the group.
Fun to go through the 1970s! I had four Nabisco autograph cards from 1994 that were available through mail-ins (Bob Gibson, Jim Palmer, Duke Snyder and Frank Robinson), but PSA Registry said there were other autos like Mazeroski that were distributed at local events.
OK one more. Randy White rookie or Robert Newhouse. Still loved all of them and every minute of the video. OH and the 73 Ryan OC I love the OC cards for some reason. T he eckersley RC is very nice too
great find Jon, I was checking them out and was looking for some that I didn't have basically the cards from the 60's I was not 100% sure I had so I can say I have 99.9% of them. still a great find. anyone would love to have them in their collection.
Those were Ken Anderson Rookies... 22 minutes in and Im guessing everybody is waiting for you to get to that Chicago Bears section of cards!! fingers crossed its in good condition!!!
Very cool! Those two 1979 Topps Mitchell Page cards are really interesting. The copies on COMC don't have the weird printing stuff on them that yours has and BaseballCardPedia doesn't list that card as having any variations. A new variation?
Winfield! How much for the box? I’ve had a few chances in the past to get some 70’s. Prob same shape or worse but I didn’t want to throw a lame offer. People tend to over value them when pretty beat up.
Now THAT was pure joy! I've found cards that way too. but wow that box is FIRE! Surprised to not see any Walter Payton cards. (Unless you scanned over then while I was getting snacks lol) Also I would be very interested in all those checklists! I love those.
Hello sir, I actually had a very similar situation happen with me in which I acquired a lot of cards from all sports. From the late 60s up to the late 90s. I haven’t gone through them all but already would like to liquidate them. Is there an easier solution other than eBay or Amazon? Taking all the pictures and stuff is literally kicking my butt lol. But if I want to get rid of them I don’t see any other way. Any suggestions anyone??? I dunno 🤷🏾♂️
Oh man, the rock tumbler!! I had that and would sell cleaned up shiny rocks to neighborhood kids until they figured it out. 🤣 Digging all the vintage Jon, nice pick ups!! Still don’t know why Carew cards aren’t worth more, 7 batting titles and HOF. And don’t leave out Jazz 😂😂
Cool box. You passed over a Mel Blount rookie. An all time great CB for the Steelers. Sadly didn't see the Jack Lambert (1976) or Jack Ham (1973) rookies. Lambert is on my short list to pick up.
Other Cowboys rookies in there are Harvey Martin and Robert Newhouse. All those 1976 football I was sure you would find some Payton rookies however still a cool box.
That Autographed Bill Mazeroski from Nabisco is the real thing, It's just missing the lose "certificate of authenticity." At the time of the Special offer from Nabisco, I ordered 2 Don Drysdales( he just passed on at the time), and I received both of them! I knew some people who didn't receive any! I remember It was back in 1994 or 95'?... They were booking for 90.00 bucks at the time. Hope my input enlightens U?....
Nice snipe I remember I found a huge box like that, so cool man,are you going to sell any of them and do you think you have any Grade worthy or all mid level and under, so cool though,I enjoyed watching brought back memories thanks for sharing John
Manny Sanguillen was with the Pirates from 1967/1969-1976 then the A's in 1977 and then finished the last 3 years with the Pirates. 78-80. On the Dock Ellis game which some dispute, he was very wild and walked 8 and the batters were a little afraid because the ball was everywhere. He didn't think he was supposed to be pitching that day.
Love this, whenever someone says to me "Hey, I've got some old baseball cards...", it's always a box full of 1991 Fleer.
thats old now
The ugliest Fleer set.
Although the 95 edition really tried
Ur mom's old@@thor800
You make me want to hit up flea markets. Keep it up

"Ed Marinaro" Literally my 8th Cousin...
Watched the entire episode. This was awesome, thanks for sharing, and thank you to the collector also if ur watching,
Dave Winfield rookies- favorite
At 2:55 Ed Marinaro was on a lot of 80s tv shows. And he was the coach on Blue Mountain State, which was freaking hilarious.
24:56 Fred Dryer was Hunter from the tv show... Hunter.. lol
50:12 Alex Karris was the dad on the show Webster.
that was fun to watch.
6th card, Ed Marinaro became an actor and played on Hill Street Blues, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, etc.
Most enjoyable video I have watched all week.
I made it through the whole video! What a wonderful find. I am definitely jealous. Love the vintage Nolan Ryan cards. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
This is a dream of mine to come across someone’s OG collection from the 70’s, congrats, I hope you do it justice and sort it really well.
Me too!
@ 35:12 Gnarly . and 40:14 whew . and @ 45:41 squeeze one .and Doc Ellis @ 1:03:25. Good times Great cards / 1975 Nolan Ryan was my fav. Thanks !
What a find!! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm crying at a couple of those miscuts. Literally laughed out loud.
45:22 Painted cap Mike Paxton similar to the Greg Minton issue.
That Steve Garvey is worth a little bit, the 74' with the souls in the background
Lovin this video!

Those OJ Simpsons are killer cards!
I'm still looking for them.
Awesome cards! I have some early 70s topps baseball nice condition too. I'd love to own that Jerry Remy rookie.
It would've been nice if they had hockey cards too. 60s and 70s hockey cards are very hard to find!
Great find! And that 73 Miscut Nolan is amazing!
Len Randle battle cry card
Jem mint 10😋 that was fun. Lots of favs. You could totally randomize those and put them in your card 25cent dispenser at your shop. Glad you found this treasure box 💥⭐️
Great little collection of cards. Lots of baseball greats and football and I think I saw an Oscar Robertson basketball card in there. Awesome!
Last comment, Im going to watch a second time because you have taken me back to my childhood!!! Thanks again Jon!!! CONGRATS and best wishes for your card shop!!!

That 74' Steve Garvey is worth a little...especially in a higher grade...I love the background it does look like souls or apparitions....
Fred dryer played the police detective in the 70s show hunter.
Excellent!!!! You are MOVING in the right direction Jon!! I had to stop the video to comment. I NEED all the Dallas Cowboy cards you can spare !!! Seriously if you think of selling them or perhaps in an upcoming auction? VERY NICE! Thanks for the fun Jon!!!
Wow that is very cool. I’m a Viking fan so that was sweet seeing all the Minnesota nostalgia
Epic video, thanks Jon. The flashbacks were mind boggling....Ill be watching this numerous times. Rick Auerbach "Theres a guy who can give Skeletor Jim Wohlford a run for his money" 😅 😅 Now thats entertainment, as they say. 11/10
Great cards from my childhood. So many great cards, did see 2 Willie Mays cards passed over. His last card 1973 World Series card #473. Great job covering both sports. Thank you.
I enjoyed the weekend recap!
Wow!!! Sure nice to see Rooftop Thompson!!! I seen him blast a homer Out of Tiger Stadium!!! Yeah
WOW GREAT PICK UP
All those cards were around when started. Might have bored some people but I loved it. Ken Stabler cards were my favorite. Thx
That was awesome. Made it through the whole thing :) Favorite card was the Eddie rookie. Winfield's Carters and, Palmers were pretty sweet as well. That box Is a set builders dream. Also noticed a John Riggins. Riggins rookie?
A lot of sweet Indians and Browns card I'd like to have in my PC. Awesome box of cards Jon!
Topps still using the same cut machines! All my 70s are cut simular. So hard to find 9s and 10s, damn near impossible. 😆 🤣
Great box of cards.
I noticed that the last card of the next to last stack you went through, you had a 1980 Bob Owchinko. Now you can see if you can figure out what the heck is going on with his eyes. I posted my card of him I've had since 1980 in the group.

Awesome find buddy
Would love to find a box like this without even looking! Nice score man
U put that Oscar Gamble aside….iconic bush under hat card. Great vid bro
OK one more. Randy White rookie or Robert Newhouse. Still loved all of them and every minute of the video. OH and the 73 Ryan OC I love the OC cards for some reason. T he eckersley RC is very nice too
Didn't know mike Rowe collected cards
Dude I would 100% be down for a box of cards like that. It’s hard enough for me to find vintage commons for sets. That box was right up my alley.
@44:26 Bob McAdoo Rookie is probably worth $30-50
Not boring because it’s vintage cards.
great find Jon, I was checking them out and was looking for some that I didn't have basically the cards from the 60's I was not 100% sure I had so I can say I have 99.9% of them. still a great find. anyone would love to have them in their collection.

Awesome cards!!
Great finds!!!
Very cool! Those two 1979 Topps Mitchell Page cards are really interesting. The copies on COMC don't have the weird printing stuff on them that yours has and BaseballCardPedia doesn't list that card as having any variations. A new variation?
Al Kaline was my favorite along with all of the Tigers.
When you mentioned you have so many, you may as well start set-building..
Oh yeah. That needs to happen.
Wow. Amazing Find Jon! Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for the box?
Also, you skipped over Willie Mays last card (52:33)
Awesome box, I hope to come across someone selling a box like this.
Winfield! How much for the box? I’ve had a few chances in the past to get some 70’s. Prob same shape or worse but I didn’t want to throw a lame offer. People tend to over value them when pretty beat up.
Theres about 150-200 cards in there i would add to my pc. Very cool
i watched this whole video jon awesome pick up just out of curiosity what did you pay for that box
Now THAT was pure joy! I've found cards that way too. but wow that box is FIRE! Surprised to not see any Walter Payton cards. (Unless you scanned over then while I was getting snacks lol)
Also I would be very interested in all those checklists! I love those.
Really nice find . I would be interested in buying the red's lot if you want to sell.
Relived my youth. That’s what my box of cards would have looked like.

Great base stealer earlier,his batting stancevwas something else,All-Star at 2 positions,I guess he didn't do enough,tongue in cheek!
Ed Marinaro was in Hill Street Blues.
Cool box. You passed over a Mel Blount rookie. An all time great CB for the Steelers. Sadly didn't see the Jack Lambert (1976) or Jack Ham (1973) rookies. Lambert is on my short list to pick up.
Pete LaCock’s Dad was Peter Marshall host of Hollywood Squares.
What's that mini card thing that you left in the box at the end?
that was an amazing box of cards!
Other Cowboys rookies in there are Harvey Martin and Robert Newhouse. All those 1976 football I was sure you would find some Payton rookies however still a cool box.
Nice find. Thought we were gonna see a George Brett rookie.
What about that last small card. Those wonder bread cards took a beating.
That Autographed Bill Mazeroski from Nabisco is the real thing, It's just missing the lose "certificate of authenticity." At the time of the Special offer from Nabisco, I ordered 2 Don Drysdales( he just passed on at the time), and I received both of them! I knew some people who didn't receive any! I remember It was back in 1994 or 95'?... They were booking for 90.00 bucks at the time. Hope my input enlightens U?....
Sweet cards, will you be selling some of these in team lots on eBay? I would be interested in the twins or Vikings cards.
Love those years! Too bad the Walter Payton rookie card wasn’t in there!
Nice snipe I remember I found a huge box like that, so cool man,are you going to sell any of them and do you think you have any Grade worthy or all mid level and under, so cool though,I enjoyed watching brought back memories thanks for sharing John
More 3 Bros and a card store coming up? Oh baby
That is a great box. Any chance you want to get rid of the commons? If so what's your price? Lots of TTM fuel in that box.
I saw a Bob McAdoo card in the basketball stack. He's a former MVP and one of the NBA 75 team.
Hey if you ever want to get rid of all the cubs u have this box let me know..and thanx for videos there great..
Ed Marinaro, one of the first cards, became a well known tv actor.
Hey John can I buy those doc ellis cards?? That legendary no hitter has me mesmerized I wanna pc him
You have some ABA cards!
I used to work with Bombo Rivera's niece. She always spoke highly of him
That Devon White makes it all worth it! Lol
At work I was sorting through an old box and it was grossly filled with mouse poop. I pulled anything of value and dumpstered the rest
I saw several 1976 Topps Robert Brazile #424 Rookies. He’s in the HOF.
George Blanda’s rookie card is 1954 Bowman.
Made it through
I hope you give that guy more money...
Manny Sanguillen was with the Pirates from 1967/1969-1976 then the A's in 1977 and then finished the last 3 years with the Pirates. 78-80.
On the Dock Ellis game which some dispute, he was very wild and walked 8 and the batters were a little afraid because the ball was everywhere.
He didn't think he was supposed to be pitching that day.
It's funny I don't like the Topps 70s designs, except the 75s. Love the Rice rookie, the Ryan and Rollie.
..."Manny Sanguillen, pre Bucos".....that was after he was on the Bucs.
Are you willing to sell the double cards? I would be interested.
The traded sets might hold some value
