  • This weekend I came across a flea market vendor with a box of mixed sports cards for $20. I saw some decent rookie cards on top, so I decided to try my luck - let's see what we can find.

    Dude, that box is the biggest steal I have ever seen. The guy must have died and the widow sold it? Amazing box of cards!

    Wow this was a nice one for $20! I love mystery boxes. Steve Young rookie was nice surprise, and those 86 fleer basketball are also sweet finds. I just made my way through a 40 pound mystery box, hopefully will have the highlights up soon

    Wow! You'd never find a box like that in the Seattle area! I'm going through a box that I purchased off Ebay, listening to you and my head snapped at Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull. Then you said George Brett and that was it! I had such a crush on George when I was 12 (ages me haha). I try to collect everything George ❤

    1960 Jim Kaat! I’m trying to collect a 1961 Topps set. Commons weren’t too tough (except the high numbers) but Kaat and Gibson and . . . .are a lot tougher. If your willing to deal I’m willing to listen.

    That 1 Jordan baseball card easily just paid for the box. Plus the Griffey Jr. , Strawberry and Clemens rookies. The hits came one after another. At 58:27, you passed over a 97-98 Topps Kobe Bryant 2nd year card worth about 60$ raw in mint condition. This is just crazy. Steve Young rookie. Good god.

      No doubt. I remember finding my grail card. Wayne Gretzky rookie. I KNEW I had it. Somewhere. I had the 10,000 ct boxes. My 2nd box BAM. Along with a Marcel Dionne rookie. Then 10 yrs later it was stolen. Advice to teens DONT TRUST ANYONE. A "friend" ripped me off.

    Anyone ever see or have the "Topps Big" before?.. I'm not talking about the sideways cards from the late 80's, the cards I'm talking about were issued in 1984 & 85 - they looked exactly like the regular issue but they were gigantic, perhaps 4.5 x 7.5??? maybe an inch larger... I always thought they were really cool..... Nice Kaat and Clemens RC, I bet you weren't expecting that to happen, lol

I was curios to what you can buy at a flea market in the states. Here in Newfoundland we don't find anything like that. So yeah, Happy Birthday, and good luck in the future in finding awesome boxes like this. Great video, my man!

    The A Rod downfall officially began when he took the $$ and left us up here in Seattle for Texas (not to say I blame him cause who wouldn’t have taken that much money). But a young Seattle Mariner A Rod showed the potential to be one of, if not the greatest player in baseball history. Too think how his career could have panned out had he never left Seattle
