Collector selling 3 million baseball cards 

He said he kept the Mantle and Jeter and with a collection that size you can imagine what he had of those 2 so he’s probably doing just fine

No they aren’t doing disrespect a true collector

Nah 87 topps

Nope, those are in my basement next to my pile of '88 Donruss.

shoulda waited 3 years and sold at 10x the price

Yup the exact period of time I collected. For some strange reason, I have bought a few packs of Topps this year. I haven't purchased baseball cards since 97ish

You're high. What's happening now is exactly what happened in the 1980's & '90's. People that know nothing about the sport & history of the hobby are driving prices through the roof by snatching up everything they can lay their hands on. I'm currently liquidating my collection of about 500,000 cards because the prices are just too good to pass up. People are paying stupid high prices for junk, all in their quest to "strike it rich!". There's no pot of gold at the end of the current collecting hobby, just a bunch of cards that no one will want in another 5 to 10 years. Greed is killing the hobby again and this time it may be the death of card collecting. After all, they're just pieces of cardboard with pictures on them.

@@ghill628 dude so many boxes of 36 packs that used to go for 5 bucks a box are now like 50 and sooo many boxes of basketball cards that used to be 20-25 bucks a box are now 200-300 a box its such BS ... I used to like buying boxes of packs just to open for fun and keep the cards but now I cant because the prices are just so insane it doesnt even make sense. why people are paying 200-300 for a box of cards makes no sense. they think theyre gonna get a bunch of Jordans and get PSA 10's and thats not the case. theyre paying 200-300 for a box and in the end wont even make 100 back. I dont get why people are being this dum paying these prices????

1000 is nothing

You are 12 now 😄

I have 350,000 cards and my legendary iconic baseball card collection goes on the selling block. 2213 complete sets, 5000 relics, Signed Mickey Mantle, etc.

I have 1700 just started collecting last year. I collect football though

Abraham Morrison .. still have anything for sale?

@Abraham Morrison wow good for you flexing on a kid

Same

DEDICATION THAT MAN

He probably kept all the Tiffany

Asking $758k? Yes. Selling for that amount? No.

Why is one 1990 card so valuable, but most not worth anything? Curious because I have 200 pounds of those “trash” era cards and get tired of hearing how worthless they are (from some naysayers). Guaranteed if I posted when I was going to stack the boxes by the curb, some of those same people would be out there loading them up!

I collect for fun...does that count?

DeFi “collector selling 3 million baseball cards”

Lotsa luck trying to sell them. 100% garbage

Rip

Your a donut his been collecting for 50 odd years cards that are old be worth quite a bit and mantle ones to nice try though

Because there’s not as many kids collecting like they once was . All about Pokémon cards now which is stupid. But baseball cards are starting to pickup again I love collecting.

@@chadmilligan7497 pokemon card arent that bad bro. They teach kids how to math lol

Not many. It really is a dying hobby. You don't own *_THREE MILLION_* baseball cards without knowing a whole lot about the market. Jeff isn't dumb. He sees the values plummeting and wants to get rid of them while he still can get anything for them. Problem is that so many other older collectors are doing the same thing.

Values are not plummeting. Most are holding steady. The ones that plummeted 20 years ago never recovered, but the pre-1975 cards are not changing much in value. They aren't rising much but also aren't dropping. And there are young collectors. Maybe not as many as 40 years ago but there are more young collectors than people would realize. Young being under 30. Go to Ebay and some of the top card sellers get 10,000 feedbacks per month. Hardly a dying collectible

Yes, pre-1980 cards baseball cards still hold their value, but that's not getting young people into collecting. If there are any cards that kids actually still collect, it's Pokémon; otherwise, kids are way more into smartphones and playing video games than collecting baseball cards. The market has changed a lot since 1995.

People said the same thing 20 years ago in the 1990's when cards made in the 1980's began plummeting. People said sell everything because no young kids want cards anymore. Yet 25 years later; the top ebay sellers get as much as 10,000 feedbacks a month, so many people are still buying. What's most interesting is that there are valuable cards that sell for $1,000's that were made in the past 10 years. THis confuses me as I wonder who is driving newer cards of the last 10 years to be worth a lot. I tend to think you're right that there are less and less young people collecting, but I'm still amazed how many card sales are on ebay; literally millions of cards are sold each month on ebay; so there has to be many young buyers. And there are a lot of youtube card videos of young men who look to be in their 20's and 30's. So it can't be just old men like me?

I didn't say there's zero market for baseball cards, but if you think it will ever be as hot as it was 25 years ago, you're living in a fantasy land, sorry. Just view it purely as a hobby now, not an investment; otherwise, you'll wind up spending way more time, money and effort than it will ever be worth.

Oh, yeah? I have a bridge to sell you. If you buy it, you'll make a fortune!

Me too!!

I thought it looked too nice condition wise.

Spunkyssportscards Spunky TRUE BUT NOT KIDS

negative sir... the time most collectors buying cards was mid 80's to early 90's .this is fact!!!! all companies are not making money as they did in those times

@@whitebathroomguy Wrong! Not sure where you live, but the shelves are being picked clean of everything lately. Best, mdm.

James Perdue I can what do you have? Look up good players (I.e. mike trout, mookie betts, etc.) and see if you have cards of them that have a little Rc logo which means it is a rookie card, and supposedly short printed so worth more.

Obviously

price?

@@reconquista98 $85-$125K.

@@abrahammorrison6374 wow

Abraham Morrison ... still have anything for sale? Do you have an eBay store?

I would be curious of that as well, cards in general are getting more expensive, even the good old wax era card are starting to rise

I would say 0%. I guarantee he used the news to pump all his junk wax. He said he was gonna keep some. I bet all the pre 1980 stuff and the better 1993-2018 as well.

Meh

The baseball card business is the most volatile investment in the world right now. Make 50 to 100 times your money within days. True story

Probably about $62. So much base trash in that collection most people wouldn't even waste their time with it.

@@GTOAviator $62?? Youre being too generous.

ano e marca?
