Did I Find A 1952 Mickey Mantle At A Flea Market? - Flea Market Sports Card Hunting 

I think you did pretty good ! The Griffey should more than take care of what you spent in total.

your title has nothing to do with the video therefore you get a dislike.

You didn’t watch the video, did you? Those 91 boxes contained inserts from all Topps years, including the Mantle. Try to pay attention next time.

What in the hell is a “grif” ? And it isn’t clickbait at all, dude. There were odds to pull that card and many others. This video was awesome. Quit throwing around terms you don’t know the meaning of.

@@sportscardhub6388 you ripped the dude off. That binder has double 20 dollars worth. Also you knew damn well there was 0 chance of you pulling a 52 mantle. You knew damn well it would generate views. Your dishonest to yourself and anyone else your portraying that possibility to. They didn’t insert random cards from random years. They had set redemptions. They are long long expired. I know you said you would see each and every one of us next video in your conclusion but that is not correct. You won’t be seeing me on the next video. People like you who are willing to waste my time with ridiculous click bait titles that have 0 merit I just quit watching. Tootles

@@sportscardhub6388 yeah I agree with the first guy. Click bait BS. But attack dudes spelling I guess?

Definitely click baiting. Sad

Oh yeah? Are you sad? If you’re so sure it’s clickbait then explain how it’s clickbait.

Clickbait? Explain how? There were odds of any year insert being in that box. I didn’t know any more than you til the vid was done. It’s the hunt that makes it interesting. And the people at the market have jobs, they’re just selling off their junk. Sports Card Investor did a 1952 pack rip last week. Spoiler alert, he didn’t pull the card either. Doesn’t mean he baited me. He didn’t know til he ripped it. Thanks for watching and you should really consider watching again. It’s gonna be a great series.

@@sportscardhub6388 Then don't include a picture of the card in the title. May as well have put a HONUS WAGNER card in the title, there'a at least twelve in existence

Ditto. 100% click bait

If there were odds that card was in the box, then you absolutely could have. You clearly don’t understand what clickbait is. You got what was advertised. Making a video enticing isn’t deceptive.

I'm not sure I've built up the scratch to make an investment like that yet. Lol

One wouldn’t think. Thanks for watching this!

Plenty of resealed boxes on eBay.

Yes! He was awesome. And smoked his weight in dope lol. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Would you be interested in tua jersey auto...and some his cards...

Hey, I'm just as disappointed as you. No Mantle indeed. But I didn't know until I ripped the packs while making the vid. I thought the possibility was still exciting though. Sorry you didn't like it but thanks for checking it out.

Truth be known, Ida definitely paid more. But when I know I can pay less? I go for it. Guy didn’t want em and there were no other takers. But yeah, if sharks are circling? Sometimes there won’t be time to haggle. Thanks for watching this!

It wasn’t clickbait. There were odds to pull the card. Learn what terms mean before you throw em around trynna sound smart

Thank you Alan! Hopefully we’ll have more flea adventures soon! I appreciate you watching this.

There’s some really cool vintage stuff in there. I plan to do another video on it soon!

Truth be told, if he had stuck to his guns at $20 I think I would’ve paid it. My curiosity was beyond piqued! Thanks for watching!

There’s a handful of articles that say different. Only reason I went lookin to begin with. But I’m not saying you’re wrong because it wouldn’t be the first time media lied about something. The claim was that the 40th boxes had inserts from every year Topps was in biz and that that included the Mantle. 🤷🏻

@@sportscardhub6388 It's possible that there were redemption cards inserted in those packs for the cards from 1952-56, but those redemption cards would be expired by now, anyway. I have a vague recollection about that. But I do know for sure that there was a 0% chance of getting the actual 1952 Mantle card in any 1991 Topps pack. Do you have a link to any of the articles, if they're online?

Let me see if I can find them again and yeah, I’ll link them here in a reply.

Hey, I understand that totally. It was a fun rip for old times sake. 87-92 were the years I was really collecting as a kid so I kinda have a soft spot for the junk from that era. Thanks for watching this!

And also, ironically, the only way to get you to start watching. Without the right keywords and SEO, you would never have even seen this because it would never have been suggested to you. But, aside from that, fun hunting video, right? And there’s more to come. Thanks for watching!

Also, I made this in real time. Until the rip, I didn’t know what was in those packs. So I wasn’t baiting you. The odds weren’t great but they allegedly existed.

You’re right, the $20 is definitely there. Probably in resale of the Marvel cards alone. But then There’s cards from 3 sports here, 62-79, ticket stubs from old games, it’s a cool old collection we will see more of!

Yeah it was solid grabs on this hunt. And more hunts to come!

There's a new episode in this series coming very soon. There's a lot of junk wax floating around the market but every so often I find something that raises a brow...

Well I didn’t see Chipper but I should go back through and check for the rest of those. Thanks for watching this and for the info!

I'll have to look back and see which one that is. Thanks for watching! New content coming soon.

Right on, Dave! Yeah it’s gonna be a fun pile to go through. Thanks for watching this!

This video was about finding a box with odds to pull a card. Look it up. We opened the box. I pulled what I pulled. How is that clickbait?

Is that a fact? That’s interesting! I appreciate that input. Thanks for watching this!

In someone else’s 1991 Topps box unfortunately. But hey. We took a shot. Thanks for adventuring with me!

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I hoped people would dig the hunt and the negotiations. This is gonna be an ongoing series so I’m glad you subscribed! Gonna be lots more to come. 👍

I appreciate your opinion and especially you watching the video. You kinda hit the nail on the head, maybe not in the way you think though. You see, it’s all a chain of events. That title gets the initial views, then the initial interaction, then the platform makes the video visible. Without these events in order, you would never have even seen this video to click on it in the first place. But like you said, it’s part of RU-vid. And honestly, being 100 with you right now, I did this in real time. I didn’t know what was in those packs until I got to that part in the edit. There were odds, just not good ones. Sports Card Investor just did a video in which he had odds of pulling this same card. Spoiler alert. He didn’t. I didn’t feel slighted though because I was entertained by the purchase and the rip. The chances. This is gonna be a fun series where you’re gonna see hunts and both vintage and new scores. The wins and the losses. I hope you’ll stick around!

That’s amazing!! Just to have it would be so incredible. The odds of pulling it here weren’t good. But it was exciting to rip that big box. I wasn’t aware the 91 series had inserts from all years. Thanks for watching!!

Maddox was a stud. To think he was our age and still playing the game. I can’t even walk to the mailbox without seeing blood pressure sparkles lolol

@@sportscardhub6388 old guy problems🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Yeah there's a lot of that floating around the market. But there'll be a new video soon with some of my more recent finds. Thanks for watching this!

He wanted $30 for it which is high even in today’s market. He was back two weeks later with all the same stuff cuz he hadn’t sold anything. Ebay Lord. Lol

@@sportscardhub6388 🤣🤣

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you liked it! More coming soon.

Good eye! Ricky was a cool dude. Thanks for watching this!

Well first off, I’m glad you’ve decided to watch more. Second, there were odds to pull the card in question. Unfortunately it didn’t happen. But I’m not baiting anybody. I opened these in real time making the video. It’s about the hunt and the possibilities. Much larger channels have done similar “Mantle” vids recently but also didn’t pull it. But it WAS necessary for views. Without the initial views and interaction, there would’ve been no visibility on the platform. You never would’ve seen this video to begin with. As to my “haggling” not sitting well… I don’t know how to respond to that. It’s a flea market. A swap meet. You haggle. You dicker. You talk with folks. Im not going to overpay for stuff. And you’re right, a lot of viewers don’t like seeing me get deals. I hear it on my game channel too. But some buys are losses. You gotta cut your costs. A lot of these cards, despite being old are still overprinted and worthless. I didn’t take advantage of anyone. I made an offer and it was accepted. But if you enjoy the wild hunt you’re gonna enjoy this series. There’s a new episode coming soon and I appreciate your input.

@@sportscardhub6388 with all due respect, I have zero idea why you might think topps put older cards in their 1991 boxes. That 100% never happened

It definitely would’ve! I was disappointed there were no inserts but like you said, for $21, this was a lot of product. Thanks for watching!

It’s cool paying a low price and not knowing what you’re getting! I’ve paid more for one blaster box lately than what I bought all this for so I’m stoked about this new series. Thanks for watching!

@@sportscardhub6388 thanks for the awesome content brother, no stores within 50 miles of me carry cards and neither do flea markets ever.

Well I honestly never knew about the random inserts in these packs. I wasn’t collecting Topps in 91. But now I have to question the validity of that after pulling none at all. That was 32 packs! Thanks for watching this!

I don’t even know what’s real anymore. ROFL

In another 40th anniversary box somewhere. But until this video, we couldn’t be sure it wasn’t in this one.

Well, watch & see. The hunt and negotiating is an adventure all its own.

Yeah I’ve seen some ruff stuff at the flea. But this will be a fun pile to dig through. And I couldn’t imagine shredding cards. No matter the worth. In a way, Each one tells a story. I’ve really missed card collecting and I’m glad to be back!

@@sportscardhub6388 You bring up some great points. As I got older, I got back into model trains and slot cars but now since, I had money, I could get what I want, when I want and do it right. I also now knew how to repair them. Interesting how we go back to old hobbies. It just amazes me how some cards aren't just worth the money. I did the National at Cleveland years ago (twice) (and NO - I deal in collectibles but not cards - although I am trying to sell my old non-sport card sets -usually at the fleas) . What amazed me, is that after people had left, we were still packing up and you could NOT believe what dealers had left. I brought back 4 large flats (filled to the brim) with various sport cards. NOthing of real value I think, but I sold a bunch to guys at work and a bunch at the fleas (mainly all 80's-90's stuff and it wasn't all just baseball either). I made decent money. Basically, I was charging 10 cents a card or 15 for a dollar. Anyway, you look at it, I was AMAZED at what dealers left. I brought back even MORE stuff (an entire metal dolly) than we had BROUGHT. Our two cards WERE FILLED to the entire brim with stuff people left. Amazing...(side note - we did make money at the show..but not tons. Even though we were local - which is why we did it, we never went back) I will say this, if you collect cards - you REALLY need to go to a National. I"m not even a sports fan and it WAS amazing. Fleas - well what can I say. I used to look for vinyl back in the 80's at the fleas. OMG - the shit they had there was beyond rough. Most of the time, there was no point in buying it as it was all BEAT. IF you did find somebody who had vinyl in good shape - they wanted some money for it - which to some extent was okay...but what I learned is you don't go to fleas for condition - unless you come to my booth. I say that, because all my shit is neatly packaged, protected with plastic, and in good shape. I usually do quite well due to that...have fun hunting though. If you want to hear my story about my Honus Wagner....comment me back and I"ll tell ya about it.

Oh I’m plenty excited about the binder. Sorry if it didn’t come off that way. But a closer look will be taken at it in another episode. There’s so much in there that it will require that. And “scoffed” isn’t exactly accurate. I still would’ve bought the two. But it’s a flea market. It’s implied no one’s paying the asking price. This series is gonna be about the hunt and negotiating as much as the cards themselves. Did anything stand out to you in the vintage that might be of note?

@@sportscardhub6388 I do agree about making offers at flea markers or garage sales. I definitely do the same. So I understand that. I saw Theisman who is at least a minor star. Couldn’t make out anything else on the quick scan. But those marvel cards have good value, and to me the vintage is even cooler. I recently started working on most of the late 70s sets so those definitely catch my eye

Yeah it cost me in all, less than the overprinted blasters on the shelf these days. This will be an ongoing series so thanks for watching this and stay tuned!!

I bet! I actually haven’t been to an LCS in years. It’s mostly marked up retail available on eBay for less. I miss card shops in the 80s/90s! But thanks for watching this and this is gonna be a cool series so stay tuned.

It wasn't clickbait. The product was unopened and there's allegedly still a Mantle floating around out there. Look it up. Topps inserted cards from every year in the 40th anniversary boxes. My odds weren't good. But it was still an exciting find. And I didn't know if it was or wasn't there until I ripped it in the video. That was the whole point. I'm sorry you didn't like it. But thanks for watching all the same.

Really? I had odds to pull it but I didn’t. You should still enjoy the hunt and negotiating. Sports Card Investor just did a mick vid. Didn’t pull it. But it was still exciting.

That’s a good question! We’re gonna look at that and more as this series goes on!

@@Brewcrew34 I didn't say I found one. I asked if I did and opened the box on the video.

Still a fun hunt tho! And more coming soon so I hope you subscribe and stay tuned!

That’s whats up!! I appreciate ya helpin out the Hub, buddy!! It’s a fun little side project that may eventually grow into something…
