Found someone who was selling their collection that was hidden away in an attic for 20+ years. Cards range from the 1950's to the early 2000's. This is going to be a blast to dig through for gems!
You see a lot of commons, others see dozens of valuable cards from the 60s 70s and 80s. Carry on. This is why there are opportunities. The kids today have no idea what they're looking at.
Really nice video. Love vintage stuff and I have doing the same here lately buying smaller to mid sized collections. I love going through them everyone is different so fun to see how/what they collect then when you do hit a banger its all so much better. Love the content bro.
Sweet pickup... I was 3:28 into video when I realized how good of a pickup that was after seeing that henderson 1980 topps rc. Congratulations on your purchase
Your best find yet!! We’ll worth $400! Congrats! Rickey Henderson Rookie! Lots of great vintage HOF baseball cards. I’m a Eric Davis fan and saw a few rookies of him also.
Wow! Spectacular!! That last album was killer! I would definitely go through that individually. Although he never panned out to be a great player that Eric Davis rookie fetches alot of money because there is only maybe 5 psa 10 known!! Plus that 82' Donruss Ripkin rookie is awesome too!! I wanna go through those cards with you!! lol Keep bringing these vids I can't get enough!!!
But I can't help but think with all the empty spaces in the binders that some of the really good cards were taken out before the sale was made, but still a pretty good deal !!
Cool collection for sure! I live right where you found these. I was watching the beginning of the video and saw the exit. Lol. You got one from my back yard. I was interested in those oversized basketball cards. They are awesome. Any more videos showing more of the highlights of the collection?
I just bought a 250000 card collection on Saturday. It's so much fun to go thru a large collection. I got a henderson rookie too. It's in great condition. Good luck on ur finds!!
Hefty collection someone likely put alot of money and time into. Astonishing someone would unload that for few hundred dollars. I am more interested in the story of people who unload these collections and what was final straw that got them to basically give them away for small fee.
3:30 we get a short peek at the Henderson rookie! That alone was a good % of what you paid, already. Cal Ripken rookie at 11:19! Sandberg rookie soon after. I pulled that one from a Repacked Wax box I got today, along with an '89 Upper Deck Griffey rookie! Very cool stuff! Find of the century!
I was at my uncles not so long ago and i decided to go into their dusty old basement for a game of hide and seek. I turned on my phone flashlight and I saw probably around 100,000 sports cards just in shoe boxes and I took a couple home myself because my uncle said he didn’t care about them anymore. One is worth over 1 grand.
I just spoke to my daughter to put an "ad" on social media for something very similar to what you got. The only stipulations I requested were for the cards NOT to be junk wax era or heritage cards because,1.i can cover my entire house with the junk wax cards and 2. the heratige cards are a joke!
@@MyMg23 You could spend 30 years going through those cards. Most are commons, or too heavily circulated. He should be selling any and all valuable cards and not putting them in his PC.
Love the pickup. Saw a few of those vintage big boy basketball loose cards. I collect vintage basketball and if you're willing to sell them I would be highly interested in them. Good luck on finding some gems.
i would love to find stuff like this its so awesome just to dig i could look at cards all day long if my wife would let me lol that one binder had a ripken rookie in it and a sandburg rookie and that other one had a 1976 topps carl yaz in it it books 25!!! great find
My heart jumped when you opened the binder and the henderson rookie was right up front could very well be some life changing stuff in there good job hope it wasnt cherry picked with the empty spots on the binder sleeves
I could never do that, and have my cards sorted by sport, year, set since the 80s However I recently decided to have some duplicates on binders. That way I can make smsll collections, show them off for trades and keep the binder dynamic. But I also love watching binders with no theme whatsoever
@@stereomois Oh, same. I'm the same way. I put full sets in binders and have most of them from 1978-1993 (all brands) and a handful of Topps after that. I have my Red Sox binders, by decade and brand. And I have my Hall of Fame Binders. Those are mixed, thought still sorted by player, brand and year. Lol. I supposed I should have said I "love" binders with no rhyme or reason. Lol
I'm pretty sure the 1st Joe Morgan in the last binder was his rookie card!!! The binders alone paid for everything!!! Findin that kind of stuff is amazing. I love diggin!!! Can't wait for the updates.
@@fortheloveofitcollector Just a plain ol Deion in Yankees uniform. May be his rookie 🤔 bc he was originally drafted by the Yankees. And it’s actually not an ultra rare card. Lol. You can find the card for sale. What I meant was it’s pretty rare to find one in a collection 😆. Still a sick card.
My friend Keith in NY who you sound like used to buy collections and sell them at the flea market years ago.He told you have to really spend money but you get alot of inventory. To anyone reading this on another, if my Target is any indication,Topps has massively overprinted 22 Topps Baseball,so many different kinds of packaging before series 2 or the factory set! These finds are incredible,Mike Bossy just passed away!
I mentioned the 1971 Simmons card in my other comment, from a first pass look I would say that the vast majority of the value I saw was the 1972 topps stuff, along with a few of the 1971s if they aren't insanely bad condition. Also the 1975s I saw have value, even though it won't be huge. Great video man
Careful taking the cards out of old page binders. I had some that I kept in the garage that got too hot and the cards stuck to the plastic binders and were ruined!
Back in 1994 I was 19 years old and found a abandoned house and whole attic was covered in baseball cards from 1940s to through the 60s...even had uncut cards on back of old cereal boxes....mantles uncut.....unreal....Jackie Robinson rookie and ted Williams rookie...bunch of mantles ...we carried them out in the old cereal boxes....
A quick question: what would you say the market price is for random bulk cards? Like, what rate per thousand cards? Like this collection was $6.67 per 1000 cards, a little higher than the going rate right now for Magic: the Gathering bulk, but a a good deal cheaper than Pokemon bulk. Is there a standard rate per thousand you keep in your head, or is there a general market consensus on bulk pricing? Are there websites you can go to in order to sell bulk in this manner? May be moving into sports cards before too long
My local sports card shop pays $15 for 5,000 bulk cards. I would think that it be around there for just commons. Getting collections like this is a little different because its not all commons, there's rookies and hall of famers and you could get lucky to find some really valuable cards depending on the situation of the deal your getting like this one not being touched for 20+ years. Whats the going rate on Pokemon bulk I have a ton.
@@fortheloveofitcollector Cool, really appreciate the info. Pokemon has bottomed out at around $25 per 1000 cards, unsorted common and uncommon, in Near Mint condition. If you're looking to get out of them, let me know, I'm sure we can work something out
You did very well. As a Vintage Baseball and Basketball card collector, the $400 for all binders and other assorted boxes was well worth it. Always fun to go through them after the fact. You overlooked some RC's like Sandberg's 83, Ripken's 82 and some others. Let me know if you have any questions or are curious about any of the old vintage cards.
I actually have a question. I just came across a 1983 Topps Tony Gwynn Rookie but the card is a mini card, its not the normal sized cards. I can't seem to find what set it is from.
So will you have them graded? Are they worth anything? Reason I ask is I have most of these cards and want to grade them but which ones and is it worth it?
I usually go through the cards before doing a video to show what I find, this time I was going through for the first time during the video. I had to go back and go through them 2 more times to make sure I didn't miss anything lol
😲Love the collection and the price pd! 🤩There was a 1919 Wayne Gretzky sold for like 1.2M a while ago. I just wanna reach through and find the right 1952 Mickey Mantle(3.8 M) and/or 1909 Honus Wagner (5.2M) ("gems" as you put it) and I'd be a happy camper! lol ps: You seem pretty good with this stuff, but I hope you have a lot of card sleeves for some of those in the boxes! The pt dedcutions at grading sucks! But Good Luck and I'm excited for you!
I too just went through the same. Someone advertised that husband passed away and wanted to get rid of the mess. So ..I was the fortunate one..paying less then you for about 10 binders. Complete sets .numbered accordingly. Baseball and hockey only. From 1980 to 2012. Alot of mint condition Arod...Jeter's. But ..looks like we both lucked out.
I pulled out a 1975 basketball card from my cardboard box of John Brisker from the Sonics. What made the card unique was the copyright date on the back was 1969. Can that increase its value?
I though it had been picked through already. That front page of hockey might have had earlier Gretzky, if not rc. However, the Henderson rc...😛. That stuff might not be picked through. At least, not all of it. 60k cards for $400. I'm in all day on that. The search through alone is worth that.
did i miss where you talked about that rickey henderson rookie i saw at 3:29 in the video? that's his rookie right? sick score if so. if you mentioned it in the vid i missed it. good vid!
I did not mention it in the video because I was just skimming by quickly but it will be in the part 2 video of this collection. Thanks for keeping an eye out!
They have 1 binder with all the good cards or higher priced cards since the craze everyone that had a collection is doing the same but it's a hobby for reason
Back in the 1960s, I was walking threw the alleys where I grew up & found three binders of 58, 59 & 60 baseball cards on top of a garbage can. I picked them up, brought them home and still have them today. Most of them are PSA 4 to 6.
Wow me and my daughter just started collecting cards. If u need a home for the cards 1 day we would really be interested on making a deal on some cards. I'm not rich but rich in family .Great find
