Mutumbos card prices will go back down. I sell cards for a living, every time someone dies we sell a bunch of that player because we dont raise our prices, then a week later the sales die down and prices are back to normal.

4:26 at some point does the damaged Purdy become more valuable given all the attention it’s gotten? It’s infamous now 😂

WOW !! It is a LOT of money out there ! $7000+ for that Ohtani 50/50 card from 2024 is outrageous 👀

Congrats on your 10k sub milestone! It's always a treat to watch your videos and read your newsletter! Thanks for all your time that you dedicate to the hobby.

18:52 Kel Varnsen is Jerry’s fake name in the Puerto Rican Day episode of Seinfeld 😂

Fedex stole them if the box was delivered empty. Package thieves dont open boxes and take the contents, they just take the whole box.

Very cool on the Shohei card! When I used to collect Chuck Knoblauch cards I would try to find cards numbered 11 of whatever the run was. Always fun to search for that type of item. And many congrats on hitting 10K subscribers! That is fantastic and I am happy for you as you have a wonderful channel with fun and insightful videos. Keep up the great work my Brother!

Congratulations on 10k subscribers, an incredible achievement! Always great videos

I dont feel like its the buyers responsibility to point out the damage on the purdy, as long as they have high res scans of it up. Its clearly labeled as authentic, not as mint, so you shouldnt expect it to be anything other than authentic. And if you are buying a card that is selling for thousands of dollars it is your responsibility to actually look at the card before putting in a bid. Same goes for the through the years cards. Stupid people should not be protected.

Hi Mike, congrats on reaching 10K subscriber's. The breaker story was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on 10k. Should buy a card to celebrate 🎉 😂 keep up the good work!!!

Mike...what I find crazy is this over anything else in the hobby: How is it that these "BUYERS" have still not been introduced to RU-vid content that sheds light on these shady dealings in the hobby. Wild thoughts

The FedEx cards missing from package story was reported a couple days ago by Neo. It was a shipment to Luka Doncic valued between $150k to $250k. Cards were missing from the package that was re-taped over the original seal on the package. Included some very high end Beckett slabbed cards of Shohei. This is a huge story. Looks to me as an inside job by a FedEx employee or 3rd party worker.

Good to see PSA decertified at least 1 altered Ohtani RC..... ;)

I have seen advertisements on X for people to learn to be breakers. This is something that needs to be discussed IMO. The margin is small for breakers. I suspect that small margin can be supplemented by selling info about how to be breakers. But these will most likely be dead end careers. People need to be careful for what they sign up for - especially if residuals are involved. And you can bet the shady breakers will have high prices and residuals will most likely be involved.

Congratulations on 10k. Love your channel so keep up the great work. Helping me understand the craziness of the hobby today, after being out of it for a couple decades. Still fun though. 👍

I wonder if the Menedez Brothers are bidding on that Griffey Ticket as an Alibi.. lol I'm totally kidding, but it's in the timeframe.

I understand there are a 'million' breaks but I don't think the breakers actually expect to hit a rare rare valuable card.. they're odds are against them, so yes.. they should send that card to the owner. Just as Backyard Breaks did with the TLaw Gold Kaboom.. What do you expect? Of course you have the chance of hitting that card. They're people with no integrity and yet people still break with them. It makes no sense. Once you 'dip' from a card like that, you shouldn't be allowed to break again.. under any other name. Breakers make way too much money for very little work because they take advantage of gamblers.. I watch breaks a bit and it's a big Loss 99% of the time; some break even.

Interesting comment on the ‘69 Aaron PSA 10. I think the majority of the hobby would agree that PSA’s standards have tightened over the years, but should an older slab like that ‘69 Aaron in the video command a lower price than a newly graded PSA 10 slab? Does the market reflect that when comparing sales? Curious if anyone has done an analysis.

Its cool to see the serial number get a premium now if I had one I would sell it in a second 😂😂😂.

Congrats on 10k! Well earned. There isn't any logic or reason to much anything in this hobby. Other day at Walmart , I saw a Chrome Mega box for $70. I laughed out loud. Meanwhile, yesterday at a card shop, I bought a 1971 Topps Super Hank Aaron in near mint condition for $25. It's a large thick card and I love the look of it. I'm focused on singles now more than ever. I used to buy wax but it offers no value anymore at the insane cost. Thanks for sharing. Was hoping the Royals can pull off the upset but not looking good.

Wow 10k. I remember when you were just starting out. Congrats on the success and your hobby journey. Always enjoy your videos. Still waiting to see the top row of cards behind you. They very rarely make an appearance.

Another fab video by the JWH guy!

I'm going to be honest, but those guys stealing from the company .... why are they going out and selling them immediately? It puts the cards on everyone's radar. Pocket that into a crazy collection, sell when you retire. They are truly stupid card thieves.

I wonder this...what would the hobby be like if Geoff went another direction with the hobby.

This is how I start every Sunday morning. Great commentary as always.

Why would bowman/topps have pete rose as a redemption? Its not like it was hard to get him to sign stuff, thats what he did for a living. Seems stupid and costly for them to do it that way.

Quitting when you have 607 out of 608 signed seems wrong ...

Ya on the stolen cards, if I had something like that and was selling or just shipping it I'm not to sure I'd mail it with anyone. Does Fed Ex cover with their insurance values up to $150K? I'm thinking they don't but could be wrong on that. If so what would that insurance cost you? $200/300 or more to ship those cards insured. Id fly or drive those things to their destination. I'm not feeling strongly about mailing $150K of anything by any mail service out there and if I sold them for $150K I can take a trip with them. Ha

Cant tell if the gretzky is fake, but the fact that the rest of the collection is not also 1980 opc (or other big cards) is a big red flag.

Just added the 100th like :) good stuff brother keep it up

Those 'bounty wars' are getting really pathetic, and old. 
It's essentially becoming a p***ing content between Geoff and Ken. Let's face it, Ken has got FAR deeper pockets - and if he didn't, then far more people on his 'rolodex' with even bigger pockets than he has; it isn't really a fair contest. In any case, I'm ambivalent towards both of the gentlemen, and find the whole thing very pathetic. Geoff trying to defend his cash offer is ridiculous. Just acknowledge when you're beat, tip your hat to your foe, and be happy that the customer who took a risk by taking the item to auction, got a better deal by doing so. 👍

Great way to start off my Sunday mornings. Congrats on 10K subscribers. Kind of cool to have the 50/50 version of Ohtani gold, but I would not pay extra for that. Most thieves are stupid in this hobby with the guy from Upper Deck and the guys at the hotel. Some people will leave the hobby, but most won’t because they have too much invested now in modern low number cards. The gambling aspect will keep people in this as gambling is a popular pastime in this nation. I was born a collector and will likely die a collector, so will be around for a while. Good show Mike.

Wouldnt you insure a FedEx package worth 200k?

Who ever bought that first card needs to put the crack pipe down unless they own the 49 each

Wonder what my Shohei Ohtani 1/1 card would sell for?????

I'm not leaving or quitting. Cards I wanted for decades are finally affordable to me lol

big problem w physical cards is theft... seems like the future will be nfts.

Who cares what Geoff offered, it's a free market lol

Congrats on 10k. Should buy a card to celebrate 🎉 😂 keep up the good work!!!
