Great and under-examined point! The years immediately following, ‘91 Score featured the Mantle auto insert series and ‘92 Score had DiMaggio auto set - and as kid, I pulled one of each, in consecutive years, both out of a single box, both from the same grocery store in Red Bluff, CA! lol still blows my mind!!

I met doug hecker

I have a mint Bure and Fedorov young guns, and they told me it's worth nothing, and these guys were bonified surperstars

I have the same card, by O-pee-chee! It’s never been touched. I just jumped online to try to find its worth, when you popped up! I’m intrigued, it looks really good! Also has the dot on the top right 😊

Did you end up selling either one and what did you get for them if so ?

Love the broder cards. I have a few yet, mostly of Henderson since I loved him. The broder cards seemed to symbolize market saturation at that point. Teddy Higuera had 4 straight solid years in the 80s. Mexican pitching hero, low market team but he was very good. I grew up in Milwaukee.

Congrats. Did u crack slabs and submit for regrade? I have psa 8 graded Jordan fleer but think it could be higher. Any advice on what I should do? (The psa grade doesn’t have a hologram so assuming it was graded a while back).

Where did you go? You still collecting? 😀

they miss cut them and actually centered the stickers for once. I guess that's breaking the rules.

I played against Desi in college. Same conference (NEC) I hit a rising line drive to right and he jumped about 11 feet in the air and stole a double from me with a snow cone catch. 😫 I messaged him recently on LinkedIn and we were laughing about it. I also saw him hit some of the most scorched line drives I’d ever seen, including one that almost took our #1 pitchers head off. Always smiling and you could tell that he loved the game. Obviously an incredible athlete and nice guy. I’m sure like a lot of other guys that competed against him, I was glad that he made it all the way to the show and that he’s still working in the game now.

No offense bro, but 81 topps baseball is one of the worst years, formats and sets of all time. You need to work faster as well.

Fantastic video and nice cards

Congrats on the 10. Never noticed before that his first name is misspelled on the '75.

Back centering will be the new craze! Nice cards.

How many grades down on gregmorriscards card's , wasn't he a psa or sgc grader once before or Gai grading went bankruptcy .

CGC slabs are so much better than PSA in ever aspect.. it´s not even close.. and they grade REALLY fair!! Hope the keep on growing

Those are 2xPSA 8.

I've sent off a few orders to PSA recently, almost all baseball cards with a few football. Mostly Bowman Chrome stuff of prospects I'm hoping will be more valuable in the next few years. I'm hoping to make enough that I can finally pick up a good Bedard card. I'm hoping when SPA and OPC Platinum come out his outburst YGs will drop in value a bit. Here's hoping!

For me, I joined the collectors club to get my football cards I collected in the 70s and 80s graded to sell. My membership expires in 22 days, and I have a 58 card order that is supposed to be ready on July, 22nd. I don’t plan to renew. I think I did well on most of the cards, that I turned in on my first order, but I’m mot optimistic on my outstanding order because my second order of 2 Payton rookies was disappointing. I was lucky enough to get a Payton rookie from a pack in the 90s that only came back a 5. It went straight into a sleeve and cards saver. I’ve seen cards with dinged corners that are 5. My other Payton got a 6 and it was not straight from a pack. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think PSA has gotten a lot thougher on grading and people are getting cards back lately that are falling into mid grades, like my card and are harder to resell, or just not getting the prices they want. I’m waiting on football season to list them in hopes there will be a little bump.

2:33 thank you for the insights. Every other talking head just regurgitates the same info. “June has 3 less days …” Bull 🐂 💩 I’m grading and selling more flipping. I joined Collectors in March and stopped using a subber. Now I grade to sell. It more using my knowledge for profit now.

Now that the season is over…Bedard is a beast! Hype is well justified.

1981 topps baseball ? why ?

I guess we'll see. It's bold of you to put your take out there - I'll give you that. I think roster construction was equally to blame with Keefe for the TML failures. NYI got a good coach in Roy, it was great move by Lou. I can see how you might be extra critical of NJ's move with that recent event. But regarding NJ: Step one is make the playoffs with a young roster, and Sheldon has proven he can at least do that in spades. Coaches also do better with their second NHL teams historically. I believe Sheldon learned a lot from his past mistakes and will be able to make better decisions with a clean slate.

Yes. This!

they probs want a coach before the draft also he most likly will get a young core to the playoff and alot of the playoff losses are on him and his stars just not showing up but he is a good coach for younger teams i think

You’re so so scarce I’m searching you on eBay.

Really enjoy these. To answer your question, no, it's probably not time to buy Bedard cards, unless they're far more rare than the Young Guns or SP1 cards seem to be. Like, if you're interested in one of his numbered OPC cards, those are probably pretty stable at this point, considering they've been out for while and they've had time to react to all the other, bigger Bedard cards entering the market. I'm curious what a Bedard Future Watch Auto is going to go for. You can get Ovechkin FWAs for around $5K (still too rich for me, sadly) to put this into some context. I'm thinking that's probably where the card starts; somewhere around $5K.

Great insights.

My eyes aren’t very good, am I looking at a gem mint Jordan back there ?

I will be looking to get a variant like Outburst or Silver Foil (from epack). Given trends from past YGs, I am thinking the summer of 2026 (about two years+ from release) might be the best time to buy.

Topps did not have NFL Properties rights from 1970 to 1981. They paid for the license again starting with the 1982 set.

Looks like he is coming to life in the playoffs for my NY Rangers.

Enjoy the card, not the grade (unless looking at resale).

Collectors club isnt worth it unless you submit under bulk specials. Also the PSA magazine has a lot of interesting articles about the hobby. Its worth spending an hour looking through each issue to stay up to date with cards

Young guns are the bread and butter of the hobby. Affordable and popular with the public and masses. That’s not going to change. Numbered Exclusive and high gloss young guns have much more higher ceiling then the regular base young gun. Always.

I have used PC Sportscards for a while. I found them on Blowout and they are very active there. Prices are cheaper than I can get myself and the grading results have likely been higher than I would get as my own submitter. They are the #1 submitter to PSA. Submitting is easy and they have a helpful dashboard for tracking your submissions. I won’t go anywhere else.

I know the guys at Up North Collectors (they're no KZbin) do group submissions. They're good people so they can probably hook you up.

I understand. I'd check with Mike O for submissions. I think he is SGC and PSA and well known in the hobby. I use a friend out of Orlando, Lineage Sports Cards. However, I did sign up in March right before the price increase and I love it. I have 140 cards at PSA now and plan to send cards every month. Plus I love the break credits. But as I said, I understand and I agree the book is worthless except on ebay. I think you can resell them ;)

Two minutes for gnawing on Monte. Nice reveal once again. Congrats on that 10.

Love these designs from the 80s thanks for sharing them

Was lucky enough to find 2 Megas earlier this month in a Target. Got his Draft pick and Glossy. Was so happy. Figured I wasn’t going to pay hundreds in markup to chase him. But my card shop had a few tins come in, so I bought one. Got an Orange Dazzler!! Which getting 3 was amazing and I couldn’t be happier…until my first pack…bam!! I hit it!! I was over the moon excited. It’s def PC, and as a Chicago fan it’s so hard lately to have PC 😩 GL everyone. What a day 😀

Good impression of Rick. Go Avs!

Monty is so helpful!

Great reveal as usual. All those Gretzky's look proper in the slabs :) Very nice collection.

Wow, those fleer great auto cards are awesome. Do you have the complete set or plan to collect the entire auto set? Thank you for sharing.

After saying I was absolutely going to buy Bedard when it came out, I haven't. I'm still planning on getting something, but I'm being more choosey and strategic about what that will be than I anticipated I would be. Maybe it's just that I don't want to lose $1,000. Who knows! Thanks for the video!

There are lots of fan of Bedard but there are more YGs than fans. 100K+ printed once it all gets opened.

Got my first today--Young Guns 🙂

Cheers. Great video

Nice impression of Rick. Mine was so so 😂
