For rare 90s cards, the grade is almost irrelevant - difference in condition btwn 8 or 9 is negligible and owning an example is 99% of demand not pop/condition chasing

First title ... first MVP ... or if he's traded to the Lakers.

Just my two cents being a vintage fan and dabbling in modern, because modern is so hot, sometimes it leads to deals on vintage - especially from dealers looking to unload vintage to buy modern. Great show again and conversation, Leighton.

she kills it

What’s up Doc

Nice Kobe Bryant card

The Holy Grail of Collecting Sports Cards…I was one of those people viewing this spectacular card…From the famous Alan “ Mr Mint” Rosen Find…

Bury the card; not the holder!

I want to buy king Mick tomb case

A generational card. 1952 Topps Mantle, regardless of age, is a card everyone in the hobby knows about and wants to be a part of. It symbolizes baseball card collecting and why it is special.

I like sgc more than PSA, but I'm wondering why you chose sgc over PSA. It's not right but postwar PSA cards sell for much higher prices. This card in a PSA 10 probably would have sold for 5 million dollars more. The set registry guys would have paid 20 million for this card

I have this card in a case screwed in it's worth that much

great interview!

Great interview. Brady seems like someone you just want to hang out with!

Gosh, if I only had the money (which I certainly do not), I gladly would have bid $12,600,001 for that gorgeous Mantle card.

Vintage cards like this are almost surreal, not specifically because of the grade per se but because of the condition.. Every now and again I'll come across a 70+ year-old vintage card that's so fresh and crispy - if not for your own knowledge and experience - you would otherwise think it was a counterfeit or a convincing reprint printed just 10 minutes ago.. I don't know what it is (perhaps the environment +) but some cards can defy natural aging somehow.. Not that a little bit of patina will affect a pristine vintage cards overall grade, but look - 99.9% of cards are going to age naturally - I mean you can take a gem mint paper card from today and place it on a shelf - not touch it for 50 years - then come back and that card is going to show natural aging despite not being touched for 5 decades and this specimen seems to be in that rare group..

Great video! Love what he said about the hobby giving people JOY during Covid. Video takes me back to my road trips with Mr Mint.

Whoa

Hi

Thanks so much for doing these type of video's for us who Love Baseball and Baseball cards. You and Derek were so imformative on so many card topics. Have a really good day. Barry

When I saw this episode was with Brady Hill -- I HAD to click on it. Great show guys!

Awesome interview Leighton 👏. Thanks for the quality content you put out and we all enjoy so much.

A good case on "Does provenance matter?" is the 1952 Topps Mantle that sold on Fanatics in December 2024. It was an SGC 6.5 and it was once owned by Mickey Mantle and sold for $192K. Heritage 2 months early sold an SGC 6.5 for $180K. Both cards have almost identical eye appeal and the one owned by Mickey Mantle got $12K/6.7% more than the one not owned by Mantle. For people with deep pockets that's not really a big difference. If I were one of the those people with deep pockets I am taking the one that was once owned by Mickey Mantle for $12K more.

Great interview Leighton!

Ohhh! Brady Hill! 😲😲😲

Great stuff Leighton! You are getting some great finds! Congrats!

Hi

Thanks Leighton, always enjoy your posts/stories!

What a treasure hunt! 🌈

Great story and amazing collection. Saw some Roger Maris stuff there too!

Great story, Leighton

Great story! New sub here! Let me know if you find any rare Clemente cards in the collection. Loved the show you guys did with Sammy! Cheers!

Overpaid? For me, yes. For you, I doubt it!

Great story

Hi , Leighton. I love the story of your new collection .

Great story Leighton 👏. Thanks for sharing 👍

Great conversation! Very informative!

Really enjoyed this!!

Where did you get the top loaders

I absolutely love this episode. This is how I have collected for the past 30 years. I love my raw cards too. I even keep my Vintage Breaks pulls in the Card Saver 1's Leighton's crew put them into with the spot # sticker still on them.

speaking of not having unlimited time, the auction houses need to be brought into 21st century and end these dumb extended bidding windows of 15 min intervals that last until 3am in the morning. There's a 3-4 week marketing window for people to places bids, set a time and date for end of auction and have it go to highest bidder. maybe with one single 30 min extended bidding window, but it's nuts!

sell the warm-up, the autograph photo is a very good photo.

Great discussion here!

Outstanding and rewarding conversation. Thank you so much. - Dave

Great discussion

sell the Mcd's one. it's cool-but doesnt have nearly as much magic as the other two. the one with him signing is the money shot-i believe.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your conversation with Derek. Thank you for doing this. Very educational

Nice MJ cards

Impressive content, Just Collect, Inc.. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. I tapped the thumbs up icon on your video. Keep up the amazing work! Your insights on eBay's algorithm were particularly enlightening. Have you considered how the recent shifts towards live commerce might further influence selling strategies on platforms like eBay?
