$10 VINTAGE BASEBALL CARD SHOEBOX PICKUP

[@xavierwren0212]

70s Baseball Cards of every year in that Decade is just so awesome to find! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@jajasvintagesportscards8669]

Easy buy every time. Never know what you’re gonna get! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@ObsessedCollector]

Fun fun! I love that era. Looks like most were by team. Definitely some kid's childhood collection after the previous owner pulled out the hofs.

[@cardyard608]

Very cool to see the 70-73 cards, especially for $10. Thanks for sharing!

[@chrishayes4166]

Freaking super sweet $10 shoebox of cards! That 71 topps cubs team card towards the beginning is one of my random favorite vintage cards.

[@jordanparker5949]

Great look through history...the most valuable were probably the scratch offs and the two kinds of WS cards. Also, funny to hear you try and pronounce old players names....Milt Pappas too funny.....

[@cryptonite8495]

In my experience, by the time a box of cards gets to the flea market only the dregs are left.

[@thepastisalive]

I’ve come across boxes that were picked through thoroughly and also ones that were not. Just a matter of luck. After the hobby boom happened, it’s become much harder to find boxes that are not though.

[@tseanshannon]

What a treat to watch you go thru that box. 70-74 are my favorite years. Saw a couple of Bill Butler cards that have a painted on hat and a rookie trophy. Seeing this made me want to go to a flea market.

[@blueskies25]

Now that's the type of box I'd like to find for my TTMs

[@cjax2000]

I think this was an awesome buy! I believe if broken up and sold right this lot could bring you back easily $100 to $200 profit - not a TON of money but anytime you can get ten to twenty times your cost .. well that's just good, right? and I believe its possible it could be higher!

[@PushnButtons62]

Yeah man, you can't go wrong with that for 10 smackarinos. That new member to Club Unibrow was pretty funny, so I'm saying "good buy". Thanks Jon

[@TonyMacRef]

As an autograph collector, I saw a ton of TTM fuel in that box!! Very nice find for $10!

[@MontviewBlvdBabiez]

Unibrow sighting coming in hot! 🤣

[@ll0v99]

More than worth it. Would love to run into that kind of luck...thanks

[@calronske1853]

I love the artwork on the 1956 & 1965 McLaughlin world series cards! Send them my way!

[@Luciddreamer007]

I relaxed and chilled I paid attention and figured it all out I had a good time Unibrow’s Rule !! Thanks 🙏

[@thepastisalive]

Glad you enjoyed it Cee Tee!

[@MrK623]

You don't have to just look for rookies. There are plenty of semi star vintage cards and other decent cards.

[@sad_As_fan]

Thanks for that insight Captain obvious

[@willg.2045]

You made your money back on the 89 Topps Mike Birkbeck alone. Still, $10 for that many vintage cards is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@thepastisalive]

😂 thanks Will!

[@1carneyms]

This video cured my blindness. God bless you.

[@walkerwashburn19]

Jon there’s no such thing as a Mel hall card without a poop stain on it. You know this man!

[@thepastisalive]

😂 you’re right! I should’ve be ashamed of myself

[@ronruss8156]

Great video, like always. Love your channel!

[@ksredsfan]

always worth a shot never know whats lurking in those old shoe boxes and it makes great content lol keep it up Jon

[@thepastisalive]

Thanks man!

[@DarinsCards]

Just for commons from the early 70s well worth it, look and see if there are any high numbers

[@thomasalmerini471]

Looks like my old duplicate box, which I traded away years ago!

[@mr.bloodvessel260]

Most places that box would be going for $50 or more! Love the 71 vada pinson card with Munson!

[@kennethtrail1981]

Absolutely love that Nolan Ryan/Walter Johnson nice buy all day long

[@beneasterling3846]

Easily worth the ten bucks Jon. Some of those 1971's looked to be in pretty decent shape, those high numbers add up quick!

[@archstanton4365]

True dat. I been on '67 Topps high number binge recently, I went through the '71 high had to havums about this time last year. Yes, they had up quick.

[@rockscousteau]

Any of you dudes have Johns mailing address? I want to send him some packs to rip.

[@psychedelicpsycho]

Seeet pick up bro! Always enjoy the videos!

[@thepastisalive]

Thanks man!

[@jamesirwin2048]

Love all those Dodger cards!

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

Great way to spend $10. Randy Hundley and J.C.Martin were hometown players from here in Southern VA. I see you pulled two Moellers. Hope they didn’t hurt. 🤭

[@robertwilhite9821]

That was a very good random box quite a few good players

[@LinkRocks]

If I ever want to unload my collection of 70s/80s/90s cards I know who to turn to. You'd have a blast sifting through my massive collection. You probably wouldn't find anything you've already seen or have, but the joy of chasing is there. Heck, I don't know what all I have because there's so many cards in my collection.

[@thepastisalive]

That sounds awesome!

[@tangovictor7407]

Well worth it to me, anything with a bunch of 71s is worth looking thru for the Clemente

[@rex-freestylepackripps801]

What a box!!👍

[@dirkremmington]

Got $10? Of course it's a buy! Lots of fun cards hiding in there.

[@Swoop187OG187]

For $10 bucks you got another bargain there... I'm sure there are High Numbers in there too with the amount of 70-73's there are... Keep in mind some commons are highly desirable to set collectors and depending on their grade you can make some good money.... Look, that's why whenever I see brown I'm down - and it's one of the first questions I ask if I'm not around to buy a collection... "Are the cards brown or white".. Then of course "What year is on the back of the cards"..... Obviously everything after 1991 is white, everything before 91 is brown... So yea, if it's a brown collection I'm down, haha.... Of course I want nothing to do with 92-97 - all of those cards brick-up.. And I have tons of nightmares with what I'm going to do with the "foil" I did buy from that era...... Look man, I'm going to be the genius to figure out how to un-brick cards, I have numerous theories and enough product to test it on...I mean from a tax perspective it's a loss..... But dude, check it - my results will save your cards.. Dude there is a way.... The microwave doesn't work . so Imma try freezing and boiling water and just toss the pack into the boiling water to see what happens ... Flipping bricks, lol...

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Nica shape old cars, I stopped buying card till 1972, I was 13 years old a grow up adult man. LOL

[@robnordlund3831]

Yeah I see a lot of those 70s cards at card shows going for 4 or 5 for a dollar

[@mipierno]

Lucky find for only $10. The ‘72 Jim McAndrew high number alone is worth the price of admission.

[@jeremiahmcafee3816]

You read my mind.. i was thinking maybe hell find a ryan... then my brain said bet he gets a Koosman... literally just as you said that.

[@MrEriccloy]

A good bunch of 1970 high numbers there.

[@bigrich50ish]

hey the chris short card has Pete rose on 2nd base

[@Brotherjcardfinds]

1972 George Hendrick rookie and 1971 Tom Grieve rookie if you want some very minor rookies for your box.

[@pmn618]

I noticed about 20 or so high numbers worth $30 ish; would value the whole box around $45-50

[@bobtarnai9996]

Randy Jones, 1974 Padres, is a RC.

[@alanwarnock71]

71 chris short is $5 pete rose in background

[@jdsportscardsinc.616]

awesome loved it brother def buy

[@jamesgerwigjr9394]

Nice pick-up. Those types of cards are great for TTM'ers and set builders. There was a 1970 Topps Charlie Manuel RC. Holds a little value, outside shot at the Hall someday. Also, if there are high number commons they hold some value.

[@KORIGAN1]

This is awesome

[@justrob2656]

Yes, worth 10 just to dig through, I agree

[@codynastmets]

Hi Jon. I'd be interested in all of the Mets cards if you're looking to move them.

[@fivethreeone]

that's Lou's rookie year photo on the scratch offs!

[@threeg6966]

I collect ALL Chicago Cubs cards, so, that would have been worth the $10.oo to me. Might not have been a Home Run, but I would say it was at least a base hit.

[@floydfanTN]

Hey Jon i'd be interested in those 1970 commons.

[@michaeldellobuono1858]

Hey Jon I'd interested in a 71 starter set.

[@Mikeygee99]

Worth it, that’s how you’ll find the NNOF

[@peterleonardini239]

Did I see a 74 Topps Mike Schmidt, or was my eyes playing tricks on me??

[@godisgreat8462]

Hello from the rising sun Japan I am a new subscriber

[@thepastisalive]

Thank you for subscribing and welcome! Greetings from the US!

[@billschipper1718]

I see a lot of early 70s cards but mostly commons

[@LeslieCarey-cn5zp]

Hey jon it's Leslie could you possibly hold onto those Claude Osteen cards forme

[@DRAGON_FAN_TIM]

Hey Jon is it possible to get that card Dan Fife card from you. He was a high school coach near where I live and I been trying to track that card down. Here is the time stamp where it was at15:01.Thanks

[@alanwarnock71]

the 70, 71, 72's might be high series

[@MKYeahBuddy]

Worth a shot

[@erikcagle1177]

You know, I've seen 1971s in a lot worse condition, but maybe the camera covered a lot of the flaws (corners looked fairly sharp). You could keep the scratch-offs, break the rest into 3-4 100-count lots, maybe by year, and blow them out for 10 bucks a stack. Must've been picked, hardly any Reds. lol

[@phitchy]

Love it. I'd give you 10 bucks just for the Dodgers

[@Dllsfn72]

Hard to believe in these days. You can still find cards like that.

[@andden8998]

I'm so OCD seeing cards in a flimsy box no sleeves, makes me want to cry. But what a bargain.

[@fitzy23sportscards52]

Worth the gamble.

[@robertwilhite9821]

Them card companies couldn't center a card worth a crap, you'd thank they learn how by now and back then.

[@briankraus5052]

Minor rookie: 1974 Randy Jones

[@NathanKrausch-sb4rt]

Card Money adds upp

[@NathanKrausch-sb4rt]

Inflation increase cards price

[@mikegkelly123]

10buck? Heck ya!!!

[@mikezobnowski3679]

Guess he pulled the Schmidt rookie out of there..

[@robertabidin7982]

Just curious you heard about Roger Craig passing away. So now his card is going to be worth $1,000 lol

[@thepastisalive]

😂 most definitely. RIP ROGER

[@joshgoudreau6167]

I came across a 1990 bowman blaine beatty error card with wrong name on back don't see anything on internet are you familiar

[@thepastisalive]

I’ve never seen that one in particular but wrong backs in the junk wax era is fairly common to find. Still a cool one though

[@coolcardsandcollect]

10 bucks for all those old vintage cards seems like a deal to me

[@pedrovillarreal3431]

Danny tartabul short print.

[@johngibbs1025]

Look for 71-73 high numbers.

[@klb1apus]

How do you always find these great deals???

[@thepastisalive]

I think it’s about location (Pennsylvania has a lot of antique stores/flea markets) and nearly all of them always have cards. May very well have something to do with Topps always being located on the other side of the state.

[@jp82cards30]

as he says, definitely a location thing

[@soxbigdog]

71s are always beat up to begin with, other stuff is worth it for the money.... for 10 bucks, mize-well

[@thepastisalive]

Whenever in doubt, just think to yourself “MISE WELL”

[@MoDave82]

Score!!!

[@alanwarnock71]

1974 topps jeff boughrous RC

[@klb1apus]

How can I buy the cards that you don’t want??

[@thepastisalive]

I do online auctions on here on Wednesdays at 8pm. I sold the 70/71’s last week but the rest will be put up soon.

[@notforrobots]

I honestly can’t stand baseball cards but I love watching these videos.

[@alexmckeel9128]

Why

[@rockscousteau]

Hey....can you post your address man? Or tell me where it is on here. I wanna send you a box to open. I see cards all the time at flea markets. I will send you a super rip

[@thepastisalive]

That’s very cool of you to offer. My shipping info is Jon Jabs PO Box 202 Youngwood, PA 15697 Thank you!

[@rockscousteau]

@@thepastisalive ok awesome man. I go to flea markets all the time and trade average bottles I dig to dealers....sometimes for packs. I have been seeing some decent stuff at steals. i will just stockpile a bunch of packs the next few months. Maybe all summer and just send you a super rip. I will send you a message when I ship something out. I am going to try and go to this card store this month....I will get you a hobby box or something and send that first

[@SandevistanSeanzo]

That Maury Wills card might have a little value

[@Whogivesashit78]

Naaahhhhhh bs

[@AndrewKinloch-m8w]

Not worth the 10 dollars. 1972 George Hendrick rookie card in decent shape.

[@FSU2001]

I enjoy your videos but they frustrate me. You constantly find deals like this, and every time I go to the flea market all I find are wax packs of 88 Donruss for $6 each.

[@thepastisalive]

I see a lot of those awful prices too! I just get lucky sometimes and it’s all about being there early, otherwise things like this are gone instantly in most cases.

[@kimkrawczyk2199]

Nothing big. Obviously picked over. But we’ll worth $10

[@TheCarlitos562]

Would you happen want to sell all the vintage Dodgers cards 82 and older? And if so how much?

[@whatshappeningwithmychange3089]

$10 vengeance every time

[@MichaelMoloney-e5y]

Their doesn't seem to be any Yankees
