1954 Bowman Baseball Wax Pack Break - Alan "Mr. Mint" Rosen Collection

Breaking the Alan "Mr. Mint" Rosen 1954 Bowman Pack!

[@Mountainmansportscards]

Pack of commons. That's why you keep those packs sealed.

[@jamessekulich2344]

Can't believe that you put those valuable old cards into the worst card sleeves and without penny sleeves.

[@roberthuot7887]

I cannot believe that either.

[@brooklynbreaks2.0]

He’s an amateur

[@historybuff1483]

Semi rigids. Pretty common for vintage.

[@edwinbjorgen3790]

What a DA

[@cardsandcomics]

PSA used to reject vintage in penny sleeves. It's not really needed for vintage

[@coryhardcastle3031]

The fact that I waited six and a half minutes just for you to pull the first card shaking my head

[@user-tl5ub2wq5l]

Wow, that first 20 minutes of pack opening was awesome

[@trevordinsmore2194]

Really...six and a half minutes before we see a card.

[@lilyak1408]

He said "Hasent been opened since 1954..." lmao bro this pack was opened searched sold searched again resold probably 5 time until every card was trash! Poor guy

[@geoffrey8722]

So incredibly painful......to watch

[@Feargod999]

Why?

[@itguy8900]

Agree

[@allsomejunk2088]

RECKLESS

[@KYLEMATHENEY304]

So reckless he doesn't need to be ripping expensive packs cause after he handles them and throws them down and shoves them into the card saver without sleeves. Just plan out RECKLESS

[@jayvalentine2046]

In so many ways

[@christopherangeli8847]

Very entertaining, of course I enjoy watching paint dry.

[@joseph6507]

Part of Rosen's 1987 Paris Tennessee find. OVER 750 UNOPENED PACKS OF 54,55 BOWMAN,and 55TOPPS.

[@theodorerivera81]

Very cool video and cards. Vintage cards rock.

[@smichaels10]

I love the look of those cards.

[@JonathanWanchalk]

Great match. A bu m sc am mer (allan) with a person who doesn't know what the word "random" means. Lollll

[@rivrev65]

I can use the gum to put in my next pack of unopened cards.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

lol

[@jlee-yq4qt]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@willbryant9297]

Video should be titled “how to turn $7000 into $5”

[@anthonysaponaro6318]

people got to be out of their minds thinking these packs aren;t searched and then re-searched and then graded as unopened

[@golfmaniac007]

an experienced collector can tell if wax pack has been compromised. wax pack is like a fingerprint. now i wouldn't trust GAI grading cuz they are shady dealings in past.

[@aaronjohnson3463]

So has PSA.

[@Ben-ph7pv]

Most older products had a pack code so you. Literally could pick all the packs with a mantle out first

[@SP-qo3pd]

You can't trust people in the hobby, always out for themselves.

[@jimduncan-qw6xo]

Ouch. That really sucks.@@Ben-ph7pv

[@itguy8900]

Have you ever opened a pack before?

[@tonymoretti2347]

Searched pack all crappy commons. Thanks for coming out

[@ObsessedCollector]

I feel bad for the people that bought into this break. Pack was definitely searched and resealed.

[@joefran619]

nicely centered

[@jerseyshawn4283]

OMG that is def a repack the gum didn't even leave any marks

[@animalmother53]

1951-52 still best looking Bowman’s in my opinion.

[@jaycollector6555]

No penny sleeves before card saver??

[@JmfnP]

..... $0.01 ..... our thoughts EXACTLY my guy! 1st break watched, will never participate just due to the lack of $0.07 .....

[@historybuff1483]

Not for a semi rigid. PSA wont even accept them

[@twobobsboxbreaks3134]

Man oh man hard to watch. Sleeve before putting in plastic ultra… and there’s no way this pack wasn’t searched. W/o a PSA 10 year or Sg/BGS or whatever perfect grade, DO NOT INVEST

[@historybuff1483]

Its not normal to sleeve cards in a semi rigid and PSA wants them this way

[@yodapappacards]

Great opening oh well

[@shawnnixon2616]

Man . Get yourself a scalpel for opening those packs

[@billschipper1718]

No big cards but those cards look great.

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

You can use the gum to hammer nails!😄😄😄

[@don63]

Commons are worth something, but not what you paid for the pack.

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Hard to believe that these cards havent been seen already...

[@TheHelionOmega]

my dad was around 5 years old when that came out, he told me that the gum back then in some of the packs were as big as the cards.

[@ObsessedCollector]

Yes. Was pretty large until about the early 70s

[@nascarvintage17]

i have see that is incredible lol compared at the gomme exemple we finded on the box or pack o pee chee to 90@@ObsessedCollector

[@yankees29]

I remember opening a pack of 80 Topps and the gum was pretty big. I made 10 by eating the gum.😂 i opened the pack in 89 I think.

[@nascarvintage17]

Wait, did you eat the 1989 chewing gum? Weren't you sick?@@yankees29

[@yankees29]

@@nascarvintage17 I ate the 1980 gum in 1989. 🤣🤣

[@JM-yz2fj]

No penny sleeves?

[@larryunderwood1148]

Id like to have the gum. How much do you want for it?

[@antoniodelgado7469]

Really dude!!! U know better than that. Please get your prints off the cards. Pull the cards with a open hand. Gripping them on the side. This way is even better than the One Touch. And I would like to say Congratulations!!! This is something that people will always purchase from you!!! Your gonna sell out every time!!! Nice!!!

[@edwinbjorgen3790]

LOL

[@agoogleuser992]

you really thought you were going to get a Mickey Mantel, Ted Williams, or Roy Campanella?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jonnagel7022]

Especially with that authenticator GAI. Guaranteed that pack was searched.

[@ObsessedCollector]

That pack was searched. I wouldnt have trusted Mr Mint any farther than I could throw him. Dude was shady af. And Mr Mint was always RUDE.

[@mwdollar]

Great looking cards but realize that most packs have already been gone through and resealed. It is just WAY too easy to do with the wax and the rewards are too high. Live and learn.

[@jimduncan-qw6xo]

I agree. Too obvious! Leave it to Alan "MR MINT" Rosen to perfect resealed wax packs.

[@ObsessedCollector]

​@@jimduncan-qw6xoI ran into Mr Mint back in the 80s a few times. Not the nicest persona. Rude guy.

[@humdrum9653]

Mr.Rob got ya ha

[@guyincognito5598]

I fell asleep watching. What'd I miss?

[@mitchfredricks3851]

Apparently 10 minutes of my life I can't get back

[@breaks_n_stuff4049]

A lot easier to open then PSA he’s says… they are also a lot more tampered with too👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. GAI is not a reputable grader.

[@scratchking3205]

Mark Murphy who certed packs for GAI was the best ever. Much better than bbce

[@eltoroloco1936]

Depends on the time frame when graded. There are many early graded packs that are good. The older label looks like it was during the more than likely legitimate era. Thise cards look crisp too. Definitely 8's, some 9's and maybe a 10 in that pack

[@mitchfredricks3851]

Between those 7 less than "common" cards,i bet there wasnt 50 mlb games played in all of their careers.

[@jonnagel7022]

GAI? Bet that pack was searched before sending to that authenticator.

[@mousegrowing4951]

Send the gum to Junk Wax Sal

[@jeffreyelliott622]

I say you're NUTS if the unopened 1954 Bowman wax pack was graded by Beckett 7.5 why OPEN it to begin with for just more money and you didn't even have any big dogs in the pack at all !!! I wouldn't have opened it !!!

[@CollectorsChest]

No good Gus, no soft sleeves?

[@MsAmelia65]

Your “big prize”, went on to Brooklyn, and represented the final out in Don Larsen’s perfect Series game, in 1956. Not bad, but…beginning to wonder, given all the cards I’ve now seen, how many immortals in real life played the majors(?) Maybe we’re the ones getting played….

[@CB-ke7eq]

Womp womp

[@drewbonlender4405]

God damn be more careful putting them in sleeves haha

[@jayvalentine2046]

First time doing this i see

[@snapnpiksallthetime7672]

how much was the pack???

[@mitchfredricks3851]

$7000 for the "chance" at a mantle rookie or Ted Williams...maybe one of the 3 or 4 previous people to open that pack found them

[@dr.options]

It's considered bad luck to not chew the gum.

[@mikemike5123]

No stick gum ? Wonder if it was suger free lol

[@ObsessedCollector]

Those packs came from an attic I believe in Tennessee. 33% of the boxes and packs were destroyed by mice. I would think this is enough proof of a searched pack. Attics are not the best spots for unopened. Unless.the climate was decent.

[@mitchfredricks3851]

From 1950's you know that gum had lead in the food coloring,pressed by asbestos machines and probably even had medicinal cocaine in it so not to get a headache..lnao

[@timbrown8038]

No Mantle? Bummer

[@mikeemery4510]

I wonder how much these poor souls paid to be in this break.

[@jayvalentine2046]

7:08 Your a hack bro

[@spitfiregames5655]

Penny sleeves. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Drew-dd5nh]

At least the seller left him with a dollar to get, nothing in 2023. Wait, you can buy a $1 drink outside of Walmart.

[@rosafernandez3401]

wow that's an expensive pack of commons---lol.

[@PackHeightsCollectibles]

Tell me about !

[@vintage.baseball]

@@PackHeightsCollectibles PSA 8 commons are still about $100 each, so still not too bad.

[@breaks_n_stuff4049]

TAMPERED

[@oldandbitter]

@@vintage.baseball And $50 to grade and the wait and eBay fees. You're still only getting a few bucks. And that's assuming you didn't pay much for the raw card.

[@jst1redeye]

Terrible. You did not use penny sleeves before putting in top loader. Glad I didn't get a spot

[@martinedwards4522]

get on with it

[@jlee-yq4qt]

Wow what a hot pack of garbage, that is a definite reseal, save the gum though to out back into the pack

[@paysongeorge7080]

Lol. You are joking right!!

[@brandonroseville]

Yo

[@questtech7148]

My father had thousands of baseball cards from the 50s and 60s and gave them all away to his neighbor. My grandfather traded 5 acres of property for a boat that he later sold for $250.. I come from a long line of financial losers.

[@KYLEMATHENEY304]

So so Reckless shoving those cards into the worst card savers and without any sleeves at that, whoever pain into that break deserves a 50% discount on the buy in cause that was so RECKLESS. HURTS TO WATCH

[@historybuff1483]

Semi rigid sleeves are common for vintage

[@rdj3video]

Fortunate enough to have received a bunch of 1954 Bowman from an uncle. No Mantle or Ted, but have a Mays. These cards are vintage, but super ugly with the autographs inside the rectangular box. This video probably should have taken 3 minutes.

[@eltoroloco1936]

It's a group break, not just a pack break. There are multiple people involved with money invested. But he could work on a proper tool to cut three sides of the holder.

[@gregoryerway8551]

Cringed the entire time you were cutting that open. Holding the cards with your finger prints. Never showed the condition of the back. Please take this as constructive criticism for next break.

[@eltoroloco1936]

These aren't chrome cards dude.

[@therealogbaggy470]

Where is your penny sleeve

[@brandonduhon1933]

There’s cards are probably too large for the regular parent sleeves , also a lot of vintage guys use these top loaders It kills me

[@jmc_-im6sd]

They don't fit. Have you never held a 54 Bowman? They're huge

[@justinkoeberl5797]

@@jmc_-im6sd they have penny sleeves that will fit these

10 minutes and 35 seconds. Would have been far less boring if you did it in three.

zzzzz Give you $20 for the lot, gum included of course.

[@ObsessedCollector]

Id pay 20 for just the wrapper 😊

[@ozman1966]

Why no penny sleeves? For a non scratched up slide, lol, but all worthless dud's anyway.

What should be illegal, exactly?

[@justinkoeberl5797]

@dave idmarx selling "unopened " packs of cards, especially from that era...it is WAY too easy to open these packs, search them and reseal them without detection...hell most are just people that buy the wrappers and put a bunch of commons in...there is no way to accurately detect if these packs are legitimately unopened or searched.

[@caesarvalentin6332]

What is the chance to find a star in a wax pack? .0099657 percent, what a waste of money opening a vintage wax pack, not a clever idea

[@murphaa9564]

Define bad luck and waste of time/money in one video!!

[@user-ku6vv8sb5d]

No penny sleeves 😂 rookie

[@TheShipNaturalist]

Your handling of the cards as you put them in the card savers is embarrassing - you actually whip the plastic on card #2! It is easy to prevent this - put the cards in penny sleeves and cut one of the edges of the card saver for easy insertion (and likely grading with PSA). Level up folks! We need to teach new collectors the best practices!

[@peterchoe]

for years people grading and handling high end vintage cards never put them in penny sleeves. As someone else pointed out, PSA actively discouraged it for a while. What advantage does a penny sleeve even offer in a card saver? People love to be armchair experts.

[@eltoroloco1936]

These aren't Chrome or Prizm boss, go back to the minor leagues with your advice.

[@deadrabbits8788]

Penny sleeve will help prevent scratching DA

[@TheShipNaturalist]

Really? I always felt like I was committing some sort of unholy crime by putting a card "naked" into a card saver. It seems like a great way to ruin the surface. I wouldn't say that I am an armchair expert... a bit more than that. More like a Chez Lounge Enthusiast. @@peterchoe
