Amazing Sports Card Collection Found on the Side of the Road

[@underrated7725]

Man, I'm sure this is what every card collector dreams of. Man, what a find.

[@dannygriner4419]

You should go back and give them some money bro , they gave you a find of a lifetime

It's called Topps Finest

[@justinvanderschaaff5545]

Man this is the find of a lifetime. Good for you!

[@vintagesportscardfinds964]

And this is why as a sports card collector, you need to sell your cards before you die. I know it's tough but your relatives will give it away to the first person for 30 or 40 bucks to make room in the garage. You should go back and get those people some money because if that's a complete 72 set it's worth some big money and anything with Mickey Mantle is worth money. There has to be a few thousand dollars worth of cards there and if you start grading them forget about it.

[@tannerdavis8163]

100-120 for that Ernie, you found what every collector dreams of

Thank You

That binder is sweet. Man you were definitely in the right place at the right time. That will never happen again.

[@paulchamberlain4527]

Awesome find. I think those Wilt cards would look great in my collection. If I could afford them that is. Im a hockey guy, mainly Flyers, but I do collect players with my last name

[@bunyonfirewood]

I have a pretty decent hockey collection of a lot of HOF. But I’m not much of a fan. Would love to work something out to get them to someone that cares👍🏽

Talk about some luck awesome find Ruben. That vintage basketball is great. Not to mention the 62 Topps cards. Not to mention those signed Jimmy Dean autographs. This is what YT is all about to document something that is so great like this. It will be hard to match this find ever again. Happy Collecting!

[@JesseBookout]

I wld of gave him $40 for the binder alone without turning the page lol... good find man

[@MadchenLear]

Once I saw those Mays I knew this was a 1k+ profit easy. Crazy.

[@Swoop187OG187]

1k profit? LMAO, try 5 to 7k profit raw. If this kid gets the cards graded who knows? he may be set for life on this deal alone.. For all intents and purposes this dude just hit the lottery, lol..

[@MadchenLear]

@@Swoop187OG187 craziest part is he didn't even show everything. And it looks like the original owner kept things in pretty good condition. It's definitely upward 10k+ if graded. Just hope he does his research extensively, with the way the market is now because people will undervalue/scam this collection dry without hesitation

[@Swoop187OG187]

@@MadchenLear I would say even raw this collection could fetch 10k+... I mean depending on the grades some of those cards could get over 10k individually.. If this kid gets PSA 8's or higher the sky is the limit... I mean if someone came to me with that collection and wanted 10k that wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities and I would probably pay it if there were a handful of high grade cards in that lot.... Either way I don't think the kid even knows what he has. Sure he may be familiar with some of the names but the way he's handling the cards and approaching this find it's clear to me that he has limited knowledge and experience with cards - let alone vintage.

[@hugomoore2283]

bro, back in the day "it cost like $15 per card and a new case is llike $8", that was the good times, damn.

[@wento5461]

The binder alone was worth the 30 bucks!!!! Congrats man!!

[@mikeboyer612]

Nice find that's for sure. Like this...

[@garygor1960]

Emmitt Smith rookie is in the score update set

[@jaycutty1738]

wow!!! I never find deals like that I would of gave atleast 200 bucks

[@PassLakeR]

Love that Ernie Banks card. What a find!!!

[@tleevee62]

This is almost like an Uncle Jimmy mini stash. On the positive, I fantasize about finding a stash like this. On the negative, this is what will happen when 80% of us collectors/investors go to the great show in the sky. Think about it. How many people close to you even understand collecting . I really enjoyed the vid!

Are those all originals or some reprints? In particular the OJ, Wilt, and Mantle!?

When I was a kid I saw that wilt card in my local card shop it was $400 lol you got a deal of a life time

[@80sgemini30]

I also came across a find like this unbelievable shape. Handfuls duplicates of Griffey Junior rookies bonds rookies Clemens rookies the list goes on! I felt like a kid again

[@BIGBOY33156]

You have some solid 70s rookie cards Munson Roger S OJ Winfield Fisk. The early 70s basketball cards of hall of fame players. I would get them definitely get them psa graded. The mantles and Willie mays in psa will bring big money. Man I've been collecting my whole life and could only wish to find such an amazing collection for 30 dollars. Raw id value this collection at a 1000.00. And graded possible 2 - 5 thousand.

Wow just the basketball cards are well worth the 40 $ , nice haul man congrats i know these dont show up too often without having to shell out boocoo chedder

[@kingstonagainstcorruption2268]

Saw a 1974 Dave Winfield rookie. Great card but I see a bunch of great cards! Some poor guy probably died and they had no idea what they were. Makes me want to sell all mine now and get what I can as opposed to dying and leaving for someone to sell them for pennies on the dollar ...

[@martinsingerboy]

Wow! Congratulations

[@brentwalker5726]

Wow...stuff like that never happens to me. That Willie Mays all-star card you have is worth good money if its in good shape. Definitely get it graded even if you think it'll only get a 3 or 4. That card comes from the 1961 "high numbers". Topps put cards out in several series back then and the final series is always hard to find. The 1961 high numbers may be the rarest. Raw common cards in decent shape sell for $30-40 on eBay. That Willie Mays all-star would probably sell for at least $100 if its a 4 or 5. Its worth WAY MORE if its a 7 or higher. Maybe thousands if its 8 or higher. I'm so jealous! Nice find man...

Wooowww! Wish i could have such luck. Pretty sure I saw a Michael Jordan rookie card when you were flipping thru the binder. Somewhere in the top middle of one of the pages after the old basketball cards. What's your eBay user name? My son and I would be interested in some if you'd like to help us out with our collection.

[@chaugen9343]

Not a jordan rookie

[@josephsalerno7325]

Great find, before sending out, look at the centering of the cards, if they are off center, it effects the grading in a big way. You should contact PSA and see if they will give you a group pricing rate.

[@rubenintheshop1273]

Thank you! I finally looked into the pricing and it seems worth the adventure. I'm seeing $10 for vintage cards and $12 for Newer Runs 1972+. What's the best way to contact them. And how many should I expect to send out? Thank you for watching and contributing to the fun!

[@josephsalerno7325]

You can go into the PSA website and pull the number. I haven't done it in some time. The Brian Piccolo rookie might be worth grading. Died young and was Gale Sayers best friend. The movie Brian's Song is based on their relationship and Brian's death.

[@rubenintheshop1273]

Thank you for your insight. I've begun the grading process and will post an update video soon. Brian's song is one of my dad's favorite movies. I think it would be cool to have the 2 graded and sold together. Or if my dad wanted them, he could have them.

[@adilynaway718]

Why didn’t u record buying the cards. I got a deal like this where I paid $50 for some cards . There was 4 Walter Payton rookies right off the bat.

[@chaugen9343]

@@rubenintheshop1273 of course...not a high dollar raw card but definitely worth getting graded. Highly overlooked hall of fame player. Also...just thought I should mention something. There should be no rush to get these graded....I know everyone is in the comments is excited for you...but grading is expensive. Take the time to learn about the grading process and maybe research each card to find the implied value. Hopefully I'm not getting too preachy...but these vintage cards are getting harder and harder to find in good shape...so it's worth taking your time. The good thing about vintage cards is that they aren't subject to the modern attention span. Anyway...good luck.
