This Flea Market Sports Card Deal Was One For The Ages!

[@dhall241]

I dont agree that he ripped the guy off. Having had a card shop for years, the majority of the stuff won't sell a d will require a lot of work.

[@Trill.Clipz.Channel]

I thought the same thing. The guy probably felt good to off load all that.

[@DetroitTyler]

Changing penny sleeves or top loaders that have price stickers? 4 hours labor?

[@Trill.Clipz.Channel]

@@DetroitTyler change the penny sleeves & then do what? Just stare at them in the box??? You trippin. going through each one 1-2 hours, checking prices 1-3 hours, posting them on eBay with description 5-6 hours for 1500+ cards? It’ll take multiple days buddy

[@StackCityCards]

Those are great boxes and a big collectors market for that stuff. I’ve dealt with collections like that and they fly off the shelf because it’s not the stuff that you constantly see everywhere. Great stuff! Plenty of big surprises I bet too.

[@BigDirtDawg]

I can’t believe he let all this go for $350. To be honest I can’t believe he started at $400 and low balled himself. And what’s even worse is I live right around the corner from Browns market and set up there several times. Can’t believe I missed this dude. Anyways good find.

[@PapaLu08]

lol people forget you go to flea markets and yard sales for really good deals. This was a really good deal. Awesome video man.

[@murlbailer3755]

I collected so many cards when I was younger,all sports and others. Finally started giving them away ( I was keeping them all). Worked in a sports card shop for about two years. Finally had to decide what to keep. I went with rookie card. I have them in all major sports and all in new condition. Not a dud in the bunch. Don’t keep any card that is not in A1 condition ( except maybe a few older cards from my personal collection). Have been boxed for years. ✌️

[@charlesanderson6461]

Awesome stuff for $350. I saw a 1992 Bowman Mike Piazza Rookie that I think you skipped over. That was the card from that amazing set. .

[@jordanparker5949]

I caught that too. That was a card I put in my rookie box and then a year later found it.

[@steveharmon735]

Any deal in which you find cards that you like is a good deal. For me, if the asking price is out of your price range, dont buy. I have been very picky and very lucky. I prefer to go to three day shows. I scope out the dealers and the cards, check the prices, and if too much I pass. I come back the last day of the show and find deals on the cards I want. Found many Jordans that way.

[@beneasterling3846]

The 1994 Donruss Griffey is a special edition. Fleer made the gold medallion parallel.

[@howardsun]

Thats a great deal for $350 get you so much happiness

[@americanarbitragecards]

Definitely, I was stoked with the haul.

[@jasonking971]

400 was fair. Obviously all the fans here will crap on me saying it, but i dont think a lower offer was necassary. Thats easily a couple thousand worth of cards and he offered 1/4 of that. Whatever tho, good for you i guess. Just was cheap.

[@stryckervt1831]

Great buy! And I'm sure he's hauled it back and forth so many times, 2 more boxes he doesn't need to haul and a fair price since he called first shot. It's a grind to check condition and sell individual cards like that. Some low # possibly grade worthy and easy sells.

[@markthompson7503]

What a steal! For sure lots of value there. Robert Ulrich was in my favorite show as a kid, SWAT.

[@zbudj8602]

Dude had $150 price tags on single cards but sold the 800-1000 card lot (guestimating) for $350. Crazy.

[@scottleatherman163]

GREAT deal! Well done and everyone was happy that’s all that matters!

[@mikehenderson4327]

This is an awesome yard sale that they have once a month the first Saturday of every month I set up there every month and do great it's an Oxford Florida

[@Ragerwaxripper]

Yup good man let some kids find those cards , im sure it be a great memory , if I remember correctly when id come across set of random cards

[@jasonking971]

20 is about right on that pacific vanguard rice. Some nice late 90s stuff that will sell easy in auction. Late 90s and early 2000s parallels or even just holo looking cards sell great. Not crazy high, but even no names will fetch a couple bucks

[@bourbonbeltcards6392]

Seems like a nice deal for both buyer and seller

[@americanarbitragecards]

I agree :)

[@garrettwalker6939]

cool video sir. Thanks. for. a. fun highlightd. of. showing. sports. history . Have a. good. weekend

[@murlbailer3755]

Got Gold Signatures. I remember everyone was looking for them. I was buying those packs all over town 😂.

[@christophermitchell4455]

Do you have a final count on the number of cards in the 2 boxes? Nice come up! Ignore the haters. They are jealous keyboard warriors.

[@flybone100]

It was probably $350 just in the supplies.

[@TheRealDealMemorabilia]

Ha ha, and most of it was already priced, so even if you don’t know what’s what, that legwork was worth $350 in time even at $1 an hour lol. Congrats on the steal! Anybody who is cries about it has never been a buyer, and should realize now you can sell it cheaper to them now.

[@louiseochoada6956]

It’s funny how people just tend to get mad at the dude filming. Let’s be honest… if it’s you, probably would do the same too!!! Deal is a deal, you can’t just buy something the is more than your budget. If you don’t like how the dude buy stuff then buy it yourself instead of being a toxic individual!!!

[@Lswat717Ent]

This is such a cool video especially when I just started my reselling journey to watch keep up with the great work

[@ChadReno-r3f]

350 bucks with cheap as hell I would buy that deal every single day

[@YuGiOhDuelChannel]

It would be awesome if you showed what you made on this deal, or what some of those standout cards are worth on vid, I mean that is what everyone really wants to know lol

[@danNat978]

Market is crazy for sure I buy 90 percent graded cars these days

[@m3equals333]

Those are 1k raw cards per row. With some cases and sleeves, conservatively 300 cards per row. Dis you not get like 1k cards? Even at $2, you ripped that man off I think

[@whathappenkidoos]

Bro that was easy 2000 ball park no way it was for $400 . thats so sad he put in all that work into it so sad

[@americanarbitragecards]

How do you know that? He may have bought it that way

[@mofny]

Anything good of Roy Oswalt, Tim Hudson, Johan Santana, or Kevin Brown?

[@MyerheadsCards]

Enjoyed the video! Great haul

[@WalkingThroughTheStorm]

What do you estimate you'll make on this purchase? If I'm guessing correctly, I'd assume you will pull in $2000+

[@ThriftShopHustler]

I would of gave him the $400, but thats why I suck at this...

[@JohnnyLightningV10]

400 more than fair....I wouldnt haggle especially knowing what was in there.

[@ThriftShopHustler]

@@JohnnyLightningV10 Nice lot, lots of fun in there im sure!

[@dafreak117]

That's still a steal at 400. That's a huge well sorted collection. Hell just the supplies were worth a lot.

[@foundthingsifound]

You don't suck, you are kind

[@ThriftShopHustler]

@@foundthingsifound I think there is a common thought in most modern day "collectors" that you need to get everything for the lowest price possible and sell at the highest price possible. I would of just gave the guy $400 as it seemed way more than fair. But I don't knock, too much, the youtube creator for trying to get a better deal.

[@mofny]

I haven't seen good stuff like this at the flea market in a long time.

[@americanarbitragecards]

I didn't see a lot that day....but all it takes is one good table :)

[@KonaCards]

Amazing find and great negotiation. Glad you put $350 in his pocket. I don’t understand People saying you ripped him off, this stuff is not going to sell itself. They’re is plenty of work and effort that will be needed to sell this stuff. Also I’m sure he did not invidually price those cards, it seems like he purchased a storage or got a good deal on these , obviously he was winning at $350 both parties were happy. 🤝 great job man will look forward to your auctions!

Would have been funny if he would have held at 400 and you would have missed on the deal.

[@moronsaltable]

Cards with patches that say 'game used' most likely weren't if they were before 2010

[@americanarbitragecards]

What do you base this claim on?

[@moronsaltable]

@americanarbitragecards I can give links or paste the info. Dealers have spent prison time and the card companies knew they were buying jerseys that weren't game used

[@moronsaltable]

@americanarbitragecards from the Daily news A sports memorabilia dealer who pleaded guilty to mail fraud last week told the FBI he sold bogus game-used jerseys to the most prominent trading card manufacturers in the business - and the card companies, which cut up the garments and insert swathes of cloth into premium cards, were in on the scam, fully aware that they were passing along fake collectibles to consumers. Bradley Wells told agents that buyers from Panini America, Upper Deck and Topps knew they were purchasing phony game-used jerseys to insert in the premium cards, which means thousands of collectors who thought they were buying collectibles that linked them directly to their favorite athletes may have been deceived. “Wells was asked if the card companies knew that what he was selling to them was not game used,” said a summary of a 2009 FBI interview that was included in a motion submitted to a federal court in Rockford, Ill., by Wells’ attorney, Rocco Cipparone, in June. “Wells said that the card companies were too smart to put their beliefs in writing, but they knew a lot of what they were buying from resellers like Wells was not game used. “Wells recalled a conversation he had with (an Upper Deck buyer) at the Anaheim (Calif.) National Sports Collectors Convention approximately three years ago. During the conversation, (the buyer) told Wells that Upper Deck needed eight Derek Jeter jerseys and was willing to pay between $1,000 and $1,200 each,” the document continued. “Wells told (the buyer) that he was paying between $3,500 and from Steiner Sports and Steiner Sports obtained their Jeter jerseys directly from the New York Yankees. Wells told (the buyer) that by paying only $1,200 for Jeter jerseys, Upper Deck was inviting fraud. (The buyer) said that Upper Deck knew what they were getting, but the needed the Jeter jerseys at the minimum price.” Cipparone told the Daily News he is not aware of any federal investigations into the trading-card companies. “Game-used cards,” first introduced in the mid-1990s, are popular with collectors because they give sports fans an opportunity to own a piece of a jersey or bat used by their favorite athletes, said Brian Gray, the owner of Leaf Trading Cards.

@americanarbitragecards W/e makes you feel better, you should've been thrilled w 400 and left it alone. Asking for more was just being greedy. Honestly surprised you even had the nerve to offer 300 when it was obvious he was already hemorrhaging it for 400 just to get rid of it all. W/e, to each their own.

[@RobertLee-wi5kc]

Wouldn't you do better just selling at a show? I have heard whatnot is a race to the lowest price ands sellers are walking away?

[@americanarbitragecards]

Selling at a show isn’t a bad idea for sure. I do enjoy a lot about whatnot though personally.

[@brendanbullock9468]

Whatnot is all about building a following and having a good number of people in your room when you are running an auction. Try to auction off a highend card when there's only 3 people in the room, and yeah, you're going to get hosed. You can set the start price on auctions though - which is basically a reserve so you don't have to just give things away. I have done a ton of buying on there and have just started selling.
