After about a 20 year absence from the hobby, one thing I've noticed I don't like about the modern Era is the amount of relic and autos they produce these days. Now they're almost just as much as a common is worth unless you get a big time star. The thrill of receiving one is diluted when it says 2 per box.

[@thorthedog6149]

Yeah 90% of them are relief pitchers. 🗑🗑🗑

[@golfmaniac007]

Yes, so many 1/1 cards out now that it’s become a common card 😂

[@jakestoe]

@@golfmaniac007 did you watch Card Collector 2 (Ryan) video the other day? He found and bought a 1/1 from a dollar box 😆 🤣

[@badgerz3804]

Chris, great pickups...thanks for sharing your finds

[@fasteddiep43]

Nice bayler, awesome pic up. And I'm happy you mentioned Greg Morris great auctions.

[@chrisc4264]

Wish I had the money and resources to buy vintage but there very few card shows where I live. I'm finishing up collecting soon with a few cheaper Kobe cards. I did see a Charlotte Orange 1980 Ripken on ebay other day in a PSA 1 but asking price was very high. Thanks for sharing your purchases with us. If there was a Masterclass of sports cards, I'd like only you to be the teacher.

[@larrygitlin6017]

That was fun seeing what you buy to sell. Buying in bulk and selling is very interesting and specialized as you said most dealers do not know what to do with the cards. I watch in amazement as you caculate your profit.

[@tommayrant2279]

Nice to see Kaat finally make it into the HOF stack. I bought his rookie for fifty cents around 1982 and have kept it ever since. Thanks for the video, Chris!

[@groundballsgarage1081]

Chris...great meeting you and chatting at our local show! Thanks to you and Dustin for getting a picture with my son...made his day! I'm still looking for that 56 Koufax...it will be a target for 2022! Again good seeing you at the show, great pickups, and happy new year!

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Great meeting you and your son as well!

[@leeo3983]

I was there on Saturday. Wish I could of said Hi and thank you for the great videos! Thanks Chris!

[@Optable]

Favorite type of video you’ve made so far. Great insights on profit taking. Even for low returns, it really adds up and both parties are happy to come together on good deals!

[@doyleshipman7245]

Chris, i just love ur channel and all u do. Awesome channel

[@danielginsburg9558]

That one 3-row box filled with baseball commons to 1974 was the coolest thing I ever saw you buy! (I would have loved to buy something like that for myself). The last card shown in the very last box was an Emmitt Smith rookie - it can be worth a lot in a high grade. I just sent one off to HGA to get graded.

[@davidthompson62]

I applaud your enthusiasm for junk wax stars in large lots….I bought enough of those packs in my early 20’s to ever want to see another one. Infact I believe I trashed most of them as I got tired of lugging them around

[@Cards-In-The-Closet]

This is like subscribing to a Master Class series! I especially love hearing your thought process on you plans for each purchase. That’s very helpful for someone like me who’s starting to sell their collection, but know of nothing besides eBay and COMC. I’m sure it could get complicated on how you chose what goes where, but I would like to hear you logic on how you make the determination of where you send singles in a future video. Does it depend on year, player, graded vs raw, fees? This is all very interesting!

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Thank you and that’s a great idea for a future video…

[@michaelgolden4938]

Man, that Elgin rookie sounds like a really good deal

[@TomBruns-by3vn]

I love the Fleer 1961 NBA cards

[@andre_boulet_guitar]

Amazing to see how low prices are on vintage, autos and jerseys cards. When i finally catch one of those i think i hit the jackpot when it is obviously not the case. 🤔😐 I would love to find boxes like those at those prices.

[@ChadRaush]

It really is insane how many cards were produced in the junk wax era. I wonder what those roger Clemens cards were selling for when they were first released.

[@kunacoins9246]

Great channel...interesting and informative! Thanks Chris.

Signed cards have become so common that non-stars apparently sell 2 for a dollar.

[@festerespisito9356]

A follow up video showing how much some of these cards sold for would be awesome

[@nancyfail160]

Hey Chris l met you at the Raleigh show. I went up to you and said hey aren't you Chris that guy on youtube and you said yes, whats your name and l said Tommy. That was it but nice seeing you do a vidio on the Raleigh show. I was the older gentleman a little on the short side. Was kind of surprized at how tall you are. Hope you have a great New Year. 😊😊😊

Great pickups. The Elgin Baylor card was really nice!

What a weird policy... usually shows like the coverage they get from videos and pictures. Glad you're back Sewall!

[@bigwes411]

Great show Chris I heard my name Thanks again for the sale

[@frankguastella3305]

Great podcast Chris! I go to shows the same way. No preconceived notions of what I am buying. Just looking for the best deals I can get. I like buying the off-grade bulk vintage lots because they are excellent for eBay selling. I also like buying the oddball items like 1964 Topps Giants, Deckle Edge cards, Topps Posters and Game Inserts, Salada Coins, 1970 Topps Supers, etc

[@donchounard5252]

These are my favorite types of videos that you put out. Very educational.

[@shakascloset1700]

Awesome pick up's, if you see some Yoan moncada's, I'm your man. He's my main PC player. I just pulled his A&G chrome mini superfractor in my first break in years.

[@pkelley1819]

Enjoyed the video, and appreciate the detailed commentary. It is interesting to get a peek behind the curtains from a veteran dealer!

[@earheadsix4119]

Oh cool, Tim Rossovich, he played a lot of heavies on tv and B movies after he retired from football.

[@joepoirot7880]

Nice upgrade on the Baylor! Funny when we can't recall if we own a card--nice when we do and can upgrade with minimal cost incurred... Well played, sir! And Happy Holidays!

[@ricecakejohnson]

It is pretty insane where you walk into a show, and half of the people are filming.

[@RParmable]

Cool to see you sort through cards with such ease. Your knowledge is quite extensive.

[@playmaker88x51]

Solid! Thanks for sharing!

[@thechuckwagon5403]

You gotta be the only one I know with a massive random card collection

[@terrytitus6945]

I was surprised to see the 50s,60s so low even in lesser condition.Those cards are great for TTM of the ones still alive.Your junk wax cards reminded me of when I was picking up 88T Marino's at a dime each,still can't believe the 3 million cards were all commons!

Great seeing you man, come back anytime!

Cool Video! Thanks for all u do for hobby. You are the G.O.A.T. imo..

[@jeremysetzer6226]

Oh no! You were that close and I missed it! I knew you had mentioned Raleigh. But I failed to follow up. Got sick the weekend of the 12th. Keep us posted if you hit the southeast again. I know that's not a usual stop for you.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

I really enjoyed the Raleigh show so I will probably go there again at some point

Brady jersey will easily bring 100 nice grabs great vid.

[@comebackcardcollector]

How many wax boxes were opened to accumulate 1,500 Roger Clemens 87 Topps cards, I wonder? Impressive.

[@PaulKatcher]

That huge 1987 Topps Roger Clemens lot is probably most valuable to someone working on an art project. Roughly three cents a card after 34 years; probably not worth hanging onto for another three decades!

[@kenrogers1948]

I might be a buyer for the 1970 and 71 basketball... sending email

[@philiphewitt1801]

Chris I wish I had your knowledge. I have all brands of all sports from 2013 - 2020 optic 2016 is my favorite .I never thought of selling them .I was addicted to the rip .

[@jaycummings7594]

Kinda wish now I would have gone. I was sitting on the fence and couldn't pull the trigger, what with it getting close to the holidays. I'm definitely not flying to Holland to see Chris, though.

[@258cac]

Chris, towards the end you mentioned 2nd year Tom Brady cards (2002). I also see a lot of eBay listings of 2002’s labeled 2nd year, but aren’t they 3rd year?? His Rookie is 2000, and he doesn’t have many 2001 cards (I think there are 3, like the 2001 UD Rookie F/X), but because there are only three 2001’s aren’t the 2002’s all 3rd year?

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Yes you are correct. 2002 are technically his third year card

[@bigjax731]

Awesome stuff

[@henrys3629]

1500 Clemens? Nice. Think if 1-3 were in each box, that's a ton of ripping.

[@amlethc]

Random question. Does Matt Brash have any cards? Pitching Ninja is right about how filthy the dude is, but I can not find a card or even an image of a card for him. He was drafted in 2017 by the Padres.

[@rj-vj8gr]

Nice pickup on the cards.

[@nealarnett9394]

Great video! Super pickups at some good prices. I went to a card shoo-in Huntington WV a couple weeks ago and they were really proud of their cards at that one. One guy wanted $1,000 for a 56 Aaron. Was in terrible shape. Looked at recent comps and was selling way below that in better shape. Would not budge any on it. Love the content. Thanks for sharing! God Bless!!

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

I have a huge nascar card collection including lots of Earnhardt auto graphs. I have the 88 complete set and the rare leaked #99 Earnhardt. I doubt I can get my money back now. I collected for me. I love all sports cards and wish I had not passed on Hank Aaron rookie years ago.

How do you make money after eBay fees and taxes because you pay for everything with cash?

[@sw1217]

Thanks for sharing your pick ups and dealer insights. I'm assuming after eBay fees and taxes your margins/ROI take a pretty good hit. In that case, should you not go for higher margin deals?

At shows, you are buying from dealers so getting higher margins is tough

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

I always thought vintage commons would go for more because people would want to complete sets but I think I’m wrong. Do people still complete sets?

[@collectorinvestordealer]

A lot of people put sets together. But the vintage commons don’t go very high unless they are high grade

[@seamdiest]

In the last year I finished a 1963 Astronauts 3D non sport set 1969 Basketball set. 1968 Hockey set working on 1970 Basketball set still need 2 cards Tom Van Arsdale and Pete Maravich. Also working on 1968 Mod Squad and 1951 Jets Rockets and Spacemen. All easier said then done. Cards are available but it’s the time to enjoy them as you hunt them down. Also as you pick up vintage cards some have incredible stories of the previous collector that go along with the cards

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

@@seamdiest that’s really cool. Might inspire me to get started.

I'd be curious what your opinion is on investing in unopened wax. Is it a good investment? Opinion on retail vs hobby. Is modern wax a good investment or too risky given the possible print runs.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

It depends on many things but in general investing in unopened wax has been a pretty good investment in the past although I would be cautious with ultra modern as it’s so expensive out of the gate

[@barefeet7585]

Hello. great channel. question: are subgrades on vintage cards worth the extra cost?

[@robertarnold9594]

Chris, another good video as usual! Question for you. What are your long term thoughts on Derek Jeter 1993 SP (raw but looks to be NM). I have someone from my local card shop trying to sell me this card for only $200 because he believes with the higher pop counts it would not be a good long term investment. I collect because I love to collect and wouldn't mind adding this card to my collection, but as the old saying goes, "your wants usually outweighs your wallet." I have other cards that I am focusing on, but am possibly interested in this card. Decision totally on me, but just wanted to get your thoughts as long term investment? Thanks in advance.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

I think the 93 SP Jeter is a good long term card. Iconic rookie card of an alltime popular player

[@peteblueline]

Hey Chris as always great show topics etc. I've been collecting on and off since 1985. Our government has been talking, how it's time to raise interest rates and some assets will probably be affected, Sport cards went up last couple yrs for many reasons, I believe the main reason was the low interest rates(cheap money), Graded cards have been really great for hobby, especially when your buying online, & Covid lockdowns (people had got back into card collecting because people were stuck at home, Jordans documentary was released) Sorry about the rambling, but I have alot of concern about sports cards are addicted to these stimulus checks & low rates. Once they start raising interest rates, possible 2% in next yr or 2, This will change where people put their money & Sport cards could easily go down to pre covid prices

[@collectorinvestordealer]

That could be the case, but I have been in the hobby 30+ years and seen all sorts of ups and downs. I dont think the hobby will ever just collapse. It may have some down ticks here and there like any industry.
