His MOM KEPT the SPORTS CARDS! Now What!?

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

What would you do? Sell or keep these cards?

[@joshuaschecter]

I would keep them. Especially if my son, daughter or grandchild would cherish them.

[@briancadotte5997]

I would sell just one card and pass on the others

[@Ryan-su2qk]

I collect vintage baseball, basketball & football and store them in binders. Should I put the more “valuable” cards in penny sleeves & then put them back in plastic sheets?

[@WAUK-TOWN74]

@@Ryan-su2qk penny sleeves.....when in a binder and turning pages it's like a book and you can bend them if not careful....Think of a used book and pages

[@DustinDemonic]

Sell all & I love TY & the show, but unfortunately their eBay store (or whoever runs it) is absolutely ridiculously overpriced. Watch Ty pay $2500 for a card then see it on their eBay for 10grand. While the comps are 2grand & $2440. Literally the most overpriced ridiculous eBay store I have ever seen. Watch Ty pay 60-80% of comps then ask 4X. Nuckin Futs

This is the episode that reinvigorated my card collecting. I watched this and went back and looked at my old cards and started to go after a few others. Thanks for sharing again.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

That’s awesome! Glad it inspired you!

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

I’m enjoying these “bits” from previous episodes. I have the utmost respect for you, Ty. You didn’t try to talk Karl into selling them to you even though this is the type of collection you seek. Instead, you helped convince him to keep them and pass down to his family.

[@exploremorecrds]

I could watch this content all day. So encouraging

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

[@davelerner8461]

As cut throat as this hobby is, thank you for doing the right thing with this guy and helping him with the collection vs. trying to negotiate a deal, that is what the hobby is about and not making money! Good job!

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

I believe the hobby can be about the collecting and values/selling. They absolutely can co-exist.

[@davelerner8461]

@@CHASINGCARDBOARD Agreed, but there are people out there who would have tried to pressure him into selling the collection and you didn't so hats off to you, it was the right thing to do.

[@topps85401]

That collection reminds me of my dads childhood collection. It was passed down to me and I was able to complete the 1959 set started in my dad’s childhood. Cool to see the collection featured in this video stay in his family.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Way cool!!

[@craigsandry6737]

Great episode ! Enjoying your channel from Australia 😎👌

[@wesleyhodge9457]

Wow what a great story!! I'm pretty sure I saw this one when you originally recored this episode, I recalled what an awesome collection he had and what a nice guy he was; could listen to him tell stories all day long. And I hope that he was able to grade some of those really nice cards 😀

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

Oh my! Just re-watching this takes me back to Karl’s living room. That conversation was 🔥

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

Were you able to go fishing with Karl and just hang out? And talk more about those little pieces of cardboard? Inquiring minds want to know?

[@Chris-t1q]

What a time to be a kid and collect the history of our sports!

[@md1028]

What kid is able to spend 50-100 dollars for low end dime a dozen boxes with 40 cards in it? The sad part is the card makers have turned a hobby into an investment and pension trading and selling plan. I will give the video maker here credit for not going in for the kill and getting the cards for pennies on the dollar. Seemed you reparked his passion with his own card collection which was pretty cool to see.

[@EllisBurksSuperCollector]

I would be grateful just to be able to look at those in person. Incredible stuff!

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

They’re amazing!

[@caolanhogeweide6555]

I live in Japan now, but almost all my sports cards are back home in Canada under the stairs at my parent's house in Canada. They would have thrown my cards out by now hadn't it been for my father's dad throwing all his cards out in the 70s.

[@txhuntsman]

Beautiful cards and a great story. I have told you before I am not a huge fan of flipping because I am not sure it's good for the hobby and it sure is a change from what the hobby was when I was kid many years ago, because cards were for kids then and value did not matter much. However, you seem like a guy who is not only fair to the people you meet, will walk away from a deal in a case like this, and you genuinely seem to care about people and the hobby. That is why I watch your videos. You seem like a solid guy at the end of the day. Thanks for being one of the good guys. Not many in the current state of the hobby.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Appreciate you, man. I love the hobby and I just want to share my passion with other fans!

[@NOVA_Sports_Cardz]

Awesome video ! First off, Karl’s flannel is 🔥 😅 most people will try to take advantage of him. I’m sure I speak for most of us when we say we appreciate your honesty and how much you care not only about cards, but the people you meet because of these cards.👏

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

You’re absolutely right, good things come to those who are honest and good.

[@MoonShotNY]

Awesome brother.

I don’t understand. No ripping of $100,000 boxes? No predictions on the future card bubble bursting on the new junk wax era? No filming of you ripping the old man off by undercutting the worth and then telling us how you screwed him over??.. This video was the best I’ve seen on card collecting and the reasons discussed here are the real reasons I collect. Awesome video. Thank you.

[@monkabuda]

I love watching these collections being enjoyed. It is sad when you see a card like that Jim Brown card and the opinion is that it will only grade a 3-5. Other than the centering that card looks beautiful. These grading companies have created some racket for themselves. I always buy the card and not the grade for that exact reason!

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Grading is a weird thing for sure.

[@BobCaseyAerial]

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

[@pittsburghbob69]

[@WAUK-TOWN74]

I have heard stories for years Back than the cards had no value from Great Grandpa, Grandpa and my Father and take wooden clothes pins and place the card in between bicycle spokes for a Motorcycle effect of sound.....That is crazy.....😵‍💫 when i talk to my father now about them days and show him the card market he almost wants to roll and make a grave 🤣

[@denisbeaudry5396]

That is a hard one, maybe sell some of the big money ones and keep most of the rest. W=I was hoping one of my kids would love sports cards so I could pass them on but no interest by either of them. Now I am in process of trimming down collection and selling 90% of it, which will likely take me longer then years I have left, lol, but have to try as it has gotten crazy out of control. Love your approach to the hobby and other collectors, many would have tried to swindle that collection from that guy. I never collected for investment only love of the cards, but now it is big business apparently.

If they go to his grandkids, they will sell them faster than a duck on a June bug. Your son or daughter may hold on to them for a while but grandkids, not so much. Sell some, give some to them.

You don't have to grade 1's. They are fine raw. Not everything is about the $$$$$
