I BOUGHT A $20 SPORTS CARD MYSTERY BOX AT A FLEA MARKET

This weekend I came across a flea market vendor with a box of mixed sports cards for $20. I saw some decent rookie cards on top, so I decided to try my luck - let's see what we can find.

Thank you for watching!

[@paultaylor3723]

Dude, that box is the biggest steal I have ever seen. The guy must have died and the widow sold it? Amazing box of cards!

[@solondenis]

Or maybe sold it because it brought too much memories

[@doormatter20]

Love random card lot boxes. So fun to go through.

[@nealarnett9394]

Flea market find of the decade! Awesome Awesome cards! Congratulations on the HITS!! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!!

[@jamesrivera4947]

Amazing blind purchase 😲 The Danny Ainge card is a n 1986-87 Fleer 😉

[@debcamp2359]

❤ these treasure hunts. Great job as usual Jon.

[@joecameron3674]

Yeah.."Cake Batter" We'll go with that. Great box, my friend!

[@ThrillpackCards]

Wow this was a nice one for $20! I love mystery boxes. Steve Young rookie was nice surprise, and those 86 fleer basketball are also sweet finds. I just made my way through a 40 pound mystery box, hopefully will have the highlights up soon

[@MrJoey1970]

awesome box of cards you got a great buy.for 20 dollars. easy 300 dollars worth of cards there.

[@micsmif79]

this box is LEGENDARY!!!

[@forourtroopssake7373]

Love your videos, and boxes like this. Thank you for all you do, for the hobby…🇺🇸

[@bossmanboss3087]

I got fresh brand new $100 dollar bills$ for that box and you will profit 80 bucks lol sounds like a great deal for me lol good video bro

[@larslap7597]

Once played in a charity basketball game with Bruce Harper when I was in college... so many cool finds

[@Longrange1116]

that kobe bryant topps card you glossed over was a rookie card...cant believe that wasnt in a toploader

[@chowmomof2]

Wow! You'd never find a box like that in the Seattle area! I'm going through a box that I purchased off Ebay, listening to you and my head snapped at Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull. Then you said George Brett and that was it! I had such a crush on George when I was 12 (ages me haha). I try to collect everything George ❤

[@571951rhoehn1]

1960 Jim Kaat! I’m trying to collect a 1961 Topps set. Commons weren’t too tough (except the high numbers) but Kaat and Gibson and . . . .are a lot tougher. If your willing to deal I’m willing to listen.

[@rayt8980]

Awsome pick up! Well worth 20 bucks 10 times over sweet find.

[@justinreed7498]

OMG this box is amazing😎

[@tcmyrick]

I totally get you, and Im the same, with ripping junk wax and still getting excited about pulling that chase rookie!

[@johntheiss252]

These are the kind of finds we dreamed about as kids. New to the family's channels and I haven't slept since. lol Congrats brother!

[@thepastisalive]

John Theiss lol thanks for checking out the channel and for your support! Hope you enjoy the videos.

[@EdsterIII]

No doubt. I remember finding my grail card. Wayne Gretzky rookie. I KNEW I had it. Somewhere. I had the 10,000 ct boxes. My 2nd box BAM. Along with a Marcel Dionne rookie. Then 10 yrs later it was stolen. Advice to teens DONT TRUST ANYONE. A "friend" ripped me off.

[@buster3108]

You have the best luck on finding cards you probably got a hundred bucks worth of top loaders

[@rustylittle5863]

Wow i do believe i need to go flea markets

[@ramblinwreck74]

What a cool box and way to spend 20$

[@tomahawkbd6556]

Funny how he picked up the Rivers and Manning card at the same time.

[@1carneyms]

Well I watched a previous video of yours and said you got a great deal on it. But this deal has to be the best deal EVER EVER EVER

[@thepastisalive]

It was a great deal! I don’t find them like this anymore.

[@1carneyms]

@@thepastisalive you will brother.

[@iceburg0xh]

The Rivers and Eli manning rookies should bring a decent amount since both look to be finishing their careers

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

I'm a Junk Wax fan , and you got a great deal on these , even in 2019 :) QC

[@anthonydrew800]

U got some sick card's out of this box , totally worth it, love the jim katt rookie card.

[@fuzzmosisr8601]

Epic box! Can't believe you scored this for only 20 dollars. Nice score!

[@kingstonagainstcorruption2268]

I used to see a bunch of the big penny sleeves in the 80s and 90s so those cards have been in those a long time !!! Great box for $20 .... Wish I'd found it!!

[@michaeljohnson4204]

The best cards are in the first Sports Illustrated edition, you have to cut them out very carefully.

[@chancemholton6611]

It's ironic how the best pictures were taken on the Fleer 1991 baseball cards. Yet they were the most mass produced

[@robertgray399]

Thought I would stop in had t been here for awhile you had a great find. Loved the Phillip Rivers rc and all the older baseball cards good to see everyone still doing Great Video and find. Rob

[@ramblinwreck74]

I had the entire Jordan rookie set and stickers. I sold it in 1992 for $150 before I went away to college

[@danscollectables5997]

Great Video! I love finding old bills. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikemorrissey7928]

That box is a total score for $20!

[@DaveDurango]

amazong box. can't believe you pulled a rob ducey minor league card. unreal

[@blackpinkandbtsandtwiceand5868]

He didn't pull it he picked it up

[@boomslang024]

Jon, this box looks like maybe the MOB had it accidentally "fall of the back of a truck" wink, wink...............

[@sephmcfierce]

57:13 Those more durable sleeves are called “Sleeves cut out of card binder sheets” lol.

[@LEFTBEHINDTIMES]

This box was phenomenal, loved this video.

[@thepastisalive]

thanks for watching!

[@rodwhite9737]

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! It's weird that I picked this video from the thousands of others I could have watched. The thumbnail hooked me. I was curios to what you can buy at a flea market in the states. Here in Newfoundland we don't find anything like that. So yeah, Happy Birthday, and good luck in the future in finding awesome boxes like this. Great video, my man!

[@jamesgalloway6180]

Man what a great find. Who would sell that wonderful collection for 20

[@grayharris672]

Nice Phillip rivers and Eli Manning rookie both will be hall of famers. I’m a huge Phillip rivers and no state fan he was in the NFL for a while

[@johnhenrychung9345]

Gradable cards for sure

[@kenbassell96]

You got a steal!!! Why can't I ever find deals like that!!!

[@anthonydrew800]

Awesome box of cards for 20 bucks. Good luck on more adventures

[@claytonclifford2323]

The A Rod downfall officially began when he took the $$ and left us up here in Seattle for Texas (not to say I blame him cause who wouldn’t have taken that much money). But a young Seattle Mariner A Rod showed the potential to be one of, if not the greatest player in baseball history. Too think how his career could have panned out had he never left Seattle

[@Swoop187OG187]

Anyone ever see or have the "Topps Big" before?.. I'm not talking about the sideways cards from the late 80's, the cards I'm talking about were issued in 1984 & 85 - they looked exactly like the regular issue but they were gigantic, perhaps 4.5 x 7.5??? maybe an inch larger... I always thought they were really cool..... Nice Kaat and Clemens RC, I bet you weren't expecting that to happen, lol

[@93dirtyd]

Those were 84 Topps football, some big rookie cards in that set!

[@1carneyms]

Hey look at that I got you to 1000 likes on this video lol. Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@1carneyms]

Okay, maybe I didn't. Lol. I don't know how likes work apparently. 😂

[@thepastisalive]

Lol thanks Mike!!

[@kingstonagainstcorruption2268]

I want the Jim Kaat !!!

[@johnnyshags2]

This was an amazing find!!! Good stuff man!

[@karenflanagan1961]

I love George Brett baseball ⚾️ player.

[@homermaner8820]

I believe you got your money . God bless !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chris-nj4iu]

totally worth it

[@joecanzone1168]

great box for 20 bucks

[@mikeypsychclown5345]

Sweet baseball cards

[@adilynaway718]

Yes Steve young has a 85 card also but the 86 is also considered his rookie.

[@skipsrips3537]

Oh man I never find this stuff! I would love to find some mystery boxes to look through on my channel

[@roly8736]

Great find for a bargain.....check the Topps Kobe Bryant card , valued $150+

[@TheBigToe69]

No way. It’s a raw card in a penny sleeve in a wide open box randomly thrown around for who knows how many years. It’s a 2nd year card maybe worth $50-$60 in perfect condition raw. Maybe graded a 10 would get $150 but not raw

[@edwinbjorgen3790]

Kenny Stabler Oakland Raiders QB super bowl winner

[@kingstonagainstcorruption2268]

Dang guy I've NEVER found any good boxes like that at flea markets or yard sales. The 1960 Jim Kaat is well worth the $20 to me. One of my favorite pitchers. You wanna sell it?

[@jackiemcculloch7226]

I have hundreds of upper deck. I have several cards I need to get rid of. Good find

[@thinkingfreely5545]

That 2nd year Kobe Bryant was just glossed over. Probably a $20 card.

[@TheRockyhockey007]

you've never heard of Kenny "the snake" Stabler ?, one of the best Raiders QB's ever , lefty , great find

[@timhuggins7069]

"Snake" not the snake. Please

[@EdsterIII]

Ooh those big Donruss cards. Yikes I had those monsters. I prefered my 75 Mini's...lol. Yeah I had a Yount AND a Brett. I traded a 65, & a 67 Carl Yastrzemski, a Fred Lynn(r) and Jim Rice rookie and some other stuff for them, back in 1983. Again good ol days.

[@webblewobblemonkey7452]

now that was an epic box for the price great video

[@milktruck9345]

Yes it's his rookie.

[@CalebsCards]

Already looks good just from the top

[@PussySlayer]

Wow, fantastic deal

[@totoro1972]

As soon as the video started, the Luzinski card had my attention.

[@thomaspalmer3007]

Value-wise you got your money back 10 times at least

[@destro13cobra68]

Some really nice surprises in that box Jon! Amazing find!

[@kennethanderson8880]

I purchased the Topps Desert Shield cards in 1993 before i retired from the United States Air Force 1994. Grand Forks AFB North Dakota

[@thirteenthtone]

This is such a fun video.

[@benjaminthorson6849]

I just joined your channel and this is stuff I actually dream about. I literally have dreams of finding vintage gold like this. Utahs flea market is trash and the only Good card shop that had bid boards for anything remotely close closed years ago. I might start hitting yard sales but I wont hold my breath.

[@thepastisalive]

Welcome and thanks for subscribing! Try also checking apps like OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace along with local estate sales. I get lucky a decent amount but I also sometimes come home empty handed.

[@michaeljohnson4204]

72 Topps was a psychedelic set.

[@karenflanagan1961]

Look 👀 for a Larry Bird Celtics or UNC basketball cards?

[@miket2419]

Booyah

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

I would love to see you pull out an early Mantle card!😀

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

Whoever collected this group originally knew what they were doing. Too many good cards. Makes you wonder how they got to a flea.

[@johnrambo7630]

There used to be a dead cat in the bottom of the box. The cat was sold before the cards were.

[@joeb1kenobie721]

Love those Donruss 3½x5 I have 2 complete sets 83 and 85, will buy the 84s if price is good

[@OzKards]

great purchase

[@Gray_Bush]

Really fun video! Hoping you were able to get some PSA 9s and 10s

[@Tunatim1]

Very nice box! 👍🏼👍🏼⚾️

[@lotusfilmstudios]

wow its like you won the lottery ....congratulations ....aloha from Dean....can probably buy new house if you sold them

[@MrJoey1970]

i love the older cards to but i do buy a few new cards don't get to buy many cards though because im on a fixed income.

[@joshuaashley7302]

That Steve young graded high sells for 500 plus.

[@MTSPORTSCARDS]

I got a similar box like this for $10 , I did a video on it , it wasn't nearly as strong as this box however it did have the Billy Ripken Dirty word error card , would have been awesome if I had that in the early 90s...this box was amazing , I was on the edge of my seat!

[@dkapone]

Never heard of Ken Stabler @ 38:37... The Snake!? Lead the Oakland Raiders to a 1974 Super Bowl victory. Die in 2015. Coached by John Madden! Who that love sports, any sport, doesn't know of these names. Two Hall Of Famers. Peace.

[@MrHarco77]

that 83 donruss is awesome

[@milktruck9345]

Have you ever gone to the green dragon. Flea market they have cards at times they auction off.

[@571951rhoehn1]

Note from future self "keep the Dennis Cook card" Never mind WHY! JUST DO IT! Crazy 👀!

[@betweenthegrooves5105]

Awesome grab box.🔥

[@griffengorsuch4069]

Dude I watch your brother lol dident know you had your own KZbin Subscribed!

[@thomaskorzec2965]

Kobe Bryant definitely need to check and graded!!!!

[@robertwilhite9821]

The great John Riggens

[@mattbeidelman7800]

I moved to Melbourne from Panama City

[@therealchristaholic]

If you get that eddie murray graded & it recievess a good grade, its worth more than $3, more than likely $15 is the PSA 10 price for that card (Man you hit the junk wax jack pot)

[@backyarddetecting]

this box delivered all the way through, i figured the good ones were all on the top

[@waynehousel5940]

Ok pcool p
