I BOUGHT A RARE ERROR CARD FROM AN ELDERLY LADY AT A FLEA MARKET

[@rashakawa]

So I grew up in Los Angeles so yes I'm a Dodger fan and My favorite player was Orel Hershiser... Darryl Strawberry was another one Funny story... my mother and I were struck in traffic heading back home from UCLA. I think I was around 8 years old at the time... anyways I had just been given a gift of some I believe upper deck cards. (Some sort of Dodger team set) Darryl Strawberry was the card that you can see through the plastic. I remember being really excited and waiting to get home before I opened up the rest of them because I didn't want to damage them while in the car when all of a sudden this red Ferrari or Lamborghini or something pulled up right next to us... and Wouldn't your freaking know it Darryl Strawberry was the passenger I tore into that pack so quick and was hanging out the window yelling at him to sign my card... my mother had no idea what I was doing. She just sees me freaking out and hanging out of the window in Los Angeles Rush Hour gridlock traffic. I really don't remember what the controversy was but this was just after it happened or during but he wasn't in the greatest of moods but when he saw me and how excited I was to see him he straight got out of the car came over signed my card gave me a high 5 and well the rest was history. Its been years since I last thought about that moment still makes me smile. No idea what happened to that card but it doesn't matter because I still remember. ( I also remember how it made the miserably hot drive back home to the valley bearable exciting even)

[@andrewy1157]

Thats awesome man! Moments like that are the ones I hope to come my way!

[@hallbags7444]

That was cool story mate! Who knew the Straw was such a good bloke.

[@paulperkins2488]

haha thats awesome! Great stuff!

[@thecatswillplay86]

What an epic story!! I wish I could have seen that.

[@RobbaKeef]

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!

[@OutlawTorn33]

Did you really try talking down a Jack Morris RC from $1.00 to fifty cents smh just buy the card

[@Grcoon]

Amen this guy is a cheapskate! Understand trying to make a deal but when u find something like that u pay the buck

[@ryanstaley3015]

I don’t have a clue what that cars is worth but he wanted it so has some value to him, and then trying to haggle over 50 cents left a bad taste in my mouth. Lost a sub here cheap bastard!!

[@JayJayFromAZ]

What a Ahole! Lol. What’s 50 more cents!!

[@csennaable]

Obviously none of you have ever haggled. The purpose of these flea markets is to haggle and I myself consider it quite gratifying when I purchase something for the price I want. You all feel bad for the seller but he doesn't care, he is just happy with some sort of money.

[@OutlawTorn33]

Haggling a buck to 50 cents on a Jack Morris card when you have a garage full of cards is sad. I’d pay the buck. Come on. A haggle is asking 75 for a hundred dollar card.

[@abnkc]

I love this channel. Even more, I love how they go nickel and dime vendors at flea markets and then go home and open cases full of high end boxes. Keep up the good work!

[@jonnymmac]

Ikr?

[@Ben_Levin16]

Today I was looking through my dad's old sports bin and him and I found a reggie jackson signed picture, so that was very cool

[@RonnieBoy1981]

I love your videos and the flip idea is awesome. I think I may start my own “follow the flip”. Good luck and I’ll be following you to the end.

[@d2mightydork649]

“I’m not going to zoom in on the obscenity. I’m going to cover it up.” Proceeds to zoom in on writing, clearly showing already zoomed in obscenity! LOL 19:00

[@tommylabors]

LOL...I was thinking the same thing,Right in the middle of the screen..F*ck Face

[@aaronmaxim]

That was a huge duhhh moment... funny

[@derekcastaneda5088]

I was thinking the same thing. He covered up the bat on the card but not the paper.

[@aaronmaxim]

@@derekcastaneda5088 the next video also lol

[@Benderrules78]

Dude nice find on the Riken card, I have a couple of the error cards. I wish I had that one lol.

[@manowara358]

"Hey gentlemen- how we doin?" "Need a shotgun or a AK today?" LOL!!!

[@manowara358]

@@TechyJoeCards at least it looked that way. I would've at least asked how much. Lol

[@MikeYTnc]

Cool finds!! I really like that first antique shop you visited, she had tons of baseball stuff in there.

[@mitchelltau472]

Good buys on the Mantle cards. Really cool FF Bill Ripken piece, love the background history on the card. I have never seen the card with a grouping like that. Nice.

[@chrisweaver2634]

Hope when you go back to that 1st flea market that 1st vendor you talked to can get to his other cards. Interested to see what he has. I had never heard of the split Ripken cards. Thank you for sharing that info!

[@jefferykite1683]

A few observations....😂At 0:18, it looked you and John were going into a slaughter house from a horror movie to meet your demise. At 5:00, I bet that massage chair has seen A LOT of "Happy Endings." At 8:04, John ditches you quick for that toy room! And finally, at 13:46, being offered a deal on a shotgun or an AK-47 while hunting for baseball cards has to be a new highlight for you. I laughed my way through this one. By far one of your most interesting videos of all-time!

[@michaeljoseph4936]

I absolutely love the Ripken errors. I have all of them except the cut card. The '69 Mantle is pretty awesome as well. Nice pick ups !

[@billsmith1660]

I've never heard of the split card before,I new about the FF and blacked out but not that... interesting...u are very knowledgeable and it's fun to listen to you,don't listen to people that talk bad about you,they are jealous of the time, effort and hustle that goes into what you love to do,I'm jealous also but I would love to know as much about the cards as you and be able to go out and find these awesome cards,thanks Jabsy....

[@iCards]

I am saving this video so I can reference the 1st guy when my wife complains I have too much stuff and I am a hoarder

[@MyerheadsCards]

(looks at '89 rack packs) "I think those have been hanging there since 1989." Savage!

[@MichaelBrown-dv7ir]

Always enjoy your videos! Wish we had flea markets like that in Hawaii. Keep up the great videos!

[@jeromemanley7885]

This is a great video and classic jabs!!!

[@itsjovo1874]

Wait that woman wanted 20$ for the box with the “special card”, and then when you asked without it she said 20 again🤣

[@scottsmyers5377]

Cool video love the billy cut card

[@DallasF88]

I’ve seen the slit Bill Ripken error variations on eBay before but never broke down and bought any. After hearing why they have the slit and how they came into circulation, I have to get my hands on one now! Great vid and glad you picked up the ‘69 Mantle this time!

[@piano10102000]

I find it hilarious on the Ripken error card you are so worried about blocking out the curse word but on the middle Ripken on the paper it’s clearly visible. Great job on hiding it. Lol

[@matthewsiciliano935]

Great story behind that card, nice find!

[@ssjnimma]

Nice haul! Let's get the flip rolling!

[@bleenwis]

That Billy Ripken errors has so many different variations. I didn’t know about the face saw one though! Cool!

[@patcuff3781]

Oh man, these cards all hit home with me. My late grandfather bought me a Ted Williams out of that 59 Fleer Set and my dad had 2 of the 69 Mantles, the White letter variation. So it’s cool to see you got these. Also, never heard of that Ripken slit variation, wicked cool Erik

[@erikfowler5239]

Cool little history with the Billy Ripken FF card! Never seen that saw version

[@southfloriidasportscards9745]

Erik Fowler it's called a Saw version

[@jerrysbaseballcards]

Totally awesome pickup's that Ripken card is sick wow great buy you don't find those everyday but this was your day

[@hunaybun]

I wish that we had card shops here.. awesome.

[@4teachme]

Fantastic hunt for cards, and nice buys!!

[@rustykupyar7017]

another great hunt. If that one lady at the flea market is really retiring this year, you may be able to get a steal if you buy it all

[@CantGetRight-rd8bj]

I liked that you left the guy's sam's club card included in the box of cards for $22.

[@rashakawa]

Best of luck on all of your upcoming appointments. Always stay positive and strong boss.

[@chrissinatra1217]

Very cool market!!

[@philinthablanxify]

Nice couple of cards for your follow the flip.

[@DragonEntertainment1]

I love when you guys go on adventures.. Thank you for the videos.. Jason

[@brunomarion7151]

Nice little snow down there.

[@JStried35]

Thanks for sharing...I don't think I'd have the patience to wade through all the junk!

[@KingArthurBaseball]

The literature with the card looked like a dinner menu

[@jgarrison1309]

Had no idea Rick Vaughn worked for the Orioles 19:09 ... Was that before or after he pitched for Cleveland?

[@jaymccolister6607]

"Need an shotgun or an AK today?" Lol

[@owenhutchison4295]

I just met jack morris last weekend at Toronto blue jays winterfest. Very nice man. He was joking about my long hair and saying I look like a snow boarder. Since I'm only 17 i was not alive when he played but still really cool.

[@greatblackswamp1962]

Cool history lesson on the Billy Ripken!

[@manowara358]

Cool vid! Sweet score on the mantle!

[@jds433]

That flea market has a fairly decent outdoor setup on Sundays in the summer. Also that lady has been saying she's done selling for years now lol. Everytime I'm there she always says everything is on sale this weekend!

[@derekcastaneda5088]

That's a awesome steal on the bill ripkin error card. And you get the literature to explain.

[@richrichard9038]

Thanks for covering that Billy Ripkin bat knob with your thumb. I don't know what would happen if we saw that bad word.

[@drbonesshow1]

You might ripken your undershorts.

[@aaronchapman8232]

Hands down my favorite type of videos you do

[@chriscooney7840]

Who else wishes they had the means to get deeper into this hobby?

[@paintsius]

I love your videos, so relaxing. Always calms me down before bed

[@760cardsmore4]

I turned my first FTF card into 4 Barry Bonds '87 Topps rookies. It's hard trying to find something that's guaranteed to sell for a profit. It's a fun challenge to be a part of, I just have a feeling my progress will be slow-going. Good luck with yours!!

[@iCards]

You need to buy that golf cart! You could make it look like a Pirates Bullpen Cart from the 70’s and call it the Jabs Family Card Cart!

[@KBCards]

iCards good idea and thanks for the sub

[@jiraffe_nyc9651]

Hey I have a question what is a reliable website to buy baseball cards off of for not too much for example a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card bc I’m trying to buy my dad a birthday gift but I have a tight budget to go off of if anyone can help I really appreciate it

[@thecatswillplay86]

You can get a Fleer PSA graded 8 for under $15 on ebay.

[@DawgnutzCardznJunk]

WOW!!! Unbelievable scores on those vintage cards!!! I love getting anything Mantle and have a 1963 in about the same condition of that 1969.

[@arnolddav2337]

Wow ur so lucky to find the mickey mantle cards and Ted William's card along with that awesome billy Ripken error card, I hope one day to find some gems like those btw ur new FTF card is beautiful, thanks for the video Jabs 😎🇺🇸

[@wvogs1850]

Very nice cards!!!!!

[@loza1165]

Curious what a grading service would do with that Ripken rarity.

[@brunomarion7151]

Thats a great question, they cant give it a high grade.

[@brunomarion7151]

And can they really authenticate the cut??? I can surely cut that myself! I guess they can evaluate the age of the cut.

[@tastycooking1017]

That's a dream spot for me good find my friend.

[@danielschultz2708]

I live close to Detroit and everyone loves the Jack Morris RC.. nice finds!

[@jackl.416]

His 1978 Burger King Topps card is a good one to get if you can find it. It's a regional issue which makes it a scarce find.

[@brunomarion7151]

When I see your brother with glasses in one of your videos, I always think "the jabs brothers are undercover again"! That means we will have a nice the past is alive video soon!

[@ClevelandCardConnection]

Woohoo. Keeping the #FTF going!! nice!! half of my round 3 is in. still waiting for the other half!

[@waxman68cards19]

Some serious patience while hunting the elusive baseball card, lol!

[@tsbaseballlife2269]

Great stuff E!!!

[@davidayer2168]

What's the time stamp on the error variation exchange?

[@XanderD03]

Great video as always!

[@FUNNYCRAZYMONKEYMAN]

"hey gentleman, you need a shot gun or an AK today?" 😂 😂 😂 @13:45.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Nice Ted Williams card, poor ole Mick was ruffed up but hey its a Mantle and the Mantle league leader card was a good deal. Poor ole Billy, I wonder if the person who picked that photo out of several choices kept their job? Have fun collecting.

[@Chefglenn10]

That's super interesting about the Billy Ripken card! Thank you for that!

[@zackphy]

I believe the white out version of the Bill Ripken card is the most valuable and rare one. It sells for more than the sawblade one does.

[@zacharymccullough4625]

"There's even a few hockey cards" Holy hell you can hear him shrug as he pulls a Lafleur, Bossy, Shutt leaders card out. The perfect card for one of my team collections.

[@meagandavies4729]

I know right!

[@murrayvassar625]

Thanks for sharing the story on the Billy Ripken card. I have one of the regular cards. Never heard about the cut cards.

[@1075twist]

So funny you bought that card!....Just a couple days ago I was going through my old comic books and the one issue of the Simpsons comic book from 1994 has a baseball card inserted inside. It is a spoof card of this one. It's a Willy Dipkin card and it says Fish Face on the bat knob. Lol They go for about 20$

[@jamesrandolph2950]

I have heard of the slit card but never saw one, can't believe you got it so cheap

[@KingArthurBaseball]

LOVE THE FLEA MARKET VIDS!

[@yongwilson7859]

I love those error card, I always look for the oddball, misscut, and checklist cards.

[@garys45]

Ripken family gathering - one of Billy's kids - Uncle Cal what are you famous for - "Oh I'm a baseball legend, HOFer, 2600+ straight games, yada yada yada". Wow - Dad what are you famous for - "hmmm I had a card published with a bad word on it - lol

[@oaktree1290]

Gary S .....True story

[@thomasj2972]

That's not really the right answer though ,if he is famous at all it's because hes in the ripken family

[@krakenhits1587]

Hilarious that you have your thumb over the card but in the picture it's blown up and totally legible. Lol😂😅😂😅

[@dmm5159]

I just looked at your eBay. Holy cow you're gonna make out well with those three auctions

[@view247flix]

The Jack Morris RC for a buck was a tremendous steal at that price. The condition looks Near Mint. Thank you for sharing the back story of the Billy Ripken "Rick Face" error and how Fleer used a saw blade to cut then subsequently destroy the cards. I love these vids of you and your brother visiting card shops,flea markets and other shops. You never know what you'll find.

[@Yuha7401]

I got a 2018 donruss syndergaard (lion) but a blank back,,,? Does anyone have the same kinda card??

[@cmorrow0231]

Awesome idea on follow the flip, should get well over $100 on this round...well done!

[@codyscardcloset1948]

Great pick up Jabs!

[@caper0833]

Nice pickups. As for the autographs, that could be Mark Johnson, the hockey player. He played in the NHL, but was a member of the 1980 US Olympic team, so that fits into the era of the other cards.

[@Opticprizm]

I was hoping to see 86 Fleer basketball complete set up in there😮

[@brunomarion7151]

Its funny you covered the f**k on the card, but not on the zoomed photo right next to it! Lol

[@newenglandbreaks]

Lmao he said if you need a ak or a shotgun 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ those vendors lmaooo

[@petekitto4831]

Nice video Eric. I wish I had your luck at finding good deals.

The 63 batting leaders was cool too

[@TheAPWA]

Great choices for the FTF. Should have got that Bob Gibson too when you got the Mantle!

[@markyfresh7231]

Wow amazing pickups I love the Mickey mantle card you got and the billy Ripken card was cool I didn’t know about the slit cards cool man
