I BOUGHT ALL THEIR SPORTS CARDS AT A YARD SALE FOR $80

I went to a yard sale in the mountains yesterday morning and came home with a collection of sports cards ranging from the 1970s-early 2000's. I was pretty surprised with the cards I found!

Thanks for watching!

[@timbibin1301]

Why can't I ever run across stuff like this at garage sales 😵😵

[@GeeEm1313]

I know, right?

[@Nerdsplayingcards]

U don't want to get sucked into the junkwax addiction, you will eventually fill your lovely home with ugly pictures of washed up ball players eventually you might get buried alive in Chris Sabo rc cards

[@billruttenberg]

That was a lot of cards for $80. What a great deal and always a lot of fun to sort through. I love the Nolan Ryan cards! He is my favorite player, always the card I am looking for. Thanks for sharing the collection.

[@ronsilvia8127]

On the bright side you got $20 bucks in totes and card boxes.

[@msgcollectibles]

That’s a pretty cool find. Always fun going through old cards, that alone makes it worth it

[@morelews5290]

You will be lucky to get 1/2 of your money back. You didn’t really get ripped off because you had fun going through them. More sentimental value than anything.

[@morelews5290]

That is considering the condition of these cards too because they look pretty rough but if you don’t buy the lots you don’t find the gems I’d say best card in the whole lot worth maybe 6 bucks

[@michaeltaft7156]

You got a really good deal on the collection, and I feel it was definitely worth $80. I'm guessing the collection was worth $200 or more.

[@paullilko41]

Dominik Hasek is in that 91 hockey set, I think Nick Lidstrom might be in there too

[@jerrygarciainabag2921]

should be a Brodeur with value

[@Nerdsplayingcards]

I love that wood 70s paneling Barry Bonds Rc , reminds me of the late 70s when i was 1 year old and shag carpeting and everything woodgrain

[@EpiphanyCardCollector]

That Upper Deck set was a Mc Donald's set that you. The Upper Deck logo is the shape of the Mc Donald's Gold Arches. You could have gotten them at the time from Mc D's. My step father worked at Mc D's at that time and brought me the cards, so I had the complete set. And you can buy the complete set as well, Upper Deck did do a factory set for them.

[@terrytitus6945]

I had alot of them.even though I didn't go to McDonald's unlike other oddballs I got from companies.

[@juSsd34]

I know I'm crazy when I'm more into organizing that many cards than actually seeing if theyre worth anything.

[@LinkRocks]

I have a huge unsorted collection that I'm currently going through for that reason. I don't care about a card's value, I enjoy collecting and looking at what I have.

[@tylerfox9640]

​@LinkRocks Same, I love looking at the various basketball cards I collected a kid and reminiscing on the memories of the card and the player.

[@carolinahitscards5968]

I just got a lucky collection on FB Marketplace! I feel ya when you get a deal you can't refuse. Sweet finds

[@cliffmcnerney4520]

Deion Sanders rookie card. Cool video and cool card

[@scottvaughn9]

Every one of these types of finds has McDonalds UD basketball. They must’ve printed infinity of those.

[@JustMeScottG]

I think it’d be a blast going through all that, I’ve been keeping my eyes out for something like this. Would be very interested in the Bledsoe rookies if your selling.

[@bradjones4145]

I've got a few Bledsoe find me on FB I'm from Ms

[@Concatenate]

"I'm not real keen on vintage football" as he casually strolls right past a nice Walter Payton. Lol.

[@vintagesportscardfinds964]

$80 you really can't get hurt. Very few activities, that bring you joy, cost $80. I'm sure you will easily make you money back especially if the sets are complete.

[@rileybrown4740]

Piazza and mark grace are the big ones out of 92 fleer. It was acually a rare set.

[@brianmucha8644]

the Update set was rare not base set

[@Concatenate]

A ton of 88 Donruss and 91 Fleer baseball? Sounds like my entire childhood, lol.

[@Nerdsplayingcards]

The Action Packed WWF undertaker ft Paul Berer is a sick card to have in the collection

[@cardcollectingaddict9608]

Love doing these finds myself ! The UD promo cards are from McDonald’s.

[@terrytitus6945]

I had a lot of those but those I never went to Micky D's to get unlike other oddball sets

[@jedijohnny]

man. great pick up man. I am a huge TTMer, I would of jumped all over that deal. Thanks for sharring. Loved the variety. The vintage baseball was my fave

[@rogerholda2834]

I have 100k cards that to much for ttm

[@jedijohnny]

@@rogerholda2834 Perfect!

[@MyerheadsCards]

Thanks for the look! The Upper Deck basketball "set" was a 92-93 McDonalds set. You may note the McDonalds arched 'M' in the hologram on the back of the card. Look for Shaq's rookie.

[@multiniceguy1.510]

The man needs to learn other sports.

[@threeg6966]

Those baseball cards are all in my personal collection. My goal is to acquire more true vintage cards this year (50's, 60's & early 70's). I will sacrifice the condition of cards for the cards themselves.

[@Matt_237]

I'm at the 20:00 mark and this is what everyone brings into our shop thinking it's worth money. It's literally worth nothing. Less than nothing. I can't tell you how many people come to us with a billion 1990 to 1993 Ken Griffey Jrs. and think they have something. Worth zippo. About five cards from '90 to '93 worth anything.

[@chcivic]

Love the 79 and 81 football

[@SammyThunder]

Looks like a decent pickup. My biggest concern at buying up huge lots like these is storage and personal preference in collecting. I'm not sure what your storage situation looks like, but you seem to have a way to move these cards without issue. Of course, I love the vintage stuff. The 70s and some 60s baseball were my favorite from your pickup.

[@getdagr4665]

I love the Jagr Rookie. I have so many of them. I can't believe you don't know more about hockey Rookies and you live in Pittsburgh!!!

[@jonnyrage8953]

13:28 those were from mcdonalds set from 1993. You can tell because of the M hologram on the back

[@itscoolpapapump3812]

Definitely a deal even had some McDonald’s upper deck mixed in there. The ‘87 Bonds looked great

[@Pullwax]

Cool come up and great conent!

[@kurtsnyder7546]

Good stuff Jon! Really fun to watch you dig through this. I can only imagine what filth and terrifying disease you brought into your home when that collection passed the threshold. Take care!

[@dannysunay4386]

Filthy jon!!!

[@alansportscardspokemoncard6967]

Fun to one Great deal for $80

[@drewv1747]

The HHOF RCs in 1991-92 Score are Lidstrom and Hasek. Amonte, Leclair and Konstantinov are other decent RCs from that year.

[@premiersportscards6382]

The 1990-91 Pro Set Soccer have rookie cards of Alan Shearer (All time Premier League Top Scorer), Roy Keane (Manchester United legend) and Ian Wright (Arsenal legend)! Good luck!

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

I think most of us would have jumped on that lot as well. It may have been exhausting going through all of it and separating all those singles, but what fun. Great price!

[@monkabuda]

How can you go wrong having fun going through baseball cards for $80. Nice!!

[@johnnyshags2]

Those basketball cards are upper deck McDonald’s, there are collectors out there that like them

[@CVBASEBALLCARDCOLLECTOR]

Wow, what a score!

[@goodtimeadam7732]

Awesome collection, I have never seen the Action Packed Jordan!

[@Mikeygee99]

Thanks for sparing us, lol. Enjoyed the recap.

[@tbranch227]

You CRUSHED it lol OMG

[@Dcw-rp6ib]

I have felt the pain of this I had the coleco vision console and had like 200 dollars worth the games and all the add on's and I had it put away. My wife found it and sold it all for 15 dollars this was back in the 80's but to say the least I was not happy.

[@chadhopkins8508]

Nice pick up Jon. Thanks for the video.

[@bradleyhelsten5777]

Decent mix of cards. Congrats on the pickup.

[@mnmcards5251]

Great cards, awesome find, love it 👍

[@jefflarson4982]

Some of those 90 Donruss with no . After the inc on back are selling for lots on eBay check your cards out for the error esp. the Griffey jr

[@rickmeier9200]

Update...not worth anything now, of course when I find a bunch of them

[@user-ez3vq8ph2h]

those "special set" basketball cards with the Dominique Wilkins you have showing were cards that were distributed through McDonalds in the early 90s

[@jaysmix6175]

Cool Jim Abbott RC card!! Congrats on finding some cool players. Have a great Sunday Jon!

[@TheRmm1976]

Nice haul. At first I thought you might only break even, but the singles near the end of the video made this well worth it!

[@crimnos]

That Victory reveal was gold!

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Awesome find at a yard sale!!! I am hoping to come across some sport cards like that at a yard sale!!! Seems like a win - win!!! Great time looking through random cards looking for treasures...any Michael Jordan card is awesome...loved all the Nolan Ryan cards..PC Nolan Ryan...been collecting since 1989- 1999 went to college...now my son age 10 is really into mostly baseball cards...but got back into...love your channel!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@jefflarson4982]

The smell of old cards brings me back

[@snerdterguson]

If that's what I think, the pro set soccer packs are English League and you can get a card of Vinnie Jones who played in the league and later went on to act in, among other movies, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

[@snerdterguson]

I didn't know that and will now spend the next half hour or so listening to some. I don't know if I want it to be great or awful.

[@Nerdsplayingcards]

I believe the UD basketball was issued by McDonald's restaurants i think the hologram on the back of card is in the shape of a M

[@CheswicksCigarettes]

Ahh the single screwdowns. Remember digging that little screw out of the carpet? Man i bought alot of those to replace the 4screws only to then be replaced by the 1touch. Probably should've spent my money on higher end packs instead. Congrats on the Yaz man. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@samson125100]

Nice kindling.

[@jppryer8498]

They got you dude ! $80 worth of bookmarks and shims !

[@ronruss8156]

Great video, like always. Love your channel

[@richardlarson9459]

81 Topps Football was Joe Montana's rookie year.

[@JohnJohn-gs8md]

Upperdeck McDonald's basketball. The entertainment value of that many cards is worth $80. Maybe there's a Montana or monk rookie in the 81 topps football.

[@elbosausage]

Yes and the hologram on the back is in the shape of the McDonald's "M".

[@modv4filepack787]

I found a giant lot of about 2000 cards at flea market. Guy wanted 8 I got them for 5. Had montana rookie, monk rookie,ozzie Newsome rookie, many 2nd , 3rd ,4th year cards of pistol pete, dr.j, robert Parrish, tiny Nate Archibald rookie and a walter Payton rookie. Paid pennies a piece for each card. 2nd best ballcard find of my life besides a jordan collection I paid $60.00 for and had almost 800 Jordan's! 88 fleet, tons of 90s inserts, finestrefractory, I couldn't believe it. Good buy though some nice cards.,

[@southcoast6]

Nice collection to pick up for $80, I love buying mystery collections without seeing anything and sorting through them

[@carlhammill5774]

How do you say I will give you 80 dollars without insulting them. Guys invested their entire childhood into these collections.

[@southcoast6]

@@carlhammill5774 huh?

[@renatoyepez8642]

That 81 Topps football might have Joe Montana RC

[@OGMikey.]

Great score!

[@patrickt6642]

Pretty cool buy!!

[@DumpsterDivin_Ty]

The basketball set from upper deck is the McDonald's set they released. Those are worth some money bud!

[@salfrat55]

Definitely the McDonald's cards. Not worth too much, the Jordan sells for a few bucks on eBay

[@DumpsterDivin_Ty]

@@salfrat55 yes. I didn't say they were worth a lot, rather worth selling, like in his auctions

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

Good score. I like the Tim Raines and Harold Baines rookies. 2 under the radar ones that should go up

[@Novinsld]

I think you made a great buy....Just in volume you did well and all the sets are great value. Im hooked on buying collections and going forward im cutting back on new stuff and looking for more like this. Nice older cards and i hope you do well in the auctions

[@briandelavan8833]

The basketball cards are from a McDonald's basketball set. Hope you find a Montana or Monk RC in the 81 set

[@dustonhawkins3852]

Well worth it lol

[@MIKESMITH-rp2rs]

The upper deck basketball you weren't sure about is the McDonald's version. The hologram one the back is the McDonald's logo

[@joshuatalley8507]

Like that Ozzie 👍 Great cards for 80$

[@joshuatalley8507]

Score for sure!

[@calebexcell6442]

Believe it or not those action packed 24kt cards are worth money

[@cardboardjunkie4291]

One of the Joe Montana cards you have could have an error. Cant remember which year it was but saw it when you were flipping threw the cards. Great find and thanks for the video.

[@forourtroopssake7373]

Nice cards! 👍

[@scottnovak5559]

That Michael Jordan action packed card is wildd

[@CalebsCards]

Cool stuff for $80!

[@CVBASEBALLCARDCOLLECTOR]

Man, you really scored!!!

[@scottbever251]

Love coming across bulk lots of cards at sales!

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

People sell "vintage" cards on Ebay but what they're selling are junk wax era cards . The real definition of vintage is from the 50s to the 70s!

[@user-kx6vk3nj9u]

As long as there isn't dead rats amongst the cards.

[@bigjax731]

Cool

[@SR-cz5sp]

Holy crap!!!!!

[@djkrimmel5542]

I have been trying to find the value of my 1997 Pinnacle Xpress Frank Thomas Melting Pot card. there were only 500 made and all the ones I see for sale are just sample cards. Nobody is selling the original cards? You seem pretty knowledgeable any idea of the value say its an 8 or 9 grade

[@djkrimmel5542]

I guess no one knows the value

[@jonpowell5848]

Good stuff! Where do you find collections like these at such good prices?

[@paulchamberlain4527]

I enjoyed this video. That lindros is a second year card. Im a new subscriber. Gonna have to go back and watch some other videos

[@thepastisalive]

Thanks for subscribing Paul! Happy to have you.

[@dfuller81]

I like the Tom Seaver double “pissed off through the years” card. Feel like there should be a Sparky Anderson quad pissed off card.

[@571951rhoehn1]

As usual you haves walked into a valley and come back with a pot (s) of gold! You got your money’s worth and then some. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!

[@johnnyshags2]

Went to some garage sales yesterday, only one had cards, 1990 Score factory set and they wanted $40 for it, I ran outta there like the roadrunner!!!

[@bigraysballcards]

$80….dang that’s a good deal!! I might need to do some trading with you from the collection I bought. Hope you find that Montana RC in the 81 set,. 😎👊🏼
