[@cincinnatipicker]

Love the video, thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@JabsFamily]

Hey man, love your vids! Thanks for watching!

[@TheMattPaoliniEra]

Awesome Glad You Had Fun

[@IamSkullrules]

I have a 2011 TROUT ROOKIE Listed on ebay now very nice

[@TheBaitShopGuy]

Omg that SGC 9.5 1952 Mantle is gorgeous

[@michaelsisto9898]

Just bought my ticket to go; planning on Saturday!

[@theshorts975]

That Mickey Mantle I see will go for 10 million.

[@hunterbuescher7452]

Thank you for the walkthrough for the national sports cards convention

[@rubenavila2274]

That Mantle will auction for 6 plus million dollars.

[@cliffspabb1416]

That was fun. Great video.

[@joethebreadmanresellerscha8639]

I sold some incredible old boxes to BBCE

[@DaveTheTurd]

Excellent video, thank you Jabs.

[@talkinbravesdave]

can’t wait to see what you pick up tomorrow!

[@Card_Threapy]

Heard. Theft was hard on dealers on floor and room’s & cars / vans full of stuff just gone ! Sad to see people take advantage!

[@JabsFamily]

Geez

[@dfschief5063]

Give it till next year when this recession is hurting, that mantle will be back down again

[@wilda32]

I think I might know the guy who got mad from shows in CT, I recognize the stickers. If its the same guy he's always grumpy haha, I've only bought a couple cards from him. Has tons of vintage but most is pretty banged up and he gets really upset when you ask for anything lower than his sticker discounts 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@yangtrain2027]

Dang that Cade Cunningham black shimmer next to the mantle

[@jaredesham9380]

i am going down today but my tickets are for saturday and sunday. hoping to get some good deals at the end of the show 🤑

[@carmineV255]

Thanks for sharing your tour with us hope you find your mantle.

[@forzaitalia456]

I would camp out at the .10 boxes

[@MandalorianFanboy]

Really regretting not booking a trip there now.

[@mnmcards5251]

Thanks for sharing Erik, I am going tomorrow, maybe I will see you around 👍

[@dmm5159]

Hey knuckleball, I've been there a few times. About 45 minutes from me in Philly

[@edwardqueen1559]

Hope you had fun in AC. It's messed up that dealer gave you a hard time over 25 bucks. Especially with the corners being that way. Idk if I would have done business with that guy..

[@Swoop187OG187]

Dude, I'm a total dollar bin junkie... You can find so much in dollar bins - it's not even funny, lol... I've been known to buy entire bins - like shoe boxes, I think they fit around 400 cards in top loaders - I'll build a box - offer $250 and that usually gets it done - then I'm making 5x on everything I bought - some even more..... Look, it's not a bad strategy at all... I flip cards and 5x makes it worth it- and I get it.. Obviously you're not getting 5x on higher end cards unless you find them cheap in lots - but anything over $50 - I think .75% is a good margin just so you can make a few bucks and have a fun time collecting.

[@ghostface3655]

Man.....it would be sensory overload for me. I would have to try and calm myself before every booth...lol.

[@dtownlove10]

Saw 2 Trout PSA 10s today. They both had them at 2200. Neither wanted to discuss the back announcement

[@jacobhollifield6930]

I follow sports card investor. That 9.5 Mantle was up to 5.1 million on auction and they are expecting it to break 10 million

[@john.w.79]

Hahaha, great shoutout to Knuckleball in Horsham, PA! Got my start in collecting there as a kid. I will be there tomorrow.

[@jgibbs99]

Saw the psa 10 mantle rook on IG today..they said it's estimated 35 million!

[@hatsoff77]

Liked the video except for the disappointing praise of certain cards.

[@michaelgonzalez6749]

I was there Wednesday and Thursday with my son. We were hoping to run into you.

[@michaelgonzalez6749]

I saw you big pickup. Very nice. I have the 52 bowman. Hope to get the 52 TOPPS on day.

[@scottyakahouse]

@9:29 that card sat in a screw down for decade's , and SGC graded it lol, anyone else, their cards would have got rejected for being to thin . defiantly a nice card

[@user-ez3vq8ph2h]

if it costs $3,000 a booth at the National, how do those people make money with all those 10 cent boxes, seems like a waste of time and money for a dealer

[@DaREALJonN]

That Mantle is currently sitting around 6 million. Crazy

[@LiamOHora]

A 1952 psa 10 Mickey Mantle was on display at the national. It was posted on psa’s instagram

[@jazilla2020]

For us that can't make it as always a great big thanks to you sir love watching what you pist

[@jazilla2020]

Post

[@danielhearn4036]

One of the PSA 10 52 Mantle cards was on display. It was incredible too....it was the one that the Diamond Backs owner owns.

[@dmm5159]

Nice video. I would've been there but I just had my first born a few weeks ago

[@JabsFamily]

Congrats!!!

[@RetailRipper]

insane some of the cards / money people have in their collections. looks like a good time. thanks for sharing.

[@rodneyhickman598]

N8ce and I appreciate the tour.

[@jaredesham9380]

knuckleball sports cards in horsham???? that’s my hometown shop bro!

[@Cardboardamerica]

It’s at 6 million now and expected to sell for over 10 million.

[@Sportscardfun]

I got 2 George springer rookies for .50 each

[@wilda32]

Don't do 77 topps, nothing good in there... 75 is where its at! (But I'm sure its quite a bit more)

[@663silverstax8]

Heritage says the Mantle 9.5 will get 10 million

[@justinm9937]

Awesome video Erik

[@simondaughtry4619]

With Trout's rib issue his prices likely getting even cheaper perhaps.... especially if he misses the rest of the season which I hope DOES NOT come to pass. His last 6 seasons played he has only played in 140 games once...(that's missing 22 games ) and that was in 2016~ 6 years ago at age what 26?!! ..... he is not aging well thus far...

[@erich3131]

I plan on winning the mega millions tomorrow and then flying up to AC and spending all 1 billion dollars at the national🤣🤣🤣

[@Prescriptionsports]

Love it keep it up

[@michaelquinn720]

@jabs ..that's funny that you mentioned knuckleball sports cards... I got back into the hobby in 2006 bc it was down the block from a place I worked at the time. I bought a box of 2006 Topps cosigners and pulled a 1/1 cut of Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. That was a heck of a way to jump back into the hobby.

[@JabsFamily]

Wow what a pull!

[@Sterim00]

My grandpa has a 1951 mantle in very good condition. Not graded because we don’t have the ridiculous amount of money they charge for grading high end cards. Hoping that one day I’ll get it graded and pass it along my family tree!

[@mike_0213]

damn! you were in my neck of the woods. llol

[@Swoop187OG187]

I'm from Chicago so since we get the National here every other year, I've never felt compelled to travel out of state ..... I've actually been kicking around in my head doing a BBQ trade night type of thing for the 2023 National since I'm a local- and over the years I have met really nice youtubeers that enjoy the hobby as much as I do, and if they're going to be in the area, why not have a bonanza? lol.. Not only that but help them out with lodging and such.. I could make the 2023 National a real hoot...At any rate I'll certainly be at the 2023 National... If it matters tho I have heard a lot of complaints about New Jersey tho - just as far as logistics and stuff like parking etc.. Those are issues I know how to avoid here in Chicago, that's weird stuff only you visitors need to deal with, lol (/sarcasm).... But no, I can seriously help collectors save a ton of money just by pointing them in the right direction, and I will be happy do do so next summer....

[@junbug5595]

Thanks for the great content keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@jason5432]

Eric, if I was looking for one specific card....think it would be possible to let me know if you see it?

[@JabsFamily]

Which one?

[@caps187]

One of these days I’ll go to one. Good luck on getting a good Mantle and Trout.

[@mikeschultz6383]

That mantle 9.5 should be a 10 who graded that card sucks

[@jimmyzr1890]

Hey, I believe I watched another KZbinr yesterday that shown the 52 Mantle PSA 10 there. It may have been displayed by Topps, but I’m not sure except they had security around the case and card.

[@Tony-ew5je]

Awesome video & the booths were amazing with all them Mantles.

[@caps187]

Never seen so many baseball cards at once. :0

[@Kaleena43]

Word is that the 9.5 Mantle very well may go for just over $10 million when the auction ends. Crazy

[@JohnDeBord]

Bidding on the SGC 9.5 was at $6.5M as of last night 👍🏼

[@BigJohn0732]

Nice walk through. Blaster boxes below retail nice find. It does take a lot of walking before you usually find a good deal.

[@ripits247]

Lol I’m in the video at the 328 mark!!! That’s me in the green shirt looking through the boxes with my friends. I wish I would have seen you

[@MIKESMITH-rp2rs]

Hit the lottery and then go broke at the National !

[@ChadHuber8]

I would love too 🙄

[@dennisshea9540]

I don’t think most of these guys actually want to sell the Mantles. When you see them all in once place they don’t seem that rare

[@TradingCardEmpire]

It's like going to a Bugatti meet...still rare

[@davefinks9905]

Ugh, wish I was there. I did buy a Verlander and Kershaw rookie raw for $20 each. So I'm happy

[@BillyL1212]

I wonder if .. as you said the 3 mantles “have not seen the light of day “… you spotted 1 of the 3 PSA 10’s on display right there And you said “ supposedly there are 3 Mantles “. Really ? Did you have doubt as to their existence ? lol Nice video though and walk through 👍🏻

[@kennyh2474]

One of the PSA 10 Mantles is at the show somewhere. I saw it in someone else’s video. Thanks for the walk around Erik

[@DaveDurango]

I want a box of those Umpire cards.

[@dcfanchris]

Those Mantle prices are just insane. Never knew the story of the Rosen Mantle until I looked it up. Guess you never know whats in someones basement until you dig around sometimes!

[@joeharmon3424]

The Mantle is expected to sell for over 10 million

[@JabsFamily]

Maybe that’s why the prices of the 52 mantle in all grades are so high now

[@keith2056]

I would rather meet Ronald McDonald then Gary vee 🤣

[@the_card_closet]

Wish I could be there! Great video. Glad to see so much vintage there. Prices look really high.

[@JayTee0007]

I have some many nice verlander rookies.....interested?

[@timhackman9488]

Thanks for the awesome video. I can’t wait to go next time they come around PA

[@scottstowinsky8712]

Weird thought … You could buy a mantle raw in good shape and get graded, might be cheapest option and could get a great number, but I’m sure everyone who has a decent 52 mantle has sent it in.

[@scottstowinsky8712]

@@snerdterguson definitely good point. Fakes are definitely getting harder to spot too.

[@nunzi83]

Boom

[@queensborough_cards319]

Great vid as always Jabs!

[@darkshadow8886]

yoooooo, I was there too. I didn't see u, sad

[@lukashummer6857]

Looking to get a nice Freddie freeman patch auto card for under like $80 dollars there. It that possible?

[@jamesmincks6720]

The prices on those 52 Mantle Cards 😳😳😳😳😳

[@scottyarm]

Great stuff, Erik! ⚾️

[@goldfly]

that was a 56 topps set, not 57

[@goldfly]

one of those 3 mantle psa 10 52's was on display at the national lol

[@johns.8246]

Those 80s baseball box prices seem out of whack. $129 for a 1986 Topps box? What can you possibly hope to pull?

[@elemeno0pee]

Why negotiate when you think the listed price is fair?

[@robpische519]

Any hockey at nat

[@buschleaguers75]

id be laying off them trouts...just announced he has some rare back ailment that could surely hinder him. i think there is alot of questions surrounding him wiht this back problem.

[@JabsFamily]

The card has steadily declined month over month. It’s only going to drop more. Glad I heard the news before buying one!

[@dr.drewskii8823]

As if we all don’t know that. Still doesn’t change what he’s done.

[@Angelica-ue5ws]

[@EburksSuperCollector]

I appreciate this video. Can't make it out this year but will definitely be there next year. In search of the Pete Rose rookie. Have fun Jabs!

[@colecomito5229]

Hey jabs I just picked up a tatis patch and it has a mlb sticker on it to see what game it was used in. How do I go and type in this code and where do I go to do it?
