So a guy who knows nothing about cards now thinks their worth 3k ? Lol

[@spida817express]

He was probably looking online and just seeing prices. The cards online were probably graded, so he thought his cards were worth that. He made the same mistake that 99.9 % of non collectors would make….Not the end of the world, but he found out about reality in the offer. All is well that ends well… Everyone went home happy.

"I appreciate you trusting us with your collection." The dude just sold you cards that he supposedly found in an attic and were supposedly sitting around for 20 years that he says he forgot all about. Let's not get all sentimental here if you want us to believe the back story of all this.

[@user-me1jv9kq8f]

[@crdchaser]

I have cards from when I was 6 years old. My father’s best friend was dying of cancer when I lived in New York he gave me his whole Yankees collection from when he was a kid. I have a Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle card I actually have two one graded a PAA 8 the other a 4 I have rookies of all of the Yankees including Ruth DiMaggio Rizzuto Berra Gehrig and so on. I left that home in New York in 1980 to go to California and my collection was in the Attic and my mother and father brought it with them. The collection could have easily stayed in the attic.

[@aaronmaxim]

Honestly, it was a great tutorial on how not to buy cards. " very cool collection, how much are you looking for?" Or " very cool collection, are you looking to grade these?" That's it, let him decide. Don't need to analyze and go over your plans with every card and you sure as shit don't guess what it will grade. Painful. The young guy next to you is thinking same thing you can see it in his body language.

[@crankycardguy1369]

he knew about those cards. House flippers are sleazy. he knew what he wanted to do before he got there.

[@ChicosBackTV]

Personally, I would've let him walk and stayed firm at $1250, I think the time, labor and work to get these cards prepped and put it out is a lot and your offer was already fair. The fact that he kept almost threatening you by saying he would just put them back in storage are the people I hate dealing with the most. Let him go somewhere else where they'll offer him $500 or better yet let him sit on them and maybe get $500 more in 20 years. Love your videos but this guy just made me so annoyed LOL

[@gametimegallery7661]

Yep. Hard to see condition, so thinking most of these grade 4 and 5. I’d pass.

[@ashtonscardboardcircus5345]

"I'm not a collector" "I know nothing about cards" but i think its worth 50% more

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

At the risk of sounding like ''the old guy," it's depressing that such a cool find of old cards, with all the nostalgia they stimulate, gets reduced to, ''I see some edge wear here. My gut feeling is that most of these are 4s or 5s." Grading wrecked the hobby.

[@stereomois]

Nope, you are right. I see people trading those all the time.

[@cardboardcheddah3715]

I was multitasking watching this video. I cringe at these kind of sellers. It’s free money to them, they don’t know the value or have any overhead in such investments. They’ve picked your brain for free for over an hour and the. decided all their bright ideas were wrong but they know you didn’t offer your best price at the end of the day. If you would have said from beginning. “This is my rock bottom.” And kept your word, you’d have thaught everyone watching how not to waste your time. This guys a worm…nobody cares if those cards come out of your closet. It’s probably better they don’t. Kick Rocks!

[@johnboutet7560]

So Jeff doesn't know the years off the top of his head on these pretty common year cards? How do you not know 1970 Football or 1969 Basketball or 1971 Baseball?

[@johnnyv1938]

No, he is clueless just like his idiot worker. Depend on a computer to tell them what they have

Having some vintage in the store is cool for the customers . The bulk rate was fair because I saw a few in there that will go 10x to 20x but 500 of them will 2X and maybe 100 will 3- 5X. Overall not a lot of profit considering the amount of time to sell the majority but I think it's good to have variety in a store that grand. The graded vintage will work out for people wanting an affordable mid grade of a favorite card that would be out of their budget. I think Geoff was thinking this adds 600 vintage cards to the store more so than a large profit.

[@derekhellerstedt9740]

love the 1990 random bowman card in the baseball pages!!!!! lol

[@ebaymandavid723]

“Container” lmao 😂 Great vintage purchase you just did! This vid reminds me of the estate sale I was at several years & I bought up an entire early 1970s baseball, football, basketball & hockey collection for $500…it was a steal of a price! 🤘😉

Feels like a really strong offer on those cards. I would've stuck to my guns at 1k given the work, time they will probably sit there, and limited upside baked into mid/high grades of the bigger cards

Wow I am surprised about how much you guys do NOT know about vintage cards. You don't know who's valuable and who's not. You guys should hire me to be a consultant of vintage cards lol. You guys missed two Johnny bench's a 70 and a 71. were there Clemente's or munson rookies? 2nd year munson is a key. You really should have been more up front with him about what you counted in the "bulk rate". This seems kind of squirrely to me.

Wow that was way too much for that collection!!! I honestly would not have given no more than $500 for that collection because honestly there were only two nice cards in the whole collection and that was the Nolan Ryan and the Wilt Chamberlain that he kept! I would have told him to take him home because he would have most likely took them somewhere else and they would have probably offered him $400 or $500 for them and he would have came running back

The '71 Topps Baseball are REALLY tough to find in mint condition. IN my opinion a Mint Set is a Holy Grail goal. My buddy used to do his chores back in the late 70's early 80s and his mom would give him a pack of 71s to open. It was always cool to stay over at his house...

not a fan of this guy at all. Claims he knows nothing about cards but talks about getting them graded with PSA, had no intention of keeping the Wilt until he found out it was worth a bit and Geoff planted the idea in his head. Just something a bit off with him including him thinking that he knows what they are worth or that they are gonna be worth more in the future and he also gets to keep the best card in the lot. C'mon Geoff! U getting soft fella!

[@davidlewis3819]

There was more value in the binders than the cards HQ guys realized or were willing to mention. 69’ BB is loaded with RCs of many NBA Top 75 players that were blown past and 71 baseball high numbers like Blue and Allen can bring real money in decent condition. 70 Bench High # is a bigger card than most of what they pulled out. Doesn’t seem like anyone there has depth of knowledge on vintage.

[@jasonstuckey7015]

I was totally going to comment with the exact same information.. especially when I saw them blow by the high number 71 Allen.. the knowledge of vintage details is extremely weak and desperately needs to be a focus to hire on his team.. they could also just sell the partial sets on Ebay to move the majority along as well.

[@BBoergert]

You forgot OR maybe you didn't the 1970 Gale Sayers & the [ 2 ] 1970 Dick Butkus .

Geoff, I enjoyed this video and look forward to seeing more like this in the future. You’re not going to please all the viewers, as you well know. However, I need to say that you guys should have stuck to your guns at 1k. The best part of the video was the back and forth with your guy about the pricing logic. What you both came up with made total sense and was extremely fair. Anything higher than 1k was too risky. I actually wouldn’t mind a video where, at the end, you simply cannot come to an agreement. Thats the reality many times, it wouldn’t hurt to show a few of those here and there too. That being said, hopefully you fair well on the grading. It would be nice to get a follow-up video on those results in the future, win or lose.

This was fun. You should do more of these deals like this with collections, single card deals, etc. Set up a small table in corner and have it be your "Deal table". People love this stuff. TLC has tons of these types of shows lol. My only issue is with the Straw rookie. It's not. Some people mistake it as his rookie. His 83 Topps Traded is his most valuable card and his rookie card. But with this guy who honestly wouldn't know the difference and isn't a collector, the 84 is his first main set Topps release which is where thew confusion comes into play with these players who have the updated set rookies. So it's fine. The guy had a nice story about both and he had a smile when he got the Straw so you know what - alls well that ends well!
