Top 12 MISSING Sports Cards ($30 MILLION LOST)

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thanks to Basketball Card Fanatic Magazine, Scottie B Cards, theScore, SlabStox and Fanatics Live who have reported on and mocked up some of these cards over the last few years.

[@shutupmanful]

Tom Brady personally has that card I bet

[@NLCollector]

Any real collector would have it graded and it would be in system so most likely not

[@BiGSiX56]

Yeah word . Some people got more then anyone but why gotta say

[@Ama99717]

I think some of these have definitely been pulled, but the collector doesn’t want to show them to the public.

[@Doors067]

Not card wise but I know a guy who has something like this in the comics world like a comic thought lost with just 5 prints or something he showed me, was really neat he doesn't even like comics but rich people don't turn down massive opportunities

[@grindstone11]

Probably wasn’t a collector that pulled it. Just put it somewhere or thrown away honestly

[@Zman82]

doesn't know what they got. Some 12-year-old has it in his binder or something

[@jpmnky]

These cards are in collections and the owners don’t want it known the have them. For damn good reason. I know this for a fact. I have a stupid valuable card and it’s in a safety deposit box.

[@davidbertrand7069]

How many millionaires do you think rip packs? My guess is not many. A middle class person isn’t holding on to a million dollar card.

[@KipArmadillo]

Many of these are in landfills. After all, there once was a time when kids just opened cards, in search of their favorite players, without the risk of developing pre-pubescent gambling addictions.

[@pingadol1555]

Yes total manipulation.

[@metsrus]

all these cards ain't that old bud. I'm sure people know the value of a card if they see one. Heck even in the early 90s when i grew up, people were taking careful of their comics and cards, knowing that it could be worth a lot in the future.

[@SomeoneElsesStory]

Now they’re doing coin flips for high low payouts at every transaction and adding EVEN MORE gambling.

[@lovetruth1776]

Lol gambling is on the rise, unfortunately. I hope card collecting is as far as i go

[@Weezy10580]

Exactly. Thank you voice of reason. This clown on whatnot was selling the curry packs hyping these up like it could happen. Naive idiots were paying almost 1k a pack

[@Dog8myhomework]

You can trim a card that was graded a 9 with BGS, rub off some ink on the auto which got a 9, submit the card to PSA and it will come back a PSA 10? Good to know. 😂

[@zkspsjsj]

And now it’s altered and worth nothing

[@bleb87]

​@@zkspsjsjoh psa paid a ton for it.

[@Ilovebeingfat]

@@zkspsjsj if you watched the vid the alterd one still sold for a lot, buddy.

[@LaBoofay]

I still can’t figure out how he trimmed that much of the Soto card off and passed it off as normal size. Both cards in the side by side fit the slab perfectly and you can see he took a considerable amount off of the top. Doesn’t add up

[@cpcjefe]

@@zkspsjsjthey bought it back from the owner he said, never said a price but they cant just take back his card bc of what he did, someone still would have paid top dollar for that soto card and he probably got a bag from psa so psa can save themselves

[@shotzbyjay_]

I love videos like this. Showing there’s treasure still out there to be found & potentially striking “gold”. Great video Geoff. Please make more chase missing videos

[@brandonmiller4484]

These cards have been pulled…. Boxes will go down in value if they surface losing way more value than the cards worth. Just a thought but doesn’t seem unreasonable

[@AW729CARDS]

Never know!! Look at Giannis there’s rumors he kept a lot of his cards that he was supposed to sign 🤣 Giannis sees own logoman card “I need that”

[@davidbertrand7069]

Worry not, the CT machines are looking.

[@DabCityyy]

I'm honestly under the impression that the triple auto has been pulled by an individual who has a good amount of sealed packs left, and is waiting to sell the last of them before he redeems.

[@willhanken6792]

That is a brilliant assumption lol

[@Wdportsports]

Yup think this to

[@Yit27]

If I pulled one of these cards, I would buy all the boxes and sell them as much as I could, knowing that I have the card and that the boxes were only go up in time

[@brianplord]

God wouldn’t approve

[@thomasloyd843]

​@@brianplordPeople don't seek to stay right with God. They cheat and lie, then ask for forgiveness. 😢

[@brianplord]

@@thomasloyd843 :(

[@bobbyboucher1096]

You must be super rich! Instead of buying stocks or bonds you would buy wax at already inflated prices and sit on a 7-8 figure card instead of selling it and making money on an investment? Surely your shoe box full of cardboard will outpace inflation, real-estate, and the stock market.

[@tayvaun09]

🤔 if your gonna make a 1of1 card at least make it stick out and look rare so it can't be confused or looked at as regular, that Mookie card might be in a binder or even garbage

[@Drew-dd5nh]

Totally agree. Heck I'm thinking I might even have this ugly grey Mookie somewhere.

[@tayvaun09]

@@Drew-dd5nh 🙏🏾👍🏾 the moment you see a 1of1 card yours eyes should pop and jaws should drop cause just how special it looks ,😒 no numbered or rare card should look base period

[@scottpitner4298]

That Jordan card you showed with the contrasting colors is the coolest looking card i think I’ve ever seen

[@ricardog8206]

Your videos are awesome. I feel like whoever is deciding topics and doing the editing is doing an amazing job. Topics are relevant, production value is high and it’s a diverse set of video formats. Keep up the great work

[@jillyes1]

Topps Employee stealing them all

[@henrys3629]

Probably never even inserted in packs.

[@officialghetty]

I’m sure the higher ups of companies or ppl who worked the release have them somehow pulled an inside move to acquire them

[@vintiquesokc]

This sure seems like a commercial hyping up sealed products by a person who has a known stash of sealed products, an attempt to counteract the drop in sealed prices due to CT scanning.

[@huntingmusky]

Your contect lately has been great, this and the trade debate have been the best!

[@Jetman41]

Geoff doing his best Robert Stack impersonation on this episode of Unsolved Sportscard Mysteries 🤔🧐🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jpmnky]

There will never be another Robert Stack.

[@thomasm155]

GREAT topic. Kudos. Interesting and attention capturing

[@mnmcards5251]

Awesome stories, great video, thanks for sharing 👍

[@angelou1]

Get the CT scanner ready!

[@CABD5150]

What about the 2014 Prizm Messi Black 1/1? I thought that card had never been pulled. It would be 10x bigger than some of the cards you included on this list.

[@bodietyler519]

I think some of these prior to 2010 and the social media boom are locked away in PC's to preserve the mystery.

[@Hectekk]

Box owners are definitely scanning their boxes.

[@cmorrow0231]

I can't even imagine pulling one of these grails - luckily I don't have a down payment on a house sitting around to blow on a box - guess I'll have to start hitting the yard sales and hoping for some binder magic...

[@NomahsSportsCards]

This is one of your best videos ever! Thank you.

[@knuckleskinner]

I have three 2009 Topps Basketball boxes, a box of 1997 Metal Universe BBCE, and a box of 1997 EX-2001. Hit me up Jeff.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Wow! Time to rip!

[@knuckleskinner]

@@SportsCardInvestor set up a break that’s beneficial to both of us.

[@BigDirtDawg]

@@knuckleskinnerdo you really? That’s nuts

[@jeremygriffin205]

The Curry refractor card is in a closed down pawn shop. Sold for pennies!

[@DaveCoolMusic]

Great list of cards and I know one day someone will find one or two of those cards!

[@kicrocks]

I never even glance at my 4 year olds pokemon cards before he destroys them lol i see how these can "disappear "

[@anthonybigalbal6503]

Awesome video idea and execution!

[@kirkthompson4576]

Keep up with this type of post Jeff. You came across as an expert and insightful and not self serving.,👍

[@deezihogan8675]

Imagine how many house fires and floods that destroyed some amazing cards and memorabilia.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

my card collection - nearly 100,000 at one time - survived two house plumbing disasters. Total fluke that not a single card was wrecked despite the wreckage elsewhere in the house.

[@AW729CARDS]

You think you would hear about that though! Interesting to think about

[@BigDieselKards]

Or how many ex-wife's / ex-girlfriends threw out their husbands / boyfriends card collections for cheating or whatever.

[@IdLike2Apologize2AbsolutelyNo1]

This happened to me in 2014 when my parents house burnt down when I was in college. I had all kinds of jordan cards, muiltple 86 fleer rookies, tons of griffey jr cards, and pokemon galore 2 1st edition charizard shadowless, along with multiple base charizards, some of the Japanese set. Sucks. When I seen all the prices these cards where going for during the pandemic i nearly cried. I got away from the hobby after the fire but have slowly started collecting again. Watching my childhood go up in smoke losing everything took a toll on me just years of memories I'll never get back.

[@ChevyC-jo9pw]

Those 2023 bowman chrome I have about 70 of them I’m gonna open them all up

[@michaelthurman5879]

Half these cards are in the garbage

[@Darren-xj7fg]

Would not say any are

[@michaelthurman5879]

@Darren-xj7fg you don't think some 12 year old kid opened these back in the day and they got thrown out when he cleaned his closet?

[@willbain9130]

@@michaelthurman5879 12 year olds are not opening UD Ultimate Collection, Topps Mercury Wemby, or the Topps Now USA cards without an adult looking over their shoulder. I was 14 when EX-2001 came out, and no way in hell my parents would have bought me a box of those or Metal Universe, so I doubt many 12 year olds opened those. Everything else is newer within the last decade, so the only 1 on this list that I think was maybe opened & lost by a teenager would be the Betts, because that parallel was too much like the base card.

[@damonhuck5115]

This was a fun video and maybe could be turned into a running series? Maybe 2-4 episodes a year?

[@davidclap8516]

Probably a mixture of not wanting to share, not knowing what they have, haven't been opened or lost or trashed somewhere

[@charlesyuan]

I know the guy who has the Curry rookie superfractor, unfortunately passed away

[@charlesyuan]

(Day 69 of spreading misinformation on the internet)

[@kenthamilton9459]

Yeah - I HAVE IT! - and my demise was Greatly Exaggerated!!

[@thriftfinds9256]

some of these are definitely in landfill somewhere.....thanks mom!

[@dylanpowers1137]

Honerable mention to the Evan Longoria Bowman Chrome Rookie Superfractor. While not worth as much today it’s still a chase for some

[@henrys3629]

This is why you don't leave packs and boxes sealed. I found a $500 card in a JW era box 4 years ago

[@VintageFlyMothXR339]

The Evan Longoria Super 1/1 has never surfaced as well.

[@billp6605]

Enjoyed this video. I hope these are sitting in collections and not landfills.

[@TannerToxicity]

Isn’t there a missing Shohei rookie Superfractor from 2018 bowman? The 1/1 SSP carrying bag card.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

That’s true, that one is missing as well

[@BodoFragginz]

I'd love to see if videos like this from industry insiders / influencers have a direct effect on the market for these sets. Does their value spike temporarily as people suddenly get more or re interested in these cards and trying to pull one of these grails themselves?

[@myguy_rips]

Yeah, I agree with a bunch of other people. A lot of these cards likely have been pulled and a lot of people don’t even care to share having these cards as they become a target and could be subject to IRS.

[@nyr36]

Great video. Loved seeing all the cards!!

[@AaronClark-e2r]

This is really entertaining thank you so much. I really enjoyed watching.

My older brother and I started to collect baseball cards for a brief time back in 1989. But life got in the way and we moved on but he recently passed away and I found some old boxes 1989 bowman 1990 upper deck 1990 fleer and others. Are they worth anything please let me know since you are an expert. Thank you

[@cujobyte]

I think some are at the Topps executive offices lol

[@jimc.goodfellas]

It's crazy to think someone would take a card like that Soto and trim it themselves, alter it, whatever... ridiculous

[@robertgomez5997]

What about the Topps Now 1/1 double auto of Curry and Messi card???? Topps now needs to pump the breaks until that card and the basketball triple auto are found in my opinion.

[@MD76MAC]

Its probably at Topps headquarters in a vault and they do crap like this to sell remaining stock they cant get rid of.

[@Drew-dd5nh]

We all remember how hard it was to even find Prizm's Luka RC in a silver. I know this Co.keeps certain top cards. Luka's black is in a mansion in a safe. Homeowner, whoever runs Panini.

[@flick_fire]

[@BellisSh]

Was in Oklahoma. My lcs did own it

[@brucethecardcollector]

The card has never been seen

[@Darren-xj7fg]

Be driving down the road and see a superfractor on a bicycle, that would be crazy.

[@nintendofan1921]

The fact that PSA not only gets so upset about a card being graded wrong by them that they buy them back from the collector and lock them away is absolutely insane and ridiculous and I have no idea why any person or collector would willingly sell a business your physical possessions.

most likely the other Kobe Green PMG is somewhere in Asia

Very interesting that most of these are 1/1’s some may be pulled and they don’t make it public some could be sealed but this many 1/1’s and rare cards. Sounds like a back door or inside job to me.

[@CollectingCardboard]

Good topic you guys touch-on here, Geoff! In keeping along lines with this theme, perhaps you might consider...."putting in the leg-work".....and do a video about some...." _BIG CARDS_ ", which might have surfaced for the first time/been pulled [relatively] recently! Of course; I'm not talking about cards from the '24 or even '23 seasons/production year(s), but rather; say....(just as examples)....if a 2014 Kobe Bryant 1 of 1 auto.....or a Mahomes Gold Prizm RC..... or an Ohtani RC auto #/25 ( _or_ ,...even something _OLDER_ or _RARER_ !) Just a thought, friend! 😉👍

There’s two of these cards I know to be owned, one of which by a super collector that owns a massive construction company in my home town.

[@TravisDavis-s1p]

I think I know where some of these cards are. I have a wild/crazy story that would blow people's minds. I'm in Houston TX. I ran across one of the biggest sports cards collections EVER!!!! I had cards worth millions of dollars in my hands over 2 weeks of time. One day I'll write a book about my experience. I don't care if anyone believes me. I have pictures of certain cards that MOST people will NEVER have a chance to see in person in a lifetime, let alone see them ALL together at once. I get depressed and upset about how this "once in a lifetime" experience played out, but I've always said " it's the story of my life". I've been soooooo close to hitting THE JACKPOT, but for some reason, it doesn't happen

[@jboystv1876]

If had any high end LeBron James cards I might think of selling them before Diddy goes to court

[@southernsocceridiot1986]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty certain that the 1/1's from 2014 Panini Prizm World Cup for both Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo have never been found or acknowledged to have been pulled. A gold #/10 PSA 10 for Messi went for over $500k a couple of years ago. Being that this set is seen as one of, if not THE, most important soccer set of all time, I would have to imagine that either 1/1 would easily breach $1M and probably go for even higher. 🤔🤩⚽💰
