The story of one of my stranger baseball card collection purchases. A private collection sale which went from a long shot to very promising to a blown opportunity to bizarre.

@@collectorinvestordealer fantastic. You illuminate a great lesson in that story as well. You catch a lot more bees using honey instead of vinegar. That's how my mom said it anyway. You can achieve a lot more success using kindness instead of aggression. I never should've given up the childhood dream of my childhood collection one day being worth a fortune. Never would have dreamed that my collection would have been close to 1million. I had 18, 2 pages worth of jeter sp foil rookies, 3 chrome Lebrons, topps pristine refractor lebron rc, Bowman rc, Kobe UDglass crystal 88/100, and so much vintage baseball it is sickening to think back on. Sold them all for $800 when I was struggling in my 20's. Cautionary tale. Keep up the great content my friend. The people love it.

Thanks for the time. Dream deals turned nightmare. In 1992 I make a buy off of a lady of some 1970’s football and baseball cards I found in her attic while routing phone lines, about 20,000 cards for $300. Unsorted and mint, I stored them with my collection in my brothers garage until I could go through them. Two weeks later his truck caught fire and the garage was a total loss. Actually took me out of the hobby until 2 years ago. Well, good times, LOL. Cheers!

Enjoyed the story. In the 1970’s, I had put an ad in a local paper that I was buying cards. A widow, as in this story, called and wanted to dispose of her husband’s collection. Turns out they were mostly 1930’s Goudeys! Im proud to say I didn’t lowball her. Instead, I sold a lot of the stars at auction in Sports collector’s digest. She got a few thousand dollars and I kept mostly commons. I do have a 1933 Ruth from that collection that isn’t in great condition. She also gave me a trunk full of old publications so it worked out for both of us.

Any standout cards from the deal that you remember?

I dont remember exactly, I think that I split the Ripkens up for the coin flip so I was guaranteed to get half of them. And then I bought the other half from him later. There really werent any big dollar cards in the collection (probably nothing over $100), but it was so bulky that it added up.

It brightens my day to see the values are returning to what was my passion for some time, when I was much younger. Thanks for the content. And one more thing...Cal is the man! He’s always been my favorite player too, and I’ve been lucky enough to meet him in person a few times, and acquire his autograph on multiple items (books, balls, photos, and even a couple bats). My prize possessions. I have a couple awesome jerseys too (one white, and one orange), but alas, not autographed.

I'm a huge Cal Ripken fan too, he was the Mike Trout of the '80s. I have a clear plastic holder filled with about 500 Cal Ripken cards that I amassed over the years. I still remember I was the victim of a bad trade - I traded an '84 Topps Ripken for a mail-away glossy card of him. I didn't understand that base cards are (were?) worth more than inserts. Today I must have a few copies of that '84 card and his '82 Topps Rookie. Take that, Josh! (but I still love you, man!)

@@collectorinvestordealer thanks for responding yep you're right it happens something happened today I'm not sure if it's happened to you before but I checked got an email that Walmart stocked new football basketball baseball cards on their website and they're stocked in my store but I called my store and they said they didn't have any I don't know what that's all about do you know

I dont know for sure but probably there are dealers who know exactly when the delivery is and they arrive early and buy out the store right away

@@collectorinvestordealer that's true I thought they were putting the limits 2 per customer hopefully panini and the stores are fixing this issue cuz they people need to leave stuff back for other collectors instead of hoarding up it's kind of greedy I just figured you might know something that's going on with that

Dude, great story. Enjoyed. Did you win the Cal box on the flip? Always enjoy

I split the Ripkens up 50/50 into two boxes to guarantee I got half of them in the coin flip. Bought the other half back from the guy when I went to his place

Great story - glad you were able to make the purchase and get what you wanted. Dealing with the gentleman who had no knowledge of sportscards was a classic.

Good story. Most enjoyable. Feel like I learned something from an expert storyteller. I'm new to watching these after joining CardLadder. I'm still trying to familiarize myself with the format here and glad I didn't lose you in the shuffle.
