Omg that SGC 9.5 1952 Mantle is gorgeous

Great video. There are always nice polite vendors and the not so nice one. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

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

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

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

Excellent video, thank you Jabs.

Excellent coverage thank you.

Great video.Can't wait for that 1977 box.

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

Thanks for the upload, gonna try to go to Chicago for next year's National.

Great video Erik, I was at the National on Thursday and had a great time.

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

Great video thanks for sharing.

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.

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

That was fun. Great video.

Awesome Glad You Had Fun

Great stuff, Erik! ⚾️

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

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

Great vid as always Jabs!

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

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

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

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

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!

Love it keep it up

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

Thank you for the walkthrough for the national sports cards convention

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

Awesome video Erik

WOW THKS

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!

Fantastic

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....

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

Awesome video

Love the national

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

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

Awesome!!! I'd get so overwhelmed and want everything!! I got back into collecting recently and this is definitely on my bucket list!! I'll take your advice, have a few cards in mind and walk the whole area.

N8ce and I appreciate the tour.

Just bought my ticket to go; planning on Saturday!

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...

Thanks for the walkthrough, Erik. Wish I could be there and check it out. :(

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

That 9.5 SGC Mantle is over 6 mill currently with buyers premium on the current Heritage auction.

Heritage says the Mantle 9.5 will get 10 million

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

Nice walkthrough thanks for posting! Looks like heaven. All those amazing cards and wax, I don’t understand how anyone can waste time at dollar boxes.

That Mickey Mantle I see will go for 10 million.

@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.

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

Love the Mantle search. My dad has a near complete 1958 Topps set he collected as a child. I get it out just to look at the Mantle every time I make it back home.

I would camp out at the .10 boxes

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

Really regretting not booking a trip there now.

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

Hey jabs! Today I bought a heritage blaster at target and it turned out to be a hot box! I pulled a Wander hot box parallel and an Andrew Benintendi relic.

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

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!

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

I want a box of those Umpire cards.

Dang that Cade Cunningham black shimmer next to the mantle

That Mantle will auction for 6 plus million dollars.

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

Never seen so many baseball cards at once. :0

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

That Mantle is currently sitting around 6 million. Crazy

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

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

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

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

Been waiting for this one, thanks so much for the walk through! Wish I could hv been there!

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..

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

Awesome stuff jabs can't wait for more

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

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.

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

I sold some incredible old boxes to BBCE

Hit the lottery and then go broke at the National !

Hey, I believe I watched another KZfaqr 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.

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 🤑

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

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

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

The Mantle is expected to sell for over 10 million

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

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

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

Jabs!

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

I got 2 George springer rookies for .50 each

I’m so jealous, I would love to go to the National. I would definitely wanna get one of those bat down Acunas. Thanks for walk through Jabs

I would love to go to the national one of these days! Thank you for showing us around! Good luck trying to get some deals!

@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

I have always wondered if the booth owners are nervous about carrying all those cards (money) around? Traveling with tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars of individual cards would be nerve-racking! I'd be terrified!

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

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 👍🏻
