As much as i liked Wade Boggs, you should have kept the Jordan. ☹

@@lorenanders702 ... agreed

Ouch!!! Now I think you can get the auto gold version for like $30 bucks, lol. That was the "holy grail" of 1992-93. Taylor was supposed to be the next 'Doc Gooden' and he was to an extent - after he threw his career down the toilet destroying his shoulder in a neighborhood brawl he ended up in prison for drug trafficking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brien_Taylor#After_baseball Mistake #1 don't buy with the trends SELL with the trends... I learned that when I was 10 lol.

I have a idiotic amount in three signed 1992 Topps Gold Brien Taylor cards along with a signed ball from Brien.... Good news is all four have been for sale since 1995 !

Even graded cards are being faked. Hope you run those numbers before buying. I bought one once and when I checked the serial number it didn't exist

Brent Thompson :::: I use to only buy from reputable companies; mainly the big 3.

Could care less about graded cards.

Upper deck didn't produce a Jefferies rookie

@@jasonmatteson9909 Then I guess the one I found in my '89 upperdeck box set that was factory sealed is fake. Lol. Of course they did.

That happened to you too? LOL! I guess I'll join the team now. But... Jefferies was decent...ish.

Jefferies just needs a few more years to develope😂

Thx and still getting that education...haha

I am so glad to know that I'm not the only one who remembers Kal Daniels! 🤣

Haha yeah I've got the Todd Zeile and the Grissom cards too...I'll never forget that ugly 1990 donruss rated rookie zeile card.

topps85401 Lol thx!

Super 25 Sports Cards Thx!!

Haha thanks!

Yes, that is exactly the show. I know it is not a big show but worked out with my calendar. Enjoy the Yankees vs. O's game!

reemak8500 Thanks I really appreciate that. Hopefully people find this stuff interesting or at least learn from my stupidity. Thx for watching!!

Appreciate it. Thanks!

I think it would depend on what grade it is in. You should probably have it authenticated and slabbed. I see a card on eBay like that going for over a 100 dollars.

Thanks, good idea.

Thx! I'm probably going to re-submit the Ripken rookie to see if PSA is consistent.

Haha silver (jackify) lining...nice

Bostonbuckeye76 Thx...I'll have to check that out...it's looooong overdue that i put them in something

Thx!

But any of those cards could be off sized. Best way is too simply measure it.

Thx

Thank you!

Lol thanks....And I even remember thinking that I got a grade trade.

Thanks Pepino man! I meant to kiss the Red Backs during the video but forgot to do it...haha.

Wow! That is such a simple yet great idea. I have a gary sanchez blue auto that I am dreading on putting in a penny sleeve because of this exact reason but i have to get it out of the screw down that it is in. I'm definitely going to try your recommendation.

MetalJames1282 ::::: That is so kid genius!! I’ve ruined some sharp corners during my days of collecting. I’ll be sure to pass this idea onto younger collectors. Thanks...!! ⚾️

@@tonysteel1377 I use two common cards. Put those in halfway first then the good card right between then pull out the commons.

Hahahaha

Thanks! Great question and sorry for the long response. First, I would recommend that you educate yourself on the baseball card industry before selling anything. A lot has changed and there is nothing worse then feeling like you got ripped off because you didn't know any better. It is important to note that if you get certain high-end cards graded and they do well that they can sell for big money. Second, I think you are going to find that the cards you picked up as a kid are worth more to you than the couple of dollars the guy at the card store is willing to give you. I would recommend looking up some of your better cards on eBay and seeing what they are selling for. Also, you can sell cards for free on eBay if you start the bidding at 99 cents. I suppose that If you are looking to just get rid of your cards that there is no harm in seeing with the card store guy is willing to give you...but chances are that he has a bunch of those cards as well and is not going to give you much.

Thanks yea I think you are right I should just hold on to them. I liked your video about investments/ dos and don't and buy some nice singles. Another Q sorry but I have searched the internet all over and beside they say one is more glossy looking what is the difference in the topps Tiffany randy Johnson rookie and the regular? Thanks a lot man.

You are asking the wrong person about Tiffany versus regular since I literally have never owned a Topps Tiffany card before. With that being said, I have my eye on the 87 Topps Tiffany Maddux PSA 10. From what I understand they are more glossy than the base card like you said. I would only go for Tiffany if it is a special card and you are interested in scarcity....obviously Tiffany cards are going to be more scarce.

SilverJackify only 5000 sets were made of the tiffany cards. the paper stock is also slightly different. and yes they are glossy.

S Denaro the tiffany version is glossy. only 5000 sets were made and the paper stock is just a bit different.

Thank you!

Rick Diehl omg....my heart goes out to you...your story made my heart drop....just bought one too for a price I'd rather not say in m last video...wow

Speaking of that Toby Hall autograph I was friends with his son, he used to play at my Little League.

Sorry but I don't sell my cards. I will be doing a pretty big give away soon so stay tuned for that. Very cool about Toby Hall!

Lot of people are holding bad cardboard because of steroids lol

That’s not a mistake still nice to have. He will make the hof some day.

sell them when they release the 30 30 of Sosa and McGuire . Im sure the demand will be there

Wow...that is rough...lol

WHOS THAT ?

Hahaha...Hal Morris...I have a bunch of his too

SilverJackify lol i got a ton

Yup, live and learn....luckily you are aware of your mistake. Some people never learn.

@@SilverJackify I was born in 80 and collected a lot as a kid. I have a ton of cards from late 80s but none are in very good shape. Being a kid we really didn't take care of them. I used to put them in 50 card bundles with rubber bands!😂 I did take a little better care of the big stars but they are also not mint from always handling them! Anyways I got back into collecting about a year ago and any good card or prospect I get now immediately goes into a hard case! My biggest find so far is a 59 Ted Williams I got for $7. Had it graded by PSA and it came back a 9! That's my favorite card I have right now. My second is probably my Barry Bonds rc that came back a 10! I took a risk buying both of them off Ebay but they paid off. But after getting the cut Jordan I'm gonna be more careful as to who I buy from! Keep up the good vids, they are helpful for people getting back into the hobby and fun to watch. Subd to your channel!

Condition has always mattered to me. I guess it is how you grow up. My dad always preached to me that condition was everything and so it stuck with me. I have a really hard time enjoying a card that is off center or has a big crease in it.

That is the problem with the mindset of newer collector's. Everything has to be a gem mint 10/10/10/10. My dad made us keep all of our "collectible" in their original packages to preserve their "value". Value is arbitrary. I don't care what my cards are worth (the monetary value thereof). There's nothing wrong with wanting better conditioned cards, but not everyone has the money available to buy pristine cards. There is a bit of romance in vintage cards that aren't of high grade.

The true value of a card should be its rarity. Most modern cards won't be worth much in the future because everyone is buying cards and putting them in plastic sleeves. So the market will be saturated with cards that are in good condition.

If only i could take a 100 bucks back in time and go to one of those shows.

SilverJackify lol 100 bucks would have got me like 5 Greg Jeffries ha ha

Jerry Jacobsen Nice!

David Arthur Great idea...I should have my wife help me with that because she is a "photographer" as well

Just remember the lingo is different, when we say big baseball card, they're saying 5x7? lol, that's one reason I save those old topps give away inserts from my pack breaks, or have pieces of cardboard the size of my large cards. Cause you might bend it trying to force it etc. stuff happens, need to protect investment/hobby

If it scratches them it’s not very much. Paper cards are a lot harder to scratch then chrome or something of that nature.

AngelBaby Cards every body scratches cards sometime or another it’s going to happen. No ones perfect and we learn from our mistakes.

Mike Aldrete! You have a gold mine! Thanks for watching

What do you think about those really expensive box sets, like the Topps Definitive series?

Olerud WOULD BE in the HOF if he had batted .400 and his cards would be BANK today as long as STERIODS weren't mentioned/involved. Roger Maris is NOT in the HOF and his 60, 61 and 62 cards are very expensive ! If John had batted .400 in 1993.....the people buying those cards from YOU would be writing NOW about how foolish you were !! That's just one of the GREAT thing about collecting...…Imagine this past year all the announcers saying it had been 25 years since the last .400 hitter.....John Olerud. People would definitely STILL want those cards.

I might be wrong in the end but that's why I'm selling off most of the Ohtanis that I get now. Pretty inflated prices for a guy that had a good year and also got hurt. Hanging on to some of them just in case but you're able to get so much for them now.

Haha that's right! I still can't believe i did that...lol
