The excitement... of turning $20,000 into $200! Boom!!

Vintage breaks swap packs. They are legit scammers as we've seen in the recent videos of proof that they scam. Be careful who you decide to feature on your channel.

Feel like I just watched Geraldo open Al Capone ‘s vault again.

Broken literally a couple dozen 1952 Bowman baseball sets made up of cards pulled from penny packs as well as from 5 cent packs so I have seen lots of cards with wax stains. Never seen a wax stain like the one pulled from that pack. I think that is what the back would look like if the pack were subjected to being reheated to resealing. My suspicion is that BBCE got it wrong on this pack being originally sealed. Additionally he had to struggle to peel the wax wrapper to open it and ended up having to tear it to get the cards out. Pretty confident that pack was resealed based on those two observations.

You just GOT TO love breaking a $20k pack to get maaaaaybe $500 worth of value. Some things in the hobby are just awesome hahahaha

I think it's cool to see things like this but it also shows how the hobby has really transformed into different worlds--one very elite and based on financials most can't fathom and everyone else. It's become collecting classic cars or wine at this point.

Great news for the other 1952 pack owners out there....now there's one less available and your stock just went up. Awesome video however, loved the thrill of the possibilities.

all 6 cards were in numerical order in the set. 165-170.

The remaining unopened 52 Bowman packs just skyrocketed in value 🤣🤑

It’s still cool to have a card that old. A real artefact. Vintage has a charm that modern simply doesn’t have.

Hilarious watching people clapping when someone turns a very rare 20k item into $100 worth of easily found commons. Maybe tommorow you could take a Picasso and use to wrap Christmas presents??

A bunch of commons. I didn’t know Panini was around back then…lol

I just received my (43) 1951 Bowman submission back from PSA after 18 months. I actually had two PSA 8's of Pee Wee Reese & Bobby Thomson. Overall, I was happy with the grades.

No Mays or Mickey or a HOF’er? Hmm, the pack must’ve been authenticated by BBCE.

That’s how you turn 20k into 300 bucks lol. I understand though. The rush must have been something. I’d almost rather leave it sealed and in my own mind that Mickey Mantle will be in that pack lol

Wow that was a dumpster fire

The privilege of opening Al Capone's empty vault baseball card style.

I was born in 1953. Glad I didn’t pay 20,000$ for that pack.

Glad everyone is comfortable paying for the experience... Because that's all that it was.. It was amazing just to watch, but please leave the rest of the history sealed!!

Vintage breaks literally confirmed pack scamming yesterday😂

Did he really not put them in pennies sleeves! Wow

Talk about flushing $20k down the toilet.

Thanks for opening it up. Cards look good for being 70 years old.

I remember when those could be had for $50-$60. Almost nobody collected unopened packs.

I was hoping for you pal. It would have been sweet to see a big card pulled even if it wasn't the Mantle. Now, the remaining packs have become more desirable. All the best!

Pack was probably opened in 2005.

It's cool, feeling like a kid again opening up a pack of baseball cards. But in this case, a $20,000 pack.

The phrase "For the love of all that is holy don't do that" just jumped out of my mouth. Does this guy think a 5 cent pack hasn't been searched? Come on Jeff, stop being stupid.

I NEED TO START SELLING MY CARDS AND INVESTING IN GRADED CARDS

OMG! I can't believe you opened it. That takes guts

funny how everyone walked away when he started talking at the end

He tears the pack while opening it, and he sticks a non sleeved card into a card saver, smh. Total rookie!

Why not penny sleeve it before the card saver?

You didn’t open the pack. You participated in a break.

If it wasn’t for KZfaq stuff like this wouldn’t happen

Cool to see the Bobby Adams card--he is my friend's grandfather

Pack swapping scammers, not a good look doing what is essentially free advertising for them

When the guy asks for an applause I laughed, everyone has their phones in their hands recording this.

I still have that huge collection in Dallas I haven't had time to go through if ever back in town.

Amazing I love that set! you better put your order In now for the next bowman pack,because their may not be anymore left by next years nationals!! If I had the money and access, I buy as many of those packs graded,as l could find. Their only going to go up in price

You pay a grand for the pack and if it has Mantle or May's you split the profit. Paying 20k for that is insanity

$20,000 for fifteen dollars worth of commons. LOL

Geoff, if you or vintage breaks would have hit the Mantle or Mays, I would have dropped my Samsung phone in amazement.....And I just bought the phone three days ago! Lol!! Great video.

The cards have not seen daylight for 70 years, that in itself is exciting.

why would he not put the cards in a sleeve before he put them in that plastic holder? Seems like he could bend the edges by putting into that tight holder with no sleeve.

Is he jamming raw cards into Card Savers? lol

Dude was awesome in Wedding Crashers.

Geoff is looking at him like " are you really not going to put them in a penny sleeve first"?

Didn’t vintage breaks just scam an 81 Topps pack?

Zero chance there is a non searched pack from this era....

Sacrilegious to open up a pack that old.

Interesting timing with vintage breakers lol

Still dig your shoes you rocked that day, Geoff.

Vintage Breaks are the ones just caught swapping packs. Now they open an antique that should have stayed sealed. Morons and crooks to boot. And these influencers need to be gone.

Could’ve bought 400000 of those packs back in 1952 for 20 grand. Today you get one. 😆😆

Dude felt fortunate and grateful but it wasn’t his money 😂😂😂😂

And it was probly resealed.

BBCE Authenticated this pack before grading at PSA... Didn't hear anyone there questioning if it was legit

Fun experience! Thanks!

That was so exciting!!!

Bro, why did he open that pack like that😂😂 and SCI complimented his steady hand??

So many people who are envious in this world.

People need to realize that any Single Vintage Pack, regardless if it is Authenticated, is most likely a dud pack. Not fake, but a Dud. I will use myself as an example why. About 20 years ago, I opened a 1986 Fleer Basketball Box. I knew on average, there would be 2-4 Jordan's, most likely 3. And I did get 3 Jordans with about 14-15 packs left to go. While the chance of a 4th Jordan exists in the remaining packs, the chance of there NOT being a 4th Jordan is much more overwhelmingly higher. And plus, I have never heard of anyone pulling 4 Jordans from a box before. Thus, I got the remaining 14-15 packs authenticated and sold them off, and because they were authenticated, I got premium prices for them and actually made nearly the price I paid for the entire box! I felt as sure as I possibly could feel that those 15 packs had no Jordans in them. At the time, no other card mattered, so after that 3rd Jordan was pulled, I viewed the those remaining packs were worthless. Anyway, what I am insinuating is that most high dollar packs like this one, are "left over" packs from a box. Hence, if you ever buy a single pack like this, you DO NOT open it, as it's most likely a leftover pack from a box where the high value cards have been pulled already. And this also goes into the "scam" of a piece together box, ie., people can piece together a full 36 pack box with leftover packs. Hence, if you are ever going to buy a high dollar Sealed box, it does not matter if it is Authenticated. What matters is of the Box is Authentcated with the inscription that it is FASC "From a Sealed Case", ie, not pieced together box.

Hello! The last time I've been tormented by one question: what do you do with a bunch of base cards that remain after unpacking different boxes? Nobody needs these basic cards. no one buys or exchanges them

Oh man. Lol haven't you seen the Vintage Breaks scandal with swapping vintage packs? You could have gotten fooled here.

A neighbor of mine was cleaning out her attic above the general store in town and found 2 sealed boxes of 1952. Can’t wait to tell her about them…

did you mail PSA the cracked case so they can update (decrease) the pop report?

He’s not related to Vince Vaughn?

Vintage breaks just swapped packs on a fella. Check out sports card radio.

1:02 it so historic,... Lol

keep the content coming!

Just sold my 52 bowman Mays in psa 5.5

i fully understand you're skeptical, but i believe that a criminal element has found its way into the sports memorabilia industry 😂😂

Fun to watch. I remember that huge find of 50’s wax back in the 80’s. I still have most of the boxes or partial boxes I was able to buy from the dealer back then. No PSA or BBCE back then but with all the issues I have no interest in sending any of it in since not actively selling.

I was 7 years old when these and others were 5 cents per/pack. We chewed the gum and played with the cards . If only i knew then what i know today.

Its utterly incomprehensible that they opened this without gloves on. I just don’t understand

Has anyone touched on vintage breaks being outed for pack swapping on a break while live? Then denying the swap even after video was confirmed?

That was nice of the Vintage Breaks guy to not switch out the pack before he opened it

this hobby is just about imagining and daydreaming - like lottery junkies lmao

Oh, if I only had a time machine? Headed for 1909 for The Flying Dutchman, 1952 for Mantle, then, of course, straight to 1986 Fleer hoops for you know who…hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Not that any of these really warrant grading, but still shouldn't the card have been sleeved before putting the semi-rigid?

Worth 5 cents then and 5 dollars now

Damm! From a $20k value to about $200 bucks. That sucks!

The guy in the back putting so much effort into his video recording 🤣🤣🤣

Wow!!! Love it.

I got 1991 upper deck baseball card box sealed and 2021 Topps complete set for sale.

Great job 👏🏽 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Another great video as always

Geoff thinks Will Grier is Worth 4x than that pack.

My hands would be trembling if I had to open this pack......🤣🤣

Well. To my mind, this video isn't - as most commenters assume - a video about turning $20,000 into $200 into 500,000 KZfaq views. It is simply about people with the means sharing a rare event in the hobby, independent of focusing on the sunk costs. The cards are all in order, on the checklist. This knowledge may or may not be pre-baked. But this video is about sharing the rich history of our hobby. The very reason the video has 500,000 views is people enjoy this type of unusual historical content.

I really wish you'd have preserved that wrapper better

I have a Mantle and Frank Howard rookie card, Matty Alou Bobby Bolin I have a few Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cards as well

It's me or the break put it's fingers big time on the cards????

In a modern day break! awesome.

That's a shame to open such a rare vintage pack and what a shock no great pulls and two cards ruined by wax and gum.

Pocket change for filthy rich dudes. It's just that gambling rush that's addicting

And whyyyyyyy is he putting them directly into cardsavers. I don’t trust this man hahaha

why did he just put the card directly in the card saver like that without sleeving it?

My neighbor has boxes on boxes of those cards from the 50s and 60s his mother never let him open. He still has em. In his 60s. ..
