First guy was an absolute G. The 87 Fleer Hottest stars he was trying to sell you has a Bond's rookie. It a top 3 favorite card of all time for me. Not worth $25 though maybe $10-15. Super 80's looking set.
You taught me something new today with those MVP buy back programs! I don't collect sports cards very heavily, but that's still a great tip to look out for! Enjoy the week my man & much ❤
More than a decade ago, I was in Jacksonville, Florida going through a local sports cards shop's "$5 Each or 5 for $20 box and I grabbed a Stephen Curry Rookie Jersey Patch card and a Tony Parker Gold Card, numbered out of 99. When i got home, I sleeved and top loaded each card, placed them in a three row shoe box and forgot about them for years. In 2019, I was bored and decided to go through my all my cards and I found them both and a few months ago i sold the Curry raw for $350, plus store credit for trade. I still have the Tony Parker and it's selling as high as $185 as a PSA 10. I said all that to say, this hobby keeps you so busy, that weeks, months and years can go by and you never know and/or forget the "bangers" you had sitting in your closet, garage, basement, attic or storage unit.
I just watched the video a while back, when you open the box of Bowman chrome cards and got the 1/1 Ashton Jeanty signed. What did you end up doing with that card, and how much was it worth? That was crazy
I ended up sending that card to Goldin Auction house. They sent it off to PSA for grading. I’m just waiting to hear back from them on the grade. It then goes to auction after that
I bought a Bobby Witt Jr. blue rookie refractor for $1.00, submitted it via a group submitter in Jacksonville and it came back a PSA 10, at least two just sold for more than $100.00. I am going to hold on to it, until just before the season starts and hopefully flip it fr $150.00 or more.
Back in the 70's and 80's it was nothing to go to a flea market on a Saturday morning and find multiple tables of people selling sports cards, Matchbox cars and Hot Wheels. We were sincere and authentic, but naive and inexperience to a fault, meaning we literally played with whatever we purchased or our parents reluctantly purchased, not realizing how valuable those items were going to be years down the road, had we properly protected those items.
My dad tells me stories of sticking their cards on his bicycle spokes. I can only imagine how many Mickey Mantle cards were lost to this over the years.
I was born and raised in Tallahassee, spent my Summers in Miami and Tampa, as a punk kid, went to Panama City Beach and Daytona Beach, during Spring Break, as a college student. I was stationed in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida and then I lived in Orlando for 12 years, before moving back home to Tallahassee in 2013. I said all that to say this, flea markets, here in Florida are the best and I've been all over the country. I miss that feeling you got as a kid, when you went to the flea market every weekend. Even, today I greatly enjoy hitting flea markets and I will drive to Pensacola, Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Orlando when they had that huge flea market in Casselberry. I am in Tampa occasionally, where is this flea market you visited?
I hate flying and I fly as little as possible for my career and a lot of times, I would drive, instead. I learned a few decades ago to stay off of the interstate(unless you are in a hurry) and instead, drive the highways, as the highways and side roads go through small towns that don't get a ton of travelers and I have come across some small flea markets with far better deals than huge flea markets. Plus, I love hitting as many antique shops as possible, especially those that rent out booths to people, as I have found some MONSTER hits.
another great video. I love the card hunt. I am binging big time on all your videos tonite. I watch your other channel, but just realized you have this channel as well. Just wondered, aside from sports cards, what other type of cards do you look for, like old tv shows, or movies? thx
Love the videos! Out of curiosity, what camera do you use for these vids? I've been looking into possibly getting one for when I visit shows/shops. I'm in North Central FL so maybe we'll cross paths one day!
I haven’t found one that is a must go to for me yet. There is one in south Tampa that I heard was decent but I haven’t been to yet. KK sports cards in largo is ok. They had a bunch of wax. They had a small bargain box room but not many singles/slab on display. Unfortunately my favorite shops in Florida aren’t close by me. There are a ton of card shows where I’m at though. I go to those more than shops at the moment.
There's absolutely zero value in player worn or "not from any specific game or event" swatches!!! RPAs people are paying a small fortune for have some random color matched walmart jersey piece embedded in a card and go CRAZY over them...and they have absolutely ZERO uniqueness or rarity at the end of the day.
@@PickingandPunchingCardsit looks like Webster to me. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there so not 100% sure. I used to live in Spring Hill, FL when I was a kid.
There is a lot of trash out there but there are still some junk wax era cards that do well for us. Bo Jackson and Ken Griffey Jr. always seem to sell well for us.
I don’t understand the patches that are not game used. I picture Panini reps pulling any jersey they find inside a Goodwill and then panini cutting them up and putting them in the card. Gross and lame

That guy is a national treasure, lol
Not even worth 10 lol
@@PIP-zf9yb not what collecting is about hardoo, and that set is worth more than $10.
@edelmantoamendola your ignorant fair enough
Great advice on the buyback. You are a good one. Appreciate what guys like you do for the hobby.
Thank you! I try to give tips and tricks when I can.
Awesome grab on the buybacks! Right after those was a Nelson Rada 1st Bowman Color hes a stud
I got two Nelson Rada in that lot.
You taught me something new today with those MVP buy back programs! I don't collect sports cards very heavily, but that's still a great tip to look out for! Enjoy the week my man & much ❤
Just remember it ends at the end of Jan. Its only a 6 week window to case those cards in.

This happens a lot more than people think. It’s crazy when you stop to think about it how many boxes like yours that are still forgotten.
Most people cleaned out their bangers during Covid……cards used to be cheap…….before Covid……….
s/o from Poland! I love your videos!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
great job on that lot for $30 you gonna $40 for the judges and then the radas are clutch too!
Thanks man!

Nice pickup for $1!
Those 89 pro sets at the beginning average around $50 for series 1 and $60 + for series 2 per box on ebay.
It was a great deal.
When he said, "Half of $16.00 is $9.00, I nearly spit out my food laughing out loud!
He was great, lol.

Great vlogs man love seeing the type of value you end up finding at these places
It’s a grind but also a labor of love.
the goat of the flea markets strikes again!!!!!!!....where is this flea market?
lol, far from that. This flea market is in Florida.
@@PickingandPunchingCards you are the flea market goat!!!!!!......whats the name of this flea market?

I agree with you. The path less traveled is amazing for picking.
Enjoyed the video!
Thank you!
How do you find these flea markets with sports cards
I go to multiple flea markets, garage sales, etc every week. It’s a numerous game. What you don’t see is the hours of not finding stuff.

I’m a huge fan of movies, tv shows, comic, wrestling, and video game cards. The more ridiculous or off the wall the better.
You're Awesome Rod!
Thanks man! I appreciate you.
Great stuff man, I actually had no idea about that buyback program somehow - great tip Rod
It’s only for Topps Chrome and expires at the end of Jan.
I am your biggest fan I love your video keep it up
Mayson, thanks for the support!
Im the same way i look for game used relics. I dont like the other relics that say this isnt game worm or other stuff like that
Love it! They need to get rid of “event worn garbage”
Player worn doesn't necessarily mean worn by the player pictured on front
👍
What About that Wrestling Superstars Board Game... ??? I would've snagged that for the Low Low OR on the Cheap If it was ?
He wanted $50 for it. If I didn’t already have a copy, I would have bought it.
@PickingandPunchingCards yeah you had me comping em out and watching a couple of em now on Feebay
Love the videos! Out of curiosity, what camera do you use for these vids? I've been looking into possibly getting one for when I visit shows/shops. I'm in North Central FL so maybe we'll cross paths one day!
@@bigc7_cards I use a GoPro 12. Thanks for watching. Looking forward to seeing you at a future show.
He learned his lesson from not buying thst brady rookie 😂
☝🏻This 😂😂😂
Interesting!
Thanks man!
Game used all the way!!!!!
There is no other answer! Love it.
Where can I find him
Who are you referring to?
The dude with the cards.
who's selling them?
Never heard of the topps buyback
Topps started it a couple years back. It’s a cool program. I love the idea. You only have 6 weeks to turn those cards in though.
Love this! ⚾️⭐️🔥
Thanks!
4 1/2 isn’t bad for a ‘58 Mantle. You should have tried to talk him down to 4………4 bucks for a ‘58 Mantle seems like a pretty good deal……
He didn’t have the Mantle cards with him. He said he left them at home.
What’s a good card shop in Tampa ?
I haven’t found one that is a must go to for me yet. There is one in south Tampa that I heard was decent but I haven’t been to yet. KK sports cards in largo is ok. They had a bunch of wax.

Where these at down south
@@CarterDadsSportsCards we live in Florida. This was a flea market north of Tampa.

lol. never seen where vendors can drink at a flea market
Welcome to Florida. Its the wild west. They have a beer station setup where you can go and buy beer.
@@PickingandPunchingCards haha damn. Lets Go!
man i need to come to florida lol
Yes you do, lol
Next Stack was a Tre Morgan prospect for Tampa Bay, buy him!
I need help with baseball prospects! Its my weakest category.
@ that’s what friends are for lol
I do wrestling promotions for my kids also small world. I fly em in all the time do meet n greets etc
That’s awesome. I bet the kids love it so much.
same belief in the game used stuff. #bringbackgameused
Bring it back!
I have close to 800 Game Used cards. If it doesn't say Game Used, it won't be in my collection.
Love it!
Swing by and pick me up the next time you go and I will buy lunch.
@@EarthtonesCymbals steak, lobster, and escargot sounds great 😂
picking and unpunching haha
Haha! I was a pro wrestler for several years. That’s where the picking part comes from.
@ nice!
Game worn for the win. Event worn or photo shoot just diminishes it. 🇨🇦
100%
Remember 1988 Baseball up to 1990 is all trash

I picture the same thing.
First guy was such a funny guy but the main thing is as the day goes on eventually, he’s going to have to drive home. That’s not funny.
He is funny! I didn’t even think about that. Hopefully he had someone there with him.
Not sure how i feel about this guy....he has a face you cant trust (especially when he sneers)
He has a face that you want to punch but I heard he is a good guy. You should give him a chance.
