    8:55 If I had a nickel for every time I see someone that has a raw card that says “will get a PSA 10” and still ask for the PSA 10 price I would be rich. Nice jacket too, Beverly Hills Polo Club was my favorite a kid in the ‘90s.

      imagine me opening couple packs, and checking the most expensive cards... and saying to myself 'huh this might grade as a psa 10'... guess what happened? :D they all graded as 10s. i know its just luck. I should open packs for the rest of my life. guaranteed hits

    Love the stories as always...The HEAD-SCRATCHER--it all boils down to what someone is willing to pay and/or trade. I think back to my past and I land on 1989. I had a factory set of 1988 Topps--(only significant value now would might be the Tom Glavine) but I remember a friend swapping out the Canseco and McGwire cards for a 1962 Babe Ruth "Babe Hits 60 card" (I would suspect it would grade out as a PSA 2 maybe a 3), but as far as I consider I won the long game and it is one of my favorite cards in my collection...bottom line goes back to as always collect what you enjoy. Have a great week!!!!

    Thank you for continuing to share your stories. RE the Cello pack, i've noticed that these sorts of things seem to no longer exist in 2021. Rack Packs, Cello Packs. Any sort of full pack where you can see any card, top or bottom. Meaning like set release boxes, not special stuff at a walgreens or whatever. I'm glad the card companies wised up to that, and everything is completely sealed now.

She showed me a text from her next sale she's going to do. In the list of things to sell is a collection of "about 15,000 cards in boxes and binders." It's been a while since I've had that many cards in my possession and I was wondering what it would even look like.... and there you had a picture for me. lol I'm not getting my hopes too high, but I'm looking forward to seeing what's in there.

    I'm old enough to remember those cello packs sold like that in 1969 and also 1968. The 1968's were 10 or 12 cards for a dime if I remember right and I think the 1969's were just 5 cards because they were a nickel a pack. I used to steal nickels from my mom to buy cards after school. The person at the garage sale might have owned a store 50 years ago or maybe his dad did.

    Also...old unopened cards have always scared me. I totally understand using caution with a $4000 purchase. People are shady. They used to search packs, now they weigh packs & boxes. I actually go back and forth between feeling sympathy and contempt for the dudes at Walmart breaking out the little scales to find the $10 relic card in a blaster box.

    Such interesting psychology with people(guys, really) and their cards... when I most recently returned to the hobby I exhibited the same mindset: 'Wow! Look at these(PSA 10... what's a PSA 10?... nevermind... ) ... these prices!'.. I was seeing 10s all over the place in my collection from the 1970s... Took me months of getting up to speed on the state of the hobby and grading just to realize what a unicorn a PSA 10 really is... as a favor, I try to disabuse all of the folks I buy from of the notion that PSA 10s(for vintage stuff, which is my area) are a realistic goal... On the other hand, it was pretty exciting in those early days when I thought I was suddenly rich...

    Hi, I enjoy your channel and watch every show. On a previous vid, You said that beckett has the most "lax" grading standards, so I did some research and found that the population reports disagrees with you. For example, 1975 Topps Baseball, for PSA, 1% received a 10, 20% received a 9 and 51% received an 8. Compared to Beckett where only .01% (1 out of 10,000) received a 10, 4% received a 9 and 20% received an 8. And its the same story for years1973 and 1978 Topps baseball. Its PSA that has the "lax" standards, not Beckett.

    That 1981 Topps Lance Parrish is at least a quarter. 40 year old baseball cards of catches with 300+ home runs 1,000+ rbi a world series champion ring multiple gold gloves and multiple all star appearances isn't 5 or 10 cents pal.

    You got 8 gold hologram Jeter RCs?! That's a nice hit. And a gap in my current Jeter PC.
