Thanks to Basketball Card Fanatic Magazine, Scottie B Cards, theScore, SlabStox and Fanatics Live who have reported on and mocked up some of these cards over the last few years.
You can trim a card that was graded a 9 with BGS, rub off some ink on the auto which got a 9, submit the card to PSA and it will come back a PSA 10? Good to know. 😂
Not card wise but I know a guy who has something like this in the comics world like a comic thought lost with just 5 prints or something he showed me, was really neat he doesn't even like comics but rich people don't turn down massive opportunities
These cards are in collections and the owners don’t want it known the have them. For damn good reason. I know this for a fact. I have a stupid valuable card and it’s in a safety deposit box.
Many of these are in landfills. After all, there once was a time when kids just opened cards, in search of their favorite players, without the risk of developing pre-pubescent gambling addictions.
I'm honestly under the impression that the triple auto has been pulled by an individual who has a good amount of sealed packs left, and is waiting to sell the last of them before he redeems.
I love videos like this. Showing there’s treasure still out there to be found & potentially striking “gold”. Great video Geoff. Please make more chase missing videos
my card collection - nearly 100,000 at one time - survived two house plumbing disasters. Total fluke that not a single card was wrecked despite the wreckage elsewhere in the house.
These cards have been pulled…. Boxes will go down in value if they surface losing way more value than the cards worth. Just a thought but doesn’t seem unreasonable
If I pulled one of these cards, I would buy all the boxes and sell them as much as I could, knowing that I have the card and that the boxes were only go up in time
Your videos are awesome. I feel like whoever is deciding topics and doing the editing is doing an amazing job. Topics are relevant, production value is high and it’s a diverse set of video formats. Keep up the great work
The fact that PSA not only gets so upset about a card being graded wrong by them that they buy them back from the collector and lock them away is absolutely insane and ridiculous and I have no idea why any person or collector would willingly sell a business your physical possessions.
This sure seems like a commercial hyping up sealed products by a person who has a known stash of sealed products, an attempt to counteract the drop in sealed prices due to CT scanning.
🤔 if your gonna make a 1of1 card at least make it stick out and look rare so it can't be confused or looked at as regular, that Mookie card might be in a binder or even garbage
What about the 2014 Prizm Messi Black 1/1? I thought that card had never been pulled. It would be 10x bigger than some of the cards you included on this list.
What about the Topps Now 1/1 double auto of Curry and Messi card???? Topps now needs to pump the breaks until that card and the basketball triple auto are found in my opinion.
@@300IQPUG I have another card collector. I know that has a bunch of these somebody we knew that was selling a collection sold everything to us that would be awesome if I found it.
@@michaelthurman5879 12 year olds are not opening UD Ultimate Collection, Topps Mercury Wemby, or the Topps Now USA cards without an adult looking over their shoulder. I was 14 when EX-2001 came out, and no way in hell my parents would have bought me a box of those or Metal Universe, so I doubt many 12 year olds opened those. Everything else is newer within the last decade, so the only 1 on this list that I think was maybe opened & lost by a teenager would be the Betts, because that parallel was too much like the base card.
I can't even imagine pulling one of these grails - luckily I don't have a down payment on a house sitting around to blow on a box - guess I'll have to start hitting the yard sales and hoping for some binder magic...
Somebody's mom definetely threw that Steph super in the trash years after they moved away from home. Mom's are one of the all time greatest threats to sports cards a kid ever faced. LOL.
We all remember how hard it was to even find Prizm's Luka RC in a silver. I know this Co.keeps certain top cards. Luka's black is in a mansion in a safe. Homeowner, whoever runs Panini.
That Bedard card will never have that bounty claimed, it will get retracted soon, if it hasn't already. People are buying and stashing boxes and cases instead of opening. They see the prices of 05-06 Series 1 & 2 (Sid and OV) Boxes and think this will do the same in 20 years. Bedard isn't on the level of Sid/OV/McD and none of them have million dollar cards. Those box prices will crash, then it will show up and be worth 20k or something.
More than likely all of these cards have been pulled. It's none of your business what people do with them. No one is under any obligation to report it either. You'll hear about them in about 30 years when someone passes away and leaves the cards to a relative.
why do you live life this way? bitter and grumpy? it’s fun to speculate on some of the most iconic cards and talk about them. cheer up, life is better when you choose to be happy
Told this before but nobody wanted to believe me but the luka 1/1 has been pulled. It was at rocks dugout in wichita ks and some guy with his brother in law pulled it out of 2 boxes they bought. Owner was telling me the story back in the day but they sold it for somewhere around 18k i think then it sold again and never heard anything about it since. This was all in 2019 when it happened and I was told about it then also.
Good topic you guys touch-on here, Geoff! In keeping along lines with this theme, perhaps you might consider...."putting in the leg-work".....and do a video about some...." _BIG CARDS_ ", which might have surfaced for the first time/been pulled [relatively] recently! Of course; I'm not talking about cards from the '24 or even '23 seasons/production year(s), but rather; say....(just as examples)....if a 2014 Kobe Bryant 1 of 1 auto.....or a Mahomes Gold Prizm RC..... or an Ohtani RC auto #/25 ( _or_ ,...even something _OLDER_ or _RARER_ !) Just a thought, friend! 😉👍
My theory on the 1 of 1 Olympic card is that it was stolen from the garbage shipping packages from Topps and the person is trying to figure out if they'll get caught if they redeem it. I only say it because there were multiple reports of tampered mail including my own. My package was obviously opened and the inner plastic case was opened as well. I hope that I'm wrong and someone out there did infact get it and are currently trying to figure it out because it is life changing money after all.
Upper Deck has confirmed both prior to release and after product release, it is not on e-pack. There are lists viewable to the public to see what is on e-pack and what is not.
Well yeah they are missing bc the hobby boxes are expensive. The hobby is getting out of control can’t even have a nice card bc the hobby wants you to spend 5k on a hobby box smh I hope those cards never get found that way maybe one day the card market will drop and collectors will finally be able to collect their favorite players.
Thanks to Basketball Card Fanatic Magazine, Scottie B Cards, theScore, SlabStox and Fanatics Live who have reported on and mocked up some of these cards over the last few years.
Tom Brady personally has that card I bet
Any real collector would have it graded and it would be in system so most likely not
You can trim a card that was graded a 9 with BGS, rub off some ink on the auto which got a 9, submit the card to PSA and it will come back a PSA 10? Good to know. 😂
I think some of these have definitely been pulled, but the collector doesn’t want to show them to the public.
Not card wise but I know a guy who has something like this in the comics world like a comic thought lost with just 5 prints or something he showed me, was really neat he doesn't even like comics but rich people don't turn down massive opportunities
Probably wasn’t a collector that pulled it.
Just put it somewhere or thrown away honestly
doesn't know what they got. Some 12-year-old has it in his binder or something
These cards are in collections and the owners don’t want it known the have them. For damn good reason. I know this for a fact. I have a stupid valuable card and it’s in a safety deposit box.
How many millionaires do you think rip packs? My guess is not many. A middle class person isn’t holding on to a million dollar card.
Many of these are in landfills. After all, there once was a time when kids just opened cards, in search of their favorite players, without the risk of developing pre-pubescent gambling addictions.
Yes total manipulation.
Topps Employee stealing them all
I'm honestly under the impression that the triple auto has been pulled by an individual who has a good amount of sealed packs left, and is waiting to sell the last of them before he redeems.
That is a brilliant assumption lol
Worry not, the CT machines are looking.
I love videos like this. Showing there’s treasure still out there to be found & potentially striking “gold”. Great video Geoff. Please make more chase missing videos
Imagine how many house fires and floods that destroyed some amazing cards and memorabilia.
my card collection - nearly 100,000 at one time - survived two house plumbing disasters. Total fluke that not a single card was wrecked despite the wreckage elsewhere in the house.
You think you would hear about that though! Interesting to think about
These cards have been pulled…. Boxes will go down in value if they surface losing way more value than the cards worth. Just a thought but doesn’t seem unreasonable
Never know!! Look at Giannis there’s rumors he kept a lot of his cards that he was supposed to sign 🤣 Giannis sees own logoman card “I need that”
If I pulled one of these cards, I would buy all the boxes and sell them as much as I could, knowing that I have the card and that the boxes were only go up in time
God wouldn’t approve

Awesome stories, great video, thanks for sharing 👍

🤔 if your gonna make a 1of1 card at least make it stick out and look rare so it can't be confused or looked at as regular, that Mookie card might be in a binder or even garbage
Totally agree. Heck I'm thinking I might even have this ugly grey Mookie somewhere.
What about the 2014 Prizm Messi Black 1/1? I thought that card had never been pulled. It would be 10x bigger than some of the cards you included on this list.
I’m sure the higher ups of companies or ppl who worked the release have them somehow pulled an inside move to acquire them
Your contect lately has been great, this and the trade debate have been the best!
some of these are definitely in landfill somewhere.....thanks mom!
GREAT topic. Kudos. Interesting and attention capturing
I think some of these prior to 2010 and the social media boom are locked away in PC's to preserve the mystery.
Geoff doing his best Robert Stack impersonation on this episode of Unsolved Sportscard Mysteries 🤔🧐🤷🏻♂️
There will never be another Robert Stack.
@@Jetman41 lmao
The Curry refractor card is in a closed down pawn shop. Sold for pennies!
Awesome video idea and execution!
I never even glance at my 4 year olds pokemon cards before he destroys them lol i see how these can "disappear "
Isn’t there a missing Shohei rookie Superfractor from 2018 bowman? The 1/1 SSP carrying bag card.
That’s true, that one is missing as well
Honerable mention to the Evan Longoria Bowman Chrome Rookie Superfractor. While not worth as much today it’s still a chase for some
I have three 2009 Topps Basketball boxes, a box of 1997 Metal Universe BBCE, and a box of 1997 EX-2001. Hit me up Jeff.
Wow! Time to rip!
@@SportsCardInvestor set up a break that’s beneficial to both of us.
@@knuckleskinner3723do you really? That’s nuts
Great list of cards and I know one day someone will find one or two of those cards!
I know the guy who has the Curry rookie superfractor, unfortunately passed away
(Day 69 of spreading misinformation on the internet)
Yeah - I HAVE IT! - and my demise was Greatly Exaggerated!!
Get the CT scanner ready!
Great video. Loved seeing all the cards!!
What about the Topps Now 1/1 double auto of Curry and Messi card???? Topps now needs to pump the breaks until that card and the basketball triple auto are found in my opinion.
Great video! Excellent content!
Great video interesting topic
Great Video Geoff!!
"they could be in sealed packs" laughs in CT scanner
😂🤣😂💯
@@300IQPUG I have another card collector. I know that has a bunch of these somebody we knew that was selling a collection sold everything to us that would be awesome if I found it.
Which is why it won't be long until the Wemby/Lebron dual auto is found.
Half these cards are in the garbage
Would not say any are
@Darren-xj7fg you don't think some 12 year old kid opened these back in the day and they got thrown out when he cleaned his closet?

Those 2023 bowman chrome I have about 70 of them I’m gonna open them all up
Great video concept 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
Keep up with this type of post Jeff. You came across as an expert and insightful and not self serving.,👍
Great show btw. Really enjoyed this one a lot.
I head a rumor a guy in Thunder Bay, ON pulled the Connor bedard 1/1
This was a fun video and maybe could be turned into a running series? Maybe 2-4 episodes a year?
This is really entertaining thank you so much. I really enjoyed watching.
I can't even imagine pulling one of these grails - luckily I don't have a down payment on a house sitting around to blow on a box - guess I'll have to start hitting the yard sales and hoping for some binder magic...
Enjoyed this video. I hope these are sitting in collections and not landfills.
I think some are at the Topps executive offices lol
most likely the other Kobe Green PMG is somewhere in Asia
Somebody's mom definetely threw that Steph super in the trash years after they moved away from home. Mom's are one of the all time greatest threats to sports cards a kid ever faced. LOL.
Loved this episode; reminded me of unsolved mysteries lol!
This was a super good video, do more of these

I wonder how many of those cards are lost thru the mail. I just lost my JSN /5 from UPS.
It's crazy to think someone would take a card like that Soto and trim it themselves, alter it, whatever... ridiculous
Informative
The Evan Longoria Super 1/1 has never surfaced as well.
The 2004-05 Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant Superfractor 1/1 has never been found.
The owner of UD stores 4 cases of all products in multiple storage units for her kids.
Now what if we find one of these.or the green fleer
Oh, I think I put that Michael Jordan card in my son’s bike spokes!😅😅😂😂
They wont say they want people too keep paying big price for boxes
There’s two of these cards I know to be owned, one of which by a super collector that owns a massive construction company in my home town.
Great video 😊
Be driving down the road and see a superfractor on a bicycle, that would be crazy.
Maybe all of these "unopened boxes" are sitting in an unopened box inside of another unopened box
What about the Tom Brady 2012 black Prizm finite 1 of 1 that card is probably a million +
Was in Oklahoma. My lcs did own it
The card has never been seen
I got two of those Jordan cards
That Bedard card will never have that bounty claimed, it will get retracted soon, if it hasn't already. People are buying and stashing boxes and cases instead of opening. They see the prices of 05-06 Series 1 & 2 (Sid and OV) Boxes and think this will do the same in 20 years.
Bedard isn't on the level of Sid/OV/McD and none of them have million dollar cards.
Those box prices will crash, then it will show up and be worth 20k or something.
If the Steph curry superefractor was an on card Autograph it would easily fetch 100 million🔥🔥🔥just imagine that wow🔥🔥🔥
I cant get down with modern cards that are just valuable bc of intentional scarcity
I really liked this video. I hope you can make more like this in the future
Great video - someone on the staff must be a huge fan of Brad Meltzer’s decoded. Definitely get those vibes.
Really cool video.
18 mins of “is Bigfoot real? Did someone see him? Maybe, but we just don’t know”
You can't claim they have never been found. People could have pulled and don't want to announce.

Box owners are definitely scanning their boxes.
They been pulled it's all hype for collectors to keep buying packs and boxes at ridiculous prices...

I think it would be awesome if the same person had all of the missing cards. What an amazing PC that would be!...I would love the Mookie Betts
Damn. I have some nice gems in my set. I own 5 of these cards.
I had a green Kobe I threw it away back in 98😢
Boxes have no more value ever since TC SCANNING started happening 😞😞😞

This was a fun episode
Who said we need to announce it when a card is pulled.
Sorry my mom threw it away in a shoebox… she didn’t anticipate the 2020 boom and breaker take over.
Cool episode
CT scanned and kept in vaults
The dude that has the best collection of packs and boxes probably has the card in his collection
Cool video need more like it
Great lore
no love for 06 bowman chrome longoria super?
I bet some of these are sitting in someone’s bulk card box amongst 5 cent commons.
And the Evan Longoria 2006 Bowman Draft Superfractor is still missing too.
I'm willing to bet that 1/1 Outburst Gold is on Epack
Upper Deck has confirmed both prior to release and after product release, it is not on e-pack. There are lists viewable to the public to see what is on e-pack and what is not.
