I'm mostly into baseball,so I stay far away from Panini, especially now that they lost the MLBPA license and now have to stick to prospects and retired players. But I did used to like Diamond Kings because it was a cheapish way to chase legendary relics. And I always like Stars and Stripes because you get some great players first-ever auto cards in that. And although it was near impossible to get close to value back from it, Donruss Baseball was always a fun box to open.
if you ask me, panini is officialy cashgrab and yeah some card designs are pretty good, but the love for their product and the relationship to their customers is way worse than that from companies of the 90´s when i remember the different eventcards you can get in the cheaper products, for meeting your idol, create your own card, becket was the standalone source to get a good overview and mostly prices....miss that times
I was excited for you to include your recent purchase of the PSA 6.5 orange Charlotte O's Ripken. Oh well, I guess I'll hold my breath until next week.
I collected MJs in the 90s, but have never seen most of these MJ inserts. It just shows how rare some of these MJ cards are. What a gorgeous collection!!!
Josh Dawson is the lucky owner of those, I've seen him on a RUclips Jordan channel showing all these. He was just like all of us who collected cards back in the 90s but he was smart and bought all the rare ones. Even the crazy expensive ones you see now we're only bought for a couple hundred bucks back then by him. I think he said almost all of his expensive Jordans were bought over 25 years ago when they were very inexpensive
The crazy thing is if he’s been collecting for a while, 10-15 years ago you could’ve gotten this whole collection for the price of the highest card. Kind of making that up but it’s not far off. Oh to have that time machine
Honestly, best move collecting wise is to go to that day Topps dumped thousands of boxes of 52 Topps in the ocean. Grab a pallet or 20. I'm sure if you showed up and slipped some guy a $20 (make sure to have appropriate currency before time travelling!!!) he would "look the other way" as he laughed about the moron buying junk. But on a personal level, I would go back to tell my younger self to send in cards to that new company, PSA. I definitely used to have cards that were in, to my eye, perfect condition that are worth thousands and even tens of thousands. I also one time grabbed two packs out of a cart full of clearance packs at Wal-Mart. There had to be at least 200 packs in there, and every single one was either 2018 Topps Series 2 or 2018 Topps Update. I would like to fix that if I could.
Very cool idea for a High Rollers video. MJ was the obvious choice to do this type of video but I would also like to see similar videos for Kobe, Lebron, Tom Brady, and whatever baseball players that would make interesting videos lime Mickey Mantle, and Mike Trout Idk how possible that would be though without people with amazing collections reaching out
Absolutely wild to carry a collection like this around with him at a show!! I guess if you're a big time dealer you get used to carrying millions around with you from one show to the next, but I'd imagine just this case is worth more than the majority of dealer booths at any given show.
Jesus the amount of hate on these cards and video is wild. Imagine saying in 1935 “Don’t get why Honus Wagner cards are so expensive because there is a limit print run and it’s not even his rookie” The 90s were the last and only time card companies were doing anything new and innovative unlike today’s money grabs. Also some of those inserts are likely true 1/1s vs how many fleer rookies? Amazing video, more of these would be great if you run into the opportunity to do more!
That’s one of the craziest collections I’ve ever seen. Although for some reason I was a little disappointed that he didn’t have a Star XRC in the collection. Hahaha Love the idea for this video.
If I could have 3 out of that collection, I'd take the Gem 10 RC, the 2007 UD Exclusives Patch/Auto, and the Flair Hot Shots die-cut. Wouldn't mind owning the Dunk 'n' Go Nuts or the Big Cat on Court either. Amazing collection. I had to remind myself this wasn't a normal High Rollers, but one guy's collection.
I kick myself when I see these types of collections. I was around in 1997. I could have bought cards like this. But instead, I was collecting Kerry Wood and Jose Cruz Jr.
Hey card daddy. Have you ever thought of doing a highest non-sports card list? Excluding Pokémon - MTG - ETC. that would be a good watch. Looking forward to your next dealer story 👍
This is a really fun video and maybe, if a Brady or LeBron or Mahomes (etc) wanted to share their collections with you, you could do a similar video again! One comment about the cards themselves (or I guess the slabs)...almost all (if not all) of these slabs had scuffing on the front from those TERRIBLE perfect fit PSA sleeves. PSA and card collectors need to stop using these. They leave weird scuffs on slabs. I know we are buying the card and not the slab but when you have a 200K card and you pay a premium to get it graded, few things are as annoying as PSA scuffing up the case.
Speculating sale prices today versus comps from two or three years ago has me scratching my head. Given how inflated everything was back then, I think it would be super interesting to see a comparison. Like a BSG 8.5 sale in 2021 would probably out-sell a PSA 9 (or 10) now, 😂
I’m assuming he was walking around with a security guard? Were there more private security guards at the National this year? I don’t think any YT channels covered this. At least the ones I watch
90's Jordan inserts being so expensive. I don't really understand. I get some of the 80's stuff (sorta) commanding the price of a house, but this other stuff?
@@willkramer5787 the idea that Skybox in 1998 could print up anything that's held those prices is... well I don't get it. I understand your point, my logical brain just can't though.
Its a small market made up of a few insanely rich people. So rich that 50k doesn't impact them in any way. You could look through the lists of billionaires and probably make some good guesses as to who might be collecting. Mark Cuban?
Glad the scoring kings from fleer, and silky smooth & golden touches from skybox didn't show up here, would have hurt. Sold them raw 30 years ago as a kid when the products were new. And I wasnt a Jordan fan
Yes it is an insane collection… and it is #2… I wasn’t bashing his collection I was simply pointing out that it’s missing 1 of the key cards in high grade.
With a minor league game used signed bat, a few minor league cards signed and at least half a dozen baseballs signed by him (and others on the team) I perhaps have the greatest Hector Vargas collection in the world. He may have never made it in baseball, but he was a good guy, at least in the eyes of a young kid going to Albany-Colonie Yankee games.
I really don't get why this guy would walk around a convention with these cards... he's obviously not trying to sell them, so what's the purpose? Seems like it's just for the clout, but I'd be worried about everyone knowing who the guy with a million dollars worth of Jordan cards is...
Love MJ, don’t get the value of these cards. I sort of get his 86 fleer rookie card, and his true rookie card 101 star card, which I didn’t see. The rest of these cards are nothing but nice looking cardboard to me.
@@jakepeters1404 thanx captain obvious, the problem as I see it is all different card companies coming with more and more weird ideas for cards , the production maybe low but cards made 10-12 years after his rookie year have value? Why not start up the printing presses now and limit production but in different colors? Second every card from that era was probably put in a protective sleeve as soon as opened, are there any ones or two graded cards out there, I doubt it. Sorry I am vintage and just don’t get it and never will see the value.
@@bobwhite4671 your vintage is valuable for the same reason these cards are valuable. there are a handful that exist in perfect condition or exist at all
Not sure if you’re joking…he showed 30 cards from his 6500 total graded Jordan card collection. I don’t know how you could assume this isn’t even close lol.
Not super interested in these "flex" collection videos. Chris, you've done this once before. There are always going to be someone richer to put these together. Find the collector who put these together in the 90s that would be impressive and include the collector "story" too. Thanks for great videos (except the "flex" ones).
How presumptuous, first he stated at the beginning he started 30 years ago so 1994. He also did buy most of the inserts for 100s of dollars back then. Literally hating on a video you “want” to see.
@Ohrliiiii Chris' appeal to most of us is the storytelling. I just find the videos without a story to be less compelling and providing that feedback to the publisher (Chris) is an important part of YT community. You can love it and tell Chris. We don't need to agree. Thanks for commenting!
I thought that whole "multi billionaire" from shoes made by kids in poor parts of the world might have been a hint. It wasn't. No one cares about this stuff, it's "judgy", ya know.
Every time you get to see beautiful and interesting card designs from over the years you realize how god awful the Panini monopoly is.
I'm mostly into baseball,so I stay far away from Panini, especially now that they lost the MLBPA license and now have to stick to prospects and retired players.

Lol it makes you wonder which cards from ultra modern will hold their value 20-30 years from now
Right 😂

Very cool collection of Jordan cards.🎉😮 Thanks for the great video.👍❤️🔥🤘
Strange to me that someone would pay anything close to these prices. I guess we collect what we like and can afford. Whatever makes one happy.
Well, I’m ready for NE Sportscards Jordan High Roller collection 2.0 please.
That’s one of the craziest collections I’ve ever seen. Although for some reason I was a little disappointed that he didn’t have a Star XRC in the collection. Hahaha
Love the idea for this video.
This was a nice idea for a High Rollers episode. Thanks for doing it and sharing with us. Fantastic cards!
Wow. Crazy collection. Would love to see this type of video for other guys as well.

i look forward to all your videos Chris, this one was a banger as usual... thanks for doing stuff like this!
Simply incredible!

Wow! Amazing! quality and quantity!
I am happy that he enjoys, showing his collection to others not locked in a safe. But man! security guard?
Just when I think I must have seen ALL the Jordan cards by now...lol...
I wonder when these “rare Jordan inserts and parallels” will come down in price. Some of these prices don’t make sense.
Kind of takes your breathe away, doesn't it? Wow, where were these cards when I was opening packs?
Awesome video, crazy cards. Great video.
Hey card daddy. Have you ever thought of doing a highest non-sports card list? Excluding Pokémon - MTG - ETC. that would be a good watch. Looking forward to your next dealer story 👍

I have a Michael Jordan rookie card I want graded. Should I spend the extra $ to have PSA grade it? What do you recommend?
8:18 Kobe Bryant?
8:15 i assume that the member of the research department that told you this was a kobe bryant card has been fired by now.
Wow never seen these before graded so high
I know a collector of Jordan's in Tampa that has over 5 k cards. He told me that their are some guys that have 3 or 4 times more than his collection.
2:08 - efffff that name change
Speculating sale prices today versus comps from two or three years ago has me scratching my head. Given how inflated everything was back then, I think it would be super interesting to see a comparison. Like a BSG 8.5 sale in 2021 would probably out-sell a PSA 9 (or 10) now, 😂
doubtful. many collectors still waiting for many of these to become available. this isn't the zion silver prizm craze.
@@awbobsagetable yea, I hear you. But I don’t think the sales spikes in early 2021 were contained only to Zions. It definitely hit the Goats, too.
This guy was just walking around a hotel lobby with these cards on him??

5 of the cards were Sam Vincent

@@colinburroughs9871 I agree, the hobby isn't logical.
There are enough ultra rich Jordan collectors to drive the price up on the really rare cards.
Imagine the owner of these cards at a Trade Night.
Seriously, who is buyng the prices for these cards and what are the doing with them? We need an interview of some of these buyers.
Its a small market made up of a few insanely rich people. So rich that 50k doesn't impact them in any way. You could look through the lists of billionaires and probably make some good guesses as to who might be collecting. Mark Cuban?
@@gabriels1163 ok, but who are they? Who is one person? I get it’s a small market. But who is it?
investment vehicles buying them and selling fractional shares
It sounds like he had a million bucks in cards.
what was the top 5 cards out of grail collection? Chris
Skybox was incredibly innovative in the 1990s. No surprise why they fetch big money and having Jordan helps. 😂
Some people have all the luck with opening packs
4:42 try saying that 20 times or having a collection like this to even try to 😮
Nice
I'm jealous 😂
Glad the scoring kings from fleer, and silky smooth & golden touches from skybox didn't show up here, would have hurt. Sold them raw 30 years ago as a kid when the products were new. And I wasnt a Jordan fan
My brother has all those cards how can we sell it
Fact THAT HE DIDNTBSELL THES3 CARDS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE MARKET IS MIND BLOWING
If he has all of these cards I don’t think money is a problem. He may actually be a collector…
fact that you think the height of the market is behind us is mind blowing
Not a fan of those vanilla PSA labels. BGS all the way. Nice MJ cards tho!
Does he carry them round with him?
wow
any parking lot brawls @ cleveland? you and the snow man settle some scores ?
What is “BVG?” It’s “BGS” right?
BVG is what BGS goes by on cards pre-1981. Stands for Beckett Vintage Grading.
Wow, I could retire on those 31 cards, alone. And he would still have over 5,700
4 weeks since a new Regular Rollers! WTF?
😅 quite the collection. Can’t believe that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
….mangini NEVER mentions price or value. Gotta love that
So, what prevents a company from printing only five and keeping four to sell on the market--artifically created scarcity?
If word got out to the public it would justifiably crush their business.
Being honest, most of those die cuts look cartoonish.
Maybe I missed something but not sure how you can have the best MJ collection without at least 1 of his Star rookies in high grade
Yeah you definitely missed something
And please tell me what that would be?
@@andrewreid895 dude is like #2 on the psa set registry for MJ or maybe #1. He cant have every MJ at the highest grade but he has an insane collection

I will never understand caring about cards of a player produced after their career is over.
Eh, I prefer regular rollers over high rollers
I see people saying this a lot but I disagree. I wanna see them super expensive cards
Regular rollers is boreing
Who cares? But thanks for the unnecessary negativity.
Maybe it’s just me
