  • My brother and I headed to the Uniontown mall to check out a new card store that opened about a month ago. They had a lot a great cards but I feel like the owner stole the show. If you like sports cards and stories, check this place out. Victor is a cool dude and you won’t believe the great deal that he gave me.

    The owner was very interesting and it sucks that the new cards of players most will not remember in 20 years are more valuable then a "Henderson " rookie card who i still consider the best leadoff hitter of all time.

      Trevor Williams that because topps made a million Rickey's and the newer stuff is less produced and serial numbered...80's,90's and early to mid 2000's are so over produced, that is what caused the prices to dive!

      I agree! If the fans of newly printed cards invoke the “today’s cards are numbered” line, just look closely at eBay. They print, and reprint cards like crazy, just as they did in the junk era. Today, they’ll print a “limited run” of cards numbered to 10/20/50, and then print that same exact card numbered to 100/250/500... it’s a gimmick. So collect what you like! For me that’s 50’s-the late 80’s.

  • @MessOfThings
    @MessOfThings 5 лет назад +30

    Wow, that guy is a character. I think he was excited to have guests in the store who actually know their way around a stack of cards. I like that he seems to realize that some people need their space and said to let him know if he was bugging you.

  • @iawx80
    @iawx80 5 лет назад +31

    That is how a card shop owner should be. Straight to the point, tells you like it is, doesn't jack prices for off-conditioned cards, funny, and last of all, not trying to get anyone to buy cards you may not want (like some of the places you and Jon have been to in the past).

  • @patrickbowers1189

  • @pcdude2394
    @pcdude2394 5 лет назад +17

    I remember when Nolan Ryan made Rickey Henderson his 5000th strikeout victim. The best leadoff hitter of all time vs the strikeout king.

  • @benjaminbogosian8093

    Victor and his shop need his very own RUclips channel. I could listen to him all day. Wut a cool guy. Wut a great shop. I wish him all the success in the world. He’s a proud collector who sells and just tells it how it is. Rare dude.

  • @JStried35

  • @bigsteve7711
    @bigsteve7711 5 лет назад +2

    Looks like a great shop and an owner with a wealth of knowledge. I grew up in Altoona and went to Juniata Cards as a kid (Now 38) and Steve Springman from there was the best owner I have ever come across. His prices were always fair and at times are cheaper than the giant wholesalers. Has an lcs owner ever discussed with you the cost to open a shop? I’ve been thinking a lot lately that my town, DuBois, PA could use a shop again with the resurgence in the card market.

    • @JabsFamily
      @JabsFamily  5 лет назад

    I just subscribed based on this one episode. I love how you followed a subscribers tip and found gold then let the owner talk his way thru with u guys. Then you got some great steals on awesome cards. It’s a win win win for all. Then u went over the cards at the end and gave shout outs to the shop owner and others. Looking forward to more content like this!! This is exactly wut I need in my little card collecting world. I recommend this channel.

    I 'm was a big Thurman Munson fan since the early '70s. Watch a lot of the games on TV in the late '70s. Was sad to hear of his death the day after my 21 birthday. He very likely would made HOF if he had lived.

    You and your brother got amazing deals on the cards bought from that guy. He really seemed enthusiastic and passionate about the hobby plus very personable and knowledgeable. He has a massive inventory including when he showed you the backroom and bathroom full of boxes and totes. I'd keep going back to give him business if I lived close to that mall.

    I really enjoy stores where you can go in and have a great discussion with the owner. I used to spend hours helping my local store owner open wax boxes and sort cards back in the early 90's. I never thought I would get back into it and I owe it all to you and your channel. I was shocked when you opened that Trout 1/1 for me. I am so back into card collecting. When I feel better I will send you some nice old stuff. Thanks again. You and Jon certainly have brought the past alive.

  • @andrewminelli5744
    @andrewminelli5744 5 лет назад +1

    Owner is 100% right. Cards now value more of the 1/1 or /99 and/or the Variation color vs the greatness of the Player. Even the RC pre Junk Era of HOF players in the 70's are not worth what a Gold /1999 Ohtani was last year. It has become a chase for rarity or scarcity instead of a chase for greatness when collecting cards.

    New subscriber here, I saw the thumbnail on the side and had to click because I only have 1 card shop in the area but thank goodness it's one of the largest around in Dave and Adams. This guy had some very reasonable prices and I'll definitely be checking out that website, he had some very cool stuff, being a Steeler fan my eyes lit up like it was Christmas. I totally agree with him on the prices of the new cards though, I just bought a PSA 10 2004 score Ben Roethlisberger for $24.00 shipped, I went to purchase a PSA 10 Mason Rudolph non auto and it was $35.00, the dude hasn't even played a down yet, I don't understand it at all. Anyways thanks for the video I love walking into card shops and checking stuff out and I look forward to watching other videos of yours.

    Hi, enjoy your videos. That owner is right to make money speculating in this case on cards one needs to understand how markets work and study the market that you want to speculate in. In theory markets are driven by rational self interest. In practice markets are driven by the emotions of the market participants. Any way keep you and your bro keep making that great content. Ps throwback Thursdays is my fave
