Dude looks like the coke and uppers are wearing off. Wonder how many women named Elise will be coming forward to claim the gift. Seriously though, he needs to spend some of that 200 million on his health, physical fitness and therapy to move on from thinking someone who he hasn’t seen since she was 7 years old is his soulmate.
Yeah that's a really good point. "I felt empathetic when I found out the second-place bidder was disappointed to lose out on the auction. I knew I didn't want the hockey cards as much as them... So I reached out to a dozen OTHER people to see if they wanted the cards instead"
I don't think he even had them in his possession yet. He had only paid part of it. I read the auction house was keeping it in their vault till it was paid in full. But what I read could be wrong.
If that was my case, I’d rip a box to see how the cut and quality of the cards are. I bought a case of 89 OPC about 15 years ago and the cards were terrible. Blades weren’t sharp, colors were dull, centering terrible but the boxes were near perfect. None of those cards would have pulled a 10, maybe a low 9. I bought them from a guy who several cases, had ripped one and had beautiful cards that scored 10’s. He was selling Sakic PSA 10’s and Gretzky PSA 10’s in the multiples from one case. Decided to go for it and buy a case from him but that didn’t work at all. Not one PSA worthy card after half the boxes so I learned that if the first box is bad, so too will the rest of them be.
The buyer is a clown! Plain and simple. Although Lemieux never responded to me when I approached him about taking my 1990-91 Pro-Set Series One Cards, so I understand how he feels.
No way there is between 25-30 Gretzky rookies in a 16 box case. You get 1 Gretzky rookie per box and that’s not even a guaranteed. 79-80 OPC was a big set and there are no other cards that are even worth searching for. Bro should have done his research before not after. He should try to get his money back due to false advertising.
@5starcollectibles103 I hadn't really crunched the numbers on the claims and the estimate of Gretzky Rookies in a set/box/case. I just assumed the Heritage Auctions rep knew the stats. Thanks for the input!😃💪👍
He never had the funds in the first place. Deadbeat bidder. Obviously the case was opened previously to authenticate each box by BBCE. The part at the end about giving the case as a gift to some girl he met when he was 7 and calls his soul mate is pretty creepy
Someone mentioned in the comments the case has not remained sealed. The boxes were removed from the case and those boxes sealed. The video you showed has someone opening the case and stacking the boxes. So you did not explain this well.
@jeffreyfoltice3099 Oops sorry about that. 😢Yes the case was previously opened and "authenticated" by BBCE. Good catch. 🚩I actually talk about some of the red flags that I see with BBCE opening and then resealing boxes/cases etc in a previous video. There's even another multi-million dollar collectible involved in that video too, 🤑😱so check that video out if you're curious: ruclips.net/video/qx4v063fjO8/видео.html
Don’t think this clown ever fully paid for this so I cannot imagine he was ever given the case to open. He CLEARLY has cold feet, and he couldn’t care less about the passion of the runner up bidder
Heritage Auction house should be verifying any bidders for such an item. If this was offered for sale thru Christie's or Sotheby's the bidders would be lined up and no surprises once the hammer goes down. Something is off with this story. Someone will recognize this guy and fill in the public with more background. I never believed the sellers original story...heard it was in the attic, then heard basement? We will see. These are unprecedented times.
Auction winner looks like he’s loosing sleep and stressed as hell. His uncle may not have left him as much as there was total. Who knows the real reason. Also, a condo worth $500k in 1999 at 6% would be $2.1M now, not insane growth. It’s much more significant if it’s your primary residence and you don’t pay tax on the growth.
The guy look's pretty rough.Def has buyer's remorse. 5 million usd is pretty high and would need atleast 5 gretzky psa 10s to break even. I could b wrong
My uncle just passed away and he gave me all this hockey cards memorabilia there's a lot of Oldies in here and I have no clue I'm not a hockey guy I've just been researching I know I have a couple of good Gretzky's in a lot of Auto cards are those hard to get I have no clue😢
its then the cards not worth much.... these guy thought he would find lots of psa 10 Gretzky rookies... sorry but for the older cards back in the days it was impossible to get a perfect card!!! soo many things how the cards were cut back then, lots of cards of centered and ruffled up cuts...
@stockey I don't think the value drops too much on high-end Gretzky rookies with discovering this case. The high-value stuff is based mostly on quality/scarcity. It's doubtful that PSA 9s and 10s will come from this case. There are actually more than 10,000 Gretzky rookies graded by PSA alone... so there must be many thousands more out there in other slabs and in raw form, so I personally don't think prices will drop much based on this news. But I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks for watching!😀👍
I'm thinking the wining bid was a mistake. I remember hearing stories of people biding on ebay items just to get their name on the buying list to look good. They say it was a battle between 2 people at the end and he won.... I am thinking he wished he was out bid at the last second and as we see now he wasn't. In my opinion .... That box should stay in Canada as it is a Canadian product. You said you wonder if the buyer got the box and opened some and put them back but in the news clip I saw before this video it said he hadn't payed in full yet and the box was still in Texas? Because he hasn't paid in full? I only know you buy watching your pack opening videos and do not know the winning bidder but I don't think you should be telling people what you don't know. I think it looks bad for you. Keep up with your opening videos as I watch almost every one. I wish you best of luck in getting good pulls and always wonder if you ever got that Tim Hortons signed jersey you won last year?
you dont get the item unless full payment is made. That makes no sense you pay a deposit and get the full item I have never seen a buy now pay later high class auction house. This is not buying a sofa on easy installment payments. Also this man is completely unhinged and all over the place. hes trying to sell gretzky to gretzky as if he wants to buy himself... What is going on? He keeps rambling about his estate money he got which is a tmi sidestory, and says true appreciators need this collection so he contacts A-B tier celebrities? As if they are the MAIN collectors in the hobby. Its very simple. You DONT have the money, and cant or wont pay for it. You made a mistake and are seeking to make amends and work with the auction house to find a buyer. Nothing about bringing this public helps his case, he just makes excuses and talks nonsense about the history of his love for the game blahblah and his windfall of free money. "I just dont appreciate it as much" may be one of the WORST copout excuses I have ever heard. This is a grown man saying ehhh changed my mind me no likey anymore. This man literally should be charged or fined for wasting money, time and resources of everyone involved.
Just take the L and sell the case to the guy who came in 2nd. Get some sun, start eating healthy, get a gym membership, and move on. Take the money you get and buy land (and not cards)…
This Card, Jordan, Honus Wagner are forsure crazy cards I get it... But to think of spending that much $5Mill Cad for cards in the late 70's is really crazy... I grew up in the 80's and yess I collected and still do to this day just turned 49 last week and I first started collecting O-Pee Chee Cards back in the days.... I collect all sports to this days.... yeah I had them all from 71-72 opc Guy Lafleur Ken Dryden... etc... To find centered and perfect corners, and def no creases, and ruffled cards as well came out, sometimes cards weren't cut with the blade properely so it would look so butcher, is def hard for these cards back in the days!!! These guy def is not a card collector cause even a card collector wouldnt of jumped on this??? Why??? I bet u who ever opens that case wont even find a psa 10 rookie... The card gets graded which u pay for... To get a psa 10 rookie of the Great One!!! thats fuuukin impossible!!! that family from Sask is sooo lucky!!! Buyer probably thought he would find psa 10 Gretzky!!! lol What I dont like about the older opc cases and boxes... U can open these packs and then reseal them again.... Yeah shady alright... Back in the days shops use to open all the packs and resell them... Now I buy graded cards now so its a lot different and a lot more expensive now a days... I have a few nice stuff put away for my daughter... got a psa 10 rc and auto psa 10 Kobe , Bron, KD, Jordan 3rd year .. Patrick Roy psa 10 rookie, Crosby, Steve Yzerman , Mark Messier, Mario Lemieux 2nd year, MacDavid YG, Matthews YG, Jagr , Stamkos YG auto , Connor Bedard
RISKY! The sellers should open 1 box and open 1 pkg to prove the condition of the cards to buyers. Imagine buying all those just to open them and they are all worthless somehow maybe by the gum inside or discoloration etc etc, too risky for me. Keep in mind in 2024 7 of Gretzkys records were broken including a major record about to be broken which will hugely affect the rookie card value so the winning buyer might have anticipated this and backed out!!! 🏒🏒🏒
@darrenforseille641 I think your idea of opening one of the boxes and a pack makes a lot of sense. Technically, the case was opened by BBCE, so it's not as if it's still an unopened case from OPC in 1979. Though once a box is cracked, that does open up another can of worms.🤔 Though I do think the value of Gretzky stuff will continue to hold its value and won't be affected by his records being broken. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!😀🙏👍🔥

He feels so bad about the under bidder but never states that he reached out to said bidder? Something about this story does not add up.
Yeah that's a really good point.
"I felt empathetic when I found out the second-place bidder was disappointed to lose out on the auction. I knew I didn't want the hockey cards as much as them... So I reached out to a dozen OTHER people to see if they wanted the cards instead"
@@adambanas6365 Hey thanks, yeah mentions everybody but the under bidder he feels so badly for.
It isn't sealed anymore. The auction company cracked it and individually shrink wrapped all the boxes.
Hopefully not full of GI Joe cards. "We all got duped, agreed?" Lol
This has to be done now after the Pokeman fiasco.
I don't think he even had them in his possession yet. He had only paid part of it. I read the auction house was keeping it in their vault till it was paid in full. But what I read could be wrong.

After His 42 beers wearing off he realized he fucked up 😂
Maybe but neither of us, could even accidentally win that auction, per my bank.
???? I don’t understand why the auction didn’t confirm the buyers info. Thanks for sharing.
this dude is the Rob Ford of Hockey cards
Kudos to a guy who cares about hockey knowing the word "empathy." Shocking.

He realized he paid too much😂😂😂 after too many beers...😂😂😂...
Should be a 1 million deposit and you lose it if you don't honor your bid.

That man looks very unwell. Maybe he’s sick..?
$2 million an acre?? Real estate guy reeks of bs
Can I buy a box ? Im in toronto.
@oldskool1979 He's an Ontario Realtor so contact him and see if he's willing to make a deal!😝😱🤑

Make a video of what you inherited and people can tell you in the comments what you've got.
What happens if the cards are cut bad...?
its then the cards not worth much.... these guy thought he would find lots of psa 10 Gretzky rookies... sorry but for the older cards back in the days it was impossible to get a perfect card!!! soo many things how the cards were cut back then, lots of cards of centered and ruffled up cuts...
The more Gretzky cards, the more it will drop the value of the card.
@stockey I don't think the value drops too much on high-end Gretzky rookies with discovering this case. The high-value stuff is based mostly on quality/scarcity. It's doubtful that PSA 9s and 10s will come from this case.

Guy should spend a couple bucks on counseling 👍
The guy didn't get the flip that he wanted. Easy.
Perhaps his initial highest bid was outbid, so he decided to raise the stakes in the auction but inadvertently ended up winning.
Case opened 3:05 to 3:08
If had the money I would love to buy this and pay PSA to grade every single card(even the gum card) haha
It’s not Darryl Cats….Its Darryl Katz (Kate-Z)
No, it's Cats. He's like a horrible Broadway musical, for sure.
G.I Joes.

loser tried to find bail out and all are piece of paper worth nothing unless some one willing to bail out to paid for it
If I was rich I could not resist opening packs
The guy doesn't have the case yet he hasn't paid in full yet
Dude has a major drug problem!

What a tool.
Damn the guy who got the money but not the girl... that sucks 😕 he prolly spends a fortune on ladies of the night
Whenever someone starts speaking in Staccato sentences they are trying to keep their story straight or they are trying to be truthful to the lie.
Just take the L and sell the case to the guy who came in 2nd. Get some sun, start eating healthy, get a gym membership, and move on. Take the money you get and buy land (and not cards)…
So basically this guy is a nut job 😂
I will eat the gum.
2:49 The side of the box pretty much states
"BUBBLE GUM" 🍬
"with some HOCKEY cards"
Wow 😂
I have that card
I'd say he lost bunch of many on stock market lol
