when I was a kid I found a box of 50s cards at a flea market in 70s , the guy who owned it was a biker that found them in his garage when he bought the house , he wanted 10 bucks for about 500 cards considering i was about 10 i only had 3 bucks so i bought a handful which was about 50 cards , I got a 56 ernie banks, 59 Maris, 59 Frank Robinson, 58 bart Starr, 53 satchel paige , every card was a star but the best was a 59 mantle and a 59 Berra, I wish everyday since I had 7 more dollars for the other 450 cards. that was my best card find
Lou Gehrig played for the New York Yankees from 1925-1939 and played in 2,130 consecutive games. He replaced Wally Pipp at first base and held the job until his retirement in 1939. The picture of Ted Williams with Ted Kluelski from the Cincinnati Reds was taken at the 1950 All Star Game in Chicago's Commisky Park. Warren Spahn won 363 games for the Boston/Milwaukee Braves and won 23 games in 1963 at the age of 42. His card is valuable. The card showing Mantle, Maris, Cash and Kline was taken in Detroit at Briggs Stadium in 1961. Ted Williams was the greatest hitter in baseball history. He batted .406 in 1941 and won two triple crowns in 1942 and 1947. SMF
Steven- thanks for the info! Really love hearing about the history behind these cards, regardless of their condition/value. Hope you enjoyed the video!
WHAT...??? Wasn't he on the Lakers Basketball team ??? - WHO GOT THIER FACTS WRONG, NOW...??? That "letdown", that people started calling the "New Michael Jordan", until his first 3 seasons, & proved, he not even in the same universe...!!! Then Coach Phil Jackson, confirmed it !!!
Not at All - Definitely made by an Amateur, without question"...!!! I guess that the point of not showing ur face, was to not reveal "THE FOOL"...??? (Why else, then...???)
I bought a lot of baseball cards that weren't in the greatest form but to have a piece of history is a nice feel. I got a 61 Clemente for $10. Corners are good but it has a slight crease. I got a 72 Frank Robinson that has a little wear and tear on the corners for $5. I spend a $100 on almost the whole 1976 tops set with a lot of star and hall of fame players. I love a good grade 8 or 9 card but if I can get a sweet deal on players like Mickey mantle, Yogi Berra, Roger Maris, Hank Aaron, Willie May's.etc as a grade 4 or 5, I'll take it. I love to collect baseball cards and will continue to buy them. Nice find. Those are classic cards even if they aren't in the best shape
dude....for $40 I would have looked at my girl and been like "Listen bitch...Go to the ATM and get $40..." I would not of let anyone else touch those cards till she got back.
Ted Kluszewski was a feared home run hitter for about a half dozen seasons (no where near Ted Williams' level though). Although he hit 35, 40, 49 and 47 Homers in a season (Williams' high was 43). Notice his sleeveless jersey, I think he was one of the first to wear 'em like that. Cool find, I'd be happy with that. That Clemente is nice even though of the rounded corners and the creases, hurts the value tons, but I'd still price it in the low/mid double digit range.
Alternative Guide Heh, you mean Kluszewski, no problem ! Eh, I'd still price that Clemente a bit higher, closer to the $100 range, hell i'd buy it for around $75-$80. My cards hold more of a sentimental value to me although I don't mind the "what's it worth" part either. My earliest single Clemente card is from 1969 although i have a League Leaders from '68. Later!
+Luis Donado not purposely. Me and my girlfriend were walking around our neighborhood and just stumbled upon it randomly. I never carry cash so it was lucky that I even had the $10!
I don't generally make videos about baseball, this happening (obviously) was a rare occurrence. Also- I knew who Lou Gehrig was. What are you talking about?
Alternative Guide oh it was more because you were talking about how you thought he played in the 40's. I love your content man, sorry the comment came off as kind of offensive :/ my bad bro
6:26 Ah! I know these guys! Roger Maris - Norm Cash - Mickey Mantle - Al Kaline. Thanks for posting! Nice find. I found a shoebox of old football cards (and Pokemon, and Star Wars) from back in the 80's. Nothing amazing, but I did find some Houston Oilers, and since they don't exist anymore, I got excited. I definitely like finding baseball cards more, but this just blew me out of the water.
This is exactly how i once found a cigar box with 1952 53 54 66 and 67 Topps Bowman cards.Most in mint to good...many were with rubber band creases but for the percentage of 25.00 for the box the cards i found gave me back a sum of 1,000.00.You can find deals without spending thousands of dollars and these are deals.
Simon Worley thanks! They're semi-rigid card sleeves, the brand is Ultra-Pro. I use them mainly for cards that are being sent in for grading, as these are what Beckett prefers
Great video. Oh how I wish you went to an ATM and sprinted back and bought all of them. I would love to see all of the others in that stack. Nonetheless, great score. This rarely happens anymore.
Let's put it this way ... other than the Fox, you'd have to pay at least $10 to buy any of those in that condition. So, you got a steal if you're down to own some really beautiful cards, even if they're really not valuable due to condition. All collectors are different, and I'm at a point where I really don't care about value. I love finding vintage cards to build personal projects out -- and I'm cool to do it on the cheap with some cards that have seen better days. Some vintage cards are gorgeous -- like art, as far as I'm concerned -- even with rounded corners or a crease.
That's a really cool find. Can't believe you didn't get them all. Just FYI, you value expectations are really inflated. Most of those cards are worth more like $30-50. For $2 each that's amazing, but not the $100-150 you are thinking.
Cards can book for $1000, everything is about condition...you'd be lucky if those came back from PSA with anything higher than a 2 on them....$15-$30 on each....
In their condition, Fox is 6 bucks Gehrig is about 12 bucks Williams is about 13 bucks Mantle is about 14 bucks Clemente is about 12 bucks. They might all be worth $100 by 2075.
'Book value' is designed to make you buy those stupid pricing guides for $6.99 every year---all cards are worth what someone else is willing to pay you for them. The $2,800,00.00 Honus Wagner card was worth that much because some guy at the auction was willing to pay that.
Youll see that in my estate find video how I mention the Pete Rose 1965 I got was "worth" about $50 in the condition it was in. Psa 6 or 7 it looked. Even though I don't collect cards for thier worth, I'm always gonna quote what it may SELL for IF I ever had no choice but to sell my beloved finds.
You'll be lucky to get 25% of Beckett value from a baseball card dealer. the Dodgers were robbed as Roberto Clemente was an outfielder for their Montreal AAA club and couldn't hide him from the league.
Are you quoting mint prices because those are deftly not mint, Not trying to hate on you and good job too bad u didn't have the 40 bucks but good thinking on getting what you did
The cards are worth basically no more than 5 bucks each until you get them graded......and by the looks of them (rounded corners) etc.....they are not going to recieve very good grades......you will be lucky to get 100 bucks for all of them.....But hey that's more than 10 bucks.
nice pick-up for $10.00,just never know what people have without asking questions, like other's have said Warren Spahn would have been a great card to pick-up should have asked for 11 cards for $10.00 that included Spahn,better luck next time, if you get any money for those cards, use that to find more cards.
@james browne - No disrespect partner, but you sound an awful lot like the cheap bastards on eBay who ask me to sell my vintage baseball cards, at ridiculously low prices. That to me is just shady & slimy as hell & guaranteed to get the 'screw off' from me, as well. So the moral of the story is, if your not in the collecting game for real, then stay the f**k out. Peace!!!
I'm pretty sure you meant to respond to me (and not James) -after reading between the lines of your semi-illerate rant, I guess you're mad that people lowball you on Ebay, and you're somehow equating my story of buying these cards on the cheap to your plight. There are many differences here, but try and understand that you (an experienced hobbyist) selling cards which you know the value of, is much different than someone at a garage sale selling cards which they DON'T know the value of. I was sold these cards at what she considered to be a fair price. To answer your quip about "not being in the collecting game for real" -I purchase boxes regularly and singles at standard value on Ebay all the time. This was a one-time incident where if I hadn't of bought those cards at the price they were offering, someone else would have.
+Alternative Guide - While I just knew that one of you two cat's would reply to my take, i'm surprised it took so long. That said, both you & I know that you completely fleeced that lady. Not even having the decency to give her even 1/4 of what those cards are worth, money wise. Therein clearly showing the difference between you & I as people & as hobbyist.
Did you even watch the video? I didn't know anything about baseball cards before making the purchase. I just bought the names I recognized. Legitimately wasn't sure what they were worth. Get lost
Pretty cool...several years back I bought over 10 thousand cards for only 45 dollars from a pist off white girl who donated them to a salvation army, it was her boyfriend collection because he cheated on her before there wedding day...her girlfriend didn't help either with her voice in her ear...it had cards from the 50...60...70...80...90 from all sports from...Football...Basketball n Looney Tunes n puzzles from the 1930 to 1950 baseball players that I still haven't found yet on google...Michael Jordon Cards alone was worth big money by themselves...n maybe 24 boxes of 36 pack card each from football to baseball that was still factory sealed from the 80-90 era...whom ever collection this was, it was time consuming n very neat because most card were in protectors n some counted by 5 or more the same cards. I never even knew soccer n hocky card have value...but I'm not a sport person...I collect comic books n I have hundred from the 1960 n up.
@davidmcintire Actually EBay does Dictate Street Value Prices Around 90% of the time...Even back in the day, Beckett’s and Tuff Stuff Prices only applied to Mall shops like “Field Of Dreams” etc...Go to a Card Show and it’s all streetValue and or whatever price the vendor feels like selling it for. As for this video, $10 for the cards this guy got is a fun Score, But they aren’t worth much & Definitely not worth grading. LoL at the people busting this guy’s balls about his clothes 😭😭😭 RUclips comments never let me down 🤣🤣
You can get an accurate value of these cards by seeing what they sell for on eBay. No way would you get $100 to $150 apiece for any of them. $5 to $10 would be more realistic.
I would have said “can u please hold all the cards” as I go get the $40 from either some friends or ur parents. The cards are nice finds but they look about a 4 grade at best. Nice though.
I'm not into collection cards anymore but you should get all of these graded. You should have come back for them all. Damn 40 bucks for a 1500 dallors worth of cards. You should have said I come back with more money. If that was me I flip em for 1000 bucks. One hell of a profit I say
What are you talking about.....booking those cards at ridiculous high prices....there's a lot of these around in PSA 7 or lower condition....the highest I see in your stack may be a PSA6.. ...if you were to get one graded...it would come back I believe a lot lower condition and the price would be so much cheaper....especially if it was graded. But, for $10 you did well. You need to learn a lot more and it takes time but, it'll pay off in the long run if you stay with it.
Some of what I was saying didn't make sense sorry but needless to say I dnt have those any more. And it's been about 30 years and I still think about it from time to time thinking that ther was a chance that may b a honus Wagner could have been in that bunch. It was an amazing find. I could nt. Have been collecting for Mayb. A month. At that time and I just couldn't believe they were so many old card as just laying there..
"Grease spots' were caused by the oils from the bubble gum that were included in the packs which were usually in the rear of the cards as you can see. Great buy , congrats!
They're semi-rigid card sleeves. I don't usually use them, but I was planning on having these cards graded- and they need to be sent in semi-rigid sleeves
OK, here's what most fractionally intelligent Earthlings would do--tell the lady here's $10 to hold the whole stack, we're going to the ATM, be right back. You walked away from possibly thousands of dollars here !!
Alternative Guide ok np I was just wondering. Turns out Ted klusewski is my great uncle. I know that may be hard to believe. I was just wondering but that's an awesome find congrats man
It's quite possible that all of them still exist just two blocks from me.I threw them away in an open field in 1965,which soon had a housing project built on that site.A century from now when the project is demolished,some of the 7,000 or so cards may emerge.
I just checked that American league bombers on Google and that card is going for $40 low end high end $50 so I don't think every card is hundred bucks ok.
only problem i have is please next vid please stop waving the card all over the place i got sea sick --i wanted to go elsewhere just because of you moving the cards in front of the camera---but i stuck around to see your finds! nice finds!!
Great video. I loved it!! Amazing cards at a steal of a deal. But dang dude you had a chance to pick up an old school Warren Spahn!!. Gah that's one of my boys! Love my Braves!. Stellar nonetheless.
In 1990 right at the turn of card collecting I started collecting baseball card and I wondered into a tag is thrift shop on the west side of col oh and finally started to leave .I looked down in the display case and to my amazement I seen baseball cards from the t209 set laying with goudy cards all the way up through 1969 I thought I'd died and went to heaven I only had 26 dollars on me with 100s of cards old cards in front of me in a show case so I ask how much they said pick what you want and I looked only at the 60 through 62 I bought a 60 Mickey mantle a 62 lot brock a y2 Carl yastremski. And a to go Berea 1960 l I later had them graded at a 6 and the Carl was graded a 81/2 so that's what I bought I went back the next day and all were gone
How can you say the lou gehrig books for $100.00 you think it is a fleer company card yet it is a topps product and fleer didn't even exist when those cards were printed so how would you know the price it books for.
Dam if only they made machines where you could request money from a piece of plastic affiliated w a bank account. Then you would have given her 10 and gone to one of those magical inventions and bought them all

seller was a savage. 500/10=50, so 3 dollars should have got you 150 cards
Holy crap!
Lol "some guy named Warren Spann, Warren Spahn, i dont know", thats like a basketball fan saying "some guy named Bill Russell"
You got some good vintage cards to enjoy and display that some kid will buy at your estate sale...

Mike E lmao
Mike E lmao dead on!!!
When you round four corners on a card that makes it worthless these cards are cool finds but not worth a damn
I would of did the same thing,
yah done these cards are 50 years old of course they will have rounded corners they are still valuable
Ted Kluszewski was a feared home run hitter for about a half dozen seasons (no where near Ted Williams' level though). Although he hit 35, 40, 49 and 47 Homers in a season (Williams' high was 43). Notice his sleeveless jersey, I think he was one of the first to wear 'em like that. Cool find, I'd be happy with that. That Clemente is nice even though of the rounded corners and the creases, hurts the value tons, but I'd still price it in the low/mid double digit range.
Thanks Robert! Great info, didn't know that about Ted Williams!

He had altered his shirt (sleeveless) because his arms wouldn't fit in the sleeves. His biceps were huge!
@@addictedtodiecast5170 Yeah, he had natural roid arms.
Warren Spahn's quote about Casey Stengel is a classic:"I knew him BEFORE and AFTER he was a genius."
You went to an estate sale with a $10 bill? hmm
+Luis Donado not purposely. Me and my girlfriend were walking around our neighborhood and just stumbled upon it randomly. I never carry cash so it was lucky that I even had the $10!

I wonder if it was Bob on the Roberto Clemente card because it was shortened to fit it on there. Or did it get americanized?
$150? Not in that condition my friend.

Book value is out the window unless it's in NM-MT condition. All those cards conditions well below that, still at $10 a great deal.
I traded a jose Canseco 86 topps traded for that 61 clemente back in 1987. lol great trade and awesome find!
eriesurfer10 that's a fantastic trade! Wish I was old enough in the 80's to collect cards, so many great sets!
Let's put it this way ... other than the Fox, you'd have to pay at least $10 to buy any of those in that condition.

rhino benito I know I thought he said he was a basketball collector. You get what Ebay books for lol.
That's a really cool find. Can't believe you didn't get them all. Just FYI, you value expectations are really inflated. Most of those cards are worth more like $30-50. For $2 each that's amazing, but not the $100-150 you are thinking.
very cool find! I hope it inspires you to be a collector!

My best find was a 82 Nolan Ryan from a 1 dollar junk bag that I got that was awesome
Screw the haters man, awesome cards man great video

Dude that's super super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cards can book for $1000, everything is about condition...you'd be lucky if those came back from PSA with anything higher than a 2 on them....$15-$30 on each....
How much would my 59 Rodger Maris card be worth it has rounded edges and a corner is missing
Maybe 10 bucks
Wow...I didn’t know KEVIN BACON collected old baseball cards
Also how much did you spend for the 5 cards again? I didn't hear you the first 653 times you said it
Very curious where you came up with these prices LOL
Al kaline is a hall of famer and norm cash is in the hall I think
In their condition,
Fox is 6 bucks
Gehrig is about 12 bucks
Williams is about 13 bucks
Mantle is about 14 bucks
Clemente is about 12 bucks.
They might all be worth $100 by 2075.
Lol ok bud
'Book value' is designed to make you buy those stupid pricing guides for $6.99 every year---all cards are worth what someone else is willing to pay you for them. The $2,800,00.00 Honus Wagner card was worth that much because some guy at the auction was willing to pay that.

Great deal,great cards,man.Always nice to get cards from the '50s & '60s.Even you don't know who the players are.
Reggie Holder totally agree- and thank you!
Cool finds even in rougher condition still worth the ten dollars.

Pretty cool...several years back I bought over 10 thousand cards for only 45 dollars from a pist off white girl who donated them to a salvation army, it was her boyfriend collection because he cheated on her before there wedding day...her girlfriend didn't help either with her voice in her ear...it had cards from the 50...60...70...80...90 from all sports from...Football...Basketball n Looney Tunes n puzzles from the 1930 to 1950 baseball players that I still haven't found yet on google...Michael Jordon Cards alone was worth big money by themselves...n maybe 24 boxes of 36 pack card each from football to baseball that was still factory sealed from the 80-90 era...whom ever collection this was, it was time consuming n very neat because most card were in protectors n some counted by 5 or more the same cards. I never even knew soccer n hocky card have value...but I'm not a sport person...I collect comic books n I have hundred from the 1960 n up.
wayne pope assuming this is all true, what did you do with the cards? Sell them or do you still have them?
Dude, you're killing me. "Book" value is Mint - Near mint....those cards are far from mint. Especially the Clemente. Worth 10-15.00 max.
they're in rough shape -- cool cards, but not worth a ton
EXACTLY....!!!!!!! "WORD" !!
aaron fredenburg Also, you don't get book value on anything you get what ebays book value is lol
No worth around 40
@davidmcintire Actually EBay does Dictate Street Value Prices Around 90% of the time...Even back in the day, Beckett’s and Tuff Stuff Prices only applied to Mall shops like “Field Of Dreams” etc...Go to a Card Show and it’s all streetValue and or whatever price the vendor feels like selling it for. As for this video, $10 for the cards this guy got is a fun Score, But they aren’t worth much & Definitely not worth grading. LoL at the people busting this guy’s balls about his clothes 😭😭😭 RUclips comments never let me down 🤣🤣
Rodger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Al Kaline
You can get an accurate value of these cards by seeing what they sell for on eBay. No way would you get $100 to $150 apiece for any of them. $5 to $10 would be more realistic.
Pretty decent cards , thanks for posting.
I would have said “can u please hold all the cards” as I go get the $40 from either some friends or ur parents. The cards are nice finds but they look about a 4 grade at best. Nice though.
I'm not into collection cards anymore but you should get all of these graded. You should have come back for them all. Damn 40 bucks for a 1500 dallors worth of cards. You should have said I come back with more money. If that was me I flip em for 1000 bucks. One hell of a profit I say
What are you talking about.....booking those cards at ridiculous high prices....there's a lot of these around in PSA 7 or lower condition....the highest I see in your stack may be a PSA6.. ...if you were to get one graded...it would come back I believe a lot lower condition and the price would be so much cheaper....especially if it was graded. But, for $10 you did well. You need to learn a lot more and it takes time but, it'll pay off in the long run if you stay with it.
Rick Hoops thanks Rick!
Probly should of ran to the ATM and got the $40
And takin them all!
Definitely! Wish I did
nice cards, sweet deal.
Nice video mr. Alternative guy
Some of what I was saying didn't make sense sorry but needless to say I dnt have those any more. And it's been about 30 years and I still think about it from time to time thinking that ther was a chance that may b a honus Wagner could have been in that bunch. It was an amazing find. I could nt. Have been collecting for Mayb. A month. At that time and I just couldn't believe they were so many old card as just laying there..
what are those cases called thst you have on the cards
Semi-rigid cases
Ballscratch at 0:51
Why no face? And nice ball scratch
Your mouth was watering when you wrote this comment, wasn't it?
I guess that the point of not showing ur face, was to not reveal "THE FOOL"...??? (Why else, then...???)
This fool responds to everything, obviously wears his feelings on his shoulders
"Grease spots' were caused by the oils from the bubble gum that were included in the packs which were usually in the rear of the cards as you can see. Great buy , congrats!
lol Warren Spahn is/was my second cousin, not a RUclips lie . dropped the ball on that depending on the card
I wish i found them..nice find little bro
ali bey 🙏
Ted Williams hung out with the unabomber? Omg who knew..
I would have told her to hold them And went and got the other $30 there are atms everywhere
hi all great baseball cards super players thank you the best
what are larger sleeves the card are in called
They're semi-rigid card sleeves. I don't usually use them, but I was planning on having these cards graded- and they need to be sent in semi-rigid sleeves
OK, here's what most fractionally intelligent Earthlings would do--tell the lady here's $10 to hold the whole stack, we're going to the ATM, be right back.
You walked away from possibly thousands of dollars here !!
dan mutchler that’s exactly what I would have done. A little common sense goes a long way.
How much would u want for the ted Williams and ted kluzewski card if you still have it
Tomboywonder1221 still have it, not really looking to sell though. It's probably not worth a ton... More sentimental value at this point
Alternative Guide ok np I was just wondering. Turns out Ted klusewski is my great uncle. I know that may be hard to believe. I was just wondering but that's an awesome find congrats man
How much do you want for the Mickey mantle
Message me with an offer
al kaline went from high school to the majors.
And you didn't get a HOF player who happens to have the most wins EVER by a lefty?
I had ALL of those cards.
Tom Dockery what happened to them? Sell them at an estate sale? =)
It's quite possible that all of them still exist just two blocks from me.I threw them away in an open field in 1965,which soon had a housing project built on that site.A century from now when the project is demolished,some of the 7,000 or so cards may emerge.
Congratulations..awesome find is right. Btw I have the same Kluszewski/Williams card.. yours is in alot better condition
Thanks! Great card
I just checked that American league bombers on Google and that card is going for $40 low end high end $50 so I don't think every card is hundred bucks ok.
only problem i have is please next vid please stop waving the card all over the place i got sea sick --i wanted to go elsewhere just because of you moving the cards in front of the camera---but i stuck around to see your finds! nice finds!!
Too bad it wasn't a shoebox full of about 2,000 vintage sports cards!
Grade them for sure
Probably low numbers but it’s easier to sell plus keeps them safe

I wonder how much he spent on these? I must have missed that part. All 48 times.
Is it possible to know less about baseball history than this guy?
TheSoundOutside no
Great video. I loved it!! Amazing cards at a steal of a deal. But dang dude you had a chance to pick up an old school Warren Spahn!!. Gah that's one of my boys! Love my Braves!. Stellar nonetheless.
Hey thanks! And yea, lesson learned. If I ever get the chance -I won't make that mistake twice!
Warren Spahn is in the hall of fame
750 in your eyes and it's Bob Barker.
Nice cards
Cheryl Mauer thanks!
Were you signaling for a curve ball @0:48
Any 1960 Topps left?
Yep!
+Alternative Guide how much?
Not sure- DM with an offer
Nice find!
Thanks bud
In 1990 right at the turn of card collecting I started collecting baseball card and I wondered into a tag is thrift shop on the west side of col oh and finally started to leave .I looked down in the display case and to my amazement I seen baseball cards from the t209 set laying with goudy cards all the way up through 1969 I thought I'd died and went to heaven I only had 26 dollars on me with 100s of cards old cards in front of me in a show case so I ask how much they said pick what you want and I looked only at the 60 through 62 I bought a 60 Mickey mantle a 62 lot brock a y2 Carl yastremski. And a to go Berea 1960 l
I later had them graded at a 6 and the Carl was graded a 81/2 so that's what I bought I went back the next day and all were gone
John Daniels holy shit. Much better find than mine, congrats!
How can you say the lou gehrig books for $100.00 you think it is a fleer company card yet it is a topps product and fleer didn't even exist when those cards were printed so how would you know the price it books for.
Dam if only they made machines where you could request money from a piece of plastic affiliated w a bank account. Then you would have given her 10 and gone to one of those magical inventions and bought them all
This comment 😂
You made out like a bandit despite the condition awesome finds man !!!
Norma Rivera agreed!! Thanks
How were you not able to go round up $30 and come back?
