A collector opens unopened basketball card packs from the late 1980s and early 1990s his father bought at a store sale. The first pack contains a Michael Jordan card. He has about 10,000 unopened cards total and plans to open them in a series, hoping viewers help identify valuable finds.
What's up guys, I'm gonna try not to do too many takes on this commentary. Usually it takes me multiple times when I do it, but I'm kinda short on time, so hopefully I can do a one-take, uh, go. So pretty much I was in my closet the other day and, uh, there's just a huge box that's always been in the bottom of it, and I just opened it up and there was a bunch of old basketball cards in it. So I called up my dad, I was like, "What are all these?" and he told me about how a store was having a huge sale, so he just bought a ton of cards back in the early 1990s, late 1980s. So, uh, right here's me just showcasing all the packs. What I'm actually going to do is a series of me opening all, all these packs, and I think it'll be pretty cool. But there's literally hundreds of packs and like 10,000 unopened cards. Not all of them are basketball. Basketball is pretty much what I'm interested in, but, uh, that sounded weird. Interested in— I had like a pause. But I'm pretty much interested in the basketball cards, but there's also a ton of football cards over there too. Which I'll probably just leave in the boxes and try to sell in a couple decades or something because they are kind of old. And these are just the cards I picked out. I haven't really spent too much time sorting through them because there's already like thousands of cards that have been opened, and then there's like 10,000 cards that aren't opened. I did a little math, but a lot of them are football. So pretty much, like I said, I was just gonna do a series of me opening these old 1990 card packs, or late 1980 cards.. And, uh, so this is the first pack. My brother just cut it open, pulled out the cards. We haven't seen any of them before, and, uh, lo and behold, the first pack we opened, we got a Michael Jordan, as if we didn't already have enough. Right there, as you can see, Michael Jordan. I thought that was pretty cool, first pack. And, uh, I don't really know much about basketball. I probably should do a little history so I know what cards we get are good and what cards are bad. But, uh, if you know any of these guys, There you go. And if you have any idea on how I can improve these videos for future episodes, let me know, because there will be a decent amount of these episodes. Pretty much like I said, I was just going through my closet, saw them, and my dad said he didn't care if we opened them. And I don't think the packs themselves will be worth that much. And I'm leaving the football cards in the packs, so if the cards are worth more than the packs, all the hundreds of packs of football cards we're not going to open because we honestly don't care too much about football, but me and my— this is my brother doing it, I'm recording. We're gonna open up all the basketball cards just because, I mean, I've really started to get into basketball and I think it'd be pretty cool to have like a book and just put all the best cards in it, like the MJs, Larry Birds, anyone else. I'd have to do some research to see if there's any other cool ones. But, uh, yeah, that was pack number 2. This is pack number 3. 3, yeah, I don't know, I'm not doing good in Spanish right now. That's pretty bad, I should know that. I don't know if Trace is 13 or 3. No, Tracee is 13, so Trace is 3. But anyways, here's the third pack. As you'll be able to see, I'm not quite sure what we got. It's been a while since we recorded this. It was like an hour ago, and I had like really bad problems trying to get the videos from my phone to my computer. I got really frustrated, so I just gave up. But yeah, I don't know any of these names. Maybe you can understand some of the names. Oh, I'm hoping like some collector dude or something will watch these videos and be like, oh, at 325 there's a super rare card that sells for $100 or something like that, IDK. But this is the 4th pack, we only did 4, and then at the end we went through and— wow, stutter— at the end we took the best cards out of the 4 packs we opened and just put them in a line so you can see what we got. And I plan on doing kind of like a mini series because there, as you saw before, are a ton of basketball card packs. And we plan on opening them all, and I'll try to record it all so you guys can see. These cards are pretty old, as you can tell. They don't look that new, and, uh, the cards feel kind of funny. I don't know, maybe that's just how they printed them back then. So that was the last pack, and, uh, here I'm going to showcase the best cards we got out of the 4 packs, as you'll see. And obviously the 3 best: Patrick Ewing— I, I don't know if I said that right— uh, Michael Jordan And, uh, wait, I'm gonna wait for him to go back up. There's this one card in the top right that my brother said was kind of good. Um, what is it? Irvin Johnson. Yeah, he said that was a decent card. But anyways, that's pretty much that. Let me know what you think, and I'll probably upload another one of these pretty soon.
