- Relax as I show you a few baseball cards from my collection.
Please help make my channel the best it can be and become a patron of my work at / relaxingasmr
Back in the nineties, I brought home a few packs of baseball cards and introduced my son to the hobby. Not surprisingly, my wife (she's a baseball fan too) also became interested in the colorful little rectangles of cardboard. So was born a collecting hobby for the three of us.
It was fun and exciting to see the values (false values as we know today), but that wasn't the point of the collection so I was never distraught when the baseball card market took a nosedive, never to recover. Many collectors like myself, though not actively collecting anymore, still have their collections from the nineties...for some reason lol.
A Waste on money? Perhaps. A waste of time? That answer may depend on the joy and interaction with others that the hobby facilitated. For me, the answer is no, it wasn't a waste of time. Nevertheless, the baseball card collection is still fun to look at and thanks to You Tube; I have a medium in which to share the cards with others. We'll start out this series by taking a look at some of my "better baseball cards", and as the series progresses, you'll eventually get to see me weed out many of the baseball cards and thin down the collection. I hope you'll enjoy the series.
If you know the current prices for any of the cards shown, please let me know in a comment. If you would like to see more videos of my baseball card collection, please let me know in the comment section. Thanks.

This video was produced with relaxation in mind and hopefully has some ASMR qualities. Stress is harmful to your well-being and in today's fast-passed world, stress relief is more important than ever, and so I hope this video in some way acts as a stress-reliever for those watching as well as a sleep-aid for anyone having a difficult time going to sleep. - Zábava

Im french and im kinda fascinated of american culture. I've been in michigan during 6months and really enjoyed it. When i see the capitalism, the mentality, and the culture itself i would say its the best place where to leave. In france we think small, the gouvernment is all, and citizens follow.. So just for say good video and good spirit, by
America is better described as a melting pot. Lots of different people and feelings. Myself, I think small and prefer it that way. I'm blessed to be able to choose, but I(my family) do our thing, and the city's and government do theirs. Small town America I guess.
I love your attitude.
A lot of those cards still have a pretty decent value... I know people that would quite literally commit felonies to get that Bench/Morgan dual auto... Thanks for the video! As a card fan, and ASMR fan, it was a real treat!
I know these cards may not be worth a whole lot, but they are cool as all get out, as a die hard baseball fan I would legit buy these cards off of you lol
Do not lose hope on these cards. I too am a avid card collector. The market for baseball cards is getting back to where it used to be many years ago. Many of the cards you discussed in the beginning are still worth pretty close to what they used to be. You're sitting on a gold mine. Many people, including myself . Would be jealous of your stellar collection . Do not lose hope . You have one hell of a collection
Tornadoes7 Exactly, I have quantity (over 500 cards) but nothing truly valuable.
Just about 10 years late, but I'm here and I love it!
You know, I have to say. You are my favorite ASMRtist on this website! Your voice is just perfect! It puts me to sleep in seconds, which honestly is kind of a bad thing, because your videos are always really interesting! Keep it up man!
Love these videos. I've watched this particular one over a dozen times lol. I used to be an avid baseball card collector, but not so much anymore. I still collect anything Jose Canseco, but that's it. Looking forward to more of these. You do good work, thank you for these sir
Really enjoyed this video and would love to see more of your collection!
Awesome video! I used to collect baseball and basketball cards when I was younger. My grandparents would buy me cards every time they'd visit. Unfortunately, all of the card shops around here went out of business years ago :-/ I still have the majority of the cards my grandparents bought me along with other cards I acquired over the years. I think it's cool how you, your son, and wife all enjoy collecting.
This one really got me feeling nostalgic and relaxed.
Thank you for combining two of the things i love most in life ASMR and Baseball. Even tho i am not a card collector. I still find it very fascinating. Please do more videos like this
I know quite a bit about the market for these cards and the baseline I would suggest for the Ty Cobb would be no less than $100. The Bench/Morgan I would take no less than $150 on. The Alex Rodriguez sweet spot auto would still net about $80-90 on the market. The Harmon Killabrew would be $20. The Maddux would be $80-100. The Gwynn is an exciting card because late 90's and early 00's inserts have made a resurgence. I would value that card at no less than $150, but due to scarcity it could become more sought after. Not $600, but perhaps $250 at high end. The Gwynn Vanguard silver /10 would be another interesting auction. Perhaps $50-75. The Sammy Sosa Skybox premium /50 is still a fairly sought after card and would likely garner $30-50 on the market. The Tim Salmon card /24 comes from one of the most highly sought after sets of the late 90's and gauging value is hard, but I would estimate between $60-100 on that one.
I think your values are high, no disrespect. With eBay and online sites, demand isn't high and therefore drives prices down.
I trust enough about my evaluation. I have been in the market for twenty years. I'm just saying what I would consider market value for these cards, even on eBay. Some would do better and some would do worse, but the concept of giving these cards away due to some perception of the bottom having fallen out would be a disservice to the collection. Which prices in particular did you take issue with?
Vagrant_88 but you have to have buyers and not to many people buy baseball cards anymore
BASIAN 87 you’d be surprised
BASIAN 87 the sports card market is as stronger and healthier than it's ever been. eBay sales on sought after cards, both current and vintage, are through the roof! Sure, junk era cards, late 80's thru late 90's, that were severely overproduced are still not worth much but that's likely never going to change.
I don't know a thing about Baseball, but I do know this was another great video, so soothing :D I'd definitely be interested to see more.
Every thing has a value.
The Tony Gwynn card is worth a lot. Very rare card of a great player and popular athlete. The Bench Morgan card is a nice one. On eBay ppl are asking from around 150 to 400. You have some nice cards there that haven't lost much value. Finding a buyer can be difficult.
I am quoting sale values as well on these cards. It's likely that the "book value" as in Beckett value, still has the cards in the vicinity of what your pricing looks like. But eBay has changed the game. The prices I quoted in my previous post are what you could expect to sell them for. I would by all means not entertain any offers *here* on youtube for these cards. Especially the lower numbered ones, because the value is in the scarcity. The Barry Bonds Brilliants /24 could be a $100+ card too. Incredibly hard to gauge value on those, but trust me when I say they're highly collectable. I would be incredibly interested to see what the rest of your collection looks like and if you have any specific examples of cards you'd like me to price I would be more than happy to do that. I could also potentially put you in contact with a reputable consignment dealer if you'd be interested. But I would be prepared to get your fair share of sharks sending you PM's about these cards trying to do some back door deals. It's a dirty business.
Love this! Even my hubby enjoyed listening. I'm sure that your collection has some value, even if you don't think so.
Some of the values of the cards may or may not have gone up. The A-Rod one probably took a nose dive after this year. But the Ty Cobb one certainly has some potential. I checked Ebay and Google shops, and mint conditions are valued at $199. Gregg Maddux may have lasting power as well, but not the $150 it was in its prime.
Huge baseball and ASMR fan! I have a collection of my own cards that were handed down to me from my dad and I've been adding to them every since. Some of the more valuable cards I have are a Joe DiMaggio jersey card that I purchased and a 1960 Sandy Koufax that I also purchased. My dad handed down to me about 9 complete Topps sets between the years 1985-1996. Very interested to see your collection. Great video!
Glad you liked the video. More to come:)
Good to know!
More please! So relaxing!
I remember I used to collect baseball cards. I always got the best one, never traded the cards with friends or family, LOL!!
To me this is interesting, as I known nothing about baseball nor card collecting, but it is fun how a piece of cardboard can be a treasure to certain people. Collectibles are fascinating.
Thank you everyone, for commenting on this video. Looks like I'll be doing more of these in the future. I'm thinking about going through the cards a little faster next time so that I can show more in less time.
Are you considering selling any of your collection? You got some nice stuff in there I'd be interested in.
nice video
RelaxingASMR You open to selling your collection?
You still have these?
Have no idea what it is, but i can seriously listen to most anything you talk about. There is just something about that voice. Reminds me of someone i knew once. Great vid
I enjoyed the tour of your collection! It's a shame this is the first time you're looking at them in a while. Personally, I just love admiring the different card designs, and reminiscing about all the players I used see when I would go to games with my dad in the 90's.
The value is returning to these treasures
Your videos are always relaxing.
Relaxing and interesting! As always!
It would be cool if you picked up a Beckett and checked the value of some the cards now.
If you have pre 1980 cards, those are still worth money.
Do you have an older collection?
Also, didn't you say you have a comic collection too..
Amazing! Please make more of these, they're really interesting!
Wonderful video! I'm not interested in baseball at all and it's also not a big thing here in Germany (Germans love soccer!), but it's a great video to relax to! More of this, please! :)
Football*
Oh, and the transparent designs on the McGuire card are meant to resemble foul poles I think.
Great video. I've never understood the appeal of baseball cards personally, but to each their own!
Cool cards awesome love the graded cards. Sick looking.
These cards still have good value. You certainly wouldn't get the money you have them valued at because nobody buys them at book value anymore. Trading Cards took another fall after ebay made it an even more competitive market. But there is still a huge following and love for collecting these precious pieces of baseball history. Thanks for showing.
Yay! Another vid to which I can fall asleep! Much love!
Awww 75,,, ugly ol"Topps,,, great lil mini set,,, started my Fresh HS,,,, Issued #23 FB,BB,,, so I'm the oringal ,,, not Jordan,,,, lol,,,, while I have been collecting since 71,n worth a few bones,,,,, I'm like this dude,,,,,, I lov showing my collection,,,, not bragging to my fellow Fantasy Sports buddy's who I've never met,,, never got complaints So I guess it's all good
Wow. You have some really nice cards man. Hang on to them.they are definitely worth something.
Love these videos. Very relaxing. As a former baseball card collector myself (I still collect my favorite player Jose Canseco) this video hits home with me. I also have a couple thousand cards that the value dropped out of. Looking at all the old values of your card collection, and knowing what they go for nowadays, it's almost heart breaking. I hope you didn't pay the prices on those old tags back then. If so, then I really do feel bad. However, the auto at the beginning is probably still worth quite a bit.
+mikeawesome3 I feel your pain, and no, other than two or three, all of my cards were opened from foil packs by my son and wife:)
+RelaxingASMR oh ok, well then that's not so bad then. It's a good looking collection.
Thanks. Those little price stickers were put on many of the cards by my wife as she looked up the values in Beckett, back in the day of course lol.
Can you explain how the prices dropped?
Wow, what a collection very nice
The johnny bench and joe morgan card is going for 1500-2000 on ebay right now … guess the held value after all
the autograph tony Gwynn is probably worth a lot....One of my favorite players
Great video. I definitely think some of these cards have a lot more value than you were thinking. Hope you still have them. 😄
I do!
Kazuhiro Sasaki Fleer is now available on eBay for $4.95. 1/10th of the former value. The A-Rod Showcase has fared a bit better than most. It went from $250 down to $122 on eBay.
I suppose if you're looking to get into collecting BB cards, now's the best time.
keep in mind as well, alot of stickers on back of cards were/are the high Beckett value. this is a magazine estimate, not necessarily the price that cards were actually selling for at the time.
You have quite an impressive collection of baseball cards in the 2000s. Unfortunately, I agree with you on the value of your collection due to ongoing trends. You still have cards that are worth some great money. You have 5 cards that are valued over 100.00 dollars, and the majority of the cards that you showed are worth more than 10.00.
Ty Cobb - with a piece of a game used bat !!! Just Amazing !!! Did you know that Man stole Home 54 times, Blows my Mind,
The barry bonds card is definintly worth a lot and the Ty Cobb
love the cards.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Great video, awesome cards too... Awesome video bro
Awesome vid, would love to see your football cards
Very relaxing video and interesting too even though I've never been into baseball, being from the UK it's not very popular over here. I notice some of the cards have been graded, did you buy them like that or did you get them graded?
This is a great video
Thanks!
It's been about 5 to 7 years since I've paid attention to baseball card values, but I do know that some of those cards are still worth something, and way more than you think. Getting someone to pay close to what they are "worth" though is a completely different story.
Great video! :D it was relaxing
Love the Robin Ventura card ..
very nice collection
Almost all your cards are very valuable, and you may want to keep them- or sell them. The cards with "souvenirs" you should definitely look into.
Very Nice Collection
The last Bonds 24k Brilliants sold for around $450. I collect Bonds exclusively and would love to own one! Many of these cards are far from 'worthless'! :)
Alex Rodriguez auto is worth about $80 to $110. Bench/Morgan auto between $70 to $90. This is a little below retail.
This is one of your best ASMR videos yet! Pwetty pwease do more!
I'd say the Josh Hamilton card with the "Devil Rays" may have some value today, because he is still active with the LA Angels of Anaheim. He was drafted by the Devil Rays, but never made an MLB appearance with them. The value may not be super high, but you could get money out of it.
that bonds 24kt card is worth around 1-2k minimum right now
That's great news!
Excellent vid. Please do more cards
What we've all been waiting for. Woohoo
can you continue with some of your series like the storage box and looking into what w wanted to see more of, you started with the gameboy, also the crossword video i really enjoyed
Alot of these cards have actually increased in value believe it or not
Dwally8 8 the good player relics or autos not base
My dad used to have boxes full of baseball cards when he was a kid. He had 3 Pete Rose rookie cards in those boxes! What he did with those boxes he still regrets to this day. He burned them when he was growing up cause he felt he had outgrown them. I guess collecting baseball cards was considered to be childish back then.
another top vid mr relaxing. Dont think baseball is popular here in england. I like it, tho i dont profess to have good knowledge of the game. Im a red sox fan, or dead sox, when we were really crap. I could definitely watch more baseball card vids.
really cool cards dudes
The Cal Ripken rookie card looks like it is in great condition! Maybe you should get it graded.
oh my gosh, A-Rod from his Mariners days!
I recently sold my collection, save for a selection of personal favorites and the most valuable ones. Sold a who trunk full of 80s/early 90s for $100. Was happy to get that.
Old video, but if you have that AROD signature card I'd pay more than market for it. I specifically go after his cards.
Thank you for being so quiet!
I love baseball!!
Love your video..thanks bud
You make very high quality video, thank you for this! Like big!
You have very nice baseball cards
I have a huge collection of topps complete sets. I have 1987-1991, and 1999 to present day.
this video made me very drowsy at first, then very depressed hear how much my card's value depleted, lol...thanks for the vid ASMR!
I have a limited edition Tom Brady card with the air he deflated from footballs. Not very valuable though because there are so many of them out there...
hahahahahaha
Hey asmr man love the show I take those cards off your hand
I like the Big Red Machine! I'm from Ohio and am a Cincinnati fan.
Interesting video. I liked the pace, I feel it could ruin the experience if you were to rush through them faster. I like the idea someone said of picking up a guide and checking out the values, that could be a good video...I'd watch it.
most of those cards can fetch pretty big money
Awesome video and I love baseball ⚾️
Go RedSox 💯
Your J. Bench & J. Morgan "Big Red Machine" card recently sold on eBay for $150.
I've got a Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie which is worth now about $40, but was more than $1,000 at one point.
Moral of the story: Buy low, sell high.
It's about collecting not the money so that quote is worthless
If, and only if, it's about the collecting then I agree. However, if it isn't then I have to disagree. Michael Andronic
the Arod Sweet Sigs is booking for $200, the bench morgan 92 UD auto is booking at $80, those were the highest listed. I can assume the Gwynn sp auto is some where between $150 and $200 and im sure those Brilliance 24k book for a decent price if beckett still listed the set. i'll check an older book and get back with you Asmr
The Ken Griffey Jr base ball card is worth about 25 dollars
Great video, And when it comes to the value of the cards i kn ow the market for them is coming back and they could be worth alot now not 600$ but up there it just i don't really deal in baseball cards bu i know the market is coming around for all cards these days.
A lot of them do have value.
Nice vid, keep it coming
I will. Thanks!
I do not like sports, and have heard of Ken Griffey Jr.
What would make u watch this video, or ur interest in posting ,,, hum,,,, well whatever u collect,,, have fun,,,,, I really enjoy ( even @56) buying cheap deals , coins, comics m, ect ,,,great birthday gifts,, I can't take'em w/me
I heard of him from The Simpsons
Same lol
That Ty Cobb card is cool. That bat has to be about 100 years old.
Brennan Adamski depends on the year or how long he had one bat for becuase he played from 1905-1928
More of these videos please:)
For eBay it's very hard to say a card is worth $X dollars when you are only looking at what people are selling it for. Something is only worth what people pay for it so you have to check and do an average of what people actually paid.
May wanna recheck the value of some of these.. Cards values are sky high right now!!
