L.A. BEAST
P.O. Box 405
Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ 07423
As the 2024 New Year has come and gone, the L.A. BEAST celebrated his 40th Birthday & is now counting down the days until he and his wife welcome a little L.A. BEAST into this world. His office where his videos are filmed must be transitioned up into the attic to make way a comfortable bedroom for his son. In order to clear out the attic so it can be redone, the L.A. BEAST has been working like a mad man to get rid of junk and other things that are just taking up space.
Growing up, a special bond that the Beast had with his uncle was over collecting baseball cards, and one day his uncle gifted him literally thousands of cards (which consumed well over 9 giant storage bins). At first, the beast was just going to toss all of them in the trash to make more space in the attic, but as he was looking through the cards, he actually found some "Diamonds in the rough" that are actually worth a good chunk of change when professionally graded by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) Because it will cost him a bit too much money to send ALL those cards in to get graded, he felt inspired instead to send on special card that he possesses instead for the time being.
About 4 plus years ago now, the L.A. BEAST was trying to track down a rare error card of Baseball player Billy Ripken to where on the bottom of his baseball bat he wrote the words "F#cK Face" and before the baseball ball company realized, they had already sent the cards to thousands of stores over the country before recalling them all back to fix the error....After the beast managed to luckily find 2 examples of this card, luck struck twice, as about a month later Bill Ripken was actually at a local store in Beasts Hometown to where (even though he doesnt like signing the FF error card) Billy Ripken signed both for the beast. Automatically making not only the card rare, but even more rare that is is signed by Ripken himself.
Long story short, the Beast gave 1 autographed card to his uncle Bob to say thanks for all the inspiration over the years and decided to send the other to PSA to get graded. Cards with grades of GEM MINT 10 are the highest grade a card can receive, making any resale value VERY EXPENSIVE all the way down to 1...being the lowest grade, meaning the sports card is in pretty bad shape and probably wont sell for as much.
Lets sit back, relax and see what L.A. BEASTS rare 1989 Fleer #616 FF Autographed Billy Ripken Error card grades out at.
Could the L.A. BEAST be the owner of one of the Rarest Diamonds in the rough in sports card history??
Lets find out...

Have A GOOD DAY!!
There are 33 PSA 10 with a 10 Auto. What a great story, definitely one to keep as a neat memory! Someday your son will cherish hearing the story behind this!
Just figured out what “pop” means
Your cards worth lots more now because of the back story of how you got it and the fact that you're famous, well done beast I'd pay triple for it
Noo way!! Congrats sir!@@LABEAST
Cool your having a baby . Congrats on a really cool error card. Hell Yeah!!!! but seriously congrats on becoming a father.
Welcome back la your definitely a funny guy
Happy 2024!! still burnt out a bit but at least im trying to get the ball rolling again!! stay tuned...
Showing Face like the Gangster that he is. Keep this Energy up Beast!! God Bless you and your family 🙏
Happy 2024 to you and your wife, cherish every moment with your child Beast , I've just lost a neice today 16 years old in a Boating accident in Sydney Australia,, Life's cruel
Take care of yourself and the content will flow naturally
Love it beast
Have you thought of making a tribute video to Chuck from the bronx? I know you liked his content a lot and it could be a fun project
Makes me happy to see you happy Kevin. I have a PSA 8 graded Ken Griffey Jr rookie card and though its not a 10 or signed, its my favorite PSA card.
I came here to watch one of your videos again, and lo and behold, you're starting a family. Congratulations! Man, I remember watching your videos when you were 29 and I was in college, and now I'm 2 years older than you were then.
A lot of CZcamsrs, when their fame wanes, burn out or wash out. It seems your life's only gotten better, which is great to know.
I’m only just getting started in the game of life
@@LABEAST your wife is a very lucky lady to have such an awesome man as her husband 💙
Congrats OG beast your life’s about to change for the better. Take care of your health :)
Been with you for years Beast.. we been in the game together since the wild west. Love that you are still posting like its 2012. Me too.. ;) keep it up.. please!
Man I used to watch your channel back in the day growing up, circa 2012-2013. Great memories!
@@christian5051 Right on brother, I have been posting as long as the epic LA BEAST, glad to be a part of the CZcams community spirit! OG BEAST!
@@TheRealRCSparks Two Real OG's of CZcams! 💯✨
@@TheRealRCSparkshell yeah man love your content for years as well! Good to see OGs supporting one another!
3 mins into this… the energy in your voice. I CAN SEE THE GREAT WAVE OF CONTENT ON THE HORIZON. LABEAST IS BACK, and he NEVER left is the thing!! Have a Good Day!
That’s no easy task… A pack pulled card from the 80s, a nice clean autograph… Pen wasn’t dry, looked good, then to get a 10/10 from PSA. You’re a wizard Harry! Or a hairy wizard. Or the grader was a Beast fan… I’ll go with you’re a hairy wizard
Lol people watching have no idea how hard this is to do 😂
Right because you two are the only ones who collect sports cards.
That friggin goofy grin you had in that poster-sized photo you sent in with the card is probably what got you that 10/10 🤣❤
I thought that too lmao...
First off congratulations to you and your wife for bringing in the next generation LABEAST!! And secondly PSA GM 10!!! That's freaking awesome man!! Glad you were able to record the moment and share with us!!!
We are honored and appreciative to be able to take part in your journey you absolute boss. Bering officially strait!
Congrats on your wife’s pregnancy! You’ll make an awesome dad beast! Thanks for sharing!
In the words of the Keeper.. You Chose.... Wisely! NICE SCORE!
I work in Annapolis maryland at a small local grocery store and atleast once a month i see cal ripken himself. Hes a really nice guy. Hes a big guy too,but a nice guy non the less.
That’s pretty cool
I work at a small grocery store too in Scottsdale, AZ. Once in a while Rob Schneider comes in. As opposed to Cal, he's a small guy. Small, but nice lol.
Congratulations to you 👏🏼🎉 for your wife and son!
What’s awesome about your videos is that - yes, they are funny and entertaining- but you’re also a genuine dude & you haven’t changed in all these years. I still remember when you did the first Crystal Pepsi video, and I’ve watched you since. Keep up the good work, and good luck with being a father.
Nearly a year ago, I became a father at 34. It's been a journey but honestly it is the second best thing to ever happen to me. We thankfully haven't really had any restless nights. My boy has been very merciful to his new parents!
Congrats on your future son!
@9:53 Big Beast, that box cutter was more vintage than the baseball card😂
Mannnn i miss these card break videos. As a collector/investor and the nostalgia its refreshing content. 🤘
2024 and LA Beast is in fact, here!
you are awesome!!
@@LABEAST amazing first video for the year. Knocked it out of the park
I remember watching your videos as a young child, around when I was 10. 23 now. I fucking LOVE you, man. You never change! You’re still kicking, dude! You’re the best. For real. Can’t believe you’re gonna have a kid, man! He’s gonna be a BEAST!!
Beast lad look I can’t say I’ve been watching you for years but I’ve made up for it by watching nearly all your videos to date.
For your true supporters who love you they will wait for however it takes for you to return. Your a unique human being my friend. And with your baby son on the way your world is only going to get better. Sending love from Australia mate
As long as you make content that you enjoy man, we'll be happy. Hope you can get the ball rolling again.
Hey hey hey!!! I love when you open the nostalgic items like this, I said in the live chat to check out the playmobil kitt and a team van!
Man, that’s so cool and a really tough to get the dual 10’s. The fact that you pulled the card yourself and also had the auto in person, makes this legendary with the grade as the cherry on top.
Man, it is so crazy to know that you're going to be a dad. I started watching your videos when I was in Elementary school. It's been almost 10 years. Your kid has no idea of how lucky he will be to have you as a parent. Please never leave CZcams, Beast. You make this platform a brighter place 🤘🔥
I literally can't imagine a better office/studio for the L.A. Beast than that attic right there. That was MADE for an absolute boss. Get that place transformed Beast! 😁
I remember as a kid watching your videos, I was maybe 12-14. Now I’m 22 and it really makes your eyes go wide to see how time flies. Glad to see a video of yours again! Gonna go back and rewatch all the food eating challenges
You're 40 and I'm 31. I first found you in 2010. Thank you for entertaining me over the years
Let's gooo! First video of 2024 starting strong! I will always be here to support you Skippy! I have been present in almost every livestream so far. Keep up the good work! 🌈🌄✨👌
Your videos are beyond grounding (for lack of a better word) while I'm out in college away from home. I definitely get in my head a lot so it's really nice to have these videos to go to when I need to just zone out everything going on. Love ya Beast
Yo, Beast! As a lifelong Cal (and Billy) Ripken fan, I am stoked for you! I remember relentlessly hunting this card down in 7th grade and you looked as excited as I remember feeling! And a PSA 10 to boot! Congrats!
lets go!! who knows how many times those boxes had been handled over the decades. plus you took them to the book store, loose, inside the dang cover, and it still was gem, well done!
Legendary video as always man. Been watching you since 2016!
I just became a dad in May 2022, and it’s been the best experience of my life, and I know you’re going to be a hell of a dad. Much respect for working on yourself with the baby coming, it’s a battle everyday but don’t forget what you’re fighting for. Much love LA Beast!!
I will never stop watching your videos, Beast! Congrats on the mini-Beast on the way!!!
appreciate you tuning in
Grats on the upcoming baby boy Beast!
thank you Duf
I also wanted to add that's great you're getting into reading. I've been trying to read a book a month (or so) for the last few years and I feel like it's changed my life significantly. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
WHAT A BANGER VIDEO! Congratulations!!! A Holy Grail indeed!
I’m sure there are more than 3-4 10/10 examples out there
Congrats on the baby!!! Take your time getting back in the swing of things, you deserve it. Can we see the grades for the other cards in a future video Beast??
You are so brave for handling those cards out of casings. No matter how careful I was collecting as a kid, my cards would always suffer one way or another. 10/10 for a 10/10 beast. Happy new year and congrats on becoming a parent 👏🏼
Have a good day!!
Its even cooler that you were the one to pull it, get it signed, and graded! Your card through and through
Congratulations on the baby news! I've been watching you since you started your CZcams journey, long may it continue. From a huge fan over the pond in England.
No worries man, we'll be here when you're ready to roll 🤘
Take as much time as you need to get your Berings straight 😉
Gratz on the GM10! What an epic story to it too. I bought the David Goggins book before the video was over. See you next time, Beast!
It’s an amazing book. He wrote a follow up, as well. I don’t read many books cover to cover and I ripped through both of them in 3 days total lol
Big, big milestones in the past year and more to come! Baby on the way, almost to 3 million subs, and still the same ole Beast. I love these types of videos dude and hope you do another metal detecting one soon! I love seeing what you dig up. Have a great week dude. AMAZING to see you streaming alot more and hearing you are hitting the gym hard. Have a good day!
Have a good day
I have been a dedicated fan and supporter of yours for going on over ten years now and it makes me so happy to see you doing videos. Keep it up, Beast! I love this these type of videos and also have a good day!
Nice footage of Bill Ripken there, thanks for filming that and placing the cards in there. He had no problem with that from the looks of it. I sent in a bunch of cards recently to PSA, particularly Ken Griffey Jr's and Derek Jeters from 1990-1993. You may want to try your hand at ripping a Randy Johnson rookie Fleer card with the marlboro ad on the scoreboard. Meeting that guy would hit me harder than Bill Ripken.
Saw Randy Johnson at Venice Beach probably 10 years ago. He was standing in front of me while we watched some street performers. I was like "who's this big fck!?" Then he turned around 🤣
Will not complain if you do more trading card related videos. You always have a great variety of content. Congrats on the 10/10!
Pullin every variation of the Ripken was a sport for my friends and I for a complete year. It was a great time for rack packs!
This entire community has so much love for you! You are one of the original content creators, the OG! You are the beast any video of yours is a treat. Thanks for making these for real Kevin. Happy birthday.!
I’ve got a beautiful son myself pursuing your passion while taking care of your child holding a family down and keeping the nostalgia going you have no idea what it means to us
BEAST YOU ARE THE MAN! Take all the time you need brother much love from Tucson, Arizona!
Wow Kevin how amazing is that! You will be a great father! Congrats to the future addition to the family! That card is def a top pop Billy Ripkin the nostaligia is unreal! Love it 🤣
That’s crazy. I came to find your video on hot ice because I watched you a lot when I was a kid. 21 now and you starting a family and still the same true LA beast. I’m on a new google account so I wasent subbed but I quickly changed that. Truly a lost treasure found. Happy for you sir.
Hello LA Beast, that is really awesome you got the autographs. Its great to see you again, im always a fan of LA Beast. Have a good day 👍👍👍👍👍
I feel like this 10 is my 10 too, since it is YOUR 10. Love you Beast. This video Made my Week. Shoutout to Uncle Bob. Your family is amazing, and the apple never falls far from the tree!
Heck yeah!! To uncle Bob
remember pulling these cards in 1989 and still have them!!
i freaking love you man, fills me with joy to see you succeeding and living your best life. Congrats on soon to be Fatherhood Beast, as a Father myself to a 5 year old boy i can say you gunna be a natural man, its the most important achievement in life and changes everything for the better and you being you i know for a fact you will do great man. glad to see you making content still it was a pleasant surprise when i opened up youtube. keep them vids coming brother. All the Best. peace
Happy 40th Brother!!! You one of the GOAT's in my opinion. Congrats on future family man. Cheers!
Cheers!!
Let's goooo with that hitter Beast!!
LA beast is 40??? He still looks like a jolly manic teen with that twinkle in his eye 🥲 shows how joy and passion really keeps us young. Mulți înainte beast, take care of yourself ♡
Damn, I legit cried. The story and your legit excitement and enthusiasm. I had a similar experience with MY Holy Grail item. I bought a CGC Restored 2.0 Tales of Suspense #39 (Origin and 1st appearance of Iron Man. When I got the book in, it had a crack in the case and a piece of plastic wedged between the inside of the case and book. I cracked it opened and removed it (a big CGC no-no). I got the opportunity to meet Stan Lee and had him sign the book in front of the CGC witnesses. I handed them the book to get graded with the old grading slip attached to it in the hopes of not getting a lower grade than I already had. I got it back in the SAME 2.0 grade with a certified signature of Stan Lee. Thank you for this story and video LA Beast, it’s good to see legit excitement like this. Congratulations to you sir!
Have a good day everyone! Keep up the work Kevin, and congrats on the Son!!! I'm rooting for you as a father!
DUDE! Dual 10's on vintage wax is absolutely amazing. You very well could be holding the only copy of that card in a gm 10 with a 10 auto.
Also, The photo you sent in from the signing was pure gold. Love it! I've always wanted to get my hands on a F Face card.
Dude, your story just got that much more epic. Beast crew is ascending! LETS GO!
Beast, crazy story related to Ripken (cal). Bought a book at a used library sale, Cals book. Didn’t even open it. Got home, was autographed w a photo of him doing it. Have a good day
Heck yeah!
wishing you all the best beast, your gonna be one beast of a father
Always good to see the beast my friend
Likewise Ninja
Congrats brother. You’ve stuck at CZcams for years, even though they’ve demonetised so many of your awesome videos. Been a fan since the sugarless Haribo bowel clean lol. Keep being awesome dude!
Love to see this man doing his best. Almost shed a tear when the music played at the signing lol
Congrats Beast! You deserve it.
That’s one hell of a legendary card beast. A legend holding a legend. Thanks for the awesome video man.
Just glad to see ya again Beast. Been watching for more years than i can remember bro, best regards to you and your family.
Hi, Kev! Love your channel, been a fan for like a decade now. I got a great book suggestion for you, it's a book that I read right after "Can't hurt me", it's called "Living with a seal", it's about a billionaire who hired David Giggings to train him for a month. It's fun and refreshing, especially after can't hurt me😁
I’m open to read any inspiring book next
David Goggins, he truly is amazing at defying the odds.
im not a huge baseball guy but you make me love it.
Glad to see you back in 2024 Beast! The morning livestreams are really fun, and I can't wait to see what comes next. Thanks for being an absolute bossanova!
40 looking 31 congratulations, beast! We love you bro, so stoked for this new journey you're about to embark on. My wife and I just had our first baby last year. Best blessing ever.
Sports card grading ruined the industry and took it out of reach for young kids who were the biggest market for sports cards collecting
David Goggins is the TRUTH Beast 🔥🔥🔥
GEM MINT 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Steven to you and your own been watching you for 10+ years and it’s good to see a good man getting the good life he deserves you deserve it brother. LA beast nation forever!!
Happy Belated Birthday Kevin! 💕🎂🥳
PS- my God has it already been 5 years since u got the fck face cards signed! Wow time flies 🤯😱
dood a PSA 10?? no way, almost impossible to get a rating like that now. congrats! great story of meeting Billy as well. Crazy to think i've had my billy ripken error cards for 35 years already..
Love the Pliny the Elder bottle. Great brew, and with their new brewery opened and running, it's everywhere around where live in Northern CA.
Love you beast....keep churning out those videos cuz I got my notifications set to "all" whenever your videos comes out. Your going to have a great 2024 with your new family. I'll be watching for ya. 🎉
Have a good day!
That was Awesome beast !! Congrats !! I want Remodel that attic !! FIERCE PAINTING AND REMODEL

Congrats brotha!! You’re gonna be an amazing father!! Proud of you man! Been watching you for a LONG ass time now and just happy to see you doing it brother!! Hope nothing but the best for you man!!!
Been tuning in to your daily livestreams the last week, Very excited to see what the year has to offer
Dude I am super happy that this worked out for you! Amazing video! I love stuff like this, a little history with some off the wall facts. So cool! Thank you Beast! And congratulations on your wonderful family addition! Children are absolute blessings!
You made me go and look at my card collections. Congratulations on the baby boy. It will change your life. For the best. I am 42 working on my 4th son.
ohh man congrats on the baby bro!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats awesome i turned 40 on dec 28th, glad to see you on youtube again !! HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool to hear the whole story from start to finish. Congrats man. The 2 most rare cards i have in my collection (a kaboom from absolute football and a zebra print from select football) both have cool stories behind them which kinda adds a little something extra. So happy for you on your gem mint 10!! You should do some more trading card videos in the future.
Well done my friend. Proud of the strides you've taken in bettering yourself. Inspiring to myself and countless others. Have A Good Day
Keep on trucking good sir
Hahaha, this is awesome. Was beyond stoked for you when I saw the GM MT 10. Keep killing it, Beast. Hope your year goes well!
Nice! That is primo, and you got to meet Billy Ripken too and he was a sport about signing it. Then they gave it a best score.
me and my brother opened a bunch of old packs about a year ago trying to find it, only got a censored card but you definitely inspired that journey. that's absolutely awesome and congrats on the fatherhood, you're gonna do great
Awesome card Beast! Been a fan since the beginning. I’m a huge collector of vintage cards myself. The excitement of pulling one out of a pack is hard to replicate. Keep up all the good work my man!
Dude you have to be in it to win it. You are truly a good and blessed soul because things happen to you at the right time in the right place more times than to the average joe. You have worked so hard and put so much in when most would have quit. Karma loves your metal and repays you when it counts. The beast will always be no1.
Happy 2024, love your videos man, here for the long haul. Congrats on the baby!
Congrsts on your grail, man. So cool to have followed this whole quest and see it complete
Love this kinda content from you! Also those movie and series set visits. Nice to just see a wild beast roaming around.
2024 looking to be a great year for you man! this, the kid, nearly 3M subs. nothing but love since when i first watched you a decade ago... wow... time flies!
