"Let's talk a little bit about baseball cards and what makes them valuable. Baseball card guys and gals are freaks and everything has to perfect and there's ways to grade cards. We'll start going over them and I'll give you an example of how a card in terms of the condition that it?s in can be devalued. This particular card right here, Mantle, Mantle is the most coveted card. Everybody wants Mickey Mantle. He's #1. All the Mickey Mantle cards are the one's that people want. Now, this particular Mickey Mantle card, if this were in mint condition, this particular card would be at least 200 dollars. But here's the problem, its not. The problem is that some child, imagine that, some child messing up my card, when that was a child which is probably my era, I might of even put this one in my bicycle spokes because that's what we did, go figure. So here is this giant crease in Mickey Mantle's face which devalues this card, makes him only worth about 50 dollars, but he's a Mickey Mantle just the same."
