1
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,640
Good morning everyone, Welcome to episode
two sixty five of Hobby Hotline. Cousin

2
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,240
Tony on the Mike, and today
I'm joined by two of the biggest guys

3
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,320
in the Hobby. First up,
Mike Joke Wax Hero Mike, what's going

4
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,079
on? Brother? Hey, good, I'm thrilled to be here. We're

5
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,399
it's supposed to be in the middle
of a hurricane here, but it's pretty

6
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,960
tame in Maine right now. It's
uh little windy, no rain, it's

7
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,280
no bad, okay, nice nice. And with us is our resident mechanic,

8
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:02,960
Mr. Logan King Nascar. What's
going on, Logan? Well,

9
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,200
it's Saturday. We're talking about trading
cards. So everything's great, awesome,

10
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,560
awesome, sounds good. Before we
get started to get some of these comments,

11
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,319
foul Ball says, good morning,
guys, Silver Fox says, my

12
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,840
first time to have made Let's go
awesome. Well, welcome mad City.

13
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,719
Bruce says, good morning, and
Frank says, good morning. So let's

14
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,640
get off and running here. So
before we get into the meat and potatoes

15
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,879
of the episode, just want to
recap you guys. I mean, obviously,

16
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,840
the NFL kicked off this past week
and we're going into week two and

17
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,159
just wanted to get you guys.
Just actually prospecting comes always to mine because

18
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,280
you hear, you know, guys
talking about these quarterbacks that haven't taken a

19
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,159
professional snap yet, and you look
at their card values and often they're worth

20
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,400
more than guys who've won multiple super
Bowls, multiple MVPs, things like that,

21
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:53,920
And it was I mean obviously Week
one now in the NFL is kind

22
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:59,120
of glorified preseason game because most of
the guys don't play up until you know,

23
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,439
the first actual real game. Uh
So, just just want to get

24
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,120
some thoughts first on you know,
if you're watching any games or anything like

25
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,000
that, and just a thought of
the quarterbacks that get hyped up before this

26
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:14,280
season and after Week one where you're
at, So, Mike, just some

27
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,039
thoughts on that. Yeah, I'm
not a big football guy. I don't

28
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,199
collect any football cards whatsoever, but
I am a football fan and I found

29
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,439
there were a lot of a lot
of surprises in Week one, like some

30
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,879
of the top quarterbacks played terribly.
But I hopefully people aren't panicking if you're

31
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:38,560
collecting Josh Allen or Mahomes or Burrow, you're not panicking after one game because

32
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,560
those guys are still the best of
the best, and you shouldn't be selling

33
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,800
just because they had a bad week
one. Yeah, that's always the key

34
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,199
is like can these guys with stand
holding on? So, you know,

35
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,919
just I think it depends on the
age of the collective. Maybe you might

36
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,960
get a younger guy who panics and
he's just you know, abandoning ship as

37
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,159
opposed to someone who's been in the
game for a while. And those the

38
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,639
ebbs and flows of the hobby.
So but uh, logan anything on that.

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Well, I'm kind of like Mike, I don't collect football, and

40
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,479
now I do. I do have
some uh some funny football card, you

41
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,759
know, funny football cards like uh
like Dick Post and those kind of guys.

42
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,159
But uh uh but I don't.
I don't collect it, but I

43
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,080
do watch it. Uh, And
I'm like, Mike, don't freak out,

44
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:28,599
don't sell. I mean, it's
only one week. That doesn't make

45
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:32,560
a career. So so hold on
to your cards. Don't don't be in

46
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:35,840
a cell mode. I mean,
if you're gonna be in a cell mode,

47
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840
there's gonna be people that are gonna
go ha ha, I'm gonna buy

48
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,080
your cards. So yeah, it's
uh well, we'll we'll know more this

49
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,960
week about about the the temperature of
the NFL and how the teams are doing.

50
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Yeah, I agree, I think
after one one week, you know,

51
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,800
like I said, you get your
feet wet. Uh. And I'm

52
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,960
an Eagles fan. So they just
played Thursday and they looked a little better,

53
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,199
but you can still see that's not
really you know, it takes wow,

54
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,800
so they kind of figure it out. So and a lot of guys

55
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,759
getting hurt really early too, so
I don't know if that's just conditioned or

56
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,280
what. But I mean, like
I know, they're out three or four

57
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960
starters already, so it's like cheese. You know, where's this going to

58
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:15,720
go from here? Yeah? I
mean do you think that if Aaron Rodgers

59
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,639
had played more preseason that he might
not be in a position that he's in

60
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,720
now. I don't know if that
would protect your achilles? Yeah, I

61
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:28,680
don't know. I'm just just saying
it. Just curious. Yeah, Yeah,

62
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,920
it's silver Fox says, sell me
your Aaron Rodgers and Rooky cars.

63
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,560
He's scratched. There you go.
Yeah, it'll be a good time to

64
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560
buy on Aaron Rodgers soon, I'm
sure, because he's a surefire Hall of

65
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,399
Famer and his values are gonna go
down after this. Yeah, yeah,

66
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,680
with thinks So it's it's yeah,
it's it's strange, I know. And

67
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,399
now there's a big push for the
from the players Association to get grass on

68
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:56,040
all the fields. But again,
that injury that he you know, I

69
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,800
don't know if you guys saw it, but they showed the replane. You

70
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000
can see where it it actually pops
in his like kind of jumps up.

71
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,120
It looks I was like, yeah, yeah, so yeah, I don't

72
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,959
know, that's just that was just
a freak thing. So I don't know

73
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
if, you know, being conditioned
or not, if that played any any

74
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,720
part into it. But the same
thing was Kevin Durant and what year was

75
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,160
that, twenty nineteen NBA Finals And
you could see it like its calf bounced.

76
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,959
I don't remember if that was his
achilles or a calf problem, but

77
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,959
yeah, same thing. Crazy.
Yeah, so not good, not good.

78
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:33,199
Orlando's here, he says hello everyone, foul. Boss says baseball only

79
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:36,560
here. He doesn't collect football.
Mookie Chilston's in the house. Mookie says

80
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:41,000
Jet should have let Aaron Rodgers hold
the flag on the way out of the

81
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:47,079
stadium classes. Yeah, that's something
there. Rex is here, he goes.

82
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Good morning from New Buffalo, Michigan
and Ralf Brazo, Indiana. You're

83
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,839
on the big screen at the shop. Thank you much appreciate it. So,

84
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,399
speaking of the shop, there's a
big release this week, I guess,

85
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240
and it's causing a little little stir. I know I have some opinions

86
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,720
on it, but I want to
see what you guys think. First Bowman

87
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,879
Chrome released and I'm actually gonna pull
these things up as you guys are talking.

88
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,040
But there's a first Bowman that's being
issued of guys like Babe Ruth,

89
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:19,240
Vertical Clemente, and let's just say
that there's some people that have some thoughts

90
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,480
on it. So Mike, I'll
kick it to you first. I'll pull

91
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,040
up the the Babe Ruth that you
sent me, But talk to me about

92
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,040
this, this first Bowman and these
legends. Yeah, it's a gimmick.

93
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,920
It's it's silly to me. I'm
certainly not a buyer of them, but

94
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,120
I suspect that fanatics knows what they're
doing, and they have plenty of people

95
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,439
who are interested in them, and
any opportunity Fanatics can make to make a

96
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,959
buck. They're going to do it. It's just I don't think you'll see

97
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,199
any vintage collectors like me say,
oh, I've got to have a first

98
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,800
bowman of Clemente or Babe Ruth.
I don't even know who the checklist is

99
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,560
of these. See that's the twenty
sixteen bowman that I sent you. That's

100
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,360
not even the new ones. They
already had bowmans of some of these players,

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,800
So I don't know, is this
not his first bowman in twenty sixteen.

102
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,279
It's tough to argue, you know
that it's not when it's clearly is

103
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,639
I mean? Or well, I
mean it's obviously dated way earlier than than

104
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,480
the one they're releasing this year and
claiming it's as the first bowmen. Yeah.

105
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:27,680
So, and and here's you know, and here's the Clemente. This

106
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,399
one's at of fifty and this one
actually has a twenty five hundred dollars price

107
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,839
tag on it or o bo.
But I had seen one earlier this week

108
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:40,480
with a thirty five hundred dollar price
tag on it, So it was just

109
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,160
strange. So logan where you at
on this stuff? I agree, it's

110
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,720
it's gimmicky, for sure, There's
no doubt about it. Does the Babe

111
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Ruth card? Is he in his
Boston uniform or is he in the is

112
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,839
in Boston? Yeah? And and
the Red Sox logan, it's not even

113
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,800
logo, it just says Red Sox. It's way off center. It's out

114
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,199
of the box of where it's supposed
to be. Looks terrible. Yeah,

115
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,720
it's I don't know, it's it's
one of these things. Go back here.

116
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,399
It's it's one of these things that
it's just I just see it that,

117
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,079
you know, Mike, I mean
you talked about I was like,

118
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,079
it's a gimmick, and then you
put these bounties on top of It's a

119
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,399
gimmick on top of a gimmick.
So I mean, is are they Are

120
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,800
they telling us that they're really struggling
to move this this product? Think?

121
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:28,800
Yeah. I mean you see,
in the past week or so, we've

122
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:35,519
seen Walmart reduced prices on old blaster
boxes down to now twenty dollars from thirty

123
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:41,519
or thirty five or I don't know, forty dollars. Boxes there every time

124
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,399
I go into Walmart or Target now
they have an abundant number of boxes.

125
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,840
They there are tons of blaster boxes
and I don't know, jumbo boxes whatever

126
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:54,639
at both of them. Now.
Uh, it's just now they're saying,

127
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,240
who who's paying that two hundred thousand
dollars bounty? I know DA Card World

128
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:05,600
David Adams is offering it, but
did they have a customer who has said,

129
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,960
hey, we want this, or
is it Tops that's offering it somehow?

130
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,200
That seems unlikely that they would do
it through DA Card World unless they're

131
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,440
trying to like launder the reputation somehow
through there, because it would seem weird

132
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960
if Tops were doing it. I
don't know. I'm really curious what other

133
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,320
people think about that gimmick on the
gimmick with the bounties on the first Bowman

134
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,200
Babe Ruth one of one, Yeah, logan anything on it. I think

135
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,080
it's stupid money. I mean,
two hundred thousand dollars for that, I

136
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,879
mean, godly, go and buy
yourself a low end I guess you can

137
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:41,120
still buy a low end fifty two
mantle for that. Yeah. I just

138
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:46,039
think it's crazy. If you've got
that kind of money, you would send

139
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:50,840
it to me I can make better
use of it. Yeah, Yeah,

140
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:54,320
it's it's strange. And I always
say I think who who is actually paying

141
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,320
these bounties if and when they get
you know, caught whatever. But let

142
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,399
me get some of these. Mark
says, it's someone who collects vintage.

143
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,360
I wouldn't even look at these,
so I collect Roberto Clemente. But then

144
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,279
I also will dabble in some of
the newer modern things that they put out.

145
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:11,879
This one particular here, I saw
it right away. I'm like,

146
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200
at best, that's like a fifty
dollars car, maybe a hundred on a

147
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,600
good day. I just don't it's
based on some of the stuff that I

148
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,559
buy, and we'll get into that
later. Just just because you slapped on

149
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,320
that sticker on there, it does
it does nothing for me at all.

150
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,600
It's actually I think it's a pretty
cool picture. I haven't seen that picture

151
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,799
used on a card before. You
don't like his particular one is him Bunning,

152
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,240
which is but you know, you
never really see that too much.

153
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,799
But it just did nothing to move
move the needle. So I agree there

154
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,440
with Mark. She here, Rex
says, he goes, you know,

155
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,080
I don't hate the idea, but
I think they should have picked players who

156
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,360
actually never who actually never been in
Bowman. The bounty is also silly.

157
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:58,919
The two hundred k is just a
marketing expense for Dave and Adams. Yeah,

158
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,799
it's hype. They're they're they're trying
to hype the product because you know,

159
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,519
I guess maybe a lot of people
Maybe I'm not sure. I'm not

160
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,360
a baseball collector, but you know, I don't know what the sales are

161
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,799
like on that. Rex probably has
a good temperature on how the sales are

162
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,879
on that, but maybe the sales
are not as not as good as they

163
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:20,759
thought. Maybe that's they're they're trying
to hype it with this two hundred thousand

164
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:26,159
dollars bounty. Yeah, I think
so. See here, Cutter says,

165
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480
for the money people on these contri
rarity gimmick cards, you could buy a

166
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,960
complete set of mid sixties tops.
Seems like a no brainer. Yeah,

167
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,440
you could, uh totally agree.
Yeah, you can definitely pick up you

168
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,840
know what I mean, for two
hundred k, you can definitely put it

169
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:43,440
into something that's a little more stable
and you know that has stood the test

170
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,480
of time as opposed to something like
this. I mean, I imagine these

171
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,639
guys that are playing two three four
thousand dollars for these first Bowman cards,

172
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:52,279
they're really going to be regretting it
in a week or two. MM.

173
00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:00,840
I totally agree that there's gonna be
a lot of Regretsky Chilson has a great

174
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:03,960
point. Yeah, yeah, let's
see, so Mookie said, Mookie,

175
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,759
nostalgia is the driving force behind so
much hobby spending. Fanatics knows it.

176
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,480
They can't profit off off actual vintage
cars, so they're creating their own.

177
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,519
Very good point, Mike, what
do you think. Yeah, I mean,

178
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,279
fanatics knows that there's a massive market
for vintage cards. There are a

179
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,879
lot of people who are collecting only
vintage, and they're trying to get these

180
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,639
guys like me to collect ultramodern two
because that's the only place they can make

181
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,360
money unless they do weird buybacks of
like nineteen fifty two tops cards or something

182
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,720
and try to put them in packs. But I don't know, I just

183
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:41,639
don't see this being effective in the
way in getting vintage collectors into ultramodern cards.

184
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,519
Yeah, yeah, I am.
Well here, I'll just show it

185
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,440
now because it's on kind of on
topic, so I'll dabble in in some

186
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,519
of that stuff depending on what it
looks and what it is. So I

187
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,480
have this is a twenty twenty two
Island and Ginter. It's Clemente but super

188
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,919
fractor. But I just thought it
looked cool and sure, you guys,

189
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,879
so like I just like the car
because of the way it looks. I

190
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:07,679
know that it's not you know,
obviously in the grand scheme of things,

191
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,039
it's not a playing Day's car.
Is nothing like that. So yeah,

192
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,559
I kind of fall into that trap. But it's certain things, like I

193
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,879
said, the Bowman one. Right
away, I'm like, no way.

194
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,039
I was like, this is just
just because of the thought was like you

195
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:20,919
you slept on the bowman, you
know, putting as first bowman. It

196
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720
just doesn't do anything for me.
But I will dabble into some of that

197
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:28,879
stuff depending on what it is.
So I get it what they're going for.

198
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:33,039
Chris Harris says, a thirty three
gat a thirty three Gauty autographed by

199
00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:35,639
the Bay recently, so for one
hundred and eighty two. So you know

200
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,240
you can get that. You know, there you go. I mean you

201
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,120
can buy you can buy the real
thing with the real autograph for less money.

202
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,320
That means that's again, I just
think it's it's crazy, it's it's

203
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,519
a stupid money, I think,
in my opinion, yeah, let's see

204
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:56,519
here. So Steven says, good
morning, All TD says, hello,

205
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,879
all Orlando says, if you like, if you like, if you like,

206
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,960
see sorry, if you like it, be patient. The prices will

207
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,440
go down a lot, for sure. Yeah, they always do. Yep,

208
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,320
yeah, for sure. That's That's
one thing I had to teach my

209
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,480
son when he first started collecting,
when he was a kid. He's thinking,

210
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,240
oh, I gotta get it now, we gotta buy it now.

211
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:18,679
I'm going no, no, we
don't have to buy it now. Just

212
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,559
hold on, be patient. Prices
will go down. And he later on

213
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:28,080
he's like, damn, you're right, I'm going down a while. I

214
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,480
know all about it. The rare
dad Win, Yeah, yeah, because

215
00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:35,000
back then I was kind of the
dumbest man on the planet. So yeah,

216
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:41,480
it was a rare dad Win.
That's great. And uh, Chris

217
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,159
as Joe Carter and Price Pop ruined
his childhood. Yeah, Joe Carter ruined

218
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:50,559
my childhood. Man. So it
h I still see it. I still

219
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,279
see that ball going over the fence
to this day. Oh yeah, man,

220
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,120
that that hurt. But it is
what it is, man, that's

221
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:01,399
that's what that's what made me the
nice bitter Philadelphia fan that I am right.

222
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,480
Rex says, I actually think Allen
and Ginter will be more fun next

223
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,759
week and half the price of Bawm
and Chrome. Look at that. There

224
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:15,080
you go, there you go.
Just think that this Babe Ruth card is

225
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,759
gonna be in the PSA set registry
Babe Ruth Master set. So if you're

226
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,440
if you're a Babe Ruth blacter,
you're gonna have You're gonna have to buy

227
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,480
it. If you're if you'd like
graded, if you do graded, that

228
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,759
is true. It is true.
TV says, I think some of these

229
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:35,600
will hold some value, though the
main legends thoughts on that. I think

230
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,759
if if it's a one of one
or if it's numbered, they will still

231
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,879
have some value in ten or twenty
years, but they're gonna be there.

232
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,200
They'll be at their highest value in
the next week or so. Yes,

233
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,120
I think it only declines from there. Totally agree. Elected Jams says,

234
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:56,320
awesome one and one. Thank you. Faus said it's all the gimmick.

235
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,679
Twenty has fine for yeah, like, but the thing is, I know,

236
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,600
but the thing is I know going
into it, like I just I

237
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:03,480
think the car looks cool, like
you know, I mean for me.

238
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,320
I think it's a nice portrait and
it is what it is. Like I

239
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:10,360
know that I trust me. I
bought this. I know that it's probably

240
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,120
not it's not gonna go up.
But then again, like I buy this

241
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:15,960
stuff and it's not really going anywhere
either, So it's like, you know,

242
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,799
you know, it's just everybody collects
their own way, and for me,

243
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:23,159
like this is this is probably it's
forever home, so you know,

244
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:27,600
it is what it is. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm certainly not

245
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,639
going to tell anybody how to collect
and because no, I don't want anybody

246
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:36,840
tell me how to collect. But
for me, it's that's just no boy,

247
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:41,960
no for me, Yeah, I
understood. Silver Fox is apparently his

248
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,080
uh moment was as an adult and
the ball was just out of the reach

249
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,399
of Nelson crew. Oh isn't it
funny how you can, like, no

250
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,559
matter where where it is in time, you're gonna and Mike we were just

251
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,639
talking about off air and you can
share it if you want, But pick

252
00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:00,159
a moment in time sports and you
can know exactly where you were, what

253
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,000
the game was, who it was, and all that stuff. And to

254
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,599
this day still the wound is open
and every once in a while, gets

255
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,799
opened again, Salt gets thrown.
In two thousand and three Red Sox they

256
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240
had one of the greatest offenses of
all time. It's my favorite team of

257
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,160
all time two thousand and three,
two thousand and four, and I watched

258
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,000
every single game that year. I
knew every tendency. And I remember watching

259
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:26,880
Game seven of the ALCS with my
father in law and Grady Little came out

260
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:33,359
of the dugout Pedro on the mound
and the seventh inning maybe and Pedro had

261
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,960
I think one hundred, one hundred
and three pitches. My father in law

262
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,880
says, Oh, here comes Grady
to take Pedrot. And I said,

263
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,680
he's not gonna take Pedro out.
He's too stupid, he's too arrogant,

264
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:45,640
and he's gonna he's gonna leave Pedro
in. My father in law, no

265
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,559
way. He walks back, and
that's I knew the game was over from

266
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:52,839
there. It just you gotta take
paid rout at that point. Yeah,

267
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,960
that's still it still burns me,
even though they won the World Series the

268
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,359
next year. Still for sure,
Yeah, it was. And how the

269
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,599
bad ones stick longer than the good
memories? Logan, you have anything like

270
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,839
that with any sports event a race
or anything like that. Oh, there's

271
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:14,880
there's there's almost too many to talk
about. Back in the day, NASCAR

272
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:21,480
would throw these what what they would
call debris cautions to like get the field

273
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,160
back together and make the race a
little bit more exciting. And they always

274
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,839
seem to benefit the guys like Jimmy
Johnson and Jeff Gordon, and that would

275
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,960
that would really just stick in my
crawl because I knew they you couldn't find

276
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,839
any debris on the track, so
that would always stick in my crawl.

277
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:41,200
And that happened quite a bit back, you know, years a few years

278
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,039
ago. Yeah, yeah, And
I said, I watched NASCAR for like

279
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,799
between two thousand and two thousand and
six. Is shy. I know exactly

280
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,200
what you're talking about. It's like, oh, there's nothing going on.

281
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,079
All of a sudden, there's a
piece of paper that appears on the track

282
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,680
somewhere, and they, oh,
yeah, play. So luckily they've they've

283
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,240
stopped doing that, but they did
it for a long time. It was

284
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:06,799
just at these contrived cautions. And
they even showed a video one time of

285
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,960
a of a track worker going out. He acted like he was picking something

286
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,279
off the track, and they hit
another angle and he wasn't picking up anything

287
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,960
at all. It just it blew
off by the time they came here.

288
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,240
So you know, a lot of
this stuff is uh, well, Mookie

289
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,559
said, it's nostalgia driven. No
one asked you guys about kids today.

290
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,640
You think kids today are gonna have
the same nostalgia for cards that we do,

291
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,119
And Mike, I'll lead off with
you, Well, I guess it

292
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,960
depends on when you grew up,
right. I grew up during the junk

293
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,079
backs era, and I have a
ton of nostalgia for very specific cards in

294
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:48,119
the eighties and early nineties, and
I don't look at when I was a

295
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,359
kid, I kind of thought about
their monetary value. We thought they were

296
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,200
gonna be worth millions, right,
we were going to retire off of our

297
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:59,640
cards at that time. But there
was also a lot more joy in the

298
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,759
car then and maybe kids nowadays still
have that joy. But I think kids

299
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:10,079
now look at them. I don't
know. I definitely know some kids who

300
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:15,759
do it for the joy, but
there's probably more of the hustle and value.

301
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960
And there's just so many cards out
there, so many parallels, so

302
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,720
many How many cards can you be
nostalgic? For twenty years down the road,

303
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:29,400
like a rated rookie of a guy
one of his thousand rookie cards.

304
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,920
I don't know. It's tough to
say, and I'm not certainly not dumping

305
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,720
on the way kids collect nowadays.
It's more about the fanatics and Tops and

306
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,920
Panini flooding the market and making it
difficult for kids to really have that nostalgia

307
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,640
in the future. Logan, Well, I think like you say, I

308
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,519
think it's more of the hustle now
and more of the being able to make

309
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,960
money off the cards. And I'll
give you an example. Back when Formula

310
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,599
one first came out, I went
to one of our local hobby shops and

311
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,920
I walked in and I saw a
guy. He had a box of twenty

312
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,079
twenty Tops Chrome f one and I
have. He was walking into the hobby

313
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:12,920
shop with it, and I've kind
of mentioned it to him. He goes,

314
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:15,960
oh yeah. He goes, oh, I'm gonna open up this box

315
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,759
and I hope to pull that Lewis
guy. And I went, Huh,

316
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,039
you don't even know. All you're
worried about is trying. It's just some

317
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,839
kid. He paid like six fifty
or something for this box. He told

318
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:32,000
me, and all he was worried
about was trying to make money. He

319
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:34,880
had no idea who Lewis Hamilton was, didn't. I don't think he really

320
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,640
cared. All he worried about was, Hey, if I get this card,

321
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,400
I'm gonna send it to PSA,
I'm gonna grade it. I'm gonna

322
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,359
make a lot of money. So
I think that's that's more the mentality now,

323
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,559
because you gotta think there's a lot
of things going on in the world

324
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,279
these days, especially with social media
and all the electronics and everything that's going

325
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,720
on. It's like squirrel, you
know, look over here, look over

326
00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,279
there. The kids have a lot
that they can do. So I don't

327
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:03,440
know, and I may be wrong, but I think a lot of them

328
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:06,640
don't pay attention to what's going on
with sports. They're just all they know

329
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:08,599
is, hey, this card is
worth the money. This card is worth

330
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:11,680
the money. Let's try to flip
it and make some money. And like

331
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,880
I said, like what Mike said, I had no problem with whatever they

332
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,119
want to do. But that's I
think that's the way of the world right

333
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,119
now. Yeah, that's a great
comment. But I think his name is

334
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,440
Steven. I always forgot. Yeah, it's uh, he goes one million

335
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,960
Cubs Project says they were always being
nostalgia. It would just be different than

336
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:33,759
our nostalgic kids in the fifties and
sixties through cards and put it put in

337
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:37,680
their bike spokes. Eighties kids had
price guides and penny sleeves. Yeah,

338
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:44,200
kids now have zion cases and it's
so true online price guides. Yeah.

339
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:48,039
Uh. For me, it's it's
it's a couple of factors. And actually

340
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,519
I wanted to give kudos to Rob
Sports Card Therapists had this h on his

341
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,799
show, this topic and for me, well, first thing, players bounce

342
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:00,480
around a lot more now than they
did four I mean, you've got guys

343
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,000
that are doing one year deals here
there, and then you know they're in

344
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,079
five, five, six teams you
know, within seven eight years. So

345
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,079
that's one thing where the players are
all over the place, and the kids

346
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,079
are spending a lot more time on
video games than they are you know,

347
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,599
things like that, like I mean
logan you mentioned it, social media and

348
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,400
things like that, and the money
thing. You know, they they there

349
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,720
are lots of the kids are a
lot smarter today in the hobby than I

350
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:23,839
think they were when I was a
kid. In the hobby, you know,

351
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:26,880
sit down with a twelve thirteen year
old kid. It's not the same

352
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,079
conversation it was with most kids back
in the six sixties, seventies, eighties.

353
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,039
I mean, these kids are a
lot more educated, and what's the

354
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,839
values of these cards and things like
that. So and mikeyr thing too,

355
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,200
We're like, you know, when
we were just going to hold these cards

356
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480
forever. Now the kids now they
kind of know that I need to move

357
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,839
this today because tomorrow it's not going
to be, you know, worth what

358
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,680
it is today. But so,
I don't know. I mean that one

359
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Million Cubs Projects commentary was actually very
good, just thinking, you know,

360
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,480
what's there. I guess they're in
nostalgie. Is going to be is zion

361
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:06,039
case where ours ours as a binder? So yeah, yeah, I think

362
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,680
their nostalgia might even be like they
watching a lot of YouTube or TikTok on

363
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,920
cards. I don't I assume there's
some card stuff on TikTok. I've never

364
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,400
I don't know that. I'm just
trying to think about what kind of card

365
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,240
based nostalgia they would have. Super
fractors, What will there be in twenty

366
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,359
five years, thirty years on cards. Will they all be digital by then

367
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,000
and maybe the nostalgia will be remember
when they were on cardboard or whatever they're

368
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,240
now, that's true. Well,
you know, my nostalgia was back in

369
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:42,880
the seventies when I had my little
black and white TV and we would take

370
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,920
it outside on Saturdays and watch the
Game of the week with Joe Gargiola and

371
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,279
Tony Kubeck. You know that that
was that was minustalgia, watching guys like

372
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,920
you know, Johnny Bench and Pete
Rose and those guys were Brooks Robinson or

373
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,960
whoever. And uh, that was
my nostalgia. That was that was really

374
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,920
fun. We'd sit outside and watch
TV and watch the games. Weak.

375
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,039
Yeah, we didn't have a lot
of games back then. Yeah, I

376
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:11,000
mean now a kid can pull up
thirty games at one shot on his phone.

377
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,720
So Clay says, the hobby,
The hobby's lots of ways to enjoy

378
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:21,200
it for what it's worth. So
and Carbs name is bo by the way,

379
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,519
I don't know Steven. Yeah,
you're you're close. You're interesting.

380
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:29,960
Thing. Crazy Roth Cards doesn't hold
cars for more than forty eight hours.

381
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:30,960
So yeah, there you go.
That kind of goes back to him,

382
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:37,599
you know, said the younger guys
being aware of these things cash in now.

383
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,200
Yeah, lots of ways to enjoy
the hobby. Like Clay says,

384
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,640
I'm not being critical of the different
ways that people are just there. It's

385
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,240
just so different from the nostalgia that
we have. They're going to have such

386
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,759
a different nostalgia. Yeah yeah,
And I mean to the point where,

387
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,079
like you said, you know,
maybe the cars will be all digital and

388
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,599
stuff like that, does that then
raise the the value of these cars that

389
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:03,559
were actually printed on cardboard? Just
something something to think about. Undrafted players

390
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:07,680
says. The prices of these new
products, these new product sports cars are

391
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,160
just ridiculous, too expensive. Totally
agree with that, saying, go ahead.

392
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:17,319
You know the fact, you know
when everybody was buying up everything during

393
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,359
the pandemic, and you know,
selling it for all these crazy prices,

394
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,039
all even just even the retail and
now the retails come back now and it's

395
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,440
like thirty thirty five dollars for a
blaster. And of course, Mike you

396
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,200
were talking about now that they've got
the extreme value at Walmart and now they're

397
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,319
back down to where they should be
at twenty bucks. Everybody was trying to

398
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,279
cash in. I think prices are
going to have to come down just a

399
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:42,920
little bit. It's just it's you're
right, it's it's it's exorbitant right now

400
00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:48,480
for sure, are you Mike?
Uh see? You don't buy any like

401
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,640
stuff new product? Correct? I
haven't since probably April. I've had a

402
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,480
New Year's resolution to not buy any
wax this year. And I think maybe

403
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:03,559
buy three blasters, okay, which
is a lot fewer than I bought last

404
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,839
year. Gotat I just want to
go ahead. I was just gonna say

405
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:14,680
so that diet didn't go very good
either. Yeah, and I think I've

406
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,079
gotten an autograph and all three of
the blasters I've bought, I've bought,

407
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,079
which you know, and then each
of the autographs, I think, oh

408
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,880
wow, an autograph on card autograph
first bowman and I looked them up in

409
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,960
the worth three dollars because there's so
many of them. That's tough. That's

410
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,200
what I was going to ask as
like, so when you're opening the blasted,

411
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,160
how you open in it with the
thought process and like like this is

412
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,920
probably not going to be good as
you know, as you as you're ripping

413
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,839
the wax before you even get into
the actual box. Yeah, it's it's

414
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,160
so difficult, and difficult isn't the
right word. That makes it seem like

415
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,640
they're skill involved. It's so rare
to actually if you're blasters thirty or thirty

416
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,720
five dollars to get back thirty or
thirty five dollars worth of cards, that's

417
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:56,640
that's tough. But like you gotta
remember, like when you opened the pack

418
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,880
as a kid, you were so
excited just to open the pack, and

419
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,160
now you're just hoping to break even. I don't know, it's it's the

420
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,519
mindset is so weird on that.
Yeah. I mean, since I collect

421
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,880
Nascar, I don't worry about trying
to get my money back. I do

422
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,000
it just purely for fun, uh
you know, and I like to make

423
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:15,519
videos of it, so that that
to me, that's that's the fun part

424
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:19,799
for me. There's definitely value in
opening boxes. You know, you have

425
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,480
the fun experience, especially if you
do it with your kids, where maybe

426
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:26,039
if you get back fifteen or twenty
dollars worth of cards, it's still worth

427
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:30,079
it because you had had a great
time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

428
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,279
that's true. They're just the experience
of opening cards. I see some guys

429
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,319
are saying there's no retail in their
area. You guys see in retail in

430
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:40,640
your areas tons of it. Yeah, me too. All sports. Well

431
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:44,119
yeah, the two wal marts that
are closest to me have gotten rid of

432
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,759
cards completely. They have no no
cards. So Target is really my go

433
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,880
to place now if I want to
go get a blaster or something. But

434
00:28:52,119 --> 00:28:53,799
of course with with racing it,
I don't, I don't. I don't

435
00:28:53,799 --> 00:29:00,359
get the the fifty different baseball issues
a month, like like base ball does,

436
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,319
which I don't know how how baseball
collectors keep up with that. But

437
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,519
you know, we only get like
five a year or five releases a year

438
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:10,119
or so. It's not like we
get a lot. I actually think that's

439
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:11,799
a good thing. I think it
is too. I think I think that's

440
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,400
it's an oversaturation of the market right
now. I mean, I know that

441
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,200
they're paying a lot for these licenses, and they're trying to maximize, uh,

442
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,079
you know, everything to try to
you know, get there, get

443
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:26,000
their money's worth out of these licenses. But I mean at some point it

444
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:30,079
just gets ridiculous. Yeah, that's
fair, Yeah, definitely, I mean

445
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:33,119
I agree, I don't know how
guys keep up with twenty thirty forty releases

446
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,920
a year, like, I mean, how do I mean? Look,

447
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,759
I mean we just said that you
have bowming this week and and Alan get

448
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:40,839
into next week. So I mean, if you're in that world, man,

449
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,799
how do you how do you navigate
that? And and also knowing that

450
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,079
if you buy a box, more
often than not, you're not even going

451
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,519
to get the value back out of
the box that that you bought. So

452
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,480
well, you know, I remember
back when I was a kid back in

453
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,279
the seventies. You know, we
knew that sometime in April the baseball cars

454
00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:00,759
were going to come out. We
didn't know when they were going to come

455
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,599
out. We just when we saw
them in the stories, when we knew

456
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:06,880
that they were out, you know. So you know, unlike today where

457
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,839
we know exactly when things are going
to be released or delayed or whatever's gonna

458
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,680
happen. But you know, back
then, it was just like, oh,

459
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,839
gosh, let's go to the store
today. We're gonna have some cards.

460
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,359
Oh no, we don't. Oh
we got them today. It's you

461
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,960
know, so that that was some
excitement there as well. Yeah. Yeah,

462
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:25,359
the old thrill of the chase,
thrill of the hunt. Yea.

463
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,039
And of course I get him my
bike and go to go to there was.

464
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,680
We actually had a store when I
lived in Louisville, Kentucky, when

465
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,119
I was a kid, called Convenient, and that was the closest place.

466
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,039
And of course I wasn't even supposed
to go there on my bike, but

467
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,480
I wanted baseball cards so badly that
I would just, you know, sow

468
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:45,480
caution to the wind and get my
bike and get on these busy streets and

469
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:49,759
go there. So I guess I'm
lucky. I'm alive right now. That's

470
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,839
where we picked up your passion for
racing. Yep, I guess. So

471
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,279
that's great. So let's talk a
little cars man? My, what are

472
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,519
you other than what are you kind
of collecting these days or things like that?

473
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:08,319
Would you? Yeah, I've barely
bought anything since the National. I

474
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,759
spent for me a lot of money
in the Nationally. You see these people

475
00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:15,799
talking in the comments about kids with
ten thousand dollars. I can't fathom spending

476
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:19,440
ten thousand dollars even in a year
on cards, let alone at one show.

477
00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:23,839
But I do enjoy through the mail
autographs TTM. And I'm also a

478
00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:30,839
big collector of Perez steel, Don
Russ Diamond Kings autographs, of Hall of

479
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,400
Famers. So I got this Gym
Rice back in the mail this week,

480
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,319
and I got this Ryan Sandberg back
in the mail this week. So I

481
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,640
cleared twenty percent of all the Hall
of Famers for those fifteen years. And

482
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:48,839
then I got my first ever redemption
X fractor of Ryan Mountcastle autograph first X

483
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:53,599
fractor too. It's number two one
twenty five. So that's why I got.

484
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,960
I know, the guy in Baltimore, I might be interested in that.

485
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,160
I know. I showed him then
he jumped through the screen. No,

486
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:07,720
mount Castle is kind of he's a
little older. You've got Gonnor Henderson

487
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,599
and Adlee Ruschman now, and they
just called up their latest, their number

488
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,920
three prospect. I don't remember who
that is off the top of my head,

489
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,319
but they just called him up this
week too, So Mount Castle's old

490
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:22,599
news. Gotcha, gotcha? That's
cool. Before you continue to go here,

491
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,759
Rex says there's too much focus on
immediate ROI on the cards that come

492
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,960
from a box. The reality is
we don't know which brookies from a given

493
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,960
box might become great years from now. That's fair, Yeah, I mean

494
00:32:32,079 --> 00:32:37,680
often does that happen? So few
rookies will become great. That's true too,

495
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:43,440
that's so true. I'm seeing a
comment from two six kid you wanting

496
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,319
to know where I lived in Louisville. I lived in South Louisville. It

497
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,960
was near like New Cut Road and
Old Third Street that area. So just

498
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640
so you know, there you go. See silver Fox says, my ripping

499
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,200
is for pure enjoyment, like the
movies, and I may get a return

500
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:01,720
possibly. This labor day was a
weekend family rip. Now we are building

501
00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:06,519
the twenty twenty three Top Space set
with inserts and relics, core memories.

502
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,720
That's awesome, that's great, that
is great. It's just like I said,

503
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:13,680
I don't know how often we see
that with some younger collectors, because

504
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,640
I mean they're running around the show
just kind of looking at flip cars and

505
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,960
all that stuff. But that that
is the kind of the like say,

506
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:23,359
the the base of the hobby.
You know that you're ripping cars and just

507
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,000
building memories and thinking back of remember
we sat in the back porch and we

508
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,960
were ripping stuff, and it's like
that fifteen cards short of the twenty twenty

509
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,839
three Top Space set, Silver Fox. So maybe we can Oh there you

510
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,640
go, reach out, there you
go. Kevin says, nice pick up

511
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:45,119
on the mount Castle, owas eight
os are are seeh I was like,

512
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,680
Olways are going to be good for
a while. Good young talent with huge

513
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,599
contract with no huge contracts. Yeah, that's that's except the owner has talked

514
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,759
openly about how he can't pay his
players. Yeah. Sorry, he says

515
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,400
he can't pay them. He just
refuses to pay them. Yeah, because

516
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,279
I always tell I tell Danny that, I said, you guys are fine,

517
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:07,079
but then don't let them all go
to New York. So it's like

518
00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:08,920
open up the wallet there and make
it happen, man. I mean the

519
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,360
fact that the Orioles are back,
you know good. I think it's cool,

520
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,920
man. I think that's a really
nice stadium there and all that stuff.

521
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,360
So Silver's asking you which which series? He goes, I have three

522
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,960
extra sacks full of Series two.
Yeah, email me you know my email

523
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:29,079
address? There you go. I
think of that nice nice trade live on

524
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:31,119
there? Anything else, Mike,
you want to share? Nope, those

525
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:36,119
are the only three things I've picked
up in weeks. Gotcha? Gotcha?

526
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,000
Logan, where do you where you
at with any pickups or just cards?

527
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:42,760
Do you want to talk about anything
like that? Yeah? I want to

528
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,719
show this card real quick. This
is a T sixty eight Davy Crockett card.

529
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,119
You know, I want to,
I want to. I've I've had

530
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,719
this for a little while. There's
been a lot of chatter on Twitter about

531
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:59,679
Jefferson Burdick, who is the father
of the hobby, And the good thing

532
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,480
about this card is this card was
actually owned by Jefferson Burdick. And if

533
00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:07,000
you people know anything about the history, he stamped all his cards and if

534
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,800
you see on the back there's it
says Jeff b and let me I can

535
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,480
turn it upside down. You can
probably see up here where it says Jeff

536
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:19,760
It says jeff Burdick right there.
He stamped it twice with his stamps.

537
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,719
So this is a card that was
actually at one point in his collection.

538
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:27,920
So I think that's a really really
neat card to have, and I've got

539
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,360
to get it. I've got to
get it out of this SGC holder and

540
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,559
get it into a PSA holder.
It's nice though, that's a very nice

541
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,880
like nice centering there and yeah,
very nice. So yeah, I'm hoping

542
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,079
to get it with a pedigree on
it where it says the Jefferson Burdick Collection

543
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,719
from PSA. I was actually talking
to them at the National about it,

544
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,519
so hopefully we can get that done. So if anybody from PSA is watching

545
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,639
or listening, hit me up.
I got a couple of comments on the

546
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:59,840
address, two people saying I'm not
a collector, so first of all,

547
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:01,960
and I think the best comment comes
from word down below, no one wants

548
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,760
to collect valueless trash. It's just
that there's so much junk in the ultra

549
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,800
modern boxes that I'm not Yeah.
Sure, I've talked about getting the value

550
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,679
back, it's just that there's nothing
in there that I want. My point

551
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:22,400
is, by buy singles instead of
opening up the stuff where you're not going

552
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,079
to get your favorite player because a
blaster now you're gonna get like twenty eight

553
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:29,519
cards, and what are the chances
of you getting the cards of the players

554
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,559
you want? And then if you
don't, you've got to sell them to

555
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:36,159
try to get your money back because
you don't want those players. So I

556
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,559
buy singles. Yeah, it's that's
fair. Yeah, it's it's just in

557
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,320
this comment here is is if you're
worried about the roa ROI on a box

558
00:36:44,599 --> 00:36:47,280
of cards, are you a collector? Probably not. That's a good that's

559
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,360
a good Yeah, that's a good
point, because you know, I get

560
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,440
people all the time, you know, when they find out that collect cards.

561
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,199
Of course, they see all the
all the stuff on the news about

562
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,960
all these you know, six figure, seven figure cards. Right, So

563
00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:02,760
they asked me, oh, you
collect cards, you must it must be

564
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,079
worth a lot of money. How
much do you think your collections worth?

565
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,599
I'm going, I honestly have no
idea. I collect because I'm a collector

566
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:14,239
and I have fun with it,
and I don't I don't and anybody knows

567
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,079
me knows that I do not sell
anything. Yeah. Yeah, so you're

568
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:22,079
just that's the thing too. It's
like sometimes we get cut up on this

569
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,880
value stuff. But there's also something
to be said just collecting for the sake

570
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,440
of collecting and having somewhere. You
know, maybe you go in your basement

571
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,199
or wherever you have your stuff and
you just chill out for a while and

572
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,960
you admire this stuff that you have. It just I don't know, it's

573
00:37:36,039 --> 00:37:38,039
it can't be escape too. It
doesn't always have to be all about the

574
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:43,679
ROI stuff. So I agree.
I get a peaceful, easy feeling when

575
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,920
I'm sorting cards. Yeah. There
you go. Yeah. Yeah, there's

576
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,599
something to be for that. Yeah. Yeah, it's therapeutic for some for

577
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:53,960
some people, Mark says, always
buy singles, have never bought cards from

578
00:37:53,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Walmart or Target. He's right,
But what I'm in NASCAR, so I

579
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,320
really don't have a lot of choice
of not not buying some of the new

580
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,480
stuff if I want to get some
cards. So I'm kind of stuck any

581
00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:12,000
other cards they're logan, Oh,
yeah, I've got all kinds of cards.

582
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,079
Shortage of that, right, No, no, shortage of that can't

583
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,320
be any better than that one,
though, Logan, Yeah, no,

584
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,360
I should. I should have saved
this one for last. You know,

585
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,199
I am a bowling guy. I
used to bowl a lot when I was

586
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,519
a kid. And Leif had this
card right here of Kyle Troupe, and

587
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:35,760
if anybody who knows Kyle Troupe,
he's got a big, a big fro.

588
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,519
So he signed it and says,
fear the Fro. I love that

589
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:45,199
card. It's just so cool,
and he has a pro pick and he'll

590
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,159
he'll whip it out when he's bowling. It's kind of a gimmick, but

591
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,840
it's still kind of it's still kind
of cool, So I like that car

592
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,480
from the league. Yeah, a
lot of criticism for Leaf, but they

593
00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:57,079
do cool things like that. They
get people that you wouldn't normally find in

594
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,000
card sets and they get them to
sign them with cool inscription. Oh I

595
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:07,639
know. And then then there here's
this Portland Pickles card from it's their mascot,

596
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:14,159
Dylan T. Pickle, And I
just love this card just because it's

597
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,880
just so funny. It's just a
great card. That is good stuff.

598
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:21,760
Yeah, Dylan, Dylan Pickles she
has. When I saw those on Leaf,

599
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,880
I said, I gotta buy those. Those are just just too cool.

600
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,239
Something else I've got here that I'll
show real quick is, you know,

601
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,199
back when PSA first started, of
course they they slabbed up some sample

602
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,480
cards and they're kind of hard to
find now. But I've had this one

603
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,800
for a little bit and it's uh
nineteen, it says nineteen eighty two tops

604
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Rawley Fingers sample. It's it's it's
a PSA sample and it shows you where

605
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,599
the grade would be, and they
put a at the time, they put

606
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:52,599
a fake certain number on there,
but I think that certain number is actually

607
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:55,840
taken now by a real card.
Wow, So that sart is not you

608
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,480
know, not valid but that was
that was a sample that p they gave

609
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:02,039
out just to say, hey,
this is what what what our slaves are

610
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:07,480
gonna look like. So that's crazy. Wow, that's cool. Good.

611
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,440
So you don't see those very often. Yeah, that's definitely cool. Let

612
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:16,039
me get some of these comments real
quick here. Uh Logan uh sos Logan

613
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:20,840
is a true collector and then I'll
just send me let me go out of

614
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,199
order here real quick. But one
Million Cups Project says I'm a false collector

615
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:30,679
because I sell cards and care about
their value. Go bo, you go.

616
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,559
Yeah, It's always funny to see
that debate. I'm like, you

617
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:37,440
know, you can't care about the
values of your cards and collect itself.

618
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,880
Uh. Nicolat has a question here
for you, Mike. What are the

619
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,519
junk wax era is worth looking in
for an NBA and MLB in it collection?

620
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,599
Yeah, but that's a tough one. There's not a lot. Just

621
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,239
having investments in your name tells me
that you're probably looking for high value cards.

622
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:58,360
There's not a lot. You gotta
look for high grade, rare like

623
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,039
the eighty four Don Russ Don Mattingly
in a PSA ten. It's extremely rare.

624
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:07,719
Eighty four Fleer Update, Roger Clemens
and Kirby Kirby Puckett in tens uh

625
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:14,920
tip tops, Tiffany in tens of
the top players those are there's just not

626
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:19,800
a lot that's rare. Yeah,
it's almost like maybe within that stuff on

627
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:22,599
card autos of things like that,
you know, high grade things like,

628
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:24,960
yeah, you can probably find some
diamonds in the rough, but yeah,

629
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,760
you definitely gotta really gonna have to
dig through because for the most part it's

630
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,719
it's a lot of all the same
stuff. So just little outliers like that.

631
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,159
Definitely, Yeah, Orlando says the
Tiffany stuff. So yeah, it

632
00:41:36,159 --> 00:41:46,000
looks like Cooters calling out bow Yes, a nice try anything else? Logan,

633
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,360
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I collect I don't

634
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,840
collect football, but I do collect
some football. Okay, this two thousand

635
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:00,760
and four CFL card of Charles Asman. You can figure out the reason I

636
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,519
got this card, right, Seinfeld
episode about it. Yeah, part time

637
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:14,159
proctologist, yep. But I do
have on the PSA set registry, I

638
00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:20,559
do have a showcase called My Sophomoric
Slab Showcase, and it's all cards that

639
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,599
have funny names or funny pictures.
So of course this card went is going

640
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:30,039
has gone into my sophomore slab showcase. I like cards like that, you

641
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:35,880
know, Now, do you have
saved searches for stuff like that? Some

642
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,920
of them? I do, yes, because they're so hard to find.

643
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:44,760
That's great, that's great. Uh
So they're asking you, Logan said,

644
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,320
why would you want to put that
card in a PSA holder? That card

645
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:52,599
looks perfectly in that SGC holding,
Because I'm a PSA guy. Here you

646
00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:58,519
go, I've got I've got like
slab cards, so I'm not I'm not

647
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:04,159
changing now. Wow. Yeah,
uh so I don't remember now was that

648
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,079
one of the older SGC slabs and
labels? Uh? Yeah, it's it's

649
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:12,159
older, it's got it's the green
label it's got. Ye see, I've

650
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:16,559
never been able to figure out,
yeah, the twenty means and all that

651
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:21,960
stuff. That just that that just
confused me as a collector. So yeah,

652
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:25,119
I tend to agree that if I
would put it in a new SGC

653
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:30,480
slab and label, but p s
A fine. Yeah, Well, like

654
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:31,639
I said, I want to get
the pedigree on it, so I think

655
00:43:31,679 --> 00:43:34,880
that would be cool. Yeah,
yeah, I think that would be cool

656
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,679
too. I mean, I'm with
you there with logan on slab uniformity.

657
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,639
I kind of liked them. Whatever
it is, I like them all to

658
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:44,320
look the same, whatever company it
is, for just me personally. I

659
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,760
just most of my cards are PSA, So I just ended up starting just

660
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:52,079
kind of funnel my way through that
I've had. I've had a crossover some

661
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:53,519
cards just to keep them all.
I like they all looked the same.

662
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:59,400
So yeah, I think I can
count on two hands the amount of Beckett

663
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:02,760
or See slabs that I've got.
It's just not very many. Yeah,

664
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:09,519
that's fair, all right, anything
else, sure, let me give this,

665
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:15,480
let me find one here, let's
see. Okay, I like this

666
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:19,159
when this one's funny, I like
this guy. This is a baseball card

667
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:25,280
nineteen seventy eight tops Mark Lemon Jello. Now, personally I like lime Jello.

668
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:30,719
Okay, I like the green Jello. But of course, again I

669
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,280
collected that because of the name,
and that's that's also in my showcase as

670
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,039
well. So yeah, pretty pretty
funny name. I had to pick that

671
00:44:38,119 --> 00:44:45,039
up. That's awesome. That is
good stuff. That's fine. I guess

672
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,000
I don't know what there is.
I mean, Don Russ Ripkin air,

673
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:52,679
yeah, clear, Billy Ripkin,
Yeah, I'm not sure clear card not

674
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:58,800
Don Russ, I'm not sure.
Tutter said, all slas are equal eyes

675
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:05,760
of his band Saw, So I'll
go just have a couple here, this

676
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,239
one actually sitting on this doctor Jay
here for a while now. Picked this

677
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:14,719
up at the one Philly show I
was after this. I had one before

678
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,320
and I ended up trading it.
Basically, I was gifting it to a

679
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:22,119
fellow collector and I was able to
us to recoup one back and this one.

680
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:24,719
If you know anything about this card
that there's usually a fish i around

681
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,239
his elbow and this one doesn't have
it. So I was happy to pick

682
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,079
that up. You know, not
bad for a lower grade, but like

683
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:35,800
I said, it doesn't have the
fish eye and color is pretty nice,

684
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:38,000
so overall, pretty pretty decent car. I was happy to pick this up

685
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:43,719
from at the two Philly shows ago. So that's nice. Yeah, that's

686
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,039
really cool. Yeah. Yeah.
When I was when I was a kid

687
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:51,960
growing up in Louisville, of course, we liked the Louisville Colonel's ABA team

688
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,719
and we had a Ginisell and artist
Gilmore and all those guys back then.

689
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:01,159
And I've got actually some of those
cards too, of theirs and those were

690
00:46:01,159 --> 00:46:06,360
the good old days, going to
Freedom Hall and Louisville. And I love

691
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,239
the basketball, the black, red, white and blue basketball. I always

692
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,079
thought that was so cool. Yeah, yeah, I know it's like the

693
00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:15,880
high flying dunking and all that good
stuff. So I hear you. Another

694
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,599
one I have so yesterday was Roberto
Clemented Day, and that is pretty much

695
00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:24,840
the bulk of MIC collecting stuff is
Clemente stuff. And this one is the

696
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:34,559
nineteen sixty two Bob Clemente and this
one actually has the Mike Baker I appeal

697
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,199
type deal. So I was happy
to pick this. This card's tough man

698
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,519
with this wooden border, and they
usually see the the edges kind of beat

699
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:45,800
up, so this one they picked
us up in the sixth I was happy

700
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,559
to get that. Yeah that's a
beauty and congrats on that. Yeah,

701
00:46:50,559 --> 00:46:52,079
thank you, thank you. Yeah, definitely, yeah. This was when

702
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:57,840
I saw this. This was one
of those where actually there was a podcast

703
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,360
the Shallowing Guy Iowa Dave, and
he was talking about what they call him

704
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,000
megabid, where you see a card
and you put in a real high bid

705
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:10,880
because you're like, I'm not gonna
lose this card and hopefully hopefully if I

706
00:47:12,159 --> 00:47:14,800
do lose this, I mean,
if I do lose this card, the

707
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,199
guys that's gonna win is gonna pay
a pretty penny for it. And this

708
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,840
was one of those cards where I
put in a pretty hefty bid and I

709
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,639
was like, oh man, I
hope it doesn't go that high, but

710
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,480
I kind of want to secure that. So let me see here, Eddie

711
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:32,679
says a collector, I never heard
of it. That's great, kid.

712
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,719
He's basically as fire fire free.
Now, yeah, I don't know.

713
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,599
That's ah, it's it's a good
thing if you ask me. I mean,

714
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:42,440
I don't know. It's one of
the better, one of the better

715
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,719
players, one of the better human
beings to ever grace the field. So

716
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:51,239
yeah, things so uh see.
Cooler said, love the solid color background.

717
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,840
That's why I think the fifty four
Redhearts are some of the beautiful,

718
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,840
most beautiful cars in vintage. I
agree with him on that. When I

719
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,480
was a kid trying to pick up
any Redhearts whatsoever, those those were so

720
00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:06,599
nice card, they were so nice. I just love those cards enough.

721
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,440
Silver Fox says he needs to fifty
seven Clemente for his set bill. Also,

722
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:12,840
he and I share a birthday.
We look at that very nice,

723
00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:15,440
very nice. Yeah, I'm I
think I'm down to like five or six

724
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:19,679
now. As I'm building the run, kind of got distracted a couple of

725
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,079
times. But for me, I
like to see these cards in hand because

726
00:48:22,079 --> 00:48:27,079
a lot of times they look a
lot better when on you on eBay or

727
00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:29,000
wherever it is, and then when
you get him in hand, he's like,

728
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,360
oh wow, they're not as sharp
looking as as they did as they

729
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:37,159
looked on the auction. So and
the last one I'll show is a gimmick

730
00:48:37,199 --> 00:48:42,440
that I fell for again I told
you, and this is here's a gimmick

731
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,719
with a color match. And this
is the Clemente twenty twenty one tops Chrome

732
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,880
Platinum Anniversary. This is the black
and gold refractor. This one's actually out

733
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,000
of ten and I just I actually
built this rainbow again knowing that I know

734
00:48:55,079 --> 00:49:00,880
that it's not going to be worth
millions and millions of dollars tomorrow or anytime

735
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,000
soon, but I think it looks
cool. And again it's kind of goes

736
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:07,719
back to like collect what you like, collect what you love, and it

737
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,760
doesn't really matter. So yeah,
that black gold border looks pretty cool.

738
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,679
And of course it's the retro fifty
two tops, So that's a cool card.

739
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,679
I'm not gonna do that. I
think I think it's pretty cool,

740
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,639
man. That's why I like the
Yeah it's got the fifty two tops kind

741
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:25,199
of flavor. And yeah, it
just uh, like I said, some

742
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,639
of the stuff I do when I
see it. Oh, I like that,

743
00:49:28,679 --> 00:49:31,199
but again I know that I'm buying
it, and I take my time

744
00:49:31,559 --> 00:49:36,400
and get out of a decent price
because again it's kind of other than maybe

745
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,920
to another Clementic collector's not going to
be you know, highly sought after.

746
00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:44,000
So but guys, that's pretty much
all I have for today before we leave,

747
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:46,599
Mike, any closing thoughts, things
coming up in the hobby or show

748
00:49:46,679 --> 00:49:51,920
all that stuff. That's a big
card show in Portland, Maine next Saturday.

749
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,039
And when I say big and Maine
and the same sentence, they don't

750
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:59,519
mean the same as for you guys
are probably but it is one of the

751
00:49:59,519 --> 00:50:02,360
bigger show is in Maine. So
I'm looking forward to that next Saturday.

752
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,159
Sain next Saturday. Yeah, I'm
actually heading to I'm actually heading to Vermont

753
00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:14,320
next Saturday with the with the wife, So I don't know, get Yeah,

754
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,199
I might be a little far.
I kind of looked up some local

755
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,639
card shops to see if we're going
to be in and around the area,

756
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:23,079
So it's I always try to squeeze
in maybe a little a little card action

757
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:28,400
on a vacation. Yeah, next
weekend is the Philly show at all.

758
00:50:28,639 --> 00:50:35,159
But the Philly Show is a little
bigger than the Portland show. Maybe maybe

759
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,119
maybe, But Mike, where can
they find you? You and your content

760
00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:43,000
here on YouTube channel name is junk
wax Hero. I'm also on Instagram and

761
00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:46,440
Twitter, but I don't really do
much on Twitter enough logan Well, later

762
00:50:46,519 --> 00:50:50,039
on today or actually as soon as
we get done here, I'm going to

763
00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:52,480
head to a card show, the
Mid South Card Show, and it's kind

764
00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,920
of like what what Mike said.
It's not a huge show. It's probably

765
00:50:57,199 --> 00:51:00,239
sixty tables at best on a good
day. So that's where I'm heading.

766
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,199
Then I'll probably stop him my LCS, which is literally gonna be around the

767
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,440
corner from where they're having the show, and probably drop by Chick fil A

768
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:13,199
and get me some more sweet tea. So that's gonna That's gonna be my

769
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,159
day today for the most part.
And then we've got the Bristol Race Night

770
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,679
Race tonight. So if any of
you want to see a really good NASCAR

771
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,360
race, the Bristol Night Race is
probably one of the best races, uh

772
00:51:25,639 --> 00:51:30,000
that NASCAR has every year. So
I would tune in and it'll be on

773
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:34,679
I think it's on USA maybe whatever
channel. But he had something on the

774
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,199
tea. Well, is that a
Chick fil A cup behind you? Logan?

775
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:42,960
Yeah? Absolutely, brother, I
got got sweet tea. We have

776
00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:45,840
one Chick fil A in Maine and
the line is outrageously long. Every time

777
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,559
I've been once they have two drive
throughs, which is not something you see

778
00:51:50,559 --> 00:51:53,519
in Maine. Yeah, well,
that's amazing that you only have one in

779
00:51:53,559 --> 00:51:57,599
the whole state. As far as
I know, there's only one. Yeah,

780
00:51:57,639 --> 00:52:00,320
oh my gosh, that's new.
It's been there for a couple of

781
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:06,960
years. Wow. Whoever owns mad
is gonna make a mint? Yeah sure,

782
00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:09,039
Logan. I can definitely sign off
on the Bristol Night Race. I

783
00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:13,719
was able to attend a few years
back and it was awesome. And that

784
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,920
was back before they put dirt,
So yeah, no dirt tonight. It's

785
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,000
all okay, cool cool. Yeah, So that's definitely fun. I mean,

786
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,039
if you like to see crashes.
That's the race for you. That

787
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:27,880
is the race, man. They
will be. They will be running into

788
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,519
each other and crashing like crazy tonight, especially since it's a playoff race,

789
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:37,440
so it'll be it'll be crazy.
Fair enough. So apparently mads hate chicken,

790
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:46,760
but they have and uh, you
can catch me on the Cousins Collectibles

791

793
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,760
