Joe Day dropping curse words today like they were Optic Downtowns! Give us a NSFW warning next time! 😂😂

Yeah I agree with EP on the downtown situation. Breakers often open products by the case (especially FOTL) so they’re more likely to end up seeing something like this in the hobby.

I'm conducting a 72-hour audit of Mike's Retro Trading Cards transcripts to determine how many curse words and Seinfeld references have been made before I call the FBI on Joe Day.

It’s like Oprah. Downtown for you, downtown for you, downtown for you. I need to buy a blaster from Wal-Mart so I can get some Downtowns……..

Hope you're feeling better EP. And those turtle stickers were definitely not from me, haha. My bad, been meaning to make that correction earlier.

Awesome EP, I am so happy for the three of you to have each other.

Just enjoying EP video at 9 am when sirens blast outside. I ran to front window i’m in large apartment complex. Police,Ems,Fire and rescue. The went in and out untill finally the Allegheny county corner arrived i knew what that ment. Really old dude just moved in last month had passed. You never know what you going to get in EP’s Extra innings. 😮

Nice haul EP happy you shared. Had to go see if I had a Griffey bound for glory and I have one. I had forgotten how detailed the 3D is. Great card!

How long did assembly take

Congrats on the grades! Are you putting together a graded 89 Score set? Or just grading the important cards? Are you trying to get a certain grade for the graded cards?

Cool stuff EP! Get welll soon!!

You really made out well. So glad you had fun and hopefully are feeling better soon. Love the packs and the Spiderman card. Thanks for sharing, hope you have a great weekend.

Good stuff EP. Have to do a pack opening video.

Everyone boo Mike for slighting 90s Stadium Club (boooo, hissssss) Now that we got that out of the way, EP, you picked the wrong Never Compromise set. 1997 is infinitely better. Better design, some neat texturing and foil. And a mis-mash of absolutely fantastic photos (Steve Young, Slash, Emmitt, Deion running a route, and DT sacking Elway) combined with meme-worthy rookie photography. From Pat Barns looking like he's teaching Kevin Lockett swahili, to Kevin Lockett looking like someone is calling him about his car insurance on the sideline, to Warrick Dunn looking like someone gave their helmet to a kid, to Kenny Holmes looking like the waiter gave him extra spicy wings instead of medium, to an epic ass shot of Darrell Russell. It is fantasticly 90s.

Love listening to you guys even if you are not just into baseball cards. When sellers throw like football or basketball cards in with my purchases I confess they are tossed into the trash.

My FAVORITE trading card show in the biz!!

Parking got better throughout the weekend thanks to the airport. They made them stop charging for parking because traffic was making people miss their flights. VIP pickup was a breeze Thursday morning. My buddy did not have fun waiting in line outside everyday. I waited for him inside😂 I kept getting turned around in the big room. I believe it’s because all of the corporate stuff was stuffed in the back so the floor didn’t have many markers, just a huge room with the same looking tables. Brought my own food, water, and beer. Had a cooler in the car which made for a nice midday fresh air break. Bathrooms lines weren’t too crazy after Thursday and were relatively clean comparatively. Wore jeans comfortably except in the corners of the room. Nothing like last year. Internet wasn’t great, but if you were persistent it got there. I didn’t utilize my vip perks enough, but walking right in was worth every penny. Can’t wait for next year!!!

Bummed I missed you boys in Cleveland. I would’ve felt horrible if I shared the Covid I scooped up, however. My wife is thrilled. Can’t wait to hear about it every time I leave for the National for the rest of my life🙃

Mike was the front runner, but then he was mean to EP. Joe wins with the hand numbered.

Hitting an insert back then was like hitting an auto today……..

Joe Day wins but he got the card from Mike, so Mike wins.

A pack with all autographs? Is that on Backyard Breaks? Or did people use CT scanners to find them?

Thank you for getting up early on a Friday to bless us.

Could you put comps up when you reveal the cards for novices like myself?

Really nice job - congrats!!

When does EP start his pre grading service. I’m in $$$

Nice return! Man, EP should screen all my cards before submitting! 😂😂😂

Really nice submission. I'd say you two did really well on this one. Thanks for sharing, Mike. Hope you have a great day.

Mike going to roll up to that next card show in an Escalade courtesy of Caitlin Clark.

Hey did you think the show was worth watching?

Nice accurate grades, gentlemen! It was great to see you all there Thursday and Friday!

Ladies & gentlemen, here’s yet another example of how the card industry could benefit from emulating the world of Star Trek… true, every year in Vegas there’s a huge Trek convention, however they also go from city to city - so why doesn’t the National become a traveling show?? Like a 20 city convention tour over 52 weeks, from coast to coast?? Bring the Natty to the people - it’s only logical 🖖🏼

I would have to give it a 5 as well based on the same factors/my experience: - Parking/getting into location: 2 (a lot of the issues with flow into the show stemmed from with the lack of enough parking staff) - Admissions: 6 (I got in and out relatively quickly (15 minutes or less) but it just wasn't intuitive and could be done faster with more staff) - Show layout: 7 (relatively intuitive, no real complaints) - Food: N/A - Prices: 8 (obviously there are some ridiculous sticker prices on the floor but there's wiggle room or better prices from other dealers) - Bathrooms: 4 (I got in and out relatively quickly but I think I just got lucky) - A/C: 8 (I wore pants on Thursday and I had no complaints even though I usually run pretty warm) - Internet: 2 (struggled a while to get signal to pull up ticket QR code and to pull up PayPal) - Seating: 3 (obviously not enough but the chairs against the wall were great for a little breather) - VIP: N/A

I had no issues with the wifi myself. Maybe because I have a Samsung Galaxy G6.

Good overview

I'll go when they stop putting these events in hell holes with no AC, bathrooms, internet connection, nearby hotels and other basic needs.

wait, you had to wait in a line to get your vip ticket? the MN card show VIP passes you get it emailed right to you and print it off to hand to the person when you get there and in you go. seems the National could figure out something with this technology we have of email / printers ...

When it took me 2 hours to drive the last 1/2 mile (yes, you read that correctly), I didn’t feel very VIP……….

It sounds like it was nice overall, but lots too improve on.

Great guys

46:01 Mike, to your point about a casino 🎰 with fake odds suffering the market consequences of being shady, I’m here with Quark of, well, Quark’s on the promenade of Deep Space Nine and he’s got a Dabo Wheel that’s just dying to disagree with you 🖖🏼

Hey guys, I’m here with the BGS Authentication team and they’d like to know if you’d like to upsize your value meals for just $1.49 more Beckett = 💀

Mike how much to scan my future 90 Pro Set boxes?

Remember that Seinfeld episode in which Jerry gave his friend, Richie, an intervention? Well gang, it's time to help Joe Day overcome his Wolverine box addiction. Just give me the signal and we can have him committed to the best facility.

If it is altered, who the heck has the guts to do that to a card like that?

I would certainly be pissed finding out they claim that auto is fake after they said it was good. Makes me trust Beckett even less. They will pay $5 to the guy or offer a free grading submission for one card. People are foolish enough to pay anything at this point when it comes to cards(scanning, weighing, or whatever ridiculous thing they will come up with). Of course EP was the one trying to get everyone to drink lol. Glad to hear you guys had a great time. We need video showed of the Fireball dance lol. What a shock Fanatics would be trying to get Marvel from Upper Deck. Is there anything they won't have? Next will be the Upper Deck company all together.

I love how at the 24 minutes in Mike tells Joe we are going to talk about his case of cards at the part about the national -- umm guys -- i think I've been listening to national talk for 24 minutes -- was this not the part :)

I waited 5 hours to drop off cards to get graded at Beckett…..5 HOURS!!!!!

It was great seeing you at the National and Mike Jones….
