@@tinaferrazzoli8006 I never saw an ABA game. We had no team here and they had no national contract. But I read about it in the sporting news. My dad got it. Plus I had a red white and blue ball. All kids did.

@@BobbyGass5 hahaha! They were no Caroenters.

@@Paneeks1960 Rob, I collect cards because of the stories. They don’t have to be valuable. I just like what they represent.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 Duck, Joe Hassett, Lee Winfield, Bud Stallworth, Lucius Allen, Pete Cross, Dennis Awtrey, etc. Grsat era. I remember them all. My earliest sports memories are of the SuperSonics. Long before the Mariners or Seahawks. I was around before the pilots. But I am too young to remember them. My memory starts in 1974.

@@BobbyGass5 when Seattle first came into the nfl it was easier to keep rooting for Oakland as Seattle was in the nfc. But we switched in year 2 and ended up in the afc west with Oakland. Baseball wise it was similar. No interleague play then so Philly and Seattle didn’t play. But the Sonics? They were there from the moment I can remember watching sports. Hondo was a great player. I remember both titles they won in the 70s.

You really do know your Celtics Bobby. Curious. Did you ever see them play at the old Garden? I will dig up some of my Championship cards sometime that coach Bill Fitch gave to me. <> Bird was amazing. As was Cousy. Cousy could really shoot~ Rob/Boston

@@Paneeks1960 Morning Rob. I never been to a game Rob but I been watching them on TV since about 1959-60 so yeah I seen them play in the old Garden. Funny how I always loved the Boston Celtics and the Boston Patriots but never liked the Bruins.... The fans are animals. Smile.

@@fragarach44 thank you very much.

@@dixielandfarm it’s a classic. I’ve been trying to score them as I find them. The documentary was fascinating.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 I liked them too. I liked the SD version of the Clippers as well. Why does LA have two and Seattle 0? Thanks a million Steve Balmer. Way to run out on the city.

@@dixielandfarm it was secret to my success. We just bought cassettes. Cheaper. Easier to tote.

@@BobbyGass5 I think a lot of franchises then weren’t good to their players. I did know you played with many of these guys. What a sad end for Harvey. I didn’t know that. Eventually I’ll get around to doing the Leafs too. But I think I’m going to do the ABA’s Memphis franchise next.

@@jd66cards I agree. If you’re just collecting? Perfect way to acquire on the cheaper end. I wish I had your eye. You find great cards super cheap but they end up grading well.

@@Paneeks1960 hi Rob. Tony C. I should have shown one of his cards. That’s a true what might have been story. He was on his way to the HOF. I think next one I’ll show cards from Les Canadiens. I’ve shown most of my cool Bruins. Though I know Montreal is a big Boston rival.

@@BobbyGass5 Bobby, I swear your story is so amazing. I know people have encouraged you to write a book. They’re not wrong. Do I know that scene? Of course, it’s my favorite movie of all time. My Dad used to hustle pool back in the day. He and my uncle. Small time stuff. A way to earn a few extra bucks. I learned to shoot too. I was pretty good. Though I never played for money. But I haven’t held a stick in 30 years. Men were men indeed. I know time marches on and things change. But it doesn’t mean I have to like it. Thanks for sharing, Bobby. You’re a classy gentleman.

@@earheadsix4119 Yeah I gave hustling a shot too like your Dad and Uncle Bo. Too tough a go, people were leery. Toronto had a lot of pool halls with a lot of gambling going on but a stranger walking in and trying to get into a game for money was a definite red flag event. LOL... The book thingy? I had one guy from California that wanted to write it but when I told him I'd have to have last edit on it to protect some that are still living and their families he declined. Bo writing a book is not an easy task. I used to be an amateur writer and have a half finished novel of over a million words so I know what it entails. Short stories were my forte'. I've family that are published writers and they've read some of my stuff and said I should get myself published it's good. I can't be bothered too much hassle. I'm quite happy just being myself and enjoying life the way I want too. Besides, I'm RETIRED lol......

@@FlipSideCT I know Fear Strikes Out came out before Psycho. I was just trying to say who the actor was before I could think of his name. My favorite movie of his is Star in the Dust with Henry Fonda anyhow. Bobo Belinsky could certainly get around.

@@majorkelly4642 as for their output with EB? Top shelf. I think they had stronger consistency later without him.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 eb’s highlight with war.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 I think so too!

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 I have the first album too. But their version of codeine is my favorite.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 have you ever seen the movie? I think it starred Aldo Ray. It’s not bad. The Standells, Chicolate Watchband and sons of Adam are in it.

@@earheadsix4119 Hey Bo; I have seen the movie more than once. Both the Standells & the Chocolate Watchband add a musical presence to the movie.

@@BobbyGass5 one of the best. Interesting that it’s on Stax.

@@earheadsix4119 Interesting? Not really Bo. He knocked around the country under other labels making singles that never caught on so when he moved to Memphis he signed with Stax to make a bunch of 45s and they turned those into a comp album.

@@BobbyGass5 I miss Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada. I get CBC here and watch every Saturday night. My Dad and his Dad took a bus from Snohomish, WA to LA in 1963 and caught a 3 game set between the Braves and Dodgers. I have both teams pennants but a leak in my garage caused bad damage to the LA pennant. I still have it but don’t display it. They saw said players plus Spahn, Koufax and Drysdsle pitch.

@@earheadsix4119 Legends...

@@Milius47 I believe it. But I never did own the album. In fact? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it. But if I do? I’ll grab it based on your recommendation. Thanks.

@earheadsix4119 no worries. First song is Far Side of Crazy and there is a video on here.

@@kenscardboard I agree on both counts. 100%. I think the stats should count. I’d like to see the Whalers come back too.

@@Paneeks1960 Espo is a Blackhawk on the card. But also seen are the Orr and Milt Schmidt. I always liked Derek Sanderson. I think he personified cool. Giles Gilbert too. Were you a Shakey Walton fan? He became a bigger star in the WHA.

@@earheadsix4119 I was certainly a Mike Walton fan Bo. I do remember when he went to play in the WHA. He was a great hockey player. I remember him playing on the power play with Orr a few times. He could do it all. Sanderson was always my favorite center. Loved him on the drops. Faceoffs were super important to him and the team depended on him to get it back to Orr whenever he could. <> I used to sit with Woody Dumart. {I think I told you this before}. On occasion Milt would sit there too. I miss the original Garden~

@@billstill1794 I have the first two on vinyl. OG style.

@@BobbyGass5 it is. It’s graded a 1 so it’s far from perfect. But it’s still mine. I have a Gretzky rc too. But it’s a Topps not OPC. Plus it’s ungraded.

@@Paneeks1960 thanks Rob. I find with records I’m doing less impulse buying. More things that are getting multiple plays. If it is just sitting? It needs to go. Now hockey cards? Purely impulse. lol. Though I’ve been considering collecting old AFL cards too. But the rumors if the demise of vintage football hasn’t effected those old afl values yet.

@@jd66cards ah, I just thought if it. Secret to my success.

@@earheadsix4119 oh yea that's right!

@@BobbyGass5 ha! Hi Bobby. I’m no mob guy. Wouldn’t claim to be one. If you aren’t? That’s not a good idea. I just like pink and it was a gift. No peppers. They don’t do well for some reason. But tomatoes? You bet.

@@earheadsix4119 I grew up with Mob guys Bo. Yeah the Mafia. So I know what they wear. I was an Altar Boy and good friends with one and I am Godfather to the first born son of a Mob guy that was recruited and worked for the Gambino's. A very very good friend of mine. The boys tried getting me on board but I was always a lone wolf and not good at taking orders so I declined. Same with a motor cycle gang wanted me when I owned a chopper but like I said, I'm a lone wolf... I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but stayed relatively legal most of the time Bo.... The stories I could tell....

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 sports will always top music for me. Hit a pickle tonight. Seahawks are on MNF vs Detroit. Same time? Kraken are at Calgary but it is only preseason. But hockey is my favorite.

@@TheVinylGuru I had to clean up my act. I’d been wearing too many t shirts for my videos. It’s a good thing I don’t smoke. A pipe would have rounded out the look.

@@block-head2982 bonks d is a great store. Do so. Just up the street is a great little restaurant called Mestizo’s. Highly recommended as well.

@@billstill1794 I have purged a lot of that from my collection. I kept the stuff that speaks to me. Love, Doors, chocolate Watchband, Small Faces, WCPAEB, etc. I just find I didn’t need the albums for most of them. Just a song or two on the iPod suffices. My parents graduated in ‘64 and ‘65 respectively.

@@iblamesummers much appreciated.

@@dixielandfarm hahaha! My brothers friend Travis had the biggest crush on her. Yea, Indigoes. That’s the one. I need that in my collection.

@@BD_MEDIA. I started buying packs in 1975. But the first year I ever completed sets was 1977. I was talking cards not albums. I don’t have too many records from 1977.

@@earheadsix4119 Packs are fine, too! I'm there!

@@BobbyGass5 I remember Rusty. But I was more cognizant of him as a Tiger. You know who I really liked as an Expo? The Soaceman Bill Lee. Back when pitchers pitched. They’re all throwers now. I don’t enjoy the game as much as I used to. You know who was underrated as an Expo? Warren Cromartie.

@@earheadsix4119 Yeah everybody liked pot smokin' Bill Lee. LOL... Cromartie was a keeper for sure. For me all sports have lost their lustre. It's the athletes themselves that have ruined it for me.

@@Paneeks1960 hi Rob! Yes, I’m really enjoying the jazz reissues. I’m trying to take recommendations and listen to albums on my phone before making purchases. I wish I had done that when I was buying psych albums. I bought a lot of duds. lol.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 I play hoops but don’t watch anymore. Without the SuperSonics I listen to interest. But hockey? It’s my new favorite.

@@FlipSideCT holy shoot. That’s a gnarly injury. I hoop 2 days a week and run 4. But I’m definitely slowing down. I’ve got a few new hockey cards inbound. I’ll show when I get them. I was thinking about doing a 1977 retrospective through cards. We’ll see.

@@Avalonrick1 I appreciate the recommendation. Thanks. I once owned an OG Humility in the Eye of the Creator by Maurice McIntyre. I LOATHED that album. Definitely not my style.

@@dixielandfarm got some more today. Plus some Vclt. Video soon. I’m enjoying these tone poet blue not reissues. Found a clean blue note og today too.

@@Paneeks1960 Rob, how I missed this? Idk. I apologize. I too have been enjoying the Jazz. Lots of tone poet blue note reissues. My favorite errs on the lounge side of the spectrum. There is a card show this weekend but I blew my budget on records and ice cream. Oh well. lol.

@@tinaferrazzoli8006 folk pop rock! Perfect call. Thanks for that. My mind gets a bit fuzzy these days.

I respect that too. Carl Perkins is kind of list in the shuffle. Lots of those rock a Billy artists from then are. I’ll keep looking until I find one that has my fav: Dixie Fried.

@@allansgamingcheese indeed.

@@doodahdavesrecords4319 my friend bought a few of his personal albums. A few he played on were autographed
