Geoff, Thank you for taking the time to spend money, lug equipment, and get on a plane. Fantastic once-in-a-lifetime sit down with a world-class collection--- as well as an old-school character! We are losing these types of men in America and capturing this is a piece of history and nostalgia!! Cheers amigo!
Thank you for the extended version. His entire collection should be on display and some day possibly in a museum for historical purposes. It’s absolutely priceless and he spoke from the heart on his views of not just a numerical value as how the hobby is driven in todays world but the enjoyment of collecting in a different light. Great job!!
Not just your best video, but one of the top sports card and memorabilia videos ever made by anyone. Thanks Marshall and Geoff for sharing. So inspirational.
I’m enjoying every second of this.. it almost makes me weep because how much I’ve LOVED Baseball ever since my earliest memories, & even when I was 10, 11, 12 I loved the HISTORY of Baseball more than the present day. My friends and I would dress like old-tyme players when we were playing baseball in junior high & high school with the high socks etc and knew all the stats from the “Total Baseball” encyclopedia. My best friend’s favourite was Ruth, and mine was Ted Williams (still is) and we knew all the legendary stories about their careers. My bedroom at home was decorated like Cooperstown with little bats, framed photos of all the HOF’ers, I still have a glove from the 50’s in my room today, and have all the books about the origins of Baseball. I was born and raised Manitoba, 🇨🇦 so was always bummed growing up that I could never go to proper card shows in the US that everyone talked about. This whole vid touched me so deeply and this great, sweet, humble salt-of-the-earth guy who comes from immigrant working family - like my own, and who has climbed to the TOP of the American dream, is the perfect collector / enthusiast and you feel like he’s your uncle. ♥️👍 What a special collection SECOND TO NONE. He’s the King Solomon of Baseball History memorabilia if you ask me. Thank you for sharing this but I still wish it was longer! I wanted to hear Geoff gush some more about his favourite cards or pieces that stood out. Please find more collectors like this who TRULY TRULY LOVE the sport they collect - as opposed to crafty businessmen. 👏👏🏆💪🇺🇸♥️👍
I can't get ENOUGH of this!! I LOVE Marshall!! I would be SO HONORED to just sit and pick his brain for an hour...even if I never got to see a single card or piece of memorabilia from his collection. I would cherish just the time I could spend with this man.
Watching this never gets old. I love his collection of everything you seen. It’s like utopia. Look at the joy on his face. Like a kid in a candy store. This is what collecting is about. His collection, my collection and anyone’s collection. Just the joy of what we each collect. It’s not the value of our collection but the joy it brings
Sir, I work with Veterans, who battle PTSD. I’ve introduced them to the hobby, because hobbies are great for them. When we get together, we watch your videos, and are just awe struck. I try to get them cards, to collect, trade, etc….and am sometimes not able to….but, we have your videos! Thank you for all you do, Sir. Sincerely, LT Quinn Mallonee🇺🇸
Yeah until you start to support a channel who's shipper was dropping lsd and smoking meth while live on his own monetized youtube channel. @Thecardconomist @JohnnySlots @anypoliceofficer ever. Live card sales should be illegal, we as human's clearly can not be trusted to promote the right message. If there is room to make some profit, that is.
I rarely comment on videos, but this collection is beyond words!! Breathtaking in scope, quality and quantity! And, I love this man's love of the game! Awesome. Thanks!
PLEASE do more of these with this man. The stories and history are what make collectables. We need more of this instead of only talking modern investment 1/1's. There no substance to that. This is GOLD.
Wow, it’s been a long time since I have sat through a YT video longer than 30 minutes. I loved this episode. It is so interesting. I love how the focus was on the passion and not the money. Worth is an interesting stat but passion is so much more.
Simply amazing!!!!!!! We will never see a collection like this again. There are and will be will be many impressive collections. This one will be next to impossible to top! Thank you!
Marshall should absolutely be on your guys show every so often just to celebrate and listen to this guy. He is a serious gem!!!!! Love this episode. I think you and Marshall are absolutely special to this amazing crazy hobby. Thank you for this episode!
Absolute 5 star interview. What a SPECIAL collection. I wish the gentleman good health and happiness. We are only care takers of this history until the next person owns its
I’m with a lot of the comments on here! I sent this link to a lot of people. The story telling is extremely entertaining but said with so much intelligence! Unfortunately the hobby is all about money now. But Mr. Fogel said it best. It’s not about the money but what YOU value what you have. The $50 buyer is just important as the 2 million buyer. “Don’t worry about the money when you collect, worry about what you enjoy”- Marshall Fogel
What condition my condition was in. Truly a simple way of life has been pushed into the background of America and this gentleman should be listened to by as many young folk as possible. We don't need all the crap we are put thru today, just get back to basics and treat each other with dignity and things can improve.
Marshall has so many stories and remembrances that needs to be told before anything should ever happen to him. Hours and hours of amazing history that needs to be shared... I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that. I'm in my 60's and feel that that is what I'm suppose to do for my grandkids. Help teach significant history that has happened in my lifetime. Thanks to all involved in this endeavor. 👍👏
Even more than his collection, I loved Marshall Fogel the person in this video. Listening to him speak was both interesting and heartwarming. He seems like such a genuinely good person, and in a lot of ways reminds me of my own grandfather. I appreciate the chance to hear him talk about his life and his collection! I hope to hear from him again in the future.
WOW! Amazing collection , interview , content , individual , and experience. Thank you Marshall Fogel for sharing this iconic memorabilia collections plus your wisdom and knowledge. Geoff Wilson what restraint and composer you held during the card spread across the table was incredible. Absolute Gem Mint Pristine 10 interview. Thank you for allowing all to enjoy your experience .
He is exactly right. The point of doing this shouldn’t strictly be for business it would be for the love of the hobby. I absolutely loved watching this video and I’ve learned a lot. It’s just awesome looking at that stuff. I added to my bucket list that I want to meet him before he dies
Man. This is so awesome!!! These collectible artifacts remind me of my child hood and the joy I had in collecting my baseball memorabilia and cards. All I can say is fantastic and thank you for sharing this on video
This hit hard! My father passed away when I was 17. I would trade everything to have one more game of catch with him. Baseball is passed down my Grandfather and Father would argue who was better DiMaggio or Mantle. They would go at it they watched both play my Grand father as a child and later with my Father with Mantle. The great thing about baseball is old men and women reliving their childhood. The smell of the grass, the food, the drinks in the stands, hoping for a home run ball. The running around the neighborhood for money just to get into the cheap seats. Hearing those stories and seeing it through their eyes is the reason to love baseball. Oh and I learned real quick do not bring up Jeter in a DiMaggio/Mantle discussion. That is a sure fire way to go pull weeds in a flower bed in Texas in July!
I've watched this multiple times. It's such an unbelievable video. It's like nothing else, I just love this guy and his wisdom. He's like a kid, he's so proud of his collection yet you can see he is humble how he points out consistently how he was simply lucky to buy it when it wasn't desired. Love it, love it, love it.
I am 61 years old and collected most of my life . If the industry as whole would listen to this man of wisdom , card collecting can be enjoyed as it should .
This has to be absolutely one of the longest interviews I have ever watched and I watched it from beginning to end I wanna thank you cause it gave me it was great and it gave me a lot of insight and to now becoming a part of this hobby
You absolutely NEED to do more videos with him. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I didn't even realize it was an hour and a half. When it ended I was thinking it's over already???? More more more!
This gentleman is the G. O. A. T This was one of my favorite interviews in many years. He speaks words of wisdom. I would love to hear more history from him. He’s probably got some fantastic stories to tell us.
Just so darn awesome to see such awesome vintage content and such a historical collection. Stunning Thank you for posting the extended cut. Just such a rare glimpse into such a legendary collection
I just finished watching this a second time! I felt like I was listening to my grandfather tell me his war stories, which I absolutely used to love. Please give this guy more facetime!
We have all been very fortunate through time to have people like Marshall. But the sad thing is they are disappearing rapidly. I dont know if the future generations will have folks like theese. People with this much passion,care and the true love for history.
Being up there in age myself, I absolutely loved watching this. Collect what you love. Out of everything of this wonderful collection I loved the photos! Always have admired great photography. Have a book by Ozzie Sweet of great photos that I have had the chance to meet some of the players in the book & had them sign. Along with the famous Topps book published I think in the late 80's or early 90's of all the Topps cards. Living in Florida got to go to several "Senior League" games, retired ball players & when showing them, the players this book, would invite me to sit on the bench while the game was going on & they would find their photo of their rookie card & sign it. Probably have around 50 autos in this book. Collect what you love. Meet Red Grange & had him sign a photo. I'm starting to document & attach with all the different items of where & when & a little story behind all my autos of meeting these greats.
One of the most memorable quotes from this interview is "Don't live for the moment, live for the time". I think that's what is wrong with ultra modern card collecting. Collectors, dealers, flippers are going after all these cards from unproven athletes, and I just don't get it. I can't fathom how someone would pay for a (example) Justin Fields National Treasures RPA, when they could use that money to buy some of these timeless pieces. Thank you for this video, it's truly amazing!
I could listen to this man and his stories and lose hours. Absolutely lost in the moment. Thank you for this. Still can not believe you wore Kofax glove!
Back in the 1980’s I worked for a card dealer that was one of the biggest on the East Coast. Joe Sak. One night he decided to show off his collection of Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron. Mickey had two full albums filled with Mantle. One of them was just filled with mint Mantles only. 3 pages of 1952 rookie card. He sold the crappier Mantles but kept all of the best ones. I truly believe that during the 1970’s, 1980’s if not the 1990’s and beyond. His collection was the best in the world! He had at least a hundred albums in his personal collection. He lived in Wilkes-Barre Pa. I worked a dozen shows in New York and Jersey in the middle of the 1980’s with him.
Unbelievable. Just crazy! So Cool! Had to be fun kicking it with Marshal picking his brain. So Impressive. Marshal needs a youtube channel. So interesting. A true pioneer.
Enjoyed this interview so much! Mr. Fogel is a national f'n treasure. I appreciate his humility about the whole thing, but he knows damn well how much this collection is worth. Awesome interview! It's amazing that he (Fogel) clearly still loves collecting as much today as ever.
His chair is dope. This was epic thank you for sharing the uncut version. I've been a bit negative about the hobby lately but this has rejuvenated my spirit.
This is probably your best episode 👏. I could watch many more of these. I love the appreciation for the sport and the attention to detail. Just amazing. Thank you for giving us content like this.
My father had to stop catching me when I was 10 out back pitching to him cause at 10 yrs old I was throwing 80mph and was busting through gloves and mitts. I was drafted by the Expos, even though I pitched my entire life, I was primarily 2nd, but also played ss, third, Right, and even caught and DH. But growing up every game I pitched there would always be a few kids that would be crying in the on deck circle seeing how fast I was throwing and continued crying up at the plate. 😂
Absolutely beautiful cards and collection. I am not being negative or a jealous guy, but that 55 Mantle with the woodgrain, that is a PSA 10, It looks off ceter left to right, and you can see whitening on the edges, maybe they didn't grade as hard back then, or maybe it's just the camera of shadows, making it look that way. Either way this is incredible, I just wondered of anyone else noticed what I did.
I’ve watched this twice and have some great advice notes from this!! Has to be your best interview yet! Thanks for doing and sharing his amazing collection and wisdom!!!
I was 14 working at a card shop in 91 the owner had a 52 Mantle took me to the national that year got the upper deck promos Montana and Sanders love hearing his stories and seeing his collection Thanks for the video
25:10 - comments of growing up in the 50s when men were gentle and women were ladies. How the times have changed. 34:50 - "You cannot collect and grade at the same time. That's another story..." HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED! I would LOVE to hear Mr. Fogel's thoughts on #NatTurner & #Collectors.
This man did it the right way. He’s humble and he got the benefits of loving the hobby in addition to financial gain. Most people only ever get one of those two.
What a great interview. Amazing collection. Like a child in a candy store. His collection is definitely one of a kind and I love the story for each item. Thanks!!!🔥💪🙌
I just started watching! When I watched the first one I said to myself 14 minutes!? I want more.there's so much I wanna know!!! Thank you for putting the whole thing out there.
The Library of Congress also has a very nice collection of vintage baseball cards. I've been there and to the Baseball Hall of Fame and it is such a memorable experience for both.
What an excellent interview on both sides. Very knowledgeable and insightful. The perfect combination between memorabilia and character development. So much wisdom here.
Awesome vid! Crazy how nonchalant and proud he is of his collection. That twinkle in everyone’s eyes seeing something like this never gets old, including mine
1989 the National was in the Basement of the Hyatt Regency downtown Chicago. My dad took me, he was trying to complete his 1963 Topps baseball card set.. I was preoccupied with Upper Deck, The Cubs, Jerome Walton, Dwight Smith and ofc Ryno, Maddux, Dawson and Grace. My all time favorite Cubby team was 89! We also went to the Cubs Convention every year, Downtown Chicago at the Hilton and Towers.
I did a plumbing job at a house once and the people that lived there were personal friends of Casey Stengel. Thier living room was a museum and I could have stayed there all evening.
Every baseball fan should watch this.. I have friends that don’t collect but would love to watch this. I’ll definitely be sharing with them. Thank you.
Wow, incredible does not due it service. Thank you both, and the crew, for taking your precious time to share a once in a lifetime collection. God Bless…
Would be better if the guy showed some humility. Not a humble crumb to this guy, you'd think all his collected experiences over the years would help simmer his better than thou attitude. Still a great collection
@@Optable What are you talking about? I found him to be very humble and mentioned several times how people can collect on any buget and how it's about enjoying. I think he was having fun showing his lifes collection and you are projecting.
This could be 5 hours long, and would not be enough. What a great guy he is.
This could be a series of seasons of them talking and I would watch again and again simply amazing
💯
Wish it was
Yep. I was way more interested with the stuff on his walls.
Totally agree this genuine collector has a passion that is never ending
Geoff, Thank you for taking the time to spend money, lug equipment, and get on a plane. Fantastic once-in-a-lifetime sit down with a world-class collection--- as well as an old-school character! We are losing these types of men in America and capturing this is a piece of history and nostalgia!! Cheers amigo!

It’s absolutely priceless and he spoke from the heart on his views of not just a numerical value as how the hobby is driven in todays world but the enjoyment of collecting in a different light. Great job!!
I'm almost positive he said that in the last video
Or maybe it was just about the gem mint 1952 mantle
Not just your best video, but one of the top sports card and memorabilia videos ever made by anyone. Thanks Marshall and Geoff for sharing. So inspirational.
That is one hell of a king's chair Mr. Fogel is sitting in. A man of distinction and vast knowledge.
I’m enjoying every second of this.. it almost makes me weep because how much I’ve LOVED Baseball ever since my earliest memories, & even when I was 10, 11, 12 I loved the HISTORY of Baseball more than the present day.

He’s the King Solomon of Baseball History memorabilia if you ask me.

What a great ambassador of this Mantle card and its his card as he deserves it. Marshal is a great humble guy!
Even more than his collection, I loved Marshall Fogel the person in this video. Listening to him speak was both interesting and heartwarming.

Geoff Wilson what restraint and composer you held during the card spread across the table was incredible. Absolute Gem Mint Pristine 10 interview. Thank you for allowing all to enjoy your experience .
"But I knew enough that I loved what I saw." That sums it up for me as a passionate collector
Even this mans chair is freaking awesome. His story is amazing and his collection is PRICELESS!!!
im glad ya'll made a extended cut - i hope yall collab in the future where his whole entire collection is on display. its amazing.
Not going to happen. Insurance company wouldn’t allow them to do so
Just seeing this collections is priceless.
This is hands down your coolest video so far. Lucky for you to get to see this amazing collection.
This is just tremendous! The hobby is still about the association of the fan to the athlete and to the passion of the times. What a joy, thanks!
He is exactly right. The point of doing this shouldn’t strictly be for business it would be for the love of the hobby. I absolutely loved watching this video and I’ve learned a lot. It’s just awesome looking at that stuff. I added to my bucket list that I want to meet him before he dies

i've watched this three times. totally amazing content
Man Marshall is awesome! Amazing hearing this guy talk about his love of sports. Great interview.
I've watched this multiple times. It's such an unbelievable video. It's like nothing else, I just love this guy and his wisdom.

What an amazing collection! Shows what patience in the hobby can do
Hell of a watch. As a strict baseball only collector this was a joy!
This gentleman is the G. O. A. T This was one of my favorite interviews in many years. He speaks words of wisdom. I would love to hear more history from him. He’s probably got some fantastic stories to tell us.
Just so darn awesome to see such awesome vintage content and such a historical collection. Stunning Thank you for posting the extended cut. Just such a rare glimpse into such a legendary collection
I just finished watching this a second time! I felt like I was listening to my grandfather tell me his war stories, which I absolutely used to love. Please give this guy more facetime!
Don’t worry about the money when you collect, worry about what you enjoy. Great advice.
We have all been very fortunate through time to have people like Marshall. But the sad thing is they are disappearing rapidly. I dont know if the future generations will have folks like theese. People with this much passion,care and the true love for history.
Best collection video I've ever seen! Amazing content
So glad you published the extended cut. Really great interview 👏

beautiful
What an absolute legend! He’s got my collecting juices flowing🥊
One of the most memorable quotes from this interview is "Don't live for the moment, live for the time". I think that's what is wrong with ultra modern card collecting. Collectors, dealers, flippers are going after all these cards from unproven athletes, and I just don't get it. I can't fathom how someone would pay for a (example) Justin Fields National Treasures RPA, when they could use that money to buy some of these timeless pieces. Thank you for this video, it's truly amazing!
I could listen to this man and his stories and lose hours. Absolutely lost in the moment. Thank you for this. Still can not believe you wore Kofax glove!
This is your best video of your career. Thank you for doing this!
Collect on
Geoff and SCI team, thank you for this video. Best one you've posted and one that will go down in history 🙏.
Back in the 1980’s I worked for a card dealer that was one of the biggest on the East Coast. Joe Sak. One night he decided to show off his collection of Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron. Mickey had two full albums filled with Mantle. One of them was just filled with mint Mantles only. 3 pages of 1952 rookie card. He sold the crappier Mantles but kept all of the best ones. I truly believe that during the 1970’s, 1980’s if not the 1990’s and beyond. His collection was the best in the world! He had at least a hundred albums in his personal collection.
He lived in Wilkes-Barre Pa.
I worked a dozen shows in New York and Jersey in the middle of the 1980’s with him.
Unbelievable. Just crazy! So Cool! Had to be fun kicking it with Marshal picking his brain. So Impressive. Marshal needs a youtube channel. So interesting. A true pioneer.
History and stories
Very cool
The greatest slab collection in history.
Speechless
Enjoyed this interview so much! Mr. Fogel is a national f'n treasure. I appreciate his humility about the whole thing, but he knows damn well how much this collection is worth. Awesome interview! It's amazing that he (Fogel) clearly still loves collecting as much today as ever.
The best video on this channel so far!!!
I’m gonna end up watching this video 10 times or more. So awesome! You can see a different look in Jeff’s eyes in this one. Like being truly in aw.
His chair is dope. This was epic thank you for sharing the uncut version. I've been a bit negative about the hobby lately but this has rejuvenated my spirit.
This is probably your best episode 👏. I could watch many more of these. I love the appreciation for the sport and the attention to detail. Just amazing. Thank you for giving us content like this.
This was an amazing conversation.
Good job interviewing Geoff. Well handled. you asked open questions and let him talk.
My father had to stop catching me when I was 10 out back pitching to him cause at 10 yrs old I was throwing 80mph and was busting through gloves and mitts. I was drafted by the Expos, even though I pitched my entire life, I was primarily 2nd, but also played ss, third, Right, and even caught and DH. But growing up every game I pitched there would always be a few kids that would be crying in the on deck circle seeing how fast I was throwing and continued crying up at the plate. 😂
This is such an awesome video. I watched it from beginning to end without ever losing interest. My favorite ❤️ Sports Card Investor video by far!
Absolutely beautiful cards and collection. I am not being negative or a jealous guy, but that 55 Mantle with the woodgrain, that is a PSA 10, It looks off ceter left to right, and you can see whitening on the edges, maybe they didn't grade as hard back then, or maybe it's just the camera of shadows, making it look that way. Either way this is incredible, I just wondered of anyone else noticed what I did.
I love Marshall he has so much love for collecting and baseball
Wonderful interview! The most interesting part to me was the bats. I learned a lot and enjoyed Marshall’s humility.
The Best episode ever, this guy really knows and has gold at all
I’ve watched this twice and have some great advice notes from this!! Has to be your best interview yet! Thanks for doing and sharing his amazing collection and wisdom!!!
I was 14 working at a card shop in 91 the owner had a 52 Mantle took me to the national that year got the upper deck promos Montana and Sanders love hearing his stories and seeing his collection Thanks for the video
25:10 - comments of growing up in the 50s when men were gentle and women were ladies. How the times have changed.
34:50 - "You cannot collect and grade at the same time. That's another story..." HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED!
I would LOVE to hear Mr. Fogel's thoughts on #NatTurner & #Collectors.
Just…Wow! A truly amazing collection.
Street Smarts and humility! Love it! Thanks Geoff! I am late to the game but very good interview.
This man did it the right way. He’s humble and he got the benefits of loving the hobby in addition to financial gain. Most people only ever get one of those two.
Finally extended cut for such a legendary collector! 👏
This is so fascinating. The combo of this and learning about all of these players from my dad - I think I’m inspired to collect vintage.
What a great interview. Amazing collection. Like a child in a candy store. His collection is definitely one of a kind and I love the story for each item. Thanks!!!🔥💪🙌
I just started watching! When I watched the first one I said to myself 14 minutes!? I want more.there's so much I wanna know!!! Thank you for putting the whole thing out there.
My Lord what a collection, these cards are in amazing condition. Thanks for sharing this great video with us.
I hope his collection goes to the hall of fame, have his own room showing off this collection,u finally have a video worth watching! All Baseball! Lol
The Library of Congress also has a very nice collection of vintage baseball cards. I've been there and to the Baseball Hall of Fame and it is such a memorable experience for both.
He is a museum.
Baseball rules!!
All his videos are good
No way. It will go to auction!
What an excellent interview on both sides. Very knowledgeable and insightful. The perfect combination between memorabilia and character development. So much wisdom here.
I wouldn't feel right if I didn't say "Thank you Sir for all you have done for the hobby"!
I found it funny that Marshall's chair looks like it cost $50k but Geoff's chair looks like the one my grandma had around her dining room table
Thank you so much for the full video.
This is one of the best hobby videos I’ve ever seen !!!!! Thank You, Marshall and Geoff. It was very informative !!!!
Awesome vid! Crazy how nonchalant and proud he is of his collection. That twinkle in everyone’s eyes seeing something like this never gets old, including mine
1989 the National was in the Basement of the Hyatt Regency downtown Chicago. My dad took me, he was trying to complete his 1963 Topps baseball card set.. I was preoccupied with Upper Deck, The Cubs, Jerome Walton, Dwight Smith and ofc Ryno, Maddux, Dawson and Grace. My all time favorite Cubby team was 89! We also went to the Cubs Convention every year, Downtown Chicago at the Hilton and Towers.
I did a plumbing job at a house once and the people that lived there were personal friends of Casey Stengel. Thier living room was a museum and I could have stayed there all evening.
Every baseball fan should watch this.. I have friends that don’t collect but would love to watch this. I’ll definitely be sharing with them. Thank you.
Greatest collection I’ve ever watched in my life. Thank you y’all for sharing great stuff.
Wow, incredible does not due it service. Thank you both, and the crew, for taking your precious time to share a once in a lifetime collection. God Bless…
What a great guy. Everything he owns is clearly in the right hands. Wow
A true collector who stayed in the game he did what he liked’ and it’s paid off for him. Thank you for the interview.
This is a real treat to watch... great video!!
This was an incredible interview Geoff.
Would be better if the guy showed some humility. Not a humble crumb to this guy, you'd think all his collected experiences over the years would help simmer his better than thou attitude. Still a great collection
@@Optable What are you talking about? I found him to be very humble and mentioned several times how people can collect on any buget and how it's about enjoying. I think he was having fun showing his lifes collection and you are projecting.
Monthly "Checking in with Marshall" is flat out necessary. He, I can tell, would enjoy it as much as we would.
Extraordinary wisdom coming from this man.
This is excellent content.
Marshall Fogel won't say it. I will. Greatest Collection in the World.
I loved every minute of it . Thanks for sharing this interview.
I love him. Best Video on the channel. I will never forget this man. He is what I strive to be. His personality is one of a kind.
