This is only the second "end of the year" video I've watched from u and WOW!! Your collection is freaking amazing! I hope to be at your level one day! Great video cheers from Florida
Love the video each year. I think the best part is being able to hear the excitement and joy you convey while talking about them. Plus I get to see cards that I might aspire to get one day. Thank you for sharing Mike.
Thanks for sharing these, Mike. I think this is the third year I've watched your Top 50 video, and as much as I enjoy seeing your fantastic cards, I see this video as kind of a service to the card community. This is a great hobby barometer, both currently and vs. a year ago. Really interesting, and really helpful. But man, those cards...!
It is exciting and refreshing to see/hear collectors I respect having 2’s,3’s,4’s in their collection! We often hear of the 9’s and 10’s but often of the mid grade cards that are just as beautiful. Thanks for posting! #KeepChasing
Great Top 50 list Mike! Some great cards! Definitely did not take it to be a flex video. I'll be posting my Top 50 soon and mine are definitely NOT flex-worthy. LOL
Awesome video Mike! The Top Cards in My Collection videos are my favorite to watch. I agree, ranking them on price is the most quantitative way to do it. Awesome collection, my friend! Congrats on picking up the 52 Mays and T206 Young! Both are beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mike, I must compliment you on your collection. You have some wonderful cards and I admire your ‘targets’ to collect. Your Sandy Koufax RC makes me extremely happy just to see it in your collection. You should be very proud. Have a relaxing evening, Peter
Nice group of cards Mike, thanks for sharing. I will have my too 50 cards video done soon so be on the lookout for it, lots of new stuff from last years list.
What a flex Mike 🤪 Haha in all seriousness, enjoyed the video! I always like seeing if I have any cards in common with other people’s top 50. I had a few of yours, so that’s fun! Now, down the prewar rabbit hole!! 😂
Great Video Mike. Love the breadth of your collection. All eras & players represented. Enjoyed the decision w/ each card. Well presented. 👍 Was surprised to not see a 1968, 1969, or 1971 Nolan Ryan on your top 50 list. Have a nice weekend
Can’t believe the Mantle and Jackie cards are down…I didn’t even know that was possible! Sheesh! If I were you I would be including your autos too. Where would the babe Ruth auto fall in the list?!! I need to see that!
Mike, so awesome to see your 2023 Edition of your Top 50! I am honored to be your clubby on some of the glorious cards that made the cut! Just to mention one of the plethora of epic cards in this video, I love your 1938 Goudey Bob Feller! 🤯🤯🤯
Thanks for sharing! Love watching collectors appreciate their cards. Regarding values and up or down, tons of cards were flat from 2009-2019. Does VCP provide graphs of sale prices over a 5 or 10 year period?
Great top 50 Mike! Definitely always look forward to these top card countdown videos. Do you have any particular cards that you are targeting for next year?
Quite a collection! So many amazing cards there for sure. Love the ‘51 Mantle 🤩. I picked up the ‘56 Robinson recently. One of the coolest cards I never thought I’d have in the collection.
To me cards going down is a good thing - unlikely I will ever have more cards than I still want/need so bring on lower prices. Wow that ‘54 Williams SP is incredible! Love the color on both your ‘54 Red Heart and ‘48 Leaf Musial. Your Campy rookie is much better than a 6. That Gehrig/Ruth card is so cool. Added a Wilson Franks Campy after seeing yours last year. Thanks for sharing - this video is always fun to watch.
ALWAYS my favorite video of the year. Obviously this list is consists of all fantastic cards but I’m partial to the gem mint Bryce at number 6! Go Phils 👍 I hope you and your family have a happy and healthy holiday season!!!
@@BaseballCollector ... Hmm, well the easy answer is because I can only watch so many pack rips before my eyes begin to bleed. I think the biggest reason I love these types of vids is the same reason why I enjoy card show footage or scrolling through eBay… to see great cards and ideas of what should be on my radar for my ‘next big investment’. As collectors, I think we all think about the potential value & growth of our hobby dollar & time. Also as an added bonus, these types of videos provide an insight as to what and how fellow hobbyists collect- which I always find interesting (whether high end or low end cards). Keep up the great work on all your uploads!
What an amazing collection! That is a museum-quality collection of Americana right there. I have exactly one of those cards (56 Williams), though not nearly as nice as yours. Thanks for sharing ~Allon
Sick collection! I consolidated my collection. I only own 2 cards now. 79 opc psa 8 Gretzky and an 86 fleer psa 8 Jordan. I’ll sell them on my 80th birthday lol
Wow. Love your collection and the '51 Bowman Mays and Mantle are amazing! I know the '52 topps is "the Mantle card" but I am probably more of a fan of the '51 Bowman. How long have you had that beauty in your collection?
Heritage is my favorite product so I had to get that 2012 Harper in a PSA 10. I still need his auto from that set so I see these come up in my saved searches and people ask for the moon and the stars for them. My other favorite rookie of his is the Archives, but the PSA 10 auto, which I have, sells for less than the PSA 10 non auto, which I don't have. Some pretty strange pricing histories on them.
I almost didn't watch thinking that your 50th best card would be way better than my best, so I was kind of surprised at your list. Not to be demeaning, but it made me feel a little better about my cards. Still jealous of a few, although it was nice to see that 3s and 4s are perfectly acceptable and something to be proud of. A 60-70 year old card should look like a 60-70 year old card, in my humble opinion. Enjoyed this vid, Mike.
@@BaseballCollectorI meant a Favorite Fifty. I have faith you could out together a creative post w all kinds of criteria that makes a card a favorite. Mine include image, significant playing year, and scarcity or oddness of the issued card, i.e., the original owner likely had a dog to get the card. Strangely enough, grade and condition have little to do with anything when I’m devising Top ___ lists.
I like these videos but I think yr favorite cards would be more intresting to me at least lol......like my favorite carf in my collection is a Juan Gonzalez donruss elite! Notbwirth to much to most but I love it lol
@@BaseballCollector I'm sure! I'm saving up for the national to find some key cards. But luckily I have the Strongsville show before. Sometimes you can find better deals
The Harper SP is a stealthy valuable card. He is one strong healthy season away from being close to a HOF lock. Counting stats should be nice - still 9-10 years left on that contract even with his decline years.
Most red LEAFS fall during fall, -but babe ruth??? Me think, that is his most beautiful card...By god, his Goudeys are too gaudy, or is it gawdy? Only God knows.
Always love these to 50, top 25, top 10 videos as it’s fascinating to see what someone collects. I have to say I’m surprised at how many of your vintage cards went down this year. These are iconic vintage cards. I collect mostly 80’s/90’s so I don’t follow vintage prices except from channels like Mid Life Sports who do daily deep dives. I hear from the vintage channels all of the time the ‘vintage is safe’ in this hobby. I think this video show that nothing is safe in this hobby as even lower pop vintage cards are vulnerable to a correction. Obviously ultra modern cards have fallen off a cliff, but I’m surprised at how many of your big cards went down this year.
Why would you EVER put your ASSETS on the internet, just for some stranger's "likes"??? You didn't "pull these out of the safety deposit box for the video," you have them PROBABLY DISPLAYED in your HOUSE... where your FAMILY lives!!! Would you put your BANKING information out like this???
Awesome video on vintage. I love vintage cards
This is only the second "end of the year" video I've watched from u and WOW!! Your collection is freaking amazing! I hope to be at your level one day! Great video cheers from Florida
Cool stuff thanks for letting us see it. 👍
Awesome video!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the visit
very nice my friend...heck of a collection
Thanks Lou. I appreciate it.
Awesome man! Thank you for sharing!
Love the video each year. I think the best part is being able to hear the excitement and joy you convey while talking about them. Plus I get to see cards that I might aspire to get one day. Thank you for sharing Mike.
Thanks. I am definitely proud of the collection I have been able to acquire over the decades.
Beautiful cards Mike! Thanks for putting this together, I always enjoy it!
My pleasure Theo!!
This was awesome. I loved every minute of it. Looking forward to next year!
Thanks Steve. 2024 should be good.
Thanks for sharing these, Mike. I think this is the third year I've watched your Top 50 video, and as much as I enjoy seeing your fantastic cards, I see this video as kind of a service to the card community. This is a great hobby barometer, both currently and vs. a year ago. Really interesting, and really helpful. But man, those cards...!
Thanks. I kind of see it that way too, but on a micro level with my collection.
Great video bud - gives me some nice ideas of cards to strive for and have on my top tier list.
Great stuff, Mike!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks George. I want to see your Top 50 video!!
Amazing collection! Great to see a lot of these again
Thanks Joe.
What an incredible collection Mike. Some truly beautiful cards. Great to see some prewar also. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Orlando. Slowly but surely adding in the pre war greatness.
Great stuff as usual!
It is exciting and refreshing to see/hear collectors I respect having 2’s,3’s,4’s in their collection! We often hear of the 9’s and 10’s but often of the mid grade cards that are just as beautiful. Thanks for posting! #KeepChasing
Yes they are!
A great video. I love all the cards.
I can live my collecting dreams through you haha.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
Great view Mike, I enjoy watching this every year your collection is awesome. let's play two cc.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
What a gorgeous Red Heart Musial!!!🤩
Great Top 50 list Mike! Some great cards! Definitely did not take it to be a flex video. I'll be posting my Top 50 soon and mine are definitely NOT flex-worthy. LOL
Always have loved your list Mike. Your cards are gorgeous...as always.
Thanks so much!
Awesome video Mike! The Top Cards in My Collection videos are my favorite to watch. I agree, ranking them on price is the most quantitative way to do it. Awesome collection, my friend! Congrats on picking up the 52 Mays and T206 Young! Both are beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Darren.
great video, Mike!
Awesome collection! Love the Mays and Mantle RC. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Ryan. I appreciate it.
I think I'm getting very familiar w/ your collection. I look at your cards as much as my own! Great 50 card run. 1 and 2 are always an epic finish
look forward to this every year. Thank you, sir, for sharing!
Thanks. I enjoy doing it every year.
Hi Mike,
I must compliment you on your collection. You have some wonderful cards and I admire your ‘targets’ to collect.
Your Sandy Koufax RC makes me extremely happy just to see it in your collection.
You should be very proud.
Have a relaxing evening,
Peter
Thanks Peter. I am proud of the collection I have been able to acquire over the decades
WOW! 🔥Thanks for sharing Mike
Thanks Rick. I would love to see what your top 50 would look like. I bet it would be absolute fire!!
Great video mike. Love the red heart musial and all the mantles.
Thanks Ray. Don't you have that card?
no not yet. hope to soon@@BaseballCollector
Nice group of cards Mike, thanks for sharing. I will have my too 50 cards video done soon so be on the lookout for it, lots of new stuff from last years list.
Thanks Check. I cannot wait to see the fire you show in your top 50.
I look forward to this every year. Amazing cards. Well done, sir!
I appreciate it Billy.
@BaseballCollector I'm coming up on a year for my channel and was thinking about doing one of these. Mine would not be nearly as impressive.
Great showcase. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks RJ.
What a flex Mike 🤪
Haha in all seriousness, enjoyed the video! I always like seeing if I have any cards in common with other people’s top 50. I had a few of yours, so that’s fun!
Now, down the prewar rabbit hole!! 😂
That is a deep, dark, and expensive rabbit hole Jake.
Amazing cards Mike; this is probably a rewatch for me.
I love these videos. Really like the Wajo port, Aaron rc, Goudey Gehrig, and Mays and Mantle rcs of course. Happy Holidays buddy.
Thanks Josh. It is fun to see where things stack up every year.
Incredible collection, I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Andrew. You are responsible for number 2 on the list
The Clemente is fantastic! Love it
Love seeing your collection.
Thanks. I love having my collection.
@BaseballCollector lol I bet you do love owning that collection.
Great Video Mike. Love the breadth of your collection. All eras & players represented. Enjoyed the decision w/ each card. Well presented. 👍
Was surprised to not see a 1968, 1969, or 1971 Nolan Ryan on your top 50 list.
Have a nice weekend
My rookie is a lower grade so it didn’t make the list and the others aren’t really that expensive
Entertaining video
Thanks.
Awesome video Mike! Glad a Harper made it! Can’t go wrong with any card in your top 5!
Thanks Austin. Just seems weird to see a modern card so high in a sea of vintage.
That was fun to watch, your commentary was what made the video.
Hey, thanks!
Can’t believe the Mantle and Jackie cards are down…I didn’t even know that was possible! Sheesh! If I were you I would be including your autos too. Where would the babe Ruth auto fall in the list?!! I need to see that!
Mike, so awesome to see your 2023 Edition of your Top 50! I am honored to be your clubby on some of the glorious cards that made the cut! Just to mention one of the plethora of epic cards in this video, I love your 1938 Goudey Bob Feller! 🤯🤯🤯
Thanks Adam. The Feller is rough but still an expensive card in low grade.
I look forward to this video every year and it delivered again! One day I could see that Heritage Harper turning into a killer vintage card
Thanks Josh. We are both blessed to have amazing collections.
Beautiful cards Mike
Thanks Peter.
Awesome video Mike 📹 👏 👌 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing! Love watching collectors appreciate their cards. Regarding values and up or down, tons of cards were flat from 2009-2019. Does VCP provide graphs of sale prices over a 5 or 10 year period?
Awesome as always
Appreciate it as always
Amazing collection, love the WaJo portrait :D
Don
Thanks Don. It is a beautiful card.
Great top 50 Mike! Definitely always look forward to these top card countdown videos. Do you have any particular cards that you are targeting for next year?
More Gehrig
Amazing top 50! Wow.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Quite a collection! So many amazing cards there for sure. Love the ‘51 Mantle 🤩. I picked up the ‘56 Robinson recently. One of the coolest cards I never thought I’d have in the collection.
Thanks Chris. So many cards that I own now that I never thought I would own.
The whole market is down but you can never go wrong with vintage stuff cool cards
It just goes in cycles like everything else.
To me cards going down is a good thing - unlikely I will ever have more cards than I still want/need so bring on lower prices. Wow that ‘54 Williams SP is incredible! Love the color on both your ‘54 Red Heart and ‘48 Leaf Musial. Your Campy rookie is much better than a 6. That Gehrig/Ruth card is so cool. Added a Wilson Franks Campy after seeing yours last year.

ALWAYS my favorite video of the year. Obviously this list is consists of all fantastic cards but I’m partial to the gem mint Bryce at number 6! Go Phils 👍 I hope you and your family have a happy and healthy holiday season!!!
Thanks Jeff. Just curious, what is it that you like about this type of video so much?

Love the Gehrig's! 1934 is my grail card. Very nice list.
Thanks Kevin. Now I need to go get the yellow 1934.
What a awesome collection.
Thanks!
Best top 50 I've ever seen on youtube!
Thanks Eric, but I have seen better. LOL
Outstanding collection....the 64 Mantle just jumped out.
Thanks Randy. It is a sharp example of that card.
Cool that you bought from Ashsh. Have bought into a couple of his vintage breaks
Sick collection! I consolidated my collection. I only own 2 cards now. 79 opc psa 8 Gretzky and an 86 fleer psa 8 Jordan. I’ll sell them on my 80th birthday lol
Thanks Jimmy. Those are two iconic cards to consolidate in to.
@@BaseballCollector Next card I want is a bowman chrome psa 9 Brady rookie. Hopefully I can take a trip to the national and get it.
Wow. Love your collection and the '51 Bowman Mays and Mantle are amazing! I know the '52 topps is "the Mantle card" but I am probably more of a fan of the '51 Bowman. How long have you had that beauty in your collection?
Thanks. I got the Mantle in January 2020. Right before things went nuts.
I know nothing about vintage, but that was awesome!
Glad you liked it. Hopefully you learned something.
Heritage is my favorite product so I had to get that 2012 Harper in a PSA 10.

It's not a flex Mike, you are just sharing the cards you love! Keep collecting! 😊
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Not a bad top 50 but need more football 😂 Love this vids of course. Thx for sharing.
I am getting more and more football every year Scott. Just not a lot of expensive football. LOL
@@BaseballCollector Love it
Very nice Mike thanks for sharing. As nice as the top 2 are, I actually prefer the 52's of both. But hey, you have all four!
Interesting take. I am assuming you mean of their respective Bowman cards? I do like each of their 52 Bowman cards too.
Love this video, but how about Top 10, 20 or 25 cards that you own that are worth UNDER $100 (or similar) video?
Love the Matty card.
Thanks. Pre war stuff is awesome.
I almost didn't watch thinking that your 50th best card would be way better than my best, so I was kind of surprised at your list. Not to be demeaning, but it made me feel a little better about my cards. Still jealous of a few, although it was nice to see that 3s and 4s are perfectly acceptable and something to be proud of. A 60-70 year old card should look like a 60-70 year old card, in my humble opinion. Enjoyed this vid, Mike.
Old cards should look old. And I am glad you feel better about your cards. You should no matter what cards I show.
Whoa! Amazing top 50 Mike! I’ll have to admit, Bryce Harper was a little weird to see in the top 10 among all the greats.
Thanks Shannon. The Harper definitely seems out of place.
I'd love to see a Favorite Card post.
That would be hard. Because I don't really have one.
@@BaseballCollectorI meant a Favorite Fifty. I have faith you could out together a creative post w all kinds of criteria that makes a card a favorite.

That is a fair point.
that 54 stan musial is a good lookin card. red refractor like lol
Yeah Tim. It is really gorgeous.
Those Red Hearts are so boss
Oooh, the Ruth margarine card too
Do you use market movers for pricing at all?
No I do not. Their vintage pricing is not that extensive from what I hear.
The '48 leaf. Ted is a goal card for me
Took me a long time to find the right one
@@BaseballCollector I'm sure! I'm saving up for the national to find some key cards. But luckily I have the Strongsville show before. Sometimes you can find better deals
That 51 Mantle is 🔥🔥
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Enjoy this yearly video!
Thanks. I enjoy doing it every year.
The Harper SP is a stealthy valuable card. He is one strong healthy season away from being close to a HOF lock. Counting stats should be nice - still 9-10 years left on that contract even with his decline years.
I think he is definitely on a Hall of Fame track.
Most red LEAFS fall during fall, -but babe ruth??? Me think, that is his most beautiful card...By god, his Goudeys are too gaudy, or is it gawdy? Only God knows.
Enjoying this while having a stiff drink of eggnog 😎
💯 on the Trout. Picked one up last month. Had been waiting to get it under $1k
Smart move.
I have been on the fence on a Trout rookie and your report here has me leaning toward falling off.
So you are going to finally buy one? Or wait?
8:34 PSA 7 off center 😊
You watch the entire video and that is the thing you decide to comment on? Brilliant...
Well your collection is common
@@Stackitupmetal And how would you describe your collection?
Love this video. The Harper is always jarring there in the top 10. Seems out of place.
Same for me Mike. There is no common sense reason any Harper card should be worth more than Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, etc.
No Nolan Ryan’s? Shocker!
I only have a PSA 3 in the Ryan rookie. If I had a higher grade one it would certainly make the list.
i love these videos. please FLEX away!!!
Thanks. (As I am flexing) LOL
Always love these to 50, top 25, top 10 videos as it’s fascinating to see what someone collects.
