Dude, so happy i randomly stumbled on your channel. Your facts and stories made this 100x more entertaining than your average psa reveal. Keep it up 👍👍
Thank you, I'm humbled. Watch the previous videos when you have time and feel free to heap such praise anytime. Ha ha. But in all seriousness, to me it's about the stories as much as anything, and the cards just help tell those stories. I'll do my best to keep it coming even when there are no grades to reveal.
Awesome cards! Congrats on the grades! Mid to low grade vintage with nice eye appeal is right up my alley! Bummer about the 58 All Star Musial. Maybe it had been in a screw down holder at one time. Years ago we thought they were the best way to protect cards but over time we found out that they can flatten the cards and sometimes will cause the altered designation from the grading companies.
Who knows... it was my buddy's card and a FB purchase from a trusted seller. But no lineage of ownership beyond that, so to speak. I had a '73 Reggie come back the same. Bought several cards from the same seller. All others graded. You never know!
Hi Chris. My brother played against the Indianapolis Clowns back in 1985 at Atherton High School in Louisville, KY. I actually have a newspaper clipping of the story about the game and a photo of Dave Clark, the player with polio, using crutches. I have a extra copy of the article if you would like one.
Hey, first of all, thanks for watching all the way to the end! Hope you enjoyed it. I'd love to see the article. Is it something you could scan and send to me? I don't necessarily need a hard copy if you can get a good scan. I'd love to read it. My memory of playing them is pretty scattered.
Looking through this episode and saw the 1959 N.L. Hit Kings card featuring the Phillies Richie Ashburn and the NY Giants Willie Mays. In August of 1957 Ashburn was at bat at a home game in Philadelphia and fouled a pitch back in to the stands which hit a woman, Alice Roth, in her nose, breaking it. The game was halted and she was placed on a gurney. As she was being carried by medics down the row the game restarted. Ashburn fouled the first pitch off and it struck her in her knee, breaking a bone. Feel free to check out the veracity of this event. It’s impossible to make this stuff up. Terry Farmer
Very cool stories, Chris, and I enjoyed the reveal as well. I never knew some of those specifics about Musial and Spahn, thanks for those stats. I haven't been able to find any Chuck Connors MLB cards/photos or memorabilia, does he actually have anything playing days? I believe he has a minor league card which I do look for from time to time. Remember him from a movie that scared the crap out of me as a kid called "Tourist Trap" with creepy moaning mannequins haha. Still love it! I'd see him in reruns of westerns after that once in a while also. I'm a fan of his but never realized he played ball until 10-15 years ago. Cool video!
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it. The only playing days card I could find on Connors is a 1952 Mother's Cookies, card #4. I had never seen it before. I didn't know much about him until a buddy pointed out his Pacific Legends card.
Good work Chris! Love the stories behind the cards!
Thank you!
I work for Old National Bank in Evansville. I now live in Owensboro. I enjoy your show.
Thank you!
