Thanks for having me on Graig. It was a lot of fun and hopefully your viewers got some new insight into what’s going on inside Graig’s mind. See you in CLE in just over 2 weeks!!
Congratulations on batting 500!! Great idea Graig on introducing other TH-camrs to the community!! Amazing format to learn more about you and other channels!! Always enjoy your awesome channel!!
What a great conversation between two dudes that love cards! Those Aaron’s are absolutely beautiful. Home Run derby repeats in the 80’s definitely had a place for a lot of us vintage collectors in our 40’s… Awesome stuff Matt, I’ll have to check out more on your TH-cam channel! Graig short winded as ever… 15 seconds left, wow!
My brother and I must've pulled at least a dozen of those Hank Aaron HR King cards from packs back in 1974. It seemed like one of every 10 cards was that one, although I'm sure that was not actually the case. Too funny to see such common cards sitting inside of slabs these days!
“All of the haters out there…” finish that sentence!! Hahahaha you did it! Great great great work, Matt and Graig! I admire Matt’s collection, his approach to collecting and the way he involves his son. Matt does it all right!! I loved listening to this, guys.
Don't worry about the length of the video..the longer the better in my opinion...I'm 60yrs old..on disability and had to sell my massive collection few yrs ago due to financial problems..now, with my budget, I can only buy 1 or 2 cards, for around $150 per month..it hurts to know the cards I had..especially my near mint mantle red heart..don't know if I'll ever be able to acquire one of that condition again...I just started up again about 2-3, months ago...and watching your channel has helped me gain interest again in the hobby...and as far as people not caring about the value of their cards, in my opinion, just aren't being totaly honest..anytime someone spends money on a collectable I'm almost 100% positive they would like for the card/investment, to at least hold its value or a better scenario of gaining value..it's just natural...keep up the great content..apreciate your time..
Congrats on evening up your record, Graig! Matt’s my boy and is always great to see him collab. Hope you can make it over to the house Wednesday or any other time!
Good job on this one, 2 for 4, not a bad day. Enjoyed getting to know one of my National roomies a little better. He has good taste in cards, which I already knew.
Great interview! Matt is a stand-up guy, been a fan of his channel and collection since the early days. Way to go knocking this out in 4:45! Keep this up and you might even be able to average out our 4-5 minute overage time. You answered correctly with Nintendo over Sega, also. Very enjoyable listen and watch, gents!
Really enjoyed the episode with Matt! His collection is so cool, and I was pleasantly surprised to know he agrees with me on milestone numbers in terms of HOF-worthiness!! LOVE IT Cracking Cooperstown even got a shout-out, almost! :)
Great conversation. I really enjoy Matt's collecting friendship with me. He keeps me posted on "oddball" Eddie Mathews items as he is searching for Aaron and Spahn. Again, great conversation and I'll see you both in Cleveland
This was an absolute blast. 100% this series is my favorite. Matt is the nicest dude on the planet and I cant wait to hang out with him and his family again at the national 👊🤙🤙
If you go above your time for the next episode you, would still be batting 400! Hasn't happened since Ted Williams over 80 years ago. That's great company to be in. Matt, is a good guy, but my favorite moment was saying your Dad, has watched back the videos, he appeared in. I love that!!
Graig with the Fergie Jenkins drive-by. Fergie had more than double the career WAR of Baines, a Cy Young award, 5 top 3 finishes, and 3,000 strikeouts. I know what you mean though, maybe not an inner circle guy, but not a fringe guy like Baines haha.
I wasnt counting but i didnt think you were gonna make it. Congrats on the comeback. A year ago you ranked football RC's from 65 to 79. Would you consider doing 35 to 64? Doesnt need to be a ranking, just a list. I tried to make a list myself but only came up with 17. Maybe for a preseason episode in august. Thanks
That's a good question. A lot of channels do lists, so I've shied away from them. For me, a lot of it is about the vintage players for football. Baugh, Graham, Sayers, Brown, Unitas, Starr....those are many of the big ones...
Graig- I’m impressed ! You had 15 sec left ! Your getting how to play the Lightning around quite well with surprise questions.
I’m getting better!! Thanks Don!!

Thanks Ken. It’s so much fun getting to know others in the community on a deeper level.

I'm slowly starting to get how this whole thing works!! LOL. Appreciate you watching, Jeremy!!

In high grade it's very expensive.
@@MidLifeCards Yeah... we pretty much destroyed them all back in the day.
This was awesome. We got to meet Matt and Tyrus at last years National. Awesome channel and family. Thanks for sharing their channel.
Matt is a great guy. I was honored to have him on!!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Brent. I hope you had a good 4th with the little dude.
Awesome video, Graig. Matt asked some great questions, and I loved your answers.
Awesome, thank you!

Cracking Cooperstown even got a shout-out, almost! :)
He's got an amazing collection.
Great conversation. I really enjoy Matt's collecting friendship with me.

Again, great conversation and I'll see you both in Cleveland
Looking forward to it!!
This was an absolute blast. 100% this series is my favorite. Matt is the nicest dude on the planet and I cant wait to hang out with him and his family again at the national 👊🤙🤙
Thanks Dylan. Agreed on Matt!!
Another fun speed round! Those questions were coming in fast
I know. I was determined!!
Graig and Matt, great job! See you both at the Big Show! 😊👊
Can't wait.
Nice work boys, congrats on hitting the .500 mark Graig.
Thanks Adam!! I appreciate you watching/listening.
If you go above your time for the next episode you, would still be batting 400! Hasn't happened since Ted Williams over 80 years ago. That's great company to be in. Matt, is a good guy, but my favorite moment was saying your Dad, has watched back the videos, he appeared in. I love that!!
Exactly my thoughts!!
Great episode gentlemen!
Thanks my friend. I wish you were going to the National.
What a great video to wake up to! Thanks for having Matt on. One of my favorite guys in the hobby!
Totally agree. He’s a great guy!!
Great conversation with Matt. Awesome guy and great family. Thanks Graig for sharing his channel.
Totally agree, Orlando. Matt is a gem.
Matt had too many either or questions! Gotta make it harder Matt! Matts a great guy and has a great collection, so happy you had him on!
I love how you guys root against me!!

I'm actually higher on Fergie than most. I think he deserves the HOF. He was really good for a really long time.

It would basically, just be a list of the greatest QB's before the modern era.
There is a Village Idiot bar in Detroit
I think that's the one!!
