I thought I could do this video response for James in 10, maybe 12 minutes. Yeah, right... #vintagebaseballcards #cardcollecting #cardmunity #baseballhistory
Great video!!!! I loved every minute of it. The biggest takeaway from watching I’ll have to say is the passion is so evident. I love the reasoning you gave to what made you pick up each item, or the reason why you chased a specific card. For example the back of Bobby Thompson card meant so much to you because it encapsulated the tremendous shot heard round the world. I also loved it when you appreciated the Mickey Mantle beater because it showed how well loved it was. Very thoughtful response to my VR. Thank you for participating. 👊🏼👍🏽
It was a thrill to do this, James! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the opportunity to share. These VRs have been a lot of fun to watch!
Hi John, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on why you enjoy vintage. Three great additions to your collection. Your 54 non Topps HOF additions are coming along nicely.
Thanks, Terry. I didn't think I'd pick up nine already, to be honest. I guess things have a way of working out. I need Fox, Reese, Feller, Musial and Mantle, and I'll probably end up picking them up in that order. Appreciate you watching as always.
You're right about vintage. There's something about it that takes you down memory lane throughout the different vintage eras, which is something the modern era cards don't seem to do ... at least right now, although I loved seeing Albert Pujols essentially pulling vintage level hitting statistics with his number of hits, RBIs, and home runs.
Similar to Pujols, I am really looking forward to Ichiro's HoF enshrinement next year. I'm hoping he goes in as a unanimous pick! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Carl Erskine, who died earlier this year, is in that group of players whose names are engraved in baseball history - Roger Maris, Bobby Thomson, Don Larsen and others - but whose careers don't place them in the HOF. There are plenty whose careers SHOULD put them in the HOF. And some in the Hall whose credentials are questionable.
For those players you mentioned, it's great that they are recognized in Cooperstown for their respective historic moments -- or in Erskine's case, his life's work both on and off the diamond. Thank you for the comment.
Great video. So many amazing looking vintage cards. Enjoyed hearing why you enjoy collecting vintage.
Great video response, awesome cards

Love that Batter Up card! Excellent video and explanation.
Thanks, Aaron. I think they're very cool and like how their use of photographs make them stand out vs. the other mid-'30s issues.
I always loved that 54 Campy too!
I think there's a certain sense of timelessness about it.
Great video love the diamond stars cards
Thanks, Brian, I really appreciate it. And I agree about Diamond Stars!
So much eye candy!
I might have a bit of a sweet tooth.
