Thank you for your service to our country!! Awesome Mantle card!! You are fortunate to have that special bond with fellow TH-camrs!! Enjoy your channel!! Keep up the great content!!
Great Video Bill!!! Your stories and your passion not only for cards but also for the friendship you have and you are building! I'm just happy to be a small part of it! Thanks so much!
@Rocketrickj18 Thanks, Rick! I hate to get on there and blubber like an idiot but I'm not going to stop and restart!🤣 Thank you for being an awesome dude and great friend!
Watched Chris and Jason's video. Just a great time to be had all around... Other than the accident... Good cards, good friends, good times! Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Troy, for the kind words. It's much appreciated. I also, through your comment, found and subscribed to your channel. I'll definitely check it out. Happy Hobbying!
Hi Bill! Sounds like you had a great time! It doesn’t get much better than hanging around with like minded friends! Love the Topps Giant Mantle pickup!
Fantastic weekend brother! Thank you so much for your hospitality and welcoming me into your home! You and Chris are way too kind. We will see each other soon my friend, I will make sure of it!
First off 2 very nice pickups! Secondly, as a fellow retiree, the uncommon bond between military personnel can never be replicated, the closest is the bond between families. But the bond in community can become strong as long as we are willing to work at it. Another great video! Oh and the emotional stuff- it only gets worse as we can older and we have more time to think about our friends in arms. Stay well! Greg from Ohio
You are correct. That's what I was fumbling through trying to say. I agree with you 100 percent and wish I could have articulated that better in the moment! Thanks as always, Greg. Be well, my friend.
I love it man! That is what I strongly desire from this hobby as well, and thankful to share a little of that with you. I do love that Giant Mantle, beautiful card! I will have it soon for sure!
@gocrazycardcollecting I love this part of the hobby! We are talking about going down to Springfield in the next few months. Maybe you can come up? I don't know how long of a drive it is. That Mantle is probably the cheapest SGC you can find. That and his Topps Game card. I'm happy we linked up Justin! Hopefully, we can hang out soon! Thanks, my friend.
Watched all 3 videos & just love being a part of such a great community. Couldn’t agree more with all of your comments. I’m experiencing the best time in the hobby as well because I’m choosing to connect beyond the comments. I think it’s important, if able, to go out of the comfort zone & connect. Awesome pickups as well. Great video Bill.
Thanks, Doug, and I couldn't agree more! Friendships and getting more involved in cardmunity definitely make the hobby more enjoyable. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video and accounting of a special weekend 👍. All the guys, Coop, Tom, Chris, Jason and yourself- what a blast. Its so nice ya'll were able to hang out. The relationships we make in this hobby are special, and as a 13 year USAF veteran, I agree on the similarities. Really enjoyed!
Hi Billy. Two really nice pickups, they are both beauties. So happy you guys had such a wonderful time. This cardmunity is so fantastic, and I'm so happy for you that it means a lot. I always enjoy your transparency in video's and in person, that's what makes you a great friend, which I'm so thankful for. We'll talk soon my friend.
@RipFan8 Thanks for the kind words, Stephen. You are an awesome hobby friend! Thanks again for the care package! It'll be featured in my next video. The cardmunity is absolutely amazing!
Gave your video a like Billy! Enjoyed the recounting card show and spending time with your friends in the hobby. And sharing of your personal mil. experience like that. Glad you did that. What a gift of those ‘60 topps cards from Chris. Hey Harold Baines! Super card. Thanks for sharing all of this.
@The_Cincinnati_Kid Thanks for watching that stumbling bumbling dumpster fire!🤣 I appreciate the kind words and your support of the channel. Many thanks, my friend!
@@billyballgamesportscards that’s not a dumpster fire. For anyone that’s served, they know what you’re saying. Call it self therapy instead. Be at peace my brother!
Great episode Billy. I watched Jason's video and will finish Chris's shortly. Sounds like you dudes had a great time. I loved your description of comparing comradery you get from being in the service to that of the cardmunity. Nice of Chris to gift you the 1960 Topps. I love than Mantle Giant by the way.
Thanks, Dan. It was awesome for sure. Chris is definitely an incredibly generous dude. I love the Topps Giants cards! I appreciate your support of the channel, my friend!
Hey Bill, I just finished watching Chris’ video when yours pop up next! Nothing better than hanging out with friends looking at cards and talking smack! Jason is a great guy, I am lucky enough to live near him and hang out with him. I look forward to the day we get a chance to walk a show together. Love the Mantle Giant, that is such a sweet set. Have a great week!
Love the Giant Mantle, solid pickup at that price. Looks like it was a good time. I haven’t been to the Columbia show, so maybe next time I will make the trip and join the shenanigans.
@Redneckclector Thanks a lot it's definitely an awesome card. It'd be great to have you out! I just looked for the schedule and can't find it. I think the next one is in October, maybe. I'll find out and let you know. Thanks for the support, my friend!
Sounds like tbe columbia card show was a great show. We visited there this past summer making our way to Tennessee. Always enjoy billy. Cool meet up with fellow you tubers.
@vintagecardssteve8582 It is a good show. There aren't many vintage dealers, but the ones that are there have pretty good stuff usually. It's always a good time to be involved in the youtube cardmunity. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Sounds like I missed out on a great day, let's go Westport show! Nice seeing Jason there, hope Chris had a great show. I'll shoot the video if we do Westport, ha ha. We hear the passion in your voice brother.
I know I’m there. Not the same been chasing it for 25 years it’s close with the card and poker community but I get it, vets understand me cuz we’ve been thru the same. My stories are locked away and it’s hard now dealing with health issues these videos and people are really nice to see and listen to.
Thanks, Cardshark. It really is almost like card therapy! I'm glad you have groups to share your excitement with. It's definitely meant a lot to me. Thanks for the kind words and your service. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Jim, it was awesome! I wish we could have gotten to talk at the National. Maybe Strongsville or another National. I appreciate the support.
Sounds like y'all had a great time! Always great when creators connect!
It was awesome other than Chris' fender bender!
Fantastic weekend brother! Thank you so much for your hospitality and welcoming me into your home! You and Chris are way too kind. We will see each other soon my friend, I will make sure of it!
It was my pleasure, Jason, and what an awesome surprise! I hope we can. Maybe we all come up there and hang out with you and Steve!

I would be happy with those two cards added to my collection at 150.00 .
Great score
