Terry, Always love hearing you talk about your cards. I had to stop what I was doing to look at my phone on this one and see these stunning cards. I also walk every day with my wife, I look forward to each morning , we walk right after our cup of coffee. Like you I am thinking of cards and how I can show each one together with the others ha ha. It truly does bring the hobby to life more than when I collected alone. I always love hearing you talk cards and never miss an episode. Keep sharing your mind with us and your amazing collection. Have a wonderful day my friend and Double shaka
Hi Dylan! Thank you, my friend for the kind words. Walking is a one of the best things you can do for your overall health. I look forward to breaking away and recharging each day. I am glad you are able to do the same and even get to enjoy your wife's company. Thanks for your all your support. You entertain me on my drives and walks as well. Keep it up!
My pleasure Todd! One of the joys of collect is not only acquiring the card but the knowledge that comes along with it. Being I don't buy many cards each month, I can get invested in the stories of the players I do collect. That is where much of the joy is for me. Thanks for going back and watching my videos and commenting.
I love that we get to enjoy the fruits of your walks… during our walks! “Mr. Team” is a nickname I have literally never heard given to anyone - and IMMEDIATELY helps me know who Bob Elliot was. What great cards, great curation, and great expression of all the above.
Another wonderful presentation, Terry. Know thyself. Yes, you do. What a nice transition from your pre-YT collecting days to your present "collecting self". I always appreciate how you effortlessly blend the artistry and history of the cards with informative stories and statistics about the players.
Thanks Rob! I appreciate the kind words. To build the collection of your dreams, you have to know what you’re dreaming about. I love your focus as well. You have been around awhile and know what you want. It makes collecting that much more rewarding. Take care, my friend.
Great additions Terry. Such wonderful vibrant colors and characters on those cards. The stories you share for acquiring or adding to your pc are appealing. Way to stay focussed my friend.
Thanks Dan! I enjoy taking my viewers through my thought process on purchasing the card and why it matters to me. The Leaf Football cards are taking me into the world of late 40s football, which I want to learn more about. Bob Elliot was one of the top 20 or so players of his era, and I want him reflected in my collection. It was also the perfect 1st 48-49 Bowman baseball card to add. I wanted a player that was well regarded who also happened to connect to a Braves team my father-in-law remembers growing up.
Terry, congrats on adding a visually stunning Leaf Bob Elliot to your PC! I love the simplicity of the design, the bright yet calming blue background and the big block letters that make every player matter! Nicely centered too! 😊👊
Hi Adam! Thanks so much. I was happy to add those Leaf cards to my collection. I definitely would like to get a few more of the baseball. Take care, my friend.
Thank you for another wonderful video. I'm always impressed with your sharp eye for color and presentation in the cards you chose to add. You have a remarkable ability to curate and collect such strikingly beautiful cards. And of course, major thanks for the shoutout and link to my 48 Braves video and the mention of my Uncle Ralph, who is still chugging along after turning 100 years old in January. He's expected to attend Easter Mass next weekend, which will be his first outing in a bit.
Hi Dan, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you also for the kind words. I love to present and talk about my cards. I listened for a second time your tribute to your Uncle Ralph and the 48 Braves while I was walking yesterday morning. Your weekly shows are one of my favorites to watch on TH-cam. You talk not only about the HOF players but also the stars and contributors, which I appreciate. While I love cards, I am student of sports history and that is the content I find most compelling. So, I appreciate all you do. God Bless Uncle Ralph. I am glad to hear he is able to attend Easter Mass. Take care
Hi Terry. Really nice pickups. You are truly a unique collector, who really appreciates the cards you pick up for what they represents to you. Love the program. Those football cards are really sharp. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks Stephen! I do love the cards I have. They all have a place within my collection and do represent me as a collector. I am glad you enjoyed. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Just beautiful cards Terry!! I don’t collect Football cards, but after seeing these cards, I might look into them!! Thanks for sharing as always!!! Dave
Hello Terry , as always i enjoyed to watch the cards, listen to the stories and listen to yours collecting thoughts. I love too this 1952 Boston Braves program ! The first time i have heard about Bob Elliot was through a Tom Souvenir Programs here video. One or two month ago i purchased a 1949 Leaf Bob Elliot card but for some reason i don't know the seller refunded me and i never received the card. Thanks Terry for sharing and Happy Collecting.
Hi Fabien, as always, thanks for sharing your thoughts. That’s funny and unfortunate that you didn’t get the Bob Elliot. It’s a beautiful card. I hope you can get one later. Yes, the 52 program is a nice one. It has a lot of meaning to me. Take care, my friend.
I feel we can find some of our best ideas or gain clarity to some of our most puzzling problems during those moments of downtime that we get the chance to reflect on things. Thank you for sharing some of yours and your process. Great cards Terry! Always enjoy hearing about Pihos and that Green is super cool! Have a great week my friend
Hi Joe, you're right about those quiet moments giving us time to reflect and coming up with good ideas. I am clad you enjoyed the video and cards. You have a great rest of the week.
Another fantastic video Terry and amazing cards. 3 super looking cards of players that I had not heard of before. I enjoyed learning about all three. Congrats on the great additions and thanks for sharing.
Those Leaf cards look really great together Terry. I always appreciate hearing your approach to building your collection. It's helped me with my approach and I'm sure you have helped others as well. Great stuff!
Awesome that you added a 48-49 Leaf baseball to your collection. There is a simple pleasure to looking at these cards. I didn’t know about Bob Elliott. Thanks for sharing.
Terry, Again what wonderful stories that emphasize your collecting style and your commitment to your collecting strategy! Congrats on your pickups and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rick! I am glad you enjoyed the video and my new additions. The Leaf Baseball and Football sets are beautiful. I wish the Leaf Baseball were a little more affordable.
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 I agree! I have several examples of 1948-49 Leaf baseball cards. My favorite is the Joe DiMaggio! A complete set, however, is outside the boundaries of practicality. With Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Satchel Paige, and Jackie Robinson, as well as other stars and scarce cards, there are just too many expensive cards to put together such a set. Really too bad!
That Leaf issue is my vintage card secret love. While I only have one card from the baseball set I love every card from any of the sports when I see them. It’s one of those regrets I have that I didn’t get more of them back when I was able to add to my collection at a faster pace but then again only having one may make the others more beautiful and helps me appreciate them more than if I had them.
Thanks Drew! Up until this year, I didn't own any. Like you, I have been collecting for a long time and they just weren't on my radar. Now I am at the point where i want to add some of the cards from these sets. It will be mostly football as the baseball cards tend to be pretty expensive. I am looking more at 49 Bowman for my baseball additions, but a Leaf Baseball here and there is part of the plan. Maybe you can add one here and there if any catch you eye. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I learn more with each video & am grateful for your style Terry. The cards have beautiful colors & are just so pleasing to look at. Thanks for sharing my friend & have a great weekend.
I really like how both of you Doug, and Terry do videos. The voice over narrative, and the way you guys are really good story tellers. Kind of reminds me of The Wonder Years. Daniel Stern talking/reacting to the younger, Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage).
@@ACD1994 Thanks Andrew. I am glad you day enjoy our videos. I am sure Doug would agree that we are passionate about the hobby and enjoying express it in the time and care we put into the planning of our videos. It is nice to know it resonates with you and others.
43rd like - I am the same way with my walks, enjoy them immensely and gets me to slow down enough to reflect and let my mind wonder across different topics. The '49 Leaf Pihos card is great. Really neat hearing about him as well as the advice he received from DiMaggio. Really cool '49 Leaf of Elliot and fun to hear how good of a player he was.
Hi Brian, thanks for the like and taking a moment to share how you spend your walks. Pihos definitely left on top of his game. Football was a lot different then. A lot of these guys were making more money outside the game, and they often left for more stable jobs. Elliot was a good one. It amazes me the difference in prices between a HOF player and a guy that was a star of his day. He was as good as some guys that are in the HOF, but because he doesn't have that designation his prices are far lower.
I try to get my 10,000 steps in daily but it doesn't always work out. I also think about cards while I'm walking. I love hearing your purchasing thought process. I'm trying to be more thoughtful in my collecting goals and focus more on quality over quantity. I love this community and all the friendships that have come with it. Fantastic cards and stories. I always have a special interest in players that served our country like Pihos. Take care Terry 👊⚾
Hi Clint! It is tough to make the time to walk every day, but it is good you keep track of your steps. I don't think to do that. The players back during Pihos' time were relatable. I find them fascinating. They served their country, were patriotic and had the same types of struggles as the rest of society. Especially, football players who had second jobs during the football season. Most were making less than baseball players. Guys would go to practice and then head to work. I agree it is a great community. It makes collecting that much more fun. Good luck with your focus and collecting goals. Take care, my friend.
This video was just the message I needed this Friday night, Terry. Hearing about your routine cool evening upper new york walks with the family dog helped me exponentially on a stressful work night in the LA Harbor. Rest assured your efforts and cool, poised and extraordinary shared soothed the savage beast that is the working stiff I am and got my mind centered back on safety and appreciations to be working and happily looking forward. Most high and heartfelt congratulations on your Bob Elliot. Hornsby's recommendation of the man was gritty and real and direct so we can ascertain it was of the utmost truth. I respect so much how you have zeroed in on just what you want in your collection. I kid myself and try something I consider meditation. To remove all though up to and including any kind of notion of self. But I will darned if visions of cards don't intrude on the desired nirvana. But ya know, intuition tells me those silence breaking visions of rectangular cardboard mastery might just be the right cards. Why would silly fad cards block out the chance of possibly attaining true inner enlightenment?? Haha It's tough to know where I will be as a collector in ten years but I'm confident where yourself will be and if you are still up to having us along for the ride, we will remain a captive audience. I've had buddies and pals growing up sharing their cards that didn't hit home like these earnest and honest glimpses into a private collection have. Will most definitely take a look at the video shared in the link below. Have a great first weekend of Spring and please give your dog a warm pat on the head from this community member. Talk to you next time.
Hi Avian, I am so glad to hear that this video resonated with you. As blessed as we are to have a job, the stresses of the workplace can still get to us. You're right that we have to keep moving forward. My knowledge of the 40s in baseball and football is pretty weak compared to the 50s and thereafter. I did not know much about the career of Bob Elliot beyond him winning the 1947 MVP and playing third place for the Boston Braves. It turns out he had quite a career and was probably the best third baseman of the 1940s. It was an interesting decade given the impact of the war on every part of our society including sports. Elliot put together some impressive seasons throughout the decade and into the 1950s. So, he is a nice addition to my collection. Yes, the vision of certain cards racing through your mind is a good clue in helping you shape the collection you desire. There is only so much money to spend, so why not use it to acquire the cards you truly enjoy. There is nothing wrong with pondering on the direction you want to go. I hope to be in it for the long haul, God willing. The hobby has brought me joy, focus and solace. TH-cam has given me a forum to share my collection and thoughts each week. I am grateful for both. I did give my dog a pat for you. Thanks for always taking the time. Take care, Terry
Hey Terry beautiful cards as always! Really love the 49 Leaf set, to me the colors are stunning! That Bob Elliot card looks great! Love the Pihos too, Leaf clearly didn’t keep those beautiful colors just to their baseball set! The 51 Bowman Green is another beauty, really great image there of the greatest defensive end in pro football! It’s always a pleasure to follow along on your collecting journey and listening to your thoughts and opinions!
Hi Jim! Yeah, those 48-49 Leaf Baseball cards are beautiful. I like the ones that have the two tone backgrounds. I know you have a beautiful Spahn from that set. That Green card is a beauty. I should have made the connection in the video to Bowman being a Philadelphia company. Maybe that had something to do with the greatest end remark. Haha. Have a great rest of the weekend Jim!
Love the Bob Elliot card Terry. He was a fantastic ball player. One of the things I often enjoy doing is looking at baseball stats from different eras to identify guys I may have never known about. That is how I found out about Vern Stephens, beautiful 52 Stephens by the way! It is also how I learned about Bob Elliot. That John Green card is just an amazing looking card, just amazing artwork! Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend!
Hi Steve! I was just responding to Dan Bernier's comment that the Bob Elliot card was the perfect first Leaf card to add. I would've loved to of acquired the Vern Stephens, but it is a short print costing much more than I want to spend. The Elliot though was right within my budget. He was a top 20 player of the 1940s and I would argue the best third baseman of the decade. To have five 100 RBI season in your career is pretty impressive. I just love the look of that card. I hope to add a few more 48-49 Leaf Baseball cards to my collection, but I plan to more aggressively pursue the 48 and 49 Leaf Football. I want to learn more about this era of football, and it will be find to acquire the cards and some magazines from the time to go along with them. I love that 52 Bowman Vern Stephens. It is my favorite card of his. You have a great weekend too.
Great looking Bob Elliott! He had some great years in the 1940's. Nice football pickups. The 1950's football showcases at the Dallas Show for the dealer I was working for, were very popular.
Hi Terry! Great video. I also go for daily walks. And usually walk during my lunch hour. It really helps me think things through. I liked how you mentioned the cards that you pass on. That’s been going through my head a lot lately. The Bob Elliot was a great choice for your first 48/49 Leaf. Players like him is what I find so interesting when collecting. The big names and Hall of Famers are great to have but it’s guys like Elliot that give substance to collections. When you lined the Pihos, Waterfield, and Walker up I actually said out loud “oh my gosh”. Just because they looked so great together. I’ve been looking at those Leafs for football and will probably pursue some after I finish off some other projects. Seeing this video makes me want to start right away. The John Green is such a great image and the back made me laugh. The writer must have been a huge Eagles fan with a point to prove. If I was 20 years old working for Bowman I may have slid that language into every Colts cards, haha. Have a great weekend, Terry! I hope your son’s bracket is still looking strong. Or as strong as it can thus far.
Hi Andy! I am glad to hear you go for daily walks as well. It helps me on so many levels. I am glad to hear it does for you too. I could not agree more on a player like Elliot adding substance and depth to a collection. The HOFers are a lot of fun to collect too, but the game is so much more than them. As I become more of a student of the sports I enjoy, I have a desire to connect with very good and influential players through their cards. I could not imagine my collection without guys like Colavito, Boyer, Newcombe, Garvey, Pierce and so many others. I am not out to impress with my collection, I am building something that has meaning to me and brings joy. You will not regret adding Leaf cards when the time is right. Our friend Chris from Stories in Cardboard tells me the Leaf cards can be addicting and he is right. When you have one in your hand, you want more. However, I just keep telling myself be patient and appreciate the ones I got. I will continue to chip away over time. I am eager to know what projects you're working on. I hope you share them in a video if you haven't already. Even if it is just telling us what you're up to. I love to hear what thoughtful collectors are doing. Yeah, I am not sure what was behind John Green being the best end in football. I should've mentioned Bowman was a Philadelphia company which may of had something to do with it. That's funny you would have done that with the Colts cards. My son's bracket is hanging on. Haha. Take care!
Terry, wise words my friend. Glad you found a Bob Elliot that's right for you. I've looked for his card many times and he's on my list of players to add to my collection. That is an amazing Pihos card, the colors look bold especially for a late 40s Leaf. Congrats on the pick ups.
Thanks Sammy. Elliot was a heck of a player from that era. I saw a beautiful 50 Bowman which I almost bought but I already had the Leaf. I don’t need two card of his at this time. The 48 Leaf football set has sucked me in. I love the era and look of the cards. Thanks, my friend.
Another great one, Terry. Can you imagine a card today saying something like "Mike Trout is a 3 time MVP, and in the off season he's a salesman at Macy's". LOL More like "in the off season his fans need a second job to be able to buy tickets". Have a great weekend Terry!
Thanks Mike! It was different times for sure. You're not kidding about the fans needing a second job for tickets. I make a good living and have four kids, and I wouldn't pay the crazy prices for tickets. You have a great weekend too. Hopefully, you don't have to do the vacuuming.
Really like that Bob Elliott. I have done some research on him and sounds like a very good player most of the YT community does not talk about. Love the look of that card. Always enjoy seeing the football cards as well. Thanks for sharing with us Terry.
Always inspiring. Love the art on those three new pickups. I love the John Green the reach up and the eagle logo above almost like it’s dropping the ball off into his hands. Very interesting stats on bob Elliot. You know you have some talent if you’re being compared to Pie Traynor. Great stuff as always Terry!
Hi Mike! I am glad you enjoyed. You're right about the Eagle looking like it is dropping the ball into Green's hand. Bob Elliot was one of the 20 best players of the decade and I would argue the best third baseman of the 40s. A perfect first Leaf baseball card to add to my collection. Yes, being compared to Pie Traynor is impressive. So, is the praise he received from Rogers Hornsby.
I was wondering Terry when you were going to expand your 48/49 Leaf series cards but I need not wonder anymore. Nice additions to the collection. I’ve often thought of adding such cards but the competition is intense for them and naturally, the prices reflect that competition. Nice additions, pal. Similarly, my birth year 51 Bowman football cards are also widely popular & I got priced out on a few auctions last night because as you say, I know myself (& my fixed budget). 😆
Hi Gary! The Leaf Baseball are especially pricey, but you can get fair prices on some of the stars and lower tier HOFers if your patient. The short prints and bigger HOFers are very expensive. I don't plan to get too many but I like the cards. You can get good prices on the football. Especially, since the NFL players have cards in both 48 and 49. I am happy with getting one card from either set since they for the most part look the same. We have in common knowing ourselves. Haha. Budgets are important.
Always love the thought and care you put into your videos Terry. I've learned so much from you and your collection. I knew Elliot was a good player, but didn't realize he'd won and mvp. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and collection with us.
Hi Kevin! Good to hear from you. I hope all is going well with the move to the new house. Thank you for the kind words. It is a pleasure sharing videos with the community each week. I didn't know a lot about Elliott until recently either. I enjoy learning about players and adding them to my collection. Take care, my friend.
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 the move is completed but the renovation is a little behind schedule. Not much we can do but wait for things to come in and get done.
Hi Terry: I've always meant to ask you about your walks as I know you think of program ideas or sometimes listen to TH-cam. I keep telling myself to walk more. How long are your walks and do you walk everyday? What time of the day do you enjoy walking the most? I have NEVER heard of Bob Elliot before. Most likely cause of the teams he played for. I didn't even know he was the 1947 MVP! Amazing I've never heard if him. That's a great 1948/49 Leaf card. I am really liking that set even though I only own two. Your 1951 Bowman Spahn. and Sain cards are brilliant. Love the pitching poses and all three cards go Weill with your wife's Uncle's Boston Braves card. I gotta get that Bob Waterfield card! John Green was also a salesman during the offseason. That's what they did back then. Great stuff today, Terry!
Hi Rick, I walk everyday. I do about a half mile with the dog two to three times a day and then 2.5 to 3 miles on my own. So about 3.5 to 4.5 miles a day. If I go in the office, I will cut my evening walk a little shorter. I like to walk after work around 4 or 4:30. I didn’t know a lot about Elliot either up until a few months ago. He was quite a player. Those are the guys that I have been enjoying collecting for baseball as of late. Those are my favorite Spahn and Sain cards. Yeah, Waterfield would look good in your collection.
That program from the Braves game is very cool. I agree on the YT thoughts. I have changed the way I collect to some extent but have kept some of my original ways of collecting as well. Definitely picked up some cards that I probably never would have due to YT.
Thanks Greg! That is a great program. I gravitate toward Boston Braves items probably because my father in law saw them play as a teenager. Yeah, I think most of us are at heart a certain type of collector but being exposed to other cards and ideas enhances the collecting experience.
Your vids are always time well spent to watch! Those Leaf cards are so beautiful. But the ‘81 Topps Joe Morgan would be my nostalgia choice for the video. Thank you for sharing Terry. Have a great weekend. CK.
Hi CK! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for letting me know that the 81 Topps Joe Morgan evoked nostalgia with you. It is a great looking card. That was the time he was bouncing around and helping teams make the playoffs. You have a great weekend too.
I love walks too. Great self-care. And when I can, hikes are one of my favorite things to do. I love that you put thought into the cards you want and how they connect to the evolving collection. I have such a long list of cards I want lol. I really think I ought to focus more on individual cards, because they'll mean more to me. But man, I love to rip some packs and see what's inside 😁. I'm trying to balance that, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days I figure more on the individual cards I want and put the breaks on print money into the pack ripping. I guess time will tell. Great insight in this video Terry. I'm only half way through so I may comment again, but these are some great thoughts 👍
Hi Brian! I am glad to hear you're a fellow walker. I am still too cool to be a mall walker, but I imagine I will make the transition someday. Haha Nothing wrong with having plenty cards on your list, but it is a good idea to figure out how you want to approach acquiring some of them. Nothing wrong with ripping back either. The rush it gives you when you get some ink, or a serial numbered card seems pretty exciting. I never went that route, but I get it. Thanks so much, my friend for the kind words.
I know I sound like a broken record, but love hearing your thoughts and the cards are so fantastic. That Pihos is so striking with that vibrant blue. Gorgeous stuff. Have a great weekend Terry
Hi David! you don't sound like a broken record to me. I am always grateful for your kind words about my collection and videos. I love that Pihos card with that blue. There are different color variations on the uniform, but I don't plan on adding any of those. You have a great weekend too.
Terry, I think it can take a great deal of discipline to understand who you are as a collector or the direction to take. It can be easy to fall off your path and begin collecting things that don't really fit into your collection. You do a great job of staying in your lane. The more I think of it, I wonder if most people either have not found their path or know who they are as a collector. Just thinking out loud here. Did NFL teams where white jerseys during home games back the 50s? As always, you display great cards and provide the perfect narrative.
Hi Drew! Well stated about discipline and staying in your lane. I agree with you that some struggle with focus and knowing their path. Not everyone has to collect the same way, but I think if you accumulate cards and rarely look at them, then why are you adding them to begin with. Yes, I believe NFL teams wore their white jerseys for home games in that era. I am not sure if there were any exceptions. Thanks as always, my friend. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Wow the algorithm strikes again! New Sub here!! I really like these kinds of "passion, history, story-telling" narration videos and you are teaching tons of baseball & football history!!
Thank you for the kind words and subscribing to my channel. In my own small way, I want to share the stories of the players I collect and what they mean to me. Take care, Terry
I'm liking that Joe Morgan 1981, Jean Belivue ,1976 Jim Palmer , is it 1980/1981 Marcel Dionne , I like the note book way more over the phone that ruined the world , if that's the same set that has Joe DiMaggio in it that's a nice card a 4 for 1949!!! was Bob Elliot a common I don't see him in the Vintage Beckett under leaf 1949? Pete Phios , nice Doak Walker and Bob Waterfield , nice John Green , wow a program for 10 cents St.Louis Cards vs Boston Braves very cool Am I missing something but it seems like 58.00 for a 1949 card in a 4 isn't very expensive? granted it's Bob Eliot and not Luke Appling, , Lou Brodeou, George Kell and Larry Dolby but does it seem that 58.00 isn't a lot for a 4? in Beckett there's the guide for leaf theres no 48 so it's 1949? is tha Phios 16 A or 16 B? in beckett theres 2 letters for him under 16? Did the home teams wear white back then? or were they playing somebody who wore there dark on the road ? did anybody from my time win that award the receving triple crown? if only one time that's fine 1. Cliff Branch 2. Fred Bieltnikoff 3. Lynn Swann 4.John Stalworth 5. Drew Pearson 6. Haven Moses 7. Rick Upchurch 8.Darryl Stingley 9. Stanley Morgan 10. Billie White shoes Johnson 12. Ken Burroughs 13. Isac Hayes 14. Mark Duper 15. Nat Moore 16 Duriel Harris 17. Mark Clayton 18. Jerry Rice 19 Dwight Clark any of these recivers?
Hi Mark, I apologize for the late reply. The week got away from me. The 48-49 Leaf is the same as the one with the Dimaggio. Elliott is likely a common in the price kids and is priced like a minor star on eBay. He can be had pretty cheap compared some of the other bigger stars, but he was a very good player. I call it 48-49 Leaf. The copyright on some of the cards is 1948, but they likely issued in 1949. There is a 16Y and 16B for the Pihos. I have the 16Y with the yellow letters. The rarer one is the 16B with the blue letters. I guess the 16Y is 16A in Beckett. I believe the home team almost always wore white back then. Only Jerry Rice won it from your list. Sterling Sharpe did too from the same era. In recent years Steve Smith and Cooper Kupp won it. Thanks as always for the comment.
Beautiful additions, Terry. Those 48 Leafs are so colorful!
Thanks Gannon! I am really getting into the Leaf cards. The baseball cards can be very expensive. Football is much more affordable.
Terry,
Always love hearing you talk about your cards. I had to stop what I was doing to look at my phone on this one and see these stunning cards. I also walk every day with my wife, I look forward to each morning , we walk right after our cup of coffee. Like you I am thinking of cards and how I can show each one together with the others ha ha. It truly does bring the hobby to life more than when I collected alone. I always love hearing you talk cards and never miss an episode. Keep sharing your mind with us and your amazing collection. Have a wonderful day my friend and Double shaka
Hi Dylan! Thank you, my friend for the kind words. Walking is a one of the best things you can do for your overall health. I look forward to breaking away and recharging each day. I am glad you are able to do the same and even get to enjoy your wife's company. Thanks for your all your support. You entertain me on my drives and walks as well. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing these beautiful Leaf cards TJ. They are truly works of art. Enjoyed learning about the players…all of whom I had not heard of 👍
My pleasure Todd! One of the joys of collect is not only acquiring the card but the knowledge that comes along with it. Being I don't buy many cards each month, I can get invested in the stories of the players I do collect. That is where much of the joy is for me. Thanks for going back and watching my videos and commenting.
I love that we get to enjoy the fruits of your walks… during our walks! “Mr. Team” is a nickname I have literally never heard given to anyone - and IMMEDIATELY helps me know who Bob Elliot was. What great cards, great curation, and great expression of all the above.
Thanks Mookie. Listening to TH-cam often makes my walks go by quickly. Yeah, I love the nickname "Mr. Team." He was quite the player.
Another wonderful presentation, Terry. Know thyself. Yes, you do. What a nice transition from your pre-YT collecting days to your present "collecting self". I always appreciate how you effortlessly blend the artistry and history of the cards with informative stories and statistics about the players.
Thanks Rob! I appreciate the kind words. To build the collection of your dreams, you have to know what you’re dreaming about. I love your focus as well. You have been around awhile and know what you want. It makes collecting that much more rewarding. Take care, my friend.
Great additions Terry. Such wonderful vibrant colors and characters on those cards. The stories you share for acquiring or adding to your pc are appealing. Way to stay focussed my friend.
Thanks Dan! I enjoy taking my viewers through my thought process on purchasing the card and why it matters to me. The Leaf Football cards are taking me into the world of late 40s football, which I want to learn more about. Bob Elliot was one of the top 20 or so players of his era, and I want him reflected in my collection. It was also the perfect 1st 48-49 Bowman baseball card to add. I wanted a player that was well regarded who also happened to connect to a Braves team my father-in-law remembers growing up.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Absolutely beautiful cards. Always enjoy my friend
Thanks Scott!
Terry, congrats on adding a visually stunning Leaf Bob Elliot to your PC! I love the simplicity of the design, the bright yet calming blue background and the big block letters that make every player matter! Nicely centered too! 😊👊
Hi Adam! Thanks so much. I was happy to add those Leaf cards to my collection. I definitely would like to get a few more of the baseball. Take care, my friend.
Beautiful Leaf cards Terry; they fit perfectly into your collection
Thanks Mitchell!
Thank you for another wonderful video. I'm always impressed with your sharp eye for color and presentation in the cards you chose to add. You have a remarkable ability to curate and collect such strikingly beautiful cards.
And of course, major thanks for the shoutout and link to my 48 Braves video and the mention of my Uncle Ralph, who is still chugging along after turning 100 years old in January. He's expected to attend Easter Mass next weekend, which will be his first outing in a bit.
Hi Dan, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you also for the kind words. I love to present and talk about my cards.
I listened for a second time your tribute to your Uncle Ralph and the 48 Braves while I was walking yesterday morning. Your weekly shows are one of my favorites to watch on TH-cam. You talk not only about the HOF players but also the stars and contributors, which I appreciate. While I love cards, I am student of sports history and that is the content I find most compelling. So, I appreciate all you do. God Bless Uncle Ralph. I am glad to hear he is able to attend Easter Mass.
Take care
Great cards and stories
Thanks you!
Hi Terry. Really nice pickups. You are truly a unique collector, who really appreciates the cards you pick up for what they represents to you. Love the program. Those football cards are really sharp. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks Stephen! I do love the cards I have. They all have a place within my collection and do represent me as a collector. I am glad you enjoyed. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Thanks for taking us along on your collecting journey. Really appreciate you sharing this with us.
Thanks Orlando!
Three fantastic cards Terry! Loved the video and information you shared.
Thanks Dan! I am glad you enjoyed.
Just beautiful cards Terry!! I don’t collect Football cards, but after seeing these cards, I might look into them!! Thanks for sharing as always!!! Dave
Thanks Dave! Football cards from that era are beautiful.
Hello Terry , as always i enjoyed to watch the cards, listen to the stories and listen to yours collecting thoughts. I love too this 1952 Boston Braves program ! The first time i have heard about Bob Elliot was through a Tom Souvenir Programs here video. One or two month ago i purchased a 1949 Leaf Bob Elliot card but for some reason i don't know the seller refunded me and i never received the card. Thanks Terry for sharing and Happy Collecting.
Hi Fabien, as always, thanks for sharing your thoughts. That’s funny and unfortunate that you didn’t get the Bob Elliot. It’s a beautiful card. I hope you can get one later. Yes, the 52 program is a nice one. It has a lot of meaning to me. Take care, my friend.
I feel we can find some of our best ideas or gain clarity to some of our most puzzling problems during those moments of downtime that we get the chance to reflect on things. Thank you for sharing some of yours and your process. Great cards Terry! Always enjoy hearing about Pihos and that Green is super cool! Have a great week my friend
Hi Joe, you're right about those quiet moments giving us time to reflect and coming up with good ideas. I am clad you enjoyed the video and cards. You have a great rest of the week.
Another fantastic video Terry and amazing cards. 3 super looking cards of players that I had not heard of before. I enjoyed learning about all three. Congrats on the great additions and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ed! I am glad you enjoyed. They are three beautiful cards. May you and your family have a blessed Easter. Take care, my friend.
Those Leaf cards look really great together Terry. I always appreciate hearing your approach to building your collection. It's helped me with my approach and I'm sure you have helped others as well. Great stuff!
Thanks Chris! We learn from one and other. I appreciate all the help you have given me.
You’re right Chris. You & Terry along with @SconnieTradition are my vintage football mentors
@@GoldenSlumber474 Thanks Gary. Chris and Scott know their football and have great collections.
Awesome that you added a 48-49 Leaf baseball to your collection. There is a simple pleasure to looking at these cards.
I didn’t know about Bob Elliott. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ken! I agree that they are a pleasure to look at.
Great cards Terry. I love the design of the 48 49 Leaf set. Thank you for the education on Bob Elliot.
Thanks Jason! Elliot was quite the player.
Terry, Again what wonderful stories that emphasize your collecting style and your commitment to your collecting strategy! Congrats on your pickups and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rick! I am glad you enjoyed the video and my new additions. The Leaf Baseball and Football sets are beautiful. I wish the Leaf Baseball were a little more affordable.
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 I agree! I have several examples of 1948-49 Leaf baseball cards. My favorite is the Joe DiMaggio! A complete set, however, is outside the boundaries of practicality. With Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Satchel Paige, and Jackie Robinson, as well as other stars and scarce cards, there are just too many expensive cards to put together such a set. Really too bad!
Nice reflections and great cards shown and talked about.
Thanks Diego! Have a great weekend.
Great looking doak walker card. The colors are bright and looks like it’s in great shape
Love that card. Thanks Tony!
Nice program from 1952! I just picked up a Yankees schedule from 1952 at an antique mall! Thanks for sharing, Terry
Hey Dre! Nice pickup on the 52 schedule.
Those are great items to enhance your collection.
That Leaf issue is my vintage card secret love. While I only have one card from the baseball set I love every card from any of the sports when I see them. It’s one of those regrets I have that I didn’t get more of them back when I was able to add to my collection at a faster pace but then again only having one may make the others more beautiful and helps me
appreciate them more than if I had them.
Thanks Drew! Up until this year, I didn't own any. Like you, I have been collecting for a long time and they just weren't on my radar. Now I am at the point where i want to add some of the cards from these sets. It will be mostly football as the baseball cards tend to be pretty expensive. I am looking more at 49 Bowman for my baseball additions, but a Leaf Baseball here and there is part of the plan. Maybe you can add one here and there if any catch you eye. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I learn more with each video & am grateful for your style Terry. The cards have beautiful colors & are just so pleasing to look at. Thanks for sharing my friend & have a great weekend.
Thanks Doug! Those Leaf cards just pop. Both the baseball and football. I am glad you enjoyed. You have a great weekend too!
I really like how both of you Doug, and Terry do videos. The voice over narrative, and the way you guys are really good story tellers. Kind of reminds me of The Wonder Years. Daniel Stern talking/reacting to the younger, Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage).
@@ACD1994 Thanks Andrew. I am glad you day enjoy our videos. I am sure Doug would agree that we are passionate about the hobby and enjoying express it in the time and care we put into the planning of our videos. It is nice to know it resonates with you and others.
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 You're welcome
43rd like - I am the same way with my walks, enjoy them immensely and gets me to slow down enough to reflect and let my mind wonder across different topics. The '49 Leaf Pihos card is great. Really neat hearing about him as well as the advice he received from DiMaggio. Really cool '49 Leaf of Elliot and fun to hear how good of a player he was.
Hi Brian, thanks for the like and taking a moment to share how you spend your walks. Pihos definitely left on top of his game. Football was a lot different then. A lot of these guys were making more money outside the game, and they often left for more stable jobs. Elliot was a good one. It amazes me the difference in prices between a HOF player and a guy that was a star of his day. He was as good as some guys that are in the HOF, but because he doesn't have that designation his prices are far lower.
I try to get my 10,000 steps in daily but it doesn't always work out. I also think about cards while I'm walking. I love hearing your purchasing thought process. I'm trying to be more thoughtful in my collecting goals and focus more on quality over quantity. I love this community and all the friendships that have come with it. Fantastic cards and stories. I always have a special interest in players that served our country like Pihos. Take care Terry 👊⚾
Hi Clint! It is tough to make the time to walk every day, but it is good you keep track of your steps. I don't think to do that. The players back during Pihos' time were relatable. I find them fascinating. They served their country, were patriotic and had the same types of struggles as the rest of society. Especially, football players who had second jobs during the football season. Most were making less than baseball players. Guys would go to practice and then head to work.
I agree it is a great community. It makes collecting that much more fun. Good luck with your focus and collecting goals.
Take care, my friend.
This video was just the message I needed this Friday night, Terry. Hearing about your routine cool evening upper new york walks with the family dog helped me exponentially on a stressful work night in the LA Harbor. Rest assured your efforts and cool, poised and extraordinary shared soothed the savage beast that is the working stiff I am and got my mind centered back on safety and appreciations to be working and happily looking forward.
Most high and heartfelt congratulations on your Bob Elliot. Hornsby's recommendation of the man was gritty and real and direct so we can ascertain it was of the utmost truth.
I respect so much how you have zeroed in on just what you want in your collection.
I kid myself and try something I consider meditation. To remove all though up to and including any kind of notion of self. But I will darned if visions of cards don't intrude on the desired nirvana. But ya know, intuition tells me those silence breaking visions of rectangular cardboard mastery might just be the right cards. Why would silly fad cards block out the chance of possibly attaining true inner enlightenment?? Haha
It's tough to know where I will be as a collector in ten years but I'm confident where yourself will be and if you are still up to having us along for the ride, we will remain a captive audience. I've had buddies and pals growing up sharing their cards that didn't hit home like these earnest and honest glimpses into a private collection have.
Will most definitely take a look at the video shared in the link below. Have a great first weekend of Spring and please give your dog a warm pat on the head from this community member. Talk to you next time.
Hi Avian, I am so glad to hear that this video resonated with you. As blessed as we are to have a job, the stresses of the workplace can still get to us. You're right that we have to keep moving forward.
My knowledge of the 40s in baseball and football is pretty weak compared to the 50s and thereafter. I did not know much about the career of Bob Elliot beyond him winning the 1947 MVP and playing third place for the Boston Braves. It turns out he had quite a career and was probably the best third baseman of the 1940s. It was an interesting decade given the impact of the war on every part of our society including sports. Elliot put together some impressive seasons throughout the decade and into the 1950s. So, he is a nice addition to my collection.
Yes, the vision of certain cards racing through your mind is a good clue in helping you shape the collection you desire. There is only so much money to spend, so why not use it to acquire the cards you truly enjoy. There is nothing wrong with pondering on the direction you want to go.
I hope to be in it for the long haul, God willing. The hobby has brought me joy, focus and solace. TH-cam has given me a forum to share my collection and thoughts each week. I am grateful for both.
I did give my dog a pat for you. Thanks for always taking the time.
Take care,
Terry
Hey Terry beautiful cards as always! Really love the 49 Leaf set, to me the colors are stunning! That Bob Elliot card looks great! Love the Pihos too, Leaf clearly didn’t keep those beautiful colors just to their baseball set! The 51 Bowman Green is another beauty, really great image there of the greatest defensive end in pro football!
It’s always a pleasure to follow along on your collecting journey and listening to your thoughts and opinions!
Hi Jim! Yeah, those 48-49 Leaf Baseball cards are beautiful. I like the ones that have the two tone backgrounds. I know you have a beautiful Spahn from that set. That Green card is a beauty. I should have made the connection in the video to Bowman being a Philadelphia company. Maybe that had something to do with the greatest end remark. Haha. Have a great rest of the weekend Jim!
Terry great video - really enjoyed and thanks for the additional information. I always enjoy learning.
Thanks Pastor Craig. I am glad you enjoyed.
Love the Bob Elliot card Terry. He was a fantastic ball player. One of the things I often enjoy doing is looking at baseball stats from different eras to identify guys I may have never known about. That is how I found out about Vern Stephens, beautiful 52 Stephens by the way! It is also how I learned about Bob Elliot.
That John Green card is just an amazing looking card, just amazing artwork!
Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend!
Hi Steve! I was just responding to Dan Bernier's comment that the Bob Elliot card was the perfect first Leaf card to add. I would've loved to of acquired the Vern Stephens, but it is a short print costing much more than I want to spend. The Elliot though was right within my budget. He was a top 20 player of the 1940s and I would argue the best third baseman of the decade. To have five 100 RBI season in your career is pretty impressive. I just love the look of that card. I hope to add a few more 48-49 Leaf Baseball cards to my collection, but I plan to more aggressively pursue the 48 and 49 Leaf Football. I want to learn more about this era of football, and it will be find to acquire the cards and some magazines from the time to go along with them.
I love that 52 Bowman Vern Stephens. It is my favorite card of his.
You have a great weekend too.
Great looking Bob Elliott! He had some great years in the 1940's. Nice football pickups. The 1950's football showcases at the Dallas Show for the dealer I was working for, were very popular.
Thanks Scott! I am glad to hear vintage football was popular at the show. I think it is a great value right now.
Those are some beautiful cards.
Thanks Jim!
Hi Terry! Great video. I also go for daily walks. And usually walk during my lunch hour. It really helps me think things through. I liked how you mentioned the cards that you pass on. That’s been going through my head a lot lately.
The Bob Elliot was a great choice for your first 48/49 Leaf. Players like him is what I find so interesting when collecting. The big names and Hall of Famers are great to have but it’s guys like Elliot that give substance to collections.
When you lined the Pihos, Waterfield, and Walker up I actually said out loud “oh my gosh”. Just because they looked so great together. I’ve been looking at those Leafs for football and will probably pursue some after I finish off some other projects. Seeing this video makes me want to start right away.
The John Green is such a great image and the back made me laugh. The writer must have been a huge Eagles fan with a point to prove. If I was 20 years old working for Bowman I may have slid that language into every Colts cards, haha.
Have a great weekend, Terry! I hope your son’s bracket is still looking strong. Or as strong as it can thus far.
Hi Andy! I am glad to hear you go for daily walks as well. It helps me on so many levels. I am glad to hear it does for you too.
I could not agree more on a player like Elliot adding substance and depth to a collection. The HOFers are a lot of fun to collect too, but the game is so much more than them. As I become more of a student of the sports I enjoy, I have a desire to connect with very good and influential players through their cards. I could not imagine my collection without guys like Colavito, Boyer, Newcombe, Garvey, Pierce and so many others. I am not out to impress with my collection, I am building something that has meaning to me and brings joy.
You will not regret adding Leaf cards when the time is right. Our friend Chris from Stories in Cardboard tells me the Leaf cards can be addicting and he is right. When you have one in your hand, you want more. However, I just keep telling myself be patient and appreciate the ones I got. I will continue to chip away over time.
I am eager to know what projects you're working on. I hope you share them in a video if you haven't already. Even if it is just telling us what you're up to. I love to hear what thoughtful collectors are doing.
Yeah, I am not sure what was behind John Green being the best end in football. I should've mentioned Bowman was a Philadelphia company which may of had something to do with it. That's funny you would have done that with the Colts cards.
My son's bracket is hanging on. Haha.
Take care!
Terry, wise words my friend. Glad you found a Bob Elliot that's right for you. I've looked for his card many times and he's on my list of players to add to my collection. That is an amazing Pihos card, the colors look bold especially for a late 40s Leaf. Congrats on the pick ups.
Thanks Sammy. Elliot was a heck of a player from that era. I saw a beautiful 50 Bowman which I almost bought but I already had the Leaf. I don’t need two card of his at this time. The 48 Leaf football set has sucked me in. I love the era and look of the cards. Thanks, my friend.
Another great one, Terry. Can you imagine a card today saying something like "Mike Trout is a 3 time MVP, and in the off season he's a salesman at Macy's". LOL More like "in the off season his fans need a second job to be able to buy tickets". Have a great weekend Terry!
Thanks Mike! It was different times for sure. You're not kidding about the fans needing a second job for tickets. I make a good living and have four kids, and I wouldn't pay the crazy prices for tickets. You have a great weekend too. Hopefully, you don't have to do the vacuuming.
Great 👍 thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You're welcome, Eric.
Great video, I admit I had no clue or Elliot so as always thanks for the education. That 52 program is a treasure. Good advice on retirement.
Thanks Zach! I knew the name but only recently learned more about. It was what I love about the hobby. I am always learning.
Really like that Bob Elliott. I have done some research on him and sounds like a very good player most of the YT community does not talk about. Love the look of that card. Always enjoy seeing the football cards as well. Thanks for sharing with us Terry.
Thanks Steve. He was a great player. I would say the best 3rd baseman of the 1940s. Take care
Love the Braves program
Thanks Adam!
No problem love supporting the community and good people
Always inspiring. Love the art on those three new pickups. I love the John Green the reach up and the eagle logo above almost like it’s dropping the ball off into his hands. Very interesting stats on bob Elliot. You know you have some talent if you’re being compared to Pie Traynor. Great stuff as always Terry!
Hi Mike! I am glad you enjoyed. You're right about the Eagle looking like it is dropping the ball into Green's hand. Bob Elliot was one of the 20 best players of the decade and I would argue the best third baseman of the 40s. A perfect first Leaf baseball card to add to my collection. Yes, being compared to Pie Traynor is impressive. So, is the praise he received from Rogers Hornsby.
I was wondering Terry when you were going to expand your 48/49 Leaf series cards but I need not wonder anymore. Nice additions to the collection. I’ve often thought of adding such cards but the competition is intense for them and naturally, the prices reflect that competition. Nice additions, pal. Similarly, my birth year 51 Bowman football cards are also widely popular & I got priced out on a few auctions last night because as you say, I know myself (& my fixed budget). 😆
Hi Gary! The Leaf Baseball are especially pricey, but you can get fair prices on some of the stars and lower tier HOFers if your patient. The short prints and bigger HOFers are very expensive. I don't plan to get too many but I like the cards. You can get good prices on the football. Especially, since the NFL players have cards in both 48 and 49. I am happy with getting one card from either set since they for the most part look the same. We have in common knowing ourselves. Haha. Budgets are important.
Great presentation
Thanks Cesar!
Always love the thought and care you put into your videos Terry. I've learned so much from you and your collection. I knew Elliot was a good player, but didn't realize he'd won and mvp. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and collection with us.
Hi Kevin! Good to hear from you. I hope all is going well with the move to the new house. Thank you for the kind words. It is a pleasure sharing videos with the community each week. I didn't know a lot about Elliott until recently either. I enjoy learning about players and adding them to my collection. Take care, my friend.
@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 the move is completed but the renovation is a little behind schedule. Not much we can do but wait for things to come in and get done.
Hi Terry:
I've always meant to ask you about your walks as I know you think of program ideas or sometimes listen to TH-cam. I keep telling myself to walk more. How long are your walks and do you walk everyday? What time of the day do you enjoy walking the most?
I have NEVER heard of Bob Elliot before. Most likely cause of the teams he played for. I didn't even know he was the 1947 MVP! Amazing I've never heard if him. That's a great 1948/49 Leaf card. I am really liking that set even though I only own two.
Your 1951 Bowman Spahn. and Sain cards are brilliant. Love the pitching poses and all three cards go Weill with your wife's Uncle's Boston Braves card.
I gotta get that Bob Waterfield card! John Green was also a salesman during the offseason. That's what they did back then. Great stuff today, Terry!
Hi Rick, I walk everyday. I do about a half mile with the dog two to three times a day and then 2.5 to 3 miles on my own. So about 3.5 to 4.5 miles a day. If I go in the office, I will cut my evening walk a little shorter. I like to walk after work around 4 or 4:30.
I didn’t know a lot about Elliot either up until a few months ago. He was quite a player. Those are the guys that I have been enjoying collecting for baseball as of late.
Those are my favorite Spahn and Sain cards.
Yeah, Waterfield would look good in your collection.
That program from the Braves game is very cool. I agree on the YT thoughts. I have changed the way I collect to some extent but have kept some of my original ways of collecting as well. Definitely picked up some cards that I probably never would have due to YT.
Thanks Greg! That is a great program. I gravitate toward Boston Braves items probably because my father in law saw them play as a teenager.
Yeah, I think most of us are at heart a certain type of collector but being exposed to other cards and ideas enhances the collecting experience.
Your vids are always time well spent to watch! Those Leaf cards are so beautiful. But the ‘81 Topps Joe Morgan would be my nostalgia choice for the video. Thank you for sharing Terry. Have a great weekend. CK.
Hi CK! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for letting me know that the 81 Topps Joe Morgan evoked nostalgia with you. It is a great looking card. That was the time he was bouncing around and helping teams make the playoffs. You have a great weekend too.
I love walks too. Great self-care. And when I can, hikes are one of my favorite things to do. I love that you put thought into the cards you want and how they connect to the evolving collection. I have such a long list of cards I want lol. I really think I ought to focus more on individual cards, because they'll mean more to me. But man, I love to rip some packs and see what's inside 😁. I'm trying to balance that, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days I figure more on the individual cards I want and put the breaks on print money into the pack ripping. I guess time will tell. Great insight in this video Terry. I'm only half way through so I may comment again, but these are some great thoughts 👍
Hi Brian! I am glad to hear you're a fellow walker. I am still too cool to be a mall walker, but I imagine I will make the transition someday. Haha Nothing wrong with having plenty cards on your list, but it is a good idea to figure out how you want to approach acquiring some of them. Nothing wrong with ripping back either. The rush it gives you when you get some ink, or a serial numbered card seems pretty exciting. I never went that route, but I get it. Thanks so much, my friend for the kind words.
I know I sound like a broken record, but love hearing your thoughts and the cards are so fantastic. That Pihos is so striking with that vibrant blue. Gorgeous stuff. Have a great weekend Terry
Hi David! you don't sound like a broken record to me. I am always grateful for your kind words about my collection and videos. I love that Pihos card with that blue. There are different color variations on the uniform, but I don't plan on adding any of those. You have a great weekend too.
Terry, I think it can take a great deal of discipline to understand who you are as a collector or the direction to take. It can be easy to fall off your path and begin collecting things that don't really fit into your collection. You do a great job of staying in your lane. The more I think of it, I wonder if most people either have not found their path or know who they are as a collector. Just thinking out loud here. Did NFL teams where white jerseys during home games back the 50s? As always, you display great cards and provide the perfect narrative.
Hi Drew! Well stated about discipline and staying in your lane. I agree with you that some struggle with focus and knowing their path. Not everyone has to collect the same way, but I think if you accumulate cards and rarely look at them, then why are you adding them to begin with. Yes, I believe NFL teams wore their white jerseys for home games in that era. I am not sure if there were any exceptions.
Thanks as always, my friend. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Wow the algorithm strikes again! New Sub here!! I really like these kinds of "passion, history, story-telling" narration videos and you are teaching tons of baseball & football history!!
Thank you for the kind words and subscribing to my channel. In my own small way, I want to share the stories of the players I collect and what they mean to me. Take care, Terry
I'm liking that Joe Morgan 1981, Jean Belivue ,1976 Jim Palmer , is it 1980/1981 Marcel Dionne ,
I like the note book way more over the phone that ruined the world ,
if that's the same set that has Joe DiMaggio in it that's a nice card a 4 for 1949!!! was Bob Elliot a common I don't see him in the Vintage Beckett under leaf 1949?
Pete Phios , nice Doak Walker and Bob Waterfield , nice John Green ,
wow a program for 10 cents St.Louis Cards vs Boston Braves very cool
Am I missing something but it seems like 58.00 for a 1949 card in a 4 isn't very expensive? granted it's Bob Eliot and not Luke Appling, , Lou Brodeou, George Kell and Larry Dolby but does it seem that 58.00 isn't a lot for a 4?
in Beckett there's the guide for leaf theres no 48 so it's 1949?
is tha Phios 16 A or 16 B? in beckett theres 2 letters for him under 16?
Did the home teams wear white back then? or were they playing somebody who wore there dark on the road ?
did anybody from my time win that award the receving triple crown? if only one time that's fine

Hi Mark, I apologize for the late reply. The week got away from me. The 48-49 Leaf is the same as the one with the Dimaggio. Elliott is likely a common in the price kids and is priced like a minor star on eBay. He can be had pretty cheap compared some of the other bigger stars, but he was a very good player.
I call it 48-49 Leaf. The copyright on some of the cards is 1948, but they likely issued in 1949.
There is a 16Y and 16B for the Pihos. I have the 16Y with the yellow letters. The rarer one is the 16B with the blue letters. I guess the 16Y is 16A in Beckett. I believe the home team almost always wore white back then.
Only Jerry Rice won it from your list. Sterling Sharpe did too from the same era. In recent years Steve Smith and Cooper Kupp won it.
Thanks as always for the comment.
