Приєднався 13 чер 2021
Mike's Retro Trading Cards is a channel by 3 friends who all met at the local card shop in the 1990's! Mike "...from Mike's Retro Trading Cards" owned a card shop called Mike's Upper Deck from 1991-2004 and has recently gotten back into the hobby and has been going through his leftover shop inventory. Joe was a customer at Mike's shop from the age of 12 and is our resident expert on Marvel cards, as well as a Tom Brady rookie card collector! EP started coming into the shop as a teenager with his dad in the early 90's and quickly became a regular. He still has a lot of his cards from that time and is excited to share them on the channel! We have all renewed our love for the hobby, especially "retro" cards from the 1990's and early 2000's. If you share a love of all things retro and enjoy the collecting side of the hobby more than investing please subscribe and join us!

3 Retro Cards You NEED In Your PC! Episode 46
Mike - excellent point on women in the hobby. IMO.
Great videos. Comc doesn’t care. They are printing money. I agree. Their app is terrible. People of use Market cap of a card still surprises me. When I hear it, they think Grifter or Idiot. Sorry
According to TCDB, there are a total of 13 Van Halen cards / stickers exist.... Latest 3 are ticket relics from Leaf
Yeah he has a couple oddball things out there, but nothing that would have been a REAL card, especially from the proper time period. The Panini stickers are all band shots and I believe leaf only has cut-autos of him which aren't even really cards of Eddie, just cut swatches with no picture of him or association. It's a shame someone who was a god in his field of entertainment was so under-represented in our hobby.
@@MikesRetroTradingCardsdefinitely, there needs to be more proper cards/sets for the music genre. Panini are doing that Prizm Rolling Stones set which is a start. Have to see what else they may release. The Ediciones set from 1984 looks good, lots of big names in it plus they look to be actual cards...
I've never graded a card. I do own and buy graded cards. I have a few that I will eventually get graded. I'm in no hurry since I don't plan to sell them and no one ever sees them except me. So It really doesn't matter to me if they are in slabs. I'd rather use that money on more cards. 🤷
I have never graded a card, and I own exactly four slabbed cards. I get the grading, but I appreciate the cards raw. They do go into one-touch holders though. 😉 I also am surprised at the lack of awareness of the rarity of the 90s inserts and the subsequent low prices. I'm not complaining as I add those cards to my collection, but I'm still surprised.
Yeah, I have moved almost completely to pro-molds and non grading
Love the video. Enjoyed meeting panther27 but I hope joe gets to feeling better and will be back soon.
@@thirtyoneless We have been discussing replacing him full-time 😂
We all know that companies with a monopoly have little motivation to care how customers are treated. Is there any reason to believe that Fanatics will behave any differently? I think not. The only way for the customer to win this game -- is not to play. Even EP, the former Fanatics true believer, is beginning to see the true nature of the heartless beast that Fanatics will become.
You really hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, as long as leagues give out exclusive licensing deals things will not get better.
I've been on the ground level of this one for awhile...I swayed Mike over to the good side...just have to keep working on EP! PS Don't say the "M" word...people get very upset about it haha
@@joeday17821 Joe -- those of us a little older remember the sometimes dark days of the Topps "M". Poor quality control (miscut and badly centered cards on cheap cardboard often with inferior registration), poor distribution to many parts of the country, reuse of pictures from one year to the next, much airbrushing on some sets, and refusal to pay for licensing in some sports leading to logo-less cards. Not saying that Fanatics will have those particular issues but when you have the "M" the quality of your products becomes degraded and you care most about profits. I don't play Fanatics reindeer games and don't buy modern cards but I weep for my friends that will have to suffer through the upcoming dark days. Like Lemmings to the cliffs and moths to the flame will be those that have to feed their modern card hunger with the upcoming sh*it sandwiches from Fanatics.
@@MikesRetroTradingCards So upcoming is 25 years of mediocrity? I side with Professor Falken's assessment.
@@rustystaples7656 Likely so, sadly
Sweet video bud 👌 Thanks for sharing 👊 Have a good week!
If you win on this virtual vending machine. Can you get it virtually cracked and sent to a virtual Kurt Card Care cleaning and possibly get a better virtual grade? I wonder if I can pay with a virtual credit card? 🤣🤣🤣
I wish this was a joke!!! Lol
I just bought 9 Goodwill bags of Star trek cards of all different years 1992,1994, 1996 just as of 9-08-2024
thats awesome...some fun stuff in there for sure!
"Moleskin" parallel, amazing 😂
People don't want unlicensed cards because "they don't have logos," is just a lazy, BS excuse. Don't say that if you are okay with Walter Payton and Joe Montana rookies. If you like Payton and Montana rookies, you are okay with no logos.
The Montana and Payton rookie argument is SO tired. People didn't have a choice with those cards so it's a completely different situation. Whether you want to believe it or not, a lot of people don't like cards of players with the logo airbrushed out. That's just a plain simple fact.
@@MikesRetroTradingCards I don’t disagree. I’d rather have logos. I also don’t mind unlicensed cards without logos as long as the manufacturer puts a little effort into it.
@@onemillioncubs so I am assuming you don't like Topps current basketball and football offerings then...glad we agree!
@@joeday17821 Basketball looks terrible. I really like Topps Composite football.
@@onemillioncubs the Jim Everett autos make me swoon lol...honestly, I think some of Leaf's products look better lol
Hey guys, I’m sitting here with little Geoff and he told me the following: The phrase “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” has its origins in medieval falconry. In this context, a bird (the falcon) in hand was considered more valuable than two birds in the bush (the prey) because the falcon was a sure thing, while the prey was uncertain. And on a personal note, Joe Day, I am deeply disappointed in you for not seizing the opportunity to inject Star Trek talk into the conversation once the word “warp” was uttered. Judy feels like a hugely missed opportunity on your part there and I think Patrick Stewart autographs everywhere would be slightly disappointed in you as well, just sayin ✍🏻😓
I subject Mike to Star Trek talk all the time...gotta give him a break from time to time!
Like what Joe Day said about integrity. Interesting thoughts from Mike about Donruss's influence on the hobby.
Panini was basically still the same employees that were working at Donruss/Playoff so it makes sense that their vision that started in the early 2000's has carried on.
Don't reholder Joe!! Even if they don't drop the grade, there's a risk of damage any time you reholder and risk of damage in shipment.
yeah, I am leaning on the no side at this point.
Great video made awesome by someone's generosity sending Joe a much needed book.
Was it you scott?? lol
@@joeday17821 I wish I had because that was awesome. I would love to have seen your reaction when you opened it.
Another epic Monday video! If you weren’t cut off from Topps allocation before this one you definitely are now!!!
@@johnmabie5266 Dang!!!! 😂
Is it even possible that the hobby has already "jumped the shark". Fanatics tricks, PSA vending machines, panini Kaboomies. 3000K rookie cards of 1 player. 90,000 cards in 1 set. 547 sets per year. 5,000 different names of card sets....some with 16 names. Where does all the BS end? To quote the great John Wayne, "It's getting to be Regodamdiculous." AND there is no substitute for "superior fit" sleeves. Shellz ain't bad either. at least they don't scratch the cases.
I think all of the "fits" scratch the slabs...I know ones that PSA uses definitely do. It really is the ultimate irony!
Isn't Arena club a virtual Vending Machine? They do the exact same thing and it's actually keeping that company alive. IMO, I hate repacks, but virtual have less HUMAN shady behavior in operated transparently. Joe - You know Jeter is behind the Arena Club Virtual Repack Machine
@@TheCardHunter Arena club sells repacks, but they aren’t being sold as a “vending machine” that’s branded with the name of one of the biggest companies in the hobby. And unless I’m wrong, I also don’t think they are offering to buy back anything you get. BIG differences IMO. We also talked about the Arena Hub repacks when news first broke about it. Honestly, Arena Hub is a non-entity in the hobby regardless of who invested in it and I don’t see their repacks as that much different than anybody else selling them.
Virtual Repack Vending Machine = Online Poker Machine...... (edit, after I typed that, Joe virtually said the same thing 😁)
@@zacrazyone Great minds!!
I LOVE the values sheet...you need that framed and matted and hanging up for sure! maybe with one of his favorite cards. Does Beiters still do framing??
Both Donruss and Playoff were the perpetuators of the numbered and parallel sets. When they combined in 2001, it just went overboard. Great talk today!
It really did, when you look at the sets released year by year you can see them trending toward what the hobby has become today
Pacific went way overboard on the numbered parallels first
Hey fam great show
Great video. Can you recommend a binder/sleeve system that will fit these cards?
fun rip here! looking to dive in the marvel card world and looked here first before purchasing. thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching! I am a big fan of the fleer ultra sets upper deck has been putting out!
FYI ebay auctions with best offers accepted show on terrapeak also as auctions with 1 bid. No way to tell if they let the auction run till the end or accepted a best offer (and what the starting bid was in that case, which could have been higher or lower). As for your methodology, do you limit the terrapeak results to only the US ebay or do you check their every other listing site too?
Great video!. Can you post a link to the binder you use?
That looks like a comfy chair!!
Very!
1952 Topps Andy Pafko! Great episode again. The PSA 8 set for $3k seems like a good deal.
That stings. 1100 in Dec
Yeah, like I audibly signed when I saw that...
If I was gonna have one of them, it would be a Leonard nimoy and William shatner autograph. The prices always amaze me. Makes me wish I still had all the ones I had as a kid. Hope you do more of these.
I may drop it to every other month, but I do plan on doing more!
Cheers. Make it so
Always fun to hear what sells
What an awesome way to spend a Saturday night with EP and his dads binder. Thanks for sharing with us
My dad said his mother threw out his cards. Damn it. These are good.
Very cool! Roger Maris’ rookie card was 1958. You should get some of these signed by the players - some of them are great TTM signers!
So awesome to see some of your dad's collection. If you decide to sell even just a common card, even in poor shape let me know. It would be cool to have a piece of his collection. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of his collection.
In 2023 and 2024 Topps flagship baseball, there's an insert called "Heavy Lumber" that's a card made out of wood and looks relatively similar to Mike's card. But it would be nice to see card companies try to make cards of out something new/different instead of just reusing ideas.
I think EP has an Ohtani in those, I remember it from one of our PSA orders. Very cool card!
@@MikesRetroTradingCards Hmmm, yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar now that you mention it. There are also some auto versions of that insert from 2024 that are sick.
Nice cards guys. I always appreciate when an insert set has different backgrounds, such as the skylines, not just every player image dropped on the same background. At least change up the pattern.
There is definitely nowhere near as much effort put into card design now
you didn't say ken griffey jr because we all just thought this became the 3 griffey cards ya need in your collection
Joe and I are going to start using Griffey and Barry Sanders every week and not letting EP use either!
I have a challenge for you guys for 3 retro cards you need in your pc. How about you each pick one that features or shadows the WTC buildings?
That's cool, might need to give us a little time on that!
Best advertisement for Kurt's card crap ever brought to us by Joe.
I just bought a collection from a guy in Shickshinny. Apparently, it’s like 15 minutes from Danville………
I wonder if my 2013 pmg will be worth anything with new product having dozens of pmg per case
I will hear no Chris Warren slander!
@@tylersimmons6524 Chris Warren is a big part of the reason I’ve had to hear the name Bert Emanuel for the last 30 years! I will slander and defame him as much as I want!! 😂
Sheryl Swoopes was the one that sent you that offer on the Caitlin, Clark card.
Hahahaha!
I love racing, but can't stand the current NASCAR regulations and haven't really followed in well over a decade. That being said, Bubba WALLACE (not Walker) is the driver for Jordan's team. Despite being relatively new to the sport, they have won a few races.
Worst box I've ever seen? 2017 Contenders Optic. Autos were Taywan Taylor and Carlos Henderson. Numbered parallel was Jehu Cheesen.😢
Fun conversation guys!
Bring that cost average down on your first WWE box with a second!
@@hambergerron Unfortunately it was TWO boxes I overpaid for! 🤦🏻♂️
