    Great video as usual. I love the music at the start and end of your videos

      Ahhh thanks Elvis. Dodgers used to open and end their radio broadcasts with that song brings back a lot of memories. Of course, for me, I have to watch until my cats Lalo and Sadie show up at the very end 💙❤. HAHA. Thanks for watching

    Love your ‘34 DS Lloyd Waner. ‘51 Bowman Ted too. Beautiful.

      Yeah, I love the Waner too! Just a good looking card. Thank God, I got that Williams off my list. HAHA. Thanks for watching!

    Love the Fingers rookie. Was able to get all 3 of those guys to sign it. Fortunately all do TTM so it was fairly easy. Just had to send out to 3 guys and wait patiently for the returns. As Tom Petty would say, “the waiting is the hardest part” 😂

      How cool that you got the TTM of all three guys! Did the other two guys have decent careers?
      ahhh if you're going to sing TP and the Heartbreakers, I may have to start adding their music to my program. Love those guys! Thanks for watching!

    Rick…love that Diamond Star Waner card. That entire set is so unique in that each card is its own little painting. Love the colors! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the Holiday Season. ✌😎

      Hi Todd! The Diamond Stars have so many wonderful colors in their cards. I'd love to work on that set someday, but I'd like to buy the Greenberg and Grove first. Won't be cheap! Thanks so much for always watching, Todd. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

    Love your cards Rick! I remember meeting Steve Verkman back in the 1990's thru Mr Mint but haven't seen or talked to him since.

    Hey Rick, congrats to the Rams. That was a heck of a game. They were smart to go for it on 4th down because it got to the point where neither defense could make a stop in 4 downs.
    As always, I enjoyed the video. The backgrounds on the Morrell Meats and Bell Brand Dodgers cards are so cool. Great additions. They got Don Drysdale to smile. He must not have been pitching that day. Haha.
    The Waner is a beautiful card. Clean Sweep does have good prices on their site. I haven’t bought from them in a while. That is a nice Gabby. I don’t have a card of his. He doesn’t have too many playing days cards.
    Now that you have Ted Williams you’re in the home stretch on your 50 Bowman set build. Another great card with him holding the bat.
    Thanks for sharing.

      Hey Terry! All I kept saying to my friends about the Rams was if they're going to win, they're going to have keep scoring cause the Bills will come back. When they did, I said "hear come the Bills". By the end, both defenses were gassed. I agreed on the 4th down call as well. It was a great game!
      Who was a meaner pitcher, Drysdale or Gibson? I am scared of both of them. HAHAHA.
      No one was watching the Waner card, I won it so cheap. Clean Sweep is one of my favorite places to buy cards. They have some nice vintage. No sales, but their prices are fair and no sales tax,
      Yeah, getting that Williams was nice relief to get. Looking forward to continue working on this set.
      Thanks for watching, Terry!

    John Morrell Meats -- a hallmark of the American Southwest! I love those old issues. I promise not to beat you to them. Wasn't Gabby Hartnett the guy who got in trouble for going over to the stands to converse with Al Capone? I agree with you about the plethora of auctions enabling a collector to get some sharp deals. I am so excited that you won the 1950 Bowman Ted, my boyhood idol!

    • @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector
      @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector  7 днів тому

      Michael, Morrell Seats are good, hard to find and not cheap! Love them though!
      I had to look up the Al Capone story and you're right, he went to the stands to say hello and sign Al's kid baseball. AMAZING! Imagine that happening now!
      Definitely keep an aye on the auction houses this time of year and buy a friend a Mantle or Aaron card for Christmas. HAHAHA.
      Love the Ted! Glad I finally got that off my list. Thanks so much for watching!

    Great video Rick! Love that Waner! The Morrell Cards are really special, especially for Dodgers fans. That 1950 Ted Williams card is just a wonderful addition.

      Chuck! Love all the colors on the Waner card. Diamond Stars is just a beautiful set. That 1950 Bowman Williams is a warm you to find one in an 8!!! HA! Thanks for watching, Chuck!

    Great cards Rick. There are so many great deals to be had this time of year, and it's tough when someone like me is trying to build up the coffer for a larger purchase next year. I will stay strong though, and live vicariously through you. LOL Have a great weekend my friend.

    Some fantastic pickups Rick! I love the 69 set and the Fingers RC is on my want list! The Morrell Meats cards are cool looking! I don’t follow many auctions looks like you scored three beauties with the Hartnett, Waner,and Williams!

    • @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector
      @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector  3 дні тому

      Thank you, Steve! I actually found that Fingers for a nice price. I have a new appreciation for that 1969 set. I love the auction houses as an alternative to eBay, but there are cards to be found there at nice prices (sometimes). Thanks so much for watching, Steve!

    Great advice for your brother in law. This can be addicting that is for sure lol. Love that Wagner! Glad all is well and your prediction on the Rams game was way off 😂

    • @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector
      @RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector  3 дні тому

      Oh Mike when I saw the cards he was buying, I got nervous. You can get really crazy very quickly. I think he's under control now but once I show up at his house with a new card or two, he may start up again! HAHAHA! Rams game was a great game. Glad I was wrong too!

    Those Morrell Meats cards are cool. Good luck at the show.

      yeah, I love the Morrell Meats cards. Let's see what this show is like. SoCal has weekly/monthly free shows that are a lot of modern and Pokemon cards with like one vintage table. Today I went to a small local show and that would be how I described it. I usually have no expectations and rarely buy much. I save my buys for the bigger shows like Burbank or Long Beach. Thanks again for watching, Dave!

    Hi Rick,
    Great video, interesting catalog. What auction company was the catalog from?
    I wonder if the Larry Burchart on that card is the same Larry that was with Anna Nicole Smith? Wait a minute, that was Larry Birkhead.
    That 1941 Play Ball set is a keeper. Regarding the previous video where you showed your completed sets, the time an effort to collect all of those sets is impressive. Well done.
    I too would like to get a 1969 Mantle, along with a 1965 Mantle. What would you ballpark how much these cards would go for in a "4"?
    Love the Morrell Meats cards you showed, especially Big D. Going to have to keep my eye out for that one.
    Merry Christmas Rick,
    Tim

      Merry Christmas, Tim! I would hope you could find the 1969 Mantle for $200? 65 would probably be twice that. The catalog was from Heritage. It's a mini catalog with a few pages, not one of those catalogs that's like a large library book. Love the 41 Play Ball set!

    Hi Rick! Love that you got your brother hooked onto cards haha. Is the show you’re referring to the premiere show in garden grove?

      Edison! My bro in law has always admired my cards and I send him pictures of cards at shows. He always got excited to see them. As a kid, he had soccer cards growing up in Colombia. Even owned a 1970 Pele card. He doesn't own it anymore. Yes, the show in GG is the show I will be attending. I'm assuming there won't be much, but I can at least see what Mitch has. Maybe I'll see you there?
