Hi Dave, thanks as always for sharing your knowledge and your collection! Always look forward to learning something new and seeing something different when you pop out a video!
@@Bluejacket66 Fascinating story. Cool to think that there were some cool ideas back then, even if they never came to fruition. I keep looking at the 1956 Topps pins, especially the Jackie, but can't find myself able to pull the trigger on one.
Thanks Dave for showing the Mays test issue disc. An unbelievable card to own!!! But my favorite was the 1967 Topps Standup Pete Rose you put on the screen. In almost 50 years of collecting, I’ve only seen that card a handful of times. Same thing with the disc. The punch out I was second bidder a couple years ago in a PWCC eBay auction. However I was high bidder years ago on the 1968 Topps test sticker and the ‘69 4-1 Topps Test sticker Pete Rose. I think a lot of collectors that have been around for awhile are glad they picked up any of these test issues years ago. Because trying to pick them up now would be very expensive!!!
Unbelievable the amazing vintage pieces you show; I fully understand the need to “lock” them away, but these items scream to be displayed; 99.9% of collectors would never have been enlightened to these rare issues if you hadn’t been good enough to share them; keep videos like this coming so we can enjoy this peek into baseball card history; as always thank you and stay safe!
Dave thanks again for your time showing us these awesome cards before they go away. I wasnt aware of the 67 stand ups but was familiar with the Topps discs test. Didn’t realize there was a separate San Francisco issue super cool!
Hi Dave, great stuff! I don’t think I have ever seen the mantle disc? Do you know of any sites that have it pictured, I’d like to see one! Thanks once again for the education and for sharing your collection!!
Awesome topps tests cards Dave..😍😲 Love them all Coke and Hires are really special looking.. Very cool Mays and I would of liked to see the finished product button..🤔 Thanks for sharing these.. Take care..👍💕🔥⚾👊
Thank you for sharing those truly aMAYSing cards. Being a SUPER MAYS fan, I am both Impressed and Jealous. The 52 Coke is my favorite. Keep on keeping on. I will trade you the Coke for a 1967 Topps Punch-out with Mays on top of a sealed pack. Can't figure out how to load a picture for you. 😁
Had to watch this again to see the Willie Mays Coke Tips. This video influenced me to buy a 1967 Test Disc of Tony Oliva. Pop 1 on SGC, none on PSA at the time.
Take a good look. You'll most likely never see this again... my favorite Dave videos have those phrases in them! Some true beauties today Dave, thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Dave, thank you for sharing those rare beauties with us before putting them away! My favorite is the Hires root beer test Mays! 😊 Perhaps you are also a coin collector? I see the 20-count PCGS slab boxes in your background.
I am not a coin collector but did dabble in the early 70s when my dad collected coins ( as his father did). In those boxes in a complete run of Indian head cents. They’re look gorgeous and we’re my dads. I decided to send them to pcgs….. and they all came back “ cleaned” 😡🤷♂️
@@Bluejacket66 I am sorry to hear that. My understanding is PCGS is very wary of gorgeous looking cents and when they have any doubt, tend to assume they have been messed with.
@@vintagesanctuary all I know is I removed them from an acrylic display they had been in since at least the 1950s. It’s very possible my grandfather cleaned them as that was commonly done back then
The button would have looked amazing as well as the disk itself look forward to every episode I'm going see something I haven't seen or only in a book ur putting them in best place out of hand n light
Very cool and rare items! Can't go wrong with Willie Mays!! This is true rarity! Nice pickups! I've actually had people argue with me about what is rare, and I've had one guy argue how rare it was to find the 1993 SP Derek Jeter in mint or gem condition. I explained that the Jeter was nowhere near rare...regardless of condition. He didn't understand why Griffey didn't have a six-figure rookie like that Jeter in gem condition. Truth is, he should easily have at least six-figure collectibles between his original photos, tickets, and Tiffany rookies, but he doesn't because people do not understand what true rarity is. The Jeter was highly hyped into something that its not...and thats "rare".
Ya, some guys get caught up calling cards rare are based on their grade which is complete nonsense. Look up the population of PSA 1 1989 UD Griffey cards…. Now that’s rare!!!
@@Bluejacket66 Ha-Ha!! Yeah, probably only a handful of those poor conditioned cards, but still much rarer than any PSA 10 card of his in existence!! That's really how ignorant the "pop report" is. Very good analogy! I think I'll stick to my original Griffey photos and first exhibition game tickets. However, it is worth noting that there are some exceptions to the 1989 UD, like notable wrong back errors or the mini blank back cards that came in limited edition sheets. Those are relatively scarce and are probably worth looking into. I think it's safe to say there are significantly much less of those than the regular issue.
I don’t collect either. I collect vintage and prewar cards…mostly hall of famers. Some people enjoy putting together sets - but mostly sets before 1980. For modern card collectors it’s all about the rookie card or the low numbered insert cards
You never cease to astonish me with rare material. Thanks for sharing and adding to my knowledge base.
Thanks Gary
Have a great weekend
Thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge.
Thank you Rob

Nice cards! Always appreciate the information, very interesting. Thank you, Dave.
Cool issue! Thanks for checking it out
Absolutely intrigued by everything you share with us. No way I was going to miss watching this. Once again I am wowed!

Hopefully some of those will come around one more time for you!! Thanks for the insights and great comments

Thank you! I love the coke card too
Awesome stuff Dave! That Coke test card with a smiling Willie is really cool!
Love the test disc too! I think way cooler than a button!
Ya Jim, not a fan of buttons
You made me get a bobby thompson tips raw love the coca cola ad in the back
Nice!!!! I can’t remember how many 52 coke players there are…. ?10
Wow. Love it when you show cards that i have not seen. Great stuff
Have a good weekend Chris
That is very interesting. I’ve never seen or heard of the Test Discs before.
You can find them out there for sure
Good stuff. Thanks for showing
Thank you Peter

That test disc has a sweet background story. I think the Coke issue, is the best though, it looks so cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yep the coke issue is really cool

Amazing pieces of history! The 1952 Coke Mays is a beautiful piece of art - so dynamic. Thanks for sharing before they go into cold storage!
Right on Jeff!
Hello I am new to collecting and curious to know if people still collect base sets or is it more insert cards?
I don’t collect either. I collect vintage and prewar cards…mostly hall of famers. Some people enjoy putting together sets - but mostly sets before 1980. For modern card collectors it’s all about the rookie card or the low numbered insert cards
Really cool 67 but the 52 stole the show for me!
You’re right!!!
