I started collecting mid 80's as a 9yr with garbage pale kids. Used to trade with the guy next door to me. I priceless memories. Collected all through high school ( 1992-1996 ) chicopee comp Colts ( blue-n-gold ). Out of all the cards I have or possessed through out the yrs, is an Albert Einstein. Such amazing cards. This is going to be awkward ( maybe not ), everyone dreams of having a Mickey Mantle rookie card. My dream card is the ted williams rookie. He will forever be a God in boston. It's good to dream.
Ty F how? I dont trust many people when i comes to card collecting. Had a bad bad bad experience with a fellow collector who decided he was going to help himself to my collection. Made me stop collecting for almost 15yrs. Started back up around 2-3yrs ago
I think i got some cards you may be intersted in david there not graded but there in thier original packaging its from the 1985 86 star set and its the chicago bulls which contain rare jordan rookies that were given at the bulls games during those years
Cards were the first hustle I paid attention to. Studying beckett and watching the market. Cards and sports are what tought me math and how to read. School wasnt much in my young life. Thankful.
I collect Autographed memorabilia & collectibles and I have been doing that for over 30 years. I’m 39 years old but each time I get to meet one of my heroes in person from my childhood it brings me back to that simple time in my life.
After about 40 years of collecting Hot Wheels, I decided to sell a lot of my collection and open the rest. It was fun having them i the pack, but physically holding them in my hand quickly took over as I started opening them one by one. I had the same feeling doing this as you described in this video. No regrets at all. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Good video.
What brought me here was the interest in cards that we share.....what kept me here was your public speaking and ability to tell a story. Very impressive sir.
Except for anyone who knows anything about the hobby also knows that "baseball cards" is often used to describe a collection of cards, even if there's multiple sports within that collection.
I use to collect baseball cards in the 80's when I was a kid. I now collect/play Magic The Gathering. For some reason your video popped up in my feed, you just brought me back to my childhood. My biggest regret was not taking care of those cards, I know not the greatest era for collecting, because I had a Mark McGuire USA card. It is now lost for ever. Seeing your cards was amazing tyvm for sharing.
I used to get home, get my homework done, and run downstairs to the corner grocery store and bag for tips so I could buy my comic books and baseball cards. I still collect sports cards, comics, and coins. I loved the hobby then and still do today. Cheers Patrick for reminding me of the child that lays dormant in all of us.
I came to watch a psa collection and stayed for the straight guru speech. I needed that. Thank you. I collect funko pops, instruments, vinyl records, cassettes, and music memorabilia. Im also working a 9-5 where im just below a salary position. Im getting closer and once i get there ill have the disposable income to really collect how I want so I can nurture myself and my collection.
@@shanenolan85 while those have value, they pale in comparison to those cards. I'll bet none of those players you mentioned have a card worth over a grand. Sad but true.
Beautiful collection Patrick. I was a serious collector in the late 80’s early 90’s. I recognized many of your cards. Beautiful. I’m drooling over here.
I’m your age and a business owner also collected cards my whole life. Mainly vintage graded nowadays. Love this! The market all depends on what Ebay is paying. PSA is mainly what I buy.
During this pandemic I’ve been buying the Topps 2020 Series 1 cards...need 10 cards to complete. My older brother started collecting in 1961...I started in 1966 but have the entire collection. Unfortunately, we kept them all in a big box (not stacked) at the time and my two older sisters would throw away any they saw laying around as they cleaned the house. I have hundreds of thousand cards...yours are worth hundreds of thousands. At one time I did have 5 Ryan/Koosman RC’s...
I grew up collecting in the 90’s and held on to all my cards. In 2006-07 I started to open a few packs to bring me back to those days. I ended up buying a price guide and checking out all my old childhood collection only to find out it was mostly junk. So I rested on it for a couple years until I heard the name Connor McDavid and his name was being used over and over in the same sentence as Wayne Gretzky. That is when I started to collect again 15-16. Up until now I collect vintage cards and all the iconic hockey cards I can get. I break, open packs and trade as much as I can to get the cards I want. Also, the ones I remembered as a kid, the ones I could never afford or get from packs etc. Anyways I’m glad to see the same passionate people out there about the hobby. Hopefully the child in me will prove my success and be able to pass it down generations. 👍 Thanks!!
The reason why there are so few 10s in both O-Pee-Chee and Topps is because they were cut by wire...not large cutters like usual. Often the sides are frayed and to get one completely perfect is near impossible. Very cool video!
In the late 90s in Rochester Hills Michigan ... There was a mall called Meadow Brook... I was a teenager and collected cards... The local card shop was called Competitive Edge... All the local collector kids became friends w Randy the main worker... It was owned by a guy named Mike... Anyway Randys(not sure on last name) good buddy collected Gretzky cards ... he had every Gretzky ever made ever... he would collect them every season etc... Anyway... im 99.9% positive he had both the Topps and Oppee Chee Gretzkys... At the time I couldn't tell u their price etc... I just remember he had them... anyway he kept them prestine... Every now and then he'd bring them to the store and we would look at them ... It was such a cool time to be a kid... Collecting cards... going to the mall... Aladin Castle Arcade , KB Toy Store and Comic And Card Collecting. Anyway ... Im sure w social media Randy and his buddy could be found... I'm fb friends w a friend of a friend that might be in touch w them... Anyway... I remember seeing Gretzkys rookie cards... and being amazed... I collected hockey and basketball... Eric Daze and Saku Koivu were my guys... Still remember when the mall closed down in Fall of 2000... I had turned 18 ... A part of that kid in me remembers being bummed... Great memories w friends, fam and siblings Anyway great stuff
I collect Arcade machines and Pinball machines . Every so often I have an Arcade Nights event that I invite all my family and friends to come over and enjoy them. Best time ever!!
Joseph Styles sounds awesome. Not a collector and don’t really know much except, I love playing the Indiana Jones pinball adventure machine. That’s the only one I would need.
Card & memorabilia collector for over 40 years, with the Michael Jordan Fleer Rookie card & Wayne Gretzky Rookie cards as the highlight of my collection. I have 6 MJ cards ranging from PSA 7 to PSA 10 & 3 Gretzky’s all PSA 7. Then I have about another 2000 cards of football, basketball & baseball, with some hockey thrown in. They’ve all come with me moving across the country 2 times, they’re in 3 large totes. Only problem is going through them all and sending the either PSA or Beckett, that’s a PITA, but it’ll be worth it. Thanks for the video Pat!
I worked hard as a kid to pour my money into collecting every Ken Griffey Jr. Card I could get my hands on. I only lack the 1989 Upper Deck rookie card. The first card ran by UD so there are a lot of misprints and off center cards. Finding clean ones with high grade is something I gave up on. The most beautiful swing the game has ever seen. So effortless, and his defense was out of control.
28 years old and I just started collecting cards again. It takes me back to the thrill of being a child, holding something I really wanted. Now I have a handful of PSA 10 cards that I've really wanted for some time :)
Hi Great video. I collect all sports cards. After 24 years I got back into the hobby. I use to collect when I was a kid. What got me back into it is, my wife and I was at a thrift store. My wife found a bag of baseball cards for $5 with 200 cards. We bought it when to the card and open the bag we found Kenny Griffin Jr Rookie card, Jose Canseco rookie card, Cal Ripken Rookie card, after that we were hooked. I also found out that day that my wife of 15 years use to collected sports cards too. Now we do it together..
Frickin LOVE it. Going back to your youth & not forgetting your roots. In life you do get beat up a lot. At the end of the day though, your likes and or hobbies takes you away from all of that nonsense!
Sports cards have been on the rise for the past year like crazy. I own stocks, gold, real estate and sports cards. My cards have killed it. The crazy thing is that there’s way less than 1 percent of the population that even collects. This is far from a bubble. We haven’t even bought the gum to chew the bubble that blows the bubble. Thanks to guys like you and Garry Vee. The market is making huge strides.
The card values keeps on reaching a new stratosphere every year it’s bananas . I love opening packs tho more than just buying a single that kind of takes the fun out of it for me . I think you’re card collection is probably the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve been involved in the hobby 30+ years just wow
That's the first time I have EVER seen the Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain rookie cards. Didn't even know the year of 1961 either. Thanks for sharing. Those 2 cards are awesome 😎. The Mantle second year and Babe Ruth Goudey are sweet as well 😁. First time I ever seen that Ted Williams rookie card as well. Never knew the year or card company that had his rookie card either (1939). Absolutely love that 1938 Joe DiMaggio card. That's not a rookie card? Those Wayne Gretzky rookies are in amazing condition
Hahahehehehehe i collect stationery for writing,i collect letters, i put the answered letters from world leaders in my album for documentation, without documents there is no history!
Love your video!! I like your philosophy on being childlike and collecting things that make you happy!!! I collect autographed rookie cards and I love it...happy collecting
I just came acrosse you channel and I love the advice of being childlike. Having something from your childhood to keep draeming. That's what I'm doing with sports cards now.Not just an investment but something to keep my young minded and dreaming. Like you said after getting beat down over and over it brings back your innocence and perspective. Awesome I subbed just for this.
Need to watch the ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts: Holy Grail: The T206 Honus Wagner. It is about the history of the Gretzky/Mcnall card. Very interesting history about that card and in the doc they tell you the current owner of that card. Trust me that card has a shady past to it.
That guy holding onto his Gretzky card is smart. I should have done that with my 50’s reissue Daphne Blue Fender Stratocaster. I bought one years ago for $500 new when I was in high school. Today, it’s worth about $800-$1000. I still miss that guitar to this day.
Remember the Shaq rookie Topps gold. Not the regular tops the gold tops. He was in the post!!!! Man alive you're bringing back some cool childhood memories for me.
Such awesome cards!!! Those Gretzky’s are prolly $5M combined today. So far this year I’ve added a ‘52 Bowman Mantle, & ‘53 Bowman & Topps Mantle. Can’t wait to be able to get the ‘51 Bowman & ‘52 topps Mantles someday. Love your collection & passion for the hobby!!👍
@@Je.rone_ yeah, most people don't either, so they hire a art buyer who knows what will appreciate. Sylvester Stallone famously bought an Anselm Keiffer without seeing it and then immediately sold it back becasue it shed straw and mold everywhere
Roger Maris: One of the reasons Roger was able to hit 61 home runs was that he batted third in the line up and Mickey Mantle batted behind him. You did't walk anybody to get to Mickey Mantle. I long predicted no one would ever break that record. Of course, I didn't know about steroids. Mickey did like Roger and you probably couldn't find a better batting "coach" than Mickey Mantle. The rumor was that Mickey asked the pitcher (with some promise) in that last game to give Roger a pitch he could put over the fence. But don't let that diminish the status of Roger Maris and his 61 home runs. No one else has got there without the use of steroids. He was the right man at the right time. How can any baseball card collection be complete without a Roger Maris card? Patrick, thanks for bringing back the memories.
Roger Maris was the Al MVP in 1960 (and '61) so he was not a flash in the pan. Interesting trivia, do you know who signed Roger to his first professional baseball contract? It was the great Hank Geenberg who was in the front office of the Cleveland Indians, at the time.
I sold antiques and collectibles for over 30 years. Sports cards and memorabilia is actually what I began selling until the baseball strike in 1994. That's a very nice assortment of cards you have. Happy collecting to all!
Hell yeah me too xD great for strengthening that mindset and living carefree of other people's opinions.... and great biproduct if you don't get the rejection
This was fricken awesome bro! I'm 53 and still have my comic collection that I started in 1978. Met Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 79 have both signatures. The smell of comics takes me back to my childhood. That and music. Thanks for this!
What I really loved are the pokemon and yugioh cards from when I was little, back then I would have also loved sports cards but I didnt get how you played with them haha
Great video Pat. I have a baseball card collection that spans 40 years. The dollar value will never surpass the sentimental value it gave me in my childhood. I still take them out today to look at them. I show them on my channel.
Stopped collecting them many years ago. Had about over 1000. But today I prefer Yu Gi Oh over Pokemon so I may go back to collecting cards again for the sake of it
I collect silver and gold coins. Mostly what we call slabbed coins, which are coins in plastic holders that are graded by a coin company just like your cards. Pretty awesome. Plus silver and gold market value goes up and the numismatic value goes up as well over the years. Love it. Thanks for sharing
Agreed. Lemieux was much better than Gretzky. Bigger and more athletic. If he didn't have Hodgkin's Disease slow him down, it wouldn't even be a debate.
@@leonchan2816 Lemieux had a higher PPG average (only player ever to get above 2.0) before he got cancer. Plus the Oilers won a cup without Gretzky only two years after he was traded. Lemieux > Gretzky.
Brilliant episode! I got more out of that the months of other channels. My collectors include: Photography Prints, equipment, and NFTS. Fountain pens. Old tools 🛠 Looking into knives…
PBD is my hero! Best content and he collects cards. I was listening to his latest episode and he mentioned he collects cards. Almost fell over because I also spend tons of money on Sports and Pokémon cards. Been collecting for about 10 years
Idk what it is, but there is just something really cool & timeless about a vintage baseball cards. Would love to see an updated version of your collection & an interview with someone who works for psa or is also a collector/investor.
@Valuetainment y'know.. there isn't much of a market here Patrick man... and I gotta frame it .. keep it for a year... give ya... two hunnerd bucks for it? - Rick Harrison (pawn stars) lol
Awesome video! Been watching different guys and their videos, you're the first one talking about values of the cards. Extremely interesting video. Thank you!
Glenn Kirste what stats are you looking at? Sports cards are off the hook! They’re killing it. Buy gold, ammo, and sports cards, and your money will be safe.
Recapturing your childhood is priceless. That’s why I like to collect as well! Cards also capture history as well....you can imagine Yourself a child in 1909 collecting T206 cards and finding your fav players!! It’s an awesome hobby IMO.
Thx! I've also just started collecting antique rifles. So a few weeks ago I purchased a 1918 WW1 Lee Enfield SMLE. I also recently bought a 60th Diamond Anniversary Fender Stratocaster and a 2 stroke 2003 Honda CR250R :) Both of which are approaching 20 years old. The Fender is a one of a kind as Fender are approaching their 80th anniversary and Honda stopped making the CR250s in 2007 and moved to producing 4 stroke dirt bikes. There's no way I will be letting either of them go in a hurry. Both in really good condition also!
Man what a collection! I’ve collected for 30 years. I was lucky enough to pull a Trout update rookie from a $6 box in 2013. I have some vintage Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Koufax, Clemente and other stars. Such a fun hobby to be in.
After getting the opportunity to have the hobby be the career, I dove back into an old hobby and it's sports cards. I did action figures for a bit up only kept the ones that meant a lot and sold the rest, and still selling till this day. I'm more into cards than I ever been. I came from the early 90s junk wax era. Love the video. Aloha! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
David growing up without a father , I always looks for guidance from entrepreneurs ..your always giving great advice and always full of good insight ..god bless brother keep it up 🙏
Great video Patrick. Awesome cards. I have been a baseball card collector for 40 years since I was 8 years old, and I still enjoy the hobby now in my late 40's. I have to say, aside from the cards you showed, my favorite part of this video was at the end when you explain the importance of having a hobby that brings out the child in you. I couldnt agree more. As much as my cards may be worth dollar wise, the sentimental value far exceeds that. Taking them out and showing them to people and talking baseball history, thats where the real value is.
I've been collecting/investing in pre 70 HOF'ers in investment grade (centered with good eye appeal) in PSA and SGC holders. From 1887 thru 1941 I prefer SGC, from 1947 thru 1970 it's PSA. Prices have really shot up in the last 3 years and I believe the future is very bright as an alternative investment plus, I enjoy old cards. Great show

Valuetainment No Johnny Bench or Pete Rose or Joe Morgan cards 🤔🤔🤔 Reggie Jackson missing too
@@shanenolan85 while those have value, they pale in comparison to those cards. I'll bet none of those players you mentioned have a card worth over a grand. Sad but true.

Imagine being disappointed to pull an Alexander Ovechkin instead of Sydney Crosby!
7:30 that Gretzky is amazing! Nice card in your collection.

passive income tom.....can we meet somewhere so you can load them up in my wheelbarrow and then i can take off and you do nothing about it?
Get them graded!

This guy put on black gloves to touch cards in cases 😄
yeah u cant get smudges on there obviously it decreases the grading kid.
Even if they're in cases! Still have to handle gently and with care!!
No finger prints to clean.
for real , are the hard plastic holders worth money? Well this card holder is card holder #1 ,the proto type.
you would too if you had those cards
I just came acrosse you channel and I love the advice of being childlike. Having something from your childhood to keep draeming. That's what I'm doing with sports cards now.Not just an investment but something to keep my young minded and dreaming. Like you said after getting beat down over and over it brings back your innocence and perspective. Awesome I subbed just for this.
I collect Benchwarmer cards, they do keep me dreaming and motivating me.
I’m 20 years old recently started collecting baseball cards. I love getting into this hobby
Need to watch the ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts: Holy Grail: The T206 Honus Wagner. It is about the history of the Gretzky/Mcnall card. Very interesting history about that card and in the doc they tell you the current owner of that card. Trust me that card has a shady past to it.
That guy holding onto his Gretzky card is smart. I should have done that with my 50’s reissue Daphne Blue Fender Stratocaster. I bought one years ago for $500 new when I was in high school. Today, it’s worth about $800-$1000. I still miss that guitar to this day.
Used to collect Match Attax and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards but unfortunately lost them many years ago :/
Remember the Shaq rookie Topps gold. Not the regular tops the gold tops. He was in the post!!!! Man alive you're bringing back some cool childhood memories for me.
It's always great to have some collection. Great video! Love from a small youtuber :)
Much love
Great video, keep up the insane work man
I think Gary Vee will love this!
DPrime agree!
Thanks for sharing your collection! Awesome!
Mario Lemieux, yes I will debate it.
Amazing collection!
Orr beyond both but lemieuxs 199 with far less supporting cast than Gretzky is immense
I still believe “ GORDIE HOWE “ Is the babe Ruth of Hockey ,,, Hands down !!!!
Every single part of his game was simply amazing !!!
Such awesome cards!!! Those Gretzky’s are prolly $5M combined today. So far this year I’ve added a ‘52 Bowman Mantle, & ‘53 Bowman & Topps Mantle. Can’t wait to be able to get the ‘51 Bowman & ‘52 topps Mantles someday.
Love your collection & passion for the hobby!!👍
*Jay-z also buys paintings apparently* 💪
Black Vito - Moneyology & Philosophy all mega wealthy people buy artwork
@@Your6figurementor yeah 😀i don't know anything bout art
@@Je.rone_ yeah, most people don't either, so they hire a art buyer who knows what will appreciate. Sylvester Stallone famously bought an Anselm Keiffer without seeing it and then immediately sold it back becasue it shed straw and mold everywhere
@@Your6figurementor oh that must of been frustrating😂
Great Video, and really liked the tie in at the end with that summary, thanks for sharing those cards, amazing collection 👍👍
Hit like if you want Pat to interview Gary Vee! Make it happen Patrick...PLEASE!
Yes do that video
that would be epic
Roger Maris: One of the reasons Roger was able to hit 61 home runs was that he batted third in the line up and Mickey Mantle batted behind him. You did't walk anybody to get to Mickey Mantle. I long predicted no one would ever break that record. Of course, I didn't know about steroids. Mickey did like Roger and you probably couldn't find a better batting "coach" than Mickey Mantle. The rumor was that Mickey asked the pitcher (with some promise) in that last game to give Roger a pitch he could put over the fence. But don't let that diminish the status of Roger Maris and his 61 home runs. No one else has got there without the use of steroids. He was the right man at the right time. How can any baseball card collection be complete without a Roger Maris card? Patrick, thanks for bringing back the memories.
Roger Maris was the Al MVP in 1960 (and '61) so he was not a flash in the pan. Interesting trivia, do you know who signed
Roger to his first professional baseball contract? It was the great Hank Geenberg who was in the front office of the Cleveland Indians, at the time.
I sold antiques and collectibles for over 30 years. Sports cards and memorabilia is actually what I began selling until the baseball strike in 1994. That's a very nice assortment of cards you have. Happy collecting to all!
The only thing I collect are rejections from woman 🙈😅
Hell yeah me too xD great for strengthening that mindset and living carefree of other people's opinions.... and great biproduct if you don't get the rejection
Lol
Hahaha 🤣😂
We can see why
This was fricken awesome bro! I'm 53 and still have my comic collection that I started in 1978. Met Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 79 have both signatures. The smell of comics takes me back to my childhood. That and music. Thanks for this!
That’s cool. Stan was one of a kind.
Cindy Crawford or Elle McPherson when I was in school.
Kathy Ireland too
Pat much respect my friend. Every time I watch a video of yours I learn something new.
Wearing gloves to handle cards that are in a protective case 😂.
I was thinking the exact same thing👐🤣
@joecugo he could hold the edges of the plastic dummy
Lol I didn’t think I would ever see an argument over gloves
@@NukeBryan The internet has all kinds on here...lol.
I started collecting cards again and it feels really good ! Thanks Patrick for all you do !
What I really loved are the pokemon and yugioh cards from when I was little, back then I would have also loved sports cards but I didnt get how you played with them haha
Great video Pat. I have a baseball card collection that spans 40 years. The dollar value will never surpass the sentimental value it gave me in my childhood. I still take them out today to look at them. I show them on my channel.
I wonder if David would talk to Rudy from Alpha investment
Congratulations Mr. David with some of the most valuable card collections ie. Jerry West, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth & other.
Im doing the same exact thing with POKEMON cards. Some vintage Pokemon cards are already going for 6 figures.
Stopped collecting them many years ago. Had about over 1000. But today I prefer Yu Gi Oh over Pokemon so I may go back to collecting cards again for the sake of it
Thanks you so much for sharing your beautiful collection ⭐️🍿⭐️🍿
I’m from England and I love to collect football cards (soccer lol) I have around 12,000 cards and I’m 16 I’ll probably go on for as long as I live
Dan, that's a great beginning, Know their values and then start collecting bigger cards in your future.
Good luck in life my friend.
don't count on it
I collect silver and gold coins. Mostly what we call slabbed coins, which are coins in plastic holders that are graded by a coin company just like your cards. Pretty awesome. Plus silver and gold market value goes up and the numismatic value goes up as well over the years. Love it. Thanks for sharing
7:50 Pat is sleeping hard on Mario Lemieux.
And Bobby Orr
You know nothing about hockey! Bobby Orr and Mario Lemieux were as good if not better then Wayne.
Agreed. Lemieux was much better than Gretzky. Bigger and more athletic. If he didn't have Hodgkin's Disease slow him down, it wouldn't even be a debate.
Orr and Mario never had the longevity of Wayne. It's not even a debate with Gretzky since his stats are so statistically deviant.
@@leonchan2816
Lemieux had a higher PPG average (only player ever to get above 2.0) before he got cancer. Plus the Oilers won a cup without Gretzky only two years after he was traded.
Lemieux > Gretzky.
Brilliant episode! I got more out of that the months of other channels.
My collectors include:
Photography
Prints, equipment, and NFTS.
Fountain pens.
Old tools 🛠
Looking into knives…
i collect magic the gathering , baseball cards , comics , ancient coins , micro machines.
Love the collection bro!!! Always loved opening baseball card packs up it is still one of my favorite I’m picking up 91 Topps this weekend
I collect computer games I think I have around 2700-3000 of em :)
3000?
gotta up those numbers... those are rookie numbers... I have over 50,000...
wow
@James Tyler nope
@James Tyler yea, apparently its available on steam though if you want it.
PBD is my hero! Best content and he collects cards. I was listening to his latest episode and he mentioned he collects cards. Almost fell over because I also spend tons of money on Sports and Pokémon cards. Been collecting for about 10 years
6:20 After she died he sent a half dozen long stem roses 3X a week for more than 20 years.
Man that's sad
@@jysportscardguy8935 I think that I would call it dedication Youngling!
Idk what it is, but there is just something really cool & timeless about a vintage baseball cards. Would love to see an updated version of your collection & an interview with someone who works for psa or is also a collector/investor.
@Valuetainment y'know.. there isn't much of a market here Patrick man... and I gotta frame it .. keep it for a year... give ya... two hunnerd bucks for it? - Rick Harrison (pawn stars)
lol
Kieran B oof
Lol
@@VALUETAINMENT lol xDDD
Awesome video! Been watching different guys and their videos, you're the first one talking about values of the cards. Extremely interesting video. Thank you!
They are only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Which today...is zero $$.
@@glennkirste2774 Mike Trout rookie card currently selling for $13,000 on ebay with 4 days left on the auction.
Glenn Kirste what stats are you looking at? Sports cards are off the hook! They’re killing it. Buy gold, ammo, and sports cards, and your money will be safe.
Recapturing your childhood is priceless. That’s why I like to collect as well! Cards also capture history as well....you can imagine Yourself a child in 1909 collecting T206 cards and finding your fav players!! It’s an awesome hobby IMO.
Robin Williams doesn't collect he collected
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!! 👍🏼
I collect motorcycles and guitars :)
Nice
Thx! I've also just started collecting antique rifles. So a few weeks ago I purchased a 1918 WW1 Lee Enfield SMLE. I also recently bought a 60th Diamond Anniversary Fender Stratocaster and a 2 stroke 2003 Honda CR250R :) Both of which are approaching 20 years old. The Fender is a one of a kind as Fender are approaching their 80th anniversary and Honda stopped making the CR250s in 2007 and moved to producing 4 stroke dirt bikes. There's no way I will be letting either of them go in a hurry. Both in really good condition also!
I collect Bill's monthly lol
I got those too haha
Such great times and experience collecting cards... awesome collection you have!!
Sports Cards are a far cry from “weird”.
Man what a collection! I’ve collected for 30 years. I was lucky enough to pull a Trout update rookie from a $6 box in 2013. I have some vintage Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Koufax, Clemente and other stars. Such a fun hobby to be in.
After getting the opportunity to have the hobby be the career, I dove back into an old hobby and it's sports cards. I did action figures for a bit up only kept the ones that meant a lot and sold the rest, and still selling till this day. I'm more into cards than I ever been. I came from the early 90s junk wax era. Love the video. Aloha! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hawaii Action Figure Guy .. Do you have an eBay account? What players do you collect? 🤔🤙🏽
Im a 18year old Kid always liked collecting things right now im focusing on my Bobby Orr Collection its great !
David growing up without a father , I always looks for guidance from entrepreneurs ..your always giving great advice and always full of good insight ..god bless brother keep it up 🙏
Fantastic collection! Thanks for sharing those unique cards.
Great video Patrick. Awesome cards. I have been a baseball card collector for 40 years since I was 8 years old, and I still enjoy the hobby now in my late 40's. I have to say, aside from the cards you showed, my favorite part of this video was at the end when you explain the importance of having a hobby that brings out the child in you. I couldnt agree more. As much as my cards may be worth dollar wise, the sentimental value far exceeds that. Taking them out and showing them to people and talking baseball history, thats where the real value is.
Loved your video , I too am from Glendale and went too Wilson but 1980 . Great cards . I collect sport cards and Stamps.
As a comic buyer and seller, I love looking up other peoples hobbies, great video man!
I've been collecting/investing in pre 70 HOF'ers in investment grade (centered with good eye appeal) in PSA and SGC holders. From 1887 thru 1941 I prefer SGC, from 1947 thru 1970 it's PSA. Prices have really shot up in the last 3 years and I believe the future is very bright as an alternative investment plus, I enjoy old cards. Great show
