    Ken dude I loved that table it broke the ice I got a sick 1978 Munson 6.5 and a 1975 Rod Carew both perfectly centered 😜. That was so fun. Ok let me keep watching 🤙🤙

      Matthews is having an amazing season. Back to back hatties! Glad I have him on one of my fantasy teams. He’s a scoring machine!
      Thanks for watching Michael and Uki. Have a great week!

    Ken, 1978 Topps has shot way up on my 1970s cards to collect. Never thought too much of them but I noticed, especially the backs of the cards, standing out. I still think the '78 Murray rookie is one of the more appealing looking rookie cards of that decade. Thanks for sharing!

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому +1

      Whoa, does that mean that I am going to have to compete with you when bidding on 78 Topps cards on eBay? The Murray is one of my favorite cards of the 70's too. Thanks for watching Sammy.

    I love the 78 set and they look great in the SGC tuxedo slab. 78 was the oldest cards I had in my childhood collection. The Reggie base card is one of my all time favorites. The Eddie Murray rookie was one of my first purchases when I jumped back into the hobby. Great cards Ken. Go Avs 👊⚾

    Great stuff Ken. Those look good in the SGC slab. I agree on the Murray. I have always liked that card. I have one but not graded. One of these days I will pick one up. The Winfield is a great image too. $40 for those three card is a great deal. See you in the chat my friend. 👊⚾️

      It’s pretty easy to get these cards ungraded, so having fun collecting them in SGC tuxes. Some will be hard to find as they don’t pop up online that often. I might have to get some ungraded and send them in. Thanks for stopping by Greg. Have a great week my friend. 👊🏻⚾️

    Hi Ken, I hear you on the Super Bowl. I didn't have a rooting interest either. I would've liked to have seen the 49ers win because of McCaffrey and Purdy, but it is hard to cheer for them as a Cowboys fan. I like the idea of you acquiring cards from the first year you opened packs. The type of project that is going to take you back to your childhood with each card you acquire. You some beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing.

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому

      These definitely bring back a lot of memories when i get them. Making collecting fun. I have been down on baseball cards for about a year near and been focusing on hockey cards. I'm a big McCaffrey fan and wanted a win for him. I have met him once and his father when Christian was in high school. They were in line behind me at the airport checking their bags. Thanks for watching Terry.

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  6 місяців тому

      After thinking about it, Ichiro had the best rookie season. Didn't know that Kaline had a great rookie season as well. We'll chat soon.

    Enjoyed hearing you talk about buying cards and candy, Ken. It brought me back to my youth when I did the same thing. Great looking cards in some nice grades! Love the Murray rookie. He had a great rookie season and I’d have to agree that Ichiro probably had the best rookie season ever. I used to think Fred Lynn did growing up as a Sox fan.

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому +1

      Well Lynn may have the best true rookie season, as Ichiro was already a pro over in Japan. He kind of had an advantage. When I get one of these cards, every time it floods back the memories of me buying cards as a kid. Thanks for watching Hugo. Have a great week!

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому +1

      Taking my time. I might have to buy some ungraded cards of some of the lesser popular players and grade myself. Many don’t show up on EBay. Always a risk it will get less than a 7, but could also get a 9! 😆There is a good mix of portrait and action shots in the 78 Topps set. Thanks for watching David! 💪🏻⚾️

      Do you love 1978 Topps baseball too? This is a fun little project for me. I think I will need to grade some of the players on my own. I haven’t seen all of them listed online. Just need to be patient, no rush as the process is just as fun as the curation. Thanks for watching.

    at least 5 or so of them now i'm watching your video that's whats going on.
    yeah both of us are not Chiefs fans I wanted Kc to go 3-3 instead of 4-2!!!!
    I still think the early days of the superbowl were the best
    superbowl 1
    superbowl 2
    superbowl 3
    superbowl 9
    superbowl 5
    whem Miami won 2 in a row
    cards were the same price as around here .25 cents ,
    sweet homerun leaders Rice and Foster , Bobby Cox manager card, nice 78 of Tom Terrific , nice Yount nicer looking card than his 1979 and 1980!!!
    nice 1978 of Pete Rose , nice 1978 of George Brett , nice record breaker of Rose, nice record breaker of the month and his title Mr. October , nice Jim Palmer, , Dave Winfield , nice Eddie Murray ,
    questions
    1. Did you put your cards in shoeboxes with rubberband 1978's and 1979's?
    2. was Graig Nettles, Bucky Dent, Mickey Rivers any of them in that handul?
    3. which uniform do you like Winfield best in Padres, Yankees or Blue Jays?
    4. do you have any Red Sox like Fisk , Scott, Buerlson , Remy , Butch Hobson, Yaz, Fred Lynn, Dwight Evens , Jim Rice
    4B. any of these player Doug Decinses, Ken Singleton , Tippy and Dennis Martinez, Cecil Cooper, Ben Ogilive, Ted Simmons ,Dave Kingman, Rusty Staub
    Greg Luzanski, Gary Carter , Keith Hernandez ,
    5. did you get a chance to watch Hockey these weekend? did you see the stadium serise? if so who were you rooting for Flyers or Devils, Rangers Islanders? did you see the Leafs Blues ?

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching Mark. Here are my responses to your questions.
      1. I did put my cards in shoeboxes for the first couple of years, did not use rubber bands. I went to a card shop and bought a binder and some 9-pocket plastic sheets to store my cards. I still kept the duplicates in a shoebox.
      2. I definitely had a Greg Nettles card in 197I 9.
      3. I would say that I liked Winfield in a Padres uniform best
      4. I have all of these players in 1979 and 1980 cards, but none in the 1978 Topps except for Ted Simmons and Ken Singleton
      5. I did get to watch one hockey game the stadium series with the Islanders vs. Rangers. That was a fun game to watch the Rangers come back and win.

    Great stories, Ken. Fun to re-live fond memories. Cards can bring you back in a flash. George Foster had some great years with the Big Red Machine especially that epic '77 season. (P.S. The Say Hey Kid had 52 HR in 1965). Love the Eddie Murray RC. Thanks for showing us some fantastic cards.

    • @kenscardboard
      @kenscardboard  7 місяців тому

      I was thinking that someone hit more than 50 HR since Roger Maris did in 61. Mays was pretty good. Still, it was 12 years between 50 HR season.
      One of the things I love most about collecting cards is connecting to real experience in sports. Thanks for stopping by Rob.
