I don’t know what is more impressive and enjoyable: - your stories - your research and info - your collection - your passion for each and every card All of the above
I’m a closet Phillie phan from state of Washington. I collected cards in the late 50s and early 60s. Not sure if it was because I loved the red pinstripe uniforms or whether it was because Richie Ashburn and my Dad were born on the exact same day in 1927. Love your channel. Well produced and narrated. Best wishes.
Absolutely awesome video! Hope to see more! I have a similar story with a 2001 Bowman Heritage Chase Utley rookie I was desperately looking for. Not because I was a Phillie fan. Just a set builder. It too was gifted to me from giving the dealer a helping hand.
That was an excellent informative video showcasing that famous1952 Topps set. really nice work narrating this video which teaches a lot about the history of this set.
Hi, I meant to comment last week when I watched this video but I was busy at the moment. I enjoyed your story telling. It put me right there with you, and I was thrilled when you got the card. Thanks for taking the time to share. These are my favorite kind of videos. A true collector that enjoys the hobby. Take care, Terry
“My pal Smoky was saved from this icy slabbed hell.” This is gold! And I loved the story of your interaction with that dealer and how he made you promise not to sell it and to pass it down to your son. Brought a smile to my face.
The closest comparison to a modern day player would be the 1985 Fleer Update Darren Daulton. Update is the closest thing to high number in the 80s. And like Smoky, had limited playing time throughout most of his career. Having said that, I doubt 40 years from now someone will be super excited for that 1985 Fleer Update like you were for Smoky Burgess that day. Such is the glut of modern sports cards

Great Story + Great Narration = A Great Video. Well done. Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by the channel
Great story. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for listening
Loved the Burgess story and glad he was saved from the slab!
Saving cards, one at a time...cheers!
That was a great story, man. Love it when a handshake was all it took to seal a deal.
Also, it is a great looking card.
Glad you enjoyed it. I love honest cards, with honest wear. Hermetically sealed from pack to slab makes me a bit sad.
Just happened to stumble on this page. Loved it. Definitely had to subscribe
Stumbling into things is a solid life plan. Good to have you here!
Well done sir. Well done 👏
Thanks, and tell a card friend!
Agreed. Well done.
I don’t know what is more impressive and enjoyable:
- your stories
- your research and info
- your collection
- your passion for each and every card
All of the above
Appreciate you, and your kind words!
Fantastic video and story about the 52 Topps High Numbers. Nice looking Smokey Burgess card. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the view. That Burgess card is such a tough card to find. SP on top of high #. Plus, nobody cared about him!
I must say this was a great video and story. I being a phillies fan can appreciate your passion. That 52 Smokey Burgess looks great.
It took so long to find Smokey, but the fun is in the finding! Thanks!
That my friend was awesome !!!
Thanks, and tell a card friend!
I was thinking "card stories" would be a good idea for youtube series. Looks like you beat me to it. Well done. Enjoyed.
UA-cam is a big place, and there are millions of cards. I can't possibly get to them all! Plus, I want to hear your stories, too.
Fantastic storytelling
Thanks for that. That's my goal with the channel. The cards are secondary to the storytelling.
Love it. I have 101 of the set, 12 of the high numbers and gonna keep on getting them . I only buy nicely centered 5 PSA cards
Finding the high #s are a job, but worth it.
Love 52 Topps !!
One set, to rule them all.
Great video!!! I loved every minute of it. Congrats on the gift for giving.
Glad you enjoyed it! Tell a card friend!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Tell a friend!
The color on the Heintzelman card really pops. Great vid!
Much more than the other one you can see that has some...condition issues...
Really well done, both as a story and a video. Have loved Smoky Burgess since I started collecting the 60 Pirates.
Smokey's Pirates cards are a lot easier to find!
@@PhilliesBaseballCards a signed 1960 Smoky is very hard to find.

I live in Arkansas. Thanks to MLBtv we can watch all the games, or nearly all. Come out of the closet. Rep your colors!

Very cool! I have found that card guys take care of other card guys for the love of the hobby. I try to return the favor when I can.
Delightful video, and congrats on getting your guy!
A few more rare birds to find, but the fun is in the hunt. Thanks for the view!
Awesome well-told stories, you’ve got a new subscriber. Wasn’t expecting to see my local card shop in your video! 🐗
Ha! You know Cleve's! We've probably been a a few shows together...
@@PhilliesBaseballCards Yeah, probably so! I’ll see ya at the dollar boxes 👍
That was an excellent informative video showcasing that famous1952 Topps set. really nice work narrating this video which teaches a lot about the history of this set.
Thanks. The details of the 52 high number ocean dump are crazy. As I dig into the story, it's gets weirder and weirder!

Always great to hear from a fellow card shark! Cheers

I'll keep that promise, too.
Great piece. I’ve got two of those four Phillies high numbers. Looking for other two.
Keep at it. They're scarce, but possible.
Wow!!, Very nice video..thanks!!!
Glad you liked it! More to come
Im new to this, wow what a touchy story 🥺

Interestingly I don't have the Fleer Daulton...
Awesome collector
