Love this choice. Great job on the conversation I about it that you both did. Love it
Thank you Adam! I’ve faithfully watched the last 3 months. I’ve looked forward to this every day. I’m pretty bummed that tomorrow there won’t be another video. This was an amazing list. If you need another avid collector to survey the next time, just let me know 😊.
Just finished watching all of these. As a baseball collector, I learned a ton about the hobby and am very grateful for what must have taken a ton of time. Did you share the voting data anywhere? I'd love to see it if it's available.
Cool list Adam.. I think we all new the Mick was going to be number 1 :))) and yeah the Wagner is the only other competition great list.. very happy with number 1 and 2...
Adam, great job putting this series together. Very enjoyable to watch.
Are you going to do a final summary episode? Your overall thoughts on the process? Anything that really surprised you (I know you’ve been mentioning tidbits on each episode)?
It's weird that Mickey's second year card is higher than his rookie card, 51 Bowman.....
What a fun thing to look forward to each day. Thanks for putting this together Adam and the PWCC team! Will definitely be watching for another list in a few years to see how things have shifted. Yay!
I own a Mantle signed baseball. When did his signature change (especially his M's) from the one on this card?
He had normal M’s in the 50’s. Switched to the Banana style after
@@billthehofcollector4525 I like the banana M's better. They're very distinctive. Thanks.
@@rocketfighter8 very distinctive yes and very forged. Just be careful I have a score card from 90’s signed w those banana m’s and a 1951 rookie year sig. both sweet!
@@billthehofcollector4525 I also have baseballs signed by DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Babe Ruth (certified by PSA/DNA).
He wasn't the greatest player who ever lived, not even of his time perhaps. He was a centerfielder of surprising swiftness, a switch-hitter of heart-stopping power, and he was given to spectacle: huge home runs (his team, the New York Yankees, invented the tape-measure home run for him); huge seasons (.353, 52 HRs, 130 RBIs to win the Triple Crown in 1956); one World Series after another (12 in his first 14 seasons). Yet, for one reason or another, he never became Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio-or, arguably, even Willie Mays, his exact contemporary.
But for generations of men, he's the guy, has been the guy, will be the guy. ... Mantle was the last great player on the last great team in the last great country, a postwar civilization that was booming and confident, not a trouble in the world.

I think African Americans would have an issue with your last sentence.
@@rocketfighter8 No doubt but for a large segment of America that was probably their worldview. Also, it wasn't my sentence fyi. I linked where I read it. I think it gives insight as to why Mantle was and is so popular.
