What a blast! Some great items added to your collection... but what a great time you clearly had at the National! Thank you for the great content, John! 👍
Some really great pick ups there. Love that Tris Speaker. I very much appreciate your approach. A sweet hard to get card makes me very happy. Also - I heard the Orlando comments about his wife coming in with groceries 😂. Orlando is the best!
One grail per day! That's the life for me!😂👊John, it was great to see you again! Wish we had more time together, my collecting brother! Congrats on the progress you made on your epic card quest! 🤯🤯🤯P.S. Those Dean brother cards distributed in the shirts are super cool!
Thanks for sharing your pickups and the stories from The National. You and a few others are great for the hobby for the knowledge you pass along to other collectors and for “ the rants” that are mostly justified in my opinion. John, you tell it how you see it and I believe you to be a “straight” shooter. Continue to be who you are and like I have said many times, “This hobby is very lucky to have you a part of it.” Thanks for all you have done for this hobby. I have never done a UA-cam video but think I might do one this year. Any suggestions?
I really knew when that envelope came out he had you hook line and sinker! Incredible Speaker posts card happy I was there when you found it. I had actually never seen that 1935 Rice Stix set until this years National saw a graded Dizzy in someone’s case. Great hanging with you as always my friend can’t wait until the next one! 👊🏼
Some great stories John, had me smiling the entire time. Love the pick-ups especially the 64 standup OH that is a really sweet-looking card. Great recap!
I was there for the Martin pick-up! Haha. John really great pickups. Love the Speaker card! It was great walking with you on the floor, I’m gonna mention it on my pickup video.
Wow! Hands down your collection is my favorite on UA-cam. Your eye and passion for rare baseball cards just amazes me. I love all the pickups but the Pete Rose is unbelievable! Thanks for sharing!
Love the pickups, John. I knew I was going to see a lot of cards I hadn’t seen before. Always enjoy seeing the cards you go after and hear you talk about them. Glad you had a blast with all the guys..even with Lou 😆
I enjoy your videos , you stay true to the hobby . you touch on and cover every point in my opinion of what a true collector is and what true enjoyment of the hobby is , keep up the excellent work.
Great National recap/pickup video John..😊 Glad you had a wonderful time and some incredible memories.😍 Love the Speaker postcard and Dean's bro cards.😮 You certainly got some interesting stuff also the 51 wheaties Musial card is beautiful too.🎉 Take care.👍🔥❤️✊
Gave a video like. The Speaker postcard with envelope is phenomenal! That is something, a two-card Rice-Stix set. The Matt Kilroy is really cool! Congrats on all those pick-ups and thanks for sharing, John
John I’ve been watching your channel since at least 2020… remember Friday Night Funk!? Lol. Great stuff and keep up the awesome work, love the obscure cards.
Great great stuff John. I’m glad everyone had a good trip and had a wonderful National weekend. It’s fun to share the hobby with friends and I’m looking forward to next year’s show.
Sounds like you had a great time! The cards are just a bonus! Great looking Charlie hustle Venezuelan auto! They are hard to come by. Especially in decent shape.
I'm one of those guys who have been watching for a long time, but don't comment...but I love your channel!!! Always entertaining! Much appreciation!!! JT
I’ve got a few thousand cards from when I was a kid. I just love them. They’re beat up, bent, creased, and I just love my cards. I have an Al Kaline, I can’t remember the year as I type, it’s creased, I don’t care, I love it.
Love the stories & recap John. Saw you at the Nat w/ my son. Didn’t introduce myself, my dumb mistake. Didn’t want to interrupt you talking. Def will say “hello” at the next Nat. 🤜🤛 I love my low grade cards. Aka a Play Ball ‘40 Joe D w/ a bb bullet hole. Stay cool my friend & keep ranting for the good of the hobby
@@MrJmangini I know , I know. Here’s my plan then . Next year, don’t be surprised if a random smaller guy tries to sneak attack you like Kato in the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies
It was such a thrill to be able to meet you in person at the get together. Despite some hiccups I did enjoy the national which was my 1st. I was able to secure so many cards from my list. But rubbing elbows with so many knowledgeable collectors was also a highlight
Great video John and a fantastic time. That Clemente Mangini photo was great. Was great seeing you and thank you for the card. Can’t wait to get back together again. Incredible cards you picked up!
Wow, Eric is definitely the man! That Speaker is fantastic with the envelope to boot. Dean brothers look great. Beautiful Stan the Man. I definitely appreciate what you do. You show support and friendship to channels big or small and for people’s collections no matter the size and I always respect that
Brian here. I'm glad you liked the custom card. I was hoping to run into you at the show but Lou Rock was there to help me out. It's a redemption card so I'm looking forward to meeting you soon. Thanks for all the entertainment and the education.
Absolutely love the 1912 Boston Sunday American Tris Speaker , congratulations !! I have been looking for the Joe Wood from that set for over 10 years now.
I was looking for you in Cleveland, we got so busy running around town and buying. I didn’t think to look you up by sending you a message on eBay. Glad you guys had fun, we had a blast up there too. Stop by and see me at the Charleston show in August. I picked up some really fun stuff too.
Man you really loaded up on grails! Love those Rice Stix cards and Gold Coin! #TheQuest I thought I was with royalty when we went to the mag pro booth! 😂 You’re a legend John!
UA-cam showed me a Special K commercial right after you showed your Wheaties card and minutes after I left a comment on your last video about giving my wife a weightloss book.
You let me check out that Speaker sitting outside across the street on a break. Waited to show me the envelope while I soaked in the card….😉. Congratulations beauty
I'm honored to have held that Speaker in my hands, but also terribly envious that you were able to find it. I need to be more patient reviewing tables!
Assuming you visited Cards at the Cages in Greensboro, which is one of my two LCS's. I'm about half an hour away in Winston-Salem. Hate I didn't run into you in Cleveland!
3 dollars is way gone. If I would have gone, I would have missed a 1950's wrestling flyer signed by the wrestlers for all of 10c! Eric has always been the man and now we got to see him on video
I knew you would have some killer once in a lifetime cards, and I was blowed away. Great video, but I also have to say about your last comment about never hearing anyone saying their card looks like shit because it's a 2, well yes there is a UA-camr that does that. I don't remember their channel, because I stopped watching it after hearing him cry.
See john everyone tells you how great you are. You need me to keep the balance. Did you see that fraud mangini buying all those graded cards. He is so hooked he even puts his raw cards in fake slabs lol
Thank you for all you do to keep us sane. What a hobby. Even my wife approves. Godspeed.
Even your wife?! Wow thanks!
What a blast! Some great items added to your collection... but what a great time you clearly had at the National!
Thank you for the great content, John! 👍
Thanks. Yes I had a blast!
Glad I got a chance to meet with you at the national briefly. Loved that showcase. On all of your once in a lifetime pick ups. Thanks for sharing.
You too
Love those Dizzy and Daffy cards. As always, thx for sharing your other unique cards.
It was great not only meeting but getting to hang around you both at the show and the house. Great pickups. Those Dean brothers cards are phenomenal.
You too

Congrats especially on the Rice Sticks cards!

Nice Variety John. I was also there to witness you buying that Tris Speaker. Hell of a card to pickup. Sometimes the card finds you.
Yes it does.
Awesome pick ups! I've never heard of Matt Kilroy before. Thanks for the information!
Some really nice cards. Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Awesome additions John! What a great time!
Thanks!
Man lots of great cards, and stories John! Great seeing you again too!
Great hanging out with you!
Fantastic adds John. It was great to finally meet in person.
Thanks
So many great gifts and unique pieces as always. That custom is super cool.
I LOVE that Tris Speaker. My next "big" item will be a playing days Red Sox Tris Speaker.
Amazing cards! Enjoyed your videos on the national, glad you had a great time.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, John. The Tris Speaker is beautiful post card photo of him.

John- I saw the Speaker postcard. I bought a 1934 Gold Medal Flour Mickey Cochrane from the same dealer Thursday Morning!! Great find.
Love the pickups, John. I knew I was going to see a lot of cards I hadn’t seen before. Always enjoy seeing the cards you go after and hear you talk about them. Glad you had a blast with all the guys..even with Lou 😆
Ha!
Love the 63 Brock. That was my first vintage card, purchased in 1989 or so. So much better than the 62 for me. ❤
I enjoy your videos , you stay true to the hobby . you touch on and cover every point in my opinion of what a true collector is and what true enjoyment of the hobby is , keep up the excellent work.
I appreciate that!
Absolute monumental pick ups!! I had so much fun hanging with you and the crew!!
Me too!
Really nice Speaker card …vintage gold ….David
Wow, great cards and even better stories from the National experience. That B&B was over the top.
Yes it was

Well done, Robert with Prestige is a great guy. You won't find a more honest dealer/auctioneer in the hobby.
Great looking pick ups John.
Thanks

Unique stuff, very cool to see.
Great pickups and recap my friend. Love how tickles pink you get when you find the envelope that goes with the pickup. 👍🏽
Great hanging with you again! I was going through James withdrawal!
You had a great show. It was great to hang a little and get to know you better. My only regret is that I can't do that with everybody.
Great seeing you

Wish you luck finding one! It feels so good once you do.
Love your videos. Fun to watch and hell even educational 😂.

Fantastic cards and a great video

Great pickups John keep staying true and dont change ❤
Thanks
Those Dean brothers cards are amazing
Love the rice stix. Need to add them to my Dizzy Dean collection. Such a tough issue to find.
Man you really loaded up on grails! Love those Rice Stix cards and Gold Coin! #TheQuest
I thought I was with royalty when we went to the mag pro booth! 😂
You’re a legend John!
Haha. A legend in my own mind
UA-cam showed me a Special K commercial right after you showed your Wheaties card and minutes after I left a comment on your last video about giving my wife a weightloss book.
Ha
Looking forward to meeting you in Chicago next year.
We are thinking about doing Strongsville instead. None of us really want to go to Chicago.
Right On Telly Savalas
Sounds like a great time!
It was! Thanks.
You let me check out that Speaker sitting outside across the street on a break. Waited to show me the envelope while I soaked in the card….😉. Congratulations beauty
Yes. Hey
@@MrJmangini I think it cost $3 😉😁😎
@@SEMOBrianT absolutely!
I'm honored to have held that Speaker in my hands, but also terribly envious that you were able to find it. I need to be more patient reviewing tables!
I believe this Speaker postcard is a lot in the current REA auction.
Assuming you visited Cards at the Cages in Greensboro, which is one of my two LCS's. I'm about half an hour away in Winston-Salem. Hate I didn't run into you in Cleveland!
Yes that’s the one.
Great pickups.
Thanks
Nice Pickups, i think the Pepper Martin might have been my favorite/
Thanks. Yea it’s a great card
That charlie hustle signed 64 venny is a gem. 🔥
Thanks
all i buy is grail cards, comfy shoes and snacks!
Ha
You have a great attitude Eric peace
Thanks
Great to meet you in person John!
You too my man! I was looking forward to it.
3 dollars is way gone. If I would have gone, I would have missed a 1950's wrestling flyer signed by the wrestlers for all of 10c! Eric has always been the man and now we got to see him on video
I may have gone over my budget.
The Depends 🤣
Haha

Hahaha you’ll never hear me say that. I love em all!
The voice of reason.🤭 Has anyone ever called you that before?
Just my Mom lol
Can’t wait for our next road trip😊🤙🏽
Yes!
Sounds like an incredible time. I’m in Raleigh, NC. What’s the name of the card shop in Greensboro?
Cards at the cages
@@MrJmangini Thx John
@@MrJmangini Thx John
Yeah boy 🎉
Ha ha ha everyone is messing with Rick ha ha ha
Haha
Best combo card on earth !! What a gift
I’m glad those cards don’t look like shit- but if you show cards that do, please be honest and say so. 😂
Haha
See john everyone tells you how great you are. You need me to keep the balance. Did you see that fraud mangini buying all those graded cards. He is so hooked he even puts his raw cards in fake slabs lol
Hahaha. You keep me honest.
Next video I do with a crap card I’ll say it looks like crap. But I won’t use the word you said 😉
No dont!
SMH in disappointment, you bought GRADED cards!
Not much of a choice these days.
