Love the 64 stand up Mays.
Thanks Jason!
I can look at show footage of vintage cards all day. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching. Plenty more coming!
Great pickups... Love the new ruler..the colors on that are really awesome!
Thanks Dirk! They really show so nicely!
Thanks for the footage, great additions. That stand up Mays is beautiful.
Thanks Doug!
Love the Stand Up May, huge congrats
Thank you so much!
You know I dig the basketball! 🏀
Love the Mays standup too!
Thanks Jake. I feel like there has to be others besides us lol
The Stand up is hands down high level cool
Thank you! I was thrilled to have found it!
@@SammyThunder I bet ☺
Another great vlog. Thanks!
Thanks Tim!
The 67 mays looks trimmed
Are you referring to the one that I picked up in the bin?
Crazy prices
Yeah, well, you have to weed out the high priced with the fair priced
Love the colors on the rulers. Some real nice pickups on cards and what I thought were excellent prices. Another great one Sammy!
Thanks Mike. The rulers are really great to look at. When you have them lined up, they really pop!
Thanks for taking your time with the show tour. Amazing how much the 52 Mantles have exploded! George is very fair with his pricing (and condition grading). Congrats on the Mays!
Thank you! It was great seeing you at Garfield! The Mantles have gone through the roof!
All it takes is somebody in the hobby to hype up a certain card and all the sheep start flocking
thanks for the mention!
😎👍🏻
Some of those dealer prices were ridiculous
That's why it's important to see through the entire show for the right dealers to buy from.
100 %@@SammyThunder
Yes, they were just as bad in person. They just screamed at me, “don’t bother to even try to negotiate!”
That ‘69 Seaver is a real blazer 🔥
Yes sir! Couldn't agree more!
Great show and video. The guy with all those Mays cards had an incredible set up
I find it amazing the amount of cards some of these dealers have.
@@SammyThunder I thought the same thing at the National as well. And then some will have absolute gems tucked away in value bins. Just insane stuff
I heard myself in the video. Lol. I think I missed out by not looking in some of those bins. The cards in the showcases were often priced too high to take seriously. I ended up buying a lot of stuff in binders and stacks.
Thanks for the video!
That's a nice way to buy. There are some good stuff to find in binders and stacks. It was good to see and talk with you a bit at the Garfield show!
@@SammyThunderThat wasn’t me, but I will say hi if I see you at another show. I really enjoy your channel.
You’re right. I’m sorry about that. I misread your UA-cam name. There was another content creator at the show that shares the “vintage” name that I spoke with. I apologize about the mixup
It was nice of that dealer to give you half off the cards he had priced 3x too high 😅 Im only kidding. Great video! Awesome pick ups. Compared to modern stuff, vintage cards are a bargain. U have a good eye for it. Thanks for sharing.
Lol. For some of the tables, that was the case. George had some cards that were 3x the price, but in his defense, his table had some cards that were probably priced from maybe a year or two ago. He was awesome and gave some additional discounts. I think George loves the interaction with sellers. There is almost a level of pride in helping others build their sets.
Great show footage again Sammy! Loved the Willie Mays standup and the 1971 Clemente.
Thanks Stuke!
George is my go to guy at the East Coast National. Sadly this was his last show. Nice pick ups!
It seems like just about every card show has same cards on display. I don't hate it...I'm more of a vintage collector, but just find it interesting. At least this East Coast National card show had some vintage basketball and vintage football mixed in. I like the Orioles hat in the back ground :] Some awesome pick ups, Sammy. Recently bought a Willie Mays card too. 1959 Topps #464 Mays' Catch Makes Series History...
It does become a lot of the same. You're right about that and I have thought about that. I probably should try and make a conscious effort to diversify the table showcases.
Yeah, I was looking for modern basketball - I’m a big Anthony Edwards fan. Only 2 tables had good modern basketball out of like 500. All the other tables had the same stuff - baseball and football. Lots and lots of vintage
Hi Sammy, great footage. Being a repeat buyer from dealers you know, is a great way of building a relation, that more often than not, benefits you down the road. I'm not a fan of going thru cards that are just in a plastic bin or tote. I find it so much easier for everyone, if they're stacked in boxes. You had some really nice pickups (69 Seaver, 71 Clemente), but that Mays stand up, looks beautiful. Getting 50% off on star cards, is an awesome deal, any day the week. Nice pickups as always, and love seeing those ruler cards, very unique. Thanks for sharing, Stephen
Thanks Stephen. The totes/bins can prove to be a challenge. Especially when you want to record footage of the show and provide some point of view footage. I feel like it can become a bit monotonous, so I try to give a little here and there. That said, you're right about being a repeat buyer. It changes everything in terms of making deals.
Dave DeBusshere! Wow...man, you and I must have similar taste in obscure players lol. The Catfish Hunter and now 'big D'. Awesome. My dad enjoyed watching DeBusshere when he was a kid. Also, was briefly a baseball player for Chicago White Sox. Safe to say, Dave made the right choice with basketball. A member of the last New York Knicks team to win a championship, and a member of NBA Top 75 anniversary team as well.
He's certainly a big name here in NYC. I remember watching the VHS NBA Awesome Endings when I was younger (which is an awesome NBA video btw, if you haven't seen it) and they cover the great 1970 NBA Finals where Reed goes down. DD had to cover Chamberlain.
Hi Sammy you are right on point the show was great i was there on Saturday and it was like going to heaven. I found really go deals in the side room picked up a bunch of mid grade slabs all like 5's 53 bowman of campanell, Dobly & Mathews 57 peewee & 59 arron & Mathews and 55 hodges & few others really good dealers willing to work with you on pricing. And went back on Sunday and droped of 40 cards at SGC for grading price just to good to pass up and you save on the shipping to them.
That's awesome that you had a great show for yourself. In the side room, do you remember which table you purchased from? I wonder if it was Harry's table.
4:30 I recognize that voice!
It's the voice of a guy that loves to sell at card shows!
Sammy! I missed you in west Chester! Awesome pickups - I thought that show was freaking great. I’m gonna do my recap video tonight - my haul isn’t quite as nice as yours tho.
I hope you enjoyed your time there. I'll keep an eye out for your recap.
Congratulations on the Billy Cunningham Basketball Ruler pickup!! Awesome Willie May’s Standup Card!! Looks as though it was an amazing show!! Keep up the great content!!
Thanks Ken. The Cunningham was a big surprise. I didn't care that it was stained. It was a nice surprise.
Some really nice pickups for sure! I can't wait to see what you get for grades if you send them in. I have been doing really good with my vintage subs with PSA as far as getting what I think in my pregrades. I have a modern sub there now that I am very nervous about. I will get that video up once I get the cards back. Keep up the great work and you gained a new subscriber!
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad that you're been knocking it out of the park in your submissions. It's a really great feeling when you are able to get the grades you've hoped for.
Ohhhh man did that show look like total fun !! I could spend a week there easy !! I would not know where to start LOL I really like that 69 Seaver ! It is very sharp looking. Everyone has a spot for Clemente. I wonder where he would of gone if he had not died in that plane crash. Ohhh I love the Rose ! That Aaron is a beauty too ! Yes, that Mays card is sexy ! Still has such bright colors too. Congrats on getting that for your PC. Never heard of Dave. I do not get into basketball. I can still appreciate cool stuff though and those rulers looks sick all together !! I am a fan of the rulers. They are so different. Unique is the word I am looking for LOL Fantastic pick ups, thanks for sharing !!
Thanks Lisa. It was like a kid in a candy shop!
Are prices correct on those vintage cards that are in card savers? They’re $20-60, which seems like a lot! Shesh
You know, I totally understand what you're saying. The first impression a lot of people have is that card shows are hiked up prices, which can be true depending on who you approach. However, if you take the time to go table to table, you'll find good deals.
I don’t understand why they don’t price things to sell. This whole notion that you have to negotiate is just tiresome and really puts me off when looking through the card shows
Those ruler cards are so cool I never see them at card shows though maybe I’ll find some at the next show khere in the villages in Florida in september well good hunting my freind great video as usual
That ruler was sneakily placed at the bottom of a stack that George had. His table resembles what card show tables looked like back in the 70s. I only know this from photographs I've seen of shows in the 70s.
Hi Sammy, thank you for posting the video. It looks like a great show. My favorite pickup is the 71 Clemente. You got a great deal on that one.
Thanks Jim! I was pleasantly surprised.
Sweet pickups Sammy I have to get back out there. Love your card show videos keep up the good work. The May's stand up is great Don field of dreams has the complete set. Take care bud👊✌
Thank you! I'll have to see if Don has a video going through the entire set.
@@SammyThunder I think he does one of his early ones✌
Good looking out!
Great show video and awesome pickups. Congratulations on the Mays stand up and the new ruler purchase. Thanks again for sharing
Thank you Orlando!
Really fun show. It was good to be back again at the county center after almost 4 years. Cool pickups - especially digging the Mays standup and ‘71 Clemente. I love that you captured a bit of George banter in the background for posterity: “…Can I sue him for hurting my feelings” 🤣
I caught it at the best time lol. George is great to buy from! I hope you found some good stuff for yourself!
C'mon, admit it. You were totally inspired by the Woodie Held Stand Up that I bought at the National.
You got me! Woodie Held Stand Up is the source of all inspiration and expectation of excellence!
Hi Sammy. Great episode. I was at the show later on Saturday. Question. At about the 7 minute mark in your video you chatted with a friendly dealer that who i picked up a few cards but didn’t get his name. Sounded like you’ve work with him in the past. Wondering if you have his name by chance?
Steven. Nice guy.
Sammy, so cool to see the show footage. Aisle’s definitely felt narrow but crowd didn’t look too bad! Congrats on the 71 Clemente, great card! 😀 So happy you got the Mays stand up, happy me and Matt inspired you! Love it!
At times, they were. But, for the most part, I was comfortable navigating around the show with very little issue. Yes! I'm becoming more and more inspired by the less traditional collectibles that y'all have been scooping up. There's something to it.
Is this still a Rothstein show, or did that end years ago?
I want to say that this is now Jim Ryan's show. JP's Sports & Rock Solid Promotions.
@@SammyThunder I’m showing my age. The last show I went to in White Plains was a Gloria Rothstein show in 1992 give or take.
I was young at that time, but I do remember going when it was Rothstein. Sorry if this also shows your age. Not the purpose, I swear.
@@SammyThunder that’s ok. I forgot what we were talking about anyway. Get off my lawn!
