    Love the Bradshaw poster and Steelers pennant. My sons in their youth use to collect baseball cards. Now their sons took over their collection and they now collect.

    Great video. Nice to see you back. Yep get past 50 and if you’re anything like me you start looking at your collection & realise they’re are records in there that will never get played again....because time won’t allow!...it’s dead cash. I call it the vinyl collector/ realisation of mortality moment! Hope you keep posting.

    It was different when vinyl was cheap - even the rare stuff... now, even junk is pricey - the fun is gone so I just do digital except a rare instance - so I listen digitally (but you knew that). Yup, definitely a cool Eddie poster.

    I used to be the first one to comment on a lot of new videos. I am loosing my touch. So good to see this new video Bo. After speaking to you a few days ago I was hoping that you would post a new one. I got my wish granted. I did know how much a lot of the stuff that you enjoy reading about and collecting meant to you. Anyone who has followed your channel and who has not missed many of your videos could probably post a video just on your videos. {smile} One of the things that I remember you doing a video on was lunchboxes. I have been looking for classic lunchboxes to pop up at yard sales since you talked about them a few years ago. I will find one or two for you one of these days. I am also a card collector from way back. Hopefully I will share some of my hockey collection in one of my upcoming videos. Fortunately I was old enough when the 10¢ packs of Topps Hockey Cards were being sold. I used to walk down to this store called Drohan's and I would stand in front of the front window contemplating how many packs that I could buy with the two dollars and change that I saved up from my paper route. The owner loved the kids so he always stocked the penny candy inside and the four major sports carts in the front window. I still buy packs of cards occasionally. One of my friends that lives in Philly who collects vinyl also belongs to the card community here on You Tube. His handle is Weskergriff if you want to check out his videos. He keeps me posted as to what is hot in baseball, football, etc.. Well respected and really nice guy. Anyways. It pleases me to see and hear about your other interests. I knew that you were a history buff from way back. I will support all of your videos. I do not only watch your videos because of your music knowledge and your vinyl finds. I also consider you a longtime friend that I met thanks to the VC and our common interest in music. I respect you very much Bo. I have said it before and I will say it again. You do have leadership qualities. Well done. Enjoy the rest of the weekend~

      Wow Rob, such a nice comment. Thank you very much. You are a true gentleman and a legend in the VC. I too have started collecting hockey since Seattle joined the nhl. But in my indomitable way I’ve focused on the past. Mostly getting 70s hickey cards. I really love the old WHA items. I have two complete sets and a dozen pennants. My only nhl pennant is the California golden seals. I don’t have cable anymore but I do get CBUT out if Vancouver BC so I do watch hockey night in Canada on saturdays. Especially if the kraken are playing. I do like more than football I promise. It’s just all that football stuff ended up together. Btw, yes, your comment was definitely one of the determining factors for doing this. Like I said, I never completely shut any door. I will continue to buy records and shoot videos. But there isn’t any rhyme or reason to it. Just when it feels right I guess. Stay well my friend.

    Hey Bo, I getcha. I love music, but over the past years, I had to slow it all down because I found myself buying shit just to be buying shit. And sometimes feeling really stupid afterward. Now I am more aware. I still hunt...because that's always been the best part...but now I buy the albums I really want to spend time with...rather than to impress. (if that makes any sense)
    I have other interests, too. I like tabletop sports games. Stratomatic, Payoff Pitch, Statis Pro. Rolling the dice. Flipping the cards. Collecting different team seasons. And I spin my albums while I play. That's also a great way to find the records I really enjoy and what I need to purge.
    I love baseball games on the radio. Royals and Cubbies...whichever one is going. And I buy a MLB sub. every year. I'm a big reader, as well.
    Finally, life's too short. I can see it all around me. Now, I haven't given up the hobby either...I've just put to bed the need to try and keep up.
    Glad you posted just to know you're still out there. You, along with a handful of early UA-camrs from the beginning got my feet wet in the vinyl hobby...and for that, I will forever be grateful. ~stay safe...and lucky. Casey

    • @earheadsix4119
      @earheadsix4119  2 роки тому +1

      Casey, you nailed it. It was one thing to be taking chances with purchases when they were cheap. But now? I was feeling stupid all the time with bad buys. I love listening to baseball on the radio. In fact, I often listen to old games on UA-cam at bedtime.

    Hey Bo, great to see you. Love the intro🤣🤣 and digging the refreshing honesty :) I hear you with collecting, I feel like I'll eventually make it to the bridge you've crossed. Haven't made a video in a long time and my vinyl collection size has gone backwards in that time. I was buying for the sale of owning, not to listen. I'm listening more to CD and tape these days, that's all I can play in my shed while I work. Always good to take stock, which it sounds like you've done a lot of. Love seeing your room morph and evolve with the pennants. Enjoy those Midwest history trips later this year!! Cheers- Dean

    Nice seeing you post again, Bo! I can understand what your talking about. I am starting over again trying to spin through all of my records and start thinning them out. Ever since 2015 when my migraines got so bad that I had to stop working on a bachelors degree, I started reading books for pleasure again. I have several books that I've bought mainly at thrift stores where I can buy them for around the same price as the records are at them. I also get records for free that I can read from my ereaders. Some are new releases, but I am also into books that are in the public domain.
    Take care and hope to see more videos by you.

    Have to admit that, at 65 years old, when I stand in my music room and look around, makes me wonder how am I gonna listen to nearly all 5k of my recordings. Doubt if I'll be able to listen to everything, while still playing my favorites. I have, what, 5, 10 maybe 20 years left on this planet if im lucky? So yeah I know where you are coming from.
    I've also started to buy more CDs as well.
    Lastly great score on the Mudhoney! Really a groundbreaking band that's overlooked. People, mainly the older ones who snubbed Grunge, need to really listen to the music. Always thought that Era was a breath of fresh air. And that Maiden album with all the extras....sweet.

    • @earheadsix4119
      @earheadsix4119  2 роки тому +1

      The 90s were a big breath of fresh air for music. 80s really started to get stake. So much sounded alike. So much synthesizer it got boring. For me, with record prices what they’d cloned too and everybody buying, deals had fallen through the cracks. Everything is priced to what the market would bear. I mean when albums like Rumors, which used to be a thrift store staple, hitting $25 dollars and up? It wax time to enjoy other mediums. In fact? I’m ok with just bringing up a playlist on my phone. I mean, and this is where I list my train of thought in the video, music is all about mood and activity. It’s why the music of old nfl films is so moving. It builds the drama. At this stage I’d rather build memories or buy baseball cards.

    I’ve used to be a big (American) football fan; but for the last 25+ years that’s switched to basketball. After seeing some of your posts on Instagram (?) I’m now on the lookout for Spur’s pennants for each of their championships.

ABA, NBA, etc. in my living room I have a Pistol Pete Maravich poster and New Orleans Jazz poster. My first NBA game as a kid was those same New Orleans Jazz at my Seattle SuperSonics. Hope you are well.

      Exactly. You are passionate about records. You have a discerning ear. I have neither of these. For me? I just like listening to music. So in the end the medium doesn’t matter. I still buy records occasionally. When the bug hits and the price is right. But honestly? I’d rather chase lunch boxes or Hartland gunfighters.

    Hi Bo... Will you look at the old ABA Bball. Cool. Aww Kenny Stabler, loved that team. Steelers I always hated. LOL .... I ain't a collector either Bo. Ever since I started here I told all the collectors I'm a listener not a collector. It's the nostalgia for me. I have very few "New" records... Actually any artifact from back in the day or way back when piques my interest. Be true to yourself Bo Baby, that's the ticket... Nice to see you again kid...

      Hi Bobby. In another bedroom I have an homage to the old WHA. My favorite piece? A Minnesota Fighting Saints pennant (the Hanson brothers real life team). My friends joke my house looks like a sports bar with all the old nostalgia. Funny thing? We too hate the Steelers. Before Seattle had a team we rooted for Oakland and the stealers (as I call them) kept beating the raiders in the afc championship. Until 1976 that is, but Seattle was in the league that year so our interest in Oakland wasn’t as strong. Plus, thanks to the officials, the stealers beat my hawks in Super Bowl XL. Love your love videos bobby. Keep them coming.

    About half the cds I have aren't on any streaming service. I would never get rid of hardly any of it as I'd be one unrenewed contract from having the music that is available on a streaming service taken away. Professional sports specifically baseball are heavily in decline to my eyes. MLB isn't worth watching and in all honesty I'd rather watch a minor league game.
