Great Video and thanks for sharing my room and story 👊
Thanks for trusting me with it!
love this kind of stuff, thank you for showing us ..im working on my space right now music jam / sports room lol
That room is like a dream. One of the coolest things I’ve seen. Super inspiring. Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Mike,
My name is Greg. I was born in 1956 and I can remember buying cards from as far back as 1964 at the age of 7. I never considered myself a collector, just a baseball nut. I happened to become a Yankee ballboy in 1971. I'd won a trivia contest on the radio and won 2 Yankee homestands. I worked a weekend series in June and July. I was assigned to work the first base foul territory. The Yankees had given me a few "gifts" for winning. In addition to my uniform and a bat was a wax box of 1971 cards. I was told by my Dad to take great care of them and so I cherished them, never really "played" with them. I still cherish them today and have them in my set binder in pristine condition.
That was really the beginning of my collecting life that continues to this day. I'm primarily a set builder but collect certain players too. I've built all the sets of the 70's and 60's and some odd sets from the 50's. Needless to say the 1971 Topps design is my favorite and have collected many autographed cards with that design. Past and present players.
Anyway, I enjoy your channel very much and look forward to future videos.
Greg, this is a really cool story! Thanks for watching!
In 1976 my brother bought me my first pack and I pulled a Yaz card, being from Boston, I couldn’t have been happier. I still have that card and have been collecting ever since. Great video, great channel.
That is awesome!
That card room is amazing! And love the story of his favorite card, and how he got it! Very cool! 😀
I think so too!
This card room is a goal in my life. Only I do football cards.
I'm in awe of that card room. Just absolutely incredible.
I'm a Yaz collector as well.
Great story on the '67 Yaz. I wish I were that savvy at 55 as he was at 12.
I think I grabbed my 67 for 20 bucks
@@markhoyle2275 Bought my first 40 years ago for around the same, I'm sure. Bought another for $40 few years back and graded it.
As did I. I’ve got two of each for the Yaz run
Thats the way to show off cards Dan. Why have them in boxes or drawers show them babys off. Wow nice collection and well displayed. Thanks for letting us see it Dan. Jason your funny I liked they way you presented to him 🤣. Great story Mike . Can you imagine the stories people have on cards they own i bet you there's some great ones.
Exactly!
I still have the 1986 Canseco Donruss for the only reason that I traded a MINT 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie my brother pulled and gave me for it at a local card shop! My brother died couple yrs ago at 39 and he gave me crap about that till the end! I'm 50 now never had the resources to buy another Jordan but is on my bucket list and I will take it to his grave and show him I finally got it back!
Ouch. Sorry about your Jordan card but especially about your brother.
I don't even collect older cards but I love cards and the stories. U are doing good my guy.
Thank you!
Great story and amazing collection. Not a Red Sox fan but huge fan of super collections of anything (that was the best part of Beckett). Very well done and thanks for the share.
Thanks Chris!
Wow! I'm new to the channel but have been struggling with how to handle ~3 tubs of my childhood "set" PC which are currently in card boxes. That wall of binders with the nice labels is very tempting!
Welcome aboard!
Holy moly Mike! This collection is truly wonderful! BTW, your passion for the hobby is readily apparent when you speak of vintage cards.
Thank you again for a great video.
Peter
Thanks Peter!
Terrific gifts from Jason and spectacular hobby room by Dan!
This was a great video and great stories.
First video I found of yours. Time to go down the rabbit hole now that I have subscribed. Great story and pics.
Thanks and welcome
Great Yaz story...amazing deal if he got the Yaz AND his $60...seems more likely at that point was just a straight trade the $60 already invested and the Canseco? Thx for sharing.
He got the $60 back AND the Yaz!
That room looks awesome and sounds like an outstanding Yaz collection. Man, I like Jack Morris, probably because I like the Detroit Tigers and live in Minnesota. I've met him a few times, at card shows and celebrity banquets. Great video.
It’s okay to like Jack Morris! It’s okay to disagree with me!
I am enjoying your videos quite a bit. You are possibly my favorite UA-cam baseball card guy. Keep them coming please.
Wow!! Thank you!
What a nice looking room.
Great story and amazing room so stoked you shared with us. ❤ 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am wanting me build my own custom shelving to store my cards and look cool so always like seeing how others keep their cards !
Good luck!
I bought a 1967 Carl Yastrzemski card, PSA graded, solely for what I read on the back. In the off season, Carl worked for a Boston printing firm. I thought that was a cool fact to know. I wonder what he did there. I work in a local print shop here in southern VA and I just had to have that card.
That IS cool!
What do you think about this room? Do you have an amazing card room?
Unbelievable room. I collect the same. Thanks for sharing
New subscriber! The Canseco hype train was real! Loved the story!
My card room is my apartment,on the table,on the floor,in the bedroom,on shelves,all over!
lol me too
Newly subscribed, I follow you on instagram and saw the thumbnail for this video and had to come over a check it. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. What a great story and episode. Dave
Thanks for coming over, Dave!
Thank you for taking the time. Love the channel. Big collector of Eric Davis from the Reds. Did you ever get to meet Yaz?
Thanks. Never met Yaz. I’m not a fan of meeting heroes.
1967 is Yaz’s triple crown season. Great card from a relatively lackluster set. Really good video!
Yes! Thank you!
Dan’s card room was indeed amazing. However, after sharing those awesome pictures and than Juxtaposed with your two meager shelves in the background- I had to chuckle. There’s nothing wrong with being the common man of card collecting because viewers like myself can relate to you and your humble nature plus you tell good stories (even if you hate on Jack Morris who grew up in the same city I did and in my opinion had the greatest pitching performance in WS history- propelling the Twins to their 2nd WS championship). Lol
I agree about his WS performance! I remember watching it live. But that doesn’t make him a HOFer. Nor do his career stats.
@@JunkWaxHero I think the preclusion of certain steroid era players from the HOF has opened the door for lower tier players like Morris, , Simmons, Halladay, Messina, Rolen- you name it. The standards have been lowered- that I will agree with 😊.
I must live under a rock. As a collector of HOF players I didn’t know Jack Morris was in it. Thx, Good to know!
It was a controversial pick a few years ago. I’m not bitter. 🤣
Also I just found out today that Billy Williams is in the HOF, so you’re not alone. I thought I knew every HOFer.
Didn’t know that one either lol, Billy Williams on the radar. Just won a Jack Morris 1978 rookie today on eBay raw for $2.99 free shipping. Boy this hobby is killing me 😂
@@forzendikar9908 nice!
Your best yet. Thanks
Thanks Ken!
Definitely your highest viewed video
3rd
Super Collector Saturday has a nice ring to it.
I think so too!
Great cards Mike! Dan's room is quite impressive! Great video! New subscriber here, keep putting out the great content!
I called it before you said! Jack Morris, classic!
Hahaha nice
Cool story and great room photos.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was today years old when I decided what I want my card room to look like.
Pretty sick, right??
Glad you liked the cards. This video sort of feels like a subscriber spotlight video. 🤣🤣
I love highlighting subscribers!
37 may as well be called antique 😏
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Orlando!
That’s a great story! New subscriber here.
Thanks and welcome
just saw this vid, im very curious what are those display shelves you have behind you? Where did you get them? They look like they might be relatively cheap and exactly what im looking for.
Thanks, my dad built them for me!
@@JunkWaxHero appreciate the reply. I was hoping you had purchased them. Cheers
love this kind of video
Thank you!
Great video. Love the content.
Glad you enjoy it!
I've got cards and now need a room. P.S. SGC rules!
I need a room too!
Dan, would love to know where you got the angled glass display case
I found it at an antique shop.
Beautiful room. Jack Morris is a no brainer HoF. Re-watch those 3 World Series season with Tiger, Twins, Bluejays. Then review his stats and the context of the type of pitcher he was. You tube mlb seasons.
That 84 season,came up huge in the post season,went deep into games,just tailed off a little towards the end but always believed I was watching a Hall of Fame pitcher!
How bout the 10 inning shutout of Atlanta in the World Series? Lord have mercy jesus what a performance, I live in Savannah Ga, Hrbek pulling Gant off bag, Knoblaugh ghosting Lonnie Smith on base pads, Morris should have been in the HOF a very long time ago, great pitcher and guy, If Smoltz is a HOF pitcher, No Brainer that Jack is, I love Frank Viola too
It's my first time here, hello everyone
Hi John!
In 1956 mickey mantle wins triple Crown.
Objectively speaking, 1956 is one of the best sets of the decade. I wouldnt fault anyone for liking 1953s artwork better. Mantle did not have a 1954 or 55 topps card............
So figure .......... It should be way more in demand than some other years.
I remember when Canseco was hotter than fish grease lol I hear you say Morris is a jerk, How so? Guess on TV he was just being nice, Love the card room, big Yaz fan but not a Sox fan
I have 3 joe carter autos
An actual legend who is not in the hall of fame.
One of my all time favorite players, I love his 84 Donruss rated rookie card, Would love to have that card signed, A lot of people dont know he was with Cubs and Indians before Toronto
@@billysikes1374 his 1986 season was his best
How was a 67 yaz that much back then. Before grading etc? Kinda sounds like the shop owner was taking advantage of him
Yeah I wondered that too but who knows
Great point , I never looked at it that way.
But some additional factors, I grew up in Rhode Island which was Red Sox county so all Red Sox cards were sought after.
Yaz got inducted into the Hall of Fame in 89 so his popularity was high at that time.
Although there was no grading back then the card is Mint, I’m no professional grader, but it would get around a 7.
And the 67 Yaz card is his triple crown year so it always had a little more value, that holds true to this day.
@@danpina2125 amazing collection you have!
Someone should check in on Carl.
I believe I'm a super collector 538 different griffeys? Did I make the cut? Lol what is the actual count does anyone know? I thought it's was 250 for some reason
I’m not sure! 538 is a lot to me.
@Junk Wax Hero hahaha alot of hunting with a beonette under my ebay barrel 😉😂🤣😂
@@rage508cardsngrails do you have a cool display?
@@JunkWaxHero Dan's collection as a fellow Bostonian is God tier along with the card room that would be my dream if I had to choose the display he nailed it
Lol these rooms are the beginning of divorce conversations I'm pretty sure. That being said, I'm already 40% done with mine.😂
What about you tour collections??
What do you mean?
When a 3 year old card is selling for $100, the world has gone insane. (1989)
😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
Why do you hate Jack Morris? Braves fan?
He’s a notorious jerk. Google it and you’ll find some stories out there. His teammates didn’t even like him.
Why hate Jack Morris?
Well aside from the fact that he’s a notorious jerk, he’s also VASTLY overrated. The overrated part isn’t his fault though.
With money collect is so easy eh jajajaja
I have quite a few Jack Morris autographs. Hate to say it, but that DK card you received does not look legit. Morris signs in pretty fluent cursive script.
Booooo. Could be an older auto?
I cringed when u said u hate Jack Morris.
(And im an indians fan)
The only hall of famer who makes me cringe .........
That i couldve lived with.
Where did you get those shelves behind you?
My dad built them for me
