Like #1, Warren Moon in the house of cards! Once again, beautiful condition 1972-73' Basketball cards in this last group. I do not own any from this year, but I always thought it was a really cool design. Compared to football and baseball I never really collected much basketball or hockey, but love them non the less. Good luck at the National with the trades 👍👍 and ✌out.
Cool Find! Love the Tom and Jerry, Porky Pig and Woody Woodpecker. When I collected comics as a child, I had the Unknown Soldier, Thor and Aquaman, Can't remember if I had any others. I always wanted the KISS comics where they had their blood drawn and put in to the ink...lol Enjoyed the video. 👍👍 and ✌out
I forgot about that Kiss thing. I wonder if it was real, or just another Gene Simmons marketing gimmick?! That guy is a piece of work! I was a Rush and Prog rock fan, more than a Kiss fan, even though in Detroit they got a lot of airplay.
@@mackeymintle66 I'm pretty sure there is video of them doing the process with the blood, but even if it was a gimmick. As much as I feel Gene is a greedy business person, in my eyes he is still a marketing Gene-ious. Pun intended.....lol Sold much of my Kiss collection years ago after asking myself, why am I continuing to make Gene wealthier than he already is? A number of things were rare and high in value to the collectors. I do have most of my Kiss cards and a few original albums that I gave to my oldest son last year when he got his turn table and started his vinyl collection. He loves Queen as well, an old soul so to speak. I like Rush as well. 👍
@@Andys_Attic i found a Kiss “double View” view master film cartridge of Kiss, in a thrift store in Tracy, Ca. In 1989 or so. Still on the bubble card. Sold it 15 years later for a lot. Maybe 100 bucks? On eBay. I’m sure i made some Kiss collector happy! 😃 i agree Gene is quite the innovative and hard working marketing genius. 👍
I only had about 10 games, but I noticed you had the Black jack and Poker. I remember playing Black Jack quite a bit. Also had, Football, Baseball, Some racing game (Not Pole Position) and also remember a game similar to Zaxxon. Liked this video and would love to see more for sure. Never had the Intellivision II, Didn't even know it existed....lol 👍👍 and ✌out
👍 sometimes the simple games were the most fun, and had the most replay value. When I was making the 2nd Medal of Honor game, I was heavily buying NES carts from video stores that were going out of business… I would play test each game for a few minutes… after playing 400 different games, the final stack of games that were actually fun, was like a dozen carts! It’s hard to make a good game, or movie!!!
Like #1, Ozzie Smith "The Wizard" in the house of cards! Great looking 1972-73' Topps basketball cards my friend. Very worthy of grading, even though I know you are using them for trade bait at the National. Enjoy watching and I see your subs are slowly creeping up also, happy for you. Have a safe and happy 4th. 👍👍 and ✌out
I own that Jar already… just wanted to get more experienced marble folks to give their informed opinion on what they thought it might be worth. No plan to sell it, I just like having as much information as possible in my memory banks. I collect so many different things, it’s hard to stay up to date on all the going rates…👍😎
New Sub! Detroit MIch. Well Done Brotha! I'll take a Box of iNTv Stuff at 41 I still havent played an Intellivision, Always wanted to see what that weird Disc was about LOL
When I was a kid every 4th of July we’d drive a couple hrs to my aunt/ uncles lake house for the weekend. We’d drive through tons of small towns along the way and I LOVED looking out the car window and taking in them setting up their squares and parks for the festivities the whole town would go to
When it comes to eyes did you know when a calf is born its eyes are open immediately. With goats it takes about 3 days for their eyes to open after birth. With puppies it can take up to six days for their eyes to open. Kittens it takes a few weeks for their eyes to open. When it comes to humanity most of us don't get our eyes open until marriage.
I remember finding that, in a bag of other Intv games and loose Atari 2600 carts. I had to buy the whole bag, to get that one…the rest of the bag was all duplicates for me, but it was back in 1993. The whole bag only cost $2.95 or something! 😇😅
Some of my subscribers and friends do good buying jars of marbles. My experience has always been if there's anything nice in the jar it's always played hard. Almost all of my quality pieces have came from other collectors estates or shows who have already identified them. Good post keep them coming ✌️👍🔨
I’m happy to trade my crisp-ish nobodies for other cards I need. I’m still finishing the tall boys, in all 3 sports. Hockey seems the hardest. Almost done with 69-70 Basketball, and 65 Football.
Thanks for your comment. The marble community seems the most enthusiastic for content, according to my analytic data. I need to find some more cool ones! 😅 Posting mostly sportscards stuff in July, leading up to the National Card Show.
I agree! I’m game! I’ll be showing and telling stories about 1948,1957,1961,1969,1970,71,72,73 Basketball….my GPK collection hasn’t even been shown yet? I am (so far) successfully posted at least 1 video per day, and am planning on doing so until next May. Stay tuned for way too much weird stuff! 😎👍🤓 I have more WackyPackages content n my channel than most. 🤟🏽 Thanks for watching!
I am going to keep some, but… there’s a nice lady in my neighborhood who makes glass lawn sculptures/things that she sells at small town craft shows, and the big highway 127 4-day garage sale… She let me look at her jars of marbles once, before I had ANY clue… so I want to give her my sparkling chipped ones to add to her creative palette. 🤷🏼♂️😬
Like #1. Funny how we sometimes forget what we have in boxes. Sometimes it's a nice surprise. Atari was cool, but my first system was intellevision. Loved it as a kid! The AI made me laugh with the corn on the cob and Conrad Dobler 😂😂
I have almost all the Intellivision games, in theory boxes!! I have to do a series on them. Mattel was the n South LA area, so I was fortunate to be thrifting, daily, in the 90’s… lucking into ex-employees’ garage box donations.😎👍👌 Found some unusual stuff, that I eventually was able to identify… Some good industry stories as well. 👍 The AI videos are so fun to attempt. You get a handful of free tries, each month.
@@mackeymintle66 Unfortunately, roughly 10 years ago I sold my intellevision and all the games in there original boxes complete with all the booklets and controller inserts. Wish I wouldn't have though. The AI stuff seems to be a little freaky, but cool to me and eventually hope to attempt some myself.
@@Andys_Attic I am sure I have some doubles and triples of a couple of games. I plan on starting to do some giveaways or contests, once I have a few more people. I’m happy to trade stuff I have saved for decades, for a larger community of collectors.👍 That feeling of opening forgotten boxes, looms large in my travels.🤪👌 i have a garage full of mystery boxes and tubs! Sharing it on RU-vid will force me to organize and cull… is my ongoing hope. 😁🤷🏼♂️
I vaguely remember… was Woody a prankster? Maybe? Like Bugs Bunny, the Woodpecker? I kinda of recall he was a little “Krazy” too?🤦♂️🤔 I was “encouraged” not to watch TV until I was old enough to buy my own. 🤔🤷🏼♂️(1 hour a week?”, until then…) Maybe THATS why I ended up at film school!?🙃🤨 OMG! Breakthrough! 🤪😁🤣
I’m still not entirely clear why it’s so easy to stare at marbles, for 1/2 an hour? 🤓😝 Maybe it’s just detail oriented brains, or artistic thinkers, but I love watching close up’s in slow motion too!? 😎👍
Thanks for watching! 72-73 is coming soon. Already edited and uploaded. July will be mostly Card videos as I “Advertise” what trader material I have for the National in Cleveland. I’m light on $, but hopefully will find a trader who wants to work out something. 👍😎
I might pay a tad more, like everyone who trusts GMC, but 90% of the time, the “grades” match what they say in the titles. I couldn’t find many legit NM grade raw cards for my sets at the Strongsville show this year. All the 48 bowman football cards I saw there were 2’s and 3’s masquerading as 5-6’s 😂 I assume the National will have slightly better inventory? I have never been to a national.
@@RL3sports i generally “watch” all the 65’s… I am slowly completing that set. We should figure out a way to not bid against each other! 👌🤔🤓 I bought a stack of them a few years back, from a super old guy who had a table at a nearby Moose Lodge show… but the GMC ones that I still need, are usually way miscut, at the prices I am willing to pay. No hope of affording the Namath, but I have most of the other cards. What state do you live in? I used to be able to stay up for the last second snipe bidding, on the West Coast auctions, but I moved to EST a few years back… and I keep grandpa sleep hours. 😴
@mackeymintle66 I had to move to amarillo, TX in 2017. No vintage here. I got Sam Deluca on June 7th. Still need about 75 cards. If you wanna see my partial 62, 63 and 65 topps sets they're on RU-vid. Just look up my name.
Like #3, I personally only remember 11 of them. Not sure if distribution was different on the east coast, but I definitely remember Zaxxon. Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. were awesome and I also use to play a game called Sky Scraper that I liked alot. There was also a Pizza place that just closed down not too long ago that had a Bay Watch pinball machine and I wish I could have gotten a KISS pinball machine. I learned early on that I would rather spend my money on other things. Enjoyed the song. Thanks for sharing with us 👍👍 and ✌out
Sky scraper!? That game doesn’t ring a bell? I will look it up, and see if ever saw it! A friend of mine worked on Baywatch back in like, 1989? Maybe 88? I have his old crew jacket they gave to everyone as a wrap gift, after one of the seasons. I still can’t believe that show became so popular across the globe! Slow motion T and A apparently is a universal language? 😆
Was skyscraper a knock off version of Crazy Climber? Maybe? The only games I found Called skyscraper were old 1930’s electro mechanical ones. I liked Crazy Climber a lot as well. It took precision and skill!
@@mackeymintle66 I am not sure and I am pretty sure it was called skyscraper. You had to climb up buildings while avoiding some birds that would either hit in to you and knock you off and if they s#*t on you it would also either knock you off or knock you down the side of the building a ways (hard to remember 40+ years ago)....lol you would have to get to the top and then a helicopter would take you to the next level I'm pretty sure.
Hi. Your red mib that you questioned as to being a Christensen, I believe is a Japanese Transitional, red being the most abundant followed by blue. I saved many wounded warriors. As a matter of fact, recently I purchased a damaged or played with Akro Agate for $275. It all depends on scarcity. Fun clip, thanks.
Wow! That’s about what I paid for all my marbles put together! I would love to see what a damaged marble that still commands a price like that looks like! There’s a few marble videos in the queue, still. Into July…I have been switching over to more sports cards and old Atari era collections lately…in preparation for the big National show in Cleveland at the end of the Month.
@@jeff-wisconsin8365 huh? Weird. The only marble show on my Radar is in Indiana later in the year. I wish we could post pictures in these comments, but I bet it would get ugly, pretty quickly…🤪🤔 I Dunno how RU-vid auto deletes stuff?
@@jeff-wisconsin8365 i think I saw that one on the big list somewhere. I am closer to Toledo, so Indiana was the closest one to attend without having to drive too far to get home.
I’m not sure. I’m assuming that they are from 1960’s and before. My skill at identifying is still germinating. I can spot some styles of Akro Agate, or Christiansen slags. There’sstill too much information swirling from watching stephen Bahrs’ ID videos. Strong recommend! I watch them all.
There were a bunch… hundreds of beautiful cards at the Strongsville show. More of the same, next Spring! Recommend, if you’re interested in buying only vintage.👌 (I left the show after spending only couple bucks on some 1976 commons)
Thanks for watching! I have a very eclectic collection of things, but I love making marble videos, and exploring my collections! Just by your name, I am envious that you can find marble digs! One of these days! Hopefully I will get to.
@@KentuckyDiggerSteve ooh, I have been watching that bottle digger in North Dakota for a few years. I’m hoping to dig some old outhouse pots in my new town. It’s been around since before the civil war, so there’s probably some good stuff buried around here!? I’m a treasure hunter/ hobby archeologist at heart, metal detectorist… garage sale, record bins… kinda guy. Do you ever post short videos of the bottles you have found?
It was a claymation game forgot what it was called but, it has a cool sound track with human voices kinda like cartoon show Doug from the 90s. Whats the name fred, Clayton sorry forgot. I know to get a secret you would have to walk thur all the credits.
Hah! The endlessly long hallway. Terrible game design… but I think Doug Tenaple wouldn’t compromise. (The guy who created Earthworm Jim… and owned this game studio…) 😬😎
Wouldn’t this be more akin to hoarding when you have dozens of the same thing tucked away in a box? Beautiful examples but kinda sad they won’t be shared.
I’m not burying them with me!🤣🤓 Remember, I already sold off hundreds of these, back between 1994-2001. Collections accumulate over the decades. Do you collect Atari 5200 Carts?
Fun! I remember a couple kids were still playing marbles, at recess in the early 70’s… the only marbles in my house came with Chinese checkers or that game, Kerplunk! Thanks for watching! I’m hoping that the “curious collective” will grow large enough some day to become a resource for all collectors of off the beaten path objects. Do you still own any glass marbles? 🤓
Those pins were so beautiful! I saw a small collection in the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, but not your friend’s relative. It was remarkable how nice the pins looked, yet they are so old. Good storage effort! Do you have any more?
I toyed with the idea of drilling holes in my white picket fence, and adding a bunch of marbles to catch the light… but I decided to hold off for fear of appearing like a hippie or a craft king in my new more conservative neighborhood. 🤪🤨
@@mackeymintle66 live your life making yourself happy forget about everybody else it'll be a lot simpler that way. That's the recipe that works for me anyways 😉😁
@shaneapplegate1975 it’s easier to be happy, if the gangs of cultists don’t get triggered by California Guy.😁👌 I get your point, though. It’s been an adjustment being the “fancy exotic fish” living amongst a stagnant fishbowl of depressed carp, but There’s upsides as well. 🤣👍
@MrJmangini oh! Lol, yes… it’s one of the choices apparently, in iMovie. I generally use my own music, but I was just too tired, editing… went for the canned music👍😬
I have a stack from the next year too! They did look insanely sharp. 🤷🏼♂️😎 I have to double check to make sure they didn’t get sorted incorrectly at some point. 👍😬
