Awesome pickups Billy!! That Aaron rookie card is a winner!! Thanks for taking us along to the National and your coverage of each day!! For each of us that may never have the chance to attend the National it means more than you know!!
Thanks, Ken, for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I could definitely have done a better job of telling the story of the National itself and shot more video on the floor and everything! I appreciate the support.
Those are great pickups. Congratulations Bill. Also, it was great to meet you & shake your hand. The Aaron is amazing & keep showing that beauty. Have a great week ahead sir.
Great final pickups Bill! Especially live the super Mario RC! That Aaron RC is the perfect card at the perfect price point! If I ever land one close to that nice there is a good chance it will make an appearance in all my videos moving forward 😊
@@vintageonvintage817 Thanks Steve! I have some plan in the making for it to appear in future videos for sure! It's probably going to become the most obnoxious purchase on hobby history.🤣 I love the Marion too. Thanks again my friend!
Hi Bill. Great recap my friend. The Lemieux card is a beauty. I agree with you on Lemieux and the fact of him not missing time, he would or could be definitely in the top 5. You had a wonderful National my friend. That Aaron pickup is by far the best story yet. Looking forward to the pickups from the car ride home. You're the best my friend, talk soon pal.
@RipFan8 Thanks, Stephen! You had an amazing National as well! You are too kind, my friend! The cards from the car rude home are pretty sweet, too, but may be anticlimactic after the Aaron! But they are still very cool! Thanks, brother.
@Redneckclector Yes, for sure! We'll definitely have to link up at a show in Saint Louis or hang out when I pass your way! Thanks again for introducing yourself!
That’s a super nice Mario RC! Also, congrats on the Aaron SGC 2! Thanks for sharing that card with me when I met you and Chris from Missouri on Friday.
The Jason Voorhees comment had me rolling haha... Man, I am so happy for you crushing The National like that. What a massive bunch of pick-ups and Ash really hooked you up on that Mario. I mean people argue Lemieux actually was the greatest player ever. Nobody made huge plays look more effortless in the era we watched growing up. 1.88 points per game for his career.. That is BONKERS production. The PSA cert # on the Catfish alone basically means it's a true PSA 8. What a haul of blessings, you absolutely killed it, bro! Great gifts as well, such a generous bunch of friends. And never apologize for your happiness and enthusiasm, it's truly contagious!
Thanks, my friend it was an amazing show! Lemieux has the 2nd highest points per game behind only Gretzky and is the only play to anywhere near the top 10 in all time, scoring to have played less than 1,000 games! Thanks as always my friend.
Dude!!! I am so pumped for you and can’t wait to hang sometime in the future. You are welcome for the card. I told you it wasn’t much but knew you could find a home for it. Keep it up and thanks for including me as part of your hobby!!
Thanks again, Justin! I think I even got your name right the first time. I'm glad you are part of my hobby family and also part of the youtube family. Congrats once again on crossing 50 subs. I can't wait to hang out either! I definitely won't have money for a while!
Agree with all you said about Ash and the Legacy Cardz team. I picked up a nice 55B Aaron SGC 5 from them on Thursday, Just great folks to deal with all around.
You had a legendary show Billy. Congrats again! Let me tell you something, I doubt there are any, but if anyone is upset about your Aaron pickup jubilation they need to get a life. Seeing my fellow card collectors this excited about a once in a lifetime pickup is what it is about! So happy for you!
@The_Cincinnati_Kid Thanks, my friend, I really appreciate that! I did make it pretty obnoxious, though. Most of them I asked them every time I saw them if they'd seen my Hank Aaron yet. Knowing full good and well that they had seen it 75 times and probably 45 minutes earlier.🤣
Glad you had a blast Billy, I'm trying my best to get through all the crap that I'm dealing with, 2023 and 2024 easily the worst years of my entire life
I'm sorry to hear that, my friend. I hope things start heading in a better direction. If you ever need to talk, email me at my email in my channel description.
@@billyballgamesportscards I appreciate it Billy, I'm just having a really hard time, me and wife split up after 19 years, I got in a bad bad wreck 20 months ago, ruined everything
Love your Lemieux and Aaron pickups I’m assuming no Gretzky. I found my perfect fit Gretzky a beautifully centered SGC 6 OPC copy even has the blue lines on back the supposedly first print run. I love it exactly what I was looking for even had some extra cash left and found a great 63 Parkhurst America flag Gordie Howe that I have always wanted bonus. Had a great time and saw a ton of insane stuff.
That's awesome, Tim! Unfortunately, no Gretzky. Really, after the Aaron, I thought I was going to be done and would have been perfectly fine with that. Congrats on your Gretzky. I think I will do my best to add one in the next year or so. Fingers crossed. The show was absolutely amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks, Mark. It was great meeting you as well. I can't wait to see what you scooped up! I'll probably be watching videos from the National for the next 2 weeks and still not get caught up.
