I don’t know what is more impressive and enjoyable: - your stories - your research and info - your collection - your passion for each and every card All of the above
I’m a closet Phillie phan from state of Washington. I collected cards in the late 50s and early 60s. Not sure if it was because I loved the red pinstripe uniforms or whether it was because Richie Ashburn and my Dad were born on the exact same day in 1927. Love your channel. Well produced and narrated. Best wishes.
Hi, I meant to comment last week when I watched this video but I was busy at the moment. I enjoyed your story telling. It put me right there with you, and I was thrilled when you got the card. Thanks for taking the time to share. These are my favorite kind of videos. A true collector that enjoys the hobby. Take care, Terry
“My pal Smoky was saved from this icy slabbed hell.” This is gold! And I loved the story of your interaction with that dealer and how he made you promise not to sell it and to pass it down to your son. Brought a smile to my face.
That was an excellent informative video showcasing that famous1952 Topps set. really nice work narrating this video which teaches a lot about the history of this set.
Absolutely awesome video! Hope to see more! I have a similar story with a 2001 Bowman Heritage Chase Utley rookie I was desperately looking for. Not because I was a Phillie fan. Just a set builder. It too was gifted to me from giving the dealer a helping hand.
The closest comparison to a modern day player would be the 1985 Fleer Update Darren Daulton. Update is the closest thing to high number in the 80s. And like Smoky, had limited playing time throughout most of his career. Having said that, I doubt 40 years from now someone will be super excited for that 1985 Fleer Update like you were for Smoky Burgess that day. Such is the glut of modern sports cards
