The Life and Career of Willie Wood
zhlédnutí 65Před dnem
The 1963 Topps Fooball set has interested me for quite some time and while I started collecting the cards, it gave me an opportunity to study the players and the teams. One of the more challenging cards to acqire was the rookie card of Willie Wood. I found his career interesting and wanted to share it with you here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_players_with_chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy

    Hello Im John and thank you for the best story on Brushy Bill Roberts.My family was tied to The Kid. In Pat Garrets Book the Real true life of BTK. And shortly after a movie of The Kid Time Life Magazine did an article on 8 / 4 /1941 Where they Interviewed my Family . I not only have prominance . But i have Very convincing proof that Brushy Bill knew something that proved his identity beyond the shadow of a doubt. My uncle started a family tree and spent 55 yrs doing research on our family tree. They came here in 1576 the BTK tie to my family is a small part of a story i have put into book form. It has not been published as of yet. But im close. Thi info i have on BTK will answer once and for all Brushy Bill was in fact BTK. Thank you. John

      John, thank you for your comments. If or when you do publish, I'd like to read your book and findings. It's a really interesting story that Brushy Bill tells and as I've said before, the official narrative has a few swiss cheese holes in it and gets a little confusing. I'm okay if they find out Brushy Bill wasn't Billy the Kid, but then it opens up for more questions as to how he knew details not known to historians until after his passing? Either he knew a regulator, was family to one or he was in the area at the time? Or he really was Billy the Kid, but a DNA test I think may solve this?

      How sad is that, abd nothing is sacred. What this does is deprive the public of seeing and learning from these items. It was just such an a-hole thing to do, abd for the little monetary amount it was a complete waste. You could probably make $12 grand buying and selling sports cards easier.

    Howdy Ryan ! Nice Show, sad subject. Thieves. And this is why I would not donate any collectables to anyone or any Hall.

  • @GarrettAffeldt-cj9sd

    WOW! I had no idea that Pat Garrett was never paid the bounty on Billy The Kid's head? Wouldn't that be an automatic considering the risk involved not to mention the trouble involved in setting something like that up? Just for starters you didn't have cars to wisk yourself around in and anybody who's been in the desert Southwest knows that the distances between points in most cases can be vast. If someone went through that much risk and effort to get one of the most dangerous men alive at that time their not doing it for free! Not to mention according to history Billy and Garrett were said to be friends at one point so who's to say Garrett wasn't trying to give his buddy a fresh start. I don't see a serious and dangerous character in his own right simply not getting paid for something as monumental as bringing down a big name like The Kid. Also history shows after a gun battle the photographer's were all over it (Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin ect.) and I've never seen a pic of The Kid come to think of it. This sheds a new light on things for myself personally. No pic and no bounty paid?

    If you really think about it , brushy had nothing to gain except a pardon , fame wasnt really that much of a motivation to a man in a small town in the middle of nowhere .

Its just almost completely impossible but this may be the exception to the rule and a fluke of history . Cause i found evidence he did live .

      What's interesting about this, why would someone, especially in advanced age ask for a pardon for a murder if he didn't commit one? Murder is always on the books. Brushy Bill certainly took a chance showing up not knowing if he'd be arrested.

      Unfortunately I only got to see Mike Schmidt during the 1983 World Series and was only able to follow his career though baseball cards and Beckett Monthly so I never got know just how good he was game to game. I would say he's probably top 3 by stats alone. In fact I did purchase a Schmidt rookie not long ago, and it wasn't as expensive as I thought it should have been or may have been during his career. I wonder when we say "the best ever", is that generational too?

  • @storiesincardboard9420

    Interesting info. I've never liked the set for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. Plus I never saw them when I first started collecting and I'm not sure I have ever seen one in person. The only one I have ever thought about buying is the Hubbell. The short prints are interesting. I wonder if Goudey had some contract issues? Lots of obscure players in the set. What year did Goudey sell his company? He stayed on the board or something after selling didn't he?

    • @historythroughcards-shortc814
      @historythroughcards-shortc814 Před 14 dny

      The number of relatively obscure players in this set is intriguing. Most might not have been when this set was issued. My theory may be that Goudey, Gum, Inc. and Gum Products, Inc didn't have to follow the Privacy Statute of 1903 since in only applied to New York, and therefore, there was no requirement for these companies not based in New York to have player's sign a contract for their image to be made public on a card. It's just a theory right now, but I've never seen a contract from any of these companies from 1941. I think the only time this may have been an issue is when a player sued the company over right of privacy as Johnny Mize did. He ended up losing his case as the second judge didn't believe he had a right to privacy being an "entertainer". So Enos Gordon Goudey retired in 1931 or 1932 but remained on the board of directors until his passing in 1946. The company's Treasurer, Harold C. Delong wasn't with Goudey either, having set up his business as it looks like 1929. It looks like he still may have had a say in the 1934 Goudey design. I wrote down, or at least tried to connect the dots and form a timeline of who owned Goudey and when? It's still a work in progress but it looks like one of the guys who founded National Chicle sometime in 1932-33 and then a guy named Devlin in 1934 and one of these guys initially replaced Harold C. Delong in 1929. I believe the company was sold in 1939 but I haven't found definitive proof as to who or the exact date?

      Mike Schmidt was a tremendous player but I'm thinking that "the best" players at their positions depends on the era in which they played. My top three 3rd Baseman would be: Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt and Pie Traynor. Topps high number series and player selection between 1965 and 1968 are interesting. They can be quite challenging. I also believe that the 67 Brooks may be easier to find today because of ebay.

    I was so happy to hear that Negro League stats were added to the record books. In my mind it was long overdue, and should have been done (at least as well as could have been researched back then) when the other leagues were added in 1969. From what I was reading, the research team was able to find a vast majority of the stats from the 1920’s, but because of the Great Depression stats were not kept track of as much during that time period. Then afterwards stats weren’t kept track of to the extent that they were in the 1920’s. But the research teams estimates that they have about 70% of the stats from the Negro Leagues. That’s quite a large percentage of statistics that they were able to discover. It will be interesting to see what additional stats they are able to discover in the years to come, and how they will impact the record books. I enjoyed learning about Artie Wilson. I was unfamiliar with him, but it is interesting to think that he could be the most recent player to have hit .400. The only set that I am familiar with that Wilson has a card in is the 1952 Mother’s Cookies PCL set. Mostly cause Chuck Connors has a card in that set. Have a great week!

I do miss the back n forth with fellow enthusiasts, but I definitely get alot more work done by not using on YT. Just thinking and typing out this message is 20 minutes gone. Ha ! No lie. When doing my autograph Show I have no real rhyme or reason on the player I pick, they all seem connected and pretty much pick themselves and I go from there. One thing leads to another, and I end up starting to work on a "new" Show. I usually have a theme until something interrupts it. I was doing Old-timey players for awhile, then MLB Opening Day Shows. Lately it's been players who are still alive. Sometimes I find that player on my list of Shows to do & try to crank those Shows out asap. The chances of the player or his family seeing my little tribute are slim. But like you, I do it to keep the conversation going about these men who, most fought in wars, and even if they didn't standout in their sport, they deserve to be talked about. Like Jim Melton, I couldn't find much info, he served, but it doesn't say what branch. He never played in the Majors, has no Card, and I could not find a good personal story from him, or about him. Those are my 3 "rules" for doing a Show on a player, and he didn't satisfy any. But the reason Jim squeaks in and gets his own Show is because, he is still alive, and he tyes in with my upcoming Dave Hoskins episode on June 9th. Dave integrated 2 Leagues in Texas and both Jim & Dave pitched in that league in 1952. I love to hear stories from Minor League players who were in the Bigs for a few, or close to the Bigs, and came out of it with great stories about the Legends they got to play with. Jim Melton played with some really good players. Roger Maris & Dave McNally were just two. Sorry to bore you with my process. Sometimes when writing messages I forget I'm on your channel and not mine. I use my channel as a journal for my family. That's why my messages are long winded. Keep up the Great work, there's not many doing what you do. C ya !

Brushy could not name pat garrett at gov mansion, he called pete maxwell “sam” he called billy bonney “ him” pat garretts children would not even question him thinking hes a phony,now about his 26 scars thats nice but billy bonney had 2 he was shot fleeing mcsween burning house and shot retrieving his rifle from dead brady , brushy said he was shot by garrett and his deputies in the head the neck the jaw. Photos of brushy show no scars , no one in sumner ever reoported a gunfight , there never was a joe hines in any florida census from 1890- 1950, william morrison was NOT an attorney , he sold car parts , and copy machine parts , brushy bill has been debunked , demolished, destroyed by all historians , brushy dan edwards is just selling books and photos and pushing a blasphemous narrative

      Garret was only able to collect the reward through a special act from the legislature which I think wouldnt have been a normal thing in the 1880's if there was proof of death such as a photo? Today I would want DNA evidence and a body to prove the person in that grave - wherever it is - because all these people's "testimony" and recounting appeared to be inconsistent over the decades. I think this is a really interesting topic that deserves more scrutiny and conversation.

    11:15 if time is short. Of course it's a short print, but that alone doesn't explain the prices. It seems like a very long time for anyone to hoard a big pile of this card.

    When you take into account that one of the guys with Garrett the night that he supposedly shot Billy said and I quoute " thats not the kid " so make of that what you will.

      Poe wrote that he initially thought that Garrett had shot the wrong man but soon realized that it was Billy the Kid when the body on the floor was looked at by candlelight by Pete Maxwell and a few other people who gathered up at the scene. I am not sure why the Brushy Bill Believers try to keep pushing that one statement, leaving off the rest of the statement.
