That's what Topps says until you see more pop up graded in NM condition.

I’m thinking about going deep sea diving after this video

The ocean?

They re acknowledged. It’s not Trotsky in Russia. The only place where they aren’t acknowledged is in the “hall of heroes.” But throughout the hall, you’ll come across exhibits to the 75/76 reds which doesn’t ignore Pete Rose. The 88/89/90 A’s which includes the bash brothers. I do however agree with you about players like Fred McGriff. 10 years earlier he would have gotten over 90% of the writers vote. But in the era he played, his contemporaries often were considered better. (McGwire and Palmeiro) but, if you are going to say that those players are ignored. Why did the writers ignore mcgriff too?

PED'S are a non-issue compared to pitchers who use foreign substances to alter the ball or hitters who use an altered bat... One impacts the player themselves and the other impacts a "neutral" playing object.

You have to be brain dead to not see the steroid era is back. The chemist are always ahead of the testers. The HR numbers are as high as ever and no one seems to question how it’s possible.

David Ortiz tested accomplished something Clemons and Bonds couldn’t. He tested positive for PEDs unlike either of those two. The hypocrisy of allowing Ortiz in nd not the others is glaring.

Dale Murphy should be in the hall as well, but that's not happening for some reason. You're right, if the BBWA doesn't want you in the hall, you're not getting in, and they have it in for some of those guys. I can't stand Barry Bonds - he's arrogant, and just doesn't seem like a nice person. But, he deserves to be in the Hall. Steroids or not, you still have to hit the ball, and he was doing that before he started using. Same with Roger Clemens.

Bonds without roids was still great. Not the best hitter of all time like roid Bonds, but still great. Clemens was Bret Saberhagen without roids, but it's hard to say if his new life was due to learning the splitter vs. taking roids. They seem to have happened at about the same time. I say yes to Bonds if he comes clean and no to Clemens because we don't know about his longevity without roids.

As a Braves fan my wife when

Here's the thing Bonds never admitted of using Steroids or even tested positive for Steriods. So they keeping him out of the Hall of Fame all of a theory not facts.

Every decade had its drug , from uppers to coke to roids, so whats the big deal. Baseball uses the players when they need them, then they turn their back on them. Selig is a hipocrite. The homer was great for baseball, it put people in the stands and brought in mucho money. Selig knew what was going on. As far as pete rose goes, everytime you turn around their's another site to gamble on baseball. Enough with the bullshit. I think its time to put the player with the most hrs, hits. Cy awards in the HOF. Another thing that gets me is that sports writers do the voting. If you dont kiss their ass you wont get in. Its a popularity contest. They should have retired ballplayers, coaches , mgrs, and players that are in the HOF do the voting. I'm pretty sure they know more about the game than the sports writers. The HOF IS STARTING TO GET WATERED DOWN ANYWAY. many players that are in dont belong, and many players that belong aren't in.

I'm 40. Lifelong Reds fan. My kids are now 13 and 11. My daughter (13) likes baseball a bit more than my son. Like an increasingly growing number of people, our TV is internet and antenna. Local tv contracts went away, and unless I use a VPN (something I really don't like doing) can't watch Reds games. I've taken them to about 20 games, my brother caught a Joey Votto foul pop with them, and my Dad about four weeks before he died caught a Manny Ramirez(?) home run. We love this. My kids hate baseball on radio (which is my preferred way unless attending), and I can't show them a goddamn Reds game because it's blacked out because of our nearness to Cincinnati. Manferd can make himself a god by addressing this foolishness, hit at the same time, they're not boomers, so as far as far as he's concerned there's no money in it

I believe the thing that actually killed his career, was the idiotic contract Cashman/Steinbrenner gave him guaranteeing him a major league roster spot, and then Jim Bowden drafting him in the Rule V Draft, hard to develop at 21 on 181 plate appearances because you're not ready and can't be sent down to the minors. Nevermind Bowden 's hardon for giant but relatively fast outfielders who can hit BP balls 500'

Stupid idiots paying for cardboard 😆😆😆

They weren't valuable when they were thrown away ...and if they hadn't thrown them away there'd be thousands of them and it'd just be another $25 dollar card from the set so your video really makes no sense at all

They weren’t paying the players multi million dollar salaries in the season until Catfish Hunter broke away from Oakland to sign with the Yanks in 1975, for a measly 3.2 million dollars for 5 years. 640 thousand dollars a year. Denny was probably lucky to be getting paid 35,000 thousand in the 68 season.

The New York media tried to include Ortiz with no actual evidence to ruin Ortiz as revenge for 2004… im a Yankees fan and this is Ortiz slander😂

Not his rookie card

The baseball HOF has always been a popularity contest among some of the least knowledgeable, athletically inclined, neck bearded simps on earth. When you look at the HOF it is FULL of racists, drug users, abusers, and many, many, inductees who were not "best" in any category of baseball stats. Meanwhile, you could make dozens of videos detailing the roster of those who should have been inducted but were not. also, certain franchises are more likely to see players inducted than others. I wonder if that reflects where writers are from? LOL.

True rookie is 51 bowman jackass

I wonder how much mine is it has a piece of the stadium with it

Leaving a dislike for wrong info. His ONLY rookie card is a 1951 Bowman. Every time a new company comes out dose not make a new rookie card.

thank you so much for these thoughtful and well-researched videos! as a new fan who is also interested in economic justice and labor issues, this is exactly the kind of analysis i’ve been looking for. i would love to hear your breakdown of the ongoing struggle within the MLBPA!

You make no mention about the riots in Detroit summer of 1967; and how the 1968 team brought the city back a bit from those bad times! The 1968 Tiger team, one if the very best of all time!

BS Lolich best him three times in the world series!

Am I the only one who thinks that polluting the ocean is the most shocking and disgusting part of the story?

Lou Whitaker, Lou Whitaker, Lou Whitaker.

And all the baby boomers' moms threw theirs in the trash too and that's how they became "RARE". "Collecters" "Investing" Hoarders! Infesting! An infestation of little cardboard men!

I was born July 28 years after Denny McClain won 31 and lost 6, with a 1.96 Era! Even Bob Gibsons 1.12, and Luis Tiant, 1.60, and Sam McDowell 1.81, cannot equal this man did! Plus, for good measure; Denny McClain was 24 and 9, Era 2.80! He threw 336, innings in 68, and 335 innings in 69! 55-15, in two years, and a combined Era of less than 2.41! Whatever this man did off the field does not tarnish his amazing fastball and abilities! So get off his back! As an addendum: he had a lights out fastball, too! God bless you, sir! I hope that I can meet you soon, someday! Joey in Cleveland

1952 topps mantle #311 is now 50m...

Here we are three years later and it keeps getting worse.

If he had never left St Louis we would be talking about probably the home run King, right now although he is still in my opinion one of the greatest right hand if not the greatest right-hand hitter of all time. For me the best hitter I've ever seen in person that's for sure. And we'll go down as my favorite player in history of baseball that I got to witness.

My father had about 10 of these Mantle rookies. He was 9 at the time and that was his prime year of collecting.. Last seen in his grandmother’s attic but when he went back they were gone. Ugh

If you've ever been to a large card show you know these aren't rare.

I think the juiced balls are still used in Yankee stadium.

The problem Bonds,Mcgwire and Sosa had is that they were too good on whatever was enhancing them. They destroyed the most cherished sports record in the USA in the single season homerun record. Bonds does not have the most dominant stretch in MLB history and become the homerun king if he had not cheated. It's a shame the players union and the owners were so far behind on ped testing. If they weren't smashing 60+ and 73 homeruns then nobody would of cases about the ped era.

Yankees broadcast on Amazon Prime every wednesday and its the only day I can't watch games due to regional blackout. Even though I pay for both YES streaming service and Prime. First step, remove the stupid blackouts.

mlb pushed blm nonsense in 2020 and a ton of people I know swore they would never watch another game. Sadly its killing baseball.

Hall Of Shame!!! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Local TV rights are not the biggest money maker, and they never have been. The biggest money maker is capital appreciation. Suppose you buy entity X for 1,000 units. Over a 10 year period, you receive 50 units in revenue, but have 100 units in expenses. Are you losing money? Are you going broke? No. Because over that period the value of the entity has been rising. At the end of 10 years, you sell the entity for 5,000 units. You just made a profit of 3,950 units, counting the net loss in revenue vs expenses. That's how baseball owners get rich, including even the worst, most incompetent owners. And the owners who just don't give a sh#t, like Fisher.

I dont have time for 2 1/2 hour games. I watch you tube high lights. Luckily the mets sick!

It was easier when the mets and yanks put 75 games each on tv and we listened on the radio for the rest.

MLB greed has gotten out of hand.

Icut the cord on crappy cable tv and lost all my baseball. I dont want to pay for all the sick perversion. I want sports and news.

If he signed the initial contract that St. Louis offered him, he probably never reaches 700 HRs. Maybe not even 600. St. Louis did not want to give him a long term contract, and they were right to do so. He probably would have retired in 2017, maybe 2018 at the latest and would more than likely not get picked up by anyone else, or even entertain offers from other teams.

The 1922 World Series also went to eight games, despite being a best-of-seven series. There was one tie game that was ended by rain. Also, 1903 was the first year of the World Series, not of Major League Baseball. The first season of Major League Baseball was the National League's inaugural season of 1876.

No shit. The Hall and the BBWAA and committees are a joke. Ritchie Ashburn in Mattingly not in? Same numbers
