Thank you for watching my friend!

Hi Terry! Snider was your third? haha. How old were you when you got the 65 Mantle? I was surprised my first Mantle was not the 1964 Topps Giants card, but for some reason I never bought it. Love the Brooks! I am really happy I worked on that 1957 set, Its a good looking set. Ashish sold me that card. Was sorry to hear what happened to him this weekend at Dallas. He's a nice guy. Sometimes on purpose I try not to show a Dodger card and after I read your comment, I said wow, I didn't show a Dodger card. Then I forgot I showed the 55 Koufax for the umpteenth time. hahahah. 55 vs 63 Koufax for my favorite. Thank you for watching, Terry!

Thank you, Mark. I need to comment on y6our last video. Your Dodger collection is killing it!

Thanks Jesse! We have the Duke in common. That Bowman is a nice card. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for watching!

And the first National was so tiny, Mike! Times sure have changed. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

Good point about being set collectors, but after 1984, I have five sets from 40 years of cards. I only have Dodger team sets for those years. Do you have complete sets after 1990? Are you going to The National? Bet you find a 57 Brooks there.

@@RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector yes, I have complete sets up to the current year. I won't be at national.

@@the_card_closet You're also organized which I like. Your card room is immaculate.

Thanks so much, Xavier!

Thank you, David!

Thanks Rob! I wonder how long it will take me to buy another 100 graded cards?

Rick, you likely already have 100 ungraded cards in your impressive collection that could get slabbed any time you want! Have a great weekend.

@@BaseballTimeTraveler You too, my friend!

Thanks Scott! We'll see if I ever take the plunge buying that Tom Seaver RC. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Terry! 1963 is a great set. I like the logos on the card, but I also like the photos. I kinda wish the smaller images had been nicer so I know where you're coming from on using the logos instead. IMO 1963 set is the second nicest design of the 60s after 1965. Dean Chance was roomed on the road with Bo Belinksky as they were unseperable in the early days of the Angels. Angel management felt if they were roomed together, they'd one have one "problem room" as opposed to two. hahaha. The guy was a very good pitcher early in his career. Regarding the Dodgers being special, The Koufax is my favorite of his is my favorite for the reasons you mentioned. NL MVP, Cy Young Award, WS MVP, Set the strikeout record for one WS game. Love the Drysdale and Alston cards. Love the WS cards for the 1964 set. The Dodger cards were special back then for me. Dave and Adam's, I looked them up after we spoke and realized I had bookmarked them ages ago. I found the card but took too long thinking about it. At least I know now that I can look them up for other cards. They don't charge sales tax. So happy the 63 set is done. On to 1968! Have a good week, Terry!

Man those last 15 can be costly, but when you're done it'll look amazing. Do you have the Rose RC? I was lucky and bought that several years ago or else it would've taken a lot longer to complete. Thanks for watching!

63 is a great looking set indeed. The set took me 10 months to complete. I did have the Dodgers team set, Pete Rose RC and about 30 other cards for several years. Would have taken longer but I had the Rose and Koufax. Thanks for watching!

Love the Koufax. Absolutely love it. I was the only person who bid on that card. I was stunned when I won it. Sigh, Ken McMullen. I'm actually glad the Rose is on that card now. Back then when I bought it, I was pissed! LOL! Thanks for watching, Mark!

It's about time I found the Clemente, Mike. I'm always just relieved when a set is complete. For 1968, I still need six more cards and your man, Clemente is one of the guys, so my work isn't done! Thanks for watching, Mike!

Thank you, Peter!

Thank you, Xavier and thank you for watching!

Totally agree on whatever decade you grew up in, it was the best. Thanks so much for watching, Xavier.

Thanks Mike!

Thank you!!

Thanks! Since since Bronny was a low second round pick, I am okay with it. If they had spent a first on him, I would have been livid.

Yeah, there is always some strange card that no one can ever find. I remember 1973 was a Cardinals player was a guy named Bob Fenwick. He was a major issue to find. Damn, Mets fans are also buying the Rose? That for me was the one major issue of building team sets. The infamous RC of some other guy!

How on earth did I say ROY?? Hahaha. Thanks for letting me know.

I am still extremely confused by the entire series number situation. In 1961, the high numbers are 523-589, but series 7 is 507-589. Shouldn't that make 507-522 high numbers? It's never acknowledged in card land. Combo cards are so cool. Even if they're players I don't know, I still enjoy them. The one thing I failed to mention was that it wasn't really an issue buying the highs or semi high's. It not like 1961, 66 or 67 which are famous for being expensive. Thanks for watching!

From 1958-1966, Topps' checklist series rarely aligned with their printing series. (I'm not sure about the later 1960s.) I've only read one really incisive article about this. My own opinion is this: Except for the high series, each series was released with the checklist for the next series also included. But only a portion of the cards in that succeeding series were actually available the way Topps printed the sheets. This most likely whetted the kids' appetites for what was coming up and kept them buying.

@@michaelyoung7974 yeah, I think your conclusion is correct. You wouldn't happen to have a link this article? This subject is something that has always bugged me as a vintage collector.

Gosh, Rick, I read it way back, and I can't remember. I think it was Net 54 or Blowout. You might try to play around with a search for "checklists" on one of them.

@@michaelyoung7974 I had a feeling it was ages ago. hahaha, no worries.

Hello my friend!. Thank you!

Steve, I always forget the Glendora part of your life. I was there yesterday visiting my mom. I wonder what happened to the local toy store you mentioned? 71 I barely remember, but what I do, was an incredible memory. I'd like to do more research on where particular Dodgers/Giants series where Giants reliever Jerry Johnson actually tried to start a fight with the umps and and had to be wrestled to the ground my his own teammates! Those were the days! You're right, we had the same memories and they were the best of times. Give me 30 cents and I'll come back with a candy bar, a coke and a pack of cards for you. HAHAHA. Thanks for watching, Steve!

I would love to hear people's experiences from their respective decades, because yeah, everyone's decade is the best. The 90's had a lot of wax. How did you decide what to buy? So many choices. I was buying hockey in the 90s and even that sport had a lot of cards. Thanks for watching, Mike!

CHRIS! I remember in the late 70s/early 80's if we saw cards from the 50's, we thought they were ancient. In reality they were only 20-30 years. Now 20-30 years gets me in the 1994-2004 range. Just doesn't sound the same! Thanks for watching, my friend!

I just don't pay enough attention to my 70's cards and I should!

Thanks Terry! Looking at my 70s cards is definitely a look into my past. So many memories of players and cards that I bought in those days. I never understood the football issue until you just brought it up. How awful it was to wait a full year for a RC. The 74 set is nice. I really think it's a great set. 1972 to this day I view as a beast. I don't know how I ever completed that set. I wouldn't want to do it again with all those semi-high and high numbers. I can't imagine the cost now. I wonder how much the Morgan will set you back? Always appreciate the kind words. I hope your son does well this weekend! Happy Fathers Day to you!

Isn't it neat that we can all identify with our respective decades? Card collecting was the best in those era's. The excitement of opening packs....nothing like. it. Thanks for watching, Mark!

Mark, my group was nowhere near as smart as yours. We had no recon man. At least you did! I think in 1973 I was on my own collecting wise. In 1974, I had friends who I went to the store with. I wish I could have seen the sprint of 20 bikes. Now I would think of the poor store owner's face when you all shows up. HAHAHA! It was a great era to be a kid for sure! This Week in Baseball was the only way we could even watch video back then. I used to love that show.You are so right about the All Star Game. I used to love the player introductions and how excited I would get when a Dodger player was announced. I wouldn't miss that game for anything back then. Now I never watch. Too high production for me. Loved your comments. Brought a smile to my face that someone understood that era. Thanks for watching!

@@RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector no Rick thank YOU for bringing back so many fond memories.

Thanks Mike. By the time I saw Rico play, he was now on the Rangers. Would love to have seen him play. Catfish was a great pitcher. The A's had a great rotation back then. Have a great weekend too!

And hello my friend from Long Beach, California USA! Enjoy your week!

Thank you, my friend. We both won on this one!

HAHAHA, I used to watch your videos when you were making them!

You're the man, Levon. Thank you for letting me hang with you. Quite a display of cards you always bring with you!

@@RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector Anytime brother!

Cards can be pricey. I will say that.

Thanks Terry. A deal that took awhile to complete, but I was in no hurry. I was happy with the deal I made. In this case, it was the bigger the better, The Yogi is a great card. I'll never get his RC, but this one is good for me. Yeah, that was you and the Fain. It's a great card. Yeah, the A's had some nice uni's back then. I even like their last uniform in 62 before the green and yellow came around. Looking at a Clemente now, If it's still available in a week, maybe I'll get it. Thanks for watching, Terry!

Mike, we completed the deal on Yogi a little after you left. I was happy with it. You SCORED yesterday. You walked out of there with some great stuff. That's right, The Mays and Mantle WS card from Bob. That was deal I couldn't remember. I need to meetup with Paul. He and his wife had a nice table of cards. Look for me in Burbank. I think that's my next local show. I went to Newport today for about a half hour. I don't think you would have cared for it compared to Long Beach. Talk soon!

Thanks Jake. It unofficially official on the 1950 set. I assume you've built this one?

I’m currently building it. I’m at 153/252 = 60.7%, with 22 cards incoming. I don’t have a card that’s worth more than $100 left to go though- I’ve got Jackie, Ted, Yogi, etc. from this one!

@@LegendsNeverDieCollection of the big cards I need Ted, Doby and Spahn. You're getting close! Do you have this set in a binder? I'm still debating how to stores them.

Very nice! I do, I’ve got all my vintage sets (except T206) in a binder 👍🏻

There are a lot DS Rick Ferrell's out there, but I got a very good deal on this one. Love the Yogi. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Mike. That Managers Dream card, I was working on the 1968 set as a kid. Got maybe 75% of the set completed back then but I knew I'd have to buy that Clemente card and it was expensive in my 15 year old brain. Happy I finally got one. I could have had a Clemente video about a week ago but I took too long in making a decision and someone bought it. UGH!! Soon! I am going to tag you when I do buy one. hahaha. Yeah, spending money at shows. Some people easily throw down several hundred dollar bills on the table, walk away and then do the same thing at another table. I buy several big cards a year and when I do, I really sit there and have to think about it. In this case, I had been thinking about the card a few weeks, but I still wanted to wait another week. Then he showed me the 50 bowman cards he had just bought and I think maybe we can make a bigger deal. That really helped. You know card collecting is a crazy world! Thank you so much for watching. I hope you're having a good Saturday and still laughing that your Pirates made my Dodgers look bad this week.

Haha I can’t believe Jones shut them out the way he did. Buccos have some talent just need more haha! Glad the bigger deal worked out. I’m saving a little by little each money putting away for a Clemente rookie. I may be sick to my stomach when I part with that kinda money but will also be floating on cloud 9. It’s always a catch 22.

Drew, I was thinking of your comment from my last video "any day at a card show is a good day" and I totally agree. I didn't feel like buying a lot of cards so I just sat at Levon's table for a couple of hours and eventually we were able to create a deal. Was fun! That Jackie of yours is SWEET! You have a keen eye. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

Thank you!

Thanks Mike. I know this is far for you, but I think you'd like this show. I didn't know Garcia was from San Gabriel until I looked him up one day on Wikipedia. Had a nice career. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
