    What’s up Graig, well seeing that beautiful 1955 Jackie Robinson you picked up is going to make me get one ASAP, that’s a beautiful picture of Jackie thanks NY LOU

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks Lou. It's my favorite Jackie card. I've loved it for a really long time.

    OMG, that Teddy 50 Bowman was just out of bounds, a real beauty, congrats ! You got quite the deal on it as well.

    • @MidLifeCards

    My favorite pick up is the Ted Williams. The Bobby Jones and the pirates cards were pretty cool too, though congrats on a great buying month Graig

    • @MidLifeCards

  • @thecapybara1846
    @thecapybara1846 Před 5 měsíci

    The Roger B. with the nice yellow hue on front coupled with the polar bear blue back struck me as the best from a purely aesthetic point of view.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks. The color of the two t206 pickups were definitely what drew me to them.

  • @returntocollecting
    @returntocollecting Před 5 měsíci +2

    Great video Graig! I'm glad that you're showing your cards! Super fun to see how the PC is morphing. Love the Jackie and Ted! The Bresnahan and McGinnity are great looking T206's! I really like the golf cards! Thanks for sharing! I'll submit my favorite pickup of January.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

    @sayhey24 Před 5 měsíci

    Hi Graig,
    I really enjoyed your video today! The Jackie Robinson card is so sweet for you to actually own. And the old time golf card of Gene Sarazen is a reminder of what exists beyond the major sports. And you have a wonderful Walter Hagen card. I must look into vintage golf cards.
    Have a great weekend, and thank you for your excellent presentation.
    Peter

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks Peter. I love vintage golf cards a lot.

  • @chadholt1171

    I like the 51 Williams. The 50 & 51 bowman cards are becoming some of my favorites.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      I love those two sets. And, for some reason, they're VERY affordable.

  • @suobrien2261

    • @MidLifeCards

    @willg.2045 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Wow, you really did some damage this month, Graig. I think my favorite was the Yastrzemski rookie. It was a really good looking 4.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks. I was thrilled with that Yaz. The centering and color are awesome.

  • @DaveEveringham-fq2hw

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Congrats on the Jackie. I absolutely LOVE that card of his!!

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks. I was really happy to get it at that price. The eye appeal is great.

  • @jaredmay8456
    @jaredmay8456 Před 5 měsíci

    Awesome pickups!! I have to admit that I looked up the n19 pirate cards after you showed off yours a while back and jumped down the rabbit hole of learning about pirates lol.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      That's awesome. I love that N19 set from Allen and Ginter.

  • @markdesilva1893
    @markdesilva1893 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Your Jackie Robinson is a beautiful card! The color and centering looks great and seems to me to be more like a 5. I also own that and believe it’s his best looking card. I am also looking to eventually pick up Yaz’s rookie. It’s a relatively affordable card. Thanks again for sharing!

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks so much. Appreciate that. I've wanted both cards for a long time.

  • @Bostnfn
    @Bostnfn Před 5 měsíci

    I love the 51 Williams! I am now saving for a 54 Williams #1 which I think is my favorite Teddy card. I have a big pickup coming for Feb, and would love to enter your February pickups when it comes time! ~Allon

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Awesome!! I love the 54 Williams card!! I usually do my monthly pickups in the first week or so of each month. In that video, I will share the link to enter the Monthly Community Pickups submission form!! :-) Can't wait to see what you go.

  • @stevezeppieri
    @stevezeppieri Před 5 měsíci

    SWEEEEEEET pickups Graig!!! I literally can’t pick a favorite. The Hagan and Williams are absolutely gorgeous tho. Good stuff buddy. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks so much. Appreciate it, Steve.

  • @billyballgamesportscards
    @billyballgamesportscards Před 5 měsíci +2

    Wow, Graig, you killed it this month! There are so many awesome cards! I love them all, but the Williams and Bobby Jones cards are something else. I've never seen that Jones before, and man, is it an amazing card! Congrats.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. I've been selling a lot lately, and I was able to cash in on some great deals.

    • @billyballgamesportscards
      @billyballgamesportscards Před 5 měsíci

      @MidLifeCards I'm thinking about doing a little downsizing to my nongraded collection as well. I live Frank Thomas' 1990 Topps and Score cards, but I don't need 15 of each!

  • @Peacemakercards

    I love the Ted Williams, The Jackie and Yaz cards are on my want list for this year, maybe at the National.

    I was going to rave about your Ted Williams Bowman pickup...and it's a beauty for sure, but I just can't take my eyes off of that T206 McGinnity. The colors and sharpness of that card are mesmerizing.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thanks. I agree on the Mcginnity. The deep red is incredible, and the clarity is perfect. I couldn't resist it.

    • @MidLifeCards

    I'm seeing this video really late, but your 51 Bowman Williams has the same picture as my 50 Bowman Williams! The only difference is yours has clouds in the sky.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 2 měsíci

      Yep. The 50 and 51 Doby and Snider are the same as well. There are a few where Bowman used the same portrait.

  • @larrygitlin6017
    @larrygitlin6017 Před 5 měsíci

    What an incredible big month! The William to me was a bargain but my favorite was McGinnity T206 as I almost picked one up on REA but was outbid. Love that brilliant color background, and the story behind Ironman. My favorite backs are Polar Bears so I pick the Bresnahan second. I wonder if that Picard is related to Jean- Luc ?

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks. Picking up T206 cards are always my favorite ones. But that Ted and Jackie were thrills, too.

  • @jude999
    @jude999 Před 5 měsíci

    That Robinson is insane. Looks like a 9. That Yaz is impossible to get centered.

      Thanks a bunch. I'm thrilled with both pickups.

  • @user-lw2ui3ko3r

      You bought a lot of SGC cards. I love their slabs! I talked a while with the SGC guy at the recent Atlanta Show. He only strengthened my opinion of SGC. I’m all SGC going forward. Never miss one of your posts.

    • @MidLifeCards

    • @MidLifeCards

      Yeah. Hand cut cards are always interesting, and I don't really like the looks of that particular Hagen strip card.

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  Před 5 měsíci

      Yes. I take $100 per month and add it to my "card account"....the rest of the money is from selling other cards.

    Nice work, though, adding interactive content without CZcams. I am actually surprised they allow linking, but I guess they control both products…
