    What do you think @mrjmangini thinks of my thumbnail?

    Enjoyed it. I love the tip of the hat to the modern era (Jordan SP, Maddox RR) but would go more vintage on those 2.

      I considered leaving Maddux out but not the Jordan. Too much nostalgia for me.

    You voted NO to the Cal Ripken Jr. Charlotte Os orange card? Just wait until Chris Sewell finds out!

    I just don't know enough about vintage baseball cards. I could probably tell you the greats from the 50's rc's, I think Gibson was 59? Clemente 56? Aaron 54? Mays was 51? Mantle 51/52. I think Paige was 48? Kofax was 56? I don't know much about the early 60's baseball. I know Carew, Bench, Ryan, and Jackson are late 60's. Same with the 70's I can point out a Dave Winfield or Eddie Murray rookie, but couldn't tell you the year. I'm familiar with Ozzie, Young, Brett's RC. I know more from the 80's since it was my childhood.. I just don't know enough to have an opinion. I'm sure all the cards that I know are already in. My vote goes to the 1935 Lou Gehrig wheaties box card. It's low pop and started the craze of putting athletes on wheaties boxes.

    It'll be hard with some of these picks because many of the greats already have a few in and with the max of 5 of any player, votes are precious. I see the hall of fame as iconic cards with several here that many have never heard of so hard to be iconic. My votes were very different for that reason

    • @JunkWaxHero

      I somehow missed the rule about a max of 5 of any player! That’s a wild rule and makes voting really difficult.

      @JunkWaxHero yeah he mentioned it in his video with Chris. He didn't want it to be one sided towards a single player. He did say that he's been thinking of upping it to 8 since several players have a ton of great cards ( mantle, Williams, etc).

    How in the hell did the 1988 Donruss Gregg Jefferies not make the cut? Junk wax hero means you're supposed to represent that era 😆 Todd Van Poppel would also like a word with you.

    • @JunkWaxHero
      @JunkWaxHero  Před měsícem +1

      Honestly, if the Jefferies had been a candidate I would’ve voted for it. Van Poppel wouldn’t have gotten my vote though.

    Hi Mike, I would pull the Maddox rookie and replace it with the 57 Topps Brooks Robinson. Thanks for the video.

    Great selections, Mike. I also voted for the Jordan Upper Deck, Walter Johnson Portrait, and Ted Williams 1941 Play Ball. But hope you are able to find the 41' Williams PlayBall, one to your liking, at the National!

    The Chpper should go in because it is the Desert Shield card - replace the Maddux
    I also love the 33 Jimmie Foxx

    Mike… ok… we need to talk.
    Here is how I recommend you vote.
    First, all Yankees. You know you want to. Next, the 34 Hank Greenberg, as it mentions Lou Gehrig on it.
    After that, you have to put in Tom Seaver.
    Finally, I guess you can include a Ted Williams if you must….
    Seriously, I was a few off from you. Of course, The Mantle and Mariano are a must.
