Orlando, Wow! I can hear the emotion in your voice and I want to reach through and give you a hug. You don't have to explain anything to nobody. It is your business how you collect and we all collect differently to a degree and that is the beauty of it. I think you are one of the kindest, most gentle souls in this community and I think a lot of other CZcamsr's feel the same. You will never please everyone. Thank you for sharing your great pickups from Strongsville and connecting with people has a higher value than the cards we have in our collections. So glad you had a great time at the show and keep up the great content, God Bless and take care 🙏 👍
Hey commenters, Orlando is a great dude, nicest guy you will meet! Keep the comments positive, he is making these videos for nothing! Orlando, you don’t need to explain yourself, your videos are awesome!
Beautiful cards and amazing story telling Orlando. You have supported me and my hobby journey since before I even started my channel. I am truly grateful for your friendship and for all of the support you have given me. You are without question, one of a kind my friend. I am already getting excited for the next time we can get together.
Thank you Orlando for taking the time to film and publish your videos. These efforts of yours, and other you tubers, allow those of us who did not make it to the show a chance to see and hear all of you having a great time. And thanks for all of the other videos you produce. I appreciate and enjoy the postings.
This is Dave, I was working with Tim Payne this weekend. Highlight of my trip was meeting Don just after the Beecher purchase. The impact that card had with him was immeasurable! He was so excited, I will never forget it! Collectors like you and Don are what makes this hobby so much fun, look forward to seeing you again!
Thus was a wonderful video Orlando! I'm so glad I stopped and met you on the show floor at Strongsville. You are so kind and have great passion for the hobby. I picked up my very first T206 and love it! Also grabbed the Topps '66 Mantle on my way out. Again... a pleasure meeting you.
Orlando you are one of my absolute favorite people on here because i love your personality and passion for our great hobby. I can tell how much this show and meeting up with friends meant to you. You are loved my friend!!! Thank you for always being real with us all. I cant wait to meet you at a show and give ya a big hug. I would love to make it down there to Florida and meet up. I will also be in Cleveland.
While I have never met you Orlando, I feel like I know you and consider you a friend through CZcams. You are a sincere and genuine man. I am 44 years old and never really collected vintage until I found your channel a year ago. I watch every video you post. Thank you for what you do. I like hearing the knowledge of these players and the history of your collection. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Keep being you Orlando. You’re genuine and one of a kind.
I’m so glad we were able to introduce ourselves at Strongsville. You’re a special guy, and someone that I’m sure all of us look up to in many ways. Was awesome getting to chat for a bit and check out the show. You are certainly right, these memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for being the person you are, we could all use a few more Orlando’s in our lives ! Fantastic Cobb too. I picked up a Polar Bear tee shirt also at the show. Very good choices. Take care my friend !
Great cards Orlando, and a great video. When I think of true collectors in this community, yours is one of the first names that comes to mind. You're everything that's good about this community, and I hope you have many many more years of collecting and making content.
Orlando, you are one of the nicest guys I know. It was an absolute pleasure spending time with you in Strongsville. I love your videos. You don't need to explain your purchases to anyone. The vast majority of collectors (including the doofuses who try to flex in the comments) hold your collection in the highest regard. If someone wants to watch your videos slower, they can play it at .5 or .25 speed. Not your job to slow it down for them. You take your time out of the show, that you can be spending with vendors and friends, to make your card show videos. That is more than you need to do!! I really appreciate all that you do for the community, but I especially appreciate our friendship.
I listened to your heartfelt video and read all the comments. It makes me so happy to see you following your passion, and how loved you are by all. You are a walking encyclopedia and a true historian of the sport. You don’t need fancy videos, or to change anything for anyone because you are perfect just as you are - one of the kindest, most wonderful souls in this world. I love you more than you’ll ever know and am truly blessed to have you as my brother. It was so much fun going with you to the Lyric Theatre to see Never Drop the Ball. I’m sorry I didn’t realize you needed help while videoing because for sure I would have helped you. Anyways, loved hanging with you today at moms!❤
Orlando, it has been a blessing meeting you and knowing you as a friend. It really is the most important thing that comes out of this great hobby of ours. I’m glad you had a wonderful experience and made memories that you will treasure forever. This really is a special group of guys that share a common interest. I appreciate all you do and for sharing what is on your mind and heart. Congrats on the awesome pickups. Take care my friend..God bless
Orlando, I really appreciate you sharing some of your emotion with us, my collecting brother! The RED and the eye-popping image clarity on your RED Cobb! WOW, WOW, WOW! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 And I love the perfect Polar Bear back! If a collector were to pick only one Cobb, you totally nailed it! So happy for you! Epic pickups and an epic time with friends! 😊👊
I was so pleased to have finally meet you and I was not disappointed. Your acquisitions are awesome , I especially like your e120 Johnson and your Cobb portrait with a beautiful Polar Bear back. Congratulations !!
My brother your passionate like me and you can hear it in your voice, your one of my best friends that I’ve have met in person and in this hobby so thanks for everything NY LOU
Hey Orlando I had a blast seeing you again in Strongsville! Your smile and love of the hobby is so infectious my friend. Thanks for helping choose which 69 Mantle to buy, if anyone knows Mantles it is you. There were a lot of big boy cards purchased this weekend but your Cobb was my favorite of all…wow is that an amazing card! Take care!
I love all your videos, but this one was your best. Thank you for being who you are all the time. I look forward to meeting you in person one day at a show and shake your hand. You are truly the best of them. Thanks again and all the best, Ronnie
You got that right! I’ve been looking for a nice one for many years. Seems like I’ve seen hundreds over the years. This one jumped out of the dealer’s case, had to get it. I’m ecstatic!
Great video Orlando. Loved meeting you at the Strongsville show and getting to see your Cobb at the CZcams gathering was awesome. Your eye for cards and your passion for the hobby are to be admired. I wish I had bought that Kelly from you. That card is beautiful and your Goodwin set is AMAZING. Hope to see you again at the National. Cheers!
Thank you David for the kind comments. Much appreciated. I was hesitant about selling it, was my favorite card from the set. First card I purchased that got me into the set. After luckily meeting dealer Ash at the buffet breakfast, I had to give him a shot at it. He made me a good offer, sold it to get my Red Cobb. I do have a higher grade Kelly. Stay in touch my friend.
I am so happy for you, my friend. You truly care for the hobby and the people in it. You are as authentic as they come, and it was great to finally meet you in person. I am honored to have held that absolutely beautiful Cobb in my hands for a moment. Amazing pick up for you!
Hi Orlando, I do appreciate all your videos. I did not go to Strongsville and you helped me be there by showing all those amazing cards at the dealer tables. I also loved that you did video of the guys and again help me imagine what it was like talking to all of them. That is an amazing Cobb card you bought. Such a bright copy and a PB back to boot. Orlando, keep up the great work you do for the hobby just by being yourself. God bless. Peter B
ASH is a good dude met him a few times in NY and Las Vegas, made some great deals with him like picking up my 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie from him. Yes very nice guy and amazing cards he has to sell one of the best dealers, so glad you and him had a chance to chat about life NY Lou
I loved all your Strongsville content- thanks for sharing. I'm glad it was one of the times of your life. For that reason, I'm sorry to have missed it. However, from my perspective, looking at the brightside, you have at least one more friend in me (and I'm sure many more) that our meeting is still to come. So, there's still even more great times in store as I'm looking forward to that day! In the meantime, as always, Good Collecting 👍👍💗💗
Your filming showcases is fantastic and the speed you go at is solid and doesn’t need changing. Also for anyone who may not know, you can easily slow videos down in the CZcams settings and see prices that way. No need for Orlando to change anything, the options are in the settings to view at whatever pace you like thanks for sharing!
I know I texted you already but just wanted to say again how much I appreciate and enjoy watching the passion you have for the community, cards and hobby burst through! So awesome Orlando!
Orlando, it is very evident how you value people. I appreciated your thoughts and sharing. I also picked up my first Chico Carrasquel, based in no small part, upon your stories of, and passion for Latin baseball.
Dude, you're an absolute legend. Don't worry about the nuances of the videos, they're all great and above all else, super thoughtful and kind. Much love and respect from TX.
Some nice pickups Orlando! Wasn't really familiar with this show...but now that I know, some future visits to this amazing show are in store for me! Congrats on the beautiful Cobb pickup! Looking forward to the National, and hopefully meeting you and some other youtubers as well. Congrats once again!
Orlando…thank you for sharing your feelings on the Strongsville show as well as the cards you purchased and sold. It makes perfect sense that you would have heightened feelings about the two cards you sold as they represent a lifetime’s worth of time dedicated to your passion. Those cards will always represent your legacy and will be celebrated by you and your family for all time. Congratulations on a great show and thank you for sharing with us. You are truly a ‘man of the people’. 💪🏽🙏
Gave a video like as always - Awesome pickups. The Cobb is beyond words amazing. The Walter Johnson looks terrific. The OPC Mantle is really cool. I agree, looks pack fresh! Love that '53 Bowman Campy, great photo of him. The team cards are really special as well. It was such a blessing getting to meet you at the show. Look forward to seeing you again at the National.
Orlando, first time seeing your channel. I’ve heard your name through the community and regret it took this long to watch a video. Strongsville was a great show & you had some incredible pickups. Looking forward to watching more of your content!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Your collection is amazing. You can hear the emotion in your voice. That is what this hobby should be about, people and relationships. The cards bring us all together, but the relationships are the most important part. I hope to shake hands with you some day!
Hey Orlando, these are awesome pickups! Love the mantle and campy. I am looking for a Fatima card as well. Congrats on the Red Cobb. Orlando you have a fantastic collection and you are a fantastic fantastic person. I so wish I could of made it. My son had a out of state baseball tournament which he did well at. But i'm looking forward to meeting you some day. Great pickups my friend!
❤ Great additions to your collection, Orlando! Those Fatimas are beautiful! The Washington card also features another early Cuban player, Merito Acosta! Congrats on the amazing Cobb! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, my friend!
Orlando, I can hear the hurt and emotional discussion on someone who you consider a friend that commented your lack of seriousness on collecting based on your budget. Remember this always. You collection for you and you only. You've been at this now for decades. You've been there done that both as a dealer and collector. Your not addicted to spending or unreasonable spending on the passion you luv congratulations, most don't have that disaplent they need help you don't. Don't apologize or try and prove anything those who respect you ride with you no matter what, I respect and understand.
Wonderful video Orlando and amazing pickups. I am still in awe of how gorgeous that Cobb is. I really enjoyed the time we spent talking at the show! Hope to see you again at the National!
Hi Orlando. Rick is a great guy. I wouldn't change a thing you do my friend, love watching your footage. It is not easy what you do. All you guys who film at shows do an amazing job, knowing how difficult it can be. Thanks my friend for taking the time to show us. You are truly a good man, and it's no wonder everyone gravitates to you my friend. AWESOME pickups my friend. Both the Cobb and Johnson are superb. Thanks for the great weekend my friend, talk soon pal.
I appreciate that Stephan, you’re an awesome guy also. Definitely need to spend more time together next time. Congrats on your Jackie grail card, it’s beautiful!
Hi Orlando, Thank you for your excellent video of your pickups from the Strongsville show. I really appreciate your E120 card from the America Caramel set! Have a great day, Peter
Orlando I’m strictly a Vintage Cubs Collector, but after watching all your videos, but specifically the Goodwin videos I had to pick up a few. I know I will never complete the set but I just loved how great your cards looked. Thanks for sharing, a true collector get emotional at times weather picking up a new card they were chasing or letting a card go that was in there collection for a long time.
Great pickups. I collect Fatimas and love them. Also have a T206 Red Cobb Polar Bear back but a 1.5 SGC. Got it for my 70th birthday 6 years ago Yours is magnificent! Just won a 1946 Propaganda Montiel #6 Jack Johnson on REA auctions. I started looking at Cuban cards because of your videos so this is my first. Anyway fantastic cards!
What great pick ups my friend. As far as the comments, you will always have people that will have something to say. You don’t owe anyone any explanations. People that know you or have seen your videos know the kind hearted person you are. God bless you my friend.
Orlando, your #13 Bresnahan is on my list, I'd be interested in that card if you're selling? Nice Campy, Mantle, Johnson, Cobb! I enjoy your passion in collecting. One of my favorite videos of yours; your visit to the baseball field at Dorsey Park.
Shoot, the heck with the dude talking about “slow down so I can see the prices,” was he serious? You do such a great job documenting these incredible shows and I’m appreciative just to get look. Keep up the great work documenting and collecting. The Cobb is outrageous, can’t beat the color and registration….loved that Walter Johnson as well, what a great pose he has going on that card, wow, fantastic!
We all got your back Orlando! Ignore the trolls! You actually got me a little choked up with this video!!! Loved seeing you and your cards in this video! I got to actually touch the Cobb Polar Bear back! I got goosebumps!🤣🤣
Great video, great pickups. That Cobb is stunning. As for taking $100 to a show, I sometimes bring $0 to a show. I go for the social aspect and then get lunch with a friend after.
Orlando, I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like your Collector’s Dream is coming true! Just never stop dreaming, pal. It was so great to meet you on FaceTime - we’ll meet again at the National!
Great video, Orlando. Who'da thunk a bunch of old fellas would have such a good time in an ice rink? Congrats on your pickup up and criticizing you for not calling out the legendary Germany Schaefer in that Senators Fatima. (I say Fah-team-uh)
I saw that comment about your video going fast. This isnt the best comment, some other comment said, I SUGGEST YOU LAY OUT CARDS AT HOME AND PRACTICE because you go too fast. I was the 1st to read or watch I believe after that since it was day 1 recap of the show, and I made the 1st "reply" as I will waste my time to support good people such as Orlando. You can see my comment, but it went like this: I said... You should come to the show, it's great to check out. Also he (meaning Orlando) goes to the show on his own dime, own time and energy to film, upload and post for all to enjoy. Now we are all entitled to our opinions with public platforms but please Orlando, do not get turned off with internet comments. They are like ants, kill one and then you see another. It will always be a part of the internet. Spend time and energy on all the other good stuff, because people who leave comments like that just want drama and a reaction out of you. I assure you, they could care less what you do and are looking for internet validation from strangers. You have more knowledge and that time can be used for the good like you have been doing. Sharing it with those who care, want to hear your story, the cards story. A lot of card collectors that may be new, make good connections is my best advice. So many people are here to share what they have learned that may have costed them a lot to learn and of you put in the time and energy, you can quickly gain free knowledge and great friendships. Not to mention the avenue of trading. A lost part of the hobby IMO. Some of you on a limited budget can be just as active in the hobby with trading to obtain cards you are after. It was nice to meet in person finally although briefly, I will see you soon again at the National and hope to hang out longer. I promise it will be warmer out 😂
Hey Orlando great pick ups, I enjoy seeing what you piock up but don't comment here much anymore. If you by chance are in the market for another T200 I have a Pittsburgh Pirates SGC 1.5 I am looking to move, great playing days Honus Wagner.
It amazes me how another man counts another man's money. Weird. Spending YOUR MONEY the way you want and what makes you happy is a golden rule You don't have to justify to anybody Orlando. At the end of the day it's all about you. CZcams is full of idiots but the majority of people in this hobby are terrific like yourself. What defines a serious collector? I picked up a Larry Walker rookie card today for my collection. Made my day and smiled the day through. I even had fun sleeving it and organizing my collection. Straight up I'm a serious collector in my mind I don't pay rent in anybody else's. God bless you and peace be upon you Orlando.
Exactly my friend, so well said. Thank you so much for the kind words and inspiration. Truly appreciate your friendship, hope to meet you at the National. God Bless
Appreciate your input. Most guys will do a video and edit it to shorten and quicken the time. I’m almost 70 years old and just don’t know how to edit. So I just hit play and talk. Will try to shorten and speed up.
Orlando, Wow! I can hear the emotion in your voice and I want to reach through and give you a hug. You don't have to explain anything to nobody. It is your business how you collect and we all collect differently to a degree and that is the beauty of it. I think you are one of the kindest, most gentle souls in this community and I think a lot of other CZcamsr's feel the same. You will never please everyone. Thank you for sharing your great pickups from Strongsville and connecting with people has a higher value than the cards we have in our collections. So glad you had a great time at the show and keep up the great content, God Bless and take care 🙏 👍
God Bless you Andy, truly appreciate the kind words.
Hey commenters, Orlando is a great dude, nicest guy you will meet! Keep the comments positive, he is making these videos for nothing! Orlando, you don’t need to explain yourself, your videos are awesome!
Appreciate it Theo, my defender. You can be my bodyguard anytime!
The best part of the weekend was getting my Orlando hug. It was great hanging out with you mi amigo.
Same here! You are the best
Amazing video, Orlando. I had so much fun spending time with you in Strongsville and am truly honored to be your friend.
Same here! This was an awesome experience, not just because I got great stuff but you guys are the best!
Beautiful cards and amazing story telling Orlando. You have supported me and my hobby journey since before I even started my channel. I am truly grateful for your friendship and for all of the support you have given me. You are without question, one of a kind my friend. I am already getting excited for the next time we can get together.
Definitely can’t wait for the National
Thank you Orlando for taking the time to film and publish your videos. These efforts of yours, and other you tubers, allow those of us who did not make it to the show a chance to see and hear all of you having a great time. And thanks for all of the other videos you produce. I appreciate and enjoy the postings.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much, I’ll continue to share my collecting journey.
This is Dave, I was working with Tim Payne this weekend. Highlight of my trip was meeting Don just after the Beecher purchase. The impact that card had with him was immeasurable! He was so excited, I will never forget it!
Collectors like you and Don are what makes this hobby so much fun, look forward to seeing you again!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this information, Don and I were able to spend some time together. We’re great friends now
Thus was a wonderful video Orlando! I'm so glad I stopped and met you on the show floor at Strongsville. You are so kind and have great passion for the hobby. I picked up my very first T206 and love it! Also grabbed the Topps '66 Mantle on my way out. Again... a pleasure meeting you.
Thanks again! Definitely was a pleasure meeting you, congrats on the t206. Hopefully we can meet up at the National!
Orlando you are one of my absolute favorite people on here because i love your personality and passion for our great hobby. I can tell how much this show and meeting up with friends meant to you. You are loved my friend!!! Thank you for always being real with us all. I cant wait to meet you at a show and give ya a big hug. I would love to make it down there to Florida and meet up. I will also be in Cleveland.
Awesome! Thank you! Definitely will meet you at the National. Let me know when you’re in Florida
While I have never met you Orlando, I feel like I know you and consider you a friend through CZcams. You are a sincere and genuine man. I am 44 years old and never really collected vintage until I found your channel a year ago. I watch every video you post. Thank you for what you do. I like hearing the knowledge of these players and the history of your collection. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Keep being you Orlando. You’re genuine and one of a kind.
Wow, thank you! Truly appreciate your kind comments. Enjoy the hobby and journey of your collection. Hopefully we can meet up sometime.
@@ACollectorsDream You’re welcome Orlando. That would be great!
I understand your emotion Orlando, I truly do. Thank you my friend
Love spending time with you Dave
You guys are awesome!
I’m so glad we were able to introduce ourselves at Strongsville. You’re a special guy, and someone that I’m sure all of us look up to in many ways. Was awesome getting to chat for a bit and check out the show. You are certainly right, these memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for being the person you are, we could all use a few more Orlando’s in our lives !
Fantastic Cobb too. I picked up a Polar Bear tee shirt also at the show. Very good choices. Take care my friend !
Thanks my friend, you’re the future of the hobby. Anything I can do to help let me know
@@ACollectorsDream Means a lot ! ❤️
Great cards Orlando, and a great video. When I think of true collectors in this community, yours is one of the first names that comes to mind. You're everything that's good about this community, and I hope you have many many more years of collecting and making content.
Wow, 🙏 thank you. Definitely will continue to document my collecting journey.
Orlando, you are one of the nicest guys I know. It was an absolute pleasure spending time with you in Strongsville. I love your videos. You don't need to explain your purchases to anyone. The vast majority of collectors (including the doofuses who try to flex in the comments) hold your collection in the highest regard.

You take your time out of the show, that you can be spending with vendors and friends, to make your card show videos. That is more than you need to do!! I really appreciate all that you do for the community, but I especially appreciate our friendship.
Darren, you are an amazing guy. Truly enjoyed spending time together.
I listened to your heartfelt video and read all the comments. It makes me so happy to see you following your passion, and how loved you are by all. You are a walking encyclopedia and a true historian of the sport. You don’t need fancy videos, or to change anything for anyone because you are perfect just as you are - one of the kindest, most wonderful souls in this world. I love you more than you’ll ever know and am truly blessed to have you as my brother.
It was so much fun going with you to the Lyric Theatre to see Never Drop the Ball. I’m sorry I didn’t realize you needed help while videoing because for sure I would have helped you.
Anyways, loved hanging with you today at moms!❤
Love you always sis, you ate the gum of the packs I opened early 70’s. You’ve been right next to me during my entire collecting journey.
Orlando, it has been a blessing meeting you and knowing you as a friend. It really is the most important thing that comes out of this great hobby of ours. I’m glad you had a wonderful experience and made memories that you will treasure forever. This really is a special group of guys that share a common interest. I appreciate all you do and for sharing what is on your mind and heart. Congrats on the awesome pickups. Take care my friend..God bless
You're the best Hugo, can’t wait to see you again
Orlando, I really appreciate you sharing some of your emotion with us, my collecting brother! The RED and the eye-popping image clarity on your RED Cobb! WOW, WOW, WOW! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 And I love the perfect Polar Bear back! If a collector were to pick only one Cobb, you totally nailed it! So happy for you! Epic pickups and an epic time with friends! 😊👊
That means a lot coming from you the eye appeal expert. Can’t wait to spend time together
I was so pleased to have finally meet you and I was not disappointed. Your acquisitions are awesome , I especially like your e120 Johnson and your Cobb portrait with a beautiful Polar Bear back. Congratulations !!
Thanks again! Was definitely a pleasure meeting you and seeing your incredible collection. Much appreciated
My brother your passionate like me and you can hear it in your voice, your one of my best friends that I’ve have met in person and in this hobby so thanks for everything NY LOU

You're the best! Thank you Ronnie, you’re so kind. We definitely need to get together sometime. I’ll be at the National
The Cobb card traveled 115 years to be in your hands. Congrats on a great pickup.
You got that right! I’ve been looking for a nice one for many years. Seems like I’ve seen hundreds over the years. This one jumped out of the dealer’s case, had to get it. I’m ecstatic!

You are so welcome. God Bless Peter
Man, those are some incredible pick-ups. I'm glad you had such an amazing show, Orlando!
It was! Everything worked out for me. Sold cards and bought awesomeness for my collection.
speaking for all of us, " meer mortals" we love you Orlando!
I started small and took years to get to this point. You can do it, patience.
ASH is a good dude met him a few times in NY and Las Vegas, made some great deals with him like picking up my 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie from him. Yes very nice guy and amazing cards he has to sell one of the best dealers, so glad you and him had a chance to chat about life NY Lou
Definitely an awesome guy! I trust him and will bring more stuff for him to buy in the future.
You are such a blessing to the community! Only had a few brief conversations at the show, but looking forward to more opportunities in the future!
Can't wait to see you again, let’s talk more next time.
I loved all your Strongsville content- thanks for sharing. I'm glad it was one of the times of your life. For that reason, I'm sorry to have missed it. However, from my perspective, looking at the brightside, you have at least one more friend in me (and I'm sure many more) that our meeting is still to come. So, there's still even more great times in store as I'm looking forward to that day! In the meantime, as always, Good Collecting 👍👍💗💗
Well said! Appreciate your friendship, we’ll get together soon my friend
Your filming showcases is fantastic and the speed you go at is solid and doesn’t need changing. Also for anyone who may not know, you can easily slow videos down in the CZcams settings and see prices that way. No need for Orlando to change anything, the options are in the settings to view at whatever pace you like thanks for sharing!
Great advice to the complainers who want me to go slow. Truly appreciate your help and support
Great conversation with Ash ❤ and the good memories you shared with your buddies. We will have our day in the sun soon, hanging out 😎 take care
Absolutely!!
I know I texted you already but just wanted to say again how much I appreciate and enjoy watching the passion you have for the community, cards and hobby burst through! So awesome Orlando!
Awesome! Thank you! 🙏
Congrats on some amazing pick ups! You are a blessing to this hobby with your passion and knowledge! God bless
Thank you kindly!
Wow! Congrats Orlando! The Cobb looks great.
Thank you!
Great storytelling on this video. Hearing someone detail making the tough decisions. Those cards do look very nice. Congrats on a successful show.
Glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate your support, listening through the long video. Wanted to share my journey.
You are the best, my friend.
Love your pickups. Great video from the show. Welcome home, my friend.
Thank you kindly. Hopefully I’ll see you at the Ft. Lauderdale show!
Congratulations Orlando on the absolute fire 🔥 you picked up!!! Can’t wait to hang out with you again.
Most definitely!
Orlando, it is very evident how you value people. I appreciated your thoughts and sharing. I also picked up my first Chico Carrasquel, based in no small part, upon your stories of, and passion for Latin baseball.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video man. I appreciate all the detail
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, you're an absolute legend. Don't worry about the nuances of the videos, they're all great and above all else, super thoughtful and kind. Much love and respect from TX.
I appreciate that! Great advice, I don’t need to worry about any of that stuff! Thanks for being a CZcams friend
I’m glad to hear that you had a great time hanging out with awesome guys! Some amazing pickups too!
Most definitely! Can’t wait to see you at the National.
Amazing pick-ups, Orlando! Us getting emotionally tied to our cards is what makes us collectors. Looks like you all had a great time.
Thanks for watching! It was incredible seeing some of the best vintage collectors plus the CZcams guys.
Awesome to meet and talk cards and other stories
Your collection is insane
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kindness. Was a pleasure meeting you and spending time together
Some nice pickups Orlando! Wasn't really familiar with this show...but now that I know, some future visits to this amazing show are in store for me! Congrats on the beautiful Cobb pickup! Looking forward to the National, and hopefully meeting you and some other youtubers as well. Congrats once again!
Thanks again
I have no words...just...in...credible Orlando..cheers
Thanks so much for your kind words
Orlando I love your videos! Great vintage and always enjoyable
Glad you like them! Got another Strongsville video to upload
Great video. Amazing group of guys. Wish I could have been there!
Next time!
Orlando…thank you for sharing your feelings on the Strongsville show as well as the cards you purchased and sold. It makes perfect sense that you would have heightened feelings about the two cards you sold as they represent a lifetime’s worth of time dedicated to your passion. Those cards will always represent your legacy and will be celebrated by you and your family for all time. Congratulations on a great show and thank you for sharing with us. You are truly a ‘man of the people’. 💪🏽🙏
Well said! Truly appreciate your awesome comments and support. Hope we can meet at the National
Incredible stuff Orlando. Congrats on these.
Much appreciated! Saw every table and picked up my favorites
Gave a video like as always - Awesome pickups. The Cobb is beyond words amazing. The Walter Johnson looks terrific. The OPC Mantle is really cool. I agree, looks pack fresh! Love that '53 Bowman Campy, great photo of him. The team cards are really special as well. It was such a blessing getting to meet you at the show. Look forward to seeing you again at the National.
Thanks! You too! Was great speaking with you and spending some time together.
Sending you all the love Orlando. Great video and so awesome to see how this hobby can truly bring people together. Love the pickups.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate your support
Orlando, first time seeing your channel. I’ve heard your name through the community and regret it took this long to watch a video. Strongsville was a great show & you had some incredible pickups. Looking forward to watching more of your content!
Welcome aboard! I’m just a lifelong collector sharing my collecting journey on CZcams.
Great people like yourself are the HEART of this hobby. Fantastic recap and video.
Thank you kindly, really appreciate you watching.
Pretty awesome pickups Orlando! Congrats on winning the Strongsville show!
Thanks a bunch! Wish you were there, but we’ll get together soon
Wonderful pick ups. Enjoyed. God bless.
Thank you! You too!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Your collection is amazing. You can hear the emotion in your voice. That is what this hobby should be about, people and relationships. The cards bring us all together, but the relationships are the most important part. I hope to shake hands with you some day!
Thank you so much! For sure it’s about the friendships.
Wish I could have been there! Can’t wait to meet you.
Amazing cards Orlando
Thank you John, hopefully you won the auction!
Hey Orlando, these are awesome pickups! Love the mantle and campy. I am looking for a Fatima card as well. Congrats on the Red Cobb. Orlando you have a fantastic collection and you are a fantastic fantastic person. I so wish I could of made it. My son had a out of state baseball tournament which he did well at. But i'm looking forward to meeting you some day. Great pickups my friend!
Thanks so much!
Wow, great pickups Orlando, I can’t believe how beautiful that Cobb looks. What a banger!!!!
I love it! Lots of Cobbs at the show. Looked at all of them, mine just popped out. Had to get it
❤ Great additions to your collection, Orlando! Those Fatimas are beautiful! The Washington card also features another early Cuban player, Merito Acosta! Congrats on the amazing Cobb! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, my friend!
Thanks for the info! I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing
Orlando, I can hear the hurt and emotional discussion on someone who you consider a friend that commented your lack of seriousness on collecting based on your budget. Remember this always. You collection for you and you only. You've been at this now for decades. You've been there done that both as a dealer and collector. Your not addicted to spending or unreasonable spending on the passion you luv congratulations, most don't have that disaplent they need help you don't. Don't apologize or try and prove anything those who respect you ride with you no matter what, I respect and understand.
Thank you for your support and kind words. Your advice is the best and truly appreciated. I’ll keep doing what I do on my collecting journey.
Great video & pickups Orlando. I like the story behind the cards & the friendships
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video Orlando and amazing pickups. I am still in awe of how gorgeous that Cobb is. I really enjoyed the time we spent talking at the show! Hope to see you again at the National!
We definitely need to get together again. Truly enjoyed our time together
I saw that mantle OPC in a case and thought it was a steal and a great card, so happy you got it!!
I know!! Definitely was a good deal and nice card. Could not pass up the Mantle
Hi Orlando. Rick is a great guy. I wouldn't change a thing you do my friend, love watching your footage. It is not easy what you do. All you guys who film at shows do an amazing job, knowing how difficult it can be. Thanks my friend for taking the time to show us. You are truly a good man, and it's no wonder everyone gravitates to you my friend. AWESOME pickups my friend. Both the Cobb and Johnson are superb. Thanks for the great weekend my friend, talk soon pal.
I appreciate that Stephan, you’re an awesome guy also. Definitely need to spend more time together next time. Congrats on your Jackie grail card, it’s beautiful!
Hi Orlando,
Thank you for your excellent video of your pickups from the Strongsville show. I really appreciate your E120 card from the America Caramel set!
Have a great day,
Peter
My pleasure!
Great video! Was actually next to you at a table. Wasn’t familiar with your channel at the time. Wish I had said hi. Next time!
Next time! So glad that we kind of found each other. Please don’t hesitate to talk to me anytime.
Great video Orlando, the centering on that 1966 OPC Mantle is about as good as you can find.
Thanks for the info, I probably will never find a centered opc Mantle, very happy with mine. Thanks for your kind words Rob, much appreciated
Orlando I’m strictly a Vintage Cubs Collector, but after watching all your videos, but specifically the Goodwin videos I had to pick up a few. I know I will never complete the set but I just loved how great your cards looked. Thanks for sharing, a true collector get emotional at times weather picking up a new card they were chasing or letting a card go that was in there collection for a long time.
Truly appreciate your kind comments, congrats on the Goodwin cards. Gorgeous cards
very nice pickups. checked off some nice cards!
Much appreciated
Great pickups Orlando!!!
Wish I could’ve been there!
You were definitely missed
See you at The National my friend! 😉
your best video yet Orlando. 👍
Wow, thanks. Truly appreciate that, It’s from the heart. Too passionate sometimes ❤️
Great pickups. I collect Fatimas and love them. Also have a T206 Red Cobb Polar Bear back but a 1.5 SGC. Got it for my 70th birthday 6 years ago Yours is magnificent! Just won a 1946 Propaganda Montiel #6 Jack Johnson on REA auctions. I started looking at Cuban cards because of your videos so this is my first. Anyway fantastic cards!
Thanks so much Larry
Amazing pickups specially love the o pee chee Mickey Mantle. It was a honor to meet you.
Thanks so much? Pleasure hanging out with you
What great pick ups my friend. As far as the comments, you will always have people that will have something to say. You don’t owe anyone any explanations. People that know you or have seen your videos know the kind hearted person you are. God bless you my friend.
Thanks 👍 truly appreciate your friendship. God bless
Just want to just say, Thank You Sir
You are very welcome 🙏
Orlando, your #13 Bresnahan is on my list, I'd be interested in that card if you're selling? Nice Campy, Mantle, Johnson, Cobb! I enjoy your passion in collecting. One of my favorite videos of yours; your visit to the baseball field at Dorsey Park.
I’ll probably take it to the National once it’s graded. See you then
Shoot, the heck with the dude talking about “slow down so I can see the prices,” was he serious? You do such a great job documenting these incredible shows and I’m appreciative just to get look. Keep up the great work documenting and collecting. The Cobb is outrageous, can’t beat the color and registration….loved that Walter Johnson as well, what a great pose he has going on that card, wow, fantastic!
Appreciate your support and comments. Sometimes I get some of those comments and wanted to address it kindly.
The Wajo was striking in hand. It was a tremendous grab along with your Cobb addition. Happy for you.
Thanks Josh, was truly a pleasure meeting you and spending some time together.
@@ACollectorsDream feeling is mutual hopefully can make it to National a day this year
We all got your back Orlando! Ignore the trolls! You actually got me a little choked up with this video!!! Loved seeing you and your cards in this video! I got to actually touch the Cobb Polar Bear back! I got goosebumps!🤣🤣
You're the best! Was awesome spending time with you.
@@ACollectorsDream likewise my friend
You are a Good Man, Orlando.
Thank you so much for your kind words, inspiring me to keep making videos
Great video, great pickups. That Cobb is stunning. As for taking $100 to a show, I sometimes bring $0 to a show. I go for the social aspect and then get lunch with a friend after.
Well said! We’re just regular guys with regular budgets. Time builds a solid collection
@@ACollectorsDream bigger budget this weekend and then for the national for me. Most local shows I go small or $0.
Orlando, I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like your Collector’s Dream is coming true! Just never stop dreaming, pal. It was so great to meet you on FaceTime - we’ll meet again at the National!
Can’t wait to see you at the national, now I know what you look like
And that Cobb. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lots of Cobbs at the show, I feel I got the best one. Other than higher grades
Great video, Orlando. Who'da thunk a bunch of old fellas would have such a good time in an ice rink? Congrats on your pickup up and criticizing you for not calling out the legendary Germany Schaefer in that Senators Fatima. (I say Fah-team-uh)
Appreciate the correct pronunciation. You’re the best!
Wow Orlando!
Best show ever, the friends there were amazing.
Great! Happy you could go.
I saw that comment about your video going fast. This isnt the best comment, some other comment said, I SUGGEST YOU LAY OUT CARDS AT HOME AND PRACTICE because you go too fast. I was the 1st to read or watch I believe after that since it was day 1 recap of the show, and I made the 1st "reply" as I will waste my time to support good people such as Orlando.
You can see my comment, but it went like this: I said... You should come to the show, it's great to check out. Also he (meaning Orlando) goes to the show on his own dime, own time and energy to film, upload and post for all to enjoy. Now we are all entitled to our opinions with public platforms but please Orlando, do not get turned off with internet comments. They are like ants, kill one and then you see another. It will always be a part of the internet. Spend time and energy on all the other good stuff, because people who leave comments like that just want drama and a reaction out of you. I assure you, they could care less what you do and are looking for internet validation from strangers. You have more knowledge and that time can be used for the good like you have been doing. Sharing it with those who care, want to hear your story, the cards story. A lot of card collectors that may be new, make good connections is my best advice. So many people are here to share what they have learned that may have costed them a lot to learn and of you put in the time and energy, you can quickly gain free knowledge and great friendships. Not to mention the avenue of trading. A lost part of the hobby IMO. Some of you on a limited budget can be just as active in the hobby with trading to obtain cards you are after.
It was nice to meet in person finally although briefly, I will see you soon again at the National and hope to hang out longer. I promise it will be warmer out 😂
Truly appreciate your advice. Thank you for taking the time to comment and especially becoming my friend
Hey Orlando great pick ups, I enjoy seeing what you piock up but don't comment here much anymore.
If you by chance are in the market for another T200 I have a Pittsburgh Pirates SGC 1.5 I am looking to move, great playing days Honus Wagner.
Definitely appreciate you reaching out, I was looking for the Cleveland Joe Jackson. But will consider and let you know. Maybe at the National
@@ACollectorsDream I won't be attending this year feel free to reach out if you are interested.
No worries and happy collecting
Postales bonitas gracias octavio
Muchas Gracias mi amigo, Tenemos que vernos
😊
❤️
That Fatima is beautiful.
Thanks so much
It amazes me how another man counts another man's money. Weird. Spending YOUR MONEY the way you want and what makes you happy is a golden rule You don't have to justify to anybody Orlando. At the end of the day it's all about you. CZcams is full of idiots but the majority of people in this hobby are terrific like yourself. What defines a serious collector? I picked up a Larry Walker rookie card today for my collection. Made my day and smiled the day through. I even had fun sleeving it and organizing my collection. Straight up I'm a serious collector in my mind I don't pay rent in anybody else's. God bless you and peace be upon you Orlando.
Exactly my friend, so well said. Thank you so much for the kind words and inspiration. Truly appreciate your friendship, hope to meet you at the National. God Bless
@@ACollectorsDreamI hope to meet you at the Fort Lauderdale show I live in Miramar. 😂
@33:40 cool backside
Thank you
Orlando if he cares about seeing the prices then he can go to the show himself. Enjoy your videos my friend.
Thank you 🙏
You talk too much get to the point
Appreciate your input. Most guys will do a video and edit it to shorten and quicken the time. I’m almost 70 years old and just don’t know how to edit. So I just hit play and talk. Will try to shorten and speed up.
Do your thing buddy. Don't worry about the whiners. It's YOUR video dude!
@@ACollectorsDream You're almost 70?! You look great. I would never have guessed that at all. I thought you were in your mid to late 50's.
@@ACollectorsDream You're making great content Orlando. I wouldn't change it because of PlowKingWilly...
