That Brooks Robinson letter is fantastic, not too many players would take the time to do that! What a collection!

That Alex Morgan card is awesome

👍 Great Vid. Made me get misty thinking about walking a mile to the local sweet shop to buy packs with my lawn mowing money in the 80s. Love to see more of your PC!

You should get that Brooks Robinson note encapsulated to preserve it. Very cool item.

Yes please continue with this format of video. Being an O's fan growing up I often heard about Brooksie's respect and kindness to others eventually experiencing it firsthand. The shop I was managing promoted a show and Brooks was the Top Attraction. Fortunately it was slow and I got to sit with him and talk sports with him for about 45 minutes. What a gentleman!

This was awesome! Definitely more of these

Great collection. Please do more vlogs like this ✊

The Brooks Robinson is , THE COOLEST STORY/CARD of them all !!!!!! Fantastic video , thank you Ron Gross.

love the Barry Sanders clip, miss John Madden and Summerall in the booth!

Please do make a bunch of these. The experiences you share in your videos are pretty cool.

Love seeing personal collections. Thanks for sharing! Great stuff.

I for one could watch these all day long. Thank you my friend.

Really cool, would love to see this as a regular series.

YES you have to keep doing videos like this !!! You have cards I have never seen before and they are sooo cool. LOVE the Sanders. Man he was the bomb. He carried the Lions. Was upset when he left but I dont blame him, the Lions are not that good of a team lol

I was really impressed by the Brooks Robinson note he wrote you that is so cool and a great story.

I love that Lou Gehrig card, he’s one of my favorites. I didn’t know that card existed!

Been waiting for this! Just show us your Top 100 over time :) By the way, This channel here is for my coins and bullion but my first love and still is, I have a huge collection, Therefore I am making a new youtube channel today all about cards/trading cards/sports memorabilia. I love how you LOVE the "first days of baseball-pre ww1. Just amazing stuff, I am constantly reading about players from 1880-1945ish I have been doing that forever. Thats why I miss upper deck and sets like legends, SP legendary cuts, New York set they made, Fleer GOTG. Etc. The panini stuff is cool but I LOVE the logos especially when it comes to vintage stuff. Anyway I am going to start off with just random stuff, cards, unopened wax, some bangers but I do not want to show off all my great stuff first, but I am thinking of themes, maybe a different team each day. Like ive told you my 1969-73 collection is in the 10,000s of cards, many many have 5, 6 of each card so when your in the states LMK, I do not have time to move ALL the 800 count boxes of semi/minor/commons. Thanks so much Chris, as always another banger, Keepem coming brother! Have a great day!.. PS, I use to write players, actors, etc, from stararchive. It was so much fun, whats sad is my binders got let at a "friends" back in my senior year, he moved away and vanished, I STILL look for that guy lol, hoping just maybe he will still have mine, man I have around 100 or so sigs some crazy famous actors and some good players, alot were personalized so would be tough sales, obviously no COAs but that was near 15 years ago now, wow how times fly!

Good stuff ! Barry was my favorite player too , I remember wanting the 89 score for so many years.

This is awesome! Please consider making more of these. Thanks, as always, for the content.

You should do a series of this type of video, this was great! One suggestion that would make it more interesting is to try and recall what you paid and then state the current value of each one. Kind of like you did with the Willie Mays.

That was really fun! Thanks, Chris. That Alex Morgan amazing!

Awesome video Chris.. Love the cards you chose out of your PC.. I love them all but if I had to choose 1 it would be the 1928 Tharp's ice cream Gherig.. It's amazing.. Please keep making these videos my guy.. Stay safe homie..👍💕🔥⚾😷

Love it! Nice sneak-peek at the PC. Great stories behind every card. More of this, please!

Beautiful mix of card!. Love the classics of course, but the story behind McGwire and why it made the list is great. Thanks!

I like the format Chris!!! I always enjoy checking out collections!!

Love the Tharp’s Gehrig. I’ve been searching for the Ruth but the last sale exceeded 20k

Love these! Sent off cards to bball all stars to be autographed in the early 90s. Got cards back from Olajuwon, Stockton, and Kevin Johnson (sadly stamped his). Great memories

Awesome stuff. Love the letter you got back and the run over by a truck McGwire. So cool that you still have that card from your first pack. Love the Ripken Donruss Elite. # to 5000 but such a game changer card when you think of the significance of what Donruss started with these Elite inserts. I always see comments about how these cards are not that rare since they are numbered to 5000 or 10,000 for the other elite inserts but try to find one in good shape without chipping on the edges. Need to remember who was pulling 90% of these 30 years ago. Also when you look at a certain player in ultra modern with a serial numbered card (not auto or patch) and you add all of the parallels, hobby/retail special parallels, color and picture variations and across multiple releases in a year.... I will keep buying my Donruss Elite and Select Mirror cards all day long! Thanks for sharing this Chris!

Love these personal collecting stories. Thanks Chris

Chris, this was very enjoyable to watch. Please continue this series!

I ready for another episode.

That Brooks Robinson note deserves a frame. Get it out of that folded state and frame it. Its amazing and a very personal letter. Much respect for him.

You are a true lover of cards and a collector besides a dealer. Love the Gerhig never seen it. Mays is impressive. I love the history as you and amazed when you can own a hundred year old card. Continue showing your collection.

Great stories! I could watch these videos all day! Keep them coming and THANK YOU for sharing. Great stuff! This is what the hobby is all about

It's awesome seeing some of the cards in your collection after hearing you mention it so many times. It would definitely be cool to see some more videos like this.

Chris, great video. You told the story of the 52 Mantle and your Lebron topps chrome. Maybe a video on your most expensive cards in your PC. Show us the bling!

Make more of these and the stories of your purchases

I wish I remembered the first pack I ripped back as a kid. Great video!

Really enjoyed the stories to go with the cards, it's a fresh take in today's hobby where it seems most have no attachment and are just looking to make a buck.

Sanders running was art. Nice 10 on that rookie. Looks a tad off right to left, barely. Glad it has a 10, good for you! Keep up the good work.

Free life lesson AND autograph from Brooks Robinson!

This was great Chris! Would love to see it regularly. Would also love to see Top 10 Most Valuable, Top 10 You’ve Had the Longest, and maybe a longer video where you go through some of your Hall of Fame Rookies.

Fantastic video Chris. Love the vintage cards. Love seeing rare cards to learn more about them. How about a video of cards in your collection that are favorites that cost less than $10. Show people that collecting can be done for fun, not just for investment.

would love to see more of this. maybe on a regular basis, each month or so

Great vid, man. I for one love seeing the spotlight put on people's particular favs and who they like collecting. 👍🏻good stuff!

Probably my favorite player to collect is Jorge Posada, dude was my favorite player so I guess that makes sense haha.

Love that Brooks Robinson note. Not sure if he meant for it to be funny but the fact he hand wrote you a note like that is hilarious and priceless.

Fire video🔥

The letter to me is worth the most and priceless. The fact a Profesional Player sent you a note with a correction is hilarious but so cool. That's the beautiful side of the hobby we like to hear! Great series!

That Brooks Robinson letter was great!

This channel is my favorite sports card channel. Chris is so down to earth and his stories are incredible and humane.

Love watching for your content and interest. The personal connection makes these videos fun to watch since We all have a similar story about our cards we our visualizing in our heads. Thank you!

Great video! The fact that you kept your first card regardless of the value is the best. Adding the Berry Sanders clip was a nice touch to bring back old memories. Well done!

I was a Brooks Robinson fan growing up in Massachusetts... very cool note... I was fortunate enough to meet him/shake his hand about 30 years ago... really great, classy guy...

Great video. Love the Mays card and Brooks story - my son is a big TTM autograph seeker and there still are a lot of athletes who sign through the mail (but I'm pretty sure he learned the "Brooks" lesson the hard way). Keep the stories coming!

I also sent so many letters, cards, and stamps/envelopes into Nolan Ryan when I was a kid to the Astros and Rangers but never heard back from him. Awesome the Brooks wrote a little letter back.

It must feel incredible to say you have the only one on the planet, love seeing your collection Chris

Brooks Robinson and Stan The Man Musial. Two of the best gentleman in the history of baseball. Great story and letter. 😁👍

The amazing part of Barry Sanders is that there are dozens if not hundreds of clips where he did the exact same thing to defenders. I grew up watching him and still can’t put into words just how unique of a player he was. There simply has never been another running back do what he did. One of a kind for sure !

Another great video Chris! Are you gonna get a fancy logo like all the other big card youtubers? I think it would help with your brand (and merch) 😁

Love this series! The Brooks Robinson story is great. Also pretty amazing seeing a 100 year old card in that condition. Love the US history aspect of it

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Ripken was one of the main four I collected growing up. Great Ducktales reference too!

The 88 McGwire was also MY first "big" card haha, i was 6. And my favorite player is also Barry Sanders, my PC 89 Score from years ago graded a NICE PSA 7. Also not for sale. Love your channel, i'm also collector 1st, investor 2nd.

This was fun. I'd absolutely love to see more like this. It highlights aspects of collecting in general as well as your personal love for the hobby.

He did it again! Brother, you CANNOT miss! Beautiful cards. That Gehrig! d8^[ ] That Mays!! Just.....TREMENDOUS!! Thank you for the light you burn so brightly for the hobby!

That Brooks Robinson letter is incredible! Yes more of these!

Awesome stuff! Watching Barry Sanders growing up cemented me as a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, no matter how many losing seasons I have to endure. Love that card. I have a similar childhood story to your Brooks Robinson one. After reading Hank Aaron’s autobiography in third grade, I wrote a letter to the Atlanta Braves telling them about how much I enjoyed learning about him. Hank Aaron responded and sent me a greeting card signed “Keep swingin’ for the fences.” - Hank Aaron. Still the coolest thing in my collection

Robinson, kinda nice, kinda saucy. More kinda saucy imo haha

I love that your collection spans multiple eras and sports. Barry Sanders was my favorite running back as well, he was one of a kind. The Brooks Robinson letter is awesome, I'd frame that one for sure.

Wonderful group !!! Love seeing the vintage

One thing I really liked about Barry when he scored a TD he acted like he did it before and just handed the ref the ball. Props to Barry

Chris!! Awesome video and I remember asking you about doing something like this. My Dad and I were watching the Sanders Game you showed where he Ridicously Embarrassed the Cowboys Defense... I like Everything you showed and I too own Multiple Ripken Elite Cards. He and Gwynn were my favorite players growing up. You're Two years younger than I am so we got to watch some Incredible Players growing up!! Do MORE of these Please!

My dad's cousin was a bat boy for the Orioles and after the season ended he gave my dad a bunch of memorabilia right out of the locker room including Brooks Robinson's glove. My dad kept it all in a garbage bag and my grandmother ended up throwing it all away.

9:13 Thought you were describing my wife for a second there!

Do you have any hockey cards in your personal collection?

Yes, please continue with more videos like this one. I liked the Barry Sanders card & always enjoyed watching Barry play on Thanksgiving morning. He never failed to disappoint, although the Lions did quite often. For us card enthusiasts, we love hearing your stories as to how you obtained each card & the price you paid. Thank you Chris.

Very cool vid, Barry Sanders was always awesome to watch. That Lou Gehrig card is awesome, love oddball stuff like that.

Thank you for sharing. As a quick aside, in 1990 I sent out auto requests to many football players. I received a letter from Troy Aikman's mom saying that Troy got a big chuckle out of receiving my auto request for Randall Cunningham. I had switched my letters in their envelopes!! Ouch! Anyway, he forwarded me an autographed card. Nice guy

Nice collection. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the stories behind them.

Really enjoyed the video. Some lovely stories and nice to here some background.

That Mark McGuire reminds me of my 1984 Nestle Ripken card with a kool-Aid stain on it. It’s refreshing to watch someone talk about a real collection and not just “investments” and “steals”, just a dude that’s super happy to be proud of the stuff he’s fortunate to have.

That letter is fantastic! Incredible collection.

I had pulled that Barry card as a kid and sold it a couple years later. Sure wish I still had it! Barry was the best running back I have ever seen. Watching these videos you sure have an awesome collection Chris!

As someone who doesn't follow American sports, I never thought I would enjoy videos like this as much as I do but then the end about Alex Morgan finally entered my interest zone. Would love to hear more football/soccer videos

This is very cool...you're a true aficionado of the hobby. Would like to see more videos like this one.✌

Great episode. I used to write to players back in 80's. Did really well. Had a similar experience with Dom DiMaggio. I still have the letter. A true class act.

Wonderful video. Definitely do more of these. I love seeing other collections and the stories behind them. That triple auto is amazing.

I always wanted to have a 1989 Griffey when I was a kid but never had the money for it. I think we have to be around same age cause we have similar childhoods. I'm 45 & absolutely love your videos. I got back into cards again in 2020 & the first card I bought was a 1989 Griffey PSA 8 for $60 & a raw 1984 Dan Marino RC for $25 (hes my fav player all time). My friend had the Fleer Canseco that he cherished back in the day & that 1988 donruss Canseco brought back alot of memories. I remember riding our bikes 1 hour distance to the card shop where he traded all his collection for that Canseco. Thanks so much for all your videos & what u do to keep the hobby side alive. I've seen all your videos & hope to meet up one day. Thanks alot, your friend, Jeremy.

Thumbs up! Your pc is already amazing.

Hey Chris, I love listening to your stories from the hobby - like most of the comments my favourite is the Brooks Robinson letter. This reminds me of a friend back in the late '60s & early '70s, he was a huge Habs fan (Montreal Canadiens). He wrote letters to all the players and they all sent him signed 8x11 photos - very cool to have all of those now. Awesome stories in collecting Chris, keep them coming please, cheers Chuck.

Nice cards, thanks for sharing. TTM autographs is still somewhat popular. I got Brooks Robinson back in one of my videos.

Love seeing your collection. I especially like to see your vintage baseball cards

This video is great. Really like hearing the stories behind the cards that all of us collectors can relate too.

Love the video and stories behind the cards. My two main guys are Ripken and Gwynn, so I love that you have Ripken stuff and stories. I have a memory of sending cards for autos in the 80's. Nobody returned mine, except I got something from Ripken. It was obviously an assistant or service, but he sent a little card that said, sorry, he gets too many requests to sign through the mail and it included a Ripken post card. Much larger than my envelope, so the cost of the item and postage was all on Cal's dime. I was most impressed that he cared enough to send a sorry note with a little something to soften not getting his auto. True class.

I seen Barry play in college, even better! Love Dr.J

These videos are great. Reminds me of the old stories of my family going card hunting back in the 90s

EASILY one of my favorite vids of yours

Great video! I did one similar for my channel a few weeks ago. Including the McGwire was an awesome touch, a good reminder for everyone why we’re in the hobby in the first place.

Bravo~ most enjoyable and I love your personal collection highlights!

Thank you Chris for by far and away the best card channel on KZfaq. So simple, honest and funny. As a total amateur UK based panini soccer sticker collector I know nothing about baseball but your content is both informative and fascinating. You bring to life what most collectors love, the find and owning a piece of history. Love seeing your PC and the stories bring it to life. Also love your approach with unusual, old, strange cards and getting those graded. Keep up the cracking work.
