Northern California has some outstanding vintage card shows, and the Fairfield Card Show if one of our very best. I saw rare Bazooka Cards of Clemente, a Gehrig Delong, a Bond Bread Yogi Berra, and loads of Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Ruth, and more. There were more T206, Goudey's, Tobacco Cards, and vintage cards than I've seen in a very long time. And to make things even more fun, my Dad and I setup as dealers, too!! This vlog shows you some of the best tables, dealers, and cards that I came across at this Summer's best Northern California card show. I did my best to provide dealer information in case you wanted to reach out to any of these dealers for any of the cards that you see throughout the video.
If you’d like to buy a MidLife Shirt, they can be found at the following link. They run a little small, so I recommend buying one size larger than normal. The link is here: www.etsy.com/listing/17184228...

Hi Midlife Nation! To people that haven’t had the pleasure to meet Graig in person, what you see on all his amazing video is what you get!! Thank you for all the support this weekend, sending vintage collectors my way at the show and all the kind words on this Fairfield Card show video. I told Mike if he had a KZfaq channel he’d have 6,000 subs! Ha …Your Dad is such a nice/fun guy, enjoyed our interactions at the show. -Jeremy

@ACD1994 6 күн бұрын

The 1956 Topps cards have grown on me over the years. Clemente '56 is a gorgeous card. Great pick up for your dad. I was reading earlier a little about Cepeda's life. He had a tough life both before entering the MLB losing his dad, not knowing English, and after it, in his later years. Stroke...and abuse by his own daughter in-law. But he seemed like a nice guy that cared about kids. Graig, you were having so much fun at the show. You didn't even say anything negative about PSA. Hopefully, you will be able to get the interview. Can always put the rant video on private. ☺

@MidLifeCards 6 күн бұрын

Cepeda was a good guy in the area. Attended lots of events and ran baseball camps for many years.

@cryptonite8495 6 күн бұрын

I wonder if you'll buy that Whitey rookie on Day 2. I have that card in PSA 3, but from the quick look I got, I think the 2.5 you were looking at might be its equal if not better. I'll email you mine. $400 seems about right for a 2.5 (my 3 cost $525 all in) and I bet you have a little negotiating room there. I would have liked to know what the dealer was asking for those Bazooka Clementes. Probably above my pay grade!

@MidLifeCards 6 күн бұрын

The Bazooka cards were going for $900 for the 60 and $2,500 for the 68. I ended up not buying the Whitey Ford, but I did buy a few cards. I'll show them on my June pickups video.

Nice card your dad got. Did you buy anything ? It would be nice if you highlighted or mixed in more old football or boxing for us guys who do other than baseball. The Namath 6 was an awesome card. The 60 Jim Brown looked like a buy under 100. Was there any pre war football ? Thanks Graig, love the show videos
