Fantastic story of you and your Dad back in the day. So much of it brings back memories of my Dad and I back in the little league days and how I loved it when I made him proud. Thanks for the happy birthday for Willie Mays too ! He's been my idol/hero since 1956. Happy birthday Willie. SayHey24

Great story John! Thanks for sharing. Great memories.

Love these stories!

Great story about your Little League past. Thanks for sharing John.

Great story "Say Hey John!"

Awesome story, thanks for sharing. Great cards

What a great story of your father. Thank You. I'm living the dream with my son in 11U travel ball now. Great memories being made

Love the story. All kids should have the chance to dream of being Willie Mays in the outfield.

Thanks for sharing the cards, John. Did not know all those players played for the Pirates. Happy 93rd birthday to the Say Hey Kid.

Willie Mangini has a good ring to it

I appreciate you showing me your Willie. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent pick ups John..😍😮 Love the Vennie's and the Doerr heads up..🤗 Gr8 story about playing ball in your young years..😊 Take care..👍❤🔥🤙

Great cards and stories. Love that '38 Doerr. Thanks for sharing.

Gave a like - Great story of playing ball and your dad being proud on a play you made. Awesome Bobby Doerr! That is such a cool set, with or without the comics on the front. The Sal Maglie is cool. Love those Reb Man cards. Those are some really nice 1967 Venezuelan League cards. Thanks for sharing, John

Great story! Willie Mangini! 😁

Awesome my friend 🎉🎉

Timely story about your Dad and Willie Mays Mangini. RIP 🙏 My Dad was a star third baseman for Nevada Southern College (before it became UNLV) and was invited to camp with the SF Giants. He did not raise me but saw me play in an All Star game in Vegas once. He told me afterward he thought I had more talent than him. That was nowhere near the truth but just hearing it from him was indeed impactful. Thanks for sharing your cards. 👍

John, congrats on a really nice Doerr RC addition to your collection! Take care, my collecting brother! 😊👊

Hi John. Nice pickups. That was an awesome story about baseball and your father, thanks for sharing my friend, talk soon pal.

The goalie in the Parrish hockey card could be John Davidson now Executive President of the Columbus Blue Jackets 🤔

Great cards, nice Bobby Doerr! Sal the Barber Redman is cool. Hernandez and Tiant also played for the Twins. Famous double play combination, Hernandez to Carew to Killebrew. Couple of them were famous anyway.

Thank god your mom won out on the naming! 😂 Nice Bobby Doerr! I had a chance to buy one a couple years ago and still kick myself that I didn’t! El’ Tiante! Love that guy!

Thx for the story.

They all played for the Pirates.

All played for the Pirates.

Hi, willie!

Who are 3 people that have never been in my kitchen? Fun video as always

Willie Mancini!

Willie John Mangini!! And happy 93rd birthday to Mr. Mays. I agree that, a Dad being proud of of their son & their achievements. Is special. Compliments can be rarer than cards. Al Bundy, a high school football legend. Bundy, threw 4 touchdowns in one game! I can't believe his Dad didn't brag about it to his friends too! Ed O'Neill, was undrafted by your Pittsburgh Steelers, but got cut. Had to compete against ''Mean'' Joe Greene. So it's understandable. I would say the acting thing, was the right decision. Haha.

Speaking of Willie, can you do a video of Willie Stargell? I know you're a big Pirates fan, and Stargell was one of my favorite players as a kid. Maybe show us your top five Willie Stargell cards.

Did they all play for the Pirates because I know Jackie Hernandez play for the Pirates part of the all black nine

very instersing… back as a kid my name was same as my dads name but I was the JR….. so he did not call me my name becuase it was HIS name… so he called me Willie for a big part of my chilhood and later found out it was because of willie mays.. i played sports alot as a kid and later found out he called me willie for willie mays...

All great stories Willie Mangini. Actually John sounds better. Great Venezuelan cards. Actually i guessed your trivia, Pirates but i dont remember Tiant on the Pirates. True about our kids. My daughter in middle school played 3rd base back in the day n did like a Brooks Robinson play n threw the runner out. Take care.

Where can I find a link to live with Sammy about the 77 Mexican Set?

Did you know that the 1951 Bowman Willie Mays will hold little to no value in the future? He will have no future cultural relevance. I heard that from an expert recently.

Those 1967 Venezuelan Topps are awesome. The photography is so radically different looking from the US version they are quite cool. If they have any HOFers in the set and you have them, please show them in an upcoming video.
