Absolutely love your passion!!

Great enthusiasm!! Vintage cardboard is the best!!

I collect 1980’s-present Hall of Fame rookie cards, but I use your exact philosophy when buying my cards too. I buy a lot of perfectly centered PSA 8’s instead of 9’s and save a load of $$$. For example, I bought a 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson PSA 8 for $325, 1981 Topps Joe Montana PSA 8 for $400, and 1986 Topps Jerry Rice PSA 8 for $300. All perfectly centered as those prices are at the high end of PSA 8. If I would have bought those cards in PSA 9’s, they would been $2,000 each. So I was able to get perfectly centered Hall of Fame rookie cards a grade lower and saved about $5,000. I recently bought a 2003 Topps Chrome Lebron PSA 8 for $1,100. The front of the card looks like a PSA 10 as it’s perfectly centered. If I bought a PSA 9, it would have cost me $2,000+. The key is be patient and you’ll find the lower grade centered card. I’m moving into vintage next, with the same philosophy as you. Low grade, well-centered. Just trying to figure out if I’m going to delve into just vintage baseball or vintage baseball, basketball, football and hockey?

Clemente would do this routine when he got into the batters box where he would roll his neck to get loose. It was his iconic routine and it’s commemorated on the 72 card. Go look at some vintage footage.

Huge 1971 / 2020 Heritage collector myself. Vintage is definitely drawing me in!

Absolutely agree with everything you said!! So glad I found your videos~!!!!!But I couldn't find your ebay listings. Didn't you say 31414sportscards?? THanks Jay

My 1965 Clemente just came back from PSA. A perfectly centered PSA 6. I have a dead on 67, 68 and 69 Mantles also.

What's up dude ? I'm digging the video and the content. I looked up vintage baseball card collecting and I saw this video. It's not worth the risk to collect today's players or buying autograph prospects cards. Vintage is the way to go. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching your videos.

I loved watching your video at 2x speed! It was awesome 😊

Great examples! Sick video man

I take advantage by not looking at the grade at all. I love low grade cards. You have a great idea in selling high and buying low.

One of the best baseball card video videos I’ve seen in a while. You’ve summarized where I’m heading with the cards to collect as well. Next video more on how to start selling ?!

Best baseball card video ever.

Vintage cards with great eye appeal are what I try to find, I love getting raw cards at a good price that I believe will grade mid-grade but have great eye appeal. I think I need to also start looking at buying graded cards with the same philosophy. Absolutely love your 71 Jackson man that is a beautiful card.

this video, is exactly how I collect, been doing for 40 years, just last couple years I made the same change you made, really nice pickups.

Great stuff! Love seeing all these great cards. 1963 Warren Spahn. Love that one! Always enjoy and thanks for sharing. Lots of great stuff.

Your enthusiasm cracks me up. Every. Single. Time.

Love the video! This is my philosophy all the way when buying vintage. Give me well centered 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s all day long! All I care about is great centering and no creases. That makes the great eye appeal. I just picked up a beautiful 1958 Aaron SGC 2 for $100. Corners are rounded a bit but it is dead centered and no creases. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely awesome! Way too many cards to comment on them all but watched every minute and you know I was smiling the entire time! ♥️👊🤙🤙

This latest video has to be one of your best videos! Your genuine enthusiasm of low grade high eye appeal is screaming out from your whole body 👏👏👏

Great advise to all! Buy cards because you love them.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Absolutely loved this video Man double Shaka I think I'll watch this card again!!!! Dylan your passion is unmatched you set the bar!!!! Whoooo !!

Love this video. Only thing I’ll say for me personally, when looking at a card online, centering is definitely the thing that sticks out. But when looking at a card in hand, it takes a back seat for me to most of the other categories. Big difference for me between looking at a card online vs in person. Interesting discussion with our lives being more web based now.

I don't know how I found your channel but I'm glad I did and first of all, your energy is awesome, this could be a video of unicorns eating asparagus and I would probably watch it just because of the personality alone! 😂 Anyways great video cheers from Melbourne Florida

This was a fantastic video my friend. I love seeing your awesome collection and the excitement it brings you. You're an asset to this community.

I can understand I guess if you are moving higher grade (7 range +) cards that are less than perfectly centered for lower grade (3 - 5 range) cards that are better centered. But on the whole, mild and moderately OC cards do not bother me. 1. It's how they were made. (Yeah, yeah, everyone uses that as an excuse. But it's true. And in a world riddled by TPG scandal, OC cards can actually provide an additional measure of authenticity pacification. I digress...) 2. The cost savings can be dramatic, especially compared to the crowd that wants only NM, centered cards. 3. To me, unless just like 100/0 or miscut, mostly slightly OC cards just don't look that bad. I'd rather have a card that is 70/30 s-s and has a nice image and color than one that is perfectly centered, but has focus or color or print problems. That's just me.

Vintage baseball , eye appeal. Spot-on. You are not wrong! I remember that in the early 1980s, off center was not even an issue. I remember thinking the same as a kid with the 1979 Topps photos of Cobb and Hornsby on cards. That MVP card was not in the real 1983 Donruss set that I remember.

This was so awesome to watch! I love that you're going in this direction, I don't necessarily care as much about centering as you do, but I 100% agree that the best purchases out there are high eye appeal vintage cards with low technical grades. BTW, when the video started I was so expecting you to walk through the door in a smoking jacket or something 😄

You have so many stunning examples of lower-grade cards that look amazing! That Mantle Allstar is perfect. I am also a lover of the floating head. I have been on the hunt for that '71 Jackson card. You are teasing a cat's pajama card! I may have to have advanced notice on that one... Expect a text. Awesome stuff, Dylan! 🤙🤙

the 63 spahn psa 7 to me is much nicer than the 4 i look more for sharp corners more than centering but thats me

Dylan another killer video!!! Mind blown 🤯 You are the Dick Tracey of card collecting! Love all these cards, too many to discuss! Mantle all star is an absolute stunner!! Thanks so much for the VR, your the man!!! I’ll check out the Clemente peel off, it’s on my list of Clemente cards still to get. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Awesome video Dylan! It's like seeing a bunch of cards like Adam at Vintage Sanctuary finds. Only with your energy and enthusiasm, I feel fired up too. When I finish Adam's videos, I feel like I just finished meditating. Great video! Enjoyed it as always! Every once in awhile I check your eBay store just to see what you are selling and I was shocked to see you selling a Yount. I didn't think you'd ever sell any.

Hey Dylan, most of my cards are raw with slight imperfections and I love them all so I understand where you’re coming from. It’s your hobby and you got to do what you want that makes you happy. Glad your not going the other way and taking a very nice looking 4 and trading it in for any 7 just because of the number on the slab.

Dylan, awesome points about understanding and taking advantage of the grading scale! I'm more of a corners guy but nonetheless I am so happy for you! Looking forward to your cat's pajama! Clearly, this is next level cool speech! I'm still acclimating to cherry sic! Been contemplating, for example, if a sweet vintage card with an orange background would be more appropriately described as citrus sic instead of cherry sic? Can we mix and match? For example, cherry sic pajama card?! Well, I need to stay in my lane and not risk an attempt at cool speech that would totally expose me as uncool! You have such an AMAZING collection, but I love the fact that you are not satisfied and are doing the work to mold it into precisely the type of collection you want! You are Da Cherry Sic Pajama Man! 😊

Nice! You're collection is really getting fine-tuned.

Awesome video Dylan! I know you said your response to my contest, but realistically this whole video was almost perfect for my response. This is essentially what I do when looking for cards, but just in much lower conditions and raw. I do it because I can buy more cards that I want. Really happy for you to make this switch and get more cards you want for your collection. Awesome bro!👊🏻

Do you suggest buying raw and grading them? Or buy them graded?

You think sgc is a good idea for grading vintage?
