Mike, looking forward to seeing you! 3 of your 5 priority cards are fairly high on my desired card list as well, my collecting brother! 😊👊

Good luck Mike. Hope you find at least 2 of your top 5. Sounds like a well planned trip.

Always appreciate the videos. What are the details for the Thursday evening event you guys are hosting?

@gridironstars 25 күн бұрын

You'll enjoy the HOF. I'm partial to football but you'll appreciate it. They used to have an awesome hof rookie card collection on display, not sure if still there. Enjoy!

I also arrive on Tuesday afternoon flying in from Orlando. I look forward to seeing you again. If you like music, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is great to visit. This is National #10 for me, and my third time in Cleveland.

I’ve been to the rock n roll hall of fame twice. It’s cool.

Do you know anything about the theives from the Dallas show? I can’t believe they think they can move any of those. Also....what cards do you need from 1979 Topps ? I built a NM-MT set years ago and have some commons left.

@BaseballCollector Ай бұрын

I know that they are going to get caught. I just picked up both of the 79’s that I needed. They are on the way.

Here's what I would do as a goal...considering what just happened. I would MAKE SPECIAL EFFORTS to keep my shit safe and not be ROBBED. I would also make efforts to not get SCAMMED. But hey....do what you will. Ultimately, the REAL question is...WHAT is THE National doing for security and prevention of theft?....unlike Dallas (although one can argue, it wasn't really the show's fault.....). THAT'S the ONLY Q&A anyone should be asking. And yes, years ago I did the National as a dealer in Cleveburg (twice)....and sure enough....the one dealer lost a signed autograph of some HOFer...... Fortunately, no one stole anything from us.... PSA consistent? About the ONLY thing consistent is their slabs, and that their grading prices continue to rise.....certainly NOT their grading abilities.

Fair points.

can i ask why do u say on wed u get a dealer pass at the national ? just curious… and can I ask what does that provide you on wed that is special ? I’d think most dealers r not selling at deals at the very start of the show..

You would be surprised how many deals I get on Wednesday morning before the doors even open to the public

Mike, Great list of cards on your list. 🍻. I’m also looking for the t202 Hassan Cobb w/ Jennings. Still holding off on the 41 PB Joe D as it‘s last one needed for his run of “mainstream” releases. Love all the Perez Steele HOF signed postcards. This will be my 1st Nat since 1988 when my father took me. I’ll be bringing my 15-year-old son to Cleveland so will be following him around for 99%. This will be his show like my dad did w/ me in ‘88.

On the wait list for The Diamond King hoping somehow I get a ticket. Excited for the KZfaq event Thursday night. I cannot wait for the National. Good luck finding your want list. I usually only have one or two I specifically target. Love the double Cobb Mecca want to get that one someday but kind of looking for a Tinker/Evers/Chance Mecca at The National. Wow amazing how close you are on your 4 decades set congrats.

Hi Mike, looking forward to meeting you at the National. Hope you pick up some of the cards you're looking for. I am working on my list also.

@ericstanley5512 Ай бұрын

Whatever you do don’t think about comps when purchasing a card. Remember it’s ruining the hobby.

@BaseballCollector 29 күн бұрын

I actually said that the obsession with comps is ruining the hobby. And the playing the percentage of comps game. There always needs to be some starting point for the negotiation of buying a card, but it is not the end all be all.

Are you setting up? Love watching the channel. It will be my 3rd and last before my son goes to college. Also, any tips on the trade nights?

@BaseballCollector Ай бұрын

No. I’m not setting up. Why can’t you go to the national anymore after your son goes to college? And I don’t really do the trade nights, so no real Tips there. Sorry.

@RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector Ай бұрын

Mike, love the update on the four decade set! You're getting close. Have you thought of one day making it a five decade set by adding the 40s? I bet you already have most of them. Have fun in Canton, I went in 2019. I've been to all four (baseball, football, basketball and hockey). Would like to go back to Cooperstown though cause it's been around 30 years since my last visit. Hopefully you come back with some great cards from The National.

When I go to shows i’m not targting cards… I let the cards come to me.. at the recent chantilly show I just waked the floor and a few cards came to me I wanted… one was the bob cousy rookie card i saw on the 3rd day sunday… did not see it the other days.. not on my radar at all but saw it was so good looking in a PSA 6 and bought it...
