Talking Sports Card Collecting- "Short" Winded Episode 3 with Shane of

Рет қаралды 1,198

Ай бұрын

While the series is called "Short Winded," I realize that I still tend to be "Long Winded." I just can't help myself when talking about cards with friends in the hobby. In this episode, I have a fantastic guest in Shane of ‪@shoeboxlegends‬ and have so much fun hearing his thoughts and sharing my responses to his questions. We cover everything from KZfaq channels, Jackie Robinson, playing youth sports, baseball, hockey, and even music. If you aren't a subscriber to Shane's channel, I highly recommend doing so, as he has a fantastic collection and always shares nuggets of wisdom that are extremely entertaining.

Oh my gosh so much to say here. 1. Shane is an absolute legend 2. Im humbled and honored to have been mention by Shane thank you my friend 3. Round table pizza is the best on earth 4. Graig these are hands down my favorite videos you do keep em coming and forget being short winded I wish these were 5 hrs long 😊. 5. Its guys like Shane that have made my collection turn into something I never even imagined, the way he goes about collecting mini collections and sharing them on video and talking through why each card means something and why he believes in that card just resinates with me. 6. Graig you really have build such a great channel and a community that is so pure and for the right reasons. Everyday I know I will have a great video I can listen to and learn something from and without any sponsors to fast forward through thank you 👊👊. 7. It so happens that Josh Peeps is going to be on our hobby palooza show this Saturday 🤯😜🤙 8. I will use Pepino mans words here “ keep collecting cards forever ese chow”

I think part of what makes this so fun is the fact that I’ve already made huge profits betting that Graig will not finish the questions in five minutes! 🤣🤣🤣 Graig, I love the fact that you’re trying to be short winded when your natural tendency is to expand. I am the exact same way, which I think is one reason why your short winded episodes really appeal to me! 😊

Graig, my apologies. I was one of the people who said, you should have asked, Skaught questions, and to hear more from him, so viewers could learn more about his thoughts on things. But wait. Why am I apologizing? I stand by, it was also a great idea. Shane, is a good guy, and has a really good channel too! You're 1 for 3. .333 batting average. HOF. If you ended it there. 😉

Hey Graig, enjoyed this episode with you and Shane. Fun to learn more about both of you. Btw you have to see Pearl Jam in concert. Shane will tell you it’s the best concert hands down. The setlist changes every show and PJ will play songs from the entire catalog. It makes for an amazing experience every time. Pony up for a good seat via the secondary ticket market closer to the show date, if they are coming through your area, and thank me later. Best, Matt Peaslee

I have been collecting vintage cards for a few years now, but I am particularly intrigued by the black players that integrated based from 1947-1959. I'd like to see you do a video that features these pioneering players and their rookie cards. I have a rookie card for most of the players with the exception of Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, and a couple of others. Spoiler alert, two of the players who integrated their teams do not have any cards. Thanks, Graig.

@@MidLifeCards I agree, it is always fun talking cards - and card "stuffs." I'm not sure why, but seemingly hard (at least me LOL) to find others in the #cardmunity to collab with, maybe it's just temporary or something.
