Congrats on some great cards Mike! Especially the Delong. Excited to follow along on this collection. As a set collector, I loved seeing the swath of T206, Goudey, and T205

Those 1982 K-Mart sets are the real sleepers. Having those bad boys graded could pay for this whole adventure.

What a collection...you get to add two Gehrigs including a Delong which is amazing - then a Ruth and TW on top of it. Would take 5 years to add those in nice shape for even more advanced collectors. Going to be hard to beat this experience. Congrats!

Wow!!!! Mike, thank you so much for sharing one of the best finds of vintage cards I have ever seen. So many awesome cards, box after box. The Ruth’s and Gehrig’s are my favorite. I agree with you on keeping the card with the most meaning rather than the grade. That’s why we keep the story with the card. Harder to share the story when the card is gone.

Hi Mike. Wow, what an amazing bunch of cards. Those Ruth and Gehrig cards are awesome. Very cool that you and Chris worked all of this out. I think it was nice of John to host this event and it's fun to see such an amazing group of cards together. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good luck with the grading and looking forward to more video's about this find.

Love seeing your excitement for your pile! Wow just the express submission is insane! Both of your channels are going to be fun to watch as these come back. I am rarely jealous in this hobby but getting a chance to go through a collection like that - that is a true dream!!!! Congrats on buying a truly great collection. Hope between you and Chris’s videos I will be able to get something from it. It is cool when you know the story behind some of your cards.

"I hate the word Grail" - he says in his video titled "What's Next For the Grail Collection??!!" about a collection self described as "the Grail Collection". 😂 Kidding aside congrats on the awesome find, definitely seems like one of those finds we've all dreamed about in one way or the other (my recurring collectors dreaming is finding a stash of pmg, platinum medallion and credentials type 90s Jordans). And it's a strong testament to the power of developing relationships and connections for sure!

Hey Mike. Since you like to wear a hat when you do your videos (bald is beautiful, I'm proud to be one too). You would look great in one of those new Texas Rangers hats with the gold "T" and the 2023 WS Champ logo on the side. Congrats on that collection.

Wow, just an unbelievable collection. Beautiful cards regardless of the shape. Some I really wanted to ask about, but too much going on. $o many I know I don’t even need to con$ider. I’ve been drooling since Tuesday night. It was great to see you guys working together and having fun. Guess I’ll have to be watching the Greg Morris Cards eBay store within the next month. Thanks for letting us share in the fun. Looking forward to the updates.

So when the grade stuff comes back are you also selling those via Morris or are you going to sell them in another way? I keep seeing a few I'd be interested in (depending on grade/price) so wanted to know how to track them down when they hit the market. Congrats again on the score.
@RickAcostaDodgerCardCollector2 ай бұрын
Great cards, Mike! Definitely an amazing collection that you and Chris bought. It would be difficult for me to sell the some of those upper echelon cards but I totally get it's something you have to do. Did you decide against keeping the Greenberg RC? The DeLong Gehrig and the 33 Goudey Ruth are just special. Again, congratulations!
