Started collecting when I was a teenager in the early 80's tapering off thru undergrad and grad school. I focused on vintage back then and I was fortunate enough during that time to buy many really nice cards from the 50's and 60's at shows using part-time job money. I Purchased Mays and Mantle, Williams, etc. cards that are worth hundreds now for much, much less back in the day. I bought sets each year since but only recently returned to vintage collecting. The increase in value of those vintage cards is great but that is not what drives me. The history and passion for the game is. I played fairly high level HS ball and my son did as well so that just adds to the whole love for collecting. David

Thanks bro this is the second time I'm using your video to Setup my PSVR But this time I'm going fullll

Vintage is far and away the smarter buy. Modern is too overproduced. Yes there are some nice modern cards but its much safer to buy old established players. Players like the Tampa guy who i wont name are prime examples of the risk. Good video! That Maris in low grade is on my want list too.

Thanks for the info bro

Beautiful cards, thanks for showcasing them. More collectors need to be aware of these 1/1 cards!

Any vintage cards are great except the 2020s heritage. I don't know what Topps was thinking when they came out with these cards!

Hey man , I’m away to buy these just starting so new to all this. When it says on the card 12/75 or something does that mean there’s only 75 of the cards made and you have the 12th card ? Might be a stupid question 😂

The main reason I focus of pre 80s cards is simple to me.. After that era, folks saw and kept cards in good shape as they saw them as valuable objects.. If you have a nice card from the 70s back it's a very rare item. The bottom line is for me those old cards are tough.. You will never regret owning something everyone else probably doesnt.

Great video. Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if you can help me with this 2023 Topps MJ Baseball Sketch. I can't find out who drew it. Looks like there is a Z and two, O's in the name. It's a sick sketch. Also, do you know if this is Topps Series 1 or 2. As you mentioned there is minimal info from Topps...

But how can I use it wirelessly on Xbox series x

When everything is premium, nothing is… modern cards are gonna fall apart longterm. What’s more rare: a card that has a 1/1, 1/5, 1/10, 1/15, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200, 1/500, and base variant (all of which went from pack to PSA immediately) or a card that was literally just seen as a gimmick to sell gum 70 years ago, that no one thought would make them rich, that still managed a PSA 10 decades later when PSA came about?

I can’t hear anything on mine

How do you do it on m3 mac

thank you dude this helped ALOT!

The reason to collect vintage over modern to ultra modern is that vintage cards are tried and true. There is very little risk of losing money if you plan to hold long-term. I'm getting rid of my ultra modern for more vintage the only modern cards I'm keeping are my mid 1990's baseball and basketball inserts and key rookie cards. This ultra modern isn't going to hold any future value when vintage cards have one Maybe 2-3 rookie cards vs all these junk parallel rookie cards are numbering in the thousands for key players rookie cards. They have flooded the Market just like the junk wax with these rookie cards today. These manufacturers today do not care about the collectors they care about profit. 1979 and older are the 1000% way to collect even some 1980-1985 cards are ok anything after 1986 is shit

Any idea how to get it to work with an Xbox 360? Do you think this would work? Headset 8-pin port -> 3.5mm wire -> 2.5mm adapter -> 360 controller for mic Headset 3.5mm port to tv for game audio

I’ve got the Catholic guilt thing going, I could never trim 😊… But to me, vintage cards are historical artifacts - we have no right to alter the cards.

Hey fellas.

I just pulled a 1/1 Mike Trout 2024 Topps Artist Sketch Card!

I think we are in another junk wax era. They are printing way too many cards and autos. It’s nice to grow as a collector and it seems the more you grow the further back you go and start to value those who are the greatest of all time.

Welcome to vintage, new sub here.

I bought a 1962 topps "coaching for the dodgers" Babe Ruth card ina psa 4 for $15 thought that was so good my first vintage card too

Selling the JRod?? lol

@Nate told you Yankees don't suck! 😂

Dope 😮😎💪

Great time chatting guys! Thanks for having me on Nate!

That was youtube gold right there. We solved all the hobbiest problems in one video! 😂

Awesome video, Nate! Sorry I missed you this week.

Bro the final comment tho! 😂😢😂 Go YANKEES!!!!!

Peewee! One of the greatest Kentuckians to ever do it

I look at grades as a guideline as to rarity and value, but I don’t think they tell the whole story of a card. I’ve been buying the cards I think look the best, even with creases, and I have zero regrets. Something about vintage cards with flaws makes them appear more authentic. Excellent tips, I don’t mind gambling on cheaper vintage to buy raw and hope to grade high, but I stay away from the high dollar stuff.

Those two Reeses you showed are fantastic cards. I liked the tip of having a range of graded cards with you when looking at raw cards in person -- a 3, a 5, a 7, etc. When you were saying that, it made me think of irons in a golf bag LOL, but almost like a golf club, you kind of need the right slab for the right comp on the spot. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the shout-out, Nate. Great cards you showed! I can't figure out that Playball Reese. Usually, a 1 looks like it was run over by a truck! Great video, my friend.

Hi I 99% Agree with you men and like to hear Billy. The 71,72,73 Clemente and the 76 Bench are some of the all-time greatest. imh. Thanks Jim. Steve Splendid only collects 4 cards of each player and he picked the 71 & 73 Clemente. Thanks again.

I live in an area with no card shows, so i am thrilled with ur comments. I need to know good sellers for raw 👏💃

Thanks for having me on again, Nate. I really enjoyed it. We'll work the bugs out.

Great video, Nate! Congrats on 1k!

I liked it very much. I am new subscriber 👏👏

Sounds like it’s going to be a great podcast Nate! Such a trying field of work you’re in, my wife is a job coach for people with disabilities, so I can only imagine being a teacher. My collecting break took place at the end of the junk wax until the last year or so, so you were collecting on the years I’m missing. It’s been exciting learning about these lost collections. You’ve already given me a lot of great info on Vintage collecting and I’ve started picking up a few finally. I look forward to the next podcast!

I'm definitely excited to learn more about sketch cards, Nate. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge of them with us.

Love vintage. I just bought the 58 Reese in a SGC 7. I’d like to get a nicely graded 1954 Spahn.

Sweet returns!! Maris is one of my favorites!

Awesome cards, Nate! It's awesome to get a 3 on a T206. Great submission!

post a want list.. I have tons of vintage

These are way cool, Nate. I didn't realize what they were at first when you were talking about them. Super awesome.

Thanks for having me on Nate. I had a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.

Don't worry guys, I already got a better camera for the next video lol. Hope you enjoy!

Great overview to why Vintage is great! I think you hit on all the points as to why I focus on vintage. Just found your channel thanks to the algorithm.

Seems like a really good box and I really like this year’s Topps design. I try to stick to vintage set building. However, we buy and open multiple boxes of Topps Holiday every year. My family loves the variations/SPs. I also grew up in the 90s and will always enjoy the ‘89 design!
