The History of Baseball Cards

This is my version of the history baseball cards. This video takes you from the very first baseball card in 1863 through the boom of the late 1980s and early 90s, and into thoughts on today's market.

    I don’t know how else to say this...but this is the best KZread video I’ve watched in a while. Thanks so much for the useful information. Since I’m a teenager, I don’t know a lot about the hobby but my dad got me and my brother interested in collecting in 2007.

    Baseball cards used to be a parallel world to me. I know it's there, but I never get to it. I think ball games are exciting, but I never understood why people collect cards for no actual purpose. But after this video, I began to get the idea about these cards. How it caught people's attention and the economy behind it. I think this is a great introduction and review to me! There's plenty of things I've learned. Thank you so much for upload this video.

    Thank you Silver Jackify! You covered a lot in under 33min. As a hobbyist during childhood in the late 80's and early 90's, this helped me understand the bigger picture of the tradition. I also sensed a lot of crossover with the history of comic books. Thanks again!

    Love this card history video! I’m pretty familiar with the hobby from 1952 on but didn’t know much pre 52. Have to admit this video sent me on a wonderful chase down the T206, Old Judge and Play Ball rabbit hole. Pleasantly surprised that there are affordable SCG and PSA cards from these sets to be found. Thanks again for taking the time to do the research and make this video!

    Loved seeing the Donny Baseball cards! The Beckett was the go too! When you were talking about the 86 Donruss from the 1990 Beckett I instantly flipped that page in my head just some great memories back when you could buy cards do you like what you talked about work out the price move on you have a Mike Schmidt rookie now you have a Mike Schmidt rookie but there’s a little ding in the corner it’s just not fun anymore. Do you ever recall sports collectors digest? It was in a newspaper type form. My dad traveled to Chicago for work ( I grew up in Iowa) he would grab this newspaper printed sports collectors digest it was in the vertical format. Just the memories of looking at your cards that was the sweet spot for collecting regardless of value. The 52 topps I just absolutely adore! It’s not even the prices it’s the quality and just obviously the beauty! Along with seeing those signatures People were grateful with the signature today’s world it’s just sloppy. Thanks for your video loved it

    The prices listed in the Beckett magazines aren't values base on "mint" vs "near mint" condition cards, they're the high average selling price for what the cards are going for versus the low average price. In post-1981 cards it's stated in the magazines that the prices are for "mint condition" cards, while pre-1981 cards are for "near-mint" cards.
