Mickey Mantle is my favorite athlete of all time. It all began in the 80’s when I was a little boy and my dad began to teach me about baseball. His hero growing up was Mickey, and some of my fondest memories are the stories he told me about the great number 7. Over the years, many players have come and gone, but to us, there is not a player yet to match the speed, power & charisma of The Mick. Thank you for this video!

Mickey was a magnificent athlete to watch! Everything he did was so graceful. The way he swung, ran, caught the ball, threw, the way he jogged, the way he walked and dug in at the plate. Even the way he knelt in the on deck circle! So ssd he didn't take car of himself and died too early! Thank God we have some great video of his playing days.

My favorite videos are the vintage box breaks (1980 and before) because not only are cards opened that I remembered opening as a kid (I can remember like it was yesterday opening up cards in the 70s), but it's amazing to me how cards 40 and more years old have sat undisturbed in wax packs all these years and a box break allows you to be the first to set eyes on it. Also, the idea that what some kid used to scrape a few cents for to open up back then has become such a valuable item that adults cherish enough to buy a box and open up wax packs themselves.

Hey guys! The contest is open until November 26th at midnight. So be sure to enter before then! Also, the MK is for a pencil mark on the back, not for being miscut. Thanks for watching!

I love the history of cards and psa cards sells like you do. I am a history buff so any card history video hooks me. That is how I came across your channel by searching card history in the search. Keep doing videos my friend. It is the highlight of my week.

I saw Mantle in the title and thought good god another Mantle video buuuuuuuut you killed it. Your style is great. I feel like I'm watching KZread 15 years ago before everything was overproduced and annoying. It's always cool to see you guys pull back the curtain and give us a look at your pc, setup for filming (you kinda already did that) and killer display rooms/closets/shelving that you have decked out with cards. I've picked up so many ideas from those types of videos. It doesn't matter if you're rocking an old washing machine door screwed to a few mannequin legs with cards on top. Original content is original content period.

😂 Thanks for the feedback! I need to re-organize them shelves lol

Box breaks of older cards. Love the nostalgia. Reminds me when I was young. Love your videos, makes me go back and check all my cards.

I like to feel like I’m learning something about sports cards when I watch KZread videos. Your PSA video brought me to your channel because it was very detailed and informative. I like watching box breaks because it gives me a small sample size of what to expect and helps me make an educated guess on if I should buy or wait till the next series. Value videos are neat to watch but honestly Im not a fan of the robot voice narrations. Finally I enjoy learning about prospects or projected players that could hold future values. I don’t follow farm league and don’t have time to watch every game (MLB,NFL,NBA) so hearing which players you are following or prospects you think have potential gives me a reason to go back and look through my cards to find their Bowman 1sts or RCs...Finding said cards is almost as fun as cracking packs and is essentially free because I’ve already purchased them so it feels like a huge bonus. Thanks for the giveaway and keep up the good work.

Some of my favorite video's are box breaks. I really enjoy watching new breaks and I also like "throwback" breaks. I think it's exciting to see what products used to look like, what you were "guaranteed" to get in a box, and how much card designs have changed over the years. It's cool to see breaks of boxes that I would not be able to afford such as Flawless, National Treasures, etc. Thanks for the opportunity at the giveaway and keep up the great work. I watched your 1991 Topps Micro set video the other day. I have a set and found the Chipper Jones! It was very off center though, but it was fun to look at those cards again. They are very tough to handle lol.

My favorite type of card videos are the ones like this...i was a big fan of the shaq and nolan ryan videos you did on their cards...i love learning about cards and the history of them....also, knowing the "pop" is really cool...thank you for what you do!

Thanks for sharing this video and more. I grew up collecting in the mid 80's to early 90's. I really enjoy the cards from that error being opened, the history around the cards and seeing how some of the junk wax became so valuable. Keep doing a great job!

It's exciting to see the cards that everyone thought were junk slowly rising in value! Thanks for the feedback, sir!

There is one KZread channel that combines pack breaks with information on the players that are pulled from each pack. It’s usually from the 1980’s but it’s always informative and entertaining. I enjoy hearing about lesser known players that time has forgotten about. Especially those who may have only appeared on a card maybe once or twice.

Oh yeah that's a good idea, I can see those videos being over 30 minutes long!

I like the historical videos that educate us. This teaches us how the hobby has grown and will grow in the future. A close second are the top 25 cards in a category.

I like the preview box break videos because it gives you a look at each product so you can decide if you like a certain release of cards before you buy them

I enjoy the box break videos! Just watching you open each pack allows me to relive memories of when I was younger and the excitement of cracking open each pack!!😁⚾️

Congrats on the 4000 subs mate! Im from Australia and love the price guide videos, and really enjoyed this one because of the extra info you gave. I also enjoy box breaks and pack rips as well though. Keep up the great work.

I am just getting back into card collecting and I honestly like your videos like this which describes the history of a card/player/set. I think the story behind the card gives it more value than just monetary alone.

I actually like the type that you're doing right now. Im new to collecting. When I was in 3rd grade my dad stole about 1500 cards from me that my grandfather gave to me. I see a lot of cards I used to have myself when I watch them. I really like to know the back story if the player and the card being shown. Like I said i just started trying to collect again. At first these videos made me sick when I seen how much those cards are worth now. But in a good sense it's helped humble me or rather see that I was having a problem with making paper money my value system but the spirit of God in me always corrects me when I start going the wrong way about it So now I enjoy these videos, one for information kus I'm a chick that used to race dirt bikes lol I don't know enough. But your videos are also refreshing brings me back to being a kid ya know. I'm not sure if I've answered you correctly but I thought wth I'll try it, can't hurt. It would be super cool to have a card that had value lol. Your videos are great for research and entertainment. The box openings are not my thing. Kus is always boxes and cards I wish I could afford and could never lol 800+$ a pack!? Crazy. Anyway thanks ginger the chance. I've been subscribed for a few weeks or so and recommended it to my old roommate who has a card site on Ebay. But they're bums lol ok im done. Sorry so long. God bless.

I enjoy watching “Top 10” card videos. It’s great seeing collectors best cards. Thanks for the opportunity!

Love anything Mickey Mantle. Would love to add that card to my pc. Would be crazy feeling to own any of those cards! Thanks for your videos. They are very educational.

I've had the bell on your channel since I came across your most valuable videos a month ago. The top auction value videos you do are interesting because they tell more of a story than just typical box breaks.

These videos rock! I enjoy listening to them in the background as I sort and organize collections. I really like the most valuable card videos, but I'd love to see a monthly psa top 10 grossing list and a top 10 players list.

Really enjoy the videos. I'm new to PSA grading so your videos are quite helpful. As far as the videos I like the most is box breaks. Almost like a bunch of small Christmas presents in a box.

Top 25 videos are great. Keeps me hooked for the entire video. Thanks

My favorite types of card videos are the the videos about players who I loved to collect as a child. For example Michael Jordan and Ken Griffey Jr. cards. It brings me back to my childhood of being on the school bus or at my buddies house looking and trading each other’s favorite players cards. Good Times.

Loved the Helpful Detective! I really enjoy the videos of garage sale/flea market/bargain finds. I get to experience other people’s great discoveries and learn about lots of different, and interesting cards!

Classic Cards Those are some of my favorites too! I’m going to start doing those in the future when I got treasure hunting! Thanks for the comment! Stay tuned!

That ‘58 mantle with aaron is a very nice card too. For the giveaway my favorite videos are the educational videos. Where they teach or talk about prices, card population, rareness and what sets have which rookies in them as well. Good to know these thing before you buy a box or two. I also don’t have a channel myself but maybe I start a light video of pack openings since I’ve been getting a lot of nice boxes of baseball cards. Baseball is the only i collect. I grew up in cuba and mantle has always been my dad’s favorite player so i like to show him old cards whenever i see them. He will definitely watch this video.

I really like when you do Top 25 and value it sold for .Great information. I like your other videos explaining how to submit cards, well I guess I just like all your videos! Great information. Thank You

To be honest I like your videos exactly how theg are now. I enjoy watching videos on vintage cards,rare,and oddball with a brief history on them or where they came from. In other words just like this Mickey Mantle video. It had everything and i saw a one i hadn't seen before. Thanks man keep them coming, I've seen all your videos to date they're very entertaining

I love the history of the baseball cards I’ve been collecting for three years what you have taught me as alert me a lot about all the college history I appreciate you

I like the videos like this. I also like videos where people open old packs/boxes. Also, I like to see when people have gotten nice cards at flea markets, auctions, or wherever. I like these types of videos because I enjoy seeing people get cards that I either had or wanted to get. Thanks

Enjoyed the video. These type of videos catch my attention. Thanks for taking the time to do the research for us.

Hello from Maryland! My favorite type of videos are the box breaks hands down! Mostly because I don’t have the money to buy certain brands if any as much but to see the cards pulled is just as amazing..but when it’s live and it’s some huge pull? I go nuts! Plus seeing sought after players pulled as well! Thank you for the amazing videos!

Hey there, I am a new subscriber and haven't collected cards in over 25 years. I recently almost lost half of my cards when a supposed to be friend was going to help me sell them, moved without telling me. Long story short I got them back. I haven't seen many videos other then yours so I guess my favorite one is Top 25 Most Valuable Baseball Cards from the 1970s. I have some of the ones in that video and was thinking about driving to the PSA office in Woodbridge NJ and seeing what grades they get. Keep up the great videos.

I love your videos! My favorites include player top sold and I also like vintage box breaks. You have such a good vibe!

I love the "Top 25 most valuable cards" such as 1970 that way I can know which cards to buy to expand my current collection. I enjoy your baseball channel because you are very knowledgeable and give many hints as to how to send cards to PSA in proper containers, etc. For future videos, I would love to see you price out Roberto Clemente since I have his rookie card.

My favorite sports card videos is this one I have a 69 topps yellow Mickey mantle and a 57 topps yankees power hitters with mantle and Berra pictured. I love all your videos, great job.

Love your videos! My favorite type of card videos are ones with history about cards, like this particular video!

Hah, I've had a 1968 Topps Game Mantle for over 30 years (since I was a kid). I have always kind of written it off because I thought you bought them like in a deck to somehow play the "game" (like in a box with a board). When I learned from you just now that it was a pack pulled insert, that changes everything. It's like an entirely legit card to me now. I also instantly added it to my next grading submission. Thank you. It's like I received a new Mantle this morning. Gonna pull it out box now.

Thanks for posting. I love Mantle cards just posted 19 of mine yesterday. Good information.

Hi PSA Collector! I love your videos! My favorite are of box breaks of older hobby boxes and when the breaker talks about the hot rookies or all-stars of the year they are breaking.

Thank you for the generous giveaway, I like a lot of videos of breaks, new product openings, PSA most valuable eras. I really enjoy your Most valuable era videos, makes me wonder if I have any of the cards in my collection.

Great video 👍 I enjoy the top 25 videos as well as videos showing how other collectors store and display their collection.

I like watching baseball and football videos because i am a collector and also love videos on the history of cards and the players. Keep up the good work Rob 👍🏻

I Enjoy all the Videos, My Favorite videos are the top 25 videos, I started collecting when i was a kid in the 80's but really wasn't into value, just the fun of it with friends, I have recently gotten back into collecting and am lost with all these wax cards i have, But have found 5/25 in your junk wax video, So Im really stoked that there are some that are still worth something. I also love box breaking and when someone has a big baseball mail day video or PSA Card Returns, I grab a cup of coffee and could watch for hours, thanks man, keep up the good work

Thanks for the feedback, Robert! I think today's collecting is definitely motivated by value. That's all everyone talks about anymore, how much is this worth, what's the value of a 1 of 1 etc. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I like to focus on the stuff that rare or the early 90's inserts that are tough to find in gem mint condition. I'll be posting a PSA return video in a month or so so stay posted for that!

I love how you Talk about the history of the other card for those that don’t know anything about baseball now they know and for myself the more knowledge I know baseball cards Haber I can price my cards so thank you so much for the history

I enjoyed the top 35 Mantle card video. Mick was my favorite player and card as a collector. Im 70 so i Remember 5 ¢ packs. Thanks for this video. I am not a fan of graded cards most of my collection is raw and consist of 50s and 60s era cards tops sets 60 to 63 and 69 topps sets. Thank you

I always wondered how cards from the 50s and 60s were able to maintain mint status, back in the old days cards were put in shoe boxes and had rubber bands wrapped around them. There were no card savers, one touch, and plastic sleeves.

@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR

Not every pack from the '50s and '60s has been opened. In fact, there are many that still remain unopened. MY theory is that these cards were pulled from fresh packs after PSA started grading cards and submitted. Tons of collections pop up every now and then with cards in incredible condition as well 👍

i love the ranking videos you do, it helps me make my videos, you can see them on breeze cards. i did top 100, 70's, 80;s &90's. did top 60 of the 60;s and completing top 50 of the 50's tomorrow. thanks to you. you were a great help and inspiration!

I like the most valuable videos. Its cool and interesting to see the different cards and how they rank

This was the first video I’ve watched on cards and found it very informative... I recently inherited my dads collection after he past away we use to collect when I was I kid but I’ve been so out of touch with how cards are now... and have gotten the bug again since I’ve been going through all his cards and started buying some again... He has a Mantle that’s what made me pick this video

I like videos that give me a history of the cards. The videos you have put out inspire me to expand my collection. Great content. Thank you!!!

Ive always been a fan of historical videos of cards since I was around when the industry was flooded. It gives me context on why so many Hofers from the 90s sets arent worth alot. I also love seeing people open the vintage wax but its hard to find as its very expensive to do. My goal is to open an 86 fleer basketball pack one day.

I actually like watching the box breaks for older card, throwback Thursdays, etc. I collected back in the late 50's early 60's but all those cards disappeared when my dad sold our house while I was in college. I started again in 1991 when I found a couple of boxes of 87 Topps at a yard sale for $10 a piece. Found three Barry Bonds rookies and was hooked again.

Good channel! While I enjoy historical videos related to sportscards, I think my favorite videos are those (like this one) that provide info on card values and auction sales. The auction sales that you have to be careful with are the eBay auctions since an item shown as sold doesn't necessarily mean that the transaction was completed between the buyer and seller.

@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR

4 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah, some are blatantly obvious that the seller took the listing down and marked as sold while others are not. It's best when you have multiple auctions to compare to one another and create and average sale price. PSA does this on their website's APR page. 👍

My favorite types of videos are box/case breaks...in part because it gives me an idea of the contents of products I can expect to see and also because I do buy into a lot of breaks.

The video was great. I like videos that give me the knowledge about the value of the cards. I hope those Mantles are all part of your collection.

The box breaks are good bc you never know what you're gonna pull. Also the videos you put up are awesome, makes us collectors wish we had taken better care of our cards as kids lol. And kept a lot of them as well

I pretty much enjoy all video types but if I had to choose I like opinion and general discussion about the hobby as a whole with a focus on the past or how to revive the hobby.

Hello from El Paso. My favorite videos are pre 80 pack opening. I started collecting when I was young. My favorite video of yours is the Nolan Ryan one. This Mantle video was awesome as well.

I really look forward to the Top 25 videos, because I go back and look to see if i have any of them...sometimes i do and i start looking to see if it's gradeable...

I live sports cards, really enjoy the history. Also enjoy seeing market value of cards, and why they are valuable. Really loved the vintage card.

I love box breaks. Watching hits happen. I’ve had bad luck when opening cards with many of the cards I’ve wanted Have eluded me. Watching these breaks shows me it can happen.

I enjoy 2 kinds of sportscard videos the most. One being the informative and historical video. Reason being that as a life long collector when I was a kid you had your collection and a price guide with pictures of cards that you didn’t have money for access to and new really knew nothing about. Second type of video is the videos where someone opens what they purchase online or flea market or show finds. Mainly because I like to see what people are buying out of curiosity.

I like the ones that are a guide to the values of cards!
