Love hearing those old game music and sounds, I was never very good with the intellivision games, but was quite good with the Atari ones
The Atari controllers were superior! Did you know that they made wireless Atari Joysticks!? I think I have some?🧐🤟🏽👍
Pretty sure I never got past the first screen on Defender
I think I managed to a few times… but I don’t really remember. That control scheme was traumatizing to me. I loved watching good players play, though. 👍
Do 52 large fit in a top loader?
They fit in the Card Saver 1, semi rigid holders. I showed some a month ago in a mail day episode. I don’t use the top loaders. For thick modern cards, they may be preferred, but I always put my raw cards into the kind shown. Grading companies require them when you send them in…even though I never send anything in, I prefer them.
Gave it a like. Not my thing but still awesome my friend. I'm sure someone will love them, especially in the condition they are in. I loved The Greatest American Hero as a much younger man! Quirky and so hilarious to re watch it as an older man, but brought back a lot of great memories and feelings. Very Nostalgic for me along with the man from Atlantis with Patrick Duffy, Wonder Woman with Linda Carter and several other shows I watched back then. 2 years ago when I first got rid of cable to save money and before being a community junky, I watched all the series of every show I could think of that I was in to as a kid and it was pretty awesome. Just how the memories that come rushing back and it makes you feel like a kid again for a moment in time. Anyways, enough babbling 👍👍and until next time, have a great day ✌out
I think I have some obscure Man from Atlantis memorabilia!? Or maybe it was “Manimal? Lol those Wonder Woman shows are hilarious to watch. Being an ex TV industry guy… it’s amazing how terrible the writing and production values were on all of those shows. Great time capsules of a different time in society.
@@mackeymintle66 I actually watched a Land of the Lost marathon a few years ago. As I am watching the beginning of the credit where the theme song is playing, I notice strings when the raft was going over the waterfall. It is so funny how I never noticed it as a kid, but stuck out like a sore thumb as an adult. Sleestaks and Chaka!....lol I think life in general was better and society as a whole as well. Just a simpler time period, especially as a kid. If you do find any Man from Atlantis stuff, please share. I would love to see it. Keep bring the great content my friend and have a great day 👍
First show for me as well…looking forward to seeing you.
Love these older cards you are showing. Good stuff! "Slingin'" Sammy Baugh was awesome and the card isn't bad either! 👍👍and until next time, have a great day ✌out
The older sets gradually grew on me. I still remember thinking: “there’s no way I will collect 48 Bowman, or 50 Bowman. 😂 I’m just a couple cards away from completing both of those sets, now. Looks like I will have to wait for a price decrease to happen. I missed the boat on some of the “keys”, back when I had just re-started. 😩😴 It’s just going to keep me in the hobby, until I finish everything!?😇😎
Like given. Awesome John Mackey commercial! Always love vintage commercials and love that Terry Bradshaw as well. Great cards! Enjoyed 👍👍and until next time, have a great day ✌out
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Sounds awesome!
Hope to meet you! I can guarantee I won’t remember your user name though! 😝🧐😎
Yes, yes I do…❤😂
Always loved these cards
Me too!
Like was given, great cards love the Jim Otto & Art Donovan (funny guy) and liked the funny face intro, you seem to be getting a little more comfortable with this stuff we call content. Have enjoyed coming along for the ride and watching the evolution of your channel. Love vintage football, I just have so much on my want list. Good luck at the National and happy hunting. Hope you have a great experience. I have never been to one and maybe one day I will get there, but for now I am pretty content. Love the pre and post videos from a lot of tubers and the comradery between most of them. I think I enjoy that part of this community or card-munity as some like to call it more than the cards and how I love me some cards, but that is what makes it amazing. The connections have no price label and are worth so much more. Enjoyed the video 👍👍and until next time, have a great day ✌out
I will start doing some football card give away contests after the national. Maybe at the 200 subscriber mark, and then at 3 or 4 maybe? I have some nice duplicates that are better used as incentives than selling them for 50 bucks or something. Chances should be pretty good, given the participation may be low!😎 as a retired Game Designer, I can’t help but drop clues and seemingly random words into my videos… these will undoubtedly become clues for a large puzzle. Maybe a 1000 sub special puzzle!? 👍😎
I'm going to say dido to what he said.
@@Michaeljamber (ditto) I’m old enough to remember people still using that word.😇😎
Love the vintage football but I also love modern-day football too.
👍 I loved modern football btw 1983-1992 or so. The lessons learned in the junk wax era, converted me into a vintage only guy. 😇 I STILL have a million (literally) commons, stacked like cord wood… Dragged them around my whole adult life, waiting for them to be worth something. I should make a video just panning across the “wood pile”. What’s your favorite part about modern football? Maybe I am missing something?! 👍😎
Short story got remarried in my mid 30s had two more kids now 10 and 13 my son got me into modern he started watching games with me and liking it and me collecting i started buying trevor lawrence cards cause my son looks like him lol. Now I have a large collection of trevor cards and autographed jerseys. Then they wanted to open cards so I started buying them and myself hobby boxes. It's crazy but they now both have a football card collection that's worth thousands and there only 10 and 13. Thats how I got into it. I love some of there's downtowns and rookie patch autos there just sick looking. Im 53 and love the old guys like mean joe green, ed too tall jones, reggie white, bart starr, Brett Favre, earl Campbell . Im a collector of all but my team is greenbay.
@@Michaeljamber fun. I am childless, and had no real wholesome interactions with MY father as a kid..(probably why I don’t have children? 🤔) I think it’s awesome that you can share a hobby with your kids!👍 Hopefully they can grasp the idea of how prices ebb and flow, and how difficult it is to know when and which cards to convert into $ before the value is lost. (I learned those lessons the hard way in the junk wax era…which was also a valuable information) So many hobby KZreadrs had such positive experiences collecting with their dads… It’s heartwarming and melancholy at the same time. 😇😔. I’m a little bit older than you…but probably still feel closer to 13, than my actual age! 😂🙂. Why I am still interested in completing vintage Football sets is a mystery that I have no interest in solving! 😁 Something soothing about flipping through cards from previous eras, and researching them at will, using the magical interwebs on my futuristic Star Trek tech in my pocket! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge! 👍😎
Gave the video a like, Always just preferred the look of the regular Topps Gold over the ones that said winner for whatever reason. You did win alot of them though and still are great cards. I have no winners in my collection, just some regular gold cards. Enjoyed the video 👍👍and until next time ✌out and have a great day
92 was the peak of my junk wax experience. It was fun, until it wasn’t.😃❤️💰🤑🥵😑 thanks for the likes!
Cool!
Thanks for watching! Vintage Football cards have always been kinda cool to me.More so now, than ever! So many old sets I have to share still! 🌈🏈
Love vintage football and basketball and learning about some of the early greats of the game! Beautiful cards, thanks for the education and sharing!
Like #1, Didn't get a chance to comment this morning when I first watched this video. Great mail day! Michigan was a beast with him on the team! Thanks for informing us of some of these guys. I love learning new things and enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing, awesome looking cards 👍👍and until next time ✌out
Very cool. I learn a few things, every time I start editing. I hope it all stays in my brain. 😳🤔
@@mackeymintle66 Yeah, we always hope we can retain the information we pickup. Unfortunately, I usually do not. As a kid I could tell you stats from the backs of cards without even looking a second time and information about players, etc. Ask me now the same stuff and I am probably going to say that I do not remember....lol Thanks again for sharing the video my friend. Have a great weekend
Some nice cards. I hope you have better luck getting a package from greg morris than i do. Ten days is my average wait.
I do wait a while. I’m used to it by now. I tend to wait the limit of 7 days, before I pay… to get the combined shipping. They don’t even bother sending me the invoice until 5-6 days after my first “win”… I don’t know how many employees they have, but it’s gotta be a logistical nightmare to list and collect $ and mail the thousands of cards a week?! (Plus, it makes mail day videos more interesting to ME, if I am a little fuzzy on which cards are in the padded envelope.)🤔😂👍
@mackeymintle66 I supposed to get a package from them today. It was sorted in town last evening. Now it's in a different town.
@@RL3sports one thing that’s annoying is that when someone with a big Post Office account “makes a label “ it says it’s on its way…or something like that… that starts MY internal timer going… expecting to get the package in a few days…but it’s really not even in a mailer yet…🥵🤷🏽🥸. So far, in 5-6 years of ordering, I haven’t had a package lost… a few cards I wanted, failed the authenticity step, and I just a refund silently credited. Missed out on some good 61 Fleer basketball cards because of this… but glad I didn’t get an altered card from a scammy seller! 👍😎. Still need a few cards to complete that set… maybeI will find some SGC 5’s of the big cards I am missing at the National? Thanks for watching! I can talk all day, so don’t feel required to reply to all my chatting! 🤪🥸 I’m in a tiny isolated town in the Midwest, with no collector friends…and I am mostly retired… so…free time galore. 🤟🏽🤣
@mackeymintle66 Maybe that's why it usually takes 4 days for the P.O. in LA to do anything with it. Not actually shipped. I had 1 package bounce around Louisiana for 5 days. I live in Amarillo TX. No collector friends here also.
@@RL3sports yeah, I watched a package ping pong around to places it had no business being a few times. Canada Post is worse, believe it or not… I have to really think hard before buying from sellers in Canada.
WV swirls
Nice new mystery marble.
50
Is $50 fair, or unfair? 😎🤔 I probably have at least $250 into that giant container. I would quickly buy a gallon of pre-1950 marbles for $50 if I ever found one! 👍
😎
Kind of a weird video, but it kept the streak going! 😎🤟🏽 I’m shooting for at least one video every day for a full year. 🥸 ( I have enough mystery boxes full of cool collections to last a few years!)
Like #1, Warren Moon in the house of cards! Once again, beautiful condition 1972-73' Basketball cards in this last group. I do not own any from this year, but I always thought it was a really cool design. Compared to football and baseball I never really collected much basketball or hockey, but love them non the less. Good luck at the National with the trades 👍👍 and ✌out.
Thanks! I’m not sure Hockey… the sport, even…is going to be televised anymore, pretty soon! The hobby love for hockey is pretty anemic 🤔😂.
Cool Find! Love the Tom and Jerry, Porky Pig and Woody Woodpecker. When I collected comics as a child, I had the Unknown Soldier, Thor and Aquaman, Can't remember if I had any others. I always wanted the KISS comics where they had their blood drawn and put in to the ink...lol Enjoyed the video. 👍👍 and ✌out
I forgot about that Kiss thing. I wonder if it was real, or just another Gene Simmons marketing gimmick?! That guy is a piece of work! I was a Rush and Prog rock fan, more than a Kiss fan, even though in Detroit they got a lot of airplay.
@@mackeymintle66 I'm pretty sure there is video of them doing the process with the blood, but even if it was a gimmick. As much as I feel Gene is a greedy business person, in my eyes he is still a marketing Gene-ious. Pun intended.....lol Sold much of my Kiss collection years ago after asking myself, why am I continuing to make Gene wealthier than he already is? A number of things were rare and high in value to the collectors. I do have most of my Kiss cards and a few original albums that I gave to my oldest son last year when he got his turn table and started his vinyl collection. He loves Queen as well, an old soul so to speak. I like Rush as well. 👍
@@Andys_Attic i found a Kiss “double View” view master film cartridge of Kiss, in a thrift store in Tracy, Ca. In 1989 or so. Still on the bubble card. Sold it 15 years later for a lot. Maybe 100 bucks? On eBay. I’m sure i made some Kiss collector happy! 😃 i agree Gene is quite the innovative and hard working marketing genius. 👍
I only had about 10 games, but I noticed you had the Black jack and Poker. I remember playing Black Jack quite a bit. Also had, Football, Baseball, Some racing game (Not Pole Position) and also remember a game similar to Zaxxon. Liked this video and would love to see more for sure. Never had the Intellivision II, Didn't even know it existed....lol 👍👍 and ✌out
👍 sometimes the simple games were the most fun, and had the most replay value. When I was making the 2nd Medal of Honor game, I was heavily buying NES carts from video stores that were going out of business… I would play test each game for a few minutes… after playing 400 different games, the final stack of games that were actually fun, was like a dozen carts! It’s hard to make a good game, or movie!!!
Like #1, Ozzie Smith "The Wizard" in the house of cards! Great looking 1972-73' Topps basketball cards my friend. Very worthy of grading, even though I know you are using them for trade bait at the National. Enjoy watching and I see your subs are slowly creeping up also, happy for you. Have a safe and happy 4th. 👍👍 and ✌out
Much appreciated! Did you see the Intellivision episode!? I’ll be releasing parts 2,3,4 next week! Thanks for subscribing and following along!😎👍
WHY DIDN"T YOU SHOW THE PRICE THEY ARE ASKING????????????????????
I own that Jar already… just wanted to get more experienced marble folks to give their informed opinion on what they thought it might be worth. No plan to sell it, I just like having as much information as possible in my memory banks. I collect so many different things, it’s hard to stay up to date on all the going rates…👍😎
New Sub! Detroit MIch. Well Done Brotha! I'll take a Box of iNTv Stuff at 41 I still havent played an Intellivision, Always wanted to see what that weird Disc was about LOL
Closest sub location wise. I am down near Adrian! I’m still digging out my consoles…
I made some Batman content last month!
I’m now living in such a small town. A big adjustment from my entire adult life in Los Angeles
Around $30
Gah! It’s worth more to me as an object D’ Art!
@mackeymintle66 Definitely a cool looking mix. 😄
Good luck on your 1955 Jackie search. Quite the story.
Hopefully I will find a presentable one this year, or next!👍
Interesting journey for card collectors.
It’s nearly impossible to find all the cards one finds interesting 🧐 👍
When I was a kid every 4th of July we’d drive a couple hrs to my aunt/ uncles lake house for the weekend. We’d drive through tons of small towns along the way and I LOVED looking out the car window and taking in them setting up their squares and parks for the festivities the whole town would go to
It’s a big change, loving in this tiny midwestern town, after spending my adult life in Los Angeles.
When it comes to eyes did you know when a calf is born its eyes are open immediately. With goats it takes about 3 days for their eyes to open after birth. With puppies it can take up to six days for their eyes to open. Kittens it takes a few weeks for their eyes to open. When it comes to humanity most of us don't get our eyes open until marriage.
Hah! I guess I will keep living with my eyes closed! 🤔😇😎
Great stuff
Thanks for watching. See you in Cleveland.👍
Mind blown! Did not even know there was a burger time sequel!!
I remember finding that, in a bag of other Intv games and loose Atari 2600 carts. I had to buy the whole bag, to get that one…the rest of the bag was all duplicates for me, but it was back in 1993. The whole bag only cost $2.95 or something! 😇😅
@@mackeymintle66 amazing!
$1000.
There’s so me old, nice 😊 ones in there! Some of those are featured in previous videos… 👍
Some of my subscribers and friends do good buying jars of marbles. My experience has always been if there's anything nice in the jar it's always played hard. Almost all of my quality pieces have came from other collectors estates or shows who have already identified them. Good post keep them coming ✌️👍🔨
I'll trade your nobody's for my nobody's 😂.
I’m happy to trade my crisp-ish nobodies for other cards I need. I’m still finishing the tall boys, in all 3 sports. Hockey seems the hardest. Almost done with 69-70 Basketball, and 65 Football.
Always fun videos and awesome production!
Thanks for your comment. The marble community seems the most enthusiastic for content, according to my analytic data. I need to find some more cool ones! 😅 Posting mostly sportscards stuff in July, leading up to the National Card Show.
If that's what is showing just imagine!! I have to put it on lay away just for peace of mind!! Lol!
Nice cards. More people making basketball card, Wacky Packages, and GPK videos would be good.
I agree! I’m game! I’ll be showing and telling stories about 1948,1957,1961,1969,1970,71,72,73 Basketball….my GPK collection hasn’t even been shown yet? I am (so far) successfully posted at least 1 video per day, and am planning on doing so until next May. Stay tuned for way too much weird stuff! 😎👍🤓 I have more WackyPackages content n my channel than most. 🤟🏽 Thanks for watching!
I keep mine.😊
I am going to keep some, but… there’s a nice lady in my neighborhood who makes glass lawn sculptures/things that she sells at small town craft shows, and the big highway 127 4-day garage sale… She let me look at her jars of marbles once, before I had ANY clue… so I want to give her my sparkling chipped ones to add to her creative palette. 🤷🏼♂️😬
@@mackeymintle66 that's a noble gesture.
Like #1. Funny how we sometimes forget what we have in boxes. Sometimes it's a nice surprise. Atari was cool, but my first system was intellevision. Loved it as a kid! The AI made me laugh with the corn on the cob and Conrad Dobler 😂😂
I have almost all the Intellivision games, in theory boxes!! I have to do a series on them. Mattel was the n South LA area, so I was fortunate to be thrifting, daily, in the 90’s… lucking into ex-employees’ garage box donations.😎👍👌 Found some unusual stuff, that I eventually was able to identify… Some good industry stories as well. 👍 The AI videos are so fun to attempt. You get a handful of free tries, each month.
@@mackeymintle66 Unfortunately, roughly 10 years ago I sold my intellevision and all the games in there original boxes complete with all the booklets and controller inserts. Wish I wouldn't have though. The AI stuff seems to be a little freaky, but cool to me and eventually hope to attempt some myself.
@@Andys_Attic I am sure I have some doubles and triples of a couple of games. I plan on starting to do some giveaways or contests, once I have a few more people. I’m happy to trade stuff I have saved for decades, for a larger community of collectors.👍 That feeling of opening forgotten boxes, looms large in my travels.🤪👌 i have a garage full of mystery boxes and tubs! Sharing it on KZread will force me to organize and cull… is my ongoing hope. 😁🤷🏼♂️
Great finds! I remember watching those old Woody The Wood Pecker cartoons!
I vaguely remember… was Woody a prankster? Maybe? Like Bugs Bunny, the Woodpecker? I kinda of recall he was a little “Krazy” too?🤦♂️🤔 I was “encouraged” not to watch TV until I was old enough to buy my own. 🤔🤷🏼♂️(1 hour a week?”, until then…) Maybe THATS why I ended up at film school!?🙃🤨 OMG! Breakthrough! 🤪😁🤣
Loved these, thank you. Appreciate your channel.
I hear the globetrotters cartoon theme in my head, when I look at early 70’s basketball cards.
Sweet marbles!! Those are beautiful!
I’m still not entirely clear why it’s so easy to stare at marbles, for 1/2 an hour? 🤓😝 Maybe it’s just detail oriented brains, or artistic thinkers, but I love watching close up’s in slow motion too!? 😎👍
I have enjoyed seeing these cards. It is one of my favorite sets. Your cards look to be in fantastic condition. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 72-73 is coming soon. Already edited and uploaded. July will be mostly Card videos as I “Advertise” what trader material I have for the National in Cleveland. I’m light on $, but hopefully will find a trader who wants to work out something. 👍😎
Scare Glow wrong armor
Thanks. I will look it up, and see if the correct armor is in the collection.
Those are my kinda cards. I get a couple greg morris packages every month.
I might pay a tad more, like everyone who trusts GMC, but 90% of the time, the “grades” match what they say in the titles. I couldn’t find many legit NM grade raw cards for my sets at the Strongsville show this year. All the 48 bowman football cards I saw there were 2’s and 3’s masquerading as 5-6’s 😂 I assume the National will have slightly better inventory? I have never been to a national.
@mackeymintle66 Do you ever buy 65 tall boys. I can never tell which common will go for $15 and which one will go for $50. Both being equal.
@@RL3sports i generally “watch” all the 65’s… I am slowly completing that set. We should figure out a way to not bid against each other! 👌🤔🤓 I bought a stack of them a few years back, from a super old guy who had a table at a nearby Moose Lodge show… but the GMC ones that I still need, are usually way miscut, at the prices I am willing to pay. No hope of affording the Namath, but I have most of the other cards. What state do you live in? I used to be able to stay up for the last second snipe bidding, on the West Coast auctions, but I moved to EST a few years back… and I keep grandpa sleep hours. 😴
@mackeymintle66 I had to move to amarillo, TX in 2017. No vintage here. I got Sam Deluca on June 7th. Still need about 75 cards. If you wanna see my partial 62, 63 and 65 topps sets they're on KZread. Just look up my name.
@@mackeymintle66Did you bid on any GMC auctions today?
Like #3, I personally only remember 11 of them. Not sure if distribution was different on the east coast, but I definitely remember Zaxxon. Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. were awesome and I also use to play a game called Sky Scraper that I liked alot. There was also a Pizza place that just closed down not too long ago that had a Bay Watch pinball machine and I wish I could have gotten a KISS pinball machine. I learned early on that I would rather spend my money on other things. Enjoyed the song. Thanks for sharing with us 👍👍 and ✌out
Sky scraper!? That game doesn’t ring a bell? I will look it up, and see if ever saw it! A friend of mine worked on Baywatch back in like, 1989? Maybe 88? I have his old crew jacket they gave to everyone as a wrap gift, after one of the seasons. I still can’t believe that show became so popular across the globe! Slow motion T and A apparently is a universal language? 😆
Was skyscraper a knock off version of Crazy Climber? Maybe? The only games I found Called skyscraper were old 1930’s electro mechanical ones. I liked Crazy Climber a lot as well. It took precision and skill!
@@mackeymintle66 😂 for sure a universal language....lol What is that old saying? Sex sells?...lol
@@mackeymintle66 I am not sure and I am pretty sure it was called skyscraper. You had to climb up buildings while avoiding some birds that would either hit in to you and knock you off and if they s#*t on you it would also either knock you off or knock you down the side of the building a ways (hard to remember 40+ years ago)....lol you would have to get to the top and then a helicopter would take you to the next level I'm pretty sure.
I definitely know the one I played wasn't called crazy climber, I do remember that much.
What kind
I’m not sure. I’m assuming that they are from 1960’s and before. My skill at identifying is still germinating. I can spot some styles of Akro Agate, or Christiansen slags. There’sstill too much information swirling from watching stephen Bahrs’ ID videos. Strong recommend! I watch them all.
@@jeff-wisconsin8365 My real name is Greg.
Great collection
There were a bunch… hundreds of beautiful cards at the Strongsville show. More of the same, next Spring! Recommend, if you’re interested in buying only vintage.👌 (I left the show after spending only couple bucks on some 1976 commons)
Awesome stuff, congrats
It would be way cooler if I get it!😝😩 I think it will go unsold at that price. Love the 48’s I DO have though!
