Alan, so happy for you, my collecting brother! A GEM auto for your GEM collection! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Congrats, my friend! 😊

Huge congrats on the 10 Al! It’s beautiful! So glad I got to see this in person

Hey again, I already knew this but I've been doing more research on a player that has to be in the top 100 players you did it's not complete unless you put him in I would say pretty high up the GREAT GEORGE SISLER, he truly is on par with the likes of Cobb,Hornsby and others in his day and did some amazing pitching early on and was with Branch Rickey in finding some players you might have heard of. This needs to be done, also hope to see new lists in the future.

Looks awesome slabbed up! Congrats on the 10!! What a great autograph, congrats again, my friend!

Congrats Al! That’s one for the ages! Enjoy that!

What kind of wax is that?

Congrats!

Alan, congrats on 1k subs! 🤯🤯🤯 Well, this video shows why you have 1k subs, as you walk us through the refractors and premium cards of the glorious 1990's! 🤩🤩🤩For those who watched until the end, they were blessed with the Iconic Baseball keys to collecting: joy, nostalgia, iconic, top player, eye appeal, historical importance, and scarcity. Let's not let the pumpers and dumpers get ahold of this iconic list of special card characteristics! Well, somehow, with nothing but dollar signs in their eyes, the true keys to collecting elude them! Awesome episode, my friend! 😊👊 P.S. We are clubbies on the glorious 1995 Finest Bonds refractor!

Excellent video highlighting an awesome era of cards! I just purchased the last Ozzie Smith refractor I needed, 1994 finest. The dufex cards are my favorite innovation. The UD collectors choice silver/gold signature cards are fun to collect too.

This is such a cool project! It’s really good you went to the National first to find out that it is in fact “cool to collect “! I love the thought and planning that went into the cards you picked from each set

Such a great journey through the innovative 90's. So many of these examples are great to have and truly showcase the genesis of shine and ingenuity in the hobby. Well done!

i'll take this guy, what about this guy, blah, blah, blah, stats are stats. deal with it.😊😮😂

with those stats, how did he not have over 3000 hits??🤔🤔

Congratulations on putting the final SHINE on this collection Al. You’re always so INNOVATIVE with what you do on your channel!

Made my commute go faster. Fun video. You def have a thing for the 93-95 era. Funny since I’m bit younger and I remember 95-96 best. I did chores for $5 a week and it all went to like 95/96 ultra, 96 metal.

The Hit King! You know, my dad got in an argument with Pete Rose back in the day. No blows were thrown, but tempers flared ;)…And I knew Babe was a good pitcher, but I didn’t realize he was that good. Wow…And nothin to say bout those offensive stats. He lived in a different world…Lastly, thanks again for sharin this labor of love with the world. Like I’ve said, it’s top-shelf content (award-worthy!). You’ve edified minds, inspired song and brought passion, cheer and a sensitive perspective to us all. Long live Iconic Baseball! A blessing on your house today.

OHHHHH MY! 🤩🤩🤩 So, I knew you had this “90s refractor” project in the works… but I had no idea that this massive project was going to primarily focus on the history and progression of 90s innovation! What a treat to see this masterclass filled with GORGEOUS SHINE!! Dang, I actually had / have copious notes written in preparation for a future video about how the 90s card companies innovated year by year with iconic hobby firsts! You beat me to the punch! 😂 Maybe I’ll just do an addendum / sequel. Incredible job with this video, Al! I’ve enjoyed seeing your pickups trickling in over the past year, and to see them all at once just blew me away with that high-pop, low-pop SHINE! 🤩🤩🤩 BRAVO!!

Thanks for showing

Great video. It sure brought back memories of when we collected baseball cards together along with your younger brother Brian (High Pop Professor). I was glad to see those Barry Bonds cards. That was around the time I decided to specialize in collecting Barry Bonds cards exclusively. I continued to collect Bonds cards for 35 years and accumulated 9,500 different pieces. Thanks for the memories. Love, Dad

My god the shine! Had to break out the 🕶️ for this epic video Al. What a tremendous showcase and history lesson 👊

I was a little nervous to click play on this on, Al. I normally get all of my 90’s innovation era content from a channel called “HighPopProfessor”, but I decided to cheat and watch anyway. What a great symposium on a great era of card production! I’m impressed and jealous and I won’t tell the professor you made this video.

Oh boy…. You guys keep baiting the hook so well….and I’m using so much restraint to not dive in…..

Awesome cards, definitely the best era.

Well done

90’s rule 🤛🏻

Heyyyy nice Saved by the Bell shirt!! And thanks for the shoutout! We’re overdue for another Brothers’ Duo, so maybe next weekend, eh? Good luck hunting your Cracker Jack card!
