1990 Leaf is a great set, loved the hot cold Beckett of the time! Injustice grabbed a raw version of the Thomas RC, it is my favorite of his RC. Your cards are in amazing condition, really cool stuff thanks for sharing!

Watching sports in general is scripted and so is buying hobby boxes after being CT scanned plus sending in hundreds of cards to be graded a 10, that too is scripted. My childhood WAS playing videogames before buying sports cards.

Agree that free agency is a huge contributor to lack of interest in today’s game. Player and team loyalty are a mere shell of what used to be. Very sad to me and de-motivating to watch or collect anything that’s modern.

Bash bros. ! One of my favorite Henderson cards. Love the BO! All about the memories my man.! Thanks man!

Great set.

Hi Brent. I agree with you, that 90 Leaf set is beautiful, and those Griffey's are really awesome. The Nolan Ryan cards are some of the best pictures of him. Great video and thanks for showing.

So fun Brent! Big '90 leaf guy here as well.

I miss having that Beckett!

I agree, nice set. Thanks for showing

Thx for sharing that WWI Engineer card. My grandfather was an engineer in that war. I just went on eBay and bought one. 😊 Thx again.

That was a fun Leaf set. One of the iconic sets of the era.

Those leaf in action shots are so good and so crisp. So much better than the 70s and 80s Topps in action which were so grainy and just not fun to look at IMO. Thx for sharing.

Brent! Awesome stuff, buddy! Love the Junior. I didn’t know that one existed. No love for Larry Walker 😝? This is an awesome set and you got some beauties, my friend. Thanks for sharing!!!

Yes please! 199O Leaf! Great looking Beckett! Oooh man love the Hot/Cold List! I couldn’t afford this product as a youngster, but I am AlMOSt done with this set today as an adult, still need a few but we’re close! It was fun looking at them again, thanks for sharing!

Another awesome video 🎉🎉

This is what it’s all about! Yes! Pure nostalgia. Thank you for sharing

You had me at 1990 Leaf and I even broke out my binder to look at mine 😊as I listen and 1 minute in yes best becket ever !!!!!!!!!!!! Ok let me keep watching 😂😂 👊

I can’t believe this collection - just amazing dude. All 10’s!!! So cool Brent - such a classic set, and an amazing collection dude. Wow

I think I remember that about the double arrows on all of the 1990 Leaf cards in the Beckett Guide! That's an incredible collection my friend. Thanks for sharing.

What a tribute episode, Brent! We’re around the same age and I remember the buzz around this set fondly. My best friend had a Frank Thomas which he encased in one of those giant 2” thick lucite screw down holders, and I was SO envious 🤣 That promo is FIRE! 🤩🤩🤩

Very nice cards. Did MagPro design/print that label or did you make that yourself. Very nice.

LOVE Sandberg! Super cool photos!! No way! It took a second to guess which card, but that’s so cool man!!! Whoa!?!?!?! Never seen the card before let alone with an auto! Dude congrats!!!!!

Wow! That is a crazy fun set!! Nolan looks so cool in the the Angels uni! A very cool story about Keith Olberman!!! Cool Pete rose! Great stuff again Brett! The big cards have some sweet pics! What!?! A puzzle on the back🤯🤯

Nice work! Super cool cards here! Never seen these before! Greatest of 10s! I have heard the Upper Deck story, pretty cool! Thanks man!!

Brent, thank you for your kind words, my collecting brother! Heck ya, let's have fun with our hobby! 😊👊

Right on, Brent! You hit the nail on the head with everything. I appreciate you talking about it. The channels you mentioned are all great dudes, I’m happy to call a lot of them friends. Thanks for mentioning me among them 👊

Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts! and I liked what you said! Well done

Great points Brent. People like you make the hobby great. Need more of the good guys!

👊

I like it, we are already almost there!

Awesome video Brent! Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts

outstanding meditation, Mr. Brent. I'm honored to be a part of the good vibrations gang! Plants grow toward the light... be the light!!

Great thoughts pal. Totally agree. Appreciate the love.

Great thoughts Brent. You make good points and all effect the hobby of collecting in one way or another. Baseball use to be the main sport and kids fell in love with it. Today there are many other interests taking away from baseball and more specifically collecting. There may not be a quick fix but MLB needs to find a way to make Baseball great again and it doesn't have anything to do with their selling more stuff at a much higher price. The players also have something to do with this. They have to play the game as the old veterans did who played for the love of the game, not money.

Thanks for sharing. I remember when ‘89 Upper Deck came out and was amazed by the quality and look of the cards. I think Topps Stadium Club also appeared around the same time also.

Hi Brent, that was an awesome VR. You made some valid points about the issues in the hobby. The KZbin community is great, and I have to admit, I really enjoy watching the content that everyone puts out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brent, and you make a lot of fair points, I think the hobby, is as great as we choose to make it. I agree and resonate with the enjoyment part as well. My Dad was a collector back in the day, and passed it down to me. A lot of parts, which you mention of, the hobby as changed also. With the grading. The ''thrill of the chase'' for 1/1 cards, or low numbered cards, etc. I do wonder, if current but, also future collectors will ever appreciate collecting, just for the sake of collecting. But I think, it may be dwindling down, and I do have some legit concerns, that the hobby will further turn into a money laundry scheme, which is probably why some collectors don't love or trust grading. Turning cardboard into cash. We'll see what happens I guess.

Loyalty is one major reason I collect Dirk Nowitzki. He gave my city 21 of his best years. He gave his heart and soul. I love collecting his stuff 💯

Bald eagles, lol 🦅

Thank you for showing your Monarch card collection. I visited the Negro League Hall of Fame in Kansas City last year and became instantly fascinated with the stories of NLB players and their history. There were unfortunately no NLB cards made during that time for today’s collectors to collect. At today’s prices if they had the value would be astronomical and unaffordable for most or all collectors. Monarch does a great job depicting NLB player cards (Satchell Paige, Cool Papa Bell, Josh Gibson, and others not as well known) and is a great alternative for anyone wanting to collect a big part of baseball’s⚾️ pastime.🙂

Here's one, the term ( Junk Wax ) will be baned in the hobby, no longer politically correct

Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts Brent, I was nodding my head in agreement throughout. Honored to be mentioned and honored to call you a friend. 👊

Brent! Dude, thank you so much for the shoutout and kind words. Getting a chance to connect with you on KZbin is a blessing, my friend. You’re a great guy and I love your passion for cards and the game. You care more about the memories than prices. That’s what the hobby and life are all about! Thanks again and have a fantastic day!

Great VR Brent! Awesome shoutouts!

“Used to be like Christmas now its like Halloween” 😂😂😂😂😂 great stuff Brent now let me finish

Great Veteran’s Day tribute, Brent. That Don West auto is epic! The Ripken items are just fantastic too, you know I loved those. Huge congrats on landing that photo, I know that’s a huge piece for your collection. Your first baseball card is epic, I love that you’ve custom framed it. Another episode of cardboard awesomeness 👏

You nailed it. Very nice video

So cool to see some of the original ‘89 Upper Deck cards in PSA 10s, it really is amazing just how much they changed the game. The DeWayne Buice story is great, haven’t heard that one in ages. The promos are VERY cool, I had not seen the majority of them. Makes me want to go land a few! Fantastic overview of an important set and its promos, pal, very well done! 👊😃

Like golf 😂 great analogy! Thanks for participating!

Sick Ripkens. The 2131 card, was an amazing moment. Still, one of my favorite sport memories, too.
