[@b-man1232]

Love, love, love, love BBCE!! I could have spent hours just in their booth area!! Love the 70's and 80's wax pack boxes - so cool!!

[@4MDK]

Love this tour every year. Thanks!

[@joefran619]

80's on up so much of it out there it's ridiculous. I have numerous Ron Santo cards which I was a big fan growing up, that I have of him in psa 8's. Didn't see any of them in the video.

[@kentfreeman8674]

Thanks for the tour

[@JosephKHinesleySr]

I was there on Friday. We came up for the HOF game in Canton. The booth you started at bought 5 boxes of cards from my uncle for $8k cash lol

[@Darbobski]

It was nice of God to show up and say a few words at Nationals. 2:25

[@sonnydacuse7622]

I love your annual Baseball Card Exchange vlogs!! Great Job and Go CUSE brotha!! 🤙

Way more "stuff" than there are collectors/buyers. Love the hobby, I've been a collector since 1980, but sometimes I just shake my head at just how much is out there. I fear that someday so much of it will be virtually worthless. Supply will exceed demand by far within the next 30 years. Go to most card shows and 75% of the people there are over 40. I hope I am wrong, but sports cards to most kids are not what they used to be. I remember saving money for months to buy a Montana rookie. Still have that card 3 and a half decades later.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Yeah, the prices are out of control. I basically only buy high grade hof'ers and future hof'ers now. occasionally I'll prospect with new cards, but only really solid players like Trout, Judge, Betts etc. The hobby has become ALL about money, and anyone who says otherwise is not being totally honest. I admit most of what I buy is because I like it, but we all are looking at resale down the line for most of what we buy. I love seeing kids at the shows, I take my 12 year old son and his friends, but there just aren't that many kids into it anymore, and you are absolutely right it's the cost to collect good stuff, and just a decline in interest.

[@888strummer]

If 25% are under 40 then that's not bad. I was hoping there would be footage of the show when it was more crowded to get a better idea of the crowd.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

888strummer, It was more like 10% actually, which isn't good for the hobby.

[@888strummer]

I watched other videos of the nationals in Cleveland and you're wrong. There were MANY kids there with their parents and there were also many adults who looked to be under 40. I agree the majority are white guys over 45 or 50 but it was encouraging to see many kids there too. I do agree with you though that the hobby needs more young collectors

[@tewksburydriver8624]

888strummer, I was talking about card shows in general, of which I attend dozens a year, so I am not wrong.

[@JZDMC1212]

The BBC Exchange's prices are ridiculous

[@ZiggyMcZag]

No hockey cards? Can't wait for the Toronto show in November.

[@whitebathroomguy]

ok out of curiosity, how many old school collectors out there still smell their vintage (1980 and older) baseball cards? that distinct cardboard smell...lmao

[@SportsCardShow]

I'd say quite a few. Thats an intoxicating smell. I'd floss some cologne

[@the_card_dreamer9436]

I can remember a lot of those packs from back in The day

[@mmacage2683]

best to buy psa9 Jordan RC and wait 5 years.

[@georgekredel5013]

This is NOT the time to be buying cards; it's the time to be selling cards while the economy is still fairly robust. Watch what happens to card and memorabilia prices in the future when the economy turns south. Prices will plummet and if you like collecting, that is when to buy. Always sell into strength and buy on weakness.

[@hellas214]

Ill be at the one next year, I will buy every card there

[@Tor109]

A lot of cool stuff there.

[@MarkfromKy]

awesome man I wish I could be there

[@tstranger405]

I’ve loved your videos for years. But can I ask what it is you do for a living?

[@TonyR619Breaks]

Great video! Always love your coverage of the Show 👍🏼 No Benchwarmer this year? 😁✌🏼

[@kevin-tk3qr]

i bought a box of 86 fleer basket ball for 10 dollars when they came out at a card show, only because my friends bought one i almost didnt.....i think i got 4 jordan rookies out of it....

[@hoodstrong6980]

What part of tempe? I live here, too...have you checked out many card stores?even better than unwrapping packs at the card stores is unwrapping the females on campus..lol

[@SportsCardShow]

I live near ASU although I might be a little old for some of the ones around there. haha. I haven't been to any shops yet, but I heard there are two good ones, south of ASU.

[@crackertime2164]

Cool video

[@tomfelix1589]

OMG! Super Card..

[@toddrichardson8595]

If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying Steve Hart out!

[@josephgomez5167]

80k ? Big boy pants are on

[@thecollector893]

cool. some great wax

[@rayperez2397]

Your moving your camera so fast I can't even scratch my nuts.

[@billporricelli1171]

Unbelievable these joker dealers put a pack of cards in clear cases to make them appear to have great value. Let the buyers beware.

[@pauleckert4321]

The adult in me wants those Mikey Mantels. The kid in me wants those garbage pale kids boxs 😂.

[@darrelllamb6885]

Just a bunch of people standing around not stupid enough to waste money on worthless cards

[@johnnyraider7415]
