Buying Vintage at the Fall Classic Sports Card Show - Walkthrough & Display Cases!

[@LonelyBasementBaseballCards]

I can’t bring myself to drive to LI. But I’ll drive to Cleveland, Philly and Chicago. 😂

The Hofstra show is one of the longest-running in the nation to my knowledge. That 1952 Dodgers sepia photocard is stunning. They seem to have quite a good selection of true vintage football. Ted Williams was my boyhood idol. I wish I'd saved some of those 1959 Fleer wrappers.

[@SammyThunder]

I didn't know that. The County Center shows have been going on for a long time as well, but I don't know how long in comparison with Hofstra.

Thanks for taking me with you to the show. Always enjoy your filming. I cannot believe some of the prices. What I use to bring to the National to spend years ago would buy me very little if anything. Looked like a great show and busy.

[@SammyThunder]

Thank you Larry

[@ken-pr2df]

Thanks for taking us along to the card show Sammy!! Your footage of the shows are always awesome and much appreciated!! In general where have you seen vintage card prices moving at the more recent shows? Enjoy your channel!!

[@SammyThunder]

They've been going down, but it depends on what. A lot of Pre War has gone up.

[@michaelyoung7974]

Those entertainment and historical cards near the end are fascinating. I know young people who find those the most appealing. I believe the 1952 Berk Ross Ted Williams was the only card of him that season available outside ballpark photo sets. Thanks for this enjoyable tour.

[@SammyThunder]

Those cards caught my eye. It was a nice way to finish the show.

[@Redneckclector]

Hey Sammy! Looks like it was a great show for vintage. Thanks for sharing.

[@SammyThunder]

Definitely Joe. It was solid show for vintage collectors.

[@danmuseo2802]

We dont have this type of selection of vintage cards on the west coast ❤

[@mickeyshea8013]

Thanks again for another tour !!

[@SammyThunder]

Happy to do it.

[@RipFan8]

Hi Sammy. I think this is my favourite video that you have done. So much awesome stuff at this show. This looks like a really awesome show. I look forward to your pickup video. Thanks for sharing my friend, talk soon pal.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Stephen.

Hi Sammy, Thanks for your coverage of the Fall Classic. It was great to see you on the hunt again. Sorry that you won’t be setting up at shows anymore but I imagine it’s a lot of work. Now you can devote your time to the quest for your Holy Grail! Have a relaxing evening, Peter

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Peter. It's okay. I'm happy to step back from setting up at shows. There are things outside the hobby that I want to do and I can't keep going at the rate of doing shows every Saturday and Sunday.

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

I totally understand!

[@RL3sports]

That looks like a great show. Thanks for showing all 4 sports. I could never stay on a budget with all the shows you get to go to. I'm drooling here.

[@SammyThunder]

Takes a lot of discipline.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Dang, what an awesome show! That's almost like a miniNational!

[@SammyThunder]

Yeah, in a way. The Philly show is larger. That to me feels like a mini National.

[@diamondgems45]

Thanks for the tour, Mr. Thunder. Those were some super '69 Supers. Looking forward to the Monday vid.

[@SammyThunder]

They were incredible. I've never seen the entire set graded, nor have I seen that many all at once!

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

That was indeed Legends Never Die territory! Raw Red Mans baby!! Some great show footage Sammy!

[@SammyThunder]

You're always the first one I think of when I see them. I'm now looking for a 52 Mays with the tab.

[@ACollectorsDream]

Great video

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Orlando

[@vintageonvintage817]

Always enjoy it when you share card show videos Sammy! Looked like a pretty good show, thanks for sharing!

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Steve. Appreciate it man.

[@nicholasmantia9052]

2 dealers i know for a long time have great vintage cards: John, who usually has a table near the front & wears glasses & Jimmy, whos tables are towards the back bleachers....... Hope you dealt with them today.

[@SammyThunder]

I didn't get a chance to interact too much with dealers today. I only spent about an hour and a half navigating the gym. I'll keep an eye out for them the next time I go.

[@vintagesportflips]

That looks like an awesome show! I need to get to that one someday

[@SammyThunder]

This was a good show. I still tend to like the County Center shows more because more dealers come out for that one.

[@armourcoin]

Once again great footage of this show which indeed did have a National feel to it. I even noticed that most of the vintage was marked which was an added bonus. I’m anxious to hear about your decision to no longer setting up at shows.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks man. Most of the cards were priced. There definitely seems to be a turn for the better with that. I decided to stop setting up for a number of reasons. I am trying to put more time into my career and continue building myself. Spending time with my family is very important and not having Saturdays and Sundays to do that was taking its toll.

[@armourcoin]

@@SammyThunder Good move Sammy, and I commend you for your decision.

[@thedetroitcollector]

Great card show video as always. Love searching through the clips to see if anything big catches my eyes.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Eric

[@punkrock7920]

Great video! I love when you film the shows like this!

[@SammyThunder]

I love doing them. I always get excited about these big shows.

[@CFarmerPhoto]

Guess I know why you didn’t go to the Trumbull show today! 😂

[@SammyThunder]

I haven't publicly stated it yet, but I'm no longer setting up at shows. I guess I'm stating that now lol.

[@luist5887]

Thanks Sammy for sharing

[@SammyThunder]

Good seeing you yesterday.

[@johnmurray6690]

Give me some football Sammy!! 🙏

[@SammyThunder]

I did
