[@bradymania9312]

really enjoyed the conversation.It's long, but it was entertaining. This definitely showed a normal side to Geoff, which is nice to see.

[@brandonduhon1933]

He’s a douche bag , and will always be He’s the type of guy to not even tell people hello as they walk by his table … And he’s teaching his kids 😂

[@brendenconner9686griffin]

[@coastplays]

My two favorite youtubers in one can't beat it !

[@bforeal3189]

Cool to see Geoff’s true love for the hobby and his family. Seems like a good dude. It can be tough to open up and share your story. Respect!

[@jaketrustin]

Chasing Cardboard is making big moves!!! 👏

[@jtbrocks]

Geoff got me back into collecting. I have a 17 month old son now and I can't wait to share this hobby with him. I hope to take him on a trip to Cards HQ one day. Both of you guys are a positive for the hobby.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Hearing from people who I got back into collecting is my biggest honor. I’m glad you will get to enjoy it with your son someday!

[@sickboy3874]

I love how much you being you and the love you have for the hobby radiates thru not only yourself but thru your videos every single time!! As a viewer and fellow collecter, I have to thank you for that 100%! Keep up the great work you do,not only does the world need more genuine people like you to view but the Hobby needs it as well! It thrives from your passion as well as Geoffs, thank you for another great video!! You are an inspiration to all of us TY as well, everyone has to remember you are technically the OG!! ✌️Keep 'em coming always interested to find out what's next!! Thank you again!!

[@collectthegame2449]

Big supporter of Geoff since day #1! Congrats! CardsHQ to the moon! 🌙

[@apuritan]

Great episode yet again. Loved it. Totally agree that you AND Geoff are influencing the hobby greatly.

[@Rob559.]

Wow! Amazing show!! 🙌

[@andycory908]

Love the fact it brings the entire family into collecting. Take us middle aged guys back to when we we're kids bringing back the excitement. Vantastic stuff. Huge respect just for helping not only make things family orientated but really you could save kids life's by introducing them into collecting and showing them the fun side and the value in collecting. Sending love from our family to yours. Beardmore Ontario Canada

[@cardconnection4322]

Ty that’s cool you helped influence Geoff. He once fan-boyed you…now you fan-boying him 😂 Learned a lot about both you guys in this video. You’re both amazing for the hobby. Keep it up!

[@NikkisCards]

Thanks for a great episode. It’s so good to see the behind the scenes. The aspect of their humanity and what motivates them. One of these days I would love to meet all the influencers that got me back into the hobby and what keeps me motivated to keep collecting

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

I enjoyed this. What a collection Geoff must have! The new facility seems to promise an amazing for everyone of all ages.

[@user-zd7ps7do8k]

Awesome video. Really genuine. I love Geoff’s passion for the hobby.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Agreed!! Thanks for tuning in.

[@FANO562]

this is one of the best episodes well done guys!! Amazing Tebow collection!

[@PackGeek]

Fantastic episode! Loved hearing all of Geoff's backstory.

[@SpursCards21]

People like to rag on Geoff all the time and I have don’t too at times but you have to admit, it’s nice seeing him sticking around unlike many others that just came and went. Thanks Guys for sharing!

[@bryanbernard1846]

Its just amazing to see how geoff started to where he is at now, with sports cards of course. He is living proof if you keep at a goal/dream you can accomplish great things and that is what geoff has done. I have been a fan of geoff’s since day 1. congrats on the card shop as well.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

So true, thanks for tuning in Bryan.

[@bhansen9468]

His wife is loaded

[@NomahLovesYah]

Great video combining two of my favorite channels! Nice job!!!

[@jaketrustin]

That sports card shop looks insane!!! If I’m ever in Atlanta, I wanna check that out.

[@Johndeplume.]

Geoff certainly has his supporters and his detractors, but after watching this great episode of Chasing Cardboard, he certainly comes across as an authentic, motivated, passionate, and thoroughly likeable family man (which are clearly key ingredients to his success). That is extremely hard to fake. I'd urge people to take ANY You Tube uploaders' investment advice with a grain of salt - esp. those with a vested interest, who stand to gain financially from driving 'hype' - and just enjoy it all for what it is... content. At the end of the day, the individual is responsible for the investment decisions THEY choose to make. Thanks to Geoff for taking us through his family home, his collection, and his vision for his shop. It's clear that Geoff has some great people behind him, and has had a lot of great advice in the whole process of his new venture (which he has taken onboard). I appreciate his honesty, his modesty in pointing out people who have influenced him along the way (including you, Ty!), and wish him well. Great episode, CC team (and thoroughly enjoyed the longer format)! 👍👍👍

[@sportscastercanada]

Fantastic conversation. 👍 I was hoping you’d make an offer for Geoff’s collection! 😉

[@weaversteelers1670]

TY ! You are right there with him as being a massive influence on this hobby we love. Your caring and heart felt approach to the people who's collections you buy just warms my heart to watch your episodes. You show how people should treat and respect each other and it always seem cards are a second thought when speaking to them. Keep up the great work and God Bless You.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Appreciate the kind words. See you next week!

[@tropoFarmer_]

Great conversation! Been following Geoff and SCI for years, but never knew the context and history behind his collecting. The deep dive into Cards HQ fascinated me - can't wait to see it open! I know Geoff gets a lot of shit, but he's really putting in the effort to help grow the hobby.

[@luca1129lp]

Can’t wait to check his store out someday

[@junichihayashi5202]

Great content as always Ty. Love watching mini-documentaries and interviews on top of all the cardboard chasing you guys do.

[@mykewarthen6792]

Can’t wait for the shop to open. My wife and I are always up there for Braves games.

[@sticktvfilmsllc777]

Two guys I wanna meet & talk sports cards with

[@concernedcitizen9175]

Sheeesh.. what a collection! Awesome episode 🙏

[@samhill93]

Ty, this was a great episode. Thanks for making Geoff feel comfortable enough to share so much. Cards HQ looks amazing btw, I think he and his team are knocking it out of the park.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrisfloto3599]

I bet that store is going to be awesome.

[@hecollectscardsDK]

Two of my favourite sports cards channels on KZbin! Keep up the great work, guys 🤩

[@stuke1976]

Good video! Interesting to see Geoff pursue his dream baseball card shop experience.

[@phllpsmatt]

Great episode! Can’t wait to visit the shop.

[@heatherjones4996]

You always do an amazing show, but I especially loved this episode! Geoff gets a lot of unfair criticism and it was refreshing to see him in his element, at home showcasing his collection, and the love he has for the hobby we all enjoy. Kudos! 👏🏼

[@bubblesnz1059]

Like every chasing cardboard vid I was liking it before even pressing play. Amazing content as always

[@angelou1]

Helluva show! I just subscribed

[@HoonAgain]

Talk about PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. Nobody takes that phrase more seriously than Geoff Wilson . Great episode.

[@yowza3994]

this should be good.... 🍿

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Hope you like it!

[@claytonclifford2323]

I would love to just flip through Geoff’s PC cause wow he’s got some grail cards for sure!

[@RetroHero1006]

Super entertaining episode. Nice to see Geoff Wilson as just a normal guy. I’ve never been into ultra modern investing in sport cards but your show ignited my vintage love of the hobby. Ive been non-sport for decades but crossing that line for that vintage baseball and basketball as of late. Btw, bring back the CCB t-shirts. I need an old school CCB shirt for my channel 😊😊😊. Thank you guys

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Yeah, we are redo'ing shirt/store... stay tuned!

[@junichihayashi5202]

I've met both Geoff (SCI) and Ryan (CC2) and one big thing with both of them is that they are absolutely great with kids. I recently got back into the hobby and I model my approach to the hobby much like these guys do. I love it, and my kids love it. And that's what this hobby is about. Collecting, having fun and passing the fun on to others.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

100%!!!!

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

My favorite episode yet Well done guys and so glad Geoff shared his story and collection and just enthusiasm for collecting. 🤙🤙

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

That's awesome! Thanks DD!

[@FatherSonVintageCards]

Wow Excellent Episode!!! 👏 👏 👏!! Really shining a positive light on @SportsCardInvestor ! Love the Family aspect of his story. Nicely Done guys 👊

[@kevinharris1480]

Geoff that was better than a Spielberg .... thanks man.

[@joshuaseaton4526]

The fact that Clyde Drexler had to be added to the team, after the fact, just shows you how underappreciated our guys are up here in the PNW.

[@Bargainhuntersthrift]

One of the nicest guys I know in the hobby , and feel blessed that we are friends !

[@buffalorockcards]

I don't get all of the Geoff haters. He seems like a genuine good guy and parent. Great show!

[@michaelh2970]

Nice job guys. I can't say it enough .

[@true_rcs]

Great content guys!

[@Dog8myhomework]

Geoff has some haters but this man understands the hustle and grind. Props to him. Thanks for sharing his story.

[@iCookieGamer]

I enjoyed your video 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥 straight fire and great ideas and fun topics 👌🏻🙏🏻

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Appreciate it!

[@dean-marr]

Great video, thanks brother 🙏

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Thanks Dean!

[@leehaskins307]

great video… this is long.. i just watched 10 mins of it tongiht.. but putt he url on my iphone and will watch it all tomorrow. !!! I dont do that often..

[@kylepatton7289]

Bobby Witt Jr stacking up over here. Come get 'em!

[@seanfoley7855]

Wow what a great episode. I think Geoff Wilson is a visionary and his card shop is going to be exactly what this hobby needs. I had my preconceived noations about Geoff and realized that's all they were what a great guy and truly a good man. Ty thank you for such a great show and this is my American Pickers sports card show. You guys are truly awesome and inspiring. I am moving to Las Vegas at the end of the month and can't wait to go see Marcels shop. I can't wait for the next show everytime I see a new episode.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Sean, seriously...we appreciate the thoughtful and encouraging comment. Hope we can meet you soon in Las Vegas!

[@donpearson2076]

money , money money money, MONEY$ Awesome story and collection.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Thanks Don!

[@shimboslice87]

I'll Move to ATL for a JOB!!!

[@albertboersma7294]

Insane amount of work there.. NO WAY THAT COLLECTION IS 2ND TOO NONE.

[@NashvegasSound]

About time you two did an episode together! Really cool that you were one of the first podcast he listened to when re-joining the hobby. Fun little episode. Now back to the cards.....

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Haha!! Back to the cards next week. Thanks for tuning in.

[@CraigBrosRacing]

I was one of Geoffs first 100 subs and his rise is simply INSPIRATIONAL... COVID almost destroyed my dreams but being locked down with his content and my childhood collection locked away till then allowed me to connect with my young daughter in away that I will never be able to express on here....THANK YOU GEOFF..and as a diehard DAWGS fan i dont hold his lizard love against him lol😅..I'm trying to open a card shop experience like his here in NC...LONG LIVE THE SPORTS CARD INVESTORS!!!!SCR OWES HIM A THANK YOU TOO without a punching bag those bullies wouldn't have half the audience they have now..

[@Lord_Cardboard]

If I'm not mistaken, his shop's going to be right down the road from Truist Park (Braves), not too far from the Home Depot HQ. I lived in that area about 15 years ago and loved it. Great spot for a sports card/multimedia venture that'll not only draw in retail customers and the online crowd but also open up the door to discounts from distributors.

[@T-TiiMe]

Couldn't stop watching this one. Geoff is a polarizing figure, but deep down it seems like he has a pretty good heart.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Awesome!! Glad to hear it!

[@toddhelline6343]

That was AWESOME! This put my two favorite content creators together for some great, wholesome, content

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Really appreciate that Todd!!

[@heddie59]

Geoff has the best collection hands down

[@billthehofcollector4525]

I’ll have to check it out when I visit fam in ATL.

[@remygoncalves2645]

Great convo! Jeff’s hater s should watch this. Truly a good guy and great father!

[@DanRipz]

I have 4 David Robinson cards, hand signed by the Admiral himself. I sent those cards to the Alamo in 1993 when I was a 13 yr old. He returned all the cards, once he even sent me a cassette tap and a signed autobiography.

[@lonardgetchell-bm9lc]

When I saw Geoff purchase the "Dream Team" set at the National I became jealous. I got to see that team play in Portland.

[@jaykobbcarrasco304]

Favorite episode ever

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Wow. Great to hear. Appreciate it!

[@M3LODFS]

Geoff is the DJ Khalid of the sport card game 🔥🔥

[@realliveboss5381]

Another one!💯

[@garylee3893]

This is interesting, cool man, sports card radio scandalizes Geoff. But he's just a dude getting his hustle on, good stuff. Thx guys

[@Rubbersidedown2020.]

Crazy Basketball collection from Geoff! 92 team set was incredible

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Absolutely amazing set!

@@CHASINGCARDBOARD Now I’m really disappointed, I missed last year due to work commitments! Great episode.

[@randyworden5232]

Great episode Ty...it was nice to see that there is a LOT of substance to Geoff as opposed to what I perceived previously. Smart, likeable and successful.

[@JKaiser25]

Too nice of a house to not have a decent coffee machine

[@jaketrustin]

😂

[@killerwestwolfgaming353]

Would love to see you or him do app that let's you scan your collection without fees or scan limits I think collectors want to have a digital library of the cards in the boxes I hope you guys do something like that I would scan so many to have a ideal of what I have so many collectors don't even know what they have and a simple scan app that's free would be epic

[@b-man1232]

Does Geoff do this in a full-time basis now? I know he owned some kind of an Investment Business and did cards on the side. Interested to know if this is full-time gig going forward....anyone know??

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Not sure how much time it consumes for him… but he’s got a large team

[@jaxlee3226]

This was a nice change of pace! Have always respect Geoff, but never felt like I knew him. This was probably a more important episode for him then he might think.

[@kenscardboard]

Great insight on how Geoff got back into the hobby. He goes big with everything.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

No doubt about that!

[@davidtrotter3836]

I like Geoff. He seems like a nice guy. Positive influence in the hobby and seems like a hard worker.

[@thestairdoctor]

I have boxes and boxes of old sports cards from when i was a kid. My dad used to bring home boxes and boxes every couple days. about 30 year old sealed boxes. I pulled so many cards that show very high value if graded well but nervous about what to do next. I need some help. all of my cards are raw. Whats the first step i should take with my collection. I have Ludex on my phone and I'm currently adding my collection on there but Im really just going in circles here. Last time i was doing this I was 12 years old . Now I'm 40 and have a whole collection in my attic .

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail] -happy to help
