Dipping my toes into pre-war cards, a small SGC return and other recent pickups.

[@jon-eriksuermann9844]

Great pickups! The Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum collection I pursue is what took me to pre-war because of players like Hornsby, Medwick, Haines, Hafey, Frisch, Dean, Martin, Bottomley, Moore, Kurowski, etc, etc. some of my favorite sets I picked up cards from for the collection are the Diamond Stars, Batter Up, and double play.

[@JoeWoodCollector-Doug]

Hi Joe 👋 Thanks for sharing some nice cards with us and delighted to hear about your introduction to the prewar world.

[@Redneckclector]

@@JoeWoodCollector-Doug thanks Doug! I’m excited to start dabbling in pre-war. I appreciate you watching.

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

Those Premiums are fantastic! Now that you have dipped your toe, it's a whole new world! Congrats on a great addition to the collection.

[@Redneckclector]

@@Valuevintagecards-Aaron Aaron, the only thing I’m afraid of is for my budget. I have an idea of where I want to start, or at least a short list. We shall see. Thanks for watching.

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

@@Redneckclector I hear ya! There are some solid value options for sure. 39 to 41 Playball, Diamond Stars, even T206 has several hof players that are reasonably priced. Just can't do Cobb and Ruth without paying some big coin.

[@RobCashCards]

Hi Joe! Awesome additions to your collection as always. You have a great eye for vintage cards. As far as pre-war goes, I say buy what you like. I haven’t gone there yet, but I have been looking into it. I did come close to buying a tobacco card at yesterday’s show. Thanks for sharing your pickups and have a great night, my friend!

[@Redneckclector]

@@RobCashCards thanks Rob! I appreciate the kind words. I’m going to try not to go full bore on pre war, but I’ll definitely pick things up if they speak to me.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

I'm with you, Joe! I want it all! Amazing pickups. You got some amazing cards! That Drysdale and Ford is amazing. Nice return from SGC. That Medwick is awesome. I'm intentionally not going to prewar yet because there are so many awesome ca4ds from the 40s-70s I need! My first initial dips will be for the Cardinals like Medwick, Hornsby, Dizzy, Britches, and those types of guys. Awesome video, my friend! Congrats!

[@Redneckclector]

@@billyballgamesportscards hey Billy! There are so many cards that I want from that era as well, so that will definitely be my focus. I just can’t promise I will stay the course. More Gas House Gang pick ups are likely. Thanks for watching!

[@W238thStreet]

I feel your struggle with irons in the fire. Window shopping quickly becomes a new side project lolol. Great cards.

[@Redneckclector]

@@W238thStreet man, the window shopping is dangerous, but I just can’t help myself. Always leads to some new project. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@W238thStreet]

@@Redneckclector so dangerous. The "windows" open, and all of a sudden my wife is pulling 5 more small padded envelopes out of the mailbox giving me a look.

[@Redneckclector]

@@W238thStreet I get the same look from my wife often. Glad to know I’m not alone.

[@Peacemakercards]

Great cards. Pre-war is definitely a very deep rabbit hole, I've started to dip my toe into that hole too.

[@Redneckclector]

@@Peacemakercards I feel like Alice Wonderland. I just hope I can afford it. Good luck with your journey. Any pre war targets higher on your list? Thanks for watching!

[@Peacemakercards]

@@Redneckclector I'm currently working on the T206 Cincinnati Reds team. I have 4 of the 23 cards.

[@Redneckclector]

@@Peacemakercards very cool! Good luck with the hunt.

[@MrJmangini]

Great Ducky

[@Redneckclector]

@@MrJmangini thank you! I’m pretty proud of it.

[@3D80sKid]

Come on Joe, the pre-war water feels fine. Jump on in. LOL Honestly just learning about all of the many different sets that exist has been so much fun. I steered clear of rookies knowing I wanted to go pre-war. The Medwick is a great looking addition.

[@Redneckclector]

@@3D80sKid thanks John! You’re a bad influence like the rest of them. I knew it was only a matter of time before I went down this road. The Medwick was a nice place to start. I appreciate you watching!

[@RipFan8]

Hi Joe. Really nice per-war photo. I tend to agree with you on PSA and their measurement issue, and I've heard a lot of people say that lately. I love the look of those SGC slabs, and that Doby is nice. I really agree with you on Greg Morris. I have stopped buying from them the past year, as they definitely over grade a lot of their cards. Love seeing those raw cards you picked up, they all look really sharp and of course that 59 Drysdale is super nice. Can wait to see what grade you`ll get for it. Same as the Ford card. Not great packaging for sure. Thanks for sharing my friend, talk soon pal.

[@Redneckclector]

@@RipFan8 hey Stephen! I wish Psa would figure out the measurement thing. I get that grading is subjective, but measuring shouldn’t be. One of the members of my group yesterday told a horror story about Greg Morris, so I’m hesitant to buy from them again. I appreciate you watching.

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

Joe fun video great Ryans and Brett RC yess but yes you need a Yount RC 😜👊 cant help but notice that willie mays book in the back ground such a great book. Alright let me get back to the show 👊🤙🤙

[@Redneckclector]

@@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards thanks Dylan! The Yount RC is on my short list. I just finished that Mays book recently and I loved every page of it. I have a much deeper appreciation for Mays after reading it. I appreciate you watching.

[@doug_sports_collector]

Nice Medwick piece, never seen that one before, nice Musial and '59's.

[@Redneckclector]

@@doug_sports_collector thanks Doug! I was familiar with the regular Dixie Lids, but this was the first Premium I had seen. Happy to have it in the collection. Thanks for watching!

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

Awesome Dixie lid premium Joe! Bob feller has an awesome Dixie premium lid as well. I actually have a 1936 Goudey wide pen of ducky coming back from SGC.

[@Redneckclector]

@@EverydayCardCollector-Jason thanks John! I was actually looking at ‘36 Goudey and just missed out on it, but I love these Dixie Lids. I need to check out the Feller too. I appreciate you watching.

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

@@Redneckclector maybe I bought the Goudey lol. I bought an ungraded one online and I actually have it coming back from SGC now. It would be kinda funny. I was actually looking at the Dixie premium you bought.

[@Redneckclector]

@@EverydayCardCollector-Jason I’m sure it was probably the same one! Great minds think alike.

[@OlSargeCollects]

I highly recommend looking into the 1934-36 Diamond Stars set. Especially for your Cardinals. There’s a great Joe Ducky Medwick and a Rogers Hornsby.

[@Redneckclector]

@@OlSargeCollects thank you! I have that Medwick in my sights. A very cool card. I appreciate you watching.

[@peterb4871]

Congratulations on your prewar cards. Jump in all the way, the waters fine.

[@Redneckclector]

@@peterb4871 haha! That’s what everyone keeps telling me. I’m glad to finally start the journey. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.

[@VintageCardWonderland]

New subscriber recommended by John Mangini. I really enjoyed your video. You have a great eye for cards. Love the 59 topps. Fantastic set of raw beauties!

[@Redneckclector]

@@VintageCardWonderland thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and the sub. 59 Topps is really growing on me.

[@SammyThunder]

Joe, thanks for sharing your pickups! The 59's are incredibly well centered and I'd be curious to know what they grade at if you decide to send them in. The 58 AS's are weird with SGC. Sometimes they grade really well and other times, they don't. It's a bit of a 50/50 dice roll with them, but nevertheless, it's better than it not being slabbed at all.

[@Redneckclector]

@@SammyThunder hey Sammy! Thanks for watching. I will definitely be grading the ‘59s and will do a video when they return. I was definitely happy to get the 58 Musial slabbed even though they were hard on it. Might be a card I look to upgrade in the future.

@@redrum2612 Howdy Red! Thanks for stopping by and watching. I really appreciate it!

[@CleanCheapShots]

PSA has a lot of problems to include measuring cards. lol If it is deemed authentic and not trimmed, then why not grade a card that is allegedly "min size?" Congrats on your pickups.

[@Redneckclector]

@@CleanCheapShots hey Drew! I absolutely agree with you. They need to figure it out. Maybe they can get the SGC graders on a Zoom call and learn something. Thanks for watching.
