The Billard makes for some amazing hubbing plates.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Yes they do!!!

[@FrankZen]

I'm literally about to do the same around here and the ones I want aren't even VINTAGE vintage. I'm going to ask about a couple of them after I secure them.

[@vintageweightspgh]

Go get em! And sure, send questions anytime.

[@fwiffo42]

So many cool plates in there! When you get a big haul like this, will you try and sell everything you don’t want to keep in a single go or piece it out?

[@vintageweightspgh]

I make sets of the common brands/styles to sell. Locally, sets tend to sell quicker around me. I post the more valuable stuff individually for sale on eBay usually.

[@johnkelley6278]

Just subscribed to this great channel. This is also my hobby. Hope I can find a video on Jack Lalane Olympic plates which I own but can't seem to find out who and when Jack Lalane plates were manufactured. I am going to enjoy this channel. THANKS!

[@vintageweightspgh]

That’s so kind of you! Thanks for watching and commenting. I have a video about Legacy plates which were the economy line from Jack Lalanne.

[@nannybannany]

If you find some old Dan Lurie's I would be fascinated to hear you talk about them. I know theres a lot of non-value around them (based on reading Reddit) but I inherited a whole set of barbell and dumbbell plates from my FIL. I'm new to lifting so theyre functional for me but I enjoy your history lessons.

[@nannybannany]

Edit: I think the dumbbells are Dan Lurie. I saw some York plates for the barbell just now when I was down there. So I'll have to go watch your videos on those!

[@vintageweightspgh]

I have an episode of Lift History Podcast dedicated to Dan Lurie coming up!

[@Stranger_Grip]

Nice haul Rob!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks man! I love when big pickups appear near me.

[@jimsvo4486]

The billards look much like my Roberts.

[@vintageweightspgh]

A lot of the standard plates look alike. Many made at the same foundries. I love Robert’s.

[@carps_gym]

Bring on the spin lock collar video when you get them restored and/or cleaned up

[@vintageweightspgh]

For sure!

[@6AnAsianGuy9]

This is some real life instances right here!

[@vintageweightspgh]

Haha yep. This is a real method of getting rare of weights.

[@scooobyj8714]

Wow. That is a great buy

[@vintageweightspgh]

Thanks! I was very excited!

[@bishop2355]

Question, when will you have your complete, I guess dream set? Or better yet, when will you stop buying these vintage weights? Do you plan on buying and selling them off or...?

[@vintageweightspgh]

I just got my dream set, the Jackson Olympic weight set. I need the 10oz, 1.25, 12.5, and 15s for the set. I’d like to find Jackson globe dumbbells. And anything else is just fun haha. It keeps me motivated to go into the gym and train. I just used the trap bar that came with this haul this morning. I was excited all day yesterday thinking, man, the trap bar is cleaned up, I cant wait to train tomorrow!

[@tonygoodwin9000]

Good pick up like the deep dish plates

[@vintageweightspgh]

I love deep dish!

[@carps_gym]

On the Road with Rob

[@vintageweightspgh]

Heck yeah!

[@user-ui7jw8ow4f]

I’m new to this scene. I have the choice between York milled 25s or Canada international 25s. Which should I go with and why?

[@vintageweightspgh]

Depending on your location, they’re really about the same value right now. $1.50ish a pound to maybe $2. So setting aside value, it’s preference of deep dish vs not and made in USA vs not. The York “hockey puck” 25s aren’t that great to handle but the milling is cool. Deep dish are supreme in my opinion. Although Canada deep dish aren’t that deep. IMO, it’s a narrow toss up, but I just love deep dish, so the Canada. Here’s a short video I made about them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXJeamum9hpepYsi=W1DO83w0Kn6oqZAf

[@user-ui7jw8ow4f]

@@vintageweightspgh I agree. I was leaning toward the deep dish for preference so I’m glad to know I’m not sacrificing value. Love the content! Thanks!

[@Gnoll-1337]

Gosh how long is it going to take to restore all those? 😥

[@vintageweightspgh]

Honestly, I used to clean up and restore every single weight plate that I brought home even ones that I didn’t intend on keeping. However, I’m just too busy to do that so now I balance the price of offloading them versus how much time I have to restore them.
