Last pick ups before the National

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

Awesome auravision Mark! Thanks for the shout out my friend. You got a great deal on it. I personally wouldn’t punch out the center. There is a you tube channel that plays all of the records if you want to listen to it. Punching it out is considered to be less appealing within the hobby. If you don’t care about that then I say put it on a player and enjoy it. I am personally only buying unpunched records.

I found it on KZbin and listened to it. Pretty cool. Going to keep it in tact.

Great pick ups, Mark. Love the Auravision Drysdale. I would keep it whole and listen to the content of the record by doing a quick search on KZbin. Great looking Bell card. Cheers!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks so much! I did just that. Listened to on KZbin. That was fun.

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Nice share Mark. Gotta love that George Bell. Love seeing anything Drysdale. Thanks for sharing

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks so much!

Some sweet pick-ups Mark! That George Bell is a beauty and you know I love the Drysdale record! Looking forward to seeing what you pick up at the National.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to seeing what I pick up too! 🤣

I love the Auravisions and have wanted to get some for a long time now. The photos on them are awesome! Sounds like you got a great deal on the ones you picked up. I too would want to play them, so may have to get two copies of some - one unpunched and one punched. Keep collecting!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks! Someone commented to search KZbin and they are all recorded there so I was able to hear it without punching it out. Pretty cool!

[@Hodges1455]

Gave a video like. Great pick-up with the George Bell! That card looks great! Really like the Drysdale record too!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thank you so much! Was super happy with them.

[@zachandporter]

New subscriber, look forward to your content. Whoa, that Drysdale is huge!!! I didn't know any of that about Bell. I always have to be careful when doing immaculate grid when I search that name, and not get confused with the Bell from the 90's. That back on the Bell is crisp!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks a lot and great to be connected!

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

Great stuff, my friend! Drysdale is wildly underrated.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks and I agree. He was my number one guy to collect when I was a kid.

[@rnklv8281]

Nice pickups. The Dodgers did release (years ago) a 33 1/3 RPM record/recording on Don Drysdale's record setting (at the time) consecutive scoreless innings in a season over a span of several "shutout "games. It included both a story telling narration and audio game footage (Vin Scully). Sadly, Sen. Robert Kennedy was assassinated at the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel shortly after he had won the California Democratic Primary and after Drysdale tossed a shutout (at Dodger Stadium) to extend his scoreless inning streak.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks- and thanks for the tip. I’ll have to check that out. A great childhood memory of mine was when Hershiser eclipsed that record.

[@CollectingMaddux1987]

Falling into the Aura Vision rabbit hole with Jason, I see. Great George Bell

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Just a little, I need the Koufax. Haven’t looked at the checklist but I think they’re the only Dodgers so I should be okay 🤣

[@michaelyoung7974]

Landmark pickup on the Auravision Drysdale! Those are scarce. As I recall my history, Brooklyn didn't have too good a team early in the 20th century, so that may also partly ameliorate Bell's lifetime record.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Yes- their hitting was terrible! He definitely suffered from a lack of run support. I should have mentioned that.

[@RobCashCards]

Great pickups, Mark! The Bell is a beautiful card! I say don’t punch the hole in the Drysdale but it’s your choice. Maybe you can find one already punched for cheap and listen to it??? Take care and have a great weekend!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Thanks! Already decided not to punch the Drysdale out. Someone pointed me to the recording on KZbin! We can find everything here!

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

Nice pickups. Search the record on KZbin and you likely find it. I would leave it unpunched.

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Oh- I should have thought of that. Great idea. I’ll try that.
