My #1 National Card came early ! I'm so happy to have added this to the Mathews Run.

[@Valuevintagecards-Aaron]

Excellent pickup! Those cards from 53 take on a new life in high grade! So vibrant and awesome.

[@CraigsCards62]

thanks so much for watching & dropping a comment. Yes, I agree a quality 53 Bowman with good registration really looks nice. I am very satisfied with this card, after looking for quite awhile.

[@robertsprings3591]

Sweet Eddie Matthews cards and a great video, Mr Pastor Craig's Vintage Cards. Have a good one and a great Sunday to you and ✌️ Mr Pastor Craig's Vintage Cards.

Thanks Robert. I always appreciate your comments & encouragement.

[@thedrewavintagelegacy6455]

Congratulations. What a beautiful example of a great card.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Drew, I am glad that I was patient to wait for the right one for me and my budget

[@RobCashCards]

Beautiful Mathews collection! I just started getting into his cards. Picked up his 64 this past weekend. Thanks for sharing!

[@CraigsCards62]

@RobCashCards thank you for watching and leaving a comment. He has many nice cards, and most are affordable. Hopefully, you can pick up some more!

[@vintageoddballcards6103]

Fantastic pickup! Looks great! Congrats!

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Rick, appreciate the comment. I am glad I was patient and waited for the right one to become available that fits my budget and what I desired in that particular card

[@RipFan8]

Hi Craig. Congrats on picking up a real beauty. Such a wonderful eye appealing card. Nice run of Mathew cards, some real beauties. So happy for you, getting that run down to the rookie. Looking forward to seeing you pick this up whenever the time comes. See you soon my friend.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Stephen - really happy with it. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks in Cleveland

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Great Eddie Mathews run here. He has some beautiful cards in my opinion. I think his 1954 is one of my favorites but overall i think he has fantastic lookong cards. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CraigsCards62]

Steve, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I agree that the 54 is one of his best cards - I really like the 1960 & 1965 as well. Again, thanks for watching.

[@vintagesanctuary]

Craig, your new '53 Bowman Mathews is quite the stunner! 🤯🤯🤯 What a centered, chip-free, and vibrant '55 Bowman Mathews! You have a really sharp Mathews run! Congrats! Down to the grail '52 Topps and perhaps a couple of upgrades! Looking forward to seeing you at the Big Show, my collecting brother! 😊👊

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Adam for watching and leaving a comment 👍. I am glad that I was patient with this card. A couple of times, I almost "settled " & I know I would have been disappointed. I'm really looking forward to meeting you at the big show ... 😀 again thanks for the comment

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

Beautiful card Craig! I love the 53 color set. Congrats my friend!

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Jason! Love this set and this card - glad that I remained patient for the right one to show up in my budget requirements.

[@vintageonvintage817]

That one is a beauty Craig! Congrats!

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Steve. Yes, it really looks nice & I am glad I waited for the right one for me & my budget.

[@TCBsprtscards]

Looks amazing, great pickup! Have a great rest of your weekend!

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching & leaving a comment - really a sharp card & very happy with it.

[@warrendinCLE]

So happy for you my friend. It is a beauty

[@4softcorners728]

Congrats on that epic pickup! One of his best cards and that is a beautiful copy. He has a great run of 50s cards.

[@theathletearchives]

Very nice to see an Eddie collection.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Appreciate the compliment on the Mathews run.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Amazing pick-up, Craig! To me, the Topps run from 53-56 are some of the most beautiful cards ever made. I also love all the Res Man cards! I don't own any, but I really need to add a Musial. Congrats once again, and thanks for showing your 50s run.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching a dropping a comment, Billy. I am really happy with this card & that I remained patient instead of settling. Looking forward to meeting you @ the National.

[@TheCardDeal]

Gotta go 53T as my favorite. Awesome Bowman pick up, great color.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Yes, I think the 53 T is an awesome looking card - one of my favorites and hard to find with the black bottom not chipped badly.

[@godisgreat8462]

Awesome my friend 🎉

[@CraigsCards62]

Thank you, Titus. Appreciate all you do in the YT community

[@criteriumracer]

I'm short of the 52 on the Eddie mathews run too, including all stars, fence busters ect. It will never be in my budget. Right now the 54 topps is my favorite. Love the color top. Congrats on the pickup

[@Bostnfn]

Great run!!! The 53 does look great - almost new even.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching & dropping a comment. I agree the 53 Bowman is really sharp -- 71 years old & looks great

[@Brian-pf7qq]

The Bowman Mathews cards are really sharp, some people don't like the 55 Bowman but I like the TV cards

[@CraigsCards62]

Hey Brian - I do like the 55 Bowmans as well, especially when they are in good shape - that wood grain border chips so easy. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, much appreciated.

[@joyofcardboard3230]

That 53 Bowman is a beauty!! I also need the 52, for my HoF rookie collection, I'm saving my pennies too that one's going to be brutal.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. I am very pleased with the 53 Bowman addition. The 52 T Mathews will certainly be a challenge. I let one slip away a few years ago, it was in my financial abilities, and I didn't pull the trigger, and when I decided to do it, the card was gone. Still kick myself for procrastinating on that one.

[@mathbowler2782]

Wow that's an impressive collection of Eddie Mathews cards.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks 👍. Really happy with the new addition 😀

[@LouRokTV]

Wow, impressive Matthew’s collection

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks, Lou, for dropping a comment, I appreciate it. Hoping to run into you @ the National.

[@memphis370z]

Beautiful cards! I've been chasing the '53 Bowman in a 5 but just can't find the "right one."

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks for watching & I appreciate the comment. Hoping you find the right 5 for you. Patience is the key - just don't settle for an inferior one.

[@peterb4871]

Very nice Matthews cards

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks Peter, 👍 appreciate the comment and compliments 👍

[@legendsofthedugout4899]

Congrats Craig on the pick up!! Nice run of Mathews, hope you find the 52 soon!! See you soon my friend!!

[@CraigsCards62]

Dave, thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😀 👍 I'm really happy to be down to needing the 52 Topps. Now I need to continue to save money 💰 to get that card.

[@TJ_Is_Online]

Congrats on the Ed addition. Love his 53 Bowman to 55 Bowman cards. 53 being my fav of his Bowman cards. When you are ready for the 52 Topps Ed, let me know if you need any help looking as it’s among my fav all-time cards. As you said, there’s time to get it.

[@CraigsCards62]

Thanks TJ, I appreciate the comment. I agree, I think the Mathews best cards are his Bowman cards. I am glad that I was patient enough to find the right one for me & my budget. I almost "settled" @ Strongsville for a lesser quality card - glad that I walked away.

[@TJ_Is_Online]

@@CraigsCards62 - are you on Instagram? I have a picture of my 52 Topps Ed there. Have not made a KZbin video with it yet. Took me over 35 years (35. No lie) to settle on mine.
