My 2024 National Experience w/pickups.

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

Hey CK, I am glad you a great time in Italy. I was not at the National. I was at baseball and softball tournaments for two of my kids. It would have been nice to meet you. Nice Andy Bathgate card. He has a beautiful run of cards and the 57 is no exception. Maybe the most underrated superstar of his era. Congrats on your first 50s Mantle. I am especially fond of cards between 56 and 64 when the Mick was in his prime. Very cool. Love the 50 and 51 Bowmans. I look forward to your video on them. The Canadeo is one of my favorite cards. Fans today don’t realize what a big deal the kicking game was back then. The player in the back of the 68 Rose is Mickey Mantle. It is the photo from the 65 Topps World Series card. Awesome Yaz rookie. I am glad you found one you liked.

@@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648 good to hear from you Terry. I’d say you were in the right places for your kids! Thanks for the comments. It seemed the Yaz rookie was fairly priced to me. And they gave me a 5% cash discount. I really love it. Well, if I’d been smart, I’d stopped by the SGC booth to drop off the football cards for grading. Gotta say maybe the highlight was the Bathgate. So happy to add that card to my growing hockey collection! Take care Terry and I look forward to your next video!

Enjoyed hearing about your time at the National. Congrats on all your awesome pickups. I really like the Yastrzemski rookie. I think it looks great. Glad you picked up your 50's Mantle. Thank you for sharing your experiences at the show.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@lynnkruse3231 You bet Lynn! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! The Mantle was unexpected. But the Yaz, was really nice to find in the half grade! Motivates me to keep going on his player run.

[@vintageonvintage817]

Welcome back from Italy, my wife and I are headed there for 17 days in September! You had a very busy and productive Sunday at the National! I have found that Sundays are not bad days to go, the dealers are sometimes more open to negotiating so they don't have to hall it home. Sweet Bathgate card, that is a beauty! Love the 58 Mantle Allstar, adding a 50s Mantle is sweet! I am a big fan of the 69 Allstar crds, great looking Rose. Sweet Yaz RC, congrats!

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@vintageonvintage817 Thank you, Steve. When I saw your recent Mantle AS pickup, I thought you would like that. If you’ve never been, Italy will be a treat. If you have it will be even better. I would go back. Hope it is a great trip.

[@CleanCheapShots]

Lot of teasers for future videos today. Cash for Cash - no pun intended. lol Congratz on all of your pickups.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@CleanCheapShots hahaha. Thank you, Drew. I actually enjoyed being on my own for my first National. But, it would have been neat to be there to experience the elation of others getting some of their dream cards. There’s always next year.

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Congrats on your purchases. Love the Bathgate and Mantle! Beautiful cards. Thanks for the shout out on the gem mint 2.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@billyballgamesportscards You’re welcome. More card collectors need to go see your Aaron. Happy to shout you out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RobCashCards]

Great pickups! Congrats on the Yaz rookie. You found a terrific example. Also, the Mantle and Rose are awesome. Take care and have a great week!

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@RobCashCards that means a lot Rob about the Yaz. I was having some doubts about it. But it fits my collection well I think. Most I ever spent on a card. Thanks again. You have a great week too!

[@Hodges1455]

Gave a video like. Sweet pick-ups! Loved all those early 50's football cards! The Mantle and Rose cards are really cool! Wow, that Yaz rookie is terrific!! Looks like you had a great show! Congrats and thanks for sharing

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@Hodges1455 Thank you, Brian! Glad you loved the football cards. I’m going to get most of them graded and share them in the future! I’m very happy with the Yaz rookie. It seems to fit me and my collection. Most I’ve spent on a card. So I’ve had some trepidation about it. So thanks for the kind words! See you on your next one!

[@davidm686]

That Andy Bathgate is exceptional! Awesome Rose and Mantle and the Yaz is such a stunner. Huge congrats man. The Bowman football cards are beauties. Sounds like an awesome time

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@davidm686 thank you, David. Appreciate your support! The Bathgate and Yaz were great bookends to a really nice way to spend a Sunday! Take care!

[@kenscardboard]

Sounds like you made a great day of the one day at the National. I left in the afternoon around 2:00 on Saturday. Nice looking Rose all-star. Of course the Yaz is a great looking card and glad you were able to add it to your collection. I was at the Payne’s Cards table for a while with Dylan looking at his great displays. I didn’t end up buying anything from him, but you found a nice run of Bowman football. Love the 57-58 Topps Andy Bathgate card. I will eventually get a card from that set.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@kenscardboard thanks for the great comment here. I really thought I got kinda rolled a bit at the Payne table with the football cards. My inexperience definitely showed. Glad you think it was a nice run. I do love those old bowmans. Definitely was a highlight to score the Bathgate. The ‚57 topps set may be my fave fifties hockey set. So much color. Would be interested in trading notes with you if you are on hockey card pickups. There are a galaxy of possibilities in hockey cards! Take care, Ken!

[@PickerJimS]

Italy! My wife and I are planning a trip there, can’t wait! I didn’t know you were at the National, bummer we didn’t get a chance to meet! You had some sweet pickups! The 58 Mantle All Star is such an under rated card! You know I love that 60 Yaz!

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@PickerJimS i was just there Sunday and pretty laser-focused on the tables, as time was of the essence. So, I may have missed you unfortunately. Italy was nice. But it was very hot. 98-100 degrees each day. Take care Jim!

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

Congrats on your first 50s Mantle. That is one of my favorite All-Star Designs. Nice addition there. Love the Bowman football cards as well. Sounds like you missed all the festivities for theYou Tube community get together. Wife and I are pretty serious about going to the Chicago nationals next year. Always enjoy and thanks for sharing with us buddy.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@vintagecardssteve8582 Thank you Steve! I appreciate your support. You should go next year. There are way more hotels, restaurants, and things to do by the Rosemont center in Chicago! That’s a big reason why I went this year on the last day only. There’s nothing nearby to the IX center in Cleveland. Hopefully, I will make it to the KZbin meet and greet next year. Thanks again for the kind words.

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

My first thought was I missed you at the show !! 🤔 but than you said you were there on Sunday so I feel better 😊. Huge congrats on your first 50’s Mantle and to me one of his best !!! Love the hockey pick up as well. 👊🤙🤙

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards Thanks Dylan. I was a little slow going this year coming back from vacation. I thought I would make the show by Saturday afternoon. But that didn’t happen. Next year in Chicago, I plan to be there multiple days. You had awesome pickups this year. I wish I could have been there to watch you pick those great cards up. Take care. 👊🏻🤙🏼

[@unc23sports]

Glad you had the opportunity to attend the National! Nice Hockey pick-up with Bathgate! Great 50s Mantle as your 1st ever! Incredible vintage football cards! That is cool that you're going to pick up cards that you can tell a story about. Sorry for the annoying experience with the Charlie Hussle card 😂 Glad you added the Pete Rose to your collection. Thanks for sharing, Cincinnati Kid!d!

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@unc23sports really appreciate you Dre. Your positiveness is infectious! Thank you for saying all that. Sorry I haven’t been watching your vids recently. I will try to catch up soon! Take care!

[@unc23sports]

@@The_Cincinnati_Kid I appreciate your support. As a fellow content creator, I know how busy it is to keep up with so much content. No worries on trying to catch up on vids. I do recommend my All-Star team ballot video...there might be someone on that squad you recognize 😉 😆 Mrs. Diaz wants to know what part of Italy did you visit? She's Italian but has never visited yet. Take care, my friend

[@MarksDodgersCards]

Congrats on the pickups. Really like the Rose even if the dealer wasn’t the best. It’s a great example!

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@MarksDodgersCards Thanks Mark. That dealer was a minor speed bump on an otherwise spectacular day. Appreciate you watching!

[@LandP-RIPPING]

I’m a hockey fan and that was a great looking card, some great pickups, thanks for sharing

Awesome pickups, congrats

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@ACollectorsDream Thank you, Orlando.

[@ScaryTerryCards]

I hope you had a fun time. I heard most of the dealers were charging high prices for cards. Have a great week! I recently pulled my first MICKEY MANTLE from 2024 Topps Series 2 Hanger.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@ScaryTerryCards congrats on the Mantle! I was surprised that more dealers weren’t that willing to make a deal in the waning hours of the last day. I kinda got that sense early, but I was able to negotiate ok for the Mantle and Rose. The Bowman football cards, the dealer gave me a couple dollars off, but I could again sense this was a take or leave it price. So I payed for the time to sort through hundreds of cards. I didn’t want that time wasted trying to talk him down $20 or $30. Thanks for watching!

[@ImOnlySIeeping]

high sticker but everyone i interacted with was willing to negotiate a reasonable price

[@CraigsCards62]

Congrats on the pickups

[@Bruinshockeycards]

I was standing next to you when you bought that Bathgate. I was picking up a couple of Bruins cards from that same dealer

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@Bruinshockeycards welcome Paul! And thanks for subscribing. What a small world. I was eyeing the ‘71 Orr in SGC 5. Did you pick that one up?

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

PS: I subscribed you back!

[@MrGretzky9966]

Congratulations on the New York Rangers player. I heard there isn’t much hockey at the national at all. I’m a huge hockey collector especially Wayne Gretzky.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@MrGretzky9966 I saw a few tables with vintage hockey cards. But not a ton.

[@geezmikey]

you got some nice cards, not going to lie but i was hesitant my self asking for discounts, until i just started throwing numbers out there thanks to mike as well, i came to realize, you can always find the same card cheaper else where. if it doesnt work in your favor "the numbers" its okay to walk away but just knowing what the card youre looking at, what theyre going for else where. i dont buy big name cards at shows, just knowing i can find them cheaper on ebay.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@geezmikey very good points Mikey! Thanks for sharing that. Several cards I saw definitely would be cheaper on eBay, so I passed on a lot of cards. I didn’t think I was going to get a “big” card at all until the Yaz at the very end. Definitely a learning experience for me.

[@ImOnlySIeeping]

def not always cheaper on ebay

[@ImOnlySIeeping]

i was looking for high grade 52-56 commons and didnt find a single table with them, somehow every table was full of HOFers in those sets though

[@ImOnlySIeeping]

hope you didnt pay more than $40 on the bathgate

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

@@ImOnlySIeeping Thank you!
