Wow what a countdown. I think my top 100 would literally switch positions as I was filming the video, lol. Seems like you had a lot of focus when deciding what made the cut. I'm sure you did a lot of work putting this together and I appreciate that. You have some fantastic versions of these cards Darren. Always a pleasure checking out your cards and commentary!

Thanks Sammy! It was tough to get the final list. The bottom 5 cards were moving on and off the list on the daily. I had to put a line in the sand, which bumped my 55 Clemente out of the top 10. We'll see where they all land next year. I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching and commenting!

So many incredible cards. The Hughie Jennings is my favorite, don't have one of him yet. Great player. Sweet looking card of him, love the old English Detroit D on his jersey. The '53 Topps Paige is one of the all-time greatest cards. The '64 Topps Stand-Up of Clemente is such a cool card with him throwing. The Sisler is so fun, can't wait to grab one of his cards. The Exhibits of Hornsby is a stunning card. All great cards, thanks for sharing!

Did we know your wife has a collection too? Must’ve missed that somewhere but that’s pretty cool. Awesome cards and just beautiful eye appeal on all. My favorites are the Sanella Ruth & 53 Paige. I don’t own either but appreciate them. Thanks for sharing Darren. Looking forward to Part 2.

Great countdown. It’s amazing to see prewar RC’s having less value than a 70’s high grade cards. Of course given the grades you have them in….but there just aren’t too many prewar cards floating around as compared to 70’s vintage lol. It’s amazing to me. 👍🏽

Wow what an awesome recap of the top cards in your collection from 100 to 51! It's really interesting to see how cards have moved up and down the rankings from last year. Clearly modern cards like Trout, Jeter, and Bryant have taken some big hits in value recently. At the same time, it's cool to see some vintage cards that have climbed like the Greenberg and Keeler rookies. It's also neat how you've incorporated cards from your wife's Mickey Mantle collection into the rankings. Mantle is one of the all-time greats and it's special that you each have cards dedicated to your favorite players. I can really appreciate all the nostalgic aspects of your collection too. It's great that you were able to rediscover cards from when you were a kid like the Greenberg and Williams. Those must have extra sentimental value knowing their history. And who doesn't love the Fleer Billy Ripken error card? That was such an iconic oddball from when I was growing up collecting too. Beyond nostalgia, it's also neat how your collection spans such a wide range of eras from the very early 20th century icons like Cobb, Speaker, and Ruth all the way to modern stars. You've clearly amassed an incredible collection over many years of dedication. Watching recaps like this also gives me inspiration for continuing to build my own collection. While it will never compare to the breadth and depth of what you've put together, it's motivating to see the joy someone can get from curating a collection focused on their favorite players and moments from the history of the sport. Grading is also an aspect I'm still learning about, and it's fascinating to see the conditions and grades of the stars in your collection. I think videos like this that let collectors virtually visit other collections are so fun and interesting. It gives a glimpse into someone else's journey and passion for the hobby. I'm looking forward to part 2 to see those epic additions you teased at the end! Great work on the video - please keep them coming in the future too. Thanks for sharing a look inside your great baseball card collection.
