Hey man, I gotta tell you, I really love the way you collect. I love the kind of cards you get. It's great to see wrinkles and wear, and soft corners - cards that were really loved and have a history behind them. I'm a Henrich as well as a Keller collector and have those two exhibit cards. I love Henrich's '48 Bowman. Those other exhibit cards you showed are great too. Love that Stirnweiss. And those wrinkles, just where they are...these are real cards. They have a lot of soul. Those '62 green tints are cool. When I was a kid, I had a lot of the '62's (this would be when I first started collecting in the early '70's) and I had a lot of green tints. My take on them was, "oh well I guess some of them look like this", no big deal. Next. Never realized they'd become a thing. The Phillies cards look particularly good in that set. I think it has to do with the red caps juxtaposed against the wood grain border. The West Covington card is nice. I'm going to have to see if I can find a KZbin clip of him at the plate to see what you are talking about regarding his batting style. He's got some nice Topps cards, in general. And nice '52 Berra. That's great that you'll have 1- 200 complete. I've got a nice chunk of '52's, but still have a long way to go, lol.

Nice 👍 🎉

Rick, you blew me away with your stunning 1952 Topps Yogi Berra! 🤯🤯🤯 Actually nicely centered with no diamond slanting for a '52 Topps Yogi! We are clubbies on that one! Under-rated card, IMHO! Thanks for showing us the cameo of yourself at the end! 😂👊 Take care, my collecting brother! 😊👊

Howdy Rick. Are you wearing a Philadelphia A's cap? Pretty neat. // Nice Irish flag cards. // I also like the Exhibit cards. Scott would be proud of you. 🙂// You are making good progress on your 1962 "Master Set" with the green tint cards. I like that 1962 Wes Covington card where he is holding 2 bats. // That is a real sharp 1952 Berra card too. // Thanks for the display Rick.

[@Rocketrickj18]

Yes, it is an A’s hat! Thanks George for commenting and for your kind words. I wish you were going to be there too!

[@brad8671]

Congrats on landing a Yogi!!!

[@Rocketrickj18]

Thanks Brad! I appreciate your thoughts!

Request: Show us around your collections, the books, binders, etc. I'm very curious about the books. Thanks!! Also: Is a video on Who's Who from the 1920s possible?

[@Rocketrickj18]

I’m sorry to say the Who’s Who series from the 1920’s is beyond what I am willing to pay. I had a chance to buy 6 or 7 of them, but the price was as much or more than the cost of the ones I did buy. I have thought of doing something on books from my collection. I am currently planning a video showcasing my 1955 Topps Set. We’ll have to see where we go from there!
