[@vintageoddballcards6103]

Fantastic Darren! Really well done! I can’t disagree with the cards you picked. A must watch for collectors

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Rick! Glad you enjoyed! I really appreciate all of the knowledge that you share with the community. I've learned so much from watching your videos. It means a lot, my friend!

[@jmikefitness]

This was one of the best card videos ever done.

[@returntocollecting]

I really appreciate that Mike! Truly do. Glad you enjoyed!

[@vintagesanctuary]

Darren, what an epic production, thank you! I have 9 of your Top 101! I just have one more to go to get to double-digits! 😊

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! Glad you enjoyed! 9 all time epic cards, is awesome! Maybe get the 10th at the National! Appreciate you watching, my friend!

[@greatbaseballcards6055]

You have the '33 Sport Kings Ruth included! It seems to be often overlooked. Glad you featured it as one of the great vintage cards!

[@returntocollecting]

Oh yeah! That's an epic card! I had to include it! Saw one at a card show I went to today... wish I had the budget. Glad you enjoyed!

[@tonyleebrick9050]

I absolutely loved this video! You obviously took a good deal of time putting this together and it is appreciated. Like you, I returned to collecting in the past year and have been able to acquire quite a few of the cards listed by you in this video. I wouldn’t have known about a lot of them without people like Bluejacket66 educating me on the rarer vintage cards that I have come to love. You are doing the hobby a great service. Thank you!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Tony! I really appreciate the kind words! I was a labor of love, but glad it turned out the way it did. Honestly, I learned a ton about these when I researched the cards in more detail. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed !

[@ken-pr2df]

Lots of time and effort put into this project!! Appreciate this labor of love to show these awesome vintage cards!! Enjoy your channel!! Keep up the great content!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thank you Ken! I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed!

[@AngryOldManTTM]

Such a super video Darren. 101 Amazing cards of fantastic players. I agree with you on all the choices. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Ed! This was my favorite video to make. I learned a ton when I dove deeper into a lot of those sets. Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

[@stuke1976]

Fantastic list of cards. Appreciate the time you put into this.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate the kind words, my friend!

[@mi777ke777]

Great vid. Lots of history. These are what I look for today as they are artifacts from the past.

[@returntocollecting]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@ClementeCollector]

Wow this was alot of work and information! Amazing job, I definitely learned a lot! Great job putting the Clemente 3D in, thats a must! Biggest push back is, you had too many Mantle cards in there, I think it was your bias, lol. I think we needed another Mays card, there's one on Best of the Best today, I think would fit in great. Hank Aaron, one more card also would of been nice, maybe the Home Run Derby or Johnsons cookies. But enough feedback, great job!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Theo! I appreciate that! Its funny that you mentioned the Mantle's. My dad and best friend both called me and said the same thing. Glad you enjoyed bud!

[@daranjensen6948]

Wow! Thanks for the history and your hard work!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Daran! Glad you enjoyed!

[@thedetroitcollector]

Great list Darren! Wonderful information included on each card.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Eric! Glad you enjoyed!

[@iconic_baseball]

Awesome job Darren - This was a great run through the most important vintage cards in the habby! 👏

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Al! Glad you enjoyed!

[@signsofthepastime]

I learned so much from this video, Darren. Thanks for putting it together, I appreciate the effort and research you put into it.

[@returntocollecting]

That's awesome Hugo! Glad you learned some new stuff! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@robstarsports]

Fantastic video, a trip through history, great work.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Rob! Glad you enjoyed!

[@peterb4871]

Darren, fantastic video. You can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it. You selected great cards. Thanks for the amount of pre war cards as most vintage collectors overlook these. Sorry, I do have to call you out. No T205’s, my favorite set. Maybe Cobb showing the American design and Mathewson showing the National design. These were first cards with statistics. Also no T202’s, my 2nd favorite set. The Cobb card with the famous Conlon photo of Cobb sliding would have been a great choice. Finally just nit picking, should have shown the King Kelly Goodwin instead of the Allen & Ginter. In my opinion the Goodwin King Kelley is the most beautiful card ever made. Once again, great job, I enjoyed watching this.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Peter! Glad you enjoyed! The T205 Matty was one of the last cards that I ended up cutting. Funny enough, its on my next list of cards to buy. Good call on the Kelly Goodwin!

[@greatbaseballcards6055]

Nice post! Many never-seen-before cards! I thought I had seen them all. Nope!

[@returntocollecting]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to show some cards that are somewhat obscure, but still important to the hobby. I really appreciate you watching!

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Epic choices, Darren! You definitely chose some amazing cards. Great video!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Billy! Glad you enjoyed!

[@user-ws9ku5bs4f]

Thanks for sharing ! This was awesome and a fantastic list of cards !

[@returntocollecting]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@warrendinCLE]

Never knew that Just So Cy Young existed 🤯the 48/49 leaf Ted is my my all time favorite card of his! The Wilson franks Williams is just an amazing looking card. I think you did an amazing job here my friend! I appreciate your efforts and all of the background info on the cards. I got an education on early cards as well! Thank you!

[@returntocollecting]

That's awesome Warren! Glad you enjoyed it! I learned a ton as well. I knew I liked the cards, but getting into the sets history was super interesting! Thanks for watching, my friend!

[@warrendinCLE]

@@returntocollecting I truly enjoyed it!

[@johngrosshans3017]

Great list of top 101! I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John! Glad you learned a few new things! I appreciate it!

[@douglasfranz5529]

This was a great video…so many on the wish list! One thing of note, the Del Pratt Cracker Jack card, like the Christy Mathewson, is an action pose in 1914 set and a portrait pose in 1915 set.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Douglas! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the heads up on the Pratt. Always great to learn something new, its what I love about the hobby!

[@Hodges1455]

25th video like - Great video, Darren! Tons of great cards!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed!

[@MidLifeCards]

Great video Darren. So much great information and amazing cards.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Graig! Glad you enjoyed!

[@51ringside3]

Great list Darren, appreciate all the research you did here, learned a lot here

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jason! I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed and learned a few new things as well!

[@justinhoyle841]

Awesome video! I do mostly vintage football so this was a lot of new information for me. Like you, I am a huge history buff so learning the history of some of these pre-war (and, as it turns out, pre-Civil War) cards was fascinating! Great stuff!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Justin! Glad you enjoyed! I originally intended this to be a list video, but when I was done, I was happy that it was more of a history video. Thanks for checking it out!

[@adamscardcloset9020]

Great list / job . All list worthy

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! Glad you enjoyed!

[@845SportsCards]

Great list but think I would definitely include the T205 Gold Border Christy Mathewson.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Sam! Its funny that you mention the T205 Matty! I cut that one on the very last round of cuts. I love that card! Its on my next list to pick up. Glad you enjoyed!

[@TankeeFan]

Great video!! Very glad you included many pioneering cards and sets from the 1800s. They are the cornerstones of the hobby and don’t get the visibility they deserve! Every serious baseball card collector should put this video on their bucket list. Thanks

[@returntocollecting]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@Stompkin]

This was a pretty cool list, but I can't understand how you left off the most iconic card of all, the one that truly defines the hobby itself - the 2018 Topps Chrome Negative Refractor Shohei Ohtani. Will look for it in part 2 of the series.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Jeff! If I do a list of greatest modern cards, I'll lead off with that one!

[@W238thStreet]

Great video R2C! Took about 40 to go by before i had one. Only thing i would have changed would be to include one less Red Sox Babe to include his 1920 Yankees (W-516) - also labeled as a "Pitcher" so very cool. You introduced me to a couple new ones to add to my "will never have but love them" card list.

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! I have a similar list of unattainables. Gotta respect the BoSox Babe cards. Historic!

[@larrygitlin6017]

I own or have owned 13 of your list, only 88 more to go. Nice picks for your list and nice research as some of the cards I have never seen. I have a lot of second tier cards including a t206 portrait Lajoie I just p;icked up at Chantilly. Second tier is nice too.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Larry! Glad you enjoyed! Congrats on the T206 Lajoie portrait. Great pickup!

[@videoguy316]

This is great information & why this hobby is so much fun. Admittedly, I know nothing about pre-war so I really enjoyed soaking in that info. It was all great though. Lots of work & certainly appreciated Darren.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Doug! Glad you learned some stuff! I learned quite a bit researching the history of some of these.

[@thelicoricefarm]

Thank you for this contribution, Darren.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks David! I hope people can learn from it. I know that I learned a ton while researching it. Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

[@Collector.Not.Hoarder]

Fantastic selection, Darren - learned a lot! I had no idea about the Cy Young rookie. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed. Also glad you learned something new! I appreciate it!

[@theathletearchives]

Fantastic video!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Gordon! Glad you enjoyed!

[@willg.2045]

Hard to argue with any of those choices, Darren. Thanks for doing this!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Will! Glad you enjoyed !

[@ACollectorsDream]

Awesome video Darren, so glad you did this video. Many collectors are not aware of these older sets and players. I would have added the Mayo Cut Plug cards, a set of 40 baseball players with beautiful pictures.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Orlando! Glad you enjoyed! Good call on Mayo Cut set. Perhaps the Dan Brouthers or Hugh Duffy would have been a good addition (since I had Anson already). I really appreciate you watching, my friend!

[@MrJmangini]

Makes me feel good when I can help out. Thanks for the mention.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John. I'm always learning from watching your videos! Thank you!!

[@blaneevans803]
