Sports Card Mail Day! Rare Junk Wax,

[@ReindeerStudios]

Thanks for the shout out, Mike. Much appreciated. Glad you got one of my Yaz cards -- they ended up selling out pretty quick.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@ReindeerStudios amazing work!!

[@tonybailey1637]

Nice Bob Stanley auto! He threw his "palm ball".

[@JayAverageVintageCollector]

Cool pickups! Thanks for sharing!

[@mookiechillson]

The Yaz card from Mr. Reindeer is a beauty! Also, Congrats on your Yaz run progress, and we Mets fans hold a special place in our hearts for The Stanley Steamer!

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@mookiechillson pride of Portland, Maine!

[@johns.8246]

George Brett also had a Diamond Kings card from the learning series.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@johns.8246 yes!

[@chrisstarr4523]

$40 for that Sandburg is a steal, I’ll gladly double that for you.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@chrisstarr4523 thanks but I’ll pass!

[@basementcardcollector]

Love the Reindeer Studios!! Thatv Sandberg is super cool! The Suoer Nintendo was sweet!! My fav game was Ken Griffey Baseball!!! I took the PlayStation and a Sega to college!! NCAA 98 amd Tecmo Super Bowl!!!

[@JunkWaxHero]

I never played Ken Griffey baseball!

[@basementcardcollector]

@@JunkWaxHero Oh my word you should get a copy sometime! I feel like it was the first baseball game to add ‘unique’ stances for the hitters. It also did NOT have the players names, it came with random names but had the correct stats and team, etc. it had a spot to ‘enter the names and save, So my buddies and I would stay up all night playing our season ANd entering names. We would go through 1994 baseball cards I think?!?? Because it had the 1993 stats on the game, if we needed help guessing the player on the game. It was SO awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cards, trivia, video game , your friends, staying up late!!!!!!😁💭🇺🇸⚾️ the good ol days!!!!!!

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@basementcardcollector that sounds like so much fun for kids!

[@basementcardcollector]

@@JunkWaxHero Ummmm yeah fun for kids😂😂😂

[@mikeolsonart]

Bob Stanley has a lovely looking signature! Very cool!

[@JunkWaxHero]

He does!

[@mikeolsonart]

@@JunkWaxHero Always appreciate a good flowing signature!

[@mackeymintle66]

I just saw that Paul Rudd commercial the other dsy!😂. I just found a super rare Nintendo Item! Rarer than the R.O.B. 🎉. Video soon.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@mackeymintle66 that’s crazy! The ROB is so wild

[@todd_rich23]

Very cool Stanley card, I like that someone else is doing a Maine collection, we don’t have a ton to choose from 🙂

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@todd_rich23 I should do a video of it

[@ACollectorsDream]

Skaght is an awesome artist, nice Yaz. Great stuff Mike.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@ACollectorsDream he is!

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

The Sandberg is my favorite. Great price.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Good choice!

[@gundy98]

I also played the Super Nintendo from 1991-1997 and then bought a Nintendo 64 when I went to college in 1998.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Yeah I bought the 64 at some point but I’m pretty sure I had a PlayStation in there too.

[@WaxPackWisdom]

Thanks for sharing, the custom Yaz card rocks.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Thanks Jake!

[@jakestoe]

Ryne Sandberg's hometown is where I live. Spokane, WA. Along with John Stockton and Mark Rypien. All the same era but different high schools within a 3 mile radius.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@jakestoe cool!

[@collegehoopsguy]

That art card is really cool Mike, the Morris and Smith was from me 🤣I know you're a huge Morris guy haha and I wanted to give you someone with a Sox connection and then you got one in the VT collection

[@JunkWaxHero]

Now I remember!! Thank you again so much, Jason!

[@jimfalkler9361]

Hi Mike. Two favorites today. The 65 Topps Ya and the Ya card from Reindeer studios. Wasn't Bob Stanley on the mound for the famous muff when Bill Buckner misplayed the ball.

[@JunkWaxHero]

He sure was, but he got the grounder they needed

[@jpacrylicstudio145]

The Yaz does look really nice! Congratulations!

[@JunkWaxHero]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jlopez1669]

The nostalgia of 1990 Donruss and WGN Chicago playing all those Cubs games as a kid, definitely the Sandberg! Happy Friday and enjoy the vacation amigo.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@jlopez1669 thank you!

[@signsofthepastime]

I love the Yaz by Skaght! Glad I scooped one up myself. Bigfoot Bob Stanley auto is sweet. Still the only Maine native to make an all star team. Good stuff, Mike

[@JunkWaxHero]

Good trivia!

[@markhoyle2275]

I need to grab one of those Yaz set cards. Nice Steamer Auto

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@markhoyle2275 thanks Mark!

[@danielbernier6095]

Hi Mike. Glad to here you are only the 69 Topps away from the registry run for Yaz cards. By the way, I commissioned Skaght to do the Yaz marker doodle. I thought they would sell out fast.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@danielbernier6095 awesome, Dan! So happy you did that. And it’s good hearing from you!

[@DansVintageBaseballPC]

Love the shoutout to Skaght!

[@warrendinCLE]

Love the Learning Series Set! I did a video on the set a while back. Really great condition ones bring a premium for sure

[@JunkWaxHero]

Nice!

[@mi777ke777]

Nice cards. I'm guessing you got the greatest game ever for SNES Star Fox! If not its cool lol

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@mi777ke777 it’s so crazy that you guessed this, because 30 minutes ago I was pricing this game on eBay! Definitely on my short SNES want list.

[@pepinoman9271]

Sweet Yaz and pick-ups

[@jwwj30]

Howdy Mike, love that card from Reindeer Studios, so I went and found his channel on KZbin. But I can’t seem to find out how to buy a few of his cards. I’d be interested in any Padres baseball cards he might have. Thanks Mike for any & all help.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@jwwj30 search for him on Etsy! That’s where I bought it, but that one sold out. He has other stuff though.

[@jwwj30]

@@JunkWaxHero Great, thanks for the tip Mike & I’ll see what’s left.

[@ASMRPeople]

Hmm, a snes game for a Celtics fan it has to be Bill Laimbeers combat basketball. 😂😂😂 Actually my guess is NBA Jam.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@ASMRPeople lol you’ll not be shocked to learn that I hated Laimbeer. And I’m impressed that you’re guessing basketball games! NBA Jam wasn’t one I liked, and only played it a bit in the arcade. You’re on the right track though!

[@joeschmoe2011]

Were there any players on Super Nintendo that were just pretty average in real life but amazing on the game? I remember with RBI 3 for NES. The '84 Cubs were nearly unbeatable. Even the Tengen team had a hard time against them. Who was one of the Cubs' best bombers? Thad Bosley. And he was one of the true power hitters of the entire RBI 3 game. I always went with the 87 Giants, though. But I wonder how many guys like Thad Bosley need a place in the autograph collection? Are there other players who were way better in the game than real life? It would make an interesting collection of auto's.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@joeschmoe2011 fun question!

[@joeschmoe2011]

I'll add that Bosley started a funk band after he retired from baseball.

[@warrendinCLE]

As much as I would love to jump down this rabbit hole!!!. I just cart now. I'm bummed. But it's a goal to shoot for!😊😊

[@JunkWaxHero]

Which one?

[@warrendinCLE]

I meant any of the graded games. Sorry my friend !

[@warrendinCLE]

I want a Zelda MIB for sure

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@warrendinCLE yeah I’m not grading any of mine at this point. Not sure I ever will. But Zelda is very high on my want list!

[@warrendinCLE]

@@JunkWaxHero I got you Mike!' my apologies. Been aloonngg day

[@reubensnyder4656]

You got the Sandberg from me..and it was $25 not 40

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@reubensnyder4656 thanks for the reminder, Reuben!! And for the deal!

[@reubensnyder4656]

@JunkWaxHero no problem. I knew you needed it and that you would enjoy it.

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

Super Nintendo Games?!? MY MAN!

[@JunkWaxHero]

I have a handful of NES too. Building a modest collection of my childhood favorites.

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

I have a sneaky video game collection- but I buy them to play them 🤪😅

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@LegendsNeverDieCollection that’s cool! I haven’t been into video games for a long time. I do want a couple of arcade cabinets in my eventual hobby room / office.

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

I dont get many chances to play them 😅 I’m also sort of building the collection for my sons. Luka turns 3 tomorrow, and my second son will be born in November. My hope is when they are old enough they have an interest in video games, and hopefully the hobby too. If they do, they are going to have one HECK of a start 😅

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@LegendsNeverDieCollection happy birthday to Luka! And congrats on the imminent family expansion!

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

While I should have been out there chasing skirt at my young age, my friends and I had a serious Tecmo Bowl addiction. We once played 50 straight hours. My early childhood was Intellivision and think about collecting unopened games, have decided that I need to focus my collectiom wants to nothing new.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide still sealed is crazy… so expensive. I would honestly be happy with just the boxes to display!

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

@@JunkWaxHero Nobody seems to care about sealed Intellivision games. Many of the sports games could be had for $20. Nintendo is another story, especially graded but those prices have truly dropped over the last few years.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide sealed first Zelda just sold for $375k

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

@@JunkWaxHero Prices have come down from highs...Jul 9, 2021 - A sealed copy of The Legend of Zelda for the NES just sold for $870,000 at Heritage Auctions.

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

@@JunkWaxHero In 2021, Heritage sold one for $870,000.

[@brifodes]

I think that Sandberg card is a reprint. When PSA labels it “trading card” it’s not an original card. The autograph is authentic but not the card. As you see it doesn’t denote Donruss at all.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@brifodes sorry, not true. When they label it Trading Card, it means the submitter didn’t pay to have the card authenticated too. There are millions of them out there because it’s $10 cheaper to do it this way. I hate it and it’s dumb, but the card is legit. No one would reprint this card.

[@brifodes]

@@JunkWaxHero that’s great then!

[@TheCardDeal]

How dare you say Bob is not PSA worthy!

[@JunkWaxHero]

lol I know

[@tomkelley1100]

I sent some pics of the collection I look forward to some feedback if you want too

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@tomkelley1100 where did you send them?

What was your favorite card?

[@ACD1994]

How thoughtful that one of your viewers bought for you, Jack Morris. Rookie card. They know what you like 🥲

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@ACD1994 I’ve received so many as a gift 😂

[@joeschmoe2011]

I liked the Sandberg. It was always great watching the Cubs on WGN with Harry going off on some tangent. I always liked listening to Steve Stone as well. I'm not sure if he still has the record, but Sandberg retired as the all time fielding % leader for an NL 2nd baseman. Any guess as to whose record he broke without googling it? Hint: Was a Cardinal.

[@JunkWaxHero]

@@joeschmoe2011 that hint points me to Tom Herr, but Herr wasn’t that far ahead of Sandberg in terms of when he started in MLB, was he? Maybe he was. I was thinking older.

[@joeschmoe2011]

@@JunkWaxHero that's a good guess. Most people don't get that question. He came in around 1980 and was a part of Whitey Ball. Played in the 82 and 85 WS. I've got his Tiffany run.

[@henrys3629]

You forgot who Lee Smith and Jack Morris was? I keep forgetting to buy the Learning series and once they were dirt cheap. Paul Rudd only 5 years older than me.

[@JunkWaxHero]

I forgot who gave them to me
