Hi Mike. It was just awesome to finally meet you in person. You picked up some really sweet cards, That 49 Bowman is a beauty. So happy you survived the rink. This community is incredible and meeting everyone was the highlight of this weekend. Thank you for everything you do for this community and I really appreciate the time you took to get to know me. Thanks for everything Mike, talk soon pal.

Very impressive skating, I couldn’t believe it when you told me you skated. Awesome spending time with you ❤️

[@EverydayCardCollector-Jason]

Fantastic cards Mike! I had a blast meeting you and everyone else. Very impressive run on the ice skates. Congrats again on the Jackie.

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks Jason. Great meeting you as well.

[@NikkisCards]

Seeing Mike ice skating was worth watching the video. Glad you had a great show!!

[@ACollectorsDream]

Awesome seeing you and spending time together.

[@jimfalkler9361]

Hi Mike. Glad to hear that you had a great time. Thank you for bringing these video's to us.

[@BaseballCollector]

You bet Jim. And it was a great time.

[@stuke1976]

Awesome Mike on Ice! Looked like a natural. Great pickups.

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks 👍

[@4softcorners728]

Great pickups and footage. You fared way better on the ice than I would have. Lol

[@clevelandsportscards1986]

Mike, you are awesome! It was great meeting up with you all today! Safe travels back to Texas and keep in touch

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks Adam. Great meeting you guys as well

[@Peacemakercards]

Mike it was nice meeting you, thanks for the cards I bought, I love them. The Lombardi auto is really awesome. I was looking at that 53 Doby on Friday. I'm glad that I passed on it because it allow my to buy something I love even more.

[@BaseballCollector]

Lombardi auto?

[@Peacemakercards]

@@BaseballCollector It was one of the cards I bought from you that you delivered to me yesterday.

[@tgkoski306]

Hello Mike. Tom from Michigan here. Enjoyed meeting you at Strongsville as well as some of the other KZbinrs. Especially loved the skating part. By the way my Paige auto came back authentic by JSA, which of course I knew it was since I got it as a kid. Good to have it done though for the future. I really enjoyed the show. All the videos being posted are great. I have been going to shows since the early 80's and collecting since I was a kid in the 60's. I have met many in the hobby over the years and this show was one of my favorites. I used to travel extensively for my job and stayed at the Marriott across from Rangers stadium quite a few times and took in games. As for TCU, a gal in my sons wedding last summer is a professor at TCU. My brother and I played D1 college golf as did my nephew and some of this friends. One of my nephews friends played for TCU and led them to 2 Conf USA titles. (google Colby Beckstrom). Hope to see you and more of the collectors at future shows. -Tom

[@BaseballCollector]

Love it Tom. Great meeting you as well. And that is awesome that you got the authenticity letter from JSA on the Paige. Absolutely amazing piece!!

[@Hodges1455]

Gave a video like as always - It was really nice meeting you at the show, Mike! The show was a blast

[@BaseballCollector]

Great meeting you as well. It was lots of fun.

[@Philniekrofan35]

Mike it was great to meet you. And thanks for the autographed card of you

[@BaseballCollector]

You bet. Great meeting you as well

[@mackeymintle66]

Glad Dr. Dave was there to supervise. 😂😂😅 that was impressive. Your skiing was a big help!

[@BaseballCollector]

I am sure it was a factor.

[@RatedRookie]

Congrats on the Jackie, Hodges and not breaking your hip on the ice!

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks Josh

[@34jazzman]

The show was awesome. A major history lesson

[@WeskerGriff]

Well done on the pickups Mike and good job on the skates! Art of the Ice! ⛸

[@grindstone11]

Wow! Good job on the rink there Mike! Safe travels home, Dallas has had big rain all day today!

[@BaseballCollector]

I am aware. Got home about 4 hours later than I should have

[@Johndeplume.]

Some great pick-ups there, Mike. Thanks for sharing your new additions. Looked a little like Bambi on ice there at the start, but at least you didn't fall over. ⛸⛸👍

[@deangearhartyeahicollectit2439]

Great pick-ups, Mike. Good to see you again.

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks, you too!

[@JStottlemire1]

It was a pleasure to finally get to meet you fellas. Enjoy the remainder of your day. Congrats on the stunning Jackie.

[@BaseballCollector]

Great meeting you too Josh

[@robertogato]

Always enjoy your content and was hoping to make it to Strongsville...maybe will see you at Nationals. Interestingly I'm looking to pick up some of the cards i sold off to pay for my son to pursue his passion to play hockey. And his home rink the season he played for the Cleveland Barons was Strongsville. Impressed with the skating...I've done some scouting for hockey and there may be some raw, untapped talent there.

[@BaseballCollector]

That is awesome about your son. I question your scouting skills because there is definitely zero untapped talent with me. LOL

[@adamscardcloset9020]

Ice 🧊 skating 🎉. Love the Dodgers pickups . Especially the Jackie

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks Adam. It was a fun, albeit dangerous, experience.

[@kenscardboard]

Looks like you had a great time hanging out with Tubers and getting little skating in for fun. Glad you didn’t bruise your tailbone. Whoa whoa whoa 😮that is an amazing 49 Bowman Jackie. Congratulations on adding that to your collection.

[@doug_sports_collector]

Great pick-ups and great job not landing on your butt! Looks like a fun successful show for everyone.

[@BaseballCollector]

Definitely successful. Especially since I didn't eat it on the ice.

[@SconnieTradition]

Pretty impressive on the skates! I went my first time like 4 yrs ago. Its not as easy as it looks!

[@Canadian_Cards]

Mario Moynihan..well done on the blades, wish I was there, cheers brother!!

[@BaseballCollector]

We missed you Mike

[@greatnorthern706]

Not bad for your first skate Mike! Love the Jackie.

[@BaseballCollector]

It would have made for a better clip if I had eaten it

[@greatnorthern706]

@@BaseballCollector Ha! I was honestly expecting that to happen. One of the funniest things you’ll ever see is little kids learning to skate.

[@jpcards]

Great seeing you, and you did very well out there -- on both rinks! Congrats on the Robinson, what an awesome card.

[@Rocketrickj18]

Absolutely awesome!!! Mike, you are now officially allowed to collect Canadian Hockey Cards!

[@BaseballCollector]

You got that right!

[@billyballgamesportscards]

Mike looked like Bambi on the ice! He didn't biff it, though. Well done, Mike! Amazing pick-ups!

[@BaseballCollector]

Maybe a fat Bambi. Lol

[@billyballgamesportscards]

@@BaseballCollector I have no room to talk about bellies. Mine has gotten pretty dang impressive!

[@IamThePro78]

Very impressed by your skating

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks. It was fun.

[@reubensnyder4656]

Mike, it was so awesome meeting you finally and all the guys. I had as much fun hanging out and picking your brains as i did looking and buying cards. I hope to do the same at the National!

[@BaseballCollector]

Same here Reuben. Great hanging out with you as well

[@zachpierce641]

Mike out there risking his life for the sake of content

[@BaseballCollector]

Anything for the viewers

[@eddyscardboardchaos]

Ice skating? SGC? Man you are showing real growth. For real, very brave of you to get on the skates on your channel, I can't say I would have tried it. See you in Cleveland in July.

[@BaseballCollector]

Believe me...if it had gone really bad on the ice then it wouldn't have made it into the video.

[@the_card_closet]

Great job, mike. I probably fell 5 times my first time as a kid.

[@jimlcarter]

Great cards looks like a great show.

[@BaseballCollector]

It was!

[@thedetroitcollector]

Awesome pickups Mike. Great meeting you!

[@SportsMDCardCollector]

They should have definitely kept the ice on the card show side too. Woulda made all the deals and content more fun to watch.

[@ACD1994]

Show looks less crowded than yesterday; at least from your video. I like that it seems organized and ample space to walk the floor though.

[@BaseballCollector]

I would definitely say that it was less crowded today

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

Yeah that ‘49B Jackie ain’t too shabby Some player era autos too!

[@BaseballCollector]

Gotta mix in the little stuff with the bigger stuff Jake.

[@chrishayes4166]

50+ years and never skated on ice?? I guess life in texas is different from those us a bit further north haha. Looks like a great time all around

[@markhoyle2275]

Looks like you all had a great time

[@markhoyle2275]

Nice job on the skates. When you grow up in Boston everyone skates.

[@beansballcardblog]

Crazy that you decided to skate the first time so far from home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brad8671]

You did real good for the first time.

[@jakestoe]

I'm impressed by your ice skating skills. I'm around the same age and was saying to myself, "Don't do it Mike 😂 it's been at least 30 years since I've been on ice and my knees were hurting just watching you.. Will you be crossing over those SGC slabs to PSA?

[@BaseballCollector]

I have not decided but I am leaning towards keeping them as SGC

[@wbccollector4548]

Just started the HOF set registry to fill in time with getting my set card autographed and I feel like your part to blame lol

[@BaseballCollector]

Many collectors have blamed me for starting them down certain paths. I wear that with pride. LOL

[@dougsimpson7792]

Very grumpy guy in line behind you guys.

[@BaseballCollector]

Some people are grumpy. I can’t explain it

[@ChuckNorthSideGuy]

I love that shirt!!! Where did you get it Mike?

[@BaseballCollector]

It is a Reindeer Studios shirt. It’s awesome

[@breakingmania8927]

Mike! Where did you get that shirt!? I want one

[@BaseballCollector]

Scott from Reindeer Studios is making them. You can find them on his Etsy store.

[@richardbrusca1164]

Private signings?

[@redl1ght343]

Good job mike

[@BaseballCollector]

Thanks.

[@JasonMiles-hm4ec]

So if Mike died out there on the ice does that mean we get to split up his collection if so i want any Ty Cobb, Acuna, and Koufax

[@BaseballCollector]

Lol. Sorry to disappoint you Jason

[@Writer-lk8ms]

Does Steven not do videos? I'm an Orioles collector and based on his answer....he needs to make videos - I will be his first sub.

[@Canadian_Cards]

He does RipFan8 is his handle

[@fredrousselin3211]

Do you disclose your hobby as an OBA for your work?

[@BaseballCollector]

I do. That's an interesting question.

[@Writer-lk8ms]

What in the world is going on with that 1968 #1? It is not even a regular sized card - it doesn't fit the holder.

[@BaseballCollector]

PSA doesn’t always use the right interior holder when sealing the card. I have a bunch of cards like that unfortunately. It’s basically the insert for cards from the early 1950’s

[@TheCardDeal]

Just a suggestion....did Mike or anyone watch a KZbin "how to" video before this? ⚾️⛸️❄️ I was waiting for Mike to take off and skate like Gretzky and show you all how it's done. This confirms I should not be on the ice, well done for trying Mike. Congrats again on the big deal and that 49 Jackie, great card. Craig is great if you are looking for vintage from singles to set build in quantity, good people and good prices.
