The Fairfield Card Show Was Incredible!! Tons Of Vintage And Pre War Cards!!

Another awesome card show last weekend, and this time I was able to attend with my Dad and my brother. We had a blast going through 300 plus tables in a show that had more pre war and turn of the century vintage cards than I have seen in a really long time. Whether you're a baseball card collector, or you prefer to collect one of the other sports, there was something for everyone. My vlog of the show shares the contact information of the dealers that are featured, so you can reach out to them if they have any cards that you're interested in. We had a great time at this sports card show, and I hope you enjoy the video.

I love seeing your shows. I wonder which is harder. So much vintage, you have to try not to buy. So little vintage, you have to dig to find anything worth buying. You're so lucky to have shows like that.

[@MidLifeCards]

Shows like this require a lot of restraint.

[@joet371]

I love how this is a family affair with both your brother and father. Also, thank you for actually grabbing cards and showing them to us and yes this show had PLENTY of cards, TY

[@MidLifeCards]

It was a great show and a great time!!

[@stevegallo8483]

Looks like another great show. It must be nice to have a brother who is into cards. Mine isn't and never was.

[@MidLifeCards]

It was his first show in years, and we had a blast.

[@DansVintageBaseballPC]

Man, that Red Heart Mantle is a stunner. It kind of made me yelp when you showed it.

[@ACD1994]

Looked like a stunning card indeed. I would be concerned buying that kind of card. Knowing or not knowing, if I can really trust the graders opinion which it is just PSA or SGC opinion. But that's just me though. The technology continues to be so sophisticated that even scammers can fool the ''professionals'' over at PSA.

[@MidLifeCards]

It was flawless.

[@SouvenirProgramsHere]

Aloha Graig ! Thanks for taking me along with your Dad & Brother. C ya

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks for coming

[@CARDSLAB-88]

WOW Graig great show if i was at the Justin dealer table my whole budget would've blown right there down to my last dollar, great video content thanks NY LOU

[@MidLifeCards]

Check out his website. Everything at the table is on his site.

[@stevezeppieri]

This was great. Beautiful picture of you your brother and your father. And like you said, there’s cards we never get to see unless it’s on KZbin… Well, thanks for showing us some cards we’ll never get to see. Some real beauties. I’m glad you had an awesome time

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks Steve!! Appreciate you!!

[@GoldenSlumber474]

Great show video and commentary as usual Graig. I love that T206 dealer’s selection of graded cards so much I might check out his website for a Moose Grimshaw 👍

[@MidLifeCards]

Justin is a really good guy. I'm sure he's negotiable on prices, and let him know that we're buds. :-)

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Graig, Congratulations on your going to Fairfield with your father and your brother! Thanks for the great video of the show. I saw so much vintage that I had never seen before and I love that! Have a great evening and take care, Peter

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks Peter. We had a great time. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@gametimegallery7661]

Thanks for sharing. Fairfield was a great show. Picked up a Lew Alcindor rookie raw for a great price. Hoping to get a 3 or 4 grade on it. Best show in the Bay Area.

[@MidLifeCards]

Awesome. I hope it gets a 5!!

[@jamesbailey4686]

awesome thanks for sharing, need that 66 aaron one vendor had for my playing days run…

[@MidLifeCards]

So many great cards at that show. Thanks for watching.

[@ACollectorsDream]

Awesome cards, great show footage. Congrats on the pickups. Thanks for sharing.

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks Orlando. Appreciate it.

[@The_Cincinnati_Kid]

Another awesome card show vid! Thanks for doing these!

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@returntocollecting]

Great video Graig! I just bought a Mays from Justin (T206 cards), funny! Awesome pickups! The Red Heart Mantle is 🔥! Love your dad's haul, all sweet cards! Congrats to him! Glad you guys had a blast!

[@MidLifeCards]

What Mays did you buy from him? Super nice guy.

[@returntocollecting]

@@MidLifeCards I picked up the 64 Mays for my giveaway from him.

[@SammyThunder]

You do such a great job at narrating your card shows. I feel like I should probably start doing the same. I'm envious that there are dealers who have boxes like that where a 59 Mays is just casually there lol. Truly remarkable!

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks Sammy. Really appreciate the kind words. I'm hoping we can connect for a collaboration at some point soon. It's been too long since we've gotten to hang out!!

[@GoldenSlumber474]

Yes Sammy, Graig’s show videos are top notch

[@ACD1994]

Looking forward to the Sammy-Graig livestream. I've enjoyed the 4Collectors, with the rookie card rankings. I'm all caught up.

[@mikethesportshistorycollec1947]

Just sitting here in SoCal with the rain pouring down...but at least I got to go to a great card show through your eyes. Thanks for perking up my day.

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks so much. That means a lot. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ACD1994]

@20:10 Gorgeous Al Kaline Post Cereal card. So cool, that you went to be, able to experience such a fun show, with your Dad and brother. I know you mentioned a few times before, that he doesn't collect much, but I hope he enjoyed the show as well and maybe its something you'll both be able to do together (if he wants to). Great video Graig.

[@MidLifeCards]

Thanks!! He had a great time. We all did.

[@3WordsCollector]

That red heart mantle, holy smokes! That’s bluejacket66 quality

[@MidLifeCards]

Totally agree. It was gorgeous.

[@jude999]

Bring it. Griffey card harkens back to 1982 Donruss.

[@MidLifeCards]

Hard to pass up cool looking Griffey cards at that price.

[@kewl.card.collector2318]

Great show, I was there Sunday, that T206 table was incredible.

[@MidLifeCards]

Yes it was!

[@davelachey8118]

Graig, You should have picked up that ‘54 Mantle Red Heart. Don’t know that I’ll ever own a ‘51 or ‘52, maybe a ‘52 Bowman, but that Red Heart is on my chase list-much lower grade of course😊

[@MidLifeCards]

It looked perfect. If I had 20k, I would’ve.

[@topps85401]

I was there on Saturday, it was a fantastic show! I was checking out that table with the boxing cards as well.

[@MidLifeCards]

Ed is a great guy. He's got some cool boxing stuff, for sure.

[@360stockflips]

I'm not big on mantles but what a stunner.

[@MidLifeCards]

Yeah. That was a BEAUTIFUL Red Heart.

[@BigHarv]

It was a great show and sadly only got to spend a couple hours on Friday, traveling home.

[@MidLifeCards]

Better than nothing, right!?

[@BigHarv]

@@MidLifeCards an hour at a card show is better than I can ask for most days.

[@blueodum]

Surprised you didn't pull the trigger on the Mantle Red Heart😁

[@MidLifeCards]

If I had the money, I would've. It was STUNNING!!

[@kylenevill2380]

How can i get a custom t206 card of myself? Want it for a business card! Great video! Youve got me into vintage now!

[@MidLifeCards]

I made mine in a photo editing program and then had them printed on Business Cards. I know there are some websites out there that do these, though.

[@PhilBeckman-rn6sx]

Have you ever found the great Frank Robinson rookie in decent shape? Nice video for the hobby. Those mays cards are beautiful

[@MidLifeCards]

It's a VERY hard card to find in high condition, but they're out there.

[@PhilBeckman-rn6sx]

@@MidLifeCards He was one of the greatest. Highest I've ever seen was a 6.5 and it was not cheap.

[@jmikefitness]

The S Dunstan meter kept track of how hard he threw to first.

[@MidLifeCards]

www.greenparrot.com/shawon-o-meter-2/ It kept track of his batting average.

[@jmikefitness]

You are indeed correct ✅ I remember now… I recall games where they would clock how hard he threw over to grace.

[@oarancards4443]

Like when your dad goes ,,spend lots of money

[@ACD1994]

Yeah it was a great haul. Some nice variety of different sports. I like the Aaron '69 and 2nd year Kareem

[@MidLifeCards]

Yeah....I've still got kids on the payroll. He doesn't. LOL.

[@cryptonite8495]

Wait, why did Captain Hook go back in the box?? Did you already have that pirate card?

[@MidLifeCards]

I know. I should've bought it.
