[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Ed! I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed!

[@thedrewavintagelegacy6455]

Beautiful pickups. I have the 51 Berk Ross of DiMaggio. I remember how excited I was when I finally found one in my budget. Great stuff as always Darren.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Drew! Glad you enjoyed! That's awesome that you have the 51 BR! Its such a great card!

Got to get 'em when you find 'em!! 🤣🤯 Awesome Darren! Happy for you my friend

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! Thanks Warren! I agree!

[@signsofthepastime]

Congrats and I love seeing what you have checked off the list, Darren. Pretty cool that you got the ‘53 Jackie from Don, makes it extra special. The 50 Bowman Jackie is spectacular. You’re well on your way!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Hugo! I was super happy to pick up those cards! It was a bigger month than I planned, but worth it!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@MarksDodgersCards]

That 1950 Bowman Jackie is terrific. Wowzers!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mark! Glad you liked it!

[@MidLifeCards]

The smile and giggle I did throughout this video was epic.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Graig! It was a good month for the collection, for sure. Glad you enjoyed!

[@boobooboogoo]

Well remember it’s only shits and giggles until you giggle and shit my friend

[@mookiechillson]

Overachiever!!! Well done - the Dimaggios were great, and I love those Jackie’s too. The 53 is a killer!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mookie! Glad you liked the pickups!

[@rayfromphilly6969]

Thanks Ray! I appreciate that! Talk soon!

[@thedetroitcollector]

Killing it this year, looking forward to seeing you compete the list.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Eric! I'm excited to see where the collection goes over the rest of the year.

[@GigichadSnyder]

Helloooo it's Gigi your vids are cool my friends and I watch them

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Gigi! Glad you enjoy!!

[@jpcards]

Awesome stuff, Darren. Congrats on the amazing pickups. Can't wait to see those '34 Goudey Gehrigs!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John! I appreciate that! I'm looking forward to picking up the 34 Gehrig's as well!!

[@OlSargeCollects]

well those were all great pickups. I wish I had your discipline! Have fun picking up those Gehrigs!!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Dan! I'm looking forward to picking them up!!

[@TankeeFan]

Nice pickups. Love the runs around DiMaggio, Gehrig, and Robinson. 3 baseball and NY icons.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks! I was really happy to pick those up!

[@vintagesanctuary]

Darren, it's hard to go wrong with such a solid plan! What an epic list of cards! Out of your more recent pickups, the '51 Berk Ross DiMaggio might just be my favorite, but they are all truly glorious! Congrats on being way ahead of schedule! 🤯🤯🤯🤯Take care, my collecting brother! 😊👊

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! I really appreciate the kind words! I agree the 51 Berk Ross is a great card. Like our 38 Goudey Joe D's, that one has really grown on me. Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

[@mikesbaseballcards]

Wow! Quite impressive pick ups. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed!

[@adamscardcloset9020]

Grats on the pickups and progression on your goals

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Adam! I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed!

[@MidLifeCards]

“Now I’m ahead. June pickup, theoretically…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@returntocollecting]

Thought you'd appreciate that!

[@scootscollectibles]

Love the Joe D cards. A playing day Joe D is on my grail list. Great stuff.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed! You have to pick up a Joe D playing days card!!

[@CraigsCards62]

Great cards & i like the calendar manipulation... August pickup ...😅lol ( i understand 👍) looking forward to what the National will be like.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Craig! Glad you liked my calendar skills... Looking froward to the National as well!

[@hammerforty-four]

I'm on a similar collecting plan. I've picked up 7 of 10 and will get the remaining three at the National. But always on the lookout. You've added some epic cards. Some epic ones still left to hunt. Good luck.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Hammer! Good luck on your remaining pickups! The National should be awesome!!

[@peterb4871]

Nice pickups

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Peter!

[@mikethesportshistorycollec1947]

Wow, potentially completing a list of that caliber, early, is off the charts awesome.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Mike! I appreciate that!

[@HighPopProfessor]

Great showcase of incredible pickups! I just did a video with Iconic Al about “hobby focus” and I think making a game plan is a great way to keep oneself on track. But the discipline required in sticking to the plan… that’s where I am sometimes weak too 😂. That’s a great topic for a future discussion!

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks! I agree, sticking to the plan is the hardest part! I appreciate you watching! BTW, Iconic Al is great! He's my Denver card show buddy.

[@HighPopProfessor]

@@returntocollecting Yeah, Iconic Al is a really great guy! I’m lucky to have him as a brother! He has mentioned to me that you guys attend the Denver shows together, which is awesome!

[@RL3sports]

Great stuff. Ya overachiever

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! Thanks Robert!

[@3D80sKid]

Congrats on the amazing pickups! If I was going to make a wager on it I think odds are you finish this list by the end of the National. 🤣

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks John! I appreciate it! I'm hoping your oddsmaking skills are top notch!! Would be great to close out the list at the national!

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

Plan? There IS NO PLAN 🤪😅😂

[@returntocollecting]

Exactly! Thanks Jake!

[@4softcorners728]

It’s like you’re a NFL team trading all your future picks! You’ll be on 2027 pickups by the end of the year. Haha Amazing cards!

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! Thanks Joe! Glad you enjoyed!

[@junkfoodjohnny]

Those DiMaggio’s the first ever parallels? Is the 53 the Cracked Ice Super Sparkle Semifractor? When are you gonna sell something to buy the rest of those cards?

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! That assumes selling something would get me paid...

[@the_card_closet]

Good grief, Darren, these are some serious additions every month. What's your occupation?

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Eric! I appreciate it! I'm in sales...

[@the_card_closet]

@@returntocollecting I love seeing more and more of your collection. It's amazing.

[@warrendinCLE]

You know it'll be done at the National! 🤣😉

[@returntocollecting]

Ha! That would be fantastic!

[@ACD1994]

Hey Darren. I sent an e-mail to your GMail account. Not sure if you got it. Or might have went to your spam folder. Just a heads up. Hope you like some of the ideas. Would be interesting to see if you choose some of them after your countdown of greatest players or something. Have a great week. Talk to you soon.

[@returntocollecting]

Thanks Andrew! I got it! Did you not get my response? All great topics! I'll speak to them in some upcoming videos! Appreciate it!

[@ACD1994]

@@returntocollecting It went to my SPAM folder. Lol.
