Vintage Baseball Card Shop - Flea Markets, Antique Malls & Card Shops

[@ac8632]

This is really the essence of collecting. I found this much more interesting than all those National 'box break' videos.

[@MrHarco77]

I agree

[@colin24447]

Couldn’t agree more, I’m a 23 year old and I really don’t like how everyone my age is 100% into modern and no vintage. Vintage is by far my favorite thing about this hobby and nothing even comes close.

[@ac8632]

@@colin24447 I agree Colin. I was a dealer in my later teens and 20s, and most of the 'hyped' cards of the early 90s are basically trash today. I realize that the scarcity is there for modern "1 of ..." cards, but after you do this for a decade, people lose interest in much of these cards. There will just be too many out there to maintain the price levels. What will people return to? The classics.

[@colin24447]

@@ac8632 you nailed it. I’m not saying this is the second coming of the junk wax era, but it’s pretty damn close lol. And you’re right, the classics NEVER die.

[@SammyThunder]

Thank you AC! That's very kind of you. I enjoy the experiences of seeing what others are doing. Card shops, shows, tag sales, and flea markets. It's good to see what's out there.

[@JunkWaxHero]

That ‘57 Snider is so nice!

[@JunkWaxHero]

Oh I forgot to mention how cool that bike race was!

[@godisgreat8462]

Awesome my friend yeah boy

[@SammyThunder]

Yeah Boy!

[@elitehunters732]

That is a sharp looking Duke Snider, nice pickups 👍🏽

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks. I'm not much of a Duke Snider collector, but it's hard to pass up on a sharp 50s card.

[@pepinoman9271]

Amazing pick-ups and some great deals!

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Pepino! Came away feeling good about it all.

[@goodyg]

Great 59 cards that's one of my favorite sets. Can't go wrong doubling up on Giants cards. Thanks for sharing

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Goody.

[@machotsingcards5131]

Pretty cool pickups! Congrats.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks MC!

[@bennyroselysworld4773]

Like#37 liking the Moses Malone and Duke Snider. Fun footage thru the shops and bikes footage 👍👍❤️💜✝️💙💛

[@SammyThunder]

Thank you!

[@vintageonvintage817]

Always enjoy it when you share shops you have gone to and put them on a hit list if I am ever in the area. Love the Duke Snider card that is a super nice pickup

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks. They’re really cool spots to check out.

[@paultaylor3723]

Great video. Love to see the old cards!

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Paul. I’ll have more footage tomorrow. Flea Market tomorrow!

[@paultaylor3723]

@@SammyThunder I have been considering putting together the 1972 set. Glad to see there are options to pick up cards at reasonable prices.

[@JoeMapes]

The prices for unmarked team checklists were great deals.

[@SammyThunder]

I thought the same thing.

[@criteriumracer]

That bike riding is called Penny-Farthing. I know how to ride them, but I never raced it. Love the Braves team card for 5.great 59 pickups

[@SammyThunder]

That's really cool. It was a lot of fun to watch.

[@COGSportsCards]

Enjoyed the footage Sammy. Thanks for showing. Love that 59 Braves team card. Looks great. Nice 57 Duke too. Very nice.

[@SammyThunder]

I thought y'all might enjoy the Braves 59 card. I know how y'all feel about checklists.

[@carlfroelich3921]

Nice haul on all those vintage cards at a good price. Really enjoy these type of videos. Thanks

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Carl. This is what I will focus my videos on.

[@ReindeerStudios]

Your videos keep getting better and better, Sammy. Well done! See you next week, sir.

[@SammyThunder]

Thank you Skaht. Looking forward to meeting you.

[@peterb4871]

Nice pickups

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Peter!

[@djfrat3975]

Nice acquisition’s Sammy!

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks DJ

[@barryr8275]

Thanks for showing off the cards you bought. It's really nice to hear how you care about the cards. I also really enjoy the cards from the 1950's and 60's. I'm going to my first National next week and hope to say hi to you. I also subscribed to your channel. Have a good day. Barry

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Barry. I’ll be there Friday. Thank you for the sub!

[@JohnnysCards55]

How much was the Ryan rookie at the guys store?

[@SammyThunder]

JandE, if you're referring to his RC, I think Jason was asking for $1200. He also had a 71 Ryan for $125.

[@JohnnysCards55]

@@SammyThunder got it! Graded and what was the grade? Reason why I’m asking is because I am not too far from him distance wise

[@SammyThunder]

I believe they were both raw.

[@JohnnysCards55]

@@SammyThunder ok good stuff! Was he nice to work with?

[@rippingvintage]

Man love the Moses Malone and Snider! Killer pickups buddy! Great prices! Well done man!!

[@SammyThunder]

I was worried Moses Malone would not get acknowledged lol.

[@rippingvintage]

I got u there buddy! Loved the cards man!

[@leagueleaders]

Absolutely awesome pickups! 59 topps one of my favorite sets, I have both grey and white backs complete . I loved seeing all those cards in the shops you visit. Really cool they let you film.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks. It can be a hit or miss.

[@jchcollins]

Nice stuff! I think a 6 is a bit optimistic on that Snider given the lower left corner.

[@SammyThunder]

Perhaps. The centering is truly remarkable on it.

[@jchcollins]

@@SammyThunder It's a beautiful card no matter what it grades. I'm for whatever reason without a Snider card in Brooklyn right now. (I have a NM or so '61 Topps...) Will have to fix that soon.

[@GreenvilleGear]

Great stuff. Just discovered your channel. Thanks for sharing. Fun finding a fellow collector / vintage collector. Cheers

[@SammyThunder]

Absolutely. Thank you!

[@tommylabors]

Some great prices in that first showcase,but a 76 Johnny Bench for $50 ?!?!?!

[@SammyThunder]

I have no answer for that one. That said, there were a lot of cards for nice deals.

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

Sammy you going to grade that amazing 57’ Duke Snider ? I have always loved that card.

[@SammyThunder]

Next month. Absolutely

[@ricopetrilli1084]

Dusty Rhodes was known for starring in the 54 World Series in an otherwise unremarkable career.

[@SammyThunder]

And then he went on to become the mouth of the south 🤣

[@SammyThunder]

Thank you Colin! Welcome to the channel! I definitely aim to deliver the best quality content for y'all. Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see.

[@timvincent2069]

Great 59 cards Sammy! Probably my favorite set for Topps. I like the Early Wynn and Felipe Alou cards.

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks Tim. I’m getting closer to completing it.

[@dk_kardboard]

That bike race is so cool. I have my eye on the ‘69 Mets team. That Seaver would have been perfect for me. I see you 69 Nolan Ryan. I absolutely love that card. Don’t have it yet. Really cool fat stack of cards. Some amazing prices. I agree with your approach. The Hoyt looks cool for $3 in a binder is no brainer along with others. I haven’t collected basketball but I do love those tall boys. Great looking Duke. Mer had some correspondence in the 57 Mays. I recently showcased that in a vid if you are interested. Nice lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@SammyThunder]

Are you working on a 69 set? I just finished watching your newest video. The 57 Mays is incredible looking. Surprised it received the grade of a 2.5.

[@dk_kardboard]

@@SammyThunder Awesome! I just recently decided to work in the 69 Mets team. So far I’ve made very little progress.

[@sfisportscards8323]

So much fun collecting these types of cards. I love those '59 baseball thrills cards. Got one myself. Can't go wrong at these prices. Great pickups Sammy!

[@SammyThunder]

Thanks man. $1 card boxes are the best!

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

Awesome episode Sammy. I just love 59’ and those team cards are epic. The 54’ so sick. The pin holes are really cool I like thinking about the kid who had that on his wall. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@SammyThunder]

I should’ve asked about where they got the cards. It was definitely from a collection purchased by the store.
