Great VR Jim! Glad YT got you back into the hobby. Documenting your collecting through videos is a great benefit that not everyone realizes. And the friendships and comradery are the best! I have you entered into the drawing. 👍

[@PickerJimS]

Hi John! Thanks to KZbin I am thankful to call you a friend! Congratulations on 2K subscribers! Very well deserved!

[@CleanCheapShots]

Thank you for sharing your story Jim. As you can imagine, I loved seeing those old school A's uniforms. I have always liked the Red Sox red hat that you showed with Yaz. I actually have one and it has the leather band on the inside. Wonderful VR Jim and I hope to see you at the National.

Jim, so glad KZbin helped you grow and share your collection with the masses watching. You've helped this commenter with his on rekindling of sorts into the hobby. It doesn't hurt that you are a Red Sox fan😁. All those uniforms speak much to the game. Glad to here your perspective on them.

[@PickerJimS]

[@Dodgertown_76_Fungo]

Awesome VR Jim. I enjoyed hearing your story. Very entertaining. You shouted out some great channels that are vey inspirational. I also really dig those 70s uniforms and team USA uniform for the win. It was a great time to watch baseball. Thanks for bringing up great memories. Cheers

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much sir! I really appreciate your comment and support! Have a nice weekend!

[@undraftedplayer]

Hello Jim two great great VRs ! I loved all you said and showed in this video ! Love all the uniforms you showed. You forgot to includ the Boston Celtics uniforms...😁. Thanks Jim for sharing and Happy Collecting.

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Fabien! You’re right, I should have included the Celtics away uniform, I do lob that one! 😁 I appreciate you watching!

[@davidm686]

Great VR Jim! Awesome to hear how KZbin really got you back into collecting. And you’re 100% correct about how much all the connections and friendships mean…I never would’ve expected that either. Love the uniforms and I’m with you on the blackhawks Unis too. Take care my friend 👊🏻⚾️🏒

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks David! The cards and memorabilia are great but interacting and building friendships with awesome guys like yourself is the best part of the hobby for me! I hope you had a great weekend brother!

[@fastbreaksbreakfast]

Sweet VRs, Jim! Love your origins story and can’t argue with the awesome jerseys you chose. Cheers!

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much my friend! I appreciate you watching!

[@peterb4871]

Couple of great vr’s. My coming back into the hobby is very similar

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks for watching Peter!

[@baseballcardcrazy9871]

Thanks for sharing! Love the Blackhawks jersey!

[@jga59]

Hey Jim - I love your "back to collecting" story. I haven't made the jump into videos, but just commenting back and forth with many of you has definitely made collecting more fun. Nice uniform choices!

[@PickerJimS]

Hi Gannon! One of the things that make this hobby so much fun is meeting and interacting with awesome guys like yourself! I always appreciate your support and thoughtful comments! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend!

[@jga59]

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@Dcollection]

Hey Jim! Loved hearing how you started on KZbin and how it got you back in the hobby. The hobby is a better place with you in it. I liked that you and your dad went to shows together. It’s hard to beat those A’s uniforms. Loved the nod to the Blackhawks. A nice touch! Great VR’s Jim! Hope all is well and one of us can enjoy the NBA Championship, haha

[@PickerJimS]

Hi Andy! Thanks for the awesome comment! The best thing about being on KZbin is meeting and becoming friends with great guys like yourself! I hope you’re having a nice weekend!

[@the_card_closet]

Great vr! I agree, that is my favorite red Sox uniform too. Remember those gray ones in the 80s? Oooof

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Eric! Yeah those gray Red Sox uniforms weren’t great, definitely better than the city connect uniforms though, can’t stand those yellow jerseys! I appreciate you watching buddy!

[@signsofthepastime]

I hadn’t heard the story of how you got back in the hobby, Jim. Funny that you mentioned SilverJackify because he was one of the first I watched too. Love all the jerseys you mentioned. The 70’s had so many great ones. Thanks for sharing, Jim

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Hugo! I appreciate you watching and leaving an awesome comment! Have a nice weekend!

[@diecastcollector508]

Great story about your yt journey Bro, I completely hear you the BEST feeling for any collector is to showcase his prized possession to the world and you've always delighted us each time with your work, God Bless You Always with more success and power 🙏🏻 Like 15, FULL WATCH 👍🏻

[@PickerJimS]

Dude! Thank you so much! You always leave the kindest and most thoughtful comments! I appreciate it, really means a lot to me!

[@vintagecardssteve8582]

I remember you you put out your very first video Jim. You have come a long way and have stayed true to who you are. You are a great guy have always stayed true to who you are and you do not forget us little guys. We are very thankful for this. I love thise throwback 70s and 80s colors as well. A's and the Eck Indians one is great. Enjoyed buddy. ⚾️

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much Steve! You have been with me since the beginning! I really appreciate all your support and your friendship, it means a lot to me!

[@CollectingMaddux1987]

Great VR Jim! The Boston button downs are some of my favorites. I never got into the pull overs though

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Allen! I appreciate you watching! Have a nice weekend!

[@commentingcollector]

Excellent VR , two great channels! Strong words regarding your involvement in collecting being null and void if it weren’t for KZbin, I might feel the same way, now that I think if. I’m so happy that KZbin had brought us all together! Thanks for sharing and Good Collecting👍❤️oh and I almost forgot/ you’re spot on with those uniforms- glad that you mentioned the Expos!

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much Robert! I love the cards and memorabilia and all the memories they bring but the best part of the hobby for me is meeting and interacting with awesome guys like yourself! I appreciate you watching and I hope you had a great weekend!

[@vintageonvintage817]

Great VRs Jim! Loved your story on getting back into the hobby and KZbin, we are lucky you saw Silver Jackify's video! Love the uniform callouts! The A's, Expos, and Pirates of the 70s are all great calls. The Blackhawks and Bruins uniforms are some of the best in all of sports! The only thing missing is the Dodgers uniform😆

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much Steve! It’s interacting and building friendships with guys like you that really make me appreciate what KZbin has done to enhance my enjoyment of the hobby! I appreciate you watching and I hope you had a great weekend!

[@godisgreat8462]

Well done

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks friend! 👍🏻

[@AngryOldManTTM]

Super VR's Jim. Enjoyed hearing about your journey about staring KZbin videos. Super choices for the uniforms. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much Ed! I always appreciate your support and hearing your thoughts! I hope you had an awesome weekend!

[@warrendinCLE]

I love your story Jim! I knew I liked you for a reason! Thank you my friend. I hope to meet you in person!

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks so much Warren! It’s been a pleasure getting to know you! I’ll be at the National Wednesday through Sunday. It would be awesome to meet you in person!

[@burleycardboard]

Great stuff, Jim! I sure am glad you got back into collecting and started up your KZbin channel, as I really enjoy your content! I also agree with your uniform picks! Some great looking uniforms on your list!

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate your thoughtful comment! Have a nice weekend!

[@tigers727]

Great to hear your story about getting back into the hobby. Great choices of uniforms. The hockey cards and uniforms were great. I think the Original 6 of the NHL are all great. Take care!

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Greg! I completely agree, the original 6 NHL teams all have great looking, and classic uniforms! I appreciate you watching and I hope you had a great weekend!

[@TonyBlack574]

you love the A's jerseys because you're a big fan of notre dame :)

[@PickerJimS]

I do like the Notre Dame uniforms too! 😁

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

Jim, I am glad you took the plunge into making content. Thankfully, you saw Silver Jackify’s videos. You make a good point about few people watching your videos. Most of us start out that way. Be yourself, support others and stick with it for a while and those who are interested will watch. Love the uniform choices. The Red Sox with the red caps is my favorite uniform they wore. Pirates, Padres, Expos and Astros are all synonymous with their era. Come on! The Yankees don’t have names on the back either on both their home and away. 😂 Have a good weekend, my friend.

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks Terry! Forgot all about the Yankees uniforms not having the names! 😂 Not many teams are keeping with tradition when it comes to uniforms! I appreciate you watching! Missed seeing a video from you this week! Have a nice weekend!

[@warrendinCLE]

Love your uni choices!

[@northcoastbaseballcards]

Awesome video Jim! I'm interested to hear what your perspective is on the city connectors is if you like them or not ? I got back in the hobby in 2019, primarily just to collect Hall of Fame autographs and it really expanded. A lot for the same reasons that you have the nostalgia of collecting with my dad who had recently passed away. And all the good memories associated with it. Thanks for sharing. Jim

[@PickerJimS]

Thanks for the awesome comment Greg! I’m not. Big fan of the Red Sox city connect uniforms, really don’t like those yellow jerseys! LOL! Some teams city connect uniforms are pretty nice though, White Sox come to mind. The cards are great but the nostalgia and friendships we make are even better! I appreciate you watching!

[@marksantucci4230]

Did you go to card shows only with your Dad or did you go with Friends? if not for youtube would you still be going to the Cape? of the thousands of card you got rid of were any of them cards you got as a kid or cards you got later on in life say at a show or the card store? did you enjoy card shows in Chicago and Atlantic City? you forgot about small shows and meeting Space man Lee? A extremly Talented artist!!! Those Indians uniforms look very different , different from Buddy Bell and Mike Hargrove? Pirates had great uniforms!!! so did the Padres, yes the Powter blue uniforms of the Expo's are classic ? I also like the late 70's Red Sox uniforms classic. The Yankees don't have names on the back of their Jersey's too? I like that Mr. October card the early 70's!!!! nice Jim Hunter. Nolan Ryan the early days of his cards are classic starting with 1982 and contiuing to the end of his carrear not so great not sure if it has to do with the value , just that he has better cards from earlier time period, or I didn't grow up with in the 80's? I like Cal Ripken, Ryne Sandberg , Tony Gwynn. but like Alan Trammell, Graig Nettles, Lou Whitaker, The Real Ken Griffey and Nolan Ryan i'm not a fan past 1981 although I do appreciate cards of the early to mid 80's more now? what do you think about the Yankee uniforms? what do you think about the more modern Pirates uniforms? what do you think about Angels uniforms which do you like better todays or when Bobby Grich , Jerry Remy, Ken Landeroux, Frank Tanna , Nolan Ryan was there which Angels uniform do you like better? which Denver Broncos uniform do you like better what they wear today also when Jake Plumber was there or older uniforms like when Rick Upchurch Tom Jackson, Haven Moses and Craig Morton was there? what do you think about the Carolina Hurricanes which uniform do you like better the original or the ones they wear at times now a days?

[@PickerJimS]

Hi Mark! Thanks for the awesome comment! When I was a kid I only had 1 or 2 friends who collected cards and the only one I went to card shows with was my father. We only went to shows in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I have great memories of those days! I have a place on the Cape and have been going out there since before Ingot back into the hobby in 2018. I actually met Bill Lee at card shows in 2019, 2020 and 2021. He is a great guy! I love the uniforms from the 70s and will always pick them over today’s uniforms. Yankees uniforms are classic and I like that they stuck with tradition but as a Red Sox fan I’m not allowed to like them! 😂😂😂 I appreciate you watching as always! I hope You had a great weekend!

[@marksantucci4230]

Hi Jim here are my answers I had one friend that sports cards and that's the same friend you met in Atlantic City my friend Larry. we also use to do shows after the show we went to Sizzler also we did shows localy in the New Jersey area. I also like the Yankees uniform.
