I’m so glad you guys are talking well of card collector 2, ryan

[@mostmodern]

Chris Sewell is by far the best content creator in the hobby. Definitely would not consider him an influencer, but an educator. His videos on how to approach grading worthiness are great. I also love his grading reveals with his predictions videos are awesome. He’s also responsive to communication. I’ve emailed twice, and received responses both times, on resulting in a regular rollers feature. Chris is S tier.

[@Mikeygee99]

I like Scotty B Cards. He does informative videos on print runs, how to look at collecting modern cards

[@JunkWaxHero]

Yes! Good call

[@JunkWaxHero]

I’ve only watched a few of his videos but he’s also a good Twitter follow.

[@BobBoozle]

One of the best baseball card channels.

[@eriks5729]

Agree!

[@crazykev6491]

Spot on with regards to your thoughts on KZbinrs. 100%

[@briankane759]

John Mangini, Mike Moynahan, Scottie B Cards, and Chris Sewell are my top 4. No BS, and all in this for the right reasons.

[@briankane759]

[@briankane759]

I also watch Dustin, Geoff, and Ryan a lot. All seem like good guys and I do enjoy their content. It's all like a buffet. Take what you like, leave what you don't.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Thanks!

[@cacsports]

Solid conversation, glad that you brought a civil discourse to KZbin on the topic.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Thanks!

[@robertlanham7830]

Great video. My insights experiences: - SCR definitely entertaining! - CC2 great guy; been to his shop and spoken with him at numerous shows. My concern with Ryan is that Fanatics, Gary V and the like are going to try and manipulate and use him and he may fall prey to that. - Dustin (SCD): he definitely makes videos just for the sake of daily content. No new news and he never takes a stand on anything. A very nice guy in person but basically like plain yogurt - there’s nothing there to make you want to consume it. Jabs - enjoyed the one vintage sale I participated in - BBCCID - Chris is a great guy and I’d say he’s a positive educator as opposed to influencer SCI - Geoff and his team are very nice in person and seem genuine. I think he got in over his head in the best of times/worst of times in the sports card market. Some of my faves are: - Flipping Steve - NEO - Cards & Comics - MidLife Collector

[@C.Baumann]

Loved this discussion. I think you hit the nail on the head on everything you covered. Cheers!

I also like Wade Boggs Fan, Bear Cards 34, and EliteCo3. Thanks for the vid.

[@thememefactory8108]

Eliteco3 is some of my absolute favorite videos. Would love to meet in person.

[@commentingcollector]

Great topic and conversation, here’s my take:, Advertising/ marketing executives are paid handsomely by manufacturers to figure out the best ways ways promote their product. Therefore, it’s a pretty safe bet that if a KZbinr is getting paid to do Ads as a sponsor or spokesperson on their channel- they’ve been determined to be an influencer.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Good call, Rob. I can now say from personal experience that sponsors call people they sponsor “influencers” in contracts. 😬

[@bowmanbrent419]

My list of positive and great channels. Stryker Breaks Step in the Box Neo Cards and Comics Silver Jackify Of course all of Bench Clear Media!

[@chrishayes4166]

The Past is Alive (the other Jabs bro you referenced here) is easily one of my favorite yt card channels. It's so funny to me that he's the brother of "Jabs Family", but obviously he's his own person. His card content and hobby perspective and frankly hilarious personality that he openly shares with his audience is incredibly fun and relatable to me. Ultimately I connect to card content that is educational/newsworthy in the hobby, relatable to a section of the hobby I am interested in, and/or exudes authentic (to me) passion and energy for whatever topic from the creator.

[@Mikeygee99]

I totally agree wit The Past Is Alive being a good channel. Jon’s channel is fun oriented. He’s a generous guy and when he does breaks, it’s old, inexpensive wax.

[@ryanfitzgerald2816]

Yeah, Jon is way different than Eric, that's for sure. Haven't watched Jon's channel in a while but did enjoy his searches for the 1990 Topps NNOF and just looking for dumb error cards and things. Way different vibe from his bro.

[@jimf1451]

I shouldn't say this but I often refer to Jon as the "good brother" lol

[@jordanhudson5075]

Didn’t he get rid of his dog because it was barking during a video

[@BobBoozle]

It's a fun channel especially if you grew up opening packs of cards in the 80s or 90s.

[@bowmanbrent419]

NEO Cards and Comics comes out with a video then an hour later Dustin has one talking about the same thing almost the same way. It does feel like he makes content just to make content and copies. Now granted something big happens in the hobby everyone is covering it but he just seems like he just steals from his buddy. Huge fan of Neo, not so much sports card dad or whatever.

[@daniellarsen889]

Its all about the clicks.

[@daniellarsen889]

When people say "like, hit the notification bell and subscribe," are those who are only in it for money. Geoff Wilson truly did ruin the hobby with BS and now is back tracking every ounce of advice he crapped out of his mouth. Keith of the Vintage Card Curator is the best hands down and It's not even close. Every video he makes is extremely well done, educational and only puts them out seldomly. Can you get Keith on the show? I think he would be a great guest.

[@MidLifeCards]

I really enjoyed this episode, guys. I think my gut on different guys is similar to what you all think. It’s tough, because nobody wants to say anything “bad” about anyone else, but we also want to encourage consumers to gravitate towards those that will benefit them most. I could see from how you both talked about each, that you were fighting that issue as well. Appreciate you both and your sincerity for the hobby and being authentic.

[@JustinKircherjK]

I never really thought of Chris Sewall (Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer) as an influencer. I would bet he wouldn't consider himself that either. I think of him as a storyteller and a professor. While he has informed, entertained and I guess you could say influence how and what I think of the sports card hobby, I still wouldn't categorize him as an influence...if that makes any sense

[@mostmodern]

Spot on analysis. Chris rules in every sense.

[@jasonb5613]

There’s a influencers for every type of collector. The problem is everyone is a expert now. Everyone has opinions on everything. IMO stay in your lane, worry about your stuff, not others. I would say 75-80% of people watching card videos are over 18 years old.

[@mikethesportshistorycollec1947]

I think you guys are spot on in this video. I really don't think anyone's videos really influence me other than giving me knowledge I didn't have before like a certain card/cards I had never seen before, or different ways to set up displays in your hobby room, etc. At the end of the day, i'm going to buy what I like, and definitely what I can afford.

[@JunkWaxHero]

Thanks Mike. Well said.

[@Runnygraph20]

I told SPORTS CARD INVESTERS WHAT I THOUGHT ONE TIME AND HAVENT WATCHED SINCE. People like him messed the hobby up for kids making box prices skyrocket F em

[@randyworden5232]

You two don't give yourself enough credit...you are both intelligent and honest and demonstrate knowledge without pounding it down anyone's throat. Still waiting for the beast II reveal. Actually I watch different presenters for different reasons but most do have something to offer. You take what you want from

[@ballcardsnbonsai13]

It seems like anyone who has a public channel is going to be an influencer to some degree. Even if it’s to a very small audience. As viewers, we gravitate towards the ones we like most, whether it’s for entertainment purposes only or for helping us in our own collective pursuits. I think the only really “bad” influencers are the ones who intentionally scam or take advantage of others. It’s great that we have so many options on KZbin. It’s always smart to do your own research as well before making any kind of a purchase. Watch the ones you like and are making your own experience more enjoyable and turn off the others

[@billyoh2007]

Quickies Not in certain order just Rando at 2 am 1. Sports Card Nation- listen too over the top production … go to sleep with him love his regular guy personality. John from the hood lol 2. Card Collector 2- again only listen to when going to sleep. Love the banter between the three guys I’m old they young . Great segments that they have. What’s on your mind etc. Lacrosse… Golf like to hear about subjects from young guys that I know nothing about. 3. Sports Card Investor. Not really a Geoff fan but their 30 min quickie 5 subject show with Tpot? Is awesome. Like for the entertainment factor. 4. Double D. I’m from Cali and surf. Really nice guy.

Fun topic. Good discussion. I am more or less in your arena on all but Sports Card Radio - I think it’s just all about drama - I have a personal low tolerance for that (and he’s always so mad 😡 r giddy to be dunking on someone 🤮). I think the comment about Jabs being an entry point that people grow away from is spot on.

[@4cssportscards345]

I think all channels are afraid to say anything negative about SCR because they might get pummeled by them. Good or bad, they crack me up.

[@MikelTulp]

Oops not you, I meant sport card radio

[@MrJmangini]

Almost half way through so far. Good conversation.

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

Great episode guys 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@JohnNP3]

Enjoyed the discussion. In my opinion there’s a place in the hobby for everyone you named. I don’t look at any of these influencers as good or bad. I enjoy watching videos from some of them and not so much from others, but that’s ok. Labeling them as good or bad suggests that there are right ways and wrong ways to participate in the hobby. I’d prefer that the hobby embrace a wide variety of collecting, investing, and dealing, in no particular order.

[@MasterShake300]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Rudy over at AlphaInvestments. He doesn't do sports cards, but is still along the same kind of line. I don't mind Jabs, i kind of use his videos more as a tool, see what, if anything, is worth ripping. It's basically a window shopping channel. And yeah, when the pandemic hit, his channel was one of the first ones i really got into and watched, and from there i've gone on to find a lot of good/better channels. Geoff is in for the clicks/views 100%. He doesn't care about what he does (good or bad) for the hobby. Not really worth my time. SCR is entertaining, it's the Jerry Springer of the card world. lol. RIP Jerry.

[@markhoyle2275]

Maybe I’m that old school collector. I’ve been collecting the same way for 50+ yrs. I watch a bunch of KZbin channels but don’t think any have drastically influenced me. I do like to see new cards and love the various discussions

[@brushben22]

All of them are good. Every influencer has a way to reach a certain platform and audience. At the end of the day, they are a large part of why our cards are up so much compared to pre pandemic. They keep interest and I like that. 1 guy you forgot was Sports Card Therapist!! He’s the man who is more genuine than most all influencers mentioned

[@jordanhudson5075]

Flipping Steve is great for the hobby, the man for two years in a row this year will be three but has sent someone to the NATIONAL FOR FREE WITH OUT ANY SPONSORSHIPS NOT ONE, and he’s not a big channel unlike a lot of the other guys y’all mentioned here tonight, covered air fare, took care of the room for three nights, you will never ever hear him beating on his chest saying look what I did, he doesn’t do it for clicks he does it because the dudes a good person and loves this hobby, but it blows my mind how a small channel like him just one guy can send someone to the national for free but I’ve never ever heard of a big company doing anything like that.

[@TheSportsCardDad]

Flipping Steve for President!!!!! 👌

[@lapp3r30shockeycardflips]

Appreciate the video and insight. It is interesting... People have messaged you and they're inspired and..... One might say influenced? Inspired could be argued as simply a more aggressive form of influence. Why is that bad? It is near impossible to make ANY statement in a public forum with any amount of viewers to not influence by definition. To make a staement, have an audience take it in, digest it, form their own opinions or thought, is influencing direction of thought. Someone may ultimately agree or disagree or be neutral but there was an impact to the thought process someone had. That influences. What changes is each individuals conclusion based on the information given. "I hate breaks! Buy singles" That is going to have someone question why they break. Maybe they don't care and keep doing it, maybe they realize that it's -EV and terrible, maybe they say meh... That's his opinion. Regardless that is a thought that has the potential to change behaviour. The definition of influencing. Or maybe it inspires them to to not break. Ultimately, I don't think it matters. Just have fun... Do what you want, give opinions if you want, talk about whatever you want and share knowledge or experiences. But it all influences by definition. Thanks for the content.

[@bubblesnz1059]

People hate on geoff for the sake of it, its kind of old at this point when he's so genuine. Feels like an extension of the wider envy driven stuff in society. Although I think your takes on him are fair Dustin was amazing and then just fell off a cliff and become a better looking version of scr. Used to watch every video, but it all got too negative for me. You missed packman..... number 1 influencer in the game. His product reviews can make or break things. Seems like a genuine guy, not opposed to being critical Surprised you didnt mention one of the most polarizing ones too in grand curator. Personally i enjoy his stuff because its different and he seems to legitimately enjoy things. So long as you account for him seemingly loaded from something previously and burning money in cards, its just good fun. Dan the card man seems to be gaining traction too, he seems balanced and well researched although it is drifting towards the overly cynical side. Also missed the sports card nonsense guys. Still not even sure how I feel about their stuff Favorite kinds of videos are your chasing cardboard series!!! you guys are just super genuine and positive and seeing peoples collections be shared is underrated. Surprised how few videos there are on people sharing their collection or storage stuff though.

Geoff wilson, sports card COLLECTOR is one of the biggest hypocrites in this hobby. This hobby would be in such a better place if he were to just go away. As far as Dustin SCD goes, I finally unfollowed him and It’s the first and only time I’ve done that with anybody. It seems like he got into financial trouble and is now in all this to make up for it by making videos just to make them with no creativity or original thought. On top of endless reaction videos, he crams eeeevery possible sponsor/ad that will give him money down everybody’s throats. It’s to painful anymore.

Because for years he pushed for the buying and selling of ultra-modern product, and really manipulated the market in that manner. Now, he’s all of a sudden doing and promoting literally the exact opposite of everything he stood for before.

I hate the term “influencer,” as if people are sheep who need to be influenced. Maybe it’s the grumpy old man in me, but when someone tries to influence me to do something, I high-tail it in the opposite direction. I also keep scrolling when there’s a thumb nail or title that appears click-baitish. I’m in the newspaper business and know some of the tricks they try to have us use to get clicks. Despise that. I like guys who educate us about cards. My favorites are the deep dives into sets and the “favorite/least favorite sets of (fill in decade).”

[@jimf1451]

The only disagreement on your lists was grouping the Jab brothers together Erik (Jabs Family) IMO is a waste of video other than people seeing high end cards they can't afford themselves (ultra modern) . Jon's (The Past is Alive) I feel is a down to earth good buy he rarely does paid breaks when he does it's junk wax with a buy in close to purchase price he bought the box for most of it is his own ripping to find junk was errors, rookies or junk wax subscription boxes.. He's responsive to chat on live shows if a super chat or regular chat. He also responds to emails if you have a question or comment. His and Mike (Baseball Collector) are two of my favorite channels for content, with Jimmy Gunz being favorite for the community during his Gunz Shows

A lot of good salesmen are smooth talkers and "friendly" when you meet them. Their actions often can tell a completely opposite story however. Geoff Wilson definitely falls into that category.

His wife interrupted a live once needing a ride to the hospital and he made her drive herself so he could continue the break.

Hey guys. I concur with your reviews on these channels. For context, I am 47 and I too did disappear from the hobby since 94 or 95 and got back into it in late 2020.

Jabs Family - Good for the hobby. He grows the hobby. I don't like him, but I'm not calling him bad for the hobby. Much worse out there. Chris Sewell is GREAT for the hobby.

Sports card investor bought at the top of the market. You can say who cares it’s his money,? Problem is he has the people that follow him and take his advice and probably lost a lot of money.

Has he influenced you?
