28
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.520
let's get part two of our conversation started. Here is

29
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.879
part two. We're gonna start off Tony uh Demarzio brought

30
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.039
some cards up with him, so we're gonna kind of

31
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.800
get into that. But we're gonna cover a lot of

32
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.439
ground here on this second part of the episode. I

33
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.479
see Tony's got some cards here. We saw Tony Leebrick's

34
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.840
heyk Aaron, awesome, awesome card. You know, we talk about,

35
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:45.400
you know, with vintage, right, certain players, certain players, certain cards.

36
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.680
Sort of our better values if you will, than others like.

37
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.039
They we might love them all and I do, but

38
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.120
there's certain cards that you know, certain cards we all know,

39
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.639
like you're you know, one off the time, run off

40
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.319
the top head, it's the low hanging fruit, right, Mickey

41
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.759
Mantle never goes down, right, if anything, always gonna have

42
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.439
an up barrow or you know always you're rarely gonna

43
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.560
lose or sell it for less than you you're paid for.

44
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.080
Talk about that aspect when when you're acquiring cards, you know,

45
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.240
looking long term, when maybe there comes a day you know,

46
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.960
like Tony said, like he sells cards to buy new ones.

47
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.319
You both you know, I do that as a dealer

48
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.319
when I set up at shows. But talk about certain

49
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.080
aspects or certain players and cards of the hobby sort

50
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.639
of being better for that that long term.

51
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:42.000
If you will.

52
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.560
So when it comes to any kind of cards, and

53
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.120
this is going to hit home to the modern collectors

54
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.199
and even the vintage collectors like us who have who

55
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.599
remember how our childhoods went and we have children ourselves.

56
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.280
When you buy sports cards, I think you need to

57
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.360
think of it as any other form of investment.

58
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.840
There's an exit strategy.

59
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.240
And if you're buying cards for fun, like I probably

60
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.840
have the world's greatest Steve Jeltz collection, that's fun. You

61
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.759
know if the cards, I mean, the holders themselves cost

62
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.199
more than the cards, So that's my fun part of

63
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.399
the hobby. But when you start buying Clemente and Mantle

64
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:29.399
and these modern players like the Crow Armstrong and Harper.

65
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.560
You gotta work and even try out's a big lesson.

66
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.600
You need to think about the extra strategy because if

67
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.839
you want to upgrade into a bigger card, or if

68
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.560
you have to sell the card for whatever reason, you

69
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.600
got to think about how easy it is to move

70
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.879
that card, how liquid is it? And I think from

71
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.920
folks my age growing up in the nineteen eighties, we

72
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.560
found out from Wally Joyner and jose Canseco and Kevin

73
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.399
Moss and Jefferies and all those others, the extra strategy,

74
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.079
the exit strategy wasn't our future four oh one ks

75
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.000
or the retirement plans like the USA Today articles we're

76
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.000
all talking about.

77
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.240
So with that in.

78
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:17.480
Mind, I value players who no longer play, even if

79
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.040
it's a recently retired player, I feel much more comfortable

80
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.120
investing in that person because when you're spending a set amount,

81
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.800
regardless of what that number is, it's a form of investment.

82
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.959
So I just think we need to keep that in

83
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.680
mind when we buy.

84
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:34.000
Now.

85
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.720
At the National, I exhausted my budget. I don't know

86
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.360
if you did.

87
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:38.720
Also.

88
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.240
Thursday, Well, things pop up.

89
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.000
I have a top fifteen list and sometimes it comes in,

90
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.560
it grows to a top twenty list, but I try

91
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.920
to keep it to fifteen. But there's things that pop

92
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.879
up that you don't expect. And in the last two

93
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.879
months a few items popped up at auction. One of

94
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.759
them is a Craig Krinler painting, so I was able

95
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.560
to pick up the Honus Wagner painting. This isn't the

96
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.399
big one, the sixteen by twenty. It's a it's a

97
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.000
color sample. So when this popped up on eBay of

98
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.399
all places, I just felt like I had to have it,

99
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.680
so I moved inventory. And that's where the exit strategy

100
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.040
in the hobby comes in. So when you think of

101
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.839
excess strategy, I would just say think of Babe Ruth

102
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:33.800
and Mickey Mantle as good examples and big time Jackie

103
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.040
Robinson's unique because when I was collecting, when I was

104
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.560
my son's age, Jackie cards weren't as liquid as they

105
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.000
are today. Demaggio and Yastremski they were more liquid in

106
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.399
my opinion, but now Jackie Robinson's liquid, So just think

107
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.040
about the exits.

108
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.040
Yeah, Unfortunately, I know that firsthand from not buying him

109
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.319
more earlier and trying to play catch up and ked

110
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.480
you know, hit me and they hitting me in the wallet.

111
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.079
But yeah, you know, especially if you want to add

112
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.480
new cards to your inventory, go ahead now.

113
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.759
In the last example, I'll give in some situations where

114
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.199
I can't move twenty Mickey Mantle cards to a Ford

115
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.000
to nineteen fourteen and fifteen Cracker Jack, Walter Johnson and

116
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.439
what's the other, Honus Wagner. I was able to do

117
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.560
that in March, but something else popped up recently and

118
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.279
I wasn't. I didn't have enough time to trade the cards.

119
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.319
And that was a sixty seven Venezuelan Clemente. It's in

120
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.000
nice lower grade which most of us are used to,

121
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.120
and that was a card where I dipped into my

122
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.439
national budget. So for this national you know, I'm taking

123
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.279
it easy, which takes a lot of pressure off and it

124
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.240
allows me to enjoy it more walking the aisles with

125
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.079
my son and it keeps him from looking at old

126
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.040
guy cards.

127
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.399
Well, so my story.

128
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.879
When I got back in the hobby about four or

129
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.720
five years ago, one of the first things I did,

130
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.959
I really wanted to collect all the Hank Aaron cards.

131
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.839
I really love Hank Aaron. I liked what he stood for,

132
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.519
what he did in the face of racism and hatred

133
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.319
and just killed it. He's the last Negro league player

134
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.519
to ever suit up in a major league game.

135
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:28.399
So I wanted to get is.

136
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.120
I did that, and then I jumped into Mantle and

137
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.000
I did his whole run, and once I did.

138
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.879
It, I kind of felt like I did it.

139
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.399
And so it was just some other cards came up,

140
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.840
and the way I could afford those cards was to

141
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.039
offload the Mantles. And there is nothing more liquid in

142
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.639
this room right here than a Mickey Mantle card. You

143
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.360
can sell them if you get good ones that are

144
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.120
in good shape.

145
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.919
Yeah, go ahead, here's the crazy thing, Tony. All the

146
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.399
Yankee fans are gonna hat. I know, I know mister

147
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.799
Lane's about to like throw daggers at Mickey Mantle is

148
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.919
a great player. I don't think that goes without saying.

149
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.480
But like you look at some other guys from that time,

150
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.720
like will you can make an argument maybe Willie Mays

151
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.240
was better, or Hank Aaron. They're all Hall of famers. No,

152
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.919
you know, my saying is you're not kicking any of

153
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.519
them out of bed. But you know, Mickey Mantle playing

154
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.200
in New York, the Mecca, especially at that time.

155
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.360
But it still holds true, like you.

156
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:37.159
Just said, all these years later, right and listen, Mays

157
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.759
is another one that probably falls into game, but I

158
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.399
still think he's almost underrated. I don't know if you

159
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.519
guys agree, car hobby wise, maybe not player wise, but

160
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.120
hobby wise, I think sometimes his stuff sometimes brings something

161
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.240
to be like, man, that should could have brought more.

162
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.840
That's you know, that's a great buy at the at

163
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.480
that level.

164
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.159
Yeah.

165
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.360
Just something that Tony said was it's interest because when

166
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.279
we did our transactions, we really didn't talk too much

167
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.159
about it at the time. We let each other know

168
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.240
what we were thinking. But I just found it interesting

169
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.159
and a lot of other folks do the same thing.

170
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.159
Mantle's the first player who we looked to when it

171
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.240
comes to liquidating, and probably the first player we looked

172
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.360
to replace those cards down down the road.

173
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.919
Yeah, exactly so with me when something big came up,

174
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.320
and that big card, my grail card growing up when

175
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.360
I was a kid, was a fifty two Mantle and

176
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.320
I got that couple of years ago and it sat

177
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.000
on my bedside table for about three weeks watching me sleep.

178
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.919
It was my baby. I took it to work with

179
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.639
me and set it up against my lamp on my desk,

180
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.080
so it could watch me work.

181
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.960
Your doors, like right, yeah, exactly.

182
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.519
And I love the I love the card and I

183
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.080
still do.

184
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.080
But then there's another card that came up, and it's

185
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.399
a nineteen fifty tall Taro's Josh Gibson card, and there

186
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.879
was only thirty of them in the world. And he's

187
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.559
the greatest Nigger League hitter of all time. And when

188
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.919
the Major League stats went official, he's now the leader

189
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.879
in batting average, he's the leader in slugging percentage, and

190
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.120
the leader in ops passing Babe ruth In Tykov. Now

191
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.039
you can debate whether that's crazy or whatever. I don't care,

192
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.080
but it's a fact. And the guy, if he wasn't

193
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.440
banned from playing in the white major leagues, would be

194
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.799
on par with anybody that we would talk about in

195
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.000
this room today. So I wanted that card. How could

196
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.600
I get that card? Well, I had to liquidate some

197
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.759
cards in the one and I had to do it fast.

198
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.440
So the fifty two mantle went. I made about fifteen

199
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.279
grand off of it. I had two signed nineteen fifty

200
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.200
five Jackie Robinson's. I moved that within twenty four hours,

201
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.639
and then The third one was a nineteen fifteen cracker

202
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.799
Jack Hannis Wagner.

203
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.000
Now I had collected these over years, but it was like.

204
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.000
Putting money in a bank account, and so I was

205
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.360
able to raise one hundred thousand dollars in thirty six

206
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.519
hours and was able to make that deal. It was

207
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.279
another collector that was selling it reached out to me,

208
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.799
and I couldn't turn that down. So I got rid

209
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.600
of important cards. Now, the fifty two mantel, I absolutely

210
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.759
want another one, but I'm gonna have to save up

211
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.039
for that bad boy and or sell some different cards.

212
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.120
I noticed three people got up when you talked about

213
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.720
getting rid of the mantle, so apparently they were here

214
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.919
to buy it, and now that they heard you didn't.

215
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.039
But here's the deal with those the mantle, there's three

216
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.360
thousand of those. I can go to Ash's table right

217
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.480
now and buy one.

218
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:42.360
He has eight.

219
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:48.480
Okay, every big auction has those. There's the fifteen Honnis Wagner,

220
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.519
the Crackerjack. Most auctions will have that, the fifty five

221
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.799
Jackie the sign. There's only eighteen of those. I had

222
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:57.879
two of them, so I could get rid of one.

223
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.440
So that's how I wit down what I was willing

224
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.440
to move. You don't have to have huge cards to

225
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.919
do that. There can be a five thousand dollars card

226
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.039
you want, and you've got three cards that add up

227
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.759
to that that you curated, that are got great eye uphill,

228
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.279
and you can move those to get that card. This

229
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.720
is just an example that tall of taros. There's only

230
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.159
been four public sales since twenty nineteen, so there isn't

231
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.440
gonna be one come up. There isn't one in this

232
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.080
room right now for sale, so just you know, that

233
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.480
was an opportunity. I can go get the other ones.

234
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.279
I got to get the Wagoner to complete my Crackerjack set,

235
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.679
and I want another fifty two Manil, so it's just

236
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.360
a temporary thing where that is not in my collection.

237
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.000
I missed that card though, because that was the card,

238
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.960
and I hate that bothered me, to be honest with you.

239
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.639
But I see you rhythm around that right now talking

240
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:57.000
about it.

241
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.320
Bothered me, man, Can I see ahead?

242
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:03.440
Much like Tony's nineteen fifty two Mickey Manel That's a

243
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.200
card I've been wanting since nineteen eighty six, so I

244
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.159
was ten, But my nineteen fifty two tops MCKEI mano

245
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.679
to me was a nineteen sixty eight TOPS three D

246
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.720
Clemente test card and I found that maybe two months

247
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.159
before the last national which was in Cleveland.

248
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.600
So that's another card I had to move.

249
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.919
And it just comes down to, you know, if you

250
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.960
don't have the cash, just having cards that are liquid. Yeah,

251
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.639
and it hurts to move those cars. I mean, Tony,

252
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.519
you talked about that tops mgimnol card as much as

253
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.960
I talked about that three D clement and it was

254
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:40.840
rough to get rid of.

255
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.159
My second YouTube episode was I found my Grail card

256
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.159
and I tell the whole story about how I got

257
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.039
to fifty two manle And I said when I did

258
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.879
my tall Tarist video that either I was lying or

259
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:56.120
I was a hypocrite. But I wasn't either. I was

260
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.360
saying that facetiously. But it did hurt. And honestly, some

261
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.879
of the things that you pick up that you have

262
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.559
to actually give something up to get makes that thing

263
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:06.799
mean even.

264
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.080
More to you.

265
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.320
So because you had to get blood, sweat and tears

266
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.480
to get that card, and so that one is definitely

267
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.360
one of those cards.

268
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:15.720
Yeah, that's a great point, right.

269
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.799
The story of not only the cards themselves, but the acquisitions,

270
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.440
the journey to get them are the people you mean

271
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.960
to make an acquisition, right, Sometimes you get to know

272
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.080
the person you're acquiring the card from.

273
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.600
Uh in a way maybe you didn't anticipate.

274
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.759
And you make a great point tony Brook too, with

275
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.000
like they're all great cards, right, but you're you're moving

276
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:46.559
some to acquire one that you just can't find, right,

277
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.279
You as great as those cards you've moved to acquire

278
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.960
that Gibson in this case, you can get those cards again,

279
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.720
They're not cheap, but you can you can find them, right,

280
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.919
But you just don't find those Gibson's as easy as

281
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.960
those other cards, so you can replace them eventually. You know,

282
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.840
Rome wasn't the old cliche, right, Rome wasn't building the

283
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.000
day you can pick them off in your whatever your

284
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.639
time frame is the Gibbs. And like you said, good luck.

285
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.559
Even if you came into this building with the sole

286
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.080
intent like that's all I'm getting and I'm walking out

287
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.480
of here, you still may not get it because it's

288
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.879
not here.

289
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.240
There's only one of them in the building right now,

290
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.759
and it's with PSA.

291
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.799
So that tells you how hard it is. And that's his.

292
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's it's that goes to show

293
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:36.559
you right.

294
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.639
It's time for a quick break, but we'll be right back.

Sports Combination has Reasons.

307
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.880
Someone asked me when I you know, one of the

308
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.960
questions I got to ask guys when I got my

309
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.359
Jackie Leaf.

310
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.960
Like would you ever sell it or you know?

311
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.119
And my my initial answer is no, like I waited

312
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.759
a long time to get it. But you know what,

313
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.440
you know, you can never say never, right if if

314
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.240
the right deal came along or something else that you

315
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.359
can you can make a sale or a trade to

316
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.240
get something, and then I can buy that card maybe again.

317
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.880
But you know, I never say never, right, the old cliche. Yeah, learn,

318
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:18.720
you know, because unless it's an irreplaceable card, it can

319
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.160
be replaced as long as you want to spend the

320
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.920
money to do it.

321
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.839
So yeah, Now, the ones I won't move are my

322
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.559
signed vintage cards, like the Mantles. I've got a nineteen

323
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.480
fifty nine Mickey Mantle that he signed for me in

324
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.799
person when I was fourteen years old. That will never

325
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.000
leave my collection. And I can say that one hundred

326
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:43.279
percent because mister Mantle touched that card in front of

327
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:47.160
me and said hello. So that has an emotional connection

328
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.400
that can never be broken. So that'll go to one

329
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.039
of my kids or something. But the other ones are

330
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.839
just they're awesome, but they're a currency.

331
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.039
Let me ask it us.

332
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.799
With the Gibson, we've already spoke of the significance of him,

333
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.759
the player of that card, being very very scarce and rare.

334
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.400
You know, along these lines, Tony, do you ever see

335
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:14.519
a scenario where that gets moved or that's that's the

336
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.799
exception to the rule.

337
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.599
I'm never gonna say never.

338
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.640
I mean, I don't know for right now, I'm fired

339
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.039
up to have it and it's in my PC and

340
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.319
I'm gonna cherish it.

341
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.200
And I love the fact I have it. I love

342
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:27.799
his story.

343
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.359
I've read his I read the book, and I've done

344
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.119
a lot of deep digging into the Negro League history

345
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.400
and that sort of thing, and I just really, I

346
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.200
don't know. I'm into it, so I can't. I honestly,

347
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.319
I can't ever say never. The only one of my

348
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:44.599
collection I can say that about is that mantle.

349
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.319
That's it.

350
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.039
Tony Demarzio, do you have a card Maybe not here obviously,

351
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.839
but do you have a card that you can say

352
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:54.400
never or no?

353
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.839
Uh, the sixty eight Tops three D Clemente. Because I'm

354
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:02.519
one away from the set and I'm also working on

355
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.839
the extended set. There's a few cards from that set

356
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.039
that are considered proofs that were never made it into packs,

357
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:14.119
and yeah, that's some. I have a sixty nine Tops

358
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.519
Nicky Mantles signed and I'm the second owner. The original

359
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.079
owner had it signed at the first East Coast National

360
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.240
and the person also was able to take photographs of

361
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.519
Mickey signing the card. Demaggio's also in another picture, so

362
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.559
that might be another one. I would probably never move

363
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.000
just because even though it's not like Tony, I didn't

364
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.400
get it signed personally, but I know that it was done,

365
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.359
you know, and it has provenance to me.

366
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.160
You mentioned Greg Jeffries earlier. I have three binders of

367
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.559
Greg Jefferies rookies in mike garage that will never get moved.

368
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:52.160
And my wife wanted to throw them out and I said, no,

369
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.359
they stay, they they stay in the garage. I'm obviously

370
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.319
kidding Tony. I see you have some cards. I don't

371
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.599
know if you want to bring something up here or

372
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.440
talk about.

373
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.640
Coming in Chicago.

374
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.920
I really wanted to bring my signed eighty three Opach

375
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.960
Ryan Samberg, but unfortunately I forgot that home.

376
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.200
But I did have a few pickups here.

377
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:20.480
For those who collected Robin Roberts or other Phillies, this

378
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.440
is a nineteen forty eight Philadelphia bulletin Robin Roberts.

379
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.519
It was the first, one of the first.

380
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.880
Cutouts, and you would cut it out it came it

381
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.599
actually was issued in a newspaper that came out only

382
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.279
on Sundays, and it has comics on the back and

383
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.240
I just thought it was like really cool, and I'm

384
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.279
a Robin Roberts collector, also had a chance to pick

385
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.240
up my first two Japanese cards, much like the sixty

386
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.279
eight tops three D test cards. This is a nineteen

387
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:57.519
seventy one Kaya Baya three D O card and I

388
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:01.720
just like how it looks. And I'm a Smoky Joe

389
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:04.440
Wood collector and this card means a lot to me

390
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.759
because it came from a friend.

391
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.920
It's part of how I had money to buy Cracker Jacks.

392
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.319
It's a nineteen sixteen M one on one for.

393
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.160
Blank back Smoky Joe would and uh, two other cars

394
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.000
I want to show quick. My son's here and we

395
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:24.920
picked up a Cooper flag. I want it in a

396
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.160
He talked to me. Anthony talked me into doing some contest.

397
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.599
And it's a BGS nine twenty five Cooper flag. It's

398
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.839
my first modern basketball car purchase in a while.

399
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.480
And the last one.

400
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.839
And yours are mine.

401
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.119
And then the last one is a nineteen ninety six

402
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:51.240
Eachiro Japanese card. Another it's a it's a Lenticular three

403
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.759
D card and I thought this was pretty cool. And

404
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.440
it's a it's a PSA eight and I'm looking at

405
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:58.839
I'm like, wow, this looks really looks nice for a

406
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.200
PSA eight not or whites, you know, great higher or lower.

407
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.440
But it's just cool because it's something you don't see

408
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.079
every day. And as I progress in the hobby, I'm

409
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.000
getting more into the things you don't see every day,

410
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.640
what some people call ought, you know, odd ball food test,

411
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.160
regional farm. I just think it's pretty cool. And the

412
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.079
last thing I picked up at the car ladder booth

413
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.400
was deodorant, so if anyone runs out of it or

414
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.759
you will buy a person who needs one, just.

415
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.759
And if you have a really tiny armpit, I was.

416
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.599
Gonna say that looks like it should last about thirty

417
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.119
minutes and you've got to go back and get another one.

418
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:40.720
But yeah, the old joke, right, deodorant and comfortable shoes,

419
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:46.200
and uh, most people smell good. That's that part's good

420
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.000
and uh but yeah, that's those are those are all

421
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:49.559
great cards?

422
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:49.720
Right?

423
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.920
How about the like you know when we talk about

424
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.079
like the Lenticular cards, right, it seems like we appreciate

425
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.759
them more today than we did even when they came out.

426
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.359
I remember being a kid with the Kellogg's releases, right

427
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.640
and pulling them out of the cereal boxes, and they

428
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.640
were cool. But I didn't love them, but today I

429
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.000
buy them and especially if they're on cracked and not curled,

430
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.640
and I'll get them slapped. And speaking of that, I

431
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:24.160
have one for you. But like what, we appreciate stuff

432
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.519
sometimes more now than at the time.

433
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.880
We like to live through them.

434
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.519
Like it's just funny how that goes, you know, even

435
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.720
like for me, I used to hate exhibit cards.

436
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.160
Then one touch.

437
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.319
Them, one talk about them, people would offer them, come

438
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.440
up to my table, you want these?

439
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:42.960
Like no, and I've.

440
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:44.559
Done a one eighty on them, Like I don't want

441
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.559
to say I love them, but I'll acquire them now

442
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.920
where before I wouldn't have even considered that. Like, it's

443
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:56.000
just interesting how our opinions can vary and change on things.

444
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.400
And the particular card to me, it's like I'll be

445
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.880
the birth of the of the refractor, which everyone loves now,

446
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.119
so I think of it that way, and that again

447
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.799
that helps me tie what I collect vintage to what

448
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:11.920
my son does modern.

449
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:16.720
Yeah, for you, Tony Leebrik, has there been anything like

450
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:19.519
you were out on, let's say, and then you've changed

451
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.079
like over the years or later on coming back, Like

452
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.640
you know, I didn't used to like these, but now

453
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.400
I kind of do well.

454
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.440
When I first got back in and I was in

455
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.559
the vintage, I thought some of the strip cards were

456
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:35.960
kind of ugly. And then I got into the Black

457
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:39.880
Sox history and started reading a lot about that, really

458
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.559
got into Shoes Shoe Jackson and started collecting his cards.

459
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.839
And the one set that's most related to the nineteen

460
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:52.279
nineteen Black Sox is the w FI fourteen strip cards.

461
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.759
So I fell in love with those and I started

462
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.200
I did the whole White Sox team set. Took me

463
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.960
about a year a year at all those because they're

464
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.720
harder to find some of them than others. And so

465
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.759
that's something the thing that I changed into a lane

466
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.720
that I wasn't originally. I mean, I guess I've always

467
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.319
been there because I had that mantle with signed vintage,

468
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:15.519
and now that's like my big lane.

469
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.480
I'm all in on that.

470
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:19.039
I never was out on it, but that's something I

471
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.960
got into and now everybody bugs me about it.

472
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.480
No want to authenticated and slabbed.

473
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.119
It's real, that's right, No, I try to be you know,

474
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.519
look I look at the autograph, try to figure out

475
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.039
if it looks real or not for I buy it.

476
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:35.480
But I'm not an expert either.

477
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.279
Got a few minutes left, guys, I guess it was

478
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:44.400
announced that the twenty twenty eight National will be in Atlanta,

479
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.640
closer to you. Kind of your thoughts being from the

480
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.799
South scene in Atlanta? Do you like that? Indifferent you?

481
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.039
Where do you fall on?

482
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.559
Now? Yeah?

483
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:55.039
I like it.

484
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.920
I go to a big convention there at the Georgia

485
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.200
World Congress Center, which, if you don't know, is right

486
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.000
by where the Georgia Dome is. So it's in that

487
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.359
downtown Atlanta corridor. You're not gonna walk to a lot

488
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.480
of places to eat down there. It's more of a

489
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.279
it's not industrial, but it's more like just buildings like

490
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:14.000
where you work.

491
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.720
So is it like Cleveland was a little bit where

492
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:18.119
there's nothing too much around it?

493
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:19.599
No, because it's Cleveland.

494
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.920
The Big X Center wasn't downtown. No, it was Atlanta's

495
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.960
dead downtown. And so so if you're gonna go, the

496
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.559
ideal place to stay is that it's called the C

497
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.480
and N Center, and there's a big hotel right across

498
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.759
the street, and you just it's kind of attached to it.

499
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.400
You can stay in places downtown. They have a really

500
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.599
extensive metro system, which is the subway, so you can

501
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.319
stay in the peripheral part if you want to, where

502
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.559
there are restaurants, and you can get on that subway

503
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:51.880
every morning and take it and you get off right

504
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.759
underneath that Atlanta, the Georgia Dome area. So that is

505
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.640
a very important point because if you've never been to Atlanta,

506
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:05.039
what you need to know is the traffic is unbearable,

507
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:09.480
so you need to either be by a subway or

508
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:11.720
you need to be in one of those hotels within

509
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.720
walking distance. The Georgia World Congress Center, you're gonna like

510
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.200
much better than this setup because it's one humongous room.

511
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.240
In the ceilings are high, so.

512
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.480
You can actually get an idea, you can see things better,

513
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.400
and it's easier to find your way around. But the

514
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:32.960
broom is so big that when you look to the

515
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.960
other end, you can't hardly see the other wall because

516
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:39.440
the curvature of the earth. So it's gonna be a

517
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:42.559
better setup as far as this where it's gonna be

518
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.400
kind of laid out like a city with city blocks

519
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.680
with numbers. This is kind of curved, so it's a

520
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.319
little more difficult to get your bearings. You're gonna like

521
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:55.720
that better. But again, stay where there's a metro and

522
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.680
stay near the place one of the two. Do not

523
00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.720
try to drive there.

524
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.160
And I used to attend to Peach Bawl. I'm a

525
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.759
big college football fan. And once you started talking about it,

526
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:12.240
then my memory came back. The senior moment passed and yeah, yeah,

527
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:14.279
So now when we try to book the hotel, even

528
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.160
though we have a couple of years, everything's booked, right.

529
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.279
Yeah, and learn to talk southern, Okay, just talk slow.

530
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:24.880
Well, there you go.

531
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:28.559
Some insider tips for the twenty twenty eight National three

532
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:32.440
years in advance, right, but good advice there. All that

533
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:37.599
stuff can help you navigate an already big show. Right, guys,

534
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.200
we have like a minute or two left. First off,

535
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.839
thank you for a green that you come up here

536
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.440
and share the stage with me. We could do a

537
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:50.400
whole another hour probably if we had to, but just

538
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.799
kind to give out where people can see your content

539
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.559
what you're doing.

540
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:56.319
Yeah.

541
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:01.000
So I'm on Instagram with Southern Collector fourteen all one word,

542
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.759
or you can go on YouTube Southern Collector fourteen.

543
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:05.799
I released one video per week.

544
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:10.519
My niche is baseball history tied into the hobby, but

545
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:13.839
I also like to do interviews with guys that have

546
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.559
really awesome collections, who are experts in certain lanes, and

547
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.200
they share their knowledge and their cards, and it's a

548
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.400
really really cool thing to see.

549
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:28.359
I'm on Instagram and YouTube, TJ T as in, Tony

550
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.279

Is O N L I N E.

552
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.720
And you'll know it's me because I have a Sports

553
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:39.799
Impressions Mike Schmidt coffee mug from the early nineteen nineties

554
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.839
that I kept all these years, So just look for

555
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:42.599
the coffee cup.

556
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.160
And in closing, I want to thank a national for

557
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.480
having sports coordination. I think this is our fourth or

558
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.079
fifth time doing a main stage performance. Try to bring

559
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.880
different people off each here as well. Thanks to them

560
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.640
for having me. I'll make my simple. If you google

561
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:05.000
sports coordination, everything will just come up, probably some stuff

562
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:07.799
you don't even want, so make it easy for it.

563
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.279
Thanks everybody. Thank you man.

564
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.480
