Добавлен 7 дек 2021
Have you ever wondered about the history behind your cards? Who it was that designed your 1911 T205 or 1941 Play Ball? How about the companies and products, or what America was like during the time in which they were issued? This channel explores the history surrounding our cards and how the Hobby was founded and will include details I was unable to add to my longform articles on my website.

The 1963 Topps Fooball set has interested me for quite some time and while I started collecting the cards, it gave me an opportunity to study the players and the teams. One of the more challenging cards to acqire was the rookie card of Willie Wood. I found his career interesting and wanted to share it with you here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_players_with_chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy

I can't imagine anyone else then Robert Stack porytraying Elliot Ness in The Untouchables TV series.
FYI... there are hundreds of Joe Sewell baseball cards and frame variations. You can easily find cards under $10.
Came across your video by accident, and what a lovely surprise to see that your talking about my grandad Sam Hardy. My son Mark has already commented. While there are people like yourselves who take the time out to research, he will never be forgotten, Thank you. .
Hi Ryan, my son Mark has already commented on your video of my grandad Sam Hardy. Was really interesting. Amazing that even now he his still talked about after all these years. Once again thank you.
I'm really glad that you and Mark saw this video! I started collecting vintage Soccer\Football cards during the pandemic and it got me interested in these players and wanted to tell their stories because very few collectors were. Sam Hardy is one of the 100 greatest Football players of all time and his story might interest someone to collect cards and\or become interested in the game.
Hi Ryan, thank you for the video. Loved listening to all. Sam Hardy is my Great Grandad 😊
@@MarkOles-j5e Hey Mark, it was fun doing this video of your grandfather. I wanted to share his story and introduce him to another generation of fans
@historythroughcards-shortc814 Absolutely brilliant, thank you. You’ve made both mine and my mums day having listen to all ❤️
I love that 1960 Pumpsie Green card! Nice segment!
Thank you very much. Pumpsie Green's 1960 Topps is quite nice.
Hey Ryan ! Great Show ! 4 months ago I did a 8 minute Show on Don Buddin talking about Pumpsie & Tom Yawkey you might like. 6 months ago I talked about Roman Mejias making Tom Yawkey a little less racist. Yawkey paid to get Roman's family from Cuba to U.S. That episode is labeled : Iconic Sports Monments. Because my Dad was at the Red Sox 1959 Spring Training Camp, he has a really neat program I have yet to show the interiors, Pumpsie is in it. I figure its the first Red Sox publication with a photo of a black player on the team. The past few months I've been doing Shows on the autographs my Dad got at that 1959 Camp. I mention Tom Yawkey in my Gary Geiger Show. Yeah, Pinky Higgins did not do any blacks favors. Neither did Clay Hopper, until Jackie Robinson changed his mind. Bobby Bragan was another mean guy who said some terrible things to Emmett Ashford a black umpire in the PCL. I have yet to do Shows on Bobby & Clay's autographs. Such depressing stories. Lately been doing Shows on struggling minor leaguers. But gonna switch it up & put out a few Shows on World Series Pitchers, Bud Daley & Turk Lown. Nice of you do to a Show on a Bay Area Boy, Pumpsie is from the same City as Travis Williams, Richmond California. His one brother played for the Cowboys & his other brother played college football. Hope your doing well. Peace
I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this video. I played this for my son on the way to college and he’s not even a baseball card collector and he was entertained and intrigued by the whole story!
Nice review of a player not too many of us notice in the vintage collecting circles. Hopefully, that will change with help of videos like yours here. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I enjoy covering some of these forgotten players and obscure stars. I thought he had a great story to tell as well!
I always liked the design of the 1982 White Sox cap. The White Sox have a great history too. I'm pretty sure the team lost the ALCS in 83 by 1 game allowing the Orioles to get in the World Series.
always wondered why the choice of the white sox hat?
One of my favorite artists of his generation. Hugely influential. Never knew his connection to cards! Thanks for bringing this to light.
@@theratedrabbi I thought this is a really neat aspect of the hobby I just had to share!
@@historythroughcards-shortc814 I can only imagine the time you put into your episodes. Must be a labor or love. Appreciate it!
What a great video and enjoyed it so very much. Would love to have the Joe Wood Holmes to Homes as part of my collection. I enjoy the rare backs of the M101-4/5 and other pre war cards. Just subbed to your channel !!
@@JoeWoodCollector-Doug Thank you so much! Joe Wood is a really interesting player. He's got a great story, so maybe I'll do a video on him shortly. I really enjoy the M101 series. It's not colorful and flashy, but has a great history, player content and awesome photos. A Holmes to Homes Smokey Joe Wood would be nice, and I hope you can make that happen at some point!
Thank you for bringing awareness to my great grandfather’s legacy. As a child I remember him going to those type of trade shows on weekends that you met him. As time goes on, it’s easy to forget impactful lives of those before us that cleared the way for our modern day comfort. 🕊️RIP granddaddy, miss u and I strive to make u proud everyday - Brandon
@@dallasman881 It was a pleasure to do this video and share Wilmer's story and impact in the game. It was just by chance that he happended to be sitting next to Monte Irvin back in 2001 Afterwards I really wanted to learn more about him and I never forgot about your grandfather. He did a lot of good.
Betty was my grandmother! I have that card as well! Thanks for sharing and highlighting her story :)
I thought your grandmother's story deserves a movie - it's fantastic! When I saw the card, I got curious to find out who she was, and oh man, how impressive was she! Love the card, hopefully someday I can add a copy to my collection.
I agree with most stuff but young guns 2 is amazing
@@TrueFictionmusicproductions I'll have to rewatch it since it's been a long while. I've heard that Lou Diamond Phillips and Emilio Estevez say they're working on a new movie.
@@historythroughcards-shortc814 you said your reason for not liking it is inaccuracy, yet the first film was also highly inaccurate. You pointed out doC didn’t die at stinking springs, Charlie did. That’s true But in part 1, Charlie died at Mcsween’s house which was wrong
The amber and maroon shirt is when he played for Bradford City, however he spent most of career at my club Sheffield United winning several honours, winning the league and FA cup. He was famous for commanding his penalty area, he was 6 ft 2 and around 16 stone in his prime when young, which might not appear massive these days but back in 1900 there were very few people over 6 foot or anyone weighing over 13 stone. Back in those early days you were allowed to be more physical so he used to intimidate/ frighten opposition players. Also Bramall Lane is the home ground of Sheffield United FC, the oldest football stadium in the world, hosting the first football match in 1862. It also hosted the finals of the oldest and 2nd oldest cup competitions in the world (The Yourdan Cup and Cromwell Cup). Also had the 1st ever floodlight match, hosted England test match cricket, England internationals and several other firsts too.
Cool stuff! I was checking out some of his artwork. I love it. Looks like he may have a descendent that owns the rights to it unless he left those rights to a foundation or something.
It looks like a grandson takes care of the Mucha estate. I was think perhaps at least some of his work is in the public domain due to age? I like his work a lot but I'm not sure if I could choose a favorite.
Art and sports cards in the same video? Love it! I had never seen the Ramly packaging before. It’s really interesting that Ramly used Mucha’s artwork as their cover art. Great discovery! I really enjoy his artwork. Very unique. Fantastic video!
@@senseidominoe15 Mucha's work is fantastic, and I was pretty shocked to see it used in Ramly packaging! In fact, they used 3 different pictures of his.
Where's your mic?
@@riverview9320Thank you for asking, I appreciate it. It's actually broken. I'm in the process of getting a new one.
Historical Researcher Dan Edwards is onto something✔️; this wouldn't be the 1st time that historical research has corrected false narratives. Truth Matters✔️
Great video
@@yodapapavintageamericana Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I've always been fascinated with the history of this card and I too found this interesting.
I was in the Marines during Desert Shield/Storm serving with 4th MEB and the rest of the amphibious forces. I never saw these cards or even knew they existed until I got back stateside. Although no doubt some boxes made it out to the troops, I suspect a lot of boxes got intercepted and never left the states. In any case, this is my favorite modern set for obvious personal reasons.
@@sgtjarhead99 Thank you for your service, I really appreciate that. This is pretty interesting because I've heard of a few other accounts similar to yours, but all from collectors and not from service members. I feel that this is one of the few sets of the era that is truly historic.
Pee Wee is a great player to collect. Well done.
I agree! Pee Wee has a great story and has some awesome cards out there!
Yeah I kind of think every collector should have a copy of the Sports Collector's Bible. Duke Hott had an incredible memorabilia collection that I think he started in the late 60's or early 70's. I think he sold it in 1995.
I probably should have dived a little deeper into the collector index guide in the back of the book. I'd like to introduce or reintroduce some of the guys to today's collectors. There's a lot of great Hobby history here!
One thing is for sure..... Lying conman Brushy Bill Roberts, was NOT Billy the Kid........you Brushy Bill people are utterly DELUSIONAL 😆😅
Another great video. Have a happy 4th of July. Cheers.
@@Dodgertown_76_Fungo Thank you so much. Happy 4th to you as well!
Cool shirt Ryan. We need to bring back brass in music.
Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream & Other Delights was the first album I listened to in my dad's collection as a kid and have been a fan ever since! Rise is excellent too. If Herb Alpert has a card out there, you know I'd make a video! I think he's in a Panini set from the late 60s. I've got other favorites, Billy May, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Anthony, Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker, but Herb is in my top 5 for sure!
I heard of Billy the kid when I was nine years old on American history, Mr stroll waa a great teacher and I’m sixty nine and been a fan of Billy
I love the Wilt from this year. Great card!
That's a fantastic card! The player choice, design and colors make the set great.
Really enjoyed this one, Ryan. Thanks for sharing. I started looking into cricket a couple years ago also. Hobbs was the first I dove into. The earliest I have is his 1908 Wills in an SGC 5, but I’m still chasing both of the 1907 cards. Those are definitely some of the pricier ones to acquire, but still a fraction of the cost of a HOF baseball player from the same era.
Congrats on acquiring a 1908 Wills Hobbs! That's a nice card. I'm thinking of doing a small video on how to identify some of these early Cricket, Soccer (I mean Football) and Boxing cards for collectors, since I have found it a bit confusing trying to place dates with many of these cards. I agree that Cricket cards, and early Football cards are fairly cheap right now compared to Baseball, and I wonder if that changes in the next 10-20 years? Some of the biggest names in the sport are pretty affordable which I like. They're still a challenge to find, but the thrill of the hunt is fun too!
Amazing information as always, Ryan. Well done.
Thank you very much, I appriciate that. The more obscure the hobby history, the more I enjoy doing these videos.
Well done. You always make very interesting content. I'm really surprised you don't have over 5,000 subs. Looking forward to your next show. Take care
Thank you kindly. I enjoy finding obscure hobby history for fellow collectors. This one I thought was interesting.
I love this vid. I just recently had a barn find with the Al todd in it as well as other crazy finds. I found some amazing cards like the 33 Lou. The more I research this set the more I want it. Thank for this vid. Is there a difference in the color as far as being rare? I got the green back ground and am curious.
Congrats on picking up the Al Todd! I'm glad you enjoy the video and hope it can help you out. It's a simple, but fantastic set. Traditionally red is a difficult color to print. It's normally used in advertising and the first color you see. Since we don't have any sheets, I don't know which color (if any) could be more difficult other than what I related in the video. I think green is my favorite color in the set followed by yellow.
It’s really interesting to think of what these guys did to put these lists and information together. We take it for granted today. Just little things like at some point you have to make the decision to call a set complete and then checklist it.
Or how this hobby was put together, from the checklists to categories and prefixes to the pricing data and condition guides - all took painstaking time and energy. No one paid these guys. They did it for the love of the hobby. This is the stuff I really enjoy!
He was overtaken by outhouse fumes
1950. You're welcome.
Thanks for the throwback bro
You're very welcome, I enjoyed talking about Sid.
Just imagine if Bunky and Herbert Hunt had decided to corner the baseball card market instead of the world silver market.
Excellent video
Great story Ryan. There are always idiots out there that think they can take what's not theirs, but most of them get caught eventually
Hello Im John and thank you for the best story on Brushy Bill Roberts.My family was tied to The Kid. In Pat Garrets Book the Real true life of BTK. And shortly after a movie of The Kid Time Life Magazine did an article on 8 / 4 /1941 Where they Interviewed my Family . I not only have prominance . But i have Very convincing proof that Brushy Bill knew something that proved his identity beyond the shadow of a doubt. My uncle started a family tree and spent 55 yrs doing research on our family tree. They came here in 1576 the BTK tie to my family is a small part of a story i have put into book form. It has not been published as of yet. But im close. Thi info i have on BTK will answer once and for all Brushy Bill was in fact BTK. Thank you. John
John, thank you for your comments. If or when you do publish, I'd like to read your book and findings. It's a really interesting story that Brushy Bill tells and as I've said before, the official narrative has a few swiss cheese holes in it and gets a little confusing. I'm okay if they find out Brushy Bill wasn't Billy the Kid, but then it opens up for more questions as to how he knew details not known to historians until after his passing? Either he knew a regulator, was family to one or he was in the area at the time? Or he really was Billy the Kid, but a DNA test I think may solve this?
I just recently finished my book after 3 yrs penning it and 15 yrs researching on top of my uncles 55 yrs. Im at a stand still as i need to figure out how to convert my hand writen book into a microsoft word document. Im 70 yrs old and i dont know computers. As i stated my family came here in 1576 They were involved in . The wild horses of N. America the American revolution the Pueblo revolt indian wars the Founding of Albuquerque a private Spanish land grant of 176000 acres. The Alamo. The Buffalo soldiers. Ft stanton My grt grt gpa is listed in Pat Garrets book twice. BTK was in love with my grt grtAunt i have proof on all of this and the 1941 time life article listing my family as a sorce on BTK history. BrushyBill is BTK.
@@user-jvgonzalez now that is interesting . And I wish to know more . Any info would be welcome
Great video Ryan! They recently caught the Maris thieves, and they told authorities they melted down the metal.
How sad is that, abd nothing is sacred. What this does is deprive the public of seeing and learning from these items. It was just such an a-hole thing to do, abd for the little monetary amount it was a complete waste. You could probably make $12 grand buying and selling sports cards easier.
Howdy Ryan ! Nice Show, sad subject. Thieves. And this is why I would not donate any collectables to anyone or any Hall. I'm sure Cooperstown is pretty secure, but if My Dad was to donate his Signed historic Orioles Scorecard or his autograph book, I would be afraid of it being displayed for a Season and then put into the Halls archives never to be seen again, defeating the purpose of the donation. By me displaying the items on RUclips, the world ( 12 or so viewers ) get to see my Dads collection yet it stays "in-house". C Ya !
You reminded me of something that the Camden Yards tour guide said - the 1966 World Series trophy hasn't been seen since 1966 and they don't know where it is! Also, Cooperstown isn't as secure as most would like to believe. The 1972 theft wasn't discovered until 1977 and 4\5 baseballs weren't recovered until 2000.
I can’t even imagine being a Berra family member. It infuriates me, can’t imagine how they feel. I didn’t know Dimaggio’s rings were stolen too. Probably melted down for Pennie’s too. 😡
❤
For whatever reason, but I just don't see a professional like Pat Garrett risking his life for free. Sorry. Not to mention they were friends.
All those folks and no photographer? Sounds like a picture taking event to me. And you can google it pat never got paid
Anyways thanks for an interesting discussion people!
And as far as getting the bounty of $500 whether Pat got that or not is neither here nor there because he would have split that with Billy.
And that they were riding together at one point and anybody who knows tightly bonded outlaws will tell you you have each other's back to survive. It's just second nature. Not only that it's common code amongst serious individuals.
