John P Collects Cards

Sharing my baseball card collection as well as thoughts about the hobby and game.
Five Reasons Why Topps Five Star Autos Are GREAT for Collectors
Showing 11 autos in all from what I believe is a really good current product for collectors to explore on the secondary market. If you haven't ever picked up a Five Star auto, I encourage you to add one or two for your collection. They're great cards.
Thanks for stopping by!

Просмотров 34614 дней назад
Jump to 10:24 to get right to the grades. It's only 5 cards, but this was a pretty special grading submission for me, highlighted by a 1951 Berk Ross Joe DiMaggio. A 1966 Topps Jim Palmer RC, a '64 Koufax and cards from 1953 Topps and 1933 Goudey also featured. Thanks for watching as always! #vintagebaseballcards #sgc #cardgrading

I'm using the 2024 World Series matchup as an opportunity to thumb through a couple of 1950s baseball publications featuring Yankees and Dodgers. RIP Fernando Valenzuela. With apologies in advance for the cat meowing in the background, smh...

Let me know what you think about this 1949 Bowman Bob Feller I won in an eBay auction recently. It's my first Feller, I love the card and do really like this copy. It has some great things going for it. I just wish its imperfections were a little more noticeable in the eBay photos. Shout-out to @WadeBoggsFan, who talked about inconsistent photo quality in eBay listings in a recent video, a pet ...

The long established and newly expanded LCS in West Michigan has a nice-sized event area for its monthly show. I live an hour away but try to make the trip a couple of times a year. I picked up four cards, two vintage and two modern, and overall had a fun time. #cardshow #vintagebaseballcards #sportscards #grandrapids

Nice Vintage Mail Day! Plus: Goodbye, PWCC
Nice hit!!
Except their resell on the secondary market sucks … so if you wanna lowball its pretty easy to do
Hi John. I`m not much of an autograph collector for the most part. I have to admit, Those Five Star Autos look spectacular. Congrats on all those beautiful pickups. That Rivera one is awesome, you`re right, he does have a gorgeous autograph. Thanks for sharing my friend, Talk soon pal.
@@RipFan8 Thanks, Stephen. I alluded to HoFer autos I'm still targeting. No. 8 is one of them. And yup, it's great finally having a Rivera. Great to hear from you!
Seems like quality product
I really think it is. Fanatics seems to not have messed with it too much, other than continuing to jack up the already super-high price for a box. And there are only 8 boxes -- 16 cards -- in a case, so it's a bad break buy as well. Singles on the secondary market are the only way to go, IMHO.
Great looking set!
I think so, too!
Some great autos John! The Williams, Marichal and Rivera are all sweet! Love the Frank Thomas, big fan of the Big Hurt! Enjoyed this one as usual!
Thanks, Steve -- I was super excited to finally add Mariano! And I really like the color match on the Williams, too. This year's base design is pretty nice, too. I'm a fan of Five Star -- can you tell?
Well done my friend
Thanks!
John, nice cards. I'm sure if you're collecting a specific team, you'll find cards going back a few years, possible good deals? Thanks for sharing your cards and knowledge.
Great idea -- something to keep in mind for sure. Though my team is the Yankees, so sometimes it feels that deals are few and far between! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Very nice. I’m a graded RC collector but I like these autos as well might look into it. I prefer hall of famers to current stars. That Mariano signature is the best around. Great video.
You mentioned graded RCs... Five Star cards are almost like slabs in their own right -- very substantial. And there's that solid and substantial checklist as well. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks so much for the comment.
I like seeing positive videos. New Sub ❤
Thanks so much for subscribing. I really appreciate it! And I'm glad you enjoyed this video.
That auto is a really hard pull from a blaster. 1/17000. Nice hit.
Awesome Aaron. I have the ‘58 Spahn. I love the Green background on the background of these two cards. Awesome autos too. Take care. CK
Thanks, Topher, I really appreciate it. The left-right centering on the Aaron certainly gives it a nice boost in the eye appeal dept. It'll be great to add the Spahn at some point.
@ you have a very nicely centered Aaron there! The Spahn is my favorite Spahn card. I’ll share it in a video down the road.
Great pick ups John no doubt for me that 58’ Hank is just a glorious card one of his best looking 🤙🤙
Hey Dylan! Yes, that '58 is pretty well centered and it compensates a bit for the overall considerable wear. I think it's going to look really nice in its tux. I love his '67, which I have, and I also love his '61, which I don't have (yet).
Nice pickups, John!
Thanks, Scott! I really appreciate it.
Hi John. Really nice pickups. That Witt Jr. auto is a beauty and for a great price. Wilkins was a great player, for $10 is awesome. I don`t know much about modern, but to get a prospect card in that grade, for that price, can`t go wrong. Awesome Carter auto pull. I love Dempsey Auto, and he played a big role in O`s last W.S. victory. That raw Aaron card does look nice. Thanks for reaching out yesterday my friend, talk soon pal.
Hey Stephen -- Yes, it was great to connect yesterday! Thanks for watching and commenting -- I am really happy to have a Witt auto (I thought it was beyond my comfort zone at this point), and re: the Dempsey, getting surprise inscriptions is one of my favorite parts of TTM auto collecting.
Rick Dempsey was the 1983 World Series MVP ... but without question, his greatest moment came during a rain delay in Milwaukee. ruclips.net/video/0LXmbsKD6jw/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Yes, not sure why I didn't mention his rain delay performances!
Hi John, congrats on the Carter pull. Those are crazy odds considering you don’t open much unopened product. I can’t believe a slabbed Wilkins auto is that cheap. I am with you on the Yankees. Hopefully, Hank Aaron helped the sting of the loss a little bit. I am disappointed more by the way they played in game 5. It was like they were trying to give it away. Tough to watch. Witt has a pretty nice signature. Especially, by modern standards. Take care
Hi Terry -- Carter was a fun and unexpected pull for sure. On the Wilkins auto, I think I caught the dealer off guard and he just wanted to make a sale. I agree, $10 sounds really cheap. Overall, the Yanks were outplayed, but no doubt, the World Series should have ended in Los Angeles. Losing a 5-0 lead just like that is tough.
Hey John, Some really sweet pick-ups! Love the Witt auto, he is just starting to scratch the surface of how good he can be! Dominique was a human highlight machine. That 66 leaders card is one of my favorites, think Allen has a real shot at getting in. Finally you know I love the 58 Aaron, that is such a great card, I would pay $54 for a 58 Aaron all-day everyday!
Hey, Steve -- As soon as I saw only a two-digit sticker on the Witt, I had to at least take a look at it. Yes, the Human Highlight Reel, I forgot that was Wilkins' nickname! Glad I finally got that Aaron in a "good enough for me" quality and price. The Aaron was listed at 60, the leaders card at 10, and I got 10% off, so 54 and 9 for 63. I was confusing myself while I was talking!
Awesome my friend 🎉
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Much better than most of these reveal videos.
Nice returns, grats on adding the DiMaggio. I got my first one this year too
Great return John! You did very well. Congratulations on the beautiful 51 Berk Ross Joe D. Beautiful card my friend!
@@EverydayCardCollector-Jason Thanks, Jason! Super happy with this overall -- this was my last grading sub for the year, and it was a great way to wrap it up.
Congrats on the Joe DiMaggio! It’s a beauty in that sgc tux
@@thedetroitcollector Thanks, it really looks dapper.
Nice return, John! Love the Joe D!
@@RobCashCards Thanks, Rob -- I really appreciate it!
Some fun cards here that you shared John. That BR DiMaggio is nice! Really liked the ‘53 Cerv too! Always liked the background on that card. Sort of like Field of Dreams!
Thanks, Topher! I agree, the Cerv is really nice, and I'm happy for the grade, but it doesn't quite fit for me long term. Someone will pick up a pretty sweet '53 in a few months!
Fantastic reveal and grades John! Glad to see that Palmer RC get a 6, it is a beauty and if I remember correctly you got it at a great price. The 64 Koufax WS card you snagged for bargain hunters looks sweet in its new tux, that is a really cool card, think I need to add that one myself. The Grimm Goudy looks amazing and a 4.5 grade, congrats! That 53 Cerv is a stunning looking card, a 6 in a 53 card is a grade you don’t see often. Finally that Berk Ross Joe D , what a beauty live that card, congratulations my friend!
Thanks, Steve, glad you enjoyed it. It's nice not to wonder off and on about the Palmer at this point! Really happy with the Grimm result, and the DiMaggio, for this Yankee fan, was pretty special.
There’s a way worse looking DiMaggio in a SGC 1 on eBay and a 3 that I think yours looks better than. Nice cards.
Thanks. The 1 is a Probstein auction and it has writing on the front. I've been following it and am curious to see where it ends up.
Great reveal and congrats on the grades. I was bidding against you on that Joe D. You got a heck of a deal on that card.
Thanks -- I really appreciate it.
You have the Dimaggio Play Ball reprint for inspiration, don't you?
I certainly do!
Awesome my friend 🎉
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow, the DiMaggio was a great find! I still need one of his cards for my HOF collection. Wish I would have happened upon that one!
Thanks! I was pretty lucky to find it.
Love the Joe D! Thanks for sharing
It's a really great card!
The Berk Ross Dimaggio is very cool. Looks great in a tux too.
It really does!
Love the Koufax card!
The in-action shot makes it one of his best -- just my two cents!
Great cards and good grades John! The blue on that Grimm card POPS! Thanks for the show my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it. You're absolutely right -- that blue background seems to jump out even more in the SGC tux.
@jpcards fantastic
Some great cards John! My favorites have to be the three 68 cards those are all beauties and great bargains! That 75 Robinson is also a sweet card.
Nice VR I enjoyed it New subscriber 👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video, and I just subscribed to your channel as well.
@jpcards thanks 🙏
Thanks for the great VR and channel shout outs. Found a new channel! All the cards you showed are great, but those 68s are particularly awesome. Your Yankees got one last night. Tonights game should be interesting!
Thanks, Mark! Maybe I need to refocus and look for a few more '68s for less than $25. I've been picking up Five Star autos the last couple of weeks. Huge game tonight.
Great value for all of the cards you showed! I love the 68’s you got for 25 and under. Well done my friend!
Thanks, Jason! There are so many great vintage options out there at that price point, even already graded.
Those are some great cards John. You got a great deal on the ‘68 Rose. Those corners are crisp. Here’s hoping the Yanks can stay alive tonight.
Thanks, Topher. Turns out I had actually talked with and bought from the dealer at a show in my town back in the spring, and he gave me a nice deal on the Rose and another card at The National. So, some luck there. The Yanks need a lot more than luck, that's for sure.
Well done 👍 🎉
Cool Santo card
Hey buddy, thanks a lot for the shout out - really appreciated. Great selection of cards too. I especially love the '68s.
Thanks, Bob -- glad you enjoyed the video!
Yeah that’s a really nice cycle back
Thanks for the shout out! I appreciate the support.
That’s a nice Nolan and other cards! Great deals!
Thanks so much. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
You showed some really nice cards. Love the Richardson signature. That '68 Gibson is, I think, a somewhat underrated card of his. I love that it comes from his 68 season. It was also on a Turn Back the Clock card in the 80's, so I learned of Gibson through that one. ~Allon
The Turn Back the Clocks were pretty cool. Although they didn't show past cards, I also really liked the Super Veterans of '83 Topps -- an underrated subset.
Amazing magazines and cards, John! I love the old advertisements!
Same! There's something special about vintage items, or period items, like these. For me, being able to thumb through the actual pages makes the time feel not as long ago. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed!
Nice tribute to Fernando and some very cool items. Thanks for sharing. World Series should be exciting (I think you know who I’m rooting for!)
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and yes, it should be a great World Series!
Hey John, like you I was really saddened to hear about Fernando's passing! He was huge in 1981 and was a great ambassador for the game, RIP Fernando. The World Series should be a good one, think the two best teams are playing. Your Yankees vs. my Dodgers we should put a little wager on this one, maybe loser buys lunch next time we go looking for cards?
I like that idea - let's do it! I'm hopeful that either way, baseball wins. And there should be a nice pregame moment for Fernando before either Game 1 or 2.
