The back of the card is the soul of the card...I couldn't agree more. I have always loved the stories, trivia and the stats. Awesome stories! Congrats on your new grandbaby. Grandpa is going to have some cool cards to share with him.
@@Whaler87 absolutely, the back is important! Lol. Thank you for the kind words. I can’t wait to love on my new buddy for many years to come. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@stuke1976 thank you!! I honestly didn’t know that fact about him. Very cool! I left the part out about how he was a world class shooter of guns. He was actually a freakishly smart guy that was good any many different things.
@@PreWarGalore 😂😂You are probably right! You never know what I might say! Haha. That’s part of the charm I guess. Thank you for watching and commenting. That means so much to me
@@markstein1916 thank you Mark! Watch the video about that ball and the story behind it. The story and provenance is what makes it extremely special. It “called” to me unlike any other item in my PC
Great stuff, my friend! Congrats to your family on the beautiful addition! Absolutely agree, I enjoy collecting Bender and similar HOF players that fly a little under the radar. Very well done!
Another great video, love the history you're giving us on these players. Their stories are timeless and presentations like this keep them alive. Thanks and look forwar to the next video.
@@robstarsports thank you so much!! The stories and the histories of the players are the backbone of the hobby. Without those the cards would have no soul! I really appreciate you watching and commenting
Wow, great story, info, autographs and cards...and of course, the new addition to your family. You've got a great channel and I hope to see many more videos in the future.
@@mikethesportshistorycollec1947 thank you Mike for the praise! Great way to start off my morning. I will try to get one video out per week. I’m looking forward to what I have planned for next week. Check out some of my past videos as well. Thanks again!
@@jlbaseballcards thank you so much!! I love the history side of baseball and collecting those players that interest me in that way. I am so appreciative of you taking time to watch it and comment!!
Fantastic video. Huge Bender collector here! That book is the reason I became a Charles A. Bender fan too. Congrats on the 1/1 family addition, as well. :)
@@shawhin thank you very much! I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Charles is a very interesting figure in the history of the game. I’m glad we both “discovered” him
@@KevinKauffman-fz8gd welcome Kevin!!! Thank you so much for coming on board! Graig is a great guy. I am just trying to spread my love of baseball history and cards to anyone who will watch. Haha. It’s fun to share your love with others. It makes community. Graig is the master of creating community. His knowledge base is incredible. To have him give me a shoutout is huge. I’m blessed to have him as a true friend. This community of collectors has given me some good friendships. His is at the top of the list
@@RL3sports you are more than welcome! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I basically do a google search of “original photo image used for Chief Bender’s Cracker Jack card”. After I find it, I just save it to my phone photos. Then download it to my local Walgreens. They have it done almost immediately. So, I guess these are Type 10 photos. Haha. It is just a good way for me to show them in my videos because of the way I show my cards on camera. They are actually pretty cool and could be framed for a card room
Thanks for showing the cool photos upon which the cards were based. The way you are handling them, I assume those photos are actually copies of the original Type 1s. Is that right?
@@markstein1916 hey Mark. Thank you for the nice words. I think I mentioned it in the video. I apologize if I didn’t. Those are prints I did on my phone and sent to Walgreens to be picked up. So, I guess they would be considered Type 1,000 🤪😂 I just google the original image photos and do a screen shot on my phone to be printed. It is an inexpensive way for me to showcase the images beside the card. I like that better than trying to do a superimposed image on the screen that I cannot handle and point out certain details. I am glad you enjoy that aspect. I do as well. I started doing that a while back with my prewar collection and sharing them on my Instagram page. It has been interesting to me how many people comment on this certain aspect of my videos, saying they too enjoy it. I will continue to do so. There is no way in the world I could afford those in a Type I or II image. Those card image prices are out of this world. Watch my Ty Cobb Video as well to see the images for those cards in my collection. Thank you for watching and caring enough to reach out with that question.
