  • Northern California has some outstanding vintage card shows, and the Fairfield Card Show if one of our very best. I saw rare Bazooka Cards of Clemente, a Gehrig Delong, a Bond Bread Yogi Berra, and loads of Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Ruth, and more. There were more T206, Goudey's, Tobacco Cards, and vintage cards than I've seen in a very long time. And to make things even more fun, my Dad and I setup as dealers, too!! This vlog shows you some of the best tables, dealers, and cards that I came across at this Summer's best Northern California card show. I did my best to provide dealer information in case you wanted to reach out to any of these dealers for any of the cards that you see throughout the video.

      Mooooookie! Thank you, I did have a better 2nd day. You are such a great part of the community with comments that are witty/interactive. I think a Mookie’s greatest hit should be on Graig radar for an upcoming video….. and just maybe a special guest! Hope you and everyone out there has a great 4th!

    I'm still waiting for my Dr. J and Joe Namath rookies to show up in the mail today. Mo's stuff is amazing! Fun show spending the day with Graig and picking up the Clemente. The picture of the Clemente doesn't do the card justice. It a killer and great addition to my collection.

    I wonder if you'll buy that Whitey rookie on Day 2. I have that card in PSA 3, but from the quick look I got, I think the 2.5 you were looking at might be its equal if not better. I'll email you mine. $400 seems about right for a 2.5 (my 3 cost $525 all in) and I bet you have a little negotiating room there. I would have liked to know what the dealer was asking for those Bazooka Clementes. Probably above my pay grade!

    • @MidLifeCards
      @MidLifeCards  3 месяца назад

      The Bazooka cards were going for $900 for the 60 and $2,500 for the 68. I ended up not buying the Whitey Ford, but I did buy a few cards. I'll show them on my June pickups video.

    Nice card your dad got. Did you buy anything ? It would be nice if you highlighted or mixed in more old football or boxing for us guys who do other than baseball. The Namath 6 was an awesome card. The 60 Jim Brown looked like a buy under 100. Was there any pre war football ? Thanks Graig, love the show videos

    The 1956 Topps cards have grown on me over the years. Clemente '56 is a gorgeous card. Great pick up for your dad. I was reading earlier a little about Cepeda's life. He had a tough life both before entering the MLB losing his dad, not knowing English, and after it, in his later years. Stroke...and abuse by his own daughter in-law. But he seemed like a nice guy that cared about kids.
    Graig, you were having so much fun at the show. You didn't even say anything negative about PSA. Hopefully, you will be able to get the interview. Can always put the rant video on private. ☺

    • @MidLifeCards
