Darren your collection is top shelf, my friend! Wow is all I can say, love every card in both videos! That Aaron RC has me drooling! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome collection. Love these videos to just admire the cards and collections but also for ideas re cards to try to add to my collection. The player runs I have are of Clemente and Munson - if I go for a third it will be Nolan. Congrats re assembling your collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks James! Clemente and Munson are great guys for player runs! Ryan is a good one too, just lots of cards since me played for so long! Glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@returntocollecting I’m a big Nolan Ryan fan..have the same photo in your background on the wall of my card room. Also have a ball signed by Nolan and the seven catchers of his no-hitters - one of my favorite items in my collection. Be well.
Super Part 2 Darren. Fantastic cards all around. They look so good. I don't think Nolan Ryan ever had a bad looking card. The Koufax and Mantle cards were my favorites. Great looking Shoeless Joe card. The Jerry Koosman RC looks great. Thanks for sharing your amazing collection.
Nice. Very nice. I am envious. A friend and I busted boxes of 68 topps one summer when we were kids. No telling how many Ryan's we put our hands on. Nolan who? If I only had a time machine.
Thanks for the kind words! That's crazy! I assume thats why there are so few high quality versions of his rookie card. He wasn't viewed with much regard until he was an Angel. His rookie was almost considered a common in 1968. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hey Darren! I commented on the video from 2022. Yes, I enjoyed the 2023 edition even more! Some awesome pickups this past year! I might reach out soon. Like I said before, I’d love to discuss some things with you. Thanks!
Darren, what an epic Top 50 and outrageous Top 5! Oh man, too many great cards to comment on all of them! Congrats on a truly stunning 1949 Bowman Jackie! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 So cool to again see one of the best Nolan Ryan RCs on the planet! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Can never see that Joe D with cartoons too many times! And the Mays RC! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Amazing progress on your epic Top 50! Thank you for sharing with us! 🤠👊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Ryan is a great player to collect, since he has the most playing days cards! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Wowzers! And I haven’t used that term in years 😆 What a showcase, Darren. Not only the cards itself but the condition they’re in. Really impressive and really cool to see the Jackie for the first time in this.
Thanks Hugo! Glad you enjoyed, my friend! I was psyched to show the Jackie! That one has been on the list for a long time! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
KILLER KILLER KILLER CARDS! I sure like where you've gone with this collection - Just subed. Huge Ryan fan too. The "bloody" Ventura pic kinda sums up Ryan in a snapshot. If no one knew anything about him and saw that pic, "they'd get it." Btw-wrist-watch check?
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed, especially the Ryan stuff! He was the man! Such a talent. Guy went 27 seasons without a major injury (and that was back in the day when pitchers would pitch complete games on the regular)! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Grand slam presentation of a beautiful collection, Darren. You gave us an opportunity to see some cards that could be in the Smithsonian. Thanks for taking the time to prepare and share a great video. Well done.
Thank you! I agree, our collecting styles are similar based on what we showed in our countdowns. I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks Brian! I based them off of the VintageCardPrices.com value. Its too hard for me to pick my favorites, so I figured a more analytical approach made sense. I'm glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@returntocollecting Darren, I'm going to watch this video again with a friend of mine and we're both going to pick our top 10 favorites. Will be interesting to see how many we have the same.
Man what a top 100 cards! I love these top 100 videos of fellow collectors. I happened to watch Nolan Ryan no hit the A's in 1989 what a pitcher. Nolan and Reggie and a playing day Ruth are on my top to buy list.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Must have been awesome to see him pitch a no hitter! Good luck on the pick ups! Nolan and Reggie are great! Playing days ruth is tougher these days. I thought the Sanella Ruth was a great deal for a good looking playing days card that didn't break the bank. Hoping you pick up your goal cards! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Just finished both videos of top 100 , it was fantastic viewing! As an MJ collector I loved the Fleer RC @10 but the others were all just as awesome! Ya rarely see Ryan's slabbed in such great condition!
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed! I love the 86 Fleer Jordan! Its such an iconic card! I did my Ryan run in 2019, so I got preCovid prices on all of those. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Had you kept the slow-mo video, it would keep me from pausing the video multiple times to view the greatness. 😂. Seriously epic cards. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us Darren.
Thanks Doug! Glad you enjoyed! It was so annoying to have to start the whole countdown over, when I realized I recorded in slo mo... 😂. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Whoooo the Jackie Robinson for the win! What an amazing addition! Darren the whole countdown was off the charts! How does a Clemente psa 6, not make the top 10? Just shows how sick your collection is! As far as card prices around what % do you feel the cards are down this year from last? Always curious to hear about the vintage market.
Thanks Theo! I was super excited to get the Robinson! I noticed some fairly big price drops this year with some key vintage cards. I would say that on average, my vintage stuff is down about 10% this year. The 33 Gehrig seemed to have the biggest fall from grace this year. I appreciate you watching and commenting, my friend!
Wow Darren! Incredible top 50! Just fire card after fire card being shown! I guess we can be “Wagner throwing pose” buddies, lol. Excited to see where your collection heads in 2024!
Very nice sharing ❤❤❤

What a tremendous collection and depth you have. I really enjoyed this. Def something to be proud of!

Wow, pretty incredible collection! I'm jealous of, well all of them, but particularly the Ted Williams rookie.
Thanks Will! Glad you enjoyed the video! I was really happy to pick up the WIlliams rookie last year.
Amazing cards in great conditions!!!
