My brother and I must've pulled at least a dozen of those Hank Aaron HR King cards from packs back in 1974. It seemed like one of every 10 cards was that one, although I'm sure that was not actually the case. Too funny to see such common cards sitting inside of slabs these days!
Thanks for having me on Graig. It was a lot of fun and hopefully your viewers got some new insight into what’s going on inside Graig’s mind. See you in CLE in just over 2 weeks!!
Congratulations on batting 500!! Great idea Graig on introducing other RUclipsrs to the community!! Amazing format to learn more about you and other channels!! Always enjoy your awesome channel!!
What a great conversation between two dudes that love cards! Those Aaron’s are absolutely beautiful. Home Run derby repeats in the 80’s definitely had a place for a lot of us vintage collectors in our 40’s… Awesome stuff Matt, I’ll have to check out more on your RUclips channel! Graig short winded as ever… 15 seconds left, wow!
Don't worry about the length of the video..the longer the better in my opinion...I'm 60yrs old..on disability and had to sell my massive collection few yrs ago due to financial problems..now, with my budget, I can only buy 1 or 2 cards, for around $150 per month..it hurts to know the cards I had..especially my near mint mantle red heart..don't know if I'll ever be able to acquire one of that condition again...I just started up again about 2-3, months ago...and watching your channel has helped me gain interest again in the hobby...and as far as people not caring about the value of their cards, in my opinion, just aren't being totaly honest..anytime someone spends money on a collectable I'm almost 100% positive they would like for the card/investment, to at least hold its value or a better scenario of gaining value..it's just natural...keep up the great content..apreciate your time..
Great interview! Matt is a stand-up guy, been a fan of his channel and collection since the early days. Way to go knocking this out in 4:45! Keep this up and you might even be able to average out our 4-5 minute overage time. You answered correctly with Nintendo over Sega, also. Very enjoyable listen and watch, gents!
Congrats on evening up your record, Graig! Matt’s my boy and is always great to see him collab. Hope you can make it over to the house Wednesday or any other time!
Really enjoyed the episode with Matt! His collection is so cool, and I was pleasantly surprised to know he agrees with me on milestone numbers in terms of HOF-worthiness!! LOVE IT Cracking Cooperstown even got a shout-out, almost! :)
Good job on this one, 2 for 4, not a bad day. Enjoyed getting to know one of my National roomies a little better. He has good taste in cards, which I already knew.
Great conversation. I really enjoy Matt's collecting friendship with me. He keeps me posted on "oddball" Eddie Mathews items as he is searching for Aaron and Spahn. Again, great conversation and I'll see you both in Cleveland
“All of the haters out there…” finish that sentence!! Hahahaha you did it! Great great great work, Matt and Graig! I admire Matt’s collection, his approach to collecting and the way he involves his son. Matt does it all right!! I loved listening to this, guys.
This was an absolute blast. 100% this series is my favorite. Matt is the nicest dude on the planet and I cant wait to hang out with him and his family again at the national 👊🤙🤙
If you go above your time for the next episode you, would still be batting 400! Hasn't happened since Ted Williams over 80 years ago. That's great company to be in. Matt, is a good guy, but my favorite moment was saying your Dad, has watched back the videos, he appeared in. I love that!!
I wasnt counting but i didnt think you were gonna make it. Congrats on the comeback. A year ago you ranked football RC's from 65 to 79. Would you consider doing 35 to 64? Doesnt need to be a ranking, just a list. I tried to make a list myself but only came up with 17. Maybe for a preseason episode in august. Thanks
That's a good question. A lot of channels do lists, so I've shied away from them. For me, a lot of it is about the vintage players for football. Baugh, Graham, Sayers, Brown, Unitas, Starr....those are many of the big ones...
Graig with the Fergie Jenkins drive-by. Fergie had more than double the career WAR of Baines, a Cy Young award, 5 top 3 finishes, and 3,000 strikeouts. I know what you mean though, maybe not an inner circle guy, but not a fringe guy like Baines haha.

In high grade it's very expensive.
@@MidLifeCards Yeah... we pretty much destroyed them all back in the day.

Thanks Ken. It’s so much fun getting to know others in the community on a deeper level.
Graig- I’m impressed ! You had 15 sec left ! Your getting how to play the Lightning around quite well with surprise questions.
I’m getting better!! Thanks Don!!
Great job guys! Matt did a great job with his questions!
I agree. He was awesome.

Glad you enjoyed it
Graig and Matt, great job! See you both at the Big Show! 😊👊
Can't wait.
Great episode gentlemen!
Thanks my friend. I wish you were going to the National.
Great conversation. I really enjoy Matt's collecting friendship with me.
He keeps me posted on "oddball" Eddie Mathews items as he is searching for Aaron and Spahn.
Again, great conversation and I'll see you both in Cleveland
Looking forward to it!!
Great conversation with Matt. Awesome guy and great family. Thanks Graig for sharing his channel.
Totally agree, Orlando. Matt is a gem.
This was awesome. We got to meet Matt and Tyrus at last years National. Awesome channel and family. Thanks for sharing their channel.
Matt is a great guy. I was honored to have him on!!
“All of the haters out there…” finish that sentence!! Hahahaha you did it! Great great great work, Matt and Graig! I admire Matt’s collection, his approach to collecting and the way he involves his son. Matt does it all right!! I loved listening to this, guys.
Thanks Mook. Your comments are always the best.

Thanks Dylan. Agreed on Matt!!

Exactly my thoughts!!

It would basically, just be a list of the greatest QB's before the modern era.
Matt had too many either or questions! Gotta make it harder Matt! Matts a great guy and has a great collection, so happy you had him on!
I love how you guys root against me!!

I'm actually higher on Fergie than most. I think he deserves the HOF. He was really good for a really long time.
There is a Village Idiot bar in Detroit
I think that's the one!!
