Good... I'm NOT going completely insane! When you got to the George Washington bath tub at the start I thought that it was de ja vu... then when you were flicking through those Life magazines I thought I was going INSANE! A quick look at the pinned comments confirms my mind is in tact, even if my sanity is lacking! 😀
Being raised in and currently living in WV, I love that you received such warm hospitality from fellow West Virginian's. That hospitality represents who we are as a state.❤
Incredibly so fortunate to relive these memories with the family.Just by listening to them speaking so highly of the person he was, to whom they have become speaks volume of who he was to them and their upbringing definitely shows in the them al daughters and grandchildren. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten. You can tell that all of his collection is a memory of a time a place a moment that will live forever in those who shared the journey with him. WOW what a fantastic collection of so many wonderful items, yet every item has a story to be told and shared. Thank you for sharing and love these videos & content. From Perth Western Australia.
Awesome video i remember when i was young got a 57 Topps Ernie Banks for $1.00 but i was grounded from collecting and this guy in Wonder Lake Illinois had it all Babe Jackie Lou and Mantles for cheap...I still kick myself in the ass till this day that was 1988 now it is 2024
Crazy rewatching this video because after watching the 1st one I stopped at Berkeley Springs with my family on a family road trip and had such a great time. It’s a little gem up in WV on our way to Ohio! Haha so that’s for giving some attention to that town and it’s fun to explore. This is one of the best episodes for sure, true collector and you honored his life and family very well! Thanks again y’all!
I don't think I could ever part ways with my cards.. I was a 90s kid so most is junk wax but I loved it so much. I don't really have anything special but collecting them reminds me of where I was for some of my cards. Like a lot of people I started back in the past 3 years and sold my first card 1 year ago and it was hard to do even though it was a newer card. What a great collection and a great gift to give his family.
I'll be honest. Just sitting in that room with the wall paneling, vintage pictures, signs, tv, furniture etc. just makes it feel like your hanging out with John himself. So much nostalgia.
He said if we consign, "we'll sell the bigger cards to dealers". Why would they sell to dealers, they'll pay the bare minimum. You would get more from collectors on ebay. What a weird comment to make.
When I saw 56 minutes I was by so long. But at the 50 min mark I was really sad it wasn’t another 50 min. You guys appear to be some of the most genuine guys out there.
I’d love the excitement of seeing something like this for the first time and the feeling you get before diving in. So awesome to have that experience. Then I’m sure the over stimulation kicks in 🤣 Then reality sets in for you to realize you are never going through all of that LOL
Hope the family receives all the benefits of the hard work of their grandfather. Looking forward to see the grades and the sale info. Very well done, super impressive. Good luck selling all these.
Should start a streaming service on whatnot and basically 24/7 stream like KK sportscards does. Think that would be great for you guys cause definitely have the inventory to do non stop $1 start auctions and majority of the time I've noticed they sell close to comps. Keep the big big cards but all those "bulk" still worth more that $1 is the best route cause will move super quick 1k plus cards a day sold.
I keep my collection to Chicago Cubs only. One of the first purchases I made was a 19th century cabinet card/photo of a baseball team having a picnic after a game, a really cool piece that was not Cubs related. After buying that I said this is a rabbit hole I cant afford to go down and have kept it Cubs from then on. This guy collected pre Ebay, Kudos to him for some amazing finds.
Come back to West By God Virginia... and I might Unload some to ya. ??? and I saw this and I was about to share to our local WV group and say how WE LET $HIT LIKE THIS SLIP THROUGH?? haha but this is a Re Run.... You can come here and make some new content.... but im also like the guy who had the collection... Im not into saling much id rather work while I Stihl Can... but I've been thinking what could I do with a Lump Sum ??? but man be hard to let go... im Stihl Buying Everyday too..😅😅😅😅
All my sons collections were stolen on move from east to west had 18crates of cards full as we know we were robbed still missing including wrestling figurines morefamily history book land of the lakes book of our history😮
To say that you have to look at all cards as PSA 1 is utterly ridiculous, some of those higher end cards, just by merely seeing them you can tell they're higher grades. The Mantle "dads cookies", just because it's stapled, it doesn't automatically make it a PSA 1, that's just nonsense!
I remember Mike saying his favorite player ever was Lou Gehrig. How the hell can your favorite player be someone you never even saw play. That’s like saying you miss a relative who died before you were born, like you wish you got to meet them and stuff like that but you literally can’t actually miss them, you never even met them
Id be curious as to what his response is, but what does watching your favorite player play have anything to do with them being a favorite? The story of baseball cant be told without Lou Gehrig (dont even have to crack a book, you can watch a movie) Do you acknowledge that you have relatives that passed before you were born, or do they not exist if you never met them? (Im guessing if you had a relative you never met might have an amazing story)
You should stop chatting about how much work it's gonna take you when you are gonna make. 150k. On that collection. Yes it's work but you will be greatly rewarded for something you enjoy doing. I get u gotta down play it to get it in your hands.
this video was just posted… its like fall time weahter in the video… currrent time is june massive heat…. I dont like a video posted just recent of OLD video….. I stopped watching very early in it knowing it was not recent… thumbs DOWN...
If you're going to post a comment like this, at least have the courage to explain why you feel that way. If they are willing to consign the collection, I dont see how that is taking advantage of anybody. It really does take a lot of time to sleeve up and send those submissions. We are talking about thousands of cards. The owner already knows beforehand the value of some of the collection, so how are they taking advantage of them?? If a buyer were looking to flip this collection quickly they might try to low ball, but if you watch other CC videos you will quickly learn these guys do it right.
@chasingcardboard sometimes you just gotta look past these types of comments. We know what you do and love and respect your videos. Keep posting and unlocking the treasures you find. Much love.
This is a remastered episode from 2022. We combined two episodes and tightened up the edit for a new experience. Brand new episode coming in July!
LOVE this! ❤️🇺🇸
I was just thinking I seen that episode before until I just seen your comment. I love your videos. Good luck treasure hunting.

THIS has to BE your best vid you've EVER done....and yes, I'm a harsh critic..... Really, really, really well done. Impressive gents...impressive.

This is an episode I am glad I spent the time to watch again. Thanks for doing this again. It wowed me again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is probably my favorite episode ever! Thank you for sharing this story!

American Pickers needs to hit this house up with all the toys/advertising/random gems in that basement!

So true! Thanks for watching!
RIP Willie. Beautiful find 👍🏻
Awesome story once again!!! ❤
Always great to see a 51 Willie Mays, he was one of the GOATS!
Great episode!

What a humbling experience that must have been. Great show. Great people. ❤
Great episode Ty and Mike! Love your content! Keep up the great work!
I loved it. Geart work, love the stories, keep up the good work.. Best of luck in your collecting and selling journey.
Absolutely incredible story and great episode
WOW! Love what you guys are doing! Make Sports Cards Great Again!
That's the plan!
He said if we consign, "we'll sell the bigger cards to dealers". Why would they sell to dealers, they'll pay the bare minimum. You would get more from collectors on ebay. What a weird comment to make.
Wow half way thru the vid and my jaw is dropping!
Watched it love it.
Nice! We’re in Northern Virginia (Fairfax). Went to that card shop in Winchester last year while there for a baseball tourney.
Can’t wait for an update video of what the big hitters graded at, this looks super fun and I’m sure the family appreciates your help
Love the content guys. You put together tv show worthy videos.
I may be biased but this is still my favorite episode.
Definitely a top 5 episode. Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
GOD BLESS TY AND MIKE

Very awesome to see a collection that had more than just value in it. John was a true collector 🤘🏻
No doubt!
This is a rerun but love this episode
I’d love the excitement of seeing something like this for the first time and the feeling you get before diving in. So awesome to have that experience. Then I’m sure the over stimulation kicks in 🤣 Then reality sets in for you to realize you are never going through all of that LOL
Would love to see grading results on the stuff you guys submit. Would be a nice bow to top things off. ❤❤
Awesome and fair for both sides , i would of said other wise if i had thought , 52 years of collecting here and still collecting !!
Thanks for watching!
Hope the family receives all the benefits of the hard work of their grandfather. Looking forward to see the grades and the sale info. Very well done, super impressive. Good luck selling all these.

your start to make people jealous with this cards. do which is better, this video or the 1 mike did with chris.
Ty I have a lot of respect for what you’re doing for the hobby but you can really tell that you have been fed from a silver spoon your whole life .
What year were the dad's cookies cards? I only ask because they put out a set of hockey cards in 1969-70
1959, if memory serves me correctly.
Is there an update on this?
We’re talking about that.

She's British and loves the late Queen!
I'm American, but want to get it for her!!!!😊
Look on ebay
Is this a repost? Thought I’ve seen this before
seems like the wrong video was uploaded. thumbnail is diff
I thought I saw this before.
Yes you probably did. We grown a lot since then, so we thought lets combine the two episodes into one!
@@CHASINGCARDBOARD Always the best.
Do you have a video with grade reveal?
Of which cards? If your referring to the Mantle, yes we do. It’s in our library.
Come back to West By God Virginia... and I might Unload some to ya. ??? and I saw this and I was about to share to our local WV group and say how WE LET $HIT LIKE THIS SLIP THROUGH?? haha but this is a Re Run....

American pickers need to go to that house…
Yes they do
Just saying …..
To say that you have to look at all cards as PSA 1 is utterly ridiculous, some of those higher end cards, just by merely seeing them you can tell they're higher grades. The Mantle "dads cookies", just because it's stapled, it doesn't automatically make it a PSA 1, that's just nonsense!
Actually it does and did. There were surfaces issues. Can’t see that on video. And most staple or holes in cards drastically reduce the grade.
👇 REAL COLLECTORS PRESS.
I don’t know kind of gives me an uneasy feeling
This collection is literally full of value. This the type of collection that you sell yourself after doing research, lazy work lazy paycheck.
Don’t do this
Please don't ever wear the dalLOSS cowBUMS hoodie again. Thanks.
Haha noted

Mikes the guy that loves and lives for correcting people but the sec you correct him the he is pissed
Show the cards what’s the point if your not
Nice purchase on the MAYS rookie,since he just passed, that should bump up in value on all his cards.
