    Love the concept of collecting pinhole cards. The original owner loved the player so much he wanted to display it on a regular basis. Condition was not a priority in those days but to have it displayed was. Always makes me smile. Great job Mook!

      Coach, you summed it up perfectly! I’m so glad you appreciate the spirit. Thank you for your kind words!

    The "pinhole parallels" at the beginning were all fantastic Mookie, and for a moment you had me fooled that maybe you had the ultra-rare "dartboard parallel" on that Gibson 🤣 I learned so much in this episode about Larry Doby, just fantastic. How amazing is that that the fans and community paid off the guy's home? You had me grinning ear to ear throughout this entire installment, pal. Just an AMAZING autograph to top it all off. A+ as usual!

    Wow, not at all a dubious auto, but rather an absolutely glorious Doby-ous auto! PLUS, Mookie Wall of Fame worthy! 🤯🤯🤯 The postcard with dated postal stamp from 1955, as well as hand written name and address just really add to the historical and nostalgic appeal! Congrats, my collecting brother! Also, so cool Graig "brokered" your Hodges RC purchase! PLUS PLUS, a bonus Hodges RC for the Mookie Wall of Fame! 🤯🤯🤯

    Agree on the Gibson. It was well loved and not a dart board card, for sure.

    Great backstory on the Larry Doby photo. I had seen it before but didn’t know what was happening. One of my closest friends is from Paterson and his cousin is the mayor, Andre Sayegh, who helped get Hinchcliffe Stadium renovated and is also a Mets fan. My friend is not a baseball fan but we’ve talked about Hinchcliffe Stadium and about Larry Doby making his pro debut there. Best conversation I’ve had with him 😄 but it’s pretty cool that his cousin is as big a fan of Doby as the then mayor in the photo. Great video, Mookie

    • @mookiechillson
      @mookiechillson  6 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve actually met the Mayor before! He is a HUGE Mets fan!! And that’s so cool about your friend! I’ve been to Hinchcliffe stadium a few times. It’s wild that it’s still there - the NJ jackals independent league team play there now. I know Paterson was hoping MLB would play a game there now that it’s been renovated, but I don’t know about that. Now you have to come shoot an episode up here, Hugo!!!

      @@mookiechillsonthat’s cool that you’ve met the mayor. I haven’t met him yet but I was supposed to officiate a wedding of one of his family members a few years ago that was canceled. I’m seeing my friend this week so I’m going to strike up a conversation about this again. I can’t wait to visit Hinchcliffe someday. I think it would be great for MLB to play a game there. Next week they’ll play at Rickwood so maybe they’ll continue the Field of Dreams games throughout the country.

    I love the Hodges rookie. The blue and red just pop. I had one once and ended up selling it up in a huge lot when I downsized my collection. It’s one of the few cards I wish I kept. Maybe one will be waiting for me in Cleveland.
    Great “in your face” cards for Theo too.

    I never thought I would run into someone that would be able to present a pinhole card as if it were a Michelangelo. You're in NY/NJ. Aren't you suppose to say "Theo commissioned a hobby whack?" Instead of a hobby hit... lol I enjoyed the Doby backstory. I had no idea he had played under a different name.
