Hey Rick! Glad to see that you are unaffected by the fires. I asked Terry and he told me as well. Wow, Charley Maxwell. I am familiar with mostly his 1963 and 1964 cards and didn't realize he had one in the 1952 set. And I didn't realize he was still with us until just recently. I like that 1957 card of his. Now, Tommy Brown, I was completely unaware of. Cool that he was the youngest player to hit a home run. And yes sadly, we also lost Bob Uecker. I like his '62 rookie card. It's great that Bobby Shantz is still with us. Enjoyed the other cards you showed. I would love to get the '53 Haddix. Again, glad you are safe.
Hey Gannon! I am all good out here, thankfully! Fires still going on. Charlie Maxwell was an interesting guy. I never heard about him until I saw the MLB story. I didn't even know I had his cards and then I saw I had a few. HAHAHA Tommy Brown I had heard of only cause every time an old Brooklyn player passed, I would google oldest living Dodger and it was always Tommy Brown. Amazing that Bobby Shantz is still around. I hear he can still tell stories. I think Ray from Philly met him in a video. Thanks for watching, Gannon. I appreciate it!
Hey Rick… Great to see you are doing well with all the fires going on down there. Can’t believe what I’m seeing on TV of the devastation. Thanks for sharing your cards. That 1913 Brooklyn national cards is very cool and I love the story about Papa Maxwell. Thanks, Rick.
Hi Todd! Thanks for your kind words. It's just crazy out here still. Papa Maxwell was an interesting player. Love the Fatima. Thanks again for watching, Todd.
Glad you are doing okay through the fires, Rick. I grew up in Pasadena and several people I know have been impacted. Praying for all of you. On the positive note, great share of your cards. Some real beauties. Love the stories! The Fatima card, wow!
Thank you, Rob! Yeah, I was in Pasadena last week and you can still smell the smoke. A lot of devastation up there. It's very sad. Thank you for watching my card video. I got lucky on the Fatima card!
Hey Rick, I am glad to hear you’re still okay. I wasn’t sure if the air quality was impacting you. I was happy to see the Rams win and will be pulling for them today. The hobby is a nice way to relax and break away from the stresses of the world. I find myself staring a my card cases occasionally when working at home just to decompress for a few minutes. It is a way to drift back to simpler times for a moment. I enjoyed this look into players you don’t hear from often. I wasn’t aware of Tommy Brown’s age. That is amazing to be able to hit major league pitching at such a young age. Love the 52 Shantz card. I still need to add a card of his and that may be the one. I didn’t realize you had the Uecker rookie. Collecting Dodgers team sets gets you some nice rookies. I always liked that Snider card. He always looked a little older due having gray hair early on but his hair is white on the 64. Fisk has some of the best cards. The 77 is my favorite but 74 is my second favorite. I like his 91 Topps too. Beautiful Kaline. I love the colors. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Hey Terry! I was in the burn area on Saturday. Still smells like smoke. It's just crazy out here. I was hoping the Rams would beat the Eagles, but just too many long plays their defense allowed. I think the Bills beat the Chiefs on Sunday. Tommy Brown must have been in the majors only cause of the war. 15 years old is just way too young to be in the MLB. The 1952 Shantz was a must for me because he won the MVP that year and the card was featured on the 1975 Topps MVP subset. The first 52 card I bought as a kid. I still love that card. The best rule I implemented when I built the Dodger team sets was saying if there is a Dodger on the card, I had to buy it. Because of that I bought league leaders, checklists, World Series, combo cards, rookie cards, etc... It meant buying extra cards but it just added to my collection at the time. When I first started building Dodger sets, I had no plans of rebuilding old sets or buying HOF graded cards so my attitude was this will allow me to add some great cards to my collection. Man, the 1977 Fisk. I forgot about that card! Another great card!! I think that's Willie Randolph sliding in. I need to look up 91. Thanks for checking on me, Terry and thanks for watching!
Hey buddy so good to see you on here again. I'm so glad your ok. I'm so ready for baseball. I'm a big reds fan. I'm 61 and grew up when the dodgers played the reds it was like playoff atmosphere. I knew the dodgers lineup like I did the reds. My favorite dodgers were Steve garvey and Ron cey the penguin. Those were some great games. I watched most baseball on a 12 inch black and white TV or my transistor radio lol. I'm from Ohio so go Buckeyes this Monday. Take care. Ken
Thanks so much for your kind words, Ken. Yes, the Reds and the Dodgers was quite the rivalry in the 70s. Oh how I hated that Joe Morgan and Pete Rose. HAHAHA! I did grow up to respect them. They were a great team. Do you still live never Cincy? I'd like to visit that baseball stadium someday. Ahhh an OSU fan. Good luck on Monday! It's going to be a great game! Have a great weekend!
I'm so glad you're safe! That was a national tragedy. El Paso has been the opposite of SoCal -- we actually had a little snow. (Schools and other institutions panicked and delayed their openings.) I've actually heard of Charley Maxwell, and I know about his Sunday legend. On the other hand, I learned a lot about Tommy Brown, especially that he was the youngest major leaguer to homer. So thanks for this new theme!
Hi Michael. I am good luckily. I feel awful for those who have lost so much. Fires still happening as I speak. How is your weather today? Still snowing? I had never heard of Charley Maxwell and then I didn't realize I had some of his cards in my collection, so it was nice learning about him. Tommy Brown, I only knew cause every time a Brooklyn player passed, I'd google oldest living Dodger and I'd always say "oh yeah, Tommy Brown." HAHA. Thanks for watching, Michael!
Rick, our snow was evanescent. For many days on end, it's been sunny, beautiful, but terribly cold (by El Paso standards). So I'm not complaining, knowing what so much of the country is going through.
Hey Rick Glad to hear you are doing well! Charley Maxwell being from Paw Paw is cool, our vacation home in South Haven Michigan is 20 minutes away from Paw Paw. There is a golf course near there I like to play with my daughters! I just read about Tommy Brown yesterday, great that you were able to share his story. Have a great weekemd
Thanks Steve! All good here. I didn't even know about the town of Paw Paw until I started reading about Charley Maxwelll. I thought it was a joke. I have to go check that area someday. I've been to Ohio and Illinois, but not Michigan. Tommy Brown was 97 and one of the last two players from the 40s still around. That is crazy. Thanks so much for watching!
Golden Stamps put out some memorable issues. Who knew they would rise so much in value? I had the Hall of Fame set but traded it away in the 1970s. And how many people remember Preacher Roe was with the Pirates? I sure forgot. By the way, Baseball Reference first lists the Dodgers as the official team nickname from 1911-1915, then resuming in 1932.
I got this Golden Stamps for cheap from some guy on Facebook. Crazy! I forgot Roe was on the Pirates. I think he also played for the Orioles his last year. I love Baseball Reference. I spend way too much time on there. hahahaha
I glad your safe. Thanks for the video 😊
Thank you, Bob and thank you for watching!
Rick- Glad to know you are doing ok. I am sorry to hear about all the heartbreak in CA. Stay safe and thank you for the video. Great stories.
Thanks so much for your kind words. Thanks for watching!

Sorry about the Rams, Rick. It got nerve racking at the end.
Sigh it was a tough loss. At least they went down fighting.
