Congratulations on your two year anniversary Billy!! You have a fantastic channel and have done so much to help grow the card community!! Love your new logo!! Thanks for sharing your top 25 cards!! You have a remarkable collection!! Keep up the great content!!
Congrats on your 2 year anniversary on YT. You have an awesome card collection. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I enjoy your “ramblin” on cards.
Congratulations on your 2-year You Tube anniversary Billy! You have one of the best card collecting channels on the entire platform! I always appreciate your sincerity and humbleness you express in your videos - I look forward to all of them! You have a fantastic collection - your ‘54 Aaron rookie, ‘55 Bowman Aaron, ‘56 Mays, and ‘60 Mantle are my favorites that you have! I’m slowly working on a Hank Aaron run currently - I have the base cards from ‘65, ‘67, ‘69, ‘70, ‘71, ‘72, and ‘74 so far. Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle are my other two favorite vintage players. Take care and keep the fantastic videos coming!
@southern7002x Wow, thanks a lot, Brian! That means a lot to me! There are some amazing channels on here, and I pale in comparison to most! I love Hank Aaron and was thinking about working on his player run the other day, but I think I'll hold off for a bit. I have too many projects! Happy collecting, my friend, and thanks for the kind words!
I agree. It's your collection and be proud of it. There will always be some one with a better collection. I've had to learn to be content and happy with what I have been blessed with. Love your 54 Aaron. I have a hard time believing that there are many 2's that present better than that one. I have a 3.5 SGC Aaron and your eye appeal is better than mine. Great collection Billy.
@brucevandyke7510 Much appreciated, Bruce! I'm blessed as well! Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm not going to say there isn't a nicer 2 than this one out of the, but I sure haven't seen one!🤣🤣
Congrats on 2 years Bill. I’ve enjoyed watching you from your humble beginnings to your RUclips stardom. You served as a huge inspiration for me to start my own channel and I am very glad to call you a friend. Here’s to many more years of collecting and friendship. Oh yeah, that collection of yours ain’t half bad either.
Congratulations my friend. Beautiful top 25 and the Aaron is one I could look at all the time. Actually, they all are as you have a fantastic collection. Congratulations again sir. Best Dude in the cardmunity.
So happy for you on 2 years my friend. That is awesome! Fantastic run of cards, it’s so cool to see how your collection has involved over the last year. You are killing it my friend and that makes me so happy!
Amazing cards Billy! Congrats on your two year anniversary and what a way to celebrate it. You have a top 25 that is fantastic. And I love how the Super Mario snuck in there. I was not expecting to see that! lol Your channel is amazing and I can only hope that my channel evolves the way your has and that the connections that I make, and am making, hold similar to your story. Thanks for the help, friendship, videos, and cards.
Hi Billy. First of all, Congrats to two years. You`re 100% correct about this community, it is the best, and so are YOU. You close knitted friends of Missouri, are also the best, just a great bunch of dudes. Your top 25 is amazing, all bangers for sure. I will centre out one of them and that is the Aaron rookie. Man oh man is that card spectacular. It actually looks better every time I see it. I`m so happy to see how much your channel and cards have grown over the past year. I would love to see you in Strongsville, but I get commitments. I love the new Billy Ballgame backdrop, looks awesome. Thanks for sharing my friend. Talk soon pal.
Much appreciated, Stephen! I am definitely lucky to be part of such an awesome youtube community and to have such a great local group of cards collecting friends! You know I'm over the moon to have that card! Much appreciated as always, my friend!
Bill! You have a great channel and I’m happy to be in this community with you. Congrats on 2 years on RUclips! Also, awesome top 25. I knew what number one was gonna be! Take care and have a fantastic weekend, my friend!
Congrats on two years and a great top 25. Been great to get to know you through this medium. Have fun finishing up the 1960 set and continuing your build your awesome collection and channel. Have a great weekend!
Great Top 25 video Bill! The star card remains your 54 Topps Aaron Rookie! Between Coop and Tom you have made some great acquisitions. Those guys really know how to pick up some great eye appeal cards at very reasonable prices! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Rick! I'm happy I was able to buy it with you! That's a moment I will never forget! I intended to mention it in the video, but I had so many thoughts running through my head that there were several I didn't cover! It would have been an hour long video!🤣🤣 I appreciate you, my friend!
Congrats on your 2 years. Look forward to the next 2 years for you. Great cards really love that Aaron RC what great example and I would of been on a high for 4 or 5 days also. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on 2 years of You Tube Billy. Also pretty cool to see the Mario Lemieux RC sneak into your Top 25. The Hank Aaron sharing was classic when you got it at the National. Your 1060 Mickey Mantle is super clean! Looks nice All nice cards and thanks for sharing with us. Hope you have a great weekend.
Congratulations on two years Bill! Your channel is must must-watch in my book! Fantastic top 25 countdown, some really amazing cards! You know how much I love your Aaron RC, that is my #1 goal for this year! That 62 Yaz is sick, what an amazing-looking card! congrats again, looking forward to year three!
Much appreciated, Steve! Your channel is must watch in book also! Much appreciated, my friend! We're gonna have to get together sometime! You and Jason could make a short road trip and come down for a show!
@vintageonvintage817 It'd be awesome! If you want too I could get a hold of Jason and see if we can put something together! Feel free to get my number from him if you ever want to talk!
Fantastic video, Billy! WOW that Aaron rookie is AMAZING! CRAZY eye-appeal for a 2! It presents like a 7! We could do a collaboration sometime and talk about 90s Griffey cards or something! 😂
I'm going to flap MY gums for a bit. But the paragraphs are bite-sized, to make it easier to get through. The centering on that Ozzie is unbelievable. In fact the centering on your Top 25 is generally exceptional. Cards this nice will just get scarcer and scarcer in the market, because they're being hoarded. Some days eBay looks like it's where poorly centered cards go to die. That was quite spike and plunge for Scherzer! I doubt I could have resisted selling at $700 and rebuying later. I sold my Rickey rookie PSA 8 at the recent peak near $400 and hope to buy it back eventually for about $200. The cool thing about the '62 Yaz is there are three bat handles but only two bat barrels. Optical illusion? That '68 Mantle / Mays / Killebrew is almost my favorite multi card. The only one post-war I like better is '66 Aaron / Mays / Clemente. Talk about star power on one card! I thought my own PSA 2 Aaron rookie was great for the grade, but the centering and corners on yours are better. You don't have anything to lose by sending him in his tux to SGC for review, with a minimum requested grade of 2. Definitely I would not crack him out and risk a 1.5 because of that crease or wrinkle and "waviness." As a stat head I must tell you the gum-flapping lasted 12:35 🤣 Not a flapping record by any means. I have seen RUclipsrs, not just in our hobby, flap for half an hour before getting to the point in the title and thumbnail. Attention spans and YT storage space are not infinite! Clearly you are a SGC fan. Do you ever cross PSA to SGC, and with success? Do you ever buy a card in an old SGC holder and get it reholdered in the modern tuxedo? Do you find VCP is worth $18 per month? Is it more useful than Market Movers or Card Ladder?
🤣🤣 It's funny you mentioned that about the Scherzer. I actually offered to sell it back to the owner of the shop at a card show. He chuckled and said I could go ahead and keep it! He knew it was going to go back down, too! I haven't crossed anything over from PSA to SGC at this point. I have a 60 Robin Roberts that I cracked out of a PSA that I'll send to SGC at some point. I think it's at least a 5. Thanks for the kind d words about my Aaron. I'm super beyond amazed that I have one period. I'm over the moon I was able to find a 2 that nice! I'll probably just leave him as he is. I'm happy with it in a 2. No biggie. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@godisgreat8462 Much appreciated!
Congrats on 2 years. The 1979 Ozzie is so hard get centered. I need to get a Catfish RC one of these days. Hank Aaron RC is another I need to target.
Much appreciated, Rob!
@@billyballgamesportscards I have been called a lot of things in my life, but not Rob. lol
@CleanCheapShots My bad, Drew! I was responding to a bunch of comments! I must have mixed some up! Sorry about that!
@@billyballgamesportscards Just bustin' your ...
@CleanCheapShots As you should!
I'm going to flap MY gums for a bit. But the paragraphs are bite-sized, to make it easier to get through.
The centering on that Ozzie is unbelievable. In fact the centering on your Top 25 is generally exceptional. Cards this nice will just get scarcer and scarcer in the market, because they're being hoarded. Some days eBay looks like it's where poorly centered cards go to die.
That was quite spike and plunge for Scherzer! I doubt I could have resisted selling at $700 and rebuying later. I sold my Rickey rookie PSA 8 at the recent peak near $400 and hope to buy it back eventually for about $200.
The cool thing about the '62 Yaz is there are three bat handles but only two bat barrels. Optical illusion?
That '68 Mantle / Mays / Killebrew is almost my favorite multi card. The only one post-war I like better is '66 Aaron / Mays / Clemente. Talk about star power on one card!
