Mangini…Caponetto here from the beautiful Pacific NW. Great video! This is why you received my vote as Hobby President! Pairing marked cards that once lived in a kids home from the 1930’s and imagining that person admiring the cards and its journey to arrive in your hands is the heart and soul of the hobby. Now, if you take that another step and actually locate the original owners and create a video of you handing over the cards I’ll make sure they build a statue of you in Cooperstown. Speaking of which, Hack Wilson was my grandfathers favorite player growing up on the mean streets of Chicago in the 30’s. He was illiterate and probably used to sign his last name with a “K”….Hmmmmm! 🤔😜. Thanks for caring and sharing…t
It's really a cool thing to know that some of your cards were in someone else's collection at one time. All cards are on a journey and make only a brief stop in to our collections. Treat them well for the next collector.
Hello General. I have several marked/stamped cards, mostly prewar, but none that match. I'm sure I have a few in my T206s, but if I remember correctly it was a JB and stamped, not written. I'll check for you, Mr. President.
I still dig your thinking hobby Pres! Fun video! Never thought about this part of the hobby. Normally this happens in stamp collecting which I do as well
It sure would be. The original owners are probably long gone. But I hope if they can look down they would know their beloved cards are in good hands and will hopefully be in a museum some day.
That’s amazing!! That seems like you are trying to find a needle in a haystack with that quest! Good luck and keep us posted if you have any other success
John, that is extra special and, I suppose, nearly impossible to accomplish! 🤯🤯🤯Congrats, my collecting brother! 😊👊P.S. I wonder if any collectors have tried to retrieve the cards they marked from their childhood that are now out in the wild?! 🤯🤯🤯
Man! What are the chances. I would love to know the provenance of the “K”and how long it took them to be reunited. If cards could talk. Thanks for sharing
Nice acquisition! There a lot of cards floating around my area with a guy from Illinois' stamp on the back. I have 1 Exhibit card with his stamp, name is Bowles.
@@MrJmangini I've had multiples of his stamped cards in the past. A dealer that bought Mr Bowles collection had many for sale at his table at a couple shows here.
#1 What era(s) was this a thing? I’ve never even heard of this before (which isn’t saying much) #2 how did you find a matching card? That’s like finding two needles in two different haystacks that are separated by thousands of miles. Did you see it on eBay? Incredible stuff John. It is very cool.
Thanks for sharing, John. Two special cards for sure.
That's awesome John! Thanks for sharing.
Two awesome Batter Ups, one fantastic connection. What a cool quest to undertake. Thanks for sharing, John
Very cool....thanks for sharing!
Thanks
These are super cool, John! There are some super cool stamps out there, too!

Hmmmmm
Reunited and it feels soooooo good. Congrats John.
Yes!

Exactly
Love this! Reunited and it feels so good! Congrats, John!
Now that song is stuck in my head.
Oh man that's so cool! Reuniting the siblings! Congrats! Beautiful cards!
Thanks Jim!
That is so wonderful! I’m glad that you got to reunite two of your cards. It’s even better that one of them was a hack Wilson card.
Thanks
Hobby presidents should do everything in their power to reunite vintage cards. A good platform to run on. Thx for sharing.
Right!
Man, that is awesome! I never knew about this, so I appreciate the video. Thanks, John!
Hi John. Those cards are pretty cool, thanks for sharing my friend. Talk soon pal.
Thanks for always coming back to watch.
My 53 Paige is signed by some kid on the back. It's one of my favorite cards. I can imagine that in 1953 it was special to some little boy.
Yes
Awesome stuff, really love the stamped backs
Congratulations. Great video and like the ideal of stampbacks.
Thanks
Very cool accomplishments, congrats John.
Thanks
This is fantastic John! Very cool.
Thanks

I didn’t realize that.
Glorious John !!! So freaking cool
Thanks Dylan
Truly outstanding! Most folks won't understand or get it I fear
Nope. Most folks only care about what numbers are on their cards.
Cool video. Cool cards with a cool story. Wilson and Greenberg. Two of my favorite players from the past.
Mine too. Thanks
Congratulations on the reuniting of the cards. I think stamp backs on prewar cards are also cool.
I would expect nothing less from you.
It would be fascinating to know the path those cards traveled over the years before they ended up in your collection.
It sure would be. The original owners are probably long gone. But I hope if they can look down they would know their beloved cards are in good hands and will hopefully be in a museum some day.
That’s amazing!! That seems like you are trying to find a needle in a haystack with that quest! Good luck and keep us posted if you have any other success
I certainly will! The chase is all the fun.
That is incredible! Reunited and it feels so good
Yes it does!
That is so cool!

Awesome to reunite them!
Gave a video like. That's really fun hunting for cards like that.
Yes it is!
Love me some stamp backs. Fun doing the research on them
Have you matched any?
Man! What are the chances. I would love to know the provenance of the “K”and how long it took them to be reunited. If cards could talk. Thanks for sharing
John, feel free to send me those A&G cards and I will reunite them with Albert here in NYC.
Do you have one???
@@MrJmangini Yes, but not a baseball player. I have McLaughlin the wrestler.
@@DansVintageBaseballPC so cool

Incredible stuff John. It is very cool.
It started way back. I’ve seen a website that tracked all the different stamps on the T206 cards.
