Sure maybe some breaker or high roller will take interest but it’s an attention attractor.

    There were some amazing cards there, but it also shows how much some people hoard/corner the market on certain ones. That's why the rest of us can't ever get some of them haha. Newer cards are nice and all, but for me the older vintage cards are *THE* investment to make. Much more scarce and there's just so much history. The cards just have, for lack of a better word, souls. When I see those cards it makes me think of walking into my LCS as a kid and looking at all the stuff in the display counters. And it's great to see you taking the kids there and letting them experience that. Baseball cards are so Americana. Great memories to be had at a place like that.

    Sorry to hear your quest for a Mantle did not go as planned but, at least you got an excellent buy on the entire set of 51. The main thing is you enjoyed the nationals and, had your family with you. I usually do similar walks through these shows and, never expect to get what I'm looking for. It usually turns out better than having my sights set on any cards, I normally don't buy cases from shows that are unopened even authentic can prove disappointing because you don't really know if they were unsearched, the rack packs always work out better for me. I found some really great cards in rack pack because they are normally in better shape: maybe because they have that plastic over them. When I buy rack packs, I never buy any that are slightly bends in any pack or if the cards look like they move too much because you take a chance on getting bent corners. The cases may seem safer because the cardboard protects the cards better but,......? We all know you take a chance. I thank you for the video, good luck on finding or your quest for your Mantle, here it's 2024 and, I beleive your quest still continues????
