Did you watch Cardboard Treasures on MLB?

Cardboard Treasures was on the MLB channel tonight.

Did you watch it?

What did you think of it?

It was produced by Topps.

I thought it was basically a Topps Infomercial..lol...

They did show some great cards...collections...from the late 1800's to current cards.

I loved it. Thought it was a great piece. When it comes to baseball cards and history topps is in the forefront.
It made me want to go out and get some graded rookies of my child hood memories.
I went to an auction where Dimitri young was letting his signed baseballs go. That guy has some amazing pieces. Imagine running into him on ebay ... Yikes

I would have never thought that a player or ex-player would have a baseball card collection like Young did.....wow...amazing....some sweet cards and it's obvious he doesn't mind paying that extra dollar to get them.

I loved his custom case with the "DY" and everything.

Looks like psa and sgc kill beckett in grading vintage baseball and checking the prices on feebay a huge difference in pricing from 9 to 10. I expected it but just not as much

I might try and grabs some 9's not sure 10's would be beneficial to me but that show lit a fire for some of the 80's stars I use to have

I loved the beginning where they showed the baseball cards hooked on spokes of the bike, going round and round....lol....I remember those days.

My favorite part of the show was when we actually got to see the 1909-11 Honus Wagner that is referred to as the Gretzky/McNall Honus Wagner. Looked like it was just taken out of the pack. Talk about perfection!

[wheeler281]

Yeah I had not ever seen it compared to others. That Wagner was just unbelievable

[ranbethscards]

Just watched the rerun of the program......

OMG!!!!!!! Did you see the way the "grader" was mishandling the cards?

I would think they would have had white gloves on.....the way he was holding the cards oil from his fingers are getting all over the card....shame shame shame!

I watched it.

Loved seeing the old time vintage stuff. And to see how they make GU stuff as well.

And the story about dumping the 52 topps in the bay was unreal. Imagine if you had all of those cards? You would be a billionaire! Or a 100,000aire!
