    Mike talks about Andre Reed and buyer's remorse

    jake scott found at 12:28

    discovered pretty early on in the process of collecting MVPs. Is that Jake Scott . Who was the MVP of Super Bowl 74. Miami he is not an especially. -- difficult signature. I was told the beginning that he was he didn't do very many shows but guess there's there's. And a thought that he isn't as much around the Miami reunions in the does 72 Dalton. Type stuff that -- out there that he may be more difficult on that front but it seems to -- Jake Scott . Does plenty of shows. And that's all you need for -- these retired guys. Is for them to do card shows and then. Their autographs obviously with that are out there another possible misconception. Is that the old guys are tougher. I was asked recently about my collection and and I was asked will you seem to have all the old guys but not so much newer guys and that's that's exactly right. The newer guys who were still playing the Manning's Brady Aaron Rodgers . These guys don't to as many shows. And if if they do wedding. And done with that their autographs or tougher usually

    Hi everybody good morning it is Saturday January 14 I'm Mike show this is the hobby on WGR. I'm glad to have some baseball news two to play away. Here don't mean this this hour a insure anybody. Here up top knows. This exists so I'm pretty sure I could contrive a baseball topic by cared to and I might have when it gets cold. And across past you know the beloved bowl season. I get I get ready I'm ready for baseball February 19 for pitchers and catchers met you collar the producer of the show lined up. A professional baseball pitcher for today's show and a car collector a guy Matt knows about through a mutual friend. His name is Ryan to going pitches for Syracuse in the Washington organization. And the way I'm told is what I'm told is that he is a collector and also is someone that. Likes to try to get other people into it and that's all I that was one of the reasons for doing this a few years ago was to hopefully. And convince people that I know and mostly people but I don't just happen to be the station that collecting is still very much alive and and well. It's different than it used to be and I've. You know I think I've illustrated that almost every week through a phone call or some other thing. That I've been here since I labor day of 2008. Was our first our first show of the hobby but one thing I saw this week that was really exciting and also baffling to me. And I I'd encourage anybody who. Is in the collecting all the I don't most of our callers are are not people who. Are avid collectors now it's it may be half as around with that but people who collected along time ago wanna know what to do with things either way I would love to talk to. From people might it might have noticed this and have an opinion about it I'd be very curious to hear what you have to say. If if you track sales of cards. And you happen to track sales of the Michael Jordan. 1986. We your rookie one of the biggest cards. Of last. I don't know forty years mean certainly one of the biggest if not the biggest of the 1980s Jordan rookie. In a grade of PSA eight which common sense scale of one to 108 close to but not quite That card has sold for around 600 dollars. And I I looked up sales of this card that sold on eBay and auctions. And I happen to actually I bought two but I didn't mean to buy two which is. Happened and I sold one quickly away so say I've bought one of these cards either way it was around 600 dollars that I spent. And is something that I had thought about buying for a long time and I've I've had just sold some things I had the money needed to play with. And I bought the Jordan Carter and felt good about it all the other people like I've talked to the collect like the idea that card and why why wouldn't you. As an investment I mean it's an iconic. Sports card from the eighties and what I've noticed in the last. Two or three weeks. Is that sales of that card have shot up. It's all about 45%. In a month. And that's not just because one or two cards sold for 700 or slower 800 dollars but about a dozen of them. Mostly if not all of them on eBay. And that is a big jump for a card that I don't know it's a big card but why would that happen now. Any ideas I I don't really know are are the Charlotte Bobcats good or something. I'm kidding me that doesn't even matter. Com. What are these PSA eight Jordan sold for 999 dollars that's about a 625 dollar card that shot up like that. In in like no time at all. So. I I see something like this aren't eager to mention it because. The hobby. It's kinda like I don't need this it's like buffalo though and certain ways you know it it's a lot of a lot of a lot about the past. And how it used to be and with with collecting. As. Sure a lot of you know. Up until the mid eighties. Well in the mid eighties in the late eighties mass production started. And everybody got wind of the the notion that you could get rich through baseball cards and in turn started buying them. So pretty much by 19911992. Everybody had everything. And what happens in you know what happens in the economy to it is something. Like that it just the the bottom falls out and that's what we know that's what explains. A very simple level why. Cards from those years are all but worthless not all of the Marta got an example for you today as well. Of what kinds of cards aren't which I think might Tom be useful to many of but. We know that late eighties or early ninety's you know you've got almost nothing there. But prior to that there's still a lot of lot of money and a lot certainly. And a lot of fun to have and I think this card which is not an old card for this 1986. For a jump like that that I myself really can't explain. I'd love to tell you about it because what it what it. Also says among other things may be about Jordan or whatever. That collecting is still alive and well. And and people are throwing money like that at at at a card like this. And what what I also has happened from from this surge in the sales of Mac card is that now. You see people who do pay close attention to what things are selling for. You know dealers probably that have this card immediately go listing them on eBay for 800. Or 850 or 900 dollars because they've noticed that discard a shot up and I think that obviously they think that you'll you'll jump on that but you never knew your smarter than that. And I would think come they'll just end up sitting these cars sitting on eBay like a lot of stuff does. Without without being sold. 8030550. Is the phone number if you have a comment on that everything else related to collecting the Michael Jordan rookie has taken a big jump. A friend of mine told me that the Gretzky rookie also has I haven't noticed that and I didn't see that. And on a website that I used it to track prices I didn't see a jump in the in the Gretzky but maybe it happened a little bit earlier. Maybe you've noticed that yourself the Gretzky rookie is is a hole in my collection for sure I've never had a really nice one. Tops peachy peachy is a much bigger card than the tops card if ever. You become upon somebody who's got both. Audio PG cart is is much more words that. Lines are open for if you wanna chat I have a guest as mentioned coming up in the middle to show for a natural mention the time but. That the pitcher right to telescope beyond in the in the second segment today at around 83825. Every thirty. I I alluded to. A card from the dark days of collecting the the early ninety's that Tom has some value in this might be interesting to you. Because many many people. You have have these collections these big amounts of cards from those years and they always wanna know what to do with them. And I give them the quick bad news which is. It is very little value in it and you you probably. And you probably could do well to donate them or give them to have a youngster who might like that really not a lot of money to be made. One. Exception to that is if you have a rookie card of hall of Famer that's perfect. Bad grammar all famers and perfect the hardest. If if you have a perfect. Example. Of hall of Famer 1989199091. You know those years. You still have you have a little bit of money there now here's the trick though. To to considerate perfect. You probably need the degrade on it which means sending in a card that otherwise. You know might be worth fifty cents if that. You know spending five to ten dollars on getting a grade for that and then hoping that you get a ten. And you end up turning that into I don't know thirty boxer so the example and thinking of which I should have told you first. Is a pro set football card of John It might be 1990 I don't even know which right around there. And this John rainbow card was selling on eBay. The auction was over and I sought for 47 dollars in PSA ten. Now those pros sent cards are everywhere. But the the tough part with a great in mind is that the corners are colored. They're not port in the corners I'm sorry the borders the edges. They're not white. Bordered cards and white border cards are going to be in better condition generally. Then ones with you know that are different colors because the the caller can chip. So you have orange and purple on these different colors of those pro stick cars getting a PSA ten is no sure thing. Because of this this chipping the can happen and of course always other factors like corners and and so on so this John card was selling pretty well now what do you do if you've got a lot of these cards from those years I don't know maybe you seldom. To somebody who wants to take that chance for you and you know the they get the rewards in that case. But. That I just wanted to pass along that there is the potential. That certain cards from those years. Will do well and you know there are going to be hall of famers in in those years Brett Favre is from. From those years and I think maybe what does it action packed or some. That's and sharp what's the Favre. Rookie and who my asking what they're they're all kinds of different variations in my mind disputes modeled by all of them but you've got. And that and Randall McDaniel is another one. Marshall fall. It is another one of these guys are all from those years in the role in the football in their baseball guys to. And you know if you find those cards in great. Perfect condition than you might have something otherwise you know you you still don't unfortunately. Paul has called an and is on WGR Paul. I don't today. Yeah I got a brother mine east large collector I kinda got into it over the last few years what have. Happen here it always is my brother goal and searching grabbed and dub I think. Keep it not a ball thirty Michael Jordan. You know rookie. Cards and like that industry artificially inflate to. Also guided sit not a bunch of bombs those other people that are not a bunch of them keep Michael by its lack three like you said 950. Dollars. It artificially inflate itself. The next thing you know the industry standard that night. So it's really just a few people manipulating at all. Not being in the stock market interest and yeah I guess that makes sense. I hadn't thought that there were people with them much to be able to do that but if it's if it's ten or twelve Jordan's these are all being traded among the same people you're suggesting. Or like it'll play a vibrant I've 1516. And I got a chance that you grabbed three more those. And you know I mean all the nice goal and 3950 am talking to a dealer down in Denver. He should not oblige all the side we've manipulated the market. The sixteen that I had a fifteen and I had previous combined might lack streak at an artificially inflated inflated price. I'm get you know I'm getting the goods on fifteen an ready. makes cents or races in your brother has about thirty of them. Dirty regret that bad. Yet. The thing right and don't do I don't put the Wayne Gretzky rookie card to might spoke to when I was when abdicated on my fight I wish I didn't. Yeah I guess. Yeah I think the thing about that Jordan sat Paul is that it's those that your recent set. There's plenty of it out there but you know a lot of people didn't take basketball cards seriously at the time they did the or years were they weren't made. And so I think I think with that that the leaders that a lot of it's hidden in a few people's hands. Fluid you know that may actually think it occurred. Just just one more point this is gonna sound really trade your listeners but my Brothers already starting to grab cricket cards. From Pakistan and you see emerging populations come and into North America. From Pakistan from India. You watch it's gonna sound absurd but in one year cricket cards will be huge big and I like it you have you know thinking thinking about that the distribution among the population ethnically. did are you to thank you Paul. Soccer cricket. Well that is that's a long term vision right there I I think the Jordan point he makes you might be right. Don't just assume it's right it's not my nature to do that but I think makes sense. And I have not figured out any other better explanation for there there are there are enough people who have. Enough of those cards. That can the and they can make that kind of difference. In the prices. Interest in our 8030550. Is the number that's. To some places up for the time being is an explanation for that. Last night after the hockey game. I was just flipping around figure to be awake for another little while so I as I often do I go right to MLB network what are they doing. And at 10 o'clock last night for another half an hour was one of there twenty greatest games shows Bob Costas to number Gucci they're on them. And it was about the Kirk Gibson game. Dodgers and days and Gibson was the only guest player who was on and he was you know just. He was somewhere else like maybe with Diamondbacks or something they were interviewing him electronically. And playing. You know the ninth inning of that game talking to give senate caught a just right just the right time. Talking to him that he was talking about his day you know he woke up that morning in 1988. How we felt bad how bad he felt physically. How sure he was he wouldn't play you know Sat in the clubhouse through that game game one of the 88 World Series Dodgers a news. Listening to Vin Scully and NBC. Repeatedly say how Gibson was on available that night and Gibson. Said Howard started to burn him he is started to get mad listening to that and even though he knew he was in no shape to do it physically. He started to get warm up to the idea. Of of getting in the in the game pinch hitting at some point. So he was talking about that and Gibson I was never as a kid a Gibson fan but. Men now listening to him talk and him and tell that that story that day. He could not agree with what I like about sports any more than he does it was it was great. Watching him relive that day and he said something that. After I thought about it I I decided it was my favorite tree in an athlete. They're showing. Gibson home to bat. For that in 1988 and he's talking about. The experience. And he says that you know a lot of people ask me if I was nervous or just what I was feeling at this moment walking up to the plate. That night and and Gibson went on to say I was nervous I was so excited there's just nothing better. Then being in this this spot it's what you live for. We also thinking like what what does the guy say who did feel that way but struck out. In in that kind of a situation and how it later in life he comes to think about the the pressure of all that I wonder if it would be different but I. I shouldn't even said that that's not that's not my point the focus is on. What Gibson set about pressure he just said there's no there's no being nervous. This is what this is why you do it. There's this clip I think about NFL films from a long time ago ourselves and this is why we run all those laps. And I just I just loved it I think one thing about athletes that just is so. Awesome. Is how they in pressure like that respond to when they respond to a well and I think. For me and all I AM and I think a lot of fans are the same way this is something that sets them apart from us because. Most of us would get really nervous and not be able to function as highly as we need to. But athletes who don't and look at it that way I think that's beautiful I think that the it's it's one of the few common traits maybe not it's a common trait that the greats have. Is that they they love the pressure I think they really do I don't think it's phony I think you know they they have a it on attitude about it and Gibson. Came across that way to me and I just I just loved him for it. I decided that's my single favorite tree in an athlete is to hear that that kind of things said. And by the way his on his since this is his rookie cars are super cheap not a hall of Famer Bob what a great place in baseball history he has. 1981. Tops with a little hats. There's a Gibson cards get a jacket on the tigers and super cheap caution offering. All right. Ryan to telescope coming up a pitcher for the Washington Nationals and their organization. Was with Syracuse. Last year AAA card collector will talk to him all talked about a few things. What it's like to be a collector and a ball player at the same time they'll be plenty of time to for calls for your opinions or questions 8030550. Is the number I might show opened this is hobby on WGR. OK here is Ryan to telescope the morning Ryan nice to talk to you have my name's Mike show. Are good morning drab and you're welcome where were you these days I am. I am on the back end of it doesn't get out our driver and now Miami this in Indiana which arm problem right out side you know. We're just a sightseeing trip I know I'm my girlfriend parents live data is good so I'll while Iowa is kind of shut it down after planting a bomb and We're visiting her apparent now that I'm going to start ramping up my off season training or. During training arm and back to Indianapolis to train now with the pitching coach in America where where. Okay clear in the the nationals organization and just becoming. Familiar with you this week since Matthew got in touch with you about coming on here while Venezuela what was that like. It will a lot of fun you know it really. Prepared me you know middle and I can expect open this year I get a chance in the big you know it. And just. And you know extreme and there are so many people well it can mean weird aren't 2030000. People are you know on some night and cheering him into it there's trillion make between eight European soccer matches that. And a good college football rivalry and that was just. The band Mercury hit band were intent and the coaches the players you know. top notch I was able to play. Look such names you know are pretty good cockroach and brawn no I got. Henry go. And Carlos Gonzales so I mean you know Derek and there are a lot of big games down their Israeli and let. Very nice for you well of course the reason we're in touch with the used to talk about your collecting it says on Twitter for people who want to follow Ryan. Ryan to telescope of course would be that the handle there it says aspiring baseball card. Autograph collector how how did you what what what got you started. Congress started literally my dead you know it it was the thing that kinda bonded him and I totally I totally yeah you know Monty discussion or nearly 2% should say to Becky you know from Earth Day and of course immediately I would bet there are room in you know looked at baseball cards is that gone up and iron got about you know I baseball players and every. Every couple monsters so my dad let me Italian baseball show that would be around the be about it. Our guys I'm you know when I was younger we go to the card does look around we we couldn't afford it. Maybe I would try to bank and you know in and get to guard. Didn't have so I really. Really got into it and. I kind of stopped collecting. All college and. Does this year. Was very. Indeed indeed mean first Bowman cars so I kind of sparked my interest. What did it right away and and Cindy need gated me or how it very fortunate to deal autographs and baseball card though. You have really been able don't want them the cards and get out to my family and strand. Want to know mechanic got me back in the look like there's so to speak in credit running out of these cards like you know and not black Very nice trying to go with me here on the hobby on WGR. So what are some of your your best things are best autographs. On my best autograph. I think they have right now. Is to doubt today. World Series Jersey from the they gallery the Longoria the autocrat that got a World Series patch on it. It's. Authenticated PS DNA in it even got Adam Longoria has hologram on that I was able to work on that. Com through trade and I would give my best baseball card would be. A graded Nolan Ryan rookie card Nolan Ryan probably the one person and I collect. Just as he did. I love watching them play on TV and I was is the one purse I want to emulate whenever on the mound and though he was kind of a one card that I always try to collect it now that I collect it start ramp a little bit ease kind of the one that around. And try to come first a question back up again. That is a great card Ryan as you would know of course. Want out of his era he's to me he's the top guy for collectors mean Ryan. Obviously also had a great career needless to say but there's something extra about him he also pitched for so long so a lot. Lot of kids at different at different times along the way it would have been exposed and you know in a 22 year career something so maybe longer. So I'm really and that's the one painted I'm getting back into collecting been able to talk to some of these side and on super collectors just. Listening to you know their hundred people showed me pictures of their collection just being able. shared make new friends over you know just one player you know in kind of see what they have just talking about getting back in two in the being. Right how how well how good is your rookie card. Integrate. A good grade eight. Right now I'm you know it really good but it is currently the one that or depressed elaborate. We'll check back at an eight Ryan rookies very nice. Okay right to just go with me I'm Mike show opened this is the hobby on WGR. Ryan what kind of interest have you found that there is among baseball players in collecting. You know it kind of hit it in Ahmad. I'm not quite sure I know that. He checked. It probably super collector in the terms of you know the player world I think some people do extra actually with their own cards you know when they get released. You know sometimes the companies will give if you your own but obviously don't you go out autograph and or maybe that are the special hologram or things like that were more on the market as well you know looking because the card companies just don't. Kinda the promotional because that would take away you know from the around so we're on the market look at as well you know especially are aliens and com you know one sound usually. And outlooks or or things like that but. I think in terms just kind of collect and our players are really not quite sure but I know I know he's check is it he had that in the cart like. I've heard that too and also a couple of guys I've had on the show Dmitri Young with a famously great. Hall of fame rookie card collection. Why one of the best in existence Brad Ziegler from the days ago these on the really yeah Ziegler Diamondbacks may be. Arm he he's been on with me he is a big collector. Craig Rabach is another one although I think he might be out of baseball a player. So I'd like to find out about these guys that that are into it and of course you know. The access you have. Is so is so excellent here you are in the Washington organization what better. Organization would there be to be in for four you know if you're a collector right with Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Oh absolutely I mean you know there as soon as their cards are coming out there are being carved out by by people that they got out there. Tomorrow must you know I've played cards so bad and being able to watch them play on the field and also watching the value you know what their cars street. And what are your prospects this year Ryan you said you're open to make the big club. you know obviously that every cut every baseball player stream are much you're in the year and AAA. Eric New York with an affiliate and I'm very fortunate that the national that I did and they'll like that it kind of work on things and situations so. I think in the I'm I'm partly gonna start again as Eric Houston. Oakley at the scene and go to the I want I hope that you know the national TV champ and The nationals look better than ever right. You know what they're they're just getting better you know hopefully that. We can work got to deal copper Prince Fielder at being you know bring in that lineup would be. You know incredible and just bolster really strong. irritation and I think you know with the addition amount GO Gonzales starting look at national. You know there at that rotation going to be deadly you know and that they're able to that big bat that they wanted. and actually going to be a team to be reckoned. And I agree with that Orion maybe if if you're and you're going to be in Syracuse are spending more time there meet we will meet it's about two hours from here. And of course lots of games with buffalo and Rochester that the Syracuse. Plays every hour. And relish that not just about military is trying to plan now. On the I've enjoyed meeting you volley on Twitter hopefully my listeners will too and good luck this year. Appreciate their grammar or you're welcome to Tesco Washington. Nationals and I just abruptly cut them off without meaning to who was looking for the hold button and I hit the seal later but there sorry about that. I should apologize that was abrupt not on the air but you know behind the scenes here. very interesting baseball trade last night. Love it for the Yankees. The Yankees traded. Jesus Montero big catching prospect who did spend some time with them last year and did all right. To the Mariners for Michael Pineda there was more to the deal but neither is just I mean fears this guy right handed pitcher what do great pickup for the Yankees. I I won't I'm not on the inside when it's on the giving anything you can't get anywhere else by a lot of people. Love this trade for the Yankees to needed just huge upside for a four for him. And Montero was you know a good prospect but not like a sure thing in most minds any thoughts on this Matthew. Well the biggest thing is Montero is that he can't catch so he was probably gonna end up being DH. Which the Yankees don't really need one they have a couple players who need that DH spot give Jeter days off giving Iran days off. And they really need to fix up the rotation the sky 67260. Amazing first half. Right second half he fell off a little bit but that happens with some young pitchers when they. Throw Major League sells huge talent. Yeah yeah I think I think overall. You're getting back something better than you giving away there because there's no guarantee if if Montero becomes a catcher. And he can hit thirty home runs that's big value but he's a first baseman DH you can find those all over the place guys thirty home run. Very sneaky good move by Cashman just an NC north saw coming. A great trade for the yanks. All right some final thoughts here including one on some typing on eBay coming up call me feel like 8030550. I'm show and this is the hobby on WGR. Ryan to telescope Washington Nationals organization pitcher against him for being on. Double things I wanna get to in the last few minutes but feel free to erupts and supersede me because I'm always. I always want that eagle 30550. Is the phone number beyond this is the hobby on WGR every Saturday morning from eight to nine. Today run to the NFL playoffs start starts rather. And both teams will be on WB yen as we have the sabres tonight at the islanders pre game it's six. Saints at niners. Near record high temperatures for San Francisco on this possible mid sixties. And there's whether there are also perfect day the game tonight that I had a chance to go to I talked a little bit about it. Broncos patriots of looking at wind chills in the single digits little bit like our weather or a lot like it. Tonight for a new England and then pretty warm tomorrow the Green Bay game decent for the Baltimore game to you know mid thirties but. Nothing wacky that I read would be would be happening there. I got some last night. It's not as jargon that is losing. In in a bidding war on eBay at the last second. I've talked about my. Collecting Super Bowl MVP signed mini helmets and the right Aaron Rodgers helmet. Was sitting their last night in would be expensive. I decided with. Five seconds to go to bid eighty dollars above the leading and I got beat. I got the bid in Bristol got beat snipes are hard to. Hard to deal with. And I guess that means I should. Be one of those guys that you know you you set. A bid to go automatically right before the auction is over those are different programs you can use for that. And I don't know like maybe that's not why I lost like I did the same thing always I was watching the auction. But it's frustrating to lose that way you don't know that people are sitting by their computers bidding at the last second like you are and if you're like me feel like you know. Your superior to those people who just set a program to do their dirty work for them I was didn't like losing that Rogers it was a 200 dollar helmet a big ticket item and it had the inscription on it had the JS a certificate. I'm I'm I'm very particular about these not gonna. You know by any fakes. And I thought I had that I was bummed out here is bill on WG RI bill. out when I was younger I used you know collect cards and collect them you know every year or not put him in a shoe box and I'd like I have before choice. You know my house my little brother would always get and myself. But over the course of the years you know you're not collect them and put them up there and and I got older you know you did you really care about collecting cards anymore and I just you know let them up there and course and I want it to the army and went stationed in Korea you know about how truthful because. Home. And and just being given thought it really didn't care so that it at all anymore sibling you know. Get my card and probably up hit fairly well before choice in the attic. Yeah I was just wondering that they'd be where They sure. I'm in Korea we're talking you know these these are about a half century old these cards. There probably aren't they are very collect probably what they when we could walk up to the store and you know they won't like a nickel package and like so that checklist that check everything off tonight rubber band of not put them in. You know like old shoe boxes vitamin a poor choice so that my brother couldn't find them like a just forgot probably 62 through. Probably 68. On yeah that's that's a can be big money. if there in rubber bands. They know there are probably there's probably some damage. Older definitely damage confirming we we're always going to rule on trade numbers hold my friend because we are welcome we all had our favorite teams. let me say that and the derby there probably be some money and it if there's big money. The condition would be that the the key factor there. Like all they're not in good condition they wouldn't be worked very much them. It would be worth less but just how much less really it's it's just totally about what kind of shape the rim and yeah it's proportional so what are we get into this house. I don't know but the the request of the kind of wait for it to go up for sale but you know. For the flip rhetoric around the corner from it you might still visit it'll be old neighbors. From time to time and early mentioned that anybody else. This of this of this is puzzle a puzzle are here and whether another and it's it's it's it's definitely not your property anymore. Exactly know that the legally they're not the president not mine because you know obviously they. They're part of politics though. But if you knew with the people who live there. And you said to them look I I think there's something valuable in there that I I know where it is and you don't let's make a deal. Think about it that. What do you think about that. While maybe I'll just try that. I'll tell you all all all tell you where this is and show you how to get that it and will split the it will split the cause or the profits 5050. Maybe some like work let's interstate and let me know this plays out bill okay. All right thank you. Thought that's out what do think about that meant you better approach. I don't think he's in back. Known. I think it would be really weird if someone came to me and said hey there's Mike crap in your house from a 4050 years ago and I. Paul your floorboards and I dig in there and you know but it's just it's an alluring prospect these things sitting in there and wondering if they're still there and how much they might be worth super cool. That guy wants to write me so I can follow along in the store be thinking about them like what exact what I wanna do in that situation what would you what would you do it's a good one. Well I mean if the cut was picking up the potential cut then maybe it eleventh there the if it's my house and someone says that's a whole other matter. Minutes are what are you gonna pay for the damage. That's done that you'd pay for the repairs. Very interest in the to go lot of different ways that one. And only has Ricky bones cars. If he's got. Mean if he's got 62 in mint condition he's got big money no mint condition that's a but still there's potential there interest thing. I like that one I'll be asking my friends this weekend. What they would do in that situation hey Ryan gets left four assists last night don't get your hopes up. Have a great weekend I'm Mike show this is the hobby on WGR.

Card collecting you used to do it when you were a kid then you -- way to college and -- through all your cards a way I heard that one before twelve that was then and this is now -- collecting his big business now cards of your heroes that your mom -- are still out there and sometimes they -- six figures you can spend hundreds -- some new products and still make a profit how does it all -- these days welcome to dot hobby WG yards in new show created to keep collectors up to speed on the latest trends and let everyone else knows just how bad. Fast in the lucrative collecting still can be peers WG yards most avid collector Mike she'll.

If you aren't just leaving the house you may want a jacket.

I know I'm I'm telling you that I've been. I've been out of the house today coming into work and it was chilly and now I'm. Feeling the urged to tell you is if like on your mom or something. It's about it's about fifty -- and it's mostly get warmer of course but you know. Right now. -- may be wanna jacket where there -- got football. You know were in season here we've got to the hockey season about to start basketball be next. Seems to happen just like this every year I don't know. I do. I do wanna talk about Adrian Peterson because this is what happens. To you when you fall in love you just wanna talk about the person all the time. And on my weekday show Monday through Friday here on WGR. A couple times this week I just brought up Peterson because of how spectacular runner he has -- I am not the world's biggest football fan but I can. I get into a growth rate player just like the next guy you know as easily as the next guy and and Peterson is that. In my -- and probably in yours I don't know I don't know how you'd. Really at this point not see greatness in them with that the career that he's off to so far in the season that he's off to. But as we talked about a couple times. One point Bulldog might week de ja partner here said is this about that card -- And I said damn well. Know me a little bit but it started with. While it's just it's start it would just make an observation about the guy watching him play I'm not a vikings fan and not the guy who watches all the gains on Sundays. But you know seeing Peterson his -- it's undeniable. And you know I just wanted to bring him up. But then -- I think it I think he has something to do what is going on here -- incident with the cards you've got here it could happen. I was. At the notice was from the -- last Saturday morning we were here last Saturday. Panic I had -- second from bases loaded in our friend Brian rattle off we're here together just kind of -- at a friend's roundtable but fortunately the show. Something went wrong with that the saving of the show -- I I don't have to put on the website that's why it's not there. So while I'm sorry about that and a lot of the lot of you like to listen to the old shows that one won't. Show up there I -- I waited too well I went to bases after the show and hung out there for awhile and then. Headed back to Grand Island third down in Cheektowaga headed back to grand out of my way home I thought. Adrian Peterson. I don't have anything of his and I mean I knew that David Adams had maybe still does but certainly had. An exclusive. Arrangement with -- I was just thinking about like what I wanna buy a helmet or a Jersey but those are going to be expensive what I wanna do here. And yes they're not really my style to just buy the autographed. Peace so I decided to hunt for Peterson. In -- carnage went into the shared in store to see if they had any kind of 2007 football products they had to they had ultimate. And they had finest and I opened some finest a couple of years ago a Topps product I was okay but on the ultimate was more exciting to me so I bought a box of 07.

Ultimate football it was 160. For this box and the last card it's it's sport you know ultimately it's for little pax 45 cards each pack. So you can buy the packs individually their wrapped in the -- forty bucks each. I bought -- box the last card I came to was eight heaters and -- the gold to 25. In the rookie books that I think 500 the gold box and a thousand and it immediately became the biggest party ever open so. Yeah it's a little bit about departure. I'll admit that I mean right. I dig the guy to elements running and all that all that stuff but it's a little bit about the card and now I am and the Adrian Peterson gold club. And I'm in the ball game as a collector of it is which is super exciting because he is the is the best guy go I think. You do agree with that disagree about about him like you know I don't I don't did you call -- call -- and so happy for you don't vote for that would just be really. Tough to listen to but you know. I I just -- I got lucky. With Peterson and -- are smarter. You know measures about IQ and -- about -- about discipline and and focus things I am terrible terribly lacking in areas I'm terribly lacking it. If I'm if I'm more disciplined about a just by -- Peterson. Card online -- buy I buy this card or lesser one problem and disk gold special rookie card just you know something. Adrian Peterson and online. But a socialist model I have to basically blow the ones sixty and you know I'm I'm more likely to end up some with some. Kick returner on Houston. And instead it ends up with this guy and Peterson you know that the people out there -- real knowledgeable about autographs or say how in in Adrian Peterson's case he started to shorten his autograph. I think I mentioned this on the show. Last year that he would when he came out of Oklahoma he has a real interest thing kind of long autograph. It looks -- scribble but at least he puts the working and you know he's he's. And on paper here. The staters are pretty low these days especially pro football players autographed by Peterson satisfies or did I guess he shortened his autograph -- sometime at some point. To just AD 28. The short for all day his nickname so. Now you just get if you get an injury Peterson autograph piece I'm told. You get -- Tony but this is super exciting for me maybe have kind of a similar story where. You worried. What they're telling them I was a little bit interest in Peterson now I am much more public and investor. I feel this is what card collecting can do this is we've talked the last few weeks about. About the hobby and what it what it means that people wise and more popular. 11 week we heard a comparison to fantasy football you know fantasy football is super popular. With with grownups. Finger quotes. And you know card collecting is really that different. It's spending money can be spending big money. And you're basically investing in players just like you do in fantasy and I I think that works and that makes sense. So now I am basically an investor in Peterson and if he gets hurt tomorrow. And doesn't play anymore. Whoops you know they're goes mine. There goes my golden ticket but if he goes to the Hall of Fame which I expect. If he runs for 2000 yards this year which I think is possible and John Clayton -- ESPN. Told me on Thursday on the air we had the conversation about Peterson he said I think it'll happen. 2000 yards this year's and I think it'll happen. Apparently a former teammate of Peterson said I think you'll run for 3000 yards. So anyway -- looking for a couple of stories like this of yours may be used just you bought a pack of cards one day and you got lucky with a certain guy. And boom now he's your paper players now. You are watching him closely and you feel like you or so -- sort of an investor in his career. 8030550. Is the phone number or 188. 552550. I might show you listening to the hobby here on WGR Sports Radio 550. And I will be here until 9 o'clock I've got a couple of topics -- talk about today another being. Selling cards and also some new products that I. I have learned a little bit about what I've read costs oak on from David Adams and I will thank him. For selling me a box not that he of course knew anything about it he was even there but the guy. I wasn't and that their Mike -- forget who was I quite don't remember who was but I don't know his name I admit. He -- picked out the box for Meehan. Their -- but we'll talk to read about about Peterson and about a couple other topics. IE. I just recently found out about an article in Sports Illustrated about the Griffey rookies the 89. Upper deck Griffey. The the headline in the article is the last iconic baseball card. And I've got some some few a few comments on that. Eight again I'm giving you the number. As I just I usually say once in a show maybe you've got a question for me about your stuff and I'm happy to take that but. Just because always in Tacoma launch you know -- really tell you what your things are worth. Because -- don't have them in front of me and you couldn't really give. You couldn't really expect someone to give you're an honest appraisals of your stuff. Without seeing it condition news is hugely important. Centering -- so many factors that go into it do the best job I can but -- can just buy a price -- check on eBay. For some completed sales and you get a better idea more specific idea. Of what you might have and its its value that I would probably give you. So why am I invite you to call me up. A dream Peterson and some other story like that you open a card and suddenly you began following the player may be EU decided to collect the player from that I cannot afford. To collect. Adrian Peterson like that I'm not gonna go out and buy the other Peterson rookies -- me just -- it will not happen but what I'm saying is. Collecting. Like I do just sort of dabbling in this product of that product. Doing that. Dot lead to a player. And that that might have happened for you whoever it might have been and I mean what -- kids. The cards are old distributed evenly. And you would get one cal Ripken -- one Dan Marino or. One George Brett. You know every once in awhile they would come up the same amount so wouldn't happen it it might not happen like that might have maybe you had a certain. Maybe you had a certain card. That got you into a player. Even if there was a long time ago I mean we can remember people who are avid collectors can't remember. Certain cards from. Back then in how they locked in the -- there was something about. A certain cards so usually it's the other way around that's -- I thought this might be inching to bring up -- if anybody wanted to join me in not having this conversation. Usually it's in the way around isn't it you you have an interest in a player. And if you're into collecting at all. You might go out and try to find some stuff of there's the cards or. Autographed pieces pictures. Whatever the case may be I really like this guy I'm gonna go out and collect them. But with with with Peterson with me it was it was the other way around so -- You know maybe got a story like that -- called me up if you do 8030515. Don't forget the jacket today. And 1888515. To 550 pat -- dollar and -- car assert that is a producing today and you the story a little bit like mine.

Similar I was getting back and hobby off four years ago and decided to go buy a box of all final six upper back hockey series two and came across eight Crosby and Corey Perry pressed play. About it that they're for different color plate I -- so much of that and I never saw one of those that for any player. I got the yellow one of of that and that drew me to thinking well there must be Saber ones out there are so. Now it did evolved from while this a cool car of Crosby and Perry to let's find -- once now that's what my collection is. Sort of -- from the 0507. Season. And get him. Brian Williams yup translates and how many do you think you have. Off fifteen all the different callers all worn ones -- all one -- ones are a couple black plates magenta. Saddam blue in in Yale law all across again.

So you didn't however. Start collecting Corey Perry are following him from that -- in -- is too expensive cell Crosby would be tougher now. Yeah good I mean that's that's how it happens for me. Find a certain kind of Carter certain player -- end up going in that direction for awhile if I find it interesting but this is really. Taking an interest in a particular player. Even though I had a little to begin -- it. From a car because it's such a big cartoon you know -- that Peterson so now it's like I'm watching watching his every move. I don't have -- in fantasy football I don't play fantasy football. And yet there was an there was an article on line on like Wednesday that he had a back injury and he's saying it's no big deal I went. Oh no we don't like Adrian Peterson has a sore back he's okay he says it's no big deal that's a break just like you would if you adamant fantasy team and you were. You know really in the fantasy football and me be cool little wacky. But -- little too little too crazy for some things alright let's bring Jim on the show -- Jim.

Good morning. Very good player at the box art like. Canada. Sixty. I think -- religiously. I'll calm and I'm now in my room now or -- or. Exit on it -- from my mother. All excited to go to network -- on cheap -- aug air. While. And are now -- conditioning -- I was -- the -- plastic in such. And they -- dry and cool. All other pretty good shape. I guess my question and in point when it on such trauma unit here. At a lot interest but now why interest -- is cool. I get my collection and I like -- character figured out what they're you know. In Europe but he compassion on mine near. Eagle I'll find out ample belly.

Well you can buy a price guide. Magazine. You know six -- rate box at a at a hobby store you can order those online too which you could walk into a hobby store in the area. And -- find -- Beckett football. Price -- and that. The the football they have one for -- sport now on the they also have one for all sports but discovers more current cards but in your case you -- Beckett football and you could go through. And see which you have and then. If you're -- if you have cards in outstanding condition. Corners entering if if your cards are an outstanding condition you might wanna consider getting them graded. Which is something that wasn't around to do when you were collecting his cards in the first place. And -- sent me an email if you want I can tell you some more about that I end up end up talking about grating like. From a call like this every week on the show so I don't say too much now -- I'd certainly be interest in helping you with the.

Yeah actually -- we're looking for it -- being delivered an entry blight and -- the -- itself. And now we we have for all.

1970. How far did they go back.

68. Okay good well you've got a nice collection there ought to know where.

The BB CX and there are not like it's that it -- start looking girl by the -- It and you know -- all of them. --

Go to eBay go to eBay type in some of the the big cards you have like the OJ rookie would be one it's about an eighty dollar card I thank. The -- from 69 degrees -- from 68 the rookies even go to eBay just type in those last names. In this in a search window or search. Whatever it's called the that little area where you type in which -- searching for. And may be a box. And then none. Find completed listings in the left hand column and click that and what you'll see is all the stuff if it's if it's -- You see everything -- got -- his name in the listing that sold in the past couple of weeks. And you'll notice some of those things will be his rookie card you -- type and even an RC which is a designation for rookie card. Just type in -- RC and see what they're selling for -- you can also compare the conditions of the cards that are on eBay with yours. And an -- that you can get real. Good information from from eBay and from a price guide about yourself.

Welcome back to the hobby I am might show Saturday morning September. 1. 26. Marie because -- joins me now from David Adams DA cart world dot com it's awesome FaceBook pictures of a big party. At. Your joint -- I was not invited to that school ever. I don't work there. That's why should I've been invited him it was stupid thing -- Well I I owe you an apology -- and I would call you yesterday with some conversation ideas for today and I did not do that. So are you opens just winging it with me here. Burger. I'm sure he'll do great you always do. Adrian Peterson -- I just pulled a big part of his ultimate. Rookie gold. At premier store. -- And I was just saying I it's it's a case where analogous is a guy that I obviously like most football fans would've thought was really good. And you know interesting enough I've never heard any. Bad words a bottom but now I feel like I'm invested in -- read it's it's a case of card hold. Turning me into a fan of a player in May be sort of a collector or investor to you can relate.

Yes well because we represent. Peterson. Or is that our. But you know several of our network and yeah you feel like you you know and what better he'll get connection and move toward Karbala that makes you think there are Americans it. They're open and does well there is carpet is the demand.

Any experience like that in in Europe collecting life read I know that it's usually case real like the player first. Your case dale Murphy and I was of Murphy fans who growing up and then you went and amassed a very significant an impressive. Dale Murphy collection -- that ever worked the other way around for you where you got the card that the item first and then took an interest in the person.

first time ever opened. It is six we're about school which. You know toward him. I was seventeen years ago. And -- twenty pack. And you know about it as the numbers -- What culprit and it was. But then he being so hard to pretty steep if you. -- oh but the -- Quote but I -- has. One. Point or were. They would also never called drop the pack. Opening it. But you're not -- George Bush I did although quite sure where we're. New director was. Certainly this card time though it yup. And you know the support of -- expert is here. In Portland pretty well determined. -- in the director. All of a career -- closely -- To support or -- elegant and closer. In this career still haven't. -- probably do. Here's pride all of them were personally -- the network.

If that is that is such a great set for that too and in just since you brought it up. Opening packs of that 867 -- basketball is really expensive if you find them. But you mean you're gonna get somebody I've opened to in my life and it's -- like in the last couple years. And I pulled the bird in one and in Irving in the other and had them both -- they came back PSA tens. And that allowed me to help basically recoup the money I spent on the packs but it was a I mean it was a that's a big gamble that take but you're gonna get them -- whether it's Jordan -- dom and he can mean so many rookies in there. It's it's hard I think it's it's hard to really bust on the house.

Not think what have Kuwait and powder. Which will make that part very of this effort and can -- them. From -- look in. Only a couple -- and there was nothing. It just because -- about it. -- open. North and I NG is clear that was the last they asked the players liked the fact that. He would not too close to. -- and doing right or quote.

Right well let's that's of this stuff collectors know. All right recounts -- from David Adams read I I wanted to mention even though it goes back a month here. An article in Sports Illustrated about the Griffey rookie are you aware of it. -- Are critical to -- this -- yesterday but the the article is titled the last iconic baseball card and all I'll say this first. The article doesn't really. Impressed me so much because I can't figure out exactly what it's about it starts with. Some of the story of the Griffey card the first upper deck card card number one in the 89 baseball set. Goes on to tell -- the the state of the hobby. Not favorably. And then eventually on to this original opera next door upper deck was a store because before it became a a manufacturing company. So that article takes me to different places and naturally what the point is. But there are some interesting. Little details to the to the Griffey card and baseball collectors will know this card it's it's a famous of the modern cars -- read what this is one of the how would you describe it the the biggest or most popular baseball card the last X number years or one of the biggest would you say.

If you had to pick a baseball cards. Collectors or even after collectors. Remember the governor mine. I would -- caller number two with a good cop now I think that most people never -- there -- your -- hard. I would I would agree that they can have the -- is part Beatles famously card out there.

Again I guess maybe would that we have a special category for cards like the Billy Ripken that you know cross over into pop culture. But the I get that why is it again I'll I'll stop here from the article and get away from it what why is it's so big.

Would either -- their first came out. This the first thing I remember there's a new -- can come up with the centerpiece of the not a dollar well you know memory and -- the very beginning hmm. They're you know fourteen of the conflict in the whales to prepare our prepare. -- Where they're coming out number look at there could be better. But remember historically close look at the glass senior and so is this. Here we -- open like get compact. And now. We are open and and he is nice crisp white card. All right in the back everyone. I'm tired of me. You know prescription card because. Of who he was than. I was kind of looking and with that he was card but one that everyone has to have their cars you know and you know his career. You're pretty much throughout leaving nine you know your heart failure throughout the -- It was just. A meteoric rise in use all the finger for about era. Our fingers so who will now here. You know all things were really about -- look at -- everything over him or her. A lot for a cool.

And is still had a great career anyway so as as this article plays out read. It -- done it really is I read it and I'm probably a little too sensitive about it but as I read it. It seemed to be making the case for how that the hobby of card collecting is dead already that. There are so many fewer stores this original upper -- or the guys that end up buying it doesn't sell cards at all and stopped about sixteen years ago. And it just it it does it give me anything about the state of the hobby now except to say basically that it's over. And you know we both know that that's not true but at same time upper deck and this is where like I'm gonna stop talking about this article. Upper deck is in a tough spot right now with having lost the baseball license and basketball. Telus read where you think upper deck is going in the next few months and whether or not and in what kind of an impact. It's direction will make on the hobby I would think you would make a major one.

Yeah I think it was. The year different like issued a -- has face customer. I think they're still gonna be create strong companies that we have currently low. And we -- we. How -- and they'll have about what was. But for purposes -- the and you -- to prevent future. Depending on how well or you know increases. In their ability here. What it was and and -- single for. -- it would be a perfect you know necessary. Are. You are well. Them but we're you know and in the economy again. Thicker -- thicker card. -- And then go back and the resources artwork. I think -- For now that's workable here.

Okay. Big coming out now or whenever the actual date is is exquisite basketball. And upper deck is the maker of that it's the last I -- maybe Wednesday as the day it's the last. Product that upper deck will issue with the NBA like seasons and make a lot of collectors expect -- for it to be loaded. Of course you have to be loaded to be able to afford it and I -- also production of this exquisite is very limited. What what can add to that and what will David Adams have.

I could -- perhaps some on the at least you know that -- Court cases -- in the two. I'll ask her okay. -- the the thought process that article in the -- last. Particular. Year or is left is a productive how about what was. That goes through there's there's a predict what the last war in numbers are alive and you. In the united you know he'll. Go about. And so you know. We think about that using the rest your McCurry and they're lying around your autograph well there. About that pretty much. It's been done in the past with other companies load products as they go -- more. Being a bad now that the opposite. -- that -- there. In case war. That's not evidence that's right they are about that there -- There'll be people out there who know me -- consider buying witness box but is it for. So well because it. It's like you know your target but. Is this jam packed it all there all there over over access right if --

Well you know he told a box -- pack but one. Thing of exquisite basketball. I'm thinking 800 bucks for a year the show's been on the air for more than a year in the little ad for it I say you know that they have packs of cards 300 dollars here's one. This is an 800 dollar. Pack for how many cards -- read.

Well like I'm not that's out of my league but I will come your party if I'm if I'm asked me next time so. You know. I don't work there but maybe got a enough enough begging for me thank you read that -- get up early and I'll talk to soon. -- Marine costs -- DA cart world dot com have of that exquisite basketball anybody out their polling -- or opening -- let me know. -- you do above and now a live vicariously through you on this one. And you can have item of an emotional piece of my majoring in Peterson card if you want will be will be -- in this together that. I have had some preliminary. Touch some trouble. Getting good information about it hasn't been as easy as I thought it might be I think I guess maybe I'm naive but I think with the insurance a figure that you could just. Buy insurance for anything insurance companies. Boldest act the way I am sure this is probably wrong but I just think like what insurance company would let you ensure any insurance integrate business to begin. You know just like to give you money. On the on the chance that what I have you know doesn't break if it breaks -- wanna collect from you -- I don't know I think I wanna just give insurance. Sort around I'd I'd sure you wanna assure your card collection juror. And on that original that makes sense but it it has it come easy so far I've had insurance companies tell me that they. That they won't insure cards because they're too easily lost and and condition is too much of a factor that it doesn't it's hard to get a true representation of what your value isn't. Questions like this so my idea is to have someone on who could really answer these questions either way if that's you let me know about you because I have not found that person yet. I've I've even gone to Google searches and try to get information about insuring a -- collected a collection and hasn't come easy I had one insurance company Tellme that I should look in the trade magazines well. I did that mean -- I scoured the trade magazines I do that religiously I would have done that first. And I thought that that was a a viable option in this. Insurance lady wasn't gonna know that.
