I watched and thought the show was very "nice". Obviously they were wrong when they said the 1952 Topps was Willie Mays rookie, but they were correct in calling Mantle's 52 Topps his 1st Topps card and the 51 Bowman his rookie. I laughed when they pulled the reprint sheet out and stated that every card was a rookie card (all years mixed together). I did learn that on Hank Aaron's 1956 Topps, it is not him in the background picture but actually Willie mays airbrushed into a Braves uniform. The Billy Ripken spot was a little neat, and it was kinda nice seeing a bit of Dmitri Young's collection.
