Old video on the 1991 or so Boston Club Show

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Interesting that almost 35 years ago people were complaining about kids being priced out of the hobby. Anyone who's been to a recent National knows that's simply not true. You see more kids than ever before, and with wads of $100's.

I also wish I could buy 200 of those $55 Mantle autographed baseballs.

I loved watching that - I watched closely for myself since I definitely was going to that show around that time period!

Of all things that stood out, I think the reporter was on a quest to find the strongest Boston accents he possibly could find in the crowd. Certainly were some wicked strong accents in there!

I got to spend 3 days set up across Levi at the most recent Boston Shriners show in November.

He had a lot of visitors at his table that weekend.

Great video! Brought back some good memories of going to card shows back then.

Wicked lol.
Practically the first thing I did after arriving in Cambridge in 1981 was, naturally, to go to Fenway. That was my first real exposure to the accent.

I love how they say “cards”.

Great video. Where are all the slabbed cards?!?

As a kid, I was a major card show attendee from about 1985-1990.

Al Rosen "Mr. Mint" said he had been on Good Morning America 3 times, and Joan Lunden said that there are heads of state that hadn't been on the show that many times. He said, "Yeah, but I sell baseball cards, and that's more interesting!" That's true.

Haven’t you heard? A C note is the new $1 bill.
