MLB Network "Cardboard Treasure"

Yeah, I really liked it overall, but the vintage stuff would have been even better. Perhaps we will see another show on the more historical evolution of collecting.

You got to focus more on modern players than on the older stuff. Good background and interesting vintage tidbits are fine -- but to get anyone outside of our small group (and yes we are a smaill group) interested in cards -- you have to focus on what is current to the wider audience.

After they join the fold, then they can be interested in the older cards of the world.

I only got to see the first 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I was at my parents house last night, and planned on watching it there. I got about 5 minutes in, and it was looking like a really good show, and then my dad had his tv set up to record the news, so it automatically turned there. I didn't know if he'd set it accidentally, or if he actually wanted to record something that was specifically going to be on the news that night. I ended up not changing it, so that I wouldn't risk screwing up his recording without knowing for sure. Anyways, it turns out that apparently my parents record the 10 o'clock news every night, and then watch it together later. Well, at least I got a good laugh out of it.

Anyone know when, or if this will replay?

Not the 1st time a modern card co. put a real diamond on/in a card. Pennacle Zinth issue from the mid-90s did it also. They were pretty small as I remember.

If all our moms threw away our cards how come so many still exist today ? Also how could any exist in Mint condition from the pre 1930's ? You telling me no one touch them in all those years.

Agreed 1000%!!! It would be nice to maybe see a mini-series or something that breaks down the different era's or something.
