New (Sorta) YouTube Channel: Elm's Adventures in Cardboard Land

[JollyElm]

I've been hit with some seriously bad juju lately, so I haven't been in the collecting world or on the site for quite awhile now (gee, thanks for noticing ), but wanted to announce that I have come up with a new name and look for my YouTube channel:
"Elm's Adventures in Cardboard Land."


The first new video is another SGC blind reveal and it has what my last one had, me endlessly yapping away about the cards I'm submitting (in a raspy voice that compels every grandmother on the planet to offer me a butterscotch candy), but if you have some time to kill, please give it a (30+ minutes long) watch. Hopefully you'll grab a few laughs and enjoy the various pop-ups my girlfriend created for it. Unlike my last one, though, this actually has the blind reveal in it, so there's no waiting and anticipating, just a one-stop viewing pleasure (your opinion may vary).


**Technical Note: The first section was filmed with an outdated camera, so it's like watching TV in the 1970s, but the intermission and finale are both in hi-def.**


Here's the title card (so Hollywood of me!):

Please enjoy it...and tell your friends (or the people you're stuck with in the self-checkout line) about it. They will thank you (no, they won't!):

Darren, was actually going to message you yesterday since you hadn’t been posting lately, but thought I’d give you a little more time away from the zoo, before we sucked you back in Looking forward to your videos!

OK Jolly, pretty entertaining

[Harliduck]

Agreed...very entertaining and fun to watch...thanks Jolly! Also agree on your comment for the 69's...my favorite...the do seem to have more sheen and the design just pops. Tough to find that Clemente centered like that.

Sound the Horns!!! A Day of Celebration is Upon Us!!!

Took a while, but I just dropped (yes, I'm cool enough to use the word "dropped") the second part of what will ultimately be an SGC Blind Reveal trilogy:

SGC Blind Reveal #3: "Rookies and Snows and Snakes...OH MY!"

Please enjoy it...and be a dear and tell your friends and family and that weird neighbor who constantly has his leaf blower going to give it a look. They will forever be in your debt...unless they become board to death by my constant (but possibly insightful?) yammering:

Make your weekend as fun as it can possibly be!!!

The last part of my (what became a) SGC Blind Reveal trilogy is now ready to make your dreams come true, so give it a whirl if you enjoy seeing cool vintage cards interspersed between too many tangents to even count:

SGC Blind Reveal #4: “COOL Cards for an ICY COLD Summer!”

Please enjoy it by hitting the streets screaming out the web address, so everyone will be entertained beyond belief by your generous act of promoting a fellow net54er:

Spoken in your mother's voice..."Oh, and would it kill you to throw it a LIKE or COMMENT or something???"

Nice Jolly. As someone who has the attention span of a gnat, thanks to smart phones along with decades of heavy bourbon drinking, it’s pretty much impossible for me to sit through a 38 minute anything. But you are entertaining and you clearly put some effort into production. I never knew that about the 65 Mantle World Series HR card so I learned something new today. Thanks.

You know what's funny?
While reading your cool "Spiderman at Fenway Park" thread, I saw you used the word "venerable." Holy heck would that have made a great addition to my list of words to use instead of the ridiculously overused "i-word." It would've been positioned as the very first word on said list in that graphic!! Too bad.

Well done, Darren, and very entertaining. That is a great-looking Gibson, no matter what the grade.

Thanks!! It is a beautiful card, but the grading thing is such a crapshoot that I do whatever I can to (try to) make the videos fun to watch.

In the middle of trying to put together another (hopefully) cool video (coming soon), my girl and I decided to give creating a theme song for 'Elm's Adventures in Cardboard Land' a try through the use of A.I.

I can't stop laughing at the song that resulted. My God!!!! If you really need a serious giggle, it is well worth 43 seconds of your life.

Please click here and laugh away:

Gave you a thumbs up for that Darren!

[JollyElm]

Okay...I finally uploaded a new video, but have no clue how to accurately describe the nonsense!!

It starts off as a review of the eBay Authentication process, but segues into a history lesson about the 1967 Laughlin World Series set, and then somehow ends up turning into a drinking game...all bookended by a silly theme song. (Only the finest production values here in Cardboard Land!!)

I kid you not.

Please give it a view, because in the end it's really all about a rare Mickey Mantle card!

Yeah, I hear you.

I'm really fascinated by the rarity of the 'with address' versions, since the career contemporary cards were issued while everyone's favorite golden goose, Mantle, was still actively playing.
