I haven't been back in the hobby again for little over a year. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed and dejected to it. Your channel, along with a few others, seems quite familiar to my thinking. Thank you for the entertainment and education on the older and more obscure cards FOR FREE! Keep on holding to what is your truth. Thanks again for helping me navigate this weird realm of cards today.

You’re welcome. I appreciate the knowledge you share and you putting yourself out there during all the drama of the boom. I am a fan of the packaging as well. The product packaging is/was created to help sell the product and part of the lore. Especially, when there is no one that is alive that documented or knows the packaging. Mystery’s are fascinating. You have a fascinating museum collection. Keep on curating.

Glad you came out of obscurity as I’ve learned a great deal about vintage cards from your channel😊 Always enjoy your content! Your collecting in obscurity comment is actually an interesting topic in itself. I’m always amazed at attic finds and often wonder how many cards remain tucked away in shoe boxes, in attics, and in storage lockers. I think there’s still plenty of the more rare stuff to be discovered which just adds to the fun of the hobby.

Wow I have never seen one of those tins, thanks for showing. I don't see items like that on eBay, but I did purchase a card this week on eBay that is a special card for me. It's just a 1963 leading pitchers card with Sandy, Don, and Bob Gibson on it, but what makes it special is I sold this card to this guy back in 1976 when I was a kid, and now it has found it's way back home. Sounds crazy but it's true never thought I would find the card again, but 5 years ago at a estate sale my wife found my great great grandfather's family Bible so you never know. P.S. Your my favorite KZitemr because you keep it real and we learn a great deal. Thanks

I do like your videos a lot John, and thanks for the content you put out. I have collected most of my 55 years I have been alive, although my collecting habits have varied over the years. I have contemplated numerous times about starting to make content and post it on KZitem, but as of right now I am still a very avid watcher. I am very thankful for all the channels I have subscribed too. This is a great community and a great source of reference. In the area I live in there isn't a hobby shop in over 30 miles, so I don't get the chance to go and buy things there. I have to rely on card shows, when they are in the area. I miss the National in Atlantic City. I know people don't like it there, but I do because it was driving distance for me. Keep doing what you do....Keep providing your viewers not only with great information, but also entertainment. Thanks....

I have always collected in obscurity except with my brother in which we went to the National starting in St. Louis 1996 thru 2019. We are both up there so decided no more Nationals. Its a shame because since I have gotten into KZitem have enjoyed interacting with all the presenters and would love to meet. Just going to Chantilly now that I live in NOVA. Have met a few there. Anyway John I am a regular and love your channel. If ever around DC let me know. That Fatima box is a kick. I have the Cleveland and 8 others just no Detroit sadly.

When I began watching KZitem heavily in 2020 to learn more about cards and coins, I resisted the recommendations that others made about who I needed to watch. I wanted to discover channels on my own. Ha! Your name came up quite often, along with several other names. I watched a few times, but what you shared just didn’t interest me at the time. You are now one of the regular channels that I watch just because you are yourself…..and I am interested in learning about cards that I may never see in person, much less own. Thank you, John, for sharing some personal things about yourself. And all those dang good cards!
