kcmangineGreat Resource.I just finished listening to them all. It was a fun history of vintage over the past few years. Three years of work has created a great resource for folks who want to learn more about old cards. Thanks.
-
Catman004Marathon EpisodeWhat a great episode! A lot of people talk about the hobby, but a lot don’t talk about the philosophy of how to navigate it. As a young vintage collector, this episode is invaluable for anyone who feels the need to buy cards now!
-
juice2121212121Vintage > ModernBy far and away, this is the best vintage baseball card Podcast around! Mike is super knowledgeable, is easy to listen to and has fantastic expert guests on as well. 5 Stars earned and well deserved.

Halbig Vintage SportscardsThe Best Podcast for Vintage SportscardsMike does a great job informing the collector and investor on vintage sportscards. You won’t find a better podcast out there!
-
Ian SrFun and informativeI recently found this gem and have been binging back episodes. Mike is an entertaining host with incredible knowledge. I inherited a vintage collection from my recently deceased father and this show is bringing me up to speed quickly.
-
Otto OksenGolden Age of Cardboard is TremendousMike is a masterful host of this podcast even his Dad says he’s from the shallow end of the gene pool during the opening. I listen to every episode. Just a great idea.
-
SwimDad99Great Place for Vintage Card TalkMike is absolutely terrific. He’s got a remarkable card collection and knows as much about collecting vintage baseball cards as anyone alive. Great radio voice and vibe.
-
mark h oriolesVery enjoyable Broadcast about vintage cardsI’ve been enjoying your podcasts and just recently subscribed. I just listened to your podcast about building sets, in particular the 1960 set. This is what I do and just recently completed a 58 set and am working on the 60 set now. I need about 75 cards. I enjoy obtaining lots, utilizing a checklist and ultimately putting them in a book. There is something very methodical about this that is very reminiscent of completing sets as a child, with the only difference being, instead of packs, we open mail now. Did you ever complete your set?
-
joe-b-oneGreat podcast!The PERFECT listen for when you're sorting your own cardboard gold. Love Mike's passion for collecting. Keep up the great work!
-
BrockabellaLove this podcast - and a ? for MikeI’m thinking of diving into the vintage card collecting market and am finding this to be a terrific resource. Question for Mike - what resource did you use to build your 1960 set checklist? I can find a lot of checklists on line, but none in Excel format. I want a spreadsheet and don’t see a way to do it other than typing in each player’s name which would be sub-optimal.

j.miller97Awesome listenVery enjoyable and great information
-

1952 Red ManReminds me of why I love vintage cardsAwesome podcast with great insights and topics! I recently got back into collecting vintage cards after a very long hiatus, and Mike and his guests remind me why I love talking about old baseball cards. Highly recommended!

Pond_Koi_SurferFantastic InsightIf you have ever been into vintage baseball cards this is going to be your new favorite podcast. I just love the host and his guests. Greats insight and history of baseball cards. Most importantly to me they are so honest with there reasons for collecting and there thoughts on them. This podcast made me feel like I am not the only person on earth who gets such warm feeling from vintage baseball cards. Thank you guys keep it coming. 🤙🏻
-
insrmanI love this show great stuff guysGreat insight great topics Mike is now The Man, The Myth, The Legend!
-
coachkjdWonderful podcastAs a 50 yo collector I was thrilled to find Mike’s podcast on vintage cards. I have been noticing this week, cards I bought a few months ago have doubled in price. Mikes latest podcast provided a very timely analysis. In think one other factor is the tragic number of hall of famers who have died this year. Keep up the good work.
-
HaineswalkerOne request, Mike! Please examine the 1968 Topps SetAwesome show. Great guests! I would love it if Mike would recap the 1968 Topps set. It has a wonderful collection of young pitchers like Ryan, Seaver, Palmer, Carlton, Denny McLain, and the two Niekro brothers. Thank you for the inspiring and unique podcast.
-
GotgrsAdvanced collectors podcastI have quickly become a big fan of this show. As a long time collector I appreciate that this show is geared for that crowd and a show that I can learn from. I just finished the most recent episode and my shop going experience as a kid was exactly the same as the hosts and I grew up in a different part of the country. Very enjoyable listen.
-
D2131Great ContentI have loved listening to every episode. I learn something new each time. I personally am a fan of Hall of Fame autographs and really enjoyed the episode with Bill Hall of Fame Collector. I also like the many different ways you can collect vintage (Topps last Hall of Fame Card, etc.). Keep up the good work.
-
Victor SrFINALLY!!Really impressed with the whole concept and theme of this podcast. Finally, someone is discussing the popular topics of vintage cards. It’s a breathe of fresh air when everyone seems to be all about “investing” in the ultra modern game.
-
Jss0062Take a look backWhether it be incredibly knowledgeable guests or throughly researched information of vintage cards this podcast delivers a refreshing break from the ever changing landscape of modern cards.
-
Shaun9778Love Vintage cards!In recent months the sports card hobby has been taken over by modern and ultra modern content. For the old school collector this gets old and repetitive. It’s so nice to find quality vintage content. Thank you!
-
FinelyDecantedCabSauvGood start. Tons of potentialI’m really enjoying this pod four episodes in. Has a lot of potential. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Card collecting needs more content that is about collecting. Not ‘investing.’
