Rarity of those also the wood grain borders although iconic they’re unforgiving to dings and blemishes and all that sort of stuff so collectors finding a mint condition card is really hard uh to find

Manel Roberto Clemente also has rookie cards for Gaylord Perry Lou Brock and they would uh also go on to be in the Hall of Fame much like the three cards that we see on top here we sort of have in 1987 and I’ll show this they did the wood wood grain again it’s supposed to sort of copy the wood grain of a bat I think they pulled it off better in 62 than they did in ’87 I think it’s more evident that the 62 is paneling of a bat and 87 kind of looks like the paneling on your mom’s minivan now we don’t just have base cards in this set we have we have a Green Tinted Bape Ruth subset and then also the sporting news subset here that had a lot of the allstars of the day and each card has a story on it and we’re going to tell a story after we open up this pack we’re going to tell the story of

looks like we also have Don Dr stes Sporting News card back there and the card is clean and bold it has the vertical layout instead of a you know horizontal of a lot of other cards and um the the top here it’s just just adds as a adds a piece of classic touch and we got the Simplicity of the design it attracts all the attention to spawn it’s his face who calm to meter has a steady gaze and at 41 during the 61 season he wasn’t just surviving he was dominating and the car and this card serves as a tribute to Spa’s amazing career by the time the card was issued spawn had already racked up 132 win Seasons uh a feat that is unmatched in Modern Baseball in 61 he won 21 games with a 3.02 ER even in his early 40s he was out pitching a lot of the people in their 20s in the leagues and the Braves have moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta but span’s Legacy was firmly rooted on the mound from a collector’s perspective the card is a double-edged sword it’s a stunning piece of baseball history but it can its value can vary very much on the condition these wood grain borders that we mentioned early in the video highlight any chipping any wear and high grades of this card are very uncommon to come across so this is a fantastic example of this card a PSA 9 or higher can can get a really he Hefty price tag but even the lower grade copies are cherished for the historical significance and the 62 Top Sporting News Warren spawn captures the essence of this place who represented baseball’s transition from the old guard to the Modern Age this is when that transition happened through the’ 60s and 70s and it reminds us of the perseverance of artistry of pitching so if you’re a Braves fan a spawn fan or if you just love vintage baseball cards this Warren spawn 1962 tops is a must have for any collection so you should pick one of these up all right folks hit like hit subscribe we’re Rob opens wax have a great day [Music]
