Wax Pack Wisdom: My Collection Vol. 1 [Ep. 009] Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, 1950s Bowmans + More!

The first page of my collection I started putting together 30 years ago.

In this episode of Wax Pack Wisdom we start a brand new series of videos exploring my baseball card collection. [Watch the full video here, and please subscribe if you like WPW content.]

In the 1990s, I collected baseball cards with the help of his family and my collection stretches back to the 1940s. Here, we look at the first 9 cards in our collection, including cards from Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Gil Hodges, Brooks Robinson and Johnny Mize as well as Walt Dropo's rookie card.

I talk about 1950s Bowmans, the 1968 Topps Game set, and the groundbreaking 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set.

What was your favorite card here? Do you have any stories or wisdom to share about any of the players you see here?
