My Jose Canseco collection - in a Three Part Video Series

[mouschi]

Call it off-season depression, or whatever you want, but I am going through baseball withdrawal and figured now would be a good time to do what I've been wanting to do for quite a while. I've been looking forward to putting together a video series of my Canseco collection post-supercollectordom. I can hardly believe it, but it has been a year and a half since I stopped my relentless search for each and every card depicting the 40-40 man. Time flies when you are having fun ... and having a baby Beckett turns 6 months old today, and Atticus just recently turned 17!

Totaling a similar run time of Mission Impossible (About 1 hour and 45 minutes for all 3 episodes!) I understand that many won't want to watch me drone on and on about my collection, but nevertheless, I have made the videos, and are available to be seen. Fun fact! Mission Impossible grossed $147,700,000. The quality of these videos may be a *tad* lower than MI

I've been looking forward to putting together a video of my cards, but what really sparked this, was a box I ran across in my office. Inside of it was a number of player worn jersey patches & game used bat pieces that I cut up and had Canseco wear/sign at his house for future customs for my collection. This is how the three part video saga began.

After that, I decided to do a separate video of all of my custom cards I created for my collection. I don't think I have ever shared all the customs I've done for my personal collection in one spot, so here it is.

Last but not least, my collection of "real" Canseco baseball cards. I used to have well over 5,100 unique items. Now, I have around 200 or so (not counting my near run of base / base inserts). This collection has been thoughtfully assembled by acquiring my favorite cards to look at and own. It helped a lot having owned virtually everything before, and being able to look at my old collection online, to see what I truly loved. I only went after the cards that were truly meaningful to me, and have picked up several that I never had and came out after I called it quits. I was looking most forward to doing this video, because a video allows me to show off their true shine. Plus, I'm always happy to help others who may find a card they like in one of my videos - if a card inspires them, I can tell them what it is, so they can see if their guy is in the set.





(Ignore the Pujols & Astros card as they aren't shown in the video, this was just a fun messy shot of my cards - I am CONSTANTLY looking through them!)

That's a wrap on my Jose Canseco collection for now. Thanks for reading/watching! If you see any cards in my last video that you like, let me know and I'll look up the card type for you.

Thanks! The Rated Rookie was something so far out of reach to me as a kid, it didn't even make it to me in my dreams.
