Depends if you are focusing on high grade or rarity. Perhaps to high grade, not even close to being tops in terms of breadth and rarity.

Great video.

"You can spend less money, and have just as much fun." Really appreciate this statement/point of view from Mr. Fogel.

What fun. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Marshall a few times, and he's terrific, such enthusiasm for all things baseball. Nice guy, too. When he outbid me for the WaJo Horner cabinet at the Christies's auction in '96, he came over and apologized!

That was absolutely unreal. And his demeanor is so warm and friendly. Thanks for posting, would love to see a longer cut.

That was insane. I love how he's so nonchalant about it. Most people with stuff that valuable are "hands off".

I have to admit, that was impressive to see just a little of his collection. I didn't now he had as much memorabilia as he does. I think I'm still more impressed by Barry Halper's collection though. Just because of how he acquired his items a lot of times from the players personally and not just with super deep pockets. But I am impressed with this collection. No doubt.

There are one or two members here whose collection I would be more interested in seeing. Not taking anything away from his collection but condition rarity doesn�t do it for me like absolute rarity does.

There is no wrong way to collect and this is truly an amazing collection.

I guess the concern is passe, but I do wonder if some of those 8s and 9s had some help.

+1 to what Rhett said, except that there at least a dozen Ner54 members whose collections I would be more interested in seeing.

I could not believe how cavalierly he treated those cards. It seemed to me he was disrespecting them (not to mention scratching the slabs). I did not understand it at all.

I had the same reaction. Why would you unnecessarily scratch the slabs like that?

Leon · #18 10-26-2022, 02:55 PM

I didn't see it quite way though I see how it could be interpreted like that.
I saw it like he was having fun showing the hobby and/or public his passion. I am guessing he has connections to get something re-holdered if he wants to. If it's about having fun, as we all say it should, then he was living it in that video. My 1st national (I think), maybe 2nd, it was around '99 or 2000, I had dinner with him, Scott B, Doug Allen and one other person, whom I don't remember. That was an interesting night.
For me, personally, I collect rarity but that doesn't diminish his collection an iota. It's a historic and great collection, he has. All things considered, that '52 Mantle, is possibly the nicest baseball card in existence. And this coming from someone who, if value was no consideration, would rather have lot's of other cards. Great stuff!

The best thing about Marshall's collection is that he's a lovely guy.

Years ago when I was a big '38 Goudey collector I reached out to him to see if he had any dupes. We had an outstanding exchange of emails, he is a really knowledgeable guy and happy to share his knowledge, which is not something everyone does.

We've had a number of very pleasant conversations over the years, and I'm always left thinking he's just a great guy.

I found myself looking at the stuff on the walls in the video, which seems just as cool as the cards.

I'm fantasizing on what a top breadth and rarity collection would look like, so many cards with less than ten examples, would be truly impressive.
