What do you mean by "follow"? Do you mean who's interesting to watch?

Hopefully you have your own collecting preferences and you aren't looking for anybody else's buying tips.

Yes, interesting to watch, knowledgeable, gives good insight into the hobby, stuff like that. I like to see new pickups, show footage, I like to hear people's thoughts on the hobby. So just looking for guys to follow when it comes to that aspect of vintage. There's tons of modern guys that I post that kind of stuff. But I've gotten to where I have no interest in modern. So wanting to start watching, following, interacting, etc, with vintage guys.

I'm on Instagram as:

red_lantern_nostalgia

Came very close to trying the YouTube thing after getting back from the National this summer, but in the end just couldn't pull the trigger. (Selfishly) my hobby is really just about me and escaping from reality, and while I like talking about cards literally to death and could probably do it - I didn't want to feel beholden to anything besides just whatever I want to do on a daily basis with my own collection. So many YouTubers will tell you later that it really becomes two hobbies - the cards, and then the channel...

I digress big time. If you want to follow some good vintage YT'ers, I would recommend:

Junk Wax Hero (Mike)
BRoth6 (Brian)
BOWMAN53 (Alex)
Bluejacket66 (Dave - no longer really making active content I don't think, but has a treasure trove of old videos)
John P Collects Cards (John)
The Mangini Collection (John)
SammyThunder (Sammy)

There are of course many more, but that will give you a good start.

There have been a great group of guys mentioned in this thread and I think i had the privilege of meeting everyone of them at the National this past year.

My suggestion is subscribe to Bowman53 (Alex) and either watch live or the recorded version of his Card Room Live. He is on mostly every Sunday night from 8-9pm EST and talks vintage cards with others as guests.

I have had the privilege on being on with him a few times and love it every chance I get. The wealth of knowledge as well as community is great and it will give you a chance to find other channels to watch from time to time.

Not a push but I started my YouTube channel almost 3 years ago (The Drew A Vintage Legacy) and it has absolutely transformed my collecting life since then just getting to know others with similar collections and likes and being able to connect in a different way.

Definitely start with Alex, who generously made my channels intro video, and expand from there,

Drew

Thanks for this information. I just started a channel, and I just posted my first video. It's a lot shorter than I thought it would be. And it's very awful to try and watch. But it's my first video, and it's done.

That’s great. What is your channel name? I couldn’t find it. I’d love to check it out and welcome you into the YouTube card community.
