What's up everybody we are here at Hall of Fame baseball cards in Arcadia
California my name is Erik I'm with Michael Mondragon we are currently
testing out Mike's new 360 that's right camera that's right so we're just kind
of having some fun figuring out how some of this new
technology works and he brought the camera in here just to capture some of
the essence of Hall of Fame Baseball Cards right here so I'm going to take a
minute and show you all around I don't know where to start I guess we'll start
right behind me we have a lot of different cards in the shop here
we also carry basketball cards obviously baseball but basketball cars this whole
wall behind me is all basketball cards right here we got basketball cards in
the shelf right here if you were to come down to the far end of the shop this way
all the way down here we got a lot of memorabilia and storage accessories some
nice paintings on the wall over here is where maybe you are gonna have some
gaming cards we got some hockey cards back here this is where our register is
where we do all of our sales we got football cards over this way this
whole wall right here and if you come all the way down here the front of the
shop is all baseball cards that's it that's what I'm all about so a lot of
stuff to see here Hall of Fame how long have you been here we've been here for
26 years 26 years yeah we've been in business for
36 years really you were somewhere else 1981 yeah we were at home Bob
started a business out of our home in our garage
he had the garage set up in similar fashion shelves were
tn boxes open so people could buy packs he would sell to local customers he
would do a lot of mail order this is before email folks his snail mail
ordering and and then saved up for about 10 years and then we started renting in
the spot that we're at now currently and who knows hopefully our business will
grow to the point where we can start renting in a bigger spot someday who
knows of course this camera makes our spot
look pretty big as it is it's pretty tight in here but yeah so if you happy
pan around and and look, 'Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack' so yeah so it's
been great I actually have been starting coming here religiously what about a
little over a year ago so yeah this has been great it reminds me when I was
growing up in Phoenix we had a little literally the place was called the
Shoe Box, and this reminds me of a shoe box, so it's what they used to collect
baseball cards in before they had the nice cardboard over here but we used to
put him in a shoe box so it was a very appropriate name. Mike runs a blog
where he talks about the art of craft beer and baseball so when he stopped
buying just now he brought me a few beers to taste I'll just show you guys
we do have a little refrigerator right here which is kind of handy stocked with
water and soda for customers and beer for other customers right I have to
butter up the the owners here so I can get the good deals some cool looking
stuff I haven't tried any of these yet but this is an anthem
traditionally fermented cider looking forward to that one it also brought this
one here the Modern Times from San Diego, the Fruitland.
A sour tropical fruit goes got this one also looks looks interesting Dr.
Jekyll's bio beer spiced IPA from Ukiah California. And then Mike just showed
showed this one on his Instagram page so Sublime, the band, has their own beer
the Mexican Lager comes in this cool black can definitely very cool looking
forward to trying some of these very very soon maybe in like two minutes
it is Friday that's right Alesmith is they have the Tony Gwynn Museum it's in
San Diego so you can actually go to their brewery and they have a Tony Gwynn
Museum what would happen if we like try to beer right now would that be ok ok

so here's the Alesmith, by Sublime, it's a Mexican lager, 12 ounce can 5.2
percent alcohol crisp balanced easy drinking let's put that to the test
right now okay easy opening
tastes good all right it definitely tastes like you said it kind of like a
Budweiser yeah. Mexican lager, Budweiser or Modelo or
something like that yeah it's very late oh sir there you go yeah cheers everyone
can't beat that. Yeah it's good stuff almost like it yeah
like a Coors no us as that type of texture as well. I feel like we should
maybe now each open a pack of cards baseball cards you got time for that.
Yeah so let's make this make it quick and we can definitely look. So let's open
some baseball cards. That sounds good.
Awesome, so we got Donruss 2017. Are they through Panini? Yeah okay,
and I got the top series too with Kershaw on the front. Nice. And can we
open up at the same time? Let's do it. Let's crack some packs. All right.
This is what it's all about. You know you can be in your 30 and 40s and still
really love it see what we get here.
Wil Myers on my end. I'm just gonna try to show as I go through. Porcello, Red Sox
I got Kazmier, I don't even know if he's on the Dodgers anymore. Yeah Brian Dozier.
AJ Pollock. Ooh that's cool, press proof of Jay Bruce. Those are nice.
Yeah, I like
the press. Kind of rock it back and forth to get some of that light shining
on, oh those are nice yeah. Out of 99. I got a Roberto Perez base. Carson Fulmer.
Your pack looks better than mine so far. Diplo first pitch. Who is Diplo? Do you know?
He's an EDM guy. EDM cool. Well I don't know,
you might have showed your age there but I guess I redeemed myself. Yeah. (laughs)
Corey Kluber. There's a Kelvin Herrera with the
vintage Topps symbol up there. I think those are a little more rare than the
the ones that have the current Topps symbol. Yep. Duke Snider. My buddy Kevin
Lyon actually struck up a friendship with him as a young child going to a
card shops, er, card conventions. These are actually matted, matted these
have some low gloss these are matted and this is numbered 54 of 99. Which is kind of cool.
I haven't seen too many of those yet. I've got a Mookie Betts.
One of my favorite players. Nice card. You have better pack than I did.
Renato Nuñez here. That means you're gonna get some crazy autograph.
Yeah. I got Mike Napoli, there. Just saw him on Wednesday. Brad Boxberger. Sure.
Makes me think of White Castle which serves burgers in little boxes.
And Adam Ottovino. With the exception of that one vintage Topps card this was a
pretty sorry pack well it's just one pack in a box of 36 my odds weren't very
good I think you beat me there baby you win you win the pack war officially
