When Don West met Honus Wagner

If you can get past the hucksters yelling, you might find this very amusing.

Good stuff! That '52 Mantle looks pretty good too.

Does BO sell these boxes?

Kenny was always just a few steps away in the break room. He was just an odd looking creature and deathly afraid of the Don.

They're pronouncing Wagner's first name wrong. Honus is a shortened form of Johannes. It should sound as if you are saying "Hannis." It does NOT rhyme with "bonus"

Both the 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson and 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle look really small.

Imagine him selling 2018 Update. Hobby boxes would be $1,000 and he would sell all of them.

I bought this sadly back in the day.

Got some good hot #@#@#@#@, but did manage to pull a Kobe gold card

Think these had wrapper redemptions. I redeemed mine and got a pretty banged up Connie Hawkins card

Looks like the same Wagner card that nut from Nevada (i forgot his name) had a few years back.

No, I'm pretty sure it rhymes with "Bonus".

Ken Goldin the clown that screwed everyone on the redemptions. I thought everytime I watched Don West I always thought he would have a heart attack on the show.

Joe Orlando pronounces it like you do, however. Take from that what you wish:

When I was working second shift (4PM-Midnight) back in my computer days operating IBM Mainframes, I'd say up and watch Don West.

I don't recall if I ever made a purchase, but it was pure entertainment.

Screwing everyone on redemptions would be Goldin's misdemeanor of offenses.

Dude sold fake MJ Star cards, and his defunct company Scoreboard peddled nothing but fake autos / COA's.

Amazingly he just keeps on getting by and now owns one of the biggest sportscard auction houses. Rich get r----....

he eventually became an announcer for TNA Wrestling (and he still sold merchandise too (the brown bag special!))

Loved watching Don back in the day. Wonder how many Mark McGwire rookie cardsssss he has at home?
