If you grew up in Thornhill and rode your bike to Sluggers to buy cards and ate cookies and played RBI baseball nextdoor then this film is for you. If you are unfamiliar with this place then you may not like this film. I always wondered what happened to the store and when Kamal (aka Karlos) took it over why and what for? Not a perfect movie as it could have focused more on the rise and fall of the the industry. In the end, it helped explain why my stash isn't worth anything anymore and more importantly, what happened to a place that was such a large part of my childhood. Thanks for making it. I appreciated it.
This movie was great in my opinion. Being a avid watcher of documentaries, this movie was able to find a great balance of information on a niche subject all day while following a story with heart. As a card collector I found out things about the hobby I did jot know. All the while they were able to pivot and bring in the story of family journeys through the hobby. I actually wished the film was longer to get more on both ends.
This documentary was supposed to be about the rise and fall of baseball cards in the 80s &90s , but we get a weak story , weak acting, and very weak production I can only give 2 stars because it is obvious that all of the back story of the "father son " rift was a total lie The story is all over the place There is characters that they don't introduce, and you can tell a lot of this is rehearsed
When the documentary is about baseball cards, it's fun and entertaining. When's it's personal and the dude with emo hair interjects, it ruins everything.
The personal drama is so scripted and fake. They're all bad actors. It comes across as bad soap opera. The running over the cards scene was completely fake and other VH1 style scenes. This is what happens when a producer doesn't get on a board with ONE idea. I wonder who messed this movie up... Emo hair man !
When it's not about Jack and his crappy dad. It's a fantastic movie about baseball cards. Maybe someone will make a real documentary about cards one day.

This kid's dad was in the baseball card dealing business. So he just got all this stuff given to him as a kid so I don't view him as a real collector. The story would've been way better had this kid collected on his own.
