The premise was that Stu wanted to know why all his late 80's and 90's baseball cards weren't worth anything. However, this can be answered in about 2 seconds, over production. You don't need a documentary to figure that out. The real story is Stu getting closure with his father, whether he likes it or not. You can clearly see how what happened to his family has shaped who Stu is today. His sister and mother seemed more well balanced, but Stu has been deeply affected.
The good times Stu had with his dad collecting sports cards really hit home with me as I did that with my dad as well. Lots of good memories brought up there. I was tired and turned this on and had only intended to watch a few minutes to see what it was about. I watched the whole thing right then.

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.
This documentary has very little to do with baseball cards and more about a sons hard feeling about his father who abandoned his family.
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
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.
