Hard to watch
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
This is not a baseball card documentary.
This is a long, dull reality show staring an unlikable man who acts like a childish brat who demonstrates less knowledge about the sport and the hobby than your average child with a passive interest in baseball. In fact, the sport seems completely meaningless to everyone in the film. Their only concern is money and they blame the industry for alleged misdeeds when their dreams of growing rich off of baseball cards didn't come to pass.
Large portions of the movie are bickering between Stuart and his family over what the movie should be, while the climax is a discussion that Stuart has with his father, who is perhaps the only person in the film who is less likable than Stuart himself.
The only redeeming parts of this film are the scene with Jose Canseco, who is down to earth and candid, and Foul Ball Paul, who clearly has a love for the game and a true interest in the hobby that extends beyond Stuart's petulant whines of "why aren't these worth more".
If you want to watch a clueless privileged man-child whine that the silver plate life handed him wasn't polished quite to his liking, this film is for you. If you have any interest in baseball or baseball cards and want to reminisce or learn more about the sport or the hobby, please do not waste your time on this garbage film.

A nice story weaved into a documentary
This is not the movie to tell you your cards from the 80s and 90s are worthless due to overproduction...you knew that! It is one of the players involved in the industry looking for some whys and also the whys on what happened to him personally! Thought it was well done and interesting to watch. I loved that era of cards and the great shows that were held everywhere!
Uneven and some parts are clearly scripted
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.

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