Anyone have recommendations on documentaries to watch on Sports Cards or collecting?  Thanks

I have read a couple of books about someone's experiences collecting cards but no documentaries. The YouTube videos that are available are amateurish, in my opinion. I'm not interested in watching anyone open up packs. I'd rather watch paint dry.

Chasing Cardboard is a site I like on YouTube. You get some stories from a buyer and sellers perspective.

That TV show Hoarders

Collx “the card life” channel on youtube is fun.  a good variety IMO.  downside is their ads which is manageable.

MLB.tv had Carded monthly show.

not aware of documentaries.

Goldin on netflix has a few bits on trading cards.

I like The Mangini Collection on youtube.  chill, cards, no BS.  just a lot of hobby and sports knowledge

just finished reading Mint Condition which is was a great survey of baseball cards.  definitely recommend 

This aired on Australian cable TV a few years ago, not sure if it is available elsewhere: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12490740/

I agree with a previous poster.  Read the book Mint Condition.  It is an outstanding read.  

Ditto on the Mint Condition book

Behind the Card is also a pretty good documentary, especially for someone like me getting back into cards after a while. Was interesting to see recent trends and perspectives 

this just dropped “the hobby “ documentary
