keith olbermann talks cards with jimmy fallon on nbc's "late night" last night

mikelowell25 · May 23, 2009 7:24AM

dont know if any of u guys caught this last night (or if any of u even watch the show), but keith olbermann was a guest on "late night with jimmy fallon" (nbc, 12:35 am weekdays); the majority of the conversation focused on cards, as fallon says he used to collect and as we all know, olbermann is a big collector; sorry that the link isnt clickable, so just copy and paste it into your browser or simply go to nbc.com and u should be good to go (olbermann was the first guest)--its actually kind of an amusing conversation.

That's some great television. Ratings for that episode must've been through the roof.

zep33 · May 23, 2009 7:45AM

man, the first 5 minutes of this show sucks

So do the last 55 minutes.

BobbyVCP · May 23, 2009 8:16AM

Very cool

Olbermann is the biggest jack ass on TV. It's to bad the hobby has someone like him in it. JMHO.

He is a TOP notch EBAYer and a GREAT buyer to deal with.

Other than that, I no longer have anything good to say about him.

From the standpoint of selling cards, this is the only thing that matters to me. The guy pays well and pays fast. Personally, I find some of the viewpoints of certain Fox commentators to be asinine, but wouldn't hesitate for a minute to deal with them provided they paid their bills.

Whether or not you agree with Olbermann's points of view, one thing we do have in common is a love of card collecting.

grote15 · May 23, 2009 9:16AM

The political viewpoints of a collector matter little to me...we're talking about card collecting here, not politics..

Griffins · May 23, 2009 9:47AM

Grote has once again shown himself as a very wise man.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · May 23, 2009 10:45AM

Keith said Billy used to call people FF. Hmm. Never heard that before.

His mention of 9 versions is closer than the guides.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

mikelowell25 · May 23, 2009 10:49AM

yeah donovan, i immediately thought of u (or at least your avatar!) when they started talking about the FF card--glad u enjoyed it!!

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · May 23, 2009 11:13AM

I did. After dinner I'll probally listen to that part 5 more times.

I agree. I find it funny that anyone would think otherwise. Sort of like, how big a college they attended, what they ate last friday? Has nothing to do with cards.

Mick65 · May 23, 2009 11:15AM

That show should be off the air by Memorial Day-

K · May 23, 2009 1:22PM

I can't stand the guy either but regardless we need to stop the political debate before "Big Brother" swoops down and snatches everyone up.

Couldn't agree more. Well said.

ping4u43 · May 23, 2009 5:39PM

Who care's what he is, as long as he buys your/my cards and pays for them. Have sold to him numerous times.

theczar · May 23, 2009 9:33PM

i am not a big fan of olberman, but i have a dirty secret to admit about one of his co-workers.

i have a huge man crush on rachel maddow, i think he is dreamy. i would love to hang out with him and talk sports, women and cars. he is a real man's man.

fur72 · May 24, 2009 4:20AM

<< The political viewpoints of a collector matter little to me...we're talking about card collecting here, not politics.. >>

Well said. I think high profile indiviuals are good for the hobby (No matter what their poltical views). I have seen him on other talk shows where he spoke quite a bit about sports cards. Its the only guy I can say I actually check to see what he buys on ebay.

Edit to add I had the talking baseball cards they were terrible to listen to, no idea where they ended up

Mintacular · May 24, 2009 4:47AM

Could someone PM olbermann's ebay ID? Would find it very curious to see if he every bought any of my stuff. I don't want to enter into the political debate but I think he and Dan Patrick were a great sports combo on sportscenter during the 90's. Thanks.

Hint: Its has something to do with the last time the cubs won the World Series.......

Allen · May 24, 2009 7:02AM

I like Keith Olbermann.

pandrews · May 24, 2009 7:44AM

Rush Limbaugh is working on a 1933 Goudey set..

DRS · May 24, 2009 11:53AM

What does Keith collect?

CDsNuts · May 24, 2009 12:00PM

I, for one, demand that all famous people have all of the same opinions as me in order for me to like them. I would also prefer my favorite athletes to not cheat on their wives or go to strip clubs.

Did anybody save this video clip ? I can't view video from work, but have been told it's no longer viewable. I wanted to add it to br.com

CrimsonTider · June 22, 2009 9:19AM

Still don't like him

mikelowell25 · June 22, 2009 9:47AM

donovan: the video was only available until last monday the 15th; the only reason i know this is because i told my dad to make sure he watched it a few days before because i noticed it said "available until june 15"; i guess nbc only has so much room on their website so they only make em available for about three weeks (or 24 days in this case); try contacting nbc and see if maybe they can put it back on there (i tend to doubt it but its worth a try).

That trash would be best left in the hand of Rube. It would like looking into the future .
