Okay I did a joke comment, now the real one….. 🤯Pete Rose! WOW! I was so honored to be a small part of this series. The best part is gaining a great friend in the hobby and a fellow Buccos fan! Babe Ruth WAR run is crazy! Orlando, what a treat, he’s the best! Love the leaf premiums! Your Ruth strip card is amazing, love it!!! Well done Al, take a bow! 🙌🏻

What a way to top off your iconic series with the most iconic player in baseball…Babe Ruth!! Awesome to have Pete Rose and Orlando be a special part of this tribute to the Sultan of Swat!! Amazing cards of the Bambino!! Enjoyed following your countdown!! Well done Iconic Al!!

Perfection. From the Hit King to the Mayor of Hobbytown, to your amazing personal collection. Al, this was the perfect ending to a jaw dropping series. What’s most impressive isn’t the decades of thoughtful collecting, the years of careful curation and the untold hours of thinking and sorting and producing (although those are all off the charts). What’s most impressive is that you brought us all along with you. You took “the hobby” on your back for the ride. You let all of us watch along and play the home game, and you let all of these killer collectors share their killer collections and bend the awesomeness needle every time. The humility and generosity and kindness and curiosity and care you displayed here are simply and unquestionably unparalleled. I’ll stop myself now, Iconic…. But here’s hoping you never do!

One hell of a run, my brother! What a perfect finish to an epic countdown! And that Pete Rose cameo 😂😂😂!! Another wonderful collaboration - Orlando’s Ruth cards are 🔥 🔥 🔥!! I, and I’m sure everyone else, look forward to your future videos, and maybe a few more collaborations! Epic work, Iconic Al!

Amazing video Iconic Al. Congratulations on completing your run of the top 100 Iconic MLB players. It was cool to have the opportunity to see those vintage Babe Ruth cards. I am very proud of your effort to take on this challenge and incorporate the pieces of other collectors in your videos. It was fun to see your growth and expertise along the way. Love, Dad

Well done!

Thanks Mr Al! A true mensch👏👏You should take great pride in completing this countdown good Sir. Salute❤

Wow did Pete rose get in touch with you to do a message or did you, what a surprise 🎉 and look forward to future list of honorable mentions and or historically relevant players, GREAT JOB and everyone gives a standing ovation, 👏

What a way to finish Al. I have enjoyed every episode. Fantastic opening with Charlie Hustle. Orlando is, I would argue, one of the greatest supportive leaders in our great cardmunity, What a beautiful collection of the greatest of them all. Thank you for this series Al, absolutely awesome.

Bittersweet, but what I ride you've taken us on, Al. Happy for you, buddy. Honored to have been part of it.

EPIC ALREADY!!!!! HOLY WOW!!!

Thank you Al for your awesome UKposts channel, and this series. Truly appreciate you sharing my Ruth cards in this series. Truly appreciated. Pete Rose was an outstanding addition!

What a series finale! Pete Rose making a cameo was a pretty cool surprise. Orlando has a Ruthian collection…literally..and a great guy to have as part of this video. Your playing days Ruth is a beauty too! Really enjoyed this and I have a few in the series I have to catch up on but every video I’ve watched has been amazing. Congrats on completing this awesome task, Al!

Awesome conclusion to the series Al! No question, he was #1! Great video as always! Super cool to have Orlando on, his Babe Ruth cards are amazing! Plus, he's genuinely a great guy. Great W515-1! Its such a great card! Super cool that you have a number graded version. Super difficult to get, since its handcut. I really enjoyed your countdown! Looking forward to watching your next series! Thanks again for making the series, I know the time it takes! Great work!

Al, this has been such an iconic series, and what an epic culminating episode! Peter Rose! 🤯🤯 Orlando! 🤯🤯 Your stunning W515! 🤯🤯Words can hardly describe just how stunning and epic that card is! Your original artwork from Skaught! 🤯🤯 I hope your Babe relic card does well at BGS! Thank you for bringing this series to us and for sharing in your joy, as well as sharing your iconic collection! 🤯🤯 BTW, I thought the strip cards were generally in certain retail stores, so that if a customer made a purchase, the clerk would cut off a single strip card for them if they asked, or perhaps cut off a strip of two or three cards to give to the customer? Thank you, my collecting brother! 😊

Nice way to end it with THE BAMBINO. He was good. So is Orlando. I'll eat a Hot Dog today in both their honors. Nice touch with Pete, he's the best.

This series has been a Colossus, and it has had plenty of Clout within the UKposts Community. It has been The Great undertaking of your channel, and I know you consider it to be your Bambino. I don't care what anyone says, you are a Sultan of a statistician, and that's nothing to Swat at coming from me. It's no surprise that George ended up as the King Of the Iconic Al countdown, I knew it'd end with a bang and not a Crash. I'm not one to Jidge, but by my measures- this countdown has been the Goat of all baseball collection countdowns. Congratulations on an epic run, you are absolutely a Legend that will be remembered- but you'll always be my Hobby Hero, Al.

AWESOME!

This was truly a great series. Iconic indeed. I don't know where you (or Darren) will do next, when he's done with his list too, but looking forward to see what happens next. I'm sure though you, will conjure some other great ideas for the viewer experience. Always appreciated the history you talked about to make the case for your rankings, and you have an exquisite collection. I don't comment much because I don't often know what to say, which doesn't happen much honestly. Lol.

Congratulations on completing this series. I was not able to catch very many of these, but can always go back and check them out. I would agree that Babe Ruth was the best. Really cool cameo from the hit king. 👑 Surprised he didn’t say he was the best. 😂

Strong finish! 💪 thanks for the countdown al.

👏 Well done Al! Thank you for making this awesome series 👊

Al, Hard to argue with Babe Ruth as the #1 Player of all time! I've always said "If it's not Babe Ruth, it's Willie Mays!" Willie is clearly the best 5-Tool position player of all time! But Babe Ruth could also pitch, which I think gives him a slight edge! Congratulations on a great series!

Wow, Al! You crushed it. Each and every video, man! What a victory lap with Pete Rose cameo. You got the great footage, the stats, Orlando laying it down and then the treasure that are in your collection. I had a double take video I had planned to make for you but I had a hard time getting in video mode recently. Anyway - never mind me. This was such an epic endeavor, I feel like taking you out to dinner to celebrate. Maybe I will if you are ever in NY. I mean, I will, if you are 1) down and 2) in NY 🤣 Epic!

Well I waited a couple days to watch this video. Not because I wasn’t excited to see it but I knew the countdown would be over and I wasn’t ready for it to be done! Haha However, I know this just begins the journey of even more great content. This has been so fun to watch Al! You picked a great guest for the finale. Orlando is the man! Amazing collection of the Babe from yourself as well! I should have known Pete would be on cameo. lol 😂

Great video and great series! Hope to see more vids in the future. Thank you for pulling this series together.

Great video Al. I’ve enjoyed this series from beginning to end to end. Ruth being first was not a surprise to anyone but your spin and coverage is just outstanding. I love that you included so many other UKpostsrs showing the love and support of this community. Looking forward to your new series of the top 100 players in basketball.😉 Just kidding but it’s been a pleasure getting to know you and watching this series.

Great video, and a great end to the series. My favorite was the Ozzie Smith, of course. Also subbed to your brother’s channel. Sound like an era that will be fun to watch. Looking forward to what you do next.

I think we all knew who would be #1, but still such a cool way to hear about it. Also, including Pete Rose! Like how?? Awesome video Al!!

Well, it’s been nice watching your channel, good luck in UKposts retirement! 😂
