Jack of all Trades

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.

This movie was great in my opinion. Being a avid watcher of documentaries, this movie was able to find a great balance of information on a niche subject all day while following a story with heart. As a card collector I found out things about the hobby I did jot know. All the while they were able to pivot and bring in the story of family journeys through the hobby. I actually wished the film was longer to get more on both ends.

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!

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.

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.
