    I'm glad that people donate during the breaks, but stopping every five seconds to shout out another channel that I dont care about is annoying. Please find a new way to handle this. Perhaps after the break giving everyone a shoutout at once?

    I wish Ozzie Smith could somehow watch this video. He would be very honored and humbled. As a St. Louisan and Cardinals fan I can tell you he is a true class act of a player and man. I was able to go to his retirement game as a kid. I just picked up an Ozzie Smith Immaculate auto 15/15 about a month ago. It is the center piece of my collection right now as I just dipped my toes back into the hobby. I loved watching this. Watch Ozzie Smith's Cooperstown induction speech. You'll love it. His speech is very unique as you will see. One more thing worth mentioning. You pulled two Al Hrabosky cards "The Mad Hungarian" in this break and didn't have anything to say about him. He also played for the Cardinals and has been an announcer and very involved with the Cardinals clubhouse for many years. He has gotten a little beer buzzed at times announcing games and is fun to listen to. Just thought I'd fill you in on some obscure baseball trivia. Have a great day. Until the next box break!

    I missed the live presentation but watched it after. What a great box! That's what a Topps box from old should be. Congrats on the Ozzie RC. Gotta be at least a 10 or 9.5. The centering and overall condition was really good! Wow, the memories of my youth opening Topps came flooding back over me. I grew up with these players. Thanks for the awesome blast from the past, so cool!

  • @AW-je8do

    Thanks for sharing Erik.👍👍👍👍. This video brought me back to those awesome days of summer in the latter 70's. I remember buying these packs from a mom and pop mini grocery store right around the corner from my house... Funny thing is these packs were to expensive for me to buy then and obviously now. I only received a 2.00 dollar allowance back in 1979 and I had to make it last. I usually bought a couple of cellos and a couple of packs each week or until the box ran out, there was alot of competition for those packs from other guys in the neighborhood and when the store sold out that was pretty much that until football season. Ty for bringing back those great memories and just imagine 7.20 for a full wax box... ahhh those were the days....

    So, because I'm kinda crazy, I decided to check these cards. ALL the cards are from sheets A, B, and C. This could have been another tragedy if this box contained cards from D, E, or F only. 1979 was the year topps overproduced cards

    Great story about a Ozzie card I had “back in the day”. Ozzie played amateur baseball in my childhood hometown of Clarinda Iowa. He would always return for a yearly banquet in the 80s. One year I had him sign a rookie card for me. He looked at it saying he would make an exception and autograph a card from his Padres era. I guess he will not typically sign Padres Era memorabilia. It was a nice card, not a 10 though. That Ozzie is certainly close to a 10...great pull!

    That Bump Wills Rangers cards is interesting. It was actually more valuable than the bump wills blue jays error card when I was collecting in the 80s. Apparently the rangers version was more rare back in the day but I’m pretty sure they both sell for about the same now. Enjoyed the video. 1979 was the first year I started buying packs. I’m pretty sure that Jackson was a double print. I’ve got a ton of them.
