Long time collector here. Long are the days since I have purchased a box to open. Especially opening a hobby box. But at a pricepoint like archives I get it. It's almost as if you you have to! Your update series 1 & 2 idea is cool! Subbed!
Nice! Thanks for watching, commenting and subbing! We need a combo blaster box! Topps Turbo or Topps Total or Topps Trio!!!!! I think that last one makes the most sense!
I was never high on Topps Archives when they first started producing them, but I like the current iteration where they include 3 different old-school designs. I love the old-time player cards, including the Thurman Munson! Thanks again!
I’m actually excited to get the base cards for this one. Something about the ‘93 design with Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron etc… makes me want to put them in the binder!
Nice! That Hank Aaron card is soooo sweet. I am trying to PC Ernie Banks cards, so when I don’t have a bunch of money, buying some cheap Topps Archives Ernie Banks cards through the years is always fun.
Favorite Rookie Card design from each year: Paul Skenes Elly Jasson Dominguez I personally love the Black Borders that come in the Blasters. Make sure you look at the codes at the back of the cards. There are design variations but they are hard to recognize. Great video!
Great video and some sweet cards Mr David Gonos. I always loved Topps Archives, because of the old Topps designs. Have a good rest of Tuesday to you and until your next video ✌️ Mr David Gonos.
I think that you got a great box. I have not even gotten one box of that stuff yet and to open and enjoy the time you had, please be encouraged that you didn't get totally blanked
There is no doubt thats my favorite elly design! These look great and the old timers photos look good on these! Im with you im kinda over own the game already.
I like your idea on all 3 flagship series in a blaster box etc. they have something similar with super boxes but it’d be cool to see a monster box with all 3 flagship releases. Would be hard to do with holding back packs/hits and with certain releases selling for substantially more then release price etc but it’d be great
Yeah, I don’t know what was going on with my lighting/camera! Thanks for pushing through, sorry about that! It made it look like I had to clean my glasses! Haha
Ok a couple things. Your personality and knowledge of the hobby are both great. Could sure use some better lighting for your rip table. Also...I've never seen anyone get so excited for base rookie cards.
Hahaha well, first, thank you! Second, yeah, I figured out I had the lamp in a horrible spot, which gave that horrible glow. That’s fixed. Third, HOW DARE YOU!?!? Jk, yeah, we get excited about base cards because that’s what I grew up getting excited about. When I pulled a 1978 Topps Reggie Jackson - that was a HUGE deal in my house. We didn’t often get cards by the boxes. We’d get maybe two packs in a week. Fast forward to now, this channel is for the sports card collector working with a limited budget. If we don’t get excited about a Jackson Merrill base rookie card in Topps Archives, then our exciting moments are few and far between. I understand, though, other channels/people think the hype horn is corny, especially for a base RC. But, I have fun, and there are others like me that find my channel, and that makes it even more fun for me. With that said, James, I very much appreciate your comment - that you even bothered to watch and then comment - and that you were kind and civil in your constructive criticism.
@ That’s where I ordered from. But I didn’t do the expedited shipping. I’m in Arkansas so must be the expedited shipping. Anyways, love the channel. Keep ripping.
Hmm.. yeah, a bit underwhelming, I’d say. Enjoyed seeing them for the first time, though, and at least you came back with a couple of your boy. I’m with you, not a big fan of the “Own the Game.” Thanks for sharing!
@ HAHAHA no you aren’t! They even have “flagship packs” in them, 3 packs of this standalone set and even have case hit SSP’s and numbered cards too. I saw the Elly case hit sell for $150 or something, which for a Topps case hit is pretty freaking good
They need to stop wasting crd board on the guys who aren’t playing anymore taking away from hitting more rookies to watered down and keep autos for rookies amnd star players only nobody cares about common autos products are to expensive to waist our time
@@davidallen2133wolfy my son loves getting old hall of famers. It’s a way for him to learn and appreciate players whose cards would be inaccessible otherwise.

Correct....collecting old HOF's career stats is priceless. @@marlowned
Very true about the autos, but I like the cards of old Hall-of-Famers. The common autos aren't great, but every now and then, these autos of common players become autos of great players that developed late!

@DavidGonos i 100% agree!
Image variation of #1. Nice!

Yeah, the three designs is a great touch! Munson is a legend, for sure. Thanks for watching!
Very informative and fun as usual !!
Oh man, thanks Phil! You gotta get involved in our chat on Gonos.Substack.com !
I like the '61 style cards the most in these.
They look better than I expected - but those 1994 ones are no bueno! Hahaha
Keep up the great videos 🎉
Thanks bro!

Me too, Robert, thank you for watching!
Lol "Big Dukie" lmao...
Hahaha I’m glad someone else enjoyed that!

awesome Dave

Thanks for the encouragement, Douglas! I needed that!
There is no doubt thats my favorite elly design! These look great and the old timers photos look good on these! Im with you im kinda over own the game already.
Agreed, for some reason, Elly totally works in 1994 design! Skenes or Chourio wouldn’t have looked as cool! Thanks Josh!
Thanks for sharing it’s always fun
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
happy hobby
Same to you!

Yeah, true about holding back hits, etc. but a Super Box would be awesome! Topps Trio!
Fun product! A bit hard to see some of them though as it appears you are in a cloud.
Yeah, I don’t know what was going on with my lighting/camera! Thanks for pushing through, sorry about that! It made it look like I had to clean my glasses! Haha

Another great video. Would have like to of seen more of a player I’m a big fan of. But maybe I’m a tad biased.
I'm right there with you, Chris. I wish they were better players!
How did you get your cards so soon!!! My order said it couldn’t ship until the 8th!!😮😮
I buy from Dave & Adam’s - they’re in Buffalo, and they shipped it to me in Texas. A day early!
@ That’s where I ordered from. But I didn’t do the expedited shipping. I’m in Arkansas so must be the expedited shipping. Anyways, love the channel. Keep ripping.
@ ahhhh yes, I did do the expedited shipping. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jimmy!
How bout filming your card cave to your viewers? I think that would make an awesome video.
Ahhhh man, that sounds like a cool idea, but also very boring! But it sounds like a good idea for an insurance video, too!
Hmm.. yeah, a bit underwhelming, I’d say. Enjoyed seeing them for the first time, though, and at least you came back with a couple of your boy. I’m with you, not a big fan of the “Own the Game.” Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I’m on the same page as you. It was a little underwhelming, but good to get those Juniors!
Don’t the Topps flagship super boxes have series 1, 2 and update? The ones you get at Costco
I didn't realize they had that! ... Well, now I'm just dumb. hahaha!
@ HAHAHA no you aren’t! They even have “flagship packs” in them, 3 packs of this standalone set and even have case hit SSP’s and numbered cards too. I saw the Elly case hit sell for $150 or something, which for a Topps case hit is pretty freaking good
@@Yankees1600 Oh wow, that is pretty awesome!
People collect Dontrelle Willis cards?😂
Hahaha, the D-Train is still a big deal in South Florida!
@@DavidGonos i have a few cool ones somewhere. And an auto .
This box wouldn't have been a stinker if it were priced appropriately..like $80
Hahaha yeah, that’s a good point!
Where is Greeg jefferies
Still in all those '80s packs, hahaha
Less light
Yeah, that was weird. Hahaha
Good break, good conversation and decent presentation while opening but the horn is absolutely terrible.
Yeah, I’m not for everybody, that’s for sure. Thank you, tho, for watching and commenting.

Meh. Got 2 boxes arriving tomorrow. Hoping my autos are better than your first box. Hoping your 2nd box is better as well.
