Can we just all admit that THIS was the golden era of team logos? Every team had an awesome logo back then
Weren't the jerseys made of raw wool back then?
Best part of ripping the cards from the early, mid 80s.. It brings us right back to when we were kids ! just need some Duran Duran playing while opening this up. Men at Work!!
Listening to yr home-team's games on a.m. radio in the 50s-80s has to be one of the best, most pure American experiences ever! Fun break.
@14:49 that third player with the blue and white strip you are looking for is Frank White, Kansas City Royal great.
Wade Boggs looked like the oldest 24 year old.
Wasnt "Eddy Harris" from the movie "Major League" based on Gaylord Perry? Thanks again Jabs! 🙏
He’s the best part of that movie in my opinion. Cracks me up every time. Used to watch it with my grandma on a regular basis
Great video. Excellent commentary
The Ryan/Koosman RC has got to be the rookie card that represents the most wins. 324 for Ryan and 222 for Goodman for a total of 546 Career Wins. Koosman didn't have a HoF career,but he's kinda borderline. He has the 94th best JAWS among every starting pitcher in history. And in 1979, he led the league in Pitching WAR. I think even without Ryan on the card, it would be considered a noteworthy card in the 68 set.
Love the "2 Photos on Every Card!" from the front of the box lol
Loved watching this video! The ‘83 Fleer George Brett was my first PC card. Thank you for the memories!!
First packs I remember opening as a kid were 85 Topps
My monthly junk wax subscription box came in recently with a single ‘83 Fleer pack. I pulled Tony Gwynn! Hard to imagine paying over $300 for that entire box and not getting one TG. Nice box though with some nice pulls.
I broke a 1992 jumbo box of Bowman for $440 and did not pull a Piazza or Rivera. I was very frustrated to say the least.
Thanks for doing this Throwback Thursday break Jabs. Love the 83 Fleer set and the grey color. One of my favorite sets from the 80's. Really enjoyed the past thirty minutes and going down memory lane. Set was released when I was 10 and my parents did buy me some packs.
I remember buying 84 Fleer Rack Packs at the corner store.. 10 years old..
Awesome box!!! 83s
Nice how Fleer finally figured out how to take decent pics!
These are a special set of cards for me. These & 83 Topps were the 1st cards I ever bought. My favorite card ever is the "Smith Bros" card which I still have even though it's in bad condition from keeping it in a show box
Ron "babyface" Kittle. ROY. Dropped bombs
Champ summers was a Vietnam vet and was kind of high strung. He was a platoon player with the Reds in the late 70’s
I first bought donruss packs in 86 didn't take care of them, then in 88 I started buying again and got my Dad interested in the hobby again and we collected this set, my card shop was selling packs of these for $3 a pack. Love this set
Love the vod
Very few doubles.
Hey jabs, i stopped by his store and bought the other fleer box. It had the gwynn and its in perfect condition. May be a 10. I cant find a defect and its centered. Just to let you know, that box didnt have any sandbergs or boggs. Had mostly everything else though. Thanks again for the video
I have the set. Got screwed because a beer can I traded is worth 700
Dave Dravecky still had two arms in 1983.
Thanks for the fun rip Jabs! Always appreciated sir! 🙏
Cards were kept well. I don't know if I ever saw a double. Great corolation!
Love the vid Jabs!
I was an equipment guy for 8 years in a top tier league. Hate kids and or family in the locker room!!
Burt Wooten and John Wockenfuss B2B.. send that off to PSA
I was always a fan of the Kelloggs cards from the early to mid 1970's because they had the small picture on the back of the card. So when these came out, I thought this set was great.
Rough luck but still a great video!
Me as well. My friend 1989 was my introduction to sports cards which lasted about 4 or 5 years but back then the market was mass produced. It destroyed the hobby. I got back into it 3 months ago. I couldn't believe how hot the market is. It shocked me
Love that tom Seaver card
I posted them last night, but with the pull, it is worth saying again.
Wade Boggs was insanely great at hitting a baseball. He had a season in 1988 that is absurd. Got on base, WELL over 300 times and struck out like 34 times. He went from 1982 (about 100 games)-1989 with an average of .352
When I say he has a case for being too 3-5 all time as a pure hitter, that isn't hyperbole. Since he started his career, there are 2 others on or above his level. They are Tony Gwynn and Ichiro. That's it. Historically, I don't know. Cobb is the greatest pure hitter ever based on stats alone, but I can't speak to the level of competition or difficulty. If anyone can tell me the names that keep Boggs out of the top 5, I'm all ears. And I mean PURE hitter. Not who combined a good average and power. Just based on bat hitting the ball and a positive outcome resulting.
Here's another great Boggs fact. He never struck out as much or Negan more than he walked. In fact, the norm was he would have 100 something walks and maybe 50 or so strikeouts. I think his worst season he struck out like 65 or so times.
Last fun fact. Boggs was EXTREMELY superstitious. He would eat fried chicken before every game. But to take it a level further than possibly any player before or since. If he had... Er... Companionship... The night before a game and he had a good day. He would... Umm... Become reacquainted with the same lady before the next game.
I hope I kept that PG. But it's Boggs. And it is really hard to tell clean stories about Boggs. What a character.
Great video thanks for sharing it keep up the great job for hobby
Ranger Ade and " Hated that guy for no reason" 😂😂
Hi Erik, great video. Like everyone said, it's a trip down memory lane. You pulled some awesome cards in this video. Thank you.
Total win
Awesome as always
Spending the night in Johnstown, hitting this place up tomorrow before I head back to North Carolina
Great Store, Mark was wonderful!
What an awesome set. Loved these when I was a kid and still do
Jerry Koosman is noteworthy (if you want to call it that) for winning 20 games in 1976 (21-10) and losing 20 games (8-20) in 1977. I don't believe he's the only MLB pitcher ever to win and lose 20 games during his career, but he's probably the only one to have those totals in back-to-back seasons.
Nolan Ryan had his hands behind his head because he was under arrest for going over the speed limit!
Charlie Hough looks a sprightly 43 in that photo
Look at how utterly old these dudes look like Gaylord Perry, Don Sutton and even Tom Seaver - it just blows my mind - because I'm older than they are in those pics - and I cant sit down and go out and have a beer without being ID'd by some kid that is young enough to be my kid, lol.... Look, I'm no angel - I've done my fair share but these dudes look like they're 20-30 years older than they are.... I mean Gaylord Perry is like 40 - he's three years younger than I am and he could be confused for an elderly "ball boy" pretending like he's NOT filing down baseballs in the dugout, lol...
It just blows my mind how old these guys look that played in the 60's and 70's - regardless of the sport... I'm mostly a hockey guy but even hockey has their guys, like Alex Delvecchio, Jim MacKenzie etc.. They look like they're in their 60's when they're in their late 30's or very early 40's... I mean WTF was in the water back in the day?? are we evolving or something?? lol...
Sorry I was just looking at that Gaylord Perry card the other day and I'm 43 - yet if I told someone this is a picture of my grandpa yesterday - people would believe it despite the fact he was 41 in that card....
I just find it interesting how old these guys look.
I like the sticker design better than the base design
When I think of Jerry Koosman, I think of his time with the Twins
Wonder what the origin of the name "Mookie" is? Doug FLynn got the nickname "The Glue" (of the Big Red Machine - ha)
1983 Baseball Cards, I got out of the hobby in 83. I Graduated from High School; 813 Seniors graduated and it was held in the Reunion Arena in Dallas Texas Texas
Ok, give Gaylord Perry a break - the stress of nailfiling baseballs really took it's toll on the guy.... Imagine the stress - it would turn anyones hair grey and make them look like you remember your grandpa looked....
Lot of the cards are off center.
Lol. Why did you hate Frank Tanana?
I think I just thought his last name was weird
You know quality control is bad when even the card on the front of the box is off center
How does Gaylord Perry look like he is 75 in that pic.
first!
Not trying be a jerk but calling players being different tries hall of famers is a slap in the face to players and to the administration of hall of fame. Players and the voters do not look at players elected like that. When you are in the hall of fame you all are one of the greatest to play the game. It doesn’t matter if you are Babe Ruth, or Bruce Sutter your enshrined as the greatest because only 1% of of players ever to play the game are in the Hall of Fame.
Lighten up Francis
First. I love your videos and can you pin me please
