That Mattingly rookie was one of my holy grails growing up!! Finally pulled one a couple years back! Love your content - keep it coming!
Crazy you pulled an already-graded GEM MINT Mattingly and Strawberry out of 1984 Topps packs. Surprised they fit in the packs.
Want to see the 84 Donruss that's my favorite never got open a pack was rare to see it! Hopefully you'll get one to show us
Don't feel bad about not being able to get '84 Donruss. The collation was horrible. I was 14 at the time, and remember pulling doubles constantly.
This video was awesome. Love the 80s cards. I'm a huge Mattingly fan. So, I bought a 1984 Topps pack at a flea market in 1991. My dad wanted to open it. He then started rattling off a bio and stats. I was like, that's Mattingly! He pulled one! I was excited but also upset I didn't pull it. Haha. Best memory of purchasing an older unopened pack. Luckily I still have it!
You took me back in time...those were such great cards...and lot of my favorite players...thank you for taking me back!!! Enjoyed the rip
2 of my favorites as a kid. Great rip!
I have every set from 1975 to 1996 ( yes i could be talked into selling them) and my favorite is the 1984 layout. I love cards before the refractor and such was started. To me old cards is the real definition of collecting cards. Age of refractors, numbered cards, autos and patch cards are too commercially done.
As for as sets, i have burger king, mcdonalds, toys r us and ames store complete sets as well. That was the meaning of collecting sets. No ebay in the 80s to buy them. You done sets the old fashioned way.
It went from boxes and packs to scratch off tickets.I didnt like the change either but the existing model was dying. They needed a cash grab and putting winning lottery tickets inside of packs was a good marketing idea.
@tortureyou the powers that be got greedy and still are greedy. Thats why I stopped collecting cards in the 90s and started coins. Better odds with coins and higher payouts. And less risk of losing money cause in coins, you recycle your coins looking for errors. All that's lost is the gas to the bank.
Loved it . I’m old school .
I collect mainly non-sports but I put everything in a penny sleeve. I am a firm believer in protecting everything. 1984 Topps commons may not be worth a lot today, but in 50 years they will have substantial value.
owned a gas station from 1980 to 2005. I remember buying these boxes for 7 bucks each. They would also give us incentives for buying from Topps like free sealed sets or uncut sheets as well. Still have most of it.
That Mattingly looks perfect
Kirk Gibson hit a series sealing Homerun in the ‘84 World Series as well.
I was 5 and this was the first pack of cards I ever opened. 1984 Topps, was trying to get a Nolan Ryan lol. My dad convinced me that if I took care of all the cards I pulled that someday when I was his age I’d be rich or close to it. I have a raw card collection from the 80’s and 90’s in Mint condition straight from the packs to a hard top loader if it was a player of any significance. I don’t think there is a rookie card from Topps that I don’t have during that era. I completely missed the 2020-2021 boom or whatever it was where prices went nuts during Covid lockdown. I never stopped working but either way it got me to pull all that stuff out of storage and find out most of my cards are worth little to nothing lol. Thanks dad!!
All kidding aside I just need to go through them and find cards that will grade high to send them in to PSA. Seems like a daunting task though and expensive to send in so maybe I’ll try to get in on some bulk submissions with the sports card investor lol
I wanted to throw heat like Ryan. He’s still the GOAT pitcher
So fun!
maybe Nolan Ryan was in the Topp Corner of the Sheet what i was thinking.??? i also got lucky enough to buy a bunch of topps sets from a collection ive been working on for years buying after a mans passing... he was actually my 4th grade teacher... so we use to keep cards in our trapper keepers 3ring... and talk Baseball Cards in Class... later in life i ran into him at my LCS... and got his #.... so i started going to his home and buying little by little a few hundred at a time... as he was liquidating his collection as he knew he had Cancer... and he eventually passed... and i continue to go up there and buy off his wife that is stihl alive.. and has most of the collection left.... minus my years of looking and 🍒 picking... Its Added Alot to my collection... and I treasure alot that i got from him from the 1979 Topps Set 1980 1981 1983 1984s i bought at the shop i saw him at actually.. a couple 1985 sets and i think i had like 10 Mcgwires USA at a time... a few 1986 topps Set and 1987... the 1988s when things really went sideways i think and that 1988 set is weak... but anyways Jordan Beam Teams and all kinds of Goodies.. Miss that man but i carry on his Legacy
One of my favorite sets! I started in 1986, also one of my faves with the wooden border. I like that you pointed out in our day it was about sets. Of course individual players, favorites, but I have binders of sets because that was a focus. I just got back into "collecting" and boy, oh, boy, have times changed; I can't keep up!
Kirk Gibson hit a big home run in 1984 World Series too
PSA has the same standards but with the introduction of AI that can detect spider creases that even a loupe couldn’t even see is a much tougher grading. I have seen them 1-2 grades lower all year than previous. Now that they will introduce the date each card they have ever graded on their website, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the value of previously graded cards. A PSA 9 from two years ago may very well be a 7 or 8 today.
Love this set! I was 11 years and have boxes of Topps 83-85!
well said. ONE MORE REASON THAT EYE APPEAL truly is all that matters. grading is so transient but eye appeal is a constant
During the Covid panic I ripped a box of 84 topps. The most valuable thing I got out of it was the empty box, which I sold for $20 plus shipping. It was then I figured out that almost no junk wax cards are worth sending to PSA because of printing imperfections.
I pulled that Don Mattingly back in 1989 when I was 9 years old, started me in a hobby I’m still into today. Great pulls, and Merry Christmas!
This was a fun video to watch
One of the BEST wax boxes of the 80’s. Average is about $500+ and worth it, especially if you just buy and hold it. There’s a few on Pristine Auction right now in auction. Great rip!
In early cable it was Braves or Cubs.. we followed the Cubs but I was always a Detroit fan my Wife loves the Cubs.
I think that the Nolan Ryan was a corner card on the sheet like how Ozzie Smith's rookie card was on a corner.
Nice box
I got to see the Pirates and Mets play at Three Rivers Stadium in 92. I loved Andy Van Slyke and that outfield was great! Bonds, Van Slyke and Bonilla, however Bonds could've been gone by then. Dwight Gooden was pitching that game. We have some camcorder footage of that game.
great rip alot of good centered cards and didnt really notice any gum stains on them which is a big bonus congrats on the Mattingly and the Strawberry's Rc's
In regards to a similar story I have like your Nolan Ryan’s you pulled…a couple years ago I opened I think 3 1987 Topps baseball rack pack boxes. In total I think I pulled between 6-8 Dwight Gooden cards…every single one had the same print defect and the exact same crease on the right hand side. Had to have been a pack out issue with that same card. I wish I would have kept them now…I think I threw them in the garbage. 🤦🏻♂️
One of the best designs, such a great year
Mattingly's rookies were legendary back in the late 80s early 90s everyone was looking to get them
Kirk Gibson was 1988 Dodgers vs As....
i have 2 complete Sets of 84 the Mattinglys i noticed one was definitely better then the other one... the coloring of the YANKEES is way better in one of them... i think its PINK basically... so coloring will be an issue on Grading
Underrated Box. slowly appreciating
Fun rip. Great nostalgia!
Nice trip down memory lane! Only guys I can think of u didn't pull was Gwynn, George brett, Robin Yount.
Very enjoyable show Geoff; Merry and Blessed Christmas!
‘84 Topps is a nice set. Didn’t know these were rare, as I’ve seen a quite few unopened boxes in my local hobby shops.
Obviously, Mr. Wilson is not very well educated about scarcity.
Memories!! Merry Christmas!!
Daryl Strawberrys rookie for me will forever be the 83 traded. Sick card.
It was Fun to watch You Down the "1984", Memory Lane, Congratulations! " Merry Christmas Geoff!"
The tree and decorations look nice. Merry Christmas everyone🎄🎅
There some really fun sets out there to build these days. Archives...Allen and Ginter. Even the Heritage series are geared towards sets builders.
That was pretty cool. Have a merry christmas and a happy new years.
What a great box of cards!
Fun rip, def reminds me of when I did it as a kid starting in 85. I would be curious to see what you get on them, as I have pretty much given up on sending in cards form 80's. I sent in a 84 Donruss & Fleer of Mattingly, that looked dead on and both got a 9.
just crack, send to SGC or back to PSA very inconsistent
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤❤❤❤
I love when you do the unopened wax box breaks.....
i like these old breaks. but tough getting good grades at psa
Ron Kittle. One of the all time great pound for pound hitters. Second year. I woulda loved that.
You sleeved a Tony Phillips but not a Tom Seaver or Robin Yount. Are you crazy.
I have a boxed complete 88 topps set, not worth alot unless you find the best ones and get psa 10 back (like everything else these days) but still cool I think.
That 84 Donny baseball was the big card when I was growing up in the late 80s.
Yea back then it was worth like 25 bucks and it was awesome to have 4 of them. Still have those 4 in the same binder I put them in back in 1984
Actually Kirk Gibson hit his heroic homer in 1988.
I collect 84 have the set and have the strawberry and the mattingly in a few others at PSA getting graded!
loved it
Nice box….takes me back…Gibby won WS in 84 with Detroit and 88 with LA
I love the andre Thornton in that mattingly pack! Haha
Cool
I have the same card in the cover of the vid but it’s psa 7 I just don’t know hm it goes for
Strawberry rookie was actually 83 Topps traded I’m pretty sure
Gibson hit hr in '88, 4 years latter
what was the psa rating on the Mattingly?
The ryan was probably on the top part of the sheet or bottom corner and got more exposure to areas
No sleeve for Seaver? wow
Ozzie Smith!!
Geoff saying it’s hard to pull all the rookies. These boxes were like factory sets lol
Detroit won the 84 world series
A FRIEND WHO WENT TO THE NATIONAL WAS TOLD BY A PSA EMPLOYEE THAT THEY WOULDN'T GRADE A 10 FOR ANY CARD BEFORE 1990.
Box’s of 84 are way to expensive but cool
it's actually a good value long term
Fernando V!!!!
The amount of hall of famers you skipped and didn't sleeve not to mention you mispronounced Yount is just criminal. And I'm not even from the 80's
Get over it.
I agree with you. But stop being negative
I expect better from a self proclaimed expert on sportscards.
@@franke981 pretty much what I'm saying
Come on guys, get in the Christmas spirit 😂
your finger got link from package hope u didn't mess up cards
Ya i skipped til the end, i mean i like cards but not for 48 mins
I am assuming that BCW is a sponsor, because you don't call it a "one touch" like everybody else.
What does psa 7 go for?
I saw Tug McGraw, country music star Tim McGraw's absent father.
Saw a bunch of Hall of Famers skip by.
I had just bought the whole '84 unopened set a couple of months ago for 15 dollars
30 cents a pack!!🤯
Sleeve Eddie Murray!
Let's go!
Hate to be a hater but there’s so much going on in this video I can’t get over it without hating.
First, we can clearly tell you weren’t collecting/following baseball in 1984. You mention people not worth mentioning and you skip over players you’d definitely note if you were following baseball then. Not a big deal but combined with everything else and you seeming to kind of pretend you know what’s going on is off putting.
Second, you think Gibson’s infamous home run was a couple years before 1984?! Wtff….
Third, your videos have a chance to be good but you make them constantly feel like an infomercial promoting anything and everything you’re invested in I’m sure it makes people not want to watch them.
Fourth, you said we shouldn’t expect a single PSA 10 out of an entire box of (1984) cards? Want to make a side bet on that?
Fifth, you say, as do a lot of people, that you aren’t expected to get your money back from opening old wax. Assuming you’re opening BBCE type boxes where there’s no noticeable non normal wear you have to be crazy. It’s too long to break it all down in a YT reply but so so wrong.
Sixth, Robin Yunt [sic]. You know what ‘Yunt’ rhymes with? Yea… it’s Yount. Brutal.
It was a solid box and you should do follow up videos with which cards you send off to be graded, what you think they’ll grade, and then the reveal once they come back.
Before anyone opens old wax what they should do is go through the set on PSA’s site or something equivalent and note who they should be looking for so they don’t have to redo it later and so they don’t miss any error cards for eg. Like you’re looking through this box and you never even mentioned Tony Gwynn?! That’s one of the cards you should be hoping for.
Gibson was not until the 88 series
Would ya look at that, just look at it yeah, would ya look at that
Ok now
Ryan Sandberg
1984 was JUNK WAX. Tiffany was the best cards to invest in
tigers won in 84
What’s with the ✂️
😂😅
Eat the gum.....lets hear the crunch.
Did you just say 1984 Topps is rare?! 😂😂😂😂😅. Actually 84 Donruss and Fleer is more uncommon
I just thought the same thing 😂
Pay attention. He said it's more rare than most topps box than other topps.
@@mattnowak9770There was tons of this stuff back then,and there's tons of it now.
Most likely someone at the pri😊n😊t shop corner dinged all the ryans and kept a couple mint stacks for themselves :)
Why anyone would pay close to 1000 for a 10 when I could buy it raw and pay 10 bucks. Lol. Raw is the way to go, old school and pure, the grading is overrated, born in 84, might have to buy a couple of these cards raw
Who the fuck is tony phillips
I’m about “to” rip. It’s “TO” Geoff!! NOT I’m aboutta rip! Geez! 🤦🏻♂️
That first strawberry is too oc on the back.
Yount Molitor Winfield Hoffers and 3k club, that’s gotta be a sleeve! 😊 granted these base are not that valuable but still
Wishing Merry X-Mas from Puerto Rico!!
ever heard of a box cutter?
I have had more cards damaged by those magnet card holders.
They will absolutely destroy a great card.
Ask big card collectors that have used them I used the exact same kind and they slide out the bottom manage to go in between the two plastic pieces.
Just trust me I have had thousands of dollars ripped away because damaged cards .
Even seen the magnets fall out of them holders and card go flying out.
It will suprise me if nobody knows this already because it is a fact that they ruin cards.
I would love to sue the maker of them lost a lot of money because they were made awful.
