My mother bought me this same box in 1977 for Christmas. I opened every one of them and loved it!!!
Great video on How to turn $6000 into $500. Prices for these “unopened wax boxes “ are ridiculous. Even if you found every key card I don’t see how you could break even.
Absolutely.
Even if you get a PSA 10 of all the chasers you’re not recouping that money. Most those cards are 🗑!
You don't ' break even ' usually on most boxes u rip.
I've seen plenty of flawless and highest end stuff get crap .
It's a lottery ticket but vintage is in a special place especially that old . Really cool . I just bought a '77 set ..
@@capitalcitysportscards you probably bought the set for a lot less then the cost of a couple boxes because you’ll have to get a few to hit every card on the check list
@@c.j.t7269 - def alot less!
370 and its in excellent condition. Better than the box opening except the Dawson looks better. People love to rip boxes but the reality is its a waste of $$ really .
6 grand for a box w/ dups or 370 for entire set?
I've love to rip but it's soooo inflated and ridiculously priced . I've been flushing $$ into vintage sets as they hold value and VG investment..
Back in 1977, I remember paying 10 cents a pack for these at Walgreens by my house. They were never priced and the ladies at the register would say, "Well, 10 cards and 1 cent per card, so 10 cents".
Back when life was good
Dang we didn't and hadn't even heard of Walgreens in NC until maybe 🤔 the 90' s but I have had that happen to me in mom and pop store's around Greensboro NC.
I think it's awesome to see these old packs opened and to pull an Andre "The Hawk" Dawson fresh out of the pack is really awesome!! But.... the packs were basically $170 a pack for a chance to pull a big card!! I bought a BVG 7.5 NM MT Dawson rookie for just under $50!!
Royster. Thats an interesting pull. He was actually in the dugout for both Aaron's HR record and Pete Rose hit record.
Man, I’m confused. How can this box be worth anywhere near $6000 when the top four cards you can get out of this box in a PSA 10 don’t even sell for 3000 total. I don’t get it.?
I’m with you 100% on that, numbers don’t add up for me! I’ve opened $6k boxes before but there was a chance at pulling cards worth over $100k
Exactly.
I agree. It’s fun to watch but you could literally go out and buy individually the top 5 cards you can possibly get and still be wayyyy ahead of the 6k. Not trying to be negative. More curious
I agree and I wouldn't spend my money on it but if I was going to say a reason it would be that you have the possibility that you'll possibly get multiples of each valuable card instead
The only reasonable explanation would be to pull a few that are PSA 10, otherwise as a buyer/flipper you lose.
I had such a great time watching this! 1977 was the first year I collected baseball cards and I wish I had taken better care of them. My brother gave me two packs of 1977 baseball cards unopened for Christmas one year. No big stars out of any of them, but they were a joy to receive.
I liked the Boog Powell and Robin Yount cards from that set.
Why would anyone pay $169 for 1977 baseball wax pack?🤦🏻♂️Oh well to each their own. It was very fun to watch. thanks!
I agree with you. Bunch of dead money in the hobby
Thanks for watching!
I do understand that the less and less of these that are left, the higher the price will go, but 6 grand is a stretch for that.
For the actual love of the hobby, growing up in the 80s, I wish I had the money to just buy one for the joy of opening it.
I remember coming across boxes of these cards at yard sales in the early 80s. Shoeboxes full, unsleeved, all in rubber band bricks, and I would still buy them because I liked how that specific set looked.
Great opening. Sad it cost that much to see, but really fun to watch, and Im sure you got some joy from it.
As a little kid it was so cool to see the autograph printed on, it was nice to see those again.
Jim Gantner was a part of a great Brewers infield. My family got to know him as we put in his pier on Beaver Lake in Hartland Wisconsin. He was a great guy to talk baseball with. He lived just down the road from my great aunts home. Next month my great aunt will be 105 and still living on her own.
My God Michael, I feel for you. Nearly $1800 spent on 10 packs and your best card was a $10-20 Joe Morgan.
He obviously has money to burn. He could’ve probably got all the chase cards PSA 10 for 1,800$.
If I spend that kind of money on a pack from the 1970s, I am opening the pack myself. I've never understood paying someone to open your cards for you.
74 to 84 were the best sets ever to me.
Breaks like this remind me of my childhood. Running into the gas⛽⛽station⛽⛽ with my change to buy 2 or two packs of cards. 1977 had a really cool design as well. The team name across the top of the card in big letters. This was one of my favorite designs looking back now. The 1978's weren't bad either with the fancier cursive writing. The 1972 cards were also at the top of my list. But oh the all black cards from 1970 was it. Those were great but you NEVER EVER saw a completely mint card. The 70's bring back the "golden age" of card collecting for me. The 80's were also part of that, but you could see how the hobby was going downhill. Now I'm critical of these new boxes, cases, packs, that can run hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Just on the off chance of a 1/1 refractor card, or a autograph card, or maybe a Auto & Game worn patch insert card, again 1 of 1 or even 1 of 5? Back in the 1970's we just wanted our team. Our favorite players. Robin Yount, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, Gaylord Perry, in 1978 Paul Molitor's rookie card with was it Alan Trammell as well? Those days had some ICONIC players. Carl Yastrzemski, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, again so many more. Nowadays card collecting has gone from a normal standard kids hobby to a insanely high priced game of cat and mouse. You could say it's an investment. In many cases you'd be correct. Your betting some major money that a pack of cards, or a particular player or set, series or specialty card, insert or autographed card will be worth 5x's, 10x's, or maybe even 100x's the original value.
I remember when I was a kid going to the store buying these packs brings back great memories
I’ve been waiting anxiously for this for a while! I love the vintage breaks! Please do more!
This is the coolest thing ive watched! as a 9 year old kid from Chicago back in 1977 was my first year watching baseball and collecting cards, I was at Ben Franklin dime store with my step sister and bought a pack and in it was George Mitterwald Cubs and im super excited and then Manny Trillo Cubs and now this is the greatest thing ever! 👍 ⚾️
When I was a kid I walked into my LCS with $10 of my hard earned saved up allowance and I was looking at a few packs to buy when the vintage display caught my eye, as it always did. I've always loved vintage stuff that was just a tad before my time and the owner always noticed it. So that day he said that there was a sudden drop in prices in some of the cards I was looking at and he pretty much had to sell them right away...a George Brett and Nolan Ryan (record breaker). He said he'd give me both for $10 total even though he was normally selling them for ~$50 combined. Of course I leapt at that. His generosity allowed me to get 2 of my all-time favorite cards for a steal. Ok, so they aren't *that* valuable since they weren't mint condition or anything, but as a kid it was like I just won Mega Millions. I treasured those cards and they were always the top cards on my collection. I still have them. There's just something about vintage stuff that hits different. Now I do think that $6k for this set is wayyy overpriced, and it definitely looks like it was built with various packs from here and there, but it's still a super fun set to open. I just don't think the price justifies it because you can go out and buy the best cards and pretty much still have lots of money leftover. That's just my personal opinion, and I do love seeing these opened, but BBCE really monopolizes and pumps up the price of these like crazy and the prices will only continue to rise as the population goes down.
Love the story, thanks for sharing!
But back in 1977 cards were not worth that much. He overcharged you.
@@barrywainwright3391 I said when I was a kid and was looking at vintage. That was in the 90s when cards were selling and the cards were already around 20 years old.
Nice - didn't start collecting until 1978, but I remember these packs sitting on the racks next to the Star Wars packs I was after at the time....
I will enjoy the Topps Heritage 2026 set when these same cards are released again with our new stars. This was a really wonderful watch ... GREAT VID!
Who the hell at Topps would put the Brooks Robinson card against the gum?! Especially in hot garbage pack like that.
Love ur videos, but authenticed by BBCE 🤣🤣🤣
1977 box 33:20 the pack was clearly a reseal gum stains on both sides of the cards and half were flipped the wrong way. I would love to see what Bbce says about that
BBCE is complete horseshit, absolutely no safer to buy from them than a random box on ebay
Come on man, it was "authenticated" it even has a sticker with a guy's signature saying so. Obviously I'm being sarcastic. Anyone could make a f'ing sticker and call it good.
@@Drewzer154the cards flipped the “wrong way” isn’t uncommon in mid to late 70’s packs. The gum stain I can’t speak on, but the pack looked ok. He opened it quickly so you couldn’t see the roller marks or corner folds.
@@Drewzer154Steve Hart isn’t “any guy” that would make a sticker to say authenticated. He has decades of experience handling & verifying packs and boxes. I would trust him over pretty much any other person (maybe not Tim Monaghan) to authenticate my collection. Nobody is infallible.
Should've went clockwise opening the packs imo. That way Michael Coleman doesn't have to take the brunt of every pack with the indented edges. Just my 2c.
Pretty rough for the 10 pack buyer.
Any buyer, there’s not a card in the packs that justify the price. That’s what they sell for, but no big opportunity at that price!
A couple million for Pokemon cards!!! Wow, just wow!!! I wouldn't pay $100 for them!!
July 4 1977 is the day I was born. This is going to be so cool. I hope you get a awesome rookie.
Sorry but how is this worth 6,000? Sealed wax in my opinion is such a rip off. Sorry to sound negative, thanks for the nice vintage video Jabs!
Awesome video and content as usual Jabs. The thrill of opening old packs is priceless. It's the love of vintage cards with childhood memories. Thanks 😊
Wow!!! Nice walk down memory lane!!! I remember busting those packs open. I always liked hitting those All-STAR cards across the bottom. Such a good look. I can’t believe you blew right pass Greg L. that fast. I remember seeing him Blasting Homeruns!!! Damn I enjoyed watching this!!! Thank You 4real
Just ran across this and I am just getting a flood of memories as this was the first year I ever collected cards. 15 cents a pack and countless yards mowed I spent the entire summer trying to get all 660 cards.....I finally traded a bunch of cards for Carl Yastrzemski and completed the set. Mannnnn...this set had the rookie Mark Fidrych card. Thank you for this. Btw, I ended up selling the set off about 10 years later to this sleezeball card dealer who had an ad in the paper for about a penny a card. 15 cents may seem cheap, but remember that gas was only about 45 cents a gallon and mowing one yard may get you a dollar.
Glad that you found us!
That was an awesome break to watch. Love those old Topps cards..
Just think how many good graded vintage cards you could buy for $6,000
There are so many more valuable cards with this set, but I'd love to have a Dale Murphy rookie. I didn't start buying BB cards until '78 so when I saw Murphy on a '78 catchers rookie card, I thought I hit the jackpot. It wasn't until a couple of years later I found out Murphy had a rookie in '77 and this was actually his "second" rookie card 🤣🤣🤣
No 77 Rose 10s on Ebay. 9s are on and up almost $400.
Damn 6k? I paid $350 for a near perfect condition set.
I pulled a 65 mantle for 5 cents, it was 1965 and I was seven. If I close my eyes, I remember! 😊
A couple thoughts on why you didn't pull big cards for too many of the Better players. For starters you get 360 cards in a box but you probably only got 200 to 225 different cards. There were a lot of doubles. And it looked like this was one of those Frankenstein boxes. I say that because some of the gum was showing a lot of signs of moisture and some of the gum was exactly what you hoped you would find. But if this box was stored together for 45 years you would think all the gum would show similar oxidation in every pack. Of course Frankenstein boxes are super common. And for those who don't know what that is it's when somebody builds a box with random facts from different boxes so they have one wait box. Anyways it was a fun video.
this is exactly what I said, Frankenstein Box for sure……I am surprised he still pulled the Andre Dawson, I mean the others were really rough
This makes me cringe ! I opened a box of 2004 Topps! Was 25 Bucks! The box was all tapped up with masking tape and missing a couple packs! I wanted 2 save it but was so damaged on outside etc....It was less than a Blaster and almost 20 years old!...Got some really cool cards and it was quite a privilege !!! ....It seemed a lot like todays Bowman with numbered cards and inserts !!! ...Dang.....the centering on these cards were really good!....Alot of Us were not even born when this box came out! It is incredible !!!...Wow!!!...Thanks 4 sharing this my dude!!!
Nobody ever died from eating old gum,go for it
You went right by Ben Oglivie with no mention. Dude was a beast! One of the best pound for pound hitters of all time. That was a beautiful card.
What did he weigh 165? He was on some solid Brewers teams late '70's -early '80's who hit 41 HR'S in 1980.
100% pre-searched, pieced together box. Even the gum shows different temperature storage over the years from pack to pack.
You’re my favorite breaker to watch Jabs. Hands down.
Great rip! One of my favorites.
Love vintage .. just bought a '77 set..Perfect timing ..
Love this design….Thanks man, this was awesome 👍
"I'm gonna eat that gum!" .... 2 packs later "those cards are ruined by the mold from that exact same age gum!" 🤣
I still have the Mark Fydrich from this set .
Actually purchased in 1977 .
The one I purchased in a one touch years ago is stored away with all my other Tigers Rookies throughout the years .
1977 topps quality control > 2022 Panini EVERYTHING
Woof was this thing way too much money. Don’t get it.
It looks like the Don Aase might always precede Tom Murphy on the sheet.
It’s also interesting that the packs on the top of each stack have molded gum, but the ones at the bottom seem to have dry break-away gum.
$6000 = $166 a pack, $16 per card. No thank you
Got the biggest card in box going for 6.50$ on ebay
That one pack that the cards were everywhere was definitely opened before
I don't know if anyone else commented on this, and also don't know why more time wasn't spent by Jabs when he pulled the # 580 George Brett in the 1st pack opened and then the 2 Pete Roses.
They both were fantastically centered, and a 1977 Topps George Brett 580 PSA 10 sold for $9300 earlier this year and the 1977 Topps Pete Rose PSA 10 sold for $3300 in October 2021.
Jabs mentioned each when they were pulled in the packs, but that was it. He should have held each card on their sides directly in front of the camera to show how centered they were, and then had some info given to him at how much these 2 cards recently sold for in PSA 10 condition. Then, place then into One Touches.
Rookies are great, but perfectly centered Hall of Famers can be equally as valuable. Too many people are looking for vintage card PSA 10 rookies, and forget that vintage cards are very difficult to pull in PSA 10 condition because of how awful Topps cut their card sheets back in the day (in addition to the card stock they are printed on being easy to ding).
One reason, among all the other reasons, that cards are crashing in value, is because too many people are chasing unicorns.
There are 25 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson rookie cards PSA 10 in the 42 years since this card came out, out of millions produced.
Be happy with PSA 8-PSA 9 cards. It's more likely that's what you are going to find out there. And, don't spend $6000 on a 1977 Topps Wax box, ever, unless you have a You Tube Channel and are going to make all that money back by selling the packs to treasure hunters.
And even more important: buy vintage rookies and hall of famers based on their PSA Population Report quantities in PSA 9 and PSA 10 if you are looking to buy and potentially sell vintage high grade cards that are PSA 9-PSA 10 quality.
Wow, not worth the price of the box.
I wish comments were only shown if you clicked on them, I like to be surprised. Sort of like accidentally seeing the code card on Pokémon cards.
I don't think anyone expects to get $6000 worth of value when opening a box like this. At least you shouldn't be expecting that.
The hopes of getting Dawson, Murphy, Reggie Jackson , Munson ,etc in a Gem Mint 10 from PSA, two of those will pretty much be worth 5-6K . It’s usually a huge game, but that’s modern hobbies of vintage cards are
@@dustycheddar4261 I'm not referring to this video here, just buying these boxes in general, but it's complete insanity. Buying scratch-offs is a better gamble than this. God knows when the last psa 10 from one of the main cards was given out, and it certainly was not from a box like this, it would be a perfectly preserved raw card from a collection. You are probably never getting a psa 9 in a box like this, and the psa 9 Ryan, as one example, is 70 bucks. These packs were 180 each and grading is 20+ a card. Also, if you grade a lot of vintage these days then you realize psa was much softer years ago and all the people with 10s of old cards are lucky as hell to have been grading early.
@@cardboardu6019 Please, stop talking when you know nothing about the topic. There is a PSA-9 Nolan Ryan on eBay right now, with 23 bids and almost 3-days left, for $614.00
Ya for Rance Mulliniks on the cover! He platooned at 3B with Garth Iorg in the mid-1980s with the Jays and was a solid hitter, hitting .295 or higher more than a couple times.
You missed the last card in the first pack. It’s a league leaders card and it was stuck to the ninth card.
This was one of my favorite breaks in a long time. Some killer cards.....those Pete Rose All Star Cards were killer
I used to have this complete set in a binder. Traded an Earl Campbell rookie card and several others plus some cash to buy it off another kid back in the mid-80s. Sold it to a card shop later for not much money. What I remember is that it had Andre Dawson and Dale Murphy rookie cards. A decent set, but not the most sought after by any stretch of the imagination.
How do I miss this
I remember all those cards every player it's amazing Richard Sisk Pete Rose dog shooter Bob Apodaca I remember all these ball players as a kid I was 20 years old and I was collecting cards I have stuff from 71 all the way up till now amazing I I love the break I mean you know I would have bought in even if I don't get my money back it was just fascinating to watch the break you're pretty good
BBCE huh?
AS A FRENCH I HAVE A REAL PLEASURE TO SEE THE OPENNING OF BOX FROM '77 THE CARDS ARE FANTASTIQUE PERSONNALY I FINDED
The first cards I ever owned were a bunch of 1977 Topps that my dad gave to me when I was a kid. Got me into the hobby and I still have them all! Love this set
1977 Topps Baseball was an interesting set because of the first baseball cards of the Blue Jays and Mariners.
this was the first year i started collecting cards brought back memories
Erik have you seen the BBCE news lately. I would stay away from future purchases. Steve Hart admitted on video to authenticating a box that had some tampered packs.
Wow.
6000 for that box of cards you can buy the set for less than 300
Love that Andre Dawson rookie card
Gum stains should add value to the card.
I was at Cooperstown in 99' and seen Ryan, Brett, and Yount's induction ceremony! It was awesome! Igot bad sunburn that day!
Thats my "I'm getting old" moment for the day! 😂
Really enjoyed this!
I pulled 2 Cards out of 2 different fleer 2001's and I got a Jersey patch 1/1 of Fisk and a 1/1 of Yount bat used card when both of them played for the Brewers! That's when they just had been numbering cards for a few years and I love both cards and I have never even checked the Pop count on them because there better be a 1 of each Card!
@@user-is8oq9ss3e awesome! I love a good pull story!
That's called a dull blade
Erm, that box is not a "certified un-tampered with" box. That's not what that label means. That would be a FASC box and this isn't a FASC box.
BBCE wrap means absolutely nothing. Zero credibility now.
Last year REA had several of these 1977 Topps wax boxes From A Sealed Case at auction. Most of them sold for 7,500 to 8,000.
Nice ride down memory lane. Go Yankees !!!! Thank u
Year I was birthed.... Love the show!!! Keep em coming!!!
1977 Topps was the first year I bought cards as as kid.
Just built this set by hand at my LCS last week…
This should be a 600 dollar box. 6000$? Get outta here
so who resealed these packs they are very good
That was a fun one. Great reactions to the pulls.
15 cents a pack, the good ole days
I'd ALMOST offer ya DOUBLE that for a handful of em.... LoL 😂😂
Wisconsin I don't know how the cards could be worth that much money when you said some of the cards are stained because of the gum it is what it is I guess and people will pay for what they pay for it because they're interested in certain cards you said there was gum molding that was affecting some of the cards thank you
I think that was the last Brooks Robinson card
1977 empty Display Box still available?
❤
1977 empty box refund request. Email sent
Here's a little trick from the '70s: Put the card with the gum stuck to it in the freezer for about two hours. The gum will come off without any stains when it's frozen.
No hard feelings, but that box is no way worth that kind of money!
I’m 10 days late but these are the cards I love seeing I got my fathers cards and a bunch of great cards
That gum was not attached to the back of the Lamar Johnson card.....watch it again.
Love the airbrushed cards of the 1970s.
What rookie makes this box worth $6k again?
The price is the rarity of finding a full unopened seal box of baseball cards that us 45 years old, the value has nothing to do with the cards inside, and now that this box is shredded one less unicorn on the market making everyone's still sealed boxes go up in value. Never open sealed boxes you will never get your money back.
Send the gum to PSA to get graded
I love leftovers. Sometimes it's even better. Like lasagna for example! 😁😜
Claim prize? How do I do that?
Very cool Reggie from the year of his biggest career moment... Mr. October!
That box really got some mileage out of the Asse rookie card.
BBCE, gotta be a resealed box, 🤦♂️
I wish you would have shouted out Aurelio Rodriguez!!! The Glove!!! Go Tigers!!!
The math don’t math on this one.
I was 8 in 1977 , opened many then
Great video Jabs....thank you
Thanks for watching! Also noticed an imposter contacted you. I do not use telegram. Thank you!
@@JabsFamily I figured that and blocked them but thank you for confirming it.
