The first set of cards I remember buying. I love this set. My favorite of all time. The most colorful lovable set of cards IMO. Remember getting Bob Gibson & Johnny Bench in the same pack, what a thrill.
I believe the ‘75 minis were primarily sold as regional tests. In my small town in Ohio, the minis were the only ones you could find in the 4 or 5 stores that sold cards. No regular sized packs to be found! Weird. Thus; all of my 75s were minis until I started to go to shows and “discovered” they made large ones too! 😂
@@markmcquown6712 That is strange, I didn't know about 75 minis till Sports Collectors Digest and only seen some in person a couple years ago at a show in Evansville, In. This dealer had several hundred but they were very off center and very expensive as compared to regular 75 Topps.
Where to even start. The Steve Busby card at the end is actually Fran Healy, TOPPS made a mistake. Several players in those packs are now deceased, including Steve Kline, Chris Cannizzarro, Bob Moose, Paul Blair, Jim Bibby and Paul Casanova. Back in the days before photoshop, Topps had an artist who would paint over the original photo plates if a player was traded during the off season. These players uniforms appear a bit cartoonish. Examples in these packs include Joe Lis, Ken Sanders, Ross Grimsley, Nate Colbert, Mike Wallace and Steve Kline.
This is one of my favorite sets of all time bc of the rookies and the design is unique especially for the time. I have 606 of the 660 set including the Yount, Brett (both PSA 7) and Hernandez rookies. Not the mini set the standard set
When you re-seal the commons to re-sell, you need the cards with the gum stuck to them. It gives the appearance of being authentic / mint / unopened and such...
Stop opening the packs slowly so you can reseal them after looking through the cards. Another telltale sign is leaving the gum attached to the first card so you can put it back where it originaly was so as to make the pack look legic. I hate scammers.
Never order of those wax packs they are compromised they’re opened up and resealed with a warm iron. Can you Cantel if it was opened before you purchased
Jim Nettles at 5:20 is the brother of the better known player Graig Nettles. Not many who remember Graig will admit they remember he had a brother who made the Bigs.
Fun to watch you open these! The Schmidt came out nice and about as good as anyone could hope for when opening vintage packs! Did you determine if it was grade worthy and send it off? If so, any results you could share?
@GiantsJets718 You are a disgrace. You will pay for it one day. Talk about traitors to the country - liberals who want to put America's people at risk. Simply put, if you don't like this President or our country - get out. I'm sure you'll stay and collect this nation's benefits though, won't you. Now who's the traitor?
I opened boxes and boxes of this stuff back in 1975, and now I have a full set after filling in about 20 or so common cards that I was missing. It's an O Pee Chee set though.
Nate Colbert's 1975 Topps card at 5:16 has him with the Tigers. He played for San Diego in 1974 but was traded to Detroit on November 18th, 1974. So that Tigers card had to be printed after that, using a photo where we really can't tell anything about the uniform... very generic. I find stuff like that interesting.
You can tell some things about the uniform if you compare it to others. There are a lot of changes that went into making cards. Often times you can see that the caps were painted to match a player's new team.
I once tried to eat gum from an 10 year old pack of baseball cards because I heard gum has a very long shelf life. It instantly liquefied in my mouth and was disgusting
Thank you for sharing. As it brings me back to a young boy.The second to last pack you opened, I feel like I had the same sequence. As I remember the Madlock then Matlock right after each other. And possibly the Schmidt few cards after. Though he was still young, so I didn’t appreciate him yet. But I was a Mad dog and Matlack fan. Also mine were minis as well, growing up in California. I believe Ca. and Michigan were the only 2 states to distribute the mini’s. Though I am sure to be corrected if I am wrong on that. May Jesus bless you my friend.
Did you find a CENTERED #647 Claudell Washington? The green/yellow bordered cards all seem to have centering issues but the Washington card is the most difficult card to find centered.
Really? He was my favorite player in the 80s for some reason. My grandmother and i watched all the braves games and for whatever reason he was my favorite. I know i have a bunch of his cards somewhere. Did you know he is the player in ferris bueller that hits the ball that ferris catches? Well, the footage they used was of him.
I have to call "resealed" here. The flaps on the back are too flat, crisp, and stuck together too well to not have been tampered with. Whoever ironed them shut should have turned down the heat on the iron, and used a towel and a piece of wax paper to absorb some of the heat and cover their tracks on the pack itself. Also, dont buy old sealed product from me.
Looking at the folds on the corners they look way too good for something that had been unfolded once,as you well know if unfolded there is noticeable loss of color on the waxed paper seam.This is just my opinion
I'd call resealed too...except what does it matter? This guy, as others on UA-cam, open the packages so very carefully, not only because they don't want to damage the product, but because they don't want to damage the packaging which they themselves have every intention of resealing and reselling. These cards have probably been bought, opened and resealed on more than one occasion. It's just the nature of the hobby. Never, EVER, expect to get unsearched product, sealed or not. Just be glad the prior guy left the off center Schmidt inside. I'm guessing the next guy who buys this "sealed" box wont be so lucky.
I also have this complete set....all 660 cards....O Pee Chee of course because I live in Canada! But I still love the set because all of my baseball heros of the time were in it....Aaron, Schmidt, Nolan Ryan, and of course rookies of George Brett, Robin Yount, Jim Rice and Fred Lynn! Bought and opened all these packs when I was just 14 ! And I am making sure I'm buried with them when I go, LOL !!!
Fellow Canuck here. The 75 set is my favourite. It is loaded with all-time greats. One you didn't mention is Gary Carter. His rookie is also in here however it is a shared card with another rookie.
You pulled a Mike Tyson! A little over a decade later he would be winning the heavyweight championship of the world. Excellent find of his days as a baseball player!
I bought two 1975 Topps cards on eBay. Bob Gibson #150 and Tom Seaver #370. They’re both from the same seller but the Seaver seems like it on a very slightly slimmer card stock. Has anyone noticed different card thickness in card stock amongst 1975 cards. They’re both the USA Topps version and not O Pee Chee.
dice341 George Foster was a beast. I was in bleachers near CF in St. Louis when he crushed a ball a mile high that carried into the turf beyond the wall. It carried and carried and....
Too bad that Schmidt is a bit OC and has the fisheye on it. Probably wouldn't grade out to great. Thanks for sharing these. Not sure I would have the nerve to rip a box of these.
Do you people actually think these wax packs are not opened up before they sell them there we sealed with a warm iron and you can’t tell if they were compromised never buy a wax pack always buy packs that are in foil.
Nirvana would be finding the Brett or Yount rookie on a rack pack, front facing. First cards bought were packs of 1976's. Even wilder, remember sending $9.99 to Renetta Galasso for "1,000" cards & receiving (heaven!) a box of (24) 1979 rack packs. Who knows if the Ozzie Smith I landed was showing. I do know this: that was baseball card heaven for a (14) year old. A side note: 1979 racks were imperfectly large sheets of plastic strips, divided into four parts. (top w/ad card being "rack ready" w/prepunch)😇🇺🇸
I could be mistaken, but those look like '75 minis. In 1975 Topps made a regular sized set and a mini sized set. Judging by the size of your thumbs I'm assuming those are the minis.
1975. Great year and decade for collecting!. Love the vintage cards and designs. Can’t beat it. Thx for sharing .
welcome. thanks for the comment
Awesome! I can just imagine how fun it was to open those packs! Thanks for sharing those awesome pulls
i have always loved the 1975 topps issues
I remember I bought a 80-81 basketball pack at a card show for 1.50, just bought 1 pack and of course I did get the Bird/Magic Rookie card
1975 Awesome year, love the mini set as well, great Vid.
The first set of cards I remember buying. I love this set. My favorite of all time. The most colorful lovable set of cards IMO. Remember getting Bob Gibson & Johnny Bench in the same pack, what a thrill.
I was 3 when this set released. Thanks for filming this. It was fun to watch. You pulled a Mike Tyson!!!
I start collecting in 1970, but I never remember seeing any 1975 minis for sale in my area.

I don't trust old packs. Too easy to open and reseal.
I think you would get more view if you tried chewing the gum.
With it still stuck to the cards
Looks like you're ready to reseal the packs.
Wouldn't be surprised
Where to even start. The Steve Busby card at the end is actually Fran Healy, TOPPS made a mistake.

Steve Kline is not dead; not only is he alive, he's currently the pitching coach for the Sacramento River Cats.
This is one of my favorite sets of all time bc of the rookies and the design is unique especially for the time. I have 606 of the 660 set including the Yount, Brett (both PSA 7) and Hernandez rookies. Not the mini set the standard set
I love these videos where do you get you wax
Every actions represents a person who reseals packs......
!975, the golden age of baseball. Go big red machine.
Yeah...and he just whizzed right past the George Foster card. Go figure?
The value of these packs now... OMG!
Which card is the best in this series?
When you re-seal the commons to re-sell, you need the cards with the gum stuck to them. It gives the appearance of being authentic / mint / unopened and such...
Ouch
I'm sure he does that,he knows.
These were good pulled variety, I never get these pulls. You got an AL All Star Carlton Fisk of the Boston Red Sox
I’m here for the enjoyment,, casual collecting since 71,,,
This is pretty awesome man.
Please chew and review the gum!
Keep up the great wirk
This is the best Topps series of all time! Have the Whack Pack 1975 card called Beastball. Creepy Cards with shocking bubble gum
Cool coincidence on the last pack , you pulled Steve Busby & Tom Grieve. Both are commentators for the Texas Rangers TV games.
Busby had a couple of no-hitters in his early 20's. Another pitcher from that era who threw too many innings at a young age.
Every kid back then wanted a Rose or Reggie!
Stop opening the packs slowly so you can reseal them after looking through the cards. Another telltale sign is leaving the gum attached to the first card so you can put it back where it originaly was so as to make the pack look legic. I hate scammers.
love that fresh wax krumble noise ,lol wax pack noise sound like thunder! paper!
amy reaves only noise in the video. Lol
75 is maybe my all time favorite Topps design bc of the colors. Fun to watch these old packs get opened. Where did you get the box?
Never order of those wax packs they are compromised they’re opened up and resealed with a warm iron. Can you Cantel if it was opened before you purchased
Ross Grimsley, Chris Cannizzaro, and Mike Wallace with the painted caps.
Mike Schmit and Carlton Fisk and you didn't even announce them?
Very neat. Great to see the old style cards/packs.
Jim Nettles at 5:20 is the brother of the better known player Graig Nettles. Not many who remember Graig will admit they remember he had a brother who made the Bigs.
I admit it!
Seem searched. Nice vintage rip thou, TY
Did you literally look at that Fisk card and shrug?! Cards probably worth 35 dollars as a PSA 9
Fun to watch you open these! The Schmidt came out nice and about as good as anyone could hope for when opening vintage packs! Did you determine if it was grade worthy and send it off? If so, any results you could share?
Thanks for commenting. I still have it ungraded and haven't graded any yet from these pack openings.
Talking can help to spice up your video a bit.
pat baron or chewing that gum
Especially when you pull a Dave Lemanczyk! Come on man!
It looks like you're going in slow motion and you're going to reseal them packs
I would guess about 95% of pre-1979 unopened packs are resealed. Most sellers are betting that you'll never open them.
I have a crap ton of 80’s unopened packs, and after opening a bunch…….I’m fairly positive they’ve all been opened
@@danevertt3210 unfortunately when card prices surged during the late eighties and early nineties not a lot of unopened packs were searched.
I’m a fellow youtuber, I wish there were more channels like this.
One of my favorite Topps card design years.
I enjoy the videos without excessive talking
Same
Your commentary is exhilarating
All liberals should watch this video and take note.
@@prizm2807 the reply of a typical illegal... That's ok buddy. Good luck anyway and good luck with your cards.
@GiantsJets718 Hillary is doing just fine with all that. Thanks.
@@prizm2807 What a disgrace to the military and this country. You should be ashamed.

I have a few of these cards. Including Hank Aaron and Robin Yount
You want a Robin Yount or George Brett rookies from that series. Big $$$$
I opened boxes and boxes of this stuff back in 1975, and now I have a full set after filling in about 20 or so common cards that I was missing. It's an O Pee Chee set though.
Aren’t they pretty much the same cards??? topps vs OPC??
No Dodgers, just like when I used to open those packs back in the day...

the wax wrap is worth more than the cards lol
Mike Tyson looked a LOT different by the time he won the heavyweight championship.
rclip213 😂😂😂
rclip213 good one....
You going to build the set? A decent box overall, nice to get three key rookies.
+topps85401 I might since I am getting near.
@@thecollector893 Hello, did you complete the set?
The Mike Schmidt is a $37,000 card and he is like calm and cool.
Fantastic rookie card, nice pull!
The Carlton Fisk card is worth a few bucks.
Rhymes With Carbon maybe 10 years ago but not anymore. baseball cards are worthless these days sadly
Worthless? Well if you know anyone throwing Mike Trouts worthless RC cards in the garbage let me know, those are going over 300 on ebay without auto.
Probably 50 bucks @ mint.
@@davefried just like your knowledge, ,,,,, WORTHLESS!
Did you find a CENTERED #647 Claudell Washington? The green/yellow bordered cards all seem to have centering issues but the Washington card is the most difficult card to find centered.

Fisk, Mike Schmidt, George Foster. Nice pulls!
Honestly, I would of been ok if you only did one pack per video. cool stuff! thanks for sharing
Did anyone really collect these minis back in the day?
Mike Tyson!!! LOL great baseball name..... George Mitterwald looks like he's crying LOL. Love the Schmidt card and the Fisk.

Man, the stick of gum was always the best!
Not anymore. Lol
I bought a box and pulled a Bobby Ojeda rookie card!!!
You pulled a Mike Tyson! A little over a decade later he would be winning the heavyweight championship of the world. Excellent find of his days as a baseball player!
Sorry that's not the "iron" Mike Tyson. 👊✊♥
Are the minis smaller in value? I have 1987 and 1988 unopened minis.
wow, don't hold back on your excitement too much.
any chance you don't want those wrappers ? I would love to add one to my pc.
In 1975 every kid wanted either a Reggie or Pete.

Lol
Good eye LIL BUDDY, still has the same smirk he had after maryann sat on his face.👅
Those are minis aren't they?
nice set i have 1987 TOPPS Cards
1 of those packs are worth more than my entire collection.
Fun!
Try to eat the gum…maybe that will ignite something!
Love the cards good job
You open the packs like your at a tea party.
4:08 one of the best heavyweights :D

Get with the program dude.
How much did each of the packs cost?
the entire box costs around $3,500.
maybe $100-$200 a pack
