I remember seeing these in 1988 at card shows. Shame Topps didnt adopt this packaging from 1983 to 1993. I LOVE how nice the cards look too with the "Propaganda piece" taking the gum hit. +1 sub =)
If nothing else you proved that just because you get skunked when ripping an older pack, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been searched. Lots of packs are just duds straight from the Topps assembly line.
For a second, i was thinking, "how come he wasnt excited about randy johnson, probably in the early stages of his career?" Then i realized it was a different randy johnson who kinda looked like the pitcher of the mariners 😆
Eyyyyy What's Up SenseiDominoe! This Was A Very Cool Idea Topps Had In The 80s. I Just Wish They Would've Made These Tamper Proof Packs Standard Sooner Than They Eventually Did.
Yeah, I Do Like That Eisenreich Card & I Didn't Even Realize The Dravecky Was Also A RC. Thanks For Pointing That Out. Very Cool Blog You've Got There By The Way!
For the longest time I just assumed all 83 topps packs were cello. It was only in the mid-2000s I bought a box of 83 topps and was surprised they were wax.
That's Wild...I See That You're Located In Michigan So It Certainly Makes Sense. I Only Learned About These Test Packs Within The Last Few Years, But I Think They're Great! I Would Definitely Like To Open Some More Soon. Thanks For Checking Out The Video By The Way.
Hmm, while it's nice to open tamper-proof packs that you know aren't searched, aren't these packs like artifacts above and behind just packs? They're kinda rare, right?
I Appreciate You Checking Out The Video & Swinging By The Channel. Yeah, They Weren't Cheap & I Probably Should've Just Purchased A $100 Card Instead, But What Can I Say I Luv To Rip Packs.
You can absolutely complain. That was like every rack pack of this I ripped a few years ago. None of the RCs we want are in any. Same for 82 and chasing Ripken. It’s fun to rip old packs, but the cost is prohibitive because they’re all gonna be duds on the RC front.
Yeah, I Hear Ya Man. I Know It's Always Better To Simply Buy Singles Value Wise, But I Guess I'm Addicted To Ripping & The Chase Unfortunately. Thanks For Checking Out The Rip BTW.
Cal Ripken Jr., Lee Smith, and Dave Righetti second-year cards in the mix? This '83 Topps pack opening is a trip down memory lane! Best of luck finding those elusive rookies. Such a cool collection! ��⚾
@@thepinstripedtrailbeaver Woot Woot LOL! And, LOL - congrats on ripping something I have NOT had the opportunity to rip yet! Those test packs are tough to find 🙂
@@thepinstripedtrailbeaver my favorite manager of all time. led my detroit tigers to the world series in 1984. only manager to win the world series in the american league AND the national league. he wore number 11 and thats why 11 is one of my favorite numbers. beautiful card.
@@godisgreat8462 Yeah, He Played For 5 Different Teams Over The Course Of About 18 Years. He & His Son KGJ Even Played A Season Together w/ The Mariners In 1990.
I was disappointed in this video. If you wanted fresh 1983 Topps Baseball Cards why would you not just open wax packs? Instead you opened rare test packs. I'm sorry, but I could not finish watching this horrific event.

🤣 Yeah, This Particular Randy Johnson Played Third Base & Had A Career .267 Batting Average In The Bigs.
I’ve only heard about the 83 Michigan test packs. Never actually seen what they looked like. Very cool to see! Thanks for sharing!
Eyyyyy What's Up SenseiDominoe! This Was A Very Cool Idea Topps Had In The 80s. I Just Wish They Would've Made These Tamper Proof Packs Standard Sooner Than They Eventually Did.
I know those 80’s sets were 600-700 card sets but really thought you would pull one of rookies
That Was The Goal Going Into It, But Unfortunately It Never Seems To Work Out As Planned. Appreciate You Checking Out The Rip.
That’s cool, only 80’s cellophane I ever seen was hangers
The thrill of opening '83 Topps Baseball Test Packs is unmatched! Hoping to see those rookie cards shine tonight.
The Dravecky and Eisenreich rookies were pretty cool pulls.
Yeah, I Do Like That Eisenreich Card & I Didn't Even Realize The Dravecky Was Also A RC. Thanks For Pointing That Out.
Very Cool Blog You've Got There By The Way!
Four Michigan Test Packs from '83 Topps - now that's an epic opening! Hoping for some iconic rookie cards.
Opening '83 Topps Baseball packs for Gwynn, Sandberg, and Boggs rookies - that's a collector's dream!

@@thepinstripedtrailbeaver Had topps gone this way it certainly would have eliminated wax stains.
Definitely.
'83 Nolan Ryan is always a nice card. Not many of those packs unopened out there.
I Feel Like The Nolan Ryan Card Saved This Rip, Otherwise It Was Pretty Lackluster Overall.
Trash stuff
I don't know about that. One man's trash is another man's gold. 1983 is a great design.@@nickmele9968
@@nickmele9968 I’ll Take Any Nolan Ryan Cards I Can Get So I Guess One’s Trash Is Indeed Another One’s Treasure.
The nostalgia of opening '83 Topps Baseball Michigan Test Packs is real! Hoping you score that Gwynn, Sandberg, or Boggs RC.
🙏🙏🙏
Moooookie
Old guys like myself get a charge hearing the names of these players from way back when 😅
The Nostalgia Is Overflowing! Thanks For Checking Out The Rip.
Great video and packs of 1983 Topps Mr. Pinstriped TrailBeaver. You got some nice cards. Have a good one and Peace Mr. Pinstriped TrailBeaver.
Thanks So Much For Checking Out The Video Robert 🙏
Awesome Nolan Ryan and of course the Robyn Yount / Clu Hayward combo!

Nolan Ryan and slop on a plate.
🤣 Pretty Much
1983 was a beautifully designed card by Topps 👍
Yeah, I Luv The Design As Well. Thanks For Checking Out The Video.
Clu Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor. Vuckovich!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Such A Classic Movie! Thanks For Checking Out The Rip & Making Me Laugh.
Hmm, while it's nice to open tamper-proof packs that you know aren't searched, aren't these packs like artifacts above and behind just packs? They're kinda rare, right?
Fingers crossed for some legendary pulls tonight! ⚾🔥
Thanks For Checking Out The Channel & Rip
Man those are pretty crisp.
Yeah, They Came Out Looking Very Nice & In Fantastic Shape. Thanks For Watching Jess.
First time seeing this ripped on UA-cam with the packs not cheap. I have one of the wrappers but not all of them
I Appreciate You Checking Out The Video & Swinging By The Channel. Yeah, They Weren't Cheap & I Probably Should've Just Purchased A $100 Card Instead, But What Can I Say I Luv To Rip Packs.

not a bad pack if you ask me
Definitely Not The Best Packs, But I've Seen Worse. Thanks For Watching.
HAHAHAHAHA you got screwed
Pretty Much, Still Fun Though.
THE SPARKY ANDERSON CARD WAS THE BEST PULL IN MY OPINION
Appreciate You Watching The Video. I'm Always A Fan Of A Good Hall Of Fame Manager Card So I Was Happy To Add It To The Collection.

There are still loads of these available
@@zippewa 👍
Sorry I'm a compleatest. I like to have whole sets, packs, and boxes.

This is the sort of reaction I expect in todays overly sensitive world. Get a grip you sound pathetic😳
Those pack’s sucked
Yeah, Certainly Not The Best Rip, But It Was Still Very FUN.
Good luck on the hunt for Gwynn, Sandberg, and Boggs. Let's get those gems! ��⚾
Man those are pretty crisp.
