    Great stuff Orlando. How I would love to go back to those times.

      Such a great time to collect with the addition of Fleer and Donruss. The 1980s are when I collected the most, although the 1970s are my favorites because that’s when I got started.

    Love it, Orlando! The 80s, mainly the 2nd half, are right in my prime collecting years as a kid! You picked great ones to represent the decade. Thanks for sharing!

    Great cards Orlando. I can’t argue with those cards you shared. I would’ve included Puckett in some way. He was a huge chase for me. 👍🏽

    • @ACollectorsDream

      Totally agree, he was a superstar

    • @whitesoxtom2657

    FANTASTIC 80s showcase here, Orlando! I’m glad to see the ‘84 Donruss as the Mattingly of choice! I might replace the ‘85 Topps Clemens with the ‘84 Fleer Update one (and add the ‘84 Fleer Update Puckett as well!). VERY impressive Bonds ‘86 Tiffany!! Although I’m a total sucker for Tiffany, I’m personally more partial to the ‘87 Donruss Opening Day Error for Bonds, as I like the exclusivity and low pop count - especially during an era when the printers were never shut off! 😂😂😂
    One more card I would include is a certain Billy Ripken card… 😂
    Awesome video! Right up my alley here!!

      I was thinking the same thing. Never know what 80s set Orlando will be featuring!

  • @PickerJimS
    @PickerJimS 3 місяці тому +1

    Nice! The 80s are my decade! You some great examples. A few others that I think should be in an 80s collection are the 89 Fleer Billy Ripken FF error, 84 Fleer Update Clemens and Puckett and 82 Donruss Diamond Kings card number 1 in the set, Pete Rose and it’s the first ever Diamond Kings card!

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for sharing! Definitely need to include those

    • @SlipKid1975
      @SlipKid1975 3 місяці тому

      The video was about the must have rookie cards from the era. Agree that Clemens and Puckett should be included but the Ripken and Rose cards aren’t rookies.

  • @vintageonvintage817
    @vintageonvintage817 3 місяці тому +1

    Great group of cards for the 1980s, I would probably add Sandberg, Puckett, and the Billy Ripken FF card.

    Hey Orlando, it's adam. I just wanted to say your collection is awesome! Thanks for sharing your amazing cards. I agree with you. The 89 upper deck Griffey and the 80 henderson cards are classic and a must for every collector.

  • @stevepulhamus2792
    @stevepulhamus2792 3 місяці тому +2

    89 Topps Randy Johnson, 85 Topps Kirby Puckett, 84 Topps Darryl Strawberry, I would have definitely included the 83 Sandberg also, I think you got everyone else correctly, some might be junk wax, but they are still must have cards.

    @Hodges1455 3 місяці тому

    Gave a video like. Lots of great cards here. The Griffey Jr. is an iconic card for the decade. Same could be said for the Henderson rookie which is on my want list. I don't ever recall seeing Joe Carter's rookie. It is a beautiful card. I will have to add that to my want list. Great video, Orlando. Will look forward to seeing your 70's video.

  • @CleanCheapShots
    @CleanCheapShots 3 місяці тому +1

    Those were some iconic cards you showed. I am going with Henderson as my favorite.

  • @RL3sports
    @RL3sports 3 місяці тому +1

    I agree with your list completely. I'd just add a Kirby for me. I loved the fat guys in the 90's. Gwynn and Kirby.

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Definitely need to include Kirby, he was awesome.

  • @fairweathercards
    @fairweathercards 3 місяці тому +1

    I love this topic. Great idea Orlando. I have all of these with the exception of the 84 Donruss Mattingly and Tiffany Bonds. I would suggest the 84 Fleer update set, specifically the Puckett and Roger. Thank you for including Bo Jackson. He changed collecting for me. I LOVE the Future Stars version Jackson! In my opinion the 88 Score traded of Craig Biggio is a must have, but take it with a grain of salt because I’ve been an Astros fan since 86. Great video! Respectfully- Shawn.

    Thanks for the video Orlando. Love the Henderson, I still have mine I got as a kid. I always wanted an 84 Donruss Mattingly as a kid but could never get one. I finally did as an adult. Thanks again for the awesome content.

    @Jeremy-VintageCards 3 місяці тому

    Hi Orlando, Awesome run thru of some of the great 80’s card. That Cal Ripken 82 Traded continues to increase in price. About only one on your list I’m missing. Just got to bite the bullet soon and snag one up! Have a great rest of your week -Jeremy

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Definitely need to get the a Ripken traded. Tough to find centered

  • @coreybondurant
    @coreybondurant 3 місяці тому

    Great cards. A lot of memories. I packed pulled the 1980 Rickey Henderson as a kid and still have it. I think the 81 Valenzuela RC could also be added because he was such a phenom that year. Thanks

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

  • @ACD1994
    @ACD1994 3 місяці тому

    Great cards and video, Orlando. The '80s decade starts and ends with 2; of the best, from the '80's. The Rickey Henderson 1980 Topps, and the Ken Griffey JR. 1989 Upper Deck.

    80s rookie cards are great. Easy and fairly cheap to get for the average collector if you're not going for a 9 or 10 in everything.

    Thanks for your opinion, Orlando. All great cards. They are more in my sons’ time frame and not mine, but I am a Mariners fan and I am targeting the 89 Upper Deck Griffey. Thx again.

  • @adamscardcloset9020
    @adamscardcloset9020 3 місяці тому +1

    Sandberg to a lot of people in 83 and Puckett in 85 are two that I would’ve included

  • @victornegroncards
    @victornegroncards 3 місяці тому

    Definitely would love to get a Donruss Mattingly & a Ripken rookie.

    @s.macintosh-jc9rf 3 місяці тому

    Hi Orlando,
    Thanks for your review of the important cards from the 1980s. It’s good to remember that not everything from the 1980s was junk wax.
    Hope that you are well and happy,
    Peter

  • @ChristopherHasenRedsFan1979
    @ChristopherHasenRedsFan1979 3 місяці тому

    Love the video!! Gotta object though you need Larkin in there for 1987. He is a HOF and one of the best shortstops in the 1980s and 1990s.

  • @PeterPiper2024
    @PeterPiper2024 3 місяці тому +1

    1983 topps Ryne Sandberg another banger and must have.

  • @CollectingMaddux1987
    @CollectingMaddux1987 3 місяці тому

    One addition would be Barry Larkin. Clear HOFer but often forgotten

  • @jeremygriffin205
    @jeremygriffin205 3 місяці тому

    Would include: 81'- Baines, Gibson, Venezuela, Raines & Sax. 83'- Sandberg & Strawberry. 85'- McGuire, Puckett & Davis. 88' Glavine! 89': Just the best draft class in MLB, NFL & NBA!!

    • @ACollectorsDream

  • @edsapp6678

    1989 Ken Griffey is not a rookie, sorry but true

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Many of these players have rookie cards other than their regular cards. I’m using the most popular” rookie” cards.

  • @jimmybacas8003
    @jimmybacas8003 3 місяці тому +1

    No '81 Topps Harold Baines rookie? 😁But seriously, I'd also figure out how to add a Randy Johnson RC in there somewhere

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Should include Baines and Johnson but for me they are secondary

  • @thinkblue7718
    @thinkblue7718 3 місяці тому

    Like a lot of people I'd also go with the kirby but I would also throw in the iconic 89 fleer billy ripken f face not a rookie but a must for me

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Definitely forgot Kirby, thanks for sharing your thoughts

  • @dusksfinds
    @dusksfinds 3 місяці тому +1

    How do you not include the 1983 Ryne Sandberg!
    No 1985 Kirby Puckett! Blasphemy!
    1981 Fernando Valenzuela is a nice cheap iconic player/card. Topps by far is the best.

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому

      Agree completely on Kirby. Ryno was also popular along with Valenzuela, but second tier for me.

  • @mikesbaseballcards

  • @jsd795
    @jsd795 3 місяці тому +1

    If you're talking iconic "chase" cards from the 80's you have to include the 83 traded and 84 Strawberry. The 84 was the definition of a chase card back then.

    • @ACollectorsDream
      @ACollectorsDream  3 місяці тому
