  • I bought an authenticated wax box of 1985 Topps to try and pull a pack fresh Mark McGwire Rookie Card. The card was once the most sought after card in the hobby and still sells for around $600 if you can find one that will grade out to a PSA 10. Check out this video and see if we can find it or not!!

    I love the 85 Topps design. I just got into appreciating some of these 80's cards within the past few months.

    Thanks so much for doing this break. It's a great education on what to expect if you spend the money for one of these boxes. We have been so spoiled in recent years with perfectly cut cards that we forget what the hobby used to be.
    Take care of yourself and your family.

    I remember going with my older brother to buy 1985 baseball cards. I like going with him because he would give me all the USA team cards because he didn't think they were worth anything. It was a few years later he tried to get those cards back from me. Becuase we found out that was McGwire RC. I gave him all of the team USA card back except the McGwire. Thanks for doing 1985 Topps, that brought back a lot of good memories.

    The Mark McGwire rookie card was my first baseball card EVER! My Mother bought it for me when I was 7! He was my favorite player and my Mother got this for my Birthday. That kicked off my card collecting from 87-92. Funny how one small jester morphed into a major era of my life. Thanks Mom. Love you so very much. R.I.P.

      Same. Not McGwire but Rickey Henderson rookie. My favorite player. We we're on vacation and went into some random souvenir/antique type shop my mom really wanted to go into and my dad and I just kinda tailed along agreeing at how neat all the crap my mom was looking at and there was a case with some sports items and one of them was a Rickey rookie in a fancy screw case plaque. Now I was freaking out showing my dad and doing the ol I'll mow the front AND back lawn all summer if he'd get it for me. He said sorry bud it's just too much money for a baseball card. This was in 88 or 89 and I think it was around 85 bucks. Ruined my vacation. Fast forward to Christmas and what was under the tree? He must went back and picked it up on one of his cigarette runs. Best dad surprise ever

    Watching these videos you post always bring a smile to my face. I started collecting in 1979 at the age of 7 when most of my friends were more interested in action figures. Back than you enjoyed just opening a pack in the hopes of finding your favorite player . Thank you Jabs family for your videos. It brings a smile to my heart in knowing that there is someone else besides me out there that collects cards for the love of the hobby and not just for personal gain. Keep up the great work. God bless you and yours.

    I really, really wish the Montreal Expos would come back (to Montreal). I loved their uniforms, just like I loved the St. Rams helmets and uniformas back in the day.
    Those "sealed" wrappers are so easy to open because they already were before you bought the box.

    I swear, you and I (and a few of your viewers) are the only ones that love and appreciate the 80's wax packs! Most card shops that I go into and ask about 80's wax look at me like I'm crazy 😕😃!! If they do have wax boxes, they're usually on the bottom shelf, at the end, with a thin layer of dust on them. I guess the young kids love the autos, patch cards, etc.

  • @mmhaley1975
    @mmhaley1975 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just came across this. I believe this box to be searched. Having 2 players in the same pack, the high "hits" (if a 9 or 10) being zero, no mattingly, no clemens, no puckett, no boggs, 1 mcgwire and it is no better than an 8. This is why always buy wax that was authenticated as pulled "from a sealed case" (FASC). Even then the case could be tampered and restacked but that is incredibly unlikely. If not from a sealed case they can be searched and then make to look like they were untouched and can fool the trained eye on occasion. I think this was one of those occasions
