I was 8 years old when these came out and I can remember my brother and I ripping many of these gems in that summer of 83. great memories. Thanks for doing this break Erik!
I love it! This was the first box of cards I ever got. It was a birthday present to me from my dad on my twelfth birthday. It got me into the Hobby and I've never quit.
Great video once again! Cannot imagine why people give your videos a thumbs down. First time I’ve ever seen the Dale Murphy 83 Topps. My all time favorite player. Deserves the HOF. I didn’t seriously start collecting until 1984 so didn’t get any 83. Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!
What an awesome break! I remember buying these cards back in the day....I was a manager at 7-11 from 1976-1993 ,and would sit these on the counter as point of sale! I would order boxes for myself at cost!!....very cheap
I remember that box. My father bought like 3 to 5 of those boxes for me. I had just came back from a vacation from PR and was like 8 yrs old. I wish I could go back in time and had saved those boxes.
Love ‘83 Topps design and Love the Ryno RC!! Glad to see one pulled! Along with 3 Gwynn RCs!!! Crazy! Congrats to Jonathan H for 2 of them, if anyone deserves em, it’s him!
i bought numerous boxes of these summer of ‘83, i played that scratch-off game, my friends all ate the gum, i had assembled two 1983 topps sets, had all those great rookies..
I was 8 when these came out. Gwynn is best hitter I ever seen play. But Sandberg is one of my favorite players. I played 2nd because of him love Cubs of the 80s. I enjoyed watching thanks
This is the perfect throwback Thursday for me. I had this whole set back in the day. Thanks so much for sharing. So many great memories here. Feel free to throw a few of these in my Patreon....lol
8:45 25:01 25:10 If you’re ever opening 1983 Topps packs and you want a Tony Gwynn RC, these are the cards to look out for….. Reggie Smith Marty Bystrom Joel Youngblood Harold Baines Luis Sanchez Bruce Sutter Bobby Mitchell Joaquin Andujar Billy Sample
I just love the WEALTH of knowledge you have. You're killing me with these AWESOME obscure insights and raw facts. @18:53 is classic. Thanks for an entertaining show!
Topps 1983 is the set of cards I used to play imaginary games with. So mine are mostly beat up! Loved the design of these cards! Have 3 Ryne Sandbergs and Wade Boggs somehow in most likely PSA 7.5-9.
Just watching you open this box and seeing those blue packs of baseball cards bring back so many memories for me!! I used to go back and forth to Dales Liquor in Carson California on my bike to buy these almost everyday! Anytime i got my hands on spare change laying around the house it went to buying cards! Haha! The Good ole days!! Thanks for this Eric!!
I really enjoy watching these breaks. And thank you for taking extreme care when handling the cards when placing them into the one touches. I see other breakers that make me cringe when they handle cards.
I remember as a kid I mowed my parents lawn every weekend for half a year to save $60 so I could buy that Ryne Sandberg rookie from my local card shop. It was magical walking home with that card in my pocket.
Those cards are still a steal even at 400 dollars. I had this year of cards in my teens in my later years of collecting. It is one of the best designs ever in my opinion. These cards are beautiful. You should buy like 10 boxs of these for the future. I doubt they will be 400 for much longer
This is the set I grew up on so to speak. I really remember collecting this set hard the summer of '83 when I was 12 y.o. I actually think it's one of the more beautiful sets of the 1980s, this one and the '84 Donruss.
Awesome again J-Fam ! Stay in the game and Please keep slapping me in the face with my childhood ! Love it ! And FYI every time you pulled a good card a commercial popped up before the reveal !! Lol !!
I have this case unopened! My dad worked for a company that delivered cards and magazines to stores back in the 70s and 80s! I have many unopened cases! Not just baseball and sport cards! I may do a podcast one day lol! My mom and dad have passed on so I keep these things in boxes!
I was 12 when these cards came out. They were a blast to open but I always preferred the rack packs and cellos because the wax packs were annoying when they stained the cards and I didn't care much for the gum. Great set that should have had way higher value
Some checklist cards are worth more than the others you get some of those old hockey checklist cards from the 60s and you're talking some pretty good money
Nice. I would probably grade all 3 Tony Gwynn cards PSA-8. Dale Murphy was my favorite player when I was growing up. He was also A-Rod's favorite player growing up, hence the reason A-Rod wore the number 3 with Seattle and Texas. Dale Murphy hit 398 career home runs and his path to Cooperstown was cursed by two things. He never played in the World Series. Then, when he was up for voting, he was plagued by the juicing (steroid) era in which players started hitting 50+ home runs per year and amassing 500+ career home runs with the help of steroids. So, true clean players like Dale Murphy were cast to the wayside as an afterthought. If you ever catch a game in Atlanta, try to visit his restaurant at the Cobb Galleria named "Murph's". You may actually drop in on a day he is there and get to meet him. He is a class act - the ultimate example of a role model.
Dale Murphy 398 hrs 1266 rbi 161 sb 121ops+ 46.5 war. Jim Rice 382 hrs 1451 rbi 128ops+ 47.7 war. Murphy 2x MVP 5x G.G. Jim Rice 1x MVP 0x G G. Murphy should be in the HOF
at Murphys peak, he was the best player in baseball for a 5 year period, Rice was never that, as a Dodger fan, saw a lot of Murphy as a kid, I would put him in, i think his last few years maybe could have hurt a bit, don't know, but hoping he gets a shot down the road
Awesome vid! These were one of my favorites of the '80s. My grandpa gave me the Cardinals set from that year. I was a St. Louis fan after that, lol. Hope your summer was good and good luck this school year!
i forget how young you are, hahaha. 83 was the last year at the time i was super into cards. i was 12 years old when this series came out and it was always one of my favorites. the 83 set is actually a homage to the 63 set. not really sure why anyone gets excited about pulling anything from the 80s as there are a shit ton of these cards around and they are too new to not be in perfect shape. it is fun watching these vids though!
I was 8 years old when these came out and I can remember my brother and I ripping many of these gems in that summer of 83. great memories. Thanks for doing this break Erik!
This is one of the best Topps designs. Brings back memories.
and then Topps brought back almost the same dual pics in 1984 except square front portraits, which was not a good year in my opinion.
Holy heck what an amazing box. Thank you Erik !
You were hitting Gwynns like Gwynn hit baseballs
Awesome Jonathan happy for you!!!!
Congrats that was amazing
Do you have the Boggs?
Congrats Jonathan H!!!!!!!
I love it! This was the first box of cards I ever got. It was a birthday present to me from my dad on my twelfth birthday. It got me into the Hobby and I've never quit.
Love 83 Topps - my favrorite Topps set since 75. Great video
Every once in a while one of these is really satisfying to watch... this is one of them.
The groovyest episode yet!!!!
Love watching you open these older cards. Love the old uniforms!
Great video once again! Cannot imagine why people give your videos a thumbs down.
First time I’ve ever seen the Dale Murphy 83 Topps. My all time favorite player. Deserves the HOF.
I didn’t seriously start collecting until 1984 so didn’t get any 83.
Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!
I just inherited like 4 boxes of these and sleeves full of all the top players
Nothing better than opening a box of vintage baseball cards! 1983 was quite the year!
1983 Topps was my first experience with baseball cards at 9 years old.. Seeing them is as nostalgic as anything else in my life. I own the set today
I've never seen 3 Tony gwynn rookie cards get pulled from one box that's awesome .thanks for sharing
What an awesome break! I remember buying these cards back in the day....I was a manager at 7-11 from 1976-1993 ,and would sit these on the counter as point of sale! I would order boxes for myself at cost!!....very cheap

I remember opening packs of 80 Topps back in the day. Ricky Henderson rookies. Why didn’t I save a few??😂
Love ‘83 Topps design and Love the Ryno RC!! Glad to see one pulled! Along with 3 Gwynn RCs!!! Crazy! Congrats to Jonathan H for 2 of them, if anyone deserves em, it’s him!

I love these so much more than the newer openings.
Absolutely love these cards. Second only to 1975 set for me. Great break Erik, thank you.

Holy Cow Erik. I love Boggs but 4 rookies was amazing. Great TBT. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Absolutely epic break! These cards look so freaking sharp!!!
3 Gwynn's in ONE BOX!!! INCREDIBLE! My all time favorite player. This was definitely a HOT BOX!!!! TY Erik

Topps 1983 is the set of cards I used to play imaginary games with. So mine are mostly beat up! Loved the design of these cards! Have 3 Ryne Sandbergs and Wade Boggs somehow in most likely PSA 7.5-9.
Love the break! Awesome to see the RC's pulled!!! Even sweeter when you pull 3 Gwynn RC!!! Congrats to Jonathan H. Thanks for sharing!!!
Like the Lee Smith cards. Louisiana country man and a good guy.
Throwback Thursday is so awesome.
Love 83 design. It's really a bridge from 70s.
You are great at this! Love this show!

All those Tony Gwynn’s! That’s amazing!
Can't wait to watch this one. I started buying cards in 1980 when I was 9. The 1983 card design is my favorite.
83 is great!
I really enjoy watching these breaks. And thank you for taking extreme care when handling the cards when placing them into the one touches. I see other breakers that make me cringe when they handle cards.
I remember as a kid I mowed my parents lawn every weekend for half a year to save $60 so I could buy that Ryne Sandberg rookie from my local card shop. It was magical walking home with that card in my pocket.
Love that tony Gwynn rookie and that ryne sandberg rookie and that set is one of my favorites
2nd year Cal Ripken mvp not bad either. Great set! Thanks!
The Best Box break I've ever watched !!!!!Thank You!!
Some of the guys who had starting lineups of them made make me chuckle. I'm a Cubs fan and I can't believe Damon berryhill got a starting lineup
Back in 1983 as a kid getting his mom to buy these packs....I was proned to getting nothing but commons. This box was legendary.
Those cards are still a steal even at 400 dollars. I had this year of cards in my teens in my later years of collecting. It is one of the best designs ever in my opinion. These cards are beautiful. You should buy like 10 boxs of these for the future. I doubt they will be 400 for much longer
unbelievable! 😲 great box for sure
I was like, "Whaaat!" when Erik pulled back to back Gwynn RCs. Very exciting box break.
Love the 83 design!!! Thanks Erik for another great video
Excellent throwback... nice success overall!
This is the set I grew up on so to speak. I really remember collecting this set hard the summer of '83 when I was 12 y.o. I actually think it's one of the more beautiful sets of the 1980s, this one and the '84 Donruss.
Awesome again J-Fam ! Stay in the game and Please keep slapping me in the face with my childhood ! Love it ! And FYI every time you pulled a good card a commercial popped up before the reveal !! Lol !!
I'm so pumped for this!
Wasnt disappointed! Fun open Erik, thank you as always.
My fav Topps card. Beautiful! Those Gwynn!! Congrats Jonathan H!
What a great break!! I have a permanent smile.
I love the '83 Ryne Sandberg card. As a side note, the '83 Alan Trammell card is beautiful.
Every card is mint 10. Wow. Perfectly centered
Nice Gwynn’s. Looking forward to the next 2 throwbacks
Very cool 😎 looking forward to seeing what you Cal pull! 👍
This set brings back so many great memories
Awesome Erik great box
Wow! Awesome box.
I have this case unopened! My dad worked for a company that delivered cards and magazines to stores back in the 70s and 80s! I have many unopened cases! Not just baseball and sport cards! I may do a podcast one day lol! My mom and dad have passed on so I keep these things in boxes!

Born in ‘78 to me this set is the greatest.
Thank you for another cool break video Jabs.
Super sweet pulls!!
Oh gosh I miss opening this year. It’s one of my favorites. I was 9
On Jabs’s tombstone...”Maybe that gum wasn’t so safe.”
Topps is tasty lol.... now 81 donruss gum .... yikes
Surprised no gun left residue
Some checklist cards are worth more than the others you get some of those old hockey checklist cards from the 60s and you're talking some pretty good money
83 Hot Box. Those cards look great coming out of the pack.
Great box....Thx Jabs
Congratulations Jonathan H !
Those cards looks so fresh! Awesome video!!
Bummer no Boggs, but an awesome box! Takes me back.
Hey Eric you are a huge inspiration thanks for everything you do

Wow great box!
Wow! I truly wish I could be as lucky as Johnathan H.
Hit the jackpot on the 1983 Topps baseball awesome box
It was great to see that you got three Tony Gwynn I feel sorry for that one guy didn't get any of the three rookies
At the 25:00 mark you'll notice the Reggie Smith card with a rookie Cub named Sandberg going back to first on a pick off attempt. LOL
I remember buying these with allowance money when they first came out. 😃 The first set I remember collecting.
Amazing box wow! Look forward to the 79 topps, always wanted a box of cards from year I was born so that will be awesome to watch.
Dale Murphy 398 hrs 1266 rbi 161 sb 121ops+ 46.5 war. Jim Rice 382 hrs 1451 rbi 128ops+ 47.7 war. Murphy 2x MVP 5x G.G. Jim Rice 1x MVP 0x G
G. Murphy should be in the HOF
at Murphys peak, he was the best player in baseball for a 5 year period, Rice was never that, as a Dodger fan, saw a lot of Murphy as a kid, I would put him in, i think his last few years maybe could have hurt a bit, don't know, but hoping he gets a shot down the road
That would be fun to open up!
What a great box of cards. Looks like we are in 1983. I bet they don't smell like a wet moldy basement either.
Yes a hat trick of Tony Gwynn rookies 3 times the charm Jabs!
That box looks so amazing wow
Awesome looking Gwynn!
Tony Gwynn "mania" that is cool to see. I think I'm biased, I preferred the Ryne Sandberg rookie. Just one persons opinion. 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome video! Good god jonathan h is frekon lucky!
Awesome box, I definitely need to grab one
Awesome vid! These were one of my favorites of the '80s. My grandpa gave me the Cardinals set from that year. I was a St. Louis fan after that, lol. Hope your summer was good and good luck this school year!
Wow!! Nice Sandberg!! 😎💪🏽
Wow! Amazingly good box!
By far my favorite set of all time
Best break EVER! Congrats
Yes i love it 83 Topps my favorite set
i forget how young you are, hahaha. 83 was the last year at the time i was super into cards. i was 12 years old when this series came out and it was always one of my favorites. the 83 set is actually a homage to the 63 set. not really sure why anyone gets excited about pulling anything from the 80s as there are a shit ton of these cards around and they are too new to not be in perfect shape. it is fun watching these vids though!
