⚾️ Definitely one of my favorites! Your “Throw Back Thursday” tubelations are some of my favorites of your videos, but you know that already. I love that you continue to do those things that most baseball card hobbyist would truly love to do! Mostly I’m just happy your health is better!!
Erik. Because of you, and your stream that I strolled upon last October, you have opened up the likes of Coach K and Wicked Discounts to me. What a great community of camaraderie and passion for the hobby! I collected in the late ‘80s then stopped. Now I’m back. Thank you thank you thank you. This video shows the excitement - and sometimes disappointment - of ‘The Hunt’. Awesome either way. That Bowman year was exceptional. BTW, my fave DMB track is The Stone, off Before These Crowded Streets. Been into DMB since the beginning, and this offering showcased their evolution of creativity and brilliance. Of course, music is like sports; completely subjective. And if you haven’t seen them at the Gorge in WA, well that’s a bucket list dude. Cheers and carry on!
Mike, BTCS is their best album, good song choice. I got into them in 1999 after hearing Crush on the radio. I didn't know the name of the song, just that it was DMB so I ended up buying all of their albums trying to find that song and was immediately hooked. I've been to the Gorge twice - in 2010 and 2012 to see DMB. Might be time to go back soon!

These remind me when I was collecting, believe I was 12 I'm 38 now. Cards have def changed.😂😂😂. I never went to School without a Baseball Beckett!!!!! Love your channel bro. A lot of reminiscing that's for sure!!!!!!!! -Cpl. Edwards
It was, and trust me, people took those numbers as seriously as the Bible. My friend who owned a shop would reprice everything every month based on Beckett prices.
⚾️ Love that McGwire card, definitely one of my favorite players (Cal’s my favorite!), yeah HOF or not I liked watching McGwire, Sosa, Bonds during the slugfests, I used to collect him & Sosa through the 90’s when my kids were just babies. This was during the second stage of my collecting after I gave it up for about 12 years when I was a kid/teen.
I love bowman card's. I may get in on a break if I ever get a chance. They are most of the time gone because I cant afford to be a patron with a seniors income. LOL. Cant do much with $800.00 a month income.
Pretty rare box man and a great throwback video! Some of the pictures Bowman did crack me up, looking like some yearbook shots. I'm not sure which was more painful to see - the lack of a Rivera or the bad fashion. The casual polo shirt look was on fire in the early 90's lol
Thanks for mentioning Cliff Floyd, I collected everything I could find of his. I assume their not worth anything in this day and time. I enjoy watching.
Yeah man, I feel your pain. I collected every Canseco I could find and not worth much now! I even traded a '92 Bowman Piazza for a handful of Canseco cards lol...
I remember being a kid and going into our small town card shop and never being able to afford these. I can’t recall how much they were, but I just remember them being expensive. I only got $3 for an allowance so it was usually Fleer ultra basketball or maybe Pinnacle baseball.
I have so much respect for Jim Abbot. It didn't take him long to get that glove on the other hand did it? I'm so proud of the Angels and any other team that gave this young man a chance to prove himself. Very good athlete indeed.
Your videos are so fun to watch man! I am 42 and these videos take me back to bring a kid in the late 80's early 90's as a kid running to the corner store each week to by packs of cards. Please keep them coming. Also how do I get in on your but ins
I used to collect from 1984 to 1990 when I was in middle school to high school, but when I got a car I sold my collection. I think I did well because the 80s cards are mostly worthless. I went into some sort of hiatus from baseball collecting and watching 3 hr games after high school and started focusing on soccer. I collected FIFA albums since 1986 to this day. I buy soccer cards and sticker. I want to make a comeback on baseball collecting now, but I want to focus on 70s and older cards for baseball.
I bought many of these cards. I quit baseball after the 1994 strike. I remember Tim McCarver calling Mariano Rivera the greatest reliever ever in a game sometime in the 2010s. I never even heard of him at the time! lol! I searched my 1992 Bowman stash of cards and alas, he was not to be found among the commons. :( So, I know this feeling of disappointment.
The up and down arrows in the Beckett indicate that the card price increased or decreased from the previous issue. The arrows don't necessarily mean that the card will be going up or down. It's a common misconception. In fact, they always mentioned that in the magazine, but a lot of people never bothered to read that.
Funny you mentioning your brother not finding a Canseco out of 86 Donruss.. I finally found a Fairfield box at Walgreens and that Canseco RC was in the one box I bought. Crazy. Good break sorry no Mo
20:50 in his minor league debut, Napoleon Robinson threw a high and tight fastball to Ronald Sims who was also making his Minor league debut, that hit him in the left eye and left him without the use of it for the rest of his life. He was an Atlanta Braves highly regarded prospect. Career over in 3 ABs. Brutal. Napoleon Robinson never made it to the bigs
You should do Basketball and Football cards, those are gonna be more valuable now as people are after those cards due to the popularity of the sports, Michael Jordan cards are selling for more then they are worth listed and Maholmes cards have skyrocketed. Plus I like the older sets like 81 topps football and 86 topps that has the Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Reggie White rookies as well as others since football was not traded as much back then, basketball went through a similar thing not having any licensed sets from 81 topps to the legendary 86 fleer with the official MJ rookie in it.
Even though I am about the same age as most of those "well-dressed" rookies, I never wore oddball clothing like that! (that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!)
Failed prospect was actually nice, I would have called him a major bust based on the hype train he had in the late 80's! He did have a couple of good seasons in STL.
I'm sorry you didn't find the Rivera or Piazza. That box had some collation issues that impacted your odds, although they were not the worst collated cards ever. I'm working with some 1988 Score - that is some bad collation! Take care of yourself and your family.
I remember as a kid they used to sell the cards with 3 different bundles all in plastic. I forget the proper name for them. Anyway the 92 Bowman's were like this in white packaging. If you put the whiteness up to the card and looked you could makeout the name of the player. It was 1992 and I was just a dumb kid. I did this maneuver on every rack pack (is that it?) Walmart had. I got down to 2 choices. One was Piazza. I chose the other one. That is my Kenny Lofton story. Oopsie Poopsie! I always was a fan of Lofton tho. Best leadoff man of his era. But still....
This is one of those weird sets that’s when you get a wax box it’s exciting probably because it was so out of reach when it came out but now it’s within reach and other then Mariano rc there really isn’t much to write home about. I guess it’s nostalgia more then worth in this case.
I had like 4 or 5 of those Riviera cards or whatever his name is amongst many others worth money and didn't know what I had. I would buy the jumbo packs when I was 12 or so and would get mad because I would get the several duplicate cards. I sold a whole box full for $15 and the rest were stolen.
I bought a pack this on ebay and the wrapper is really crooked on it. Iam thinking its been repackaged. Please let me know your thoughts before i open it. Thanks
I enjoyed ordering the complete set and either putting them in sleeves or toploaders
This set changed Bowman forever!
Good video. Funny seeing some of the crazy shirts.
Hi E
You opened a pack near the end of the box and I saw my sons baseball card, Alan Newman. Wow!
Really??? That's your son!? That is pretty crazy
That's awesome!
Send him the card.
i met alan back in 2000 he signed some cards for me such a great dude is he coaching now ?
@@robtierney2569 He coached at Fullerton Community College (pitching coach) for a while. Now he works for Home Depot.
I totally forgot about Hoffman. He was GOOD. I love throwback Thursdays. Keep "em comin'. Love it.
I went to high school with Trevor Hoffman
Awesome stuff Jabs! Great product!
Love to open 80s and 90s boxes!! Good video
TBT is cool for us young collectors who don't always get to see this stuff!
I had SOOOOO many of these cards growing up. I still have a few around somewhere.
Nice video. Already looking forward to the next tbt

Brings back memories opening a wax box back in the day
Hi i really like watch you open baseball cards.
I enjoy listening to your knowledge of baseball...

I'm so amazed by the rookies of today being worth so much more than most stars of Yesteryear

Cool video and keep up the good job Eman nice stuff!
Thanks Erik for doing this. I get so bummed when you don't pull the big cards. Hope you can get a great box next time.
It’s amazing how the prices in the early Beckett’s looks like a stock ticker!
It was, and trust me, people took those numbers as seriously as the Bible. My friend who owned a shop would reprice everything every month based on Beckett prices.
Cool break, haven't seen these in years.
Bowman has always had some quality cards. Nice throwback
89 Bowman were horrible
Unlucky break but still a great video Jabsy. I love these throwback videos mate, keep them coming.
⚾️ Love that McGwire card, definitely one of my favorite players (Cal’s my favorite!), yeah HOF or not I liked watching McGwire, Sosa, Bonds during the slugfests, I used to collect him & Sosa through the 90’s when my kids were just babies.

At least you pulled the greatest closer ever. :)
I didn't realize these were going for so much. I bought 4 Boxes in about 2009 for about $180 each. Still have them. Good investment it seems.
I was always happy to get a Nolan Ryan as a kid.
Nolan Ryan is one of the best to have played the game. I want his rookie card.
Great video! Makes me think it’s just easier to pop and buy the Piazza rookie in a slab. 😭
Love this set. I had to buy a bunch of boxes and had to buy singles. It cost me a ton to make this set
Tough Luck. But great video. These videos get me through my workday. Thanks for the content.
Great video
I love the random studio photos in street clothes. Looks so goofy
Love these old breaks.
I used to live in Schererville, Indiana back in the day. Went to visit BBCE a couple of years ago when I was visiting Chicago to see the Cubs play.
Great throwback, Rivera next time!
Got the Mike Piazza reprint cool card but hope u get that Mariano rc card Eman good luck ur pal,Dodgers fan Drew!
Nice box and video
Awesome looking cards
I love bowman card's. I may get in on a break if I ever get a chance. They are most of the time gone because I cant afford to be a patron with a seniors income. LOL. Cant do much with $800.00 a month income.
great flashback to my teenage years,i dont have a rivera either.

I remember buying TONS of rack packs of this set. I have 16 Rivera's, 11 Ramirez, 14 Piazza's. :)
I really like the foil cards they r cool looking
Love the content you put out. Keep it up!
Best card channel
I bought so many of those packs. I was 14 in ‘92
Always fun to try and next time all the cards we are looking for will turn up.
I felt like I was opening packs wishing for Rivera. At least it was better the 81 Donruss. Lol
i got the mariano rivera rook in a garage sale a couple of years ago
Thanks for mentioning Cliff Floyd, I collected everything I could find of his. I assume their not worth anything in this day and time. I enjoy watching.
Yeah man, I feel your pain. I collected every Canseco I could find and not worth much now! I even traded a '92 Bowman Piazza for a handful of Canseco cards lol...
Looks like a great product!!!
Awesome fan mail Friday only a day away!
Great cards.
Love Manny Ramirez just hanging out card lol. Wow the foil cards are nice too.
That was definitely a cool break to watch. Sorry about the Rivera!
I remember being a kid and going into our small town card shop and never being able to afford these. I can’t recall how much they were, but I just remember them being expensive. I only got $3 for an allowance so it was usually Fleer ultra basketball or maybe Pinnacle baseball.
never saw that trevor hoffman card! very nice!
Awesome video
Its It's actually sad to see that you didn't pull the rivera rc but you pulled some other good rcs which is still good to see
I have so much respect for Jim Abbot. It didn't take him long to get that glove on the other hand did it? I'm so proud of the Angels and any other team that gave this young man a chance to prove himself. Very good athlete indeed.

@@DrifterThrifters Did you listen to what was being said in the video from 1:35 to 2:30?
You find some pretty good boxes.
Love the design of 92!
Nice video
Cool product!
Funny you mentioning your brother not finding a Canseco out of 86 Donruss.. I finally found a Fairfield box at Walgreens and that Canseco RC was in the one box I bought. Crazy. Good break sorry no Mo
Always liked 92 Bowman,these where hard to find when I was a kid, considered premium.
Always liked the look of 92 Bowman
Ricky Gutierrez! One of those random guys I always liked. Had a couple good years for the cubs
Baseball card exchange is about 20 min from my house. Awesome LCS great people
Hope you have better luck this week
20:50 in his minor league debut, Napoleon Robinson threw a high and tight fastball to Ronald Sims who was also making his Minor league debut, that hit him in the left eye and left him without the use of it for the rest of his life.

Napoleon Robinson never made it to the bigs
always nice breaks here
I just picked up a rivera at a card shop yesterday for $1, great condition, guess they just didn't know what they had.
Cool tbt

U should always look at the old Beckett’s before u break. Very cool to see the Rivera was only 30 cents!
Loved that design
Beautiful Frank Thomas card
Even though I am about the same age as most of those "well-dressed" rookies, I never wore oddball clothing like that! (that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!)
I was poor too at there ages as well
@@joshpezzner5929 I had a poor wallet combined with poor taste... a lethal combination! lol
cool Jim Abbott gold at 19:28 .. i think he should be a Hall of Famer!
In the hall of fame???
11:16 ouch a little to hard on Gregg Jefferies who had over 1500 hits and a couple AS selections and even 2 HOF votes.
Failed prospect was actually nice, I would have called him a major bust based on the hype train he had in the late 80's! He did have a couple of good seasons in STL.
Still a fun watch Eric
Im just about to give up on getting this set along with the 2004 topps total set as well.
I'm sorry you didn't find the Rivera or Piazza. That box had some collation issues that impacted your odds, although they were not the worst collated cards ever. I'm working with some 1988 Score - that is some bad collation!

Brien Taylor was NOT a bust. He hurt his arm in a fight. That is why he didn't make it, NOT because of his pitching ability.
This is one of those weird sets that’s when you get a wax box it’s exciting probably because it was so out of reach when it came out but now it’s within reach and other then Mariano rc there really isn’t much to write home about. I guess it’s nostalgia more then worth in this case.
Although no rivera or piazza was pulled. It was still a fun break to watch.
I would rock those shirts today.
Also I send u something today but u should get it next week something for Olivia,Elsa and for u so enjoy!
I wasn't collecting in the 90s, so not that familiar with these cards. Thanks for sharing
Love this set
1992 bowman is a fun set
