I've been watching your videos for a week now. I live in LA, originally from Easton Pa. You're doing a great job man. Very honest, knowledgable about older and current players, you keep these videos flowing really nicely, you seem to treat people right. You are right about the IMDB Mark McGuire reference, you and the viewers can go there for Actors and what they've done. I'm an Actor and have been a West Coast Rep for TOPPS! as an Autograph Authenticator for 14+ years. I meet with the players, such a dream job. Keep up the awesome work, and good luck with that surgery. You come to LA look me up. Ciao!
Loved this set. Was tough to find in my area then. And Denny Naegle also played for the Braves back in the day. I remember when they got him. Great video!! Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!
Erik, I think that Mantle Promo card is 1:144 pack odds. I pulled one earlier this year and I believe the odds are listed somewhere on the back...nice break!
Mesa and Vizquel were teammates on the '97 Indians team when Mesa blew the save in Gm. 7 of the WS. Omar wrote a book a few years later, and in it, he said that Mesa had a look on his face of nothing there; essentially saying he didn't have the fire needed to convert. Basically, he called him out and called him soft. Obviously, Mesa took exception to it and threw at him every opportunity he had. There is an excellent video on Sports Nation where they break down the feud.
Dear Jabs was hoping to convince you to try doing a flair case for your upcoming throwback episode. Flair was always my favorite card seemed so nice clean. Ive seen some flair 2006 legacy there are low sp hot glove inserts autos patches decent csrds in set. Or if you could find a flair 96 or 97 would be cool too. Id really like to see some flair. They didnt make flair from like 2001-2005 i believe may be mistaken. Anyway thx hope to see some flair if anyone that reads it and also wants it give my comment thumbs up. Ill become a patreon most likely and try getting on one of your breaks. I took a break from collecting myself same as you 98 til this year. So its kinda fun to get back into it and seeing whats out there. The high end stuff is such a trip wowzers
Andy Pettitte is one of my favorite Yankees. Was sad when he went to the Astros but super happy when he came back! He has 5 WS Championships and was a 3x All-Star...he should get in the HoF at some point!
Yes, Mesa and vizquel were Indians teammates for years and vizquel said he put partial blame on losing the 97 world series on Mesa and said mesa's eyes "were vacant, there was nothing going on there" and Mesa vowed to throw at vizquel any time he faced him. The two still haven't reconciled.
I always want to break some of this older stuff, but am worried about the stickage. I wish there was a list out there somewhere that had products that are prone to paper loss.
The old Topps Sweepstakes and redemption. I often wonder if anyone actually won any of those over the years--trips to World Series, All Star Games, WS, Mantles etc.
The Mets released Bobby Bo to free up money to sign Mike Hampton. His agent was Dennis Gilbert who also reprented Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson and a few others. That was a smart move considering the Mets will have to pay him until he's 72 years old. 😁
Favorite 90's cards were the Donruss Studio series. My all time fav was the 1995 Studio cause they looked like credit cards with a facsimile auto on the back.
Hey Eric, I am always seeing cards from the Junk wax era on the Facebook marketplace for astronomical prices, like 2 to 3 hundred dollars sometimes. What's the nicest way to make an offer and let them know what they have is not what they think they have?
I totally skipped over this set back then. I spent all of my money on 96 Finest, Leaf Signature, Upper Deck and Fleer. WishI had all of those back now.
I thought it was hilarious there was a boy meets world episode where cory and Shawn get a bunch of cards signed by Lenny dykatra at a pizza place as if dykatra wouldn't have spit at kids interrupting his lunch back in the day
Nolan Klein Beckett is a good price range. eBay is awful people trying to make a quick buck and undervalue cards or trying to get rich and overvalue a cards. I recently got a Fernando Tatis Jr. 2019 stadium club black and white variation in a pack. It wasn’t listed in Beckett yet but people on eBay had it listed between $100-$120. 2 weeks ago Beckett listed the card between $30-$60.
Helping hint, warm the pack to about 100f to remedy card sticking paper loss. The colder the cards the more paper loss you'll get. You want the gloss weaker than the paper, only warmth will do that. Warmer cards come apart without the paper loss. I opened over 2000 pks in 96 acquiring Mantle cards. They stuck together then just as bad then. 2004 for me was the worst year for stuck cards....my collected years are 1981, 96-97, 2004, 2011 and now 2019, 1 yr for Score 96. No I won't be collecting 2020 because it looks like 17 and 18 derivatives and boring. The pre-release cards are out. 2019 is extremely popular and supplies seem to be drying up quickly...
Approximately how many cards would you say you have in your personal collection? New to the channel so apologies, I'm sure you're asked this all the time.
Go Padres! Mr Padre, Captain Video, 5.5 Master, or Tony Gwynn. RIP. Great throw back, that was my junior year of high school and last year of collecting until this year.

Great audible tonight, Erik! Loved this break. And thanks again for stopping by my love chat earlier - really appreciate your support.
just wanna say i really enjoy your videos. not only do i learn alot about the hobby, but baseball and baseball history in general. keep it up.
These old product breaks are awesome! I love seeing the old Reds players. Keep up the good work!
Go Reds!
Nice video Erik!. Definitely like the Mantle inserts but not so much of of the '96 cards. Thanks for sharing!
Congrats in advance on 36K - getting closer to being the #1 card channel on you tube. Nice video
Nice clean looking cards and the Mantle inserts are an awesome addition.
Loved this set. Was tough to find in my area then.
And Denny Naegle also played for the Braves back in the day. I remember when they got him.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
God Bless!!
Had not started back to collecting this year. Cool to see though. Thanks for sharing. Always fun waiting to see what you will share.
No Ryan O’hearn and Cedric Mullins baby pics, signed? Or diaper relics?
Nor John Wathan retirement refractor
Lol Donnie, Good one! 😂

Thanks for getting me into collecting as an adult. Had tons of cards growing up and wish I kept them but didn't understand the worth
I like the design of these. Takes me back
Wow I got lucky again, thanks Erik! Looking forward to those Mantles! I didn't collect in the 90's, but this set looks great, cool cards!
Joplin is just a 45 minute drive from Mantles hometown of Commerce, OK. He could literally go home during every homestand. 😁
Nice break Erik. Lots of Mantles were cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I have an unopened box of these. Thinking of ripping them now. Great video.
Nice Mantle pulls from that box
Erik, we're calling out for 1983 TOPPS! It's unanimous..

Wonder if applying a bit of heat (hairdryer?) would help relieve the sticking?
Love this box!
Love those Mantle cards ... don't peel!
These were the first packs I got into picking up... started collecting in 95

Love the box bro
The Mantle reprints numbered higher than 14 were short prints.
How is a sealed box creased like that?
Those mantle cards are nice
Awesome baseball cards thank you
The old Topps Sweepstakes and redemption. I often wonder if anyone actually won any of those over the years--trips to World Series, All Star Games, WS, Mantles etc.
I don’t think I’ve ever opened a pack of these!!
Love 1996 topps
I still have the film on the few finest cards I still have. I think you should def do a TBT of finest
I love your videos man

Can’t wait for Sunday, hopefully I get something good
I found this set at my local Flea Market, caught a Mantle and the Vladdy/Andruw Prospect card
Nice video
Nice looking cards
I hope one day you'll have a Miguel Cabrera rookie pull and then give it to this tiger fan right here!
Favorite 90's cards were the Donruss Studio series. My all time fav was the 1995 Studio cause they looked like credit cards with a facsimile auto on the back.
Jabs, what’s the best box to buy from the 90s?
Hey Eric, I am always seeing cards from the Junk wax era on the Facebook marketplace for astronomical prices, like 2 to 3 hundred dollars sometimes. What's the nicest way to make an offer and let them know what they have is not what they think they have?

Was it only series 2 with the Mantle inserts? I love these cards!
Happy 24/7 Day!!
ya know on that knoblauch card his throw probably went into the 3Rd row
nice cards.
I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO A BISONS GAME AND MEETING BIGGIO AND THEN A WEEK OR SO LATER, HE MOVES UP TO THE BLUE JAYS
I thought it was hilarious there was a boy meets world episode where cory and Shawn get a bunch of cards signed by Lenny dykatra at a pizza place as if dykatra wouldn't have spit at kids interrupting his lunch back in the day
Throwback Wednesday you mean.
Jose Mesa blew the save in the 7th game of the 1997 World Series. He did always throw at Omar Vizquel after Mesa left the Indians.
What would you put a 93 bowman Mariano Rivera at.
Bernard Gilkey still gets paid if they show the correct version of the movie Men In Black. It's not much but hey he was in a movie.
Are you gonna be filming videos from national?
5 Will Clarks!!!!…..Nice!
Jabs Family you should do a crazy break for your 1,000th video
David Wells had a perfect game* with the Yankees
5:12 What’s wrong with Beckett pricing? eBay kills the value of cards. I think eBay is horrible.
ebay is the actual market. Beckett is fantasy
Nolan Klein Beckett is a good price range. eBay is awful people trying to make a quick buck and undervalue cards or trying to get rich and overvalue a cards. I recently got a Fernando Tatis Jr. 2019 stadium club black and white variation in a pack. It wasn’t listed in Beckett yet but people on eBay had it listed between $100-$120. 2 weeks ago Beckett listed the card between $30-$60.
One of the Mantle’s has a red autograph on the back of the card.
Erik, where was the John Wathan retirement refractor?
Let’s do a 2005-2006 boxes woot
I will sponsor
Ohhhhh nice
I never bought a pack of this set. Bummer
Would LOVE to have either of the 52' topps Mantle or 51' Bowman Mantle!
So sad both guys on cover of the box are both dead. Great players gone too soon

I got a bartolo colon rookie card but I don’t know how much it’s worth does anyone know?
Maddux really wanted to re-sign with the Cubs in 1993 and offered them a discount and Cubs ownership said no. Cubs fans are still bitter about it
Approximately how many cards would you say you have in your personal collection? New to the channel so apologies, I'm sure you're asked this all the time.
Did you notice on thr Mantle redemption it had apr of the 56 Card at 750 dollars!
im sending a package fo next weeks fanmail friday
96 nice 👍
Go Padres! Mr Padre, Captain Video, 5.5 Master, or Tony Gwynn. RIP. Great throw back, that was my junior year of high school and last year of collecting until this year.
Buying Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander cards
Whatever happened to FTF?
Ha and you answered my question
Mantle cards were sweet why no jeter
Back when the 52’ mantle was worth 25k
great looking set. Was 75% of the league really on roids?
