Tune in as Mrs. Wax Pack Gods reads about 1972 Topps Baseball Cards.
Has there ever been a better cardboard representation of an era than the psychedelic funk 1972 Topps baseball cards dropped on collectors way back when?
I mean, here you had wild colors … starburst team names … arched borders … mutton chops and handlebars and fu manchus and long hair and afros and chest hair like shag carpet even if you couldn’t really see it.
You knew it was there.
Add in superstars and rookies and Hall of Famers and a huge checklist and scarce high numbers, and you have a set that’s stoked collectors for decades.
So which of these classic cards are the most valuable?
Glad you asked …

Absolutely love my 72 set!
One of my first favorites, along with 1975. The '72 photos are beauties!
I applaud the effort, hobby knowledge, and passion for baseball that went into the script for this video. It was very well written.
Thanks!
Great segment! I used to have TONS of these cards. 1972 was the last year I really collected. We used to play a game called "colors' where a few of us would sit down and each put down a card. When someone's color matched the color of the card on top, they took the pile. It could get exciting and you could come away with a lot of cards.. I still have some of these, like Mays, Clemente, and Aaron. I used to have a few of the Nolan Ryan. No more, lol. But the 1972 set for me, is one that as time has gone on, has truly become a classic.
That sounds like a fun game -- might have to give it a try if I can find a willing participant and a few '72s for sacrifice. Thanks for the tip!
We used to each bet a similar priced cards. What we would to is one guy flips his card and the 2nd guy would have to match it . Stats side or "heads" the player side. We would flip the commons and just lay the good ones on the table . Some of the cards were pretty hefty price wise Great times
@@zebraallday8332 The way we would flip mostly was by two people flipping at the same time and calling odds or evens. You could also flip with 3 people, and the odd card would win the other flippers' cards. We also would play "farthies" where we would take the corner of the card between our middle and index finger and fling it as far as we could. Whoever's card went the furthest won. Like you say, great times!
Fun, nostalgia video.
Thanks!
didn't know seaver was so messed up, god bless him, his cards seem to be holding some good values no matter what the year!!! take care and be safe at holmes
You too!
I started buying baseball cards, I was 10 years of age. Starting back in 1987.
That was a great year for cards. Thanks for watching!
That wasn't a great year for cards! That was the year they started mass production of cards
you did a nice job here, poetic and nostalgic. A good combo, in any generation.
Really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
@@WaxPackGods You are most welcome. I think you came up on my recommended because I have started a channel about the tough kids who grew up in the 1970's (and 80's). And I mention the whole love of Topps baseball cards (in spokes of tires). etc. If you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/wR_ZUgY4k0Q/w-d-xo.html
Still a nice card great clean borders the way a card should be
I wish I had the '72 topps cards today. They had the most colorful graphics!
Rusty Staub was traded from the Expos to the Mets, but there isn't a card from him from either team in 1972. Weird.
Where the hell is Steve Carlton? He has a base card in the set and his traded card is a high number. WTF??
I have almost every one of those cards.
They knew what they were doing in ,,,1972
absolute classic. i think the 75 set competes with 72 as the perennial 70s set. took me a solid year to complete the set and i compiled a nice representation of this monster of a set. the high numbers were a bear and there is the usual 70s sketchy centering, but it's a joy to look at
Agreed. Classic cards all around!
Forgot the Ron Cey rookie high number?? But it was the greatest set of all time. I just finished completing my set after 49 years.
It was one of my early favorites, for sure. Congrats on completing the set!
Just discovered the channel, good content. I did want to mention that Roberto Clemente's last Topps card was actually 1973, not "72
"This is Clemente’s last regular Topps card issued before his death in the winter of 1972" -- which it was. The '73 was after his death. Thanks for watching!
Bravo ! I own the Ryan, Bench and Aaron :) I absolutely love vintage cards ! I just bought my first ever Willie Mays card, but it's '73 Topps.
Very nice! That's his last regular issue card, so pretty much a piece of history. Thanks for watching!
@@WaxPackGods i think i'll subscribe :)
Just found a Fisk rookie (!) at my local card shop. Was $54.95 but i wasn't passing that up.... Nice looking too.
@@robertanderson2898 Whoa! How awesome. Congrats, man!
@@WaxPackGods Thanks. You all take care, be safe :)
Most of these gems appear to be in real mint shape. It's a shame the value of these cards to you and yours is just grading and $$$$$, but thanks for sharing.
Garvey?
Where is Al Kaline??
Hank would never hold his bat against a blue sky because the seats are behind the plate
What he did best was hold (swing) a bat. Against the blue sky is where he's holding it on this card. It's all in the parsing.
Pipe down and relax, Coach Millers.
That's because most of those cards were taken at spring training that's why the blue sky
i hated when topps airbrushed......like who you foolin? looked so amateurish
Yeah, it was something special, huh?
