21:24 for the jerry rice. Nicest jerry rice I’ve ever seen pulled! Happy for you. I know some of the breaks didn’t pan out but nothing ventured, nothing gained
My younger brother turned 11 in 1986 and I was 16. We were both into collecting cards, and I remember that all my brother wanted for his birthday that year was the 1986 Topps football set. So my mom took him down to Sears and bought him a factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to have any of them graded, but many remain in great condition. I guess he had some foresight at age 11.
My brother was 1 year old in ‘86 and I was 3. We were at the time huge into cards. I remember all my brother wanted for his birthday was a Tonka truck but my father insisted he get the ‘86 Topps football factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to get any of them graded (alcoholism) but remain in great condition (doesn’t read well). I gues he had some foresight as an infant
I was born in ‘86 and my dad bought me this complete set when I was born. It was the set that got me into collecting football cards and I have been ever since. Still have it btw
I am addicted to your vintage box openings as a mid 40’s guy. Your mid 1980’s opening of football and basketball makes me happy. I am like you have said alot, i mainly collected baseball because it was the thing and now wish I would’ve stayed with football and basketball because I loved them both more. I ripped tons of 1987 baseball topps and donruss mainly because i could get them for 0.43 cents a pack 🤣. Searching for Bo Jackson and Mark rookies
I have a Rice as good as that one without any corner damage and it graded a 9. Very tough to pull a 10 on that card. PSA shows on 62 tens out of 35k graded cards. I think that Steve Young is in that set as well as a rookie and his card that I have is also graded a 9 and looks perfect to me. I hate to send cards back to PSA for a regrade, so expensive and slow.
I know you were being careful at 23:00 trying to put the Rice in that sleeve but it was still making me cringe worrying that it was going to fray the corner. I would recommend opening up the sleeve and flicking the seam with your fingers just to get it to barely open up and separate. That way when you slide the other edge of the card into the sleeve it goes in smooth instead of trying to fit it into the area of the seam. I know I have had my own trouble before hoping I don't cause fraying until I started this method.
Enjoyed the video. When I was in second grade I was buying 1968 Topps. That was the year I started collecting. 5 cents a pack. Still one of my favorite years. I started collecting again in 1986 consistently thru today. I recently went thru about 80,000 cards and pulled 1000 plus rookies and 2000 H of F type players. Like you I focused on baseball and would buy football occasionally.
killing me with the sleeve loading. slice the inside corner on the sleeve with a razor blade so you don't jack up the corner of the card bro. love the videos!
Still worse. I rewound his opening of that pack, and his almost tired, cavalier handling of that back as he looked up while talking, and then ---- GASP ---- separating the pack of raw cards into two sets, letting the sides of the cards rub up and down against each other, before flipping through them fast. The upper left edge of the Rice card had a bit of "white" on it, if you notice. Could it have been from roughly opening up the pack or 'a glancing blow' to the corner as he was handking the cards?? ---- All I know is that I would be SO VERY CAREFULLY handling each pack, as if that pack held a perfectly centered Rice. (Maybe divide this video into two or three parts). But again, after spending a couple thousand on a box, where you'd know you'd get a Rice, I'd be so much more gentle. And that's just me. Still, it was a fun video to watch!
Slightly older than you guys, as a kid in the 70's, I opened alot of Topps cards 1972-74. Collected til I graduated in 79. Moved to Japan and when I came back in 82 my mom got rid of them all. Started in again when I had a daughter in 1989. Ripped alot of Topps and Donruss 1990. Alot of Err cards in that Donruss set.. Great memories.

I did, tons of boxes. 1980 to 1988 boxes as a young boy up in Fresno, California! They were so cheap to buy!
When I was 14 years old I did buy some packs from 7-eleven store but now most of the cards in the album is mostly are damage condition. I got steve young, bruce smith, reggie white, wilber marshall, eric dickerson, roger craig, walter payton, lawrence taylor, john elway and dan marino
We opened a few boxes when 86 Topps was new on the market. My kids were 12, 9 & 3 and it was fun !! We even put a box or two aside. Well, of course, they were all opened eventually and we put the whole set together in a 3 ring binder. Is there anyone I could email a photo of a couple cards I think would grade well ? It sure is fun to pretend and imagine the best. Reality is another thing that brings one down to Earth rather quickly. Great video Geoff !
Wow, I was 12 years old in 1986. Seeing these cards again really takes me back. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, and every allowance day, I would go to the local pharmacy with 2 or 3 friends. We would pick out our packs and sit down at the counter, order a chocolate milk shake, and open our packs. Great content. My prediction for tonight's Super Bowl is Eagles 34, Chiefs 31
All about the great memories! Yeah I was born in 77. I ripped alot as a kid. 1982- 1992 were my prime years. I was lucky enough to have a great single father and it was something we did together. We had like a draft and picked the guys we would collect. Like 25-40 each and if we pulled your guy you got to keep it. Kept them in 9 pocket sleeves in a binder back then. Not having the junk wax baseball anymore doesn't bother me but man the 86 and 87 fleer basketball cards I miss haha. I mean multiples of all the stars and rookies
I opened up a lot of 1984 Topps football and 1988 as well. I also bought a brand new box of 1988 Fleer Basketball for $11 in 1989 as a clearance item in my card shop.
I ripped a lot of 88,89,90 Topps, Fleer, and Donruss baseball. Also ripped a lot of 89 Upper Deck because 11 year old me was chasing that Griffey Jr and like yourself never ripped that one. Eventually caved at a card show for it. The 80’s & 90’s were a simpler time collecting.
I ripped a ton 89 upper deck baseball when I was 10. Every time my dad would go to the store I would go with and we would stop at the card shop. He would buy my a few packs and make me open them at the store and said don't tell mom. Later found out my mom new the whole time.
This brings back memories! My best friend back then was a 49'ers fan, and didn't get a Rice RC. I gave him one because I had doubles of it. To be young and innocent again...
1985 Topps baseball, hunting down Mark McGwire USA Baseball rookies. My favorite player growing up and still is. Been collecting Big Mac since the early 90s.

1984 Topps football was the year I opened up most!
@Sports Card Investor yes sir. It was my first year at Fresno State. I worked side jobs, saved up money, and bought from the local Safeway grocery stores! The manager's at first would look at me funny, probably thinking, "Why does this kid buy a box per week?" Ahhh, the memories!
I used to go into TG&Y when I was 12 and buy packs of this. I pulled the Rice, Young, and the B. Smith card. Kept them wrapped in rubber band so just imagine how the edges looked.
Haha.. remember the Super Bowl Shuffle.. those were the days. I was living in Auburn Alabama and my dad owned a restaurant and Bo Jackson would come in all of the time.
I really didn't rip a lot of cards until I got to high school and had a summer job....I ripped SO MUCH 1989 score football. Score was cheaper than pro set and topps was boring. I had so many Barry's and Aikmans... all gone now sadly.... it was good to meet you in burbank Geoff
My mom owned a small grocery store back in the day and I remember she had multiple boxes of these 1986 Topps football cards sitting on the counter. The things didn’t sell, so she gave them to me. I had at least 10 of those Rice rookies in my card album. I still remember the day I gave all those football cards away for a few 1950’s baseball cards. Yeah, not my best trade ever.
I was also a big Elway and Broncos fan back in the day. My brother was a Brett Favre and Packers fan so there was a rivalry there but it was great when the Broncos knocked off the Packers in the 1998 Super Bowl.
Super fun to see this. I ripped a lot of ‘87-‘91 junk wax stuff. My favorite was ‘89 Upper Deck when I could afford it. I never pulled a Griffey but 2 different friends pulled a Griffey on 2 different occasions we went to the local card shop. I was excited but so disappointed lol. The ‘85 Bears won the Super Bowl XX played in January 26, 1986. Congrats on the Rice. Gotta send it in and do a follow up.
Same here, dude. I had to spend my entire allowance just to buy 1 pack of UD cards every month. I watched several people pull Griffey Jr. right after I bought a dud pack. Had to wait until I was an adult to make up for it. I was able to buy several complete sets. I have no kids, so some guy will probably find my collection hidden in my abandoned house decades after Im gone. Im betting he wont get too excited about the dozens of Jimmy Garoppolo cards I stocked up on when my Niners traded for him. 😅
Beautiful Rice you pulled. Haven't read all the comments so maybe someone asked already. PSA For a 9 or SGC or CSG for 9.5 or Beckett with subs getting a 9 with maybe some higher sub grades? The centering on that looked awesome. Follow up video on grading and the thought process on all the cards you plan to submit would be very informative. And yes I'm writing this before the end of the video so maybe you explained this at the end.
Takes me way back, though we opened boxes and boxes of earlier cards, mostly 1981 Topps football (Montanas are all beat up) and baseball... Grew up in Gainesville a few blocks from The Swamp. Would listen to the stadium announcer and recreate the plays of Tony Green, Scott Hutchinson and Scot Brantley in the yard with my brothers... shocked you passed by the Wes Chandler cards without a Gator reference. I caught a few passes from Chandler at a Gator Growl. Thanks for the memories...
I was born in 1974 and I collected football cards as a kid. 1986 was right in my sweet spot. I have tons of '86 cards. I ripped more '86 packs than any other year. I had a cork board in my bed room. My favorite players got pinned up on my cork board 😥 LT, the Fridge, Walter Payton and many others have a nice little pin hole right at the top of the card. I still have the cards in an old Trapper Keeper.
Just found your channel, loving it so far! Speaking of going through a lot of pain in the 80's, while I understand it was tough for you as an Elway fan, I am a huge Marino fan, so I feel your pain X2. At least you finally got to see Elway win a couple of Super Bowls!
1990 Donruss Baseball. It was all about the Bo Jackson cards that got us excited. In fact, this was my first box of cards ever given to me. It was my first pack of cards ever opened for me as a kid. I believe it was an Easter basket present from my parents.
I spent a kid's fortune on Score cards trying to get that Bo Jackson landscape with him in football bads holding the bat over his shoulders. Never got it.
I was unfortunately a junk wax era kid so 1988-1992 is what I ripped the most. I did mostly Topps and some Donruss and Upper Deck. Just got back into the hobby with football and loving it since I get to do it with my 13 year old boy.
I have a Jerry Rice rookie in a box with some other cards that have been sitting for about 20 years. I wonder if it's worth getting graded. It looks like a solid print with decent centering.
The 1986 Bears were the reason I am a Bears fan. It was the first year I really got into football. When I started collecting the packs I ripped the most of were 1990 Upperdeck Baseball.
Geoff you probably won’t see this But your videos got me started in investing in sports cards literally just started by buying Chronicles Masterbox’s from Walmart Had no idea what I was doing but watching your videos I figured I could make money I ended up pulling some Brock purdys Eventually I started buying Prizm packs I’ve profited $1,500 in the my first 3 months Now I have an eBay store and over 1,000 football cards I’m busy posting online Today I learned we have the same last name !
Fun video to watch - I'm from Chicago so cool to see the cards that were out in that SB year! Will you post a reveal on what grade you got from PSA on the Rice RC?
I was ripping garbage pail kids open in 1986. That was a big deal back then. Lol. I started collecting sports cards in like 1990 at the age of 13. I remember going to the store in the 80s and seeing baseball cards but never thought to collect them. I would probably be rich had I been investing in 1986 fleer basketball or 86 topps football as there was a lot of high dollar cards in those years. Anyway great rip on those 86 topps football. I always get a thrill ripping open old packs from my childhood. Just takes me back. Great video 💯
1989 upper deck. It was the hottest thing because of the high quality of card in 1989. I played baseball for Florida Tech saved my travel good money to buy cards every road trip. Chase Griffey my whole college career.
My 9-year-old is the collector now. I went broke at Walmart with 96-97 Chrome Basketball. Still mad I sold my Kobe BGS 9 to a card shop for $150. AND Jermaine, Iverson, and Nash....but we learn. I had 2 full base sets.ungh It's fun to "school" him a bit now. He's a solid football and hockey kid though. We won a Twitter contest for an 86 Rice SGC 3.5 and he lost it. He likes Pokémon too. I'm still figuring that out. I appreciate the videos.
Born in 78', the 85 & 86 Topps football were the first football cards I ever had. Geoff love watching you rip this, however you missed one of my personal favorites HOF Dan Fouts at 10:26 and 30:17. Nevertheless congrats on all the big RC pulls.
When cards are stuck together like that , I lightly steam the cards to separate them then use wetdry or the lil bags that come in new shoes to take the moisture out of the air.
My best pack hit would have been UD Ken Griffey JR, two 89 Score Barry Sanders and one Troy Aikman rookies. I went to a card shop back when Brady Quinn, Jamarcus Russell and I forget who the third QB was, but they opened up a new box of Sage Hit. I bought three packs and managed to pull out all three top QBs of that rookie year.
Bought this set back in the early 90s during my childhood collecting days. Younger me knew what I was doing. My Rice came back an 8 and Young a 7. Hope you get lucky on that Rice!
my most opened packs would be 1989 Topps and Upper Deck Baseball, or 1991 Topps Stadium Club baseball. I also opened a ton of 1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey.
Unfortunately, the product I opened as a kid was either 1990 Score or 1994 Collector's Choice (football), lol. The product I had the most FUN opening as a kid was 1995 Sky Box Premium. LOVE the Mirror Images cards and base cards in that set. Also really enjoyed the Pay Dirt insert and I actually bought the complete insert set awhile back for cheap. For collectors looking for higher dollar cards, there are some rare parallels of that Pay Dirt insert set.
Great commentary by Geoff during this video which is hard to do by yourself. Also I was always pissed at Topps for putting gum in the packs as a kid and I still am all these years later! Ruined many cards that way.
Get the Sports Card Investor App in the App Store, and then check out Market Movers here: www.marketmoversapp.com
Can you suggest me some good value boxes to open?
Price 50-500 and under per box, cards inside mostly decent? (Unlike optic/prizm?)
Most ripped packs for me was 89 Topps baseball when I was a kid. Then when I got back into the hobby in 2001 the Topps baseball.
Hey sir, someone is messaging me on here pretending they're you!!😠
Do you have Telegram Jeff, or is someone spamming??
Sorry I’m late
21:24 for the jerry rice. Nicest jerry rice I’ve ever seen pulled! Happy for you. I know some of the breaks didn’t pan out but nothing ventured, nothing gained
My younger brother turned 11 in 1986 and I was 16. We were both into collecting cards, and I remember that all my brother wanted for his birthday that year was the 1986 Topps football set. So my mom took him down to Sears and bought him a factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to have any of them graded, but many remain in great condition. I guess he had some foresight at age 11.
That’s a great memory!
Grade that young with the gum, ahahah
If you send it in.......prolly a 7 or 8 tbh. I bought a sealed set and it came back 8😣. Broke my heart
Gm10
My brother was 1 year old in ‘86 and I was 3. We were at the time huge into cards. I remember all my brother wanted for his birthday was a Tonka truck but my father insisted he get the ‘86 Topps football factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to get any of them graded (alcoholism) but remain in great condition (doesn’t read well). I gues he had some foresight as an infant
I ripped 1985 Topps soooo much. I saved enough of those Promo Inserts to win a Complete Factory set mailed to me that year. GREAT JOB MY FRIEND!!
I was getting excited watching you open these packs looking for the holy grail. Hope your Jerry Rice turns out to be grade 10!!
It will be. Psa will make sure of it and he knows it
Great show and truly enjoyed. The last minute was too funny; I'm bustin. Hope you are well God Bless
I was born in ‘86 and my dad bought me this complete set when I was born. It was the set that got me into collecting football cards and I have been ever since. Still have it btw
I am addicted to your vintage box openings as a mid 40’s guy. Your mid 1980’s opening of football and basketball makes me happy.

What did the Rice grade?
I have a Rice as good as that one without any corner damage and it graded a 9. Very tough to pull a 10 on that card. PSA shows on 62 tens out of 35k graded cards. I think that Steve Young is in that set as well as a rookie and his card that I have is also graded a 9 and looks perfect to me. I hate to send cards back to PSA for a regrade, so expensive and slow.
The criminals at PSA would give him a 10 even if someone had drawn a dick on it, they give preferential treatment to guys like him
I know you were being careful at 23:00 trying to put the Rice in that sleeve but it was still making me cringe worrying that it was going to fray the corner. I would recommend opening up the sleeve and flicking the seam with your fingers just to get it to barely open up and separate. That way when you slide the other edge of the card into the sleeve it goes in smooth instead of trying to fit it into the area of the seam. I know I have had my own trouble before hoping I don't cause fraying until I started this method.
Interested in seeing how you did on the Rice as far as grading....hopefully there is a follow up video. Good Luck man!
Enjoyed the video. When I was in second grade I was buying 1968 Topps. That was the year I started collecting. 5 cents a pack. Still one of my favorite years. I started collecting again in 1986 consistently thru today. I recently went thru about 80,000 cards and pulled 1000 plus rookies and 2000 H of F type players. Like you I focused on baseball and would buy football occasionally.
killing me with the sleeve loading. slice the inside corner on the sleeve with a razor blade so you don't jack up the corner of the card bro. love the videos!
anyone else getting stressed when he wasn't putting down the cards in his left hand to separate the sticky cards? lol great set! Thanks for sharing!
People handle cards like savages lol idk why
Still worse. I rewound his opening of that pack, and his almost tired, cavalier handling of that back as he looked up while talking, and then ---- GASP ---- separating the pack of raw cards into two sets, letting the sides of the cards rub up and down against each other, before flipping through them fast.

I did, tons of boxes. 1980 to 1988 boxes as a young boy up in Fresno, California! They were so cheap to buy!
Opened a ton of 1987 Topps baseball. Still love it. Wish I had opened up more 1986 Topps football or Fleer basketball, though.
When I was 14 years old I did buy some packs from 7-eleven store but now most of the cards in the album is mostly are damage condition. I got steve young, bruce smith, reggie white, wilber marshall, eric dickerson, roger craig, walter payton, lawrence taylor, john elway and dan marino
Great way to kickoff Super Bowl Sunday. Love the 86’s!
I can only imagine the horror of a piece of gum stuck to the Jerry Rice card
Was going to post this. 😢
Don’t imagine that.Imagine 10 PSA RICE
We opened a few boxes when 86 Topps was new on the market. My kids were 12, 9 & 3 and it was fun !! We even put a box or two aside. Well, of course, they were all opened eventually and we put the whole set together in a 3 ring binder. Is there anyone I could email a photo of a couple cards I think would grade well ? It sure is fun to pretend and imagine the best. Reality is another thing that brings one down to Earth rather quickly. Great video Geoff !
Love these older box rips. Fun to see and teaches people about these cards. By the way nice to meet you at Burbank Card show.
🚨 @21:24 if you wanna skip right to Jerry Rice, Thank me later! 😉👍
Thanks legend
Great video! I loved this!! These were the first year I started collecting!!
Wow, I was 12 years old in 1986. Seeing these cards again really takes me back. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, and every allowance day, I would go to the local pharmacy with 2 or 3 friends. We would pick out our packs and sit down at the counter, order a chocolate milk shake, and open our packs. Great content.
My prediction for tonight's Super Bowl is Eagles 34, Chiefs 31
Ironic. Me too. Merrill, WI.
Marshfield WI for me
All about the great memories! Yeah I was born in 77. I ripped alot as a kid. 1982- 1992 were my prime years. I was lucky enough to have a great single father and it was something we did together. We had like a draft and picked the guys we would collect. Like 25-40 each and if we pulled your guy you got to keep it. Kept them in 9 pocket sleeves in a binder back then. Not having the junk wax baseball anymore doesn't bother me but man the 86 and 87 fleer basketball cards I miss haha. I mean multiples of all the stars and rookies
1975 Topps baseball . Always have loved the 2 color design.
I opened up a lot of 1984 Topps football and 1988 as well. I also bought a brand new box of 1988 Fleer Basketball for $11 in 1989 as a clearance item in my card shop.
Can’t go wrong with that!
1989 Score football packs were my weakness. I pulled over 20 Barry Sanders RCs and that set was stacked!
That was a great set. Too bad it tanked.
Recently went through my 86 Topps Football after 39 Years and found Jerry Rice and a bunch of rookies in great condition. They are in my safe now!
I ripped a lot of 88,89,90 Topps, Fleer, and Donruss baseball. Also ripped a lot of 89 Upper Deck because 11 year old me was chasing that Griffey Jr and like yourself never ripped that one. Eventually caved at a card show for it. The 80’s & 90’s were a simpler time collecting.
Yeah those were my years too!
I ripped a ton 89 upper deck baseball when I was 10. Every time my dad would go to the store I would go with and we would stop at the card shop. He would buy my a few packs and make me open them at the store and said don't tell mom. Later found out my mom new the whole time.

1985 Topps baseball, hunting down Mark McGwire USA Baseball rookies. My favorite player growing up and still is. Been collecting Big Mac since the early 90s.
1984 Topps football was the year I opened up most!
That was a great year too. Elway and Marino!
@Sports Card Investor yes sir. It was my first year at Fresno State. I worked side jobs, saved up money, and bought from the local Safeway grocery stores! The manager's at first would look at me funny, probably thinking, "Why does this kid buy a box per week?" Ahhh, the memories!
The set I opened the most was Upper Deck Hockey 1990-91, that's when I fell in love with the hobby at 9 years old, I nee a box right now!
I used to go into TG&Y when I was 12 and buy packs of this. I pulled the Rice, Young, and the B. Smith card. Kept them wrapped in rubber band so just imagine how the edges looked.
Congratulations and getting that Jery Rice card… I hope you get a 10 when you grade it..👏👍🇺🇸 from Louis 🙂
Nice Jerry Rice card! I predict the Chiefs win 38-34.
1 point off lol
Was this fr? Or did you wait till the end of the game to make a more accurate prediction?
@Sebastian Pacheco No this was actually my prediction.
Haha.. remember the Super Bowl Shuffle.. those were the days. I was living in Auburn Alabama and my dad owned a restaurant and Bo Jackson would come in all of the time.
@Sports_Card_Investor- scammer! Be gone!
I really didn't rip a lot of cards until I got to high school and had a summer job....I ripped SO MUCH 1989 score football. Score was cheaper than pro set and topps was boring. I had so many Barry's and Aikmans... all gone now sadly.... it was good to meet you in burbank Geoff
My mom owned a small grocery store back in the day and I remember she had multiple boxes of these 1986 Topps football cards sitting on the counter. The things didn’t sell, so she gave them to me. I had at least 10 of those Rice rookies in my card album. I still remember the day I gave all those football cards away for a few 1950’s baseball cards. Yeah, not my best trade ever.
That Rice was a piece of art. Loved the facial expressions during the gum chew! It was fun
Amazing and major congrats. Love this channel. Oh I saw a few you passed up also like Warren Moon, Dan Fouts QBs.
21:00
Jerry Rice RC pull which I think will grade PSA 8.
I was also a big Elway and Broncos fan back in the day. My brother was a Brett Favre and Packers fan so there was a rivalry there but it was great when the Broncos knocked off the Packers in the 1998 Super Bowl.
Super fun to see this. I ripped a lot of ‘87-‘91 junk wax stuff. My favorite was ‘89 Upper Deck when I could afford it. I never pulled a Griffey but 2 different friends pulled a Griffey on 2 different occasions we went to the local card shop. I was excited but so disappointed lol.

That's a 10 bro. Hell yeahhhh that's what I'm talking about. Glad u pulled it. Penny Hardaway is the man
The gum crunch was amazing ASMR. 😂😂

I caught a few passes from Chandler at a Gator Growl. Thanks for the memories...
As an 8 year old and being Canadian, the 1977-78 OPChee hockey was my best memories. Sure takes me back.
If you don't want that Steve Young with the gum on it I'll take it off your hands. 😂😂
My 1st yr of collecting football cards was 87' I was a huge Niners fan growing up in NH and my family came from NJ and were huge NYG fans.
Yes send that Jerry Rice card out and see if it's a 10 if not then it's a solid 9. WOW Congrats on that pull Geoff! :)
Thanks!
I was born in 1974 and I collected football cards as a kid. 1986 was right in my sweet spot. I have tons of '86 cards. I ripped more '86 packs than any other year. I had a cork board in my bed room. My favorite players got pinned up on my cork board 😥 LT, the Fridge, Walter Payton and many others have a nice little pin hole right at the top of the card. I still have the cards in an old Trapper Keeper.
Just found your channel, loving it so far! Speaking of going through a lot of pain in the 80's, while I understand it was tough for you as an Elway fan, I am a huge Marino fan, so I feel your pain X2. At least you finally got to see Elway win a couple of Super Bowls!
Of course he did! Lol. I’m sure if anyone else opened it, would get nothing good lol
My son and his buddy ,in 1989,ten yrs old pulled two Ken Griffey Jr upper deck 1989,in only three packs,at a card show. I will never forget it.
Awesome cards. That gum would be like eating broken glass LOL
1990 Donruss Baseball. It was all about the Bo Jackson cards that got us excited. In fact, this was my first box of cards ever given to me. It was my first pack of cards ever opened for me as a kid. I believe it was an Easter basket present from my parents.
I spent a kid's fortune on Score cards trying to get that Bo Jackson landscape with him in football bads holding the bat over his shoulders. Never got it.
I was unfortunately a junk wax era kid so 1988-1992 is what I ripped the most. I did mostly Topps and some Donruss and Upper Deck. Just got back into the hobby with football and loving it since I get to do it with my 13 year old boy.
Same brother. I'm having a blast getting into cards again with my 7 year old.
I loved the 1986 Tops Football because it has a great design and like Jeff it was one of my favorite to open up a lot of packs!
1975 Topps Baseball was the cornerstone of my collection...Robin Yount and George Brett rookie year
Opened a lot of 1989 Upper Deck.. still have my KGJ RC ungraded!
For me as a kid I was opening hockey cards and putting them on our bike wheel to make a clicking noise 😊
I have a Jerry Rice rookie in a box with some other cards that have been sitting for about 20 years. I wonder if it's worth getting graded. It looks like a solid print with decent centering.
YES, ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT BRO!!
The 1986 Bears were the reason I am a Bears fan. It was the first year I really got into football. When I started collecting the packs I ripped the most of were 1990 Upperdeck Baseball.
Do you mean the '85 Bears? Who went 15-1..There only loss was to Miami..on Monday night.
I was 10 in 1984. I remember having a ton of the 84 Topps Baseball. Living in the Detroit area, those WS Champs Tiger cards were the chase.
Geoff you probably won’t see this
But your videos got me started in investing in sports cards literally just started by buying Chronicles Masterbox’s from Walmart
Had no idea what I was doing but watching your videos I figured I could make money
I ended up pulling some Brock purdys
Eventually I started buying Prizm packs
I’ve profited $1,500 in the my first 3 months
Now I have an eBay store and over 1,000 football cards I’m busy posting online
Today I learned we have the same last name
!
Wow Jeff, great find I have been look for a Jerry Rice myself. God bless you, so happy for you.. 🤙🏻
Fun video to watch - I'm from Chicago so cool to see the cards that were out in that SB year! Will you post a reveal on what grade you got from PSA on the Rice RC?
That was fun to watch! Congrats on the J. Rice. I’ve got the Eagles 34 KC 24
I was ripping garbage pail kids open in 1986. That was a big deal back then. Lol. I started collecting sports cards in like 1990 at the age of 13. I remember going to the store in the 80s and seeing baseball cards but never thought to collect them. I would probably be rich had I been investing in 1986 fleer basketball or 86 topps football as there was a lot of high dollar cards in those years. Anyway great rip on those 86 topps football. I always get a thrill ripping open old packs from my childhood. Just takes me back. Great video 💯
I ripped an enormous amount of NFL Topps packs in 1984
1991 Upper Deck Baseball was my most opened, Nolan Ryan autograph hunting as a kid
1989 upper deck. It was the hottest thing because of the high quality of card in 1989. I played baseball for Florida Tech saved my travel good money to buy cards every road trip. Chase Griffey my whole college career.
I think the scroe will be 34-24 eagles. I'm an eagles fan so that Reggie White would be really cool.
My 9-year-old is the collector now. I went broke at Walmart with 96-97 Chrome Basketball. Still mad I sold my Kobe BGS 9 to a card shop for $150. AND Jermaine, Iverson, and Nash....but we learn. I had 2 full base sets.ungh It's fun to "school" him a bit now. He's a solid football and hockey kid though. We won a Twitter contest for an 86 Rice SGC 3.5 and he lost it. He likes Pokémon too. I'm still figuring that out. I appreciate the videos.
Super Bowl score Eagles 28-Chiefs 23. Great video and congrats on pulling a Rice rookie.
Nice Rice pull... I'd say definitely a 9... hopefully a 10!
Born in 78', the 85 & 86 Topps football were the first football cards I ever had. Geoff love watching you rip this, however you missed one of my personal favorites HOF Dan Fouts at 10:26 and 30:17. Nevertheless congrats on all the big RC pulls.
What was the grade of the rice rookie when it came back from PSA?
Ripped so many upper deck basketball from 2000-2005. I recently just got back into collecting.
I pulled a Rice rookie out of a couple rack packs . super excited that it is mint and centered.
88 donruss baseball! I'm solely responsible for the junk wax era. Lol
Love the chase, what a thrill! I’ll take that gummy Steve Young off your hands 😊
I have Steve young rookies from this set in good condition, interested?
When cards are stuck together like that , I lightly steam the cards to separate them then use wetdry or the lil bags that come in new shoes to take the moisture out of the air.
My best pack hit would have been UD Ken Griffey JR, two 89 Score Barry Sanders and one Troy Aikman rookies.
I went to a card shop back when Brady Quinn, Jamarcus Russell and I forget who the third QB was, but they opened up a new box of Sage Hit. I bought three packs and managed to pull out all three top QBs of that rookie year.
Bought this set back in the early 90s during my childhood collecting days. Younger me knew what I was doing. My Rice came back an 8 and Young a 7. Hope you get lucky on that Rice!
If your name was Geoff Wilson on your psa return you’d be hittin that 10-10
Could feel the relief when you saw the gum wasn't on the Smith to the despair when you realized it was Young who took the hit
Yeah 😔
Opened way to much 88 Donruss baseball looking for Greg Jeffries. And a ton of 1990 proset football looking for the Lombardi hologram and Emmit Smith.
not bad at least $400 worth of cards out $3500 dollar box
I remember ripping open alot of 91 Studio and 91 Donruss Baseball
86 topps football was my favorite set to open wax and put together sets with. The best set ever!!
Wow!! That Rice RC should at least get a 9 Mint, As long as the surface is clean.. Very nice man!!
You have as good a chance as you can ask for, congrats, and best of luck!
my most opened packs would be 1989 Topps and Upper Deck Baseball, or 1991 Topps Stadium Club baseball. I also opened a ton of 1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey.
Unfortunately, the product I opened as a kid was either 1990 Score or 1994 Collector's Choice (football), lol.
The product I had the most FUN opening as a kid was 1995 Sky Box Premium. LOVE the Mirror Images cards and base cards in that set. Also really enjoyed the Pay Dirt insert and I actually bought the complete insert set awhile back for cheap. For collectors looking for higher dollar cards, there are some rare parallels of that Pay Dirt insert set.
1989 Donruss- 2 Rack Pack Cases, a few boxes, and many packs from the party store near my house!
Great commentary by Geoff during this video which is hard to do by yourself. Also I was always pissed at Topps for putting gum in the packs as a kid and I still am all these years later! Ruined many cards that way.
