- We're goin' old school today! 90s-era basketball cards are on the rise, and it just so happens to be the time period when I collected the most. So I'm taking a trip down memory lane and ripping some random 1990-95 basketball packs! Let's go Jordan (and Shaq) hunting!

Just a tip my friend, if you put these packs in the freezer for a few hours, they will seperate much easier and no paper loss, im a big 90s collector.
I keep meaning to give this a try. I tried to microwave a brick of non-foil cards the other day, but it actually made the paper loss worse.
@@SageTheCollector yes heating the cards make the glossyness worse, freezing them removes the stickyness..give it a go
I never heard this before, thank you for dropping this knowledge!
I have since tried this. The cards did seem to come apart easier, but you have to deal with condensation afterwards.
Freezer and Microwave both sound like terrible options. 😆
You've come a long way since this 1st one. Way better now.👍
Thanks! I hope that's true.
@@SageTheCollector dw you have
That Shaq at 13:00 of the video is about a $300-400 card in PSA 10 right now in 2022. "Still going Jordan-less" (opening early series packs from the 94-95 season)
Sadly, mine got a 7. 😢
Chris Jackson? I liked the design of the '93-94 Fleer. If the manufacturers would have left the card backs "paper" we wouldn't have the bricking of today. But who knew right? Fun rip if nothing else. You wouldn't miss the Topps Black Gold. Pretty much the whole card is Black with some gold foil. They were 1 per box I think.
Yeah, it’s always so much nicer ripping old packs of plain paper cards. It’s just like opening them 30 years ago.
This was the heyday of when I collected. Loved building all these sets.
Me, too!
Haha it’s so crazy that I have binders and binders and binders of these cards.
I was just looking at the silver Jordan card in the background and realized I have a near complete set of that.
Along with the gold all star cards from that set.
91’ - 95/96 was when I collected hardcore.
Most of the cards are in pretty good condition. Definitely PSA 7 or greater imo.
Nice! 💪🏻
The upper decks and the fleer ultra were the ones I used to get. Man this brings back so many memories
I miss both a lot. I miss SkyBox the most though.
These rips bring sooo many great memories back. Love love love these packs! I would do the Shaq Rookie or Jordan
Same here! 🙏🏻
Some of 94 95 series has no Michael Jordan because of retirement.
Yeah, almost all 94-95 sets have no MJs.
Love the early 90s! Must have ripped 1000 fleer ultra packs back then. They were so cheap too! Lol
Yeah. I miss the days of ripping tons of SkyBox packs back in the early 90s.
This brought back fond memories and a smile to my face :) I miss the 90s basketball!
I’m glad you liked it! I have plenty more Jordan Hunting videos to watch. 😁 You can still buy boxes of these on eBay for fairly cheap. Pick up a box or two and have some fun. 👍🏻
@@SageTheCollector I have been watching a number of the Jordan ones you have done and I'm enjoying them :) I live in Australia so I'm not sure, but I think getting these boxes cheap is harder when you don't live in America with shipping cost and other cost. Can I ask what is the average cost of a box of each these would you pay?
Yeah. Everything is more expensive in Australia with shipping for sure. That makes it harder. I bought my boxes right before the prices jumped so I only paid about $20-$30 USD per box.
Nice 80’s themed background music
The good old times with upper deck. The you crash the game insert was fun and I believe they ended up changing the name of it to you predict. I wonder why they stopped doing that since it’s kinda like fantasy sports.
Nice 90's pack. Love it 🤩
😍
Rauf AKA Chris Jackson I believe...
Correct :)
I want my gold star, I stuck through the whole video! 😁. Nice Jordan hunting video. His 90’s stuff is going for crazy prices graded at a 10 because of the documentary. Looked forward to watching more of these!
⭐️
I think the 90s-era prices skyrocketing have more to do with Gary V than the The Last Dance, but the doc is certainly helping.
That Shaq rookie was nice
Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul Raheef was/is considered one of the few at will scorers, this is confessed by MJ, Reggie Miller, Penny, Shaq, Barkley and many other NBA elite players. I mean he was lighting up Ice Cubes 3 player league "The Big 3". He was one of the Top Scorers and he is 50+, dude is a killer, its a shame what the league did
Yeah. That dude could (can) score.
I Love the Grant Hill cards awesome 👍👍
Good to see there are still Grant Hill fans. 👍🏻
Those crash the game cards were awesome!! If the player got whatever they were supposed to get 10 rebounds or 10 assists you would get a set of cards in silver, gold, or platinum!!
Yeah. It’d be cool if Panini brought those back. 😁
hey this is a cool youtube channel. I am a 10 year old and my dad gave me all of his cards when he was a kid in the early 90s. I started my own youtube channel opening up cards, your youtube has given me some good tips. thanks.
Nice! Good luck with your channel and collecting!
@@SageTheCollector Thank you good luck to your channel
That Shawn Kemp packs to the top right, I had the card and it was rebounding. They said if he reaches a certain amount of rebounds for the year I can submit it and get the whole collection. I never sent it in and never checked if he got the rebounds that year or not.
Well now you have to look it up to see! 😁
Love the cards from my youth
Everytime you open those skybox packs i see a Timberwolfs team logo card and wish i had one.. can't find any of those
Hit me up in Instagram
Looks like you did well specially if u get the hits graded n grade well
I've actually got some Jordans coming back from PSA in the next month or two. I also did a big PSA reveal video w/ a bunch of Jordans last year. Check it out.
good vidéo ! i like it ! thank
Thanks!
were most of those packs from when Jordan was retired and playing baseball…no wonder you pulled no jordans
Ha. No. Jordan only played baseball during the 1993 basketball season.
Classic cards. Nice throwback video
Thanks!
Nice video, dude 👍🏻As a kid, I had a ton of these trading cards....God knows whatever happened to them. Recently, I have been collecting old school NBA cards again, and I came across a few nice finds on eBay. I bought a '91-'92 Upper Deck Larry Bird and Drazen Petrovic, and a '90-'91 Sky Box Reggie Lewis.
Nice! As you can tell, I've got a lotta love for early-90s basketball cards. 😉
Just came across your channel when I saw you comment on a another channel I view. I just joined your channel to get you one closer to 200, 500, and 1,000 viewers and beyond. I used to buy all of these packs as a kid and in my early teens. A lot of these would be great for TTM autographs if that is something that interests you? I have had success with getting the likes of Muggsy Bogues, Glen Rice, etc. I am not positive but I am pretty sure that is a Jason Kidd parallel RC you pulled out of the Upper Deck Pack, not a huge insert but definitely worthy of throwing in a top loader because that set is hugely condition sensitive with those black borders. I am glad I landed here as I love connecting with others who enjoy sports and collecting cards. I want to wish you the best as your channel continues to grow and will be looking for new content in the future and may even check out some of your older content as well. Thanks for sharing your latest card pickups and as always Happy Collecting!
Thanks for watching! I’ll definitely check out the Kidd card. I just recorded another early-90s video today, so stay tuned! :)
Please rip some more junk wax reliving the 90s vicariously through these videos 😂
I’ve done 33 of these Jordan Hunting videos, so plenty of videos to watch. 😁
@@SageTheCollector well then I better go back and binge your videos again 😅
@@mjordandagoat 💯
Good stuff man. Going through about 5 boxes of the 90-91 Skybox set, both series, right now... My personal favorite so far is Johnny Moore because he's one of the few guys from my hometown to have made it to the NBA. It was also Moore's last season and the inaugural season for Skybox so his only skybox card. . .He was also one of the guys from Altoona that I never had a card from so this one was my first. The other Altoona guys I collect are Mike Iuzzolino, Doug West, and Danny Fortson (Who was born in Philly, but was raised in Altoona and played high school ball at AAHS before transferring to Shaler (I think) in Pittsburgh for his senior season, so, people still claim him as an Altoona hooper quite often). Doug West is actually the current Altoona High varsity basketball coach. I think Izzy coaches for Robert Morris now maybe...
Yes 1994 to mid 1995 Jordan was retired from basketball and was playing baseball for the whitesocks
I actually just picked up one of his baseball cards the other day. I never had any back in he day. It’s pretty silly that they exist. But I guess they aren’t the silliest MJ cards that exist. 😄
Nice shaq
Chris Jackson!
Yessss
💪🏻
Hey man, that second in from the right NBA Hoops Jordan you got showcased, I think it's #65, but you ever hear of any misprints of that card??? I was going through a few boxes of that series 2 90-91 nba hoops last week and got TWO MJ #65 misprints that had Jay Humphries back printed on the back. . Ever hear of any one else finding these? I can't find any on Ebay past or present or even mentioned on any card sites...
No, I have not heard of that. I’ll have to check all of mine now.
Mine are all Michael Jeffrey Jordan on the back.
Yupp Chris Jackson. Went to LSU with shaq
I had that poster as a youth
"If it was Bill Laimbeer, I would chuck that"
My Brother.
It’s the proper thing to do. 😉
Any interest in selling any of these skybox cards?
Sure
Couldnt you look up a method to heat up the wax to a point where stickiness is removed? Or rather restored...?
Interesting...
Like 7 seconds in a microwave? You ever try anything like that?
I did try that. Didn't help. Nothing I've tried has helped, unfortunately.
Actually there are two subset of Clyde Dexter. One set is number. The other set is not. Both set are pink cards 💗
I don't think there are numbered versions of the 1993 Fleer Drexler Career Highlights, but there are rare autographed versions.
Mohammed Abdul Rauf - Chris Jackson. I was yelling it out lol
😁
Sage who is your favourite basketball player that hasn’t played for the bulls
Good question. I'll have to think about that one.
As someone who grew up in the late 80's early 90's, we didn't even want those 90' Skybox fleer back then, why the hell people want them now is beyond me and cracks me up.
One word: Jordan ;)
Check out what his PSA 10s from the nineties are going for on eBay, and it makes sense.
Go Shawn Kemp🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡😎😎😎😎
That Shaq rookie looked like a good pull. But how could you get a Shaq rookie and a 2nd year Shaq in the same pack? 🤔😆
I don’t think I opened any 1992 packs, so there couldn’t be any Shaq rookies.
@12:51 Shaq Rookie. Right?
@@iliketocomment8144 Ah. Those aren't rookie cards; they're just called Rookie Sensations. (I agree, it's slightly confusing.) They're cards of rookies from the previous season.
If you think about it CL isn't that weird of a pick for the Dream Team... That was the first year pros were allowed on the Olympic b ball teams but there was a stipulation that at least NCAA player was on the team (Or something like this.. I forget the technical explinaiton). Sure Shaq and Mourning were there, but they didn't win in college like CL did, and this had historically been a college athlete based team.. so it sorta makes sense to pick a guy who won NCAA 2 Championships and was player of the year... CL did have 1 allstar appearance and spent 8 of his 13 years in the NBA in double digit scoring averages. I feel like his was just a weird size & talent match for his era though.. He probably would have done better in today's league. Teams played him at center at a time when David Robinson, Ewing, Oneal, Mourning, etc were prized and all-star level centers
Yeah. He was born in the wrong decade for sure.
Me and my grandpa find all his old baseball cards basketball cards his football cards and all that stuff when he gets off work we gonna find more
Nice! That sounds fun!
Jordan hunting is catchy that is why I saw the video but maaaaan you should do some more research on the players names and cards. I didn’t understand why you took soo long to see the differences in Mugsy’s collector’s choice base card and the players choice seal...
We can't all be experts on all sets. And I certainly don't pretend to be an expert. It's all for fun. And I think I'm pretty good with names, especially during this era.
Felton Spencer 😂
94-95 was a bad year to collect JORDAN. He was MIA
He does show up in several sets still that year, but yeah, typically it’s Pippen hunting in 94-95 instead.
@@SageTheCollector that 94 ultra set doesn’t have a jordan.
@@Dociletapeworm No it doesn't. But I also collect Pippen.
And Charlotte Hornets are a team I'd buy cards of.
does anyone still sell 1 pack of 90s basketball cards like in this video in 2022? I really want to buy it, it reminds me of my childhood..
If you can find a local card show, there might be a vendor that’s selling some
@@SageTheCollectordo you have any recommendation ?
Its funny or sad how I dont even know or recognize so many players in these decks.
Yeah, even I don't remember a lot of these players, and I was watching basketball and collecting cards back then.
36:50
you missed a card there sticking to the dreamy one
trigger-alert, WHAT IF ITS A JORDAN?!
Ha! I think you're right! 😄
Do u sell? Interested in Celtics if u do.
I haven’t started selling yet, but soon. Gotta get organized first.
Would I be able to buy some from?
Email me or DM me on Instagram
@@SageTheCollector what is your email address?
@@unifive10 It’s in the video description
Technically wouldn't that subset be given more Jordan cards n to understand his mind as a talent evaluation standpoint
Hi sir.you stel collecting card?Im here from phillipines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Definitely! I post three new videos every week! I’m actually posting a new Jordan Hunting video tomorrow. 👍🏻
Those white dots are supposed to be stars
John starks is good lol.
I just threw up in my mouth a little while reading that 🤢 😄
Anyways why do you hate him so much? Also you have a good channel
@@darby2807 I’m along-time Bulls fan, and Starks was Public Enemy #1 back in the 90s during the Bulls and Knicks rivalry.
@@darby2807 Thanks! 🙏🏻
Ahhh that makes sense
How I wish the packs were review first.
The fine print on the back of the packs?
You're funny. Entertaining video. Thanks
Jordan wasn’t in that fleer set... he was retired in 93
Correct. 94-95 is (usually) Pippen hunting time.
Jordan was in the 1993-94 fleer set I have his card. Some 1993-94 cards were made before he announced his retirement in October of 1993.
Chris Jackson
Chris Jackson.
Hi
And I have a card of Larry Bird and he's. Playing baseball and I have the last one of him
👍🏻
Spud only won dunk contest once
It was awesome to watch. 💪🏻
Jordan hunting! But I like ZION HUNTING JA HUNTING RJ HUNTING BETTER I love Zion!
Have no fear - I do those as well 😁
The insert cards is the reason why I quit the hobby.
Some inserts are lame, but some are excellent.
Jordan didn’t play in 94 or 95
Correct. Jordan cards still exist in some 94-95 sets as inserts. But when there are no Jordans, you just switch to Pippen hunting. ;)
Spud Webb a 2x dunk champ? 🤦♂️
It was pretty fun to watch
@@SageTheCollector he never won twice
how are you looking for MJ in the years that he was not playing?.....
It becomes Pippen Hunting in 1994-95 :)
Not much Michael Jordan 94-95 he played baseball.
Yep. There are still a couple sets with him in it still.
No jordan in 94-95
Jordan cards still exist in some 94-95 sets as inserts. But when there are no Jordans, you just switch to Pippen hunting. ;)
Id buy that shaq insert if your interested in selling it. Shoot me a reply and let me know .
I submitted it to PSA. It came back a 7. 😕
At least you got yours back . Sent 10 cards to them in march and still haven't gotten them back.
@@jasonfrahm4275 You have a ways to go, unfortunately. I’m still waiting for a sub I sent back in November.
I have My basketball card collection for 17 years.wish card or company card is valued if some one looking for old card players or coaches let me know i have Big collection tons cards
LeBron for sure. But just go on eBay and search for the cards, and you can find out if any of them are worth money.
That jordan in the background on the far left someone has it for sale on ebay for 10 thousand dollars
Hahaha. It’s a $3-$5 card, and that’s way up in the past month. That’s actually not the worst I’ve seen either. Someone had it up for $20k the other night I think. Probably the same guy. 😄
Too early....nothing good.
