- In this video, I open up a BBCE authenticated box of 1978 Topps cello packs. The big find would be a Nolan Ryan, which recently sold for over $14,000 as a PSA 10 or an Eddie Murray rookie card.
Check out the video and see what we find!

It’s great every once in a while to watch an opening like this one. No autos, superfractors, numbered cards, jersey cards, etc. Just cards. The way it used to be.
Amen. I started collecting cards in the late 80s, early 90s and it was just cards and bubble gum. I'm 46 now. I miss those days 😢
The stamp inside box also says "order supplies online" people in 1978 didn't know wtf online meant in 1978. I was a senior in high school then. How is this inside an unopened box of baseball cards from 1978? Am I wrong. I have a box from 1979 and it doesn't say anything like that on it anywhere.
The Internet didn't go public until 1993
Born in 1963 loved baseball cards and the Tigers! Spent a Lion share of my paper route money on cards😊 Just never took care of them
That Jack Morris rookie card must have made your heart take flight!
1977 Topps were the best! Ron LeFlore (all-star), Rusty Staub (all-star), Mark Fidrych.
Im a professional card dealer. I suggest spraying each card with a clear coat resin. It helps with creases and shine.
How much was this box?
Ya that’s funny
These old cards take me back to my youth. I was 10 when this set was out, only if I had those cards still.
Sometimes a touch of WD-40 gets rid of the gum residue. Its old collector's trick.
I started collecting cards again about 18 months ago. We have a baseball card shop here( there's not many more around like back in the 80s and 90s) but Everytime I go I buy old cards from the 80s and 90s and it always make me feel like a kid again. I go twice a week. Sometimes weekly but it's such a thrill. 😊
'76 is when as a 13 yr. old I started collecting. Remember going to the local store plopping down my quarters & happily coming home during the hot summer w/my Slurpee. Topps packs & a comic book or two. Always in search of Reggie & Pete. Good times!
PETE ROSE FOR THE HALL OF FAME!!!! ITS TIME!!!!
Back in the 70's, I loved the checklists. That was my only way of knowing who I was missing.
What is the point of having this resealed and "certified" by the baseball exchange when it's obvious the packs inside have been manipulated? (USPS box looks like it was inserted for structural support)
If this box was tampered with or repacked or anything suspect, there’s no way in hell they would leave that Ryan in there! With only three PSA 10 Ryan’s out there, there’s no way they leave it in there! That Nolan Ryan he pulled is between a 9.5 & 10 easily.
The back of the Ryan is off center. It's still beautiful though.
I love these old breaks! There's so much anticipation for the next card. The whole time I was hoping for that sweet Eddie Murray card or the Ryan. At least we got the Ryan!
I love how excited you get when you pull a hit! It’s awesome to be able to feel your love of the chase and collecting.
I’m from Detroit and as a kid I bought a ton of these that year. I got a ton of Yankees but hardly any Tigers. All I ever wanted was the Bird Fidrych but a pic of the card I cut out of Parade which came with the Sunday paper was all I ever got.
Wow!! some amazing pulls! That Nolan Ryan is so clean!
How much was this box?
@@Wolf-xu1fj I didnt open this box, youd need to ask the person whose channel it is...also u r replying to a video/comment from 4 years ago.
I'm not a card collector I did as a kid in the early 80's but I'm always amazed a peice of paper with a picture can be worth so much money. I love the Thursday show seeing all the players I know and love. Wade Boggs and reggie Jackson were always my two favorites
I opened 100s of 78 Topps packs when I was a kid.
WOW, this was my time collecting cards.. I remember all of these cards.. I just wish I still had them..
Fantastic choice going with the 78 Topps. I was alive in 1978 and I did buy a lot of them. Enough that I put the complete set together. I had 4 Eddie Murray cards back in the day. I only kept one for the complete set and sold the other three to buy more cards in the late 80's
I LOVE the looks of the '78 Topps set!!
How does an unopened box have modern advertising inside the edges?
These look in great condition and remembered getting this set taken up in class during grade school. GREAT VIDEO!
32:51 I hope Jonathan does include that note to PSA so they know it was pack to one touch. That will overrule any condition issues and instant PSA 10. LOL
I love the 1978 Topps set. It’s one of the first I remember trying to complete the set.
I used to live about 5 miles from this store. I took my son there a couple years back while we were back up there visiting family.
Really cool break. Some good hits and happy to see the Ryan, Rose and other Rookies.
Erik, thank you for this trip down memory lane!! I was 11 in ‘78 and had so many of these cards in my bike spokes 🚲=🏍🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️we were kids!! LOL love the look. Pack freakin fresh!! The Hawk looked so young!!
I was 9 years old and 78 was the first cards I bought. Was at Kmart every weekend buying rack packs for 79 cent's with my allowance 😀
Great stuff as usual Erik, keep ripping the old stuff brings back memories of my childhood I started really collecting hardcore in 1972.
Love throwback Thursday! So much fun. Bummer no Murray, but very nice Nolan Ryan and Jack Morris cards. Loved the Johnny Bench as well
closest an adult can feel like a kid on christmas again.
Love old Topps sets!
Any update on the Ryan card? Was it graded?
I had most of these cards from this year. I started collecting these for fun as a 6 year old.
Brought back memories of the old days for me. I can still remember being 9 years old opening 1965 packs. Thanks Erik for the memories, great open.
Wow! Nolan Ryan card like that is a pipe dream.
Oh, man. I’d love to have that Dawson gold cup card. My baseball hero.
Growing up 1990, 12 yrs old, I had a ‘54 Stan Musial and a R Yount Rk, I starred collecting in ‘89, went crazy when I got a Chris Sabo and Bo Jackson. Lol
Great to see that you actually got one of the big cards in this one
Great break and great cards. You never lose the excitement of open up a pack of cards and finding that great card. Great video's so keep up the great job.
cello packs are the way to go! Those cards look really nice for being over 40 years old!
awesome nolan ryan!! great throwback thursday!!
Brings back a lot of great childhood memories.
that nolan Ryan man,my heart jumped outta my chest for a sec!!!!
On the inside top of the box it says "check us at USPS.COM' there was no internet in 78? They wrapped the inside of the box as part of the shipping?
jack morris is all over ebay in a psa 9 for around $60.00 to $80.00
Love the love for Robin Yount
love topps and these old openings are amazing i wish cards were still 50c lol
Thats a good looking set would love to own a complete set. Congrats Jason C. on that Nolan Ryan beautiful card.
Awesome Nolan Ryan Card!
I love seeing all of these packs from before I was born being opened (born in 94); I love the history of the game, so it is awesome to see!
Oh man, thats a beautiful Nolan Ryan!
Hey there. I was 9yrs old when this came out. As I am 50 this year it’s making me feel old. Lol.
I love these when I was a kid! we would look through the box for a star.
Wow! man wish i had a time machine. I love your throwback Thursdays!!!
I really enjoy watching the throwback video's the hunt for what could be in it
I love the old boxes from the 70s
Really enjoyed this video, how the video is done, your explanations. really brought back some memories. Collected mainly in the 1970’s, but things happen sold off my collection, if I only knew then what I know now, there might have been a few great cards I had, considering I had around 50,000+ cards, only if we could go back in time, lol. I’m sure I had a few high $$$ cards. This was probably the last year I bought cards. Makes me want to get back into collecting again.
Great video I had 82 Topps cards 1954 PSA 8 sad to say lost my job had to sale. This was 5 years ago,I wish still had them. Well that’s life.
Pete LaCock card and you said nothing!
doesn't want to get demonitized by the stupid youtube filters
He does the same thing for Jimmy Sexton, Richie Sexson, Kosuke Fukudome, Nick Punto, Chien-Ming Wang, Kerry Wood, Bartolo Colon, Charlie Furbush, Albert Pujols, Rollie Fingers, Doug Fister, and RA Dickey.
And Rusty Kuntz?
Pete LaCock is the son of Peter Marshall(Holywood Squares MC)
@@emolachance wow didn't know that !!!
Just wondering about the .com stamp on the INSIDE
of the box...is that from 1978? lol
1978 Topps Baseball and Football cards were the 1st ones I collected as a kid, so they hold a very special place in my heart. I remember getting my allowance and going to the store to buy them.
Love this set. Just received the Murphy card in mail today off eBay. Hoping to complete Braves set from this as well as HOFers.
Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!
Nice Ryan! The thing you have to wonder about older cello packs is if collectors were able guess which packs likely have the big hits in them based on the top and bottom cards. If people knew that Ryan was going to be worth thousands today, who knows if that would have came out of this box.
I love the old cards back then
So many cards in that pack are PSA worthy.
I used to have this complete set, In 1984 I bought a few Topps variety cello packs from a K Mart, the ones that come in a strip of 3 packs, when I opened pack 2 there was a probably PSA 7 or so 1962 Willie Mays, the year with the wood borders, being 84 it was only 22 years old and not worth anywhere near what it is now and I had a friend who ended up opening a card store in our town with his dad, he offered me a 78 Topps set still in the wrapper for it and I agreed lol, I kick myself to this day
I used to buy these same packs as a kid in a grocery store in Wheeling Wv as a kid. I used to buy stacks of these cello packs every trip to the store....and comic books
I love these cards I was 13 years old when they came out
always great to see the older cards.
Man. That was fun Jabs. I know 4yrs old , hadn't seen this one. Thx. Rainy Sunday fun. Lol
Great Throw Back Thursday Break. Lot of Hall of Famers
$8 in 1978 was worth about $31+ in 2019 dollars. Was super cool to see the Ryan right towards the end. Good stuff.
I was only four years old when this set came out. Started collecting around 1984
That's what checklists were for.... loved the checklist because we could keep track of our collections !
See what we had and what we needed.... I would trade cards for checklists asap so I'd know who was in the full set ✌😎
That 2nd Morris looked pretty good....
Maybe a 7 - 8 or with some luck a 9 but a 10 is a big ask from PSA for cards from the 70's !
Good luck to all of those who got some big name cards 😉
Rose should be in the HOF ! God knows the have plenty of his record breaking items in there.... so it's time !
Jack Morris rookies, the winningest pitcher in the awesome 80s! Okay Jabs I need a Delorean time machine like Back To The Future!
Chris Drake ik right, his son is in my grade. Got to go to target field to watch him give a speech about being brought into the hof along with the rest of our baseball organization
When I first collected, I stumbled across a collection at this garage sale. I regret passing it up.
Awesome year for Topps!! Love the rookies coming out of here. Great video and congrats on the awesome pulls
I really miss the days of buying cards, opening them, chewing gum, etc... good times!
Hope to see 1970s boxes more often in the future! I know they cost an arm and a leg.
These cello packs were examined by the original owner who put in the USPS cardboard piece. I knew early on that the cello box was practically worthless. Experienced collectors can estimate what cards are in cellos since Topps sorting was predictable.
I just left that comment too, no response from anyone??? And that company who supplied/sold the box put a "security" seal on the box 🙄
I love the throwback Thursday and this one was very exciting to watch.
Nice box bust! Took me back 40 years. I actually knew a lot of the players on the card backs pre-opening; I used that skill to bag a '74 Aaron when I was 8.
My 78 Topps are in rough shape because we played the game as a kids :( Nice video
Yeah me too I love playing that game as a kid
Hitting those 70's is awesome!
That was cool. Never seen a 70s box opening before.
Those cards look so good and clean, 40 year old brand new card .nice
Nice break, some nice cards. I just wish you could have pulled a Murray. He's my all time favorite player and it would have been cool to see that one pulled fresh out of the pack. Still cool to see, this was even a year before I opened my first pack.
I love seeing those old cards in such a good condition.
Being a Tigers fan that was the best rookie year ever - Trammell, Whitacker, Morris and Lance Parish. Following year was Dan Petry and the year after that Kirk Gibson. Whomever was on their scouting staff should be in the hof. Set the stage for the '84 championship
Love the throwback series. Can't wait to see some older wax get opened!!
I bought these cellophane packs from this year at Thrify Drugstore in Vacaville Ca. Back in the day. I still have a nice pile of them in my collection.
Love all these old cards.
Awesome box break
Great find
Ryans a solid 9 to 9.5....amazing cardddd.....
I remember buying those when I was 8 years old playing T-ball (yes I’m old lol )
After baseball practice I would get a pack of em at the little store around the corner from my house
This is the first season I started collecting and also completed the entire set one pack purchase at s time. What got me started was when i opened my first pack, the one and only card produced of a guy who went to my high school was in it! (A western PA guy, Jabs, as it turns out)
Dude come on!! you know better about cards!! you know damn well the Nolan Ryan is off centered and is a psa 8 if you are lucky. also, most ofg the prices you gave are way inflated. you know that none of those cards you pulled are psa 10 so stop ramping them up such as and making people think they have a chance at a gem mint card. alot of them dont exist for a reason.
The Assist Man this dude gotta chill ppl make mistakes
Dude does this in all his commentary, it’s exhausting and annoying
Beautiful cards. Nice to see them pack-fresh. Thanks Erik, this is a great series.
I Wish sometimes I could just go back in time for all the vintage sets and buy some cases. I would be rich 14 year old lol.
One of my favorite sets... so many memories!
My sister dated Steve Trout. Kinda cool to see his card there. He was a great guy and an awesome southpaw starter. I am and have always been a die hard Cubs fan, and Steve pitched with the Cubbies for a few year's in mid 80's. He was on that great 84 team. He gave my brother and I tics to the 84 home opener, and he started, and finished, that game. Without cheating and looking at stats, let's see how I do. He pitched a complete game and gave up 3 hits, and the Cubs smoked the Mets 10-2 ... Cubbies never blinked or looked back that season. But I digress. Yeah, Steve and my sister were long broken up by then, having gone out years before when he was rookie with White Sox. We didn't dig him so much then ... It's a Northside thing .... But it was cool as shit of him to remember us and , my sister was married by then, give my bro and I box seats right above the Cub dugout.
PS.... So I just checked the stats from opening day of 84 at Wrigley...... Final was 11-2 (not 10-2) and he only gave up 2 hits not 3. But I did damn good for someone whose been to a million Cub games since then.
