I'm one of those people that misses Saturday morning cartoons, but this kind of fills the void.
Agreed
Road Runner is on DVD. I have one.
@@IsaidQUIETnHERE ditto. Simpler, better times.
Saturday morning cartoons Saturday afternoon wrestling and getting a Don Mattingly 1986 card in your tops pack life was great
💯👍
I was 15 during game 1 of the World Series in 88. Still get chills listening to that call.
It was a good day when Mom brought a couple packs of cards home for me and my brother to open. Thanks for reminding me of some great memories.
What a feeling! Walking to the corner store and picking up a pack for .50 cents and dreaming of one day being able to buy a box for $12.50
Kirby Puckett will always be my favorite player. Mainly for his love for the game, this fans, and his team. Always smiling and giving his best.
Nice! He was my fav too. Had like 10 of his rookie cards back in the day. 91 was an amazing world series for him
I have a handful of these. The Billy Ripken is still one of my all-time favorite cards. Can't get enough of that wonderful "error".
I have several of these cards. I started collecting (again) around 1980. I had a collection as a kid, mostly 60's cards, and gave them away. I stumbled upon a card show as a 30 year old and I couldn't believe what I had given away. So I started collecting again and built up a decent collection. 🙃 Some day I am going to get motivated and go through them and sort them out. Maybe find out what they are worth. I do have a sentimental attachment to them.
I have every card in this collection. My dad bought every set and traded set for me until 1992 then I started to buy them myself and continue for my kids now. Dad has passed away so the collection is crazy I have every complete set of topps upper deck fleer etc going back to the 50s never opened still in boxes.
I’m with you I collected in the late 70’s and into the 80’s before going to play college ball at USC. My most memorable was catching Randy Johnson during a Saturday Morning in early Feb in 1986 just before the start of the MLB spring training session. I still have the Catcher’s mitt I used during the Bullpen session.
I'm at about 90% of the ones shown. It's a shame about Sosa and Maguire . I definitely have all of those Griffey Jr. Only problem is how to unload them.
Not sure how/why this turned up in my feed, but it brought back memories... I was 16 years old in 1987, had gotten back into cards in 86 after collecting heavily in 78-80... I got a sales and use tax license, started buying boxes at wholesale and sold at card shows, bringing $800 a day! Freakin special cards, Tiffany cards and all that crap ruined it and priced me out of things by 92. (that and being in College and doing "other" things, ahem...
Gwynn ended up with 8 batting titles. His rookie cards are very underrated in my book.
One of the best pure hitters of all time!
Garvey had more 200 hit seasons.
@@jude999 True, and I think Garvey should also be in the Hall, but having watched both play their whole careers, I 'd still take Gwynn if I had a choice. Not sure why there's such a knock on Garvey that's keeping him out, but hopefully he'll eventually get in.
Completely agree! Imagine the attention and value if he played for the Yankees his entire career...
Yeah. I bought a tony Rookie in good shape for 20.00
How can you say these are worthless!!!!!! They are priceless to me. The years I’ve put into going to shows ripping packs and categorizing with my son are some of our fondest memories. Could truly care less how much they sell for. Mine (all 3 sports) have endured the years and wouldn’t be for sale anyway
The Jack Buck call was good. But nothing could compare to watching that game live in 1988, when I was 9. Hearing Vin Scully build that at bat pitch by pitch until it's ultimate conclusion of Gibson's homerun. I still get goosebumps when I see that ball jump off of Gibson's bat on that 3-2 backdoor slider.
🎉⁶]⁰
i remember him limping around the bases. i was little & didn't realize he was injured and only asked to pinch hit because they had no-one left on the bench. if it was a regular season game he would've been on the DL. how crazy
Wade Boggs the only rookie that looked like he was a 20 yr vet.
Yeah he did have that look. A great hitter though, he was 25 when he finally got to play regularly.
Too bad he couldn't do a routine play that my grandma could
@@BoleDaPole too bad your confusing Boggs with Buckner
@@blessembreaks ha ha, lmao,,,,some folks should refrain from media.
It was all the chicken. Ask him, he will tell you. (Heh)
I have a complete 1989 upper deck set. Ken Griffy was first in the stack when you opened it. Also have complete 1986 Topps. I remember buying them. Thanks for saving my cards Mom!
I remember playing with all my hockey cards in the 80s knock downs, closees, And all the other games. Much more valuable than money
I love those 1989 Bowman cards!!! I bought them up when they were new. I was a kid. I hated that the cards didn't fit in my binder sheets. I think it is one of the best looking sets of all time. So simple. Great photography. A work of art.
Too big
Totally the bowman's are the shit
For the next version of this video, you might consider including:
- 1983 O-Pee-Chee Tony Gwynn
- 1983 O-Pee-Chee Ryne Sandberg
Both of those are rarer in PSA 9 or above, and often command prices over US counterparts.
- 1987 Donruss Opening Day Barry Bonds error (showing Johnny Ray)
This card is quite scarce, and in PSA 9 and above, often sells higher than standard rookie cards
Just about no one has the O-Pee-Chee cards either.
Love your content!!!...Great brining up cards from the 'past'....I am over 60 but been collecting for years...even during the 80's so I enjoy these videos so much...I have many cards that you previewed...Have to go back upstairs to see what I have...Topps Tiffany was a great set...so was Fleer...never knew about the Bowman Tiffany..Thanks again!!!
I was 20 in 1988 and usually every weekend we’d go to this bar in the next town over that would serve us but one Saturday night I was sick and watched the Gibson homer live. Crazy.
Can you do a vid without the Tiffany's, most of us don't have those, thanks!
I agree. I never even heard of Topps Tiffany in the 80’s and I went to a ton of shows.
Agree 100%. I was an avid collector in the 80's. Bought Topps for years, picked up Fleer and Donruss when they came around, and then Upper Deck. Never heard of Tiffany. Which makes this video kind of useless, since it's 90% Tiffany.
If they aren’t Tiffany’s, they aren’t worth more than $20-$30. Therefore it’s pointless to make a video
@@traviscoates6878 It's pointless to list the Tiffanys also, none of us had access to them
@@TheEnd-eg6wq honestly i thought the same thing until i really looked at my cards and found out the differences between a topps traded or a tiffany and i found that i have a bunch of Tiffany cards not knowing i did... But yes it sucks the same card is worth 5xs less because it isn't a Dealer issued card in which is bullshit
Awesome vid as always, me brudda! Makes me want to pull out my old cards right now and start digging through them!
Have had my Kirby Puckett and Mark McGuire USA card in a hard case since the 80s, never touched, mint condition...thanks!
I dig the fact you get right to the point on card values.i have been a collector since 1984.and because of you I will have to take a good look at my cards ty.so very much for this video.cg
Thanks for this video! It's crazy to see how much sports cards have evolved since the 80's.
I know I have some of those cards in my collection from the mid to late 80s - brought back some old memories instantly. My parents found my card collection when they recently moved, but I haven't gone through it yet.
Thanks a bunch for doing this video Chris,I learned a few things about my older Cards !! Keep up your Awesome info videos 💯🤘🇺🇸
I remember in 1986 the donruss don mattingly card was the highest value card that year. I had 2 complete sets. Also in 1986 I went to about 30 met home games because a company that came to our restaurant had season tickets 10 rows behind the Mets dugout. The only 2 players that signed autographs, and they did every time, was Raphael Santana and Darrel strawberry . I had at least 20 signed cards of each of them.
I remember I had 4 of the Bill Ripken Error Cards and my little Brother ran his mouth and told my Parents who immediately confiscated them! They were going crazy that one of their boys had a card with "Such Language" on it... I had every intention of killing my Baby Brother... The Good Old Days...
But... I bet you kept your Garbage Pail Kids cards nice and safe?
@@saintmiller3584 Yeah! You should come take a look at my Collection so I can have the opportunity to Slap you!
@@toddrichardson8595 Sorry, not in to BDSM...
what was written on the bottom of Billy Ripkin's bat?
Terrence, The words written on the bottom of the bat were Fu$k Face.
Holy crap dude! Thanks for the much-needed trip down memory lane!! :-) What a blast from the past... I still have a few of these beauties from my own child hood... MAN! YES! Great vid :-)
We have three boxes of 1986-1991 cards. Some even still in the bubblegum wrap. I calculate over 2000 cards. Took a couple handfuls out and a lot of the cards on this list within the years I stated, are in there. Just fun to watch the videos and then search the cards. Thanks for the information. Very well spoken video.
Awesome roundup of those cards, appreciate your expertise and insights !
thanks for the video! it's awesome to see what I used to have (as I cry) and the ones I still have (jumping for joy)
As a kid I had like 4 of the Bowman Griffey Rookie cards, but the upper deck was the one everyone wanted. Makes you wish you could go back in time lol. Cool video
Wow I have 2 shoe boxes full of 80s cards. I had no idea they were worth so much. I guess they will be ebay bound soon thanks for the info.
I have multiples of each card!!
Back in the early 90s as a high school graduation present one of my uncles gifted me each year in the 80s complete card set of Donruss and fleer and tops!
It’s funny I had everyone of these cards back in the 80s most of them I had 4-5 of each of them! Just didn’t realize as a kid how valuable they would be one day!!
I ran the numbers. Gwynn and Boggs did combine for 90 batting titles. At least that’s how I remember it.
Science.
Yup....90 Batting titles.!
And coincidentally the two combined for a total of 900k hits exactly. Just another one of those fun baseball oddities.!
Nice video Chris.. Nice video I love these videos.. Old cards just have a great look to them
Thank you for the video! Brought back lots memories with my cards
stumbled onto this video today. My Youngest Son and I started collecting these cards in the early 80's. I cant remember the exact year we started, now after watching this video i want to get them out. They have been in storage for years. I dont even know if my Son still has his. He ended up joining the service in the early 90's, at a much older age than most young ppl join. He did very well, he was with the 3rd Infantry division who first went into Iraq for that war. He took care of all the weapons for them, and his vehicle he rode in, armored, was kept back in the line, and well protected. He came home eventually, but was in one of time/life magazine called 21 days to Iraq.
He then started teaching weaponry at our local base here in Wi. He earned many certificates, and was trained in many different jobs he held. He had framed certificates that covered all of one wall in his large study. He really enjoyed teaching there at that base. But the work he had to do in Iraq caught up with him, and he separated from the Military employment. But it didnt stop him from going to school. He is in the last page's of that Time/Life magazine, he is pictured with one other, and they were tasked to do what we would find very hard to do as citizens/non military, and that work came back to haunt him in later years. It is a picture, their backs only, and they are just following orders, tagging and Identifying.
Now I want to get those cards out and remember a better time with him as a teenager, the fun we shared with those baseball cards. They have been well stored. Should all be in good condition. All bought new.
I remember buying up Canseco Donruss rookies from $1 to $6 as the season progressed.
I guess no one on here has an Ozie Canseco card?
I watched your video and I remembered I bought the Griffey Bowman as a team set back in the day. I just found my cards and there it is. Thanks for your video!
I purchased at a thrift store 11 unopened packs of 1988 baseball topps cards I'm
a collector l want to know if they have any value , there's a card Mark Grace wearing number 53 and many others R Henderson 1st year w the Yankees Canseco Tony ,Gwynn Batting title card number 403. Wade Boggs
1987; Batting title and also all star card and many more
I just saw this video for the first time, but I have seen and heard that Gibson play a million times. It still gives me goosebumps to this day! Lol! What an awesome moment in baseball history!
Thank you!! I’ve been waiting for you to make one of these vids!
Heading home to check my cards, I collected heavy in the late 80's. I bought complete sets of most major brands and left them in the box
Great stuff. Everyone talks about the power of the pop report, which is important. But the power of nostalgia is just as important. Canseco, Gooden, Strawberry - not HOFers or rare but cards everyone who grew up in the 80s needs to have. Surprised Eric Davis 85 Topps did not make the list.
Agree 👍
1981 Fleer Valenzuela and 85 Gooden were the hottest things I ever remember from the 80s. Eric Davis was a flash in the pan.
@@jude999 yup and Rickey Henderson
@@jude999 Gooden,Boggs,Gwynn and the Canseco RR were always hor
That Gibson HR is the best moment of all time in my opinion.
This was when I was growing up and collecting cards as a kid. I still have most of them but may go hunting to get graded copies of them.
Brings back great memories of when collecting was fun! 👍🎙🥚
This type of video never gets old, Chris! Thank you for all the time and research you put into these and keep up the great work!
I watched the Gibson moment live on tv when I was a kid and it was the coolest thing I have seen.
I really like these videos and the ones where you go year by year listing the hall of famers (any sport)
Appreciate your time in putting this together. I have almost all of these cards in a collection I inherited. Starting to get into this collecting!
Welcome to the hobby!
Yea, you don't, The tiffanys are not roaming around to the commoners.
The tiffany cards are identical to the regular Topps, so you think you have them, but you don't, I have dozens of Topps Mattingly rookies, zero are Tiffany
I have a majority of those cards. Some are graded PSA 7, 8, and a lot of them in raw form with sleeve protectors. Nice video overall & thanks for sharing!!!
No idea why your video showed up in my feed but I am glad it did. Just recently started going through old boxes from the 80's that are full of cards.
Thanks man! That brought back so many memories! I was born in 1976 so these were my cards! Wish I still had them all!😢
What memories. '83--'86 was a tremendous run of quality sets and tons of rookies with HOF/speculator interest. Alas, some didn't pan out, but generated a ton interest at the time. Eric Davis comes to mind. Nobody remembers him, but back in the day, they were comparing him to Willie Mays.
I remember Eric Davis well. He was one of my brother's favorite players. I watched a retrospective of his career recently and I did not realize his career was hampered so heavily by injuries.
By far.....the quickest wrists ever for a batter
Yep, E. D. when healthy, in his prime was a baller
Eric Davis in '87, watching 'This Week in Baseball' talk of him chasing Maris's hr record while he was jumping over the fence to steal home runs from his friend Daryl Strawberry. He ended up with straight terrible luck with injuries, but what a talent.
His wrists were so quick they didn't want to change his mechanics but that hitch didn't end his career..those damn injuries! He still had a nice career though.
You should make a list that doesn't include Tiffany. It would be interesting to see and a lot more unpredictable.
I agree. For future videos, I would be interested in these lists without Topps Tiffany.
You should make a list that doesn't include pitchers. It would be interesting to see and a lot more unpredictable.
Or Score Glossy. 🙄
What is the difference between Topps / Bowman n Topps / Bowman Tiffany?
Agree 100%
Love this channel! Thx Chris.
The Canseco rated rookie was so popular that there was a full size poster sold. My friend had a a huge image of Jose's face staring at him over his bed. Weird to think about that positioning as an adult.
That is for the memories. Like approximately 108% of kids I collected heavily from 1986-1990. But this list brought a smile to my face as I remembered having many of these cards and was able to watch with my 12 year old daughter and show her the cards. I know I had the Jr. Bowman and remember trading it to a friend of mine. But I might still have one.
I also got the 1986 Topps Traded set for my birthday. Mostly I wanted the Wally Joyner card but was willing to take the Canseco, Bonds, Jackson, et al. if that had to be so.
I have a plaque with a Wally Joyner signed baseball and his rookie card attached.
Every card you just mentioned I have and more. Some still in the original package, also in binders and in hard case's. I also have a few boxes that have the gum in the packs from the 80's
you have no idea how much this has helped, watched this video as i was going through my dads old binder, turns out he has the rare darryl strawberry, and 3 of the rare roger clemmens, aswell as the future stars cal ripken rookie.
Learned a lot. Thanks for posting. Subbed
I have each and every single card in this video. My dad use to buy me complete factory sets. ⚾️👍🏻
Same. My father actually worked for the foil printing company that stamped the upper deck cards among others.
I have 86 and 87 topps complete sets so yeah I have a few of these
Thats awesome, but gotta say go Dodgers! Got that W against you guys tonight!
Make sure they are limited edition Tiffany cards
They were not sold in sets
They look just like the other cards but have a different code
Go Giants......
I have the Rickey Henderson card… I have had it since I was a kid.
Worthless, sorry.
@@chop3625 Yeah, videos like this make you think you got something incredible when you really don’t.
So,are you saying this guy is lying?
Umm pretty sad when there are women that are smarter than some of you men sports card collector,,,,I would say he is in the ball park with his prices,,,,you all just want this guys card for free,period,good day❗❗💙
The Kirk Gibson HR is unforgettable - as is the reaction of Tommy Lasorda. Enjoyable video.
First pack ever was 1988 Topps. Pulled the Mac all star rookie. The card that started it all for me!!!!
Wow, I have a binder full of cards from this era. I know I have at least 3-6 of these cards in great shape.
First pack I ever got as a kid was 87 Topps with the wood border. I was 7 years old and just started baseball, my parents would get me packs every week for many years into the 90’s. I remember my prized card was the Upper Deck rookies of Griffey JR, I had a bunch of them, wish I knew where they went, worth a good amount these days.
🤔Check the folks bedroom in the vacinity of the glass pipe and metal balls of sos pads And Steel wool dust bunny's ....for a Rolla dex and look for jonito or **" landlord"*** and call to see if they made it to the pawn shop yet and if not your in luck 😂😂🤣 kinda ask if they mind turning around mom said she will make it up to u 😉 jk that's the blueprint my old neighbors showed me to fo
find there cards 😉 silly me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope u hot a chuckle #salute
Damn.... I had to double take and check if I wrote this and forgot. Exactly how I started. But I was 6 in 87. The Wood egdes and stale gum. But I only had one Griffey.
Lmao u just described when and how I started collecting 🤣 I was 7 yrs old as well
@@rage508cardsngrails maybe I should check under your moms bed, I use to have to hide from your dad a lot.
Thank your for this video…Griffey and that swing basically sums up my childhood
The thing with Nolan Ryan is he’s an all time great and like all of those old time greats their cards don’t have to be rookies to be big collectables.
Enjoyed the video as I grew up with these cards in this era. May finally get me to look through my collection and maybe grade some. My fav is the Rickey Henderson when things were simple with only one to three cards vs today with so many variants. Things I learned was how the value of non rookie Nolan Ryan''s may be worth and need to dig in about Tiffany and what the differences are. Again good stuff!
i have 3 rickey hendersons (post cereal).
Never even heard of topps tiffany until this video and i collected for many years lol
Thank you brother for this info, I know absolutely nothing about card, but I have several boxes of them, Kool video.. keep up the good work, and may God bless you!!
I have all of Sandberg's and Boggs. Several of the others I have 1 each. Mostly Topps. Have been trading and buying this era the past year during the pandemic.
I think I have about 10,000 1992 Donruss cards in my basement. I think their cumulative value is about $100. That's where you have to pay them $100 to take them off your hands.
Same here. Was in on the card and comic boom of the late 80s and early 90s thinking I was gonna be rich in a few years. Yeah didnt go as planned.
Mike social thanks for the work..I had many of these
Chilly bumps off that Jack Buck call. Great content man - -thanks for the efforts :)
I definitely like tid bits! Appreciate it
I’ve been gobbling up star Tiffany cards for a few years now. Beautiful cards. Great share.
Wish I could find some Tiffany cards
@@danshuntingforcollectibles5681 I have the Topps Tiffany Randy Johnson card
Crazy how that Griffey one has changed since this video. Now the upper deck RC is the sought after one.
Thanks for all the awesome info!
I have sold all of these cards raw this year! I only have a couple serious collectors around me here where I live. Of course can't get any retail,but there is a store called second hand Sam's that a friend has a booth with just about any thing from the 50s to the present. He has a Satchel Topps that he is asking 200$ for. Looks good,just a little corner wear. Piece Chris!
Loved watching ... brings me back to being a kid in the late 80's for sure ... I agree that a list without Tiffany would be more relevant for almost everyone (i have 1 topps Tiffany... orel hershiser... dont remember how I got it but I was always told tiffanys are 10X the value of regular topps (?) )
Makes me think of my pop.........cried like a little girl watching this........thanks brah
Enjoy your videos. Subscribed after the first video I saw. Steve
Wow this video is a life saver! I recently bought a giant tote of mainly sports cards from the late 80s to early 90s and still feel very over whelmed but now I have more knowledge of what I am looking at! Love that Bill Ripken card,
"Which bat is yours Bill?"
"The one that says f**k face."
It actually was Pete Stanicek’s bat, if I remember correctly. Bill just grabbed a nearby bat for the card photo, and it turned out to be this one.
@@HippyRabbitFish Ha thats awesome!
My grandfather had a bunch of baseball cards, but got rid of them at some point. Oh to have seen what he had.
Thanks for the information
I've got several complete sets from this era and a bunch of loose ones I haven't touched them in years . Cool video thanks now I have to go dig them out.
As a Tigers fan Gibson's 84 homerun off Goose Gossage in game 5 when Goose refused to walk him is better than his '88 homer....but I could be bias..😊
As a Dodgers fan I was also going to bring up the ‘84 homer. 😆 Gibson was a beast
I agree
88 is game one !
Yes, my dad and I used to reminisce about that 84 gibson home run with great delight years afterward!
And then he joined the Dodgers
I think I may have some of the Randy Johnson Donruss cards in my garage. I remembered having a (just about) complete set of the '89 collection, but like a lot of people, felt overwhelmed when everyone and their aunt started producing cards.
I’m just shocked that Randy Johnson allowed somebody to take his picture
That was a great presentation.
I found this very Interesting It's been a while sense I've been threw my cards and I know I have a few of these thanks.
Can’t believe my boy Eric Davis didn’t make the list......
His '87 stats were nasty
When I started collecting, he was my first rookie I bought. Still have it. I think lol haven't looked at my cards in over a decade.
@@timelesslimit5786 which is it topps,
fleer or donruss
@@damoncallaway5450 '85 topps with the black border.. but I haven't looked in yrs
Eric the Red was the best all around baseball player I’ve ever watched. Hit for power, RBI machine,speed, excellent fielder and had an absolute cannon for an arm.
Great video, Chris. I know the Tiffany cards bring rarity, but the fact that they could not be pack pulled has always been a sticking point for me personally. It would be cool to see what shakes out when non pack pull-able cards are taken away. Great video none the less. Thanks for being such a key contributor to the hobby, and the YT hobby community!
Agree. Like to see this done without the Tiffany cards. Leave them out for the same reason the "oddball" cards were omitted.
Rarity is the key. There is no asterisk for what makes it rare.
Tiffany's were not for sale in 82-91 the years of production. They were given to certin people that Topps thought deserved them such as hobby shops, advertisers, employees, and dealers. 1984 only had 10,000 boxes produced from Ireland. Don't know why the show's even put a Tiffany card price up. 99,% of collectors don't even own 1. I know I don't after 55 years of collecting.
Yes I never ever heard of the Tiffany card. Everyone I know just bought packs
Born in 1970 had a decent collection made a ton when I sold them back in the early 90’s I had 12 of those Ricky Henderson cards…man that hurts…I traded one in 1982 with a few others for. 1971 Reggie Jackson card..
It’s like a flashback of my childhood! Wish I kept them!
I feel like Beckett kind of screwed me over as a kid... For a long time they didn't list the "traded" sets as RCs, but called them "XRC's" so me and my friends didn't think they were rookie cards. So of course I collected the ones from the regular Donruss and Topps sets that aren't worth much anymore!
It was pretty common knowledge even as a kid that the XRC was the rookie card before the rookie card and even more valuable
