- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2024
- Today we are opening an authenticated box of 1980 Topps from a sealed case to look for a Rickey Henderson Rookie Card they recently sold for over $25,000 that graded out to a PSA 10. Would we find it??

I was nine years old when this box came out. This was the very first year I started collecting. So many great memories of going down the the Ben Franklin in town and buying packs after school.
This may be the greatest video on TH-cam. Brings back so many memories. Summer of 1980 I was 15 years old. We had a neighborhood grocery store in my little town that sold baseball cards. You could buy an entire box for nine dollars and over the course of that summer I bought 4 boxes trying to complete the set. I had a large paper grocery bag full. Wish I still had them! You are now officially my favorite TH-camr.
Thank you very much!
1980 is the year I started collecting cards. For me, it was a blast buying cards from 80 to 83. To be a kid again....
I bought from 1974 to 1996 when it got too expensive when I got married and had a kid. It was a ton o fun to buy up stacks and stacks of baseball and hockey cards and open them, chew a huge wad of bubblegum, and try to put sets together. 🤪
Opening that box and seeing those wax packs as tight as when it was boxed in 1980 was a thing of beauty!! Awesome video!!
Love your videos! Old school like me! These are players that I grew up watching!
Jabs! At 5:17. You pulled my uncle!!! Alan Knicely!!
Wow your uncle is a baseball player it will be sweat to get his autograph
noiceee...
I know who Alan Knicely is. I’m from Harrisonburg.
WHOA! thats so cool!
You have a good name. Almost named my son Addison
This is quite possibly the best design Topps ever produced!
Great entertainment , I remember opening up lots of cello & wax bxs from 71 thru 82 back in the day !!!!!!
Just opened a 1979 Topps Wax Pack and have a 1980 Grocery Cello 3-Pack Rack pack. These boxes went from $75 to over 1K in a matter of a few years. Crazy what one or two chase cards can do. Thank you for sharing.
This will always be my favorite year. It was my first year of collecting and I was 9 years old. My grandfather had a small grocery store and would let me take home anything I wanted. Still have most of them, except that I’m sure that I lost some good ones due to kids being kids.
The 1979 and 1980 were two of the best looking years for Topps Baseball Cards .
Agreed. I also really like the 1974 cards.
This is the year me and my brother started collecting... Always a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the best Topps designs of all time.
Yes, but one of the lamest years for good cards.
This is how I collected cards as a kid. My grandfather would buy me two boxes like this in early summer and then spend the rest of the summer trading with my friends in an attempt to complete my set. :-)
The 1980 Topps Dale Murphy & Johnny Bench cards were the first two I ever purchased at my local card shop as a kid. Nice to see those cards in these packs (especially in much better condition than mine are now thirty years later).
Good to know that you have one
I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this box break. Thanks for the vid.
You have got me excited about baseball cards again! Grew up in the 80s collecting with my dad. Love your channel!
Remember when I was in elementary school and spend the quarter that my grandfather gave me for snack every day on 1980 topps cards😂😂😂
Did your grandfather ever find out that you were a liar?
HOW FUN!!!
25:57 YES!! It's shocking how many times Topps "swung and missed" with the 1980 Future Stars cards.
Jabs family is the best TH-camr ever😁
Bucky Majors is my favorite player back in the day
Brings back a lot of old memories. Great watching keep the videos coming.
Listen, at 67% chance to pull a Ricky you did the far more statistically hard thing by not getting him. Grats!!
these videos make me wish i had a time machine and $200 lol. i’d be coming back with a few of them boxes
Love your videos brings me way back, your monotone way and funny wise cracks are awesome. Keep it up brings me back to the 80's. Thanks!
One of the sets that I collected and was able to complete the entire set as a kid, the ol’ fashioned way: went to the local pharmacy and bought about 5-10 packs at a time. My neighbor and I would both collect, and we’d walk about a mile to the store, and wouldn’t open the packs til we got home. That walk home seemed to take forever, but still it was like walking on air the entire time. Ah, those days of summer back in SW Pa.. 🤗
fan4life34 yep! Home run derby all day long, playing as an individual team (I was Pirates, he was Phillies usually) imitating players batting stances and learning how to bat left handed for the players that did 😆
Amen brother.
Dude, I have a bunch of those Cards. That's the year I started collecting. Loved the smell of a newly opened pack.
I was 8 in 1980 when my journey in collecting began. First card I ever got was Johnny Bench. Like you said there were no plastic penny sleeves then so it got mangled pretty quickly. Anyway, I still have it; it’s mounted on my wall as to remind me of that day.
Thanks for the great break.
Now that's a comment from the heart.
I remember buying 1980 Topps 36-ct boxes at baseball Card Shows for $8 or two for $15.
I love it! Keep the vintage wax coming. 1980 is my favorite of the 80's sets and is actually a tough set for being in the 80's.
Nice to see a box that haven’t been searched!
I used to use my baseball & football cards on my bike to make motor sounds. I'm sure I wore out many a good circa 1960's & 70's rookie cards. I had to change them out often, because the crisp cards made the best sound! :)
Been there done that!
Love those 1980 cards!!!
Cool channel. I can’t believe you pulled a J Johnston’s card in the last pack. Brought me back to my childhood. Very cool
Looks so familiar. I use to get a quarter and walk down to the store for a pack of cards. Then I would take them and wrap a rubber band around them lol Still have many of those cards today.
I’m Australian and have no idea about baseball nor do I understand the game but really enjoyed your video, I love watching unboxing of cards, especially really old cards. Keep up the good work. “Get that gum on outta here” !
sweet break. I was 11 when it came out I got a Henderson out of a pack still have it today. not in good shape has a crease but one of the first big cards I remember pulling
Fun stuff! I like these older breaks!
O.J. Simpson, not a Jew!
But guess who is... Hall of Famer, Rod Carew, (he converted!)
Reeeeeeee
ya cant really convert to be a jew.
@@vincenjones4915 tell Adam Sandler bro
One good thing about the 1980 tops is for the most part their pretty well centerd.
I've always wanted this set and while I cant afford one this is the next best thing. I enjoyed this very much thank you
Back in 1980 I bought several hundred wax packs and traded duplicates with a friend. I then bought 4 vending boxes out of the Sporting News and I was still one card short of a complete set. Frank Riccelli. I had 12 Rickey Henderson rookie cards. Every one was off center 80-20 left to right.
Those cards look amazing.
Great video. I know this was authentic, but one reason I didn't buy boxes or packs much, it was so easy to go through and reseal. Not saying this happened here, but it happens more than people think.
McCovey is my favorite player. So under rated. I got two Rickey Henderson Rcs Psa 6s tho. O well Hes there all i care about.
This looks awesome! Nothing like digging up some cardboard treasure. These cards really do command such high value! Oh, boy, do my eyes light up when I see an un opened box!
Great break. My son and I are close to completing this set. I forgot how nice this set was. I had most of the set from when I was growing up. A lot a great players in the set.
Before the dh didnt jim mason bat after the pitcher for the yanks
Great cards. I worked at a grocery store in the 80s and got boxes and boxes of cards that would come with the candy to out out. Good times.
I worked in a grocery store in my teens and got hold of tons of 89 packs, I have now about 4 sets worth nowadays.
Hey thanks it was like watching grass grow, but then again it was fun. Think I had two or three Henderson cards when I was 11 but kept them in a paper bag and I had all the other cards in the same bag. Really only cared about the A's cards. My mom throw the bag in the trash about 1987. Man the good old days when life was lived like a kid.
This was as intense as a 1986 Fleer basketball break. Love these oldies!! Awesome channel too!
you have never heard of Bob Horner???? he was the second best third baseman that ever played for the Brave behind Joe Torre. he was a number one draft pick and one of only 4 people to hit 4 home runs in one game.
I remember Bob Horner and Dale Murphy just killing it for the Braves.
My favorite card of all-time is the 1980 Topps Brett. It's not worth a whole lot, but it conjures up images of my childhood like no other card. I was 10 years old in 1980 and Brett was seriously flirting with .400, it was crazy! I'll never forget seeing the 1980 Brett card at the exact same time that his .400 quest was all the rage and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world; I loved that card.
I'm from 1971 and remember that as well. Great anecdote, what memories!
15:24 Shame there was silence for Ben Oglivie. That dude was one of the most legit players ever!
love this ye
ar it was my first year collecting . I was able to complete the set from buying loose packs in 1980 .
The first card of the first pack I ever bought was the 1980 Topps Johnny Bench. I was eight in 1980 and didn’t know anything about baseball but I was hooked.
There's a knock on your front door.....
You open it, John wathan standing there. " I hear your talking trash."
Lol I grew up near kc. I remember watching him play.
I can smell the gum as you are opening the first pack. I can picture myself in my old house sliding through the cards one by one.
Before I watch... There are so many great cards that year as a kid in the 90s I loved looking them up on the Beckett
I really loved watching "The Bird" walk around the mound talking to the baseball.
1980 was the first year that I collected as a kid so this video was very cool to watch! I still have my 80's...though let's say they are very far from mint! :)
Another fun box break to watch! The Brett and Ryan pulls are in phenomenal condition. This 1980 set is a year before I started collecting. I remember a couple years later my cousin had purchased a Rickey Henderson rookie and I was in awe. I recall he bought it at a card shop. He would ask me years later after he apparently sold it how much it was booking. It's been a card that's eluded me since collecting.
I still got like 10 Younts_Brett I think even molliter
My second view really enjoying this I have a few of those Rickey Henderson’s now I have to find out what they’re worth you’ve got me all excited about my cards I thought cards were dead, like my father said when I get older I’ll be able to buy a house with all the cards I have
Best TBT yet! Thank you!!
1980 Topps are really beautiful coming out of the pack. Their collation was pretty bad though. reminds me of going through 1980s Topps packs and remembering that Willie Hernandez after Butch Wynegar followed by Tommy Herr EVERY TIME!!!! :)
Tops is always been a bad coalition usually have to open six or seven boxes before you even get close to a complete set
Wayne Nordhagen and Jim Morrison of the White Sox are two of my all time favorites. Cool cards and video.
I remember buying these as amid. 9 years old. My first set I ever collected.
Saweeet ! My brother collected this set when we were kids. He has it still, the Henderson is in great shape, just not centered great. Prob a 8 graded.
WOW $2500 for a box, crazy. Im old lol
How do I buy into a break like this ?
Ill eat a piece of that gum ! ;-) Mail me a stick lol
32:32 i never knew that was how the "Mendoza line" came about! Learn something new every day!
This box was such a tease for the RH card. I saw literally every other A's player including 4 in one pack. Also, if Linda doesn't get a hit I know the break is not going to produce the unicorn.
Nice break, love the vintage stuff, thanks for the video Jabs 😎🇺🇸
Erik thanks for.doing this. Awesome break. I hate when you don't get the big card but still cool cards.
I love this video I love Rickey Henderson
Cool! Gotta love 1980 topps!
I'm still waiting for my 84-year old mother to admit she tossed my entire collection when I was in college in 1979!
Feel your pain my mom threw out my Sears star wars cantina set in box. Only sold in sears limited time in 1977. Going for over 20 grand now
I also share this pain with you guys. I had a lot of graded PSA 9 cards and raw cards all thrown out...not to mention all the comics I had...thrown out as well
Happen to me when I got abused by my step father back in 87. I got kicked by his steel toe boots. School called the authorities. When I moved to my dads place. He chucked my cards from late 70s to 86 plus my Transformers. He died 4 years later.
You guys want to know pain. I had all the main WWF Wrestlers, GI Joe's, Legos collections, etc... All sold in a yard sale. 😢
At least the Henderson rookie wasn't in your collection 😁
Just checked, the 1975 unopened wax box is 19,500, that's all.basically the cost of a base model new car... priced at the BBCE...1974 is 11,000. There are no existing 73 and older boxes. And the 74 and 75's are running out! There's alot of sports card collectors that are millionaires and are ready, able and willing to rip them open, I'd estimate you have 1 maybe 2 yrs Topps to rip open a box. Me personally, the 75 is the most famous and I'd pull all the strings to make that one happen! Soon to be in the pages of history.......awesome break!!!
Some nice cards, sad no Henderson, love the videos Erik
Nice box break! Disappointing not finding a Rickey Henderson RC card. But 2 Ryan's and other HoFers were sweet. Thanks for sharing!
This was my first year collecting…my friends and I lived in MA so we were trying to collect the entire 1980 Red Sox…for some reason the Fisk card was really hard to get!
You had me biting my nails waiting for a Ricky!
Back in the early 80's my friend and I would go to a lot of Twins games. They were really bad and you could pay bleacher outfield price then go sit anywhere you wanted {crowds of 2,000} sometimes. The reason for my story is Bombo Riveria. He was a joker, I have pictures of him chewing gum and blowing a huge bubble, sticking his tongue out at us and would sign anything you had. He knew he was lucky to be playing MLB. Great memories. P.S. Tickets in 1980 for general admission to Metropolitan stadium $2.25.
A lot of the old manager/ team photo cards have value because the checklists on the back were often marked up.
This was the product that started me in baseball cards. A local candy/snack shop in a mall with an Edwards Cinema, back in 1980. So I know the packs are 25c since I would ask my mom for a quarter to buy a pack of cards. I chewed every stick of gum.
This might be my favorite card design of all time. They are so clean
my favorite break youve done so far!😁
Used to flip cards in the 70's at school... Would bring 50-100 cards and sometime lose them all :)) ..close pin and a spoke on my bike was great too !!
Grew up in the ‘60s and used the cards in the spokes of my bike too. I wonder how many priceless Hall of Farmers I shredded that way?
That dang gum looks soo good.... I hope you didn't throw that away!
Just passed Dave kingman without a word to say!
i love hearing the excitement in your voice!👍😁
I had the Henderson, and I was the one that bought it back in 1980. Took me literally 3 yrs to sell it on ebay. Missed the boat on when it was worth more. Ive got 89 Beanies Babies in my closet, anyone lookin......
78-80 Topps are my favorite
What's a 1980 Topps piece of gum PSA 10 going for?
I would chew it.
Twice the price of a Ricky H. card.
@@steeloned 😂
There's a you tuber who does podcasts with various stars , he had Pete Rose on once and Pete ate some of the old gum!
@@larrydj7571
You can bet he did.
The very first baseball cards I ever bought was 1980 Topps. Got lots of Joey McLaughlins, but never pulled a Rickey.
never heard of bob horner ? boy do I feel old...
He should know of "Captain Fragile", one of a handfull of sluggers to homer 4 times in a game.
I remember Bob Horner pitching with the Saint Louis Cardinals in the late 70's. I was a Cards can back in those days.
Man sorry to see no one got the Henderson card. I was lucky enough to pull my Ricky Henderson from a pack back in 1980 along with Nolan Ryan so I guess I paid .25 cents for mine. Of course back in 1980 it was not a big deal. I doubt mine is a PSA ten but its nice enough. I was already a teenage in 1980 so thankfully I took pretty good care of the cards I bought. I kept them in plastic index card boxes because that is what was around back then and they fit pretty good.
Awesome video Jabs!!
I love The1980 tops sett!
Best gum ever. They used to smell like baseball cards. lol.
