Opening a RARE Box of 1984 Topps Baseball 🔥 GEM MINT Mattingly & Strawberry Rookies AND MORE!

Crazy you pulled an already-graded GEM MINT Mattingly and Strawberry out of 1984 Topps packs. Surprised they fit in the packs.

You took me back in time...those were such great cards...and lot of my favorite players...thank you for taking me back!!! Enjoyed the rip

That Mattingly rookie was one of my holy grails growing up!! Finally pulled one a couple years back! Love your content - keep it coming!

This video was awesome. Love the 80s cards. I'm a huge Mattingly fan. So, I bought a 1984 Topps pack at a flea market in 1991. My dad wanted to open it. He then started rattling off a bio and stats. I was like, that's Mattingly! He pulled one! I was excited but also upset I didn't pull it. Haha. Best memory of purchasing an older unopened pack. Luckily I still have it!

Want to see the 84 Donruss that's my favorite never got open a pack was rare to see it! Hopefully you'll get one to show us

I pulled that Don Mattingly back in 1989 when I was 9 years old, started me in a hobby I’m still into today. Great pulls, and Merry Christmas!

One of my favorite sets! I started in 1986, also one of my faves with the wooden border. I like that you pointed out in our day it was about sets. Of course individual players, favorites, but I have binders of sets because that was a focus. I just got back into "collecting" and boy, oh, boy, have times changed; I can't keep up!

owned a gas station from 1980 to 2005. I remember buying these boxes for 7 bucks each. They would also give us incentives for buying from Topps like free sealed sets or uncut sheets as well. Still have most of it.

2 of my favorites as a kid. Great rip!

great rip alot of good centered cards and didnt really notice any gum stains on them which is a big bonus congrats on the Mattingly and the Strawberry's Rc's

I have every set from 1975 to 1996 ( yes i could be talked into selling them) and my favorite is the 1984 layout. I love cards before the refractor and such was started. To me old cards is the real definition of collecting cards. Age of refractors, numbered cards, autos and patch cards are too commercially done. As for as sets, i have burger king, mcdonalds, toys r us and ames store complete sets as well. That was the meaning of collecting sets. No ebay in the 80s to buy them. You done sets the old fashioned way.

One of the BEST wax boxes of the 80’s. Average is about $500+ and worth it, especially if you just buy and hold it. There’s a few on Pristine Auction right now in auction. Great rip!

Fun rip, def reminds me of when I did it as a kid starting in 85. I would be curious to see what you get on them, as I have pretty much given up on sending in cards form 80's. I sent in a 84 Donruss & Fleer of Mattingly, that looked dead on and both got a 9.

I got to see the Pirates and Mets play at Three Rivers Stadium in 92. I loved Andy Van Slyke and that outfield was great! Bonds, Van Slyke and Bonilla, however Bonds could've been gone by then. Dwight Gooden was pitching that game. We have some camcorder footage of that game.

maybe Nolan Ryan was in the Topp Corner of the Sheet what i was thinking.??? i also got lucky enough to buy a bunch of topps sets from a collection ive been working on for years buying after a mans passing... he was actually my 4th grade teacher... so we use to keep cards in our trapper keepers 3ring... and talk Baseball Cards in Class... later in life i ran into him at my LCS... and got his #.... so i started going to his home and buying little by little a few hundred at a time... as he was liquidating his collection as he knew he had Cancer... and he eventually passed... and i continue to go up there and buy off his wife that is stihl alive.. and has most of the collection left.... minus my years of looking and 🍒 picking... Its Added Alot to my collection... and I treasure alot that i got from him from the 1979 Topps Set 1980 1981 1983 1984s i bought at the shop i saw him at actually.. a couple 1985 sets and i think i had like 10 Mcgwires USA at a time... a few 1986 topps Set and 1987... the 1988s when things really went sideways i think and that 1988 set is weak... but anyways Jordan Beam Teams and all kinds of Goodies.. Miss that man but i carry on his Legacy

PSA has the same standards but with the introduction of AI that can detect spider creases that even a loupe couldn’t even see is a much tougher grading. I have seen them 1-2 grades lower all year than previous. Now that they will introduce the date each card they have ever graded on their website, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the value of previously graded cards. A PSA 9 from two years ago may very well be a 7 or 8 today. Love this set! I was 11 years and have boxes of Topps 83-85!

It was Fun to watch You Down the "1984", Memory Lane, Congratulations! " Merry Christmas Geoff!"

I collect mainly non-sports but I put everything in a penny sleeve. I am a firm believer in protecting everything. 1984 Topps commons may not be worth a lot today, but in 50 years they will have substantial value.

I was 5 and this was the first pack of cards I ever opened. 1984 Topps, was trying to get a Nolan Ryan lol. My dad convinced me that if I took care of all the cards I pulled that someday when I was his age I’d be rich or close to it. I have a raw card collection from the 80’s and 90’s in Mint condition straight from the packs to a hard top loader if it was a player of any significance. I don’t think there is a rookie card from Topps that I don’t have during that era. I completely missed the 2020-2021 boom or whatever it was where prices went nuts during Covid lockdown. I never stopped working but either way it got me to pull all that stuff out of storage and find out most of my cards are worth little to nothing lol. Thanks dad!! All kidding aside I just need to go through them and find cards that will grade high to send them in to PSA. Seems like a daunting task though and expensive to send in so maybe I’ll try to get in on some bulk submissions with the sports card investor lol

Fun rip. Great nostalgia!
