Can you suggest me some good value boxes to open?
Price 50-500 and under per box, cards inside mostly decent? (Unlike optic/prizm?)
Most ripped packs for me was 89 Topps baseball when I was a kid. Then when I got back into the hobby in 2001 the Topps baseball.
What type of safe do you use to carry cards on the show floor so I can get it please?
very cool mate , rice is my fav old school player
Hey sir, someone is messaging me on here pretending they're you!!😠
My younger brother turned 11 in 1986 and I was 16. We were both into collecting cards, and I remember that all my brother wanted for his birthday that year was the 1986 Topps football set. So my mom took him down to Sears and bought him a factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to have any of them graded, but many remain in great condition. I guess he had some foresight at age 11.
That’s a great memory!
Grade that young with the gum, ahahah
If you send it in.......prolly a 7 or 8 tbh. I bought a sealed set and it came back 8😣. Broke my heart
Gm10
My brother was 1 year old in ‘86 and I was 3. We were at the time huge into cards. I remember all my brother wanted for his birthday was a Tonka truck but my father insisted he get the ‘86 Topps football factory set. He still has the entire set with all those great rookies. He never opted to get any of them graded (alcoholism) but remain in great condition (doesn’t read well). I gues he had some foresight as an infant
21:24 for the jerry rice. Nicest jerry rice I’ve ever seen pulled! Happy for you. I know some of the breaks didn’t pan out but nothing ventured, nothing gained
I’m a new viewer and “new” to collecting sports cards. In fact I haven’t bought any yet since the early 90’s. 😂 I love your videos and I’m watching all of your beginners guides and doing research before even beginning, but I was huge into collecting basketball and baseball during the “junk era” early 90’s.
1991 Fleer basketball cards make up probably 80% of my collection unfortunately but I’m excited to dig out my old cards from my parents house when I visit in May.
Very exciting to see you pull that Rice! Thanks so much for all your helpful informative videos. I’m really looking forward to getting back into the hobby. 😀
I can only imagine the horror of a piece of gum stuck to the Jerry Rice card
Was going to post this. 😢
I was getting excited watching you open these packs looking for the holy grail. Hope your Jerry Rice turns out to be grade 10!!
It will be. Psa will make sure of it and he knows it
Enjoyed the video. When I was in second grade I was buying 1968 Topps. That was the year I started collecting. 5 cents a pack. Still one of my favorite years. I started collecting again in 1986 consistently thru today. I recently went thru about 80,000 cards and pulled 1000 plus rookies and 2000 H of F type players. Like you I focused on baseball and would buy football occasionally.
Great way to kickoff Super Bowl Sunday. Love the 86’s!
I did, tons of boxes. 1980 to 1988 boxes as a young boy up in Fresno, California! They were so cheap to buy!
Interested in seeing how you did on the Rice as far as grading....hopefully there is a follow up video. Good Luck man!
Unfortunately, the product I opened as a kid was either 1990 Score or 1994 Collector's Choice (football), lol.
The product I had the most FUN opening as a kid was 1995 Sky Box Premium. LOVE the Mirror Images cards and base cards in that set. Also really enjoyed the Pay Dirt insert and I actually bought the complete insert set awhile back for cheap. For collectors looking for higher dollar cards, there are some rare parallels of that Pay Dirt insert set.
anyone else getting stressed when he wasn't putting down the cards in his left hand to separate the sticky cards? lol great set! Thanks for sharing!
People handle cards like savages lol idk why
Still worse. I rewound his opening of that pack, and his almost tired, cavalier handling of that back as he looked up while talking, and then ---- GASP ---- separating the pack of raw cards into two sets, letting the sides of the cards rub up and down against each other, before flipping through them fast. The upper left edge of the Rice card had a bit of "white" on it, if you notice. Could it have been from roughly opening up the pack or 'a glancing blow' to the corner as he was handking the cards?? ---- All I know is that I would be SO VERY CAREFULLY handling each pack, as if that pack held a perfectly centered Rice. (Maybe divide this video into two or three parts). But again, after spending a couple thousand on a box, where you'd know you'd get a Rice, I'd be so much more gentle. And that's just me. Still, it was a fun video to watch!
I was born in ‘86 and my dad bought me this complete set when I was born. It was the set that got me into collecting football cards and I have been ever since. Still have it btw
That Rice was a piece of art. Loved the facial expressions during the gum chew! It was fun
Super fun to see this. I ripped a lot of ‘87-‘91 junk wax stuff. My favorite was ‘89 Upper Deck when I could afford it. I never pulled a Griffey but 2 different friends pulled a Griffey on 2 different occasions we went to the local card shop. I was excited but so disappointed lol. The ‘85 Bears won the Super Bowl XX played in January 26, 1986. Congrats on the Rice. Gotta send it in and do a follow up.
Same here, dude. I had to spend my entire allowance just to buy 1 pack of UD cards every month. I watched several people pull Griffey Jr. right after I bought a dud pack. Had to wait until I was an adult to make up for it. I was able to buy several complete sets. I have no kids, so some guy will probably find my collection hidden in my abandoned house decades after Im gone. Im betting he wont get too excited about the dozens of Jimmy Garoppolo cards I stocked up on when my Niners traded for him. 😅
When I was 14 years old I did buy some packs from 7-eleven store but now most of the cards in the album is mostly are damage condition. I got steve young, bruce smith, reggie white, wilber marshall, eric dickerson, roger craig, walter payton, lawrence taylor, john elway and dan marino
Fun video to watch - I'm from Chicago so cool to see the cards that were out in that SB year! Will you post a reveal on what grade you got from PSA on the Rice RC?
1985 Topps baseball, hunting down Mark McGwire USA Baseball rookies. My favorite player growing up and still is. Been collecting Big Mac since the early 90s.
Love these older box rips. Fun to see and teaches people about these cards. By the way nice to meet you at Burbank Card show.
I opened up a lot of 1984 Topps football and 1988 as well. I also bought a brand new box of 1988 Fleer Basketball for $11 in 1989 as a clearance item in my card shop.
Can’t go wrong with that!
Wow, I was 12 years old in 1986. Seeing these cards again really takes me back. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, and every allowance day, I would go to the local pharmacy with 2 or 3 friends. We would pick out our packs and sit down at the counter, order a chocolate milk shake, and open our packs. Great content.
My prediction for tonight's Super Bowl is Eagles 34, Chiefs 31
Ironic. Me too. Merrill, WI.
Marshfield WI for me
All about the great memories! Yeah I was born in 77. I ripped alot as a kid. 1982- 1992 were my prime years. I was lucky enough to have a great single father and it was something we did together. We had like a draft and picked the guys we would collect. Like 25-40 each and if we pulled your guy you got to keep it. Kept them in 9 pocket sleeves in a binder back then. Not having the junk wax baseball anymore doesn't bother me but man the 86 and 87 fleer basketball cards I miss haha. I mean multiples of all the stars and rookies
Beautiful Rice you pulled. Haven't read all the comments so maybe someone asked already. PSA For a 9 or SGC or CSG for 9.5 or Beckett with subs getting a 9 with maybe some higher sub grades? The centering on that looked awesome. Follow up video on grading and the thought process on all the cards you plan to submit would be very informative. And yes I'm writing this before the end of the video so maybe you explained this at the end.
We opened a few boxes when 86 Topps was new on the market. My kids were 12, 9 & 3 and it was fun !! We even put a box or two aside. Well, of course, they were all opened eventually and we put the whole set together in a 3 ring binder. Is there anyone I could email a photo of a couple cards I think would grade well ? It sure is fun to pretend and imagine the best. Reality is another thing that brings one down to Earth rather quickly. Great video Geoff !
I ripped a lot of 88,89,90 Topps, Fleer, and Donruss baseball. Also ripped a lot of 89 Upper Deck because 11 year old me was chasing that Griffey Jr and like yourself never ripped that one. Eventually caved at a card show for it. The 80’s & 90’s were a simpler time collecting.
Yeah those were my years too!
This brings back memories! My best friend back then was a 49'ers fan, and didn't get a Rice RC. I gave him one because I had doubles of it. To be young and innocent again...
Great show and truly enjoyed. The last minute was too funny; I'm bustin. Hope you are well God Bless
Opened a ton of 1987 Topps baseball. Still love it. Wish I had opened up more 1986 Topps football or Fleer basketball, though.
1984 Topps football was the year I opened up most!
That was a great year too. Elway and Marino!
@Sports Card Investor yes sir. It was my first year at Fresno State. I worked side jobs, saved up money, and bought from the local Safeway grocery stores! The manager's at first would look at me funny, probably thinking, "Why does this kid buy a box per week?" Ahhh, the memories!
I used to go into TG&Y when I was 12 and buy packs of this. I pulled the Rice, Young, and the B. Smith card. Kept them wrapped in rubber band so just imagine how the edges looked.
My biggest pack rips were 1974 and 1975 with probably my most cards being 1975 Topps Baseball Mini's. Yes, I'm a little older 😀. Those were tough days for really nice cards but I have a few. My best outcomes were from the 1975-76 Topps Basketball cards. Some off-center issues but I kept them all pretty secure and corners are still pretty sharp. Purchased a 1983 box of Topps Baseball a couple years ago and am still opening one now and then for the fun of it (but still hoping for a Gwynn, Boggs, or Sandberg rookie).
Just found your channel, loving it so far! Speaking of going through a lot of pain in the 80's, while I understand it was tough for you as an Elway fan, I am a huge Marino fan, so I feel your pain X2. At least you finally got to see Elway win a couple of Super Bowls!
Nice Jerry Rice card! I predict the Chiefs win 38-34.
1 point off lol
Was this fr? Or did you wait till the end of the game to make a more accurate prediction?
@Sebastian Pacheco No this was actually my prediction.
I loved the 1986 Tops Football because it has a great design and like Jeff it was one of my favorite to open up a lot of packs!
Wow Jeff, great find I have been look for a Jerry Rice myself. God bless you, so happy for you.. 🤙🏻
Slightly older than you guys, as a kid in the 70's, I opened alot of Topps cards 1972-74. Collected til I graduated in 79. Moved to Japan and when I came back in 82 my mom got rid of them all. Started in again when I had a daughter in 1989. Ripped alot of Topps and Donruss 1990. Alot of Err cards in that Donruss set.. Great memories.
Yes send that Jerry Rice card out and see if it's a 10 if not then it's a solid 9. WOW Congrats on that pull Geoff! :)
Thanks!
Takes me way back, though we opened boxes and boxes of earlier cards, mostly 1981 Topps football (Montanas are all beat up) and baseball...
Grew up in Gainesville a few blocks from The Swamp. Would listen to the stadium announcer and recreate the plays of Tony Green, Scott Hutchinson and Scot Brantley in the yard with my brothers... shocked you passed by the Wes Chandler cards without a Gator reference. I caught a few passes from Chandler at a Gator Growl. Thanks for the memories...
1975 Topps Baseball was the cornerstone of my collection...Robin Yount and George Brett rookie year
Amazing and major congrats. Love this channel. Oh I saw a few you passed up also like Warren Moon, Dan Fouts QBs.
1990 Donruss Baseball. It was all about the Bo Jackson cards that got us excited. In fact, this was my first box of cards ever given to me. It was my first pack of cards ever opened for me as a kid. I believe it was an Easter basket present from my parents.
I spent a kid's fortune on Score cards trying to get that Bo Jackson landscape with him in football bads holding the bat over his shoulders. Never got it.
I was unfortunately a junk wax era kid so 1988-1992 is what I ripped the most. I did mostly Topps and some Donruss and Upper Deck. Just got back into the hobby with football and loving it since I get to do it with my 13 year old boy.
Same brother. I'm having a blast getting into cards again with my 7 year old.
When I was a kid, 85-86 were the years I started collecting, I was way into baseball more, but actually owned about 5 Jerry Rice rookie cards. I traded one of them later for a Nintendo Game Boy :). 87 Topps baseball was the set I opened the most and I never pulled a Griffey Jr. either.
Griffey jr was 1989 upper deck
I was born in 1974 and I collected football cards as a kid. 1986 was right in my sweet spot. I have tons of '86 cards. I ripped more '86 packs than any other year. I had a cork board in my bed room. My favorite players got pinned up on my cork board 😥 LT, the Fridge, Walter Payton and many others have a nice little pin hole right at the top of the card. I still have the cards in an old Trapper Keeper.
Love seeing old football packs ripped like this by the way! I’ve seen you rip the 1984 before. 1981, 1982 and 1985 would be cool to see as well if you can get your hands on those!
Love your videos. Got my son into collecting cards thanks to you.
I was 10 in 1984. I remember having a ton of the 84 Topps Baseball. Living in the Detroit area, those WS Champs Tiger cards were the chase.
Man, I've been breaking packs/boxes since the mid-80's and I can honestly say - I have no idea what product I ripped the most of.. I'm mostly a hockey card collector (these days) however when I was a kid I ripped a ton of baseball. I mean when I was 12-13 I actually acquired a couple dozen (at least) wax, cello, rack and vending cases of late 80's early 90's junk wax - so I broke a ton of that... I got back into the hobby in 2016 after a 20 year hiatus and broke a ton of hockey - especially early 90's junk wax for fun and nostalgia... So yea, I couldn't tell you what I broke the most of, but if I had to guess it would be a junk wax product, lol...
Yes, of course being from Chicago I remember watching Super Bowl XX - I was 6, but I remember it as clear as day, lol..
It's 12:30pm CST so I'm not cheating, lol.
Chiefs 28
Eagles 20
1989 Score football packs were my weakness. I pulled over 20 Barry Sanders RCs and that set was stacked!
Had to rewatch this again. What did you get on the Rice for PSA grading?
Love the content watch while I work at nite time 👌
Bought this set back in the early 90s during my childhood collecting days. Younger me knew what I was doing. My Rice came back an 8 and Young a 7. Hope you get lucky on that Rice!
If your name was Geoff Wilson on your psa return you’d be hittin that 10-10
1975 Topps baseball . Always have loved the 2 color design.
Idk why but I got super happy for you when you pulled that Jerry Rice rookie
The 1986 Bears were the reason I am a Bears fan. It was the first year I really got into football. When I started collecting the packs I ripped the most of were 1990 Upperdeck Baseball.
Do you mean the '85 Bears? Who went 15-1..There only loss was to Miami..on Monday night.
Thank you for your content!!
The cards I opened the most of would be the first year of stadium Club..Good old 1991 Stadium Club Baseball...Great times and memories back then..
93/94 Fleer Ultra Basketball. Loved putting together the insert sets and chasing the Jordan scoring kings card.
Ultra was SO fresh when it dropped! Those first couple years were rad across all sports.
I pulled a Rice rookie out of a couple rack packs . super excited that it is mint and centered.
It’s not my most ripped set, but the 1991 Upper Deck baseball is my favorite set. I have a lot of memories about it and really liked the design. Obviously I was always hoping to get that Michael Jordan short print so I could retire (lol), but always hoped I’d get the Nolan Ryan auto. I bought two boxes off eBay last year and pulled one of each! There’s not enough value to retire with those cards, but there is a lot of sentimental value.
86 topps football was my favorite set to open wax and put together sets with. The best set ever!!
Great box! Can't wait to see what the Rice grades. I was also a big Broncos fan back in the day. Had the "3 amigos" poster on my bedroom wall.
psa 5
The gum crunch was amazing ASMR. 😂😂
2007 sp legendary cuts baseball. that was around the time I just gotten into collecting and I adored the blend of history and baseball.
Excited for the update video on the grades
You have as good a chance as you can ask for, congrats, and best of luck!
Haha.. remember the Super Bowl Shuffle.. those were the days. I was living in Auburn Alabama and my dad owned a restaurant and Bo Jackson would come in all of the time.
@@Sports_Card_Investor- scammer! Be gone!
That was fun to watch! Congrats on the J. Rice. I’ve got the Eagles 34 KC 24
WOW amazing pull on that Jerry Rice rookie!! congrats
Awesome stuff bro!
Just curious in your opening what brand is the black storage case. I like how cards go in deep with nice padding on top
I was ripping garbage pail kids open in 1986. That was a big deal back then. Lol. I started collecting sports cards in like 1990 at the age of 13. I remember going to the store in the 80s and seeing baseball cards but never thought to collect them. I would probably be rich had I been investing in 1986 fleer basketball or 86 topps football as there was a lot of high dollar cards in those years. Anyway great rip on those 86 topps football. I always get a thrill ripping open old packs from my childhood. Just takes me back. Great video 💯
I have a Rice RC purchased mint in 1992.. haven't had it out of the collection box in probably 25 years.. makes me wonder, even a 9 at that pop bringing nice return!
I was also a big Elway and Broncos fan back in the day. My brother was a Brett Favre and Packers fan so there was a rivalry there but it was great when the Broncos knocked off the Packers in the 1998 Super Bowl.
Nice Jerry Rice RC, I've pulled an 8 but that one looks very nice..
Gool luck on the 9..
Born in 78', the 85 & 86 Topps football were the first football cards I ever had. Geoff love watching you rip this, however you missed one of my personal favorites HOF Dan Fouts at 10:26 and 30:17. Nevertheless congrats on all the big RC pulls.
I loved the 1986 cards use to open them all the time as a kid also enjoyed 1990 fleer football cards. But my favorite quickly became the 1989 upperdeck baseball after inpulled a griffey and every card vendor was trying to buy or trade me out of it lol.
My 1st yr of collecting football cards was 87' I was a huge Niners fan growing up in NH and my family came from NJ and were huge NYG fans.
I split a cello box with a friend about 20 years ago and it was $350. Nothing graded higher than 7.5 :) Back then I would buy at least one cello or rack pack every week of 86 or 84. Those were the days. They 86 ran $10-$30. love love love the set but it is very hard to grade.
I got into the hobby as a kid around 1987 and opened up a TON of 1987 Topps baseball. I probably completed 3 or 4 sets.
1989 Donruss- 2 Rack Pack Cases, a few boxes, and many packs from the party store near my house!
Great box condition wise. What a great RC class.
Thanks for the memories!!
Anytime opening up older wax from the 80s or 70s, can't expect the cards to be graded at a 10, most likely the ones that look good to you will be 9s & 8s. You have to watch for centering, print defects, staining, and sometimes gum powder gets embedded into the sides of the card.
1987 Donruss was what I opened the most. Ton of good RC's
Thanks for sharing this fort and having fun with it in graduation on your on your own Jerry Rice
My brother and I opened tons of 1987 Topps baseball. The first cards I remember opening were 1982 Topps baseball.
I remember being at my best friends house for his older brothers birthday party. We all collected cards , his dad got him an entire box of Upper Deck. He hit at least 6 Griffey rookies in that one box. I was so jealous. Back then they were going for $60 a piece. And if i remember correctly that was raw prices.
I think the most packs I ripped were 1985 Topps. I was 12 years old which was the perfect age to collect. After every baseball game, my parents would take me to 7-11 and they would give me $$$ to buy a few packs. I had multiple McGwire Olympic Rookie cards back in the day as I almost completed the 85 set twice.
Same!
Congratulations and getting that Jery Rice card… I hope you get a 10 when you grade it..👏👍🇺🇸 from Louis 🙂
AWSOME pull , love the channel
1986 was when I started working so much of my money went to this set.. my cards have been in storage for 25 years & now going thru them to get graded.. 6 Jerry Rice rookies !!
How'd they grade. Just opened a box of 92-93 (Shaq Rc) year. Found 2 but probably 9 or 8's. But I did get a Michael Jordan Beam Team chase card. 10's going for 6-8k. In a 10 of course. Looks great but has a dimple on the front bottom edge. Quality Control... Love ripping old boxes.
@William Potts I haven't sent those out yet.. I'm new to the grading process and what to understand how to do it before sending the big ones..
I found a Troy Aikman Topps super rookie card in a collection i bought from a guy. It was in absolute perfect condition, till you flipped it over and saw the nice gum stain 🤦🏼♂️ gotta love it
My best pack hit would have been UD Ken Griffey JR, two 89 Score Barry Sanders and one Troy Aikman rookies.
I went to a card shop back when Brady Quinn, Jamarcus Russell and I forget who the third QB was, but they opened up a new box of Sage Hit. I bought three packs and managed to pull out all three top QBs of that rookie year.
Opened a lot of 1989 Upper Deck.. still have my KGJ RC ungraded!
new to the grading part. how much will you value the rice rookie (pay PSA) to grade it? I wonder if you send them more $$$ up front. Will you get a better grade?
1990 91 and 92 basketball and football. Ripped so many cases man. I still have the boxes and all the cards.
Card shops had a way of pulling the griffey rookies. I also bought enough boxes and never got one.
My mom owned a small grocery store back in the day and I remember she had multiple boxes of these 1986 Topps football cards sitting on the counter. The things didn’t sell, so she gave them to me. I had at least 10 of those Rice rookies in my card album. I still remember the day I gave all those football cards away for a few 1950’s baseball cards. Yeah, not my best trade ever.
1991 Upper Deck Baseball was my most opened, Nolan Ryan autograph hunting as a kid
Getting a psa 10 is the hunt here, pretty much guaranteed to get at least one, opened several boxes of these back in the day and always got a full set
