1983 FLEER BASEBALL CARD BOX OPENING! GWYNN, SANDBERG, BOGGS RC HUNT! (Throwback Thursday) 

Can we just all admit that THIS was the golden era of team logos? Every team had an awesome logo back then

Best part of ripping the cards from the early, mid 80s.. It brings us right back to when we were kids ! just need some Duran Duran playing while opening this up. Men at Work!!

@14:49 that third player with the blue and white strip you are looking for is Frank White, Kansas City Royal great.

Listening to yr home-team's games on a.m. radio in the 50s-80s has to be one of the best, most pure American experiences ever! Fun break.

Wade Boggs looked like the oldest 24 year old.

Wasnt "Eddy Harris" from the movie "Major League" based on Gaylord Perry? Thanks again Jabs! 🙏

Love the "2 Photos on Every Card!" from the front of the box lol

Loved watching this video! The ‘83 Fleer George Brett was my first PC card. Thank you for the memories!!

Thanks for doing this Throwback Thursday break Jabs. Love the 83 Fleer set and the grey color. One of my favorite sets from the 80's. Really enjoyed the past thirty minutes and going down memory lane. Set was released when I was 10 and my parents did buy me some packs.

My monthly junk wax subscription box came in recently with a single ‘83 Fleer pack. I pulled Tony Gwynn! Hard to imagine paying over $300 for that entire box and not getting one TG. Nice box though with some nice pulls.

Ron "babyface" Kittle. ROY. Dropped bombs

Great video. Excellent commentary

Nice how Fleer finally figured out how to take decent pics!

Awesome box!!! 83s

First packs I remember opening as a kid were 85 Topps

These are a special set of cards for me. These & 83 Topps were the 1st cards I ever bought. My favorite card ever is the "Smith Bros" card which I still have even though it's in bad condition from keeping it in a show box

Champ summers was a Vietnam vet and was kind of high strung. He was a platoon player with the Reds in the late 70’s

I remember buying 84 Fleer Rack Packs at the corner store.. 10 years old..

Love the vod

I broke a 1992 jumbo box of Bowman for $440 and did not pull a Piazza or Rivera. I was very frustrated to say the least.

I have the set. Got screwed because a beer can I traded is worth 700

Hey jabs, i stopped by his store and bought the other fleer box. It had the gwynn and its in perfect condition. May be a 10. I cant find a defect and its centered. Just to let you know, that box didnt have any sandbergs or boggs. Had mostly everything else though. Thanks again for the video

Very few doubles.

Me as well. My friend 1989 was my introduction to sports cards which lasted about 4 or 5 years but back then the market was mass produced. It destroyed the hobby. I got back into it 3 months ago. I couldn't believe how hot the market is. It shocked me

I first bought donruss packs in 86 didn't take care of them, then in 88 I started buying again and got my Dad interested in the hobby again and we collected this set, my card shop was selling packs of these for $3 a pack. Love this set

Jerry Koosman is noteworthy (if you want to call it that) for winning 20 games in 1976 (21-10) and losing 20 games (8-20) in 1977. I don't believe he's the only MLB pitcher ever to win and lose 20 games during his career, but he's probably the only one to have those totals in back-to-back seasons.

I was an equipment guy for 8 years in a top tier league. Hate kids and or family in the locker room!!

Dave Dravecky still had two arms in 1983.

Cards were kept well. I don't know if I ever saw a double. Great corolation!

1983 Baseball Cards, I got out of the hobby in 83. I Graduated from High School; 813 Seniors graduated and it was held in the Reunion Arena in Dallas Texas Texas

Great video thanks for sharing it keep up the great job for hobby

Rough luck but still a great video!

Burt Wooten and John Wockenfuss B2B.. send that off to PSA

I was always a fan of the Kelloggs cards from the early to mid 1970's because they had the small picture on the back of the card. So when these came out, I thought this set was great.

Look at how utterly old these dudes look like Gaylord Perry, Don Sutton and even Tom Seaver - it just blows my mind - because I'm older than they are in those pics - and I cant sit down and go out and have a beer without being ID'd by some kid that is young enough to be my kid, lol.... Look, I'm no angel - I've done my fair share but these dudes look like they're 20-30 years older than they are.... I mean Gaylord Perry is like 40 - he's three years younger than I am and he could be confused for an elderly "ball boy" pretending like he's NOT filing down baseballs in the dugout, lol... It just blows my mind how old these guys look that played in the 60's and 70's - regardless of the sport... I'm mostly a hockey guy but even hockey has their guys, like Alex Delvecchio, Jim MacKenzie etc.. They look like they're in their 60's when they're in their late 30's or very early 40's... I mean WTF was in the water back in the day?? are we evolving or something?? lol... Sorry I was just looking at that Gaylord Perry card the other day and I'm 43 - yet if I told someone this is a picture of my grandpa yesterday - people would believe it despite the fact he was 41 in that card.... I just find it interesting how old these guys look.

Thanks for the fun rip Jabs! Always appreciated sir! 🙏

Love that tom Seaver card

Total win

Spending the night in Johnstown, hitting this place up tomorrow before I head back to North Carolina

Ranger Ade and " Hated that guy for no reason" 😂😂

Awesome as always

Hi Erik, great video. Like everyone said, it's a trip down memory lane. You pulled some awesome cards in this video. Thank you.

What an awesome set. Loved these when I was a kid and still do

Love the vid Jabs!

When I think of Jerry Koosman, I think of his time with the Twins

Nolan Ryan had his hands behind his head because he was under arrest for going over the speed limit!

Ok, give Gaylord Perry a break - the stress of nailfiling baseballs really took it's toll on the guy.... Imagine the stress - it would turn anyones hair grey and make them look like you remember your grandpa looked....

Charlie Hough looks a sprightly 43 in that photo

Wonder what the origin of the name "Mookie" is? Doug FLynn got the nickname "The Glue" (of the Big Red Machine - ha)

I like the sticker design better than the base design

Lot of the cards are off center.

Lol. Why did you hate Frank Tanana?

You know quality control is bad when even the card on the front of the box is off center

How does Gaylord Perry look like he is 75 in that pic.

Not trying be a jerk but calling players being different tries hall of famers is a slap in the face to players and to the administration of hall of fame. Players and the voters do not look at players elected like that. When you are in the hall of fame you all are one of the greatest to play the game. It doesn’t matter if you are Babe Ruth, or Bruce Sutter your enshrined as the greatest because only 1% of of players ever to play the game are in the Hall of Fame.

first!

First. I love your videos and can you pin me please
