1985 DONRUSS BOX BREAK! (Throwback Thursday) 

Fantastic. This one got a good chuckle out of me man when you changed your voice and did an impersonation and you Steve Balboni in that section of the video.

I loved kirby pucket. He was a huge star in Minnesota..

It’s like going back in time. 1985 was the Zenith on my childhood collecting days.

I last collected cards back in the 1980s and early 1990s, so the throw back videos are what I enjoy watching the most. Your commentary as you go through the packs is what makes me keep coming back. If some watchers complain about you missing talking about one card or another, then they are very unappreciative and should be ignored anyway. Your commentary is non-stop all through the video. What more can any reasonable person want than that. Anyway thank you for the video. Some of us really appreciate your throw back videos. 😁👍

11:03 Clemens rookie

Nice box breaks of this cool design 1985 set. I liked seeing the 2 Roger Clemens rookies pulled. These were tough to find when I was growing up in the 80's in my area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Topps was the dominant brand found everywhere along with some Fleer but Donruss was very scarce.

Love that expos rose card. Also thought it was something special for some odd reason as a kid. Also love how you can open a pack then memorize it when its repeated.

Awesome break!! Love the '80 cards. BTW two for the title was for the batting title. They finished one two that year.

I bought a 1985 Donruss Value Pack and pulled the Roger Clemens and Orel Hershiser rookie cards.

I thought it was odd that out of 72 packs, there was no Puckett or Eric Davis RC. Eric is my favorite player of all time. Sad that injuries derailed his career. He had HoF talent, but couldn’t stay healthy.

Pennsylvania is beautiful man. Always wanted to. Came close I spent New Years in Morgantown WV in 2002. If I had more time I wanted to go to Pittsburgh. I’m from Lexington KY so I’m about five hours from the border.

2 other decent rookie cards in this set are Eric Davis and Alvin Davis.

What was interesting at that time was Donruss,Topps yielded duplicates in each box buf Fleer was 540 different cards,so then you had most of the 660 set right away!

Holy crap I know this is 2 years old but ur yard is absolutely perfect! Good for you man!

Love old products with the older star players and rookies --- brings back memories from my youth and collecting.

RBI Baseball was my jam! Saberhagen was unhitable... Until he got tired. Then you were in trouble.

I love these box breaks. All of them! I live through everyone that gets in on them. One day I'll be able to afford to buy in. It's been a bad year so far for me. I've only been able to afford one pack of 2019 topps so far. Which I was so grateful for. Please keep up the addicting videos!

Very cool break. Liked that set. Found myself watching for the Eric Davis rookie. That was a big pull back in the day.

I grew up in Johnstown and really enjoy your baseball cards videos showing good old western PA. I now live in Phoenix, AZ and I'm a little bit homesick. Keep up the great work and good hunting !

Yes 80s are the best Jabs and especially when it comes to baseball cards and music, cartoons and movies and sports, definitely the best era without a doubt!

Nice break. Like the black border as well. Thanks for sharing!

Nice box! I need to pick up that Clemens somewhere.

Good break! Good info.

Another "Old Timer" trick we used, was black border + sharpie = "Mint" card. :)

Kind words for my favorite player Tony Gwynn, thank you. Pennsylvania Fire fingers!!!! This is my dream box, multiple clemens rookies and multiple GWYNNS!!! Outstanding throwback thursday. it's funny you didn't like the stieb stash, my friends and I didn't like stieb growing up.

Fun break. I need to add some of those rookies to my collection.

The "Tom Seaver" at 30:32 is actually a photo of Floyd Bannister. Donruss made a corrected version of Seaver which is the more valuable of the two.

I love the view! It was beautiful!!

Nice, I really like this set. Cool break.

These videos are pretty epic!! Thank you

gorgeous card

Cool video Erik. Sorry no Puckett but cool 3 Clemens cards! Thanks for doing this.

I love your throwback Thursday series

I loved RBI baseball! I still have everyone stats memorized to this day from that game. Sabs was a beast for the AL all stars with the side arm heater

Hey Eric! Great vid, keep it going

That was awesome I wished I picked up some of those boxes i just picked up 6 boxes 1987 Topps baseball and out of all the boxes I only found two Barry Bond rookie cards one was in really great shape the other one had a ding in the corner but still happy i have one good card thanks

Thanks for your video tim

RBI 1, 2, and 3 are my favorite baseball games on the NES. I also loved Dusty Diamonds Allstar Softball even though it was a little strange.

Two for the title was because they had a very close battle for the batting title that season.

im a big fan of 85 donruss...great break

Wow! Nice yard.

84 and 85 r my favorite donruss sets

Once upon a time long ago that Danny Tartabull was a super hot card. You'd have though you'd hit the jack pot if you opened this box around 86 or 87 :0)

I was just looking for that Kirby Puckett, now that I'm off my 15 year hiatus from collecting.

love the vids! thank you for making me interested in baseball again!! love from Portugal

Erik that an awesome yard. Must be a pain to maintain, but nice to enjoy during the summer.

Cool Clemens rookies. Live the Diamond Kings.

That set was so delicate.

Youngblood also got hits in both those games. I can't see that happening again. Hits for 2 different teams on the same day.

I’m 15 mins from the bbce store. Nice guys

RBI BASEBALL DOUBLE DRIBBLE CONTRA..My 3 favorite games I only played them and football

That two for the title card is cool. Never seen that one before

Great cards!

one of my favorite sets of the 80s

For my money the 85 donruss is the sharpest looking baseball card of the 80s. Although the set is not loaded with rookies there is money to be made on gem mint commons for the gamblers. My favorite set however is the 85 leaf. Essentially the same issue, but more rare. I also like the 85 donruss action all-stars, same beautiful card, but bigger.

Love Nolan Ryan.

Sweet, Sweet stuff!

Roy Clements could really toss a hot one.

Nice Throwback Thursday!!!!!

You live THERE??? 😲 holy moly man I am jealous!!

My grandfather gave me a binder full of 85 Donruss I got pucket and Clemens

I like Tony Gwynn

Pirates ground crew...admiring those nice lines....

Cool video

Yeah baby!!!!!!

Jerry Reed….Eastbound and Down..

Man you have good luck

Hey jab! I’m going to be going to the pirates vs diamondbacks on the 24th next week! I’m from Long Island New York, and I’m committed to play football at the university of Pittsburgh! Hopefully I can catch you there! I’ll be wearing a blue Pitt shirt!!

No Eric Davis or Kirby but you did hit some nice ones.

I grew up on RBI baseball. Bad Baseball, Baseball Stars, Bases Loaded, and Baseball Simulator 1000 were also awesome

You pulled a Tom Seaver error card in your break. If you notice he was a left handed pitcher.

I never saw a Rose Expos card before. He finished 84 on the Reds and was still there in 85 (obviously), so that is strange that his card would not be on the Reds. Nice video

You have a really nice place yard is. Huge

I'm happy with Ryne Sandberg, Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount and Ozzie Smith... although the Clemens would've been nice...or a Jose Canseco? Lol

Speaking of trout, I just got a Fairfield box at rite aid and got a 2012 Trout card. Not his RC but pretty close! Probably got my money back in that card alone

No wonder you can afford all the cards you buy!! Look at that property!!

Where do we get certified boxes like these?

I remember buying theses at the flea market back in 85 was only place could find them and I think they were a $1 a pk or 6 for $5. Didn't buy many considering I could get 3 pks of topps for a $1. Man the good old days. Lol

Cool and awesome

Jabs what’s your favorite online site for top loaders and boxes to hold cards

Rbi baseball for nintendo . Classic !! I used to love baseball stars too. We would have crazy tournaments in basball stars. Horrible graphics but you could build up your players wen you won games

Two For The Title...for the AL batting title, not World Series.

I like the 85 donruss design

Two for the title was about the 1984 batting title not the World Series

I'm sitting on a box of these, I'm hoping all those kirby's ended up in there.

Dunston!

Dunruss - why they didnt make Puckett, Clemens and Gooden Rated Rookies ill never know.

In 1981 fleer I have a Fernando Valenzuela rookie card

Oh the revenge of John Wathan where out of two boxes, he only appeared once here. lol.

And that's Steve 'Bye Bye' Balboni to you :0)

Hey Erik, Love the box openings! Curious about what do you use to ship the cards to people that do your case and box breaks? Referring to what you put the cards in so the cards are in good shape when your customers' receive the cards?

“The core four”

Kirby Puckett was the signature on my first baseball glove.

Another hit for me.

I hated Donruss. It always seemed like they printed only 10 cards.

Decent Clemens...most likely a 8 or 9...centering off slightly

Enjoy your breaks. I never heard of "Patreon" until viewing your videos. I would like to try one of your breaks. Can you explain it to me? Does it cost to join "Patreon"? How would I find you? Thanks Shane

Idk exactly but I do know one pack was $5 in 1987

Bold question if you had to pick a shut down playoff series starting pitcher my 2 would be jack Morris and Orel hershiser...

Nevermind I was 1986 DR
