I BOUGHT EVERY PACK OF TOPPS FROM 1980-2020! 40 YEARS OF TOPPS BASEBALL CARDS! 

Anyone else catch that he said Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the 2001 pack

I know this was probably a lot of work to collect these but this should be a yearly tradition on your birthday.

Oddly enough the stores restocked those within seconds whereas there's still no toilet paper? Go figure...

When I was a kid I had about 50 Rickey Henderson rookie cards. Sadly, they "disappeared" when I joined the military. When I pulled those cards he was just a "speedster" starting out so I thought nothing except, "Dang, why do I have 50 of this guy?" Back then I sorted my loose cards by year, then team. Until the ranks opened up I would get the Topps box set at the end of the year(near Christmas)and that was all you needed to say you had them all in your collection. But, it must have been the bubble gum that drew me to go purchase loose packs during the week, and the wall flipping, we can't forget the wall flipping. I never did the bike spokes but some of my friends did because they made better "flips" if they had bends or tears in the cards...lol I miss seeing shows like this, memory lane type of deal, thank-you.❤️‍🔥🙏😻👑💖

Please do this again!!! Imagine how awesome this would be if it were one box from each year... that would be super cool.

Very nice. Between 1993 and 1994 is obviously when the classic pack design began to change. I began collecting in 1988, took a bunch of years off, started again heavily the last few years, especially after viewing these (and others') videos. Thank you.

cant help but wonder how many of the 80s/early 90s wax packs were already searched

Dude..you should have a card in topps and donruss the way you've brought so many people back into collecting and baseball...thank you.forgot how much I truly love baseball...when I look at it now..football and basketball were sports. it was something diff with baseball.

34:21 Used to go to school with his son. Super nice guy. RIP

Now this is what im talking about getting creative...

Dude, I went to prison very young and stopped buying packs from 94 til 2017 when I got my 💩💩💩together. You just gave closure to a big hole in my childhood. All I did as a child in Norcal is play baseball, I was a first baseman and a pitcher but my arm was never that strong. Turned out my tendons were garbage and my arm was trashed by 13, and I could not play any longer. I am sure this contributed to the prison sentence. You just showed me how much I didn't miss, HA!. A large portion of the 2000,s cards are ugly AF. Good video Brother

Regardless of what comes out of these packs, Jabs, I appreciate you. This is some amazing content.

I have tons of cards..... My Grandpa and I use to watch and he was a big big big fan of baseball which made me love the sport. Nice cards

I would never ever leave the hobby I’ve loved since I got my first baseball card

Hey jabs, any chance I can get the Yelich 85 design card from 2020 topps

@jabbs family i have a pirates glowy card in a sleeve if you want to trade its a starling mate 2020 Topps opening day

In the 2001 pack it was Vladimir Guerrero card and you said Vladimir Guerrero Jr😂

Dont forget Frank Thomas was close to the triple crown that year. The expos got shipped and Tony Gwynn was about to bat 400 .

Great stroll up the Topps timeline. Super cool idea Erik! Brought back many memories.

18:39 Rickey Bones 🇵🇷 that card looks 🔥

I have the 1981 Johnny Bench card autographed

You should do this with other card brands like upper deck

I’m pretty sure those scratch off cards in the 1992 pack are the ones you can use a flashlight under them and find the winning combos.

Jabs your doing great keep up the good work

That’s is just.....INSANE...OMG

y did he trow away the Fernando Valenzuela.

I have a javy Baez rookie

That is a real cool collection! The great thing about overproduced cards is that everyone can afford to own top stars, especially rookies.

I collected from 2008 to 2016

Funny thing Erik, you're born 1 year (81) before I was and one day (28) after I was. Also we both like collecting baseball cards. My favorite year 1996, I'll never forget my dad (Who is 73) we bought packs together and he pulled a Mickey Mantle reprint. He was so happy. I always get a pack of Topps baseball to share that connection. My Dad isn't doing well so if people could lift him in up in prayer, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to lose him yet.

He said vlad jr ? In 2001

'81 pack was fire.. well, as fire as '81 can be. Haha

Hi god bless have a good one

My wife went to high school with Scott Elbert. Tiny town high school in Missouri.

Some good ones there

Great video Erik

That Paul konerko awsome...he signed a broken batting practice bat for me that same year..spring training 95''......wow.awsome man

I did this with my boys a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it - especially with anybody who has kids.

Did you read Brad Balukjian's book The Wax Pack? Your 1986 pack is partial clone of his-- Mulliniks, Cocanower, Carman, and Pettis were all in his.

I love the jabs family

There should be a Hall of Fame for RU-vid and this video should get you inducted.

Good video. Nice to have for reference because it’s hard to remember what every year looks like. I prefer the designs from the 1980s because that’s when I started to collect. Back then Don Mattingly was the guy.

I got the 660 card box every year from 2009 until 2015. Also got a bunch of cards from my dad, neighbor and uncle. That’s definitely over 5,000 cards lol.

Had to see what got pulled from the pack from my birth year. Nice to see a player from my home team in there.(Although the following pack had an objectively more well known player, but still cool.) What a fun coincidence.

Guys I’m completely new on collecting cards but I bought a 2020 Gypsy box and pulled a Vladimir Guerrero JR black front fortune teller autograph 1/1 any idea what I should sell for.

I pulled a bleyelven from a mystery pack at the card shop, surprised by how much he sells for. Buckner would be in the 86 pack haha! We still haven’t forgiven him.

I have a Louisville Slugger baseball bat autographed by Randy Johnson. Never used. He came to Ramstein Airbase with the USO and he signed it for me. Wonder if it is worth anything.

My thought is Topps put out base set hot garbage in terms of quality to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 1991. You then see a noticeable shift in quality when sifting through the 1992 and 1993 base set.

Hi Jabs, I have 2 sealed hobby boxes of 2000 tops chrome. I don’t know if I should sell them or open them. If I open them what cards should I be looking for? Thanks

I was the same as you graduated 99. First cards were 89 topps loved 90 topps first set 91 topps. Didn't recognize to much after 94 topps until 2018. Crazy how it felt like I collected forever back then though

Thanks that was pretty educational. I learned about cards and myself. I had no idea what year I stopped collecting cards but by making out what year I stopped recognizing the card design I learn that it was 1994 when I turned 18 years and on the strike year that I stopped collecting cards. I had no idea that the strike year made me soo bitter. It was also educational by showing me what I missed. Can you do this again for other companies such as Donruss,Upper Deck. I remember that Topps weren't though of highly so maybe I kept collecting other companies.

Sadly the NNOF Thomas was selling for maybe $20 back in the day. I graduated high school in 89

10:37 thought it was a Bonds!!

Great video buddy!! I love Topps baseball cards and I have been collecting them for more than 30 years, see this old cards brought to my mind my good childhood memories, thank you very much and congratulations you found lots of hall of farmers

That '86 Buckner probably triggered Red Sox fans for nearly twenty years. Lol that man was truly hated for 2 decades

I only collected for 3 years, from 2015 to 2018. I’m 16 now but watching this video is surprisingly nostalgic for me.

In before someone complains you’re not wearing gloves 😂

I've been doing box breakers and have come across many great card such as a Ricky Henderson Rookie. So hard to get decent cards ripping packs. Like I said before. I have no idea as to where the Henderson Rookie should even fall in my collection

That 1985 pack appears to have a gum stained card on the front and back. Appears to be searched.

Its sad for Padres fans because 1994 resulted in Gwynn being .006 away from .400

Wow my brain remembered the smell of that 86' Topps pack i opened so many! Wow, thank you

Could you consider doing bowman from 1989 to now?

Loved the break!! Makes me want to buy a pack of every year and save them

792 cards and the best rookie a person could have stumbled on to was a Cecil Fielder. I collected that set. The Pete Rose cards were cool. I wish Topps would have put the rookie cards in the base sets. I thought it was smart and cool that topps brought back the trophy and the future stars for the 87 set. I love 86 set, but it was not an exciting set.

I love packs I have a lot I have cards from 1985 too 1990 baseball and football

What a neat idea for a video. I think I'm going to start stashing a couple of packs of every Topps release each year. Great video, Jabs.

Love your videos, although the way you open packs drives me nuts. Using your two pointer fingers, odd.

Me: what website does he get his info on everyone from? And how does he do it so fast 🤔🤔🤔 Jab: silly human

I got a All-Star Dale Murphy from that 1984 set.

Dam that 2002 set is stacked.. Even though I hate nomar that’s a great card and having the moose behind him just makes that better! Which one was ur favorite set?

31:53 is that a Max Scherzer rookie card? If not, what year would that card be and does it hold value? He's a future HOF'r

Okay, lost track of Donruss over the years. A 40 years of Donruss video would be an excellent follow up to this one.

21:41 Alex Fernandez never had a no-hitter with the White Sox, you might be thinking of Wilson Alvarez.

Ichiro did not get more hits then pete rose!! Pete rose’s numbers would’ve been much higher also had he played a few years in the Japanese league. I wish people would quit saying that!!!! Pete rose is currently the hits leader! Or another way of saying it is ichiro would not have gotten as many hits had he played all his games in the majors! If he is in the minors here in the US maybe he doesn’t even make the majors for an extra couple of years! 😡

Tops should put the gum back in the packs for only 2091

I can't remember if it was 1990 or 1991 that Topps put a Mickey Mantle rookie card in the pack.

This was a great video Jabs, and you are right... If Kershaw retired right now he would be a Hall of Famer!

I’m just coming back in after 20 years lol 31yo now

This was great fun going down memory lane. And also so many years I wasn’t collecting. We didn’t have any luck with those early year cards, but still good fun. Lots of inserts and gold cards

nomar was so good the yankee fans couldn't even say anything bad about him... weird how he fell off!

Remember those 80s 90s packs well. I used to pick those up all the time when I was younger

Very nice, stopped collecting in the 90’s, this is the 1st time I’ve seen many of these cards over the last couple decades!

I actually love Manager cards, also ref cards from Hockey packs.

Great concept for a video. Amazing to see how Topps has changed through the years - both in design and how cards per pack have varied.

I going to make a RU-vid video of me opening a 1979 basketball pack

I've been collecting cards since the 1970s I was born in 1972

Hey I’ve found that base cards make good toilet paper

I have 2 acuna Jr rookie cards getting titan shield sleeves tomorrow

Awesome video as it was cool to see the designs through the years. I’m a few years older than you and 86 donruss was the first cards I can remember buying as I was looking for the Canseco rookie.

great video I pc Griffey if I had that Griffey insert I would freak out

My grandfather bought a topps set for every kid and grandkid so he has some high dollar cards

Looking forward to the opening packs of 2020 to 2060 Topps 😉

This video was extremely nostalgic. Ty😊

I got both Rickey Henderson cards

I dont know if its just me but the players from back in the day like in those 80's packs all look old

This was an amazing opening and an amazing trip down memory lane thank you so much for posting this this was cool for me this afternoon.

Awesome break there was no good luck but its fun to watch how they change the design year by year

That was a great video. Thanks. Nice greetings from germany

Bought some baseball cards on garage sale. Please can you mention some names that l can look out for that worth money...

That was so much fun! I love watching certain breaks, not all, but most. And this ranks up there with one of the more creative and fun breaks to watch.
