Opening TWO 1980 TOPPS Basketball Packs! Hunt for Larry Bird Rookie! 

Looks tampered but you had fun opening the packs!

You got a Bird! Plus a Dr J. Nice

Fun to watch but unfortunately those packs are searched & resealed.

Unfortunately, these very much look to be resealed. You did get some nice cards though. Very nice Bird and some HOFers as well. Fun watching you open these!!! Thank you for sharing

sometime in the 80s, these cards were in Halloween packs, 10 packs in a bag for 50 cents.. my buddy and I bought all they had and I had hundreds of the cards, probably 50 Bird/Johnson cards or more.. sold them as a lot to a flea market dealer, didn't keep one

Warm iron we used to reseal them in early 80s

Look at those corners! How the hell they so nice!

Great pull 🤯

Congrats on the Bird RC!

I remember opening these up when I was a kid.. still have some in a baggy all torn apart😥😥😥

Hard to open repacked and glued

I’ve opened Topps wax packs starting with 1978 Football. The packs should open fairly easily without tearing. Also look for wax stains on the card that was touching the back of the pack.

Dude handled them like 91 donruss

Topps basketball, nice 👍

A few things to consider- The packs looked too perfect and the corners of the packs too neat to be tampered with... You pulled a Larry Bird which would not have been in the packs if they had been searched. The way they opened were a little sketch... Were the roller marks on the back in tack and did they line up? Also is the size of the gum consistent with what it was originally supposed to be? Those are things I would consider. Just my two cents...

LETS GOOO

Congrats! Subbed.

Very cool cards.

You don't see these ripped everyday. Just found your channel and subbed. Nice Larry Legend and Dr. J pull!

I know I have one of those Bird/Erving/Magic cards, maybe two. Have to dig through stuff at my Dad’s house. Guess I should get those to PSA.

I know the packs are probably sold at a real high premium for the Bird/Magic/Erving lottery, but I would have loved getting the cards in the first pack.

Lots of fun !! #ripemall

Bro… the corners… BRO BRO THE CORNERS

Wow everybody's a genius.did you enjoy the cards.you could of done way worse.if im searching packs no birds are left behind.packs rip when they are factory sealed.great vid

This guy was like watching my dad handle cards when I was a kid....my goodness.

Probably resealed, especially from eBay. But you still got some really nice cards so who knows? I was surprised to hear you talking about Bird but no mention of Magic RC or maybe I just missed it. When I was a kid, In 88 a buddy and I would go to the card store and you could get all basketball packs from about 76 to 88 for no more than $1.25 (yes, even 86 fleer, I think they were .75 at this point.) We’d go in with $20 and get a couple packs of each. Unfortunately I always skipped this set because I hated to triptych cards. Oops! He’s got the sweet Bird Magic Dr J though, I bet it’s in great shape too.

Glue is too new to be 1980...but you got a Bird...nice cards... great video...😊

There could be a million dollar card in these packs and he's handling these the way I handle my junk mail. OMG.

This was awesome to see you bust. Thanks for showing. Just found your channel. New Sub.

Searched. 1. Theres only 1 card to take ( Bird, Magic, Dr. J ) 2. All other cards regardless of value would be left behind. Thats why the "wrong" Bird rc was there for you. 3. 40+ yr old wax packs, like another comment said, would have ZERO resistance to being opened. 4. Gum was new. Not 40+ yr old gum. 5. Not 100% sure on this one but lm pretty sure the side you open would reveal the backs of cards, not a front card view (of the Bird)....

Well if it was tampered with do you think they would have left a Bird card in there like that??

I would be happy with both packs.

Those were resealed, wax packs open smooth, no tearing, even the super old ones

How much did you pay for packs??

It was really well sealed to be a wax pack that old. Seems like it was resealed.

Looks like an awesome experience. Whether they've been tampered with, one can only guess. What I did notice for a split second might tell you the answer. The Larry Bird card, on the surface, looked to have a substance on it. From what I think I know, wax packs were heated to seal. Thus the substance would not be there in what it appears to me. There would be gum stains, which is another point that the gum didn't look aged at all and would be browning at almost 45 years old. In any case, thanks for letting us watch. Aloha

when I was a kid these was very unpopular hardly anyone bought them! even me now look at them!

100% resealed, at least you got a bird.

Definitely searched and resealed. No way wax on wax melted peels away like that. That’s glued on. Plus the gum usually comes in many pieces

I only buy graded on eBay

Damn keep your fingers off the corners. Good grief!!

The gum was not in the packs?

Check for matching roller marks

Tampered Shipping What did you pay 35. With

They were resealedo gum in the packs!

You dip Daniel?

Definitely resealed. Those should almost fall open. Too much effort to open them. They left the Bird on the back in hopes of someone pressing and thinking they were legit. Question is, did you feel any wax on the rear card?

They should open easily.. no tearing

Wax packs just slide you finger and they open easily. Those look resealed with some modern paper glue

Searched bro

The packs looked searched and resealed. When you angled the Bird in the light, I didn't see any trace of wax on the card. Also there was no gum sugar bleed through on the back of either card.

Appears to be resealed the way that it opened and wrapper tore because of glue

I don’t think they were searched. That Larry Bird would have not been in there if they were lol

You need to return that shit. Wax pack don't rip apart when you open them. That first pack was completely opened and glued shut. You got ripped off. Hahaha.

Those packs were glued wax dont stick they were search

Tampered. Bro why handle them carelessly?

You got scammed never buy loose vintage packs off ebay unless there graded

this is the second time you got ripped? goodness.

Bruh but the other Larry bird

Packs are never glued wax is sealed with heat. Why there called wax packs. That being said they've been re sealed

Yea looks like they’ve been searched. To bad but hey you got some nice cards still

People trippen bout how you hold the cards like it’s their cards 😂😂😂

i have a friend who owns four magic/bird rcs that were pack pulled. he says the sequencing of the packs from an unopened 1980 topps basketball box is pretty simple. he says all he has to do is open a couple packs, then he would know exactly where the packs of the magic/bird rcs are. anyone know if this is true?

Does he not know its Magic’s rookie too? He keeps just saying Larry Bird.

Bro use expensive gloves when you open something like this

Sorry to say, but those are repacks. Any wax I’ve opened never tear like that,

No if searched that bird would have been gone

Not searched kid u got birds rookie just not the bird Johnson combo card

Holy shit dude...have you ever handled a card in your life? This was downright DIFFICULT to sit through. You are beating the TAR out of those cards.

There's no way a 40 year old pack rips when you opening. They should've opened very easily. These have definitely been opened & sealed back up.

No gum! Resealed

I can tell that you dont Love collecting and the "spitit" that comes with it! Purely on a hunt for $$ Without paying homeage to the fact that you are even Holding these cards! Interesting!

well you bot balls for getting that of ebay dont think you had a chance of the Bird

Fucking open it stop playing with it jeeez

That was painful to watch. You kept not mentioning Magic Johnson’s RC and kept touching all of the corners of the cards.

Dude….you’re touching the corners with your fingers…..please be careful…. Sorry to be that guy, but you really need to be more gentle.

Please learn how to handle your cards! There is no way you arent damaging them. Sheesh

Hated these cards. Very stupid idea for kids. Of course the kids separated them and the smart adults kept them intact. I probably didn't buy Topps basketball again until 1994.

Such a shame that Bird and Magic rookies both had to be in the ugliest card set of all time.

Robbed.

Girl finger nails and all
