TOP 30 Most Valuable Football Cards from the 1980's - 80's Football Rookie Cards! 

What's going on guys! I just finished the Top 30 Football Cards from the 1980's list. Let me know which cards you think should be on this list! I hope you're all having a great weekend, thanks for watching!

Love that Marcus Allen. Dude could do it all and had perhaps the most electric run in SB history.

Great video! Keep them coming!

Thanks for these cool videos, helps a lot on what to search for

You do a great job with the cards you show I leaned a lot and have a lot of the same now all I have to do is Psa them see you again

Hey, man. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

I have the Dan Marino Rookie card. I bought it for $60 as a kid in the early 90's. It has never been removed from it's case. Looking at it today, it looks flawless.

Great video - Those 1980's football sets are so condition sensitive. Fun to collect!

84 topps my all time favorite card set

I knew this would be a solid list when #25 went for $301!! That is not cheap!! I recently bought a massive collection of cards from a guy in Columbus (8 full albums, 6 sets and a giant box full of top loaders) and have been watching these videos then going through the cards. I have found quite a few of them, but maybe 1 or 2 total could POSSIBLY be gem mint. Still super fun though. Love these vids man.

So crazy man! I got a lot of these cards but I can't afford to get them graded lol

Hey, Matt. I can't believe most of those cards were able to go gem, because anything with color on the boarders, as you know, show any little flaw. Even coming out of packs. Another good one, there buddy. Have a good one!

I remember buying that 1984 USFL set for about $12.

Cool channel man. Smokey The Bear DOESkick ass😂

Used to have a never opened 1980'S GREEN TOPS WAXED BOX, that I was going to open after I retired, but it mysteriously disappeared when I had movers help me get to FL. They claimed no one ever saw it, and even accused me if faking the claim! No telling what all was in that box!

I just unboxed the howie long rookie card tonight; any advice on selling it and making some money? Haven’t tried to sell any cards before

I've sent three Jerry Rice Topps rookies to PSA and they came back, in this order. First: 8 Second 8 Third 7 There is no doubt the first card I sent in is extremely close to gem mint and I believe it truly is. The 2nd card I sent in that got an eight, clearly, should have been lower than the first one i sent in thar graded out at 8. So it doesn't surprise me how few gems of Rice there are.

Damn, so many nice cards!!! I thought Steve Young 86 Topps would be #1. Surprised Reggie White 86 Topps didn’t make it. My favorite is the Bruce Smith 86 Topps.... so sick!! Thanks for the awesome video, excellent work!

Serious pop control on the Rice card.

Love your videos! I have the Joe Montana rookie card but its definitely not in gem mint condition so if I wanted to sell it would I get any money for it?

I have the Barry Sanders rc upgraded in a screw down holder...has been in it for 30 yrs since I got it in a pack back in '90 when I was 10...it's perfectly mint...

Surprised only one 89 Score RC made the list. I would at least think Troy Aikman, Derrick Thomas, or even a Deion Sanders would make the cut. 84 & 89 were the two best years for RCs out of the 1980s.

P.s. thank you for asking what WE would like to see. You're a gem buddy!

i have most of these cards, those 85 topps black borders was a pain, 9 times out of 10 when you opened these the corners were dinged; that's the reason why most of those perfect cards are worth so much

Hello, I have a question, I have a lot of football cards from the 1980s but they are not within that PSA case, i have them within this shoe bow and they look like they are in good condition, are they still worth something?

I have a Jerry Rice rookie card that is in a thick plastic protector. It's in mint condition. The image has to be well centred in order to determine its value?

I’ve got the Willam Perry error card that went straight from pack I opened into hard case.

love your videos bro can you do a Cal Ripken Jr list pls?

Are you going to make one for 2000s - 2009 football? Especially with some players on way to HOF.

I received in 2 separate Fairfield boxes 1 Marcus Allen and Eric Dickerson rookies. Great conditions!

I have the top 3 but never had them graded! They have always been in protective cases just never graded.

As for the Jerry Rice rookie cards or any of the 30 cards on this list , I am not accusing but Id bet that PSA is corrupt in their grading system to keep the number of cards down for higher prices for Family members collecting cards, close friends of theirs, known prominent investors, Card shop owners, ETC. The regular everyday collector does not have a chance to get good grades on their cards; I have a lot of these cards and have had most graded but I had received only 7.5 to 9 on the scale and some these cards should have received a 10.

THKS

I have that Walter Peyton all stars card that you marked for 1-2k, I keep seeing it for only 10$ is it worth that much

Matt first of all you are freaking awesome. Love love love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them. I think I have a few ideas on how to get more subscribers. Cause your deserve a following. Legit. Take care. And keep up the bangers. I’ll send you my number if you care to speak of aforementioned topic. Flex 💪

I have the majority of these cards. If I get it graded how do I determine the price value?

Can someone explain to me a 1984 Howie Long rookie card when his rookie season was 1981?

Like the video matt I have some of these cards has anyone ever told you that you look like skip Bayless?

Wow, fast forward to 2021, and who would've thought these cards would sky rocket to $100,000 plus. Last month, Rice sold for $115,000 on Goldin Auction and Montana for $87,000.

I have atleast 20 of these cards, in very good condition. DCOG

I said the same thing about the Smokey Emmitt Smith the same time you did. Lol my wife thought I watched the video already

I love these videos. However a lot of people don't know how to interpret information. This video is in no way misleading, but it could mislead some people. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, but I'm not criticizing you. I'm just saying that alot of people think they are going to sell thier cards for the price in this video. I would love to see a video like this where you use AVERAGE prices compared to the highest sale. The highest price list is AMAZING. It's perfect for low print run or low pop cards. But when we're talking about the more common (even junk wax), I think average prices would really provide useful data. You're one of the more well respected YT card guys. So I think if you had some lists like this, but with average prices (past year, past month), people would quote them like the Bible. Guys would be going around the card show with screen shots from your videos asking, "do you have this card fs?", along with, "this is my price".

Heck Yeah My Specialty 80s Football ;-) :-)

Can you do nhl top 30 cards of the 70’s and 80’s , thanks

Hmmmm... I'll have to check the condition of my '86 Rice and Steve Young

How about Dan Hampton NFC pro bowl #30

I had 3 USFL unopened sets for both seasons.

I got most of them top 30 beside the young and rice .If I grade them I feel it makes the cards different.Id like to sell all mine ungraded

Im so confused....is it the gem mint 10? How come i go on ebay and the same cards the are around 5 to 20 bucks ? Some say mint 9 . is that the reason

You should do one of the Top 25 cards of Pete Rose

What about the Boomer Esiason rookie from 86 its been selling for a 1000 for years

Man, I started with 1984 Topps football. I turned 6 that year, they just appeared in my top drawer somehow...... and I (ahem) cut off all the white borders of the cards. And I happened to have two of them with the last names Marino and Elway on them :( so I ruined any chances of those cards catching fire in the future almost immediately...... I think I also had Dickerson's rookie and Moon's '85 Topps. I do own the '82 Munoz AND Lott rookies .

How about a Walter Payton, 1982 Team Leaders card,#28

I'm got same card right in front of me, Marcus ALLEN

I have about 7 of these and if you combined the grades for all I still wouldn’t have even one Gem Mint.

Would you help me with my cards it's so hard to get graded we could be partner in this I have a one for one Mike trout I think his brother made the card Josh trout

I have all of them mint not graded for. Sale i have all the full sets for sale in boxes i can send pics my joe Montana is not centered perfectly but like new

Maybe it's just me, but your audio sounds really good. Something new?

I own a autographed Richard Dent card

Lawrence taylor 1984 topps chewing gum #321

Flame content brother drop some new heat!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks 🦾

I have the #6 1984 walter Payton #228 if anyone is interested in purchasing it!

I noticed all cards were sold by pwcc,

Use bgs cards are going for high prices.

Are you aware that pwcc,probstien,bigboy and most every card on this list have been shilled,trimmed,or some kind of shady stuff behide them? Most serious collectors dont count anything these people sell cards for. Try and sell one of these cards, you will be lucky to get a 3rd of these listed price. Now the Rice/Montana are always going to be the cream of the crop. You might get close or a little above half of these price tags. I like watching your vids and you are doing a good job. But, dont take these prices serious!!

Awesome content....can you change the 80s porno music?

No Emmitt Smith?

You don't look anything like Skip Bayless!

Well I have 28/30 of these cards. Only 4 gem mint 10's though. 😑

How old are you Matt? I'm 34.

Enjoy the shiw

The manufacturing of those cards in the 80s was pure garbage I've pulled numerous star player cards but they are always way off center and the corners always rounded it's like the whole decade they didn't know how to print things anymore

First. For once.

you got alot of ads bro

I have all these cards where do I sell them
