1987 was the first year I really saw packs of cards "everywhere", candy stores, drug stores, supermarkets, etc., so that's where I say Junk Wax Era started, then it started to snowball after that with Score and Upper Deck coming online

[@jasong460]

The condition of these cards seems to good to be true. Wonder if some "trimming" was involved. If not kudos to this company for the condition.

[@nunzi83]

Yeah. These guys deff spent a lot of time trimming 100,000’s of $1-2cards. Not hard to find cards in the 70’s and 80’s in great condition.

[@nunzi83]

Also. The company can spend money on cards in great shape for this product. There making a ton of money in sales to do it. It’s simple math.

[@magnumxlpi]

@@nunzi83 so they have the time to source 100,000s of card and evaluate their condition, but not just trim instead.. got it

[@snacksquatch2308]

definitely my favorite rip you've done. Gorgeous cards.

[@joshspruit6236]

Love all the Nolan Ryan cards as well as the hoF hits - what quality of cards 👍👍

[@paulwilson252]

The beginning of the junk wax era was 1981. The number of set manufacturers tripled with donruss and fleer coming into the market. Also topps was producing more product then they could sell with the black X out program where they would buy back unsold products from distributors and dealers.

[@charleswinner6805]

I’m impressed by the condition of the cards. Many appear to be in 8-9 condition. Fun rip.

[@buddymorrison8078]

Someone at the company had a sense of humor, putting the Pete Rose and Ray Fosse cards right next to each other.

[@mam362]

with so many of those boxes produced (most of which will never be opened) it is next to impossible to prove that they actually inserted those mantle cards into any of them

[@johnsmith-oh2xo]

I watch people pull mantle cards from these all the time just look it up on youtube.....

[@AshMorton]

Those cards are in unbelievable condition!

[@randyworden5232]

The condition of these cards is amazing...I wonder what their sources are?? 9s and 10s all over the place. Corners, centering, gloss.

[@darbthebrad]

I think there’s a good reason nobody has found the mantle yet….. it was never in the product. The only Mantles I have seen were from their own sponsored rips… oh what a surprise they had Mantles…

[@shermhart7617]

Same thing I was thinking as soon as I seen the video, anit letting no mantle go to peasants

[@Ref-er4lb]

1988 Because that's when I went all in on this hobby. But as life happens i became a collector. So now I open packs to build sets and enjoy the possibilities of profit.

[@TQDMcGee]

Ray Fosse and Pete Rose back to back.... they knew ahat they were doing lol

[@ultimatemancia]

Any chance some of those are reprints? The condition is insane on some of those cards

[@montrealsports29]

No, the company that makes those boxes always includes cards that are in really nice condition.

[@17Helton]

All original cards as I am pretty sure it says it on the box and possibly on the wrappers as well. Reputable company. First time I have seen a "Tiffany" card pulled though. (Dave Henderson)

[@uwetetzlaff8967]

Ya very nice, I'm a have to check a box out myself, if their still available! Something different for a change, the cards r looking pretty good! Good luck ur still 1 of the of knowledgeable I listen too!

[@seangriffin9964]

Junk Wax started in 1987. I remember as a kid going to Costco & get Topps for $12 or $13 box. Every 2 week going to buy a box. Now today I have 10 5K boxes of that set year

[@Harry11152]

Pretty awesome rip! Those cards and the quality they are in was amazing to see. Thanks!

[@jimfalkler9361]

That was an awesome box of cards. Great Brock and Ryan cards. Thanks Erik, keep up the great work.

[@kenstermaniac9]

Thanks for showing us these products

[@mattskrabak5496]

Those cards were in great shape. This may be worth the 300 depending on what those grade out to

[@rekcusdoo]

One of my favorite opens. Would have bought one of these if I'd known about them.

[@joec361]

Fun to watch, cards seem to be in great condition. Thank you!

[@GlennTheSadMarinersFan]

Guessing these were pulled out of sets? very nice.

[@RedyPiper]

Great vid Jabs! Mattingly is my favorite player all time. Hoisting a brew to your dad.✌️

[@russellholman2063]

Depend on who you ask. Junk I feel was 87, but I have been advised 88 to 91 or 92.

[@Comment957]

Erik, you should create a dimensional no-go gauge for verifying the proper dimensions on these older cards..identifying trimmed cards.

[@edwardsalinas3627]

They sell the guid and/or gage. It looks like a map protractor. That would be a good idea for the show to see the centering and if they are trimmed!

[@mikemac4388]

Great video....loved these packs. Thanks Jabs

[@DocCVS1901]

the Killebrew is a $5-$15 card.

Pull. Something. Good. Mr. Jabs

[@kenallen7054]

Love ❤ the old like have 1962

[@johnhargis3027]

I believe the junk era began in 1987, especially with Topps. In 1988 fleer and donruss joined in Unfortunately it seems like we are starting a new cycle again right now except instead of overproducing cards they are overpricing them. .

[@MichaelIp]

Anyone else bothered by the fact 1952 isn't Mantle's rookie?

[@mikeschaffer6023]

I feel junk wax era started in 1987. I think it is much easier to find unopened boxes from 1987 and after than from 1986 and earlier.

Junk wax era = 1987

Hi!

[@mrechannel2023]

YOU have never heard of Biff Pocaroba!?!?! You'll remember him now.

[@bamajd8294]

They look fake

[@pcbullets8726]

One of the best repacks I have seen in a while. Definitely some cards that would grade out nicely. As far as the junk wax era, 86 or 87 seems to be the time when they started to crank up the presses on production.

[@daviddegeorgia7955]

This box is so much fun to watch you rip. I love the older stuff and the chance for a huge hit

[@dankelly5150]

Pretty damn nice cards !! Nice variety and cool George Brett jersey card !!

[@Neufutur]

Have to agree 1986's about the beginning of the junk wax era.

[@dwtdwtdwt]

Junk wax started in 1987, the year after the introduction to Michael Jordan's Fleer rookie card. Card companies knew kids wanted to get their hands on the latest Jordan, Bo Jackson, Jose Canseco, and all of the other major ball players at the time. The height of it was 1989 with Griffey Jr, of course. Junk wax ended in 1995 with card companies including very rare inserts and serial numbering becoming more prevalent in those cards.

[@ScoTTyScoTTyScoTT]

That was very informative thank you :)

[@thomaskreke4635]

So basically the entire time I was collecting cards as a kid. Awesome.

[@Matthewsoxfan]

@@thomaskreke4635 me too

[@Christlockhart1]

Technically you could say ‘52 Topps was junk wax, but they just dumped the bill into the ocean lol

[@donpearson2076]

I agree; I was 9 at the time and was had been collecting only about two years at the time. 1987 was in my opinion as well the start of the Junk wax area.

[@MandalorianFanboy]

One thing I will say about this product is that aside from any monetary value obtained, is that this product is way more fun to open than the average new box at the same price point. I will be looking for one of these to buy.

[@joshw9558]

$300 X 25,000 = $7,500,000 ... Well I think I'll do this too... Wow, cool idea for sure

[@synister281]

Some real cool stuff in this box, I’d buy one if it was in the 150 range 👍. Thanks for opening Jabs!

[@larrybuss677]

If they sell all 25,000 at $300 that comes to $7,500,000

[@ijnhespam5918]

1988 is junk. 1987 and before are respectable. 1986 topps just sucks

[@jmill3147]

I love that Lou Brock 74 Topps. The matching colors with the St. Louis uni. Gorgeous card!

[@aaronkinsky5386]

Mr. Jabs I now 300.00 dollars is alot of money you need too do another one

[@patrickcrawford6404]

Amazing condition on these cards. They should put a sticker on it saying “Save for Retirement - Do Not Re-sell until necessary”

[@richardpeetrinpeetrin9817]

Beautiful vintage cards! Can't believe it! Those 60's and 70's cards were mint. Tony Gwynn, Mark McGwire, and that 74' Brock, and 68' Killiebrew.

[@DaveDurango]

That Henderson is a Tiffany. This was a decent box, not 300 decent though. I think a fair price would be 115-130.00, but I do understand it's Mantle chase series so they have to recoup quite a bit of cash. A lot of those cards are in very good condition, but even those great looking older cards generally don't grade out 9 or 10. Absolutely light-years better than the last Universal Treasures.

[@rockscousteau]

Vintage Cards Treasures....wonder who the mastermind is behind this product

[@chrishoyt9759]

Psa 9 on that killebrew is 250 from what I've seen so far.

[@markpekrul4393]

Can NOT believe the quality of this box for the money you paid for it! Love the breaks you do, but I've seen you pull many a Larry Hisle card over the years and I need to finally point out that it isn't pronounced "Heil", it's "HI-sul". Also, I can't believe you've never heard of Biff Pocoroba! A great young catcher overtaken by injuries. His '78 card is one of my favorites in that set. And his name is "Po-co-RO-bah".

[@jbbradford420]

Rollie Fingers mustache had a faster pitch than his arm! 😅

Awesome cards best repack I’ve ever seen

[@chip12891]

These cards were in amazing condition. It was a fun rip

[@montrealsports29]

That was a nice box. I would consider 1987 to be the beginning of the junk wax era, when Topps really let the printing presses run overtime. There's a reason why 1987 Topps boxes were so cheap for such a long time, because there are so many of them.

[@tommydinatale2819]

I would actually say it was 1986. I remember buying alot of those boxes.

[@montrealsports29]

@@tommydinatale2819 Possibly, but there was definitely a lot more printed of '87 Topps than there was of '86 Topps.

[@stevetrice5046]

Thats what I said! even with the price of a couple mid grade mantles and a sprinkling of some hof cards worth a few bucks they are still making a killing! not to mention moving alot of product that for the most part doesn't sell that great. other than key hof rookies not many people look to buy 5th to 10th year cards of many players oven if they are in the hall
