1978 TOPPS BASEBALL CARD BOX OPENING! (Throwback Thursday)

In this video, I open up a BBCE authenticated box of 1978 Topps cello packs. The big find would be a Nolan Ryan, which recently sold for over $14,000 as a PSA 10 or an Eddie Murray rookie card.
Check out the video and see what we find!

It’s great every once in a while to watch an opening like this one. No autos, superfractors, numbered cards, jersey cards, etc. Just cards. The way it used to be.

[@K-xb2qz]

Amen. I started collecting cards in the late 80s, early 90s and it was just cards and bubble gum. I'm 46 now. I miss those days 😢

[@stereomois]

​@@K-xb2qz I wish the base set was something simple, cheap, affordable for kids. You can always add your premium sets with rarer cards and whatnot.

[@JayVonck]

Born in 1963 loved baseball cards and the Tigers! Spent a Lion share of my paper route money on cards😊 Just never took care of them

[@paulnewell7722]

That Jack Morris rookie card must have made your heart take flight!

[@mr.iforgot3062]

Im a professional card dealer. I suggest spraying each card with a clear coat resin. It helps with creases and shine.

[@Wolf-xu1fj]

How much was this box?

[@codeblueize]

Ya that’s funny

[@patrickmead4439]

I opened 100s of 78 Topps packs when I was a kid.

[@bernieudo4399]

'76 is when as a 13 yr. old I started collecting. Remember going to the local store plopping down my quarters & happily coming home during the hot summer w/my Slurpee. Topps packs & a comic book or two. Always in search of Reggie & Pete. Good times!

[@geoffreyg5280]

These old cards take me back to my youth. I was 10 when this set was out, only if I had those cards still.

[@Ynalaw]

Sometimes a touch of WD-40 gets rid of the gum residue. Its old collector's trick.

[@K-xb2qz]

I started collecting cards again about 18 months ago. We have a baseball card shop here( there's not many more around like back in the 80s and 90s) but Everytime I go I buy old cards from the 80s and 90s and it always make me feel like a kid again. I go twice a week. Sometimes weekly but it's such a thrill. 😊

[@ModeratelyAmused]

Back in the 70's, I loved the checklists. That was my only way of knowing who I was missing.

[@JordanWapner]

Wow!! some amazing pulls! That Nolan Ryan is so clean!

[@Wolf-xu1fj]

How much was this box?

[@JordanWapner]

@@Wolf-xu1fj I didnt open this box, youd need to ask the person whose channel it is...also u r replying to a video/comment from 4 years ago.

[@chuckmeat2673]

I love these old breaks! There's so much anticipation for the next card. The whole time I was hoping for that sweet Eddie Murray card or the Ryan. At least we got the Ryan!

[@TripleBAdventures]

Love the throwback series. Can't wait to see some older wax get opened!!

[@Yortwax]

Wow! man wish i had a time machine. I love your throwback Thursdays!!!

[@nathanbruns7053]

I love how excited you get when you pull a hit! It’s awesome to be able to feel your love of the chase and collecting.

[@michaelreilly2912]

WOW, this was my time collecting cards.. I remember all of these cards.. I just wish I still had them..

[@freakywayne8790]

I’m from Detroit and as a kid I bought a ton of these that year. I got a ton of Yankees but hardly any Tigers. All I ever wanted was the Bird Fidrych but a pic of the card I cut out of Parade which came with the Sunday paper was all I ever got.

[@Killsnapz]

Fantastic choice going with the 78 Topps. I was alive in 1978 and I did buy a lot of them. Enough that I put the complete set together. I had 4 Eddie Murray cards back in the day. I only kept one for the complete set and sold the other three to buy more cards in the late 80's

[@abbeyallen8115]

32:51 I hope Jonathan does include that note to PSA so they know it was pack to one touch. That will overrule any condition issues and instant PSA 10. LOL

[@murrayvassar625]

I love the 1978 Topps set. It’s one of the first I remember trying to complete the set.

[@josephlombardo16]

Nice TBT break. Sweet to see the Ryan pulled! I hope it's a PSA 10! Thanks for sharing!

[@matthewvalovcin8770]

I used to live about 5 miles from this store. I took my son there a couple years back while we were back up there visiting family.

[@iamchriscarlson]

Oh, man. I’d love to have that Dawson gold cup card. My baseball hero.

[@smichaels10]

I LOVE the looks of the '78 Topps set!!

[@whyme3941]

Wow! Nolan Ryan card like that is a pipe dream.

[@jacobroden6484]

I love seeing all of these packs from before I was born being opened (born in 94); I love the history of the game, so it is awesome to see!

[@zhor17]

Beautiful cards. Nice to see them pack-fresh. Thanks Erik, this is a great series.

[@aranaboys1637]

awesome nolan ryan!! great throwback thursday!!

[@trecedaves3159]

I'm not a card collector I did as a kid in the early 80's but I'm always amazed a peice of paper with a picture can be worth so much money. I love the Thursday show seeing all the players I know and love. Wade Boggs and reggie Jackson were always my two favorites

[@chadhopkins8508]

That was awesome Erik. Great pulls. Wish you could have got all the biggies. Thanks for sharing.

[@Neufutur]

Hope to see 1970s boxes more often in the future! I know they cost an arm and a leg.

[@mostlyautumn]

Thanks for a great video Erik. Love 78 Topps.

[@nelsondias504]

Growing up 1990, 12 yrs old, I had a ‘54 Stan Musial and a R Yount Rk, I starred collecting in ‘89, went crazy when I got a Chris Sabo and Bo Jackson. Lol

[@rockscousteau]

I used to buy these same packs as a kid in a grocery store in Wheeling Wv as a kid. I used to buy stacks of these cello packs every trip to the store....and comic books

[@bofletcher3212]

Any update on the Ryan card? Was it graded?

[@livinginsports3519]

I love seeing those old cards in such a good condition.

[@boomslang024]

always great to see the older cards.

[@brandonsebastian7980]

Love throwback Thursday! So much fun. Bummer no Murray, but very nice Nolan Ryan and Jack Morris cards. Loved the Johnny Bench as well

[@sicsa689]

Great cards. I remember opening these when I was a kid.

[@MyerheadsCards]

Thanks for the walk through time. 30 cents for a cello pack... haha... love it!

[@ihatenamestoo]

Awesome! love the throwback Thursday, some of those cards looked like PSA 9 or PSA 10

[@nxpubxvicxn8307]

Awesome year for Topps!! Love the rookies coming out of here. Great video and congrats on the awesome pulls

[@BallcardzTV]

Love these old boxes! Great job!

[@wasteoftime1721]

Erik, thank you for this trip down memory lane!! I was 11 in ‘78 and had so many of these cards in my bike spokes 🚲=🏍🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️we were kids!! LOL love the look. Pack freakin fresh!! The Hawk looked so young!!

[@paulhutchins745]

I was 9 years old and 78 was the first cards I bought. Was at Kmart every weekend buying rack packs for 79 cent's with my allowance 😀

[@chrisr.2410]

What is the point of having this resealed and "certified" by the baseball exchange when it's obvious the packs inside have been manipulated? (USPS box looks like it was inserted for structural support)

[@mattmorgan2534]

If this box was tampered with or repacked or anything suspect, there’s no way in hell they would leave that Ryan in there! With only three PSA 10 Ryan’s out there, there’s no way they leave it in there! That Nolan Ryan he pulled is between a 9.5 & 10 easily.

[@kirmack]

Really cool break. Some good hits and happy to see the Ryan, Rose and other Rookies.

[@nealarnett4300]

Love this set. Just received the Murphy card in mail today off eBay. Hoping to complete Braves set from this as well as HOFers. Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!

[@danthedewman1]

jack morris is all over ebay in a psa 9 for around $60.00 to $80.00

[@DVCards]

Wow Unbelievable! Congratulations Jason. Nice pull jabs

[@areguapiri]

I had most of these cards from this year. I started collecting these for fun as a 6 year old.

[@tomadey6534]

Awesome throwback Thursday. I wish I would have bought into it

[@mo_rhec6293]

love topps and these old openings are amazing i wish cards were still 50c lol

[@johnlevalley521]

Brings back a lot of great childhood memories.

[@CmdrGates]

I love the throwback Thursday and this one was very exciting to watch.

[@larryyoung8278]

Great break and great cards. You never lose the excitement of open up a pack of cards and finding that great card. Great video's so keep up the great job.

[@Eltortuga69]

I really enjoy watching the throwback video's the hunt for what could be in it

[@macofalltrades6396]

Nice box bust! Took me back 40 years. I actually knew a lot of the players on the card backs pre-opening; I used that skill to bag a '74 Aaron when I was 8.

[@bubbagainey4439]

that nolan Ryan man,my heart jumped outta my chest for a sec!!!!

[@sodorflubbs5000]

Hey there. I was 9yrs old when this came out. As I am 50 this year it’s making me feel old. Lol.

[@jaredwylie4107]

Love old Topps sets!

[@Totoman1]

Thats a good looking set would love to own a complete set. Congrats Jason C. on that Nolan Ryan beautiful card.

[@Bable012]

Oh man, thats a beautiful Nolan Ryan!

[@mickeywilgus3641]

Great stuff as usual Erik, keep ripping the old stuff brings back memories of my childhood I started really collecting hardcore in 1972.

[@florenciop825]

[@rs4779]

That was cool. Never seen a 70s box opening before.

[@LACollection]

Super awesome box! All vintage packs/boxes are super great. Very historical. I have opened a bunch of vintage wax on my channel too and more to come!

[@ericgerber4099]

Love these cards. First packs I ever opened.

[@chriscooney7840]

Really enjoy throwback thursday

[@steveoko511]

I love the old cards back then

[@BaltimoreBoxBreakers]

Nice break, some nice cards. I just wish you could have pulled a Murray. He's my all time favorite player and it would have been cool to see that one pulled fresh out of the pack. Still cool to see, this was even a year before I opened my first pack.

[@paulmorgan456]

Good break, lots of HOF'ers and others with solid careers.

[@MikeHeezy]

Love your excitement when you pull a hit
