1985 DONRUSS BOX BREAK! (Throwback Thursday)

[@BillyJack74]

These videos are pretty epic!! Thank you

[@BillyJack74]

Centering on these Donruss are pretty epic too.

[@octaviusgreen]

Good break! Good info.

[@harvey20c]

gorgeous card

[@SethInSD]

2 other decent rookie cards in this set are Eric Davis and Alvin Davis.

[@christianwootton100]

I'm starting to get addicted to these Throwback Thursday episodes. Reminds me as a kid and teenager. One request...when you pull a Bruce Bochy card can you recognize him as a HOFer?

[@JabsFamily]

He’s not in the hall of fame

[@christianwootton100]

@@JabsFamily It won't be long. 4 WS championships as a manager.

[@crackertime2164]

Cool video

[@stevekuleszaunitedstatesai6148]

Holy crap I know this is 2 years old but ur yard is absolutely perfect! Good for you man!

[@brentrichardson5990]

RBI Baseball was my jam! Saberhagen was unhitable... Until he got tired. Then you were in trouble.

[@terrytitus6945]

What was interesting at that time was Donruss,Topps yielded duplicates in each box buf Fleer was 540 different cards,so then you had most of the 660 set right away!

[@johntheiss252]

Another "Old Timer" trick we used, was black border + sharpie = "Mint" card. :)

[@knightni73]

Two for the title was because they had a very close battle for the batting title that season.

[@timmeakin7596]

Thanks for your video tim

[@undertheblue2006]

Man you have good luck

[@georgebenitez1431]

My grandfather gave me a binder full of 85 Donruss I got pucket and Clemens

[@hillbillytrump6817]

Youngblood also got hits in both those games. I can't see that happening again. Hits for 2 different teams on the same day.

[@B.A.A.SportsAngel]

Love Nolan Ryan.

[@nickfish629]

Jerry Reed….Eastbound and Down..

[@willisfletcher6260]

I thought it was odd that out of 72 packs, there was no Puckett or Eric Davis RC. Eric is my favorite player of all time. Sad that injuries derailed his career. He had HoF talent, but couldn’t stay healthy.

[@Ynalaw]

Roy Clements could really toss a hot one.

[@dominiccampbell1989]

Wow! Nice yard.

[@heelfan50]

Two for the title was about the 1984 batting title not the World Series

[@farlow126]

You pulled a Tom Seaver error card in your break. If you notice he was a left handed pitcher.

[@shawnoneal8646]

Fantastic. This one got a good chuckle out of me man when you changed your voice and did an impersonation and you Steve Balboni in that section of the video.

[@chadfawley9023]

RBI BASEBALL DOUBLE DRIBBLE CONTRA..My 3 favorite games I only played them and football

[@captmorgan2063]

No Eric Davis or Kirby but you did hit some nice ones.

[@joejarrell2578]

No wonder you can afford all the cards you buy!! Look at that property!!

[@kevinmccarron2516]

“The core four”

[@qw7154]

Nevermind I was 1986 DR

[@jsin14419]

I hated Donruss. It always seemed like they printed only 10 cards.

[@cousineddie4846]

Kirby Puckett was the signature on my first baseball glove.

[@Ynalaw]

I had an Orel Hershiser glove, Louisvilleslugger.

[@TwoPyramid]

That set was so delicate.

[@funcake3000]

84 and 85 r my favorite donruss sets

[@golfmaniac007]

agreed......along with the 86 too.

[@qw7154]

Idk exactly but I do know one pack was $5 in 1987

[@dmm5159]

Dunston!

[@Cardlestube]

Dunruss - why they didnt make Puckett, Clemens and Gooden Rated Rookies ill never know.

[@view247flix]

Nice box breaks of this cool design 1985 set. I liked seeing the 2 Roger Clemens rookies pulled. These were tough to find when I was growing up in the 80's in my area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Topps was the dominant brand found everywhere along with some Fleer but Donruss was very scarce.

[@nelld9094]

I love the view! It was beautiful!!

[@dmm5159]

I like the 85 donruss design

[@ericgerber4099]

It’s like going back in time. 1985 was the Zenith on my childhood collecting days.

[@josephlombardo16]

Nice break. Like the black border as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@Rorschachqp]

Two For The Title...for the AL batting title, not World Series.

[@dallaswiller]

I loved kirby pucket. He was a huge star in Minnesota..

[@CmdrGates]

I grew up in Johnstown and really enjoy your baseball cards videos showing good old western PA. I now live in Phoenix, AZ and I'm a little bit homesick. Keep up the great work and good hunting !

[@TheGargoylesDen]

I'm originally from Illinois but moved here to Mesa 5 years ago or so! Valley of the Sun...!

[@alanneel1369]

im a big fan of 85 donruss...great break

[@williamgrissom1995]

I last collected cards back in the 1980s and early 1990s, so the throw back videos are what I enjoy watching the most. Your commentary as you go through the packs is what makes me keep coming back. If some watchers complain about you missing talking about one card or another, then they are very unappreciative and should be ignored anyway. Your commentary is non-stop all through the video. What more can any reasonable person want than that. Anyway thank you for the video. Some of us really appreciate your throw back videos. 😁👍

[@MyerheadsCards]

The "Tom Seaver" at 30:32 is actually a photo of Floyd Bannister. Donruss made a corrected version of Seaver which is the more valuable of the two.

[@jpmnky]

Pennsylvania is beautiful man. Always wanted to. Came close I spent New Years in Morgantown WV in 2002. If I had more time I wanted to go to Pittsburgh. I’m from Lexington KY so I’m about five hours from the border.

[@gymlimberita715]

I like Tony Gwynn

[@chrisdrake7689]

Yes 80s are the best Jabs and especially when it comes to baseball cards and music, cartoons and movies and sports, definitely the best era without a doubt!

[@krisroberts6615]

I was just looking for that Kirby Puckett, now that I'm off my 15 year hiatus from collecting.

[@lauragawedzinski7676]

Pirates ground crew...admiring those nice lines....

[@anthonye.2553]

Yeah baby!!!!!!

[@JasonCWaite]

Where do we get certified boxes like these?

[@garysiegel213]

I never saw a Rose Expos card before. He finished 84 on the Reds and was still there in 85 (obviously), so that is strange that his card would not be on the Reds. Nice video

[@chrisjones1259]

Pete's also in the '84 fleer update set as a expo.

[@ASMRPeople]

For my money the 85 donruss is the sharpest looking baseball card of the 80s. Although the set is not loaded with rookies there is money to be made on gem mint commons for the gamblers. My favorite set however is the 85 leaf. Essentially the same issue, but more rare. I also like the 85 donruss action all-stars, same beautiful card, but bigger.

[@luckap79]

11:03 Clemens rookie

[@wvogs1850]

I bought a 1985 Donruss Value Pack and pulled the Roger Clemens and Orel Hershiser rookie cards.

[@trevorwilliams2482]

Love old products with the older star players and rookies --- brings back memories from my youth and collecting.

[@Chefglenn10]

Love that expos rose card. Also thought it was something special for some odd reason as a kid. Also love how you can open a pack then memorize it when its repeated.

[@chrisjones1259]

Awesome break!! Love the '80 cards. BTW two for the title was for the batting title. They finished one two that year.

[@Intensity-qz2jx]

Enjoy your breaks. I never heard of "Patreon" until viewing your videos. I would like to try one of your breaks. Can you explain it to me? Does it cost to join "Patreon"? How would I find you? Thanks Shane

[@JabsFamily]

Hi! The cheapest Patreon tier is $3 per month which gives you access to the posts/content there which includes the early links for the breaks. Thank you!

[@supprr]

RBI 1, 2, and 3 are my favorite baseball games on the NES. I also loved Dusty Diamonds Allstar Softball even though it was a little strange.

[@ChrisCards]

RBI Baseball I wore out, as well as Bases Loaded. I would keep my own stats in a notebook.

[@aranaboys1637]

Kind words for my favorite player Tony Gwynn, thank you. Pennsylvania Fire fingers!!!! This is my dream box, multiple clemens rookies and multiple GWYNNS!!! Outstanding throwback thursday. it's funny you didn't like the stieb stash, my friends and I didn't like stieb growing up.

[@bostoninu1329]

Erik that an awesome yard. Must be a pain to maintain, but nice to enjoy during the summer.

[@JabsFamily]

Thank you! It's nice for wiffle ball

[@michealwetzel1975]

Cool and awesome

[@raynordstrom1101]

Nice, I really like this set. Cool break.

[@rtmlandscapingjunkremoval1875]

Year I was born.

[@chrisdrake7689]

Can you do 1987 Donruss please?

[@JabsFamily]

OK. I'm on it.

[@chrisdrake7689]

Okay thank you so much bud and thank you for inspiring me to get back into the baseball card hobby, only the vintage ones but I really appreciate it Eric. Before I mostly collected Michael Jordan vintage items and Sacramento Kings vintage items bud.

[@SirManfly]

You live THERE??? 😲 holy moly man I am jealous!!

[@The_Card_Squad]

Fun break. I need to add some of those rookies to my collection.

[@fuzzbecool219]

I’m 15 mins from the bbce store. Nice guys

[@ewags9323]

Very cool break. Liked that set. Found myself watching for the Eric Davis rookie. That was a big pull back in the day.

[@damoncallaway5450]

Same Eric Davis was what I was looking for.....fav player growing up....I remember when these packs were $25 a piece at the cardshop in the late 80s.....

[@damoncallaway5450]

Wow two full boxes and no Eric Davis....I would’ve been heartbroken & broke lol

[@damoncallaway5450]

Here I am again watching this video waiting for the Eric Davis that never came, then I realized I have commented before lol 😂……oh well what can you do

[@kennethmoore5599]

That was awesome I wished I picked up some of those boxes i just picked up 6 boxes 1987 Topps baseball and out of all the boxes I only found two Barry Bond rookie cards one was in really great shape the other one had a ding in the corner but still happy i have one good card thanks

[@Lawomenshoops]

The Winfield and Mattingly Two of the Title card was about those two battling for the batting title in 84! It has nothing to do with the yankees winning the title!

[@thebookoffesteskyle1753]

one of my favorite sets of the 80s

[@Cardcollector65jw]

I love your throwback Thursday series

[@swisherswish1072]

Great cards!

[@Wanderersea]

Oh the revenge of John Wathan where out of two boxes, he only appeared once here. lol.

[@matthewsins458]

Hey jab! I’m going to be going to the pirates vs diamondbacks on the 24th next week! I’m from Long Island New York, and I’m committed to play football at the university of Pittsburgh! Hopefully I can catch you there! I’ll be wearing a blue Pitt shirt!!

[@ssjnimma]

Sweet, Sweet stuff!

[@RealJSchmo]

Cool Clemens rookies. Live the Diamond Kings.

[@wvogs1850]

Nice Throwback Thursday!!!!!

[@theacguy9546]

That two for the title card is cool. Never seen that one before

[@mattyp8913]

Nice clemens

[@dallaspymm6924]

Nice box! I need to pick up that Clemens somewhere.

[@hunterbuescher4107]

In 1981 fleer I have a Fernando Valenzuela rookie card

[@chadhopkins8508]

Cool video Erik. Sorry no Puckett but cool 3 Clemens cards! Thanks for doing this.

[@Chefglenn10]

I love these box breaks. All of them! I live through everyone that gets in on them. One day I'll be able to afford to buy in. It's been a bad year so far for me. I've only been able to afford one pack of 2019 topps so far. Which I was so grateful for. Please keep up the addicting videos!

[@D3Csportscards]

I remember buying theses at the flea market back in 85 was only place could find them and I think they were a $1 a pk or 6 for $5. Didn't buy many considering I could get 3 pks of topps for a $1. Man the good old days. Lol

[@brandonshurtz2709]

Hey Erik, Love the box openings! Curious about what do you use to ship the cards to people that do your case and box breaks? Referring to what you put the cards in so the cards are in good shape when your customers' receive the cards?

[@JabsFamily]

I put them in team bags, then in cardboard, then in a padded mailer. Thanks!

[@ChrisCards]

I'm sitting on a box of these, I'm hoping all those kirby's ended up in there.

[@williamwright3689]

I got my Puckett rc bottom left jabs

[@terryducote]

I grew up on RBI baseball. Bad Baseball, Baseball Stars, Bases Loaded, and Baseball Simulator 1000 were also awesome

[@jasonabernethy8424]

I loved RBI baseball! I still have everyone stats memorized to this day from that game. Sabs was a beast for the AL all stars with the side arm heater

[@dmm5159]

Speaking of trout, I just got a Fairfield box at rite aid and got a 2012 Trout card. Not his RC but pretty close! Probably got my money back in that card alone

[@uppercountycollectibles1893]

You have a really nice place yard is. Huge

[@ericgerome5400]

Rbi baseball for nintendo . Classic !! I used to love baseball stars too. We would have crazy tournaments in basball stars. Horrible graphics but you could build up your players wen you won games

[@tonymoretti2347]

Baseball stars looked good for NES

[@robertanderson2898]

11:00 nice hit

[@CollectingDustHobbies]

Decent Clemens...most likely a 8 or 9...centering off slightly

[@Seanny5117]

You do know that card of Dave Winfield and Don Mattingly that said two for the title meant batting title tell me you do know that right?
