I BOUGHT EVERY PACK OF TOPPS FROM 1980-2020! 40 YEARS OF TOPPS BASEBALL CARDS!

[@derrekh4782]

I know this was probably a lot of work to collect these but this should be a yearly tradition on your birthday.

[@galactic_ape1929]

There is a seller on Ebay offering this up. It only went to 2019 though. Maybe Jabs threw in the 2020 pack. I bought it myself for $170. The early wax was all very suspect. 81 or 82 pack had the gum glued. Also had 2 packs bricked so bad I threw them away. Didn't get my money back but had enough fun I've considered buying another.

[@robertanderson2898]

Very nice. Between 1993 and 1994 is obviously when the classic pack design began to change. I began collecting in 1988, took a bunch of years off, started again heavily the last few years, especially after viewing these (and others') videos. Thank you.

[@sethburkett_9]

Please do this again!!! Imagine how awesome this would be if it were one box from each year... that would be super cool.

[@alexjones9241]

Anyone else catch that he said Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the 2001 pack

[@cdeezy2718]

Love that card.

[@hawktriad]

When I was a kid I had about 50 Rickey Henderson rookie cards. Sadly, they "disappeared" when I joined the military. When I pulled those cards he was just a "speedster" starting out so I thought nothing except, "Dang, why do I have 50 of this guy?" Back then I sorted my loose cards by year, then team. Until the ranks opened up I would get the Topps box set at the end of the year(near Christmas)and that was all you needed to say you had them all in your collection. But, it must have been the bubble gum that drew me to go purchase loose packs during the week, and the wall flipping, we can't forget the wall flipping. I never did the bike spokes but some of my friends did because they made better "flips" if they had bends or tears in the cards...lol I miss seeing shows like this, memory lane type of deal, thank-you.❤️‍🔥🙏😻👑💖

[@MrTazjr-qd3wj]

I have tons of cards..... My Grandpa and I use to watch and he was a big big big fan of baseball which made me love the sport. Nice cards

[@diehardsportscards868]

Dude..you should have a card in topps and donruss the way you've brought so many people back into collecting and baseball...thank you.forgot how much I truly love baseball...when I look at it now..football and basketball were sports. it was something diff with baseball.

[@cameronnash1039]

I would never ever leave the hobby I’ve loved since I got my first baseball card

[@noogie1]

Funny thing Erik, you're born 1 year (81) before I was and one day (28) after I was. Also we both like collecting baseball cards. My favorite year 1996, I'll never forget my dad (Who is 73) we bought packs together and he pulled a Mickey Mantle reprint. He was so happy. I always get a pack of Topps baseball to share that connection. My Dad isn't doing well so if people could lift him in up in prayer, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to lose him yet.

[@bolbol9118]

Prayers for you and your family. Hopefully he is better soon

[@ZMOA2006]

Great video buddy!! I love Topps baseball cards and I have been collecting them for more than 30 years, see this old cards brought to my mind my good childhood memories, thank you very much and congratulations you found lots of hall of farmers

[@robhirsh5310]

Great stroll up the Topps timeline. Super cool idea Erik! Brought back many memories.

[@joebeastyg5686]

That was so much fun! I love watching certain breaks, not all, but most. And this ranks up there with one of the more creative and fun breaks to watch.

[@dmm5159]

I love this idea. 1996 to 2005 was my peak collecting period. I loved 1998 through 2003 especially. They really remind me of my childhood

[@hi21CrazyClips]

That period is where I have 0 cards

[@popsdyer731]

Very nice, stopped collecting in the 90’s, this is the 1st time I’ve seen many of these cards over the last couple decades!

[@bretthaifley2854]

Regardless of what comes out of these packs, Jabs, I appreciate you. This is some amazing content.

[@Mark-sy2bx]

That is a real cool collection! The great thing about overproduced cards is that everyone can afford to own top stars, especially rookies.

[@nodukes]

What a neat idea for a video. I think I'm going to start stashing a couple of packs of every Topps release each year. Great video, Jabs.

[@terrysavage825]

I like that you know and appreciate the capabilities of the older players and their cards. This was fun!

[@Worklikeyoushouldbe]

Wow my brain remembered the smell of that 86' Topps pack i opened so many! Wow, thank you

[@TheRevertMuslim]

One of the best memories of Red Sox Yankees playoff rivalry I had growing up was seeing My man Pedro throwing Don Zimmer to the ground where he rolled like a jelly donut… Go Red Sox!!!! And this is a legendary video , I love this idea!!!

[@ericzdrojewski137]

This was great fun going down memory lane. And also so many years I wasn’t collecting. We didn’t have any luck with those early year cards, but still good fun. Lots of inserts and gold cards

[@BaseballCardIllustrated]

Great concept for a video. Amazing to see how Topps has changed through the years - both in design and how cards per pack have varied.

[@FonsKleijn]

This was a great idea Jabs! I miss Prince Fielder so much! Really loved to see him play and his baseballcards!

[@krazykid5885]

I only collected for 3 years, from 2015 to 2018. I’m 16 now but watching this video is surprisingly nostalgic for me.

[@queefersutherland8495]

Remember those 80s 90s packs well. I used to pick those up all the time when I was younger

[@hall-of-fame-pullers1058]

I did this with my boys a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it - especially with anybody who has kids.

[@MrHW1968]

Good video. Nice to have for reference because it’s hard to remember what every year looks like. I prefer the designs from the 1980s because that’s when I started to collect. Back then Don Mattingly was the guy.

[@CheswicksCigarettes]

YES! So happy ur doing this. Gonna get good and comfy before I watch. I'd love to make a scrapbook with all the wrappers.

[@bakaflexutube2392]

Awesome break there was no good luck but its fun to watch how they change the design year by year

[@ianoble]

So cool. We were both born in 80. This was very neat to watch.

[@threeg6966]

Very cool video, and a great idea. There were several cards in this lot that i would love to add to my own personal collection.

[@cja4642]

Awesome video as it was cool to see the designs through the years. I’m a few years older than you and 86 donruss was the first cards I can remember buying as I was looking for the Canseco rookie.

[@duwopmusic4284]

Great Channel man! Just getting back into sports card collecting as a way to bind with my grandmother who loves sports. Your channel has been very informative as I get back into the hobby!

[@diehardsportscards868]

That Paul konerko awsome...he signed a broken batting practice bat for me that same year..spring training 95''......wow.awsome man

[@charlescarnahan225]

I was the same as you graduated 99. First cards were 89 topps loved 90 topps first set 91 topps. Didn't recognize to much after 94 topps until 2018. Crazy how it felt like I collected forever back then though

[@williedavis1980]

This was an amazing opening and an amazing trip down memory lane thank you so much for posting this this was cool for me this afternoon.

[@1976trav]

1986 Topps was the year I collected.For some weird reason Johnnie LeMaster took me months to get.I met Andy Van Skype at an old timer game here in Myrtle Beach.Tekulve,Parker and Tug McGraw.Thank You Erik.Happy Easter man.Stay safe😃🏟⚾🎸🌞

Erik what a great video buddy. Great walk down memory lane. Thanks so much.

[@JAWS1376]

I was a Topps guy until I think it was 1992. then the shiny, wet, looking Fleer Ultra took over. Man, great memories buying those packs back in the day. Always loved the 2003 Topps cards too. It's a shame they stick together. Sometimes I think about buying some of those late 80's early 90's topps...just worried about repacks.

[@jeffreya-bomb7313]

I was born in 1980 as well and my first pack was a 1987 Topps Sportflics pack from a local 07-11. Good memories from that era!

[@montrealsports29]

Topps didn't produce Sportflics cards. They were made by Major League Marketing, Inc.

[@zackphy]

I just got back into the hobby and this video just made me realize I may be sitting on some good cards. Me and my friend jumped back into the hobby in early 2012 and were buying everything we could get our hands on b4 stopping again a year or so later. That means I've got like 2 of those cardboard card holder boxes full of 2011 Topps update in my closet. Guess that means I gotta go dig them out and look for Trout cards lol.

[@KlingonCaptain]

Yes, I collected as a kid in the early 90s, and almost 30 years later I just started again. I was born in February of 83, just early enough to remember a good five years of the 80s. Lucky.

[@ryanmartin7033]

Born in June 83' Started collecting around 88 and stopped in late 90s. Keep getting these videos popping up. Can't believe the norm now is having other people open their packs. Also can't believe how much packs cost now. Don't think i will be reliving my childhood...lol

[@juanfierro7365]

Oddly enough the stores restocked those within seconds whereas there's still no toilet paper? Go figure...

[@armandoguzman6461]

Dont forget Frank Thomas was close to the triple crown that year. The expos got shipped and Tony Gwynn was about to bat 400 .

[@DFWGrapher]

This is awesome. I've been working for a while on a book that ranks every Topps flagship base set from worst to best and thought it would be cool to rip a pack for every set that I possibly could-- basically this same time frame, maybe a little ways back into the 70s.

[@anthonymcdonald3167]

That was awesome watching you open up cards from the past thank you

[@charleslabonge5543]

This was a great video Jabs, and you are right... If Kershaw retired right now he would be a Hall of Famer!

[@Barack_N0_DRAmA]

Very cool video . Nice to see the different packaging over the years . And it looks like the 80s cards hold up better then the 90s cards

[@mikestacks8201]

One of your best bought back a lot of memories. I started collecting in 86 and stopped in 94

[@GAME4WAR]

Thanks that was pretty educational. I learned about cards and myself. I had no idea what year I stopped collecting cards but by making out what year I stopped recognizing the card design I learn that it was 1994 when I turned 18 years and on the strike year that I stopped collecting cards. I had no idea that the strike year made me soo bitter. It was also educational by showing me what I missed. Can you do this again for other companies such as Donruss,Upper Deck. I remember that Topps weren't though of highly so maybe I kept collecting other companies.

[@jonbrollinsface2420]

I think it’s cool because it has most of your viewers birth year and year they got into the hobby or getting back into the hobby and it’s really cool and awesome from the junk wax era to the 2020s

[@RadJordy]

Had to see what got pulled from the pack from my birth year. Nice to see a player from my home team in there.(Although the following pack had an objectively more well known player, but still cool.) What a fun coincidence.

[@MikelineTV]

Instant Classic as you being THE first tuber to bust ALL the regular Topps packs! Regular Donruss will probably be next!

[@masonlaine7]

I really have been getting into baseball cards because of my dad and you are just making that way better I love the content and keep it up

[@GroundhogKim]

Nice video I recently found my dads old baseball card collection. He is currently on deployment on the uss truman so i bought him a bunch of vintage cards for him when he comes home i got him 5 120 card lots 2 50 card lots and a 1989 fleer complete set. Also love ur channel and ur videos

[@ftsrecords5052]

Amazing…!! This was like a History Class of Baseball Card Collecting 101.

[@dillpikle3213]

I love that the first 11 packs just have a baseball on it.

[@phillv]

cant help but wonder how many of the 80s/early 90s wax packs were already searched

[@R.D.oldring]

That Ken Griffey Jr insert card was a great hit.

[@Tfizzle1942]

Awesome setup i have not collected since the junk Era but I always watch.

[@jeremyboynton6173]

Bought this a week ago. Early wax were repacked. Actually had gum that was glued and stuck to card. Still enjoyed it and got some really nice cards from the newer packs.

Cool video. I collected from 1989 to about 1999/2000. Maybe bought a pack or 2 in 2001, and then didn’t start up again till 2012. So 2002-11 I haven’t seen as much.

[@mr.bloodvessel260]

As a kid Easter Sunday meant many packs of Baseball cards....Thank you!!

[@wilda32]

Thanks Jabs, fun video... just wish you went from 2020 back since we get so much of the recent stuff, always appreciated though!

[@SDubATC316]

That was really cool. I stopped collecting in ‘92 and didn’t start back up until last year, so I hadn’t seen many of those designs. You should do one of these for Donruss and Fleer as well. Or maybe Bowman?

[@swpags2024]

I’m pretty sure those scratch off cards in the 1992 pack are the ones you can use a flashlight under them and find the winning combos.

Thank you for putting this together for us! Loved it!

The best idea ever. Love the nostalgia oh, the very reason I sub to your Channel. Baseball card trademaster in the late 80s early 90s. I was always trading the hot water stuff for the old classics. Wish I still had them oh, that's another story.

[@travis834]

The topps 92 scratch and win cards were easy to win on. You would in a dark room and hold them over a light and you would see where to scratch and win. Then you sent those to Topps and you would get a pack of 92 Topps gold card winners. That was one of my last years collecting.

[@FirestarterBreaks]

I liked this video going back from the era I started fully collecting 1980 topps.....maybe next time do a Upper Deck through the years
