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.

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 😢

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@Rob-eo5ql]

1977 Topps were the best! Ron LeFlore (all-star), Rusty Staub (all-star), Mark Fidrych.

[@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

[@garylafave1421]

Awesome Nolan Ryan Card!

[@aranaboys1637]

awesome nolan ryan!! great throwback thursday!!

[@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.

[@jeffrecob8646]

The stamp inside box also says "order supplies online" people in 1978 didn't know wtf online meant in 1978. I was a senior in high school then. How is this inside an unopened box of baseball cards from 1978? Am I wrong. I have a box from 1979 and it doesn't say anything like that on it anywhere.

[@ChemStudent-bl8ei]

The Internet didn't go public until 1993

[@Final50Meters]

These look in great condition and remembered getting this set taken up in class during grade school. GREAT VIDEO!

[@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

[@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. 😊

[@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

[@mickeywilgus3641]

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

[@ModeratelyAmused]

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

[@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 😀

[@patrickmead4439]

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

[@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.

[@smichaels10]

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

[@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

[@kirmack]

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

[@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.

[@michaelreilly2912]

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

[@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.

[@inzombgaming]

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

[@hinmanhouse]

That was a great set. Nice Ryan pull!

[@iamchriscarlson]

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

[@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.

[@GClooney17]

Great video I had 82 Topps cards 1954 PSA 8 sad to say lost my job had to sale. This was 5 years ago,I wish still had them. Well that’s life.

[@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!

[@murrayvassar625]

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

[@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

[@garylee3893]

Man. That was fun Jabs. I know 4yrs old , hadn't seen this one. Thx. Rainy Sunday fun. Lol

[@oriolesfan108]

Great to see that you actually got one of the big cards in this one

[@areguapiri]

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

[@Yorty_Wan]

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

[@Excelsior_Real_Deal_Picker]

Really enjoyed this video, how the video is done, your explanations. really brought back some memories. Collected mainly in the 1970’s, but things happen sold off my collection, if I only knew then what I know now, there might have been a few great cards I had, considering I had around 50,000+ cards, only if we could go back in time, lol. I’m sure I had a few high $$$ cards. This was probably the last year I bought cards. Makes me want to get back into collecting again.

[@Bable012]

Oh man, thats a beautiful Nolan Ryan!

[@paulieslim]

cello packs are the way to go! Those cards look really nice for being over 40 years old!

[@Totoman1]

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

[@Eltortuga69]

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

[@nxpubxvicxn8307]

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

[@SatInThePark541]

Brought back memories of the old days for me. I can still remember being 9 years old opening 1965 packs. Thanks Erik for the memories, great open.

[@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

[@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!

[@RustyShavlefordlll]

Love the love for Robin Yount

[@johnlevalley521]

Brings back a lot of great childhood memories.

[@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.

[@bubbagainey4439]

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

[@TripleBAdventures]

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

[@CmdrGates]

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

[@sodorflubbs5000]

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

[@ihatenamestoo]

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

[@zhor17]

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

[@biohazardbadgerscardscolle5956]

Great Vid! Love Throwback Thursdays.

[@josefnitervol6415]

I love these when I was a kid! we would look through the box for a star.

[@whall6496]

Fantastic TBT! Thank you!

[@boomslang024]

always great to see the older cards.

[@tomlangley6236]

PETE ROSE FOR THE HALL OF FAME!!!! ITS TIME!!!!

[@JeremyAsh-x1b]

You just scared the lights out of me, lol good nolan ryan

[@tomadey6534]

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

[@octaviusgreen]

Fun break. Lots of info. Dang gum!

[@josephlombardo16]

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

[@jaredwylie4107]

Love old Topps sets!

[@georgehalas1326]

Love the old cards! Very cool

[@brucedavis8147]

I used to have this complete set, In 1984 I bought a few Topps variety cello packs from a K Mart, the ones that come in a strip of 3 packs, when I opened pack 2 there was a probably PSA 7 or so 1962 Willie Mays, the year with the wood borders, being 84 it was only 22 years old and not worth anywhere near what it is now and I had a friend who ended up opening a card store in our town with his dad, he offered me a 78 Topps set still in the wrapper for it and I agreed lol, I kick myself to this day

[@mo_rhec6293]

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

[@joshl9168]

These cello packs were examined by the original owner who put in the USPS cardboard piece. I knew early on that the cello box was practically worthless. Experienced collectors can estimate what cards are in cellos since Topps sorting was predictable.

[@jeffkwak2190]

I just left that comment too, no response from anyone??? And that company who supplied/sold the box put a "security" seal on the box 🙄

[@florenciop825]

Great Throw Back Thursday Break. Lot of Hall of Famers

[@bobbenbrown123]

I was only four years old when this set came out. Started collecting around 1984

[@keithrichter1572]

Great break! I love old cards.

[@v1p3rx]

wow awesome pulls love the throwbacks

[@daltonmedley1555]

Nice break and this is the first time I have seen somebody do a 70s box keep it up

[@kregfamily]

Love your enthusiasm! Keep it up!

[@VincentPriceknives]

Love all these old cards.

[@ckyle42]

Nice! Really enjoyed the old cards in the Thursday Throwbacks. The Nolan Ryan pull was sweet at the end!!

[@bofletcher3212]

Any update on the Ryan card? Was it graded?

[@rs4779]

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

[@scottnovak5298]

Love throwback Thursday!!

[@jomehi6863]

Really enjoyed seeing this break.

[@gamblingguru2235]

I wish mlb cards were still like this :/

[@dennisflanagan7599]

Best throwback so far!

[@mikefaulkner9627]

Those cards look so good and clean, 40 year old brand new card .nice

[@ReindeerStudios]

Super cool! These are almost as old as me -- but in much better shape. :D

[@honebeadsmith5937]

$8 in 1978 was worth about $31+ in 2019 dollars. Was super cool to see the Ryan right towards the end. Good stuff.

[@BallcardzTV]

Love these old boxes! Great job!

[@HobbyHound]

This is the oddest suggestion for you. I had thought I had watched all of your videos and then this pops up and surprises me. Great RIP> Little known fact, Tom Hume's mom had the same reaction when he was born. "awww thought we had something good." 😂

[@Neufutur]

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

[@PrestonSports]

Love Throwback Thursdays!

[@tomdonegan5350]

It’s incredible you got this!! Great video!

[@cameronrangan764]

I love the old boxes from the 70s

[@jonathanedwards4472]

Love these throwbacks !!!

[@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.

[@lennegilzow]

The back of the Ryan is off center. It's still beautiful though.

[@machinegunjackmcgurn804]

Guessing the Ryan comes back as an 8.

[@21HESSLER]

Throwbacks are always so interesting

[@sorenorm1]

Awesome cards from my childhood!

[@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

[@ronaldsmith8402]

Hello it's me Ronnie Earl I enjoy watching this cool

[@BarlowBrigade]

Erik...cannot say it enough....you are the man..!!! Big Jim

[@CharlesJohn]

Great box opening! Thanks

[@billybravesbamafan8678]

Another awesome break. Love your videos!
