Opening a 1989 Score Football Box! Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, Troy Aikman & MORE!

[@crispee5265]

It was fun watching this rip and took me back to memory lane when I was 14 and buying 89 Score packs at the local liquor store. A lot of great players and HOFers in this set! Great rookie class too! I wished I would have bought a full sealed box at Smart and Final to have pulled a Barry Sanders. Was lucky to pull a Troy Aikman and Deion but Barry. 89 Score is a classic set! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@briancullen9575]

It’s worth pointing out to current football collectors that of the most valuable rookie cards from this classic set, only one of them is a QB and that if you had invested in rookie QBs from this draft class, you’d have lost your money. Stop valuing only QBs, it’s ruining collecting football cards.

RBs careers seem shorter these days. With the modem day NFL being a passing league, RBs have not shot at historical records.

CJ Stroud prices are ridiculous atm. QB rookie cards have been ridiculous for years now. Well, ever since Tom Brady's rc went for a crazy price, that's when things really popped off.

[@Simonlegend35]

Absolutely fantastic! I'm 44 and Barry was/is my fav player of all time! Great time capsule moment for me! Love the old product rips!

[@ChrisJ333]

We are similar age. I met Barry Sanders in a bar in Akron Ohio over Hall of Fame weekend many years ago. Quiet dude, not very tall. But still had quads of a sasquatch!

[@bodietyler519]

There's 330 cards in the complete set and 36 packs of 15 cards in each box which is 540 cards. Your gonna have duplicates. I remember opening this as a kid and If I'm not mistaken you pull around 1 Rookie per pack on average. They were not short printed. They printed the same number of Barry Sanders as they did Merrill Hoge

[@brockman562]

glad that Geoff is a Niner hater. Hoping for Niners to beat any team in their way. game vs bengals was a GREAT GAME. came down to 2 min drill by the GOAT Montana for the win. oh...by the way... SF has tons of straight people. I'm straight.

21-16 . I believe that they beat them by the same score both times. 🤔

Back To Back Sanders and Aikman...wow. Never saw that. Score planned that!

[@MaDubbs]

The back to back pull of Aikman, and Sanders was crazy. Brought back a lot of memories seeing the names of the players you opened up. I am a huge Eagles fan, and you glossed right over Keigth Jackson, Reggie White, and Jerome Brown haha

[@ChrisJ333]

I haven't bought a pack of cards since the mid to early 90s. My buddy's son just bought a few packs of cards and made me look at my collection and I found your channel. Great seeing all these old names in the packs. I got the Ricky Nattiel question right! Its a whole new world for me (47) having to learn PSA and all this stuff!

[@mrg-cardcollector6601]

The second Barry Sanders card looks pretty perfect centering. The last Deion Sanders also looks perfect!

[@billysikes1374]

The Thurman Thomas rookie was once the most expensive card in the 89 Score

“I don’t think I’ve seen Doug Flutie yet”. Doug was literally in the pack before it 😂😂😂

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Was there? LOL! Missed that one!!

[@gcxred4kat9]

I'm 57, collected as a kid, sold my collection in HS, and got back into it because of this year of Score. I think I was at Knott's Berry Farm in Cali, saw a pack of these, bought it just for the heck of it and was off and running. From what I remember, they printed a gazillion of them and the quality wasn't very good and they got overshadowed real quick by all the high quality cards that came out shortly thereafter. Star studded rookie class though! I still have the whole set and if I remember right a box or 2 of them!

[@ebaymandavid723]

That was an amazing box of card pulls! The fact that you got doubles of both Sanders, Aikman & Thomas is incredible! It makes me want to hunt down an unopened box of 89 Score and rip open! 🤘🏈

Brought back some GREAT memories seeing these Score Packs being opened. And wow....multiple Barry Sanders and Aikman

My favorite story in Bills history, Scott Norwood makes a public press conference for Bills fans after missing the Super Bowl winning field goal during the press the fans gave a standing ovation making Norwood cry out tears and gave the Bills determination❤

[@jasonboldt7450]

Back in 1994 I ought a $15 pack of these at a card shop and I had a similar pull of Barry Sanders and Troy Aikman in the same packI dont remember the rest but that was one of my favorite memories of buying packs in the 1990s.

[@muchidromedary.7368]

$1000 per box and the only way you’ll make money is to get a psa 10 Barry or multiple psa 10s of Aikman or Deion. No thanks…just spend $300 more and by the Barry on it’s own.

[@corvette72778]

You can't win if you don't play bro!

[@HailTheApocalypse]

​@@corvette72778lol there's a breaker that pretty much says the same thing. It's no fun just buying the single instead of ripping for it. But if ya don't have the money for ripping, then that's the way to go. Sometimes the price per card in a box and the odds of pulling the card you want, it's better to just buy the card you want.

[@CaptShriver]

Bernie kosar versus John elway that brings back memories. I'm a huge browns fan and the browns got so close so many times, but you know who stood in our way. The broncos.. thank you very much

[@hotjoe817]

What a drop off in price from a 10 to 9 for Barry. That’s nuts, I’m happy to hear that you cheered for buffalo, I like you more now. Lol. Go Bills!!! Josh Allen would be exciting 30-40yrs from 2018 draft class, he’s breaking records etc, hopefully a SB🤞I loved and played tecmo, born in 84

[@brockman562]

I'll never forget going to a wholesale store and buying 89 upper deck and pulling 3 ken Griffey jr cards :)

[@wesleyhodge9457]

That was a great box Geoff, you’ll have to do a follow up video and let us know if you send any of the cards off for grading and how they did.

[@raykrouse136]

Very fun to watch as I have graded a ton of from this set. PSA is very tough on giving 10's but the cards looked clean and getting (6) big-time rookies is all you can ask. It is just amazing that the Sanders PSA 10 is worth 10x the PSA 9 so it all comes down to the grader at PSA.

[@robjfoot11]

I can’t believe these are a grand for box now. Ripped these like candy back in the day.

[@te2edgesportscards177]

What a fun rip! I ripped three boxes of these last Fall/Winter and had a blast. Happy you pulled Sanders, Deion, and Troy!

[@8144hike]

The same happened with me. Sanders and Aikman B2B. It was back in 1991. I still remember.

[@WIBLUECREW]

So hard to get a PSA 10 on these cards because PSA notoriously grades these low. Love to see you get them graded and see what you get for grades.

[@bodietyler519]

It's called pop control. Another reason I despise PSA. Irregardless I think Geoff has enough horsepower at PSA where they will be graded accurately rather they rightfully deserve a 10 or not.

[@Comicbookyoutubersrock]

These are the best vids bar none. The round table segments are ok, but these rock!

1989 was so cool for football cards because Score and ProSet were both new. I was more pumped for the ProSet rookies because they were in their college unis, which was new back then.

[@kyezek524]

Yeah and unfortunately Proset isn't worth much. I think the rookies look better than Score too.

[@Tofasttodrive]

Back in the 90s I got into cards but lost them all in a Fire and I have not gotten back into tham since i was so hard broken. But I love watching your videos of you crack in boxes. It was one of my favorite things to do. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏

[@Nothingface2011]

This is the best return I've seen to date from opening a 89 score footbal box and even so pretty sure he still didn't break even. If you can afford it enjoy, but if you're looking to profit find another avenue. I still enjoyed the video. Just saying this because you knowing grading value as you do still decided to value cards at psa 10 values instead of the actual grades the were

[@apolloark9282]

I love that set. Bought a lot of those packs when I was a kid.

As if now it's only Farve Manning and Warner but you will have many more as they retire or thei five years is up Brady Brees Rodgers possibly Eli and Rivers. I personally think Drew Bledsoe should be in as well. But I get where your coming from and agree too much emphasis is placed in qbs especially in the card market.
