[@jeremyboynton6173]

Andre was the NL MVP in 1987 after accepting a 500K contract from the Cubs. This was at the height of the collusion scandal with the owners trying to keep player salaries low by all agreeing not to make offers to other teams' free agents. It's why Carlton Fisk and many others were forced to accept less with their current teams at the time. Also, Fielder hit 51 homeruns in 1990 after spending the 1989 season playing in Japan, the signing with the Tigers. Another cool coincidence that both he and his son both finished their careers with 318 career homers each.

[@matthewsimpson1268]

Great video! 1987 O Pee Chee was the first set I ever collected and got me into baseball card collecting as a 12 year old. After a while, I learned that many Canadian kids viewed O Pee Chee as a knock-off brand. It was a big thing to pick up Topps cards on trips to the US, which is probably why I’m still a Topps purist today. I had 2 Barry Bonds cards in my childhood collection that I got graded and sold a couple years ago (a PSA 5 & 6 I believe, so I didn’t get rich 😞). O Pee Chee had better photo quality but worse production controls, making 10s super rare. Also, Barry Bonds was not a hit card. No one had heard of him. I didn’t even put them in the penny savers I reserved for the best cards.

[@JQM78]

This is definitely a walk down memory lane for me. I ripped a lot of it, but also my dad and I bought every factory set from 1986 topps until 1992 lol

I've ripped several boxes of 87 OPC. Back when you could get cards graded for a few bucks it made sense to rip rarer wax. I loved OPC and leaf. 85 leaf was my favorite set.

[@ejd715]

in 1987, i was 9 years old. Our family went to Waterton Lakes national park just across the Montana border from Glacier NP. there was a little convenience store in town that had 1987 O-Pee Chee and i bought a few packs. I remember pulling an Andre Dawson.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane with this set. These were one of the first sets of cards I collected at 8 years old. Loved this design and most of mine were opeechee. Still have the Bonds, Will Clark and many more but definitely not in near mint condition.

[@danhallas3546]

Lol I pulled down and old box of cards I had for my kid to look at and I just happened to grab a handful (maybe 50 cards) just to look thru them and pulled out the bonds and McGuire from this year and had a Deion Sanders baseball rookie a Bernie Williams rookie and a few other random rookies. I couldn’t believe that’s what I pulled out on my first grab 🤦‍♂️

[@relicman]

I always liked the 87 topps. I would always buy lots of cards at the flea market as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s.

[@ebaymandavid723]

I’ve opened up tons of 1987 Topps, but never any Opeechee. Congrats of securing a Bonds. Cecil Fielder wasn’t great w/ the Jays, but once he was w/ the Tigers, he was a home run beast in the early 90s hitting an average of 40-50 home runs in a row!

Thanks for the fun rip Geoff, glad you pulled the barry lamar bonds, did not know 87 topps opeechee went for that much...I worked at a card shop back in 1989 and remember the boss carry in a case of 89 upper deck, what great times.

They don't go for that it's called market manipulation

Not only are Tim Raines and Andre Dawson great players from that era, but they are among the greatest players of all time. The accomplishments of both have been recognized by enshrining them in the baseball Hall of Fame.

Jeff, the easiest way to tell difference is the glossy, bright back of the cards compared to Topps dull backs

i couldn't help but laugh when you tried to cover up the ripped edges of the Bonds card with your thumbs. It reminded me of the times I use to "doctor" up cards for my dad to sell at full price at card shows. It was a great time to be sleazy. Never met a card dealer that I liked.

[@mikebentley1921]

YOUR SO RIGHT ON THE STATS ON THE BACK ! SAME AGE AS YOU GEOFF I USED ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE BACK . LOVE THAT BRETT

[@laudanum669]

I miss the backs of the old cards where it would tell you a little something about the player. Like "Bill likes to hunt in the off season" or "Dale raises chickens". Also the baseball game that you could play where each card had singles, doubles, homeruns strike outs, etc on the back.

[@irvingog1790]

this is soo true, even if i did just become a hoarder of card ive noticed that 1990s football also has like comments from trainers, like “ he has a great running game but he lacks the ability to catch the ball, he will be working on it this offseason”

[@tvandehaar2]

Just watched this video and immediately went at looked at my Bonds “section” of binders. I’ll have to look through the rest for OPC to see if there are any other valuable players. BOOM, I’ve got a Topps and an OPC both raw. Gonna look into selling it

[@Firecracker321g]

The year and set that i started with (well the set me and my dad collected the most) was 1989 Upper Deck low series. Oh and also i think 1990/91 (if I remember right) Leaf. Chasing the big hurt, Frank Thomas

[@4TheGame2016]

Dunston just became one of the Cubs #’S retired this past yr. Was a blast to watch with that arm

[@258cac]

Fun 🤩 to open these! People that are newer to the hobby should know that your chances of finding a GEM Bonds are extremely low, that’s why there are only POP 38 of the O-Pee-Chee vs. 1,597 of the Topps version. Most coming out of packs have centering and edge issues that will get you a PSA 7 or 8.

[@carolinatarheels7903]

And yet morons keep spending $300 a box trying to pull it and end up with a $40 base set. Seems about right for this channel.

[@ObsessedCollector]

Yeah OPeeChee used HORRIBLE roll cut blades. Too many rough edges

[@scotthoverman]

Ouch, that’s a bummer the Bonds has those weird gouge indents along the sides (in addition to the off centering). I think it was the only one in the box with them. Ironic. Fun rip, though!

[@Gideon1723]

Crazy box of cards

[@jimlewis5477]

I opened lots and lots of 1987 Donruss. Greg Maddux Rookie cards was what I wanted. I built lots of sets. There is a Canadian version of this card as well.

[@wayneburbrink1215]

I happened on to almost every opc baseball set ,my favorite is the 1980 with Nolan Ryan , almost always ruff cut though

[@RobinASmith138]

We loved the stats too and RBI Baseball was great the Cardinals were one of the best with all the speed and with Jack Clark too and also Minnesota was good in that game, we played it a ton!

[@johnxgalt8312]

Beware of the hype!! Chances of getting a PSA 10 of this card is slim to nothing. Getting $10000 for it is probably zilch.

[@buffalobill9793]

This video will have me scrambling through old boxes for a while. I opened quote a bit of this opee-chee product. Back then the Topps version was worth more. They did the same with hockey cards and opee-chee was worth more for hockey but Topps was more valuable in baseball. We didnt really get much choice up here in Canada. Opee-Chee ruled the roost pre 1990 north of the border. I didnt realize the Topps/Opee-Chee values have been turned upsidedown in the last 35 years. I dont know if I have any Barry Bonds or not but I know I have a few boxes worth of these cards somewhere to find.

[@beckpemberton4455]

I somehow remember from over 30 years ago that Cecil hit exactly 51 HRs in 1990. I don’t know whether that’s impressive or embarrassing. My wife will surely tell me, though. Great vid and congrats on the pulls!

[@christinker8258]

PSA 10 is always a hard grade to get in O-Pee-Chee because they were hard to get with clean edges. This seemed to be the case with all years of the O-Pee-Chee. For some reason, they just didn't cut very well. You can definitely see that with the Bonds card. It's like the blades were dull. They are not super rare, just super rare to get in a 10.

[@brianbills6382]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but noticed at 14:20, Cecilio card, contained an error. He's wearing a Pirates uniform with a Yankees logo on the card?

Hey. I just noticed, as you go through the cards, I’m noticing some reasonable color differences in the borders of each card. I remember seeing this back when I used to open them, when value and grading didn’t really matter to me. But now, how are cards graded if they don’t match the exact, correct color?.?
