Dale Murphy should be in the hall. He is Mark McGuire without steroids. The guy didnt cheat....and he was more than GREAT

[@jefflaumann5602]

True but he didn’t do it long enough

[@ListenWell]

Agreed!

[@ericclinton8186]

When you don't lengthen your career with roids, hgh, etc.; you are doing it right.

[@rockscousteau]

@@ericclinton8186 Yea. Old Murph seems like a class act of a guy too

[@rockscousteau]

He was by FAR my favorite player as a kid. The dude was a BEAST for a while in the 80's

[@tylerroessel9856]

Reliving my childhood, much appreciated!

[@MKYeahBuddy]

My memories were from 1987, saving up $15, and buying a whole box of ‘87 Topps packs!! I’d try and save them. Open 4-5 packs and I’d last about an hour and then there’d be a stack of cards, bedroom floor covered in wax wrappers, and a sore jaw from all the gum and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Cards were better. Compile a set, trade w friends. Didn’t have to spend $100 for a few packs. Our idea of an auto was taking a stack to Three Rivers and getting them signed, interacting w your hero’s. It was simpler and more face to face

[@bob8776]

Eddie Harris, manager Lou Brown, Willie Mays Hayes, and of course Bob Uecker are the best characters in Major League. I used to watch that movie with my grandma all the time. She was the biggest baseball fan I've ever known. She loved the two Asian groundskeepers

[@joelb.2685]

You went right over the 1979 Topps Bump Wills Blue Jays card. Back in the day that was the 2nd most expensive card in the set after only the Bump Wills Rangers card.

[@deronsworld1783]

A bit of older collector knowledge for the younger collectors not old enough to collect in the early 1980s...The blue wrapper 1981 Donruss were sold in fun bags at discount five-and-dime type stores for several years and a mix of years within a pack is possible. That is why there was a 1982 Donruss Babe Ruth puzzle card in the pack opened here.

[@JordanRCcom]

I remember the "Fun Bags" but have not heard about the possibility for mixed years within a pack. Were they 3rd party repacks?

[@WaveofCards]

That's interesting. I totally missed there being no gum in that pack and puzzle piece until you mentioned it!

[@TheHobbyist_76]

I noticed there was no gum and thought it was weird thanks for the explaining it.

[@TheMooreDa]

Love the Bump Wills error card. Been looking for that one.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

7:44 I'm on a mission to find out where John Johnson gets his hair done 😂

[@ericgerber4099]

At 12:31 you get the Bump Wills error. That card was a big deal in my house. I think the corrected version is more rare.

[@soonercowboy8600]

Yeah I can't believe he just went right by it. I had both.

[@nealarnett4300]

Great video!! Love older cards. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!

[@oldaccount6297]

What a way to start the day!

[@dominiccampbell1989]

Another great video! Erik I got my November and December patreon cards today. I never even worry about it you always come through. Keep up the great work. Thank you!

[@noahf342]

any time I see a pack of 1982 topps being opened, I sigh and reminisce about my childhood!

[@JStried35]

I'm amazed how many '81 Donruss National League card photos came from Wrigley Field.

[@rodwhite9737]

That was fun, Erik. I love the older card rips. Especially when they're in such great shape. Too bad there was nothing to get excited about. I love your reactions when you rip something amazing. Have a good Christmas and New Year. I wish you all the best for you and your family.

[@josephlombardo16]

Nice pack ripping. Disappointing no big RC hits! But still fun to rip packs. Thanks for sharing!

[@nathanduysen9094]

Any Royals fans out there saw the Paul Splittorff card for sure. 👏

[@chrisshockey8883]

That "bubble" on the Carlton Fisk card @ 7:21 is called an "ink hickey". A small piece of dried ink on the plate or blanket producing a bad image

[@richlewis1879]

The upper deck pack for me is so nostalgic! Those were my years!!!!! 😢😢😢

[@kevinjones9685]

Bump Wills Error. Nice

[@SPICY_BEAR]

Nice '84 Cal Ripken! Mike Schmidt! Don Sutton, and Tom Seaver all in one pack! Sweet. '82 Topps is awesome! I love the clean, stripey design with different colors and bold lettering for the player names, that was one of the best 80's designs IMO. Reggie Jackson! 😎

[@ralphdeep9029]

BACK....BACK...BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND NOTHING HURT LOL

[@ernestcruz6316]

Shoulda coulda woulda story: If I'd have known what kind of career he was gonna put together, I'd have kept the Eddie Murray duplicates I had in 1978. That was the last year I put together complete sets by buying individual packs. I had 5 of the damn things. At one point he, Mike Lum, Stan Bahnsen and Woodie Fryman were real nuisances to me because it seemed like I got one of them in every pack. After a while I didn't see any more Murray rookies, but the other three continued to bedevil me, and the Murray was replaced by Bill Fahey, Brent Strom and Randy Elliott cards. Wish I'd kept those Murrays.

[@411NOW]

Hang in there sir. Seen your other start-stop vid on your personal family issue. LIFE GOES ON!

[@chadhopkins8508]

Fun RIP Erik. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@richardgrant987]

Go easy on the wrappers

[@ryanstonebraker9484]

Merry Christmas! Sorry you have a lot going on. Opening cards from this era is fun, I like to see the photography on them. It's neat to see the progression of photography and seeing the state of the art camera's of the 1980's, lol.

[@gregyoung7310]

Blew right by the Bump Wills Blue Jays error card without a mention?!?

[@ObsessedCollector]

I was about to say the same thing! Had to check the comments 1st. Centered so nicely too. Wish I had that Bump! One of 17 cards I need to finish my 79 set

[@nathanclaflin4352]

Gaylord perry's manager said their will be men o the moon before Gaylord perry hits a home run, the 2 feats happend on the smae day just hours apart.

[@TonySchulte]

Wish there was some 83 topps packs. That's the 1st packs I bought & it would have been really nostalgic to see some of those opened

[@TheRmm1976]

That was fun to watch but I'm glad you didn't purchase those packs... Maybe $10 value out of $200 in packs!

[@drewbravo7432]

Jabs, are u saying that an 81 Dunruss FOTL box can have 10-15 Tim Raines? Has that happened with another box other than yours, that you know of? Just wondering.

[@Potent_Potables]

Thanks Erik. You're the best!

[@gusgravel100]

I noticed most of those 81 donruss cards pictures were in Wrigley and old comiskey

[@augien.6865]

Nice Eddie Murray and Rick Dempsey

[@dbone-KB2LWO]

Great video. Hope you and your children and have blessed Christmas. Keep your chin up

[@Rick-hh7wt]

Ever since I was younger and bought 84 topps packs and see Luis Salazar it was a sign that Mattingly was coming a few cards down. He's usually after Broderick Perkins BUT Jim Gantner "mysteriously" showed up in between of Perkins and Ripken. Should have been Donnie....

[@JordanRCcom]

I have tried to use Ripken as an indicator for Mattingly but it has not worked out so far in the few racks and cellos i tried.

[@Rick-hh7wt]

@@JordanRCcom Not if you see him on front. But if you see his card on back perhaps bc he's after Mattingly...

[@macofalltrades6396]

Hope you can figure out a reasonably happy Christmas after all the shit that's gone down. I know it's been tough. Keep doing what you have to do.

[@JaWeber22]

I love the videos but think you should worry about the family. If your selling your complete collection. Dedicate this time to your kids bro. Cardboard and Crads mean nothing!

[@JabsFamily]

Thank you Jeffrey. I make the videos when I don’t have my kids and they are with their mom.

[@bbrochesterny7194]

Maybe he's doin this to get his mind off his wife

[@pdshaw]

You can try a few different ways to get old gum off of cards. The one that worked best for me was putting the card in the freezer for a few hours, then slowly pulling it off. Not 100% success rate, but it can work! Love the videos!

[@octaviusgreen]

Next mix of packs! Nettles nice. Murphy should be in hof.

[@CalicoKitty03]

Great video, looking forward to more content.

[@CrazyLG72]

You got the Bump Wills error card..it says the Blue jays..idk how much its worth though

[@ctcards2636]

81 Donruss it seems the Jim Kaat card is in the same pack as the Raines rookie.

[@mainahseyephotography1519]

The 79 Bump Wills. Was an error. Says bluejays not rangers. Nice pull

[@ericgerber4099]

Thanks Eric W!

[@brianliddle2197]

The guy who did the show business with the ball when he pitched was Al Hrabrosky, you have his card in 1978 topps

[@johnodonnell2798]

Thanks for the videos that you have made this year. More importantly you will get through this bump in Your road, because ALL good people like yourself always DO!!

[@zeldafreak1975]

Have a good holiday, jabs. All the best my man.

[@williamsumrall7333]

Looks like the counterfeit cards from overseas. The size of the hologram stickers in the upper deck pack was undersized

[@shawnoneal8646]

Good to hear you. on the back of the Donruss they put a picture of the exact piece of bubblegum I got from my barber after a haircut but there was no bubble gum in the packs I think you told me once tops had the rights to that. I always trust in your accuracy. Shawn in Kansas

[@wpreston86]

12:20 You forgot to mention the famous 1979 Topps Bump Wills error.

[@shawnlove2603]

One pack had gum stain on back of card but no gum

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

Wax

[@Alex-mn3qw]

Anyone know something about the 1990 upper deck ken griffey jr. card ? I just pulled one from a pack. Seems to be the missed spelled

[@georgedepalma4659]

8:16 When you pulled the Tug McGraw card, you forgot to mention the fact that his son is country singer Tim McGraw. You must ALWAYS mention this when opening 1980s packs and pull a Tug McGraw. This video feels incomplete without this.

[@rjcollectssets1839]

Merry Christmas from a big Schmidt fan!

[@seabasscardsandcomics4264]

Cool packs!

[@johnmoore4422]

81 Gary carter he was yoked!!

Eddie Harris is the pitcher in major league. Merry Christmas!

[@hunterbuescher4107]

Love that Dante bichette rookie cArd from 1989 upper deck

[@tdsportscards]

Wasn't bad...that Ryan/Johnson card actually has some value in psa

[@ListenWell]

You’ve been on my mind. Hope all is well.

[@angelocampanella4357]

Hope things will turn around for you..hang in there buddy...u got more hofers in that donruss 1981 pack then in that whole box u had

[@randalgraves4919]

didn't the 81 donruss have gum not puzzle pieces

[@altitude1171]

Jabs video

[@DavidSilva-yd5zz]

How are you doing? Hope you are doing better.

[@robertanderson2898]

Ted Simmons is most deserving, even though he just compiled his numbers and wasn't really great, like Baines and many others, but he did have lots of good years. At the end of the Dave Parker documentary on MLB Network it said 2 players were voted in by the Modern Day Committee...... I'm hoping the other one was Lou Whitaker.

[@stevewyche5232]

Where are you buying these packs??

[@dileepanganesan442]

merry xmas erik! fun packs!

[@racingfanz4762]

says it is packs from 1978-1984. Starts with a 1989 pack.

[@jgarrison1309]

You have a classic error card at 12:19 ... a Bump Wills Blue Jays card. Not rare, essentially a well known error card, one often used as an example to young collectors who might be interested in them.

[@Larryjo194]

Did they remove your I am getting a divorce video? Because I can sympathize. Something like that happened to me. And my Ex-wife took the kids and within 2 months I was ordered by my commander to sign the form to let her take my 2 daughters overseas. Everytime I went to my house I would feel the kids and almost hear them. Couldn't stop crying when I tried to return it to the air force. Stay tough brother. Having a good lawyer is great and you don't have to worry about being ordered, like militaryguys and gals. Love watching your videos. Everything works out in the end. No matter what. Take care and Merry Christmas. God Bless.

[@nickpappas5399]

I was looking for that divorce video....maybe he took it down

[@Larryjo194]

@@nickpappas5399 Maybe his wife's lawyer got involved. That is very likely.

Been saving that one. I think it’s about time we open it! Thanks man.

[@anthonye.2553]

Jabs Family No worries man. Sorry to hear about everything. FYI the guy I bought that box from I bought a 92 Bowman box and found the Rivera rookie, Ramirez, etc in there. So the boxes definitely weren’t searched 🙂 Hope you find good stuff in there.
