Love how you always give Will Clark his respect! Cheers to you brotha!

[@jackadams3587]

I use to mimic Gary Sheffields batting stance all the time when we played backyard baseball growing up.

[@HoonAgain]

Jack Adams haha same he was a stud and that stance worked like magic I swear!

[@albertwesker2283]

Same I loved his stance

[@TheJankmaster]

His birthday is coming up.

[@jasonsluder5491]

LOL! Same

[@MoneGetsIt]

The Tim Wallach collector is still going strong! He has a website where he asks you to send him your Tim Wallach cards. Looks like he has 24,854 of them.

[@HoonAgain]

Mone he’s going to have a movie made about him one day u watch. Or a bit on ESPN. He needs to meet Wallach. I’m fascinated as to why. So many questions!!

[@pepsimax6671]

i wonder if i could do that with mike trout?

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

@@HoonAgain Lol I would like to know the answer to those questions too. Let's all try to find the guy haha.

[@WaveofCards]

You have the Ripken FF story wrong also. It was absolutely his bat and he admitted to writing it on there.

[@WaveofCards]

Um, you blew right by error cards and possible errors. Kevin Romine was an error card (not him pictured). Brookens and Heath might've been wrong backs but you didn't turn them over. Treadway might've been but you went so fast by him I couldn't tell if crosshair was there (I don't think so though).

[@rnobreaks4579]

I always liked this set. When I was young we went to Cape Cod on vacation and found a hobby store that had boxes of 88, 89 and 90 fleer and we bought them all. Great memories😅

[@baltimorememories3582]

Just watched Baltimore Box Breakers 89 Fleer vid, then your brothers 89 Fleer vid and now this. I guess it a Fleer-a-thon tonight. One way to pass the time while being quarantined. Thanks for the entertainment as always.

[@schwartzm3]

I agree with your ranking of the chosen players. I began collecting a couple of years prior to 1989, but began heavily buying packs and getting more in depth with card collecting in 1989. My favorite memories was saving my lunch money and allowance to buy boxes of Fleer and Topps, and then when i would get larger amounts of money like birthdays, i would get a box of Upperdeck. I was all about the Griffey Jr CRAZE back then. I love the throwback Thursdays, very reminiscent of my childhood collecting years. Its your box breaks that has gotten me back into collecting and like you, am an older collector now, but love busting packs open.

[@threefortytwo23]

On this episode of "I used to hate that guy for no reason whatsoever" haha enjoyed the throwback thanks for the box break!

[@nostalgic80sguy27]

Oh the memories. I still have all those stickers plastered to my baseball card albums.

[@HoonAgain]

nostalgic 80's guy same!

[@mikek8718]

I bought a ton of these boxes as a kid! Thanks Erik. Good memories. I enjoyed that!!

[@scorpiog9467]

Hi god bless have a good one.

[@mike8732]

One of my favorite products to bust. Always enjoy searching for the rookies, the FF, and the Johnson Marlboro variation. A lot of fun for a good price!

[@chadhopkins8508]

Great TBT Erik. All the rookies werw3 awesome to see. Thanks for doing this.

[@hunterbuescher4107]

1989 fleer was a really good set and a have every single top rookie that you found tonight

[@phildearman1824]

I love '89 fleer. Awesome memories of my childhood. Love your videos

[@shoeboxbaseball9678]

I opened 2 of these boxes a while ago. I got every card except the Griffey. The Johnson and The Ripken had uncorrected errors.

[@rickroberts7611]

Bro I got 15 of them boxes I'm looking thru right now

[@yom2]

I honestly don't watch baseball nor collect cards but I find your videos interesting because you only point out good cards and not every single one

[@montrealsports29]

You were pronouncing Bryn Smith's name correctly because it sounds like "Brin," not "Brian."

[@John_Locke_108]

You could retire with all of those cards? Right? That's what I was led to believe growing up in the 80's.

[@walterdudedonny]

I thought that too! Although my grandpa always told me I'd be wiping my rear end with them in the future! Not quite there yet, lol. But my collection spans 79 to 90, way overproduced.

[@jrdavis9578]

Love the brief but accurate comment on Brady Anderson

[@TheRmm1976]

GREAT box. You got pretty much every good RC and HoFer!

[@rzrbckfn11]

I like it we all bought all we could trying to find the Ripken card.

[@LateNiteBreaks]

I like you putting Craig Biggio in front of Smoltz, he really stuck it to us in the 90's. I met his wife and he walked through my store that I was working at few years back but I didn't get the time to talk to him.

[@keithatkins2997]

I always try to pick up rookie Biggio card when I find them.

[@brittsbit8847]

Like the fleet '89,Better than some of there earlier sets! Good to see a vid!

[@zeldafreak1975]

What's up jabs!! 89 fleer is a good set.

[@HoonAgain]

John Paul he didn’t care much for it but that’s ok I loved it. I thought the look was sure better than that white ‘88. And I was living in Washington before the ‘89 year so I wanted the Griffey and Johnson rookies. And I liked the stickers cuz I hated that old shitty gum other packs had!! Lol

[@joescardsandtoys5157]

Last year I found a baseball card vending machine at an indoor flea. I bought 1 pack of 89 fleer and got the Billy Ripken F Face card. It was too sweet !

[@johnscards4633]

89 and 90 Upper Deck were my favorite

[@HoonAgain]

John's Cards instant classics

[@brianrambo6917]

I was told by my local hobby shop guy that the Billy Ripken is found mostly in the cello packs.

[@HoonAgain]

Brian Rambo that’s good to know thank you!

[@walterdudedonny]

Of course the local guy happens to have the 89 fleer cello packs for you to buy I assume?

[@brianrambo6917]

walterdudedonny lol believe it or not it was the opposite. He had a regular wax box for I think 25 bucks, and I was going to buy it to try to find a Ripken. He said from his experience that you typically only find them in cello packs. Incredibly honest dude, and he’s had his shop in Quakertown PA forever. Shout out to Randy’s Sports Cards!

[@jayhadley3618]

Great throwback. I did like this and 88 Fleer design. Then it turned for the worst in 90 and 91.

[@brandonschultz6864]

Really enjoy throwbacks. It would be cool if you did some random boxes from the 2000s when I was heavily collecting. Topps bazooka or total anything cheaper but not flagship sets would be fun to see again. Keep it up

[@theodorethompson9032]

spray adhesive for the stickers

[@sharonvachal7769]

my husband had a shop in the 80-90's . We are finally digging out of storage boxes, cases of stock. How can we tell if the case or box was an error run?

[@donaldashbaugh5003]

Back in 89, i bought 5 boxes before the recall. Ended up with 4 FF cards. Sold them for some good cash

[@Relax_and_meditate937]

I have 2 production cards with no back printed on them. Not sure what they are worth

[@1survivor566]

Gary Sheffield was one of my favorite players when I was a kid

[@HoonAgain]

1 Survivor ditto

[@waltercopus1485]

The 89 Fleer with blue backs were the glossy. Always thought I had one till I sent it in to be graded. I'm still upset.

[@chrisamandaunkart6750]

We will be opening one next week, but I have a question, are you left handed?

[@JabsFamily]

I am right handed but apparently I shuffle the cards like a lefty would.

[@dmm5159]

Nice. Don't always get all the rookies in a box. I don't mind this set honestly. Some good RCs and errors and it's not expensive usually

[@JAWS1376]

Mookie Wilson! yes!

[@capecoralmattress9623]

i am looking for a graded(prefer PSA but not necessary) FF Card. I have shopped ebay and flee markets. What is a fair price to pay for one graded 9 to 10? I have seen them upwards of $300 and as low as about $60.

[@jessecorrales3972]

Hey everyone, how do you know what box codes to look for when hunting for Ripken FF card? Seems like the black box version came after certain box codes? Can someone provide a link or info to explain box codes so I know what to look for? Thanks all! 👍

[@rickroberts7611]

I got the Ripken with the black box and the Randy Johnson blacked out

[@waltberger7885]

Mike Heath card may have a different players stats on the back.

[@sirtonymontana83]

Fleer 89 is not my favorite, but it's still wayyyy better than 90, 91 & 92 fleer

[@jamesvermeulen9714]

As a lifelong O's fan, this card was the early white whale of my collecting career. I finally got one a few months back off Ebay, and lo and behold, Billy is coming to a local bookstore next week to sign his new release. I plan on seeing if I can get him to sign it

[@walterdudedonny]

He is a writer? What does he write?

Is there a way to tell if the box contains a chance at the Ripken FF card?

[@tlcards1894]

Thanks for the video!! Subscribed your cool channel. I see a lot of 2020 topps baseball series 1 tin box at walmart. Is this buy or stay away product?

[@KarlToona]

On my way to AZ for ST right now. 🙏🏻

[@HoonAgain]

Karl Toona lucky dog. I love it there for ST. I have nothing but the best memories with family watching ST. Who u going to watch play?

[@Guitarfreak12345]

Just so you know, there's a 3rd error card worth $10-$25 according to the 2019 Beckett guide and that's gonna be a Jeff Treadway card with a target right above his head. I bought an early run box from the error case and I go the Griffey, Smoltz, the Billy Ripken FF card and the Randy Johnson Marlboro card, but the Treadway was missing from the box sadly

[@janstanglx]

I noticed that after you opened 36 packs, there were only 4 or 5 all star cards making them seem like a rare card out of all those cards opened!!

[@nathanclaflin4352]

I still have 1 tim wallach so he cant have them all

[@jcfight30]

Thanks for the vid. Pretty good box, and didn’t see duplicates. Love all the extra comments. You definitely know more about baseball than me. I remember one year, that the pirates clinched the division, over the mets...Since than...disliked Pittsburgh teams. Maybe a year or 2 after that, was it the pirates that had this pitcher, who threw this special pitch? I don’t think the pirates won it all, in that era, but they were a good playoff team. Anyone know if there’s potential for any error cards in wax boxes, coming from a case code, I am trying to make out the code...it looks like 91662? I think they are not error boxes, but I am not sure.

[@ericsavage7699]

Several months back I purchased 2 Jumbo Cello boxes from BBCE. In the first box I opened, I found 2 F/Face cards. In the 2nd box, I found 13! They all had the same card order as well. I'd have to go back to my post on Patreon to see what it was. 15 total F/Face cards. I've sold several of them. I have about 5 or so left. I did not find the Johnson error though :( Which was really the one I was looking for.

[@WaveofCards]

That's interesting! You didn't happen to video it I'm guessing? I have one of those I bought from BBCE last year as well.

[@ericsavage7699]

@@WaveofCards Sorry, I did not video it as all I have is a cell phone and not a good one at that. I did take a photo of my haul and posted it on the Patreon page. Someone in Patreon actually contacted me and purchased several of them. I know it sounds unreal, but I wouldn't doubt it if these packs were some of the first off the line. They looked to be from the same sheet of cards as the card always followed a Jose Canseco 40/40 card along with some others. My wife and kids were all in the room and kept giving me looks of horror when I'd let out a scream after finding each and everyone of them. If you are a Patreon, my post is on September 14, 2019. You can zoom in just so much, but you can tell all the bats have F Face written on them.

[@WaveofCards]

@@ericsavage7699 That's good info, thank you! I'll be doing a vid of mine. I just watched another 89f cello break that hit 2 ff's!

[@boomslang024]

the mike heath card right before the Ryan may be an error on the back it's tom brookens back and vise versa.

[@pcbullets8726]

This set is not the most exciting color wise, but it did have Ken G Jr. I bought quite a bit of this back in the day trying to find the error cards. Also nice to see pretty much no doubles of cards.

[@billybravesbamafan8678]

I bought a 2020 Topps hanger box today and pulled a 1 of 1 Magenta Printing Plate of Justin Verlander! Crazy huh?

You have hands down the very best baseball card KZbin channel around. 100k subs on the way. I love these throwback thursdays. Almost as much as I love going with u guys hunting cards. Keep up the great content. It gets better every time. And that ‘89 Fleer box was impressive with all the rookies and almost no repeats. Thanks dude and good luck to ur Pirates this year it’s going to be a fun baseball season!!

[@rickroberts7611]

I got 15 boxes in front of me I'm about to go through lol...The long white boxes...8614-a..

TOM GORDON ROOKIE

[@robertanderson2898]

Ryan played in '66 too, that's one thing I hated about Fleer, they didn't show all the seasons for some of the longer tenured players. Ran outta room I guess. I have an '87 Fleer Pete Rose, and I think it starts at 1968! Still better than Donruss which was way worse! (but better cards). That Tom Brookens near the end is an error, supposed to have Mike Heath's stats on the back, and vice versa.....

[@Sophierottie45]

The font would be like .5

[@jrbarriga8357]

But I do have a question I got some cards I recall have a gold printed number on back I have no idea what that's for

[@jasonbourne5662]

I do not agree about your view on pricing. A value of a card is not what who ever pays it for. For example 1990 fleer card jose uribe you sold. Just because someone buys a card for $1,000 bucks does not make it worth that much. Just my opinion

[@almostmade801]

I never understand the love for Fred McGriff. Great stat counter, for sure, but the guy was never dominant, never once thought to be among the best players of his generation. Never finished higher than 4th in MVP voting. But I guess since the Hall lowered the bar with Harold Baines, this is what happens. I’d take Dale Murphy all day over Fred McGriff though..

Thanks for sharing Erik. Those 5 players are 🔥 I think you put them in the right order. Side note: Gary Sheffield at his best was an absolute beast 💪🔥

[@kfgrip]

Yeah especially after he admitted to deliberately making errors at 3rd base because he didn't like playing for the Padres anymore. Which also coincided with his new contract he got at San Diego.

It’s funny Randy Johnson is one of my all time favorite pitchers with Clemens and I see Johnson all the time. I work the city of Philadelphia down at Philly International Airport and Johnson and his wife are always catching flights out of there heading to Florida, I have tried speaking with him a few times but he just stays to himself and keeps moving along. I collect his rookies every single time I find one
