The moment you go through your childhood collection (and buying new cards) instantly makes you a child again. That’s the allure, the romantic part about collecting. The reason why I collect today after all these years.
My dad used to bring me to card shows and stay in the car. He would have flashbacks like a Vietnam vet seeing all the Mantle and Aaron cards his mom threw out.
Of all the cards I see, you start with putting Tony fernandez on top. he just passed away a few days ago. he was a great player for the Jays in the 80's. Part of the big trade with McGriff to get Alomar and Carter.
Those are very nice cards from your childhood. The surprises were the 70's cards especially the Carlton Fisk. Where was the sleeve(lol). I'm sure you can protect it anytime. I also enjoyed the 1995 Bowman cards. I bought very few 1995 baseball packs due to me being in college and at that time lost interest in the hobby. I was more focused with school and meeting people.
In high school I use to go to card shows, buy all the cool inserts and rookies of top players that my friends like and sell to them with a little mark up
My favorite quote about Ozzie Smith came from Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog. When asked how he could justify keeping Ozzie Smith in the lineup due to his continued poor plate performance, Herzog replied "Because he saves me 100 runs a year". Ozzie had the intangibles.
We lived in a apparment that got flooded when I was younger and I lost all my childhood cards so recently I've started over. It drives me nuts because I have no clue what I had. I could of had a super rare/expensive card. Probably not because when I was real young the neighborhood bully who was much older would take my good cards and give me his trash cards. But I still collected when we moved. Sorry for the rant. This video just brought major memories back.
I have two Matt Williams 1991 Donruss Elite series cards. I pulled them back then from a few boxes I got for my birthday. I'd love the Ryne Sandberg Auto
One of my favorite balls last season came from Bartolo. He told me no all season, but one day in BP he was engaged in conversation facing away from the plate and I called out a Heads Up to them when a ball came and landed about 3 feet from him. A few minutes later he threw me one in the 2nd deck.
A nostalgic look back on to 1995 ! That only becomes humorous to someone like myself who is over 70 years old of age. In another 30-40 years you will appreciate the humor.
I wish I still had my collection from my childhood. They got ruined while I was in college. I have been buying packs and cards from my childhood. Brings back so many memories.
Erik, don't put out vids when I'm supposed to be working. Haha. Your time card and ID remind me of something I found a few days ago in a stack of thrift store cards. It's a 20th anniversary ticket from our transit system "BART", from 1992 with 20 cents left on it. Pretty cool.
That was cool. What a blast from the past. I was out of the hobby by the time you git most of those cards. So it was nice to see what i missed back then.
Awesome video thank you! I just recently did this with my baseball cards from when I was a kid. I decided to start rebuilding my Gary Carter collection. Thank you!
C'mon Jabs - Brien Taylor wasn't "a bust" - the guy stopped a bar fight and got his shoulder destroyed by a wooden stool. He was the consensus top player - can't miss prospect - for 3 years in a row. He attempted to come back but couldn't pitch at all. And I believe he was the first 1M signing bonus? Anyhow - love the content.

A little stroll down memory lane... cool. Have fun collecting.
Nothing like finding childhood collections!
Fun going through your old collection
That's awesome...What a trip down memory lane
I’m glad you found your old cards!!
Enjoyed this video. More than just ripping a box. Nothing like going through a childhood collection
Always nice to go back and visit the past, great video!
I noticed a Brian Anderson in there. Our grandmothers lived next to each other when I was growing up. Both great ladies
Awesome find
Great walk down memory lane!
Love the Andruw Jones rookie
Fun watch as always
I love the Elite McGriff card.
Awesome find !
Congrats on still having that!
Nostalgia!!!!!!
Great cards. Nice memory to relive.
It’s cool that your folks didn’t throw that stuff out. My father did the minute I went away to college.
Currently going through some cards back from my childhood and picking out all the good ones now, good video and fun times

I love that Fred McGrif
Great video. I stopped collecting around 1993. Just started back this year mostly due to your videos.

I have two Matt Williams 1991 Donruss Elite series cards. I pulled them back then from a few boxes I got for my birthday. I'd love the Ryne Sandberg Auto
I was looking for this kind of video
A trip back in memory time is always a great way to go back and remember when you were collecting when you were much younger
I have a Clemente just like that Willie Mays

Great video 👍 I love going through my old boxes even when I know there are no gems just memories.

As Marlin fan, Alex Fernandez was a top want for me..Was a very good player
That Burger King clock out is Gem Mint 10 🤣
That’s cool
liked for the college ID
It is always cool to have extra
Love the Burger King Time clock relic 1 of 1!
great video
I wish I still had my collection from my childhood. They got ruined while I was in college. I have been buying packs and cards from my childhood. Brings back so many memories.
Lucky! All I found under my bed is cat hair!
Nice find. I'm sure my parents still have a few of my cards as well.
Really cool to look back and see the prices from 20 or so years ago and see how they’ve changed so much
That was really interesting
91 and 92 donruss is what i bought alot of when i was a kid

Nomo is awesome. Only guy throw a no-hitter at Coors Field
I like the mays and kaline cards,even though the condition isnt great
Nice cards
Great video i wish i was a kid again everything was fun not to worry about tomorrow
Some nice Piazza's in those boxes
That was cool. What a blast from the past. I was out of the hobby by the time you git most of those cards. So it was nice to see what i missed back then.
Nice collection, I didnt know about the book cards.
What a find by your brother/dad!
Wannabe Gaming yeah that was so cool
I bet the memories came flooding back. I wish I still had my old cards from childhood.
I would have flipped out if I pulled that Mcgriff. He and Joe Carter were my favorite players as a kid.
A nice trip down memory lane. 😊
Awesome video thank you! I just recently did this with my baseball cards from when I was a kid. I decided to start rebuilding my Gary Carter collection. Thank you!
I too used to put prices on the card sleeves when I was a kid based on Beckett price guide. Ha, I doubt I was right on any of them being worth a lot
I think Jorge Posada was in the 94 Bowman set if I’m not mistaken.
I wish I could see a box of mixed cards that can include 50s,60s,and 70s cards as well!🥴
Love those mid 90s cards. Would love to see some for a TBT
Awesome video
Love the McGriff card. One of my favorite players. Always great to find childhood memories.
