As a kid in the late 80s I had the 79 Munson , I need to get that card back in my collection
The George Brett rookie is still one of my favorite cards of all time. Just something about that card I love.
In no order, aesthetically my 3 favorite cards from 70s...Brett, Yount, Eckersley RCs.
Great composition, great background, and great colors on the border. I agree. That and the 72 Clemente are my two favorites.
@@jude999 oh yeah, that is a fantastic card too.
I am selling that one ...any interest
I don't comment often but just wanted to let you know that I watch every upload and appreciate your content.
My favourite Keith Hernandez moment was his Seinfeld appearance 😂
Back. And to the left.
There must've been a second spitter!! 😂
I have all of these cards. I started collecting in 1975 at age 10 and still have all of my cards.
The first packs I ever opened had Brett and yount rookies.. I'm glad I kept them. I have a complete 79 set. The last card I needed was was Ozzie Smith rookie... It was about 10 bucks in the early 80s and I didn't want to pay that much but I did finally buy one back then.
I need to send some into PSA.
I wouldn't. You will spend a bunch of money getting them graded ... you will swear you have cards that would grade out at 8's and 9's and they will come back as 4's or 5's which will make them worth less than the cost of getting them graded. It's a total racket and borders on being a total scam. Been there ... done that.
Incredible how untouched by time Nolan Ryan's popularity is. A 7th year psa 8 Ryan gets more than the RC of the greatest Brewer ever in Yount, RC of a guy in the goat shortstop discussion in Smith, and only gets edged out by the RC of the greatest Royal ever, George Brett. Long live Nolan Ryan, the biggest name in the hobby after Mantle.
Im suprised his rookie has not gone up much at all the last five years.
My favorite era of cards
Graduated in 79 so this is perfect for me. Great era, great cards. Heavy into baseball as I was playing high school baseball so it was relevant to me. Great cards to chase
Eddie Murray is still way undervalued and underappreciated in this hobby. One of only a few with 3,000 hits and 500 or more HR. I only own two of his raw rookies but I wish I could afford an SGC 9
Also was a switch hitter.
Not many switch hitters can say that. Chipper, Pete Rose in a different style. Great switch hitters.
Mickey Mantle best switch hitter
Still have thousands of 70's topps cards my cousin gave me in the 80's but none of them are graded and they have been sitting in shoe boxes for decades.
U need to go through them and pick out any hall of farmers and buy the card holders that fit in a looseleaf
I have these cards but I don't think anybody wants them.
The ‘76 set has always been my favorite. That Bench card is the gold standard of all 70’s cards.
Robin Yount shortstop/center field unbelievable player. Great video
I love the 1975 Topps set.
Even better as minis
Purchased a 1977 Topps complete set when they came out in 1977. Still in the original box and never took any of them out. Started collecting in the late 60's but this was the first complete set I ever purchased. $15.99 back then. Wished I would have bought more sets of course ....
I started collecting cards for 1978 year (Mom bought me full set for Christmas). I really wish I started year earlier as 1977 are gorgeous with clean action scene and minimalist layout.
When I was younger I thought the '75 Topps set looked ridiculous with the random two color borders, but now I think it's just fantastic.
Try some 2001 archives reserve/refractor-style. They look GREAT! (Brett, Yount, Madlock). There is also chrome of Nolan Ryan & Hank Aaron.
Looks better than the originals.
3 of my all-time favorite players on here. Reggie, Schmidt and Brett. I have a raw Reggie rookie, probably a PSA 2/3, a Brett PSA 5 RC, but I'm in need of a Schmidt rookie. I'll own one someday.
Really enjoy this series, thank you!
Love these years in cards along with the early 80s. Thanks for sharing!
You know what would be a fun series. If you could own 10 cards from each decade what would they be. Could do a budget version and a no limits version.
Interesting idea....
78 Topps Murphy also has three other really really good catches on it. Always thought that card was undervalue but all the great 77 tops that showed up on that list was totally awesome!
Great video. Incredible there has never been a PSA 10 for the 1975 Topps Hank Aaron card
Love these updates Chris!!!
Would love to see football, basketball, and hockey updates too!
“A Year In Cards” series is great too!
I primarily collect 1970s vintage. Was a huge Brett fan glowing up in the mid 70s. This was a very enjoyable video. Thanks.
Really enjoy your videos. I’d like to pick up several of these cards.
I was in the hospital for a week in 1977, 9 years old, parents divorced. My mom and dad brought me so many packs of baseball cards and I still have them. 😊
I love watchin your content Chris, I been learnin alot more than I already knew💯…As always Thanks for sharing Bud🤘
Really enjoy these list!!! Keep up the hard! Give the research department a pat on the back for all the hard work!!!
Great stuff, Chris. Stumped me with Bruce Sutter. Thanks for this
Definitely stoked to see my all time fav player show up with the top card overall. The ALT app shows it as a pop 5 in psa 10. Honestly that is hard to fathom for a set that is in no wise rare. I mean, his 93 finest refractor in psa 10 is a pop 9 😢 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks, as always, for another great vid 💪🏼
Great video as always. One of your comments - that Bench was arguably the greatest catcher of all time - made me think about Yogi Berra. 3 MVPs and 10 WS rings. But seems to be forgotten. Could be an interesting future video for you: under appreciated HOFers like Berra, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, etc.
Great trivia questions, love the hobby quizzes
You could have named this…. The top 10 mustaches from the 1970s
Vintage 70s! Pound for pound, Dawson was the best player I ever saw. Murphy and Hernandez should be in HOF, way above Larkin, Baines, Minosa, and Simmons. That 7 no hitters in the era of base hitters is probably the most impressive thing ever achieved in baseball.
Another interesting tidbit, if you search for George Brett poop story you’ll find he is not only number one on this list but also has the number one story ever recorded
Love this series!!
Great video as always, Chris. Kind of off topic, but this video got me thinking about the GOATs who played in all parts of the 70s. What a great decade of baseball, maybe the best in terms of greatness playing in one decade.
The 1971 all-star game had 19 hall of famers
@@ACD1994 wow, thanks for that factoid! That’s gotta be a record.
Great fact!
Maybe it’s just me but I prefer regular rollers over high rollers
Please stop.
Wrong day
@@joelb.2685 oh shoot my bad
loved the triva at the end! :)
I got boxes of these cards and hockey cards that i inherited from my dad theres so much cards i dont even wanna touch them
Dale Murphy should be in the HOF! He dominated mlb for a decade….tell me another sport where a player wouldn’t be a hall of famer when they were the best player for a decade?
That's a pretty cool Rose.
Great video.
Looking forward to the other videos too!
Thanks for the video, Chris! Kudos to the research department! Guessing a Ken McMullen was #21. Shout out to the 1975 Herb Washington.
McMullen just missed the top 20
All of these cards could be had for really reasonable prices raw..🤔😮 So if you're sitting on some of these in NM/MT condition you should certainly grade those..😉 Love this list of cards..😍 Take care Chris..👍💕🔥👊
I love watching your videos just to see if I have any of the cards listed. I do have two of these! I have one of the Molitor and five of the Brett's. My Molitor wood grade out to a 3 and my best Brett Wood crate out to a 7.
'Keith Hernandez? Keith Hernandez?!? I DESPISE Keith Hernandez!'
There had to be a second spitter Kraemer. It was Roger McDowell by the gravelly road.
Happy to see the Murph on that list
Chris you forgot the 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson that shows him as a Baltimore Oriole..
The 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson actually shows him with the Yankees
I will never forgive the Cubs trading Dennis Eckersley after back-to-back complete game shutouts as a starter.
You can get a chrome version of that 75 Ryan and it looks great. Best one in my opinion of that commemorative Ryan set. Not the same as a refractor but still very nice.
You can get a 2001 archives reserve of that 77 Fisk and it looks great as well as a refractor. For dollars!
I remember buying the George Brett rookie card in the early 80s at my local card store for $.60
Nice!
Surprised Bob Gibson's 1975 Topps Card didn't make the list
IN 1977, Reggie Jackson had 3 home runs on 3 swings. Amazing
He also homered in his final AB the game before. So he actually homered on four consecutive pitches.
@@snerdterguson True
#44 was one great player and swag for days. Saw Reg a few years ago at a Spring Training game and was in awe
Great video. Eckersley was not the all-time leader in saves when he retired tho'. It was Lee Smith - 478.
Good catch! You are right about that
Good stuff! Finally picked up a Yount last week, psa 9 (pwcc-s). Long term collector, if I can find a 9 of a HOF guy that's super clean, at the right price, I'm buying it. Would like an Ozzie in a very clean 9, but feel like those have quite the premium.
Congrats on that Yount!
@@collectorinvestordealer Thanks! My birth year, love that set. Random fun story for you. I had a high school math teacher who grew up with him. "My buddies and I were 12 years old. In the summer Robin would play ball with us. He was 8. He was always the first one picked."
When he said 3 pitchers, I assumed Steve Carlton, not Dennis Eckersley.
I can only imagine how many employees are working on the research team now
Chris. Thank you for finally putting an identifier (EX) next to "Raw". From my understanding, your (EX) citation states the average raw card from the 70s is indeed in EX condition. I agree with this assumption. This also fills a logic gap that you have left unfilled and that is why I have always operated under the assumption that you "lowball"" ungraded cards. I now understand that it's not that you undervalue them, it's just that you speak about them in general terms as raw/ EX cards. This does bring up a question though. How do you go about estimating high-grade/great eye-appeal vintage raw cards? Knowing that the ranges between PSA 7, 8, or 9 are highly subjective within the industry makes the notion of paying top dollar for raw cards a very risky proposition.
I would say 99% of 70s collections I see range from poor to EXMT, with the majority being from vg to ex. There are very few high grade raw 70s collections at this point. If I come across one, I certainly factor in potential values with grading, which comes with experience.
@@collectorinvestordealer Thanks for the clarification and keep on doing what you do.
He’s off on the Dale Murphy ‘77 rook as it doesn’t sell for less than $450.
I was hoping you were going to do the update
Does anyone have a recommendation of where to buy some quality hard plastic card protectors?
Is there a brand that is recommended over another?
You can get a case of 1000 toploaders from Cardboard Gold for about $90. A case from Ultra Pro goes for about $150 - not worth the extra $ imho. 25 count packs sell for $6-9 at most cardstores. I have a place that sells them for $3.50.
I had that 79 Ozzie Smith card. It wasn't a 10. Im guessing an 8 or 7. I sold it back in 89
Show up for list, stay for the tidbits
I love the lists, as always. Though with the not inclusion of the 75 mini cards, I kinda feel they should count. Was just wondering,if that might be, if any of the mini versions, would or do, command a higher price, for any of the already, wildly valuable,standard cards? Also, how much does their more rare, I'd imagine, they are, but, likely not more valuable, in terms of auction sale numbers. Perhaps there are examples that may be out of step with a standard, or typical, rule of thumb. And, if it's something you are privy to, how does condition grading, compare? Lack of tens? Just curious, if you may have looked into any of the questions I am having ..
The minis are definitely rarer, and I think raw sell for a little more than the standard size. But in higher graded condition, I have noticed they generally sell for a little less than the standard cards.
@@collectorinvestordealer you are awesome my man! I was able to grab a number, of each addition. My local shop, scored on a pile of each, most every star. Between his one employee, and myself, we were able to get our pick, in very gradable, 8s. Possibly a 9 or two. For less than raw pricing. I felt a need to go, took a taxi, perfect timing. I got lil'george, big yount. I grabbed mini Hank,Reggie, and a stellar big Dave Winfield. I wish I had chosen a few more, and surely would have, if it weren't for the same star studded piles, of 70,71, 72, and a few 73s, 74s. 71,74,Munson. 70,72,73,Mays. 70,73,Clemente.,70,72,aaron. 72 Nolan ryan.I was told of a guy that was there earlier, when the collection came in. He grabbed stellar 71s, of everyone. And all the Nolan's but one, he already had a Munson rookie, thankfully! Reason I boast in this post,or reply... I've seen where you have had cards sent your way. I am certain from what I have seen,for a long, informative, and grateful time, that you are as genuine and sincere as they come. Remarkably rare thing, in this modern world. Perhaps you can, possibly assist me in some grading and selling of some choice cards, I'd be happy to work a partnership deal. You may even choose to make a feature out of it. I was also wanting to send you some rare ripken low pop, inserts from the early 90s. I seem to get him, in old packs, at a improbable/impossible, rate. Going for my player, Griffey. I got 4, 92 fleer team leaders, for example. That other black boarder insert, same year. Oh, got a pop up 88 donruss. Tho it says 87, on the back. Came with weird 88 donruss.... Idk. It's yours either way. Even if you are too busy to help. Just for the wisdom and help you have given me. Cards and coins. Anyhow, let me know what's best, to get things out to you. Thanks, again.

Jack Morris pitched the greatest game in world series history (with apologies to Don Larson)
Surprised Steve Garvey didn't make the top 20
What’s your preferred method for getting values for different grades of cards?
I use eBay and vintagecardprices.com
@@collectorinvestordealer Thanks! You're the best!
I done like either
Have Dale Murphy on e bay it’s 2 bucks ridiculous. These quiet places try to rip you off.
What grade would a card that is not brand new, handled a few times. I have no clue on how they grade the cards
Yes, those are Topps cards that are fine and dandy like sour candy. But Topps (even though they have the exact same photography) and also O-Pee-Chee are much more rare and valuable.
I'd rather be a pitcher than a catcher
I do too
Pete Rose for HoF
Clemente card 71 Topps.
I'm surprised that the Eddie Murray isn't higher. Seems undervalued
It's mainly because Topps started producing more cards in 1978.
You would think Rod Carew played in 155 games and had PA 694 .388 get more respect. He was at .400 at one point and tried by the in of season. Brett only played in 117 games and only had PA 515 and .390. Gwynn only played in 110 games and only 475 PA with .394.
Great point
I have a bunch of cards and just need help getting need sent off to get graded
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie........
Murphy won MVP back to back to back MVP - 3 yrs in a row - not in the HOF ?!?
Murphy won 2 MVPS - in 1982 & 1983
🥇🎉
Yeah..🤘
We have a winner!
👍
Was Mike Schmidt ever young?
What are ps 9 or 102?
Chris, if I sent you pics of a card, could you give me your opinion on authenticity?
Sure!
Sir is there a way that I can contact you I have a photo album full of great baseball cards from the 60s, 70s and 80s... I need someone that will tell me the truth about my cards and not try to play me as if I'm a moron... A lot of baseball card dealers here in NYC are con artists and think that I don't know what I'm talking about ... Can you help me out ???
Feel free to email me at sewallsportscards@gmail.com
Munson was 32, not 30 when he died.
🙋♂🙋♂👍👍
As a collector of well known HOF baseball cards it seem no one in this era is of interest to me… i find that intersting… lol.. but yeah not intersted in colleting anything in this video...
I need help selling cards ?
why not any minis
The moral of the story ? TOPPS quality was basically horrendous back then and because of that .... ANY damn card in pristine condition is worth a ton of dough... no matter who it is.
Yeah I remember growing up how bad the 71s looked straight outta the pack...73s too but ESPECIALLY 71s . Black borders=bad idea.
We’d browse through all of the 71 packs in a store and scratch the wax paper to determine the player in those coins they had that year. Remember those ?
This video is killing me.. When I was a kid I had half of these and gave them to my girlfriends little brother.. ugh.
4 player Cup-o-Coffee cards were not cared about when they came out and so they are not as good as a FIRST solo card. People are followers and so they CHASE after any FIRST card even when surrounded by 3 players nobody ever heard of. And theyre all close-up face shots. (Makes for a poor PHOTO-ALBUM entry, by the way.)
Top5 banks to go under
Top20 grocery items jumping in value
This is a GREAT time to absolutely NOT collect sports cards nor to "invest"/GAMBLE on them.
When the food shelves go empty put mustard on those cards!
WTF is paying so much for these cards?
People that have more money than sense can’t believe a Ozzie Smith rookie sold for over 200 grand and a Robin Yount sold for over a 100 grand. And 186 for a George Brett 🤯
Ms is not the goat. Postseason stats between GB and Ms it's not even close. GBis the real goat
How does a Ricky Henderson rookie not make the list? Fuck baseball cards... I had some of these and no one cared about them in the 90's. I was conned into buying a Ricky Henderson rookie right before the huge baseball card bubble in the early to mid 90's. Bought it for 40 dollars... basically all my savings. I think it's probably still at 40 dollars or less... 30 years later.
Henderson Rookie is 1980 so did not qualify for this list.
