Enjoyed looking through this list of the most expensive 1970's Topps Baseball card, I was 11years old in 1971, I still have my complete set of the 1971 year, I have many of the 1970 Topp set along with 72', 73 & 74 cards, thank you again
Very helpful! I'm going through 25 binders of 1970s, 80s and 90s cards that were given to me. The first thing I found when I opened the tote was an autographed Ken Griffey Jr. ball. This is going to be fun! I am watching all of your videos while I sort ...
I think that Mantle & Griffey duel auto is one of the coolest cards ever. That card is signed by the most popular player of 4 decades worth of MLB. Even today where auto cards are in every product that would probably be the best card (of course the Mantle auto would have to be a cut, RIP). Could you imagine pulling that card 30 years ago? I can't...I lost it when I pulled an Barry Bonds Elite from a box of Donruss back then.
You are great because you get right to the point. No BS. Some of these talking heads love to hear themselves talk.lf there was an MVP OF THE Hobby it's you HANDS DOWN.THANK YOU CHRIS !
Wow. Thanks Chris. The 80's and 90's videos brought back the memories. My goal sometime later in the year is to pick up some of the less expensive guys that have been graded. Obviously most of mine are not Mint, since I enjoyed sorting cards and at 12 or 13 years old was not thinking about condition. It wasn't until about age 16 when I started being more careful with my cards. Mike Piazza will be my first target.
Was at first surprised not to see the '93 Bazooka Todd Helton on the list but I guess it could be considered a parallel even though it was from it's own set. Great video as always, I sure wish I had bought some of these 20 or 30 years ago!
Would like to see a video all on Jeter cards. Maybe not just the same old top 10 or 20, but a deeper cut into more of the less known cards but still can fetch a decent price.
Thank you for this breakdown, I have collected sports cards and memorabilia since the mid '70s, and this video really renewed my interest in the hobby. I suppose I am what some would call a "purest" as far as my collecting style. I grew up searching for those perfectly centered, no fuzz, sharp cornered cards of yesteryear, while sticking the no name commons in my bicycle spokes. The hunt is what drove myself and many others for many years, but once I started to see all the specialty inserts/cards being stuck into packs, I felt that the cards companies had abandoned what started the bobby int the first place. As such I had pretty much resided myself to the fact that the hobby had hit rock bottom and most likely would not recover. But what I failed to realize was that the enthusiasm was still there, it was now just focused on different things. That being said, this video started me thinking about all the cards/sets I have collected over the years and now, much like the previous collector's entry, I am watching your videos and again rummaging through my collection. In particular the huge numbers of 1992 Bowman I have. At the time I didn't give the cards much thought I just bought box after box to complete my set with countless dupe's and what I thought were commons at the time, just sitting collection dust.... but now with Mariano Rivera's popularity being off the charts, I am once again on the hunt, but this time to see just how many I have! Keep up the good work and thanks again for rekindling my passion for the hobby!
14:10 oh my God! I just realized I pulled one of these cards in a five dollar Fairfield pack :-) thank you for dropping this knowledge. I got a valuable card!
Great video man. Wow! Didnt think cards were even a thing anymore. I remember touching more than several of these cards listed here. Values are insane. I wonder whats in my collection that I havnt looked at in over 25 years.
I still buy a box of 1992 Donruss now and then to go Ripken hunting. My best friend and I both pulled elites back in 92. Lots of good nostalgia/entertainment for $20/box.
A shrewd card shop owner fleeced me outta my ‘92 bowman box I bought on a lark at Sam’s club. I traded almost all of my cards chasing shaq rookies(skybox, ud, topps). I had no idea what I had as a 10 y/o. Little did he know my shaqs eventually passed up the bowman value, only took 20 something years. Long game ha
1991 Donruss Elite was really cool back then. If only I knew to take care of them better when I got some. LOL. Weird because the base 1991 Donruss may be the ultimate poster child for the ‘Junk Wax Era’
Always wanted that 1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNO, i saw one at a show in the early 2000s and cldve got it for like $300, if i remember correctly. I wasnt sure if it was fake cause it looked like i might have been altered by someone so i passed. It was a raw copy. Still a big card in the overall history of baseball cards.
How did the 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe error card not make the list. Raw it’s like a $ 20, 000 Card. LOL. Great content, Great video , keep up the H.O.F work. Fun fact: I was planing on buying my first house with all my Todd VanPoppel rookie cards.
I got the reggie auto when I was nine years old. I put it in my back pocket and went to the card shop. Guy freaked out I had it in my pocket. Thankfully no damage and I still have it.
hey this is a cool youtube channel. I am a 10 year old and my dad gave me all of his cards when he was a kid in the early 90s. I started my own youtube channel opening up cards, your youtube has given me some good tips. thanks.
1993 Upper Deck Gold Holograms are so hard to find box/ set fresh for any player. That parallel has been so underrated because a lot of people have no idea how hard they are to find "in the wild". It's finally getting the respect it deserves.

Well damn. I thought my early 90s cards were all worth very little. I’m going to have to go through them again and see if I have any of these still. I know at one point, I had many of these.
Topp's Finest were always my favorite cards. I have a Rookie Kobe Bryant I need to get graded. The next card show I intend to get it graded as well as some others.
That 92 Ripken (elite) signature series card is an all time great. Gorgeous. I think the 93 elite set was really nice too, in terms of aesthetics, though the selection of players could’ve been stronger… maybe… just an opinion tho. Loving the content 👍.
It's a crime that Pedro Martinez is nowhere on the base card list. The existence of his '91 UD final edition probably hurts the value of his cadillac '92 Bowman card, but still.
This my favorite video you have made just because the tiffany cards was not the top cards your count down I have almost watched all your video I've got all of the Michael Jordan baseball cards wish I had all his basketball cards I should have keep them when I was young instead of trading them for a bicycle which I enjoyed the bicycle growing up lol
I am pretty sure I have #6 . When I would get baseball cards growing up I would buy the becket lookup guides and put the higher value cards in hard plastic others in soft plastic sleeves. I would rarely handle them and didn't keep them laying around
I feel like Reggie Jackosn , is one of the most common autographs I see In box breaks . Not just this card but autographs in general. Last week I saw a break and they pulled a Tim Wallach , and I was like wow that's a auto I never see, yet I'm guessing I should be more impressed by a Reggie jackson auto .of course Reggie is a legend. But his autos I feel are everywhere
The 1994 upper deck Ken Griffey jr and Mickey mantle auto came in three variations. There’s a Mickey signed. There’s a Griffey signed and then there is a dual signed. A lot of the single signature cards have had an after market signature added to them to appear to be dual signature so keep an eye for that
Thank you for producing these videos....very helpful and informative. I'm glad that you included base cards in this one and the ones that you include them in, I watched one recently where they weren't....and unfortunately, my wallet isn't going to allow me to have many of the "refractor/parallel/insert cards in my collection.
That’93 Topps finest was in my opinion the best of the finest. Collected for many years. Not anymore. Still have about 8000 rookies. From all sports B-ball to Tennis. You only have to ask.🐎🌻✌️
Those 1991 Bowman cards must be pretty condition sensitive to have the most valuable Pudge and Bagwell rookies. Also, I still hate that 1992 Bowman used photos with prospects in street clothes.
I have multiple 5k boxes of early 90’s junk wax. Need to go through them some day. They actually survived better than the cards I put in binders and top loaders because they were kept at my parents house after I moved out. And unfortunately a lot were UV damaged and moisture damaged 😭
I literally just bought a shoe box with 200 cards , only 25 players . All sleeved and top loaded. And forgotten. Got all the players in your list, some like jetter, Ryan, Thomas, Bagwell, Rodriguez. Have 20 cards of them. All 90's
The 1991 Topps error Frank Thomas card actually had other cards that shared the same "smear" error on the sheet. I have a couple that have the error, but they're not valued like the Frank Thomas is. I still have an unopened complete set of 1991 Topps just to keep "the chase" for that Frank Thomas alive. Set also has Ken Griffey Jr's Rookie card as well as Sammy Sosa's too. Of course, those cards aren't worth nearly as much as their "Tiffany" counterparts.
One of the reasons why the desert shield cards are so rare is that they were distributed to troops in Iraq in the barracks and bases. Which means that getting a card back to America in good condition was an arduous task. Any that survived in good condition was a matter of pure luck/accident. My cousin, who served in Iraq and received a pack, used the cards as book marks.
Your cousin probably served in Saudi, not Iraq. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Our mission was to drive them out, but go no further than Kuwait, which is too bad because if we had gotten into Iraq, we probably wouldn't have had to go back in 2004 to finish the job. Speaking as a Marine who was with the amphibious forces during this time, I can tell you NONE of us saw a single pack. I didn't even know these cards existed until I finally got back stateside in '91.

Frank Thomas 1990 Leaf, one of my favorites.

I have that card and the 1990 leaf Griffey Unfortunately I don’t think it’s PSA worthy.
I loved his rookie sensation card too

Wow congrats! 😳✌
My buddy stole a pack from a Party Fair in NJ and pulled the Griffey/Mantle auto. Don’t know what happened to it since…
Two lists for one video, what a great value.
I wanted to let you know that I have been watching your videos for the last year and a half and have enjoyed them all! Thanks Chris!
The lack of comments is because I usually watch you on my big screen, so there’s at least two that I am aware of, keep up the good work!

I remember opening those Bowmans with the Chipper rookie. Use to be able to get cards at the corner stores. Now they’re hard to find.
Thanks for the video. Loved 90-91, tolerated 92, then 93+ simply priced me out. Saw junk wax evolve into gold plated cards in this video.
Man, I gotta go through my collection, I know I've got some good ones now. Thanks for the update.

Same…. OUCH

Crazy how undervalued Hoffman's rookie is. Definitely seems like a good pickup at current prices
Totally!
am glad i found your channel found some interesting insights
Really enjoyed this upload.
Those Desert Shield cards were also given to employees of Topps.
How did the 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe error card not make the list. Raw it’s like a $ 20, 000 Card. LOL.
Great content, Great video , keep up the H.O.F work.

its a few dollars, the market was manipulated. look at sold listings
@Eric Jones The football player?
@Eric Jones no Paul miller who traded u those cards for weed
@Eric Jones LOL not even worth that now
@Eric Jones all of them are around 150 combined
I got the reggie auto when I was nine years old. I put it in my back pocket and went to the card shop. Guy freaked out I had it in my pocket. Thankfully no damage and I still have it.
That was a great summation and many of the cards especially the inserts I didn't know existed. Loved that Musial Mantle Yastrzemski autograph card!
This was informative. Thank you
Thanks for all the hard work on your videos. Very interesting and informative 👍🏻👊🏻👌🏻
Chris, I believe the 1990 Topps #USA1 George Bush (Yale) card would be at the top of this list as well.
Whoever gave this video a thumbs down is a sad example of a human being. Thanks as always for the hard work, Chris!
Very much enjoyed this video, thanks!
Thanks for the video. Love your content.
Wow! Glad to see my Bo Jackson card going up in value 😁
God bless to absolutely everyone reading this for eternity and beyond
I opened a ton of packs during the early 90’s. Going to pull out the boxes and see what I find!
I need to go though my cards from when I was a kid got boxes of cards from 80s and 90s!

I also have all the Bagwells, and Chipper Jones that you showed.(minus the desert shield)
Wow. I really gotta go through my old baseball cards
I am thinking the same thing. I noticed a couple of cards that I have. I have them either in binders or in a plastic containers.
Wow thats a cool Griffey and Mantle auto card at the beginning of the video.
I have the Jeter SP somewhere. We moved twice since I had it so hopefully it’s in a box somewhere. I think I need to look harder 😂

Simply "BO" but done in blue and black (Royals & Raiders). A minimalistic masterpiece!

Rivera's 93 Bowman photo should have been on his RC 🤣
Wow I have the 93 upper deck Jeter card. I'm afraid to pull it out of its sleeve but it looks clean.
Love this video...... But snap thought some of my cards were The good stuff.... I learned something.
I didn't mean anything. I enjoy Chris's video's. I have learned a few things to. I always have just collected them. Sorry 😊
Without question, I'd take the Griffey/Mantle auto over the Frank Thomas error. It's just legendary.
Still have that Frank Thomas in one of my 1990 sets. Have some digging to do
I got some of these in a binder. How do you get graded and sell?
That’93 Topps finest was in my opinion the best of the finest. Collected for many years. Not anymore. Still have about 8000 rookies. From all sports B-ball to Tennis. You only have to ask.🐎🌻✌️

For what it's worth, our PA announcer in Detroit would say "E-von Rodriguez"
I have the Michael Jorden upper deck star rookies card I watched because I got old baseball cards from my aunt and I wanted to know more about them

I love the Goodwill auction site & always wonder if there’s anything good in those big binders they auction off?!
Me too, bought a lot of vintage cards got 4 1973 topps mike schmidt sold one and grading the others now
Taking me back to my childhood! Love the video Chris! Thanks
Everyone of these guys should be Hof'rs. Including Bo. A ton of future value here. Also plenty of insert gold sitting in unopened peak junk wax.
Definitely not bo…ridiculous
Lol... sounds like you're giving a sales pitch. There's a reason it's called the junk wax area...
Bo didn't play nearly enough to achieve HOF numbers.
I have multiple 5k boxes of early 90’s junk wax. Need to go through them some day. They actually survived better than the cards I put in binders and top loaders because they were kept at my parents house after I moved out. And unfortunately a lot were UV damaged and moisture damaged 😭
These kids don’t know BO
I literally just bought a shoe box with 200 cards , only 25 players . All sleeved and top loaded. And forgotten. Got all the players in your list, some like jetter, Ryan, Thomas, Bagwell, Rodriguez. Have 20 cards of them. All 90's
A very measured and calculated path guiding Cabeza de Brasil along the path
You’ll get nothing following the path; but maybe you’ll get to refinish some stuff in marble, which is suuuper cool
The 1991 Topps error Frank Thomas card actually had other cards that shared the same "smear" error on the sheet. I have a couple that have the error, but they're not valued like the Frank Thomas is. I still have an unopened complete set of 1991 Topps just to keep "the chase" for that Frank Thomas alive. Set also has Ken Griffey Jr's Rookie card as well as Sammy Sosa's too. Of course, those cards aren't worth nearly as much as their "Tiffany" counterparts.
I own that Michael Jordan baseball card I use to collect Michael Jordan Jerry rice. When I was younger I have a rather large collection of cards
Most people don't know that Bo once hit 4 homers in 4 at bat.
