These packs literally changed baseball card collecting. Huge deal

I feel like the Smoltz RC deserves to be sleeved/set aside.

i enjoyed collecting in the 80's... used to mow lawns and would take my few dollars over to 7-11 or AMPM and get a slushee and a few packs for a quarter each... straight set collecting checking em off the checklist card with a pen... traded doubles with friends to collect all 700 cards... good 'ol days...

What a weird day, I woke up today and decided to finally open my box of 1990 Series II Leaf cards that I purchased when I was a young man. I got half way thru the box and had 3 Frank Thomas, 3 Larry Walker and 4 Randy Johnsons. I stopped very happy with mu cards and then turned on the TV and watched you open this 89 Upper Deck. A good day all around. Thanks for what you do!!

I bought one pack for like $5 outside Fenway Park about 20 yrs ago and pulled the Griffey!

@@naterthot69 na even back then the Griffey was like a $120 and a box was like $150 to $180. 36 packs × $5 is right in that range.

Griffey has to be top 5 most iconic cards people chased in pack opening, especially in the junk wax era that card was so hard to get. And upperdeck packs were expensive back then. Love that card

Love watching vintage box breaks. Thanks for doing this Phil. Glad you hit a Griffey.

The Albert hall from this set got me into card collecting. I found it laying on the road. The shiny upper deck logo on the back made my 6/7 year old mind explode. Wanted more. From then on it was saving up my money to buy packs of cards at the local red food store.

I'm fairly certain the 1989 boxes did not come factory sealed. At that time Upper Deck cards always ran in serial number order. Very easy to find the Griffey. All you had to do was open the top pack of each of the four stacks to know exactly where the card would be in the box. I did not know this for many years after 1989 - and after I opened almost 10 boxes, never pulling a Griffey card on my own.

It's hard to get a good Griffey in a factory set because he's the first in the set and gets banged up alot more than the other cards in the set

My mom found a sealed set at a yard sale for $5. When I opened it the Griffey was flawless. Sending it out for grading expecting no less than a 9.

Love the vids Phil, I also love the fact a major league collects as well. Keep the content flowing brother

@ 13:55 I literally fell off the toilet! Yes my past time is watching Phils Pulls while pooping.

Mark Mcguire rookie is on the top cards of all time. I remember when they used to sell his rookie and hobby boxes on home shopping network

I love love love your build up music to when you pull a big hit.... Gets me pumped...

I bought one pack back in I think 91 at a card shop for 5 bucks. Opened it and the first card I saw was the Griffey. The pack also had a nolan Ryan. I'll still to this day, choose junk era cards over new stuff anyday

Nobody: Phil when he says donut: 🥐

I remember going to a card show in 1990 and pulling on of these cards in a pack. The whole show seemed to stop and come congratulate me. Was a highlight of my pack pulling career.😁

Wowwwww you are pulling fire 🔥 🔥🔥 keep the great content coming

Those packs were searchable! Once the numerical order was figured you could know if Griffey was in the box. Each pack had two cards from each 100's...0-100,101-200,201-300 etc plus one unknown hundred. Those boxes had no shrink wrap from a fresh case....beware!!

I was laughing the whole time we were trying to do the arithmetic from 1949 to 1989

That was the most excitement I ever seen from you. Awesome pull!

You should have put the Smoltz to the good card pile! After all he is a hall of famer! Fun video your editor is top notch!! True story one day i went into my LCS during Covid-19 March i think and i opened a couple packs of Opening Day hit a Gavin Lux auto! Then he had some packs of 89 Upperdeck High Number and i hit the Griffey Jr. in the second pack!

Bob Horner and his “ideal form” once hit 4 hrs in one game.

Favorite collecting year...has to be the 1st one...1987. Wood borders on the Topps, cool blue Fleer, and the Donruss with the baseballs on the borders. Mattingly, Bonds, Maddux, McGwire...classic players.

That’s awesome you found a Randy Ready, when I was a kid I was at a Calgary Cannons AAA game and Ready was playing for the Las Vegas Stars at the time, he cracked his bat and gave it to me at the end of the game while I was trying to get autographs. It meant a lot to me and I followed his career all the way to the end. I still have that bat and a number of signed cards of his.

1 Jr. and 2 Randy Johnsons! Good box. Like watching the high end stuff opened. 1 card per box. Also like the topps 70s and early mid 80s. Thanks, and great job on the vids!

I opened Multiple cases back in 89. Here is a FACT. U can go to the middle (5th pack down) of any row, open it and check the card number of the rookie. If it’s card number #3 for example, 2 packs away will be Griffey. Either 2 packs up or 2 packs down. Hope this makes sense.

@WaveofCards

Exactly. Which is why with multiple Luis Medinas showing up, and only one Griffey, it's a fact this box was mapped and backfilled (they just missed the other Griffey).

Great time watching you open these up. I woulda sleeved the Alomar jr rookie and the Smoltz rookie as well. That's just me though. You should go on a Griffey jr rookie card chase. 89 fleer... score traded..topps traded..bowman..just to see if you could hunt them all down bro. Thanks for sharing.

Love your channel your channel and watch every single video. My 1st thought when the 1st box was a 1/1 of your favorite player was that Karma is about to serve such a all around good dude a 🔥 case and sure enough it did just that.. Congrats bro on awesome case of 2020 Cleary Authentic. 😃💯

Nice troll at the end there! Lmao, Gained a sub.

Always love the comedy cutaways

The Fake Out Music is the best 😄😄

There were so many of these printed in 1989 that convenience stores carried them, not just baseball card stores. They were 99 cents per pack and could be found at 7-11, Circle K, QuikTrip, among many others. I had at least ten Griffey’s and four sets that I had built as a twelve year old kid. They are hardly scarce, but it is still the most iconic set of the 1980’s. Will I pay $300 for a box now, when they were half that just six months ago? No way!

Didnt want to put aside the John Smoltz rookie?

This was the first pack that was sealed that it was hard to repack the cards. Also the guarantee of no doubles in a pack. Yet I did get a pack from my LCS that did.

Well u got one! That’s good. Thought you’d score at least 2. Nice video!

Lol Pete Incavilia. When I was a kid at Tiger games I used to yell “Stinky Inky!” at him.

No one EVER pulled 10-15 Junior out of a box. I've seen hundreds of these box opened, most I ever saw was 4 😂

Favourite year collecting...1986. First year collecting cards. Just moved to the US after living in France & the UK. I had no clue about anything baseball, but collecting helped me understand the sport. Although while I love baseball as a sport, I love cricket more as a bat and ball sport.

Great video

Nice rip ,you mentioned Bruce Benedict his Father was my highschool baseball coach keep up the great videos

This is a nice set

Man I remember when I was a kid opening these boxes and Griffey was always hard to pull
