Very cool! Tough to grade this set with that black border! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!⚾️

Thanks for watching and commenting! I think the black border makes these tough to grade, as does the "typical" centering of these times.

Thanks - the 1986 are always fun, was a good year.

I am in the process of grading a bunch of these cards, hitting 8.5 and 9's but no tens. I see you mentioned jimmy key, who i have a miscut card. Actually the whole sheet he was on is miscut, its like a puzzle. Is there any value on miscuts? I heard about the blue streak, was curious if any other "errors" are valuable.

Usually miscuts are seen as "problem cards." Grading companies see miscuts as off center. Missing ink, such as the NNoF Frank Thomas (and others from the same year) and the "no black" 1982's are seen as rare errors by collectors and grading companies. Also the 1989 Randy Johnson fleer with the varying degree of the Marlboro sign as well as the Ripken FF, and other modifications. Reverse negatives, corrected (Juan Gonzalez and Dale Murphy) are also seen as "good" error cards to find. There are more, but those are the first that come to mind. Stay away from the "missing dot" cards as they are usually not seen as anything good.

@@BunklesWorld thanks, yea I am aware of those others. I have the 1989 fleer cards but the lesser value ones. The 1986 Topps miscuts I thought were cool. I almost feel like grading them to display, since you can't see any card fully without the rest around them.

@@homeroscollection I say it often in videos: rip em, flip em...collect what YOU love! Maybe I don't say it enough, but it's very true. What appeals to you, what you find cool - that is what YOU SHOULD collect. Nothing more, and nothing less 🙂 Sometimes we might get cards to flip them out, to get what we might want for our PC's which is a different story altogether, and I try to flip out many many cards! One of my personal goals is to do the run of sets from 72-89 only Topps base which is my early childhood through 21st b'day, and highlights what my biggest collecting years were. And maybe expand out from there with other years and brands - but that's me. I won't slab them, because that's not "me." But to each their own! You need to find what gets you 🙂 whether it is a player, team or whatever. God bless, and thanks for the followup comment!

@@BunklesWorld you are 100% correct. I am collecting from 86 to 96 because those years were special to me. If you should need anything from 86 to 89, let me know. I think I have 3 complete sets of each. I am slabbing cards, just cause I want to display them at home. I have a website for my collection of currently slabbed cards. Thanks for the content, I will keep watching a supporting you.

I agree! Some of the prices people paid for scrubs is incredible. Hope it was set builders, at least for them it might mean something! Thanks for the comment

This is so dumb. I hate what these charlatans have do to the hobby.

LOL - I am guessing you are talking about PSA - or are you calling out all of the "subjective" slabbing companies? I remember way back in the early 90's, when I saw PSA slabs at shows, I thought it they were ridiculous, similar to what was going on with coins. I sent cards in for slabbing recently - which are all intended for resale, and in that, I will of course try to get the best price I can - so I can build my PC, which is all "raw." Maybe, someday when there is a fully transparent grading company, with standards a collector like me could follow I might go for it personally, but I don't see that happening. Thanks for the comment, and sorry for the rant LOL!

@@BunklesWorld Yes, and no... Specific to this video... And I have no doubt you did your research; this isn't about the CONTENT, but... I'm sorry, there is NO REASON that Dave Van Gorder, Ted Power or Chuck Cottier should have ANY value at all, let alone be among the most "valuable cards in the set." I mean... SURE, '86 was a pretty crappy set for Topps. (I remember: I completed it buying packs!) But the only reason for the low PSA-10 population (1) for some of these cards is because WHO THE F🤬 IS BOTHERING TO GRADE A 1986 DAVE VAN GORDER?! That's just dumb. The Coleman rookie, the Fielder rookie? Fine. Gwynn, Ryan, Ripken, Rose, Clemens, Gooden... I get it. CHUCK COTTIER?! WHO THE F🤬 WENT AND GRADED THAT?! And how would be deranged enough to pay $450 for it?! That's INSANE. The card is WORTHLESS. I don't care what condition it's in. All these companies have done is make it next to impossible to determine what a card is actually worth WITHOUT THEIR INPUT. Mint used to mean just that: MINT. If I saw any flaws, it wasn't mint and we would negotiate. That was part of the hobby. Now it's all a damned racket. They created a market for stuff where there really shouldn't be one. They made themselves essential in a hobby where they were never needed. I mean... FINE, again... If you have a collection that worth INSURING? And the insurance company wants an expert to value it? FINE. Makes sense. But all this paying for a grade? Insane. The only good thing? It's lowers the price of raw cards for people like me who refuse to play their game. So thank you for that. But I have an '86 Topps Dave Van Gorder, and I certainly am not goinf to pay $566 for5 one that an "expert" says is mint. I mean... WTF happened to this hobby?!

@@FourFriends-gk8lz I totally agree with you on all that! The only "people" I believe would pay that much for a Van Gorder, Power or similar is someone who REALLY likes the 1986 set, and has the need to have them all slabbed, and all in PSA 10. LOL - definitely not me. Now, on the other hand, if for some unknown reason I send one of those in for grading, and get a 10 - I have no issue selling it to someone who HAS to have it, and want to pay what "they" think it's worth to them. Would it be worth it to you - no. Me - DEFINITELY not! And - I agree, but with detail...what happened to the hobby - the amount of $$ which shady people found could be made off the hobby which I believe started during the Junk wax era.

@@BunklesWorld The issue of CONTERFEIT cards is definitely a problem. Especially as the counterfeiters get better at their craft. But in 1986 having a "mint 1986 set" just meant that all the cards would look fresh from pack. This whole grading thing... It creates new markets, which is ABSOLUTELY good for the $$$ side of things... Like you say... The are "people" out there who (apparently) was a SLABBED, PSA-10 1986 Topps set. Can't imagine WHY, but before grading came along, no such idea existed. The problem... or WARNING that I would give... Let's not be too hasty to say that "more $$$" = "better." "MORE MONEY" was why the Junk Wax Era happened. The Companies got greedy and killed the very thing that gave their product value (scarcity) and the CUSTOMERS were all treating packs and boxes like INVESTMENTS at best, and SCRATCH-OFF LOTTO TICKETS at worst, all hoping to score that "big card." The result was that there WEREN'T any really "big cards" anymore. And that same mentality is pervasive in the hobby today, with chase cards (which, looking back at the junk wax era, is probably a GOOD innovation) and GRADING. Half the time you'll pay more for the service than you'll get for the card, because if it's not a *10* then you really don't get much of a boost, whereas back in the day? What is a 7 or better today we'd all just say "mint" and be fine with it. Hobbies are better when they're what you do for FUN, not how you save for retirement. Lol
