Today I am opening an authenticated sealed cello box of 1981 Topps Baseball Cards. The top rookie cards in the set are Harold Baines, Tim Raines, Kirk Gibson and Fernando Valenzuela/Mike Scioscia. Would we find any of them? Check it out and see.

1981 Topps were the first cards I ever bought as a kid. The only place near me that had them was a local deli. BMX bikes with friends for a sammich, candy, and cards became a regular thing that year. I remember trading a Henderson for a Rose, my buddy was so honest that he wanted to make sure the Henderson was not a rookie card before he allowed the trade to be final. And as an update, he is still a good guy to this day, and I still have the Rose card to this day as well.

I always loved the big hat set! most '80s topps are great. I'm not much for 85 though. Awesome to see these being opened. I remember opening 83, but not 81 or 82 back then.

The very 1st baseball cards I ever owned. I traded my neighbor Voltron for 2 shoe boxes full of these back in the early-mid 80's.

Awesome break man. 1981 was the year I began collecting baseball cards. Of course sold all I had in the mid-80's (kept loose in a big brown box, of course) at a yard sale for $8 (along with original Star Wars cards). Hey, that was a lot of money to a kid back then! LOL 🤣

A very nice cello box of a beautiful card set.. This brings me back when I was 8 years old and was my first year collecting baseball cards. My mom bought me a 1981 rack pack from a Ben Franklin store in Michigan at that time and I was hooked collecting since that day. I sadly ruined the checklists and team cards by using pen marks to see who I had acquired. Overall I enjoy this Topps set.

Love your videos, but boy did you screw up with that Dave Martinez call.... LOL. Keep the videos coming man, we enjoy watching them! Love these 1981 Topps cards too..... I was in middle school in 1981 and remember buying packs with my lawn mowing money.... If I recall correctly, I could buy a few packs and some candy bars for a dollar. Such a worry-free and innocent time.... Playing little league, buying packs, and watching TWIB (This week in Baseball with Mel Allen) was all I needed!

Always loved this set. At one of the first card shows that I went to as a kid in the early 90s I bought a Mookie Wilson / Hubie Brooks / Juan Berenguer rookie card for $.50 and thought I made out like a bandit.

@terryducote 5 жыл бұрын

Its amazing how many complete games Fernando had in '86. 34 starts and 20 complete games. And btw he racked up 21 wins. You probably would not get 20 complete games from the entire league combined. I missed the work horse pitcher like Nolan, Rodger, and Maddux. I have a great memory with my uncle watching that Kirk Gibson homerun.

@TheChoochooboy99 5 жыл бұрын

I love 81 Topps but let’s be real. There just aren’t very many cards of note in this set. If it wasn’t for the grading industry this would still be a $40 box. That’s great for investors but sucks for the casual collector who wants to build their own set from wax and cello.

@hebner44 5 жыл бұрын

Completely agree. Watching this vid validates the question I had when upgrading my complete 81 set a few years ago, "why are there so many miscut cards"? Wonder if the run for cellos was done after the standard wax pack printing....cause the guys running the cutting machine had a pretty rough go!
