I have several of these cards. I started collecting (again) around 1980. I had a collection as a kid, mostly 60's cards, and gave them away. I stumbled upon a card show as a 30 year old and I couldn't believe what I had given away. So I started collecting again and built up a decent collection. 🙃 Some day I am going to get motivated and go through them and sort them out. Maybe find out what they are worth. I do have a sentimental attachment to them.

The Jack Buck call was good. But nothing could compare to watching that game live in 1988, when I was 9. Hearing Vin Scully build that at bat pitch by pitch until it's ultimate conclusion of Gibson's homerun. I still get goosebumps when I see that ball jump off of Gibson's bat on that 3-2 backdoor slider.

The thing with Nolan Ryan is he’s an all time great and like all of those old time greats their cards don’t have to be rookies to be big collectables.

I think I may have some of the Randy Johnson Donruss cards in my garage. I remembered having a (just about) complete set of the '89 collection, but like a lot of people, felt overwhelmed when everyone and their aunt started producing cards.

That is for the memories. Like approximately 108% of kids I collected heavily from 1986-1990. But this list brought a smile to my face as I remembered having many of these cards and was able to watch with my 12 year old daughter and show her the cards. I know I had the Jr. Bowman and remember trading it to a friend of mine. But I might still have one. I also got the 1986 Topps Traded set for my birthday. Mostly I wanted the Wally Joyner card but was willing to take the Canseco, Bonds, Jackson, et al. if that had to be so.

Loved watching ... brings me back to being a kid in the late 80's for sure ... I agree that a list without Tiffany would be more relevant for almost everyone (i have 1 topps Tiffany... orel hershiser... dont remember how I got it but I was always told tiffanys are 10X the value of regular topps (?) )

Of course can't get any retail,but there is a store called second hand Sam's that a friend has a booth with just about any thing from the 50s to the present. He has a Satchel Topps that he is asking 200$ for. Looks good,just a little corner wear. Piece Chris!

I feel like Beckett kind of screwed me over as a kid... For a long time they didn't list the "traded" sets as RCs, but called them "XRC's" so me and my friends didn't think they were rookie cards. So of course I collected the ones from the regular Donruss and Topps sets that aren't worth much anymore!

stumbled onto this video today. My Youngest Son and I started collecting these cards in the early 80's. I cant remember the exact year we started, now after watching this video i want to get them out. They have been in storage for years. I dont even know if my Son still has his. He ended up joining the service in the early 90's, at a much older age than most young ppl join. He did very well, he was with the 3rd Infantry division who first went into Iraq for that war. He took care of all the weapons for them, and his vehicle he rode in, armored, was kept back in the line, and well protected. He came home eventually, but was in one of time/life magazine called 21 days to Iraq. He then started teaching weaponry at our local base here in Wi. He earned many certificates, and was trained in many different jobs he held. He had framed certificates that covered all of one wall in his large study. He really enjoyed teaching there at that base. But the work he had to do in Iraq caught up with him, and he separated from the Military employment. But it didnt stop him from going to school. He is in the last page's of that Time/Life magazine, he is pictured with one other, and they were tasked to do what we would find very hard to do as citizens/non military, and that work came back to haunt him in later years. It is a picture, their backs only, and they are just following orders, tagging and Identifying. Now I want to get those cards out and remember a better time with him as a teenager, the fun we shared with those baseball cards. They have been well stored. Should all be in good condition. All bought new.

Great video, Chris. I know the Tiffany cards bring rarity, but the fact that they could not be pack pulled has always been a sticking point for me personally.

Tiffany's were not for sale in 82-91 the years of production. They were given to certin people that Topps thought deserved them such as hobby shops, advertisers, employees, and dealers. 1984 only had 10,000 boxes produced from Ireland. Don't know why the show's even put a Tiffany card price up. 99,% of collectors don't even own 1. I know I don't after 55 years of collecting.

Looking at the numbers Bonds and Canseco belong in the HOF. Jackson probably would have had he just played baseball. Murphy probably belongs there too.
