LOVE THIS VID! I've watched it many times and I have begun to build my own set. I decided on 1988-89 Fleer Basketball and follow your 1986-87 model! Pick up all stars graded 9 then go on for the base set. So far Ive got the Pippen,Barkley, Bird and Jordan sticker! Keep on collecting!
@kmj2318 Hi there and thanks for watching my video and for your question. The industry has changed a lot over the years. From the mid 50's until the early 80's there was primarily only one baseball card company -- Topps, and they only produced ONE set each year!. Before Topps in the late 40's through mid 50's there was also Bowman. Bowman also only produced one set each year. You can try doing a google search to find a write-up on the history of the baseball card industry!!
@dzolot By the way, my response was in reference to baseball cards, not basketball cards. Basketball has had a more limited supply of cards over the years...
@carlzson299 Ha! I don't doubt it! The 25 cents is actually the price per pack when the product came out, not the full box. Still a great deal, as packs go for like $40 bucks these days!! Anyway, thanks for checking out my video!
@johnburris Hey there. the 57-58 topps set is one of the greatest vintage basketball sets in the hobby! Great looking cards and an incredible line-up of HOF players from that era. I try (although it's hard) to focus my attention on specific projects. Right now in basketball, I'm going for the 61 fleer set with Wilt Chamberlain's rc. I'm trying to get it in psa 7/8 level condition. In fact, I don't even have a single 57-58 card! Hopefully one day I can get some...
@shaqdiesel0032 oh man... not really looking to sell. I think the MJ alone goes for $1,400 ish these day son eBay . If you're really interested, make me an offer!!
@austin3370 Those top loaders are around. Try searching eBay for tall boy or tall top loader. Or you can usually find them at a local card show. good luck!!
hu? what basketball set? There's two sets in this video. one is the 86/87 fleer set and the other is the 69/70 topps "tall boy" set. Hope that answers your question!
it saddens me to see the tall boy set i had started workin on the set when i was 13 with my unlce he gave me alot of the key cards to the set. long story short completed the set even aquired beat up pack this was all pre ebay like 92 ish. some idiot broke into my house and stole a bunch of my celtics gear. grabbed a havlicheck a separate russel and cousy... after that i lost the urge to complete my 50 greatest of all time rc set. long story short never trust people around ya cards
Wow!! Thanks for the story. Sorry it turned out that way. I have heard too many stories like this, which finally (after a lot of pushing from my wife too ; ) convinced me to put the bulk of my collection in a security box at the bank!!
Ya, definitely two awesome cards!! I've been looking to pick up a 61 fleer graded pack!! The Mikan and erving cards are definitely key!! thanks for watching my vid...
Thanks for watching my video. I would consider it, except I would have to break the grading seal and would be busting the full box. You should go onto eBay though -- i'm sure you can get one there...
i have a bunch of old basketball cards, including a maravich rookie, 71-72 complete set and the 1975-76 complete set. i have around $3000 in basketball cards overall. i am going to trade and sell them, so if any viewers are interested, please message me. i am open to all reasonable offers.
Thanks timothybasset. Mine is in pretty good condition. not graded though, so hard to say for sure. Thanks for checking out my videos and for ur comment. DZ
Do you get your cards graded or purchase them already graded?
I have told you in another post I am not high on graded cards because I believe it creates a hobby within the hobby and inflates prices. But, if that is what you enjoy, more power to you. I just will NEVER buy or have a card graded.
Hi Fit4Life. I purchase cards graded. in fact I have never had a card graded myself. I like buying graded cards because I know they are real, and it takes away the guess work when buying over eBay. As you point out, it is certainly not a perfect proces... Thanks again for all your comments!! DZ
Ha!! I hear ya. not sure how/why it all went down like that, but i agree, i was king of violent with the cards. My wife said the same thing after she saw the video!!! Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. Make sure to check out my other videos - i just posted a video of my 1951 Bowman set!!
It was a lot!! haha... You can pick up a 69/70 set in decent condition for about $700 -- i thinks it's a total bargain!! the 86/87 set was close to $2K, but the jordan is about a grand by itself. the 80/81 box was close to a grand. Thanks for watching my video and for your comment!!
ha!! I'm a total wuss when it comes to busting packs / boxes and usually don't have the guts to do it. I was king of joking when i said i would open it, but if I ever do, i'll post on youtube!!! TFC (thanks for comment)
I like graded boxes because i know the packs have not been tampered with and everything is ligit. If I wanted to bust the box, it's easy enough to cut the plastic open. Thanks for posting a comment!!
