I remember opening 1981 packs as a kid. I was 11 at the time. Me and some of my friends would go collect aluminum cans from the parks and neighbors and then recycle them, and with the money we would go down to 7-11 and buy packs of these cards (yes 7-11 use to sell Topps baseball packs) . I still have mine to this day. Fun throwback!

1981 Topps are the first baseball cards I remember opening. I love those hats in the corner of the cards.

In first grade I collected these cards. It was the first exposure to baseball and football cards and I memorized every stat of every player of religiously. Just seeing the faces brings me back to my childhood. 1981 set. I collected for years after, but none stay indelibly Stamped on my mind like 81 baseball and 79 nfl

This was the very first set I put together as a kid. I was 10 years old when this came out.

1981 was the first year i started collecting. Topps Rak packs were the first cards i started with.

Going through some of my old cards I bought in 2008 and I found a 2008 topps update Max Sherzer sleeved up in perfect condition. Been in the box for 14 years. They're going for $100 raw but thinking about getting it graded since it's in great shape.

Totally trust Steve Hart, very competent and never makes wild guesses on authenticity.

Thanks for the memories. I started collecting in 1980. My older cousin started me in the hobby. He started in the mid 70's. Sadly, my 1980 and 1981 Topps were damaged in a move and my little brother using what remained to build forts for his Army men. I've forgiven him since then. I'm still a fan but luckily I took care of my other cards from 1983 to the mid 90's. Always a pleasure watching your channel.

Funny how you passed right over Pete LaCock! Best baseball name I like how that era of Topps baseball cards are all pointing the same direction and not backwards, sideways, upside down, etc.… I also wish would they would bring back that card stock.

Happy Birthday Gaylord Perry, and you pulled his card! I never really cared for '81 sets, but since the card industry is booming again they're getting more of my attention. Still seems kinda pricey for a 1981 Topps box, but, 40+ years old, can only go up! Some nice pulls !

[Mike_McLaughlin]

Nice.. I love this set. I'm working on completing this set, it was the year I was born.

[GreenBayPack]

Lifting the top to reveal the packs is like peeling the plastic of a new electronic device, but even better 🥰. Love it, thanks to you and all the sponsors for sharing this.

This is the first year I collected baseball cards as a kid and I bought the heck out of these packs! I even talked my mom into buying a whole 36 ct. box, promising to do chores for packs. Man that was hard to see that box setting there and not being able to open the packs!!

[danielkriefall]

Really enjoyed the box, I graduated h.s. in 1981. Saw alot my Brewers in there, meet Aaron, Stormin Gorman, Yount, Molitor and Rollie. Thanks for the amazing break sir.

1st year I bought packs of cards was in 1981 when I was 10. Love it!

[legrandfromage]

Haha I swear every first pack between 79-84 was a Jerry Remy, 2B, Red Sox. Good times. Loved that year of cards with the little hats on them. They even depicted "square" hats for the Bucs.

[CrazyLG]

These were the first pack of cards I ever opened up! I remember the last 2 cards to complete the set was Amos Otis and Expos future stars with Raines. Had to trade a Reggie Jackson to a friend for both

[marklendhurst]

After 41 years I got this set today. Like all the other kids my age I too purchased these at a little neighborhood store. I didn't necessarily care for the design back then but I love them now. Kind of like the 1981 football set that design didn't thrill me either but I knew even as an 11 year old they looked better than the 1980 cards. It seems with the 82 Topps football set and baseball set the quality got better. That's when I started delivering papers to earn my own sports cards but the 1981 cards were the first ones I bought. I went back and got all my football sets from the 1980s but this is the only baseball set I will purchase. The Fleer and Donruss sets were horrible. Thankyou B& B sports cards.

[MintFinkeldove]

Great looking cards in that well preserved box.
