My mother bought me this same box in 1977 for Christmas. I opened every one of them and loved it!!!

[benjaminsmith]

Great video on How to turn $6000 into $500. Prices for these “unopened wax boxes “ are ridiculous. Even if you found every key card I don’t see how you could break even.

Back in 1977, I remember paying 10 cents a pack for these at Walgreens by my house. They were never priced and the ladies at the register would say, "Well, 10 cards and 1 cent per card, so 10 cents".

I think it's awesome to see these old packs opened and to pull an Andre "The Hawk" Dawson fresh out of the pack is really awesome!! But.... the packs were basically $170 a pack for a chance to pull a big card!! I bought a BVG 7.5 NM MT Dawson rookie for just under $50!!

Breaks like this remind me of my childhood. Running into the gas⛽⛽station⛽⛽ with my change to buy 2 or two packs of cards. 1977 had a really cool design as well. The team name across the top of the card in big letters. This was one of my favorite designs looking back now. The 1978's weren't bad either with the fancier cursive writing. The 1972 cards were also at the top of my list. But oh the all black cards from 1970 was it. Those were great but you NEVER EVER saw a completely mint card. The 70's bring back the "golden age" of card collecting for me. The 80's were also part of that, but you could see how the hobby was going downhill. Now I'm critical of these new boxes, cases, packs, that can run hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Just on the off chance of a 1/1 refractor card, or a autograph card, or maybe a Auto & Game worn patch insert card, again 1 of 1 or even 1 of 5? Back in the 1970's we just wanted our team. Our favorite players. Robin Yount, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, Gaylord Perry, in 1978 Paul Molitor's rookie card with was it Alan Trammell as well? Those days had some ICONIC players. Carl Yastrzemski, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, again so many more. Nowadays card collecting has gone from a normal standard kids hobby to a insanely high priced game of cat and mouse. You could say it's an investment. In many cases you'd be correct. Your betting some major money that a pack of cards, or a particular player or set, series or specialty card, insert or autographed card will be worth 5x's, 10x's, or maybe even 100x's the original value.

I had such a great time watching this! 1977 was the first year I collected baseball cards and I wish I had taken better care of them. My brother gave me two packs of 1977 baseball cards unopened for Christmas one year. No big stars out of any of them, but they were a joy to receive.

I do understand that the less and less of these that are left, the higher the price will go, but 6 grand is a stretch for that.
For the actual love of the hobby, growing up in the 80s, I wish I had the money to just buy one for the joy of opening it.
I remember coming across boxes of these cards at yard sales in the early 80s. Shoeboxes full, unsleeved, all in rubber band bricks, and I would still buy them because I liked how that specific set looked.
Great opening. Sad it cost that much to see, but really fun to watch, and Im sure you got some joy from it.
As a little kid it was so cool to see the autograph printed on, it was nice to see those again.

When I was a kid I walked into my LCS with $10 of my hard earned saved up allowance and I was looking at a few packs to buy when the vintage display caught my eye, as it always did. I've always loved vintage stuff that was just a tad before my time and the owner always noticed it. So that day he said that there was a sudden drop in prices in some of the cards I was looking at and he pretty much had to sell them right away...a George Brett and Nolan Ryan (record breaker). He said he'd give me both for $10 total even though he was normally selling them for ~$50 combined. Of course I leapt at that. His generosity allowed me to get 2 of my all-time favorite cards for a steal. Ok, so they aren't *that* valuable since they weren't mint condition or anything, but as a kid it was like I just won Mega Millions. I treasured those cards and they were always the top cards on my collection. I still have them. There's just something about vintage stuff that hits different. Now I do think that $6k for this set is wayyy overpriced, and it definitely looks like it was built with various packs from here and there, but it's still a super fun set to open. I just don't think the price justifies it because you can go out and buy the best cards and pretty much still have lots of money leftover. That's just my personal opinion, and I do love seeing these opened, but BBCE really monopolizes and pumps up the price of these like crazy and the prices will only continue to rise as the population goes down.

Man, I’m confused. How can this box be worth anywhere near $6000 when the top four cards you can get out of this box in a PSA 10 don’t even sell for 3000 total. I don’t get it.?

[amgelotasios]

I remember when I was a kid going to the store buying these packs brings back great memories

[ofSeptember]

Royster. Thats an interesting pull. He was actually in the dugout for both Aaron's HR record and Pete Rose hit record.

[brianlund]

Jim Gantner was a part of a great Brewers infield. My family got to know him as we put in his pier on Beaver Lake in Hartland Wisconsin. He was a great guy to talk baseball with. He lived just down the road from my great aunts home. Next month my great aunt will be 105 and still living on her own.

[Buckery]

Should've went clockwise opening the packs imo. That way Michael Coleman doesn't have to take the brunt of every pack with the indented edges. Just my 2c.

[timothymull]

I’ve been waiting anxiously for this for a while! I love the vintage breaks! Please do more!

[ohioarrowheads]

My God Michael, I feel for you. Nearly $1800 spent on 10 packs and your best card was a $10-20 Joe Morgan.

[kurt]

1977 box 33:20 the pack was clearly a reseal gum stains on both sides of the cards and half were flipped the wrong way. I would love to see what Bbce says about that

[TwoPyramid]

I liked the Boog Powell and Robin Yount cards from that set.

[jasonkeener]

July 4 1977 is the day I was born. This is going to be so cool. I hope you get a awesome rookie.

[jonnydanger]

This is the coolest thing ive watched! as a 9 year old kid from Chicago back in 1977 was my first year watching baseball and collecting cards, I was at Ben Franklin dime store with my step sister and bought a pack and in it was George Mitterwald Cubs and im super excited and then Manny Trillo Cubs and now this is the greatest thing ever! 👍 ⚾️

[joem]

It looks like the Don Aase might always precede Tom Murphy on the sheet.

It’s also interesting that the packs on the top of each stack have molded gum, but the ones at the bottom seem to have dry break-away gum.
