I would rank this one the most attractive set of the 80’s as well. Followed by 1984 Fleer and then 1985 Donruss.

Side note: even the card backs are amazing. For some reason the pastel color really works with this set.

This was myfavorite set of the 80s.

I’m not sure about these “authenticated” boxes!

The 84 Mattingly Donruss card goes for $30 ungraded in a local store in my hometown. Sharp looking card.

I don't do much with cards any longer, but love watching pack breaks,  I always liked the 84 donruss, along with 84 fleer update and 90 leaf.

'84 Donruss set was incredibly popular during the mid 1980s.  Remember it well.  (The '84 Fleer "update" set was also extraordinarily trendy.)

This was a cool design... 1984 was a great year... Tigers won the World Series... what a great year for my city with a NCAA hockey title, townie Scottie Hamilton winning the skating gold, and our high school (and my brother) taking the state hockey title... also a Legion baseball title for myself -- fun to remissness... love 1984

Awesome video. When I was collecting this was a very rare series. The '84 Donruss with the Mattignly rookie was very much sough to after, but a little five-and-dime near my house sold them, and I bought them out every time I got my my paper route money. I probably had a dozen Mattinglys and the other highly sought after cards in that series, and even put together a complete set from way packs, which is not easy. This brings back memories. I enjoy watching you open old packs. Takes me back in time.

this is whats called a potpourri box.  bunch of loose packs to make a full box.  that is why unopened box from a sealed case is a premium.  what happens is that a fresh box, the packs get opened.....the mattingly card gets hit....the likelihood of hitting another mattingly in that box is very unlikely, so the remaining packs stay unopened and sold off or mixed in with other packs to make a full box again.  i didn't like seeing so many of the common doubles.  i remember this year in donruss which had good distribution of not getting too many duplicates from a single box.

Been waiting for this one, well done. Remember we couldn't find these packs anywhere until we stumbled upon a box at Rite Aid , downtown Wheeling, WV. It was an exciting day to say the least.  It's funny how certain cards bring back such vivid memories. Thanks.

glad to see you got that john wathan card..

I've never seen those before.  Very cool design.

I bought a lot of these packs back in 84. Never got a mattingly.

Just think when someone opens a current box of cards like you just did 35 years from now just to put it on a shelf to look at.

That Boggs was gorgeous! Very excited for the 79 next week!!

Yeah the Cards were crazy fast with Vince Coleman & Mcgee in old video games to steal bases.

Love these cards.  Second only to the 1983 Topps design of the '80s for me.  I really like a lot of the photos and the Rated Rookie label.  Thanks Erik, thoroughly enjoyed this break.

I was a Huge Kevin McReynolds Fan when he was a Met!! Quiet but he got things done! Great Baseball Player!!

Thumbs up on this one. Appreciate you sharing this box rip that many of us just don't have the guts to open.

nice!! early 80s baseball cards were the best, these were my favorites, i'm so glad to see you do this box tonight, finally!! thanks!! about to watch it & see what you get... i have great memories of late nights rippin thru these boxes, making my sets..

81-85, i love all those sets even tho that 81 donruss is cruddy, it’s so terrible it’s great, like a B movie...

i think i was four cards shy of having the full 84 donruss set.. i had a job that summer and extra cash for boxes of cards- topps, fleer & donruss, but i think i bought more donruss than anything that year... in 83 i bought more topps & fleer, 82 was more topps & donruss, 81 was mostly topps

good times..
