 Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's CaseBreaks.com coming out to a 21-22 top. UEFA Champions League, Merlin Chrome Soccer, or Merlin Chrome Soccer UEFA Champions League. Either way, a nice product here. All 12 boxes. Pick your team number 13. All card ship, full hobby case, a lot of nice stuff. These are the list of teams in the break, and then there was a one spot featuring 17 teams. There was a 17 team combo right here. Very big thanks to this group for making it happen on a Monday. Appreciate it. So there's Michael with the 17 team combo. Features a bunch of teams here. It's pretty nice. Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up. I know it took a minute or two to fill this, but I appreciate everyone's patience on it. It was marinating for a little bit. Got little rooftops next to your name. That means you won those teams in that filler we did not too long ago. So thanks everybody. No matter how you got into it, I appreciate it. All right. There's the case right there. Good luck, everybody. Now Jack, Jack B in the chat was vacationing in Spain and Portugal. What do they call that, Jack? The Iberian Peninsula, I believe? What? It's type O, B-Pro. Yeah. Well, maybe after spending all that money on Chelsea. He can't afford trade turners. Can't afford trade turners. I don't think they were ever in on trade turners. He wanted to go back to the East Coast. I mean, they probably said, hey, how about three years, $50 million a year? And he was like, eh, I'll take 37 years and 11 years at $37 million a year. Guaranteed no trade pause. Yeah, but the Iberian Peninsula, Jack was there and then visited Cote Nou, where Barcelona plays, pretty impressive facility, he was saying, got a little tour, but only limited to certain parts of the facility. Oh, but you had to pass on the tour because your wife impatiently wanted to see La Sagrada Familia. Is that still under construction? Hasn't that been under construction for 100 years? I went to Barcelona with that Nick Jaspie's older brother, actually, him and I went to Barcelona many years ago, ran with the Bulls in Pamplona, a little bit, a couple hours away from Barcelona, but spent a couple of days in Barça, went to that big, that marketplace. That was pretty awesome. But missed out on the comp Nou, it just didn't really, just didn't get around to it. I don't know, I don't know why. There's plenty of, you know, there's plenty of, what should we call it, public transportation that gets all the way out there. That public transport in Barça was amazing. There's West McKinney, and there's Alexander Isaac to 275, and oh, what a nice autograph. Hyunmin Sun in his Tottenham gear, knocked out of the World Cup, unfortunately, by Brazil. But I don't think a lot of people expected the Korean team to end up as far as they did, getting out of the group. Chris Lombardo with Tottenham, nice one. And the Sagrada family will be still under construction for the next 100 years? Do they let people inside? I feel like when I went, they had suspended tours inside. There's Leroy Sane to 150. There you go, Chris, congrats. This is for Bayern Munich, EA with Bayern Munich. Marco Verotti, Refractor, Thomas Moeller, Thomas Moeller, I think these are a little more common than I think, but it's still a kill in Nimbope, who has a good chance at winning the Golden Boot in this year's World Cup. There's Suso to 225, there's Leon Mase, and so you were, yes, on the inside tours, okay, did you do the inside tour? I want to do the inside tour. I have to go back. I think this is also a little more, not short print, but it's Cristiano Ronaldo getting a little feisty Cristiano Ronaldo, not getting along with management at Manchester United, not getting along with management on the national team. But yeah, so maybe 150 years because the worker is taking smoke breaks every 15 minutes. I'll do an autograph recap at the end of this break as well. If you have Barcelona, definitely, definitely a place I would go back to. What's the, did you do, I'm trying to think what it's called, oh yeah, Park Guell, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. It has an un lot over the U, I don't know how that's pronounced, but Park Guell, maybe, I went there. That was pretty awesome too. It's kind of nice little park perched upon a hill so you can kind of see, see down into the city a little bit and all the way to the Mediterranean. Also I remember from going out there, I really liked, I think on the beach, yeah, even for me, I remember that, I remember being like, I thought the metro stop would pretty much put us right there and then we're like, oh, we'll walk and then, oh, it's like an uphill climb up a steep street and then climbing other things as well, climbing stairs. But totally worth it. I thought it was great. Here's a Zidane Iqbal rookie silver, here's another rookie right here to 275. If you're, you've got like a bit of an eagle eye and you're wondering, doesn't the numbering look a little different? All these cards are printed in Italy. This is for AC Milan, that's for Michael P in that combo spot. Here comes the autograph and it's Kenneth Taylor for IX. It's also for the combo spot for Michael P. Another thing I liked in Barcelona that I don't think they would ever have here in the United States because we are, we are a very litigious society and I don't even know if they have these in Barcelona anymore but big like rope pyramids and they're big pyramids and they're all ropes and you can climb up them. It's like a kind of like cargo netting but with like thick bungee rope type material. You can climb up and down those things, it's a lot of fun. There's a Frederica Caessa for Juve to 99, it's also for the combo spot but those things are, those things are pretty fun to climb. There's a Filsch and there's Jeremy Doku to 199 for Stadia Renae. That's for Anthony. I feel like if they put those in like beaches in the United States some kids gonna fall off the top, break their arm and they'll sue and they'll also get torn out. Maybe they don't have those. How was the, how was the flight there and back? Was that alright? I feel like there, I feel like there have been some, some international flight horror stories that happen sometimes like especially just, especially coming out of the pandemic. A lot of people want to fly again but not all airlines are fully, you know, are at full employment capacity and so sometimes issues with service or missing bags, stuff like that. That reminds me, I got to get, I got to renew my passport. Maybe put a, maybe put a JASPY's branch in Barcelona. I'll have to brush up on my Español. I might have to learn Catalan or Basque, whatever the language is. The Catalan's the region, Basque is the language. Maybe set up in Ibiza instead. Going there was okay. Connecting flight from New York back to San Diego was terrible. It's a shame. Sadio Mane 105 out of 150. Still Liverpool addition here. Daniel with that one. And we've got Crepe and Diata for Monaco. A light touch on the, with the pen there. That's going to go to, Monaco probably is a combo team, right? Did we sell it out really? Oh no, we did sell it out, right? With Monaco, there you go. On the board with an auto. Oh, no leg room. Yeah, that's, it's been an issue. Seats are getting, seats are getting smaller. There's Pedri 81 out of 199 and yeah, unless you're willing to, to pay for, that gets expensive on a, on a long flight, right? Paying up for like first class or for like in between first class and main cabin. There's Alessandro Zanoli for Napoli. That's part of the combo spot, Michael P. Hi, Havards refractor. And we got a Kyogo for a Hashi, 16 out of 50 for Celtic. That's part of the combo. There's a Hyunmin Son refractor for Tottenham saw his autograph earlier. All right, another box for Chris, Chris is saying you want no leg room, fly spirit. Did that once never again friend as kneecaps on the seat in front of, yeah, I've never flown spirit. I've heard enough horror stories where, where I will, you know, I'll eat the extra cost for a little extra comfort. I don't know how, how you bigger guys do it. I'm a small guy and I feel like the seats are, the seats are kind of tight. I think it might be better for the airline industry though, I think Delta is finally going to figure it out with their, with their pilots and their flight teams. I think they're going to come to an agreement on their wage negotiations between the Union and Delta. And hopefully when that gets settled, I think that'll, that'll set the tone for other airlines and then we'll have happier pilots. I definitely want happier pilots. Well compensated happy pilots are good for the industry. And then everything else will hopefully fall in line. There's Debrunia. Thought that Giovanni Reino would be used more for the American side, but maybe next World Cup. There's Patzen Dacca to 150, Speckle for Leicester. And ooh, nice. Anzu Fati, gold parallel, going to Barca, Allen Murdoch with Barcelona. Got an extra spot and then one Barcelona in the filler and gets the Anzu Fati one out of 50. Nice. Will we see him in action tomorrow? Maybe. I don't know what the schedule is tomorrow. Tomorrow's the sixth, right? Yeah, tomorrow. They're the early match, 7 AM LA, 11 AM, or 10 AM East Coast. There's Allen, congrats. That Spain team is pretty stacked. All right, a couple of rookie refractors here. There's Asher Vrancek for Wolfsburg. That'll be for the 17 team combo. There's Felix Afenagayan for Roma. That'll be for the 17 team combo, Michael P. We've got Robert Lewandowski, 74, I-75. And a Dane Scarlett for Tottenham, that'll be for Chris. How old is Robert Lewandowski? Was this his last World Cup? I didn't have any. Anyway, that is Byron edition, by the way. That's going to go to EA. Does he have one more World Cup cycle in him? And we've got an Orange under 23 stars Hannibal, 20 out of 25 for Man United. It's going to go to Brian Croft, who won United in that filler. And there's a Killian Mbappe, nice, 98 out of 99. Nice one for PSG, Paris Saint-Germain, that'll be Matt Bristow. You know what? I've been a minute or two since I've done this break. I want to say the Renaissance... I don't think it's one per case. I think it might be a little more short printed than that. Trying to think back. I want to say that not all cases have that Renaissance insert. I don't think we've seen one yet here. Yeah, that's true. Happy pilots are important, but where do you see them getting that money? More people on flights. Well, I don't know. We'll see. More people on flights. Smaller cramped seats. Hopefully better paid pilots mean more people wanting to become pilots. That means more flights. Hopefully the amount of flights won't be static. Hopefully it'll increase the number of flights, which means maybe a little more space on airplanes. Yeah, I remember like pre-pandemic when I would like fly to Vegas, even in like even sort of a busy sort of night. I feel like there would still be regularly five or six seats, like just empty. Not anymore. Now people... Now people... Now sometimes flights are just straight up over a book more often than not. Do pilots get paid worse in teachers? Yeah, unless you have like a decade plus of seniority, I don't think your entry-level pilots are making that much. You probably don't have the best routes. All right, next box. Yeah, Chris saying, from now on, just flying on your deltas like this, the more you pay the better the seat. Right. I agree. That's how most airlines should do it, but I think the more budget airlines have really changed, kind of changed it up. Like Southwest is kind of chaos, right? Or it's just like first come, first serve and whatever seats available you just plop in and nothing's assigned. I can't do the nothing assigned stuff. With 28 out of 150, Ivan Romero is like, hey, this is the seat I bought. Let me choose my seat. I'm an aisle seat guy. Let me choose my seat. And that's where I'm going to sit. Trying to upgrade to first class. Too late, full. Yeah, let's get full pretty fast. Chris Koke, 213 out of 250, Atomic for Atletico Madrid. That'll be for Daniel Smith and Nuno Mendez for PSG. It's for Matt. Picked up PSG straight up and I know it took a little bit of time to fill. We eventually got it, got an autograph out of 99. Thanks for your patience, everyone, in this break. There's an Aster Vrancek, 23 out of 99 for Vulsberg. That's going to go to the 17 team combo, Michael P. One that in the filler. All right, sixth box. That's right, Chris. Yeah, I don't know how people fly on budget airlines. I mean, if you have the means to, especially if you can afford it, if you can't afford it, what are you going to do? I'm glad those budget airlines exist. But if you can afford it, I mean, I don't know why people try to save the extra like 100 bucks or whatever and they'll be like fly with a budget airline. Then they're surprised that they have bad service or a bad experience and it's like, well, I don't think I'd mind a budget airline if it's like an hour flight. If you're going to LA to San Francisco, LA to Vegas or something like that, it's just an hour. I'll grind it out, you know. Who would ever want to have for the matches tomorrow? Morocco, Spain is the early game and Portugal, Switzerland is the late game. The winners of those two matches will face each other in the quarters. I guess if you're going chalk, there's Raheem Sterling to 275. I mean, Spain, Portugal is the easy answer. But who's ripe for the, who's ripe for an upset? Barça autograph, Alejandro Bald. Baldé, Bald. Alejandro for Barça. That's going to be for Alan, rookie autograph. Rookie refractor, Camaldín Sulaimana for Stadia Rene. And there's Myron Badoe for Monaco and Elliot Matazo for Monaco as well, both going to Evan. Chris is skipping ahead to, we'll get to that game in a second. But Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, what do we think there? Is Cristiano Ronaldo not happy on that Portugal team? I feel like, I feel like Spain's going to take care of business against Morocco. But I think Portugal could be ripe for an upset. And there's Dusan Vlaovic to 250, sort of a long shot for Golden Boot. And I put a little, sprinkled a little bit on him. Mm, Grizzlebees Jack saying, hey, don't count out Morocco. Is Spain ripe for the upset? All right, is Cristiano Ronaldo being more of a distraction for that team? And I want to say, I feel like Portugal did not have the most impressive group stage. No, maybe they did, they did score some goals. But I guess that loss to Korea was a little, was a little surprising. All right, next box. Well, I don't know if that's been confirmed. I mean, the offer is out there, Gilo, that Cristiano Ronaldo has offered like some ridiculous amount of money to play in the Saudi League. He's a free agent right now, Cristiano Ronaldo. But yeah, where the Saudis going after next? They got golf, trying to get some soccer. Yeah, maybe they'll go after LeBron. Yeah, Mark saying, watch him come out, CR7 come out and score two. He's definitely capable of that. Yeah, I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo is doing the math. You know, he's like, if I do this, but I run the risk of losing sponsors, how much money will I really lose and will that be offset? Sergio Ramos to 50, there he is right there. Sergio Ramos going to PSG, 38 out of 50, Steven Gerrard, one of my favorite players. There's Felix in Metia, 46 out of 75 for Volsberg. And there's Pedri for Barcelona. There you go, Alan. Yeah, the reality, they're going to buy Major League Baseball, mate. 95 out of 99. There you go, Alan. Paul Pogba, 11 out of 150, Manchester United, Brian. And there's Isaac LeHadji for the Lidl. It's going to go to Nicholas. All right. Next box. I guess we can, so I guess look out for the upset. Morocco, Switzerland, I feel like I could pull off some upsets. Three of the four quarterfinal matches are set. The first quarterfinal match is going to be Netherlands, Argentina. How do we feel about Netherlands, Argentina? Not sure what kind of team Argentina is. Open the World Cup with a clunker, but then did well in the other games. Netherlands do have the exciting Gatbo. That'd be good for the hobby, if Netherlands kept advancing. Chris was saying, and Chris wants to say Brazil, France final. Yeah, so Jack's saying one thing I can't say with Portugal is that young kid Jal Fielish. Oh, yeah. Come on, young guys. He don't need to do that. He's far too talented for a stuff like that. Argentina should go through, but the Orange are a pretty feisty team. That's going to be a good match. All of these are going to be a good match. Croatia, Brazil. You know, everyone thought Croatia, you know, too many players on the wrong side of 30. Nice. There's Jal Bojota, 114 out of 199. For Liverpool, another Portuguese player here. There's Matias Tel for Stadia-René, that's for Anthony. And we've got a rookie Orange, Antonio Blanco, 25 out of 25. Real Madrid, that's for Brian Croft. Yeah, Netherlands, Argentina, Croatia, Brazil, England, France. I mean, those are some great matchups there. And those are bona fide teams right there. Will there be a Cinderella story? I guess Morocco, Switzerland could challenge for the Cinderella story of the World Cup. A lot of big clubs. There's Josep Sanecic, Bayern Munich, 146 out of 225, that's for EA. Rookie Silver for Man United, Anthony Alanga, that'll be for Brian. And there's your autograph. It's Diate again with that light touch on the auto. Monaco, Evan. All right, another box. Netherlands has the players to win the whole thing. Yeah, Memphis, a pie underrated player. Got a good defense too. Center back Virgil van Dijk was on Liverpool, is a big presence. I think in a pool that I'm in, I've got England, Argentina, with England to win. Long as Harry Maguire's on England, you don't trust the team? Yeah, England's consistently quite a frustrating team. A lot of great individual talent. Maybe not Harry Maguire, I don't think club or country, they're big fans. But they got a great team on paper. Sometimes they can sort of frustratingly play a little too conservative at times when they've got the ability and the power to attack. There's Jules Kunde for Sevilla to 99. It's part of the combo spot. Michael P. Here's a rookie refractor for Monaco, Van Dersen for Evan. There's Harry Kane, yeah, guys like him can bang the goals in. There's Liam DeLap to 250 for Man City. And there is, again, refractor. So two different ones there for Mark, Mark L and Manchester City. There's Miquel or Michael, Oriah Zabal, 89 out of 150 for Real Sociedad. It's part of the 17 team combo, Michael P. And Jamie Vardy, Leicester City autograph. Nice, Daniel Smith, 61 out of 99. Won a title with Leicester City, bangs in a bunch of goals. Could be playing for England, but I think he kind of gave up on international duty a little while ago just to keep his body fresh for club. There's a good chance Argentina and Brazil, there's a marquee matchups here. A good chance that Argentina and Brazil meet each other in the semifinals. Which would be pretty awesome. And there's a chance on the other side of the bracket, there's a chance that it'll be either England or France versus Spain or Portugal. Also a marquee semifinal match, both of those matches. You're going to get some great ratings. Yeah, that would be pretty amazing, if it's Argentina and Brazil meeting each other. And if Messi scores a goal against Brazil and leads Argentina to a win. Yeah, that would be pretty impressive. I mean, he already has an excellent resume, but it's Cristiano Ronaldo to 150. And there's the Renaissance card, Jude Bellingham speaking of England. Could make his way to the Premier League in the summer transfer window. Maybe the Liverpool, I'd love to see him on Liverpool. Real, really great player, keep an eye on him in that England-France match. This is Dortmund edition, Borussia Dortmund, that's for Daniel Smith. There you go, Daniel. Nice, Jude Bellingham. Cristiano Ronaldo goes to Bryan and Man United. Rookie Silver, there's Luca Romero, Lazio, part of the combo. And it's Coque, Atletico Madrid to 1.99, that'll be for Daniel. You've heard links between Jude and Real Madrid. I'm sure a lot of people are after this signature. Although if Liverpool, if they do not, having a weird season, if they don't make, if they don't get a Champions League spot, that's going to seriously endanger their chances to get Jude Bellingham. There's Nico Gonzalez, 35 out of 50. And there's Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers. Not the Rockies prospect, but the coach, Leicester City Daniel Smith with that. Bayern Munich, Stanisic, rookie refractor. Two boxes to go, I think so too. I think they really should have focused on improving the midfield in the summer transfer window. Darwin Nunez has been great, but they should have looked at a little more, shoring up that midfield a little bit more as well. I think that cluster injuries, they had a big cluster of injuries to the midfield and to their attack, and that didn't really help at all. I know all teams deal with injuries, but that's just part of it. They'll have to figure it out, they'll have to adjust. Right, and the World Cup being smacked in the middle of most domestic seasons, that's going to be interesting to see how players recover coming back. A couple teams up for sale, ladies and gentlemen. Have a good night, sir. All right, see you, Michael. How's it going, man? I think the Glazers are exploring options to sell the team. I think they have some bank or whatever, to start looking at options of maybe selling the team. I think their tenure was running the team. I don't think their fans have really liked it. Liverpool as well, my club, owned by FSG are also exploring a sale option. I don't know if they're going to sell it entirely. They might if they get the right offer, I think, but I think they're looking to maybe sell part of the team, if not all, and give up a controlling interest in it. So we'll see what happens. See you, Jonah. All right, there's Liam Dalat, 14 out of 99. And we've got Benoit Badiashil, Monaco. That's going to be for Evan. Dalat will go to Man City, that'll be for Mark. But football clubs aren't cheap, though. Only so many people in the world who can afford those teams. Look at the price that Chelsea went for. Timo Werner, blue parallel, a little color match. 66 out of 75 for Michael P. and Chelsea. So that's going to put a pretty big price tag on teams like Manchester United. Ooh, wow. Ageless Alchemy autographed Lionel Messi. Paris Saint-Germain. Wow. Ooh, that's a great time to get this. Matt Bristow with PSG. Took a minute or two to fill this break. Three out of 25. Took a minute to fill this break, but we got it done. Nice one. Great case. There's Jan Pacheco for Real Sociedad, 76 out of 199. Last box. Well worth the wait, I think, this case. Pretty amazing. Just marinating. Those hits were just marinating. They're waiting, waiting to be pulled by us for you. Thanks, everyone, for getting in. I think when we started this break, we only had one team left. Now it's sold out. Nice. So we're going to take a quick little break after this box, refuel a little bit. When we come back, it's looking like that Prism World Cup will be the very next break. I don't think I see anything else sold out. Final box coming up, thanks, everybody. Good luck. We got Jonathan David for Lille. That's a nice rookie card right there. That's the Canadian star in this club gear, Nicholas with Jonathan David. And there's Romelo Lukaku for Chelsea to 275. It'll be for Michael. We've got a Marco de Graça for Juve, rookie refractor. Juventus is part of the combo. Ivan Romero, rookie green, 95 out of 99. And the last autograph, Nico Gonzalez for Barcelona. And that is for Alan Murdoch. Got randomized Barcelona. Had a pretty nice break. Got Harvey Barnes, 216 out of 275. And Sadio Mane for Liverpool at the end. What a break, ladies and gentlemen. Still a quick little recap here. Got Brennan Rogers, Jamie Vardy. We got the Mbappe green. We got the gold Anzou Fati. We have the Hyunmin Son, the Lionel Messi, the Jude Bellingham case hit, the Renaissance insert. Really nice case. Thanks for getting into it, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Joe for jaspyscasewrakes.com. And I'll see you next time for the next footy break. Bye-bye.
