 Hi everyone, Joe for jazby'scasebrakes.com coming at you with 2022-23, Topps Chrome, UEFA Club Competition Soccer, 12 box pickered team number three from jazby'scasebrakes.com. All card ship. And there was a combo team list, but we ran a team random where we pulled those teams out. So you took all the 17 teams out, plus the few remaining teams straight up, and created a little filler there and made that happen. So if you have a little rooftop next to your name, that means you won that spot in that team random. That would be the double rooftops, that means you won an extra spot, then won a team. So all that on Monday, the 3rd, July the 3rd, Independence Day Eve, there's everybody right there. So thank you everyone for getting in once again, and we've got them all alphabetized by team on the right side, so there you go. So Taylor, you actually got last spot mojo with Arsenal before we pulled the remaining teams out. Now what else, I think the main kind of key player that we're looking for in this set, I believe would be, obviously Messi and Ronaldo and Erlan Holland, Julian Alvarez I think is one of the bigger chases here. But all cards ship. It's probably worth, you know, whoever you get, probably worth looking them up and you know, seeing what kind of value they have. So club competitions, obviously talking about all the three UEFA club competitions, Champions League, that's the old big ears, that's the one right there, then the next tear down is UEFA Europa League, and then there's UEFA Europa Conference League, but they recently made the decision, UEFA did, to take out Europa out of there, I guess it's confusing enough already, right? So now it's just UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and then UEFA Conference League. Although Conference League is also confusing because if you abbreviate that, that's UCL, just like UEFA Champions League. If you're abbreviating that, right, it's a little confusing. They should have made it something different. Is that too many competitions? Three different European tournaments? Is that a lot? I mean, if you're like a mid-table team that may not have deep pockets and your club has to go, like, I mean maybe the experience itself is worth that, I don't know how much money Conference League is generating, right? But if they have to go to Eastern Europe, and there's just some small football club in the Midlands, or a mid-table Scottish Premier League team, what if your hearts, and you end up in here, I don't know how much money is being spent on traveling. Did anyone try this Domino's Pizza feature, where you just drop a pin, and they'll go right to that location? It seems interesting. So if I was at the beach, and I'm like, hmm, I'm pretty hungry, but I'm also pretty comfortable at the beach, maybe, you know, could that pizza person walk it all over, all the way to the beach? There's a Cardi Chukwu Emeka for Chelsea. That will be for Jacob. They're doing that at the Ashes in the UK. In the stadium, they're going to walk it right to you. There's Olivier Giroud, Rundogan, and for Leipzig, there's a Kunku in Kunku, 138 out of 150. And that will be for Chris Parent and Leipzig. And we're looking for one autograph per box on average. And there's Samuel Ealing Jr. for Juve, and they'll go to David B. and Juventus, a little happy face right there, too. And we'll do an autograph recap at the end of this as well. Now, I like the rookie card badge that they attach to these cards. So worth looking some of those players up, maybe holding onto them, seeing if they emerge as future stars, like Julian Alvarez, which will go to Man City. That's going to be for Rob. Here's Tammy Abraham for Roma. That's going to go to Brian. I thought that might have been number. It looked like that gold background, but maybe not. And we've got Aqua Wave. Andres, I'm going to try this. Shijeldrup, Shijeldrup, Shijeldurup, Shijeldurup, 184 out of 199 for Benfica. That'll be for Alan. I gave it my best shot here. They can't all be Declan Rice, you know what I mean? And there's Patrick Wallamark, 144 out of 175 for Feyenoord. That'll be for Grant. All right, box one. Nice, Frank says, those PSA 10K Cunningham Lamello rookies I pulled. For Frank, the other night, arrived safe and sound. I love it. Starting a collection of PSA 10 NBA rookies, thanks to Jaspies. You're welcome. Thank you for getting in, Frank. Can't win if you don't play. You play, you got rewarded, and that's a worthy journey to go on, getting a portfolio of PSA 10s in your hobby portfolio. Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, is preseason happening, especially for the English clubs, right? I think Liverpool are in Germany, maybe in a week or so. They're starting preseason. I think if anybody's away on international duty, I think they're going to come back a little bit later. Oh, yeah, sure. For you, Grant, sure. Oh, there's a Garnaccio, even though he's a dirty, dirty mank. I'll do that for you. For you, Grant, not for Garnaccio. As a Liverpool supporter, I'm doing it for you, though, Grant. Not for that. Cornish sources, Christian Polisic to reject Lyon and wants a Milan move instead. Arsenal edge closer to signing Timber. City, readying for a bid for Leipzig's Gavardio. Is Leipzig going to have any players left on that team? Steven Gerrard going to be coaching in Saudi Arabia, after originally saying he wasn't. I think he was waiting for Premier League jobs. I don't think he's getting those Premier League jobs. Athletic go closing in on a as peliqueta deal. United States, we trounced Trinidad and Tobago to win Gold Club Group A. Apparently, the Messi to Miami talks took three years, according to the owners. And Newcastle signing Tonali from Milan on a five-year deal. We spoke of Newcastle as deep pockets now. There's an article saying why Arsenal are betting big on Kai Havertz and Declan Rice for next season. Some good moves for them. In my club, Liverpool signing, I'm not going to sit. Zoba Salai, the Hungarian international. I think he might have some cards in here in his Leipzig gear. So I think Liverpool doing some good business. Might need another center back, maybe. Not sure what else they could, they need. They definitely needed to improve that midfield, refresh that midfield, which they did. Here is Paul Nedvet for Juventus. Let me go to David B. Midfield that they should have refreshed last summer, but better late than never. I think some of the Liverpool youngsters like Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones really took some strong steps forward, which I like. There's Darwin Nunez. He'll be in his second full season. That should be good for him as well. 177 out of 225. Who's got my club, Liverpool? Matthew does. Erling Hollens. All of these will go to Robb in City. Does Harry Kings stay? Who does he go? He's another Colazzo, Garnaccio for Man United. That'll be for Grant. Hobbymaster is a case hit. There's the hobbymaster. Musaela for Byron Munchen. Brian has Byron Munich. The Veraghi goes to Fiorentina. That's going to go to Grant, won that team in the filler. All right, thank you, Robert, for pointing that out. Santiago Jimenez, refined route to 50. Those rookie silvers can take care of here as well. Frankfurt. Gold is always nice. Numbers are always nice. That's to 250. Benfica. Allen. Look at the Morera Jr. All right, next box. ESPN 2 showing Cornhole. Surely there's something else on TV other than this. Maybe some baseball, some regional coverage. I got St. Louis at Miami tied at 2. All right, another box. What's going on? What are the next stages of the, I see. All right, so I guess there's still some group action happening in the Gold Cup. We still need to see group C and D finish up before we see the quarter finals, which start on July 8 in Arlington and then July 9 in Cincinnati. I think I'm on the other side of that, Duncan. I think I'm on the cardinal side of that game. So Jamaica is through to the quarter finals in the Copa de Oro, the Gold Cup. Mexico is through. So Jamaica is waiting on the winner of group D. Mexico is waiting on the runners up of group C. United States waiting on the runners up of group D. And Qatar is in this as well. They are awaiting the winners of group C. Semi-finals are in Vegas and San Diego. And the final is here in LA at Sofi. July 16, what day is that? Is that an off day for me? I don't know how much tickets to a Gold Cup final will be. Next box is another refractor, Garnaccio, for man United. It's called a Vio for Liverpool. And there's Fabio Blanco, rookie auto for Barcelona. It's going to go to Grant. And we've got some shimmer going on here. It is Casamiro, 272 out of 399 for man United. That's going to go to Grant. There's Mohamed Darme to 150 for Copenhagen. That will be for Alan Murdoch. Future stars, Pierre Calulu for AC Milan, 12 out of 75. You know what's cool about these cards? These cards are manufactured in Italy. So the card stock has a different feel to it. Another Chrome card, which is pretty cool. Feels like almost a better quality, even. Maybe it's just a tiny bit thicker, 152 out of 175. A Pedri for Barcelona. And I think the number stamping is a little different as well. All right, another box. Was that Gold Wonder Kids number? Or are you just saying Gold Wonder Kids? Good eye. 40 out of 50 for Real Sociedad. It is indeed gold. Chris Parent, next box. Even the packs feel a little different as well. All right, next box. Good luck. Here's Allison to 175 for the Liverpool. Pablo Marín for Real Sociedad. I think those pulsars or whatever tops cause them, I think they're not numbered. Matthew has Liverpool. And we've got a Giorginho. Black ink autograph goes to Jacob and Chelsea. Blue autograph, 7 out of 75. Nice little color match. And for PSG, we've got Warren Zaire Emery, 53 out of 199. Paris Saint-Germain, that'll be for Aaron. Keep the PSG straight up. Nacho, Acpo, Kimmich, and Nuno Mendez, Future Stars. 24 out of 50. Gold Minidiamonds pattern for Paris Saint-Germain, that's for Aaron. We've got some purple, Sadio Mane, Byron Munich. Missed that guy. Wish he would have stayed with Liverpool. And we've got a Pedro Gonzales to 1952 with the tops. Sort of step and repeat pattern in the back. That's for sporting. It's going to go to Grant. Another box, Women's World Cup happening at some point in July. July 20th, maybe some fun international competition to watch. The timing might be a little, I think timing might be Australia and New Zealand. The timing might be OK, at least for me on the West Coast. I feel like I'll be able to catch some matches. So I finish up at around 11 o'clock Pacific. And by the time I get home, it might be a match or two to watch. Australian Open kind of tennis schedule. I'm just waiting for preseason stuff to start and soccer. All that good stuff. Good time to get into this sort of stuff, ladies and gentlemen. So especially with an active transfer window and then preseason matches about to start. And before you know it, a lot of the European leagues will be starting back up again. There's only two finals in baseball today. Brewers beat the Cubs 8-6. Brewers scoring a couple runs in the bottom of the eighth to take that lead. And then Chas McCormick puts the Asters up with a late RBI double. They beat the Rangers 12 to 11. Hope everyone had the over on that. Got Harry Kane, 109 out of 250. Where is he going to be playing? Is he going to be going to go somewhere? He's going to stay in Tottenham, maybe? He's going to spend some speculation about him moving on elsewhere and for Bayern Munich. We've got Paul Wainer. That would be for Brian and Bayern. Marco Royce, 280 out of 399 for Borussia Dortmund. And we'll go to Robert and Dortmund. Julian Alvarez, Wonder Kids from Man City. That'll go to Rob. We've got an orange, James Rees. Oh, not numbered, but looks cool. Chelsea. That'll be for Andrew. Ibrahimovic, Pablo Berrios for Atlético Madrid. The fracter, Gary Linnaker. All right, another box. Good luck, everybody. After this box right here, we'll be halfway through the break. Let's see, what games do we have? What baseball games do we have in progress? Reds are leading the Nats 3-2, top of the 7th. Cardinals are leading the Marlins 3-2, top of the 7th. Orioles are leading the Yankees 3-0, top of the 5th. At the bottom of the 5th, Braves are currently shutting out the Guardians 4-0. And in the bottom of the 1st, Royals have jumped out to a 1-0 lead against the Twins in Minnesota. Looks like the Royals are feeling revitalized after beating up on my Dodgers. Have they been playing some good baseball lately? Yeah, better than, I mean, last 10, about 5 and 5, two-game winning streak and leading in this game. Starting to turn things around, that's good for the hobby, especially Bobby with Junior starts making some more noise. Playing more competitive baseball, that's a good thing. I've got an Alidot for Frankfurt, rookie silver, rookie refractor, and we've got an Erlen Holland. We've got a Rodrigo to 175 for sporting. Rubiero, that will be for Grant. Here's a Marquinhos for Arsenal, rookie silver. Taylor, Kubo to 399 for Real Sociedad, Chris Parent. We've got a Wonder Kids, Garnaccio. And our auto is for Celtic. That's Kyogo for Ahashi, for Andrew and Celtic, who won that team in the team random that we did, 154 out of 199. This is basically a pick your team break with a random team inside, baked inside. Foden, we've got a Zlatan, Ibrahimovic, Blue Lava, which is not numbered. I feel as if it should be, though. That's still nice, AC Milana, it'll be for David B. We've got Alidot to 150 for Frankfurt, be for Evan. All right, we are halfway through this full 12 box case break, onwards, the next half, about another 30 minutes or so to go. Gilo, what's going on? Ladies and gentlemen, it's a good time to look at the standings. We're going to open these packs. And Major League Baseball, no standing depth for soccer. So we'll go off topic a little bit, but we're pretty much at the halfway point, right? Most teams are a little over the 82 or the 81 game mark. We're at 85-ish games or something like that. So, Tampa Bay Rays are leading the AL East. They're leading the Orioles by five and a half games. They've got a pretty impressive plus 157 run differential. Next closest would be the Rangers at plus 155 and the Braves at plus 139. No one else is above 100. The Yankees are nine and a half games back. Are they thinking wild card potentially? That's a tough division. The Yankees have 46 wins and they're nine and a half games back. 46 wins would put them on top of the central and we'll put them at about second place in the AL West, first place in the NLE East. No, not first place. AL Central is a little rough. Twins are under 500, as are the Guardians, and they're tied for first. Tigers are four games back. White Sox five and a half games back. And they might still be in striking distance. And in the West, the Rangers are up on the Astros about three games. Rangers are playing good baseball. Angels are in third, followed by the Mariners. Watching some summer league didn't realize the Laker signed a guy out of Missouri. Who is that guy? There's Thomas Moeller, 399. It's for Byron Munich. That'll go to Brian. There's Mo Salah. Just delete the AL Central. I mean, they might. And we've got a Bruno Fernandez, 65 out of 225. Ray Wave. Sort of a photo negative-ish Ray Wave. I'm not sure exactly what they call it, but Grant with Man United, there you go. Get all those Garnattos as well. Demoy Hodge. No, I have no idea who that is. Must be one of those undrafted free agents, maybe. Fill out a summer league squad kind of guy. We've got Julian Alvarez for Man City. That'll be for Rob and Bruno Iglesias for Real Madrid. Rookie card. And there's the autograph. Matias Sole. Sole for Juve. That'll go to David B. 58 out of 99. Undraft. You think Wemby's going to play on Wednesday? The next case is sold out. Nice. We'll do that after the break. I see a lot of orders. I wonder if something else sold out before that. We'll see. And we've got a Joshua Kimmich, Orange Lava for Bayern Munich. Then we've got a Marcus Rassford at the Purple Yellow. German United. Do you know, Gilo, what are your sources to say about Wemby playing on Friday? Wemby's going to play on Friday. Robert's like, man, I can't buy a hit. Thankfully, Robert, we have one, two, three, four. We have almost a whole half case left. Thankfully, we've got many boxes to go. Thankfully, this was not a half case break. Then it would be sad times. But we've got a whole other half, which is awesome news. He was playing all the Vegas games. It's good. I will be there on Friday to watch him play. I'll try to get a picture next to him. What's his listed height again? 7-3? 3-3. It's unfair to Joe's. James asked, will I have more UEFA club competition cases coming? No. That was it. There's Ben Hamin and Cesko. 34 out of 399. Although it's possible we may get more, but we don't have any more to post at the moment. I wouldn't mind seeing some more though. Cool. I guess we'll set a refractor Jude Bellingham aside. Is he official to Real Madrid? Maybe? I think so. It's Erlen Holland from Man City. And we've got Fabio Blanco, 53 out of 250. Some pink shimmer action happening there. And a messy insert. Crazy. I don't think there's this rookie right here for sporting, for grant, Isahaku Fatahou. I was going to say it's kind of, until I see him on TV in an inter-Miami shirt, just weird thinking that Lionel Messi is going to be playing here in the United States. He's going to go to PSG, go to Erlen. It's kind of wild to think about. It's Christian Erickson, the player of his stature. Kind of roaming around. Roaming around these hallowed MLS stadiums. Christian Erickson to $199 for grant in Man United. This guy sounds like a Star Wars character name. Could be. What do you think Fatahou would be, Gilo? You think he is at the name of a hero? A villain? TBD? Maybe a spice smuggler? Or maybe a mayor of a town. How long is Messi slated to be here? I don't know. I mean, I actually don't think, has he even been unveiled yet? According to just a quick Google, according to CNN, Lionel Messi's inter-Miami contract worth between $50 to $60 million per year, according to club's part owner. $50 to $60 million a year. The lower of those figures would make Messi the highest paid player in Major League soccer by over $40 million, according to sports salary tracker Spotrack. Spotrack? How do you say that? Spotrack? Or Spotrack? According to that site, Juriden Shakiri currently earns the most in the league with the annual wage of $8.1 million. Messi's potential on-pitch earnings are outstripped by those of his longtime rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a $75 million playing salary after moving to Saudi Arabia team Al Nasser, corner fours. You say the T twice? Spotrack? Mas confirmed to Baiz that the 35-year-old's wage will be supplemented by the guarantee of being part of the club's ownership once he retires, as well as a cut of the profits from MLS's broadcasting deal with Apple TV and the team's kit sales from Adidas. Man, he's got the fingers, his hands, in a lot of pockets, a lot of MLS pockets. Trying to see how long this deal is. I don't see how long this deal is. It must be a number of years. Has to be a few years, at least. But according to the CNN article, Messi is reportedly due to make his debut for the club on July 21 against the Mexican side Cruz Azul. Here's Allison Becker, Pablo Marín, for Real Sociedad. How can you live on that type of money? I think cost of living is more expensive in the United States, and it is wherever he lives now, Argentina. There's Rodrigo Ribriero, sporting, grant. Cristiano needs to, I mean, that would be nice, but he chose to play in Saudi Arabia for a lot more money. It's Marcus Rashford to $3.99. Although I wonder, I mean, if Sario Mane, as well, to $2.50 for Bayern Munich, that would be for Brian, Marcus Rashford for Grant, and Matai Sole for Juventus, rookie refractor. Though I wonder, if Messi is getting paid $50, $60 million a year, but he's getting a cut of all these, of shirt sales, of the broadcasting rights, if he's getting cut of that and part ownership of a team, is that going to be more than the Renato deal at the end of the day? I mean, maybe Cristiano has a stake in the Saudi team, but I mean, I don't know if they're broadcasting. I'm not sure if they've been able to sell their broadcasting rights for as much as MLS, or how many kids around the world are buying Al Nasser shirts with Cristiano Renato on the backs of those. Yeah, I think you're right, Frank. Looks like Lionel Messi is bullish on MLS. Now, not surprisingly, according to the article, the owners, again, not surprisingly, are bullish about the league's potential for growth following Messi's arrival, with Maas participating in the El País interview, that the World Cup-winning captain's arrival will, quote, elevate the league to another level into one of the two or three best leagues in the world. Ah, OK, no one had mentioned. I was curious. I did not know how many years. I said I assume at least a few years. Duncan is saying the Messi deal is for three years, although I'm sure you can play for a little bit more than that. Jan saying it sounds like Messi didn't want to play inside of you because of political reasons and the money. Yeah, I think that's probably the case for most people. Yeah, I saw that, too. That's crazy that they've been working on this deal for three years. All right, we got some Giovanni Rana. Nice. 5 out of 25, Brusa Dortmund. That's going to go to Robert. I like that kid. We're getting closer to a proper hit. And we've got a Jamal Moussa. We've got the same player. We've got an, didn't we have, no, maybe I'm thinking of something else. That wasn't the case. I think this is another kind of one-for-case or super short print deal or something like that. The Joga Bonito, the lava pattern in the background. Nice one for Bayern Munich, Brian. And Hans Spessiman, Hugo Echitike, the PSG. I don't think there's, well, there might be. But I don't know, for obvious reasons, I don't know if the Messi autos are going to be terribly common in this set, if any. And we've got a Weston McKinney for Juventus. Are there any Ted Lasso sets out there, Frank, is asking? 30 out of 50. Yeah, maybe a Jamie Tartt or a Roy Kent autograph would be pretty cool. I don't know if they'd make a proper set of that, but I feel like they could make it a special insert set in a, maybe a Topps Chrome Premier League product or something like that. That'd be pretty cool. Come on, make it happen, Topps. We've got Rafael Liao, 64 out of 225 for AC Milan, David B, and Sadio Mane. Two boxes to go. Who do I think is going to win between the buckos and them bums? Who's on the mound? Also, I think MLB TV is free today. Let's freedom ring, ladies and gentlemen. Ah, I see. We've got Mitch Keller squaring off against Michael Grove. I think it's going to be, I say that the Pirates will win tonight, as much as I don't like that. I also don't like the Marlins coming back. Scoring three runs here, they're leading the Cardinals 5-4. I have financial interest in the Cardinals, although the Dodgers are heavy favorites. I'm not confident about their bullpen. Maybe the home cooking is going to help their back home. But Mitch Keller's been having a pretty nice season. Michael Grove has struggled in his starts. Yeah, I mean, yeah. It's mostly because of Michael Grove and a shaky bullpen. John's is LA by 4. Well, then John would be interested in the run line, minus 1 and 1 half at plus 120. And it's also Mitch Keller on the other side, not only just Grove winless, but Mitch Keller on the other side has been pitching relatively well for the Pirates. Whoa, what did I get? I forgot. Maybe that's what happens when adult beverages and eBay combine. Oh, I know what it is. It's a record for my turntables. Nice. Remember Glenn Miller of the Glenn Miller Band? No. And that hit song, In The Mood? They got it. Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Bum-bum-ba-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. And you know this man. It's pretty much in any World War II movie that you would wash? Right. League of their own probably has it, you know. Federico Quesa, 001 out of 175. Chance to give a support. I'm gonna say 8. Run total 8 and a half and minus 80. I'm looking at bet online. They've got the Dodgers at minus 165. There's a nice Gabriel Marcinelli, 009 out of 150 for Taylor and Arsenal. We've got Gavi. Lava Pulisic wants to play in Italy, I guess. He doesn't want to go to France. There's Iqbal to 199. Why didn't he just come to MLS? And then, you know, battle against Messi, just dominate. It's true. We've got Zoboslai, 24 out of 225. Recently signed with Liverpool. Confident footsteps of one's Laptan. Oh, right. The godlike says Laptan Ibrahimovic. There's out of 125. Luca Sousic. Can't forget about the other Glenn Miller hit there. Pennsylvania, 6500 also by Glenn Miller. Here is Danio Olmo for Leipzig. That's gonna be for Chris Parent. It's 114 out of 150. Ah, classic. The Andrew sisters don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me. Here's Julian Alvarez. Some classics. Some classics there. What's everyone's adult beverage plus eBay purchase? Whatever happened? Something arrived in the mail a week later and you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. I did get in tight order that. All right, we made it folks. Final box coming up. Appreciate everybody getting in. We got another case coming up after this break. I'm gonna go through some orders. I'm gonna take a quick little break and refuel and then we'll be back to do some more breaks. I think someone mentioned another case of this that sold out. So we'll work through another case. John says rum and coke got you a knife collection. That's good. Was it a good knife collection? Is this a vintage knife collection? Is it a current knife collection? Modern knife collection? Is it kitchen knives? Hunting knives? An assortment of knives? Different blades, different lengths. You gotta have an assortment. We've got Isak Bergman Johansson. 181 out of 250. Copenhagen. It's gonna go to Allen. Ah, for all occasion. All right, you gotta have, you never know when you never know need a knife at any occasion. The Bukayo Saka. The 399. Nice. For Arsenal. Taylor. And our final autograph is for Frankfurt. That's Ansgar, Ansgar Naf. And that's Evan who won that team in that team random. We got an Aqua Patrick Schick to 199 for the Bayer Labor Cousin. It'll be for Eric with Labor Cousin. Let's see what else we have to close things out. We've got a Barrios, Pablo Barrios for Real Madrid. Darwin Nunez. We've got a Vinnie Jr. Refractor. And Gabriel Jesus for Arsenal. Vinnie for Real Madrid. And that, my friends, is your break. And here's a quick recap of the autos, among other things. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Joe for JasperJasperakes.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. And I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye bye.
