 Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com with a double header 2022 top's chrome baseball double header break. Let's play two, as Ernie Banks would say, two hobby cases at 24 boxes total and we know about those extended short print, extended base short print situation, those five cards that weren't in this stuff. They're now been distributed inside the silver packs. You saw us do those silver packs earlier today for the new release breaks, for the breaks we did earlier. So at the end of the break, we'll do a pack per box and obviously if there's any of the short prints in there, that'll go to the respective teams, the five teams that have those special short prints. All right, so we'll do those silver packs at the end of the break. All the other base cards that are in there will be distributed to the teams as well. So it'll be just like, it'll be part of the break, it's a break. Big thanks to nobody, no, that's not true. Big thanks to this group right here for making it happen. Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up and congrats, we only had to do one filler for this. Thanks to the people who took a risk on those fillers, congrats to the winners. And there are all 30 teams in. Let's roll it, randomize it, names, teams, one and a four, five times, one, two, three, four, and five. After five, we got Michael down to David, one and a four, five times for the teams, two, three, four, and five. After five, we got the M's down to the buckos. See the Mariners in the playoffs, that should be pretty exciting. And so, Michael, look to the end of the video. Let's see if we get any of those short prints. Carl with the Brewers, Jason, you got my Dodgers, Michael with the Orioles, Darren with the Yankees, Sean with the Rockies, Jose with the Blue Jays, Stephen with the Rays, Yan with the Guardians, Paul with the Rangers, Sean with the Marlins, Jimmy with the Giants, Stephen Kay with the Phillies, Chad with the Cubs, Tana with the Nationals, Simon with the White Sox, Carl with the Diamondbacks, last bottom mojo, and the Tigers. Tommy John with the Braves, Carl with the Red Sox, Jimmy with the Royals, Derek with the Padres, Andrew with the Mets, Travis with the A's, Ethan with the Twins, Tana with the Angels and the Astros, Mark with the Reds, Tana with the Cardinals, and David Nadler, Pittsburgh Pirates. It's alphabetized by team. And we're going to pause the video when we come back. We're going to see if there's any trades, and then we'll have the break. Cubs up for trade, A's up for trade, so we'll see you on the other side. All right, then gentlemen, welcome back. Look at that, there was a deal done. Trading win has now closed, so Chad is out of the Cubs spot, and now into the Brewers spot. So we'll put a T there for trade. Carl is now out of the Brewers spot and into, and try to try that again, cut and paste into the Cubs spot. We'll put a T there for trade, otherwise the list remains the same. A lot of trade chatter. That was the deal that got done. All right, hopefully it'll keep me company in the next two hours, ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be a long break. We will do an autograph recap at the end of the break. So if you're rewatching this video and you're like, man, there's no way I'm watching this break. Even if it's at 2X speed, which you can do, then you can fast forward, scroll, scrub through the video, and go all the way to the end, and you'll see the autograph recap. Unless I forget, if I forgot that I'm sure I did it in a separate video. Chrome Hobby Box is two autographs per box on average. A little slippery here. Good luck, everybody. Let's get the list. Again, let's show you that list just one more time. Top Chrome Baseball, doublehead, or two hobby cases. Thanks, everyone. Let's take a little gold shimmer peeking out there. What team do you have, everyone, in this break, and what are you looking for, if anything? Anything specific you're looking for, or you're just going with the flow? Just add some random stuff to your collection, maybe a big hit. All cards shit in this, too, right? They should, I believe. No, I'm sorry. No vet comments ship in this, said in the description. Think of the pick your teams, they did. But no vet comments ship in this, which will, just the rookie cards, the refractors, the short prints, the numbered cards, the autographs, but the comments won't. Wow, Mark's looking for hunter greens. Those will be in those silver packs that we have. We're going to do one per box. There'll be 24 additional packs. We'll be ripping at the end of this break to look for those short prints. So that will be, I think, yeah, Mark, you and the reds will have potential short prints. Right, who else is it? Julio Rodriguez is one. That's for the Mariners, Michael G, look to the end. Jimmy Kay with the Royals, Bobby Whit Jr. short prints. CJ Abrams is also one of those missing short prints out now in those silver packs. It's Derek and the Padres. So some possibilities there. Chad looking for a yellow chateau. That'd be pretty cool. All right, and away we go. Just in the interest of time, I'm going to be breezing through these a little bit more quickly than I normally would. It's gonna be a long break already. There's Jake Cousins for the Brew Crew. Chad, drawing first blood in the trade, 474 out of 499. I almost kind of forgot what this chrome look like. There's Wander Franco, Wander Franco insert, Stephen Carney with the rays. Let's try to look for some parallels of that, dude. And there's that gold wave I was looking at. And it's Brian Anderson, 28 out of 50, gold wave for the Marlins. That'll be for Sean Maddock and the fish. Our first autograph is, I thought it was an autograph, but still cool. Nice parallel. Get that dust off there. Wander Franco, fuchsia for Stephen Carney and the Tampa Bay Rays. 361 out of 399. We'll see him on the playoff stage. It'd be good for the hobby if he rakes in the playoffs and especially this weekend. There's our second auto, Hans Krause. Philly's, that'll be for Stephen Kaye, won that spot in the filler. What are those fuchsia Wander Franco's go for? Anyone, anyone know? Wonder if his sort of longish injury in the season kind of softened that market a little bit, but he's still one to chase. Here's Chad Dawes' favorite player, Kyle Lewis. Simon, what's going on? Don't follow baseball as closely as football. Can anyone tell me how the White Sox rookie, Gavin Cheaton, Berger did? Well, I think Gavin Cheaton actually had a decent season. I'm not sure about Jake Berger, though. Yeah, as a team, definitely fell short of their expectations. As one White Sox fan put it a while back, I was like, does Jake Berger deserve a signature Berger at the ballpark? And this White Sox fan typed up and was like, no, he's not hitting not nearly as well enough to get a signature Berger at the ballpark. So no Jake Berger Bergers just yet. I think Gavin Cheaton did okay, though. Well, I guess this might be one of our last times that we're going to have a chance to talk about the off season because this is an off day and we're going to be pretty much talking playoffs the rest of the way through. So yeah, and totally Rusa retired. So let's talk about the non-playoff teams. Who's the biggest disappointment this season? What's the team that you thought, man, this team's definitely a playoff team. Possible division winner, but just fell short. Let's see. AL East, Baltimore, Boston. I feel like the Orioles who finished above 500 are actually the surprise right there. But yeah, Boston's got to be a little disappointing, right? Sorry, Mark's Red Sox 78 and 84. Look at that roster. They're really good. Made a big off season splash with Trevor Storey, you know, they got Daner Bogart's on that team, Raphael Devers on that team, JD Martinez can still rake, you know, and just my daughter's bias. I'm a fan of Redugo, a fan of Kike Hernandez, those guys are solid players, but more Chris Sale troubles and starting pitching issues and then that's all she wrote. In the AL Central, it's got to be the White Sox, right? We were just talking about the White Sox. It's got to be the White Sox. Tony LaRusse is out, you know, maybe they'll find like a younger voice and to lead that sort of younger team. They're pretty disappointing too. On paper, they're really good. They've got a good pitching staff. They got good hitting. They got Luis Robert, but Chad, in the AL West, that's got to be the Angels, right? I was saying the Angels with guys like Ohtani and Trout on that team, and I know Trout missed like a month, but he still hit like he played a full season, so really that's not an excuse there too. There's a Glenn Otto-Otto, Texas, that'll be for Paul and the Rangers. There's Jake Berger. Yeah. I mean, as a neutral fan, I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing a Red Sox Yankees playoff series. There's Purple Speckle, a little color match there, Colton Welker. You know, the Purple Mountain's Majesty, the Rockies, 19 out of 29, so there's both of our autos in the first half of that stack, looks like maybe a little orange peaking down there. Another one of Chad Dawes' favorite players, another Kyle, Austin Meadows, 12 out of 25 for the Rays, Steven Kearney. If you have any, if you have any Kyle Lewis or Kyle Seager cards or hits in your collection, Chad Dawes a buyer, be sure to hit him up every time you see him in the chat. Take a look at every one of those, make some really good offers too. What about in the NL? Miami a little disappointing, I think. I don't know if they were going to make the playoffs, but, right, only the best offers for those guys is Chad. He actually hates those guys, don't bug him. I think Miami, I didn't think they're going to be a playoff team. I also didn't think they were going to lose over 90 games, they lost 93 games this season. Now I know that that's, like kind of like the AL East, like Gilo was saying, I know that the NL East is also pretty tough, but got a really good pitching staff. Well, actually, they have a really good pitching staff, but I guess that was it, because remember that run of that run of the Marlins not scoring more than two runs in a game for like two weeks, two or three weeks, but they actually had like just a shade under 500 record or something like that. That's just a testament to how good their pitching is, but yeah, pretty disappointing season for the Marlins. But that incredible pitching staff, that plays. So I wonder if, you know, they should try to make them, I mean, people want to go to live in Miami, right? Players want to try to get some, try to get some bobbers. What if Aaron Judge goes to Miami? What if Aaron Judge is like, I'm going to go to South Beach. It's kind of a 10 year deal there. Kick back and relax. Have the Marlins bring in, bring in the fences. Just rake. Yeah, Aaron Judge, the decision, that's going to be the big decision. We'll have plenty of off season to talk about that. Or I guess as soon as, you know, as soon as the Yankees are bouncing in the playoffs, whenever that may be, you know, they'll be, the Tox will start. Cutter Crawford, Boston, that's going to go to Carl and the Red Sox. Yeah, Simon's asking, yeah, well, let's start it. Where is Judge going to go? What does everyone think? And if you're feeling spicy, it's Casey Meis, fuchsia speckle for the Tigers. That's for Carl. If you're feeling spicy, what are the terms of his deal? Maybe 350 million right there to 350. There's Wayno, 241 to 299. That's for St. Louis. That's going to be for Tana. Stephen Carney, you'll get the, all those Wanderfrankos. And Mason Jar Thompson. Rookie autograph for Tana and the Nats. I think he's going to get one of those deferred deals. I mean, maybe for the Nationals. You're not going to defer this, this dude, are you? 10 years, $500 million, Rex is thinking. This card really isn't worth that tub of it. We're talking about him, so. Someone, is someone really going to give him 10 years, you think? He's a little bit older than, he's a little bit older than you think, right? He was born in 92, I think he's pushing, I mean, for baseball, for athletes, he's getting a little older. 10 year deal pushes him into like the early, his early 40s or something like that. Sounds like an angel. Think of new ownership. That's not what new ownership is going to do, I don't think. But what if you did like a, but is that average annual value right? Maybe $50 million a year, could he get 50 million a year? Yeah, baseball money can get kind of crazy. Yeah, I can't see more than like, max seven years for a player of that age. The pool's is 42. I mean, not everyone's out of the pool's. It's like Rex, when you're like, you know, Nolan Ryan used to throw 110 pitches a game, you know? It's like, well, not everyone's Nolan Ryan. And as special as Aaron Judges, he has had, he's been pretty healthy the last couple of seasons, but he has had, you know, some of some injuries. I know, Nolan, that's why a hot dog and a beer cost $30 a game, right? Not even good hot dogs or a beer at that. Watered down Miller light. You try to get premium food at a ballpark and a lot more than that. Yeah, I could see clubs wanting five years, but I think judge will probably want like seven, eight years, maybe 10 years. They're gonna have to meet somewhere in the middle. The higher average annual value is probably it's gonna be one of those. That's been increasingly a popular, let's see what the Mets did with Scherzer. I think that kind of deal seems to be, excuse me, growing a little bit more popular these days. Higher average annual value, but shorter years. There's you all in Moncata 93 out of 99. So I think teams are gonna get a little creative with that. You all in Moncata for the White Sox, that'll be for Simon, the hyperoneal cruise. I like that for the Pirates. That's a wonderful, I thought that was someone else. Eight years, 320 million, thinks Lucas. It's $40 million a year. That's not bad. That's a fair offer, but is someone gonna give him more than that? Aaron Judge is 30 years old, turns 31 next April. By the beginning of the baseball season, he'll be 31 years old. Now here's a fun thing that I like to look at. If you go to fangrass.com, you search a player, you scroll all the way down to the bottom to the value section. They kind of calculate based on war, based on salaries of players in the league. They try to calculate the dollar value of someone's season. There's Trey Mancini, nice Trey Mancini to 2.99 for the Orioles, Michael Lossia with that. So based on war and average salary per war, per point in war, there's JT Real Muto for the Phillies, Stephen Kay. Aaron Judge in 2022 had a season that would have been worth 91.6 million dollars. So after calculating a million dollars, like the price per war, winds above replacement, and he finished with 11.4 according to fan graphs, it would have been a, now no one's gonna pay him 91 million dollars, obviously. You know, cause he's had a season with one war where he was only worth 8.2 million dollars. Last year he had a good season, 5.5 war. That was a 43 million dollar season. TJ Friedel right here. So you kind of have to get somewhere in between there, right? You're paying 40 million dollars a year of real dollars. Sometimes you'll get 90 million dollar value. Sometimes you'll get eight million dollar value. So it'll be interesting. TJ Friedel for the Reds, that'll be for Mark L. Tanner John thinks that, John thinks that somehow the Giants are gonna pay him some outrage, just some amount. A lot of connecting of dots to San Francisco, obviously, he is from that area, from Northern California. Maybe closer to the center of California, I wanna say. I'll be closer to San Jose, but still I'll probably grow up a Giants fan. And the Giants have been, you know, I've been reading some articles. Giants have been, and their fans, have been sort of clamoring for some star power there. They've got a pretty interesting team. If they can keep a picture that Carlos Rodone, I think they can keep him. Logan Webb's pretty good. They've got some youngsters coming up the ranks. They've got some veteran talent there. If they could stick a bat like Aaron Judge and his star power there in the middle of that lineup, I could get the people going. I can get the fans going. So a lot of dots being connected all the way to the bay, to the bay area. There you go, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So John, you know exactly where they're at. Yeah, watch the play at Fresno State with your dad when you were a little group around where you're at, yeah. So not exactly the bay. Not like Tom Rady, who grew up in a fancier part of, fancier part of the bay area. Where did Aaron Rodgers grow up? He, Aaron Rodgers grew up closer to Sacramento, right? Simon Meyer has a hot take. Pools this season might have been more impressive than Judge, just given Albert's age. And he certainly turned back the clock There's an article in the athletic that said he kind of credits that move to the Dodgers that kind of rejuvenated his career because he started hitting some dingers with that second half of that season with the Dodgers after the trade. It's Patrick Wisdom and the Cubs, Carl, with the Cubs. That's the other side of the trade. So one auto each for the trade if you're keeping score. I thought, I thought Rodgers was, I thought Aaron Rodgers grew up in Chico, California, I want to say is closer to Sacramento. And I think Tom Brady's from Marin County, right? So just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, wine country. And a nice Nate Pearson. Purple refractor autograph for the Bluebirds. Jose with the Blue Jays. 95 out of 250. Tradiac, what's going on? I did not see the Ronaldo, though the Christian Ronaldo miss as a non United fan. No, I got to look that up. I'm sure I'll take some delight in that as well. As a Liverpool supporter. Got Boba Shet, green. 68 out of 99. Another Blue Jay for Jose. Oh, links don't work in the chat. I'll look it up. I'm sure I'll run into it. I did not. Rex is saying, did you see Griffey Jr. sent Judge Amesha's congrats and tell him to keep it up and judge wrote back. Thanks. Just trying to be like you. Maybe without the late career injuries though. Not like that. All right, six boxes of 24. So we got another half an hour left in this break. And we've got another hour after that. So let's see who makes it with me to the end. I might not make it. Hey, we do have another dual case break in the store. If you'd like. I'm not going to do that tonight, but I don't know. If Jason doesn't knock it out in the next couple of days while I'm away, maybe on Sunday. There's a lot should be. I'm hoping, kind of pivoting to the playoffs a little bit. I'm hoping that we do get, we do get some, can we imagine if we got all game threes, all deciding games all on Sunday, they're just banging them out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, baseball, baseball, baseball. Playoff baseball is pretty exciting. Now we talked about what people personally thought what they personally thought who would win their respective series, but let's see what Vegas thinks. So raise guardians series price to win the series. Raise are plus 104. That's pretty much one to one. Bet $100, you get, you plus $104 back. Just $10 and you can kind of see, you can kind of do the math there. So, but pretty much even the guardian are a slight favorites of minus 124, which means you got to minus $124 from your bank account to plus $100. So you got to lay a little more to win a hundred bucks. There's Anthony Rizzo, $259 at $399, but ostensibly, you know, you're taking a bigger risk because there's a bigger chance, I guess. There's Juan Gepes, Blue Lava for St. Louis. They're in the playoffs, Tana, 55 out of 150. There is Alex Wells, Orioles, that's gonna be for Michael Lossia, won that team in the filler, gets the Alex Wells autograph. Not yet, we got that Blue Lava for the Cardinals, but nothing got that purple Nate Pearson autograph. Nothing too crazy though. Maybe that Fuchsia, Wander Franco may still be one of the bigger hits of the break thus far. There's Nolan Aronato to 99. Green Speckle for the Cardinals, for Tana. Halfway through this first case, first of two. All right, next half. These are the box with the tops. Yes, that is correct, Trey Deyak. So we did get those silver packs in today, and we actually did a whole, just for the previous Chrome Breaks we've done, we did a whole rip of those packs first thing today, so that video should be up. Basically, they gave us silver packs, and we're just pretty much, so at the end of this break, there's 24 boxes, right? So at the end of this break, we're doing 24 of those silver packs. Yeah, our sorting team loves these double headers. Hey, they've sorted bigger breaks than this, so. So this is relative to some breaks we've done. This is easy. No, no worries, listen, this is a long break, Tana. I need as many things to talk about as possible, otherwise I might fall asleep in the middle of this break. No, but there's nothing for the braves and the silver, I mean, there may be some base cards that really aren't worth all that much, maybe a refractor or two of some players, maybe a Spencer Strider rookie refractor, but the only teams that have a stake in those silver packs are the extended base short print set, which is only five players. So the whole drama was when they first released this, they realized and announced that, hey, on the factory level, because it's kind of, it's not like top employees doing this, but these are printed at a separate factory. So at the factory level, they forgot to insert the extended base short prints, which feature five cards, Bobby Wood Jr. for the Royals, Julio Rodriguez for the Mariners, Spencer Torpleson for the Tigers, Hunter Green for the Reds, and CJ Avens for the Padres. So they don't have regular base cards, so they're only those extended base short prints, those special players. So they're never inserted in these stuff. So what they said as a, you know, we're like, well, I mean, obviously we have to give those to the people, right? So they created these silver packs, right there. They created these silver packs. So in these silver packs are just the usual set of Chrome cards, right? But finally, mixed in there are those short prints. Obviously not every case was guaranteed a short print because they're short prints. So not every pack's gonna have a short print, but that's what we're chasing. There's Iván Castillo. Have I hit refractor versions of those short prints? I don't see, don't remember. That video is up if you wanna take a look. And we've got an Aaron Nola piece of his jersey. So yeah, for most of you, you're just gonna get maybe, I mean, vet commons don't ship anyway. For most of you, you might just get like an extra base rookie or something random like that. Dejila Mayhew, Blue Waves of 75, but really the Royals, Mariners, Tigers, Reds and Padres, they'll be a little, their ears will be perked a little bit more because of the possibilities of those short prints. Got to Alexander Welles, photo negative. I wish these were short printed a bit more. They could almost be like downtown cars. There's Spencer Strider. Some of you know Strider as the Ranger from the North. If you're into that sort of thing. That goes to Tommy and the Braves. That's your possible NL rookie of the year. It's had a pretty great season. I think he's a little banged up though for the Braves. I think he's working through some sort of oblique issue. Oh, I see, per boxing? Yeah, I mean, I'm glad they addressed it. They could have given us nothing at all. I don't think there was ever gonna be a solution that made everyone happy, short of, but I mean, you can't even guarantee short prints for everybody. That'd be people would say, there's no really perfect solution. It's not like you were assured these super short prints anyway. So it's not like we can just give everybody a short print. Everyone got one that devalues the short print so they're not as special anymore. So yeah, there's really no perfect way of doing it. Yeah, it is early. But yeah, I mean, this is a long break. We can definitely shift sports conversations too. For whatever it's worth, at the moment, 538 does a pretty good job with their sort of projections. Or at least they got a good system for it, just so we have a framework to talk about. Right now, the Bills have a 19% chance to win the Super Bowl at this early stage of the season. Next closest is Chiefs at 13%, two AFC teams, and the next two are NFC teams. Eagles at 12%, Buccaneers 7%, and Packers tied with the Buccaneers at 7%. So now obviously with only 17 games, those percentages could drastically change with a short winning streak or a short losing streak from any of those teams here and there. And that's that, right? There's Luis Gil for the Yankees, Raiders. Not as bad as you think. They are at 0.6% to win the Super Bowl. Their playoff odds are 21%. I think beef, when they were 0 and 3, I think it was like 12%. Yankees, Darren, not that I've been looking. Not that I've been keeping track of that obsessively. Rex wants to know where Wilson Contreras goes in. I think he's a free agent. But yeah, Bills are pretty scary this year. Mark's still on, AFC, he's still on the Bills. Patri is making the wild card and that's bold. Without Matt Jones, how long is Matt Jones? Others, Francisco Lindore to 2.99. Bailey Zappi. For the Eagles, I mean, it's all about, I mean, they look really good. They've got a pretty easy schedule. They just gotta stay healthy. I mean, keys to winning, right? Good offensive line. A young mobile quarterback that maybe doesn't have to throw so much because their running game is so good. Hattragwism to 150 for Carl and the Cubs. And a really solid defense. If not great defense. Pretty easy NFC East, although Cooper Rush and the Cowboys have been pretty surprising. I mean, it's the National Football League. They're not gonna go 17-0. They're gonna have a couple of games where you're completely like, oh, that's not a Super Bowl team. But so far, four games in, they're looking good. Who do they play this weekend? Jaguars, maybe? Oh, no, are they playing Arizona? Luke still has hope for his bolts. Bosa, Keen will be back. Slater has a chance to return. They gotta keep Justin Herbert clean, though. Arizona's the first playoff team. Is Arizona a playoff team? First playoff team the Eagles will face this year. The two and two Cardinals, are they making the playoffs? They've got a good chance. They've got a 37% chance of making the playoffs. 2% chance of winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, that Bill's defense, though, is pretty electric. Vaughn Miller just opens the door for everybody else on that team. Ed Oliver, who we're so great offense. You want a little bit more, I guess your nitpicking, maybe you'd like to see a little more of a running game there, but yeah, they're still pretty good. Wait, so I don't really keep track of that sort of stuff, Mark, but is Brady getting divorced? Is that true or is that just rumor? Because that probably means we might see Brady for the next five years. That guy's never gonna retire, huh? Just when I thought we were gonna get rid of, just when I thought we're gonna get rid of Tom Brady. He's winning all the time in this league. There's a Reaver, San Martín, for Mark and the Reds. They got lawyers. Yeah, Simon also confirmed it's rumor they got lawyers, wow. You think they signed a prenup? Like, she makes a ton of money. And I guess Brady has his share of endorsement money too, but I wanna say Giselle has, maybe has more money than him, by a lot, I think. There's Ronnie Dawson for the Astros, Tana of the Stroze. I think she does, Simon. That's all I was asking, did he sign a prenup? Did she make him sign one? Got Luke Williams, 75 out of 150. TJ's already seen videos about people joking that Brady's got another 10 years of being divorced. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. No one telling him to retire, he doesn't just play until his arm falls off. Play until he's in a wheelchair. Play until he gets concussed out of the league. She does have more than him, Rex says, but does he really care? Seriously, neither of them could possibly go after each other's money. I mean, I don't know what, I don't know how, I don't know what a divorce law is in Massachusetts. I don't know where they got married. I don't know what state they have their marriage license in, every state I feel like is different. I think California, I think is 50-50, unless you have some sort of prenup. I had a funny image mark of Gronk and Edelman living in the Brady Households basement, you know. Uncle Gronk, Uncle Edelman, Uncle Julian. Uncle Gronk, Uncle Julian, playing with the kids, taking care of the kids, doing babysitting, letting them eat ice cream for dinner, and not that avocado ice cream or whatever he eats. Like real ice cream. Redemption, it's beer. Seth Beer for Carl and the Diamondbacks, Last Bot Mojo. There you go, Carl. Oh, and a Neil Cruise refractor. Pirates, David with the buckos. And we got a Romy Gonzalez, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Isn't that a movie? That is for the White Sox, that's gonna go to Simon Meyer. Gold Wave, Corbin Burns, 30 out of 50. That's gonna go to Chad Daz, CD. What do you think Chad Daz's baseball nickname would be? That would just be CD, maybe? He gets a CD. Maybe Daz, Dazzie? Dazzie? I don't know if Dazzie works. Daz, maybe just add an S to there. Ah, boy, Daz. Yeah, Daz sounds, Daz rolls off the ton. Good eye, Daz, good eye. Maybe post-game interview, you go CD. It's like, yeah, CD had a really good game. CD, whatever his number, CD seven. CD, CD three, had a really good game. What about basketball? Yeah, got basketball pre-season starting up. Who does everyone have in hoops? Let's see, do we have some more recent odds on here? Maybe late September, according to Action Network. Your odds on a favorite to win are the Celtics. Yeah, plus 575. Celtics are your favorites, according to Caesars. Maybe a week ago. Followed by the Warriors at plus 600, that's about six to one. Milwaukee Bucks, plus 650. Clippers, plus 675. Nets, plus 800. Sons, plus 1300. Sixers, plus 1400. Nuggets, plus 1600. Lakers, plus 1800. Grizzlies are 20 to one. Heat, Mavs, Pelicans, Cavs are 30 to one. Yeah, Mark and John, Celtics fans. I'm a Lakers fan, so I really don't need to see the Celtics win a championship, but I can respect that team, though. That's a really good team. Here's another rival of mine, the Giants, Curvin' Castro, for the Giants. That's gonna go to Jimmy K. Yeah, Mark saying East got tougher, though. Yeah, Cavs are 30 to one. If you like the Cavs, I mean, I'm no good with these futures, but if you like the Cavs, you know, I feel like that's a pretty good return on the Cavs. There's Gavin Sheets, photo negative. Kevin likes the Timberwolves. They're right after the Cavs. They're plus 3,500. It's about 3,500 to one. Gavin Sheets goes to Simon and the White Sox. And we've got Zach Lothar, rookie autograph for the O's. Goes to Michael Lossia and the O's, refractor autograph, 309 out of 499. And there is Dodgers' edition of Albert Pools, 3,500 out of 299. So Kevin, if you like the Timberwolves, 3,500 to one at Caesars. Last box of the first case, that's not so bad. Could be a nice little return. I don't know, any super long shots here that's worth something? The Jazz are the Rocket Spurs, Pacers Jazz are the longest odds. I think they're plus 100,000. They're 100 to one, those three teams. I don't know if there's too much value in any of those teams. Orlando Magic and the Thunder are 50 to one, or 500 to one? Where am I for 500 to one? I think the Rocket Spurs, Pacers Jazz are 1,000 to one. Magic and Thunder are 500 to one, Pistons are 400 to one, Kings 300 to one, Wizards 300 to one, Charlotte 175 to one, Nix 150 to one, Trailblazer's 125 to one. I don't know if I'd take any of those. Just like, I mean, just for a value play. Bulls are 70 to one, is that an interesting value play? You know, if you're just throwing 50 bucks on something, just to keep the season a little spicy. Pox, 50 to one, Raptor's 45 to one. Kind of do like that Timberwolves, 35 to one. Sixers are 14 to one. They're right in between the Suns and the Nuggets. And man, the Sixers have got to get over that hump, right? I mean, if it's not gonna be my Lakers, 18 to one. If it's not gonna be my Lakers, you know, let's get, it'd be good for the hobby, get Joel on a bead, an MVP, get him a chip, and they'll get that locked in. All right, final box, case one, then one more case to go. There's Anthony Bender for the fish that's gonna go to Sean Maddock in the Marlins. Yeah, Bulls, 70 to one. I do like that team as well. I don't like that Lonzo Ball may not start the season. He's got that foot injury, something like that. If he was healthy, he was healthy. They may not be a baby, might not be 70 to one. Gavin Sheets, purple refractor, 250. That is for Simon. And there's Joe Musgrove, San Diego kid in alcohol. 277 out of 399 for the Fryers. There's another wanderer for Stephen Carney and Derek. It's Lucas in the chat with the Fryers. They're Stuart Fairchild, Gold Autograph, Carl. Last spot, Mojo. There you go, Carl. 16 out of 50. Yeah, John's thinking, feel like, man, are the Sixers wasting Joel on bead? Yeah, I mean, they got a, what are the Sixers doing? Anything significant in the off season of the Sixer? I think they re-signed James Hardiner, did something with his contract. I don't see any new faces. All right, so that was case one, next case. Oh, yeah, the Fuchsia Musgrove is nice. And that's his hometown, that's his home, his boyhood club, as they say, the Padres. And it's fitting that he delivered the Padres first no-hitter in franchise history. Last year? No, Seth Curry went to, Seth went to Brooklyn, along with Ben Simmons. So they got, according to ESPN, depth chart, they've got Tyrese Maxey at the point, James Hardiner at the two, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, Joel and B. And then D'Anthony Melton, Jake Milton, Corkmaz, Matisse Tybal, those are some of your off the bench sort of guys. Yeah, I have to refresh my memory on all of the roster changes from this year. It might take me a month or two. Pelicans, Mark was saying pelicans earlier. I do like that. Pelicans odds are not bad, 28 to one, a little bit better than the calves and the timber wolves. Now, pelicans, they added, once they added Siege of McCallum, I feel like that really changed the nature of the team. They went to the playoffs. And with a Zion, they might have advanced to the next round. I really like this team. If they can kind of get it all to click, if they can put it all together, if they can get a little production, some surprise production out of a youngster or two, that could be really interesting. So you got Siege of McCallum and Brandon Ingram. Brandon Ingram, that's a two, that's a big two. So, I mean, that'd be pretty, I mean, Brandon Ingram is not flashy, but he's just like, he's like Kevin Durant Light. Siege of McCallum obviously is great. He can be a great floor general. They got Herbert Jones at Small Ford, Zion at Power Ford and Valence Tunis at Center. You know, then you got, if you can get some production out of, you can get Jackson Hayes to give you like 15, 20 solid minutes a night. Larry Nance Jr. to give you like 20, 25 solid minutes a night. You know, if you can get some production out of Devonte Graham, Kira Lewis Jr. You know, guys like that, that could be, that could be a really, it could be a really fun team to watch. All right, there's another fun case to watch. Second case of our double header. First auto is Janssen Junk. You think he's a junk ball pitcher? Tana with the angels. There's Geolito to 50 for Simon and the White Sox. Wander base card. And our second auto is a Luis Frias. Carl with the Diamondbacks. And once again, I'll do an autograph recap at the end here. Next box. Yeah, I don't, I don't usually remember a lot of the basketball trades either. In football trades, I feel like they're just so rare that that's why you end up remembering them. How much, how much hard drive space in our brains are we wasting on all this? Now that's fun. It's our hobby. How are, how are the Lakers gonna do, ladies and gentlemen? What do you think about Joe's Lakers? My Lakers. It's all a mood point. It's all pointless if LeBron and Nancy Davis can't stay healthy, especially for, if they're in the playoffs, especially playoff time. Our Lakers are in trouble. Yeah, and it's not gonna matter if LeBron, Davis, and Nancy Davis are out for a lengthy bit of time. One bright spot, though, is that I do like that, that the, yeah, anything's gonna be better than last year. That the team's younger, you know? Like we're finally getting Kendrick Nunn back on the floor. Dennis Schroeder back with the Lakers. He's still pretty young. Austin Reeves, I love. Juan Toscano Anderson, Damien Jones, Thomas Bryan are still pretty young. Wenyan Gabriel, guys like that. Lonnie Walker are still relatively young. And I'm glad that, because last year they were like, oh, let's get savvy veterans and let's put them on the, it didn't really work, you know? And the Lakers just end up looking slow and really old and out of breath and out of energy in the fourth quarter. A lot of leads lost in the fourth quarter. I'm just lacking the energy to like maybe, you know, it would require herculean efforts from like LeBron James to bring them back from like bad third quarters and stuff like that. So hopefully that kind of wild variance will even out. Obviously, you know, you can't really put too much stock into win-loss record in the pre-season, but you kind of want to just see how players are rotating together, all the different rotations. For whatever the pre-season's worth, you know, Westbrook has actually looked a little more active on defense, doesn't mean he's good, but he seems to be a little more of a willing participant. Feeling he's a little more aggressive to the basket and effectively aggressive to the basket. Like there are some more shooters around them. The coaching, I think, is definitely a lot better. No offense to Frank Vogel. I think it's sort of unfair that he got the ax, but someone had to go. But I think they made the right coaching decision. I think Darvin Ham will be a great coach for the Lakers now and in the post-LeBron era, whenever that will be in three to five years. So there's something to be said about it, like maybe kind of keeping consistent coaching and philosophies on a team. So I'm hoping that that will be the case for Darvin Ham that he'll be here for a while. But the, now if the Lakers are 100% healthy and clicking and playing a little defense, that's a championship team. That's crazy that it might sound, but the problem is, and a lot of people are like, yeah, right Joe, well, it's true. It really is. The problem is, their margin of error, just like last year, their margin of error is really thin, is really narrow. So if one little injury from Anthony Davis that knocks him out for a couple of weeks and next thing you know, they're sliding out of a playoff spot and the whole rotation collapses because everyone's trying to fill that Anthony Davis size hole. There's Mike Bowman, 13 out of 199. Orioles, Michael with Mike. So that's the issue with the Lakers. The margin of error is very thin. They can't afford to have lengthy injuries or can't afford to slack on defense. And it's Kyle Lewis to 199. That'll be for Seattle, Michael G, that one. But they're younger. They look a little more energetic. That I like. I like Austin Reeves a lot. He might be, the Lakers have done a pretty good job. Credit work credits too. I know that there's a lot of bad moves that they've made like the Westbrook move, but credit work credit is due. The Lakers have done a great job. And this is actually Joey Bus, I want to say. Dr. Bus' kids, Jerry Bus' kids have done an excellent job scouting. They got Austin Crusoe out of nowhere. Alex Crusoe out of nowhere. Alex Crusoe? Austin Crusoe's one of our customers. I'm mixing them up now. Austin Reeves was an undrafted guy, I want to say. They found some second-rounders that have been really great. So they've been really been able to identify some great talent. They've been trading away first-round picks and stuff like that. So they've done an excellent job there. Guys like Scottie Pippin Jr. could probably make the team. Or maybe get some minutes in the G-League team or something like that. They still have some future picks they're hanging on to. I think they're going to see, wait and see all the way until the trading deadline in February to see if they want to pull the trigger on using those picks, if the Lakers are looking good. If not, Lakers can keep those future, future picks, let the Russell Westbrook contract expire, get that money off the books, and maybe they try to get Kyrie out here to run with LeBron for one last time. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's a real injury-prone team, John. So they really got a, that Margin of Air is really thin. They can't afford lengthy injuries. Yeah, I don't see Coach LeBron, Rex. Well, he did announce, I mean, he did pretty much say, and he's had stated that, I think he wants to be an owner. I think he wants to be probably the face of an ownership group and run a team. I don't think LeBron himself could buy a team, but I think him and along with a bunch of other investors, I think, yeah, I think he can get a team. And I think he maybe said a day or two ago, maybe earlier today or yesterday, that he pretty much made a statement to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, hey, let's get a team in Vegas. And I think he maybe wants to be a part of that ownership group. There's AJ Alexi. I mean, it's looking like, and I think the rumors have been, it'll be when they expand to 32 teams, that it'll be Seattle will get the SuperSonics back, and then there'll be a team in Las Vegas. And then I think that makes sense because I think, I think Memphis has been playing in the West this entire time since they moved from Vancouver. They've stayed in the Western Conference, so they'll probably shift, they'll probably shift the Timberwolves over a division, because the Timberwolves, maybe it's Timberwolves, someone, definitely Memphis, right? Maybe Memphis and Timberwolves get slides over, or maybe the Pelican slides over to the Eastern Conference or something like that. These teams right here in the West, those two teams might be it. So then that kind of geographically kind of balances things out, but yeah, the Las Vegas Lebrons, yeah, he definitely wants to be part of an ownership group, sort of Michael Jordan style. There's Hoy Park for Pittsburgh, that's gonna be for David. And they'll probably, there's Trevor Rogers, the 350, Fuchsia Speckle. And they've got a stadium, or they've got an arena there already. They've got in where the WNBA team plays, and where the Vegas Golden Knights play. That's the T-Mobile arena, I think, that's right next to Mandalay Bay. And right across the street, maybe across the street, Catecourt, to the Raiders stadium, we can see them. So there's a nice little sports complex or a sports little area there, but so they can easily play there and maybe even look to build a new arena somewhere. Lot of space in Las Vegas. There's Emmanuel Rivera, 55 and a 99. Oh, here's a fun question that we haven't talked about in a little bit. I think Major League Baseball, we want to circle this back to baseball. I think MLB has been kicking around the idea of 32 teams. Where do those two teams go? I feel like there's been a lot of sort of academic type studies done on various baseball blogs about what market do you need to sustain a baseball team? What's the demographics that go to baseball games and blah, blah, blah, blah, and what areas have a sort of empty space where that could be filled with a baseball team. Where does Expansion Team 31 and 32 go? And let's just assume for the sake of this discussion that Oakland stays in Oakland. And I think they might, actually. They've been making some progress on some land maybe a little bit south of where they currently are to redevelop some property there, maybe in a slightly nicer part of town. I think they're making some progress on possibly a new stadium. And I think Tampa Bay really should move to, I don't know what progress there's been there, but I know that the commissioner has definitely said to Oakland and Tampa Bay, figure this out. Or we'll figure it out for you, you know what I mean? Maybe force them to sell teams or something like that, but Tampa should, the rays should really move to, to where the lightning and the buccaneers play. That's in a much more easily more easily accessible area. You have to decide what two divisions get an extreme. No, you would change it to, you would change divisions, Rex. That's what you would do. If you go to 32, then you're redistricting divisions like the end of the year, redistricting divisions like the NFL, eight divisions, four teams each. So I'd have to kind of look at the teams and kind of shuffle that around. And I don't know how the divisions would be reshuffled, but you would reshuffle the division teams. Oh, we moved to baseball now. But yeah, you would move like Memphis. If we're going back to NBA, you'd move like Memphis, right? You'd move like Memphis and I go KC to the East and then put the new teams and the new NBA teams in Vegas and Seattle. That's not the way they had it before. What, with 32 teams? Oh, well, just because, just because that's the way they had it before, we can't change it, Rex. That's it. We're locked into what we did before. Look forward, Rex. There's Royce Lewis, Purple, 41 out of 250. It's a chance to, when you get 32 teams, it's a chance to redistrict. Redistrict divisions. So here's an old New York Times, I'm gonna drop that link in the chat. Here's an old New York Times article from 2014 that says up close on baseball's borders that kind of gets you a little map of the teams. So you can kind of get an idea of where another baseball team could be. That's right, the Colt 45. That's a great name. Maybe it doesn't play today, but I still like it. Trevor Larnock, twins. That'll be for Ethan. It's the black and photo negative parallel. There's Oliver Ortega for the Halos. That's another one for Tana. I think one of the suggestions I've heard for a baseball team is, well, people have said Vancouver, but I don't know, I think Toronto Blue Jays is like Canada's team. I don't know if that's gonna happen. If anything, you'd put a team in Montreal. But obviously Montreal, putting a team back there has been talked about. Portland has been talked about. There's a great Netflix documentary called I think the battered bastards of baseball. I wanna say Kurt Russell or his dad or something like that had some involvement with that triple A team in Portland. It's a good documentary. But yeah, Portland's been talked about a lot. Montreal has obviously been talked about a lot. People have said Memphis, but they got a football team. They got a basketball team. Can they sustain a baseball team? People have said Memphis, but Braves country is kind of strong in that region. So I don't know if that's gonna happen. Because if you had Vegas, most likely, like- Right. Right, because I mean, I can't- I can't think Vegas would be, would not be an expansion team. I don't think this- Well, even if it was, but you're not keeping open, right? You're just so bad, like, the intent of it and everything. If they get that new stadium, which they're making progress on it, then they might not even make a move. But if they don't move, then yeah, Vegas would- Yeah, I guess Vegas would be a good candidate for baseball. All the proteins are moving there. But if you look at that map, if you click that link to the New York Times article and look at that map, the Mariners, like, travel is brutal. Travel and football NFL too. Travel is brutal all the way up there. Because there's no other teams there. So if you can rap, if there's like a Portland team there, then you've got like a little West Coast leg that you can do for baseball. You play the Mariners for four games. You play a Portland team for four games. And then, you know, there's not a lot of flying across the country and back and forth and stuff like that. Travel can get kind of brutal. But people said Charlotte, like North Carolina. Yeah, we got Memphis, Tennessee, kind of right there. Memphis could be possible too. Yeah, you can't put, see, that's pretty tough to, it's either Cardinals or Braves, right? Memphis would have a hard time getting people in there. New Orleans? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There's a lot of baseball players that come out from Louisiana. LSU has a big baseball program, so it might be a little too slow for that crew that. I don't know. It's the big easy, right? New Orleans? Kick back and drink and eat some delicious shrimp. I do like that Portland. And watch some baseball? I do like Portland, actually. Especially if they bring back, yeah. Blazes. Yeah, Portland actually could be good to create a natural rivalry, like a geographic rivalry with the mayor. They do sell. I don't want to see Hawks and Portland still be there, right? Or did he sell? I think so. He's still there, right? I think Seahawks ownership is still there, yeah. He'll sell something up here. Tanner thinks what Mexico City would be. That'd be wild. I mean, they love, Mexicans love baseball. That'd be a good spot. They love sports. I think NFL's wanted to put a team in there. Seahawks traveling to Mexico City. But yeah, I mean, the travel is brutal, though. That's the thing. I think that's kind of like a holy grail international city, right? Baseball's talked about it. NFL's definitely taught. I don't know about the NBA, but I think NFL and NBA have definitely kicked around that idea. Or NFL and baseball have kicked around that idea. Put a pro team in Mexico City. But the travel would be a little brutal. There's Kevin Smith. What's the time zone in Mexico City? So it's not like it's London, where you have to go east and west. You're still going north and south. So like hours wide. It's miles wise, it doesn't kill you. Or miles wise, it kills you, but hours wise, it doesn't. I mean, I think it's three hours if you get to like Cancun down there. Right. It's the Criminer area, but two hours. It might be possible someday. There's you, Darvish to 199. Albuquerque, they do have a triple A team there, but. I was looking at their region too, but I'm not people there. It's hard. I mean, Diamondbacks have a hard enough time getting, and they've got a huge city there. They've got a hard enough time getting butts and seats. Albuquerque may still have a nice triple A team there. The Dodgers triple A team used to be out there before they moved to OKC. Indeed. I feel like that's too much Cubs country, right Rex? Looking at that map. Maybe a little bit of, what baseball teams do people follow there Rex? Is it mostly Cubs? There's Michael Brantley for the Astros. That'll be for, it'll be for Tonam. Cubs in Reds country, yeah. That's where Rex is at. Albuquerque might work. Probably the most famous because that's true. Maybe the Breaking Bad effect has changed people's minds. I know there's a lot of, I know like some like nature show production companies or like extreme sports production companies, they've got like a presence there. So there is sort of like a hip, younger sort of thing there. Oh, is that right, Stephen Kay? No, so no baseball team in New Orleans. I have a friend who recently moved to New Orleans. No horror stories just yet. Charlotte, I think Charlotte Vegas, Portland. I think those are, if like baseball expands to 32, I'm thinking Charlotte, Portland or Vegas. I thought Nashville as well. They got the Grizzlies, they got the Titans, they got the hockey team. So they got major sports there. Why not baseball? Baseball seems like it would be a fit, but is that too much Braves country? Cause Braves pretty much dominate that region. Or is it ripe for another baseball team? Just to kind of eat into Atlanta Braves market share. But again, I'm gonna flip screens just for a second, but I'm looking at that map right there, right? Little Braves country out there. But that Vegas, Portland and North Carolina area, I feel like there's some market share to be taken there. I wouldn't say too much Braves. You put it right down in the middle of Nashville. Right, right, right. You would have to make it like, you have to put it down past. Wait, so that actually has me curious. Where do the Tennessee Titans play? Are they right in the middle of the, yeah, they're right in the middle of Nashville, right? The Titans. I'm assuming, do the Grizzlies play around there too? So yeah, if you put it right smack in the middle of the city, right where the Titans play, yeah, maybe that could be pretty fun. Ooh, there's a Connor Sebold, Sebold Bebold. And New Orleans can't keep a baseball, they lost their AAA team, right? I feel like a lot of ball players come out of, baseball players come out of like LSU, so I thought that might have worked, but. Carl with the Red Sox. We're doing a little thought exercise, Stephen Kay. We're saying what, and I was kind of looking at this, this might be a little outdated from 2014, but New York Times has like a little nice little baseball map, little heat map of where all, where fans are concentrated and everything. So we're trying to figure out if baseball expands to 32, and let's say we're, for the sake of argument, Oakland and Tampa Bay are staying in the same place. What's a good spot? What are the good spots for expansion teams? I'm thinking Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm thinking Portland, Oregon, Las Vegas, and I think maybe John's kind of twisting my arm, kind of convincing me maybe, yeah, you do try to challenge that brave market share, pop a team in Nashville. I already got major sports there. Why not a baseball team? There's Brian Della Cruz, Sean Maddock, and the Marlins. Why not put a baseball team there? I mean, I feel like there's probably numbers that say that Nashville, one of the fastest growing cities and blah, blah, blah. I'm sure they're on one of those lists. Garrett Cole, Fuchsia, Speckle for the Yankees, that will be for Andrew Mark, nope, that's gonna be for Darren McKenzie to 350. We've got our two autos, we're just looking for special cards here. Low numbered cards. We still got those silver packs, don't forget about those. Kiebert Ruiz to 199, former Dodgers prospect, going to ton in the nationals. Halfway through this final case, the second case, about 30 more minutes to go. Thanks for hanging with me, ladies and gentlemen, I really appreciate you keeping me company, otherwise I may pass out in the middle of this break. Where's Carl? Is Carl still here? He's the one that really kickstarted all this. He, yeah, he's sleeping. He got the last four full spots, which made everyone get the filler. Carl, are you still here? The Carl check. Yeah, that's right, John, but Braves had that spotlight for too long. They've been comfy eating that market share down there, building generations of Braves fans. Let's challenge them a little bit. Let's get Nashville in there. They already got some, they already got major teams there. Titans have been pretty successful. They've been in the playoffs and stuff. I feel like the Predator, Nashville Preds have been pretty successful. Memphis Grizzlies are on the up and up. I don't remember, when did they go from 32 to 30? It must have been a long time ago. Probably just the usual issues. Attendance, not enough people going to ball games. Those cities not being able to sustain teams. Maybe not enough talent coming out of the pipeline to sustain quality teams. This is my battery for long. Oh, okay. But, you know, expansion is, you make more money. Look at the cost of baseball franchises these days. Billions of dollars, two billion dollars, 2.5, three billion dollars maybe. You add two more three billion dollar teams in there. That's more money for the, putting the pool for owners and all that stuff. There's all sorts of, you know, tax money being thrown around, luxury tax money being thrown around. More teams to market, more teams for TV. It's like, if you tell TV, hey, we've got more teams and more games. Guess what? The cost of licensing has now gone up. It's all, it's always money Rex, especially in pro sports. Royce Lewis to 199 for the twins. Ethan, although I think baseball is not as close to 32. Not as close to 32 as basketball is. I think basketball's many years ahead on getting 32 teams. Teams. You have to write a quick email. Can we pause the break? No, you can pause this video though, Lucas. If you're watching the live stream, either on Twitch or YouTube, you should be able to pause the video and then you can get right back into it. When you're done with the email and then you can fast forward through the slow bits and then you can end up catching up and make sure you're live. There is Peyton Henry or Patton Henri. Don't know. Marlins, Sean Mattick with the fish. Yeah, there is a lot of talent on NBA rosters. I think they can sustain another two teams with 15 men rosters. It's Josh Hader to 199. Maybe even make the league a little less top heavy too. It might create a little more parody that we see in like the NFL. Well, they added the Marlins and Rockies in 93 to make 30. Well, Exos, they moved, Exos moved to, they became the nationals. I think it's been 30 teams for a long time. It's just that there's been some moves here and there, hasn't it? No, it was 28 teams. They went from 30 to 28. Because in 1988, there was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven teams in the AL, it was just East and West, AL West. And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven teams in the ALEs. And there was only 12 teams in the NLM. I don't remember that long ago. There was only 26 teams in 1988. Oh, that can't be right. Yeah, there were only 26 teams. So they were down to 26 as recently as, so in 93, that's when they added the Marlins and Rockies to make 28. Right, and then Diamondbacks and Reyes were 29 and 30. That's what it was. And then they moved Montreal to D.C. There you go. All right, thanks man. See ya, see you guys. Bye. So that's what it was, Rex. It was only 26 teams as recently as 93. So Marlins and Rockies once again got us to 28. Okay. If you want to just leave your trash can on here, he said he would take care of it. He would take care of it, okay, cool. Sounds good. Wait, they didn't pick up today? Thursdays, Thursday trash pick over? All right, depending on when they feel like it. All right. So that was 93. So when did the Diamondbacks come into play? 97, 98. So in 98, they added the Diamondbacks and the Devil Reyes. And the Expos turned into the Nationals. They were still the Expos up until 2000. Early 2000s? Yeah, so I don't think they turned into the Nationals until a little bit, maybe 2005? Really? They were Expos until 2005? Oh no, Nationals was 2005, yeah. So there you go. So now they're gonna try to add 32. I don't know, probably not like I was saying before. The impression that I get is that unless something drastically changes in the MLB market, it's most likely we'll see Oakland and Tampa Bay either move and if they move, that might slow down expansion talk for a while. But if they get their stadiums in order and they stay, then I think expansion talk may start to increase and all this could happen in the next 10, 15 years. I think basketball's timeline I think is much shorter, I think three to five years. I think they might wanna try to announce maybe in the next couple of years, if not sooner. Scryphon Jacks for the twins, that'll be for Ethan. And then get those wheels in motion and have new teams within a couple of years after that to get all that stuff figured out. That probably means like, will there be an expansion draft or might be an expansion draft, which would be kind of fun. There's Rodolfo Castro to 299, Purple Speckle for the Pirates, that'll be for David. An NBA team in Paris. I did hear some of that as well. There's Ernie Clement to 399. It might be easier, you think that might be easier to put a NBA team overseas because if you think about it, NFL is tough, right? You're taking 52, 53 players nowadays, right? Plus coach for every position, plus equipment, all that sort, it's like a huge undertaking. There's Matt Veerling, Purple Speckle for Stephen K. Here's Ernie Clement to 399 for the Guardians, that's gonna be for Yan. So there's a lot of moving parts there. Baseball too, 26 men on a roster, 25, 26 men on a roster, a lot of coaches, bullpen catchers, gloves, bats, baseballs, extra gloves, bats, baseballs, uniforms, this and that, but it's basketball, much smaller rosters. There's only 15 men on a roster. You can carry less, I think, and just a lot less gear. Shoes, uniforms, basketballs, right? Maybe, you know, trainer, coaching staff, maybe a few people on a coaching staff, a couple trainers, you know, a couple press guys, PR people, really not that much compared to like a football team. So like, to move a team, like yeah, to maybe put a team in Paris, that's not as crazy as it may seem. Yeah, well, no, you could not put a team in Japan. If it's another country, I think it's Mexico City, outside of that, I don't think you can put a baseball team anywhere else. Look up how long it takes for a flight from New York to Tokyo, 14 hour flight, so when do you want them to go to Japan? And play, I mean, in that Japan team, I don't know, I mean, it would just be crazy, I just wouldn't work. Players already don't like traveling across the country. I mean, what's that road trip like? Even if you got them all the way to LA and then sent them to Tokyo, right? For like the Yankees to work their way across, all the way to the west, playing games on the road, then play what, a four or five game series out there, and then come all the way back, you know, and try to adjust, you know, times and all that stuff? No, they'd be crazy. Right, and the Japan League is popular enough where I don't think baseball needs a presence there. Major League Baseball doesn't need a presence there. If anything, you want that Japan League to flourish so you can have more Japanese players come to Major League Baseball. Gabriel R at 68 out of 150. Cleveland, this is for you. Yon with that one. So yeah, if anything, Major League Baseball put in money to support the Japan League out there just to make sure that they continue to thrive. Yeah, well, basketball, I've made a lot of comparisons, Tanner, to basketball and soccer. And I think that's why basketball cards sell so well on a secondary market because of the global audience. Basketball is huge in China, basketball is huge in Australia, basketball is huge in Europe, obviously United States, so it's a lot more closer to soccer than people think. And I think some of the terminology kind of translates too. You hear a lot about, like the vocabulary is somewhat similar. You hear a lot about like, hey, here's a soccer striker who can play with his back to the goal. Where have we heard that? Here's a center who can play with his back to the basket. You know, there's the triangle offense in basketball. And in soccer, they talk a lot about passing in crisp little triangles. There's wings, wing positions in basketball and in soccer. So I think in the sort of the movement of the game to the free flowing movement of the game, I think is also in the creativity and imagination you need, I think is also pretty similar in baseball or in basketball that is. So I think there's a lot of comparisons that are there. And in terms of global expansion, I think that's there too. That's why basketball is trying to think about, what do you guys think about the in season tournament? It's a lot like what European soccer leagues do. They have their regular league, then they have a mini tournament in the middle of the season or throughout the season. So yeah. Yeah, and well, you're right. John, the simplicity of those two games, basketball and soccer, makes it so much easier to understand. It's for new fans anyway, so much easier. NFL, imagine not growing up in the NFL and you just, you're a Frenchman that has never seen any NFL and then you just turn it on and say, let's watch. I mean, try to explain all these penalties, illegal formations, one guy can move but another guy can't at the same time. We're talking about false start penalties. You're talking about how many yards can you touch a guy before you have to release, right? The five yard bump rule, what's passing or fearings, why is that a catch, why is that not a catch? You know, I mean, imagine that it's just, that's, I really think NFL needs to simplify, that's a completely different conversation but that I'm not ready to have this late at night. But if we didn't grow up with it, NFL is really hard, you know? And it's kind of slow, if you kind of think about it. My sister and I, my sister likes sports a lot and she won't grow up watching sports a lot. She lives in Vegas and we went to our first, we grew up in LA, so we didn't have an NFL team. Going to NFL games was not like a thing for our family. A lot of baseball games though, she likes baseball. And she's been to a number of hockey games in Vegas, a lot of Golden Knights games in Vegas and so she likes the vibe of a hockey game and then we went to our first NFL game together over Christmas last year is Raiders Bronco, Raiders beat the Broncos last year and this year too. And she was like, she liked it, but she was just like, oh, this is way different. There's a lot of downtime and there's like, yeah, you know, and I've been to enough, I've been to a couple of college football games and enough high school football games where you can kind of get the vibe of that. But even I was kind of taken aback. I was like, right, there's a lot of downtime. There's Adam Frazier for Seattle, that'll be for Michael. And you're like, right, a lot of TV timeouts, a lot of standing around. And so, you know, crowds and so you realize how much TV helps. TV really helps and I think the end of the football experience a lot is Joe Adele, Orange, 12 out of 25. Stephen Kay, you did the Paki one chip challenge. My advice to anybody thinking about that is a clear no. It was so pain, is that like a super spicy chip? I'm assuming. I'm not into the super spicy chip competition. I like my stomach lining. I like my esophagus. I like being able to have my taste buds intact. I enjoy tasting things. There's Trey Mancini. No thanks on those things. And we've got Spencer Watkins. Just say no to Stephen Kay. Where does it hurt, Stephen? Can you taste anything with your taste buds? Is your esophagus burning? Has the stomach lining being torn out? Other end not doing well? I mean, maybe if I was doing some sort of some sort of dietary cleanse, a system cleanse, maybe I'd try to do that maybe fast for a couple of days afterwards. Just drink liquids. Going back to basketball really quick. I know it's a baseball break, but going back to basketball, I've always thought that the NBA really should follow the European soccer model. So in the Premier League, there's only 20 teams in the English Premier League and they play each other once home and away. So they end up playing 38 games that season. I really think basketball should do the same thing. Can you imagine if the NBA really just tightened up their season and just did one home and away game, which would probably be 58 games, I wanna say, right? There's 30 teams home and away, but they can't play each other, 60 minus two. They can't play themselves home and away. So 30 times two, 60, 58 games, as opposed to an 82. It's still a lot of games, but cut it down to a 58 game season. You don't mess with records because the basketball is not really like a sport where you're counting like 60 home runs in a season. It's just because there's so many volume of points, but it won't change the averages. So you're not messing with records. Maybe total point records. I don't think American sports, I don't think we can go that far in terms of relegation and promotion. I don't think, you know, how many, there's barely any teams in the G leagues. It's just hard to kind of do that. But in terms of scheduling, if they just play one game home and away. So that's 58 games for each team. You have the in season tournament, like a FA Cup or something like that, like a Copa del Rey in La Liga, stuff like that. Here's Mitch Hanager for Seattle. That'll be for Michael. And then you do, and then you just do the playoffs, which is what most casual basketball fans wanna watch anyway, playoffs. And you still have those, you still have seven game playoffs. You fix the load management issue. The 58 games, not a lot. So you know players are gonna play pretty much all 58 of those games. And then you keep them fresh to make them look great. You don't want players crawling across the finish line after a long season. So you get healthy top notch players in the playoffs, which is what people wanna see anyway. Boom. That's what I do. Owners may cry about loss of revenue, but just raise the prices. You know, put 82 games worth of revenue divided up into 50 some odd games. You get more eyeballs on TV, less basketball games, so you can increase TV revenue, because now it's must-see TV. Here's the one time the Lakers are gonna play the Nets or something like that. One time this year, home and away, you know, like, that would put butts in seats. There's Michael Brantley, another one for the Astros. That'll be for Tana. So if I was basketball commissioner for a day, those are the changes that I would make. And then put a team in Vegas and in Seattle. Last box coming up. Oh, poor Stephen K. Tongue burns, eyes watering, stomach is in pain, nothing pleasant. I like spicy heat, but this is just pain. I like spicy stuff too. I can handle spice pretty well, but there's a point. Yeah, promotion relegation, we were talking about this the other night too, promotion relegation is really a tough thing because we're not equipped for it. And I think there's just too many pro sports there. Think about, think about, you know, if you grew up in Liverpool and you're a kid growing up in Liverpool, the only team you're following in Liverpool, that's the soccer is the only thing out there. And that's the only thing you're watching. So for me, if this is Joe Los Angeles, whatever my disposable income goes to buying sports stuff, hats and shirts and gear and memorabilia and tickets and whatnot, it's being divided up between the Lakers, right? LA Galaxy, the Dodgers, you know, Kings. So that's where all my money is being divided up. Where is my mental energy going on those teams, it's going to different teams. But in Europe, for most people, it's just one team and that's it. So imagine if 100% of your sports budget that's usually divided up into three or four different teams, if 100% of that and 100% of your like mental and emotional energy goes into just one team and that's it. Without even any other options. I know some people are like, well, I kind of do that already. I'm like a big, big baseball fan. I really don't watch a lot of basketball. You can still watch a little basketball in your team if your baseball team sucks or something like that. You're like, well, at least I can look forward to the NFL season or something. Watch a little bit of that. Not in Europe. I mean, you have access to other sports but not at a big professional level. So because of that one sort of monopoly on sports every town has a club, a semi pro club, a club that can be part of the tier and the division system that they have out there. And that's decades and decades and decades so over a hundred years in the making. And from the get go, they agreed to that when it was not really a professional sport. There's Hunter Green for the Reds. Nice, that's gonna be for Mark. There you go, Mark. Orange parallel as well, should be to 25. And we're gonna open with those silver packs too so you got a chance at maybe finding some of his base cards which are short prints. The soccer pyramid is pretty amazing. The only way it works is it's just been in the system for so long. Can you imagine telling like, I don't know, Mark Cuban that your team finished in the bottom three so you have to go down to a lower division and not get the same TV rights money, not be able to get the same budget, not be able to get the same, not play the same teams. That could bring you the game day revenue and all that sort of stuff. No way, it could be like F off, that's not gonna happen. It'd be interesting. I think it would work on a collegiate level just because there's so many different divisions on a collegiate level. Oh, that was the second autograph. That was Hunter Green and then Simon Meyer or Jake Myers was the second one, that's Houston. That'll be for Tana. But wait, ladies and gentlemen, there's more, 24 boxes, 24 silver packs. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 and 12 and then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 and 12. 24 boxes, one per box. That was the solution from Tops. So the short prints, once again, those extended, what do they call them? Extended base short prints, which is just five players, Bobby Witt, Jr., Humea Rodriguez, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Green and CJ Abrams never made it into these boxes, unfortunately. So they said, hey, what we're gonna do is we're gonna build these silver packs. There's some extra base cards in there, sometimes some other things, but extra base cards in there. It looks like there are four cards per pack. So we'll put some extra stuff in there and we'll mix in those short prints that were originally supposed to be there. We'll mix these in here. So you can think of it as if we got the 13th pack in a box and that's where our short print possibilities are gonna be. We ripped a bunch of these earlier today for the previous Chrome breaks we did. So if you're looking for that, that's the video. There's a video for that. So all the hobby breaks we did, all the jumbo breaks we did and the other double header break we did, we opened up a pack per box for each of those. And out of the dozens and dozens of the packs we did, we did find a handful of short prints. I think it's not gonna be perfect odds-wise, but I think it's, in fact, if anything, it might be even a little bit easier to hit the short prints than it was before. So it's a give and take. It's not perfect, but at least we're getting access to those short prints. Probably better odds to get those short prints as well, frankly, would be silver times. Just at a glance. All right, good luck. So it's just regular Chrome cards and same deal, no vet comments. So this is the first 12. It's just Chisholm wants all right. Nothing in the first 12. Second 12, good luck. Let's see, one, at least, no. I mean, they were never gonna be easy to hit in the first place. I would love to see one, but none. Thanks for watching, everybody. We made it. This is the end of the double header break, random team number two. Here's a quick little recap. We got another double header up on JasperysCaseBreaks.com and that also includes a silver pack per box. So this was the first case. Had a relic in there, Aranola. Not bad. Colen Welker. Wanderfranco Fuchsia was pretty cool. And here was the second case, the one you saw more recently, got the Hunter Green, that was nice. Some nice color there. Blue, purple speckle. That sort of aqua, cyan, wave, orange to 25. Some purple, some more wave right here. And we started off with some junk right there. And there you go. And then tons of parallels that will top load and get out to you. That's it, boys and girls. We did it. That was the 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball double header break, two hobby cases, random team two, break three in the store. Check it out on JasperysCaseBreaks.com and let's knock out another couple of cases. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
