 Hi everybody, Joe for Jasper's Case Breaks dot com. Happy Choo Choo's Day coming at you with a little 2023, a little, a lot of 2023, Tops, Chrome, Baseball. Two hobby case break, 24 boxes, pick your team, 10. All card ship, a long break, so settle in and let's see what we got. Big thanks to this group right here for getting it on it on the 8th. Scott with LastBot Mojo. That star next to your name, thanks for finishing off the break. Scott some other teams too. Thanks everyone for getting in. Appreciate it. Right, and we're doing two hobby cases. Good luck. See that, if you read the small print right here, the MVP buyback program right there. What does it say? Reap the rewards of MVP, MVP performances. Or go to tops.com slash promotions to find out more. Buyback program. No one's in this break, huh? It's just Duncan's just hanging out and watching. I know I think I saw Michael Stapleton earlier today. Scott just closed out the break, so maybe Scott's around somewhere. Saw Dano here earlier today. Maybe we got some people listening in the background. Ah, nice. Good. Two screen it. Two screen it. Scott, thanks for getting in then. Want to make sure we've got some witnesses, perhaps some greatness out of these cases. We'll find out. Dodgers at Diamondbacks on in the background. Kiki Hernandez doubled. Scoring a render up won nothing early in the game. Keep an eye on some scores throughout the evening. Now that it's kind of crazy to think, but now that baseball games are a lot faster now due to all the rule changes. It's crazy to think that if a baseball game started and I started this dual case break, that a baseball game could be over before I finished a dual case break or shortly. I might end shortly afterwards. Sort of a crazy thought. All right, so remember hobby. This is hobby. So we're looking for one autograph for a box on average. That is a brace to rank 20 out of 99. It'll be for the blue crew to rank to rank to mark with the blue crew to rank to rank. We've got a Yoshida. We want to look up for guys like him, especially parallels for fracters would be awesome. Stephen Carney and there's our auto first auto of the break. First of 24 is David Valar. Dano with the Giants. And obviously we'll do an autograph recap at the end of the video along with along with any other highlights. Give me some out of 25s and under some short prints. Image variation, Sean Murphy to 75. Michael with the braves and a base rushman. Obviously we're looking for bigger fish to fry, but those are the early starts right there for the top tier rookies. All right, hobby one, box one of 24 in the books. Another one. Freeman already won for one. 342 batting average. Outside chance. He might, he might be an MVP. Although thought was able to strike out Freddie Freeman. He can't hit them all. All right. What do we got here? Some finals. It's a final in Cleveland. Guardians with blue days one nothing. Ramon Laureano with a go ahead double in his first at bat with the Guardians. Royals been playing pretty well. They win another one. They were on a six game, six, seven game winning streak, which was broken the other night. And now they won again. 9-3 in Boston on the road too. Cubs with a road win. 3-2 over the Mets. Mike Tachman with a go ahead homer for the Cubs. Cubs, are they going to win the division? Seemed very unlikely at the beginning of the year. Very slow start. They only have 37 wins the Royals. But it's not been a good season for them. Joe loves the Cubs. No, I'm ambivalent about the Cubs. I just have to keep Rex in check Duncan. Sometimes he sits there. It has some wild thoughts about the Cubs. So I gotta rain in. Rain that in. Oliver, what's going on man? Yeah, the Royals are quite young. They're definitely in a rebuild stage and trying to put some pieces around Bobby with Junior who's been really, I mean he's having a good season, but just been having a really good couple weeks I want to say. Braves beat the Pirates. 8-6. Astros edged out the Orioles 7-6. Kyle Tucker's ninth inning grand slam. Giving them the victory. Rays beat the Cardinals 4-2. Rays scoring 3-8 to win. And Miggy passing Gwyn ties the out for 19th on the all-time hits list. Tiger shut out the twins. 6-0. Box 2. And there's our autograph. There's the Braves. 158 out of 2-99. Jared Schuster. That is for Michael and the Braves. Nice purple speckle. Save some Corbin Carols here. And we've got nice Jose Ramirez to 125. Blue sonar. That's for Cleveland. That's going to go to John. I finally got around to watching the altercation that Jose Ramirez had with Tim Anderson. Tim Anderson squared up like he was a boxer. Like he knew what he was doing but I feel like Jose Ramirez kind of swung at him. Maybe clipped his chin and then next thing you know Tim Anderson was flat on his back. Oh that was interesting. Both got suspended. It seemed like an innocuous play. He was like knocked out. It seemed pretty innocuous. I mean Jose Ramirez slid in hard and you know Tim Anderson puts down a hard tag. I didn't think there was really much of it. Much out of it but it escalated really quickly. I thought there was I mean maybe there was something that happened you know beforehand. Maybe someone threw it somebody but oh you were they jarring the whole game. All right that makes a little more sense. There he is. But it took a little little clip. I mean I wish I could see it from a different angle but it just really seemed like not all that much and then they were on the ground. All right so maybe the accumulation of other stuff. Yeah made that escalate quickly but I don't know. Started looking good for uh started looking good for Tim. I mean Tim Anderson squared up and I was like oh maybe he maybe he does like some boxing training in the offseason something like that. Horing Soler hits a two run go ahead Homer for the Marlins. Marlins beat the Reds 3-2. Philly's won the first game of the doubleheader 8-4. I think the second doubleheader is in progress. They're down a run. Games in progress is that Nationals Philly's game. Top of the ninth Nationals are up 5-4. Philly's still have a chance to get up to that for the bottom of the ninth. Top of the ninth Rockies and Brewers are tied at three. Yankees leading the White Sox for one bottom of the seventh. Top of the third. Giants Angels. Angels are up 4-0 early on. They were up early yesterday too I want to say and their bullpen failed them. Let's see if they can hang on here. And the Dodgers leading the Diamondbacks 1-0. Julio Urias start today. Would like it love to see him string some good starts together. That would make me feel better about the playoffs here. Middle of the third. Padres Menors scoreless. Top of the third. Rangers with an early 1-0 lead on the A's in an open. Does Tim Anderson have 5 inches height on Hozier Amiris yet? He can't go down like that. It didn't seem like much of a... I mean I feel like Hozier Amiris was getting held back and he kind of swiped at him a little bit. It wasn't even like a straight punch you know. It just kind of swiped at him a little bit. And then Tim Anderson just went down very quickly. Yeah it looked like he was falling away. Yeah we could break this down like the Zapruder film. But it seemed like he was getting held back and falling away as he swiped. Maybe he's got reach. Do we measure wingspan for baseball players? Then I guess clipped him in the chin maybe. Didn't seem like much. But maybe he's on a round of 150. I wonder if Tim Anderson maybe thought he was in a soccer game and he thought oh if I take the dive will Hozier Amiris be the one suspended? That's right Hozier Amiris is a power hitter. Apparently Hozier Amiris sent an apology to Tim Anderson but that was that was ignored. How do we know it's ignored? Was it on like Twitter and there was no response or did Hozier Amiris say that? I didn't get a response back. Right like last show in punch out because it will be exactly. Here's a Aqua Lava Shane Bieber to 199 the Biebs for Cleveland that'll be for John and there's our autograph of Mastro Buoni 96 out of 150. That's going to be for the Cubs Ed P with the Cubbies. No response all right. So maybe Tim Anderson did see it but chose to not respond to it. Maybe he did ignore. I don't know maybe he saw Hozier Amiris show up on the phone and he was like yeah Corbin Carroll. I've not seen Corbin Carroll hit just yet in this game. All right another box down. Another box. Oh Carroll flew out in the first time. Yeah well you know it makes makes an otherwise that fight made an otherwise uninteresting White Sox Guardians game a little more interesting. Gives a little spice. Yeah yeah well yeah who knows how Hozier Amiris reached out. You know maybe uh maybe it was by Carrier Pigeon Rex and Tim never got it. Tim Anderson may have never gotten it. James Allen with the Allen nice Julio Rodriguez. Breezing through the first three innings. Inning one has often been an issue for Julio Rodriguez. You Darvish was a lot like that too. Whatever reason the first inning would always be the blow-up inning and then would settle down after that. Very odd. I guess you are seeing the top of the line but still could have been Pony Express right now. I think that Gunnar Henderson could be a variation. A short print a shorter print. Yeah it says 173 on the bottom there it is 34 out of 50 nice one for Kenny. Got the Orioles straight up. Caleb Williams already getting his own bobblehead. Daughter Shady. When there's her autograph Drew Waters. I think hit a homer today. That's for D.Y. and the Royals. I'm going to David Vilar photo negative. There's Max Free taking to the max to 399. Michael S with the Braves. Another box down. Another box to go. Let's take a look at the standings really quick. I feel like I've been looked at the MLB standings for a while. Usually I could give it a number maybe even a week before you can really recheck standings again. I guess September. I'm going to start to get to a daily standings watch. I feel like we're getting there. Razer's two games behind the Orioles and the AL East. So that AL East is a lot for grabs. Swins up four and a half games on the Guardians. Twins might be running away with that division in a position two. There's six and four in their last ten. Guardians are three and seven in their last ten. In the AL West Astros are two and a half behind the Rangers. Both are seven and three in their last ten. That's good. That could be a little interesting fight to the finish. The Mariners are playing some hot baseball though. They're still six and a half back, but they're eight and two in their last ten on a five game winning streak. Angels on the other hand trying to break a seven game winning streak. Seattle gets hot. That could be interesting. Braves are cruising in the NLEs. I don't think the Phillies are going to catch them. They're probably in the wild card conversation. Brewers have two teams hot on their trail. The Cubs who are six and four in their last ten are two games back and the Reds who have been on the reverse side of that streak three and seven in their last ten, but they're still two games behind the Brewers. Brewers trying to hang on to that division. So they're four and six in their last ten. In the NLE West are the Giants going to make things interesting in the NLE West? It doesn't look like it. There are four games behind the Dodgers. The Dodgers are looking pretty good. Seven and three in their last ten games. I think the right-handed bat addition of Rosario. Amen Rosario and Kike Hernandez has definitely helped. James Altman has been heating up in the last month or so. He's just kind of really, things have been clicking again for him. He was on base five times yesterday. He went four for four and then I think had a walk. Here's Cal Stevenson. Brookie Otto for the A's, John G. So that's good to have at the bottom of the line at those seven, eight, nine spots. They're looking pretty good for the Dodgers. Their offense is great. If they can get Julio Aureus to put together some good starts and leading into playoffs, that'd be awesome. Kershaw comes back on Thursday, I want to say. It was Varsho to 199. So if they can get that pitching staff in order, I think that's going to be good. It could be a Walker-Bueller boost, which would be awesome. It might be an opener or a middle reliever, maybe even a closer. Shane McClanahan at 250. That's right, Jay. James Altman made no outs, man. Not an outman on baseman. Ooh, nice. Prison Ronald Acuna Jr. for the Braves, Michael. If he wins MVP, it could be a nice little, nice card for the buyback program. Although we were talking earlier that Freddie Freeman, he's a lot closer to Acuna numbers than we think. Although I think Acuna will stolen bases. The fact that Acuna has 50 stolen bases, over 50 stolen bases may end up being the difference maker for him in the end. Man, yeah, Reyes and McClanahan, brutal news. He's not going to pitch the rest of the year. I mean, it's surprising that the Reyes, I think have lost every starting pitcher to the IL at some point or another this season from their opening day roster. Still 69 wins. Suppose that plus 149 run differential helps. It's pretty impressive. Yeah, McClanahan, I think, was already down with an injury dunk in earlier in the year, or maybe not too long ago. And then I think they officially announced today that he's likely not going to be pitching. They were hoping he would come back, but likely not. Won't pitch again in 2023. Drew Rasmussen went down. I think Shane Bosz is down. So they've got key, they've got some key players, key starters that have gone down. Their offensive carried them for sure. It's kind of like the Dodgers' offensive carried them. And that's going to be a tough one in the playoffs. Same with my Dodgers. I mean, that starting pitching is not elite. So let's see if that gets exposed or not in the playoffs. Reyes now. What's Tyler doing here? Yeah, I think Kyla Gladstone just made a start on the 31st. He's not made a start since. Is he injured too? I'll hurt back. Yeah, so they're starting pitching. Starting pitching is kind of rough. Yeah, that Tommy John surgery is not as a, it's not the sort of death sentence it was in the in the 70s to a player's career, but having those Tommy John, no one wants to see that. Although it looks like Bueller might come back sooner rather than they walk with Bueller. Deige the menu to 75 for the Yankees. And there's your autograph. That is Steel Walker, 85 out of 299, purple, speckle, autograph, tiger, that's going to be for Larry. Rex St. Brewer's Rockies. Oh, in extras now, tied at three. Chance for the Cubs to gain a game if the Brewer's loose tonight. Are we saving Freddie Freemans? Is this a possible, possible MVP candidate? Gervon Gates, Dodgers might hold on to it just in case. Still a lot of time left. And that race is close enough where you might keep an eye on how Ronald Acuna and Freddie Freeman do next two months of the season, the final two months of the season. Should I put a unit on? I might have to. There's Mark Viantos of 399. Yep, they brought back the MVP buyback program that they did last year with Aaron Judge and Goldschmidt, who are short prints in this current set, by the way. We haven't seen any yet. But yeah, they're doing it again. In fact, a little small print right there. If you go to tops.com slash promotions right there, you can learn more about that MVP buyback program. So that makes the Dodgers and makes the Dodgers and Braves gives them an extra boost in value because of that. All right, halfway through the first case, looking like we're on track time wise. Yeah, we're 30 minutes in. Second half another 30 minutes hour for the first case. And then each half will be 30 minutes here for the second case, two hour break. I start slowing down towards the end, which I absolutely might take a look at the wild card race. Yeah, race to have a chance to win the division, but they're also five games ahead. They're comfortably in the number one wild card spot. Astros are game and a half ahead. Blue jays are in the third spot. Mariners are two and a half behind a wild card spot. So it looks like Raze, Astros, Blue jays, Mariners in the mix. Red Sox and Yankees look like they're just a little too far away. Five games back. Angels who have been two and eight and seven game losing streak has dropped them seven and a half games back of a wild card spot. Those teams pretty much have to start winning now, right? Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, because they've got teams to leapfrog. They got to start winning now if they want a chance. Mariners looking pretty good. You know, after sort of a letdown season, they're starting to heat up again. And they've got a good chance to get into that third wild card spot. They need the blue jays to falter a little bit. It's good for a good for Rex. Rockies leading the Brewers by a run in extras. There's Bryce Johnson, 302 out of 499. Giants, Dan Olu, from San Francisco. It's like we got Ezekiel Tovar up to bat with bases low to he's in this set. Do something Ezekiel. And then let's pull Ezekiel Tovar autograph or something. It's hashtag good for the hobby. Rosario to 399 for the Padres, John. Got a Volpe for the Yankees, Jose. Got a Corbin Carroll. Got a Josh Young. Got an Acuna Junior. There you go, Juliores. We need this Juliores to show up the rest of the way. Got a photo of negative John Gray for the Rangers. Let's see if there was a pitching change in that Rockies game. Another box. Did he walk him? I think I walked. Bases loaded walk. Five, three Rockies. Bro for Brewers is Uribe. Starts off the current batter with another ball. Another ball. It's like Ricky Vaughn. Just a bit outside. Ball four. Ball eight. Ball 12. James Altman. I'd love to see James Altman. He's been hidden. He's been getting on base. He's been taking walks. I would love to see a little bit of the power show up. Love Major League J. What a movie. Sequel. Like most sequels, especially for comedy, unnecessary. You know what? I switched sides thinking that the autograph would be over there but now it's over here. Josh Leicester. And it goes to Larry and the Tigers. Wow. Two walks in a row for this Uribe reliever for the Brewers. Eight straight balls. Oh, a Shohei refractor. Nice. There's the first strike. There you go, Angels, Sean Maddock. First of many, I hope. Still got another case to go. Brandon Lau. Photo negative. Yeah, four walks in a row. I can't believe that Uribe threw eight balls in a row. Brett Beatty, let's go. Let's go to the Miners. It'll be fun, I think. I feel like I haven't seen a lot of these let's go inserts. Maybe they're shorter printed. Here's a Baso Tani for Sean Maddock. It's Francisco Alvarez. Francisco Alvarez for Fractor, even better. For the Mets, Scott. Well, it looks like the Rockies are going to win this one. And the Cubs might win the division, Dave. You told me that month and a half ago, two months ago, I would have said you're crazy. But that's baseball, although it wouldn't surprise me to see the Cubs on fire in August and just go completely cold in September. Classic Cubs maneuver. If it does come down to the last two series of season, though, Rex, that would be pretty exciting. I mean, those are like playoff baseball fields when you have teams going out in the wire to try to make it into the playoffs. Let's go Mookie. Oh, for one today. We've got a Homer here. And Mookie Grand Slam the other day. Picking up Tony Gonslin. Love it. Yesterday? Yesterday. The days are blurring. Full count. You're probably right, Jay. You know, although the NL Central teams are going to run away with that, right? They're not running away with the division. It is going to come down to the wire. Mookie, bet to add some weight, ladies and gentlemen. I guess drive line, which some of you may be familiar with. Drive line is like that baseball school or whatever, training academy for pro ball players that can see Seattle, maybe somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. And for a while, it used to just be for pitchers, just to build up arm strength, build up, you know, Yankees, Jose, to build up, you know, spin rate and all that sort of stuff and strength and blah, blah, blah. But in recent years, more and more hitters have been going there. They get they get analyzed by this independent team and blah, blah, blah, blah. And they looked at Mookie Betts and they said, Hey, well, you know, you're Mookie Betts. We like what you're doing here. And after their analysis, they're like, You know what? We'd love to see you gain a little weight. I think new Mookie added some LBS's. And I think he's been given the directive by the Dodgers to just try to hit for a power a little bit more, which he has at sacrifice to his average. But but yeah, he's he's hitting for power a lot more, you know, if you have Freddie Freeman hitting behind you, you can be a little more aggressive, right? Here's a nice Aaron judge for the Yankees. Nice variation. That is a number 173. Ooh, that was almost a Homer by Mookie. Nice one. That's Jose with the Yankees. Nice one. Love the variations. Ken Washington. That's right, Jason. That's where it is. There's Cody Clemens, Rogers kid to $199, Aqua Lava. And they got a Scottsdale office, too. Yeah, Reds do look like that's why I thought they would nice. There you go, Mookie. That's a double. Nice job. There's Freddie Freeman. He's up next. Possible outside chance at MVP Dodgers. That's going to go to Girvon. But yeah, that's how I thought Reds would make moves. You know, just to support that young team. But maybe they just want to be a little more patient. They're like, we don't need to be aggressive there. Here's a Freddie Freeman to $299. Let's see what Freddie can do here. I say Freddie rips one down the right field line. Double. Scoring Mookie bets. There you go. I think Jay's all the same move. I think Drive Line and Mookie working with weighted bats in the offseason, too. Increase that bat speed a little bit. Yeah, I think it's work, Jay. His home run totals. I mean, when's the last time he's had 30 plus homers in a season? I think it's been a minute or two. No, he actually had 35 last here. Oh, it is down the line, but the left field line. I said right field line. But I did call the double because he only had 23 home runs in 2021. But if he starts to consistently get that 32, he's averaging 32 homers a season, according to the 162 average. And there's Justin Seale. He's been having a nice season. Cubs, Ed P. So Jay's saying the Red didn't want to pay the price in a seller's market. Sure, that's true. Minor league system is loaded and coupled with a cheap owner. But they are positioned to be good for a while. Yeah, I thought they would do that. I thought they'd get a reliever. I thought they'd get a starting pitcher. You know, I thought they'd be aggressive, but you know, if you got a cheap owner, maybe cheap owners thinking, oh, nice, Will Smith, ball with eyes. You know, you're just going to just pay, you know, keep them under team control as long as possible. Maybe try to make a run, rinse, repeat. It kind of sucks though, you know, the young kids putting in all this work, you know, the inevitable rookie sort of swoon was probably going to happen. And they got, you know, a couple of veteran players kind of giving them a boost or something like that. I thought it would be nice, you know, do it for Joey Votto. You know, let's, let's, Joey Votto's, I don't know how many more years he has, be awesome to see him in the playoffs, leading a bunch of youngsters. I wouldn't be surprised if he was not, excuse me, if he was not eligible for rookie of the year. The whole situation has got me choked up here. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't eligible. I feel like he started the season a little too late. He might not be qualified, might not be qualified. Oh, he is eligible, Jay saying. Yeah, he's cooled off considerably too since his hot, hot start. Yeah, I think Corbin Carroll is easily, you know, leading the way. It's Carlos Perez to 350. Magenta Speckle. We've got a Tristan Casas Refractor. That's going to go to Stephen Carney. Nice. Another run for the Dodgers. Javier Baez and a printing plate. So Baez to 99. And that's a nice one too. Fernando Datis Jr. Printing plate for John and the Padres. Nice. And you know what that means, John? John knows. All aboard the Big Head Express. It's a good spot for him to sign it if you ever run into him. We've got a Gunnar Henderson Refractor. Corbin Carroll speaking of Ronald Cooney Jr. MVP favorite. So far. Now, poor Josh Young, out for like six weeks I think with a fractured finger or something like that. He had a shot at rookie, at some rookie of the year votes. It was Jeter Downs for the Red Sox, 334 out of 499. Stephen Carney with Boston. Who's, who's got the AL rookie of the year? Is that as clear as the NL? I don't think it is. So Josh Young was the favorite. Or at least according to this data is the favorite plus 175. Gunnar Henderson's behind him at plus 190. Yoshida's behind Gunnar at plus 225. Then it jumps to 25 to 1 with Hunter Brown, Volpe, Tanner Bebe, etc., etc. I don't think those guys are gonna get close. There's a nice Corbin Carroll prism for Sean Maddock and the Diamondbacks. Yeah, Masataka, Jaycee. Gunnar Henderson maybe. But yeah, I don't know. I think Josh Young, that unfortunate injury I don't think is gonna keep him in that, in that race. There's Giancarlo Stanton. Look at this top loader. Come on, top loader. There we go. That is three out of 50. Nice authentic relic for the Yankees, Jose. All right, two more boxes go. Let's take a quick look at how these guys are doing. In the last 15 games, Gunnar Henderson's hitting 242, four home runs, 10 RBIs, a stolen base, a 788, OPS, which is not bad. What about Yoshida? How's Yoshida doing in his last 15 games? Hitting 246, one home run, and what looks like a not-as-good-of-an-OPS. 279, OVP, 351 slugging. Seven something? About the spec? Kind of similar actually. I don't know. That could be a race to watch. Your AL rookie of the year. If your team is not in danger of going to the playoffs, that could be something to keep an eye on for fun. I think that's for the hobby too. Seeing a nice battle. Nice wild pitch. Odder's advanced. A little smith goes to third, or pass ball. Probably grounds out, but Dodger's up for nothing. Nice. We've got a Bryce Harper green Sonar, 94 out of 99. Phillies, that'll be for Mallory in the fighting fills. And your autograph is an Orange Wave Auto, 15 out of 25, Michael Harris. Michael Stapleton with Michael Harris. There you go, Mike's. Nice one. Love that orange. It really pops. Little jaspy orange. Photo negative. Xander Bogarts, Padres edition. Showtime. Chaumatic with the Angels. 12th and final box. One more case to go. Chaumatic might be a little over an hour a case. I'll start picking things up a little bit here. Put things up in the second case. Sometimes we get sidetracked. I want to look up stats. I need like a producer to look up stats for me. Feed info into an earpiece or something like that. Like a broadcaster. How's Michael Harris? How's he doing this season? HVAC. His football makes it done tonight if you buy spots. Yeah, if you help sell it out. Absolutely. You've got time for it. We've got ghosts for every single break on the website. Eric, what's going on? What is this break? Did I put it on the schedule? Maybe I've got to put it on the schedule. It's on the schedule. It's your dual case break. This is the 12th box of 24. You want to do some more? You want to break some more tops from baseball? Got another case for you here if you want to rip that. Yeah, feel it. We've got plenty. I think there's another green box of that in there, right? Okay. Thanks, Eric. Yeah. What's the technology issue? You have a no iPhone? They've told us they are working on a desktop version and an Android version. It is in the works. It's been in the works. It's been in the works. They just need to finish it. Jermaine Palacios. When we had a meeting with them at the National a couple of weeks ago, they said Detroit Larry. They said back then a couple of months, I don't have an iPhone either, but I do have an iPad. If you happen to have that, you can definitely download that to your tablet and watch that way for now. Joe Ryan for the twins, Dan O. Magenta. No, it's through a, you have to download the Fanatics Live app. Oh, you were on the iPad? You couldn't find it? You should be able to find it. I found it, Fanatics Live. It is currently on my iPad. Yeah, for some reason, I don't know. I don't need an iPhone. That was last week probably. Yeah, I've had it since they released it on my iPad. It should be in the App Store. All right. Case one in the books. Case two on the way. So yeah, it's been on there for a while. We'll do an autograph, another special card recap, and case two. You're out of the zone. Is there a zone? Are you really out of, is there really a zone? Oh, what a catch. Is that David Peralta? Robbing homers? Will you always got a smile on his face? I never see him smile during a game. Wow. I mean, if Kunya Jr. is out for any extended period of time, Grizzly Bees, and yeah, Freeman might get that, might take the edge on that MVP race. Oh, timed it perfectly right over the yellow stripe in the outfield. David Peralta climbing the ladder. Rulio Uri is tip of the cap. He loves it. Preserving the shutout. Man, yeah, are we setting, are we sleeving the Freeman's instead of the Kunya Jr.'s now? Man, it's changing on a night-to-night basis. All right, first box, second case. Another hour to go. Good luck, everybody. You're just showing us this is the 2023 Top's Chrome Baseball. Dual hobby case rate, 24 boxes. Pick your team 10 on a Tuesday. There will be a recap at the end, so keep an eye on that. Yeah, are we just walled at chucking the Kunyas out of here, sleeving up the Freeman's? That'll be a fun race to watch. A real fun race to watch. This guy's having, there's no doubt about Otani as they AL MVP. I'm dunking Uriam. Should have gotten those, uh, got those units in. Luis Arias to 350, probably your, your batting title winner. Probable now that Josh Young's out for a little while, maybe Gunnar Henderson's your favorite for the AL Rookie of the Year award. Natalie Rushman refractor, nice. Orioles, Kenny. Although Duncan, they may not move the markets until the news on Kunya Jr.'s more clear. Maybe we should jump in on it. Freddie Firmin, unless they take it off the board. D.Y. with the Royals. And whenever the Royals move. Justin Verlander, yankings. Metz edition to 99, Greenwood. Nice Riley Green refractor. Tigers, Larry. There are some base Riley Greens in there, but that's the kind of stuff I was looking for, the refractors. Alright, box one of the second case. You know, all these boxes that I've ripped open for 2023 Top's Chrome Baseball. Nick pointed something out that I didn't even realize. This is double Adley Rushman on the box. I just assumed the other player was like Mount Castle or Henderson or something like that. No, it's double Adley Rushman. It's the whole box. Do you think the family's collecting boxes of 2023 Top's Chrome? Adley on the box? Maybe Adley's sister is buying cases of this storing in her closet? He had a long chapter in Verlander's upcoming autobiography, My Three Months as a Met. I'm sure you could write a lot about that, actually. I was talking up James Alvin and then he crowns out. She's easy on the eyes, Grizzlies. And Adley's a good-looking kid, too. What their parents look like? Are their parents like supermodels? Yeah. What's the Adley Rushman contract going to look like? I mean, a catcher who's hitting 273, over 1,000 OPS, 15 home runs, 55 RBIs, hitting over 300 the last week. A catcher that can provide that. Not too many catchers like that. Now, 800 OPS, my bad. 800 OPS, 19 doubles. You could probably, with that bat, he calls a good game, too, from what I understand. Nice Otani prism. I think he calls a good game, too. He's a good defensive catcher, number one overall pick, all that sort of stuff. The pedigree, the hitting, the bat, the maturity. You can easily slide him off of catcher in the middle of a 12-year contract that Grizzlies is suggesting. Slide him into that DH roll with that bat of his. Here's Elio Hernandez, 44 out of 150. Blue-ray wave for the Rangers. That's going to go to Matt Bristow. And with the way a nice Acunia junior refractor. And with the way contracts are going up every other year. That is going to be a giant contract. With Josh Youngout, Yoshida's got a good chance at Rookie of the Year as well, Stephen Carney. Justin Verlander was at the restaurant that you worked out last night. Nice. Yeah, that's a good fit. Back of the Astros. Here's Max Meyer to 150. Blue, Miami, Chris. Yesterday's dodging game was wild. Yeah. How do you like that Mugi Betz Grand Slam? Dude, I know. I actually called it out, I was getting it right there. Oh yeah, let's go with watching it. I'll turn it. Oh, that turned out real nice. Yeah, let's go with watching it, too, right there. Is that a little color in there, too? No, it's just my skin. Oh, it's just just because it's fresh, it's pink, little. Yeah, I was like, I was looking at the Grand Slam, and then I was like, oh, what are you saying that's not going to happen? I should have bet on it. I should have been like, who's buying dinner next? Look at this, Jackie's six cases of Abhi. Four over there. I got two here. Good luck sorting team. 77 out of 199, MJ Melendez. Uh, we were talking about yesterday, Eric Houston. Dodgers were down. Gonslan had given up a bunch of runs, and then Dodgers had a big inning. And there was a Mugi Betz Grand Slam yesterday that was, you know, clutch, and they ended up beating the Padres. All right, another box. Well, it looks like whenever you put a Mugi in your fansign, you don't do so well. Was he out of your lineup yesterday? That's the worst. You can't time those. You're like, all right, this guy's slumpy. I won't put him in the lineup. And then he hits. Right. I do that too. I'll do that with like some of my utility guys, Brandon Marsh or like Mickey Moniac or something like that. He's Mickey Moniac's more, but even with writing, you know, I'll be like, man, he's slumping. I'll take him out of the line. The next thing you know is a two home or day. And I put him in the next day and goes over five or four strikes. What restaurant do you work at? Do you want to shout it out? You're on the East Coast, right? Oh, that's right. Yeah, you're in Maryland. Right. You're in line to be Baltimore's first Michelin star. Nice. Neve Moe, that's right. We do have an alternate stream on Twitch, which we kind of use as a backup case. The YouTube stream goes down or something weird happens. Is that the autograph? Should I start on this side? Well, if you're in the ball, oh, there's the autograph. Man, trying to slow play the auto, but David Valar wants to show himself. That's going to go to Dano and the Giants. What, uh, what do we got in? What do we got at Charleston? What should we get at Charleston if we're in Baltimore? You know, the national used to roll around to Baltimore, Eric Houston. That was, I don't think it's in the rotation. It hasn't been for a little bit. I don't think it's in the rotation anymore, but I've never been to Baltimore and I'd like to go. And the national would be a good excuse for me to go. Here's refractor Corbin Carroll, Sean Mattick. That would be a good excuse for me to go. A good excuse for me to maybe go to a ball game, see Canem Yards, which looks beautiful from TV. Here's Verlander, 99. You know, maybe visit Charleston. Maybe the, there's an aquarium, right? I think, I think, uh, Baltimore has, Baltimore has a nice aquarium that I, that I could visit. All right, the Freddie Gray stuff, the Freddie Gray riots, the COVID, stupid COVID. Here's Bryce Harper to 99. That is a image variation. Nice. That is for the Phillies Mallory, but the fight and fill is nice. It's a cool one. The aquarium is very nice. There's Tyler Stevenson to 250. Ooh, I, that's not, I think Jason's pulled a couple. I have not seen any taco fractors. Yeah. That Harper's nice, right? We want taco. We've got a Volpe refractor for Jose and the Yankees. We want taco. Yeah. I don't know why that emote came up. Neva Moe quote the Raven speaking of Baltimore. Yeah. I know they're out of five. We did pull a red in a jumbo case the previous, the other previous rake ago, a couple rakes ago. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. So if I could do that, maybe we're warming up to some tacos. I think the Lakers, I'm sure other basketball teams have this problem too. I think the Lakers were like, if the opponent scores under X amount of points during a Lakers game, everyone gets Jack-in-the-box tacos or something like that. And so toward the end of certain games, you'll hear the home team, the home crowd chanting, we want tacos. Who doesn't? Although not a fan of the Jack-in-the-box taco. So the aquarium is not cheap enough. I gotta check it out. I like the aquarium. California's got a great aquarium up north. Monterey, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Check out some otters. Everyone's seen the story about the otter who is a commandeering surfboard in California. It's a pretty cute story. There you go, Julio Urius. It's good to see Julio Urius getting locked in. So it's a walk here for Julio Urius. I don't know that, I don't know if the Dodgers are going to re-sign Julio Urius, ladies and gentlemen. I think, I think that Julio Urius money is going to go to Otani. And so if, I mean obviously if Otani's signed, I don't think Urius is getting re-signed. Dodgers could lose Urius if the Dodgers are waiting on Otani and then Urius gets picked up by someone else. Yeah, you think Tops did the taco facts, who's going to Taco Bell promo during the playoffs? Tops has been around for a while. That promo has been around for a while. Why now, Rex? There's Brian O'Keefe, 131 out of 499. Mariners, that'll be for Michael. Someone finally thought about it. A little too on the nose, isn't it? It would make more sense if Tops had like a partnership with Taco Bell, you know, go to Taco Bell, get a pack of cards or something like that if there's some sort of cross promotion, but short of that, I don't think that's the reason why they do things, Rex. I'm hoping to see Otani with the Dodgers. I don't know. It's a mystery. It seems to be a foregone conclusion. A lot of people are just assuming that Otani is going to go to the Dodgers, which makes me feel like then it's less likely to happen if it's speaking of on the nose, if that's just too on the nose. It's Tyler Freeman to 99, Green Wave card that is for John and the Guardians. I don't know, somehow Artie Moreno uses Wizard, uses the Elder Wand and then, you know, somehow convinces Mike Trout to say with the team. I think the player hit a home run. Is it a home run? I thought it was Steela Bay, Steela Taco. Isn't that the promo or did they change it this year? Are they even doing it this year? I've heard people speculate that Taco Bell won't do it because stolen bases are up. They'd be giving away a ton of tacos. A lot more than they usually would. I don't think I've ever seen the home run version of that. That could be a local promo. Honestly, I mean, if there could be a home run promo, I don't know for sure, but the big Taco Bell promo that I know in the playoffs, or it's just in the World Series too, I think, isn't it? Or is it all the playoffs? Not to remember, but it's Steela Bay, Steela Taco. There's a promo. I don't think there's a home run one. Ah, so Scott seemed Duncan do something locally when X team wins by X amount of runs. Do you get something? A coffee? A pastry maybe? Oscar Gonzalez. Magenta to 3.99. Got an Outman or Refractor. I was talking about him and I don't think he's been on base today. Gervan with the Dodgers and John with the Guardians and Betz with a double play. Anyone else know of their local team doing a fun promo? I think for the Dodgers is if you score, if the Dodgers pitching staff, and there's Marco Pell, nice rookie auto for the Phillies, 250, could feel a good story there. I think for the Dodgers, it's if the pitching staff has 10 strikeouts, then with the purchase of a large drink at Jack in the Box, I think you get a Jumbo Jack. And then I mentioned the Lakers do think of a team scores under, it used to, the number keeps going up every year, it used to be like under 100 points. Many years ago it would be, you would get a free taco at Jack in the Box or something. Jack in the Box, spending a lot of money on promos here in LA, but that number creeped up to like 105. I think it's like at 112 now. And Scott was mentioning when by a certain number of runs, Dunkin' Donuts does something. Anyone else want to share their food related promos for their local teams, their local professional teams? I think the Lakers also had, what else did they have? I think they would have like one year they did Papa John's, another year they did Winx Stop, I think Lakers, like if they win a game on the road, if they win a road game, the next day you can get, use code Lakers win or whatever, and you can get 25% off your next order or something like that on a, I think Papa John's did it for a number of years and I think Winx Stop did it for a number of years too. There you go. Wow, Freddie Freeman three hits tonight, geez. Jack in the Box running these promos, yeah people subconsciously think of them when they add some beverages or some other substances, right? When the late night munchies happen, all these little Jack in the box promos, if they're doing, they know what they're doing, they know. HVAC Tips is asking who's down for the football me? I am, I'm down for the football mixer, so is, who's in the football mixer already? So is Kym, Lorenzo's already in it, Jason, Julian, Aaron, Alan, we got Jason, Jared, Jason, Jared, Kevin and Steven in the filler for the football mixer, we gotta do a couple of those and then we're in Brakesville. HVAC would get to, do you have HVAC tips for us today? By the way, you know maybe if we sell out the Brakes, we'll get some free tips, how about that? Let's sell out the football Brakes, let's get some free HVAC tips, jaskyscasebrakes.com. We still got a little ways to go on this Brake, maybe another half an hour or so, but while I'm doing this, get some spots in that. While we're breaking this, you can get into that. So we're not Yentiel Montage, why does Dave Roberts want to lose this game? And we've got a James Almond autograph, nice. For my Dodgers, Dodger Joe Mojo, Gervan Gates with that one, there you go Gates. Got some good flow there, decent autograph, good penmanship, solid player. Ooh, good for it to get picked off. Ooh, did Freddie get picked off? So yeah, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to get into the football mixture, there's some full spots left and we've got to work on two fillers to give away the remaining spots. If the full spots move faster than the filler, then we could cancel a filler and add more full spots back in, but that could work too. Here's J.P. Crawford, 004 out of 199. A color match for the Mariners, Michael. Freddie Freeman picked off, there goes his MVP odds. Nice, Richard, thank you, appreciate it. You should get an order confirmation in your email, make sure you look out for that until you know you've got guaranteed spots that you've locked in your spots, that is. But remember, we've got full spots to go, we've got two fillers to work on as well. We've got plenty of time to do it tonight. So if you want to do it, get into it now and we can make that happen tonight. After all this baseball, doing a little NFL might be a nice little change of pace. All right, halfway through this break, half an hour to go, six more boxes to go, six more autos to go, plenty of parallels to go. Will we see a taco fracker? Will we see a one-of-one super fracked? That'd be nice. We want tacos. No one else has fast food promos to share in relation to their professional teams. Yeah, I mean, it won't be too long before both baseball and football will be hot commodities. That's a good part of the year, good part of the sports calendar. September, you get the final push for the playoffs and baseball, playoffs in October. So baseball will still be hot. And then NFL collecting really starts to heat up. Once people start seeing pre-season games happen, once people start seeing, when people's fancy drafts get set, once week one gets underway, you know, I mean, NT football is coming out tomorrow as well. Now, remember that football mixer that Richard Sockin' about is part of tonight's promo where you can win a lot of break credits, top three and $1,000 of break credit each, which would go a long way to buying some teams at NT football for tomorrow. So let's work on that. Let's get her done. And we got Michael Massey, DUI with the Royals. We've got Alex Bregman to $3.99 for the Strohs. That'll be for Zach, Michael Massey, black and white, or a photo negative that is, not black and white, photo negative parallel for DUI and the Royals. Nice Acuna Junior Technicolor, Spencer Steer, autograph, Reds, Josh with the red legs. He's been having a solid season. Saw another Acuna Junior base and a Spencer Steer prism. Nolan Gorman prism, we've got the Cardinals Ryan with the Cardinals and we've got Christopher Morrell, Blue Sonar to $125. That'll be for the Cubs, Ed P with the Cub East. You got Rosario to $350 for the Padres, Yoshida, Freeman Refractor, possible chance at an MVP for that MVP buyback. Why don't they do a Cy Young buyback? You think they should start doing that? I feel like hitters usually get all the love hobby-wise, right? Probably boost the pitching market for the hobby a little bit. Maybe the buyback pro maybe wouldn't be as much, but it's still be something. Now I'm fairly certain that Garrett Cole I think is still the favorite for AL Cy Young. I guess Framber Valdez is a bit behind him. Odds-wise, in the NL, I think it's a little bit closer in the NL. Zach Allen, Spencer Strider, I guess maybe those two guys Blake Snell might have an outside chance. Like that. Odds, at least according to Vegas Odds. If there's like a Cy Young buyback program, it'd be kind of cool. Daniel is saying the next Chrome Jumbo case down 11. We've got time to do that tonight. We would have to fill that by, we'd have to fill that within an hour if we want to get that on the books tonight. That's the latest. Obviously could fill it sooner than that too. Rodriguez, purple chromed, 250. Mariners have been playing some hot baseball lately and they're leading the Padres to nothing tonight, middle of the eighth going into the bottom of the eighth in Seattle. There's Bryce Harper to 150. Blue Chrome for the Phillies, Mallory. Behind Van Herrera is Germain Palacios for Larry and the Tigers. Tiger uppercut. Three to go, almost there. I'm dragging a little bit here towards the end on this one but we're getting there. We're getting there. Angels, what are you doing? Top of the eighth. Angels are only leading by a run. I think they're up what four nothing early on. Maybe in the middle of the fourth inning or something like that. Top of the eighth. HVAC. You get two more spots. Do we break it? No, we remember we got those two fillers to knock out. We got to do those giveaway breaks. If you look at the mixer and look right next to it, there'll be something that says six or seven mixer spot giveaway or something like that in the title. We've got to do two of those. But if you buy those two last spots, I could cancel one of those fillers, add some full spots back in and make the current filler the last filler and that gives us better odds to get that done tonight. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Remember all the, you know, not every case is going to be a banner, right? It's just statistically just can't happen. So when we, when we go through, you know, a less than stellar case, ooh, nice rushman to 75. When we go through that, you know, a lot of people kind of hang their head and go, man, never again. But the sharp collectors would be like, well, we got that out. We got a not a good case out of the way. Kenny with the O's. So it gives us better odds that the next case will be, will be better. You know, with, with each, with each not so good case we see, we're, we're getting closer to a good case. It's only a finite amount of cases, right? Especially with a product like Top's Chrome. Right. Yeah. Hey, that's, that's, that's my attitude. That's why I try to convince people. You got to play to win, right? Don't hang your head after a bad break. And then you got to think, well, the bad ones out of the way. Better odds that the next one is going to be better than the one before. That's usually the case. 45 out of 50 Oswald Paraza. Gold wave autograph for the Yankees. Jose. It's especially with pick your team, especially with like that NT coming out tomorrow. Speaking of breaking strategy. I've seen people by the same team, like three breaks in a row. And then they end up going, ah, shoot, forget it. I'll pass on the fourth break. But guess what? That's, that's when that hit pops. You know, I mean, if you're just kind of shooting, you know, just a single shot and just playing it that way, that's fine. But if you're already like three or four teams in on a pick your team for three different, three or four different breaks of, for example, NT, like tomorrow, hey, at this point, by the fourth and the 15, if the first three weren't very good, because that's usually when a break like that or product like that will smack in the face and be like, yeah, you should have bought that, that X, that team just one more time. I know it's pricey. So it's kind of a hard strategy to, to really be disciplined on. But it's usually the way to do it. NT generally has a giant checklist too. So very possible that the big hits could be in the very next case. There could be nothing for teams in the first three breaks. And then all of a sudden, everything in the next case. So that's, excuse me, that's the ups and downs of group breaks, ladies and gentlemen. That's right. That's what Gretzky said, you miss 100% of the shots. You don't take, that's the kind of mentality we try to, try to carve out here. I know it's hard. You know, when you have a bad day on some group breaks, it's hard to kind of be excited about just trying again, getting back into it. But, but we try to cultivate positive attitudes here. We've seen this happen with sports teams. The second one person hangs his head or her head and then that the next person's hanging their head and next person's hanging there. Then all of a sudden you're losing a ball game that you were leading in. Or you're never coming back from a game. You know, but the teams that can come back from 10 runs down or something like that, be able to win in the end. Teams that are getting, football teams getting blown out in the first half. How do some of those come back and win? But mentality, staying within your budget, being knowledgeable about the checklist, being smart about how you're playing things. Obviously, all that counts right there. You know, so, come on Rex, family show. I also think consistency is important too. You know, I think too many people like put all their eggs in one basket in one break. And then it doesn't go well. And they're like, Oh, this sucks. You know, diversify your portfolio. You got to protect your neck. You know, get a few spots in a lot of breaks. You know, there's Alex Bregman to 3.99. Yes, even, even at this point at night, Rex, you got to be more, just be more subtle than that. Ooh, look at this. Sammy Sosa, All-Star, Ultra Viad, All-Stars Green to 99. That's Ed P and the Cubs. Nice. I like that green border right there too. Nice. And Ezekiel Tovar, Rookie Autograph for the Rocks. And it's going to be for John. And Sosa, just so, so, hope. Why is that? Ms. Francisco Alvarez, Prism, Metz, Scott, Paul Goldschmidt, Photo Negative, and Bobby Wood Jr. Nice. Game used material. Royals, D.Y. Final box, 24th box coming up. We made it. Thanks everybody. We're at the hour 54 mark. So this will be just a little over two hours. It's about the time I anticipated here. We're going to do a recap after this. So keep an eye out for that. We'll upload the video. And then we'll go through some orders and we'll see what else we can get into. Good luck. 24th box. Yeah, it'd be nice to pivot to something a little different, right? Maybe some NFL. Maybe that football mixer after this. We have two hours left in the show, so we don't have an infinite amount of time. In fact, we're in the fourth quarter of the show. We're running out of time. So if you want to get some more breaks done, spots have got to start moving right now. Not after the break, not when breaks, not when a break starts to get close or whatever. No, it has to start now. Otherwise, otherwise the momentum is going to happen too late. We'll fall short. Time will be up on the show. We'll have to do this tomorrow. We don't want to wait until tomorrow. I'd rather do it tonight. That's right. Yeah, hit the buy button says H-Back. Take a risk. Get a banger. Absolutely. Think about what's the best second half. Everyone always thinks what's the worst second half. What's the best second half? It's George Springer. Purple speckled a 250 for the Bluebirds. That's going to be for DY. And I thought this might be numbers. Shay Langlears. Ken Wallachick to 199. Aqua Lava. I mean, if he sells that breakout dunk, we might have to put him on the table. No, I mean, you should be encouraged. You know, by H-Back, Richard being as excited as he is about the break. Listen, you know me, ABC always be closed. I'm always going to talk up a break. That's my job, right? You know, if you're on the fence about a break, don't listen to me. Listen to the people who are advocating for the break. There's Marcus Wilson last break, 24th auto of the case break, 156 out of 499. That's for the ends. That'll be for Michael. Michael with Marcus. Any other parallels to close things out? Got another Adley Rushman, Drew Waters Refractor, and that is that. We made it 24 boxes of Topps Chrome hobby in the books. Let's do a quick recap. Now there's tons of numbered cards, tons of base rookies, all that good stuff. All that's going to be top loaded and chipped by our sorting and chipping team. They do an amazing job. First case, some nice stuff. The Orange Wave, Giancarlo Relle, Corbin Carroll Prism, the Tetease Jr. printing plate. That got a train whistle. The Aaron Judge variation was awesome. The Acunio Jr. prism, like seeing that gold image variation right there as well. That was the first case. The second case, what you just witnessed, and you got the Sammy Sosa Ultra Violet. We got Adley Rushman to 75. Got a James Outman. We got a Bryce Harper image variation. Corbin Carroll Refractor, Ohtani Prism. Adley Rushman Refractor. A lot of great stuff, ladies and gentlemen. There you go. I'm Joe for jasmiescasebreaks.com. Thanks for getting into that double header. 24 box of Topps Chrome baseball hobby edition. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
