 Hi everyone, happy Thursday night. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com and that, this is our last break of the night, 2021 top chrome baseball 12 box hobby case, pick your team number two, which filled after pick your team three, if you're wondering about the order. Big thanks to this group here for getting in on the action, I appreciate it. Thursday the 26th, all right, pick your team two. Now if you have a little rooftop over your name like Travis does, that means you won a spot. Remember we did like a filler pack and we gave away some teams, so that rooftop means you won a team. So congrats, Sean A ended up getting the last team before we pulled out all those teams for the filler. So that's why he's a little last spot mojo star next to his name. All right, good luck gang. Now, I'll tell you what, the super search continues. I think this is the right case, right? Top's Chrome H, the super search continues. If you're just joining us for this video, I did a case, a hobby case not too long ago, just a few moments ago before I started this video. No super. I think on the personal break side, we've ripped a lot of hobby and jumbo boxes. No super. I think the closest we got was maybe Teddy Jaspy might have pulled like a red wave or a red out of five or something like that. But otherwise, five minutes in a red, to be honest with you. I'll be happy with a train whistle head, but no super. The super search continues. So hang with me, hang with me here because we just might see something special late at night. You just might see something special. I hope that's the case. The super search. I feel like, I mean, it's hard to say things like this. It's like saying that a number in roulette is due, right? But I feel like we're due. Actually, you probably can say that in the hobby because unlike roulette, which I guess is an independent, which is an independent dice roll or independent roll, independent spin, with pops chrome, technically, well, not technically, factually, there are a finite amount of cases, right? There's not an infinite amount of cases. So we can argue that a number like a super fracture is due. Mathematically, I think, am I doing this right? I think so, since it's a finite amount of case, every box that we go through, every case that we go through where we don't see a super fracture, one could argue that we're getting closer to a super fracture. A one of one. Of course, then again, we don't have a monopoly on all the cases, so that makes that difficult as well. So I don't know, maybe something special will happen. Yeah, Adam, this is pick your team two, which filled after three. So the break you or the hobby case you saw before, when you was pick your team three, and when you came back, this is pick your team two, box one of 12, settle in. Get yourself an adult beverage if you're into that sort of thing. Or if you're not, soft drink is fine too, either way. It's all good. Glass of milk perhaps, kick back and relax. And enjoy the soothing sounds of my golden voice and packs being opened up, the gentle rustle of wrappers. Now you're good, good for you, Adam. Thanks for doing your part, appreciate it. All right, let's see what we got in here. Now in the interest of time, cards like this, 136 out of 199, this is Alejandro Kirk for the Blue Jays, Capola. We're just gonna set aside right here because our sorting and shipping team will sleeve and top load all of those. Autographs though, we'll take care of right away. Jorge Guzman, Marlins, Capola. This is work, man, did it, yeah. Oh, you might as well get it out of the way. But yeah, yeah, my arm really hurt after shot one. I think it's worse on shot two. But I didn't feel, aside from my arm, I don't think I, I think some people got more of a flu-like reaction, I was okay after the first two shots. But it did feel like, did I get my left arm, I think? It did feel like I was, I had played like a number of hours of tennis or had thrown like a hundred pitches with a heavy baseball. Andy Young, by the way, goes to Nathan with the Diamondbacks. And I'll try to spot as many of the short prints as possible, but if I miss any, don't worry because I'll catch it. And I'll do an autograph recap at the end. If you're watching this and you're like, I don't wanna sit through an hour of this. If you're watching the replay of this on YouTube, you can fast forward towards the end until you see me do an autograph recap. Maybe hits or parallels that are maybe 25 and under, I'll show off as well. Or maybe, Brian Hayes refractor is pretty cool too. Josh Yoast with the Pirates. Let me save one of those. Rebel saying, your arm was sore for an hour then you were fine. Wives aren't hurt for three days on both shots. I did read somewhere that for whatever reason, this may be for even regular flu shots as well, that for whatever reason women may have a stronger reaction to it. No, my arm hurt, I got it in the morning, hurt that afternoon. Yeah, I got Pfizer as well, hurt that afternoon. And then all day the next day, I mean, I could use it. It's not like my arm was like, I wasn't immobilized or anything like that. Like I could still do things, but like you can be like, oh, you can kind of tell it was stiff. Like kind of like maybe when you were kids or maybe even now, when people, you know, when you would get socked in the arm, would kind of feel like that. So that was, it wasn't that bad. And then the day after that was fine. The second one, I think same timeframe but hurt a little bit more. But it wasn't, that wasn't that bad either. Rebel about passed out after the first shot. You hate needles though, okay. I think in my head I hate needles, but I didn't really look. I kind of turned away and didn't really think about it. And then it just was like a little pinch and then it was like, oh, I was like, that's it? And I'm like, yeah, it's done, okay. Jimmy, what's up? You felt weak and exhausted for a day and a half and you got your second term. Your arm was red for a week. Oliver Soria, I think in the chat, said that he got his first or second and then went out and played golf. He said that was a mistake. I don't know, I know it's a big deal some people. It was, it's not that bad, folks. You had choice of all three? Wait, what's the third one? Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, AstraZeneca, maybe? Yeah, COVID shot didn't hurt as much as Rebel's steroid shots for poison ivy. Oh, Moderna, forgot about Moderna. Moderna not drafted first in the COVID vaccine draft. There's Shane McClanahan, Shane McClanahan for the Rays, Tyler, W with the Tampa Bay Rays. This is box two, by the way. Looking for another two autographs, maybe some chore prints. I think my parents got Moderna, but I think people will make a big deal about what the differences are at him, but I think for most people, I think the differences are negligible. There's Eric Hosmer, 007 out of 199, some Aqua Shimmer for Brian Peoples and his Padres. Right, that's how I felt about it too. I was like, let's just get this over with. And there's Bobby Dalbeck, nice Bobby Dalbeck autograph for Sean M. Sean M won the Red Sox in that filler pack break that we did just before this video. And it was rewarded with a Bobby Dalbeck who absolutely raked in spring training. Hasn't really put together during the season, but he's got plenty of upside. Adam can feel the fight. That was one of my favorite sort of wacky conspiracy theory of things was that somehow the vaccine plus 5G was going to, I don't know, was going to do something with something to do with, or maybe there's something to do with tracking or something like that. And I was just like, yeah, the 5G will definitely track you. Cause you have a phone. Bill Gates is going to put a tracker in you. It's like, there's a tracker on you already. It's your cell phone. The privacy issues that are with like Android and Apple are significant. The amount of data that they pay for you. But we just go, whatever. Jose is saying, yeah, their phones are tracking us forever. So that's your argument for not getting a vaccine. You might need a different argument. Yep. Exactly. You have GPS device on you at all times. Exactly. I love it when people say that on like Twitter and then it has like a Geo tag on their tweet. Bro, not getting the vaccine cause they'd be tracking you, man. And then the Geo tag is like Connecticut. It's like, well, find a different reason. That reason won't work though. Listen, if there's like a religious thing or if there's like a medical thing or if it's, you know, personal preference, you don't want to, just don't feel comfortable getting it. I'll buy all of those. I'll be like, fine, I don't agree with it but I'm not going to make a big deal about it. It's your personal, it's your body, right? It's your personal choice, you know? Just deal with whatever consequences that might come from that. No big deal, right? Like I don't really, I don't really, you know, make a big deal out of it one way or the other, you know? But I will make a big deal. I will not buy the tracking argument. I'll be like, come on, that's just, that's ridiculous. There's Matt Foster, White Sox. That'll be Christopher Gerard with the White Sox. Jimmy, right. Your niece, Jimmy's niece says, I'm not getting, because I don't know what's in it. But yet, she'll take any, she'll just do any kind of quote, unquote, medication from a random dude at a rave. Right, isn't that hilarious? I mean, it's based off of flu vaccine. People have been making flu vaccines for a little, for a minute or two. There's Louis Brinson to 350, fuchsia speckle. It's not like they're, I know it's a different variant, but it's not like it was from scratch. True story, Jimmy says. There's Icopole in the Marlins with that one. Next, right, yeah. I wonder if California is probably not too far behind that we have laws that you can't do anything indoors without like vaccines. You know, they did that in, I think they did that in France. They did that in Paris, right? I mean, it's not enforceable, is it? Are they actually ticketing people for that? Wow, they are ticketing? I mean, we're lucky here in Los Angeles where most people are vaccinated. So we don't have to, we don't run into that issue. I think people are like, yeah, fine, we'll put on masks and blah, blah, blah, blah, but I don't know. I don't know if the, I mean, at this point, like LSU games, proof of vacs to get into football games, I think the Raiders did that. I think the Allegiant Stadium, you have to show proof of vaccination or else, or I mean, I think they're actually having COVID vaccinations on site if you want to. Saints are doing that too, asshole. At the end of the day, it's just a real asshole. But such as the world in which we live, ladies and gentlemen, we just have to do what we think is right and keep on keeping on. Next box, and we got a shirt and a parcel. Texas, Patrick, Davis with the Rangers. Yeah, Vax rates, Gilo's saying in Missouri compared to Kansas here, bad in KC, that's interesting. We've got a Miguel Cabrera, first ballot hall of famer right here, Detroit, zoom in to 299. Josh Hader, Blue Wave to 75. Brewers, that's gonna go to Brian K. And it's Luen Diaz, Marlins, Blue, Autograph, Capola. 76 out of 150. Joplin's kind of a college ecology town, though, isn't it, Rebel? Isn't it a college town or not? Maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else in Missouri. A lot of my buddies in, is there a college there? What's the college there, Rebel? Kind of a big college, no? Missouri, Southern, St. Gabriel, maybe not. I feel like I have a lot of, like half of my fancy baseball league has a Joplin-Missouri connection for some reason and they want to do a draft in Joplin, a baseball draft in Joplin someday. I know, yeah, I think there's a lot of growing anger in Gila. These people, all right. It is what it is, this is the bed we've made. Travis is saying, isn't Lake of the Ozarks there? I'm not familiar with the drives there. I want to visit the Ozarks someday. And the Smoky Mountains, I want to check out. And the Appalachians. Any part of the Appalachians. I guess north of the Smoky Mountains. Are the Smoky Mountains part of the Appalachian Mountain range? I don't know. I'll check them out. Another box and another two autographs. And we got a Tyson Miller. It's a nice bold autograph there for the Cubbies. Sean A, last spot mojo, strikes again. TMI. And then we've got a Kyle Tucker, Purple Chrome to 299. Yeah, we need a super here. Still have not seen a super yet. There's a Green Wave Josh Bell, 80 out of 99 for the Pirates, Josh Yos with Josh Bell. There's Mark Matthias. I'm not even talking a super auto. Just a regular, just a non-auto super is fine too. 203 out of 499. That's a brewer that's going to go to Brian Kay. What's the per pack cost of Topscomb this year? Don't know. But it might be on our other website, Adam. Or Travis, that is. Or Adam was asking that question, sorry. I think if you go to jaspys.com, where our personal breaks are, you should be able to see our per box price and then just divide for pack or we might be selling some stuff by the pack. There's a Cabrine Hayes hyper going to Josh and the Pirates. Super search continues. You know, the weird thing with 2021 baseball is that there really hasn't been like a clear cut rookie that has been lighting it up or at least capturing the imagination of collectors in the way that say Aaron Judge did or Otani did, you know? Or even Vlad Guerrero Jr. did, you know? So really hasn't been that player yet, but these 2021 stuff gives me the feeling that a rookie will emerge, maybe like a season or two later and then people will be wanting to come back to, revisit 2021 product. No. Yes. It's, yeah, 24 packs per box, four cards per pack. And I don't know what the Jumbo configuration is. Maybe half that? I'm not saying load up on cases. I'm just saying, I'm just saying if you're kind of, you know, kind of down on 2021 baseball, I'm just trying to give you silver lining. Jimmy, what's that? So it's fanatics and to have the rights to the big three sports or is it just baseball and basketball? They have the rights to the big three sports. They've got the exclusive license to all three major players associations, MLB, NBA and NFL. Kids these days are getting wrong. They don't know any better, Adam. You don't, like, you know how many kids come into our shop buying boxes and packs? They have no reference point. Yeah, Travis, people have mentioned that too, that it seems a little more pitcher heavy this year in Chrome. I don't know, which might make the hitters just that much better? It's not as many. So it could be a good supply and demand thing, like Joe Adele starts going off in the next couple of seasons. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing if it's pitcher heavy, but it's 160 at 399, but pitchers don't sell as well in the secondary market. So some may consider it a bad thing. They're kind of like wide receivers. There's just a lot. There's like what, four or five wide receivers on every football team. Why do quarterbacks sell better? 32, it's only 32 starting quarterbacks out there. So same with similar to football where there's a lot more wide receivers, so they don't sell as well on the secondary market as compared to like quarterbacks. We've got Tijay Anton, or Tijay or Tijay Anton. I'm gonna go with Tijay Anton. That's Henry with the red legs. Right, that's what's unique about Otani is that is that he is a more of an everyday player who's hitting and pitching, as opposed to just a every five day starting pitcher who happens to be good with the bat. He's playing every day. There's Edward Oliveris, rookie auto for the Royals, that'll be for Ryan D, but I guess a basketball example would maybe be, I don't know, there's a lot of guards, right? So was Ruth really the last guy before him to be that? I mean, yeah, because usually baseball wise, if you're a kid and you can hit or you can pitch, if you can do both, you're just through high school and college or if you get drafted out of high school, you have to pick one. The general rule of thumb and just historically, it's been pick one because you can't do both. So it's just like, just focus 100% on pitching or just focus 100% on hitting or something like that. Kids at a young age probably by the time you're signed as a pro, even if it's out of high school, even if you're a pitcher that can hit a little bit, I think they'll have you go 100% one way or the other strictly a pure hitter or you're going to be a pitcher. So if you're starting pitcher, right, you're on the bump once every five days. And in between, you're just working on your arm, you're doing bullpen sessions, you're doing whatever, you know, practice and whatnot, conditioning and stuff. That's usually the starting pitcher lifestyle. But what Otani is doing is unique because he's playing pretty much every day. So that every five days or maybe I think they might give him a little extra day, but either way, he's pitching once a week and he's hitting on those days. And he's also hitting on his non-pitching days. And he has 41 home runs. He's leading the league. I mean, he's a modern day Babe Ruth. Yeah. If you want a living example of what, and imagine what Babe Ruth was like back in the day, you just look at Shoei Otani next to Fox. Yeah, what Otani is doing is pretty special. There's Nick Heath. Yeah. Well, I mean, Travis that day, first off that day he's hitting, he's throwing 70 to 80 pitch. He's going like six, seven innings in a game. That's to 4.99. That's for the Royals, by the way, Nick Heath. Yeah, and right. And then the next day, you're like, oh, he's back in the lineup, top of the lineup, still hitting dingers. It's crazy. Royals, Ryan, Ryan D with that one. It's Ryan. It's pretty, it's pretty special. Oh, some orange. Got orange, Lance McCullers Jr., nine out of 25. And a Dane Dunning. Chris Gerard with the White Sox. Orange McCullers going to Icapola, Houston Astros. Well, yeah, that's the whole point, Adam. Yeah, how do you have power to hit after pitching full games? Well, before he couldn't. I think injuries were a big problem for him. I think in Japan, they play far fewer games. So just the sheer length of the season is grueling, especially if you're not used to it. So I think there was just a lot of injuries that broke him down. So when people were collecting his rookie cards, they were really hot his rookie year. And then as Gilo is mentioning, like they were, the prices over the next couple of years just really tanked because he was just always injured. He was just, was not playing well, blah, blah, blah, blah. But there's a great, if you dig around the old interwebs, there's a great article on the athletic, maybe a couple other places too, that talk about how he just overlapped this most recent Oxy's and how he completely rebuilt his body, essentially. I think it was probably his first season, at the end of last season, it was probably the first season he's had that he wasn't getting surgery or rehabbing from a surgery or something like that. So he took that opportunity to completely reconstruct his body, just so he can do the whole pitching, hitting thing at the same time and just survive the entire season. I think a lot of it was lower body stuff, you know? So I think it was him just strengthening his back, strengthening his legs, his hips. You know, I think he went to like, there's like a famous baseball hitting academy maybe in the Pacific Northwest or something like that where he kind of rebuilt his swing a little bit to be just more efficient. So it wouldn't be as exhausting, that kind of thing. Yeah, he was kind of skinny before. He's taller than people think too. He's really tall, like six, two, six, three. But look at his rookie year, he's a little slender. But especially his lower body, his legs, you know, it's where you get the power and the pitching part of it too. A lot of it comes from the legs. And so I think that was the big thing, was just like kind of reconstructing his body so he can just be more efficient and then be able to survive the entire season. You know? Right, yeah, Ichiro did a similar thing. You know, they're pretty disciplined about like, you know, their body and Ichiro, yeah, Ichiro played forever. So if Otani can do that, I mean, Otani cards might be cheap now. Imagine if you can do this for another 15 years. Right, and he's got, I think Travis Melbrook saying he can steal the best of them. Travis, I think he's faster than Mike Trout. I think Trout's pretty quick, but I think Otani's home to first. I think he's a little bit faster than Trout. It was Matt Olson, Fuchsia to 399. But this season was a big comeback for him for sure. I think if, I mean, yeah, you might as well. If you want to hold on to some of his rookies, I don't think that's a bad investment. The hope is, the hope is that this is just a one-time thing. If he can continue staying healthy the rest of this season, keep working on his body and do this again next season. Cause right now I feel like the sense I get from people is that it gets like, okay, welcome back Otani. I'm glad the prices, the values are back up on Otani. There's Ramon Loriano Greenway for the A's, Ben. But they're like, are you going to do this next season? Should I sell now? Or should I, is this time to hold? And I think that's the interesting, interesting sort of internal struggle that people are having with themselves. That is, that is Franklin Cologne. Oh, Colomé. That'll be for Kyle Cook and the Mets. It's Kyle Lewis, black and white. For the M's, Sumin. So like, are we, are we, are we bears on the Otani market? Are we bulls on the Otani market? Hottle to the moon? Who knows? That's the fun, that's the fun part about the hobby. Anastro and Andre Scrubb, purple chrome autograph. 46 out of 250 for Capola and the Stroze. All right, getting there, four boxes to go. Definitely dragging here a little bit. Yeah, that's not a bad one to, yeah. Adam's like, hey, next week I'll try and pick up a PSA 10 of his Topps rookie. Only baseball car that you'll own. That's the only one you own, that's not bad. You still have it, Gilo? Gilo's saying he bought a PSA 10 Otani last year for 70 bucks. Yeah, I remember that we had some in the shop that we were pricing anywhere between $50 and $80. No one was buying it, I should have bought it. You know, believe it or not, the hands are fine. My hands, I've got pretty strong hands. It's more like the shoulder area will kind of, upper back area will kind of get a little sore at the end of, this is like the end of my week, it's my Friday, so yeah, so both my voice and get a little sore. Hands are pretty strong, no pretty strong hands. Guitar player for a long time, still play, you know, played a lot of tennis when I was a kid, so like the hands, forearms, wrists are pretty strong, I wanna say. Sometimes maybe the shoulders, that's where the, that's where it gets a little sore. Just cause I'm not resting my hands, you know, on the table, I'm actually, I actually have, yeah, I actually have my arms lifted up the entire time and I'm standing, you know. Yeah, I don't know how you rip open, you know, cases of magic, there's so many cards and tax in there. I mean, I suppose you could do that more leisurely, you know, I've gotta at least be a little efficient in this break, so this video isn't like two hours long. Oh, nice Joey Bart for my rivals, the Giants, Jose, with the Giants on the board. One of the Giants in that team random, supposed to be future Buster Posey, they're hoping. Nelson Cruz, black and white, another one for, or that's for the Twins, that is, sorry, not for the M's, Twins, Jeremy Taylor with the Twins. I think I've seen a short print yet. All cards ship, so if I missed one, sorry, all cards will ship, but I just thought I'd see one by now, 75 out of 75 or the one that would jump out at me. Albert Poole's Angels Edition, Blue Wave going to Chris Gerrard and that silver Mike Trout will go to you as well, Mike Trout, 86, 85, 86, Refractor. There's Mark Conna, 125 out of 199, Aqua Wave for Ben and the A's. And then an Orange, Orange Auto maybe? Orange Auto for the A's, that's Dalton Jeffries. There you go, Ben S with the Athletics. Nice, seven out of 25, Orange Auto for the Orange. Nice little Jaspy Orange, looks really sharp. Popping out of these sets. All right, three boxes go, we're almost there, thank you. Almost there, stay on target. We'll do an autograph recap at the end as well. The magic stuff Adam S is saying, that's your most expensive collection because your dual lands from your changes, I'm assuming that's a set. I know that the, I mean, if you think like the hobby, like the value out of the hobby, the secondary market stuff has gone crazy. You know, there's Pokemon and magic gathering cards, MTG cards, oh, it's from the first set, okay. Yeah, those can be crazy. Was it the, who opened the, was it the Paul Brothers on YouTube or somebody on YouTube who had ripped open an entire, had bought an entire sealed case of the first Pokemon edition, first edition Pokemon, it was like a $100,000 case or maybe more. I don't know, someone did that, like in the last year, they kept those old Pokemon cards. I think I might have some old Pokemon cards. I think maybe from like the, the second printing, not the original printing, but I think the second printing, if you're still, still okay. And I think I like, I played with them and grouped around with them. So like, I don't know, the surface grades are probably terrible. I think some I could still sell raw for like 30, 40 bucks. Nothing too crazy going. Travis, what's up? With Fanatics, Travis Melberg's asking, with Fanatic talking, monotaking, or monopolizing the card market, is that going to help or hurt the hobby in my opinion? That's a big question that's hovering around, around everybody, Travis. Jaspy's, I tend to be an optimist and a capitalist, right? So my thought is that, why would Fanatics spend all this money getting the licenses of all this sort of stuff and essentially get a, get the golden goose of all these licenses and then intentionally, or not intentionally or, and screw it up. Like it's too valuable for them to screw it up. So you would think that it would be in their best interest to do a good job. So I think that I'm hoping that it'll be good for, I think I'm hoping that it'll be good for the hobby. Well, yeah, and that was just about to touch upon that. Adam, Adam is right. I think the speculation is, and this is something that we've discussed internally as well, you know, I think the common theory. I mean, I don't know if that's really, Adam's calling it. I don't know if that's a hot take. I think a lot of people are discussing that. I think a lot of people are assuming that in the next year or two or three that they're just gonna buy Tops and Panini outright or even better, you know what I would do? Forget Panini. I would buy Tops and upper deck. There's the Mariners, Tumen, or I mean, all three. Why not all three at that point? But that's the thing that would make sense to buy those existing manufacturers that already have decades of experience in the hobby, you know, and then just say, hey, continue doing what you would do, you know? Ooh, nice Joe Adele, fuchsia, speckle, angels. It's her crystal art. So then essentially, it's 106 out of 350 for the angel. Essentially, it would be like, you know, a future set could be Tops Chrome 2025, Tops Chrome Baseball, and like on the bottom would be like a fanatics company or something like that and the little logos right here, something like that. There's Jared Oliva for the Pirates. That'll be for Josh Ost. Well, that's what I'm saying, right? Imagine if upper deck still had basketball. If you're fanatics, you know, you're talking every day to the family that owns upper deck, because I think it's still privately owned. I think it's still a family owned business. If you're fanatics, you're just like, imagine bringing back Exquisite after how long? I don't know, however long it's been since Elastic Exquisite basketball set's been out. Next box, that would be huge. You know, the people who are, you know, kind of thinking more positive about the hobby, and for the most part, Jaspeas is, we've been around for a while and the boss man has been around for a while, Nick's dad. Nick Jaspeas' dad has been around for a while and he's seen it all, you know. So I think it'll be, I think it'll be fine. I think the, some people have argued, hey, maybe that means with fanatics is existing relationships with players, right? And with the amount of money they've played for the licensing, right? People are hoping maybe redemptions will be a non-existent thing. You know, fanatics is already in the Jersey game, right? So maybe it'll be easier for them to get game use jerseys and we know exactly, you know, you have just more provenance, you know exactly where these relics came from. Not a generic game use material kind of thing. Maybe that, maybe the relic game gets stepped up. You know, you know how in tops you'll see those hologram stickers? Maybe that'll be a more common thing. Fanatics authenticated stickers. You know, fanatics already has their authentication stickers. Imagine having that on every piece of Jersey that you get. Imagine if there's more specific dates on where a piece of Jason Tatum's uniform came from, you know, piece of his Jersey. Even if it's a napkin, even if it's a one color patch. Imagine having that extra little bit. I think that changes, I think that there's a lot of game changing potential here quality wise. So I don't know, it'll be interesting. There are a lot of people who, and mostly these people are people that don't know what they're talking about. But I think a lot of people are like, you know, thinking that, oh, like Topps is dead or like Panini's gonna go away or something like that. And I was like, I think fanatics is just gonna try to do everything from scratch. I mean, I'm sure they'll be like fanatics branded products. You know what I mean? But you know, in the way that target has target branded stuff, right? Target cleaning spray, you know, is still there but they're still selling the name brand one, just what you're probably gonna buy, you know? I mean, you can go a thousand different ways here but ultimately, I think as a hobby shop and as a group breaker, I think we're, I think it's tentatively we're thinking it's gonna be interesting. It'll be a different relationship, you know, but we'll see how it works out. For Jaspi's personally, I know that we've got some you know, like I said, Nick's dad's been in the hobby forever. So for us as a business, without saying too much, you know, we have at least working relationships with a lot of the big companies, including fanatics and kind of higher ups at those companies as well. So, you know, we're doing our due diligence to make sure that we're in the right spot, not only for us, but to serve you guys as well. All the collectors here at Jaspi's. David Peterson, 170 out of 350. I think the people that are kind of concerned, that should be concerned maybe, are the distributors. The middlemen, I think was probably the, is probably the most concerned, I would think, all the big distribution companies, because if you're big, bad fanatics, right, you've seen companies like Tops and Panini go try to experiment with like direct selling. Maybe the distributors are probably the most concerned, I would imagine, speculating, but it's not hard to put two and two together. So, but yeah, is the middleman, the reason product is getting price gouged? I mean, that I don't know. I think it probably over the years in the long run, I'll bet it evens out when you, when you look at the books for the last 20 years or something like that. All right, the second auto. Rookie Autograph Aqua, nice little color. C, Chicago Cincinnati, Chicago Cubs, White Sox, Garrett Crochet, Chicago White Sox. Crister Art, with that aqua parallel, there you go, and a free top loader. But yeah, the distribution of the product, I think is gonna be the interesting thing. What's gonna happen there? No one knows. I mean, we can speculate, which we're doing now, we can speculate the entire time. All this is speculation. I don't know who knows, but nice could be terrible for the obvious. They'll kill the golden goose. I don't think they will though, but they wanna make money too, right? They're capitalists, they wanna make money. Is direct better for us? Maybe. I don't know. We don't do a lot of direct buying, so I don't know what that environment's gonna feel like. Especially considering, if you're just buying direct from one company, right? They can just set the market, on whatever they want to. Adam, what if you were, what if there was only one person, one company in the entire United States that made milk to stock your shelves? You can charge however much money they want if they have the market. Probably is a limit of how much the consumer would pay for milk, so that would obviously balance itself out. Yeah, I mean, are there monopoly laws in place? Yeah, antitrust stuff? Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, I feel like the Department of Justice has a lot to worry about. I mean, I don't know. Depends on how, I guess, what is it vertically integrated? This is, I mean, are they, they bought the licenses, then they buy the companies, then they buy the factories that print these things, the big factories in Texas? I have to think about my economics. But, I mean, if you're integrated that way and you're controlling distribution and all that sort of stuff, yeah. But yeah, there could be issues like that that they would have to be concerned about. So maybe they don't cut out distributors, right? Maybe they keep the distribution in the loop so they don't have to run into those issues. It's tricky. You know, when, ooh, an orange auto Tyson Miller, Cubs, Sean A, last Bob Mojo. So it'll be interesting if they're like, hey, we're throwing our, we're swinging our big checkbook around, right? We're buying it, we're buying it. I know, I was gonna say something else because it's a family show, though. It's still a family show, kids still watch, kids are gonna be watching this 60 minute video. Is that our last jumbo case? I don't think I have any more jumbo on our site. I did two last night and I asked him, did he want me to reload it and he said no. So, it should be good. Yeah, just let Nick know what our status is on case quantity. Maybe Phil will get the super. It's Taylor Jones, Astros autograph, that's it. Those are our two autos, all right. Short prints, maybe. A super fracter still holding out hope. All right, Stroze, that's for Capola. Nice break for you. Thanks, everybody, for getting into the action. A nice little bit of conversation. We managed to talk about a lot of things and keep things civil. Which is amazing. I think we have a more opportunity to do that later at night. 74 out of 99, later at night anyway. Uh, do you on Carlos 10 to 99? Maybe it's because more adults are up later. Awake, Luke. Kids have gone to bed. Thanks for watching, folks. I appreciate it. I appreciate you. I appreciate all your support. Listen, don't worry about fanatics. Jaspies, we are not intending to go anywhere because I have nothing else to do. What am I gonna do? Get a real job? This is it. Nick and I have no choice. We have to make this work. So that's why we're gonna keep working hard for ourselves and we're gonna keep working hard for you and hopefully continue to have some fun talking sports and collecting and all this sort of stuff. That's what we're doing. That's what we're trying to do. That's it. It's pretty simple. We keep it simple here at Jaspies. I'm Joe Jaspie. Thanks for watching, everybody. Have a great night. We'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
