 Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's Case Breaks.com. Happy Choo Tuesday. We're coming at you with 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball. Eight box jumbo, pick your team number 23 from Jasper's Case Breaks.com. We've got another jumbo case loaded up. So if you're watching live, be sure to get into it, get your team before someone else does all card ship. Nice fresh case here. Big thanks to this group for making it happen on August the 22nd. Rob, with that quadruple last pod mojo, bought the final four teams, including the Cardinals to get this break on the road. Big thanks to him and big thanks to everybody else as well. Thanks to everyone for making it happen. We could do another one of these tonight too. I'm down. Let's pop this case open. And let's see what we got here. Jasper's maybe in on Jonathan David from The Real, huh? Or an exciting part of the sports calendar, ladies and gentlemen. We got a lot of the European soccer leagues underway. Transfer window happening. You know, maybe less than about a week. A little over a week left in the transfer window. We're getting to the final month of the baseball season. Final week of the NFL preseason. We'll have NFL action. And before you know it, we'll see basketball preseason, hockey preseason. Season will start. There's a lot of sports to watch and discuss. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Hopefully some nice hits for everybody in the late summer and fall as well. What are they gonna do with the other half of that? Harry Kane money, you think? Let's get it going. There's a Technicolor Otani for the Angels. That'll be for Samuel. And Christopher Morel reveals an Ezekiel Tovar to 499. A Jeremy Locke with the Rockies. I know the Rockies have not been playing well as a team, so names like Ezekiel Tovar have been kind of buried. I think he's been having a nice season. Do an autograph recap at the end, along with any other notable cards that we may pull here, image variations, low numbers, et cetera, et cetera. Corbyn Carroll, Anthony Volpe. As long as it turns out better than spending from that bail sale a few years ago. Spurs have always seemed to be, Tottenham always seems to be right on the cusp of just like, I mean, if I told you a few years ago with the numbers that Kane and Sohn were putting up and other players on that team, you would expect a little more on the good coaches they've had, expect a little more. Better results table wise, but, it's Castellanos to 350 for the Phillies. There's Otani, that MVP buyback program is back. He is definitely the, the father, the refractor too. Definitely the favorite for the AL MVP. Here's Luis Librato, who has signed every single card right there. I feel like there's no way I'm signing over my legs. Maybe he works on it, so maybe he's proud of his legs. He doesn't want that, want that to be covered up. Here's a refractor Otani. Francisco Alvarez will save some of those, all card ship with the Josh Young Prism, nice. It's probably on his way to AL Rookie of the Year before he fractured the thumb, maybe something like that. Yeah, Joe Ryan, Josh Young reveals a Logan O'Hoppy, 166 out of 299, that's right, they did have that one magical run, Tottenham. Logan O'Hoppy, I think has, is back, has been back for the Angels, 166 out of 299, Purple, Speckle, Mike Trout coming back today as well. So they got O'Hoppy and Trout. So that closer to full strength for the Angels. Here's Brian Reynolds, Blue Sonar, to 125, Vlad Guerrero Jr., obviously our Garcia, and a nice refractor Francisco Alvarez for the Mets, that'll be for Shawn Matic. All right, good start. Samuel has the Angels, by the way. Dodgers are on the East Coast, or an Eastern time zone, they're in Cleveland, they're up by a run, bottom of the sixth. Bobby Miller on the mound, who has been really, has been having a real great season, and I think he's gonna be a valuable player in the playoffs too. I think he's gonna, I think his next, after this Cleveland start, I think his next round of starts, maybe with teams that he is faced, as he'll be facing for the second time. So I think that'll be another big benchmark for him. It'd be a nice benchmark for him if he can do well on those starts as well. They might be on the road too. Astros is yord on Alvarez, scratching the lineup tonight against the Red Sox after slamming his hand in a door at home and injuring his left index finger. So the injury wasn't serious, but his finger was sore. Quote, he hurt his finger at the house, was careless with the door. What do you think really happened? There's a German rookie refractor for the Cardinal that's gonna go to Rob. Sounds like one of those stories where like, I guess I'm reminded as a Dodger fan on the West Coast, I remember reminded of the Jeff Kent story, remember that? There's Vinny Pascatino in a Vanity Volpe refractor. The Pascatino autograph goes to Kevin and the Royals. Nice. And the Volpe refractor will go to Jose and the Yankees. I think Jeff Kent had broken his wrist or something. Was he with the Giants or Dodgers at the time? I forget, but he had broken his wrist or something like that? But he said he was, I think he said he was like washing his truck. He was like on a ladder or something. He was watching the rooftop of his truck. Here's a nice Corbin Carroll refractor for the Diamondbacks, John Maddock. Was he with the Giants, Eric's saying? I think he slipped, the story was he slipped, he fell off this ladder, fell off the top of the truck and banged up his wrist, but I think in reality he was off-roading or motorcycling or something like that, something specifically a no-no in his contract. Here's Teosca Hernandez, gold wave. Nice, 30 out of 50, that's a nice shot. Nice bit of photography there. Tani with the Mariners. And we've got an Astro autograph. It's David Hensley. Got some good penmanship there. Rookie Otto for the Stroves, that'll be for Darren. Bears are linked to the Chiefs in a trade for a defensive tackle, Chris Jones. Yeah, I thought that the Chiefs would lock up Chris Jones, but it's not. Did who invent the flux capacitor? That would be Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor. An Acunha Junior refractor, nice, for the Braves. Royal with Atlanta. This is your favorite for the NL MVP. Oh, Jeff Kent, he did not hit his head. I think he fell and hurt his wrist. So, thus, no flux capacitor. 244 out of 499. Freddie for me, for the Royals. Kevin with Freddie. Nice autograph here. It's probably helped preserve Salvador Perez's career by taking over most of the catching duties. You've got Jake McCarthy, photo negative, and a Gunnar Henderson prism. That's for the Orioles, that's for Tristan. Is that how Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor was in a dream after hitting his head in a concussed haze? And whether he got another catcher in the works, too, Eric? AJ Melendez, or MJ Melendez, right? Catching position, lock down. Ronald, I suppose Jack Benny is Secretary of State. I think that's a good line. I was just thinking, another good line is when they do the test, and then he Doc Brown touches the handle of the car of the DeLorean, and he's like, ah! And Marty's like, what, hot? Like, no, cold! I thought that was a good joke. The little turn. Ooh! Cleveland catcher got a... Ooh, that could have been, thankfully, hit the ground first. Pitcher hit the ground, skipped up, and hit the Cleveland catcher right on the edge of the mask and knocked his mask off. That was straight on, that could have been dangerous. All right, next jumbo box. Volpe, Carroll, Acunian. This is generally the pattern that we see. I don't know if these inserts are part of the buyback. Royal, I think it might just be the base and parallels, but. The base Carroll, base Volpe. Ooh, that's the wrong pace lead. And we got a Will Benson. Speaking of the Guardians, Ryan Boone, Booney. Cleveland, this is for you! Will Benson, does he play? No, in the lineup today. Brennan's in the lineup, though. My daughter's up three-two on the Guardians. There's Melendez, we were just talking about him. Yeah, playing mostly outfield, but I guess at some point Salvador Perez isn't going to play forever. There's a Yoshida base. I feel like he's got, I guess the race, it used to be Josh Young, but I think the AL rookie of the year race is now down to Yoshida, and probably Gunnar Henderson at this point. And there we've got Edwin Diaz. Green Wave to 99 for the Mets, Sean. Yeah, there's Michael Bush, who got called up. I think here's a Ryan Nelson to the 499. That's going to be for the snakes. That'll be for Sean. JD Martinez with a groin injury ended up on the IL. And so they called up Michael Bush, who was up for a little bit earlier this year, did not do well in the majors, kind of his first taste of the majors, sent him back down to AAA, and has done nothing but rake in AAA. And now that injury's kind of opened the door. Let's see what he can do with it. JD Martinez. There's a Riley Green Prism. Nice. Tigers, that'll be for William. Spencer Stier for the Reds. Barry Roberts might get some Rookie of the Year consideration. Here's MJ Melendez again. Behind Goldie is an Ezekiel Tovar. Another one. Rookie Otto for the Rocks. Jeremy for the Rockies. Yeah, he has. If he played, if JD Martinez had played more games, it's been on the IL I think maybe once or twice, it just doesn't play every day. But I feel like if he did play more, there'd probably be a little more consideration for him. All-Star too, right? More consideration for him being comeback player of the year. He might still win it. 250, Drew Waters for the Royals. His teammate Bobby Wood Jr. Goldschmidt and the Boxer. Yeah, I really like that Jason Hayward signing too. He's actually a good locker room guy. And the Dodgers usually do it pretty good. They've got a lot of confidence in their coaching staff, the Dodgers. So they're always, you know, they're always finding lost causes or reclamation projects every year. I think the only one, you know, they don't all work out, no, it's in regard. But for the most part, I feel like they do a great job. A lot of times they get those guys paid too after a season. I think Tyler Anderson, Andrew Eaney from last year, got multi-year contract after being with the Dodgers. All right, maybe a little score update for you. No finals. No final scores today. But the game closest to finishing. Top of the eighth. Rocky's leading the Rays four to three. Top of the seventh. Tigers leading the Cubs seven to six. Middle of the seventh. Giants leading the Phillies three to two. It's tied in Baltimore. Blue Jays Orioles are tied at three. They both have eight hits a piece as well. Nationals and Yankees are tied at one. Yankees are on an eight game, eight or nine game losing streak. Not the way they planned it. Pirates leading the Cardinals six to two. Dodgers leading the Guardians three to two. Fifth inning. Braves leading the Mets two nothing. Astros leading the Red Sox early. And the second two nothing. Bottom of the third. Tied in Milwaukee two-two. Twins at Brewers. Mariners at White Sox two-one. Middle of the second. Here's your score update. Jasper'scasebreaks.com. Sponsored by 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball. Do they have a tagline for this? Yeah, home of the Chrome rookie autograph. That's your ad read. We've got Simeon Woods Richardson. Rookie autograph for the twins. That'll be for Ryan G. We have not seen our one-per-case, looking at the Ken Wallachuk refractor. We have not seen our one-per-case Oakland A autograph. Not yet anyway. We've got a Freddie Freeman. Magenta three ninety-nine. Got an outside chance. At MVP maybe? Ryan with my Dodgers, Ryan Gansry. Tyrone says I did that once, but it was actually a walled up, bro. Did what once? Oh, Tyrone might be lagging behind. I'll buy a lot. Yeah, Trevor Bauer has definitely been the big bust for the Dodgers. Here's an Anthony Volpe autograph. Nice. Two thirty-two. He's got some nice penmanship there. Two thirty-two out of two fifty. Purple Chrome autograph for the Yankees. Jose with the Bronx Bombers. Nice. Nice, nice, nice. That's all good, Tyrone. I just wanted to make sure that you were more lagging behind. I mean, feel free to rewind again, but just make sure you come back. Yankees call them at two price. Who are they calling up? I think I heard something about a call-up, but I forget who they were. I guess that's the stage of the season the Yankees are at now. Let's see what we got. Give some of the kids a taste of the majors. It's always good to do that. Get them ready for the next season. Here's your third autograph. There it is. The one-per-case Oakland A-Autograph, Cal Stevenson. That's going to go to Stephen Carney and the A's. A's are actually a pretty good value just because their autograph checklist, they've got a lot, not a lot on that checklist. Here's a Juan Soto purple speckled $2.99 for the Fryers. It's going to be for Michael S. And wow, look at this. Ultra Violet All-Stars Adley Rushman. Tristan with the Orioles. It's been a nice jumbo case thus far. We're still got four boxes to go. Halfway through this break, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks, everyone, for getting in. Most appreciated. What other games do we... We've got a full slate of baseball on this schedule here, too. Actually, this is great. I can watch... This is his Dodger game, though, but I can watch the Angels game. Cincinnati Reds are in Anaheim. They're playing the Angels. Graham Ashcraft on the mound for the Reds and... and Lucas Geolito for the Angels, which has not quite worked out. But Trout is back. And I think he's in the lineup today. And I think he is. I think he's batting second. Logan Ohapi, I think, is back or has been back. Yeah, I think he... I think he just came back a couple days ago. We're getting to a little bit of full... Closer to a full-strength squad. The Royals are in Oakland. Rangers are in Arizona. And the Marlins are in San Diego. And Rangers Diamondbacks' game looks pretty good. John Gray and Zach Gallin on the mound. Jefferson Pereira and Oswald Piraza. So the Angels are getting taller. Hopefully they have some good debuts. Yeah, Royals A's. Although I think the Royals have been playing a lot better in the last month or so. But yeah, who doesn't want the... Or maybe you should tank. Maybe they should tank against each other so they can try to get the number one overall pick. I don't know what the draft class looks like next year. The interesting class is Caleb Killian. That's going to go to the Cubs, Stephen Carney and the Cubbies. Yeah, that's pretty bad, Eric. The Royals have 40 wins. A's have 35 wins. Well, I feel like the Royals are still a little more promising than the A's. I don't know if we're going to really see any potential for A's success until maybe they move into their new stadium. We've got a Francisco Alvarez. Pink speckle nice to 350 for the Mets. Chaumatic and the Metropolitan's. This is one of the future faces for the Mets. Obviously, I guess for both New York teams, the season's not going the way they drew it up at the start of the year. I certainly didn't think. This is why I don't... I'm not good at futures. Investing in futures. And the next autograph, Gabriel Moreno. Blue Jays edition. 59 out of 150 ads. Autographs are Blue Jays edition. It's going to go to Tony in Toronto. That's why I don't invest in futures, ladies and gentlemen. Can't see the future. Hard to predict the future. Rex says he saw A's option, Tyler Soderstern. He isn't turning out like people thought. What did people think? I don't remember thinking much of... That's Oswaldo Cabrera. Oswaldo Parazas. Here's the one that got called up. You know, Josh Young... I thought it might be the autograph spot. And a Josh Young refractor. Nice for the Rangers. Kihoon. Baso Tony. And we have a Brewer Hicklin. I think he's on the wrong team. Should be in Milwaukee. Kevin with the Royals, though. And we got Salvador Perez. Nice. Orange Wave 12 out of 25. Oh, was he a pitcher? Tyler Soderstern? He wasn't really on my radar, to be honest with you. All right, three boxes to go. Good luck. Looks like Bobby Miller done for the day. And Bobby Miller's line today. Six and a third. Scattering six hits. Giving up only two earned runs. Five strikeouts. One walk. I like that strikeout-to-walk ratio. Oh, he was a catcher first base. Who am I thinking of then? A different Tyler maybe? I'll take that from Bobby Miller. 97 pitches through six and a third. 75 for strikes. I'll take that from the youngster. Not a bad day for Noah Cindergaard, too. Six innings. Four hits. Three earned runs. Four strikeouts and a walk. But the game is tie 3-3. Got some color here behind Miguel Cabrera. It's Joey Weimer. Nice. 72 out of 150. Blue Raywave autograph for Tyrone and the Brew Crew. He's one of their... He's playing regularly. One of their top up-and-coming players. I know. I think some people called it like a Greg Maddox game. If you threw a complete game, complete game shutout under 100 pitches. Yeah, Greg Maddox would be able to do it on 78 pitches, right? Which would count for me four or five innings now it is. Talk about efficiency. There's some of it. If you look at his Wikipedia page, and I've said this before and I'll say it again, and I wish they would do some sort of like, you know, documentary on it or even like a short 30-minute piece on it or something like that. He was such a control artist with pitches. Oh, no. Come on, Caleb Ferguson. Those are Bobby Miller's runs, too. So much for that line. For now, to T.C. Junior 299. Such a control artist that he would be able to and he would see how the batter was standing. He'd be able to say where his pitch was going to go, how the batter was going to hit it, and where it was going to end up. He could call his shots like that. And here's Michael Toglia. Rockies. Jeremy. So I was like, man, I would love to hear more stories about that. You know, there's a few exam, two or three examples on Greg Maddox's Wikipedia page, but I'm like, let's hear more of these crazy stories. This is, didn't Don Maddingling's Hall of Fame eligibility run out ages ago? Does he still have eligibility? I don't think so, Rex. He's been retired for a while, and I think all of his eligibility should be... There's Oswald Paraza just got called up. That's right, Eric. Mike Maddox. I think he was pitching coach for the Dodgers for a little bit as well. Padres for a little bit. Both are apparently good poker players and good golfers. And here's Ezekiel Tovar, another one. Colour this time. 126 out of 150. Two Rockies autos in this box. Nice break for Jeremy Locke and the Rocks. Oh, maybe Rex is talking about Veterans Committee. I didn't realize Veterans Committee had eligibility limits. And I guess they do. Or maybe Rex was looking at an article from back in 2010 or something like that. Logan Ohapi to 199. Aqua Lava. Well, regardless of what the criteria is, I think Don Manningling, probably, if he hasn't gotten in by now, I don't think he's going to get in. Which is a little unfortunate. I think his career was kind of shortened a little bit or maybe not as effective. He had a lot of back issues. I want to say. I think that kind of sapped some production and some potential that he could have had. Oh, not most of what? 2000? 2001? Gotcha. That's on brand, Rex. Reading it wrong. But hold on. But Rex, are there... Oh, 95? Different Yankees Mariners players? No, I think there's something else. Never mind. Anyway. Are there eligibility limits, though, Rex, for veterans' committee votes? Or can you be voted in... I think there's no eligibility requirement or no, like, window. I think veterans' committee can vote anyone in at any time after their normal eligibility runs out. Stephen Kwan. And behind Riley Greene is a Louis Varlin for the twins that's going to be for Ryan Gansby. Yeah, they got a... I mean, at this point, guys like Bonds and Clemens should probably be in. Gotcha. Yeah, I think veterans' committee is going to be tough for someone like Barry Bonds. Although he did get 12 of the 16 votes, but I feel like there's always going to be some player that played in his era on the veterans' committee who played it, quote, the right way. You know, and will always hold it against Barry Bonds. All right, there's an Akunya Jr. base. All those add up, Royal and the Braves. All right, behind Yordon Alvarez, who apparently slammed a door on his hand. Kodai Senga. Photo negative for the Mets. That'll be for Shawn Matic. I wonder what the real story is, Yordon. What really happened, you know? Maybe it was something embarrassing. Maybe it was like I was chasing after my cat. It was Shawn Bouchard, 19 out of 4. Another Rocky for Jeremy. I was chasing after my cat, and then I went to the bathroom. I saw a large spider. It was terrified. Quickly slammed the door on my hand. Am I speaking from experience? Maybe. Maybe I'm telling Yordon, hey, you don't have to be embarrassed. You know? Wow, another Rocky. Ezekiel Tovar. Jeremy Locum. When it's a team's day, it's a team's day. Another two of the three autographs in the box. A rock. Kettle Marte to $3.99. Magenta for Shawn. And our second ultraviolet, what a case, our second ultraviolet insert, short print. Bryce Harper, Phillies. Last Fod Mojo. I was talking up the fills before Rob got all four of those teams. I was like, hey, Phillies got ultraviolet all-stars. Bryce Harper's in there. Only Rob listened to me. A lot of opportunities for everybody to get those Phillies before Rob. There you go, Rob. Last Fod Mojo. I guess two cases, they're not really cases. They're technically short prints that happen to odds-wise fall one per case. They're not like a case in the sense that like impeccable football. There's like a gold piece in there. There you go, Rob. There he is, Rob. Congrats. I don't know, you know what, Rex? Rex was like, only one that got in veteran to me last year was a crime dog, but he got in not mattingly. Maybe it is those back issues. I honestly haven't really compared the numbers. I'm gonna really compare the numbers to be honest with you. I mean, Fred McGriff does have about another 1,700 of bats on on mattingly. I mean, yeah, he's got the counting stat. He almost has 500 home runs. That helps. Yeah, I think that's what's always gonna hurt Mattingly, is that he has the counting stats will always be held against him. He has 222 home runs in his career. Right? McGriff has 493, so it doesn't seem that odd, in my perspective. You know, so I think that's always gonna be held against Mattingly, one of the biggest names in baseball not to be in the home thing. I guess in terms of just pure name recognition and popularity, yeah, besides Bonds and McGuire and Shilling and those guys. I mean, probably he's a popular player, but I think if you look at the numbers, you know, it's not, I don't think it's that big of a snub. And I think that Bobby Whit is numbered, yeah. Future star, 72 out of 99. Royals, Kevin. And like, there are players like Kofax who didn't play very long, but in a short period of time, Kofax had just an incredible run of dominance where that will get you into the Hall of Fame if you lack some of the other counting stats. And unfortunately Mattingly didn't have that kind of short burst of, I mean, he kind of did, but I guess really just really not big enough to, you know what I mean? He won an MVP, he was top five the year before, won the MVP second the year after, seventh the year after that. Let's say if Mattingly rattled off like, you know, if he rattled off like four or five, you know, MVPs in a row, you know, maybe that would have been, you know, had some records along the way in terms of counting stat records. There might be a better case for Mattingly, but unfortunately, Spencer Seer to 499. Jay-Claude, oh yeah, Pete Rose is probably the biggest one, Rex. Eric's right. Just caught up, sorry, I'm going to be crazy. The Rockies' coalition has been so crazy in Jumbo. Well, that's if you believe that the coalition is supposed to be an even number of autos for every single team in every single case. But that's not how they collated. It's just completely, it's completely random. Nah, don't feel bad, Jeremy. Oh, you're Jeremy? Yeah, don't feel bad. Never feel bad. Because if you do this group, these group breaks long enough, there'll be many times where your team is not going to hit, so don't feel bad, ever. There's Tim Anderson to 199. Enjoy the moment. All right, see ya, Evan. Thanks, man. I'll see you tomorrow. Josh and Seel, Cubs. So, Red Spencer Seer Berry with the red legs. Justin Seel also having a nice season. See even Carney with the Cubs. Didn't he, I don't remember that. Fred McGriff was a Yankee farming. All right, looking for our third and final auto of the break. Maybe some low numbered stuff. How are we going to finish this break? Maybe a train whistle? Out of 5 and under? This should be the auto behind Cabrera. It is a Michael Papiereski. 81 out of 199. Aqua Wave Autograph for Detroit. William with the Tigers. Tiger uppercut. All right, here's Alec Bohm to 250. Yeah, P-Row should definitely be in. I mean, yeah, I mean, looking now, I guess P-Row should be in because of his accomplishments as a player. You know what I mean? Sheila's Joe, I mean, who knows what the real if we're ever going to know what the real story is going to be there, how involved he was or wasn't. You know, the number suggests he wasn't. But, you know, like, that's still on the field. But P-Row's, as far as I know, I mean, probably was gambling as a player. That hasn't been shown out. But now, every year that MLB, Eric's right, every year that Major League Baseball, you know, takes advertising money from FanDuel and DraftKings and other sports books. It gets, you know, it gets a little harder and harder to say why P-Row shouldn't be in. But I mean, the hit king, not in the Hall of Fame, crazy. Free cap, ladies and gentlemen, pretty nice break. More in the store. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
