 Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, back here in Los Angeles, back here in Hermosa Beach, California. And back here with some 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball Jumbo Edition, eight bucks, pick your team number 11 from jaspyscasebrakes.com, all card ship. And a big thanks to this group for making it happen, straight up no filler. Appreciate that here on the last day of July, ending the month strong, I hope. Here's Mark with LastBot and Mojo with the San Francisco Giants, and good luck. Sprake will take a little, not as long as that dual case we did earlier, but it's about, how long does it take Jason to get an hour or so? Here's my knife, hang on, found my knife, yeah back from Chicago, back from the national, good to be back home, although it's hot here too, I guess it's hot in the entire country, right? At that time of year, hot time, but yeah, it's definitely toasty in Chicago, even for us on the seaside. So Arthur, it is hot over here, relatively speaking, it's all relative Arthur, temperature is relative, although it is hot for you out there too, your family in Vegas also feeling the same effects, but for Hermosa Beach, definitely hot, oh no, the Blue Jays are wearing their red uniforms, it trips me out when the word blue is in red, and this is in my head a little bit, but for us, you know, Hermosa Beach is definitely hot here, hot in Chicago when we're in Chicago, hot for that time of year too, right, first jumbo box, now we did a dual hobby case a little while ago, jumbo, that's one auto a box, jumbo, three autos a box, right, good luck, all card ship, I think I've got the focus set like right here, so I think we should be good here, there's Dalton Varshow speaking of the red blue Jays today, 10 out of 75, Jan, yes, I am a fan of the sapphire cards, I think they're pretty sharp, I have that F1 driver, Landon Norris in a sapphire design, 150 cent out of 250, Buddy Kennedy for the dime back, Sean Matik with this buddy, this buddy of ours, we'll do an autograph recap at the end of the break as well, now the dual case break, we've got some time to sit around and talk about the national, check out the blog, the jaspy's blog, jaspy's HQ, you can see it on the website, jaspy's case breaks.com, I still have to do one more recap, maybe I'll do that tonight, do one more recap tonight, I want to get a little taste of our experience at the national, a little rapid fired notes and using notes in there, it's good to be back home, and it's good to be pulling some, some Carrie Carpenter, 8 out of 50, Rookie Otto for the Tigers, that's going to be for Ronald, pick up the Tigers straight up, should be one more autograph here, got a costaurs, photo negative parallel, how many kids did I curse at this time, this time I matched curse at zero kids, Arthur, we didn't have a booth there this year, so the chance of me cursing at a kid had fallen dramatically, but did have a lot of, did run into a lot of kids who were like hey jaspy's, like yeah, so that was nice, and there's a Riley Green, Rookie Otto, nice, Ronald and the Tigers, he's supposed to be pretty good, all right box one in the books, next box, sure, as long as they're all, they're all YouTube stickers, right, the two are me, I would pop, do me a favor and put, yeah, put two stickers on a couple jumbos and you can take whatever jumbos like, yeah the sapphire is a good look, Jan, I think that's one of those special, I think they're online exclusives, right, so whatever it is, that was a good one by them, and I think a lot of those sapphire cars still sell pretty well in the secondary market, especially nowadays, especially if they're, if they're graded up, even the standard base, especially during like the first, within the first few months of the new release date, also still selling strong, now speaking of buyers and sellers ladies and gentlemen, what's going on with, with baseball here, okay, we got plenty then, yeah, okay, sell them out ladies and gentlemen, we've got some more, got some more jumbos, we got a, Mets and Astros are continuing to discuss Justin Verlander, the Dodgers were in the mix for that little bit, Reds acquire Sam Maul from the A's, Brewers acquired Marcana from the Mets, Giants got AJ Pollock, we got Aaron Saval went to the Rays, yeah Rangers are doing a lot of work Jan, they got Jordan Montgomery, and they got Max Scherzer, Blue Jays got Jordan Hicks, Cubs took Cody Ballinger off the market, Dodger, my Dodgers got Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly, among others to reinforce their team, Dodgers still need, I feel like, a little pitching, maybe a right-handed bat would be nice too, but I don't think they're trying to run out of time, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a big deal, but they are kind of running out of time, you know, Michael Rove, Rove did not have a good start last time out, so they could use another starting pitcher, I don't think Schroman is really going anywhere, he's got an opt-out that I think's gonna scare some people away, there's Jared Walsh to 350, that will be for the Halos, that'll be for Mike G, Nolan Aronato was involved in some trade rumors, but the GM said, no, we're not doing it, here's our first auto of the second box, Drew Waters to 499, refractor auto for Brandon in Kansas City, our friend Chad was a little confused about about the Diamondbacks deal, Diamondbacks adding pieces too, so the Mariners are sending Paul Seawall to the Snakes for infielder Josh Rojas and rookie outfielder Dominic Canzon and infiel prospect Ryan Bliss, which Chad was saying, why did we trade our, what, closer, right, for two nobodies, he was saying, maybe they saw something in him, I think they added bats, they wanted bats I think, here, oh so Drew Waters was, I'm just trying to keep track of the three autos, Drew Waters was our first auto of the second box and Tyler Freeman, 132 out of 250 is our next auto, Cleveland, this is for you, that goes to Ryan and the Guardians, see May, what's going on, yeah, I was surprised, they moved, Rangers moving Luis Anahelecunha, supposed to be really good and so they, there's, it is a young team, but I suppose they thought they can afford to let Luis Anahelecunha go, I feel like they've got a pretty decent farm system, James Almond Blue to 125, Blue, whatever they call this one, not Speckle, something else, Panini calls it Pulsar, right, but I like the aggressiveness this note though, you know, and I think what's, and then Schoes are some sort of option that he can play around with, they're all in, why not, why not strike, well the iron is hot, and there's another Drew Waters, so the first one was a refractor autograph, second one just a base autograph Brandon, but you are starting your Drew Waters PC from Tops Chrome, what is international cap space, I think you're allotted some sort of money for international players, but there's like a cap for it, I think that's because, you know, I guess suppose Richard teams cannot just outspend other teams in a, you know, low risk, high reward international player market, so to avoid that they've created a sort of cap space, but I think that number can, you think you could, I think you can trade that money, you can also lose that money as punishment for infractions, especially international, I don't know exactly what that number is, but I think that money can be created during the draft, it can be used for all sorts of things, yeah, maybe, I mean, the classic saying, pitching wins playoff games, right, you need that starting pitching, which the Rangers are pitching looks great, now, now they just need to work on, now they just need to work on that bullpen, I mean, they can, we still have until tomorrow, I think the deadline is actually Tuesday, 6 p.m. Eastern, I think I said, I think I said midnight Eastern, no, it's 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. LA time, I thought it was later than that, but it's not, can this camera show a little more of the boxes here, there we go, the boxes in question, and we've got some green wave here, Trevor Story to 99, Boston that'll be for Blair and Boston, and we've got an A's autograph, 16 out of 150, Jonah Bride, here comes the bride that's going to go to Eric M and the Oakland A's, got a blue ray wave autograph, some nice color, all right, and teams can also increase their international pool money by trading players away and increasing that pool, now just a little, another little wrinkle in a baseball strategy there, so I think what it was, Jonah I think was the first autograph, and here's Tommy Henry, rookie auto for Sean Maddock, what GM job do you think is the hardest among the major sports? Let's just say football, baseball, basketball, I guess they all have their own challenges, but I guess NFL is pretty hard, you've got to try to find a bunch of players and backups, and that's such a team that requires football, so much more team chemistry, you've got to work in concert together, that's going to be one of the hardest, baseball not only have a major league roster, but you're looking at minor league rosters too, there's the sheer number of players in your organization has got to be pretty, it's got to be pretty difficult, yeah, baseball variance is just difficult, that number, no, it's not, any league with a salary cap to operate in that salary cap, yeah, the financial gymnastics that there's Carlos Perez, our third auto of the box, that'll be for the White Sox, it's going to go to Patrick, yeah, trying to do all the financial gymnastics there has got to be difficult, soccer has its own unique challenges too, but I don't know, when you have like oil-rich companies like Manchester City who just seems to just write checks, wow, is it RIP Bill Russell, also Pee Wee Herman RIP, you know, Bill Russell was, he's already RIP, I think that was the anniversary of his death is to Bill Russell, he passed away in 2022, but Pee Wee Herman has died on the same day, yeah cancer I think, for him, yes, Jen, I did see the new grading company that Arena Club, I, in fact, a former Jaspy employee is on there, soccer have to worry about the Board of Governors, it's not, not really, unless you are on a team that has has nosy boards of governors, a lot of teams are still just, a lot of teams don't operate with the Board of Governors, different challenges, but I'm not sure if it's, did Andrew Johnson, our president died July 31st 1875, just seemed like yesterday, Andrew, Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson, my thing of Andrew Jackson, was Andrew Johnson also a president? He was, vice president I guess, well president for a little bit after, after Lincoln, those are the last people I'll ask, playing football manager, Jan, those guys think they can run football teams, but that's not real life, it was Dan to be swanson, to 199, yeah I know who, thank you Captain Obvious, sometimes Jan gets like that, yeah but it, to them it is, I agree, but it's really not, next thing you know, Jan's gonna tell us that George Washington was maybe the first president, that's just the base Corby Carroll, those all shit, and here is Conor Capell to 150, A's autograph for Eric M, yeah Tony Bennett passed away not too long ago as well, a week or so ago, don't they say it happens in threes, was there another sort of, well I guess Pee Wee Herm is not exactly Tony Bennett stature, but was there like a third celebrity, maybe in that range, and we got 113 to 299, Elia Hernandez, and that's for the Rangers, Tristan with the Rangers, alright next bit here, and we got a Michael Togli at a 250, but yeah that arena company, they're actually here in LA, the one with Derek Jeter's bat, I don't know how deeply he is involved in it, but we have a former Jaspy coworker that works there, bass player, yeah that's true, one of the Eagles, bass player for the Eagles also passed away, so I guess those could be your three, and there's Jermaine Palacios for Ronald and Detroit, I mean is he involved in like day-to-day operations? I don't think so, the head guy, it's actually a guy named Brian who does the day-to-day operations, and I think they have the support of Derek Jeter and name and finances and whatnot, but I don't think Jeter is making day-to-day, he's not hiring or firing people, I don't think he's making day-to-day, he's not in the office chopping it up with that team there, he was at the national though, let's see how that, I mean I was surprised at the national in Chicago, I was surprised at how many new grading services there were out there, well I'll ask you and I'll get to the bottom and I'll be like hey Derek Jeter in the office every day, I don't think Jeter's putting in 40 hours a week though, but yeah a lot of grading services popping up, everyone's using different kind of technology, everyone wants to, I don't know who's gonna end up on top, there's a lot of great looking ideas out there, a lot of people trying to get into that grading space, you know who becomes a successful third-party you know grading service, I guess PSA and Beckett are still the big dogs in that space right, there's Jared and Karnasioen to 150, that's been, we kind of do, so we do something like that, we've got a little working with PWCC, so people can definitely use that, we need to check out that link right there, I think we get a small referral but I don't know if anything significant, but there's Steel Walker, another tiger for Ronald, that's right, Shanaid O'Connor did pass, that was sad, but yeah, check out that PWCC link on the website and there's ways to submit the hits that you get from us, I think some people on the personal break side of things have certainly taken advantage of that service, but they hosted us in their live streaming booth over a national weekend, we got to use their technology live stream from there and hopefully get some people to check out PWCC with that, but yeah, PSA and Goat St. PSA needs some of that tag grading concept, they're also based in Los Angeles, I was talking to some of the guys on the tag team as well, tag team, back again, here's Michael Massey, rookie autograph for the Royals, they've got really cool little see-through slabs, which would be great for displaying, it's branded with the Royals, there's Ryan McMahon to 99, that'll be for Tim and the Rocks, oh you're saying on-site, I get what you're saying, that could be a wave of the future, we could put a machine here, and I just put it in the machine I guess, would I have to operate it, oh we don't need a whole list of people who passed, a lot of people passed away, going on forever, but thank you, there's a Nate Eaton 82 out of 199, Aqua wave autograph, Royals branded, yeah we've been working on getting PSA or PWCC on-site, we have had PSA on-site before though, we had a nice little event with them, convenient they're just down the street from us, all right three more jumbo boxes to go, we'll do an autograph recap after this, yeah that could be a really cool entry, you know, addition to a hobby shop, if there's on-site grading, somehow the machine would slab it too, that'd be awesome, but yeah there's just a lot of those services now, we just gotta see which one is gonna is going to, you know, which one who's gonna really stick, it just it feels like a, it feels like a very start-up-y kind of market, you know, not everybody able to do it, do what, operate the machine, I think the arena folks were saying that 90% of their, of their grading is, you know, based off of, based off of AI, oh all grading on-site, yeah I see, yeah they may require more technology or more less mobile space, yeah I think PSA was just taking some missions, but I think arena or was it tag, I think one of those guys are saying that, that, you know, do you have most of its AI and then the final finishing process is done by a human eye, that's Josh Schmidt, I thought that, I just looked at Josh and assumed it was Josh young, Tristan, we'll find a Josh young, wow now that's an idea, grizzled bees, take the place of red boxes outside, outside of convenience stores, Walderines, grocery stores and then just replace them with card grading machines, pop your, pop a card in and then all of a sudden comes back out great and slab, yeah HGH, everyone's using it, everyone's using AI now, I think PSA to a certain extent has dumped a lot of money into more, you know, with computer assisted grading which I suppose, which I suppose is now just to call it AI, that's the fancy word to call that these days, 70 out of 499 Carlos Perez, here's a refractor Anthony Volpe for the Yankees, that's from Matt Smith, you know I always wish that, that Beckett or PSA would run like a, I guess like, like you're getting a, like you're getting a notary, like you're becoming a notary have like a one-day seminar and training session just so as a, you know, that I can kind of eyeball a card and be like, all right, here's what I think this could be, you know, and then maybe run that machine that Seamaze talking about, here's Corbin Carroll refractor, John Maddock with the Dimebecks, sort of like a grading consultant, yeah, you know, maybe someone discovers they have, they have a talent for it, maybe they become a grader at a certain's place, here's a Riley Green rookie autograph, nice one for Ronald and Detroit, I think that's our second one, we got one earlier, yeah, like a certificate or something like that, something like that would be cool, so if like someone comes in the shop and be like, hey, here's my Logan Ohapi rookie card, what do you think? There's a Kyle Stowers to 199, so you know, save them a little trouble before they take the time sending it in, you know, someone has aptitude for it, maybe they could be recruited, become a someone who grades at one of the big spots, there's Josh Young, could be interesting, yeah, but a lot of grading come in at the National, remember I was talking earlier tonight about the, nicely over Paguerro, by the way, the color match for their uniforms, 24 out of 50, gold wave autograph, pirates, Mark, you know Mark, but yeah, a lot of grading companies that 200,000 extra square feet that the National added this year, you know, was actually, I thought there'd be more tables there from vendors around the country, but was actually more, more like corporate sponsorships, so like PWCC, they had a big presence there, a bunch of different grading companies had, had larger kind of corporate booths out there, most interesting I thought, little hydration, yeah, well the, the, the computer generating, the computer AI, whatever you want to call it, grading that are going to be able to capture more problems, right, because it's almost, they're super specific, so there may be situations where it'd be impossible to get a tent, maybe that's a good thing, but a lot of companies are doing like, you know, once they grade the card, they'll scan it, and then, you know, they scan it, and then they'll be able to tell you every imperfection on the surface, the corner, the edge, why it was graded that way, now, will, will they be taking into consideration, will they be taking into consideration on a market changes, or, or, or the grades of other cards as well, true, yeah, security issues with, with computers, you know, there could be data breaches, so how are they protecting all that information? There's Robbie Ray to 299, and McCutcheon looked a little different, right, is this a short print? Not a short print? It was a, it was a refractor, and then it looked like he most, most, most of the guys are doing some baseball activity, he's doing a celebration activity. Is there a short print section on cardboardconnection.com? Maybe an image variation? We'll sleeve it up anyway for the Pirates. Grizzleby's saying not a short print, but Jan's saying yes, it is a short print? Or are you agreeing with Grizzleby's? It's Cal Stevenson, Eric M with the AIDS. Hey, hey, see me, I like, I like your brainstorming, I think there's, I think that's why there are a lot of grading companies. That space is, is interesting. There could be a lot of, I guess, what are they, what do they call in the business world? There could be a lot of disruption in that industry that could happen. You know, PSA and, and Beckett have been doing their, is doing, have been doing their grading thing for a very long time. They still remain as sort of industry standards. Here's Connor Cappell, another A for Eric. Oh, there is a variation. Okay, thank you. So that is a space that can be, that can be disrupted a little bit. There's Nelson Velazquez, Aqua Lava for the Cubs, for Steven. Cubs are buyers, it seems like. Not trading away anybody, keeping their guys and it's gonna, they're gonna make a run. Who wins the World Series this year? I will answer that question after the trading deadline tomorrow. You got to wait for that dust to settle, I feel like. Wow, A's trifecta, personal box for the A's 105 out of 150. Freddie Tarnock. All three autographs for Eric M. There you go, Eric. If you have a few trifecta, if you had those three, or maybe if you, if you did a box trifecta, you're a winner. That's final three autographs. Let's see what we got here. Fighting a little weird. It's a little dark, but it looked a little too on. We got a new camera, we're still dialing it in. Well, let me tell you about it. So the angels looked like they were buyers, right? They added somebody. They added, they added players. They made a deal today. I think they had a little hole at third base that they filled today with the former national third basemen. Candelario, Candelario. Blanking on his name. I think they added to the picture staff. They had a picture. They had a gilito. We've got a great start there. NCJ Chrome, right? They got some bats. No, well, I haven't busted open that many of it. Has Jason pulled one? He did a bulk of this while I was away at the national. So I haven't seen too many of these. I don't think we've pulled a super yet. I did pull a printing plate out of top chrome baseball over the national weekend on Saturday, I want to say. Did we get an out of five? I think I might have seen an out of five as well. It's a little dark, a little bit better. Right, final box. We got another one in the store. Get in on it while while teams last. We'll go through some mortars after we do a quick little filler pack. Good to see the angels though saying they're all in. I think they've they've kind of crazy the thing that whether you're buying or selling kind of comes down to the last week before the trade deadline. There's Jeter Downs to 399 for Markens the Nationals. But I think both the Cubs and the Angels have had a pretty good week. So I think they've they think they're thinking all right, let's go all in. Let's see what happens. All right, great trick went there too. Yeah, so they've they've pieced some so they just have definitely pieced some players together. No, no, well, what else? What else looks like Jace Peterson went to the diamond backs. There's Simeon Woods Richardson for the twin that's going to be for Ben. That twins out yet join just in time in the final box too. There's a chance we could wake up to a lot of so a lot of deals tomorrow. It's a possibility Phillies Blue Jays Giants have shown interest in Teosca Hernandez. Red Sox are going to keep Alex for do go apparently. Verlander. Yeah, Grizzlebees was asking does Verlander what does everyone does Verlander get traded tomorrow? Not sure if he's terribly happy with with the changes that are happening. So, maybe he wants to go somewhere else. I think there's an opt out or maybe an opt in. I think that that is I think making players a little or teams a little nervous. Here's an Adley Rushman refractor rookie refractor going to Tristan and the Orioles. That's right. Taylor Ward I think got a got hit by a pitch right in the face could have been real scary when you're taking what I think an Alec Manoa pitch into the face. All right, there is Masataka Yoshida. 70 out of 299 for the Red Sox Blair and the Red Sox. You're a Pittsburgher so you hope Mitch Keller goes to my I like Mitch Keller. I got him on my fancy team too. Um he's been struggling a little bit but he's still striking guys out. Ooh, nice DJ the Mayhew game use memorabilia. So, I think the stuff is still there but I don't know just not just giving up runs and bunches like it looks like he's doing well and then all of a sudden there's a blow up inning or something like that. 17 out of 50 on that one. Nice one for the Yankees. Matt Smith. Got that hologram sticker there as well. I don't know. Maybe maybe Mitch Keller could be pretty effective for the Dodger. I wouldn't mind that. I think he's under team control for a few more years, which might mean a better haul for the Pirates if they move Mitch Keller. What's your right handed bat situation in Pittsburgh? I think the Dodgers could use that as well. Brett Batey. Nice. 440 out of 499. Refractor, autograph for Alexander and the Mets. I see I sort of a Griffin canning kind of feel. Yeah, I also have him on my fancy team. Strikeout numbers are good. I got to work on those ERA number. I got to I'm hoping that that that'll just handle itself and eventually they're just you know there's things that run in cycles and it's not like they're gonna have a 6 ERA in the last what have a month forever, but the Dodgers need that pitching the I think in the last month their entire pitching staff has had like a 6 ERA or five and a half something. That's not good. That's that's not winning titles. You know, they they gotta I don't know if you can really count on as good as like Bobby Miller and Emmett Sheehan have been. Can you rely on rookies in the playoffs? I don't know. You know, so so we'll have to see. Alright gang, that was pick your team number 11. Topped, Chrome, Baseball, Jumbo Edition. Full case break. That was the recap. I'm Joe for Jasper's Case Race.com and I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye.
