 Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspie's Case Breaks.com. Happy Choo-Choo's Day. We're coming at you with some 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball Jumbo Edition. Eight box. Pick your team number 13. All-Card chip and big thanks to this group for making it happen. You have another Jumbo. I sure did. Where are they? Oh, they're right there, right? Right in the baseball section. Really? Yeah, there's two cases left. One I posted and one is unclaimed. Who knows who's gonna get that? David with LastBot Mojo with Dodgers. There's everybody else. Let's pop this case open. Was it an exciting trade window? Or trade deadline? What does everyone think? Dodgers were linked to a lot of players They're linked with Justin Verlander for a second. He ended up going back to Houston. They were linked with Michael Lorenzen, who went to the Phillies. Dodger were linked to Eduardo Rodriguez, who has some no-trade features in his contract. I guess he enjoys staying in the Detroit area. Said no. Jack Flaherty went to the Orioles. I think, was there some talk about maybe Bill and Cease? I don't think Bill and Cease went anywhere, right? Dodgers got a lefty arm Yarbrough from the former Ray, current Royal. He got Yarbrough, who is probably most likely gonna, I think he was used as an opener somewhat frequently in his raise days, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what the Dodgers plans are for him, but kind of a quiet trade window for the Dodgers, trade deadline for the Dodgers. I think Dodgers fans, especially myself, expect a little bit more than that. But we'll see how it works out for my boys in blue. Their offense has been playing really well. Starting pitching is a little bit of a concern, but maybe they're not as concerned as we thought. There's Michael Toglia. Rookie Otto for the Rockies. The camera, the switch cameras again, I think this camera is having a hard time focusing here. Let me try to adjust this really quick. Let's go manual focus. And I want that focus to be set at a certain distance. Right here is probably good, right? It looks a little too bright as well. Sorry, we have a new camera. A little bit better, I guess. We'll have to dial in down the brightness a little bit here. We'll see. We'll have to live with it for now. I think it's good enough for now. All right, so Rocks, that's going to be for Tim and the Rockies. Ryan Boone saying the Guarding got rid of Josh Bell. Thank God. I can't believe someone wanted him. Too bad they couldn't get rid of Miles Straw as well. There's Ezekiel Tovar, 25. Orange Wave for the Rockies, another Rock for Tim. We always got more of the Dodger and Podger than when they traded Chapman. Yeah, so who were the prospects that went to the Royals? Gilo, I think when I saw the news, I didn't see who ended up being moved. There's a base Corbin Carroll for Tyler. And our next autograph is Alec Burlson for $69 out of $4.99. Cardinals making a lot of changes, trading away a lot of pitching. That's going to be for Sam Rael, St. Louis. We've got a Alexis Diaz, $254 out of $3.99 for the Red Legs. That'll be for Michael S. And our third and final autograph of our first box is Nolan Jones. Oh, nice. Thank you. I was going to move that at some point today. There's Rockies. That's going to be another Rock for Tim. I'm going to keep it there. I'll find a room for it. Once all the offices are moved around, we'll find a good home. Got to take my board. All right, we'll do an autograph recap at the end of the break. Next box, Devin Mann and Derlin Figueroa. I've never heard of those guys. I'm not sure if they're on the, they might be in the top, I don't think they're in the top 30 prospects for the Dodgers. No, Devin Mann's actually number 29, an infielder. Derlin's not on this list, though. So I guess Devin Mann was probably the centerpiece of that small little deal. Many Scouts regard Mann as more of a good college player than a quality prospect while he was at Louisville, but the Dodgers like to unlock some more upside, draft him to the fifth round. He has increased his power defensively as a pro. A little bit on the older side, enjoying his besties. He has a 26 year old in triple A in 2023. He doesn't have a huge healing, but could fill a utility role at the big league level. That's not bad for Ryan Yarbrough. The, you know, you got to fill out the, uh, what a 25, 26 man Rosser. That always needs players like that. Next box. We got Will Benson, 77 out of 2.99. That's going to go to Ryan and his Guardians. Aaron Savalga moved somewhere, and the Guardian's kind of retooling, trading, retooling a little bit. Rex is saying to you, I'm not like, I'm not sure how I like having to go back and forth, although I'm seeing now both next out and, and what, YouTube on at the same time on your phone? There you go. I mean, if you want to watch Instagram, you'd have to do the same thing. It's not any different. Flipping between YouTube and Instagram. Not sure what the complaint is. Photo negative, Brian Reynolds, Pirates, Mark, and we got David Valar, rookie auto for the Giants. That's going to go to Tyler. And there's an Adley Rushman, rookie refractor. Nice. That's the sort of stuff we want to see. Aaron and the O's. Oriel's picking up Jack Flaherty. That was a nice move. Ah, that's true. I guess you don't really do personals as often. Well, I suppose you'll just have to learn, Rex. You don't have to be nimble. You don't have to, you don't have to figure that out. Maybe, uh, maybe two devices. You can have an iPad. You can have a phone for one stream and iPad for the other stream. Man, there's Shay Lang Lears. A's, rookie auto for Eric M. And it's strange how many players, uh, that's, you know what? That is true. I kind of noticed that, too. A lot of, I guess a lot more players than, than usual seem to be going back to teams they used to play for at one point or another. There's Matt Libertura to 199. I don't know why I top-footed that, but, but there it is. Box two in the books. Next box, next jumbo box. Forgot to put this in the schedule, but I don't think there's anything sold out after this, but the spray will take about an hour. We're already about 13 minutes in. So with the moves that were made, who, I guess, who won the trading deadline? A lot of people talk about who wins the off season, but I don't know if that's usually indicative of how, especially in baseball, how a team's going to look the following year. Look at the Mets and Padres did and now, now look at them. Although the Padres don't look now, but the Padres in the last month have been playing some great baseball. So maybe, I think they were buyers. I think they added, added some players. I think they're looking, they're looking to make a run. In the AL, the Orioles made some moves. They're leading the division. So is Texas, so is Minnesota. Toronto made some moves. They're third in the wild card. Yeah, Houston picked up Verlander. Houston picked up Verlander and they're second in the wild card and the Razor first in the wild card race. They're five games ahead. I think they're going to be fine, but Houston and Toronto make some moves. Red Sox not making moves. Yeah, the Angels are only three back of a wild card spot and they picked up Geolito among others. They need some help on that front part of that rotation. You know, give the team a little confidence as well. Sometimes that alone helps with your team's abiding team. They added some hitters too, which made an impact the other night already. Here is Tyler Freeman for Ryan and the Guardians. Cleveland! This is for you! Another Guardian for Ryan. So yeah, Angels making moves. So that's good for them. Yankees not really making moves. They're three and a half back of the wild card at Albert Pujols to 125. Seattle is three and a half back. They're within striking distance, but I don't know if they really made too many buys. Look at that. An ultraviolet, Adley Rushman. Nice one for Aaron and the O's. It's a case hit. Yeah, the Angels needed that starting help and that's for sure. They can't just rely on Ohtani. Although Patrick Sandoval is having a decent season. But yeah, they could use another guide towards the front of that rotation. And then we got a Rookie Auto. Joey Manessus, 196 out of 499. Rookie Auto for Patrick Davis and the Nationals. Lacey up in this. Got a nice rookie silver here and Michael Harris. That's going to go to Matt and the Braves. So let's see how the trades shake out in the AL. What about the NL? Do we have any difference makers in the NL? Trade windows. So the Braves are already leading the east, Todd is leading the west, Cincinnati is leading the central. Did Cincinnati make any additions? Anyone remember? Mark Vientos, 299. I thought they'd be a lot more aggressive, but maybe they like what they have. Dodgers made some moves. We're going to see Lance Lynn tonight. That was the Dodgers pick up. Hopefully he can eat up some innings. But the rest of the Dodger starters get healthier and hopefully work through some a little bit of a slump. 48 out of 150. Logan Ohapi for the Halos. That's going to go to Kenny. I think San Francisco made some moves. They're leading the wild card. Philadelphia made some moves. They added Michael Lorenzen, I believe, which kind of short up their pitching staff. Who trade turners been slumping a little bit? He needs to, he wakes up and everything starts clicking. That'll be good. Ah, Ryan's thinking the reds picked up a relief for the A's. Um, I think Arizona made some additions. Miami made some additions. I think Brewers added a reliever. Cubs are three and a half games out. They made some, they made some moves here, made a couple little moves to help them out. The Padres even made some moves. There are five games back of a wild card spot. I think they're, I think they're trying to go for it. That's going to be a tight race between the Diamondbacks, Miami and Milwaukee are all tied for, well actually it's super. I mean San Francisco, Philadelphia, Arizona, Miami, Milwaukee, they're all within a game of each other. And then the Cubs are currently on the outside looking in at three and a half games back. The Padres are five games back. Those are the teams that seem to be pushing for a wild card spot. That, that, that list, that whole entire list could be completely different within a couple of weeks. Mets are six games back, but it looks like they're putting up the white flag for the season. So dumb question, Rex is saying, no one can do any trading for the rest of the season, correct? However, they can sign people. Yes. So players that are released can be signed, I guess at any time. There's Connor Cappell. Yeah, it does Ryan. If anything, it creates more, more aggressive buyers in the market, right? That extra wild card spot having three total A's, that's for Eric M. So it kind of prevents nice Jordan Walker rookie refractor prevents straight up fire sales for most teams keeps most teams in it makes more player more teams makes more than buyers and there's Esther Ruiz, the speedster out of 299. And if you are trading, you probably get a decent return because there's not as many sellers and a lot of buyers. So it's teams that do have to sell might get some better, it might get a better return. It's 14 out of 250, Brandon Hughes, purple chrome autograph. So maybe that maybe it works for everybody for the cubbies that's going to go to Stephen Carney. There's a Josh Young rookie refractor that's going to go to Tristan in Texas. Yeah, that one game wild card was a little awkward. Now we've got now we've got a short little series and that makes a little more sense in terms of baseball. That's a might might not be a bad we'll keep seeing how it plays out as the years go on but not a bad move by a major league baseball. I think we've got a Jeremy Pena flipped around here. Is that maybe a short print? Maybe not, I don't think so. I think the end of the card should be 181, base is 121, this is 121. Yep, yeah, a little, a little nice little eight game whether we're there on an eight game winning streak and Cubs. Yeah, that's enough to change a team's mind. I think that's what happened with the angels as well. They had a nice little week and that kind of changed their mind. They're like, well effort, let's go for it. There's Anderson Espinoza, rookie auto for the Padres, that'll be for Brooks and the Friars, DL Hall to 399. I mean, it'd be hard to believe that like the DFA market is not going to be great. I doubt the Cubs are going to get anybody in the DFA market the next few weeks because like, who are they going to take off the roster for that player? I mean, I guess maybe they'll pick them up for for a minor league role, but I mean, Nelson Cruz got DFA. Is he going to get picked up by the Cubs and drop a player from their current 25, 26 man roster? There's an injury maybe. Yeah, I thought the, I don't know, we'll see how the dust settles on what happened with Dylan Sees, but I thought Dylan Sees was a good candidate for the Dodgers. I thought they would make a real big push for him, but maybe the asking price was was too high. Yeah, so let me see. According to mlbtraderumors.com, Red Sox acquired Luis Urias. This is what Ryan was talking about earlier. Josh Bell went to the Marlins. And Guardian's got some guys back. Got Khalil Watson will Khalil Watson and will release Jean to grow. Khalil Watson is, I feel like was was at one point a higher touted prospect for the fish. I dodged, he's got Ryan Yarbrough. So he's kind of bolster the pitching staff. Padres acquired Scott Barlow. Blue Jays got Paul de Young. But I don't think, yeah, he was a first round pick, right? So I don't know why they were moving him for Josh Bell, but maybe, maybe there was no space for him. Maybe Watson hadn't progressed as, as quickly as they wanted him to. Tommy Pham to the Dyman's back. That was a good move too. Well, Padres also got Rich Hill and G-Man Choi from the pilot. Rich Hill's been having a decent season. He's a, he's a great, great pitcher for the back of that rotation. So Padres are really going for it. So let's see how all these trades shake out. It'll be very interesting to see. We've got something for the twins, Louis Varlin. Rookie Otto for the twins. That'll be for Dylan. Ah, he hasn't been hitting that well on A-Ball. Well, if the Guardians minor league system can unlock something, if their coaches can unlock something in them, that'll be a great deal. There's Clayton Kershaw, photo negative. He'll be coming off the IL soon. Dodgers just rolling with it. They're like, hey, we don't, we don't need to add too much. We like what we got, apparently. Or perhaps the price was just too high. A lot of teams knowing how rich that Dodgers farm system is. Oh yeah, I know about the auction thing, Rex. We've been working pretty closely with Fanatics over this past year on all sorts of fun features. 60 out of 299, Spencer Steer. Purple speckle. Got him on my fantasy team early on this season. Picked him up off the waivers. He's been playing great. I feel like if there are a few other rookies that didn't exist in the NL, you know, he might have a good shot at some, uh, some rookie of the year votes. And yeah, that auction feature on Fanatics Live, I think it's going to be one of those things where, um, you know, that'll, that'll, in lieu of say, let's say we're trying to move a team or something like that or a few teams, maybe in lieu of a filler, we can use that auction function and just move teams that way. It makes it a little more interactive and fun. And that app allows that kind of fun. We're going to have a lot of fun with that app, especially it's still, it's still in beta. We were, we, we had a nice meeting with Fanatics at the national on Friday and spent some time with them. And, uh, and some of the big wigs, some C-suite guys. Here's Nelson Velazquez. Was this the player? Was Nelson Velazquez moved? Yeah. He's on the Royals now. So Stephen Carney with the Cubs. Still Cubs edition in this set. But that's what he's about. Bigger post that's here? Yeah. Checking the back cabinet or Marin might have something. Three boxes to go. But yeah, talks a lot of Fanatics folks, couple of C-suite guys, some of the Fanatics events guys. Um, so they've got a lot of, uh, they got a lot of big ideas in the pipeline. Now for now, I think the, the reminder to everybody is that the Fanatics Vibe app is still in a, uh, in beta form. They do, I do have to make some adjustments on the, on the back end of things in terms of shipping. So there may be, unless they fix that already, they've been fixing a lot of things pretty quickly, but, um, but I think shipping wise, it takes a little extra time. So giving them the little patience there, but yeah, that should be a pretty, it should be a pretty fun app. A lot easier for us to use on that end as well. They're not, Adam. They're working on it as we speak. It's Gabriel Moreno, 230 at 250. It is, it is a, an issue. It's a known issue. It was, that was the plan anyway. They wanted to start with iOS, but they're, they've also concurrently have Android in the works. That should be out in a month or two, but they're not ignoring Android and how many, how many people in the world use, use Android. I think from a, from, uh, if you're not familiar with develop, development, developing, a lot of developers will, will build on the iOS platform first. I think there's just a lot more challenges to making it work for iOS and a lot more, a lot more challenges to get that into the iOS app store. A lot of regulations there. So that's why most apps, I think even back in the day when like Instagram, Twitter, Uber, Lyft, stuff like that, when a lot of those beta apps were released, they're all for iOS. So once you can clear that Apple store platform and the complexities of iOS, then it's a lot easier to build right on top of Android and then push that out. 47 out of 299, Bryce Johnson. Yeah, we saw some base Corbin carols, but nothing numbered, no color, no autograph just yet, Tyler Z, but thankfully we saw one more autograph in this stack and two more boxes to go. We got Michael Conforto, gold wave to 12, 12 out of 15. More people also use iPhones. I thought Android was probably, isn't that the most used platform though? Between, between Galaxy and LG and Google Pixel and here's a James Almond autograph. Nice rookie auto for David and the Dodgers. Last fought mode, nobody wanted him. Everyone just stared at the Dodgers. Didn't want to take him, James. Almond hitting a lot better in the last month or so. Might want to get the power numbers up just a tad, but he's playing well. All right, two more box to go, six autos to go. Yeah, that's what I thought. Android has 70% market share, but it's not like Fnatic was like, oh, I forgot about Android. No, they did not. This was planned from the get go. Also developing a desktop version as well. I don't know which is going to come out first, but they're working on it. Here's Christopher Morel, 113 out of 150. Yeah, we had a nice little meeting with that whole Fnatic's live team. And I know it's kind of hard to see from the viewer perspective, but they've got a big team. They've got a really smart team there. There's Ramon Laureon from 199. A's, that will be for Eric, but they've, you know, Fnatic's either poached or recruited a lot of smart programmers from around the industry. So it's not like they just hired a bunch of interns and was like, hey, you know, okay, this is out of, I think this is a variation. Yeah, this is a short print. Josh Young, you can already tell it looks a little different. So you can see there's that tiny little serial number ends with 173 instead of the usual 121, which is the base. 181 is a super short print. This is just a short print here. Very nice. Rangers. It's going to go to Tristan, who got Texas straight up. And we've got Simeon Woods Richardson, twins. That will be for Dylan in Minnesota. We've been seeing a number of those base Corbin carols. I'm going to find some, some actual Corbin carols, some, some Parallels, some Autos, 72 out of 350, Danesby, Swanson for the Cubs, Steven. Ah, Gilo saying that iPhone has more U.S. market share. Adam didn't admit though that he was not doing super in depth research, just did a quick, quick Google search. Behind Bregman is Brett Beatty. Refractor autograph for the Mets. It's going to be from Mark. Actually, David, you're right. Yeah, that should be that. I should have been, well, all cars should have. You'll get it. Take care of those Otanis and those Akunya juniors because TOPS is bringing back that, what should we call it, that MVP buyback program. Do you remember that? You bring from TOPS Chrome, you bring an Otani or Ronald Akunya base card back to your local participating hobby shop. And I think you get like some sort of, I think we give you some sort of credit in return. I think we saw a few Otanis in here, but, but yeah, I think on a certain day next year, it'll be a day where a week or so where you can bring in your base and you can get some nice credit from your local hobby shop. And that goes back to TOPS and then they do something with it. I don't know, they must have something special planned. Yeah, Otani base going for like a hundred bucks, even now? I think by the time that promo happened, it might not be that high, but, but yeah, Otani seems like a lot. Oh, 10 bucks. Sorry, I read 100 bucks. Still, I think the credit was more than that. Is Evan around? Yeah, we were looking at who the favorites were for those awards yesterday. And yeah, Otani was a super heavy favorite. No one was really even close. And then here's Otani right here. And Akunya Jr. on the NL side was also not as, not as, not as heavy a favorite as Otani, but he was a favorite. Usually a lot of times they're not as, not that heavy a favorite, even at these stages of the season, they're all usually at underdog prices. You got Bo Nailer, 19 out of 2.99. This for you, Ryan with the Guardians. We got a George Springer photo negative for the Blue Jays, Dominic with the Bluebirds, and nice Christian Yellow to Relic. These generally fall one per case, one every other case, something like that. And that will be for Brian Kay and the Brew Crew. There's Mike Trout, and the second half of the final box. Good luck, my friends. We've got another case in the store. We can run it back at some point tonight. And Sean Bouchard, 15 out of 199. Aqua Shimmer is our final autograph of the Reagan, unless there's a bonus one in there. That'll be for the Rockies Tim Lehi. Or no, we should have one more. Sorry, there was two autographs and that one was just the Relic. So we still have a third and final autograph out of this box. Who could it be? Now, Francisco Alvarez, rookie refractor for the Metz. We've got Riley Green, Green. 599 Greenway for Detroit. That'll be for David O. Got a Gunnar Henderson rookie refractor. And behind Riley Green is a Caleb Killian autograph. Chicago Cubs, rookie auto for Stephen Carney. The Gunnar Henderson refractor will go to Aaron and the O's. Let's see if there's any other parallels to close things out. I've got a Gunnar Henderson insert, Mackenzie Gore, and a DJ LeMayhew refractor. There you go, boys and girls. Hey, Evan. When we did that MVP buyback thing, what was the credit? It was $20 for a base, $40 for a refractor, $100 for a number to over $100, and then $200 for anything $99. Store credit. Yes. Participating locations only. So whoever has the angels in this break, which will be Kenny, and whoever has the braves, Matt, you know, you're more likely to hold onto that base and see if you have a participating store location that'll do that for you or, I guess, maybe put it on a secondary market, I'm sure there'll be someone who has a participating store. That's a short print right here. It's a participating store that'll be happy to buy. Here's the recap. Nice little break, some nice colors, some nice autographs. You know, we've got the Adley Rushman ultraviolet, the Josh Young short print, some nice color, Adley Rushman refractors, Logan O'Hop, that's one to hold onto. Nice break, ladies and gentlemen. More in the store at jaskyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
