 Hi everyone, Joe for GaspysCaseRakes.com. We did it. We knocked out 2022 Bowman Baseball eight box jumbo. Pick your team six. No vet paper ships, no rookie paper ships, no prospect paper ships, but Bowman first paper do ship. Previous years we hadn't shipped them and we made that clear in the description, but this year we are shipping Bowman first paper. So that's got enough, of course, obviously all the hits and numbered cards and numbered paper and autographs, blah, blah, blah, all those. You know the drill by now. Big thanks to, there's the case right there, big thanks to this group for getting in on the action. Now if you have a little rooftop next to your name, that means you won that spot in the filler. The team random that we did. Some of you won spots in a filler pack and then won a team. So good little parlay there. Thanks everybody for getting in, appreciate it. Good luck everybody. Yeah, I don't think Jose Fernandez does count. Yeah, gone too soon, of course, but he definitely made it to the pros and was highly touted and was doing incredibly well. I think Rex was talking more like, who are some of these players that are maybe like high school stars or maybe even college stars, just for one reason or another didn't quite, could have been great, but didn't quite make it. All right, first jumbo box. Now jumbo, I know we did a couple hobby cases this past handful of days. The hobby case is only of one autograph per box. These jumbos have more cards and three autos per box. You know, Marshawn Lynch would talk about how when he was going to school in Oakland in high school, he was saying, he said, maybe junior high, early high school, he said, I don't think I was the best athlete, you know, the best athlete on the streets. They were at my school, you know, but he said that a lot of his, you know, he lost a lot of friends to gangs. And so some of those athletes, you know, never make it. You know, yeah. How do you say is this player first name, Saisha Cotton was the best basketball player that Oliver has ever seen in person but never made it to the league. What happened? Sometimes it's injury. Sometimes it's an untimely death, medical condition, you know, substance abuse, you know, mental health issues. Like there's so many reasons why, like, that's why, you know, it's like, you know, that's why it's sort of, it's really hard. I know it's sort of the understatement, but it's really hard to be a professional athlete. Shay, okay, Shay Cotton. Yeah, inner city kids that never got a chance, no one sees them because no one's ever looking at them. Well, people are recruiting inner cities all the time, but maybe an inner city where a school can't afford a basketball team or a football team. Yeah, maybe in that case, yeah, that's a missed opportunity right there. Here's Anthony Rodriguez, Bowman first autograph for the Giants. We'll do an autograph recap at the end too. Ariano with that one. So he could dunk outside the key at 11. Wow, went to Alabama but didn't do anything. Back injuries and grades and never got a chance. Ended up at Long Beach State. I think Oliver may know more about this than I do, but I think there's often an LA anyway, and I'm sure any other bigger city where high schools can be accused of recruiting in inner cities and then creating fake addresses or whatever so they can play at maybe a more prestigious high school or something like that. That happens quite frequently around here. There's a very nebulous sort of legality or morality or whatever to it that it's not very regulated, you know? I think you can get in, I'm assuming you can get in trouble for that, but I don't know how much trouble you can get. It's not like there's an NCAA. I guess there is a governing body, sports body, but I don't know how big the punishments are. Right, happens all the time, yeah. Some kid in the inner city of Los Angeles gets plucked up, get a scholarship, go to private school, win, yeah. There's Felix Valero, 163 out of 399. Lime green paper for the brew crew. That'll be for Jeff. Oh, did Redondo get, got in trouble for moving kids into the area? There's Creed Williams. Yeah, if you thought like, if you thought the paying of college students were bad, in college, man, there's nothing more crazy, I think. And that's, there's a documentary there. You know, just like the insanity of like high school sports and the recruiting that happens and all the crazy parents involved and all that sort of stuff, it's wild. But yeah, Redondo got in trouble for moving kids to the area for basketball. We were awesome all over the same, but the parents of the kids that really lived here got pissed, got the coach fired. They won the D2 state championship like it are nine years ago. Yeah, it's crazy. There's Nick Gonzalez to 125. And like, it's, it's earlier and earlier too. You know, like, I feel like kids are playing travel ball at a much earlier age. This is for the Pirates, this will be for Dusty. You know, the shadiness of the AAU circuit for basketball has been, has been well documented. All right, yeah. Tim saying Chicago had a young legend that was shot a year ago and he was going to be good. Yeah, most of those stories about the greatest players to never make it, you know, are usually kind of sad stories eventually. And there's Larry at Ernesto, 48 out of 250, purple chrome autograph for Jeff Lydell or Lytle and the Brewers. There you go, Jeff, on the board. There's Refractor, Esteve Machado to 4.99. It's for the Blue Jays, that'll be for Jason. And all those, those cards will sleeve into our shipping team will sleeve and totload them before they're, before they're sorted and shipped, of course. We'll do an autograph recap at the end, box one in the books, box two, here we go. Box two, another three autograph to go. So take a look at what happened in the world of baseball. A Dan Vogelbach home run leads the Pirates past my Dodgers, five, three. Christian Yelich has a record tying third cycle. He hit for the cycle today, but in a losing effort. It's never fun. I think all three of Christian Yelich's cycles when he hit, when he hit for the cycle, have been against the Reds, is what I saw. The other person with three cycles, I believe is Trey Turner. No one has four cycles. Glebert Torres had five RBIs in the five, three win over the Blue Jays. Marlin's used an eight run ninth. Wow. An eight run ninth to blow past the Diamondbacks, 11 to three. I think that might be a record. No, maybe not. Oh, there's five people with three cycles. Who are the other, who are the other? No one has four though, right? Oh, I think Trey Turner is the only active player that has, that currently has, maybe that's what I was thinking of. Adrian Beltrave, Babe Herman, Bob Musil, John Riley are the ones with the other players with three cycles. No one has four. I guess it's tough. I suppose there's Brandon Marsh. He's been playing well. Paper to 499, that'll be for Tim Burke. I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong, is the cycle more rare than the no hitter? I think it is, especially in recent years. I think we've seen a lot, an uptick in no hitters, but cycle doesn't happen all the time. So all these Bowman first papers will ship, that won't ship, that will ship. That's Reginald Presciato. Purple paper to 250, Mark Basette. Of course these won't ship, but the Bowman firsts will ship. That obviously ships. This will ship Colson Montgomery. 28 out of 499, refractor autograph for Andrew and the White Sox. And they're a late first round pick right here. Nice. Yeah, the Reed Devmer's no hitter was pretty amazing. It was really efficient too, from what I remember from last night. I think he did it in not too many pitches, maybe under 110 pitches, which I think that's the way, I mean with, I don't know, not a lot of managers, especially with a rookie, not a lot of managers are gonna, modern managers these days are gonna let pitchers grind out that 150 pitch no hitter or something like that. Guys will get pulled like in the sixth or seventh inning, even with a no hitter. You've seen it happen a lot. But yeah, I mean if you wanna do it, you gotta be efficient. 108 pitches, right? And he had an easy eighth all over saying yeah, you gotta, that's what you gotta do. That's how you have to do the no hitters nowadays. There's Pablo Aliendo. Gold shimmer 22 out of 50 for Mark and the Cubbies. The youngest pitcher to ever win a Cy Young. Doc Gooden maybe? Wasn't Fernando pretty young? Who's the youngest pitcher ever to win back to back Cy Young awards? Oh well, since this is Tim, and he's a Giants fans, Tim Lincegum, right? That's easy. Yeah, it is Tim Lincegum. That's like Rex asking a trivia question and we know it's gonna be a Cub. There's Edgar Cuero, Lava parallel to 399. That's also for the Halos. That's gonna be for Tim Burke. There's Errol Vera, blue paper to 125. Another Angel parallel going to Tim Burke. Or by Nolan Ryan, Rex, right? Right, that would be on brand as well. And we've got Dori Lorenzo, 97 out of 199. Fuchsia parallel for the Stroze. That's gonna be for David Cope. And there's Colson Montgomery, another Colson Montgomery for Andrew Song and the White Sox. Won that spot. I think he's got a lot of symbols next to his name, Andrew. I think you won that spot. You won an extra spot to win a spot and then got randomized the White Sox. That's what I'm seeing. All right, next box. Right, so Dot Gooden is the youngest to win a Cy Young Award. And Tin Limb's come the youngest to win back to back Cy Young Awards. Which I don't think has happened since Tin Limb's to come, right? Was he also the last player to win back to back Cy Young Awards? Did Kershaw, a Kershaw one back to back? And Scherzer? Maybe Verlander? DeGrom, I was gonna say DeGrom. I remember, I thought there was a year in between Kershaws. Rex is saying, speaking of which, with all his records, Nolan Ryan never got a Cy Young. Well Rex, you have to accept the fact Nolan Ryan was not very good. That's why he didn't win any Cy Youngs. He was just around the league for a long time. Just racked up counting stats. Philly's beat the Marriors four or two. Brandon Crawford Homer, leading Alec Cobb and the Giants past Colorado 7-1. And the Giants beat the Rockies for the 10th straight time. Rocks will get one someday. Rex's Cubs beat the Padres. Rivas's key hit versus Hometown Padres, list Cubs for a 7-5 win. A homecoming, of sorts, for Alfonso Rivas. Soto, Cruz, Pound, Metz's, Taylor McGill, Early Nationals win 8-3. Ray Snapp, a three game losing streak. And I should have bet the Rays. Teams that usually get no hit, oftentimes bounce back the next game. But it took him 10 innings. Rays beat the Angels four or two. A shut out the Tigers nine, nothing, and I've got a handful of more games in the next box. Wait, Tim's got some trivia for us. Only two pitchers in Major League Baseball to win multiple Cy Youngs, to win multiple World Series to be elected to multiple All-Star Game to pitch multiple No-Hitters. And there's only two. That's a good trivia question. Do we have to fact check Tim or can we trust him? He's been trimming trees all night, so I don't know. I don't know if we could trust this info. I mean, there's only so many pitchers that have won multiple Cy Young Awards. So that's got to cut down the list a little bit and then find those who have No-Hitters. It's got to be Tin Linsicum, right? That's got to be on the list. Sandy Kofax, maybe? There's Taj Bradley. Oliver's got it? Nice. Well, yeah, one of the answers, definitely Tin Linsicum. And Sandy Kofax is the other. Perfect answer, says Tim. Nice. Good job, Oliver. I don't think Maddox ever had a No-Hitter, right? Maddox had that uncanny ability, though. I think he's had a number of complete games. Here's Adrian Sugastri, Sugestri, Sugesti. 240 out of 299 for the Giants. A number of sub-100 pitch complete games. Maddox is pretty efficient. There is Roberto Campos, 414 out of 499. That will be for Evan and the Tigers. There's Maddox memes with him not showing a house with the corners painted, I get it. He paints those corners. Mike Tower, you're absolutely right. I don't think we're gonna see another 300 game winner. Orioles, that's gonna be for Anthony Loot, picked up that team straight up. Friede Williams refractor autograph, nice. Does Verlander get 300 wins? He's at 230 right now. I'm looking at the list right now. He leads all active players with wins with 230. That's tough, right? Another, yeah, I looked it up too, Mike. You piqued my curiosity. That's a lot of wins. That's another 70 wins. 39 years old. Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna happen. Oh yeah, you think Kate Upton's holding him back? I think he's doing just fine. No, I don't think 70 wins is gonna happen. The next closest, Zach Rankie with 219. I don't know if that's gonna happen. Max Scherzer at 194. There's Dustin Harris to 399. I think that's a tough ask for Scherzer too. I'm trying to, on the baseball reference has the list, I'm trying to look at it while I'm doing this. I'm trying to look at who's the youngest pitcher, who's the youngest pitcher with the most wins, I guess is kind of what I'm looking at. I guess compared to Verlander, Clayton Kershaw is only 34. Wayne writes 40. So Kershaw, what, five years younger than Justin Verlander has 189 wins. If he could pitch to Verlander's age, I don't know, he's not gonna make it, right? Divided by five. Kershaw would have to win 22 games a season for the next five years, and that's gonna be tough. Although he's four and only this season. Yeah, I think 3,000 hits will still be a possibility. Active hits, active players hit list. Pujols is, oh Pujols already in Cabrera, he already up 3,000. Cano, I don't think he's gonna get 3,000. Yadi won't get to 3,000. Bado's having a bit of a rough year this year. I don't think he'll hit 3,000. I think Elvis Andrews is at 1,800 hits. I don't know where he's at, where is Elvis Andrews? You see on, this is with the A's. I don't know, Elvis Andrews really have to turn back the clock, I think. Yeah, it's gonna be years before we see anybody get close, right? And it's hard to calculate, like Hosea El Tube is at almost 1,800 hits. Do we project that out to 3,000? Maybe, a lot of hits to go. Freddie Freeman's at 1737, he's 32 years old. 13th season in the league. Yeah, it might be years. Cause then we're gonna have to start looking at players that have played less than 10 years in their career just to see if they can even do it. Let's look at players who have like 1,500 hits, right? But closer to 10 years. In their career. You know, you're asking Ian Desmond, Gene Seguro, who are in their 11th years of their career to play another 10 years and not drop in production. And that's tough. 3,000 hits is not easy, but I think that's gonna be, I could see 3,000 hits happening again more frequently than say 300 wins for a pitcher, for a starting pitcher. 77 out of 299. Darryl Hernandez. Ironically, Mike Tower, with the way, you know, baseball pitching staffs are constructed these days. This one goes to Anthony Lu. Would it be crazy to think that a middle reliever would just rack up those wins? Pitchers getting, starters getting pulled from games earlier, more middle relievers, gobbling up some innings if the game's tied, they end up with the win on their record. A reliever whose careers could last a little bit longer than a starting pitcher. Did you imagine? A middle reliever's gonna win 20 games someday. Would there be any where to see the next big records that may be broken? I actually don't know. But someone's gotta have that database somewhere. Or like someone will research it and put in a blog post or an article or something like that. There's Creed Williams, another Oriole. 34 out of 75, Anthony Lu. There you go, Anthony. Racking up the O's. Yeah, I agree, I agree Rex. I don't think Ripken's consecutive game streak is gonna be broken any time soon. Right, Tim even thinks that he's gonna see the 52 game hitting streak get broken, that record being broken for Ripken's record, absolutely. There's Randy Vasquez, Yankees, Mark for the Yankees. I was just gonna say who's the current active games played leader? And Rebels says Whit Merrifield only needs to play until he's 46 to match Ripken's record. There you go. Go Whit. Yeah, Wayne Gretzky holds a lot of hockey records. So although some people think that guy, someone like Connor McDavid could possibly chase that. Yeah, no, I don't think Elvis Andrews is gonna get 30,000. He might be lagging behind a little bit. Click the live button, Tim. There you go, there's Anthony. Congrats. Thanks for getting that team straight up. You're being rewarded. 74 out of 99, Green's speckle, Willem Diaz. That is for the Dodgers, that'll be for Evan. Got some paper right here, 433 out of 499. Alexander Vargas for the Yankees, Mark B. Speaking of McDavid, which current great athletes may never win their sports championship? Well, baseball is notoriously hard. A lot of great players and a lot of teams that aren't gonna get close. My trout. Yeah. I mean, although, Angels are looking good this season. Might be one of the best seasons in a long time for the Angels. It's a great start for them. It's box. We're halfway through the break. Got about another 30, 35 minutes to go. Yeah, this break clocks in at about an hour. Give or take, a few minutes or so. I mean, what are they? Football's tough too, right? Football's gotta be one of the hard, I mean, I guess all the sports are hard to win a championship. I mean, you can think about, basically think about every team that Tom Brady beat. Sometimes you just run into a buzzsaw of greatness. How many great basketball players in the 90s were just blocked by, I guess in the 80s, you're blocked by the Lakers and Celtics. In the 90s, you're blocked by, for the most of the decade, by Michael Jordan. Guys like Stockton and Malone. Or guys that two players that just ran into that bull's buzzsaw and never knocked out a championship. Yeah, that's a big one, right? Barry Sanders, probably a big name. One of the greats that never won it. It's Jeremy Vargas, Aqua Shimmer to 125 for Jeff and the Brew Crew. And I guess more recently, like Megatron, Calvin Johnson. And then we've got a speckle autograph, Luke Waddell, 139 to 299. That's for Atlanta, Jimmy Connell, with the bravows. And we've got Justice is served. Justice Thompson for the Reds, Mark B with the Red Legs. Ron Cincinnati, Ron Cincinnati. Blue Paper to 150, Lenion Sosa. We've got Pablo Allendo for the Cuvies. Mark Bissette in the Cubs. Mike was asking, which player was your favorite when you were young slash growing up? That's a good question. I had a single favorite player growing up. There's Francisco Alvarez, 75. 36 out of 75. Yellow Chrome for Michael P in the Mets. I always liked the Dodgers growing up, but I never really had like, oh, there's that one guy's poster that I had on my wall or something like that. I love the Dodgers though. For Tim, it was Will Clark, Will the Thrill. Yeah, my cousins grew up in Northern California. They're big Giants fans. One of my cousins, Dan, Dan was a lefty, is a lefty. And so in his baseball playing days, he kind of mimicked that sort of Will Clark sort of batting stance. Throat's drying out a little bit. Will Clark hit a home run in his first pro at bat. Can you name the pitcher he hit it off of? He's a Hall of Famer, Tim Lincegum. That's a question from Tim. The answer is always Tim Lincegum. Whatever happened to that one prospect with the last name, Justice? I believe it was a Yankee around the same time as Judge. You remember because of Judge and Justice? I don't remember a ball player with the last name, Justice. That's a prospect for you. I remember David Justice of the Braves back in the day. When did Brooks Robinson became one of Boss Man's favorite players? I think in the 60s. During the heyday of Brooks Robinson. Human vacuum cleaner, I think they used to call him. Did they decide the best placement for the sports sticker? Where did you hear about that, Mike? Were we talking about that earlier? No, it was just that Nick Jaspie just got overruled from the get-go. I think everyone voted above the TVs. Nick wanted below the TVs. Cause he thinks of the TV where there's always the sports tickers always on the bottom ticking, right? Where my finger is. They called Jason over to look at it during a break. Yeah, that was a hot debate today, apparently. A hot topic of conversation. There's Adley Rushman to 250. Purple Lava. Purple Chrome Lava for Anthony and the Orioles. Did they put a poll on IG? Nice. Yeah, it's like literally a long black bar, like a stock ticker or like a sports book ticker that you'd see at a sports book. There's Luke White-Elb to 250. Purple Chrome for Jimmy and the Braves. And then I think they ended up looking at pictures of sports books. And apparently they're all over the place. Some have them above the TVs. Some have them below the TVs. Some have them both. Part of the cutting process at the factory, sometimes you get a little extra trim. You can't believe Nick just didn't say, this is my business, we'll do what I say. It was Nick's dad spearheading that, so. I think Pops still has some, still hasn't pulled around the shot Rex, the boss man. We got Malcolm Nunez, 162 out of 199 in purple paper for the Cardinals, that's for Andrew. And there's Oswaldo Cabrera. That'll be for the Yankees, Mark B with the Bronx Bombers. Just wait until they get a, yeah, wait until we get a jumbo tron. Or we were thinking about like, at one point we thought about, and then we just didn't have the real estate for it. But like maybe a three level bleacher that people can sit on. But then we need the real estate. Another Yankee, Randy Vasquez, 65 out of 499 Refractor Autograph for Mark and the Yankees. Two for two. Man, that's always, parents just don't understand Rex. Parents just don't understand. No, I actually, I actually voted top two. Above the TVs. Cause I hadn't heard about the debate until I came into the shop. And then Nick was like, you don't know what my opinion is. You can just, can answer this unbiased. And I answered top. Above the TVs. Nick was disappointed. The boss man was very happy. I think, do they sell stadium size, we do have two seats from Dodger Stadium that are in here. Sometimes I sit in those when I take five. We got Louise Gill, fuchsia paper to 299 for Mark. And we got Felix Valerio, 390 to 499, that is for Jeff and the Brew Crew. Won that spot, got randomized, the Brewers, got a couple autos. I don't think they set up the ticker yet, but once it's set up, we'll definitely snap a picture of it and show everybody. Rex finds old seats fastening. Yeah, if you have that in your house or a shop, imagine who sat in those seats. Who could have sat in those seats? All right, a president. A musician, murder. Anyone could have sat in one of those seats, that's true. Or a falsely convicted murder, Rex. Remember the story of the guy that used footage from a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, right? That was taped at Dodger Stadium and they had a lot of B-roll. And a person who was convicted of murder, I think convicted of murder or at least charged with murder. His alibi was, hey, I was at Dodger Stadium. Prove it. No ticket stub, nothing. But they were taping an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm that day and they found his face from that B-roll footage. And then it went free. Yeah, true story. I think Netflix has like a little 40 minute doc on it or the interview with the guy and Larry David and all that. There's Alvin Guzman, 139 out of 399. Andrew with the Diamondbacks. And a Luke Waddell Atomic Autograph, 47 out of 100. Jimmy and the Braves. And a Luke and Baker, All America Autograph. Now I think he's a Cardinal. Let's look it up. Got him. Yeah, he has a Cardinal. What's he up to? I guess he started this season in AAA. To begin the 2022 season. All right. That's Andrew with the Redbirds. Although, I think they converted him to a hitter. Yeah, they have him as a pitcher here. But no, he's a first base prospect. Tim Still needs a win. You don't deserve one if you don't know how to spell his name. And we've got Joenski Noel. Cleveland, this is for you. That's Jordan Ashton and the Guardians with a spot that he won. We've got Michael Triana, 140 out of 150. Blue Shimmer for Mark and Cincinnati. Ron to Cincinnati. Ron to Cincinnati. We've got a Julio Rodriguez Bowman 3D Atomic Parallel to 150, that's nice. Mariners, Jeff with the M's. We've got Isaac Pacheco, 138 out of 499 for the Tigers. Evan, I say sometimes when you get one of those autos that there is an, you still get an extra auto. I thought I saw that last time, but maybe not this time. There's Reed Devmers, throw no hitter last night against the Rays. There's Robbie Martin Jr. 109 out of 125. Aqua for the Rockies. Michael for the Rocks. Man, yeah, there it is. There's Willman Candelario, 322 out of 499 Refractor Auto for the Royals, Corey with Kansas City. Got that team straight up on the board. So a nice little bonus auto there. And ladies and gentlemen, look at this. We made it to the final box. Thanks everyone for making this happen. I appreciate it. Good luck everybody. This one's gonna be a little over now. I just dragged me just a little bit. Last three autos coming up. Hopefully some nice low numbered parallels too would be awesome. Maybe a train whistle. Out of five and under. We haven't seen a Super Fractor yet. There is Roni Enriquez. That's a Texas Ranger going to Ricky and the Rangers. And we've got a Malcolm Nunez Refractor to 499. We've got Eduardo Hernandez. 10 out of 99 green paper for the Rays. That will be for Tim and the Rays. Yeah, that was a heck of a game, Tim. That Buck Celtics game. You're kinda hearing highlights in the background there. I mean, Celtics really should have had that, but that just speaks to the quality of the Bucks. All right, we got Braylon Minier. 152 out of 250. That's the name I'm going with. That goes to Mark and the Red Legs. Still need to see two more autos here. We've got the first one over there. There's one. There's Brian Bellow that's going to go to Jonathan and the Boston Red Sox. Bowman first autograph I like. He's not like his use of the canvas. Makes good use of the canvas there. Number six Red Sox prospect. Looking for one more autograph. Are you next autograph? There is Andrew Benintendi. 44 out of 199. He's made the ball pretty well this season. That will be for Kansas City. That's gonna go to Corey. Last little stack here in this break. Thanks everybody for making this happen. I appreciate it. There were a couple hurdles that we had to jump over, but we did it. I appreciate everybody chipping away at all of that. Some great teamwork. I appreciate it. Appreciate the teamwork. Appreciate all the work from everyone. And there it is, our final autograph. It's a Rosemary Quintana. 42 out of 150. Blue Chrome autograph for EAN The Nationals. Got you, got at least one free at the very end. One better than none. Thanks everybody. Let's do a quick recap here. We want to be on top. So let's go from the most recent box to the first box. So thanks everyone for getting in. I appreciate it. A lot of nice parallels here. A lot of nice players. And that, my friends, is that. Thanks for watching. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next baseball break. Bye-bye.
