 Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, coming at you with a fun one here, 2023 Bowman Chrome Baseball Mega Box Edition. It's a dual case break, so it's 40 boxes. This is pick your team number one. All card ship, we're looking for the exclusive Mega Chrome patterns. Maybe some autos, a lot of fun stuff. Let's get to it. Big thanks to this group for making it happen, appreciate you. Here on a Wednesday the 11th, 2023, October, spooky season ladies and gentlemen, weather is getting a little colder around these parts, so I think a lot of you are probably feeling a little extra chill in the air. All right, so we've got an awkward shape, but let's pull the camera back just a little bit here. Let's pop open our first Mega case. We did load up another one, jaspyscasebrakes.com. Check that out, empty box, and there's one, two, three, four, five, 10, 15, 20, okay. Slide these to the back over here, bring this back over here, and here we go. Mega box, 35 Chrome cards total, that's the configuration there, so that's what we're looking for here as well, and good luck. Just got a little bit of a sponge thing there, let's pop that down there. Box one of 40, good luck everybody, thank you for getting in, back to the holiday on the box, oh and these are the, okay, I see what's happening. These are the Megas right here, a different pack. All right, and all card ship everybody, good luck. There's some fun ones here, there's a nice Celestine, and a Cam Collier Green, 31 out of 99. Got an iconic Manny Machado, that looks pretty cool, I like this mojo pattern, right, but they're calling it, I think a mega, they're calling it mega chrome pattern is what they're saying. All right, and I'll do a autograph or a notable card recap at the end, I think it's mostly going to be parallel hunting for us though. Good luck, is there a sponge on the bottom, I don't know if I opened from the bottom of the box, I don't have to deal with that sponge block, sponge block square pants down there. We got baseball happening ladies and gentlemen, let's take a quick look at the scoreboard here, Philly's putting the hurt on the Braves today, they lead the series 10-2, or they lead the series 2-1, they beat the Braves 10-2, Braves managed 10 hits, but only got two runs out of there, Philly's had 11 hits, about the same, but home runs helped them out, powered them to 10 runs on 11 hits. So the mega pack boxes, or the mega box packs look like that, the other ones are just regular ones, the other packs are just the regular ones. I wonder, are the Braves going to tie this up, I don't know, Philly's have looked great in the last couple of games, Astros are leading the twins 3-1, top of the 6th, Astros lead the series 2-1, they're looking to close this out in Minnesota. And then my daughter is trying to avoid the sweep in Arizona. Hey, we got Sebastian Walcott, love his swag there, some iconic, and Victor is tourist back there, these aren't numbered, but we did see numbered possibilities with that Cam Collier. Who does everyone have in the Astros Twins game, do you think the Twins, it's only down 2 runs, they still got 6, 7, 8, 9, they got 4 innings to go, there's a lot of game left, a lot of game left. What does everyone think about my Dodgers, Dodgers at Diamondbacks, Lance Lin on the mound, think the Diamondbacks sweep, or do the Dodgers take a game, alright, there's a green Lazaro Montes, 25 out of 99 for Seattle, that's going to go to Dustin in the Mariners, and that's Oh, and the Cam Collier also went to Dustin who had the Reds, alright, so some notable cards going to Dustin early on, he's been having a great day today, alright, next one, James is thinking sweep, yeah, I'm not too confident with Lance Lin on the mound, who is an experienced player for sure, but just this year, they've given up a ton of home runs, I suppose the Dodgers overachieved this season, they didn't do much in the off-season and everyone was calling it like a retool, you're not a rebuild but sort of a retool kind of year, maybe even reset the luxury tax and try to do that, and the fact of the matter is maybe they did overachieve, they really didn't have, kind of like the Rays, Rays lost pretty much their entire rotation, the Dodgers kind of lost a lot of starting pitch they're counting on as well, and you know, the youngsters perform admirably in the regular season but the playoffs are a different beast, here's a Corbin Carroll rookie card, it's going to go to Tim in the Diamondbacks, it's good for the hobby though, seeing these guys perform well, that's my silver lining, there are your mega chrome cards next, so if these results stand, let's say Astros Rangers, what does everyone have in that series, that's going to be division rivals in a CS, I feel like that's going to be a fun series to watch, could get chippy, who does everyone have there, Francisco Alvarez rookie card, Rangers are playoff hot, it's hard to bet against the experience of the Astros though, there's Alfredo Duno who's one of the kind of the upper tier, you know, headlined the MLB High Line number four rated prospect in the class is going to go to Dustin and the Reds, that's the kind of stuff we're looking for out of these mega boxes, I think there must be, I don't know, per case how many autos should we expect in a case of mega boxes, a couple, I would think, and if the results stand it'll be Philly's Diamondbacks in the playoffs, what are we feeling there, Philly's, you know, I bet Philly's fans wouldn't mind seeing the Astros again for a little revenge set up, we're looking for parallels here but there's some mostly prospects in this Bowman Chrome, but we've got a Volpe rookie card badge there, that's for Matt and the Yankees and the Rushman going to Dustin and the Orioles, dust off your Edward Julian cards ladies and gentlemen, I think he's a rookie in a lot of these sets, he just hit a solo shot, three two Astros, he is one of their top prospects, Proud is fired up, he's at the top of all, yeah they're at the top of the order so we've got some blue in there to save Josh Young, I don't know if I saved one already but there's a Josh Young, Gunner Henderson for the Orioles and I'll be for Dustin, D.Y. with the Rangers, you'll get all the Josh Youngs, right and some blue, we got blue for the boys in blue, that's Jesus Galiz, for my Dodgers, Baldomar has the Dodgers, there you go, 120 out of 150, nice little color match there as well, I mean to be a top, to be a number 24 prospect, Dodgers prospect is pretty good considering how deep that farm system is, I see some more color in there, good, good love seeing the color, we'll save a Yoshida here for the Red Sox, that'll be for Greg, hopefully we'll find some parallels, that's what we're really looking for, all of those Yoshidas will ship to you, all cards ship, all right there's the blue and it's behind Brady, take it to the house, wow it's an iconic but it's wonder, Harry with the rays, not sure what's going on with that situation there but I feel like the longer we don't hear news or updates, I feel like the worst it is, yeah it's always disappointing, you see the iconic insert, you see blue, you see and then you see the player name you're like oh, then we're drilling just hit a solo shot on Q, so we'll go to Renny and the twins and we've got some purple here, purple chrome, Jason Churio, nice Jason Churio and a Bowman Ascension which in the hobby cases are usually one per case, not sure how they fall in megas but there you go Cardinals, Jeremy Port, nice Jordan Walker, Bowman Ascensions and Jason Churio for Chris Perrin and Cleveland this is for you 51 out of 299, Tampa Bay Times they wanted to complain the Dominican Republic winter league, I don't need the Tampa Bay Times, I just need James, James told me that but no updates on the legal situation, Peter this is the Bowman Chrome mega break, the only Bowman Chrome break we have on the site, now remember Adrian and this is a good time for me to do a public service announcement, there's always a schedule there that you can take a look at and that'll tell you what we're doing, what we're gonna do, sometimes I'll put some filler information in there, etc, etc great resource, there's also a shipping tab there that'll tell you what the status of your break is, if we have something to ship you, hopefully it'll have things to ship you, ship to you, that's a useful resource as well, less useful is the Joe's Picks tab where I try to prognosticate some games here and see who the winners are, nice an autograph, Andrew Pintar, it's for Tim in the Diamondbacks, there you go Tim, number 29 Diamondbacks Prospect in the Hornet MLB Pipeline, first auto, I'm gonna brand in my A a Bowman first for the Yankees, that'll be for Matt, Nariss has walked a guy who the hitter forgot to forgot to forgot what the count was, it's blocked for you, I thought I had the setting, I thought a view only setting going there, try that, if everyone can see, if everyone can click that link and see if it works for you, is he safe? No they say they got him, there's Jason's brother Jackson Cheerio and another autograph, a twins auto Brooks Lee, both links work for Eric, all right thank you Eric for checking, there you go, did I not get the Dodgers in this spring, you did, what did this person get? Sorry Stacey, no you do have the Dodgers in this break, number one, I don't know how that other person's name got in there, there you go Stace, with the Dodgers, there's everybody else, onwards you're welcome, sorry about that, I'll double check the entire list after this too, just so just so I make sure everyone's correct info there, all right next box then we've got one, two, three, four, five, eight boxes left and then one more case to go, I think I think we're about 25 minutes into this rig, yeah I think this is about an hour long break, give or take, I'm going to open two boxes at a time in the next case, I might be a little quicker too, all right so all cards shipped, you'll get all of these but the whole point of this is trying to get some of the exclusives in here, there's another Maia and we're looking for autos in here, numbered cards in here, all that good stuff and some of these Bowman firsts, Jen, you got a Brock Bauer 95 Retro Auto 99 in the four case break, nice, there you go, classics, let's start that process now here, who do you think chooses the jerseys for game day, you think that's like you think everybody gets a vote on the team, is it players only, do coaches get input on it, is it just team captains that get to choose, I don't know if every team does captains or not but I wonder how that works, do you think it's just equipment staff, they just they get to decide, there you go, you guys are wearing this today, you think players don't care, they just equipment staff hangs up the jerseys and they'll just say all right this is what I'm wearing today, all right, yeah I don't know that could be possible, that's how it was when you were playing sports, on the professional level, there's a Gabriel Gonzalez Bowman Chrome Autograph, nice, that's going to be for Seattle, that'll be for Dustin, Dustin you'll get the Celestine as well, oh not on the professional level, so I'm sure there might be some slight differences on the pro level though, nice, iconic blue Corbin Carroll, that's for Tim and the Diamondbacks, it's out of 150 I think, yeah 118 out of 150, nice, although now I remember a time, I don't know how much, remember when Chris Sale was with the White Sox, who openly talked about how he hated one of the alternate jerseys that the White Sox had, that they were forced to wear, maybe regular season, post season has to be different right, that has to be maybe regular season, you might not have as much of a choice, you have to you have deals with the manufacturers and the manufacturer says you got to wear this once every two weeks or something like that, doesn't matter what day but you got to work into the rotation, oh nice Jan, you got a White Sox auto Chris Sale, well that I think that's regulated by Major League Baseball, I don't think they're going to allow everyone to wear different jerseys, like one wearing the home jersey, one wearing the away jersey, one wearing some alternate jersey, one wearing a city connect jersey, visually that would look terrible on TV, that's right there's the story, took your cookie saying Chris Sale didn't like the evening so much that he cut up a bunch of them in the locker room so the team couldn't wear them, just red ass Chris Sale, he's just like uh-uh, they're dumb, but I don't know how, someone needs to, we need an investigative reporter on this, maybe there are manufacturer deals like with Nike because the jerseys right, maybe there's a deal that says hey you got to wear that city connect jersey at least once in every round of the playoffs or something like that, they got to sell jerseys right, we got some Riley Greene iconic, Tigers that's going to be for Nancy, Morduno for the Reds that will be for Dustin and the final four boxes of this case and then we'll rip another case ladies and gentlemen, we already had the 33 minute mark so maybe this will take a little over an hour, I've never ripped any of these mega boxes so a little iffy on the timing but I'll update the schedule, I'll update the schedule when I'm done with this break, that's right Rex, they are playing like they mean it, they always seem to get hot at the right, they did this last year too, they always seem to get hot at the right time, I'm seeing a lot of orders but not a lot of orders for the fillers for the new releases, I guess nobody's interested in new releases today, we still have 20 left, we're holding at 20 in the prism baseball hobby pack break which gives away teams in select baseball, we're at 29 in the update dual case filler, both of those are only 27.99 a spot, chance to win and then only 30, only two spots gone in the Bowman University football filler, that's 16.99 a spot, I thought that'd be flying off the shelves but we'll go through some orders after this in about another 30-40 minutes and then we'll see what direction people want to, what direction people are going in Yeah, thanks Duncan, thanks, I guess I'll flip over to that game, I guess I'll keep a ESPN gamecast open for the Astros Twins game, let's see if Carlos Crea exactly revenge upon his former team, all right so we've got some blue for the Blue Jays, here's an iconic Mike Trout, maybe some ink for him James, we're looking for that, this is for James and the Angels, got another Maia for the Yankees, Matt Smith and an Adrian Pinto, that's going to go to Nancy and the Bluebirds, 66 out of 150 on that one Nance, final two boxes of case one and then it's a dual case break, another two to go, those are the Mega Packs and here are the regular packs, good luck, South Park really new trailer today for these, but what's the special about, what's special about this special, we've turned carbon and butters and Kenny into older women, interesting, nice one two three for my Dodgers, now this frame is where it's going to be important, can Lance Lynn turn in a decent performance here, save the Dodgers season, ooh is that some gold, I think I saw some gold, that is some gold or maybe that's yellow to 75, we'll find out, got some purple here and that's going to be Gabriel Gonzalez, 125 out of 299, purple parallel going to Dustin and Seattle, these guys, not their bowman first all-card ship, but there's two players that should be, could be Stars of the Future, is a yellow parallel to 75, that's Braylor Guerrero, 10 out of 75, that's Ken Griffey Jr. commercial, Geico commercial cracks me up, Tampa Bay Rays that'll be for Harry in the race, all right, case one done, case two coming at you, camera back, give myself some room here, these boxes all the way back there, open a second box here as well, that's the one, that's the one, that's right, case two, we've got to check Kike's playing center tonight, oh that's right, I did hear that, all right interesting, some orange, it's getting a nice little bit of color there, all right Lance Lynn, I don't remember the last time the Dodgers have not given enough any runs in the first inning, I want to reveal the orange too early, that's the orange right there, you can still see this on the top camera, don't be aware of that ghost up there, and we've got an autograph, that's Gavin Cross, that's for David M and Kansas City, nice, number 72 prospect overall, not just in his organization, all the baseball, that's good, long as you're a top 100 prospect, I like seeing that, there's Jason Churio, to 2.99, Cleveland this is for you, that's Chris Parent with Cleveland, orange behind Adrienne Pinto is Yasser Mercedes, yass, 16 out of 25, ready for the twins who are still down a run, but they're running out of outs, they're down to the, down to, they're down to six outs, took your cookies saying Cross is a stud, hopefully it makes it to the show next year, yeah I feel like, you know, I know that Royals are rebuilding, but they've got some decent youngsters in the pipeline, so their, their return to success maybe sooner rather than later, mega packs, those the regular packs, oh boy, Diamondbacks fans at this bar, they've got, they've brought the brooms out of their closets, good luck Aang, another two boxes, this is just the, just the base, but the action is, is that stack right there, so let me just flip through these really quick, all card ship though, so you'll get all those rookie cards, that's where your Bowman firsts are, the most part, and behind Jackson Churio is Jesus Galiz, 260 out of 299 for Stacy in the Dodgers, nice iconic mega chrome parallel, Francisco Alvarez, Rennie with the Mets, not number, but in that exclusive parallel, love the look of that iconic insert, where Quinn's game going into the bottom of the 8th, Twins are only down a run, they're trying to stay alive, Astros lead that series 2-1, my Dodger trying to stay alive, they're trying to avoid a sweep, your mega chrome cards, the Mojo refractors, nice Ethan Salas, I was wondering where that guy was, Rainer Arias is pretty solid too, and there's Jadair Arinamo, 48 out of 99, Brewers, Dustin with the Brew Crew, Tristan has the Giants, Arias is one of the, I think it's Arias right, he's one of the bigger names, bigger prospect names, yeah your number in 15 international prospect in that class, Ethan Salas is a huge name, Harry with the Padres, we've probably got to find more of this guy Harry, it's a start, another two, Jennifer Garner owns a once upon a four, what is once upon a five, another Ethan Salas, I'm gonna start looking for some color, another Ethan Salas, there they are, there they are, here we go, with these, there's one of the Ethan Salas's that we saw, Harry's happy about that, got to try to add some more here to the pile, there's another Arias right there for Tristan and the Giants, and there's an autograph, Joe Lamp, where do you think it's Lampy, Chris with Cleveland, Cleveland this is for you, Northern California, number 29 Guardians prospect, that was terrifying, whenever Lancelin gives up a long fly ball, baseball reference, do you have a pronunciation guide for me, no, don't know, I'm gonna go Lamp, all right there is an Ethan Salas, another one for Harry and the Pirates, Purple Chrome, 196 out of 299, Edwin Rodriguez, E-Rod, Dustin S. Seattle, did you get him, wow what a recovery, there you go Max, Lancelin is wearing a, usually I don't really associate, I'm not good with like athletes and what number they wear, like some of my friends are really good at that, they're like oh yeah, number 27, like so-and-so, I'm like what, who really, yeah the gate code is Antonio Gates, Michael Jordan, and they're like what, I don't know that, but 35 I do associate with Cody Bellinger and Lancelin is now wearing Cody Bellinger's number 35, so from like the back, you're kind of like, you know, and they have very different body types, so it's, so it's kind of, it's kind of funny at first glance, like wait, oh right, all right, twins have not scored any runs in the bottom of the eighth, they're going into the top of the ninth, they're gonna try to prevent the Astros from adding on runs and they're gonna look to walk it off, or at least tie it, the bottom of the ninth in Minnesota, and we got an iconic Corbin Carroll for Tim and the Dynabax, second one, and we got a D'Angelo Sarmiento, that's goal, 35 out of 50, nice one for Renny and the New York Mets, you know, among the headliners of the Mets international signing class, our mark looks like this is an hour and a half break, and I was, I was thinking hour, but no, thought wrong, this is where Lancelin gets in trouble, he puts some runners on, put some runners on and then gives up the home run, the solo shots, you can live with solo shots, and also I feel like the daughters have not been very good, closing now innings, two outs, but now two singles in a row, keep it in the ballpark, Lance, we've got a Celestine, a Felneen Celestine for Dustin and Seattle, number two prospect in that international signing class, nice pitch, Lance, there's a Davis and De Los Santos for Tim and the Snakes, that's a 117 out of 299, nice good strike out, Lance Lynn's fired up, good job, all right Dodger's offense, wake up, eight boxes to go, the Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo commercials, what do we think about those, I think that Buffalo is kind of funny, I'm kind of liking it, pole star, are we into that, are we into pole star, electric vehicle, whose project is that, is that a pole star Volvo, Volkswagen, or independent, are they solo? All right, there's another Celestine for Dustin and the Mariners, other two boxes down, another two boxes coming up, almost there, definitely took a lot longer than I thought this was going to be, it was an hour and a half break instead of an hour, but thanks for hanging with me ladies and gentlemen, thanks for watching, thanks for joining the break, we've got another double header loaded up, I don't know if we hustle, we might be able to get another one of these in the books tonight, now that I have a better idea of what our timing is going to be on that, all right there you go Kikei, Kikei single, we want to be starting something here, how do we feel about managers getting interviewed in the middle of the game, is that not a distraction or is that just part of the game now, we'll have to get used to it, get interviewed players too, I don't know if I like that, oh that double play is not what we need, costus iconic, and we've got a louis serna, bowman first gold, 541, that is 41, it can't be 51 out of 50, 41 out of 50, that's going to be for Matt and the Yankees, 41 out of 50, and the tristan costus, and an autograph, Henry Bol, nice, that's an interesting way to do it, just rip the mojo packs and then just send the other stuff evenly, I wouldn't mind that, Brad and Maiev from Matt and a tristan costus iconic blue for the diamond backs, or diamond backs for the boss and red socks, that'll be for Greg, all right and what's that for the Dodgers, that means I could flip back to the other game which is going into the bottom of the ninth, Astros at twins, Astros have recorded an out already, twins are down to their last two outs, oh Royce Lewis, Royce Lewis up to back, this could be exciting, oh Royce Lewis wanted that one, swings through from 96 miles per hour of heat, Ryan Presley, Royce Lewis, come on Royce, yeah he definitely did, he's just got to say I think he's just encountered a lot of injuries for us because he can stay healthy, that's why he could be a superstar in this league, oh win the dirt, trying to get him to swing after that, one and two of the count now, I think we got some magenta on the bottom, it's the first one of those and some blue, looking like some nice color right there, Ethan Salas autograph and Royce Lewis won into the count, no it takes another ball in the dirt, two and two, there's the Ethan Salas, Harry with the Padres, I'm sure was getting a little nervous as we got to the final two boxes and James is thinking that's the image variation auto so even better, there you go Harry, thanks for getting in, we got a blue Luis Torres, that's for the Angels, that's for James, three and two to the count, to Royce Lewis, strikes out on a curve ball, James has 36 out of 150 on that one and then we've got a Jackson Merrill, also for Harry, another solid prospect here, not his bowman first but this is numbered, 58 out of 199, 19th best prospect just in all baseball, not just the organization, entire MLB, all right final two, Max Kepler is the last, could be the last batter, twins just have one out left, twins are down a run in Minnesota, oh no, two per domo right, okay great, all right final two boxes, all right we got three and one to Kepler, if he can get on, who's hitting behind Max, oh is that Correa, wow that would be a moment, all right now it's three and two, if Kepler can get on and bring up Carl's Correa, former Astro, if Kepler has to get on first, give Correa a chance, wow he rang him up, I think that was a strike though, that was dotted, I mean that was in a perfect spot, Astros advanced to the CS, they're gonna face the Rangers, that should be a good series, divisional rivals, flip back to my Dodgers, Lance Lynn gave up a solo shot to draw a per domo of all people, but I'm okay with solo shots for now, oh no and Kettle Marte hits a solo shot, I guess that's still, it's just solo, it's only two nothing, that's okay, it's still okay, jeez 428 feet, all right there's another Rainer Arias for the Giants, yeah Dodgers bats do have to wake up, I did not think the, I knew the starting pitching was gonna be a challenge, but just did not, I mean the bats going this cold, nice Oswald Paraza, not Oswaldo, this is Oswald Paraza, Bowman Ascensions in the Mega Mojo Parallel, nice one from Matt and the Yankees, about one per case it looks like, and that my friends is that, we are done, hour 17 in 30 seconds, thanks for sticking with me here and took a little bit longer than I thought, but I appreciate everybody getting in, here's a quick little recap that Ethan Salas was nice, got some nice colors, some nice prospects, some nice people, oh thank you James, I definitely forgot about it, so I appreciate you reminding me about that, two being given away here, so still have a chance, if you did not do well in this break, don't worry, you still got a chance at those playoff promo spots, two of them being given away in this one, all right so let's flip back to the list, there's your quick recap, let's flip back to the list over here, let's gather everybody's names, Tim down to Mark and everyone in between, new dice, new list, and let's roll it and randomize it, six and a four, ten times, actually you know what I'm gonna do, no we'll do it with names, six and a four, ten times, top two after ten, where is that again, just want to make sure yeah, two right, top two after ten, six and a four, good luck, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and fingers cross tenth and final time, so from three on down, sad times, three through thirty, thanks for giving it a shot, Chris very close but no cigar, we do have to do a lot of these, there's like 30 promo breaks so we're not even a third of the way through giving away all those spots so keep trying folks, all right and congrats to the top two, Mark and Jeremy Port, congrats to the both of you after ten, you're in the top two, Lancelink gives up another solo home run, that's what he does, all right and then we'll see you next time for the next one, jaspyscasebreaks.com, there is a next one ladies and gentlemen, so if you want to do one let's get after it, jaspyscasebreaks.com, bye
