On a Chew Tuesday, the 8th, Josh with that last pod mojo, so thanks for grabbing that last team right there. Thanks everybody for getting in, for able to break this, fill it and break this straight up, no filler. There's the jumbo case, let's see what we got, kind of a lengthy break so kick back and relax and let's see what we got, empty box, you can see the stack of boxes on the top camera, see all the boxes there, we got a single box right here, three autographs per box on average. And what's going on in the baseball world today, Kyle Schorber, Alec Vaughn with back to back homers to beat the nationals, first of a double header, Phillies beat the nationals, 8-4 in Philadelphia, a lot of games in progress, middle of the 6th, Marlins in Cincinnati, Reds with a narrow 2-1 lead, bottom of the 6th in Detroit, Tigers, shutting out the twins 3-0, top of the 8th, Cardinals in Tampa Bay, they're tied at 1, end of the 4th, Astros at O's, Orioles leading 6-2, Bits are in Pittsburgh, down a run at the bottom of the 4th, end of the 4th inning, down a run 4-3, bottom of the 4th, Metz with a 1-run lead on the Cubs 2-1, Cubs playing some hot baseball, so the Royal has been playing well last week or so, they're shutting out the Red Sox right now, 3-0 top of the 4th, still a lot of game to go there. 1-1 into the 5th, Guardians with a 1-0 lead on the Blue Jays and Cleveland, 2nd game of the double header, top of the 4th, Phillies with an early 1-0 lead, Rockies at Brewers just started, is that Drew Waters in the home home, you might see some Drew Waters in this set here, and Yankees at White Sox, that game just started, and my Dodgers don't play until a little bit later, they're in Arizona. Alright, good luck everybody, here we go, pick your team 18, let's breeze through these, 3 autos a box, I'll do an autograph recap in the end, I love how you use the LDS, makes use of that canvas, love to see it, that'll be for Aaron and the O's, former Dodgers prospect, some of these can be numbered, and autographed in some cases, and our next autograph, Cody Thomas, 203 out of 499, A's, Eric M with the athletics, behind Cedric Mullins is Alongo Evan Longoria, to 150, that will be for Sean Maddock, Volpe, Carroll, Akunya Jr, usually right next to each other, Akunya Jr, that MVP buyback program is coming back, is Akunya Jr your favorite, I think so, Corbin Carroll, Sean Maddock and Volpe for the Yankees, that's repeat, hopefully we'll get some parallels of those guys instead of just base, Josh Young in the mix as well, Rex has some interesting stats for us, Schwerber is tied for fourth place, having 14 multi-homer games in the lead-off spot, and there's Michael Papierski, 36 out of 50, gold wave autograph going to NKU, and the Tigers, and since 2017 is 530, he's going to tie for the most, Nolan Aaron and Paul Goldschmidt, that's what he does, that's his job right, hit homers, there's a Yoshida for Josh and the Braves, base, base Yoshida, there's an Adley Rushman, a lot of good rookies in this class, there's Mike Trout, I've heard of him, 53 out of 99 green wave autograph for the Halos, Jason with that one, is he coming back soon, he could use him, Angels could use him, right first box done, we'll recap those autos a little bit later, maybe any low numbered cards, anything 25 or less, we'll also recap as well, short prints, image variations, anything unique, a lot of other games, Giants are at Angels, brutal loss for the Angels last night, that's just kind of what their team is like, my Dodgers are in Arizona, Padres are hosting the Mariners, I think the Mariners have been kind of playing some hot baseball lately, and Rangers are in Oakland, well yeah that's the problem with Shorber though, that average, sort of all or nothing, otherwise he'd probably be considered for all sorts of end of season awards, and Shorber right there, he's got to hit 300 for sure, how many years is he into his career, you know, you're something interesting, you know that those MVP buybacks, does Freddie Freeman have a chance, I mean if you break down the numbers, I know Acunia has definitely more steals than Freddie Freeman, but this could be interesting, Jason with the Dodgers, you know, if Acunia Jr. slips a little bit, and Freddie Freeman continues his hot season, is there a chance, there's a chance that Freddie Freeman wins MVP, Otani for sure is gonna win the AL MVP I would think, right so when was his first full season, 2017, and there's Josh Lester, rookie autograph of the Tigers in Ku, we got Alexis Diaz, Goldway 47 out of 50, so he has 200, do the math for us Rex, what's 227 home runs divided by, divided by 7, Ainsinger saying Cubs are gonna win the division, 32 homers, 7 seasons, I mean let's say he plays another 7 seasons, another 227 home runs, I mean what's 227, that's over, that's 450 homers, there's the back of the baseball card, I mean he's got to have a couple of these kind of seasons, those sort of 40, if he kind of punctuates his averages with a big one, big season here or there, I mean he might get 500, you know thankfully with the DH, you know he doesn't, he's gonna be DHing most of the time, so he's not gonna risk injury in the field, there's McCutcheon to 199, 30 years old, so let's say, yeah I'm thinking, I don't know of 10 years at that production, but maybe six more years and he probably played another 10 seasons, but at the level he's at now, wait what am I doing here, is that our third autograph, there's only one autograph, I think there's only one auto in that box, here's the first three, I don't think we got any, it's a bummer, maybe we'll get a bonus auto in another box, alright I'm not going, I'm not going crazy right, no because I remember all these cards, I wouldn't have missed an autograph, they're pretty obvious, now I remember that Oscar Gonzalez for Fractor, I remember that Devers prison, yeah it happens sometimes folks, but maybe we'll get a fourth auto in another box, that's why these, that's why it's good to do these full case breaks, the case gives us a chance to make up for it, ah trivia time, Rex has got some trivia for us, name the seven players in the five-in-one home run club that have not been elected to the Hall of Fame, three of them are super easy, I say Dave Kingman, Dave Kingman, now there's a good one, Dano, Arod, yeah, does Paul Canerco have five-in-one? No, not Kingman, Miguel Cabrera, does he have five-in-one? Oh, Bonds, yeah. Now, right, Mark McGuire, Sosa, Pujols, and there's an Adley Rushman, that's an image variation, a short print, and 37 out of 50 gold speckles, nice one for the Orioles, Aaron Billingsley with the O's, nice looking real sharp there, you can see the different numbers on the back right there, David Ortiz is in the Hall of Fame, Pujols doesn't have 500 home runs, Manny Ramirez maybe, Pantsman is saying, Manny Ramirez is one, Paul Merrow, Rafael Paul Merrow, you've got a Brian Servant autograph, 220 out of 499 for the Rocks, that's for Mark N for the Rockies, yes on Paul Merrow, one more, now Tomei I think is in, isn't Tomei in? I think Jim Tomei's in, the Hall of Fame, and Sandy Alcantara, 32 out of 99, Freddie Freeman, outside chance, he might be in MVP, so it'd be good for the buyback, the buyback program, Juan Gonzalez, does he have 500 home runs? I think Eddie Murray's in the Hall of Fame too, no? Eddie Murray's got to be in the Hall of Fame. We're talking five players that are not, who have 500 plus home runs but not in the Hall of Fame, this is the question, we got E. Guy Rosario, 145 out of 150, Blue Ray Wave autograph, play for the Dodgers, Yankees and Padres, it has over 500 home runs but is not in the Hall of Fame, there's Yachty the 350 and our third autograph is Freddie Tarnak to 150, Winfield's in the Hall of Fame though, so it can't be Dave Winfield, that's Eric M with the A's, a 500 plus home run hitter, played for 18 including the Dodgers, Yankees and Padres but not in the Hall of Fame, excuse me, not in the Hall of Fame, he's currently a sports agent, a 500 Homer hitting sports agent, Dano cheated, didn't expect that one, hold off on the answer, any other guesses, this is a good trivia question, he's a nine-time all-star, a World Series champion, a silver, five-time silver slugger order and an NL batting champion and he's not in the, and has 500 plus home runs, he's not in the Hall of Fame, oh is this the oh yeah moment, I don't think David Justice has 500 home runs, I think it might be Gary Sheffield, is it Gary Sheffield, it's got to be Gary Sheffield, he played for all those teams, Gary Sheffield, I could see him being like a like like the veterans committee will put him in at some point, yeah that is a that you're right Dan, that's like oh yeah, that got a moment, he's got a quadra, good penmanship from Gary Sheffield, we got a Cal, Stevenson another Oakland A for Eric M, good value for days, they don't have like the top tier rookies, but they've got a lot of rookies on the checklist, so just just a little future value there if you're looking for that, I don't know, little Dodger Joe Bias here, Freddie Friedman, possible MVP, maybe, we got Max Samire, 220 out of 250, purple chrome autograph for the fish, Pete with the Marlins, he was a late pickup as well, it's a Spencer Steer Refractor, he's having a nice season, we've got Nolan Jones to 399, Magenta for the Rocks, that's gonna be for Mark, Dave Casey, you've got the you've got the Spencer Steer Refractor, yeah I mean I don't know if the All Stars carry as much weight as it used to maybe for Hall of Fame consideration, but 500 home runs, Silver Sloggers and all batting champion, it's a pretty good resume, but what is he missing, maybe like an MVP, maybe if he had an MVP or two, maybe that would have would have put him put him on a put him in the Hall of Fame, you know maybe he didn't have like a one singularly dominant stretch, you know maybe like a three, three to five year stretch where he was just just leading the league in all these categories, maybe he was too similar to a lot of other hitters around that time, but he's got a lifetime 292 batting average, looking at stats now, he's 2,600 hits, you know that's probably, he played another four or five seasons, might have had 3,000 to go along with those 509 home runs, there's Luis Liberato, 101 out of 199, he's got 250 stolen bases, he's swiped some bags here and there, career OPS of 907, I mean he was in top three MVP voting late in his career too, in 2003 with the brave 2004 with the Yankees, top three MVP voting, and then it was top three MVP voting early in his career with the Padres, maybe that's what it was even K, that's what I'm thinking too, that's where my brain's going, that he put up the numbers but he just didn't have that one standout season or two that maybe, you know that maybe would put him over the edge there, maybe bouncing around some teams could have hurt a little bit and we've got a Teosca Hernandez to 199, a little color match there with that Aqua, that's for the M's that will be for Michael Pete, who we lost those MVPs to, well you know what here's the problem Stephen K and everybody else, the year he was with the Braves and finished third in MVP voting, you know who finished ahead of him, guys like Barry Bonds won the MVP that year with the 9-2 war, Albert Pujols finished second with an 8-7 war, Gary Sheffield only had 6.8, you know so there are guys ahead of him, the following season in 2004 when he was with the Yankees, he finished second in MVP voting to Vlad Guerrero, senior, who was with the Angels at the time, who had a 5-6 war, Sheffield had a 4-2 war, although if you re-voted maybe each row would have won it because he had a 9-2 war and he finished seventh in MVP voting, all he did was that 372 on the season led the league, had 262 hits led the league, but yeah he just kind of got kind of got buried in that sort of sense, what about early in his career we had a top three finish in MVP voting when he was with the Padres, yeah Barry Bonds again Pittsburgh Barry Bonds was ahead of him and then Terry Pelton finished second and then it was Gary Sheffield, but those guys didn't exist that could have been three MVPs for for Sheffield throughout his career, maybe a back bag and maybe that would have changed things a little bit, I'm assuming his Hall of Fame eligibility is is it done? 2345678, 2023 was his last was his nine years, how many years do you get? 123456789, yeah so he had 55% of the vote in 2023, which obviously did not get in anyone off the top of their head, there's Nelson Velazquez, rookie Otto for the Cubs that'll be for Eric Christensen, that is for the Cubs once again Michael Harris, the second refractor for the Braves, Tyler is it ten years of voting, how many does he get one more year maybe, we got a Jermaine Palacios 89 out of 499, that'll be for the Tigers in Coupe with Detroit, Ed Matt Olson two out of five, Tyler Zuckerman with the Braves, congrats out of fives and under get the world famous, all aboard the Big Hit Express, whoo-hoo, I should be expecting one more autograph out of here, on average there's Tyler, congrats, I've heard of Olson, he's pretty good and we've got a Luis Lebrato 199 out of 250 purple chrome autograph for the Friars marked with the Padres, Nolan Gorman rookie refractor for the Cardinals that'll be for Alex, Volpe, Carroll, Acuna Jr., is the pattern most boxes, Seymour's beyond Cedric Mullins, got a Ryan Nelson photo negative for the Diamond Bax, that'll be for Sean Mattet, three boxes to go, hey, we'll take it right, out of five, red parallel, not so bad, and what's up, went to your LCS, picked us from Goodwin champions and got a painted card of a what, a Garenuck and a National Park Relic of Sand Cave, and you can tuck it, I do like those National Park Relics though, but I don't know what a Garenuck is, that sounds like a, sounds like a, some sort of creature in Star Wars, Garenix, I hate Garenix, Garenix, why did it have to be Garenix, imagine Han Solo saying that, Garenix, why did it have to be Garenix, hate these guys, a little mail day for Duncan in Australia, a little jazzy box on the desk, excellent, I'm assuming that, I'm assuming that Shoei Otani will win the MVP in the AL, is the NL race closer than we think, there's Michael Toglio 237 out of 299, I see Dano, thank you, the Garenuck also known as the Giraffe Gazelle is a long-necked medium-sized antelope found in parts of East Africa, sounds delicious, wait can we eat them, three horns never play with long necks, what's that from, remember that movie, there you go Jan, good one, the land before time, classic, there you go Michael's got it as well, Josh Young reveals this guy, you got it, Rosario, Sequel's not, not, not good at all, I mean, Bluth had quite a run with those animated features back in the day, all right, there's Oscar Gonzalez, gold wave to 50, yeah, I mean that's that's kind of what I wanted to debate, is Ronald Acuna, I think Vegas has Ronald Acuna Jr. as the runaway favorite for NL MVP, but if I just sort by winds above replacement war, Ronald Acuna Jr. is a 5'6 war, Hassan Kim has a 5'6 war, and then Betts and Freeman are tied at 5'2, race feels a lot closer than I thought, I don't know Hassan Kim's gonna actually get MVP, though it's not be interesting though, but if you just go by counting stats, you know, Freddie Freeman has a few more hits than Ronald Acuna Jr. Freddie Freeman has a slightly better average, 0.001 better than Acuna Jr. Freddie Freeman has has almost 11 more doubles than Acuna Jr. Freddie Freeman, I don't know if he has a lot of triples, he doesn't, not like he has a lot of wheels, but Acuna Jr. has two triples, Freeman also has two triples, they got the same amount of triples, right? Ronald Acuna has 25 home runs, Freddie Freeman has 23 home runs, Freddie Freeman has 80 RBIs, Acuna Jr. has 67 RBIs, you know, Acuna Jr. 58 walks, Freddie Freeman 52 walks, Acuna Jr. has, the stolen bases might be the difference maker, he has 53 stolen bases, but Freddie Freeman still has, like, what, 20 some odd stolen bases, 16 stolen bases which is good for him and he's percentage points ahead of Acuna Jr. in OPS. It's interesting, I mean, I think that race might be a little bit closer than we think. Here's Michael Tolia for the Rockies, Mark, what do we think? Yeah, Freddie Freeman has been having a nice year, still a couple months left, but do they factor in significance of the hits in the voting, like number, yeah, I mean, they might have to, you know, with how close this race is getting, this MVP race is getting, at least statistically, they might start having to think, how else do you split hairs? Is it just going to be stolen bases? Is that what's going to keep the edge for Acuna Jr.? Maybe. Ooh, some orange coming up, orange wave, Michael Harris the second rookie, Michael Harris the second, 13 out of 25, there you go, Tyler. Maybe this was the guy you were looking for? Couple nice parallels, all right, two more to go, but I think that'll be a fun race to watch down the stretch. Mookie Betts might get some votes too, but I think he'd have to really heat up in order to maybe, oh, I don't know, maybe Freeman and Betts may end up splitting votes for baseball riders and then that might give Acuna the edge. That might be pretty close. See, in case anything, Omaha Steak is giving 12 free Garenburgers to get one of their featured summer specials. I'll try it. It's got to be like venison, right? You ever see that video from the 85 Braves Mexicans with the bottom, the 18th picture, Rick Camp in the game time? No. It's a random reference, Rick Camp. Ryan Boone saying being able to turn all of your singles and doubles by stealing bases is a pretty big deal. True, true. Ryan would be interested in both of their runners and scoring position averages. I got you, Ryan. Let's go. Let's go. Freddie Freeman splits 2023. Oh no, I can't find it fast enough. Leading off and ending, bases occupied, clutch stats. I don't know, I'll have to look that up later. Here, there's the Freddie Freeman page. And then someone looked to find runners in scoring position. The Buck Wilde kind of said, yeah, that's the fun part of Major League Baseball. It definitely, especially the people that are really into it, definitely captures a certain kind of fan. You got to like the numbers. You got to like these weird stats. All right, we got another E. Guy Rosario, 11 out of 150. Seth's saying website gone now too, huh, Joe? This web, jaskyscasebreaks.com, still here. Is the website down? Is that what you're saying, Seth? Spencer Steer Prism? No? Casebreaks.com, still up. Website is here. Is here. Has been here. Are you going to the wrong site, Seth? jaskyscasebreaks.com. I'm looking at it. Yeah, try again, Seth. That might be something on your end. Here is Matt Wallner, rookie auto for the twins. Ryan, boom. There you go, Ryan on the board. Maybe a run on some twins here to close things out. Let's see, talking up Freddie Freeman. Here he is to 150. Dodgers, Jason with the Dodgers, 131 out of 150. Might have an outside chance. Might have an outside chance at the MVP. Yeah, little color match as well. Blue parallel for the boys in blue. Volpe, Carroll, Acunha Jr., is the pattern most of the time. Anyone else having issues with the website? By the way, no one else is anything, Seth. I think jaskyscasebreaks.com working just fine. I'm seeing orders coming into right. If he wins the MVP, yeah, potential $200 buyback situation of participating hobby shops. Topps is bringing back their MVP promo. In fact, we can see some of those last year's MVP cards, buyback cards in this set. Really short printed though. Palacios for the Tigers, another Tiger for Incu. Ah, interesting. Freddie Freeman, runners in scoring position 381, Acunha Jr., 316. We both really good, but I think as this MVP race comes down to the finish, we're going to have to split hairs like that, I think. It can be only one winner. It might just take one slump from either player, one short little slump from either player that'll make the difference. Or like Duncan was saying earlier, maybe a clutch homer or two or some sort of clutch play or something like that. That might be the difference. Anyway, I think in terms of individual award, I think that's going to be a fun story lying to follow in the NL. There's SUA Ruiz, the Speedster, the 350 for the A's, Eric. Got another Adley Russian there. Final box. When are my Dodgers playing again? They're in Arizona tonight. I think Chris Jaspy's at that game. They started at 640, so. Oh, perfect right now. Watch the beginning of the game and I'm taking a quick little break. Once again, we got another jumbo case loaded up in the store, ladies and gentlemen. And only three left in the hobby dual case spray. That could be a perfect one after I'm refueled and re-energized from my dinner break. We can dive into a two hobby case spray. I feel like, I don't know, maybe it's just me. Maybe I don't have the proper perspective, but does it feel like, here's Josh Lester, rookie autograph. Does it feel like 2023 Top's Chrome has been a lot more popular than 2022 Top's Chrome Baseball? Maybe there's just more rookies to chase in this set. Maybe the MVP buyback possibility also helps. Maybe it's because we got guys like Corbin Carroll and Anthony Volpe to chase. Oh, and the short print rookies were missing last. Here's a refractor, Josh Young. That's nice. That's going to go to Tristan and the Rangers. Yeah, I think that's what Griz was talking about. Yeah, that probably did it. That's coming back to me now. Well, it's certainly been hot here at Jaspies. Not only have we been moving group breaks of this pretty constantly and consistently, we've been selling a lot of it from the shot level as well, so a lot of the locals still buying Top's Chrome Baseball. Here's another Josh Lester to $4.99. And who's happy though? You got the base, now you got the refractor. One more auto to go. Here's another rushman. It's Chris Sale to $3.99. And Bo Jackson is our ultraviolet All-Stars. Nice. Royals, Brandon with Kansas City. This guy knows. Love the look of the ultraviolet All-Stars. And we've got an orange wave, Oscar Gonzalez, 19 out of 25, Ryan Boone with the Guardians. Cleveland, this is for you. Go, Ryan. Not another tiger here. There you go. We've got a Yoshida refractor. That's for the Red Sox, Josh. I think we have another numbered card maybe to close it out. Oh, there's a green down there somewhere. Wait for it. And it's a Green Trey Turner. 25 out of 99 for the Fightin' Fills Dano with the Phillies. And there you go, ladies and gentlemen. A full eight-box break, Top's Chrome Baseball. We've got another jumbo case in the store loaded up right now if you want to get on it. Here's a quick little recap. Thanks everybody for watching and for breaking with us. The Adley-Rushman image variation, short print was pretty awesome. The out-of-five, Matt Olson was sweet and loved the ultraviolet All-Stars right there. There you go, gang. I'm Joe for JasviesCaseRakes.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us and we'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
