So for 10 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,400 you, what, uh, what's kind of the top of the heat when 11 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,319 all these four sports are going on at the same time. I've enjoyed baseball 12 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,319 right now, World Series Game one and with the always Garcio with the walk 13 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,599 off home run to put the Rangers on top. I thought the diving Backs 14 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:33,400 had that game locked up Steeger ties it up, but then Garcio with the 15 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,239 walkoff and XT ratings. That was a good game. Yeah, no, 16 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,920 I haven't. I'm just getting over the you know, I'm a Phillies fans, 17 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,400 so just getting over the Yeah, the diving, they're collapse. So 18 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,120 but yeah, and then to see that, I was like, wow, 19 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,519 man, that was that was good man, Like you just like to see 20 00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,719 good games, and it was it was nice to see uh Garcia, you 21 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:59,079 know with the walk off and right now Rangers are up one nothing I means 22 00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:01,319 always Garcia. Man, he's a stud like you who he's a good player. 23 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:07,319 But this postseason, man, he's been putting up some crazy whole runs, 24 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,240 some crazy clutch hol rounds. Yeah, that's the thing to it, 25 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,719 Like not only is he hitting home runs, but they're in big spots, 26 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240 so you know, it adds to to the whole to the whole thing. 27 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,280 And actually, so before there's something I do want to talk about with the 28 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,000 World Series, but let me get to some of these comments real quick. 29 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Philly Joe says, good morning, White Sox, White Sox. Tom says, 30 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960 hey guy, Mad City Brewers. That's exactly what I want to talk 31 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,599 about, he said, who has the Marte Tacos card? Uh Clean, 32 00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:38,080 Cheap Shots says good morning, foul File, five ball, Good morning everybody 33 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,639 words says folks, Chris C Hello all and three Bat Collection says good morning. 34 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,560 So yeah, I actually see here. Yeah, so I wanted to 35 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:53,360 ask you about the taco fractor. So basically could tell Marte stole the bass 36 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,479 last night and let me actually, i'll bring it up here on the screen. 37 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,159 Got it here for you right there. So there's our taco fractor. 38 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,000 Which hold, I'll give me one second and let me bring in who's that 39 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:13,039 Uncle Rich to see what we have to be audio only, all right, 40 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Uncle Rich? And I just tested on Microsoft Teams and camera was perfect. 41 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,599 I test. I did a zoom the other day. It was perfect. 42 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,759 There's something I don't see your face either, Tony. The only face I 43 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,759 see is Brody. All right, well we can hear you, you can 44 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400 hear us, so it's all good. Yeah, for sure, Soris come 45 00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:36,039 on in too. The more the merrier, there you go. So so 46 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,479 let me get back to this taco fractor here, because we got we have 47 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:46,479 tacos to buy. So there it is. Basically I could tell Marte stole 48 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,520 the base yesterday, and I guess they, you know, announced that if 49 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,560 you have this taco fractor, you basically have tacos for life, which actually 50 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,120 it's only like it's like a fifteen thousand dollars value. But you gotta figure, 51 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,879 man, fifteen thousand dollars worth of tacos is a lot of tacos. 52 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840 But Brody, what do you think about this card, the promotion and all 53 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560 that stuff, And do you happen to have one? I do not have 54 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:10,960 a taco fract or to tell Marte. But I don't know if I want 55 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,240 tacos for life. Man, Like when I go through Taco Bell. It's 56 00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:19,560 a very rare occasion when I go through Taco Bell, and I'm careful for 57 00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:26,959 what I select, and whatever I select, it usually doesn't feel too great 58 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,879 afterwards. So if I get one of those every day for the rest of 59 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:35,240 my life, I don't know, man, But whoever has this, it's 60 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,839 a good value. Maybe you can sell it for a good amount. I'd 61 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,519 rather do that than have the tacos for life, because I don't know. 62 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,279 I don't know for sure rich thoughts on tacos for life. I agree with 63 00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:56,240 Brody. I think I've eaten a Taco Bell twice in the thirty two years 64 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,720 since I've moved to Texas. I don't think I ever ate there in New 65 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,959 Jersey. Ether. Let's just say that I agree with Brody, and it 66 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,160 does not do good for my stomach afterwards. So it's not exactly and I 67 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:15,399 will say to the credit they also are giving you five, two and fifty 68 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,000 dollars at part of this promotion to defray the cost of the taxes on the 69 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,759 on the gift. So they have made sure to look out for that. 70 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:30,439 That's that's what a lot of people do a really smart charity nonprofit when they 71 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,959 have a raffle to say we cover your you know, your taxes because you 72 00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:36,120 can win a car. And if you win the car and you have to 73 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,519 pay the taxes, guess how much you're going to Guess how long are you 74 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,199 going to keep the car unless you have a lot of money? Right. 75 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,160 Uh. That happened actually way back in the day when they had this, 76 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,680 when the famed Honus Wagner, the PSA eight first card graded by PSA got 77 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,639 like raffled off in a public It was like a drawing and it was like 78 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,399 on a Saturday night on the Larry King Show or something like that. And 79 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,879 it was won by this woman and she couldn't keep the card because she had 80 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,439 to pay the taxes on it. Yeah. An Upper Deck a few years 81 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,720 earlier than that had run a pro promotion. You know, we'll give you 82 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,160 like Don Drysdale's uniform, We'll give you all these uniforms. The same thing 83 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,439 happened the people who won the prizes. They had to sell them to pay 84 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,639 for the taxes on the prizes they won. So give them credit for thinking 85 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,120 that part through and paying the taxes. Yeah, that's a good point. 86 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,360 Yeah. Yeah, you often don't hear about that, so kudos to them 87 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:40,480 for that. Let me get some of these comments. So, uh seventies 88 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:43,399 Car Show said brother leshave Forever. Yeah, man, that's the only thing 89 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,279 working in Philly right now. So tacos for breakfast, Yeah, dude, 90 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,160 I mean yeah, I'm not a Yeah, I guess see, I'm not 91 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,480 a I can't even tell you the last time I was at a taco bill. 92 00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:58,439 I prefer the like authentic street tacos so over that. But uh, 93 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,360 Microsoft team is the Bobby Bonds are teleconferencing decent enough, but no one sticks 94 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:08,079 with it. So there you go. Yeah, and definitely, uh, 95 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,120 definitely a problem there with the with the taco bell stuff. Mookie si U 96 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,399 cheer, oh Ivy News Daily says, cheers and cheers, Jens and Chat. 97 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Mookie says, closing the taco taco tax sloophole is something we can all 98 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,160 get behind. That's a lot of case. So Mookie as always with the 99 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,759 fire and the chat man. So uh and there's anything else in there and 100 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,959 tagos. Yeah. So yeah. Basically this thing was a big commercial for 101 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,000 Taco Bell and people were talking about it. So I guess, I guess 102 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,399 it worked out. And remember they've been doing the Steal the World series Steal 103 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:46,800 a Taco for twenty years. They actually began this promotion in two thousand and 104 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,319 four, so this is this is a long standing thing and this just takes 105 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:57,160 it to a different level. Yeah. Yeah, always count on John Keating. 106 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,079 It says, imagine serving time for taco tax evasion that John. I 107 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,560 can't wait till I see you. See you in a few days. There 108 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,759 you go. Uh So another thing that they still owe you a card. 109 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,360 By the way, Oh look at that. Look at that broke. As 110 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,199 long as everybody somebody oways you, you'll never be broken. Man. So 111 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,360 we got the taco fractor out of the way. Now, the other thing 112 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,279 that came out this week, we actually saw the debut kind of debut images 113 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,159 of the uh the one on one rookie cards the MLB debut. I want 114 00:08:31,159 --> 00:08:37,039 to bring that up on here right there, so there we see Anthony bulpitit 115 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,080 one on one on card auto. Uh, brody. Initial thoughts on this 116 00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,639 card, What do you think prices are gonna look like? And all that 117 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,279 stuff? I mean, I think they look sharp, but I think the 118 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:54,039 design is cool. Like, but to put them in top chrome update is 119 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,320 kind of like a weird set to throw them into just because like these thick 120 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,919 patch into tops chrome. I don't know. But like the card looks great, 121 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,759 Like it's like nice white with the autograph, it looks cool. Ye. 122 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,480 And like I think prices, like with these one on ones, like 123 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,279 they should be pretty high with some of these hierarchies. I think, yeah, 124 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,879 for sure, Rich, that's a really good looking signature from a modern 125 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,279 player. They always see such a good signature. It's very true. I 126 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,519 know it's a cursive is a lost start with the younger players. Uh. 127 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,399 But actually, and Rich, before I go to you, I'm just happy 128 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,279 that they didn't, you know, I like that it's a full patch, 129 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,799 that they didn't take the patch and cut it up and try to make, 130 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,360 you know, multiple cards of it, which I mean they had announced it 131 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,200 was going to be like this a while ago. But I mean I like 132 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:48,919 that. I think it's a really sharp looking card and I I think they 133 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,679 did it right here, rich I. You know, Fanatics does some things 134 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,039 that we all sometimes shake our heads about. You know, what's that expression 135 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,960 the kids used smh. But they do a lot of things right as well 136 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,559 with tops and this is an example of they wanted to do this. You 137 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,279 know, the thing is this is going to change the hobby. That was 138 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120 the thing. I don't think it's going to change the hobby. But on 139 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,759 the other hand, this is something where Fanatics, with all their tentacles in 140 00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:22,200 the sports world, is able to do something and do it correctly and that's 141 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:26,399 to their benefits. So they do a lot of things right. I wanted 142 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,320 to talk a little about, you know, switching subjects. You know, 143 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,840 they had a big press conference in New York this week and they brought some 144 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,879 high powered athletes in and they're going to be doing a lot with the Make 145 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:45,799 a Wish Foundation. Yeah, I did have that on here, and yeah, 146 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,159 that's something where with what they can do, they do it right. 147 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:54,440 And having had one of my great nephews and thankfully he is so far he 148 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:56,960 is in remission and we hope it never comes back. But he babbled childhood 149 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,559 cancer. He's the most wonderful five you old person you ever want to meet. 150 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,919 And he got visited by a Major League baseball player when he was in 151 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,200 the hospital with his cancer. Daniel Murphy now retired again, and I saved 152 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,120 up and yes, I went through the donation, so you know, and 153 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,240 plus I would guy them in diamond quarterboxes. I found a whole bunch of 154 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,600 Daniel Murphy cards to give him. He remember he's five years old. And 155 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,120 then all of a sudden, by the by the end of his visit, 156 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,440 he goes, I want more cards. Okay, well he lies in Jacksonville'll 157 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,759 be getting Trevor Lawrence cards and things like that can make card. You know, 158 00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:39,000 everybody in the family very appreciative of fanatics. And anytime you can do 159 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,919 positive pr things, it's a good thing, you know. And I'm going 160 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,360 to use the term back in the day, pre pandemic, you know, 161 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,600 in older times, and I you know, just want to say Panini back 162 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:54,720 in the day was really good. This is when I was doing prizes and 163 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,960 stuff at my synagogue show. So this is pre pandemic so twenty nine, 164 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,159 twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty, and before they were amazing at 165 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,240 you know, legitimate helping legitimate nonprofits. And it wasn't just me because I 166 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,919 knew some of them, but they helped. They helped a lot as well 167 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,159 Fanatics. This is a wonderful thing Fanatics is doing. And the more they 168 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,000 help people, the more it helps in terms of the pr of the world 169 00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,360 and the hobbies a lot of PR. Two, Brody, you're you're you're 170 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:30,399 the official spokes You're what the official under eighteen spokesperson for the national now the 171 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,639 official you know you supposed spoke So you know what pr is. PR is 172 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,000 good? Now, Yeah, well, I mean, yeah that that's that's 173 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,279 cool man, that they're that they're doing that. I saw that, you 174 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:45,480 know, they had an experience with the sixers, so yeah, I'm sure 175 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,879 maybe someone somewhere probably has a problem with it, because you know, somebody 176 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:52,080 always has a problem with everything, But yeah, I think it's cool man 177 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,480 that they're getting it out there and making these experience for people who are going 178 00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:01,720 through some some tough times. Real quick though, back to that card Rich 179 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,639 just I mean, you've been around for a while. It is this kind 180 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:09,559 of one of the more innovative things you've seen come through the well. As 181 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,799 I said, it won't change the hobby, but it's it's something Fanatics has 182 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,559 the ability to do with all their and now that they have the relationship with 183 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,759 the contracts with the player association in the league, this is the type of 184 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,240 things that they're going to be able to do that I don't think any other 185 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,000 previous card company, including TOPS pre Fanatics would have been able to do. 186 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:37,639 And I think things you may see more I'm going to use the word more, 187 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,200 things like this. This is fair. Obviously you can only have a 188 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:48,279 major league debut patch once, but you may see other ways of honoring various 189 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,519 events, not just TOPS now not but ways of saying, hey, this 190 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,720 is, you know, every every player in the World Series. I believe 191 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:00,679 there's a World Series patch on every uniform, Am I right? I believe 192 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,720 so? Well? Could you imagine you know, next year or TOPS one. 193 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,480 I think they can still get it in. Can you imagine TOPS one 194 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:13,360 with every player with a World Series patch card? That'll be cool? Yeah, 195 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,840 I mean things like that. Can you know? It makes And the 196 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480 thing is if you put them in the products like they did Tops Chrome Update, 197 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:26,759 Tops One, you know, not not We'll call it not the expensive 198 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,759 products, but the products with the reasonable price points. It's affordable to every 199 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:37,039 collect every collective, every collector, and anything that's affordable as a shot to 200 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,120 every collector is a good thing. Yeah, very true. That's actually Chris 201 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,039 said, you know this is this is the only time most of us will 202 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,120 ever see one of those cards, dadam, and somebody pulls it and shows 203 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:52,360 it off on one of the social media's. Yeah, I mean they're gonna 204 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,519 be They're gonna be pretty pretty pricey, and hey it is what it is, 205 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,879 Uh, which rich you you may tops Now and Brody, I'll ask 206 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:07,200 you that I harken that to the when you're in the grocery store and when 207 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,960 you're gonna check out and they have those impulse items there at the end before 208 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,679 you know you leave, And is that kind of I see it like tops 209 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,799 Now like that sometimes, you know, because events happening right away, you 210 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,159 get the email the next day and it's like, hey, here's this card, 211 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,159 buy it now. Just protty all your thoughts on tops Now just as 212 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,080 a whole brand and stuff like that. I like tops Now it's like interesting 213 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:33,480 because like sometimes like my big Brenton Doyle collector, and he had a rookie 214 00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,279 card at tops now before he had any other Tops rookie, which I thought 215 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,240 was interesting, So like pretty cool. And there's like been some college basketball 216 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,519 players that have had similar stuff like that, So I think it's kind of 217 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,120 cool. It's it's interesting. I mean, I feel like it's not for 218 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,639 everybody, but you could get numbered cards too when you order, just like 219 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,240 the base cards, So I like it. I think it's cool. Yeah, 220 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,639 Rich, I have not looked to see, you know, if there 221 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,960 was any if they've sent out the daily email yet, but I bet you 222 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,840 there's an adults Garcia walk Off Homer card being made, and I bet you 223 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,639 there's going to be a lot of collectors in Dallas buying that card today, 224 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,879 right yeah, probably probably. Yeah, it's yeah, I said, it's 225 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,399 like, you know, the fact that they can use these events and put 226 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:23,679 out cards right away definitely plays on the emotions of you know, recent you 227 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120 know, seeing it and getting excited by this, uh buy this card. 228 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440 It's also a chance a lot of times, as Brodie says, to get 229 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,000 cards of people who may not be in a card yet or may not be 230 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,799 in a card in that uniform yet. You know, when Elie Dela Cruz 231 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,720 came to the majors, you know his I think there was cards of him 232 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,159 by his first week in tops Now before he ever had a rookie card or 233 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,879 any any you know, he had tops You know, he had minor league 234 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:52,559 heritage, he had pro debut, but I think that was his first major 235 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,399 league card. So you can also get a lot of really cool cards early. 236 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,960 I know last year, and I know that he's got different issues now, 237 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,680 but I think there was twenty two thousand copies of some wander Franco card 238 00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:08,000 sold last year when it was his rookie year and he had a tops Now 239 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,000 card and it sold very well, so some of them sold really well. 240 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,240 Yeah, he does Pinnini instant and I think I protected something too. So 241 00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:21,039 they all do it, and they all know to do it, and a 242 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,599 lot of times they're done in the house, so the whole process is a 243 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:30,200 lot cheaper. Gotcha. Yeah, good stuff, Drew says, back to 244 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,680 the one on one, the MLB debut patches was brilliant move by Tops fanatics. 245 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,279 Design is eh, but execution and delivery is awesome. I agree with 246 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,400 that. Yeah, yeah, you know, I like the design. It 247 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,160 was a nice, simple design. But I agree with Drew in terms of 248 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:53,720 it's been executed brilliantly. Yeah. I mean most of the reviews and just 249 00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:57,839 feedback has been pretty pretty positive all around, so they've done a good job 250 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,160 with that. White tom Ass Brudell ask you first, what about the fake 251 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,599 patches that aren't player worn inn updates series? Well, I mean that, 252 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,640 what do you think about those patches man, that aren't associated with anything? 253 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,039 I don't know how I feel about those. I feel like we're like back 254 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:21,799 to the Piniti not associated things. Uh, it's tough for me. I 255 00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:25,039 feel like, if if you're buying a hobby box, you should at least 256 00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:27,440 get something that's at least player Warren. Like if it's a rookie, should 257 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,799 be player Warren. If it's a veteran, it should be game warned. 258 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,640 But if it's player Warren, I get it, you know, especially like 259 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,279 when we were in the pandemic when stuff was player warn like, I got 260 00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:40,119 it, like it, you know, it's understood, but like mass produced 261 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,240 stuff like I don't know, and a lot of times those fake things, 262 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:48,519 it actually says commemorative. And if it says commemorative, if you know what 263 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:52,599 you're getting, yeah, yeah, I mean it's memorative. You're not getting 264 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,559 a real You're not getting a real item, So what are you worried about? 265 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:02,160 I mean, you know, if if it implies that it's, hey, 266 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,480 this is this is a real item. Okay, that's a different subject. 267 00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:08,039 But if it says, you know, a lot of times in the 268 00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:14,119 blaster boxes you get you know, you know, the one commemorative patch card 269 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,119 per blaster box, depending what it is, and it says commemorative World Series 270 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:23,680 ring or commemorative World Series patch or commemorative All Star game patch or whatever, 271 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,960 it's telling you that it's commemorative. So those are perfectly fine. Those are 272 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,559 telling you these are not a These are not the ones that are even purported 273 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,720 to be a real uniform, right right, Yeah. I mean hopefully we 274 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,759 get away from that as we get back to you know, with well deals 275 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:49,759 with fanatics and things like that, So hopefully we get back to as real 276 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:52,799 as they can be. Mike says, they're all fake anyways, with fake 277 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:59,160 patches, fake scribbles, so I mean whatever, So hopefully we can we 278 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,440 can get back to seeing a lot more game use stuff, because I mean, 279 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,160 yeah, sure, and that's what the community, the collecting community likes 280 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,519 is you know what they say is game warn stuff. So you know, 281 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,920 I don't know, Mookie says, Tony, how about some fanatic for in 282 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,440 a patch card? Uh yeah, Mookie, that would you know what, 283 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960 I'm surprised they haven't made that yet, or maybe they haven't. I just 284 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,519 didn't see it yet. But there's got I am sir. How did you 285 00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:34,440 feel in game seven? Man, you're just opening up? Was it the 286 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,759 sixth inning that they left the run around second and first? Listen? Man, 287 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,880 it was a mookie you see, MOOKI just you know, plants to 288 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,960 see it. And uh yeah, well listen, it was a total epic 289 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,680 collapse. Uh. They you had the bases loaded, they let the worst 290 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,079 hitter on the team, you know, take the at bat. So there 291 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,039 was that, you know, the runners left on base all over the place. 292 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,359 Uh going back to game four, going back to game four, you 293 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,799 have the end clos or blow it. Yeah, so back to back games. 294 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,319 Yeah that you had the manager do some stuff. You had you know, 295 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:19,319 high high priced players go over you know, so it was au so 296 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,559 yeah, Rich, it was. It was a yeah, it was a 297 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,640 rough night. So I went, I went kicking and screaming, and my 298 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,240 wife called me an idiot, and I said, why do you get so 299 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,079 upset when those guys get to go home and live their life. And I 300 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,160 was like, yeah, and I gotta get up and go to work tomorrow. 301 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,799 So so yeah, it was it wasn't good. Rich my condolences. 302 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:47,279 I mean, it's it's kind of like it's kind of like in twenty ten, 303 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,400 when I knew I was going to the World Series if the Rangers won, 304 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,720 and they're playing the Yankees, which is, you know, my hometown 305 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:57,279 team I grew up with an I'm still a Yankees fan and watching Tali Enough 306 00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:03,079 Tali police freeze pay Royd on a perfect curve ball for strike three to end 307 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,759 the American League Championship Series, and part of me is saying, oh, 308 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,839 I'm really pissed, and another part of me is saying, I'm gonna go 309 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:18,079 to the World Series. Yeah, And I'm still all these years later trying 310 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,200 to sort that one out. Yeah, it's amazing. Before we started, 311 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000 I asked, I asked Brodie. I said, I saw he had the 312 00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:27,480 the Justin Fields Jersey honest say, hey, you're a Bears fan or Justin 313 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,359 Fields fan. He say he likes the Bears and stuff, and uh, 314 00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:34,559 you know, this is this is why we collect, this is why we 315 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:38,200 do it. We spend hours watching these games. And I'm thinking, I'm 316 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,640 like, man, all this sleep I lost, and all this time I 317 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,319 wasted. But I do it again tomorrow. So yeah, at least you 318 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,759 guys have to see Cody Parky's kick and I'd be like, did it go 319 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:51,759 in? Did it not go in? And then it didn't go in and 320 00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:56,319 it's just like you had a better kicker and we would have won. No, 321 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,480 man, dude, Yeah, so it is what it is. Let 322 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,880 me get back to the Rich actually sent me this. There was another partnership. 323 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,640 I mean, Fanatics is on a role here. They did basically a 324 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:18,880 partnership with the Argentine Football Association says fans of Argentine football. Argentinian football around 325 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,480 the world will not have online access to licensed sporting goods, clothing and digital 326 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,200 assets of the Argentine national team. So here we see the web expanding even 327 00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:33,400 further. Rich, what's going on here with this stuff? Well, soccer 328 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,759 is the most popular sport in the world and going for all the different licenses, 329 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:45,240 and there are so many leagues that that's just another way for card companies. 330 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,880 It'll be another battle for the card companies. You know, remember Panini 331 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,640 has a sixty year experience in doing soccer, soccer cards, soccer items, 332 00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:00,640 soccer stickers. They've been doing them forever. Actually Tops is also way back 333 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,079 in the day they call themselves A and B C in England. But Tops 334 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,759 has actually been doing soccer cards for sixty years too, So this battle has 335 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:15,160 this is another battle that has never ended, except now it's a little more 336 00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:19,039 let's say, less friendly. But you know, hey, every every card 337 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,319 company is going to look to get every league they can. And as long 338 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,079 as you do the negotiations, you know, legally and upfront, that's no 339 00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:30,279 issue that Hey, if they come up with a better deal, they'll get 340 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:34,559 the license. So good for Fanatics. And you know if Panini wan of 341 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:38,440 them and their offer wasn't as good, then that's what it is, gotcha. 342 00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:44,480 But I don't remember Panini having argent Argentinian league, so good for Fanatics 343 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,839 coming up with another league to get cards from. Fair enough. Let me 344 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,319 bring in somebody from the bullpen here. True, what's going on the alarm 345 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,559 goes off right as we come in. What's up all as well? Sarah 346 00:24:56,599 --> 00:25:02,720 all is Well, So, I don't know if you heard anything with the 347 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,720 Argentinian football stuff, well soccer as we called it over here. Yeah, 348 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:10,880 I have anything on thoughts on that. Oh no, absolutely, I'm an. 349 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,480 I mean, anyone who knows me knows I love soccer. I've been 350 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:18,599 on the soccer collecting bandwagon for a long time now, and I expected this. 351 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,359 I expected these leagues. I expect a lot of those leagues you saw 352 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,559 Pinninia with the euro League, You're seeing the Australian League now, a lot 353 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:30,240 of these leagues that other players have been going to. I guarantee you that 354 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,319 Saudi League, that basketball that's pulling a ton of people over is going to 355 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,559 end up getting a license eventually as well, just by the name recognition. 356 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,000 I think, you know, I think as the hobby expands, they you 357 00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:47,279 know, you're not gonna see fifty releases for this stuff, but you're gonna 358 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:51,119 get your releases like NIP and Baseball League did with tops back in the day 359 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,559 that for some reason they didn't keep up with that. Well, but I 360 00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:59,160 love it. I think it's great. I think it's the more, the 361 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,759 more types of cards you can have, the better. I mean, some 362 00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:04,960 of these guys from these leagues are going to go on to do big things 363 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,400 and to be able to have that first card, have those cards out there. 364 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,000 I think it's awesome. Okay he said the more than marry a right. 365 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,720 Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. You mentioned the other leagues too. Oh 366 00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:21,880 go ahead, Rich, No, that wasn't No, that's fine, No, 367 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000 I did. I did want to. I was. I heard you 368 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:30,200 guys talking real quick about the about the tops the tops update stuff and the 369 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,799 player patches and all that stuff. Yeah, the comment that I made on 370 00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:38,279 the execution everything, I thought that the first patches were awesome. The only 371 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,920 thing that I didn't like is that they were an update. That they're an 372 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,319 update Chrome and not in update. I thought that they should have changed that 373 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,079 probably. But one thing I don't like, and you kind of mentioned that 374 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,839 as Fanatics has that relationship with players, we're going to get less game warn 375 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:02,279 stuff or less non player Warren stuff and a lot more game used stuff and 376 00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:07,079 things like that. But there's a flip side to that, and you're seeing 377 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,319 it already with Fanatics announcing there's literally MLB Authenticate I don't want to go too 378 00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:18,240 deep on this, as I did on my show last week, but there's 379 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,720 literally a new line out that is MLB authenticated with the hologram on them from 380 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:30,279 the first jersey that was produced off the line for mass consumption, not for 381 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,079 the player to wear, not have anything to do with anything outside of the 382 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:41,039 first jersey produced for merchandise, and so I think you're actually going to see 383 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,920 a lot more in the relic side of things like that from Fanatics, which 384 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,440 I don't understand why they did it to begin with, but I think you're 385 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,759 going to see that type of stuff as well. The update stuff those game 386 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,599 use patches that they can put in awesome, and I hope the relationship with 387 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,480 players allows them to do a lot more with that. But keep in mind 388 00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:07,759 they're also a massive jersey manufacturing company, and you're already seeing MLB authenticated stuff 389 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,720 that literally tells you where it would normally send you and tell you what game 390 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:15,160 it's from. Now you have it telling you this is a jersey that was 391 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,119 the first off the line for production. So there, you know, it's 392 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,920 a double edged sword there with Fanatics. Yeah, yeah, I know that 393 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,240 that was a little weird. Brody up front that it's not a real item. 394 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,119 I don't have a real problem with that. I don't have a problem 395 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,440 with it. I just you know, there's a difference between and I'm going 396 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,200 to use the term because you know, and I can talk about something about 397 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:44,480 where I work at com C This weekly made an announcement that if a card 398 00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:48,799 is slabbed authentic alter, we will we will now accept it because at that 399 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,680 point there is no attempt to deceive a customer. Right the card is slabbed 400 00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:59,079 authentic altered. You know, you're getting a plague with card where we're still 401 00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:03,240 going to draw the line and rightly so if somebody sends in a card that 402 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,559 was altered and then it comes back no, then then then that's a different 403 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:11,119 subject. Yeah. No, I agree, I was that. I wasn't 404 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:17,519 necessarily saying that I don't have a problem with that, and that's why that's 405 00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,039 why as almost it's announced, Hey, this is first off the line. 406 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:23,839 This is you know, this is a first day. Yeah, you know 407 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,759 their premier date the cramer that my cramer used for specific you know, or 408 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:33,279 some term like that. It's fine. No, I agree, I wasn't 409 00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,599 saying there was a problem with it. I was. I just heard the 410 00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:41,599 comment of you know, getting away from uh non game used you know, 411 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:45,039 player Warren stuff, and I think I think you might see a lot more 412 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:49,599 of that just every day, just running the middle type of stuff because of 413 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,920 what the company is. But just the comment that I heard that I wanted 414 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,880 to uh that I wanted to touch on real quack. No, I'm with 415 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000 you, Drew, that could there can always be. There's always a possibility 416 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,960 downside to everything, right, And I think that's what you're saying. Yeap 417 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:10,000 Brody has some thoughts on the Jersey stuff. I if I could tell you 418 00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:15,000 that there's anything I knew about soccer, I would be lying. It's fair 419 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,039 about five players, And to be honest with you, I don't know if 420 00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:26,640 I could name them right now what they two said, just go with them, 421 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,640 go back five minutes and just you know what I will say. I 422 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,119 will say the it ties in great with your first topic of the day or 423 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,759 one of your first topics of the day with tops now, because soccer and 424 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:45,640 tops now that was a while a lot of people were chasing prism and stuff 425 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,400 like that. That was a money making opportunity and a half when they first 426 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,480 came out with it that Anthony the Instant. Both of them were just there 427 00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:59,440 were so low print runs on massive players like Jude Bellingham, irlin Holland people 428 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,880 like that. But the tops Now when it comes to soccer is huge and 429 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:10,000 so and same with Panninian Instant and so if they do that with this new 430 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,079 you know, with these new leagues, I think you're going to see those 431 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,400 become quite popular because the print runs might not be massive, but they're going 432 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,799 to a lot of dedicated collectors. As you guys kind of mentioned earlier, 433 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:25,640 Brody, I know you'd said it. You know, I collect a lot 434 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,279 of people that no one in their right mind wants to collect. Tops Now 435 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,240 Panninian Incidant provide me, you know, with some cards that otherwise I wouldn't 436 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,559 be able to have, and so, you know, they kind of tie 437 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:40,319 in together in a way. But I think if they use tops Now with 438 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,920 that new football league, then I think that is one thing that they benefit 439 00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:49,960 greatly from. Yeah, I did see some early Holland big number sales at 440 00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:55,359 tops Now cards like nineteen. You know, I've got all I've got all 441 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,920 the Jude Bellingham's, the Jude and Arling ones, all of them and I 442 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,519 bought them up like and I mean it's nice because with tops, you know, 443 00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:05,359 when you buy them, you get TOPS points. So if you buy 444 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,279 enough of them and you don't have to buy thousands, but I mean, 445 00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:10,880 if you start buying fifty sixty of them, you're going to be able to 446 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,160 get ten or twenty for free. Like I mean, you can use your 447 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,920 TOPS points on them, and you get TOPS points on everything. So there 448 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,559 were tons of releases where I ended up buying twenty or thirty for nothing for 449 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,960 shipping, and so you know, buying them there is a reward system in 450 00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:31,759 place if you continue to buy them fair enough, true, I'll throw this 451 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:37,079 to you first, Mookie. In regards to the first off the line Jersey 452 00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:38,759 goes, is it first off the line Jersey worth more or more? He 453 00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:43,039 goes? Is that a thing is a first off the line Jersey worth more 454 00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:46,000 or more collectible? Or is fanatics trying to create a sub market. Well, 455 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,960 they're absolutely creating a new type of relic. I mean, this is 456 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:58,079 just like they did they did with the game used update patches. They are 457 00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:00,920 creating a new type of relic. These are I mean, they're going to 458 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,519 the length of putting the MLB authentication sticker on it. They don't do that 459 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,200 on a lot of stuff. I mean that's normally reserved for higher end products 460 00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:15,640 and a lot of specific game used stuff, Triple threads, you know, 461 00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:20,519 flagship stuff of theirs are you know, not flagship line, but you know 462 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,759 flagship products of THEIRS that always have that sticker. So to go to the 463 00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:31,160 length of MLB authenticating it, Oh, they're absolutely creating a new sub market, 464 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,519 if you want to call it, a new type of relic that's out 465 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,599 there. Because it's like I said, if you scan or type in the 466 00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:42,599 code, we did it on the show live. If you type in the 467 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,599 code for any other card, it tells you the game tells you all this 468 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,759 stuff about it. If you type this in, it says this is the 469 00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:54,160 first jersey. This is a piece of the first jersey for mass produce, 470 00:33:55,039 --> 00:34:00,680 for mass production off the production line. And so it's very interesting that they're 471 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,960 going to the links of MLB authenticating that. So yes, I do personally 472 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,400 think that they're you know, creating a new type of type of route, 473 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,400 which they did with the update patches as well. And I like that, 474 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,320 you know it, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm not a fan 475 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,400 of this production stuff. I'm trying to be very nice here on these. 476 00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:27,039 Yeah, but the update patches I love, and so they are you know, 477 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,079 at least they're being innovative, at least they're being creative. I just 478 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:36,079 think there's some swings and misses and I really don't know how five people approved 479 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:39,320 us. But anyway, I do think they are creating a sub market in 480 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,119 a way. Okay, here, enough Able says the reason why I'm a 481 00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:49,039 big fan of the tops now NHL stickers, print runs are very minimal when 482 00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:54,920 compared to produce cards for hockey big time, So totally agree able with tops 483 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,760 now. You really do have the opportunity to grab some really low umber cards, 484 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,960 and honestly, guys, in in the next five years that might not 485 00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:08,480 matter as much. But when all of this stuff gets to the vintage era, 486 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:14,320 when this stuff gets to that time frame where you know, pop reports 487 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,519 really start to matter on certain things and certain players, these are going to 488 00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:22,239 be cards that are going to have some insanely low print runs compared to what's 489 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:28,719 produced today. Mike says he's going to stick to Elvis hair cards. I 490 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,079 agree, Hey, give me something I'm right there with you, Mike, 491 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,119 get that going right there with you, Budden. Chris is one thing that 492 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,400 Drew mentioned, and this was back in the eighties. I was always a 493 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,800 big fan, and anytime I saw them cheaply, I was bought the tops 494 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,920 Tiffany cards. There you go, because the print runs were known and they 495 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,119 were so much smaller. You know, you know, eighty seven tops print 496 00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:54,800 run. Tiffany print run is huge at thirty thousand copies. Yeah, I 497 00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,880 think they're still making eighty seven tops in the factory they are. I think 498 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,480 there's a dedicated factory that's been doing that for forty some years. Rich, 499 00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:09,880 you know, in some of the years, eighty forty eighty six is even 500 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,559 much less of a print run than the thirty thousand that was the highlight, 501 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,840 that was the high watermark of the Tiffany print runs. With a guaranteed print 502 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,360 run of let's call it ten thousand and eighty four, which I believe was 503 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,679 the number. Yeah, would you rather have it? Maddingly rookie, where 504 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,639 you know they only made ten thousand, righty? There is even more problematic 505 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,679 because in some places you could order ten cards and they had to make special 506 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,400 sheets up because you know, not everybody was finishing cards from their sets. 507 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:44,000 They were saying, Mattingly, Strawberry, you know all the rookie cards and 508 00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:47,559 all the biggest names, you know, not the Bill Krueger's. You needed 509 00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:54,000 to finish yourself. Nobody nobody really ordered the Bill Krueger. Chris says he'd 510 00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:58,800 liked to meet the person who came up with the idea of authenticating non game 511 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:04,599 used jerseys. There you go, I agree, Chris, and Mike says, 512 00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,239 cut up. I agree, But well, like I said, I'm 513 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:12,320 gonna be nice today because I went in really hard two weeks ago, so 514 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,800 I'm gonna be very nice today. But I agree, Chris, that's fair. 515 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,800 Mike says, cut up a hat. Put it in the card hat 516 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:23,960 patch from the first fanatic hat with triple threads. Here he says, hello 517 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,800 everyone. Orlando says Tiffany sets are the only ones worth collecting during that era. 518 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,360 See that, that's my that's and rich. That is an excellent example 519 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,320 of I didn't even really think about that, but you're dead on, I 520 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,280 think, and that's exactly what I was, you know, trying to trying 521 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,920 to point to now where now tops Now, granted, isn't a the exact 522 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,760 same set produced a little less like Tiffany is. I still think, I 523 00:37:52,800 --> 00:38:00,280 think what we're valuing now and what we value for modern cards right now is 524 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:06,639 going to be drastically different when these modern cards head into vintage territory, just 525 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,880 like we're seeing with nineties products right now, nineties basketball, nineties football inserts, 526 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,920 star rubies, we're you know, odd odd stuff like that, Pacific 527 00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:20,599 inserts, things like that. Stuff that was not valued even fifteen years ago 528 00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:25,800 is starting to be very valuable now. And so that's where things like now, 529 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,679 products like that I think, I think have a lot of future value, 530 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,760 even though we might not value them right now. Well, one thing 531 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,079 to remember with that is back in the day in the eighties, you know 532 00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:43,239 when players were signing at shows. Oh, you never wanted to get Mickey 533 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,239 Mantle to sign, you know, one of his older cards, because the 534 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,360 autograph was the card was worth so much more than the the you know, 535 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,280 than the signature. Well, now being if you were counterintuitive and like one 536 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,559 of my friends, would get off quality cards signed, you know, let's 537 00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:01,800 say a fifty three Bowman color Mantle sign Right now, all of a sudden, 538 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:07,400 those cards when they're authenticated are worth a ton more than your average eight 539 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:13,199 by ten photo, even if it's authenticated. So yeah, Able, stop 540 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,000 giving him ideas. They watched this show, stop giving him ideas. Able, 541 00:39:16,159 --> 00:39:22,239 Stop we don't need more parallels. Stop giving them ideas. No, 542 00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:28,519 I think, And I don't know. You guys would have to let me 543 00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:30,159 know. I'd be curious to what you guys think. But I kind of 544 00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:35,360 think they don't use the Tiffany name anymore, probably because we have chrome now, 545 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,920 and that's kind of what Tiffany was was an upscale version in a way, 546 00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:45,599 or a nicer stocked version of the base set. And I think now 547 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:51,119 we already have chrome. But I am kind of shocked that they haven't brought 548 00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:53,480 back to Tiffany. And I've been wondering if they were ever going to do 549 00:39:53,559 --> 00:39:58,119 a release like that. But don't give them ideas, don't don't there those 550 00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:00,960 comments out there? Well, remember the if any sets were produced in Ireland, 551 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,159 Yes they were, they were not produced at the American, the durry 552 00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:08,039 A or Brooklyn Plants, and so I wonder if they're you know, and 553 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:13,320 I wonder what the and I'm going to say, what the implications are if 554 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,639 you make an American product at the Ireland plant nowadays, even if they even 555 00:40:16,679 --> 00:40:22,599 still have it. Yeah, yeah, there you go. All right, 556 00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:25,639 listen, it's uh, you got all kinds of stuff coming down the pike. 557 00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:30,280 I'm just glad Drew is being nice today. So that's that's cool. 558 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,800 Hey, I'm always nice. It was very respectful. It's just I felt 559 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,760 that went a little harsh. I had a conversation with mister Ruben afterwards. 560 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,519 So everything's good. But we reached out to you. Yeah, yeah, 561 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,360 yeah, there you go. So well, apparently, I guess that's the 562 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,960 nerve. Uh. So, I guess my camera is off. I don't 563 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,039 know mi Endi shows it's on, but so I guess you guys see me 564 00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,800 as a black screen. But I'm good. You're John Cena today. It's 565 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,000 all good. Yeah, I guess so. I So, I guess, 566 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,920 well, I just wanted to close out here with any recent pick Yeah, 567 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,800 exactly, recent pickups or anything you guys had that wanted to show. So 568 00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:13,599 Brody, I'll start with you. I guess I can't go. I'll just 569 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,440 because you can't see anything. So but go ahead, Brody. While you 570 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,920 go, maybe I'll try and figure it out what's going on over here. 571 00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:22,599 Well, I'm gonna go with because I got my new blog on Hobby News 572 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:30,280 Daily. I got one card from every eighties set because I ranked the nineteen 573 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,880 eighties top set and my blog. So for nineteen eighty we got Vita Blue 574 00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:40,119 and that Giants form. Rested piece Divida eighty one tops.

We got Don Sut looking like he is not supposed to 584 00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:31,159 be pitching anymore. Look at how he looks in that picture, Like, 585 00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:36,079 I don't think he's pretty pitching anymore. Don Sudden just like you know, 586 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:43,159 like maybe just like he just dazzled here. Now like go to coaching, 587 00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:46,480 all right, and eighty nine tops we got Mike Scott, so check that 588 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:52,559 out. Hobby was Daily dot Com ranked the eighties tops sets by Brodie the 589 00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:54,800 kidd there you go. Look at that. That's the you're a pro man. 590 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,000 You got to see you see that? Rich he was. He was 591 00:42:58,039 --> 00:43:00,639 listening when you said the pr He went over his pickups and did the plug 592 00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:04,960 all in one show. Now I like it. Brody's growing up. Man, 593 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,119 kid's a pro man. You are trained for sure. Well, so 594 00:43:09,199 --> 00:43:13,920 you can't see me and you can't see rich So Drew, what do you 595 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,400 got? Yeah, well I went and ran and got some since I didn't 596 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,400 know we were gonna do it, but uh, first up, we got 597 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,920 one sitting here on the desk. It's a Paulo in person auto with the 598 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,519 blue and it's in the new Zion mag pros, which are coming out really 599 00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:35,480 soon. These things are freaking awesome. These magnetics are really really sweet. 600 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,400 Yeah, what is that? What? So just Zion Cases makes it and 601 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,000 it's coming out I believe at the end of this year beginning next year. 602 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,559 But what it is, it's actually a mag where when you open it up, 603 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,480 you can actually change the top. You know, you can make your 604 00:43:55,519 --> 00:44:00,760 own custom label so it has your its own custom label instead of having it 605 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:06,000 in a slab, and so you can switch things up, put different labels 606 00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:08,000 on it. They have ones where you can put the price on it so 607 00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:12,320 you can have them for sale, you know, and have it look like 608 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:17,320 the price is ready, multiple change changeable flips, a lot of really cool 609 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,639 stuff on these. These things are actually incredible quality if you guys know anything 610 00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:27,480 about Zion cases and their quality on those. But they're very easy to put 611 00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:31,400 back together as you can see. But yeah, the mag pros they'll be 612 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:37,199 coming out really soon. I highly recommend going to Zion and checking out what 613 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,079 they have on those now. But got that Paulo from the guys over at 614 00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:45,960 Game Time Sports Cards. They actually gifted that to me. Got this card 615 00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:52,039 in a trade in at a recent show. I'm a big old school North 616 00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:55,039 Carolina guy. My mom went to you and see everyone in my family did 617 00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:59,840 except for me. I went to ECU but picked up a nice Anton Jamison 618 00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:07,320 from back in the day, and then grabbed a very nice Ronald Acunya out 619 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:13,960 of ten rookie salute. Yeah out of ten. Ended up picking that up 620 00:45:14,039 --> 00:45:17,800 and then, speaking of tops now, got the Tops now Otani Rookie. 621 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:23,440 This goes for about four times. What does Tops rookies go for? Just 622 00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:28,559 to give you a comparison, since we're just talking about it, there's another 623 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,840 Otani Tops Now Rookie. The first one was from the team set, that 624 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,679 one was from another Okay, I got this one. If you guys have 625 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,920 seen the new Tops by j Rod collection, the Julio one. I ended 626 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:47,199 up pulling the Gunner out of forty four. Really nice set, really really 627 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,079 nice. I like it a lot. Let's see what else is here we've 628 00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:57,760 also we picked up. Other than that, we basically picked up a lot 629 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,239 of pookah. I'm a big Pooka Nakoula fan, so a lot of hookah 630 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:07,920 and then a whole lot of Paolo and Jalen Williams mosaics and stuff like that. 631 00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,800 I'm really big on Jalen Williams, really big on Polo. And then 632 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,119 less but not least, got to add more shade in my collection. I've 633 00:46:17,159 --> 00:46:22,920 literally been grabbing that dude since draft day, so why stop now? I've 634 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,639 been telling people since draft day to buy those cards, and then I actually 635 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:35,199 did end up getting one Bryce Williams Super collection for those that follow me on 636 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,360 social media. Now I'm going after every single Bryce Williams one oh one that 637 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,960 he has. The ones that aren't behind you are in a stack right here. 638 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,760 I have all but about ten. Did find a printing plate that I 639 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,559 did not know I had, that I did not know existed, So I 640 00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:57,199 got a contender's printing plate from twenty sixteen Bryce Williams. So there's some recent 641 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,159 pickups. Very nice, very nice. Well, since I'm behind a black 642 00:47:00,159 --> 00:47:05,559 screen now just have to save these for another day. But fellas, man, 643 00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:07,760 this was fun. I'm I'll go around the table. Man. What's 644 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,440 what do you got coming up in hobby wise, Brody shows, anything like 645 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,239 that? Oh you read my blog happing his daily. I really want opinions 646 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:21,519 on my eighties tops rankings, especially being a kid, I want adults opinions. 647 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,119 I feel like it was a little controversial. I put one major eighties 648 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:30,199 set pretty low, so I want people's opinions on it. And I have 649 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:35,119 one more quick pickup.

When I do the Dallas Card Show, when I do it with 665 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,840 com see we're in the Starlight Room, and the show he does at the 666 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,599 Airport, it's like the Starlight Room. So it's really I like those shows. 667 00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:52,199 It's really cool and the floor is carpeted and I feel so much better 668 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,199 at the end of the show.
