You know, dude, I feel like one seventy 7 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.679 five should be a milestone episode. It is well, I mean, it's 8 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.679 like every every you know on the twenty fives, you know kind of thing. 9 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.119 Yeah, yeah, well, I mean it is a milestone. It's 10 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.039 a it is a It's a big molestone in my opinion. Hey, we're 11 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.799 twenty five away from two hundred. We'll be hitting that really soon, I 12 00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.600 know. But I feel like, you know, we should be doing like 13 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.880 a part for this one. Um yeah, you know, but we'll save 14 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.239 it. We'll save it for two hundred hindsight and all that stuff. Yeah, 15 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.200 two hundred will definitely be a big one. But welcome everybody. Hope 16 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.560 everyone is doing well. We have a jam packed show for you guys today. 17 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.560 Even though it's not a big party. There's a lot of news and 18 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.239 a lot of stuff Scott to talk about, and um, we'll dive right 19 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.519 into it. At least finally the news broke before we recorded instead of two 20 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.840 hours after we recorded, like everything else seems to it. Then, if 21 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.760 you guys caught her, it's only it's coincidence because I got busy yesterday and 22 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.920 we couldn't record on it on the Tuesday when we normally do. So yeah, 23 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.040 no, I mean we got lucky. As Tom Brady has announced that 24 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.560 he is retiring again, except for there's a couple of differences. This time. 25 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.799 His contract is out, so he's not getting out of a contract. 26 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.480 He could have gone anywhere he wanted period. He couldn't have the first time, 27 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.000 so there was a reason for retiring before. But Tom Brady retiring from 28 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.240 football, the message he sent really seemed like it, uh, like he 29 00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.879 meant it. Um, I know he got the condo in Miami and everyone 30 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.840 thought he was gonna be a dolphin. No, that's where his kids live 31 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.400 and he can't legally move them out of state, so of course he's gonna 32 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.400 get a beautiful house where his children are in the middle of a divorce. 33 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.080 He's probably gonna get it, and he's probably gonna get a bunch of other 34 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.000 houses and a whole ton of other places too, right, I mean, 35 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.840 and let's be honest, Tom Brady's not done with football. He's just done 36 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.680 playing football. I mean, he do you know what's the what's the what's 37 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.599 the over under run? How long he takes him to come back? Well, 38 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.639 I don't think he comes back. I don't if you gave me an 39 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.719 overunder I mean, if you were giving me odds that the odds would have 40 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.000 to be like that he doesn't come back, would be probably like minus five 41 00:02:54.199 --> 00:03:00.479 fifty or minus six hundred for me. Like I it was different before because 42 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.879 he was leaving New England and you knew he wanted to win a Super Bowl 43 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.039 somewhere else to prove he could. Now he's done it, and he's he 44 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.800 is a lot older, and you saw his age this year for the first 45 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.080 time ever on the football field. You saw Tom Brady's age, and I 46 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.960 think he if anyone's going to look at that film and see it, it's 47 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.639 going to be him. And so there's a big difference from when he retired 48 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.560 from New England and he wanted to prove Belichick, the fans, the writers, 49 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.080 anyone in the whoever it was that he could win elsewhere. Now he's 50 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.599 done it, what else does he have to prove to himself or to anyone 51 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.520 else. I think it's about doing, you know, kind of doing something 52 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.680 you know a little bit different, and there's you know, there's been a 53 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.280 lot of discussions with the quarterback injuries and problems at the forty nine Ers have 54 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.240 had that Brady may end up there for on a one year contract because you 55 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.840 know, again he grew up in the area, he grew up a Niners 56 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:01.680 fan, and he also has ties he else ties in Carolina, So he's 57 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.199 been linked with Carolina with Orlovsky, who brought up all the business ties and 58 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.319 relationships he has. There's a lot of places he could go that would yeah, 59 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.759 but I think I think the forty nine Ers would make sense because you've 60 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.839 got the sentimental aspect of it to him, as far as you know where 61 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:18.040 he grew up, things like that. But then you also have the fact 62 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.560 that you know that team is with the exception of the quarterback injuries, which 63 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.720 is kind of what their downfall was, you know. And at the end, 64 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.160 I think that team is stacked to and is primed to make a run 65 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.439 next year at you know, at the Super Bowl. No, so do 66 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.399 I no matter who the quarterback is. Um. I think the forty nine 67 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.360 ers, which we'll talk a lot about them and some of their quarterbacks here 68 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.199 in just a few moments, but that I think that they're they're overly stacked 69 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:55.000 at quarterback with multiple capable quarterbacks. I do think the system that they run 70 00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.480 with the players around him helps tremendously to be able to plug in play, 71 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.360 which would be nice for Tom Brady to just jump and plug and play in 72 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.680 there. And I could see him moving over there because that would probably be 73 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.439 But I mean, at the same time, you thought that they were going 74 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.480 to win this year, and once again, I'm going to go back to 75 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.439 Tom Brady. Did not look like Tom Brady this year. I'm sorry, 76 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.879 And I mean his card market showed it. His card market went down during 77 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.079 the season. There was not the massive amount of hype that you always see 78 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.000 for Brady cards. Carolina was within two, Get was tied with them with 79 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.839 three games left to win the division. I mean, and Carolyn, look, 80 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.680 I mean, so Tom Brady, well, that wasn't really saying much 81 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.319 because the division itself was you know, of course, because that's my point, 82 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.959 tom Brady was not Tom Brady, that he was not the exact same 83 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.680 Tom Brady. And so when you're talking about coming back or going for this 84 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:56.319 one last ride, I don't know if plugging him into San Francisco gives them 85 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.759 a better option than the quarterbacks that they have. I just don't. It's 86 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.519 because it is the system there, it's d system, and once they figure 87 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.319 out how to use Christian McCaffrey, it's going to be a lot bigger and 88 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.079 a lot worse. I mean, they might as well have used him at 89 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.279 quarterback on on Sunday, because he probably would have been better than Johnson. 90 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.360 He can throw too, he throw, he can throw, he can run. 91 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.920 You know, you don't, you don't have the thing. Honestly, 92 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.519 that's what I would have done. You know what, Screw the fourth string 93 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.600 quarterback. Let's just let McCaffrey run it, you know, run the line, 94 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.160 make some passes. It comes runs. It comes back to things I've 95 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.680 said a lot, and that's that the forty nine ers have not figured out 96 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.680 how to use Christian McCaffrey the right way. Yet. We talked about it 97 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.319 when we were talking about who we thought would go to the Super Bowl, 98 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.000 and I said that I didn't think they'd figured out how to use him yet, 99 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.360 and they haven't and when they eventually do, unless they're forcing him to 100 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.879 adapt to their system, which I think is stupid because he fits their system. 101 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.920 You just need to expand his role. But yeah, he should have 102 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:08.399 played quarterback over Josh Johnson. But Brady, let's move to the card market 103 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.600 for a few moments before we move on on to a couple other things relating 104 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.040 into some quarterbacks in the league. But so Brady's card market, now he's 105 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.680 done. Let's say he's done. Let's say he doesn't come back. He's 106 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:26.480 done for right now, what do you see his card market doing in the 107 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:31.279 future, Because it's always interesting when even an all time great like Peyton Manning 108 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.319 or someone like that, retires, it's always interesting to see what happens with 109 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.600 their cards. So what do you see Tom Brady's you know, immediate and 110 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.800 kind of long term effect on his cards? Well as far as the immediate 111 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.600 effect goes. You know, this is a unique situation because we had it 112 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:58.439 a year ago, right, you know, Brady announced his retirement all of 113 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.000 a sudden, the cards shot through the roof, and you know, then 114 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.279 he came back and they started to you know, and part of it was 115 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.600 him, you know, starting the season not playing very well, and part 116 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.240 of it was just the market in general, you know, being down overall. 117 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.279 But the question is, now that he has retired for a second year 118 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.759 in a row, will we see the same kind of bump. I don't 119 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.839 think it's going to be as big as we saw last year. I think 120 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.680 he gets a little bit of a bump, and then long term, I 121 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.079 think, you know, I think there's the Hall of Fame bump that you 122 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.559 know that's going to come. And I don't think there's you know, if 123 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.000 there's any player out there that you know you have questions on whether or not 124 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.440 he is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer, well, yeah, 125 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.919 Tombry, Yeah, I mean there's no, there's no that's unanimous across 126 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.879 the board immediately exactly. And you know, I'm not sure if the NFL 127 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.840 should do this, but you know, you remember when Wayne Gretzky retired, 128 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.399 Yes, you know, the NHL waived the three year waiting period and ducted 129 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.919 him into the Hall of Fame immediately, and it's like, yeah, yeah, 130 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.480 the commissioner actually liked Wayne Grat's case. Though, no, it's probably 131 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.279 not going to do that for Tom Brady now. And that's and that's probably 132 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.120 true. And you know, I'm kind of kind of shocked they didn't do 133 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.360 that with Michael Jordan two in the NBA, but you know, they made 134 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.399 him wait it out. I think he gets the Hall of Fame bump. 135 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.440 And I think you see a steady rise, you know, that is that 136 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.799 is going you know, long term, that is going to be just a 137 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.759 consistent you know, maybe the one percent two percent you know, year over 138 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.159 year kind of thing, you know, every year and it and it becomes 139 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.679 you know, kind of on par with vintage you know card where you you 140 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.919 know, you do see a small, you know, for the most part, 141 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.519 a small but steady increase on a year over year basis with you know, 142 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.039 taking in you know, market conditions into account and things like that too. 143 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.600 All Right, I completely agree with you. I don't don't know if 144 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.960 you're gonna see much of a bump. I think you're gonna, like immediately, 145 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.879 I think you're gonna see a lot of cards sold because people buy them, 146 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.799 and so you might see a tiny bump because a lot of people are 147 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.080 buying, and so the supply may be less for the demand for that time 148 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.480 being, you know what I mean, and what's available, not overall, 149 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.960 but for the time being. So I think you're gonna see some sort of 150 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.080 a bump. But then, like you said, Tom Brady, I don't 151 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.639 think you're gonna see astronomical bumps at any time, not even the Hall of 152 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.200 Fame or anything like that, because I think a lot of that's baked in. 153 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:43.039 But you are gonna see this is someone who's bigger cards, especially autos, 154 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.120 because he has so few and things like that, they're going to continue 155 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.879 to rise. You may have some that, you know, don't set record 156 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.200 sales, but for the most part, a lot of his stuff is going 157 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.639 to continue set record sales. Contenders as they sell, will probably keep out 158 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.720 selling each other, you know, a little bit each year. I mean, 159 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.039 he's that type of player. It is going to be interesting to see 160 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.679 how this last year affects everything. Um not going out when he probably should 161 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.000 have. Well, I think I think they seen it, but I think 162 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.720 we've seen it because over the last this last season, his prices are down 163 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.320 right, and not all of that is due to the market conditions. Yeah, 164 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.399 I mean a lot of that is due to the fact that he played 165 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.919 like crap. Yes, but I think I think tom Brady's cards, at 166 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.440 least long term, when we're looking at the market, I think you said 167 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.480 it best. It's gonna be like vintage. I mean, he's gonna be 168 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.200 one of the most in demand cards no matter what once He's retired every year 169 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.600 all the time, and stuff's going to continue to rise. It's just I 170 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.559 don't think you're going to see those meteoric bumps. I mean, who knows. 171 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.039 Maybe he does something incredible outside of the sport that changes the world. 172 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.360 Who knows he is Tom Brady? Um? I mean in Ted, they 173 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.759 did try and steal his jizz, so hets have magical powers. But you 174 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.519 know that that is true. And he's got the new movie, and he's 175 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.840 got the new movie out yeah this week. Yeah, So I mean maybe 176 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.679 he goes mainstream Hollywood like The Rock and gets even bigger post retirement. Who 177 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.399 knows with Tom Brady, but the man I love to hate Tom Brady hanging 178 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.799 up the cleats for now. I still think it's for good. But we 179 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.440 shall see. But Scott, let's move on. Now from a quarterback that's 180 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.200 hanging up the cleats to a couple other quarterbacks that are hanging up their cleats, 181 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.440 but not for good, just because they failed to make the super Bowl. 182 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.720 The super Bowl is set, which will have our super Bowl talk next 183 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.200 week. We'll do our picks and everything, and I will I will hold 184 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.039 on before you get into that, I do want to say that, Wow, 185 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.840 the two of us both wound up with last week's episode, we pick 186 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.360 the same teams to make it to the super Bowl. We were both wrong, 187 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.679 very wrong. Yeah. I do want to point that out because when 188 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.279 you know, this is one of the few shows that when when we get 189 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.559 it wrong, and in this case, we got it horribly. Oh yeah 190 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.720 bad. You know we're going to come out and tell you that, hey, 191 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.720 we fucked up. Yeah. So I hopefully nobody, you know, 192 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.320 place any bets based upon you know, our I mean I did, and 193 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.399 I will say that I think one of the games would have gone completely different 194 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.200 head their quarterback made injured early in the gas. Yeah, let's be honest 195 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.440 there. Um. But yeah, so the super Bowl is set. Of 196 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.639 course Philly and Kansas City, so well we'll touch on them a little later. 197 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.559 But the quarterbacks. Uh, And we'll touch on the quarterbacks here too 198 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.840 as well. But I want to talk about the quarterbacks that are left, 199 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.000 obviously Mahomes and Hurts, and the quarterbacks that didn't make it Purty, you 200 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.960 know, Herbert Burrow. I mean, you look at the names of these 201 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:52.600 quarterbacks that that got so close but ended up not making it and their market 202 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.600 because I have a random going to go on here in a minute, but 203 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.080 I want to get your opinion on everything. But what do you what do 204 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.600 you think about you know, the quarterback market as as they get eliminated as 205 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.679 the season comes to an end. I you know, we all know how 206 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:16.399 finnicky you know, the collectors and the fans and you know, I don't 207 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.720 you know they see like when the Chargers went out and you know, obviously 208 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.000 that knocked out Herbert. Yeah, and you you know, people are you 209 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.000 know, hating on him, and you know, prices went down all the 210 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.320 people, you know, hey buying buying Herbert at twenty percent of comps and 211 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.720 that kind of stuff. I think they're failing to look at the totality of 212 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.360 the situation as to why they got knocked out. You know, it's kind 213 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:48.639 of similar to Okay, well, Purdy's not in the Super Bowl because Purdy 214 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.720 got hurt early in the game, and then when he came back out, 215 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.840 people are getting on him. Why isn't he throwing the deep out? The 216 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:03.080 dude had a torn you see. Yeah, he basically needs Tommy john surgery, 217 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.960 right. And the fact that he was even able to throw the ball 218 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.799 like period, yes, is miraculous. His injury is, i would say, 219 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.039 is probably the reason that won it wasn't a closer game. Yeah. 220 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.759 Defense, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's another story. But you know, 221 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.120 they couldn't do anything on offense because they had nobody to throw the ball. 222 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.200 Johnson was a bust. Yeah, you know, but you're talking about, 223 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.480 you know, your fourth string quarterback, you know, coming in and 224 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.600 playing in the NFC Championships like, oh, okay, who would have thought 225 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.240 this would happen? Yeah? And by the way, the fourth string quarterback 226 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.679 who had played for four was it fourteen different? Yes? Seven or eight 227 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.360 or something ridiculous like that? Yes, Um, you know that That's one 228 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.480 thing that drives me nuts, dude, Like, okay, the I mean 229 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.200 use brock parity as an example. I've seen so many posts that have just 230 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.600 driven me crazy about brock parity. Blah blah blah. Oh he lost. 231 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.559 This proves that he can't handle it. He's a bust. Haha. All 232 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.840 these party cards are gonna be worth ten dollars in the future, et cetera, 233 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.320 et cetera, et cetera. This is the dumbest thing that I see 234 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.399 in the hobby, and it is so cyclical, and it drives me fucking 235 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.279 crazy because Okay, yes, all right, he lost. Obviously his stuff 236 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.200 is gonna go down. A lot of people's stuff is gonna go down. 237 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.080 It's my favorite time to start buying. That's what happens in the hobby. 238 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.759 But they say, oh, why did these people pay this big money on 239 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.399 these cards? Well, because maybe they believe in him. And you know, 240 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.440 my three my three year rule. So you've got to give these guys 241 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:48.000 a chance to develop. We're looking at these young guys and judging their entire 242 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.159 career before they've even played five years in the league. Look at Jalen Hurts 243 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.879 right now. Jalen Hurts during year two was considered the big It was a 244 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.359 toss up between Yields or Hurts, and it was Hurts possibly being a massive 245 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.599 bust. Look what he's been able to do what Brock Purdy is gonna do. 246 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:15.519 We have no idea but the but this whole getting on and just embracing 247 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:21.680 the fact that cards are dropping tremendously is just so stupid to me. And 248 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.359 now that the season's over, they're gonna have a basketball player in a week, 249 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.519 once they finally start paying attention to basketball, it'll be someone in basketball 250 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.680 for a little bit, then baseball, then we'll find someone in football. 251 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.440 And it's just gonna rinse and repeat itself. It drives me crazy. So 252 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:45.559 I do have a concern about Brock Purdy. I think there is one legitimate 253 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.720 concern about Brock Purdy. What's that? And that concern is Trey Lance. 254 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:53.880 Well, yes, by the time they come back, Lance is going to 255 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.200 be healthy. You know, he'll be He'll be healthy to play. Purdy 256 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.559 should be recovered relatively close to the start of training keep you know, even 257 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.720 if he does have to have surgery. Garoppolo, I believe his contract is 258 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.279 up after the year this year, so he's not going to be a you 259 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.279 know, he's not going to be a factor here. But who is going 260 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.759 to be the starting quarterback in San Francisco. Purdy has proven that he can. 261 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.519 He can do it, but so is Lance. You know, although 262 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.160 the one knock I have against Lands is that he lost to the Bears, 263 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.359 you know, week one. Now, granted the weather conditions and then you 264 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:33.640 know they're in week one well, but they were also basically playing the game 265 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.799 in a kiddie place. Yes, yeah, so, you know, not 266 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.680 exactly normal conditions. So if Trey Lance becomes the starter again, Purdy is 267 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.480 the backup and Lance plays the entire season and Purdie doesn't really get a lot 268 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.599 of action, you know, all right, I can see a drop in 269 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.440 value on that because he was relegated to backup status. But that's the concern. 270 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.160 That's so It's got nothing to do with his potential or his skill or 271 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.440 anything like that. It's solely due to the fact that he may not be, 272 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:10.039 you know, the starting quarterback next year because their starter is coming back, 273 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.480 right, And I mean, how does he feel about that? Does 274 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.440 it force a trade? There's a lot of stuff. I will say that 275 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:21.240 forty nine ers are just loaded with some possibilities if they want to move on 276 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.799 and be content with the Josh Johnson type backup. But I think they just 277 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.599 saw why you need a good backup. But you know when we're talking about 278 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.839 the hobby and the market, Yeah, whoever ends up with that backup gig, 279 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.319 that's that's going to be interesting to see how it goes. Do people 280 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.079 say up, he's the backup and give up on him, or does that 281 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.279 turn into the prospect of like all he's on the like the Jordan Love effect. 282 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.039 You know, oh he's on the bench, but he's coming and so 283 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:55.519 what what happens there? I mean, you could have theoretically two of the 284 00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.640 most hyped and most in demand quarterbacks going in the next year being on the 285 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.359 same team. So I I think, I honestly think that they both remit 286 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.880 you know, they're both going to stay in San Francisco next year. I 287 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.920 think the question is which one of them is going to not be their long 288 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.240 term right, because it's it is going to come down too because you've got 289 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:19.960 there literally a year apart just for his draft status. You know, we're 290 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.920 not talking about a situation where Love comes in. He's got a few years 291 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.920 because he's playing behind Rogers, just getting older and things. Now you got 292 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.880 to pay these guys. Yeah, there is gonna come a time where one 293 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.680 of them and they're not gonna They're not gonna pay them both, No, 294 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.640 but so one of them will get traded and with the question is going to 295 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.240 be which one, And I think it all depends on who stays healthy. 296 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.160 I mean Lance could come out and get hurt in week three, week four, 297 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.519 and then you know, Purdy takes over finishes the rest of the season, 298 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.079 and now all of a sudden, it's probably going to look like Lance 299 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.920 is right, He's gonna get rated and Purdy's going to remain the starter. 300 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.920 Or it could be it could be the other way out. It could be 301 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:06.519 that Purdy never gets any playing time because Lance remains healthy, and now all 302 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.519 of a sudden, Purdy's the one that's going to be on the trading block. 303 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.200 Yep, well I will. I will say one thing. You know, 304 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.759 I brought Purdy to me. Let those cards fall if you want two 305 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.880 people. But giving up on him is something I would definitely not do, 306 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.279 because, like I said, I think the quarterback situation there's going to be 307 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:29.960 interesting, and it might not be a three week flip or a two month 308 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.680 flip, but I think down the line, I think Purdy is a pretty 309 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:38.720 strong investment, especially if you're looking at whereas cards are now when they settle 310 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.960 and go back down to non you know, super Bowl or on hype type 311 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.680 of stuff. But they're not gonna. I don't think they're gonna trade either 312 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.160 one of them this year because the quarter the draft class with quarterbacks this year 313 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:59.079 is actually pretty decent. Yeah, he so, I think they're gonna either 314 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.920 twenty twenty four or twenty twenty five, when the quarterback class coming out of 315 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.519 college may not be as strong, that would be the time to trade one 316 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.799 of the two of them, because you've got you're going to get the better 317 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.000 value for him. Absolutely, And speaking on Holton Ayer's mark my words, 318 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.680 he's coming Bowl MVP, Senior Bowl MVP, and then the NFLPA Bowl MVP. 319 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.240 You watch this, dude, He's coming but anyway from the East Carolina 320 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.160 University of course. But we've got two quarterbacks in the super Bowl, Mahomes 321 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.039 and Hurts. What do you think the Super Bowl does to their respective values 322 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.839 in the hobby? Well, Mahomes, you know, he had a massive 323 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.240 high from a value standpoint a couple of years ago, and his stuff has 324 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.559 fallen off a lot, you know, compared to that. Not all of 325 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.319 it is, you know, is because of his play or anything like that. 326 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.480 But a good chunk of it is he has to win in order to 327 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.079 see a large bump, and I think, and honestly, I think it's 328 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.640 a short term bump at that. Hurts. On the other hand, I 329 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.880 think he's I think he gets the bump regardless of whether or not he wins 330 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:11.160 or loses, as long as he plays a really good game. And I 331 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.400 honestly think this is going to be a really close game. I don't see 332 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.279 it being a yeah, I don't see it being a blow. No. 333 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:23.000 I think, like you said Mahomes, a lot of this almost with Mahomes 334 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.240 and his pricing, I think is almost baked in as he's going to be 335 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.759 one of the next heir apparents, and so I think a lot of his 336 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.119 stuff is really kind of already there. But when you look at Hurts, 337 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:41.079 this is a season and this is a run where he's establishing himself as one 338 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.519 of those main stays in the hobby. And I agree with you if he 339 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.680 if he performs in the super Bowl, even with a loss, if he 340 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:55.039 has a good game, shows he belongs and you know, and can keep 341 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.200 it competitive and his stats look good. He doesn't turn the ball, over 342 00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:02.279 a time, you know, it's set, etc. He's gonna get a 343 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.279 bump for a long time. And I think people are gonna look at him, 344 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.039 maybe not in the same breath as Mahomes, because people have him so 345 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:12.279 far ahead of everyone else, and which is debatable, but they have him 346 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.799 so far ahead of everyone else. This could put Hurts, you know, 347 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.119 right below him and in that next tier. Yeah, exactly. And Hurts 348 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.480 has one thing going for him that Mahomes doesn't. As far as I know, 349 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:29.759 Hurts does not put ketchup on every time, and that's a major name 350 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.480 comes to Mahomes. And don't get me wrong. Look I like ketchup on 351 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.920 certain things. Great on Hamburgers, things like that, but you're putting it 352 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.599 on sneak, You're putting it on hot dogs, which is like sacrilegious. 353 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.559 Here in Chicago. They'll actually arrest you for putting ketchup on a hot dog 354 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.359 in Chicago. But that's just I don't know, I just don't. I 355 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.960 can't pull for somebody who puts ketchup on everything. Yeah, no, no, 356 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.799 I understand you there, but you know, well, we'll see what 357 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.359 happens. One Thanks for shure. It's going to be interesting. There's gonna 358 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:03.279 be a lot of movement with a lot of a lot of quarterbacks in particular, 359 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.200 and a lot of position players. There's a lot of position players that 360 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.440 are going to be impacted by this as well. We'll kind of focus on 361 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.200 the Super Bowl and some of the players in it and their market value and 362 00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.200 everything like that on next week's show when we do our super Bowl preview. 363 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:21.880 But it is definitely going to be interesting with all these quarterbacks. Absolutely. 364 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.039 But you know what, speaking of a guy who puts ketchup on his hot 365 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.200 dogs, yeah, let's talk about Lebron for him, all right? And 366 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.559 I just I want to preface that for those of you that are not for 367 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.720 Chicago, when you say somebody puts ketchup on their how that is the biggest 368 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.160 insult. Yes you can, you can lay on somebody here. So yeah, 369 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.799 you know my feelings on Lebron, But let's talk about let's talk about 370 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.319 that for a minute, because the dude is I mean, look, he's 371 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.680 had an amazing career. There's no doubt that he's a great player. There's 372 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.079 no doubt he's going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's what 373 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.039 three hundred points away from the score. You know, yes, he's approached 374 00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:03.119 time scoring record and you're seeing you know, when we talked about this a 375 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:08.119 little bit before the show, you're seeing a massive increase percentage wise in the 376 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.400 card market for quite a few key cards. Now I mean not everything across 377 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.079 the board. Well, actually most stuff is up, but a lot of 378 00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:19.519 it the top chrome, PSA, tens and things like that. I mean, 379 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:25.680 you're looking at over twenty five thirty increases in those over the last couple 380 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:30.400 of weeks. He's approached and he's played fifth I think maybe I think he 381 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.519 played, let's he played last night, sixteen or seventeen games all season that's 382 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.839 always played, and I mean granted, every game he plays, he's putting 383 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:45.640 up absturd numbers. But he is approaching that all time scoring record. And 384 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.000 that is something that I assumed was baked in. I thought everyone just figured 385 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.039 that that was going to happen and it was just going to pass by and 386 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.000 be nothing. But you're seeing it in the market. And if you go 387 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:02.000 to one of our awesome sponsors card lad and you look at their ladder where 388 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.880 they've got a lot of his key cards, and you look at a lot 389 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.160 of his sales and his trends. Every card you can click on is going 390 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.680 up, and on their card ladder, his number, the number one card 391 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:17.599 on the ladder right now is the two thousand and three Ultimate Collection Auto out 392 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.680 of two fifty. He's on their light crazy and stuff that. I mean, 393 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.079 the value right now is at sixty grand. I mean, these things 394 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:33.400 are approaching not ultimate hype level, you know, uh places, but they're 395 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.880 getting back up to where these are significant increases. And it's depriving to me 396 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.920 anytime anytime you wind up with you know, a you know, thirty to 397 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:47.720 forty percent, you know, or higher increase over a short period of time, 398 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:48.920 you know, which we're talking about a matter of a couple of weeks. 399 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:53.640 Yeah, you know that that's a pretty significant increase. And I'm and 400 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.759 I'm not talking about it, and like that doesn't apply to like stuff that's 401 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.920 under ten dollars, right, you know, but I just want you want 402 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.440 to put that out there. But when we're talking about that for a you 403 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.640 know, something like a lebron Tops Chrome rookie, you know, that's kind 404 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.480 of a surprise. The biggest and it's not really a surprise that the ultimate 405 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.240 out of two fifty is not you know, it is seeing a large increase 406 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.519 because you know, again the more limited the print run on something, the 407 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.240 the you know better it's going to do, you know, in situations like 408 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.920 this. So I kind of understand that, but I am surprised at how 409 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.720 high it's going because this is one of those things where it's like the season 410 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.000 started, you know, Lebron was not far away from you know, the 411 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.519 scoring record, and everybody kind of assumed that this point he was going to 412 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.480 hit it. You know, at some point this season. The question is 413 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.079 when you know, and three hundred point, you know, three hundred points 414 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.480 away. You know, he's got average thirty points for the next ten games, 415 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.200 assuming he plays ten games. But here just just as an update, 416 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.640 like I was saying, his tops chrome in the last month there rady to 417 00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.920 growth at thirty point two six percent from fifty eight hundred. Now it's currently 418 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.720 at seven thousand, five hundred and fifty five with a high sale of eight 419 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.599 thousand and five hundred and twenty three in the last month a loan. So, 420 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.240 I mean, this stuff's rising, and I think he's that boat. 421 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.200 I think he's kind of in that Brady boat. Yeah, I just don't 422 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:19.920 know. What to think about it, because you know, we've got a 423 00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.920 obviously a milestone event coming up. Yeah, but at the same time, 424 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:30.079 we you know, he's getting older, he's playing fewer games, his team's 425 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.680 terrible, His team's terrible, which shouldn't which shouldn't be terrible, and that's 426 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.799 no, Well, they haven't had a D when they have Lebron and a 427 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.599 D on the court together. If they can never keep him on the court, 428 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.720 which I think they're I think, I mean, there's a million teams 429 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.000 in the NBA right now, around five hundred. I think they just look 430 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.160 at the records and say, okay, we can get into the postseason. 431 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.200 Let's just get these guys healthy. I don't think they're trying. I think 432 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.480 I literally think they're just coasting because they know they can get in. Now. 433 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.279 That's a dangerous game they're playing because there's some crazy good young teams that 434 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:10.119 could easily beat them if they don't start to pick it up after the All 435 00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:14.880 Star Game. But I do think after All Star weekend you see a completely 436 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.799 different Laker team. This team is right now, let you know, coasting 437 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.319 or going through the motions, letting Lebron play a little bit ads recovering. 438 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.759 Let's see what happens when the Lakers are actually on the court, because this 439 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.799 isn't really the true Lakers yet. But like I said, there's a ton 440 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.319 of young teams out in the out in the West that I like way more 441 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.559 in la oh I would agree, I don't. And even if the Lakers 442 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.799 do some you know, end up making the playoffs, I don't think they 443 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.519 make it to the conference final game. No, I don't, no, 444 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.079 no, no, no, no, not even not even close. I 445 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.200 think they're I honestly think they're a first round exit. Well, but with 446 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.720 a with a team that is that stacked making it to the final, you 447 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.960 know, if anything short of making it to the finals, it's a feeling 448 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.039 as a failure, absolutely so. But I'm yeah, but I'm curious, 449 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.440 you know, when he hits that, and you know, are the prices 450 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.440 baked in now or are we going to see an even bigger bump when he 451 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:14.359 when he actually crosses Yeah? Is this the start of something you know? 452 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:19.200 Going up? Is this something that's gonna be a continuing trend as everyone waits 453 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:25.440 for him ultimately to play with his son and then retire or since we all 454 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:30.079 know that's the game plan, is it or is this uh, maybe just 455 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.200 a couple of people wanting to grab him real quick because I think he's but 456 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.319 well, and we'll kind of end it with this, but I think he's 457 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.599 in a Brady level when he retires, as his cards are just going to 458 00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.960 continue to go up. You're gonna have your haters, but Michael Jordan had 459 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:47.279 a million haters when he played. Look at how he's viewed now, and 460 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:49.519 you know, Lebron will be viewed the same way, I think in ten 461 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:55.079 twenty years, and so I think his cards can are in that Brady era 462 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.160 when he does retire. But to see this increase now was quite shocking to 463 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.759 me because I really assumed that this was baked in. I did not think 464 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.599 that this was going to be something where all of these cards, including just 465 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.559 his Basetop's Chrome PSA ten, which does have a couple thousand in pop, 466 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.799 we're gonna go up that much. That was That's quite shocking to me for 467 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.480 a record that was I mean, it was a guarantee that it was going 468 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.039 to be broken. Yeah, yeah, there was no there was no question 469 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:29.440 about it. But you know, knowing that you know he was not done 470 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:30.880 this year, you know, knowing, you know that he's going to play 471 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.720 another couple of years until you know he gets cheat. You know, he 472 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.039 wants to. I know he wants to play one season with his son. 473 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.839 And you know, I think, honestly, as much as I don't like 474 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.880 Lebron, I think that would actually be cool because I think that the first 475 00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.960 time, maybe the first time, that you'd have a father and son playing 476 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.559 together on the same team in the NBA. Yes, he's already playing against 477 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:59.759 opponents kids, yeah, that he played against. Now ultimately he'd get to 478 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.920 play with his kid. It's a it's a pretty amazing accomplishment. But oh, 479 00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:06.240 I do and I do want to say that a father, father, 480 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.359 and son playing together on the same team has happened before. Yep, Gordy 481 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.799 Howe and his kids, yes, you know, playing the NHL together. 482 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:19.359 But I don't think it's happened really anywhere else. No, I mean, 483 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.640 don't don't quote me as that, but I'm i'd almost guarantee it maybe on 484 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:30.119 a smaller level, never definitely nothing on a on a superstar all star level 485 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.160 like this. But one thing's for sure. In order to get it done, 486 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:36.200 he is probably gonna have to take a pay cut to go somewhere else 487 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.480 because just how salary caps work. Luckily he doesn't have to worry about bills, 488 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.880 however, we do. So guys, we'll be right back. And 489 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:52.160 we are back. So we're recording on February first, and we're gonna start. 490 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.160 We'renna start doing something we should have been doing from the beginning and you 491 00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.279 know, at the beginning of the month. Now we're gonna forego the movers 492 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.599 and shakers, yes, segment, And what we're going to talk about is 493 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.920 the excitement coming in the hobby over the next thirty days or in this case, 494 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:12.880 twenty eight days. We're gonna talk about what's coming up on the release 495 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.440 calendar. Yes, what do we get to open? What? Yeah? 496 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.039 What what are we going to be ripping? You know what? Are we 497 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.119 going to watch the breakers go crazy over? What can we expect as far 498 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:29.360 as monster hits being funneled through the back door in boxes to backyard breaks and 499 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.920 all that kind of stuff. So we're taking a look at the February release 500 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.360 calendar. Yes, and I want to bring up a couple of highlights. 501 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.880 Things are things that are you know, staples and hobby things that are I'm 502 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.320 really excited about now. I will say February is before we kicked off with 503 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.599 some of the names. February is really when, at least in my opinion, 504 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.559 the hobby gear truly begins. January kind of ease into it. February 505 00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.519 it kind of kicks into gear. Yeah, that that is true, with 506 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.239 the exception of a product that is releasing today and it's actually a great product. 507 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.000 I love this product. Upperdext Synergy Hockey is coming out today. Nice. 508 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:14.320 Well no, not really. It's twenty one, twenty two. Yes, 509 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:20.199 I know, Synergy. I know they are still still behind. I 510 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:25.639 blows my mind that I know that they haven't been able to catch up or 511 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:32.599 scrap something or I mean, you can't do anything in hockey at all right 512 00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.039 now outside of young guns, like you can't know. And that brings up, 513 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.000 and that brings up a good point because Series one's been out for a 514 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:44.880 while, for twenty two twenty three for that season, and guess what Series 515 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.800 two is coming out yea later this month. But yeah, we got twenty 516 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:54.400 twenty one, twenty twenty two releases coming out in February at twenty three exactly 517 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.480 something. Yeah, something sums a little off on that, So well, 518 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.719 yeah, coming up, So today we actually have a cool Panini Zenith's coming 519 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.480 out today. For football, we've got Synergy Hockey, and then we've got 520 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:10.320 Tops Gilded Collection Baseball Yes, which it actually looks like a pretty fun product. 521 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.480 Yeah, it reminds me of the old school. Um the Diamond Anniversary 522 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:21.199 Edition almost parallels. It's really cool. Yeah. Other things that I'm excited 523 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.800 about next week, We've got Panini Immaculate UFC Yes coming out, which is 524 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:30.440 always always a fun product. One that's coming out in the tenth which I 525 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.320 am I'm curious to see what they're gonna wind up doing with it is twenty 526 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:38.119 twenty three Leaf Floyd Money Mayweather Collection. Yeah. I love Floyd Mayweather. 527 00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:42.800 The dude is I mean, aside from being an amazing boxer, the dude 528 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.880 is just a character. So I'm curious to see if you know, he's 529 00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:52.519 done any you know, cool inscription autos or anything like that, you know, 530 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.119 with some fun things that have come out of his mouth in the past. 531 00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:00.000 Yeah, so I'm I'm excited about that. One. Also got really 532 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:07.440 cool stuff coming out, like obviously Bowman Chrome Draft Sapphire. But then you've 533 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:13.719 got one of my favorites Tops Chrome ben Baller coming out again Ben Baller Edition. 534 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.000 I always love that set well at the end of the month, and 535 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:20.480 this is this is something different. We've also got twenty twenty two Tops Chrome 536 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:24.519 Sonic Baseball. Yes, and I believe that is only being released in a 537 00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:30.480 light format. I have not seen any any hobby variation on that, so 538 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:35.960 I'm curious to see what's gonna what's gonna happen with that. We also have 539 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:43.360 the second iteration of Bowman Chrome University Football. Yeah with logos. Okay, 540 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.679 I was not aware of that, but yeah, there are logos on this 541 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.000 year. The mock ups that they have out of the Georgia players. Now, 542 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:53.760 I don't know if every card and everything will but if you actually take 543 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:58.679 a look, the mockups have logos. Yeah, I'm looking at will Anderson 544 00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.360 of Alabama. It's got the Alabama A right there on it. So these 545 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.639 actually, yeah, Caleb Williams at USC, these do have logos and everything. 546 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.480 Now, the jerseys, for some reason, some of them still seem 547 00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.559 to be airbrush. But no, looking at these right now, they look 548 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.119 amazing and they've done something really cool. I told you guys that this was 549 00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:25.320 going to be the first edition was going to be very basic and just dipping 550 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.119 their foot in the water. Look at the increases that you've got here. 551 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:36.639 You've also got the back end Time Bowman throwback inserts this year, you've got 552 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.039 Invicta. They've got the Invicta set this year, which well they do they 553 00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.280 did that, they did that last year too, right, But now they've 554 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.239 got the Big Cahuna, which is one of the really big inserts, and 555 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.639 then you've got the Rambling Autos which are some massive short prints, and you've 556 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:58.440 also got a couple other new inserts. So they've really done a really good 557 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.519 job with this. But now you've got logos. That is a huge difference 558 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.760 for this product. That's good. That's gonna be a that's gonna be a 559 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.239 game changer for the product. But so yeah, that you know, last 560 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:14.119 year's product they had the Golden Boy insert and the retro and then in hobby 561 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.559 you had the Infecto. But now they're throwing in some initial inserts. I 562 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:20.119 think, I think it's gonna be a really cool product. But the fifteenth 563 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.519 is actually going to be a big day. So in addition to the bum 564 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:29.519 Chrome University, you also have Leaf Metal Draft baseball. Yeah, you've got 565 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.039 uh, the always favorite Donres football. Yeah, hey, coming out staple 566 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:40.599 of the hobby forever exactly, Peniniummaculate WWE, which should be a fun product. 567 00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:46.119 I've seen they've they showed some photos of wrestlers signing some of the cards. 568 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.800 You know how cool Immaculate gets with the memorabilia for sports, with the 569 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.639 shoes and things like that. Just wait till you see this WWE. It 570 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:59.199 might not be the most valuable stuff in the world. Wait till you see 571 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:04.199 the cards. Oh yeah. Now upper Deck is releasing three products that day. 572 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.320 You've got Series two Hockey, which we mentioned earlier. You've got Trilogy 573 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:13.119 Hockey, yes, which is the twenty this is twenty twenty two, twenty 574 00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:16.719 three seasons. And then they're dating at twenty twenty two for some reason. 575 00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:22.280 But they're releasing upper Deck Flear Ultra Marvel Avengers, Yes, which I think 576 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:24.400 is actually going to be cool. And then the final one on the fifteenth 577 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:30.400 that we absolutely have to talk about is a It's the big product from a 578 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.719 baseball standpoint. Series one for twenty twenty three is coming out of Oh that's 579 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:40.079 a national holiday for baseball collectors. It Series one release day is huge, 580 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:45.920 and yeah, this year we've got something that's in at least to my knowledge, 581 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:51.280 has never been done before. And I've got to commend Tops for doing 582 00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:55.079 this. For those of you unaware, when Tops put out the mock ups 583 00:40:55.360 --> 00:41:00.599 for the Series one design, there were massive complaints on Twitter on social media 584 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:07.599 about certain design elements of the card that they didn't like, just certain things 585 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:10.400 that they thought could be improved. Well, for the first time, at 586 00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:17.000 least that I can remember, Tops and fanatics listen to them and actually tweaked 587 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:24.039 the base design and changed really all of the stuff that were the major complaints. 588 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:30.880 They updated the right side to make sure the team name doesn't go under 589 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:36.719 the player's secondary picture. The team logo has been made a little smaller, 590 00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.519 and the rookie card logo has been adjusted a little bit. It really does 591 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.440 give it sounds like not too much and not really that big of a difference, 592 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:52.400 but it actually looks beautiful. But it's very interesting to see a company 593 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:57.119 this late in the design process. The stuff's coming out on the fifteenth, 594 00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:00.039 and they made those changes, like now, Grant and I know they've had 595 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:04.440 the change is done for a long time. They listen to them as soon 596 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:08.199 as they put the mock ups out. But this is pretty cool to see, 597 00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:13.880 ye, to see someone tweak a design based on customer feedback. Oh 598 00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.079 no, I I agree, um, And you know, props the tops 599 00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:20.320 for you know absolute, you know, going through and kind of doing that, 600 00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.159 all right, So I kind of want to go through the rest of 601 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:25.320 the month and pick out some highlights here. So the seventeenth, we've got 602 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:30.000 twenty twenty two, twenty three Don Ross basketball coming out. That's always a 603 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.719 popular product. Twenty second, we've got twenty twenty two Bowman Inception baseball. 604 00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:40.840 Phoenix football is coming out on the twenty second, as well as Prison Premier 605 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:45.559 League soccer, which should be a fun product. We've got also Rookie and 606 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:52.000 Stars football is coming out, and Goodwin Champions Yeah, it's coming out that 607 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.159 day as well as Revolution Soccer. There's a lot of stuff on here that 608 00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:59.519 I was excited about, um, and then you know there's some other smaller 609 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:01.360 products and things like that they're coming out. But there's something that I notice 610 00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:06.800 that does not have a date yet. It is just kind of sitting in 611 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:12.000 there as February twenty twenty three to be determined. This is a good one 612 00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.239 because we talked a little bit about Upper Deck and their delays and things like 613 00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.960 that. We made one of twenty one twenty two Synergy coming out in twenty 614 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.599 twenty three. Well, at some point this month, Cup is going to 615 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:27.239 be making its return. Yes, but this is from the wait wait, 616 00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:31.280 wait for it, the twenty twenty one season, and it has been delayed 617 00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:35.639 almost every single time it's been put on the calendar. So I we were 618 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.639 talking about over unders earlier, I think you have to put an over under 619 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.800 on if this does get released in February. Well, I think since they 620 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.199 have it as the TBD, I think that it probably will. This is 621 00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.679 not Yeah, it's one of those things. It's like, you know, 622 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:52.760 we think they're delayed. I don't even remember was it was that Kapperzovs rookie 623 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.000 year. Like I'm trying to figure out like who the you know, who 624 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:59.360 the Chase rookie right of that product, And hopefully they've been sitting on a 625 00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.840 lot of the stuff for a while. And I hope so, because if 626 00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:06.719 not, I'll tell you the next three years of Upper Deck stuff once they 627 00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:10.679 get to those products are gonna be absolutely amazing because you know, they do 628 00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:16.840 things differently as opposed to massive redemptions. They just issue the cards in random 629 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:22.400 sets later on once the cards are done, and so well, but they 630 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.320 do they do do redemption right. But I'm saying for the most part, 631 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:31.239 I mean, almost every set has, every big set has hundreds of cards 632 00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.679 from previous releases that people didn't even know we're gonna be on the checklist that 633 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:42.760 ended up, yeah, finally becoming part of the checklist. So maybe these 634 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:46.039 delays make these next few years amazing. I don't know. Well, it's 635 00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.280 usually you know stuff, it's SP Authentic and SP Game US that usually have 636 00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:57.400 the yeah yeah, yeah, the updates for other sets from previous years. 637 00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.719 So that's possible. But they're just gonna put this out there. You're releasing 638 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:07.000 a product from the twenty twenty to twenty twenty one season in February of twenty 639 00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.039 twenty three. Not only that, you're your highest N set. Yes, 640 00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:15.840 But here's where I'm going with this. They're better not be a single redemption. 641 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:21.960 Oh no, because two, you know, you're basically releasing it two 642 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:29.239 years late. Yeah, and there's no excuse to not have those cards back 643 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.119 and live in the product. There. I'm going to scream from the top 644 00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.119 of the rooftops. If I see redemptions coming out of that product, yes, 645 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.559 no, no, no, one one redemption nite of that product, 646 00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:45.159 and that's that's a massive, massive failed by a productive you. If you 647 00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:51.400 decide to not scrap the product and you're going to put it out this late, 648 00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:54.039 you better did it right. Yep. Absolutely, this should be Every 649 00:45:54.119 --> 00:46:00.559 autograph is live. Yes, there's no reason for a two year late product 650 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:06.519 to come out with redemptions in them. Yeah, or any issues period like 651 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:08.360 you know, missing cut autos, things like that, whatever it is. 652 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:13.000 You know, get it right, guys, it's two years. But yeah, 653 00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:16.000 February, man, absolutely, it's a stacked month. I mean, 654 00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:20.840 if you look at it, February really is a pretty stacked month. You've 655 00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.719 got a lot of great stuff. We mentioned a lot of it. There's 656 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:30.000 also some really good online exclusives. I'm interested to see the tops Wander Franco 657 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:35.480 sets. I like those Tops cross Player sets. I've taken in for a 658 00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.559 gemmant a lot of the autographs from previous sets, and I think they're really 659 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:43.880 cool looking and I'm interested to see some of the some of the new sets. 660 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:46.960 I'm glad to see Zenith Football back. Zenis was something I grew up 661 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:53.599 with, and so I'm actually really excited for Zenith because it looks a little 662 00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.880 a little updated obviously, but it does look like they kept some of the 663 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:04.199 original feel to it and they do have some throwbacks, and so that was 664 00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.639 a set that was very near and dear to me as a kid. Well, 665 00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.320 in the last couple of years, hasn't that Zenith has been part of 666 00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:14.440 Chronicles, right, Yes, they've had it's been part of a they've had 667 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:21.639 just the bass cards and it's been a retail exclusive in hanger packs last year, 668 00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:23.800 I believe, and I don't know what it was the previous year, 669 00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:28.599 but it's been a short print subset where you get like four of those per 670 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.400 pack, you know what I mean. And it was just the basic Zenith 671 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.400 brand. But now you're getting a full on, extended release, which I'm 672 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.599 happy about. It might not, you know, command the most money in 673 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:45.400 the entire world, but it's going to be a good load to mid end 674 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.800 product. But it brings that nostalgia factor back for me. Yeah, you 675 00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:54.440 know. And if they utilize the old school foil and the beautiful foil and 676 00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:59.800 things that Zenith was known for they could have another massive hit on their hands. 677 00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:04.719 I'm excited to see Zenith and a couple other really interesting products come out. 678 00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:10.920 But February definitely a stat month in the in the release date calendar. 679 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:15.840 Yeah, I'm excited to see, you know, how some of these products 680 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.079 do, and yeah, you know the stuff that comes out of them. 681 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:21.480 So we'll have to keep an eye on that as the month goes along. 682 00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:24.000 Absolutely well, guys, we will update you every single month, Like we 683 00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:28.800 said at the beginning of every month, we'll take a look at what's coming 684 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:32.079 up, give you guys a give you guys a little breakdown and prepare you 685 00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:37.039 for what you can see on letter rip and what you can go to the 686 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.079 stores and buy. And in February, it looks like you're gonna have quite 687 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:45.440 a bit to choose from. Absolutely, And now that we're talking about February's 688 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.760 release calendar, that means January is done. Yeah. And for those of 689 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.880 you the follow soccer, you realize that January, Hey, it's one of 690 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.880 the two transfer windows throughout the year. Players can't move teams aside from during 691 00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:00.480 two months out of the year. Right this month, there were some big 692 00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:06.400 moves that I want to touch on briefly, because these guys you're gonna want 693 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.199 to keep an eye on from a hobby standpoint, because they have moved to 694 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:15.079 bigger leagues or bigger teams or you know, they're getting They're gonna wind up 695 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:19.559 with more exposure based on where they're at, and chasing down their stuff is 696 00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.440 probably going to be a smart move at this point. Oh yeah. The 697 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:29.320 biggest move so far or not so far. The biggest move in January was 698 00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:32.199 happening in the last couple of days of the month, and that was Enzo 699 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:38.719 Fernandez. Argentinian national had an amazing World Cup this year. He was playing 700 00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:45.079 with Benfica, which I believe is a Portuguese Portuguese team. He made the 701 00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:51.760 move to Chelsea. Yeah, league, there's a bump that there's a big 702 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:54.920 bump. Yeah. I am really excited to see what he does against Premier 703 00:49:55.000 --> 00:50:00.760 League competition. Me too. You know, Benfica has been a relative staple 704 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.800 team in the Champions League oh yeah, years. But you know, so 705 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:09.239 he's gotten he's gotten play, you know, experience against top teams. But 706 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:13.880 now he's moving over to the top league. Yeah, and it's gonna be 707 00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:15.840 it's gonna be a huge to see what he's able to do and if he's 708 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:20.800 able to help Chelsea move up the table, because right now they're sitting outside 709 00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:24.119 of European competition and they need to help. Yeah, it's not a good 710 00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:30.639 look for them. A couple other ones. Joel Felix got loaned from Athletico 711 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.400 Madrid to Chelsea and his first game immediately got a red card and got suspended 712 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:42.320 for three games. Yeah, yeah, Joel Felix has a ton of cards 713 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.079 that are out there. Yeah. And don't get me wrong, the La 714 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:49.519 Liga is probably the number two league in Europe as far as talent goes and 715 00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:53.320 competition. I don't see that big of a bump coming around for him, 716 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:58.519 but they're worldwide. There is a lot more people following Chelsea than there are 717 00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:04.119 following Athletico Madrid. And he's had he's always had that that collector base in 718 00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.119 the soccer market. Yes, guys, sorry to disappoint all you soccer haters. 719 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:13.199 The market still existence doing great, huh. But he's always had a 720 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.639 decent following in a decent amount of supporters that want to see him succeed. 721 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:22.360 Yeah. And so if he does and Chelsea does have that resurgence, I 722 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:24.840 could see him, Like you said, it's not gonna it's not gonna five 723 00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:30.480 hundred percent and brock Purty overnight, but he's gonna he's gonna have, you 724 00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:32.599 know, a solid increase. Yeah, no, I would agree. And 725 00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.159 then the last one as far as Chelsea goes, is Mikhelo Mudrich who came 726 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.920 over from Shock Tar Dunetsk and frankly, I'm surprised that team is still playing 727 00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.440 right now because right in the middle of a fricking war zone. But he 728 00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:50.920 went over to Chelsea earlier in the month, played a couple of games already 729 00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:53.960 and he's been fairly solid. Cody Gackpo moving from PSB to Liverpool, we 730 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:57.199 talked about that earlier in the month. I think, yeah, so he 731 00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:59.800 does not have a lot of cards out there, Nope, Once he does, 732 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.360 I think it's going to be a huge thing. Georgino, that's a 733 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:06.360 big This is a big thing. That's a pretty big move from Chelsea to 734 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:09.239 Arsenal. If they if Arsenal can hang on and win the Premier League, 735 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:13.639 I think it's gonna be a you know, and Georgino plays well, I 736 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.760 think that's gonna be a big bump for him. Two younger guys that you 737 00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:22.920 probably haven't heard of. Paul Unachum Scolling his name right, went from Genk 738 00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.639 to Southampton. Yeah, he's I can't remember if he's the twenty one year 739 00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:29.679 old or the twenty year old, but he's been a solid player. And 740 00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:35.440 then also to Southampton. We've got Camaldeine Sulamana from Rennis to Southampton. He 741 00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:38.400 actually played a couple of games in the World Cup for Ghana and I believe 742 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:42.440 that it's either it's one of the two of them have played nineteen games, 743 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:46.719 scored sixteen goals with their respective teams and so far this season, I'm looking 744 00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:50.800 for big things out of them. Now, those are two. Those are 745 00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:54.199 two of the guys that you're gonna be seeing most of the hype on and 746 00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:59.639 some of the big big when cards come out, when some of these upcoming 747 00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:02.679 sad or put out this year, a lot of those sets are going to 748 00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:06.519 be leaning on those two names. Well, but here's the thing, so, 749 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:09.719 uh, Prism Premier League is coming out this month. Yeah, I 750 00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:15.320 don't. I don't think any of these have been done, you know, 751 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:17.280 I think all like none of the guys from the January transfer window, we're 752 00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.000 going to make it into that product. No, it's gonna take it's gonna 753 00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:25.039 be late in the year before. Yeah. Um, now you may see 754 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:30.800 tops chrome Uefa. Yeah, they may be in there in time for that, 755 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:32.880 especially with Enzo Fernandez. He'll be in there with ben you know, 756 00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.360 regardless, probably with Benfica. Yes, hopefully they can get an update in 757 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:40.800 time and get him a Chelsea kid. But there's another one. Actually, 758 00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:43.960 there's two more that I had on my list here. One of them is 759 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:46.960 a wild weg Horsed moving to manu That should be a you know, that 760 00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:52.119 should be good from a say he had a great World Cup with the Netherlands. 761 00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:53.599 And here's the one. Here's the one that was so under the radar 762 00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.400 that I just wanted to throw out there. And there's a guy that we 763 00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:00.480 we should have been talking about for years and years and years, especially being 764 00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:06.239 one of the few Americans playing in the top level. Weston McKinney moved from 765 00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:12.119 Juventus to Leeds. Yeah, and that's a big one because Juventus just got 766 00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.199 charged with the whole bunch of you know, potential financial crimes. They were 767 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:19.719 doctriteing points in the you know, in the league. So they are no 768 00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.880 longer really in contention to be playing in the Champions League or the Europa League 769 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.559 or even the Europa Conference League next year. Yeah, you know, And 770 00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:30.519 granted I don't think Leads is either, but no, but this gives McKinney 771 00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:36.320 a chance to also shine. He could end up really shining there and having 772 00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:40.280 the spotlight on him. I don't think people expect him to win championships, 773 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:45.800 but he's gonna get the PT he's gonna get the starters, he's gonna get 774 00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:51.440 the opportunities, and he's gonna finally have that spotlight on him, and that 775 00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.280 could do wonders for someone like you said, in the soccer world, we 776 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:59.079 should have been paying attention to and you would think we would have been talking 777 00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:01.920 about for a couple years. No, exactly, even even with Leads being 778 00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:06.400 a mid to low table team, he's going to get a lot more exposure 779 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.000 there than he was getting at Juventus. You know, we're moving to a 780 00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:14.480 team that gets a lot of TV time, that is playing in the top 781 00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:17.199 professional league in the world, you know, from basically the third you know, 782 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.119 number three or number four professional league. I think I loved I'd love 783 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.119 to see it, and I'm happy as hell for for Western McKinney. No, 784 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.280 me too. I'm I expect big things out of him. I hope 785 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:32.039 so I got some awesome cards. I'd love for him to finally hit that 786 00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:37.239 potential too. But um now, I love Weston McKinney obviously US boys, 787 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.400 so you know, hopefully everything works out for him. But way under the 788 00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:46.360 radar move that could provide some major hobby dividends. But guys, definitely take 789 00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:50.519 a listen to some of those names. I know some of maybe unfamiliar to 790 00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.599 you, but I highly suggest doing some researches. Those are some moves right 791 00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:59.800 there that could really alter some teams and some players at least in terms of 792 00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:05.679 the hobby their value going forward. So very interesting into January and a very 793 00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:08.599 interesting transfer month, that's for sure. Ye all right, y'all, I 794 00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:12.199 think what do you think, Scott? Probably a good time to wrap up 795 00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:15.440 today's show.
