Great video as usual guys. Chris. I had the same “curse” of buying a player who promptly got injured. So now. I wait UNTIL they get injured, and then buy post crash…hoping for that wonderful rebound when they take the field again. I do the same with my fantasy dynasty league, and have Acura, Ohtani and Dominguez for cheap.
Great video. Looking to buy a soto shuffle. One is the 2020 stadium club. The other one is 2022 topps gilded soto. Would love to know which one in your opinions is better. Thanks.
2020 Stadium Club chrome is the much better card. Earlier. Better image. Works Series Image. If you can find a reasonably priced one, don’t let it get away!
Hi chris & jeff, I have a freddie freeman 1/1 from a hobby box 2014 topps alan ginter came in a clear celophane wrapper, never opened. probably one my best cards. i know how much you guys like ff.
The B/W images are awesome. ? Looking to buy a card one is a RC debut black /74. The other one is a 35th anniversary insert auto black /199. I like both what one in your opinions would hold value? The auto is about $50 more 🤙🏻
What year is the auto? Is it a rookie as well? Chris here - I'm leaning auto. I love those retro autos - assuming it's ON CARD! No stickers. If it's on card, go auto!
In your opinions, what do you believe to be the qualifications of an SP or SSP? Does it have to be called SSP by Topps specifically? Different serial number? Different image? Because technically a red parallel is a super short printed card. And EBAY always get this wrong I feel
We generally agree with Topps. We consider SP/SSP to be the same card design but a different image. Low numbered parallels and inserts are indeed short printed and even super short printed, but we don't consider them SUPER SHORT PRINTS. I hope that makes sense.
@ that’s where I’m at too. What would you rather have? An orange /25 of flagship RC of a player, or a SSP RC with different RC image of only 25 copies?
I agree WAR is a good metric, but shouldn't be over relied on. Dave Parker at age 34, 1985 Season had a WAR of 4.7 He played 160 games - 198 hits, 42 doubles, 34 HR's, 125 RBI, OPS+ 149 Dave Parker at age 35, 1986 season had a WAR of .3 He played 162 games - 174 hits, 31 doubles, 31 HR's, 116 RBI, OPS+ 117 If you just looked at WAR, you would think he fell off a cliff from 1985 to 1986. Didn't see him play in his prime, so I don't have much of an opinion on him being truly worthy or not. He does seem like the perfect Veteran's committee type pick though. He is still Alive BTW, 73 yrs old. He was suspended in an MLB Cocaine scandal in 1986 though "The Pittsburgh Trials", so the "Character Clause" for the HOF is pretty wishy washy it seems. Joe Mauer's 2010 Bowman Chrome is a sweet image as well.
That's a great WAR example. it's a good starting point for comparisons, but always needs more context. And YES!! The 2010 Mauer is so good - that's the one where he's diving to tag a foot, right?
If they used the ct scanner to only verify the right cards are in there i'm fine with that but we all know human nature it will not just stop there. I hope topps/fantics figure out something they can wrap the boxes with so the scanner can't see thru it.
I don't think Verlander or BMac should be punished for others cheating. We gonna not let anyone join the HoF if they had a teammate doping bc they should have known and stopped it? It's a slippery slope to say individuals have a responsibility to enforce their teammates not to cheat. Nah. Bmac and Verlander need to be judged by their individual accomplishment
Thank you for the shout out, guys!
Our pleasure! Great post!
Love the show!
@@joshuahalickman1292 Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Pleasure.
Another great show gentlemen!!
Thanks for watching!! 🍻🍻
All the theme songs are great but I really think this intro one takes the cake. I sing it to myself far too often randomly throughout the days.
Hahaha - I’m thrilled to hear that because I sing it so constantly, it may be cited in a divorce filing.
Best intro song in the game
💯 Our band really delivered for us.

Love the fantasy strategy! (and the card strategy)
I held on late into the night, only so I could help you pronounce toque. Great show none the less.
🤣 Appreciate your service 🤝

Chris here - sounds like a sick card! Great pull!
Jeff, have you ever worked with Nolan North? I played little league with him :) great voice actor.
Nice! I have not, but man what a resume. My kids LOVED Blaze when they were really young! Incredibly talented guy.

@ thanks for responding Chris. Yes Rookie 2024. On card series 2.
That’s what I thought
Did you guys see Neo cards and his show about Topps adding CT scanning to their "Don't do".
Yes we did. We actually just posted a video on SPITBALLIN' CARDS with our thoughts on it.
It doesn;t mean much at this point. Just threats.

Bryce Hyper is a Dapper Dan Man, what movie is that from ?
😂 “O, Brother…”

This is exactly how I feel. Putting a lot of faith in a hobby that has shown a propensity for not always doing the right thing.
I need to leave another comment just to validate your rage about the EBay ended listing BS. Couldn't be more frustrating.
THANK YOU!!!!!
It kills me. Kills me!!!!

That's totally fair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. Clubhouse culture can be tricky.
