You r right Scott mookie is probably going 2 b a 1st ballot hof. Awesome player does everything well. Great show guys. Hopefully he's not on the shelf for very long
Chris here - Mookie has been great for almost 10 years now. Hobby was just taking notice! Hopefully a couple big October moments are in his future. Thanks for watching!
Mookie betts market is very unique. Most ppl don’t realize or talk about. He doesn’t get the hobby love attention he deserves bc of the lack of cards out there. He hasn’t signed anything outside of 2015. (Maybe 2016 in panini). Having said that, this also shows how undervalued his cards are, bc he only has a handful of cards/autos etc. trout, Ohtani, judge and few others have plenty of cards out there. Tons of autos etc which keeps them all relevant and also makes there top cards/autos even more desirable. Not sure if I’m explaining it right but the lack of cards hurts mookies market but also shows how undervalued his rookie and autos are.
“Hey dad, did you collect Soto and Betts when they were playing?” “No, I calculated it was optimal to buy players who retired before your grandfather was born”
I'm confused. I must be ignorant of the trends. If Mookie is an all-timer, fan-fav, then why would missing a few months hurt him, particularly for Scotty, who is a long-term Mookie Collector.
Chris here - any time out of the spotlight can be bad for the cards. Plus he’ll miss out on stats. Missing two prime year months is never good. These are big stat accumulation years.
I agree with Chris. Its absolutely ridiculous seeing some scrub pitcher try and impress others and ends up breaking Betts' wrist. He was on my fantasy team too, so i was mad also. No excuse to hit batters. I know it happens, but you have one job to throw the ball over the plate.
I’m with you Phil, everytime I consider buying vintage, I just money into my retirement funds instead. Better returns. I prefer the excitement of watching the guys I collect
I just last week bought the 1958 World Series Batting Foes in an SGC 3 as I fill out my Hank Aaron flagship collection from his Milwaukee days. Grew up with my dad telling me stories of listening to the Braves on the radio. Vintage collecting is all about sentimental value and history...and as people get older, it only makes sense people go towards vintage. I'm only in my 30s though! 😅
Chris here - I get that. Truly. When I think about what’s nostalgic for me it’s the early/mid 80’s sets with those great designs. I’ve also always loved the 75 set design so maybe that’s a place I can start. Congrats on your Aaron/Mays pick up. It’s an amazing card.
Looks like the Yankees caught a huge break tonight after Judge got hit almost in the same exact spot as Mookie but they just said x-rays and CT scans both came back negative.
You said it best... vintage is best, but ultramodern is fun...can I borrow that quote...good show fellas, don't feel bad, I been watching my Braves since the early 90's (technically late 80's but all I remember from that was my Dad cussing at the screen)...and I'm an Acuna & MH-ll guy...it's gonna be okay. Hope Mookie recovers, but it's against my baseball morals to pull for the Dodgers.. y'all understand. Great Show...PS Still love Bonds, but Hank's my guy. Great Show. Go Braves⚾🔥
@@SpitballinCards Ozuna might be near identical with ohtani in HR, RBI, AVG and OPS which i would be surprised if Ozuna keeps this up, but I’m not ruling it out. But if Ohtani gets the 40/40 season he’s on pace for or really close to it and the Dodgers have a much better record than atlanta, which i think is probable. It would be hard to give it to Ozuna.
I know I’m a Yankees fan, but Verdugo has been amazing defensively. Last I knew he led all players with defensive WAR thus far. He’s in-line to be an all-star (along with Judge and Soto). Also, the Yankees pitching staff, especially starters, are towards the top of the stats. Excited to see Cole start! Volpe is a rising ⭐️
Chris here - this is Verdugo’s 4th straight year being essentially a league average hitter, or slightly higher. That’s the upside. Yankees have one of thinking exciting young outfielders in the game in AAA. Plus Dominguez can play center and save judge’s body a bit. Just my opinion. Fun season to be a Yankee fan!
@@SpitballinCards I know this, but I’m saying he’s been amazing defensively. I am very excited for The martian and Spencer Jones for the future. I don’t anticipate for Verdugo will be staying after this year because of that and they want to pay Soto.
This comment is for chris…..start bowman prospecting ! Keeps you in that analytical baseball mindset and never chase the big guys on release. So many guys are so undervalued that have so much room to grow. And if u lose…$10 bowman autos of some nobody hurt a lot less than investing thousands into some of the stars now and losing on injuries or off the field issues. Just kind of a cheaper fun way to collect and hope for the future with some of these young international/HS guy bowman autos. I may be wrong but when trouts bowman stuff came out he wasnt a chase at all. Very lowkey prospect at that time
I enjoy listening to you guys! The best modern channel IMO. I’m more of a vintage collector and primarily a 1st ballot HOF collector. When I buy modern it’s largely based on speculation. And when I buy modern I tend to go after base cards because I don’t have the patience to track and research all the parallels. I mainly just enjoy the game, stats, and your conversations. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions.
Good stuff guys! If you're glad Betts is hurt, simply put...you're not a baseball fan. Also re:2021...don't forget Tatis was tearing it up and was neck/neck with Harper until the last month or so.
Nah, no trouble at all, no impact at all. His injury is a broken wrist, so they know it will heal unlike a hidden muscle tear.... He'll be back in time for the playoffs....
Half way through watching this, Judge gets plunked in the same manner as Betts and leaves the game. Can someone please rewind / Ctl Alt Delete / blow on the game cartridge that is the 2024 season and restart? Effin hell.
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Quick question some say base even rookies junk but getting to be lots of fake cards out there. Baseball not as bad but what's your thought on buying expensive cards. Just saw 23k card on ebay beckett and ebay certified but was fake so what do you buy. Heard lot about fake jerry rice rookie cards
You guys!!!!! You guys are like a group of dudes talking about the hot girl in high school that moved away!!! The first guy even went out with her and she didn't "put out!!!" Seriously though........great show.
This is the main reason why i dont pay over 50 for a psa 10 of a player i like. Counter point is that i bought his chrome rookie psa 10 like a month ago but he's one of my top tier favorite players so its not like im losing on a major PC card
Bitcoin is better on the long term than any one baseball player. I don’t own bitcoin but YoY it’s up 143% and is/will always be a safe haven for billionaires to hide and launder their money. But I also just collect I don’t flip lol
I spent 7 years in the btc mining world. Building large mining facilities, tons of power and cooling. If you want some insights into how prices work and what drives the value, let me know. FYI, the next peak will be around $150k to $180k later this year or mid next year. After that it will drop 80% to between $30k and $40k, thats when you buy and hold for 4 years.
Great chats guys. Been watching every time you put up a new one. Excellent topics 👍 thanks for making these videos

Chris here - you make a good point. No on card autos for topps since 2014.
They seem really undervalued to me!
“Hey dad, did you collect Soto and Betts when they were playing?”
“No, I calculated it was optimal to buy players who retired before your grandfather was born”
Lol, love this
😂😂😂 - well said
😂
Dude in the braves jersey was near tears. I imagine he cried when the new Star Wars was released as well.
Lolol

It’s been a rough year.
I am however, NOT a star wars guy. Ask me about Lord of the Rings and you might get a different answer.

It’s infuriating. Just some
Shit luck for Betts, the dodgers, and baseball fans.
Mookie is way better in my opinion than Harper. Mookie up until now has always been healthy. Still a great show guys
Chris here - Mookie is definitely the better player, but that doesn’t mean his cards will have greater demand.
I’m with you Phil, everytime I consider buying vintage, I just money into my retirement funds instead. Better returns. I prefer the excitement of watching the guys I collect
Indeed. Index funds/ETFs are the way. I make reference to ETFs in one of the ensuing videos.
@@Philmington nice! Love ETF funds.

Opens up another potential MVP for ohtani. He’s currrently the vegas favorite at +165 and Bryce Harper is his only competition.
Chris here - exactly. They’re definitely the front runners but what if Ozuna outhits Ohtani???
@@SpitballinCards Ozuna might be near identical with ohtani in HR, RBI, AVG and OPS which i would be surprised if Ozuna keeps this up, but I’m not ruling it out.

@@SpitballinCards Ozuna's a great hitter, but I can't stand cowards that beat women.
Now Judge gets hit by some scrub in the hand and it didn’t look good… I’m pissed…
Looks like his X-ray was clean. No breaks. Thankfully!!
@@SpitballinCards Some good news for baseball fans!
Chris was thinking Sale. I can tell he didn’t want to jinx his season haha
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Tomorrow's episode~ "Aaron judge is hurt .. are his cards worth a crap?"
crazy
He's like Mike Trout. No issue at all.
Watching this as Judge gets plunked in the hand. LMAO
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
😅
And now Trent Grisham is in.
Chris here - he’ll be fine. I didn’t buy any Judge!
@@SpitballinCards thank God!
Good time for me to buy more Betts RCs, dude is still going to the HOF 😂😂😂
Chris here - I like how you think. Long term his card should be fine!
Live in Nashville and from here so I’ve always been a Mookie Betts supporter sucks to see a local guy go down like that
I know I’m a Yankees fan, but Verdugo has been amazing defensively. Last I knew he led all players with defensive WAR thus far. He’s in-line to be an all-star (along with Judge and Soto).

I am curious what sealed you guys would recommend for sealed saving. Base, Chrome, bowman chrome, etc... ? maybe a future video>..

This is why you invest in Chief Bender cards

@@BringingTheHeat-VBC 😂😂
@@SpitballinCards It was cool that you took time out of your podcast to show him. I really appreciated it!
He could retire today and is still a HoF player. It’s fine
Tell that to my fantasy baseball teams! 🤣😭
Chris here - he could but he’s got a shot at some all time big numbers. I’d love to see him here to a couple milestones.
Pitchers shouldn't be allowed to pitch inside to my favorite players.
💯
Nah, no trouble at all, no impact at all. His injury is a broken wrist, so they know it will heal unlike a hidden muscle tear.... He'll be back in time for the playoffs....
Chris were - let me get my sarcasm detector
Never jnvest in this nee stuff just bought a 66 bobby orr i sleep well.love the channel
Chris here - nice Orr!
I loved hockey as a kid. I’ve thought about getting into vintage hockey.
Judge got hit on the pinky today and thank God the CT and X-ray were negative. Still, Chris… please don’t buy any Judge. Jk 😂
Chris here - no judge cards for me. That’s why X-rays were negative!
Mookie could lose a limb and would still be back before Trout 🥴
Chris here - sadly you might be right. Report came today that trouts recovery is going slower than expected. The poor guy…

Always sucks to see a star get hurt. It's never good for the game.
Just like Aaron Judge cards it’s tough to regain traction. Even if Mookie comes back guns blazing his cards will never be the same.
Betts has great career numbers as it is. A couple months won’t wreck him. What he really needs is a big October!
I just got back 5 moodier RC from grading too
Idk.. I'd like to see Mookie wear hand protection when batting. He gets hit again could be worse next time. And nobody wants that.
Chris here - I bet he will from
Now on!
Is Scottie B’s powder blue background a Father’s Day parallel?
Oof Rockies fan. Teo sends his regards...
Don’t worry guys, J Rod will be healthy until I’m able to buy a few of his big cards in the offseason.
