Tucson Sports Station yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey, welcome back to the ball here on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. You're Dave Silber. You're one
with breaking news.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
This is Eye on the Ball, breaking news on Fox
Sports fourteen fifty.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Happy Tuesday to everyone out there. Mihito Lindo back from
more breaking news. Noah Fafida has been named to the
Johnny United Golden Arm Award watch LISTA good good.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Of a lot of awards for him so far in
the preseason with the Maxwell quarterback. There's a couple of
different ones right that he's already APOLOGI the year resion.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, it's funny because he's not even the top ten
in the conference.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Apparently there's a bunch of Big twelve quarterbacks. I think
on this United.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Ten of the twelve wo ten of twelve wow or
I guess sixteen?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, still forget I know it's no it says nine
of nine of the Big twelve quarterbacks are on the
United's award, at least according to the Tucson dot Com story.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
But that's pretty cool, you guys, talked about the Little
League World Series happening right now.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Some scores.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
At the bottom of the fifth Santa Cruz, Aruba is
leading Vancouver, Canada five to one. Earlier today you had
Irmo South Carolina beating Honolulu Hawaii three zero and Tokyo
Japan beating Chihuahua, Mexico six zero.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So they down to a certain amountain of teams. You
don't know they're still playing the round robin. Yeah, I
think they're still. I think there's gonna be eight after
maybe today or tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I haven't been following. I just yeah. I mean it's
like every time you turn it on game, he's doing
this for Blake Eager, that's all. Yeah, I miss my guy, Blake.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Diamondbacks have lost their fourth straight after last night's lost
to the Guardians three to one.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Did you see that.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Interview with Uh, Well, we talked about this a couple
of day ago, days ago, when they were the kid
came in and depended his shortstop or.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Tell you I didn't see it? Did he was it
on video?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
It was on Twitter where you find everything, right. Yeah,
And then yesterday I guess, uh the coach the manager
came up and kind of defended everybody, and you know
they want to move on from this although of course,
but you could kind of tell if they're on a
four game streak or loosen streak, things are a miss
well all right.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, especially when a couple of were against the Rockies,
who were terrible. They walked off the Dodgers last night,
so they're on a little little four game winning streak themselves,
I think. But yeah, it's been a super up and
down year for the Diamondbacks. You just never know. It's
like some days they can hit and they can't pitch,
some days they can pitch and they can't hit. It's
kind of why they're why they are who they are.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
They We had Robert Colin yesterday or Robert called in
and kind of debated with with, uh my boy, here,
what's his name? Troy? Troy, and Robert's kind of right,
you know, it's team. You can kind of sense. It's
what they usually do.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Though they have a little run in the post postseason, uh,
not live up to expectations the next season, then implode following.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, it's just I mean, I understand, you know, salaries
and whatever or a big part of the game, but
just it seemed like they just give up a lot
every once in a while, like giving up basically, you know,
all the power on the on the first basement, with
the first basement, the third basement, and then they bring
in guys who are you know, either you know, very young,
very inexperienced, and you know, as a fan, it's just
difficult to watch. It's like, wait a minute, we have

(03:33):
a guy who's like one of the top power hitters
in baseball playing third base, and then you know, in
Soarez and they send him off to Seattle. Then they
send it, you know, Josh Naylor off to Seattle. So
every you know, if you're following the team, it's hard
to you know, root for him.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Sometimes yeah, yeah, well look at and look what Milwaukee's
doing with a bunch of guys just du Sometimes.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
The chemistry is there and there's a magic in a season,
and that's kind.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Of what Milwaukee's exactly. We've seen it in a number
of times tape. You know, good teams not do so well,
and teams that you don't expect to do really well happens.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
All the time.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
He did have I guess an apology type of moment,
but pointed towards being frustrated and in a bad spot Martine, Yes, yesterday,
yesterday afternoon. I think maybe it possibly after the game,
but he did point towards being frustrated and in a
bad spot after he learned that his his residence in

(04:29):
Scottsdale had been burglarized. Oh, during the All Star break.
He's had I mean he's had some things. I mean
his mom has died and things like that. But then
you know, then the the story, the robbery story, it
was like, what was that forty dollars? I mean it
was a huge number in that loss. Five time All
Star John Wall has retired from the NBA after eleven seasons.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I think he had well, you know, okay, his
career not a great one.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
But my first comment when I saw that this morning
was like, didn't you retire like years ago?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
When is the last time you played? Who was he with?
I believe he was with the Clippers. Wow, see did
you remember that? I thought he was like still with
maybe with Sacramento or somebody.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
He was with the obviously with the Wizards for a
long period of time, went and played for the Houston
Rockets and then Clippers. I'm sure he'll retire Washington with Wizards,
where he played most of his career. He did say, however,
he's retired, but never done, so I'm sure he'll be
sticking around in some sort of media capacity.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Possible twenty twenty two maybe the last time he's played,
and he hasn't retired in three more years. Nice Wizards, Yeah,
basically like you said, Wizards, Rockets, clips.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Pacers have signed their head coach with Carlisle to a
multi year extension, and given that Greg Papovich is now
retired and top Thibodeau was fired by the Knicks, he
is now the oldest active head coach in the NBA.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
He had a good run this year, that's for sure.
Fun to watch the Pacers.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I tried to keep TJ McConnell on here and didn't
hear back, not from him but from the organization.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, those guys, who knows what they do in the summer.
But you could probably get them, you know, before the
season starts.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Maybe maybe if they respond to my request.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Who Steve River Tucson where t J would know you?

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't have.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
The Colts have named Daniels Jones their starting quarterback over
Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Who the Garden? Who the colt?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, well, richards you trust that guy. He's hurt every
other day. You got hurt last week when don't they played?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Did he come out? Revolving door of quarterbacks in the NFL,
It's like you've either got a really good one or
you're bringing in guys that aren't you know, haven't done anything.
Like how many years was he with the Giants and
they not very good for him? Do you know I
have about one good season?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Do you have the running back from the Redskins or
the Generals or who they're called commanders?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yes? Uh, Cory Krossky Marry. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
He his team did loose to the Bengals thirty one seventeen,
but he had a pretty good night eleven carries forty
six yards and a touchdown twenty seven yards.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
They're saying he might be the starting running back. Yeah,
beart what he was here and couldn't get an eligible
played one game? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I mean he and I don't know you feel about
this one because you're probably closer to it than me,
but he was a huge factor in that first year
for for for Red could have been had he been available,
there could have been two more wins.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Percent and that that was the talk of the town
washing him play last night, a lot of oh what
could have been for the Arizona Wildcats if they had
that no eligibility issues.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
People were talking about on the broadcast.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
No, no, well I'm sure it was like very lightly
mentioned about his ineligibility.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, mishap and stuff. I mean a lot of these,
especially with the NFL. You know, guys just emerge and
you're wondering, like, where where does this guy from? Who
he played for? And he's kind of a perfect example,
you know, not didn't even play. Basically you're in New
Mexico than he is from here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
The preseason finale starts on Thursday, Steelers going up against
the Panthers more than likely won't see t mac on
that still kind of hubbly. Yeah, I'm stream just maybe
getting him ready for the regular season or the starting
quarterback for the Steelers. Mister, mister Rogers, Rogers, he's not
gonna play, not going to take any snaps in preseason,

(08:25):
which I guess one of your whatever age he is
probably a good idea.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
How would you feel if you're a teammate though all
this and you know, you know, he's just full of
full of drama anyway, So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Talked about Ohio State naming their successor to their championship
quarterback yesterday, but Notre Dame the runner up his name,
red shirt freshman C. J. Carr their starting quarterback earlier today.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Isn't that the first freshman to ever get the starting
role at Notre Dame. I think I was reading that today,
I believe so. Uh, maybe somewhere else there was some
true freshman I thought, maybe. I don't know. Yeah, it's
going to be a lot of movement in the next
two weeks with both college and pros. College games start

(09:13):
this weekend. There's a couple of you said big games.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, no, the Farma games real big farmer geddon in
in Ireland with the Iowa State in Kansas State.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, my big games were two weeks or.

Next week and then uh, Hawaii taking on Stanford four
point thirty just before the Indoor Football Championship.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then what you call no a dean I think
goreat news.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
For you the foundation. No, but I mean that's just incredible.
That's the biggest gift in modern modern history modern is
it specific for something? They're going to name the stadium
for him and all kinds of amenities. They're going to
change things up, They're going.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
To create jobs that will be that will be the
Desert Diamond Arizona Stadium.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, when's that coming? Who knows? It's the Dave Silver?
Were they talking about that at your big Tuesday meeting
last week?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're right, so just trying to get to the started.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
I'm sorry I missed that.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Between Hawana and I dropping a bar. Hey, we don't
talk about that, talk about that. B Yu has named
there and quarterback and Bear Bachmeyer. This this is the
the first true freshman starter.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
In b y u's history, and they're supposed to be
pretty good. He's gonna be wearing number forty seven. That's
about that for numbers.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Because because what's the catch, because he likes number forty
seven because they couldn't give him eleven.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
You know, that's what I was thinking of, just a rookie.
Well then there are you know their other quarterback left,
Jake Wrestlov went he went too too late?

Speaker 9 (11:30):
Good?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, yeah, and that that was that was after his ordeal,
I guess you could call it, and the pre planned
uh uh suspension. I think it was seven games he
was gonna oh yes, y yeah. So this this happened yesterday.
I didn't get to it. Texas Tech running back Quentin
Joyner is going to miss the rest of the season
with a knee injury. He's a transfer from usc UH

(11:53):
and he was projected there starting running back protection for
the Red Raider.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
They were supposed they were supposed to be good too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I'm sure with the money they've been finding with the
nil I'm sure there's someone right behind the next, next, next.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
There's a bag over there in the corner. Who can
we go poach now it's it's a chick filate bag
in August nineteenth.

the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
And what this happens Sunday?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I saw, yeah, but it was enough today that uh
there's a MCL tear on her right knee.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I'm sure a lot of people are upset about that,
and a lot of people are happy about that because
you know, she's kind of polarizing in terms of she's
a good player.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I like watching her and then the team.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
But you know, when you're like that or you know,
the tough, physical player, some players don't like you.

Speaker 8 (13:21):
Well.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Also, it's on the heels of her teammate Clark still
being out, so you know some of them are.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
She's added to a list of Area McDonald and Sidney
Colson who McDonald broke a bone in her foot and
then Colson had the ACL tear.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Yeah, so that Fever team has not been full strength.
And you know, Sophie Cuyneham is a big you know,
people know who she is, and obviously people know Caitlin Clark,
and the WNB kind of relies on the Stars at
this point. You know, I couldn't tell you who's the
best team right now, but we know who some of
the players are.

Speaker 3 (13:55):

Dream lead the East and the where Links lead in

Down all the xys at ohs. This is I on
the Ball with Steve Rivera on Box Sports fourteen fifty.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hey, welcome back to our of the ball here on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, good Dave Silver
with me Jejuana Control and now we have George Monies
from Showtime Cards.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
George, how you doing good?

Speaker 5 (18:58):
I'm doing well, guys. How are you?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
We're doing fine?

Speaker 5 (19:01):
What's uh?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
What's hot on the market today or this week?

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Well, you know, gaming cards are really hot, but sports
cards continue, like cards in general, trade up and down,
and you know, we see it kind of. You know,
it's like any market, whether it's real estate or equities,
goes up and down. But the last ten years has
been a tremendous ride. And he just got back from
the National Card convention in Chicago and Tom Brady was there.

(19:29):
He announced he's going to open up sixty stores in
the next five years. He's going to open a store
a month, and these are card shops.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Basically yeaheb did.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
You see what? What does he see the ball? What
does he see it?

Speaker 5 (19:46):
I guess the money.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
I don't know the money, probably the growth, but literally
it's he's already opened. I think he's on his fourth one.
He opened one there in Chicago while we were up there.
But it's called TB the TV Vault tom Brady Vault,
and it's basically collectible, you know, and he has a
lot of his own memorabilia, but primarily it's cards. So

(20:09):
if Tom Brady's getting in the business, it's I mean,
it's it's huge. I mean it's kind of a double
edged sword because it's it's nice that brings more attention
to our market, but at the same time we're going
to be competing against Tom Brady.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Is that going to come out of nowhere in your
world or did you kind of think something like that
is possible?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
You know?

Speaker 5 (20:31):
I kind of so.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
A guy by the name of Michael Rubin that owns Fanatics, Yeah,
bought Tops a couple of years ago, so he's well
connected with all these athletes. So you see the Michael
Rubin and Tom Brady connection, you know, and you could
see but it did I mean the whole that part
of it, him opening sixty stores was out of nowhere.

(20:54):
But I mean you could see something happening, you know.
But yeah, of course that was kind of a shocker.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
What's what's going on with you? You have something coming up?
We talked about that today.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
Uh huh, Yeah, we're gonna be doing uh so we're
gonna do start doing live breaks at Casino del Sol,
which is basically these group breaks where people we open
product which is cards on air and people get teams
random teams. They buy into it, and we're going to
start doing them live at the Casino del soul of
the sportsbook and even Budweisers into it, so they're going

(21:29):
to sponsor our our show and they're going to give
away a lot of a lot of freebies, a lot
of cool stuff they have, like even like these these
like cooler ice chests, like five hundred dollars metal ice shets,
you know, with probably Budweiser logos all over it.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
But really neat stuff. So we're pretty excited about that.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Okay, how does how does that work? Then I want
to go down to the casino? I have to pay
to get involved in this? Or how does how does
an individual get involved?

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Yeah? Yeah, basically.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
So, let's say you have what's an easy number, there's
thirty teams. Let's say base are so football, there's thirty
two football teams. But let's say you have nine hundred
dollars worth of product, and you divide it by thirty teams.
Everybody buys into a twenty nine ninety nine to thirty bucks,
and then we open the cards live, packed by packed,
card by card, and it's all streamed live Instagram, YouTube Live.

(22:23):
I mean, there's so many platforms. We do it simultaneously
on three platforms X YouTube live and Facebook. And then
whatever card you get from that team, and now they
have these autograph cards short printed. These cards could be
worth you know, five thousand dollars a thousand, ten thousand.
There's a card on right now that's it's going to
break the record. It's it's almost that six million. It's

(22:45):
the Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant Dual autographed logo Man with
the game used like NBA logo. But so you get
these cards, so any cards from that team you will
get to keep who did gambling, But it's not whatever
team you get. We randomize the teams who we put

(23:05):
them in.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
This who Who determines like the prices. They throw out
these numbers like who Who's like the the main inspector.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
It's the market. It's basically the market. This one's up
for auctions.

Speaker 8 (23:17):
It's on I think it's on Fanatics Fanatics auction House
or Golden Auction, you know, you see them on Netflix,
but it's one of the big auction houses. And people
are actually bidding on this card.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
You know.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
There's rich people that just want and this is kind
of turned into like fine art for the sports geek,
you know, for these like uber rich people that they
just kind of want to own this rare piece of
one on one, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
And it's interesting that I had a friend who I
don't think he's still doing it, but he was kind
of like the uh, I don't know what the word is,
the moderator for the whole thing. I mean, he was
literally the one opening the packs and you'd see it
like huh huh. On a specific YouTube channel or maybe
it's just on an app of some type. It was
it was kind of George amazing to watch George does

(24:03):
that in a kind of right.

Speaker 8 (24:06):
Yeah, no, that's exactly what we do. Yeah, that's what
he's probably doing that what not what not is a big.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
App for that. Yeah, very kind of it.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, it was on an app. I think, you know,
I could. I was watching at home and watching him
do this. So do you So what kind of success
do you? Because I see you every now and again
on Facebook or whatever. I see you on breaking your
your your your stuff. What what's the audience like?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
So the audience could be anybody.

Speaker 8 (24:31):
It could be like last night we had our ex coach,
assistant coach David Miller, who's Sean Miller's assistant now they're
at Texas. He was he was on the break last night.
He had a couple of spots, you know, he had
a he bought himself in spots and we're doing a
basketball break a half a case he's on there. I mean,
they could be people from Tucson, they could be someone

(24:52):
in I mean, we have people from the UK that
jump in these brakes and we just ship them the
cards once it's done, but everybody watches, they comment, you know,
it's kind of like a you know, it's also a
social thing.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
You know, it's fun.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
They chat in there, they laugh, we make jokes. It's
it's it's really cool, you know, people ask each other questions.
So it's entertainment at the same time.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
It is. It's entertaining, and I'm such a novice. I
was watching. I had no idea kind of what was
going on. It was moving so fast. But obviously there
were like, I don't know, thousands of people on this
On this one, if you want to call it broadcast
of game cards being opened live, it was pretty.

Speaker 8 (25:33):
Yeah, literally absolutely. Some of them get up to two
thousand people are on their page. Eight hundred people are
on ours. We're a smaller.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Thing because I don't do it consistent enough.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I do it.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
I do it as fun, you know, but we get
twenty five to fifty people. You know, sometimes you may
get more on a certain platform, but you know, we've
had one hundred people on the page, but a lot
of the big ones easily get eight hundred to two
thousand people on there.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, so I got watching you, I just got a text, Oh,
hold on, I just got to text this is ask
George what the best resource is for researching sports cards
to determine value.

Speaker 8 (26:11):
So one of the best ways, and it's really easy
is eBay. I mean you will have to have an eBay.
So you go to eBay, you type in what you have.
So let's say you have a nineteen eighty six Michael
Jordan Flee or Rookie cart. He only has that one.
People think the other one. It's only that one, and
then you hit sold, So you have to click on

(26:33):
the sold and that'll actually tell you what they're what
it actually sold for.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's kind of like a house.

Speaker 8 (26:39):
You can you can list your house down the street
for ten million dollars.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Doesn't mean it's gonna sell for.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Ten million dollars, but what it's you know, what the
house down the street actually sold for. That's what determines it.
So the same thing with sports cards, it's what the
card is actually a similar comparison has sold for. So
some people like come in break cards are like, I
see this one. It's listed for ten thousand dollars. Yeah,

(27:05):
it's listed or people are asking ten thousand, but it's
only selling for twenty five dollars. So that's the value
of the card.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yeah, okay, I know Dave and I were talking about ours.
Go ahead. I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (27:16):
They used to have the price guy though, the old
Beckett price guy. Yeah, yeah, you guys remember that one,
and that was kind of the rule.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
But everything moves so quick now.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
So if Otani hits or the kid they hurts hit
four home runs the other day, you know, last month,
four home runs and he went six for six, his
cards literally went up ten x, so ten dollars card
was selling for one hundred dollars, you know, and it
happens that quick.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
What about the kids from Seattle this question?

Speaker 8 (27:48):
Rally, the cal Rally, the Catcher, his cards are way up.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:54):
People never even heard of him before this year, and
now his cards, Yeah, they're tremendous. They're coming there like, hey,
do you have all these cards? I was like, we're
seeing we don't.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Does he have a card cal Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Yeah, he actually does. Twenty twenty twos is a rookie card,
so I and it actually makes the price of the
boxes go up. So any boxes from that year from
twenty twenty two, you know, spike because they had gone
down because that was Wander Franco's here. So negative news
also hurts the athlete. You know, good news the player

(28:26):
performance makes it go up.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, David and I we're talking about all this because
we've have we have cards staffs in our attic somewhere
for sure.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, and you.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Know we're talking about the sixties, thirty seventies. Just off
the top of your head. I guess you would determine
who who it is, right, but that was an euro
basketball and some football stuff.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
M hm, yeah, yep, yeah, But basically what determines it
is is what other cards or yeah, what other cards
similar or the exact same card are selling for. And
the best way is either there's other apps like we
use card Ladder. It's a subscription, you have to pay
fifteen bucks a month, but they take in all like

(29:07):
confirmed sales like from even auction houses, Golden auctions, heritage auctions,
eBay auctions, and that's how we determine the value to
keep the cards and not sell them.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
I mean, you know, I've got cards that are probably
you know, they're over fifty years old. Some are in
great shape still and others are. But I mean, what
what do you recommend? Because people sometimes go, yeah, go
you know, trying to see if you can sell them.

Speaker 8 (29:36):
I don't know, so different, different things determine it. The
old vintage stuff will always appreciate as long as the.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Economy is doing well.

Speaker 8 (29:44):
You know, if if the economy goes into the dumb
obviously that's the last thing people want to do is
buy sports cards. But the older stuff, your Mickey Mental cards, will.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Always go up. The newer stuff.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
It's based on, you know, it's kind of like do
you feel like he's peaked doubt, you know, Otani, or
do you feel like he has a lot left in him?
So that's how you know other players like Kobe Bryant,
he's dead, he's no longer signing autographs. So if you
have an autograph card of his, of course it's going
to go up. You just you just hold it and
it's going to go up. And I have a lot

(30:17):
of those in Norworth six figures. Now, you don't believe
it or not, it's it's it's crazy. It's I mean,
I got lucky on his because he was my favorite
player and that's who I collected. But it's literally a
million dollar collection.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Now, So do you have We talked about the w
n B a just so before you got a hold
of you, how's that going?

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Did you fall down?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
I'm sorry, it's not about.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It was a w n B A with you know,
Cavin Clark and and her teammate and all that stuff.
M h, how's that going? How's that league going?

Speaker 5 (30:52):
With huge? Huge?

Speaker 8 (30:54):
Her and Sophia Cunningham. They're just people love him, I
mean they so we actually someone actually just traded you know,
it wasn't ours, So we had it in the thing
for you know, a big real estate agent here in town.
But he had a Kitlyn Clark in the showcase and
it was listed at twenty five hundred twenty four hundred,

(31:17):
and he traded it for a Cooper flag card autograph
that we're gonna send.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Off getting graded.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Well, yeah, no, WNBA is huge. I mean there's you know,
we just listened to card yesterday for someone that we
got agraded and he hasn't listed at twenty thousand or
something like that. It's Kaitlyn Clark kaboom card, which is
a rare insert. But that more kid is is insane itself.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Is it only for those two players or other ones?

Speaker 8 (31:52):
I mean they are there's you know, there's other players.
But those are they love them, They love those two.
Kaitlyn obviously she's the Michael Jordan of w n B A.
And then the other one. You know, one she's good
looking and then two she kind of plays aggressive and
all that, and she's her teammate and protects her.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
So it's just a great story with her.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, what about Becker's page Beckers and she's a rookie.

Speaker 8 (32:20):
She does well too. Yeah, m she does well too.
And you know in the hobby also, like believe it
or not, like likability also helps her cards. You know,
likability looks. You know, Michael Jordan was good looking, well spoken.
You know on his interviews he solves. Well, let's give

(32:44):
you an example, Lamar Jackson, I'm looking.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
At I'm looking at it. Well, I'm looking like a
Willie May's card right now from the sixty eight Where
on eay does it say sold, like there's a price.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
If you're on a desktop, if you're on a doesktop.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
It would be on the left side.

Speaker 8 (33:01):
You scroll down, there's gonna be a thing that says
sold or completed. On your phone on the app, there's
something up top it says filter. You hit the filter
and that's on the right side and you go down
to the solder. But if you're on the desktop, look
over to the left, scroll down maybe halfway or three
quarters looking down, and you'll see sold. Click on that

(33:25):
and then they'll come up and it'll show the pricing
green and if it's in red, it means someone listed
it for the price, but it didn't.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
How do you so when you went to Chicago when
you were part of this geek fest, do you feel comfortable?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
You feel comfortable?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Yeah, I mean, that's honestly, you know how I felt.
I felt like I was in Disneyland. It's the happiest
place on Earth. I walk into the convention and I'm
just like, oh, I have this overwhelming feeling. I literally
felt like I was in Disneyland.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Please tell me you didn't. Your dark vailer outfits a

Go if their defense holds up. Is uh.

Speaker 8 (34:30):

us at the same time. And I'm trying to figure
out what to do with my cards be an investment someday.
You can know where they are, just need to get
them organized. And I think a lot of people are
in our generation. If they've saved them, it's it could
be quite a here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
I'm sure you've touched them all and they have the
fingerprints in the years are always tattered.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
You know, about maybe ten fifteen years ago, I put
some of them cards that I thought were the most viable.
I kind of put them in a little plastic covers.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
So it was probably your retirement time. Huh, exactly what
am I going to do?

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I can do that now? What am I doing tomorrow morning?
There you go, see what those holl a on. I
just got car. But uh yeah, I mean my generation,
that was a big deal to go. Uh. You know,
we had a couple of stories. We can get on
our little bikes and we go to some park and
on the way we'd stop and get you know, you.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Were in northern in the area.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
Yeah, but where in like Cooper Tino, home of Apple, Okay,
San Jose, Northern Calston in south of San Francisco. But yeah,
we had a whole group of us that would get
together in the summers or whatever gets cards.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
That was kind of getting the bike. Yep, that's it's
funny because I saw something earlier about growing up in
the seventies eighties. Your parents drop you off, I'll pick
you up later, ski rink or the skinny rink and
movie Dave come Back helmet. I don't need no stinking helmet.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
No, But cards was a big deal for those of us,
like in the early seventies and stuff like that, and
that was that was entertainment for us.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Hey, Mom, I'm thirst Trasia, Mom, I'm thirsty. You know
where the hose is.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Tradia Pete Rose for Carlia Streemsky, things like that. Yeah,

are you know, I'm sure there's sitting around that's George's business.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Don't forget the best. Don't forget the best part of it, man.
The gum, Yeah, crack you. I'll taste that flavor and
the and the smoke that came out of it.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
You know, the dust, that's right, And sometimes they were
on the cards, which is bummer. Oh there's there's bubblegum
dust on my Wilt Chamberlain card.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
And cracking, cracking, snapping crack in your mouth. It was
just like, I mean like collectibles. You know, you go
to Vegas, they've got some. All those casinos have those stores.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yeah, well, for the for the life of it, Pete
Rose was that Caesar's Palace one right there all the time.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Mike Tyson, he was signed autograss. But I mean that's
such a I mean, I like just walking in there
and looking at the stuff, just to see what's what's there,
you know, movie posters and stuff. Yeah, I've always been
fascinated by that kind of stuff. That stuff.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
You have stuff on the walls at your house. You know,
a man cave.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
I wish sort of keep threatening her. I'm gonna make
this little man cave. She'll let me hats off, my
old my old buddy guy. Actually, you know, amateur photographer,
maybe a professional photographer, but a great photographer took gave
me a really cool picture Tiger Woods when he was
here playing. I think it was at the gallery. Yeah,

(45:11):
you know, during match play when when they were coming through.
So I've got a great shot of that. I got
a Mickey Mantle picture, you know, kind of that generation. Yeah,
a few things you might do. You have stuff, A
bunch of stuff. Yeah. Stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Even your book is a thing of yeah, collective. The
funny thing about it with my third book, the Box Book,
I'm sure you've seen it. I googled it the other day.
Someone's stelling his for one hundred and thirty eight dollars.
About seven years ago, ten years ago, they were going
for five hundred. Not for me, I mean they had
already bought, they said they were selling them them. Now
there's one for one thirty eight.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
How do those prices get set? I have noise.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
That's why I asked George, who sets these prices? I
guess the want And there's there's a bunch of them
like that. I'm saying, you're crazy. I have three or
four in there for my kids and my you know,
was it.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Like self published?

Speaker 5 (45:58):
No?

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Or do you have publish? Yeah? All the ones have
been published, so they're probably the ones except.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Those No, No, because they're fifty five. Those boxes are
fifty five normal if you can find them, but I
guess the need because there's so many. There's so few
out there now.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
I don't know, but I wish I would have kept
them off. You know, they're still out there somewhere.

Speaker 7 (46:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Well, no, I have some cool stuff, you know, some
things only that's my sun says. Does this mean anything,
only if you want it to be.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Yeah, you know, I mean the things I saved. I
wish i'd save more, but I saved a lot of
the programs from some of the things we covered, the
final fours, I think the Final four championship. I have
the the play by play whatever, remember the whatever sports
Information would print out. Yeah, shot sheets and all that
kind of stuff, like those kind of things.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Yeah, you know what it means not a damn thing.
I don't know, but to you it means everything.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean I look in that box like,
oh wow, I still have that st Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
I went through my stuff not too long ago. The
one cool thing was, you know, the media guys, and
I think you were here, well you know, I know
you were here eighty seven eighty eight when they had
the playing card kind of grouping.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
That's the cool one.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
There's a few cool ones, The Damis Stodamayer, Joseph Blair, Lightning,
Lightning on the Blue is Blue, Lightning and Thunder. I
think it was I can't remember Blue with Damon and Joseph.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
I don't know about you, but when we used to
really look forward to getting those MAGA those media guides
football and basketball.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Now it's a big deal. Now it's like the non
existent because they don't do them. All they give them
everything is on the internet.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
Yeah, but it was a you know, it's a big
deal to see them, how they looked, you know, just
I don't know, we're dating ourselves, but it was a
big It was a big moment when those would come out.
Like now they're not in July or whatever for football
something like that.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Now they're not cost effective because of the budgets.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Because we've gone there and we'd hoard like you know
five somebody at the station wants and we need it
like two for the sports department, right right, But it
comes back with five the end of the season. It
was my media. What happened to it?

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Yeah, same with magazines.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah those are yeah, I know Anthony stuff does his
his Lindy's and all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
But I don't get those anymore. I just don't, you know, yeah, really,
you know, I mean, there's just so many other ways
to get the information, but these were those were good.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah, kids still buy those.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
You still get magazines, No, Well, there is one I
get usually annually for the start of Yeah, Lindy's college
football one. Yeah, usually has uh an Arizona player, Arilina
State players in the Utah, Colorado the region. I usually
get that. I don't keep it. I'd just like to yeah,

(48:30):
perus and it was tradition as a kid. Me and
my brother still do it, but we were more of
the cardgetters.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Still don't have those though. No, those magazines still they're
still out there. What is it, like, I'm assuming Fafita
and then what is it Sam Levitt the issue quarterback.
They're probably the cover cover boys for that. Around here.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
You'll probably have the Colorado quarterback from I think Liberty
Chess for did but maybe they just have Dion.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
We'll see. That's going to be an interesting story this year,
how that. Yeah, wonder they play them? What do they
play that mid Sure they do? Know they do they
do in middle up there? Right? I think I think
at the end of October. Maybe do you have the schedule?
Could you get what's gonna get it? On November twenty second?

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Real quick, that's the Taylor Baylor here, Baylor here twenty
second Baylor Senior Day. They play Colorado the first of
November of November. Oh really here? No on the road older, Yeah,
that's what Arizona plays for. They play Arizona Florida November third.
Then I think, yeah, Monday, Monday, Yeah, so that'll be

(49:38):
a big weekend. Yeah, weekend, same thing around the beginning
of October. You know, they have the Red and Blue
game that Friday before the Oklahoma State game, and then
the halftime the Adaptive Athletics basketball team is going to
get their championship rings from last season presented to them.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
Yeah. Verty cool. Yeah, it's gonna be fun. It's like
you know, I every time I come in here when
we talk about the Big twelve, and it's kind of
I don't know quite sure who's going to be good.
But you know, some of the teams have kind of
emerged out of the pack at least early preseason talk.
But you know, Arizon I was gonna get tested right
off the bat. After those two or quick home games

(50:14):
another home game, Kansas State at home on a Friday,
just like last year they played on Friday out there,
but then I always stayed on the roads. That's not
going to be a fun night. I can't imagine they've
been pretty good.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
We'll find out real quick.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Oklahoma State here should be a win for Arizona and
b YU after that. So there's a couple of quick,
couple of games right off the bat.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
What happy cereal did you eat today?

Speaker 4 (50:38):
I don't know, that's what you say? Around too long
to see which where's that one game? Oh gosh, circle
that they're gonna win? Oh no, what happened? Why they
lose State? I got three letters for you? W staked,
Let's get through that.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You never but you're right, there's always that one game
to falter for some reason. It could be, well, what's
in there? What's in there?

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Kansas Houston, Houston, that's the one, like and there's they
weren't good last year?

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Right, No, but Arizona it's a road game, yeah, middle
of October, halfway through.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
These thirty games are gonna set the tone. And I
say that because they have to still believe in in
the Brennan. They don't believe in Brennan. I'm not sure
what's going to happen and whether he likes it or not,
they have to believe in play hard for him.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Not that this is even anything at this point to
really even consider. But there's really no like super cold
weather games. Possibly Cincinnati. Yeah, I mean, that's really it.
When is that already November fifteenth? Okay? But I mean
they're in the state of Arizona the last of the
last four weekends.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
And in the three in the first ones too. Yes,
so it's a favorable schedule.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Yeah, that's why I've been saying around said before, that's
what you're The gut is as long obviously this is
I mean, is that what you look at me pulling
stuff out of my you know what? But if they
can win the state and I don't just mean Arizona State,
if Arizona can win their home games, yeah, this could
be an eight and four team.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
No, you you're the one that went eight and four
and I said, what the hell?

Speaker 4 (52:15):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (52:16):
There's NAU on the schedule, the show a like team
like Weaver's Day. Okay, you know they can't falter against
those games.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Are you sure they'll be back next year. They must
be playing an issue this year, that don't. They have
to play one of the usually big schools I think.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Well, thanks guys, thanks for coming in on you tomorrow
Dave sure likely we have maybe Aaron Taurus and tomorrow.
You're in tomorrow as well. I'm seeing you all the time.
Thanks everybody for listening, Thanks for the calls.
