Video summary

In this episode of Fanatics Live, host Joe conducts a two-box break of the highly anticipated 2025/26 Topps Chrome Black Basketball Hobby set on a new release Thursday. Before opening the packs, Joe shares some excitement about recent community events, including congratulations to Noah for winning a giveaway and a special shout-out to Alika for securing the Orlando Magic in the last spot mojo draw. He notes that while there is no guarantee of hits, the team has seen success with previous draws, and he expresses hope for fireworks from these final two boxes which come from a fresh case rather than a leftover one. As the break progresses, several notable cards are revealed, starting with a unique carbon ink autograph card featuring Walt Frazier, who is celebrated as a world champion New York Knicks player. The opening also yields a Draymond Green card for Golden State and a Derrick Jones Jr. card that could help build a young core for the Pelicans. Later in the second box, Klay Thompson appears on a card assigned to Miami following his recent move away from Dallas, while Gradey Dick's card is unfortunately directed toward the Raptors instead of the desired team. Despite the absence of major rookie stars like Cooper Flagg or other one-of-one hits in this specific break, the variety of cards and the unique carbon ink design provide significant interest for collectors. The highlight of the session comes near the end with the reveal of an Alonzo Mourning autograph card, which is numbered 12 out of 25, making it a rare low-numbered find for Miami Heat fans. Joe expresses particular satisfaction with this discovery, noting that he was looking for a bigger rookie name but feels even better about securing the Mourning card due to its scarcity and aesthetic appeal. The card features a shrouded autograph design that adds to its cool factor, providing a memorable finish to the break despite not hitting on major new rookies. Overall, while this specific two-box break did not yield any blockbuster rookie cards or unique one-of-one hits, it successfully showcased the excitement of breaking fresh cases and highlighted some interesting mid-tier and veteran players. Joe wraps up by encouraging viewers to join the next break, which will be drawn from another fresh case to continue the chase for rare finds. He thanks the audience for their support throughout the evening and promises to see everyone in the next episode, maintaining the engaging and community-focused atmosphere that defines these weekly hobby breaks.

Hi everybody, Joe here for Jaspy's on Fanatics Live coming at you with a two-box break of 2025 Topps Chrome Black Basketball on a new release Thursday, the 27th. Pick a team number four, big thanks to this group for making it happen. Appreciate all of you. I'm going to shake up that toner a little bit. Alika with the Orlando Magic, last spot mojo star next to your name. If it hits, it hits, they say. 70% of the time last spot mojo hits all the time, they say. And congrats to Noah for winning the latest break credit giveaway. Yeah, if you're watching this replay on YouTube, join us on Fanatics Live. Find us there. And we might might be doing a little giveaway. You might win something. All right. So, we marked this number four, we know it's from the same case. The next two-box break that's up right now in the shop, next two-box break is from a fresh case. So fresh and so clean. All right, so the first few breaks, let's just say we want to see some fireworks in these last two boxes. Good luck, everybody. If not, well, you know, it happens. And Dereck Lively and Brandon Miller and Luka. I think Luka and most of the team are in Slovenia right now doing a little pre-preseason training. Dereck Lively, that's going to be for Nollens. That'll be for Scott the Pelicans, R. Harold, Ryan Harold with the uh New Orleans Pelicans. Last spot taken was Orlando. Orlando got last spot mojo. And so, we'll see how they do. All right, second pack. All card ship, of course. There's Draymond, 299 for Golden State. That'll be for collector one upper. Jeremy Fears, Derrick Queen. That could be the start of a nice young core for the Pelicans. We're going to be getting to a great part of the sports calendar, folks. Got playoff baseball in October. We'll be well into the NFL season, English Premier League season. Basketball and hockey are about to start up. What else? Final final races in F1. Maybe NASCAR playoffs >> [snorts] >> as well. All right. What we got here? This is different. I haven't seen this yet. It is a carbon ink card. It's pretty cool. 69 out of 75, Walt Frazier. That's going to be Keith and the world champion New York Knicks. I haven't seen any of these carbon ink autographs just yet. Nice. World champions, Keith. All right. Second box, last box of the case. Last box of this two-box break, pick your team four, pick your team five is a fresh case. All right. Good luck. We got the the lightsaber duel at the end of episode three on the background. I like the Star Wars. Hall of Famer, Şerif Klay Thompson to 299, who is going to be with Miami, I think. That was a recent move. Klay was like, "Hey, can't you know, you mind if I go to a contender this year?" I know Dallas are rebuilding. They're like, "Yeah, sure." Come on, are we going to see like some black lightning, some nocturnal? Home court advantage? No, it doesn't look like it. There is Gradey Dick to 99. That's a bummer. This will go to the Raptors, though. That's going to be for Ray. All right, we need a big finish here. We need a big finish here. Good luck, everybody. Appreciate the fill. Appreciate you working through this case throughout the evening. Last auto is going to be Alonzo Mourning. 12 out of 25. Nice low number there for Ray and Miami. Looking for a kind of a bigger rookie name, but hey, we'll take Zo. And that's a PC for I I feel even better about that, then. Out of 25. Shrouded autograph. That's really cool. Yeah. I would agree. Dylan Jace thinking, "Yeah, very underappreciated." Watch from G-Town on. Yeah, so it's pretty cool. All right. Again, we did not see any big rookie name, right? No one of one Cooper Flag or anything like that, but the next two-box break, pick your team five, is from a fresh case, so the chase continues. Thanks for watching. I'm Joe, and I'll see you in the next break. Bye.
