Group Break Update: Spots Left

Things are coming together pretty quickly for the box break I'm doing with Sewing Machine Guy. The teams/people listed at the bottom are what's already taken. If you don't see a team it's still open. Just leave a comment claiming the team and then drop me an email.

If you have already claimed a team, mention the break on your blog and throw a link to it. I'm stoked to have almost 1/2 the teams and looking forward to filling this up.

To keep things simple we'll be using Joe Collector's pricing structure, found here (thanks JC!).

(6)Any team newer than 1980 including the Nationals are in Tier 3 $13.75

(8)Any team newer than 1961 shall be in Tier 2 $16.75

(16) Any team older than 1961 shall be in Tier 1 $20.50

ONLY IF YOU PAY AT THE SAME TIME FOR ALL OF THE BREAKS.

Second team or break discount: 1.00
Third team or break: 1.50
Fourth Break and thereafter discount 2.00

As for costs, here's the deal as outlined in the comments. I'm estimating $150 for paypal fees, shipping, and supplies across 30 teams ($5 per). If the break fills we'll do an eighth box of Icons. Any money left over (I think I have it estimated at $30 with a full break and 8 boxes) will go towards the next break. I know that's a bit conservative with the estimates on the money, but the future of my marriage depends on pulling this off without laying out my own cash. The compa is keeping a CLOSE eye on this one. That said, enough of you have my address (as well as Sewing Machine Guy's) so rest assured no shenanigans will be going on with the funds or cards.


We'll start taking team requests in the comments below, first come first serve. After April 1 we'll open it up to multi-teams discounts and such. Payment by April 15, break around May 1. Payment details after we see where we're at April 1.




Cards with multiple players/swatches/autos will be randomed off to those teams in the order they are pulled. We gotta spread it around, so once you get one multi-card in a break you have to sit out other randomizations in that break.

We'll start off with a bang and do 7 boxes of UD Icons from Atlanta Sportcards. That's a product with a TON of autos, so hopefully we'll pull something good.





Drop a comment to say you're in a and which team you'd like!

  1. Hey, I would be interested in the Padres this time around as long as we do not have to keep the same team from break to break.

    On the other hand, if the idea is to keep the same team from break to break I'd be in for the Rockies instead.

    Let me know.

  2. Dude, don't know if you realized but there is a $200 difference between product cost and the amount you will get if you fill up the spots.

    I'll add this info to the post above.

  5. Actually the reason why I brought it up is so you could explain it. I bet some people thought you were making a ton of cash off the thing.

  6. @ stusigpi: No worries and you are right: I should have laid that out at the beginning. Definitely don't want misunderstanding like that floating around. You're THE expert on these things, so thanks for bringing that up. Also for joining the break AND for putting it on your blog!
