2010 Topps Triple Threads 9box case break

[fitch123]

Hey guys, I'm attempting to do my first case break. I participated in a TTT case break a week ago and had a lot of fun, so I'm hoping to have the same success hosting one!

Break currently scheduled for Friday, 5:30pm PST (immediately after DizzyDski's Exquisite/UD Black Football Break!)


THIS BREAK IS FILLED, NOW TAKING REQUESTS FOR BACK-UP SLOTS. PLEASE MAKE PAYMENT TO PAYPAL EMAIL:
Fitch.Christian@gmail.com and make sure to mention Blowoutcards TTT group break and your forum username!

NOTE: Lets try to keep a payment deadline for 11/11 which should give everyone enough time to get in payments. If your payment is not in by Thursday, November 11 I will be filling back-up requests on a first come, first serve basis.

Outside Blowout Forums Reference:

I've been on eBay for over 12 years, have ~1400 feedback w/ 100% positive and am a Top Rated Power Seller :)

About the break:



Ustream.TV will be used to host the live break (username: fitch123). Target time: 5:00 PM PST Date: TBA

I will ask a mod to do the randomization or I can attempt to do it live using random.org (Will be randomized 3 times).

Slot 1 will be the base card slot (54 cards /1350) and Slot 2 will be the base card parallel slot (36 cards /525 to as low as 1/1)

Slot 3 will be the first hit, Slot 4 will be the second hit and so on.

Any extra hits (do not anticipate this happening) will be randomed using random.org

Approved, good luck!

[DizzyDSki]

Hey! This one looks familar! :) Since I wasn't able to participate in the two TTT breaks that I ran, I'd definitely like to participate in your's. Please put me down for two slots - #5 & #9.

Not sure if you've checked with Chris yet or not, but he might be able to give you a break on the case, too. I was able to get $1225 per case which brings the cost down a pretty good amount - about $4/slot. If you haven't already, could you check to see if we might be able to get a little better pricing?

Hmmm...seeing $1339 on Blowoutcards.com now....

Thanks and good luck!

Glad to see you in here! I love this stuff and figured I'd copy you and see if I can get my first break off to the same great start!

Also, I will shoot an email out and see what kind of discounted price we can get for a group break.

[fitch123]

Ok! I got quoted for $1287 on a 9box case from chris ($52 off current price)! :) I'll go ahead and change prices to reflect this

[fitch123]

Come on guys, lets get this filled so I can pull the Lou Gehrig 1/1 Bat Knob!! :)

[Chrisdg19006]

What the heck, I'm in for two of the hit slots, just PM me your paypal address

I'd like to take payments when we get closer to filling, but if you would like to pay now thats fine (I can always refund payment in full if the break doesn't fill). Just let me know, thanks!

That's fine, I can pay when it gets closer to getting filled. Can I have two of the hits instead of the base cards? From the description, it looks like slots 1 and 2 are for base cards

I can put you in any slot you want, the #s are going to get randomed after it is filled thought :) but if you are feeling a lucky #, let me know

[Chrisdg19006]

Oh I see. I missed the random part. 1 and 2 are cool then, thanks for hosting. I hope we get a bat knob or cut auto

[killerturtle]

[JasonH]

Are you ordering the case on the 11th once everyone is paid or have you already ordered it? Any idea on a ballpark day when the break is going to happen? Thanks

[fitch123]

Going to order the case when I get word back from killerturtle. I got approved by Chris for FREE 2-day AIR shipping, so my goal is to have the case on FRI or SAT and to do the break at around 5-6PM PST on FRI or mid afternoon SAT if that works for everyone

[JasonH]

Sounds good. Thanks!

[fitch123]

The case is paid for! Just need payments from killerturtle and DCN. I'm looking forward to doing this group break on Friday!

[killerturtle]

PAYED! LETs ROLL

[DCN12586]

I was informed we get paid tomorrow since banks are closed Thursday, so I'll have the money to you by 12 pst.

[DCN12586]

BTW its DCN I don't have four names.

[fitch123]

BTW its DCN I don't have four names.

Oh yeah, sorry :) I was trying to remember it without opening another thread window to get to the first page.

[DCN12586]

Its cool, hopefully we'll get some good cards.

[martingale]

Stupid question...the break will be recorded and archived somewhere, right? I may not be able to participate live.

And good luck on your first break. Channel your inner Ahab for me (cheesy, I know).

I think a lot of us won't be able to make it live on a weekend, but maybe thats just me.

Yeah I believe it will save on Ustream.tv and my goal is to eventually upload it on youtube. I'll put a link in this thread when the break is over, but I have limited knowledge of this stuff, so I'll try doing a dry run in the next couple days to make sure I kinda know what I'm doing at least.

If a video is over 10 minutes, I don't think you can upload it to YouTube (so you'd have to break it into a few videos). The videos do archive on UStream though. I'll make sure to be there LIVE - hopefully it's Friday night! :)

[DCN12586]

If you do it Friday night can you do it at 11 eastern that way I can have a few beers in me and at least be happy with the cards I get?

[fitch123]

lol, plan is to do it after Dizzy's break as there is some crossover between our breaks (some of the same participants, including myself and Dan). It may end up being more like 9pm EST, but I also have things to do later that night so maybe you'll have to shotgun a couple beers. ;)

[JasonH]

FYI I'm in both also. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Dizzy's break is 7PM CST which would also be 9PM EST no?

[fitch123]

7PM CST = 8pm EST = 5pm PST

[fitch123]

Case was shipped this morning according to Chris. Expected arrival is sometime Friday, hopefully it doesn't come too late

[JasonH]

7PM CST = 8pm EST = 5pm PST

thanks for the clarification

[hester72598]

When is our randomization?

[fitch123]

When is our randomization?

It will be the day of the break, unless you want a Admin to do it tomorrow. There is no real to do it before hand is trading is pretty much useless (unless you are trading for a lucky # or are trying getting out of a base slot).

[fitch123]

I still do not have DCN's payment, if he doesn't pay by tomorrow we will need to fill his 3 slots...

[Chrisdg19006]

I can take a backup slot as well if you need it.:)!

[armyatc22]

i can take a backup slot if he doesnt pay just pm me

[fitch123]

Alright, I've contacted both Taz and 56Lightout (both were still interested), but if they don't get back to me with payment by ~6-7PM PST, I will move down the list.

[killerturtle]

Ill take a slot let me know thanks

[Riversoule]

Need anyone else? PM me if so.

[armyatc22]

Money sent for 1 slot!!

Thanks

[56LightsOut56]

PP sent for 1 slot

[fitch123]

Alright everyone is filled in, I got a email from BandwagonFan requesting one of his slots get filled for a refund and DCN bailed on payment, but luckily we had back-ups waiting in line to make everything go smoothly! All are paid and we are ready to roll :)

[fitch123]

case is out for delivery, hopefully it comes in time for the break!

[smkelly1]

If anyone drops, let me know please.

[fitch123]

[fitch123]

If enough people are available to watch, I'd like to get the random done now if possible because I am planning to use a different set up for the break. If there at least a few people to witness that will work

[martingale]

Thanks for hosting.

[Chrisdg19006]

Yeah thanks for hosting

[killerturtle]

THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THE BREAK!

[armyatc22]

I'm guessing I hit a gameused :( congrats on the nice hits guys

[fitch123]

ok getting the scans and results up now

[hock3591]

Shouldn't slot 2 be the parallels?

[Chrisdg19006]

I think you're right. I'll send Christian a PM, but if I get your cards, I'll send them to you

[jortiz1012]

I agree with hock

[hester72598]

I agree with hock

Yes page 1 clearly states slot #2 is the parallel slot. So hock would have the parallels.

[fitch123]

Shouldn't slot 2 be the parallels?

ah jeez just saw that. I guess thats how it is written down in the rules. Base parallels will be sent to hock3591. Sorry! :(
