Cheat Sheet for the Prospects Auto (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball/156562-cheat-sheet-2011-bowman-prospect-autos-milb-info.html) **

Configuration : 12 Hobby Boxes, 24 packs per box
(Approx. 90 cards per slot)

Price Breakdown
1 Case @ 819.95$ (840$ including shipping to Canada)
840 / 31 = 27.096 (27.25$ rounded up)
Supplies (300 ct box + sleeves) / Slot = 0.75$
Shipping (300 ct box out of Canada) = 14$
Paypal fees (2,9% +.30$) = 1.62$
Total 43.26

Total slot cost
1st slot - 43.50 (to makes it easy)
2nd Slot - 34$
3rd Slot - 33$
4 or more spots = 30$ per slot + 20$ flat shipping rate (will use a bigger box)

Shipping costs explanations : I'm shipping out of Montreal, Canada. So Shipping to the USA will be made using the 300ct box with the cards inside plus protective fillers. Estimate cost is 12,90$ using Canadapost.ca but some Custom Fees may apply. That's why shipping has been rounded up to 14$, to cover these cost that may or may not apply. I will probably end up paying more than that but that will not raise the price of the break.

After a discussion with a moderator, Canadian members will have a discount on shipping. Take 5$ OFF your selected slot if you are within the canadian border, shipping will be around 7-8$ for me insteand of 12-14$

You are getting ALL the cards from the team in your slot (that includes base cards)

There are cut signatures of old timers in this product. If a now defunct team is pulled (New York Giants, Washington Senators, whatever) the card will be randomed between all of the slot holders. Same goes for Multi-Teams cards if they are any.

Break is now open. Format and slot pricing are within the guidelines and the host has provided verification for the age requirement. Please do your own due diligence and only join if you are comfortable with dealing with the host.

[Care4Card]

Great, it's live.

Just a heads-up guys, I will be away all day (business meeting) but I'll take all my messages tonight or tomorrow morning. So don't worry if I don't reply today, 'first in' rules will apply when I check it out later.

Let's fill it up. The prices are not up yet and I hope Blowout won't raise it but don't be surprised if the price structure is changing if a raise is applicated on case price. I'll let you know before hand, of course.

[georgewashinton]

Put me down for one. Hopefully the price doesn't go up. Saying the cases are "sold out" would be a good way of justifying a price increase and increasing sales by making people think that they better get it as soon as they can. :D Thanks for conducting the break.

[Vintage Collector]

I will take 4 slots

When sending a Paypal payment to the host, protect yourself by sending as goods (not gift). If a payment is sent as a "gift", you eliminate your chance of filing a chargeback should the need arise. If possible, fund the payment with a credit card to be fully protected.

[Care4Card]

wow when did you post this? get home from work and it is already sold out! that sucks

Went live this morning around 5h00 and sold out around 15h00

Super fast quick.

[Care4Card]

Good news, price is Confirmed by Pat and we are locked in at this price as long as we pay quick.

So, here we go Paypal, I'll update the totals next to your name as we speak

[Care4Card]

This message is for the Breaker who are also in my other Bowman 2011 break. I have this to offer you :

If you are willing to wait for both break to happen (please count 2-4 days in between for me to sort the first one and then break the second one) I can quote you a price and combine your two slots and make only one shipment?

Here's a Breakwdown of how it would look.

@Vintage Collector : Two Slots in the First Break + Four Slots here = 6 Spots Total. 77,50$ is already paid and 140$ will be due (4x 30$ + 20$). I can offer instead 6x30$ + 20$ = 200$ - 77,50$ = 122,50$ left to pay

@ReinholdMessner : Two Slots in the First Break + Two Slots here = 4 Spots Total. 77,50$ is already paid and 77,50 will be due. I can offer insteand 4x30$ + 20$ = 140$ - 77,50 = 62,50$ left to pay

I think you are the only two taking parts in the two breaks. Let me know if you wish to combine and I'll post the price accordingly. If you want two shipments, refer to original pricing.

[Care4Card]

Payments are due May 10th but please, pay ASAP, I want to give you as much time as possible to trade before we break, so Random has to be made soon.

Any questions, hit my PM.

Care - How are you going to handle any of the "mystery" auto redemptions that might pop up in this break? I like what Tyler is going to do for his break - call Topps with the code, find out who the card is, and then send it to the person who has that team.

I can do that, assuming Topps know who that is before 2013 :)!

Other option is to random them off.

I should do a poll on this, should I?

[ReinholdMessner]

I would vote for the Tyler option... especially because if that mystery player is on the checklist then that person is counting on the hit already

http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball/159046-message-topps-2011-bowman-autograph-redemptions.html

since Cosart is the whole reason I bought my slot, I am going on record and saying these redemptions need to be redeemed right away if we pull one and given to the appropriate team. Im sure whoever has the Braves would agree

[Care4Card]

At least Topps are identifying them... I will redeem them after the break to give them properly.

Shipment Update

Label/Receipt Number: CJ22 8071 594U S
Class: Priority Mail International Parcels
Service(s): International Parcels
Status: International Dispatch

Your item left the United States from ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at 3:52 am on May 19, 2011. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

So my guess is that I will receive the case Tuesday next week (Monday would be awesome but realistic estimate is Tuesday)

If that's it's the case, break will be either Tuesday night at 20h30 EST or any day after in the week at 20h30 EST.

It'll take about 2 hours to bust so I'd rather start early.

I'll update this on Monday when USPS updates.

[Care4Card]

- UPDATE -

Cases are still into foreign customs.

As soon as it is delivered I'll proceed as follow.

Case #1 - Breaks the day of reception around 8h30 EST

Case #2 - Breaks 2 days after around 8h30 EST

Example schedule if delivered Wednesday.

Weds - Case #1 Breaks
Thursday - Case #1 sorting / packing / shipping all of those who don't have a share in case #2.
Friday - Case 2 Breaks
Week-end - Sorting and shipping the rest.

I really want this schedule to sticks so pray for Customs to clear quick. Please note, no mail for Canada on Saturday, that's why I'll sort all week-end for the remainders.

Questions? Shoot

My Excel spreadsheet is ready, all I need is the cards asap.

[Care4Card]

| Update #2 |

As of right now, cards have cleared customs but not 'out for delivery'. I assume then (Since I'm in Montreal) that tomorow is going to be the day.

Crossing fingers.

[Care4Card]

| MAJOR UPDATE |

Break is delayed and WILL NOT be tonight.

Case was delivered to my home today but Canadian Postal Service were packing a surprise for me... 275$ Custom Fees for the 2 cases.

My Girlfriend did not pay the fees (obviously) and I have to pick it up myself either tomorrow or the day after and I have to figure out what to do.

This fee was not expected and I'm already taking a good hit on this with the shipping (I estimated low on the combined one but that's ok).

So, roughly, the fee will add up 4.50$ per slot on the two breaks.

I have two options here.

1) Either everyone agree to pay the extra 4,50$ / slot

2) I sell the cases, refund everybody and cover the fees and whatnots with the money from the case (Hoping I'd seel these for close to 1k each)

What d'you guys think?

Let me know, I'm really bummed out right now about this break, it was going super well and my stupid postal services ruined it all (again)

Needless to say these will be my last breaks here, unfortunately, it's too pricy for you guys to deal with all these added costs.

[jusdukky]

I'm ok with paying the extra $4.50 ... it's not your fault!!

[Troybuilts]

I will pay the fee.

[Vintage Collector]

Just let me know what I owe.

Canada Strikes Again! lol

[MrSnyder]

I'm up for selling my slots...

[Care4Card]

Just let me know what I owe.

Canada Strikes Again! lol

Seriously, if my girlfriend was not so against the idea, I would seriously consider to Vermont or something.

Being a french canadian, I don't really like Canada anyway and right now, I'd burn my passport if I could :)!

[Boo]

I'll pay the difference.

[ReinholdMessner]

I'd vote to pay the extra $. If the group decides to sell I would not be completely upset either. It's not your fault, don't beat yourself up about it

[Andrew Jones]

I'd vote to pay the extra $. If the group decides to sell I would not be completely upset either.

Same here.

[stevejeltz]

I'll pay extra for my slots. Thanks.

[nephinfan]

No problem here with paying the extra for my 2 slots! It's not your fault.:)!

[georgewashinton]

I'll pay the additional $4.50 for my Freddie Freeman superfractor redemption. I was just curious though does Canada do that for every box that is shipped there. What if it had been a box with about 5 dollars worth of goods?

[Care4Card]

I'll pay the additional $4.50 for my Freddie Freeman superfractor redemption. I was just curious though does Canada do that for every box that is shipped there. What if it had been a box with about 5 dollars worth of goods?

Under 20$ (and mostly under 100$) everything goes right in, no questions ask

Above 100$, it's a gamble that can turn sour.

I'll scan you guys the bill tomorrow, sere what I mean :)!

[Straw44]

I'll pay the fee as well.

[Care4Card]

see new solution below...

[Care4Card]

Right now, the reselling option is out the window. At the current rate, I would lose more money refunding and taking the taxes if I sell the case and take the stupid ebay fees and whatnots (at least 100$ on each case). So that's down the drain.

The break will be held, I'm picking up the cases tonight. But we need to figure this out asap.

1) Those who are willing to pay the 4,50$ / slot, please do so at care4cards@gmail.com, disregards my previous maths who was built around those who didn't want to pay.

2) Those who wishes a refund, you can. I will auction off your teams to the other breakers and, if some are left (doubt it) I'll buy them for me at discount and eat that lost. PM me if you want a refund, I'll make your team available and pay you up soon.

3) Let's do this quick so I can move these to you ASAP and forget this whole thing ever happened and move

[Care4Card]

Check the top post, I will update with who takes the fee and who wishes to auction off their team during the day.

[Riversoule]

Care,

I just checked my emails and sent you some cash for the excess.
I can help you out and buy some additional slots if others bow out.

Sorry you are dealing with this.

Thanks mate, I got your share and it's updated.

I appreciate it

[Care4Card]

As for the distribution of the teams that will open up, I will wait until everyone has made a decision and then figure a way to split the team.

Either auction them or random them at a flat rate (48$ per team, 43.50+4,50)

They need to be random. In an auction, you either make or lose money. BO might not like you making money, you might not like losing money.

[nephinfan]

Payment has just been sent for my two slots.

[ReinholdMessner]

paid for my slots in both cases

Yeah, I think you got that right, my point here is not to make money, just avoid losing too much.

Got you mate

Thanks

Got you as well

Thanks

[cardinalscards4]

could anyone partake in the auction?

[Troybuilts]

Paid! When is the break?

[Care4Card]

could anyone partake in the auction?

If some slots are left unwanted after all is said and done, I will open them up to everyone.

But I'm pretty sure they will be bought out in here first.

[Care4Card]

Paid! When is the break?

Soon I hope.

I'm really pushing hard for this to settle quick so I can break everything this week-end.

I'll get the cases tonight.

[Care4Card]

| Update |

It's going good so far, please review this procedure and let's resolve quick...

Please everyone,

Remember that a person is entitled to his opinions so don't fall too hard on John91c for sticking his guns. He has valid points and if it was a smaller amount I would probably do the whole 'taking the taxes on me' and move on.

But it is my hobby as well, 250$ is a kick in the teeth for not getting any cards at all, that's why I've putted this public.

Right now, the reselling option is out the window. At the current rate, I would lose more money refunding and taking the taxes if I sell the case and take the stupid ebay fees and whatnots (at least 100$ on each case). So that's down the drain.

The break will be held, I'm picking up the cases tonight. But we need to figure this out asap.

1) Those who are willing to pay the 4,50$ / slot, please do so at care4cards@gmail.com, disregards my previous maths who was built around those who didn't want to pay.

2) Those who wishes a refund, you can. I will auction off your teams to the other breakers and, if some are left (doubt it) I'll buy them for me at discount and eat that lost. PM me if you want a refund, I'll make your team available and pay you up soon.

[Straw44]

Paying as soon as I get home.

[Straw44]

Payment sent. Thanks!

[ReinholdMessner]

good job guys!

[Care4Card]

Ok, we have a full house here (Thanks to Straw44 for the final shot)

Now, we have one slot unclaimed to be randomed.

* The Chicago Cubs *

I'll be giving most of the day to everyone who wishes to put their name in the hat and then I'll random it.

1) The price is 48$ for the team (includes customs and everything)
2) Must be paid this week-end

Voilà, throw your names in.

I want to break ASAP but since I have children at home, I can't break during the day and I work tonight and tomorow night. So the earliest would be Sunday night if the teams is claimed / paid.

Let's go, case is in hand, I picked it up yesterday.

Thank you guys for solving this puzzle quick for me, it's much appreciated.

[Care4Card]

Ok...

Break is SUNDAY NIGHT AT 8H30 EST PM

We have the CUBS to attribute and I will random it among the following users SUNDAY MORNING. So you have all Saturday to be added to the list. Payment (48$) is expected before the break starts.

List for the CUBS
1) Riversoule
2) Vintage Collector
3)
4) Troybuilts
5)
6)

So, to be added or removed for the CUBS, please reply here and I'll run the random on Sunday Morning.

Absolutely nothing.

It's a shame...

[Care4Card]

UPDATE

I'm going to the PO tonight to ship the few remaining boxes. Otherwise, everything is out there.

Canadian Postal Service are currently on strike but deliveries are guaranteed anyway. But I assume some delays will take place.

Please, update me when you do receive your cards, I'll start leaving feedbacks this week.

[Straw44]

Got mine today. Safe and sound. Thanks!

[Bruvydsb]

Anybody is the NY area get cards?

[Bruvydsb]

O Canada, my cards have finally come.................................

[georgewashinton]

For teams that had redemption autos, are you waiting til' you receive the redemption to mail all the cards or mailing them now and mailing the redemption when you get it? Thanks in advance.

[Care4Card]

I shipped everything I had and when the redemptions come to me I'll forward them to the rightful owner.

I'm pretty sure some boxes are stuck 'in limbo' because of the canadian postal service Lock Out.

Bummer

[The700Level]

Are they still on strike? Some people have received cards, not in Jersey yet.

[Vintage Collector]

Do you have any delivery confirmation numbers?

[nephinfan]

No cards here yet, either.....

[Care4Card]

Good news, bad news.

Good news, Canadian Postal service is FINALLY back on track.

Bad news, a dozen or so packages were shipped back to me because of the 'overwait' for processing so I have to go back to the PO and bust some balls about this. All of you guys who did not get your cards yet, they are probably in there, I'm super sorry about this, it is way above me since it was a full on Lock Out for the whole country and before that a worker's strike so the service was hectic and they cut a lot of corners.

Now everything seems back in shape. I'll wait a day or two for them to catch up the rythm (they went back on Tuesday, so I'll ship Thursday to beat the National Holiday here on Friday).

Can't wait to get these over with, I'll try to upgrade to 'Air Mail' when ever possible on the packages. The lady at the PO knows me well and I'm pretty sure she will cut me some slack on this.

Again, thanks y'all for your patience, I can't wait to do another break and prove that this one was just doomed from the get go and just move on :)

[ReinholdMessner]

Got my cards today, thanks you Canadian hoser!

[Care4Card]

ReinholdMessner, got your Cosart Redemption today

I'm shipping it out tomorrow.

Hope you like it :)

[georgewashinton]

Got my cards today...better late than never. Thanks.

[Andrew Jones]

My cards arrived today. Thanks for the break!

[georgewashinton]

Did you get my PM Care4Card regarding that Freeman redemption? I'm pretty sure they were all shipped a coupe of weeks ago. Message me back please. Thank you.

[georgewashinton]

I hope he didn't fall off the face of the Earth.
