I said in another thread that I'd try to get a basketball break going. If we do a Draft style Group Break there would be 30 slots for 30 teams. Once everyone had paid, I could log on to Ustream and randomize the DRAFT LIST LIVE. #1 gets first pick(team), #2 gets 2nd pick(team), and so on and so forth. Once the RANDOMIZED DRAFT PICK LIST was posted, you guys would get a few days to make your picks. For example, if someone picks the CELTICS? They would get every single Celtics card from both cases. Hits, Autos, Base, whatever. Cases would already be ordered, LIVE BREAK DATE would be scheduled (again Ustream). Sort, package and mail. Presto GB finished.
I am aiming at less expensive products which should mean the possibility for MORE board participation. This will also mean more breaking for me, more cards for you, but also slightly higher S&H fees. For argument's sake, let's say $8 (might have to send stuff Priority because of sheer bulk) per team/slot. Add in your Paypal fees ($2) + supplies ($1.50). Total S&H w/ Paypal and supplies= $11.50. 2 slots would get a discount. Let's keep this friendly though, nobody w/ more than 2 slots?!?!?!?!
I will e-mail BLOWOUT once some sort of consensus is near. They have always been decent about hooking up Group Breaks.
Once you guys have decided on 2 products (DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE PRODUCT, ALL THE PRODUCTS HAVE PROS AND CONS) we'll make this happen. If we light a fire under this, we can schedule it for Nov 20th (Friday night???), maybe Nov 21st???.
Here are some products that I think would make a nice GB. Your 2 cents are certainly appreciated but it would be much easier to stick w/ products that have prices beside them on the BLOWOUT product info site. If there are no prices or "e-mail blah blah blah" BLOWOUT might not have that product in stock.
CURRENT PRICES>>>
08/09 Topps Basketball: 6 box HTA (case=2760 cards)= $360
08/09 UD Basketball: 12 box (case= 3840 cards)= $645
09/10 Panini Prestige: 12 box (case=2304 cards)= $825
09/10 Topps Basketball: 6 box HTA (case=3000 cards)= E-mail w/ price coming...
Group Break Ideas>>>
GB1: 08/09 UD + 09/10 Topps= TBD (too be determined)
GB2: 08/09 Topps HTA + 09/10 Prestige= $1185 (roughly $51 per slot)
GB3: 08/09 UD + 09/10 Panini Prestige= $1470 (roughly $60.50 per slot)
Start talking it up and maybe by Friday (or sooner) we can come to a decision on GB 1, 2, or 3. If I get 10 members to agree to one idea, I will run with it. Post your thoughts, the sooner the better.
P.S. For newer members, check my eBay rating, board iTrader feedback, other Group Breaks, etc.. etc... Thanks, Rob (RJF)
