The Touchdown Box Break Club

tehchamp · 03-19-2011, 10:04 PM

Okay folks, this is the thread for The Touchdown Box Break Club.
This is a year long commitment where we will be paying a monthly fee each month. The agreed upon price, by majority vote, is $50 a month. How it will work is each month, we will vote on a product to bust within our price range for that particular month. Then, once the product has been ordered, I will send a list of each participant to a mod to do a randomization of the teams for that month.
I am going to be participating in this as well, and like I said, a mod will post the random done each month, in no way will there be a possibility for me to have an advantage in the breaks by purposely setting up a random for me to get a particular team.

The approximate monthly breakdown of costs will be as follow:
32 participants @ $50 per slot = $1600
approximately $46.40 Paypal fees,
approximately $93.00 shipping ($3.00 * 31)
approximately $1460.60 available per month

Make paypal payment to: jonathan.t.hough@gmail.com

Please note the first month, I will be using some funds to purchase a lot of supplies specifically for this year long break, which will eat up a decent amount of supplies.

I will ship your base/regular inserts out if requested, but I will "stockpile" them to fill up a cardboard box to reduce the shipping costs down the line. If requested, I can send them out sooner though.

Also, the rule with multiple teams on a card will be as follows:
A list will be randomed by a mod, with the first team on the random winning the card.

In the event we pull a card that has no association to a team, it will be randomed at the end of the break. I doubt we will run into this issue very often though.

To determine the team that gets the card, it will be based on the team listed on the card. For instance, if we pull a Brandon Marshall auto and he is in a Broncos uniform, but it states he is a Miami Dolphin, it will go to the Dolphins.

With that said, the following people need to confirm they will be participating in this year long commitment, and anybody else interested will be added as a backup.

Payment will be tentatively due Friday, April 1st

Not bad idea.

We'll be looking at MOST to spend $1,200.

If anyone wants to help me set up how much supplies I should order, that will give us a better number for available to spend.
Just shoot me a PM, I'd like to get at least 3 months worth of supplies for the group at a time here. The sleeves aren't really the issue for me, its the toploaders and cardboard boxes/slider boxes for sending the cards out.

I'm not in this break but I run a group similar to this. I pick up all of my supplies off of this seller on ebay: ultra pro items - Get great deals on toploader, toploaders items on eBay Stores!

They seem to always be a little bit cheaper than others I find.

Thanks for your input, but I think I might want to stick with ordering the supplies from Blowout when I order the case, that way everything should be together and organized.

DC_Bengal · 03-21-2011, 02:51 PM

I'm confirmed for this, please let me know when we are ready to send paypal

monkeymcgee · 03-21-2011, 03:38 PM

Confirming my participation

tehchamp · 03-21-2011, 03:52 PM

Guys, lets get some suggestions going. Remember we gotta keep the budget to about $1,200 this month as I'll be using some of the funds for supplies.

Some recent suggestions:

'07 Limited - 12 box case for $899
2010 8 box case Certified - $699
2010 Topps Platinum Master - $1,050
2010 Topps Supreme 8 box case - $1030
2010 Topps Prime Master - $1,115
2009 SP Authentic - $1,100
2010 Unrivaled Master - $905
2007 Playoff Contenders - $865

navydude21 · 03-21-2011, 03:59 PM

if anyone drops out please let me get in on this action. Thanks

monkeymcgee · 03-21-2011, 04:06 PM

I'd vote for Certified or SPA

bravesballer · 03-21-2011, 04:14 PM

Confirm me in.

My vote would be:
#1. Case of 09 Exquisite
#2. Case of 10 Topps Supreme
#3. 4 box case of 10 Topps Tribute
#4. 9 box case of 10 TTT

Mainly want to make sure we carry enough over for next month to bust a case of NT or 5*. If we buy the high end stuff, your looking at 20-30 cards to sleeve. TTT would be about 110. 200 for a Certified break.

I'd start with a case of the base top loaders. I don't know if I'd buy cases of the larger ones at this point since they get expensive and you'll need a variety of sizes to start off with. Something like 5-10 packs of 108, 130, etc whatever is the most common.

You have an address book program that will let you print labels or something otherwise mailday could be hellish.

FreshBreak · 03-21-2011, 04:17 PM

I am IN**********

monkeymcgee · 03-21-2011, 04:55 PM

Probably worth discussing now if all base will be shipped or just #ed/autos/relic cards.

I'd vote for the latter--I don't need any more base in my house

malraisen · 03-21-2011, 05:09 PM

Actually, I wouldn't mind receiving the bases w each break...guess that's something to discuss....

Ohh...yeah..I guess this would be my confirmation...Make it so!!

DCN12586 · 03-21-2011, 05:39 PM

If anyone backs out I'll take a spot.

ThatBostonGuy · 03-21-2011, 06:59 PM

If anyone doesn't join up I'm in! I would personally like the base cards if at all possible as well.

tehchamp · 03-21-2011, 07:17 PM

I also should add that multiple team cards, like dual auto's, dual GU, quad, etc. will be done in usual manner, ie it will be randomed by a mod.

Please let me know on base cards by the way.
Another thing I was also thinking about maybe is that if people do want base, I'll stockpile it up til I fil say a 300 count cardboard box or whatever size and then ship it out. I believe someone suggested that they wouldn't mind me holding their cards until it sort of stockpiles up and get one loot every 3 months or so.
We have roughly half the people confirmed right now, looking good.

I'm seeing votes for pretty much anything to bust, I'd like to venture into something a bit small on the price side this month. I'll try to come up with an estimate on the supplies tonight/tomorrow morning.

achilles01987 · 03-21-2011, 07:20 PM

I want my base! You could stockpile my base, but I'm afraid I'd want my hits quick, seeing as I might sell off some of my pulls. 07 Limited is a great break with not too many cards!

malraisen · 03-21-2011, 07:30 PM

Like I said...I'd prefer my base cards....good idea on the "stockpile" idea, I can just imagine the chaos with shipping @ the end of ea. Months breaks as it is. Would save the group money also.

malraisen · 03-21-2011, 07:39 PM

I know its more work, but there has got to be a way to poll all participants on wanting bases or not. Getting a percentage, say 70/30 who want them, then at end of year randoming all bases that weren't requested for say a fee, or something...I don't know, just throwing stuff out there. Bare w/ me guys, I'm new and still figurinf all this out as I go.

GeniesCreation · 03-21-2011, 07:56 PM

I would like the bases as well...if i'm paying every month, even if the cards aren't great it would still be nice to have. I think this should be fun and I hope I get something worthwhile over the year...LOL

tehchamp · 03-21-2011, 08:00 PM

I will ship out base to everybody who wants it, but like I said I'll probably "stockpile" the base out til it fills a cardboard box.
I plan on ordering 100 count and 300 count cardboard boxes. The reason I say stockpile is because it will make it very easy on me and less costs for shipping. Some stuff will have lots of base, like SP Authentic, some not so much, like 5 Star/NT.
I think I got a good estimate on the price of supplies, I'm going to sort of see how this order goes and then adjust if needed in the future.
My only concern is if we get a very valuable hit and I'm shipping it out, what would you guys prefer to send it out in? I wasn't sure if magnetic holders are good for shipping, or if just use a toploader, etc. Just let me know.

monkeymcgee · 03-21-2011, 08:05 PM

toploader + painter's tape + decoy + team bag is what I use for all my shipments. The mags are okay, but they will add to your shipping costs.
