March Madness - NYMetsJets March Break
Thanks to some input from some members, I have incorporated some high-end, we've got 2 entries with blowouts promo, and have a pretty even spread of $ over 4 years.
Break has been completed! Recap Video:

Here is the random videos for the three hits that needed to be randomed:
http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/662844/date/bmTGY2XFaeNGYePxbH
Products for this month's break (members must be able to pay by March 24th), the break will be the last week in March:
8 Box half Case of 2007 Donruss Classics - Blowout March Madness Entry #1
6 Boxes of 2008 Limited - Blowout March Madness Entry #2
1 Box of 2009 UD Exquisite
1 Box of 2009 SPX
1 Box of 2010 5 Star
1 Bonus Mystery Box
Potential for Add-on mystery box if we fill at initial pricing (I have buffered in a little extra as I figure some teams will be dropped and prices may have to be further discounted)
March Madness Promo:
As noted above, the 2007 and 2008 product will get us two entries into Blowout Cards Promo for March Madness (I have ordered these already to get us entered in). We will randomly get two teams in the March Madness College Basketball Tourny. If our team wins the whole tourny, we will get a case of either 2010 National Treasure or a case of 2010 Contenders. If our team makes the final four, we will have the option of a bunch of lower value cases. http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/blowout-cards-promotions-other-cool-stuff/137726-blowout-cards-2011-ncaa-march-madness-basketball-promo-2-a.html If we win, we will vote on the product to pick. Each member will get 1 vote for each team they have in the break. We will not retain the teams we have in the regular break for the winning case. We will come up with a way to fairly random each members spot and we will draft new teams for the winning case. I have a method in mind to fairly do this but will wait to try to explain only if we end up winning.
Pricing/Team determination:
Many of my previous breakers from my breaks have claimed certain teams already. Each break, the member who holds a team will have the option to retain the team in the next break. Pricing each each break will vary for each team. I will use my best judgment to price teams fairly. Hopefully the tiered pricing system will allow members who collect teams that may not have the top rookies or legends cards in certain products to still join the break at a lower price.
Break Costs:
The fees collected will cover the cases, all paypal fees, supplies and shipping. The case will be purchased from BLOWOUTCARDS.COM, BigTSportscards, or Atlantasportscards, or other reputable dealer depending on who can offer the best pricing. As always, if for some reason we end up getting a better deal on a case then I have priced the break, I will buy a bonus box to cover the difference.
Payment:
Only paypal will be accepted and is due by March 24th unless other arrangements are made with me. Anyone who can make early payment early is appreciated as I already have paid for some of the boxes myself to get entry into the Blowout Promo. Paypal address is tkdean@hotmail.com
Break Dates/Payments Due:
Payments will be due by March 24 to break the last week in March
Card Determination and Cards with multiple Teams:
All cards will be given to the holder of the team shown on the card. The team in writing will take precedent over the pictured team if for some reason someone is pictured in their old team’s uniform but the card has the new team in writing. Any with multiple teams on the cards will follow the following process. If the card has one team that was a selected “held team” and a random drafted team, the card will go to the held team. If both were held or both random, it will be randomed on random.org. For triples, quads…….., if one person owns more than 50% of the cards teams with their held teams it will go to them. If not, it will be randomed between all held teams on the card (*random/drafted teams will not count for any of the multiple team cards). Any retired stars that played for multiple teams and they are featured in there college uniform on the card will go to the team played the most years for. Any cut signatures or other items not related to an current NFL team or Franchise will be randomed.

As I mentioned above, I tried to be as fair as possible with pricing the teams. Please PM me if you think your team is not fairly priced. As I know some of the spots from last break were just picked up because they were discounted, if you drop, please PM me a price that you would retain the team for and I'll give you first chance to grab them back if I have to discount them further in order to fill the break.
I will give to this weekend to wait for confirmations before opening up the break for new members for unclaimed teams. Let me know any questions.

Hey TK I thought we had until later this week to decide on our teams? In my earlier post I said I would let you know on the Titans. I didn't mean I was dropping them I just wanted to see how my funds were going to be first. If you have to have an answer now then go ahead and give them to Deantap but if you can wait until Friday I would like to have the chance to keep them. Well just lmk thanks.

Hampton and Washington....
[quote=road_runner_1964,Mar 13 2011, 06:10 PM]Hampton and Washington....
Yuck. I wish they would have waited till the morning like they said.
Who knows, maybe Deantap and Washington will carry us to victory! Don't know much about their team?
Still three spots open. Blowout shipment came in today (07 Classics and 08 Limited), so I have half of the breaks wax in hand already!
Saints - $50
Cardinals - $45
Redskins - $45
payment sent for the Giants.
I'll take a stab with the 'Skins. Why not?
I believe it IS a first, yes. I appreciate the fair pricing, so I figured it would be a fun one to join in on.
Where should I be sending payment, btw?
And so it is! Hopefully it wasn't in bright red when I looked last time. I think I'd need to get my eyes checked if so.
No one wants a shot at a Brees auto? Really I know you Saints fans are out there!
I sent mine earlier today. Best of luck, everyone!
Payment sent, best of luck everyone! Hoping for a nice new Taylor myself.
First post has been updated for all payments (thanks guys). Let's keep them coming.
Also, still two spots to fill. Saints and Cardinals still available!
Lets get this Filled!!!!!!! Who wants a shot at Tons of Cards stuff just out of exquisite and thats only one of the 16 boxes.
Nobody Likes Brees, Coloston, Bush, Meachem, ext!!
Don't forget with the draft coming up soon the CARDINALS could be a very appealing team if they choose to go after a QB. Now is the time to get them...
Bengals have just became available as well. All remaining teams will now be discounted to $45. Cardinals, Saints and Bengals still available.
Prophecy Guy Nation has sent payment for the Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins!~
Thanks,
Prophecy Guy
I'll go ahead and jump in on the Saints. Thanks
Teams change made. Now Texans are available. Texans (Slaton/Cushing/Tate/Jacoby Jones possibly Arian Foster RCs but not sure if he has any cards in the products we are doing) and Cardinals (Beanie Wells/Tim Hightower/Doucet/A Roberts/Breaston RCs) only teams left at $45.
Since, I lost out on my PC pickup, I will have payment to you tonight. Ahead of schedule.
Payment sent for the Patriots.
Payment sent for Packers, Bills and Panthers.
Remaining payment sent.
paid
Payments received! Thanks guys.
Since I've got most payments in, I'm going to try to order the products. I think since I didn't have to drop pricing on many spots that we will be able to afford a bonus box again this month! Josh at Atlanta Sportcards usually will give a us a good price for our group breaks so I'm pretty confident this will happen.
Payments are not technically due till next week. But we may be ready to break sometime next week when all payments are in.
Untill then, lets get these last couple of spots filled ($45):
Texans (Slaton/Cushing/Tate/Jacoby Jones/Arian Foster?)
Cardinals (Beanie Wells/Tim Hightower/Doucet/A Roberts/Breaston RCs)
Another Payment made!!
Give me the cardinals too. Now let's see them draft Gabbert or Newton
Hopefully we get paid up soon and can break as soon as product arrives as I want to be able to watch lol.
Payment sent
Paid.
Texans still available. Break will be this week. Who wants the last spot?
I would love to see Washington take out the Heels, but my Buckeyes need to own this bracket....
Paid. Thanks
go ahead and sign me up for the Texans as well. I started the transfer of some funds to my paypal so you'll get the $45 in a few days. Thanks again.
Let's hope the boxes get here before wed so I can watch!
The Agony of waiting!!!!!!!!
Just making sure you got my paypal payment from last week.
I'm not marked as Paid in the first post.
Washington is looking pretty good this morning...
yeah washington is looking good
Annnnnnd never mind that whole thing about Washington looking good.
At least we got to watch one heck of a game. Hopefully the break is half as exciting as that game.
Yeah, tough loss for Washington, but definetely gave them a run for their money. Oh well, maybe next year we'll get our free case.
My Richmond teams (VCU-my grad school alma-mater and Richmond still playing well) so I guess I'm pulling for them from here on out.
Anyway, first post updated with all payments (sorry I missed a couple the end of last week).
As far as breaking goes. I am out of town for work until Wednesday. I expect to have all the boxes when I return and we can hopefully plan on breaking Thursday. I have to leave town over the weekend too so may not be able to ship until next week but I know you guys would prefer to break as soon as possible. How does Thursday work for everyone, maybe around 8:00 ET?
Thursday works for me as well.
Can we break earlier please I have to work lol like 5 or 6 ish
thur find with me
mike
Might be able to do Wednesday and if it's taking too long Wednesday do some Wednesday and some Thursday.
Does Wednesday work for most as well?
I work till 8 but that works better than Thursday!!!!!!
OK guys, back to town and have all boxes in hand! Before anyone says it......I wish we could break tonight too, but I have to catch up on some things in the office tonight and won't have time (and not enough notice to try to give as many members as possible a chance to watch live). But, we will plan on tommorrow around 8:00 ET. We will try to move quickly and get it all done tommorrow and then I can possibly have time to get things sorted and shipped before leaving out of town again Friday.
So 8:00 tommorrow will be the time!
wed at 8.30 would be find with me
Tomorrow works good for me!
Best of luck to everyone! I won't be able to catch it live, but will check in later.

So is it over? Still going? I'm still at work over here.
Break has been completed! A few very nice hits. Getting late for me to get scans up tonight, but here is a quick recap video of all the hits. Sorry for my video acting up tonight because even after rerecording it still doesn't look that great:

Here is the random videos for the three hits that needed to be randomed:

My apologies on my Blogtv connections and problems with freezing, here is what I could salvage from the videos. We had a good 10+ members live. Unfortunately I did have some freezeing and lose some video:

http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/662844/bmTGY2XFaeNGYeNHbP&pos=ancr
I'll do my best to get some scans up tommorrow night. Sorry, I've got to get some sleep now. Been a long week.
Thanks for the Break tk Sorry about the Complaining!!! But you should be use to it with me!
Unbelievable. I give up the Titans for one month and a 1/1 booklet comes out and a Chris Johnson Limted Rookie Auto. That shows how lucky I am. Congrats though Deantap. Also congrats to TK on the Sanchez. Very nice hit!
Well, that was fun!
For any Brennan collectors who may be interested in said card, feel free to PM me! My Brennan collecting days are sadly over, so I'd be happy to trade.
Thanks for the break TK. Congrats on the Sanchez.
Thanks for the break
mike
Thanks for the break
Thanks for the Break but you said the exqusite break you were going to pull a Freeman . Since you didn't just add the Sanchez to my package to make it even LOL .
Thanks guys on another decent break and for the congrats on the Sanchez. Still excited about it but do feel bad when others don't get much nice. There were a couple people that did quite poor this month but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. I'll do what I can to include extras when I can for those who didn't do that well.
Trying to get some scans together now and should have them up shortly.
Thanks again TK. Even though alot of us didn't get a whole lot it's still fun to see others get great hits. I think that's a big part of it. I was also wondering how the teams translate to next months break? Do the members that held teams in this break get the same teams next break or does it go back to first come first served? I was just wondering because I'm quite new to the breaks and I would love to get my hands on the Bears. Thanks again on a fun break. Can't wait until next month.
When u going to post the new break?
Hope some more 09 exqiusite since i need that elusive Freeman auto .
First up some of the best inserts/RC's etc.:
Breaston #/25, Ward #/25, Ward #/50; can't remember the rest but they are lower numbered as well, other than the Smith RC, I think that's to 999.
Next up for Quicksat:
Rough month for three decent teams. Sorry Brent.
Next up for Kpit:
and the Raiders coming through bigtime:
For Prophecy Guy:
For Ernie (we'll keep trying for the elusive Freeman):
For MWood:
For Hail24:
For Booth:
For Randall:
For MSpaugh:
For Highlander:
For JTatera:
For Bajmurray:
(You might want to check with Krazie to see if he's interested in trading for this. Although unfortunately he didn't get any Taylor hits in this break for himself, he may want this due to the sweet Jags patch.)
For Maple19:
Somehow one page of scans dissapeared on me with Mr 264s lower end hits (there were quite a few but I remember a Farve GU, Peppers Exquisite Patch, T Edwards/Mcnabb Dual, Jennings 5Star Base) and Westcoastskinsfans lower end hit (only other hit was HB Blades RC Auto):
But....for Westcoastskinsfan #'d /25:
And for Roadrunner (I think they are both $'d /25 - Conner is for sure):
Last but not least, for NYMETSJETS:
and........
For Deantap:
And this sweet logo patch 1/1 booklet:
Hopefully didn't miss any other hits, other than Roadrunn/Westcoastskinsfan that I mentioned. I decided to start sorting then scan this time which is outside my normal routine and could have missed something. Other then the scanned, there were probably a good 400 more inserts/rookies/parallels.
Thanks again for all who joined. I have things sorted but will most not likely get to ship untill early next week as I'm heading out of town tommorrow.
I personally would like to so the 10 case. But I'm ok with whatever you decide.
Thanks for the break.
Nice i'm good for it lmk how much
Congrats on the Sanchez TK! Better rework that sig picture, lol.
Looking forward to the Exquisite Break, hopefully I'll have a little better luck with the Rams. Still walking around a little funny after the last couple of breaks I've been in, lol.
All packages have been shipped other than the couple that I needed address for and the APO and International addresses. These will go out when I can make it to the Post Office during business hours (most likely Thursday since I'm working out of town through Wednesday).
Also, new break should be on the way once it's approved. Please take a look and let me know about reclaiming your team(s). I would like to try to move as quick as we can on this one (even though it is pricy). Please let me know if you normal members need more time to pay due to normally budgeting for the break at the end of the month (depending on when we are able to pull it all together and we'll work something out).
