I've always been intrigued with inexpensive cases. Getting an entire case for the cost of a high-end box? Seems pretty cool to me. And the chance to get a piece of a whole case for $3? Seems even cooler.
So, I'd like to introduce my first non-monthly group break: a 12 box case break of 2006 Hot Prospects Football. 36 autos and GU, and plenty of inserts and RCs to go around.
Has the 2006 rookie class gone downhill? Sure! But there are still some great things in these boxes. Veteran autos like Peyton and Eli Manning, Roethlisberger, Favre, Elway, Tomlinson, Jason Witten, Vick, and Philp Rivers. Rookie autos of guys like Vernon Davis, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, Jones-Drew, Cutler, Reggie Bush and Mario Williams. Plenty of good stuff!
This will be an auction format with a $3 minimum bid per team. Minimum bid increases are only $1. Bid are currently as follows:

AFC East
Buffalo Bills - $4, bajmurray PAID
Miami Dolphins - $7, Gadsden86

Total: $360
The bidding will end with the bid that pushes the total to, or past $360.
THE RULES:
A winning bid entitles you to every auto, GU, RC, insert and serial numbered card for your team. You'll also get one of each base for your team, to help cut down on shipping costs. Cards go to the team listed on the card, not the team they currently play for (For example, Peyton goes to the Colts, not the Broncos).
For cards with multiple teams, the following rules apply:
1) If a person owns more teams than anyone else represented on a card (2 teams on a triple auto, for example), they will get the card.
2) If it's an even split (everyone owns one team), we will randomize the winner of the card via random.org among the represented teams.
Shipping is INCLUDED in the cost of a winning bid, EXCEPT for bidders outside of the US. Please add $5 to your total (not per team), as shipping costs outside of the US recently increased substantially.
Payments are only accepted by PayPal!

Payment sent
Payments updated! I've also heard from sahetu, and we've got that set up. I just need to hear from:
Miami Dolphins - $7, Gadsden86
Tennessee Titans - $10, Boston5761
With those two payments in, we're good to go. Speaking of good to go...
Look what just arrived today!
When is a break date?
No date just yet. Still need to finish payments, which should be pretty soon. I imagine within a few days or so, but I'll be posting an update as soon as I know.
Paid for this one.
I'm going to set a due date of tomorrow night, 3/13, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
If anyone would like to cover the remaining spot (the Dolphins at $7), let me know so we have a backup ready if Gadsden86 does not pay.
That being said, we'll be breaking live on Ustream.tv Wednesday at 5:30 PM Pacific OR, today at 5:30 PM Pacific if we can get it paid for with enough notice. Links to be posted prior to the break!
I am in for the Dolphins if needed.
I'm up for breaking tonight. If no one pays for this I will if need be.
I'm still going to give him the full day to pay tomorrow, but if he DOES show up, I'm all for tonight. Just up to him now!
That is an offer I cannot refuse.
Tonight, the break is on.
Justed messaged me back he will be paying soon.

What is the hold up Sam? Did you forget to set your clock up??????
Sorry for the delay, more traffic than anticipated.
Join me here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tcc-westcoastskinsfan
Just ship my hits or lack there of, with my monthly items.
One of the stranger breaks I've ever been a part of! Pictures coming up shortly. I'm going to go work on them now.
The goods!
And then, the insanity of...
SIX FREAKING REGGIE MCNEAL AUTOS. This is only numbered to 299, so we just pulled roughly 1/50th of the full print run.
We also did get two redemptions for Kellen Clemens and Leon Washington, and then these two biggies...
Was a fun break. Thanks Sam!
Thanks Sam that was Fun/Funny break.
Thanks for the break. I wish my ustram account would hve worked so I could have taked to you all. And yes Brian I hate Joey!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the break.
Thanks for joining me, everyone. Packages shipped out this weekend, so keep an eye out. They should be arriving shortly.
Any thoughts on other inexpensive cases that people might like to break down the road?
what about 2007 Donruss Elite football?
http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2011-upper-deck-sweet-spot-football-hobby-9-box-case
http://www.blowoutcards.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_136&products_id=2817
2009 UD Philadelphia 14 box case for about $500. I know it's more than this case, but it's also 14 boxes.
1 auto, 2 relics per box and the auto checklist isn't bad at all.
Each case will have 2-3 buybacks (which is just cool all on it's own), a Chicle auto, and a 5x7 auto. Short prints galore. Yes, there are non-sport subsets, but they can be randomed or equally distributed if people want them (or, you could even sell a spot for just the non-sport subsets). Rookie class isn't terrible.
Take a look at the checklist. Big name auto possibilities.
Yeah, I like sets like this... And I think the autos are on card, too, which is great.
If it goes by bid, I can see some teams going for $5 and some going for $50 (it's a gamble that the AP, Mannings, et al auto hits, however). I think we'd have to break down the checklist and see what teams have more hits, which teams don't (and in that case, perhaps merge team spots for those). I would almost be interested in just a non-sports slot to build those subsets.
I didn't even realize that we'd need a non-sport slot for Philly. Forgot about all of those SPs.
Not a big fan of Sweet Spot from that year, by the way. A lot of damaged cards right out of the box and the quality of the cards in general was sub-par
I like Philly more, but I think there were a decent number of redemptions in that set, and if so, we're out of the range of having those redeemed.
Regardless, I don't think this will be something I do right away. At least a few months down the road so I can recover, and my wife can forgive me for breaking 15+ boxes in 3 days.
