Thanks for hosting Paul.
Anyone else want to check in??
Also looking for thoughts on products? Checking around it looks like there are not too many new hockey products out there. Here are the ones I found:
12/13 UD S1 $63 2 hits 6 rcs
12/13 Black Diamond $87 2 hits 3-4 rcs
12/13 Artifacts $90 4 hits 2 rcs
12/13 SPGU $121 5 hits ? rcs
12/13 Classic Signatures $130 6 hits 0 rcs
Does anyone have an interest in these products?
I would not mind either SPGU or Classic Sigs, although leaning more towards SPGU as it features current players and more teams for hits.
Post what you like, plan on putting some groups together once we have everyone checked in, so I know our budget.
In with my Bruins.
in with the rangers
I like SPGU and Artifacts ,not sure on the Classic Signatures!
S1 and Artifacts are OK by me and possibly Classic Sigs but not sure about the other two.
Thanks for the replies so far.
UDS1 went down in price and Classic Signatures went up at DA
Oh where oh where can Mark be, oh where oh where can he be???
is ud retro out yet seen a ad on it
i like sigs the rest not that keen on
I am figuring Mark is in, so I will try to put some groupings together later this week. If anyone has ideas or favoured boxes please post thoughts. Thanks.
payment sent
My son got my video camera working so I will be doing some test runs on Blog TV this weekend.
Second, shipping cost has went up, and Bill and Brian are working to figure it out but till next month I will cover shipping materials to make up the cost to keep thing's the same this month, sound good?
Paul,
I'll get my payment in Monday or Tuesday (Feb 4 or 5). Recharging Paypal didn't realize I was almost on empty.

Sorry about the delay, we had a money thing to straighten out, hence the wait
Brian, sadly my Ultimate Collection collection isnt heavy enough for me to get stuck under.. yet
Starting to look for payments. Will put up some box options shortly.
Not bad with free shipping, just makes it more complicated for you guys to get free shipping on ones to add to it:

Not a bad price, I might be able to do it if IRS Wheres my refund is right on getting my refund on Thursday, I can pick myself something off DA with the order.

Double D +1
Hard to say no to a 18 hits and 12 Rc Box Break, better odds for the group.
Take D!
Votes so far:
Group D - 6 votes (maple x2, Indy x3, redwing)
7 votes to go!
Paul any update on payments?
Payment sent!
Payment Sent.
Updated payments. Still need some more votes as 7 left to vote!
I vote for C, would like at least some chance at a Landeskog.
Sorry Bill, just saw those group box options and they seemed like deals for the amount of hits. Will try to get more 11/12 in next month, since will not be much new anyway.
You do realize you can just drive the Delorean back in time and get his auto when he was a kid.
Gonna vote D, as I like lots of hits.
Votes so far:
Group A - 1 vote (captkirk)
Group C - 1 vote (Avaholic)
Group D - 7 votes (maple x2, Indy x3, redwing, NIH99)
Based on that our winner is group D as that is 9 or 13 potential votes which only leaves 4 votes so no other group can tie.
Not that it matters a lot at this point but I'm in for D also. Will have payment in shortly!
Mark
Still looking for payments!
I have the Boxes in my cart at DA, still looking for the rest of payments to order, which items do you want to get for free with my order

Just 3 more payments to get in to order.
12-13 SPGU went up to $140 last week, not sure when the Combo deal will last, right now I'm at $280 at DA, so payments are important and needed as the budget will be close along with the new shipping cost!
Payment sent
I will order the Boxes by noon tomorrow and have Brian start the Draft, if all goes well we can break next weekend or any day of the week after Boxes are in.

Scans of hits on page 6!
Wow, looked like a great break... Some nice stuff in there.
thanks for the break miss it as son would not go to sleep ;; leafs won battle of ontario
Lost track of time and forgot about this "last night" (its early morning Sunday as I type this but still feels like Saturday night)
Looks like it was a pretty good break. Hmmm no Caps hits but it looks like my Draft team Panthers got a couple.
Let me tell ya something. This Mark might be going sking EVERY TIME we break! Very happy camper this month! Loving the trip patch card and got some B's goalies. Ya baby!
Thanks much for hosting!! See you guys next month!!
Mark
Thanks for the break Paul. Sorry I missed it, Ill take everything please
I randomed Nashville 3 times and they went to Brian NIH99
I will random off the other Three teams left in the draft to the group, sorry about that guys!
Randomed each team 3 times......
Atlanta/New Winnipeg Jets/ Mark Obert22
Carolina Hurricanes Bill/ Avaholicforever
Columbus Blue Jackets/ Paul/redwing40
Paul, thanks for hosting and taking the time to post pics of the hits. That is a lot better than me typing them out. Really some nice boxes this month. SPGU was a lot better than what I have seen in prior years with a nice variety of gu and that nice triple Bruins patch. That Letter Marks is pretty cool too. Cannot complain with Zenith and the Markstrom auto rc, nor Lux Suite with the Subban redemption.
There will be a delay in mailing out the packages, my wife sprained her foot monday and it's been alittle crazy here, plus the toploaders for the GU I ordered are the wrong one's and don't fit, need about 8 more to finish I will try to make do and use my own, hopefully Saturday I will get them out, sorry Guy's
Mr.Murray if you want me to pm you the code for the redemption lmk
PMs sent to CHF and maple19 for addresses, packages are ready for mail, Tomorrow of friday! Sorry again for the delay, MOJO on its way!
Packages mailed out this morning, I was not a happy camper after, this could put me right out of doing anymore collecting for awhile or group Box breaks!
Here's the scan of receipt with Tracking numbers, look for your tracking number if you want to track it, Total Cost with DC $48.81
Just a couple of thoughts on the postage issue:
A. One option is to lower the budget for boxes for this.
B. We need to discuss the possibility of a rate change for non-US members of the group. I don't want to raise the overall charge for the group, but I discussed with Bill the possibility of raising the non-US member rate and will have to add $? I try to budget $3-3.50 per slot and it seemed to work OK prior to the rate increase, however that did not work this month. I know Mark (CHF) generally sends an extra $4 for his slot and that still ended up short this month when added to my budget amount.
C. Another option is that we could start only sending base of Owned teams, all others remain with the host. That might cut down some cost, but not sure how much. Or we bump everyone wanting all those cards an extra amount?
These are just some thoughts that need discussed if we want to keep the group going as it is not fair to the hosts to pay for their slot, do all the sorting and packaging, and then pay extra for postage.
If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to share them.
Unfortunately, the most recent USPS rate increase just killed international shipping.
Prior to the increase, a 1 ounce bubble mailer anywhere in the world was $3.00. It is now $6.25!
Anyone else have opinions about the postal increase or what we should do as a group. I think our $26 per member is a good price, but the other side is that I don't want the host to have to eat postage.
Assuming we would have 13 members at the $26 for next month that would give us $338 in funds, less roughly $13 in paypal fees (around $1.05 for $26), less $49 postage, and roughly $20 for supplies (toploaders, bubble mailers, sleeves, team bags, etc), that would lower our budget for boxes from $260-270 to $245-255 and I would probably do groups in the $250 range in case prices change.
Thoughts?
If we need to make a change I would prefer getting all my Bruins cards and just the hits on the other team(s) since I am a team collector.
Would it help if we shipped both Bill and I's cards in one package? If Bill is ok with that of course I could hand deliver to him. I understand if he doesn't want to do that but maybe it would be cheaper to do one package to Colorado instead of two? Just a thought that might help a bit.
Mark
Oh and if we need a host I can do it. Haven't done one yet but it would save us money on two shipments as I would have mine already and can delivery Bill's directly. Let me know and I can work on making sure my webcam is working.
Mark
Yeah, sorry guys, cant host this month, just have to many things going at home, and a vacation time off with the wife and kids at the end of march, I will be in but doubt if I will be around for the break.
I'm good with just the hits, RCs and inserts for mailing to keep cost low, think the base killed the budget last month as far as mailing, I agree with keeping the Boxes under $250 also, SPGU went up at the last minute last month, so covered that also, not what I wanted for hosting the group for the first time, but made it happen! Lol!
Hopefully next month will run smooth with a new plan and budget!
Welcome to the Group Mr. Andrew, didn't know Wombats collected Hockey cards! Lol!
I will try to get a new topic up in the next few days, still waiting to hear from Bill.
hits rc and insets of all teams and only base leafs
in for both teams this month
I was able to get ahold of Bill and he cannot host. I have sent a pm to Mark (Obert22) to see if he would like to host. Once I hear from him that he can host, I will set up a topic for March.
I can host! Hate to see us miss a month. I'll get things set up this weekend with blogtv and test it.
Mark
