Welcome back to the High End FB Group Break as we get back to breaking after a couple months off. In the middle of our 4th year together I think we needed the break! Some talk of alternating months between this and the Hobby group and while that is still a possibility I am bringing back both this month and we'll see where to go. After the break we may have some owners changing or dropping teams so please let me know as soon as possible so I can keep the list accurate.

Cost: $115
Payment Due Date: August 20th

Would be nice to do that instead of inception again to stick with the usual three year idea which we do detour from sometimes but I'm up for inception again

I liked inception as a 1 time filler, but would definitely never want to see it again.

Panini had a cool behind the scenes video of the jerseys they are using for timeless football and how they are using game dated jerseys and photos from the day the jersey was used on the cards, it sounded pretty neat. Who knows what they will look like but I would like to see it as filler next month for sure. Here is the video:
Timeless Football

Chris, can we do a NT month?

I think that would be fun to do back to back with an all Exquisite month, for old time sake

[nlr4434]

Lets do nt again and inception would be nice in th future

[GoGiants78]

Plus 1, never want to see it again. Along with 2011 Exquisite.

I would vote for cases of 09NT and 10NT and if we have any extra I'd vote for Timeless Treasures as our filler as I'd like to continue getting 2011 products in there even just as a filler until the big daddy's come out.

As for the redemption, with them saying that they have supply in stock to redeem in quick order, I would lean towards redeeming and receiving so it can get sent out to the rightful owner. If folks would rather see it randomed I can live with that as well but that's my .02.

I also say Timeless Treasures would be fine as a filler product, as long as it isn't a main product for the hi-end.

No one has seen 2011 yet

But seriously I cant wait for 2010 exquisite again, I think its one of the better products outside of the college uniforms of the last decade

And Chris redeem that puppy

[Cardman123]

Since we got the Endorsements redemption, here is the list of possible cards. I think the impressive list just re-enforces the fact that Chris should redeem it and sent it to the rightfull owner:

Sorry it is 2010. But IMO 2010 Exquisite is garbage. Not sure what you think is so funny. Go take some more pics or whatever you do.

My vote is for CHris to redeem it and it goes to the correct team owner. I hope it is an Eli Manning Auto though. I would rather see a case of 08 UD Premier than 2010 Exquisite again.

[nlr4434]

Sorry it is 2010.  But IMO 2010 Exquisite is garbage.  Not sure what you think is so funny.  Go take some more pics or whatever you do.

Oh lighten up and I was just laughing as 2011 is not out, not that hard to figure out.

And I think 2008 Premier is Garbage and Redemptions are dicey going before 2009 now.

And got a shoot tomorrow, thank you very much.

[Cardman123]

I'm not a big fan of the college uniform products, but I think 10 Exquisite does a pretty nice job of them.

The biggest negative about it is (typical of Upper Deck) the large amount of redemptions in it. I was in a different group break last week with a case of it, and every box in the case had a redemption UGH!!. However, only one of the redemptions was a TBD...the others contained the card #, so we were able to figure out who it was supposed to be.

All in all...not a bad product, but I haven't seen a lot of WOW factor come out of it.

I agree the Redemptions is a PITA, I have not seen much wow since I got a Bradford to 5 Auto Patch from another Board Break.

The Kelly is nice and I think its a product that spreads the wealth better than a lot of other products and offers a nice consistent alternative to NT. Plus, the Rookie Class is still fresh and newer which is nice unlike the 08-09 products

[kpit1978]

Thanks for the break Chris. I've said it from the start. I really like the '10 Exq. and will look forward to it whenever it's included. And yes, please take some more pics Brit.

[quik59sat]

And yes, please take some more pics Brit.

[Hail24]

Hey congrats BOB on the Kelly that is a sweet card. Also thanks Chris for the Ingram Inception Red Auto I appreciate it. I didn't get a lot of hits but at least I got a big one. Sorry to all of you that didn't hit anything hopefully next break will be your turn. Thanks again Chris

I vote that you redeem it also and give it to the right owner. In a high end break like this I think that is only fair.

[crpalmi]

Ok guys, I'm going to go ahead and redeem it and will update the thread when we get something. I'm still waiting on UD to send a replacement card for the 09 Exquisite box where we were missing the bonus pack a few months ago too.

[nlr4434]

Thanks Chris for redeeming it pretty sure that I dont have a team in the hunt, but I am glad the rightful owner gets it.

I truly am thankful you do these breaks for us.

[Gadsden86]

Nice break guys. Whoever has the Dolphins. LMK if you will trade the Ronnie brown that looks like a great card.

[crpalmi]

Thanks Chris for redeeming it pretty sure that I dont have a team in the hunt, but I am glad the rightful owner gets it.

I truly am thankful you do these breaks for us.

I think it's the right way to do it...hopefully it doesn't take too long to redeem.

As for the breaks, I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't having a good time!

[Joba62x]

I think it's the right way to do it...hopefully it doesn't take too long to redeem.

I really wonder why they didnt put a name on it? There has to be a reason- maybe they are waiting to see how many they have to make and will pay the cheapest guy, or maybe they are sick of people complaining about waiting to long so this way you cant complain when they cant get it made.

when you type it in let us know what it says , i'm really curious about how they handle it.

I'm not a big fan of the college uniform products, but I think 10 Exquisite does a pretty nice job of them.

All in all...not a bad product, but I haven't seen a lot of WOW factor come out of it.

Yeah repeat dallas clark autos , a miss-signed book and that ridiculous TBD auto certinly did not bring the wow factor. I really dont like how small the window is on the rookies.

But it does have a respectable checklist and the quad relics in the jumbo card are pretty neat, the /10 with prime college logo and helmet
