id be in
redemptions have expired btw.
just a heads up.
Justin,
Please choose your first team.
The redemptions have expired (Feb 2010). If redemptions are pulled, I will honor these with something contained in my current collection.
I"ll take the Red Sox please
I will shoot for the Yankees
I am in for the Cardinals...
Updated. 10 spots open. Payment will be due by PP once this fills.
I'll take the Braves
you mind if i switch from the braves to the reds
Got it. No prob.
i take the blue jays
mike
Might have to refill my Paypal to join this.... For now put me down for the Orioles... I might pick up a second team.
Gotcha. Thanks for entering.
Ok. I thought I added a poll. I'm assuming it went invisible so I'll wait and see what comes of it. Basically, I'm looking for feedback on what we break in the following months if this should become a monthly break. I prefer to stay within the Topps brands but would be open to doing something like Diamond Kings or GOTG.
http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2010-topps-triple-threads-baseball-hobby-box
Justin,
I, too, love the Triple Threads. However, I'd like to stay away from the premium products at this time. I do have plans in the future of hosting a premium break but I want the 15X15 to be about everyone getting something. $15 a person and we only get 2 cards so only 2 or maybe even 1 will get something is a little riskier than what I think this group should be about, IMO. Although, I am flexible if there is a clear majority opinion. I do plan on doing breaks like this in the future but, first, I'd like to get this group going strong. Then, I think possibly a case busting group. Then premium. Thank you for your input.
I also would like some suggestions on the advertising panel boxloaders. Complete random or just random between the teams on the panel?
Here is how I feel on the subject matter... if you are going retro brands I would consider Diamond Kings, but I am not touching any Panini brands, it is Topps for me....
.... and I think the boxloaders should be randomed between the teams on the panel...
Michael,
I agree with you. I am a Topps Man. I still love the Dick Perez cards, though.
I also pick up the Dodgers
mike
Our 8th spot is filled so I'll pick my team. I'll choose the Giants. If you know anyone who may be interested in this break, please send them my way.
Michael,
In addition, I don't necessarily think this group should be limited to retro product. For example, 2011 Topps base is set to release February 16. Plus, Topps Chrome is a fine product.
I don't know if it will change anything regarding the break, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. If people would like to keep their redemptions, I heard a redemption program will start in February to honor those that have already expired. I think it may be Topps but I'm not 100% sure.
Good luck to everyone in the break!
Oz
Oz,
Thanks for the info. I'll research this and see what I can find.
Marc
Oz,
I looked for it on the net and all I could find was if you keep on them, they will send you something from the current year. I suppose this could be an option if someone wants to keep their redemptions.
In light of recent information, it seems that Topps may honor expired redemptions in some form. Therefore, if we pull them, the member will keep the redemption. If you receive the redemption and are still uncomfortable with the possibility of Topps not honoring the redemption, you can contact me via PM and either I will approach Topps on your behalf or I will replace it with something from my collection. Your choice. I don't have experience with expired redemptions so I will default to the collective knowledge of the more experienced members.
Still 7 spots left. Is anyone else interested? Does anyone want to grab another spot? I'd like to have this filled by Wednesday. If anyone has objections against me taking extra spots, please let me know. I'd like to accommodate as many people as possible.
Ok. I'm going to order from DACardworld and was going to snag the box of hockey to put back for a free break for members of my group breaks. However, new rules have been posted and, thus, I need to know if we'd rather bust the 2 pack of 2010 UD baseball or 4 packs of 09 UD baseball.
Pm sent , negotiatnons
j
I vote 2 packs 2010
Prophecy Guy Nation is in with the Detroit Tigers!~
Thanks,
Prophecy Guy
Got it. Thank you.
6 spots left. Is anyone else interested?
I am in, not sure what team yet, I sent that stuff to ya
j5
Gotcha! Who else wants in? 5 spots left.
If it helps I'll snag a second team for this month only. The Nationals. My Paypal is reloading will be available on Monday.
Excellent. Thank you.
Anyone else? If I can get 1 more, I'll take any spots that aren't gone by Saturday.
marc just pick my team for me my brother, eh nvm
White Sox
j5
We still have 4 spots open. Who's gonna join today? This is a great break for the money. It boils down to $3/box for 2 teams and each box has 2 hits. That's 10 hits plus every other box contains a 59 Topps buyback. Just sayin.
Prophecy Guy Nation will take a second spot with the Chicago Cubs!
Thanks,
Prophecy Guy
Excellent Excellent. Thank you so much. This break is now guaranteed! Still time to get in if anyone else is interested.
Sweetness!
Marc, I am having buyer's remorse... and a northern California guilt trip...mind swapping the Giants for the Cards?
I'm picking up another team with the Phillies. That leaves 2 spots still unfilled. Anyone interested today?
2 spots left. Who wants in? I'll be picking up another spot after the Illinois/OSU game today if we don't get anymore takers. I'll be sending out emails tonight with my Paypal addy. I'd like to get these boxes ordered by Tuesday at the latest. Thank you to everyone who has joined the break. I'll have random teams up tomorrow and I plan to do it live. I'm going to try a test run with ustream tonight.
Thanks again,
Marc
The Illini lost I am taking the Indians which leaves 1 spot open. If I don't hear anything by tonight, I will take the last spot as well and get these ordered.
Since we haven't had any takers on the last spot, I'm going to go ahead and pick it up with the A's. I'll order these boxes as soon as we have the majority of the payments in. I'd like to have them ordered by Tuesday. E-mails coming.

Finally received update on the status of these boxes. It seems they were held up a few days due to the weather. Estimated delivery is tomorrow. So I plan to break them when they get here live via UStream approximate time 4:30 PM CST.
Sweet! PM coming!
It's gotta be better than my stash from 1987. The boxes just arrived. Don't know if I can wait another hour but I'll try to contain myself. Heading to Ustream to get everything set up.

First Hit - Box one - Unopened original 1959 Topps BUyback and a Real One Auto (pirate player) Mike aka Tarasadie17 CONGRATS!!
This is,
Unopened original 1959 Topps BUyback
What?
yes he wilo
j5
Sooooooooooo. I think that went ok for my first group box break. If you missed the live stream here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/channel/msw-sportscards15x15 Those of you who did see it do you have any suggestions. I already know that I'm not going to do that many boxes at one time again...probably max 3. For $38/ box I didn't think we did too bad but I would have been seriously disappointed if we had busted those boxes when it released.
Some of the highlights were:
Bob Smith Real One AU - Pirates
Carl Erskine Buy Back- Dodgers
Pirates Common Buy Back
Travis Hafner Clubhouse Collection Relic
Carl Crawford Clubhouse Collection Relic
Ichiro #ed 559
Several Chrome Cards
Black Bordered Chrome
I'll have a complete list of notables up soon as well as the randoms done.
Thanks for joining me,
Marc
That was weird. The sell sheet said one AU or Relic/ box. In 2 of the boxes we didn't get either but in one box we got 2 relics. It also said 2 Chrome/ box and we averaged more than that. Wonder what was going on. I guess across the spread we did pretty well with all the chrome cards we received and getting the AU + the 2 Buy Backs. I'll have a list soon.
Thanks,
MArc

Thanks for breaking, Marc.
OK. Sorry it took so long to get to this. It's been a crazy week and a half between school, birthdays, and work. The teams have been sorted. The multi-team and non-sport cards have been randomized and I will get these packaged up and sent out ASAP. One thing I forgot to list was the SPs. Some of you are going to be very pleased on this end. I will update transactions with a list of all the cards you'll receive.
Thanks,
Marc
Once again, I apologize for this taking so long to wrap up. Everything that's headed for one of the states is on its way. For the packages heading to other countries, I am taking off early tomorrow so I can be sure to get to the PO before it closes.
Please accept my sincere apology and thank you for your patience. At this time, I don't think I'm cut out to be a break host and won't be hosting any more paid breaks until I receive that pretty little teaching certificate and have my summers free. Perhaps, the situation will change once that happens. Now that I have seen what actually goes into hosting a break, I have a much greater appreciation for the guys who do this well. From here forward, my contributions to the site will be in the contest and giveaways forum and the baseball trading forum. Swing by and say hey sometime. In addition, I will be hosting a free break for all of you in the near future. I will let you know when as soon as I know.
Marc
Thanks for taking a shot at hosting, Marc. Yea, not an easy task sometimes. Especially when there is a lot of sorting to do and if you do Press Pass Football.....geeeez...you gotta figure what team they are on too...
Michael,
Your I tried to PM you and it said your box is full. So I will post my message here and hope you come across it:
Michael,
Please send me your address again. I apologize for the ad panels. I had meant to tape them and then couldn't remember if I had after I shipped. I fully intend to replace these.
Thanks,
Marc
Thank you for the offer Marc, but no need. Mistakes happen.... plus you made up for it with the gum!
