After 3 Case Breaks of SPA I figured everyone would want to move on to the 2009 products or some other 2008 product. Instead I discovered that the members of my group breaks (myself included) are SPA-aholics. I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever be able to tear ourselves away from SPA. I guess only time will tell. Remember guys: admitting that you have a problem is the first step towards breaking addictions.

1 Case of 2008 Upper Deck SP Authentic!!
Configuration: 12 boxes per case. 24 packs per box. 5 cards per pack. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS - One (1) Autographed Memorabilia card in EVERY box, on average! - Including an unprecedented eight (8) Rookie Autographed Patch Cards in EVERY case, on average! - Two (2) additional Autographs in EVERY Box, on average! - Look for Multi-signed cards falling two (2) per case, on average - Look for 1-of-1 Autographed Rookie Logo Patches! - All autographs are signed on the card!

Total of 36 HITS!!!

Price per spot = $80 for returning members and $82 for first timers!!
Each spot gets you 1 picked and 1 random team!!
Each additional random team you would like will cost $30.
Falcons and Raiders are Random

Now to the boring stuff!!
Here is how this and all my other breaks in the past have worked:
1. Once the break fills I will begin accepting payments (paypal preferred)
2. Once I have received payment from everyone I will do the random team video (via random.org). The teams will be posted in this thread and a video will be added to my youtube channel. I will also order the case/boxes at this point.
3. I usually like to create transactions with everyone after I receive their payments; that way I am not creating transactions with people who will eventualy drop out.
4. I will provide periodic updates about the estimated time of arrival for the case/boxes as well as the time and day I expect to break into the case/boxes.
5. I will break the boxes/case live on ustream and will have the break filmed (thanks to my wife) and posted on youtube likely the day after. I will also posts the hits of each box in this thread as well as scans.
6. If any cards are represented by more than one team the preference will go to picked teams over random teams. If this is unclear send me a message and I will explain it to you. The excpetions to this rule are the raiders and falcons because they cannot be chosen. Any cards representing the raiders or falcons and any other team will be randomed off on random.org.
7. Also I take great care of the cards from the moment I pull them out of the pack. If any of your cards are damaged when you receive them I can guarantee you they were like that when they were pulled. I try my best to examine the hits when I first pull them out so the owner will know it was not something of my doing.
8. If the product contains an enormous amount of base cards I will ship out three duplicates of each. Any cards #'d higher than 100 will be shipped in team bags along with the base cards. Any cards #'d less than 100 and autographs will be shipped in penny sleeves and top loaders. Any jersey/patch cards will be shipped in magnetic protective cases. All of these items will then be placed in a bubble mailer and shipped as soon after the break as I am able to manage.
9. If you would like a delivery confirmation number on your package(s) all you have to do is ask. I will state however that I have shipped out close to 200 packages so far and every single one has been received by the correct owner. That being said, I still understand if you would like to take the extra precaution.

If you have any other questions that I have not already answered feel free to send me a pm.

Let me know if you guys would like additional random teams or would like another full spot!!

Everyone who was in the last case break of this product has the choice of keeping their spot or switching to a different team if they would like. If you were not in the last break let me know what team you would like and I will put you on a waiting list!!!

As always if anyone already on the list does not wish to particpate just let me know.

"admitting that you have a problem is the first step towards breaking addictions. "

Who said I wanted to break the addiction? lol. I'll be needing 2 randoms please.

Only 5 spots to fill this!

[quik59sat]

Put me down for 4 extra randoms...

Correct me if I'm wrong... if MWS takes 2 randoms, that puts us at 12 spots filled... then my 4 extra randoms take us to 14... so... am I correct when I say 2 more spots left?

Pat... I know you want more randoms

[booth9919]

Would love a sot but my team is always taken If the Ravens ever open up put me down

[deantap]

Is anyone interested in trading any of their teams for the PACKERS? I joined another SPA break just to get different teams.

[jrthurmer]

I would take 2 randoms also

[deantap]

Alright, I'm going to stay in this break with the PACKERS (feel free to trade for them if you wish to) and I will add the TITANS for this break. That should fill this Group Break.

[MWS]

Are we full already, or 1 more?

[elguapochico10]

Are we full already, or 1 more?

I'm not exactly sure. It depends on whether you and jrthurmer meant that you wanted 2 additional random teams or 2 total random teams. Right now I have you both down as having 2 total random teams. Just let me know which is correct. If you both do pick up 2 additional random teams then we will be full and I can start accepting payments.

[MWS]

You have me right 2 total.

[elguapochico10]

Alright guys, I just had a reasonably good idea. After each group break, everyone in the break will vote on the best pull of the break. The votes will be sent to me through a pm (I don't want the votes to be cast in the thread). You cannot vote for a card that you received even if you think it is the best card. Also, you cannot vote for any cards I get regardless of how awesome they are. Here is the good part: whoever has the most votes cast on cards they received will get a $10 discount off the price of the next break we do.

Let me know if this makes sense and sounds like something you all would be interested in doing.

[quik59sat]

Doh I think it's 1 more ;;

[jrthurmer]

I would take the ravens (and Random) + 2 more randoms So a total of 3 randoms

[MWS]

Im good with the voting

[elguapochico10]

I would take the ravens (and Random) + 2 more randoms  So a total of 3 randoms

gotcha thanks for clearing that up

[elguapochico10]

Alright, guys!! We've got 1 random team up for grabs. Only $30 for an extra shot at the Falcons or Raiders and I'm thinking we're due for a Matt Ryan patch auto out of this case.

[quik59sat]

Can you switch my spot to the following:
Lions/Random
Redskins/Random
+2 additional randoms?

[elguapochico10]

Can you switch my spot to the following:
Lions/Random
Redskins/Random
+2 additional randoms?

It is done!!! If no one takes this last random by 9pm ET tonight I will pick it up for myself. If you are not interested in this last random spot you can go ahead and send in payment for your spot or at least let me know when you will be able to pay. I understand if you guys are unable to pay at this time because our last break was not too long ago. I don't want to pressure anyone. This break just filled really fast (which is a good thing)!!!

My paypal address is: elguapochico10@yahoo.com

[elguapochico10]

Alright guys, the break is full and I'm now accepting payments!!!

[MWS]

Pm me a total will pay by or on Friday.

Thanks
