I don't collect much hockey but was in a 6 box 10/11 SPA group break the other night. I had the Bruins and scored pretty big. I'm not sure if bv are available for this set yet but I figured I would ask. Here was the haul:

Zach Hamill Future Watch Patch Auto /100
Patrice Bergeron Limited Patch/Auto /100
Tyler Seguin Future Watch Auto /999
Bobby Orr/Phil Esposito Sign of the Times Dual Auto

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

i'll vote for option 1. If we can start picking up the $12 teams, I will take the Ravens and Bengals. Also if messingaroundok isn't coming back this month I will take the Panthers as well at the full price.

Obviously its not my turn but if nobody wants the Dbacks, I would be more than happy to take them. Don't want people to feel forced to take some teams they don't really want just to fill it.

When are we going to be able to pick up or draft $10 teams? How are the rules going to go for picking up additional teams?

I just deeper into the checklist and it looks like with relics and autos, over 20 maybe over 25 teams have chances at the 6 hits so it is more than I thought. The Sox and Yanks are heavily favored but that happens a lot. Still some other good teams out there though.

The good news is Tribute is down to $240 at blowout and that isn't even a sale price. The list looks pretty good. Only change I would make is ticket to stardom. I've seen a bunch of that opened and it doesn't look that good and some of the hits are just ticket stubs. My suggestion is to replace it with 2009 Signature stars. $59 per box with 4 hits, usually 2 autos. Or maybe since Tribute is less, 2008 Donruss Threads would be an option at $79 per box with 4+ hits. Since Masterpiece is only 34 bucks a box, could throw 2 more of those in the mix also.

I will go with whatever the majority likes. Just something to remember with Tribute is that only about half the teams have chances at hits.

I'm for 08 elite and 08 masterpieces. Another reason is 07 elite has a lot of non baseball players in it like basketball coaches and crappy basketball players.

Since it is the $10 pick up time I will take the Padres, Mariners, and Cubs. If the Braves are claimed by Prophecy Guy, I will take those as well. Thanks.

EDIT- I meant if the Braves are not claimed by Prophecy Guy

I also like the look of 2009 Signature Stars. For $59.90 you get 4 hits. There are shots at the big USA players who just were drafted like Bryce Harper, James Taillon, Yasmani Grandal, etc with Autos and Jerseys. The Harper is /899 and still sells for $150. There are also vet autos and other nice cards. Just throwing out ideas.

Obviously majority rules but I actually I not a fan of 08 EEE for whatever reason however there are some decnet cards to get out of it. Masterpieces is a decent product..  I know it is a bit off base but what about 09 Ballpark Collection (think its around 125) 4 packs, each pack has one dual and triple GU, then two packs have either 6 or eight piece and two autos.. 12 hits in it..
*



To be honest, I haven't seen much of 09 ballpark. One of the problems is there would be a lot of randoming. I don't know how it compares to 2008 ballpark but that one was team heavy with only about 7-10 teams with hits in it.

Be patient and please read..LOL

Just for fun, like every month, I figured I would try to something together based on the assumed 500 bones…

Based on Blowout cards…12th July

2010 Allen and Ginter- $99.00 (3 hits…maybe random the non baseball or agree to sell the non baseball and roll it into next break or divide it amongst members etc)
2009 Donruss EEE-$99.00 (6-11 hits)
2009 SP Legendary Cuts (4 hits)
2008 UD Heroes- $79.99 (4 hits)
2007 Donruss EEE-$121.99(4 hits)

Totals: $484.73
Hits : 21-26 (not including case hits or something of that nature)

Here is my thought process and I may be in the minority and that is perfectly fine. Personally I am sick of 08 SPX, I understand the prices for the number of “hits” but I would rather not see it. Also, I tried my best to avoid products that heavily favored certain teams like the Yankees or Red Sox and tried to find products that had quality teams spread out amongst members of the break. It looks like there are two prospect boxes on the list but if you look at 2007 EEE a lot of the big guns are already doing their thing in the majors so it is not a hit and miss type thing.. (See.. Heyward, Weiters, Price, Jackson, Davis, Latos, Scherzer, Anderson, Bumgarner to name a few) Most are all on different teams also. Heroes is a solid product with a wide range of nice cards spread out over a decent amount of teams. Same for Legendary Cuts… 2009 EEE is just a cool product and again spread out with quality prospects on many different teams. Like I said I was trying to think of something that gave value to every teams owned in the break and tried to keep it from being to “specific team” heavy, although hard.  If you actually read this far in my post thanks for the read.

Thoughts to my logic?
*



I like the list. The only change I would make would be to replace the 07 Elite with something else. Sure there are some nice hits but I think we could do 2 decent boxes for the same price. We could even do 08 Elite for $69 which has guys like Ike Davis, Beckham, Porcello, Mike Stanton, Posey, etc. Then with that add something like UD Masterpieces (2 hits with 1 being an on card auto) or 2010 UD (3 hits).

Also if we do Legendary Cuts I would like to throw it out there that the Washington Senators should go to the Twins in case that comes up.
