We all know Gforce was the winner in a closely contested race for "Hosting" a break. In an effort to see if how "hosts" relate to Great Pulls, I am going to create a poll, just for the fun of it. As with Mr. 264's polls the monthly winner has bragging rights, sorry there isn't a sash to be awarded
"Borrowing and modifying" some of his guidelines this is how we can do it.

Guidelines:

1) Nominations are group breaks pulls.... 1 per month/group.
2) Nominations must be posted in Group Break forum, and posted by the Host who pulled it and please name the participant who receives it.
3) Pictures/Scans, although not required, are extremely helpful. If you have a video link of the actual pull and it's in a short (5 min or so) I can go through those. If you don't scan or take a picture, be very clear in the thread what you pulled.
4) Remember I am human and will miss some things. (yes, I copied that line)


I hope this about covers it. Let me know what you guys think, even if you don't like the idea. I'll aim for 1 March 09 and get the Feb poll out by the 5th for voting.

This is all intended to be fun and showing off some neat cards.

LMK what ya think,
Gottabe & Gottabe Jr. (yes, 2 Judges )

Sounds fun, but knowing me I will probably forget to post my nominations

Posted by: crpalmi Feb 14 2009, 08:18 AM

Good idea Joe. Does this mean every month that the best Carson Palmer and MJD card that gets pulled will win?

Posted by: Gottabe Feb 14 2009, 09:00 AM

Funny Chris

When in the breaks have we ever pulled a Palmer Auto? 0

We just pick the nominees for the poll. You submit the card/cards you want nominated. Then the PEOPLE'S, pick the actual winner.

Great job, Joe......

I am happy to see someone pick this up...

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Feb 14 2009, 09:03 AM

....and that line is sooooo important....

Posted by: 5toosweet Feb 14 2009, 12:29 PM

This includes all sports into one or separate?

Posted by: Gottabe Feb 14 2009, 09:47 PM

It'll include whatever sport you want to nominate a card from..If you are doing multi-sport breaks, as many do, that's fine. Submit the best from the break, not each sport.
We can have the 1/1 Pitcher vs. 1/1 QB vs. 1/1 Point gaurd or 1/1 Goalie.
Doesn't matter. The only seperation to this point will be cost.

1. 1000.00 and below (total product cost in break)
2. 1000.00 and above. NT and Exquisite will have their day

My Hockey break club for Feb., boxes won't be here for my Football one until next week so won't break until next weekend.

http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=210260&st=0&p=1921717&

We in the under $200 area for boxes so need our own category

I think TB40 basketball group break with the Beasley and Rose autos beeing pulled should get nominated

Posted by: crpalmi Mar 1 2009, 10:57 AM

I hope we can nominate more than one but I'd like to throw a few in the ring from our Boxbreakers High End case Break that we did last night (just made the Feb cutoff) so just go with what you feel is appropriate for the poll. We'd be in the high end category for thise break...

Dont forget a certain cut auto from the "regular" feb monthly break Chris.

I dont think its just me that would think it qualifies.

Posted by: crpalmi Mar 2 2009, 02:00 PM

Yep...forgot this one from the regular (newly named Boxbreakers FB Hobby Club Group Break). Went to Kiansdad if you couldn't figure it out...

Posted by: webbgem Mar 24 2009, 10:22 AM

Nice stuff...I think you should add a category for lower end breaks too...they may not get the big cards very often but when they do they should get some recognition. Just what I think anyway.

Posted by: NYMETSJETS Mar 30 2009, 07:17 AM

There were a few other pretty good pulls out of my group break this month but this was probably the best. This went to Patrick (Deantap):

Matt Ryan 2008 SP Rookie Threads Letterman Auto #'d 32/38

Posted by: Gforce083 Apr 1 2009, 01:02 PM

I'm not sure what can compete with this for the month considering UD is fulfilling these!

2008 SP Authentic Chirography Quad Auto /10 P. Manning/E.Manning/S. Young/T. Aikman

Card was awarded to sgmco!!

Posted by: NYMETSJETS Apr 1 2009, 01:59 PM

WOW! That should be an unbelievable card, and your right, definetely will be tough to top that one G!

Posted by: Gforce083 Apr 1 2009, 03:49 PM

sgmco just shot me a picture of the card he got from my break....no need to look at that ugly redemption anymore!

Posted by: sportsfan614 Apr 2 2009, 10:13 AM

Just saw this thread, I was upset when i saw that this card would not qualify for "pack pull of the month". I consider this the Best possible pull from a box that cost less than $100. The card books over $300, and was awarded too Chadb1733.





I understand this is a little bit of a "Risky Nomination", but I'm going to go ahead and post it. Im also want every one to know that me and Hadly have worked out a "pending agreement" (via PMs), and he is fine with how the problem has been fixed. I don't think that negative comments are necessary, since this has been worked out and both of us have moved on. Also just so everyone knows hadly will be in my next group break.

Just to prove that we have worked things out, Im going to go ahead an post a couple of the PMs...

My Message to Hadly...

"Hope you saw my last post on the poll thread...

Check my bucket and let know if you see any thing you like. "


Hadly's Response...


sportsfan614, first and foremost I appreciate your apologetic posts and your willingness to work this out. I think we’re both huge TCC fans and wish to stay in the good graces of all the wonderful traders on this site. I think your heart fluttered the same as mine when I thought that Elway auto was within the realm of possibility.

So, on to the issue at hand…I really like your _________ auto. I’ve never owned a ________ auto and would be willing to forego the cash refund and the spot in the future break if this deal could be worked. I don’t have a current BB Becket to check the bv and only want to check bv because I don’t want to be completely greedy and ask for too much. I did check ebay and they sell for about $__. So if you subtract the $__ cash value you offered in break refund/future spot…it’s about a $__ cash value swing.

Is this reasonable?

Thanks again,
Matt



I only edited the message where there are blanks. Which ever card Hadly wants is his bussiness, and I would apprecate it if there were no negative comments made about this post.


Thanks

Posted by: crpalmi Apr 2 2009, 12:53 PM

I'll throw in a couple nominations.

First from the Boxbreakers Hobby Group Break...this was #/10 and went to BAJMurray;

Posted by: crpalmi Apr 2 2009, 12:58 PM

The Boxbreakers High End Group had so many nice ones I couldn't narrow it to one so just pick whichever one you think is best to represent the break;


To MWS #9/20;






To TCTheMaverick #50/50;





To Joba62x and is #1/1;





To Joba62x;





and again...to Joba62x #22/22 (jersey #);

Posted by: crpalmi May 24 2009, 10:46 AM

Hey Joe, from the Boxbreakers High End group break I'll put Kiansdad Forte Exquisite RC Auto Patch up for the poll. It's #159/199.

Posted by: Gottabe May 24 2009, 01:23 PM

Thought you may have gone with one of the MANY 1/1's.

I am just glad you picked one, I wasn't sure after last night's 1st boxes

Posted by: Gforce083 May 24 2009, 01:29 PM

Just curious as to why that looks like the letter "A" on the Forte and where is there a "A" in "Forte"?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan May 24 2009, 03:57 PM

Nothing too huge, but the Official Football Group Hobby Box Club did hit a Sanchez auto from Press Pass SE, numbered to 120.

Posted by: Gottabe May 24 2009, 05:30 PM

Someone mentioned maybe "Event Used" Rookie day or something like that.
A little odd Exquisite would stoop to EU vice GU on a RC Patch, but we've all seen worse instances...

Posted by: Gforce083 May 24 2009, 11:07 PM

even if it were an "event used" card why would Forte have an "A" on this jersey?

Posted by: crpalmi May 26 2009, 09:45 AM

Yeah we had that same discussion when it was pulled. Who knows with UD...?

Posted by: crpalmi May 26 2009, 09:47 AM

This one was easier for me. Our nominee from our Boxbreakers Hobby Group break was this one numbered #8/20:

Posted by: broscards May 26 2009, 10:37 AM

lol... I think UD just has some random letters lying around..

Where is the "R" in MEACHEM??

Posted by: Gottabe May 26 2009, 10:54 AM

Maybe the "A" from Forte was suppose to go on the Meachum and the "R" from Meachum on the Forte... Just cut them out and swap them..

Posted by: nlr4434 May 26 2009, 12:49 PM

I have a source at the NFL Combine that has confirmed Forte wore a few Walter Payton Jerseys as well as Urlacher

Posted by: crpalmi May 26 2009, 01:10 PM

... as well as Bob Avellini and Willie Gault.

Posted by: nlr4434 May 26 2009, 01:20 PM

LOL not those.

But he did wear throwbacks just like other players have in previous years aka some Jaguars and Ravens patches.

Posted by: Gforce083 May 26 2009, 05:37 PM

Why do they do that?

Posted by: nlr4434 May 28 2009, 11:16 AM

To have different jerseys for players and also at times it maybe whats available for them to wear. (meaning they did not have enough of that players jersey on hand)

Here is a list I found from the 2004-05 SP Authentic Sets where throwbacks were used.

Because Chicago does not have a unusual throwback Urlacher and Payton were used this year.

2004 FOOTBALL SP AUTHENTIC SERIES

A few players at the photo shoot wore Mitchell & Ness throwback jersey's for some of their SPA autograph/patches.

Here is the breakdown for the 2004 SPA's:

Tatum Bell - 1996 John Elway Pro Bowl jersey

Michael Clayton - 1982 Doug Williams T.B. jersey

Cedric Cobbs - 1986 John Hannah Patriots jersey

Keary Colbert - 1946 L.A. Dons jersey

Larry Fitzgerald - 1996 Chris Carter Pro Bowl jersey

Devery Henderson - 1971 Archie Manning Saints jersey

Greg Jones - 1996 Barry Sanders Pro Bowl jersey

Chris Perry - 1996 Barry Sanders Pro Bowl(gold SPA's only)

Ben Roethlisberger - 1976 Bradshaw Steelers jersey

Ben Troupe - 1949 Chicago Hornets jersey

Darius Watts - 1987 John Elway Broncos jersey

Roy Williams - 1983 Billy Sims Lions jersey(gold SPA's only)

2005 FOOTBALL SP AUTHENTIC SERIES

Many players for this series wore Mitchell & Ness throwback jersey's for some, or all of their SPA auto/patch cards.

Here is the breakdown for all the 2005 SPA's:

Jason Campbell - 1986 Doug Williams Redskins jersey

Maurice Clarret - 1994 Denver Broncos jersey with '75th' patch on jersey

Mark Clayton - 1946 L.A. Dons jersey

Vincent Jackson - 1963 Lance Alworth Chargers poweder blue jersey

Adam 'Pacman' Jones -1977 Billy "white shoes" Johnson Oilers jersey

Matt Jones - 1996 John Elway Pro Bowl jersey and 1996 Chris Carter Pro Bowl jersey. UD only used his Jaguars jersey for the gold's(#/25) in his SPA patches, all other patches came from the Pro Bowl jersey's. So if you see any regular Matt Jones SPA patches(#/399) with a Jaguars jersey patch it has been tampered with.

Stefon Lefors - 1995 John Elway Pro Bowl jersey

Ryan Moats -1933 Philadelphia Eagles jersey(blue/yellow patches)

2005 East-West Shrine jersey

Kyle Orton -2005 East/West Shrine jersey
