I will send a pm when we have that figured out. Matt and Bill cannot break this month, so I am currently seeing if another member will break.

Posted by: MattyMak Apr 2 2009, 09:46 PM

Sorry guys but me and krista are out... gotta start looking for our own place and need to be saving money, hope you guys have a good month!!

Posted by: northicehero99 Apr 2 2009, 09:49 PM

Gonna throw some box options out here, but if anyone else has any ideas please add them.

A.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 ITG Pipes $ 90 (1 gu, 1 au)
Total $299 (3 gu, 5 au)

B.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 SPx $ 91 (2 gu, 1 au/gu)
Total $300 (4 gu, 5 au)

C.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 Black Diam. $ 63 (2 gu, 1 au every other box)
06-07 BAP $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $330 (4 gu, 12-13 autos)

D.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
06-07 Hot Prospects $ 57 (2 gu, 1 au patch)
06-07 BAP $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $324 (4 gu, 13 au)

I am pretty sure most of us would like to open Champs and SPA, but please voice your opinion if you want something different. On Champs my box was short, but I opened a second box and it had 4 au, 1 gu, and the guy next to me got 2 au, 2 gu from his box, so we could end up over or short on that product since the boxes have not been following the odds.

Sorry to hear that both of you are leaving the group. Good Luck with your savings and as we told Steve, some things are more important than cardboard. Thanks again for all of your help over the last few months with the group.

Posted by: sahetu Apr 2 2009, 10:10 PM

I'll take a slot (Rangers). I like option D. smile.gif

Posted by: urbanmonk Apr 2 2009, 10:32 PM

Brian,

Put me on the waiting list or if spot open go with Dallas (not sure that I can afford it, but sounds like I may be breaking anyway so save some postage).


Dwight

Posted by: Avaholicforever Apr 2 2009, 10:51 PM

If Dwight does end up hosting and a slot is not available, I insist we do the following...

My slot would automatically take the Dallas Stars as my second team (I would not draft as a result). Any and all Dallas Stars cards would go to Dwight. If he does the hard work, he should get a chance at hits along with the rest of his

Now if we end have an open slot, I will pay cover Dwight's slot as a whole, and both of us will get drafted teams as usual.

Oh, and Brian I am in for the month. laugh.gif

I'm in again...

If no one else wants to break I can break. I like ripping boxes and packs smile.gif

I like option C or D

Posted by: Tromni Apr 3 2009, 12:36 PM

I'm back for more.

I like B and D. Definitely want Champs and SPA, the rest is really just gravy.

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 3 2009, 03:02 PM

I know I'm out so my vote probably means nothing but I would say D and that Derrick should break so you can get some curtain action for Ribeiro since he'll probably bust at my place laugh.gif

Also may I just say that I'm OFFICIALLY loving SPA this year! I buy tons of packs of it last year to get absolute garbage and today I try one pack of 08-09 since it's looked great and out of that one pack I pulled an Oshie SOTT smile.gif
Needless to say, GO WITH SPA! wink.gif

Good luck guys!


Steve

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 3 2009, 03:57 PM

I really would like to see SPx be left out. I don't like this years SPx, I think it looks horrible, with the exception of the base cards. Please no SPx sad.gif

Derrick, I only put the SPx in to give us some different box options. Not big on options A or B due to the amount of hits, but wanted to give some choices with only 08-9 products.

C or D if I had to choose wink.gif

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 3 2009, 05:51 PM

That's understandable Brian, I see where you are coming from. I'm gonna have to vote for option D

Gosh I wish I wasn't saving for college sad.gif Hopefully Derrick is able to break this month so I can "assist" wink.gif


Steve

Posted by: northicehero99 Apr 12 2009, 08:12 AM

Everyone, this month Derrick is going to be breaking for us, with the assistance of Steve aka TMacfreak91. Look out for the Ribiero curtains. laugh.gif

One of us will be sending a pm shortly concerning which paypal account to send your payments to.

In the meantime, I looked at Blowout cards for the items in Option D and found they were about $21 cheaper:

D.
08-09 Champs $102 vs 109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $92 vs $100 (3au)
06-07 Hot Prospects $ 54 vs $ 57 (2 gu, 1 au patch)
06-07 BAP $ 55 vs $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $303 vs $324 (4 gu, 13 au)

I would suggest we use them if their prices do not go up by the time we receive enough payments, or unless Derrick or another member knows of someone cheaper.

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 12 2009, 10:24 AM

Brian - Lets just go with blowoutcards since they are cheaper. Unless someone else finds a cheaper site or shop

Posted by: vladic69 Apr 12 2009, 02:49 PM

If we don't find someone to take the slot I'd be able to take an extra slot this month.

Mike that sounds fine with me. The people I have pm'ed have either not replied or cannot do it this month. I can keep trying if you really do not want to take an extra slot this month. Either way works for me just lmk.

I am good with that, but suggest we double check pricing once enough payments are in to order, just in case DA lowers prices or Blowout raises theirs.

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 13 2009, 02:58 AM

Brian, might I suggest a local shop near Derrick and I? His prices are just about always cheaper than online prices and he doesn't usually charge extra for tax. He's a great guy and he sells cards right around cost.

To those who question whether this is too good to be true, here's just a sampling of his prices - SPA $85 vs $92 on Blowoutcards. Also, most places around here sell packs of 08-09 Trilogy for $20-$22/pack. His price - $16/pack (I pulled a Stamkos out of these smile.gif )

If you want, Derrick and I can probably go to the shop and get an estimate of what the overall cost for Option D might be. Who knows, you may find yourself with enough extra money to buy an extra box smile.gif

Steve

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 13 2009, 03:02 AM

Oh and now that I know for sure that Derrick and I are breaking, I've got a little surprise Ribeiro to display wink.gif

Steve it does not matter to me where we buy as long as we stay within the budget of $325 and if we can squeak some extra packs or another box out of the difference that is fine. The only issue you might face doing it that way is the time it takes paypal to send a check to you (unless tied to bank account) as I think that will take a week or more, or unless your shop will take paypal? Figuring most payments will be to you later this week you might not get a paypal check until the last week of the month, if that is what Derrick would have to do to pay for the boxes.

My philosophy on this is the more product we open the better the odds that hits are spread around so I am all for cheaper prices. I am not sure why DA is so high and even Blowout, as my dealer has SPA for $87.

As far as I know, the shop owner does a lot of work on the bay so I am just assuming that he would accept PayPal. Derrick and I are most likely going to the shop shortly so I will talk to the owner and find out what he might do for us.

OK see what he says. Thanks.

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 13 2009, 09:06 PM

While for the most part his prices were cheaper, overall it looks like Blowoutcards is cheaper.

OK. I think once enough payments are in double check prices at the different choices and go with whichever one is cheapest. If there is enough left over see what fits the difference between the budget of $325 and the total for the boxes. So if there is $20 left over get some packs or a pack of Trilogy or something as I do not think there will be enough for another box.

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 14 2009, 04:37 PM

I think Blowoutcards is going to end up being the cheapest in the end.

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 15 2009, 09:35 PM

Yeah once we see what the difference is, me and Derrick can hit the shops and see what we can get wink.gif

Did not get a reply from Bill on the PM. I was thinking that you have it since you wanted it first, unless you have changed your mind or if you want to pm Bill and tell him what you were thinking. I think you both are thinking alike, if I am remembering your pm.

Received payments from Mike, and Bill, also received an eCheck from Thomas, waiting for that to clear

Posted by: vladic69 Apr 17 2009, 09:34 AM

Payment sent X2 give me the Stars for the second slot

Posted by: TMacfreak91 Apr 17 2009, 10:12 AM

I'll check with Derrick today, but by the looks of things, he should have enough payments collected to order now smile.gif

I can't wait to help you guys bust this stuff! It's killing me to not be a member of the group anymore sad.gif

Done.

If Derrick has received this he should have 13 payments, 1 echeck, and we are waiting on payment from maple19 (unless he sent).

13 x $26 should be $338 enough to pay for our budgeted amount of product depending how much in fees paypal took.

We should also get the draft rolling this weekend.

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 17 2009, 01:43 PM

Received payment from vladic69, still waiting for Thomas's eCheck to clear, and Mike maple19's payment. We could order now as I have enough to order the 4 boxes. Brian drop me a pm what you would like me to do

As of tonight this price difference still stands between Blowout ($303) and DA ($324):

D.
08-09 Champs $102 vs 109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $92 vs $100 (3au)
06-07 Hot Prospects $ 54 vs $ 57 (2 gu, 1 au patch)
06-07 BAP $ 55 vs $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $303 vs $324 (4 gu, 13 au)

Based on that I would say go with Blowoutcards unless you can get it cheaper.

I'll miss it tonight for sure, but I'll watch the video in the morning. It's hard enough convincing my wife that every other night hockey is the most important thing, let alone adding in the off nights too. wink.gif

Of course, it's looking like this will not be an issue for next month's break given how the Caps are combining bad bounces, a lack of effort, and hitting the post so well.

That Varlamov rookie was a huge pull! I'm really pumped!

And the Sign of the Times design is sweet. I hadn't seen that yet.

I have to agree with Steve, that this was not the best month for hits. There were definately more bummers than highlights, but the SPA was the best with two nice Doughty autos (one a FW), the Varlamov rc. The J. Staal rookie year jersey in Hot Prospects was not a bad hit either, but the Rookie patch redemption was eh! Champs really was not great, but I guess we should not complain, we did beat the odds (got 4 hits), but the extra was a duplicate. laugh.gif Should have went with 07-08 BAP as opposed to 06-7 to allocate the years better and maybe get some better hits. Overall this was not bad just not great either. Here is hoping next month we get the hot boxes and super mojo!

Well put Brian. I also wish that instead of one pack of Trilogy you would've gone with a Series 1 blaster as it would likely get us a few YGs which would've meant more hits (more than likely) to be spread around.

I dunno. 1 nice jersey vs. a blaster with 2 YGs? I'd take the trilogy pack any day.

Definitely not the most inspiring of months. We couldn't even find a lot of star player minis in Champs. I think mostly, Champs was not the best choice for a group break like this, since it's more of a set builder's product. But I was just as curious as everyone else about it, so it was worth a shot.

So not a great month, but not too bad. And there's always next month to turn it around. I would definitely bust SPA again. With the Notables/HoloFx/Limited it's really become the most fun of any product this year. Plenty of minor inserts to keep things interesting from pack to pack, plus the usual 3 awesome hits.

Well usually Mark I see an average of 3 YGs from blasters and with the amount of good rookies in Series 1 this year I would've liked to take a shot.

Also I couldn't agree more about SPA. As I stated during the break, I LOVE SPA this year. I bought one pack and got an Oshie SOTT...awesome design this year too IMO.

My blasters have always been dead on at two per. laugh.gif Besides I think full boxes of S1 are more reasonable at $53 vs $20 for a blaster considering they give 6YGs, 2 gu, and a chance at a UD Exclusive #/100 or a case hit. Also on the Trilogy, I thought we might get lucky with an Ice Script or something. Still for the price we did OK.

Maybe next month we can work in a box of UD S1 and UD S2 since there is not much other new stuff. Not sure will need to see what everyone is interested in.

Maybe something like this:
08-09 UD S1 $53 (2 hits 6 YGs)
08-09 UD S2 $59 (2 hits 6 YGs)
08-09 SPA $92 (3 hits)
Whatever else $120
Total $324

Forgot about that. We can always add that into the mix.

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 24 2009, 08:32 PM

The extra $120 if were lucky could get us maybe a box of Artifacts, and a box of BAP, which both in my opinion are great for their value.

If anyone doesn't want their base, because I know some people in the past have not wanted their base, let me know before I package it all up

Is Brian the only member that gets a transaction related to this month's group box break? tongue.gif

You can keep my base. smile.gif I want my minis and rookies though! tongue.gif

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 24 2009, 11:04 PM

Andrew you only had 1 Rookie and 4 minis lol

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 24 2009, 11:24 PM

Ok everyone, I think that I've gotten all the transactions posted. If I forgot anyone, please let me know. I will most likely be shipping on Wednesday. If anyone wants anything specific to do with the shipping of their cards, you can let me know in a PM. Thanks everyone

Personally, I don't think it would be a good idea to bust S1, S2, and SPA all in one month, I just think it's a little overkill in terms of base for one month. Here's what I might suggest, assuming the budget is still $325:
Option A -
08-09 UD S1 $53 (2 hits 6 YGs)
08-09 SPA $92 x 2 (6 hits)
08-09 BAP $83 (8 hits)
Total $320 (16 hits 6 YGs)


Option B -
08-09 UD S1 $53 (2 hits 6 YGs)
08-09 SPA $92 (3 hits)
08-09 Trilogy $123 (6 hits 3 RCs)
07-08 BAP $58 (8 hits)
Total $326 (19 hits 9 RCs)

Any opinions?

i want my base

Just a note, I will be out next month. I'm limiting the amount of groups I'm in now.

Posted by: Tromni Apr 25 2009, 07:56 AM

I like the timing. Get a Varlamov rookie on Thursday, have him post his second playoff shutout on Friday.

Now I need to find a Series 2 blaster before tomorrow's game 6 so I can do it again!

I definitely want my base, and I really like the S1/SPA/Trilogy/BAP config (option cool.gif for next month!

Posted by: geschrocks33 Apr 25 2009, 08:00 AM
