Posted by: crpalmi Nov 18 2012, 10:02 AM

Sorry about the tight turnaround but we need to get going on the next product for the FB Casebreakers group. This group breaks cases of the newest products as soon after release as possible. Our next 2012 product is a 9 Box Case break of 2012 Absolute Memorabilia. Please remember that I cannot accept Paypal anymore for group breaks so please join only if you are able to send payment by money order or cashiers check or how most of our members are doing it now and that's by your bank bill pay (let me know if you need details on how to do this). Only a few exceptions will be made for loooong time members to be able to send a personal check. Sorry about this extra hassle but the savings of paypal fees is reflected in the lower cost as well! Team assignments below are taken from our most recent case break group so please let me know if you are adding, dropping, or changing teams.

There are some very incomplete ones floating out there...no substantial lists that I can find. However, I can confirm there is a 1/1 Elway HOF auto in there as well as plenty of Ostweilers (sp?).

Yeah I am hoping for some Manning Broncos stuff in this set, and it looks like he is in there.

That's it folks, not the greatest results especially for the price point but we had to try it. Really looking forward to Feb when we should have the higher end stuff hit like Five Star, etc..

Thanks once again all for joining. I'll get the site updated with any future products and we'll see when the next break will be. Night all!

Posted by: Cardman123 Dec 20 2012, 12:24 AM

Another shutout....sigh.

Posted by: aceecards Dec 20 2012, 05:17 PM

wow..

looks like a pass on absolute this year

Posted by: BOBKONING Dec 22 2012, 12:15 PM

Thanks again for the break Chris!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

Posted by: dvashun74 Dec 25 2012, 05:22 AM

I personally like the product, I just think we got a so-so case. Thanks for another well run break Chris and Merry Christmas everyone.

Posted by: crpalmi Dec 27 2012, 04:59 PM

Thinking about going with Limited (Jan 16th release date) as our go between now and Five Star in late February. Anybody??

Just FYI...as of right now, Five Star and National Treasures are both slated for March 27 release.

As for Limited, I personally think it is the same as Certified but with less base per box. And, as with almost all Panini products, I'm usually not impressed.

Posted by: booth9919 Dec 27 2012, 06:18 PM

Chris whats the name of your website so I can get in a few other breaks.

Posted by: BOBKONING Dec 27 2012, 08:08 PM

I dont mind Limited. For the price it was in the past, we got some decent cards.

It's just theboxbreakers.com so take a look and let me know if you see anything you like.

Ugh...you're right. I would assume that one of them will be delayed (if not both) but if they do release at the same time it will be tough to do some of the multiple case breaks we have done in the past. Right now NT is priced higher than it's ever been at $2K for a 4 box case while Five Star is a 3 box case for $1300. We'll see as we get closer but keep the opinions on Limited coming or if there is another product coming out that we should be looking at?

Posted by: SchickFaced Dec 28 2012, 01:55 PM

always had a soft spot for Limited so I'm game

Posted by: kpit1978 Dec 30 2012, 10:30 AM

As much as I use to like Limited due to it's mix of rookies, vets and HOF'ers, I've got to say the amount of redemptions the last couple of years has turned this into a product I don't look forward to seeing opened. I'm for skipping Limited.
