Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Boxbreakers 2012 Prestige FB Case Break, Break is complete.

[Cardman123]

Ok folks, I have a dilemma! With this release pushed back I am in danger of not being able to break for some time. I have a 2 week vacation starting Friday morning and while my wife will be home it would not go over well to have her do a break! I was told the release was Thursday but now it shows Friday so even if I get it on release day (which Blowout said they could probably do) it will be too late. I have pushed breaks back before but never that long and never on a Casebreakers group as it kind of defeats the purpose of being among the first to have the cards in-hand. I am seeing if I can delay the trip by a day but I'll be honest it's a longshot at best. I am sorry about this but I don't see a way out!

I say take your vacation and don't worry about us. We know the cards will be there waiting when you get back.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the understanding! I will have to schedule this one for July 14th. Please note the Inception break which was to follow this one has been cancelled as well due to the checklist revealing 9 teams had no hits possible! Over the next week or so I'll adjust the future break schedule.

Sounds good Chris, and thanks for keeping an eye on the checklist. There were nine teams that weren't represented at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event, so for those products that focus only on rookies and ignore veterans, we may run into this problem a few more times, especially with these very early products that rely on materials and signatures from that event.

[Highlander]

Hey Chris ... I'll pick up a draft spot if one is still available. Thanks.

[crpalmi]

Thanks Highlander, you got it. Still have 3 left to sell and I am out of dough so looking for some others to step up if possible.

[Highlander]

PS ... go have a vacation ... for me. lol

Hey Chris.....sent ya a PM, but I'd be in to scoop 2 draft slots(possibly the 3 remaining......just have to check some things)....let me know! and happy vacay!

[Takeobeavis]

Payment on the way.

I can add another draft spot if you are in a bind...just let me know.

[crpalmi]

I think we're good as I may have sold the Ravens slot which would cover 2 slots to allow me to say that the draft slot that is chosen last will actually get the last 2 unclaimed teams. Shickfaced may be taking the remaining unclaimed slot if everyone is good with that.

Personally, I think if someone gets to buy draft slot(s) that hasn't paid full pop for at least one team, they shouldn't be included in the draft randomization. I believe in all fairness, they should automatically go to the bottom of the draft and get the leftover teams after the full paying members got their choices first. Just my opinion....

Other than that, I don't have a problem with Shickfaced getting the last slot(s).

[crpalmi]

I can see your point but it's only because we haven't been able to sell the last slots to any members of the break that I opened it up to outside members. With one slot left if any member of the break wants to close it out that would be preferred but we've had no takers in the past week or so. Joe I know you said you may take it but didn't want to force you into a purchase you didn't really want. Let me know as one more slot will let us proceed to the draft so we are ready to proceed with the break next weekend.

By the way, the beach is hot, the water is cold... Thanks for the vacation guys!

[crpalmi]

Ok guys, the Ravens slot which I thought was sold was just dropped again so we are back to 8 open teams with 8 draft slots. Since we have been trying for a couple weeks now to fill those last 3 slots but have had no takers, I have made the decision to allow Shickfaced to buy the remaining 3 slots. Those will be randomized along with the others. I don't like to go that route but the break is just a few days away and risks eliminating a box from the case if we don't fill and I just didn't want to do that. Since I have a couple slots I decided to ask someone else to randomize the draft order so we will wait for them to help us out and then we can start the draft immediately. I should be back in town and ready to have the break on Saturday evening. Once again, thanks for your patience folks and once I'm back in town and we knock this one out we'll take a look at the release schedule to see what should be next in line.
