BREAK IS DEFINETELY GOING TO HAPPEN NOW! BOXES BEING ORDERED AS WE SPEAK! TEAMS CAN STILL BE RESERVED!

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 18 2007, 09:18 AM

boxes are ordered! anyone else in?

Posted by: poordude9 Nov 18 2007, 05:40 PM

Hello
I have never been a part of a box break like this, but I may be interested. So it would be $8 for a team, and then I get all the cards of that team? What happens with the teams that aren't selected, are those cards distributed between the people that paid for a team?

LMK
thanks
robert

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 18 2007, 08:36 PM

no, you get every card pulled from that team, and then the rest of the cards I get to keep for doing it (it's alot of work). The cards that are multi-team/non-sport are raffled though. Would you like in?

Posted by: poordude9 Nov 18 2007, 09:36 PM

Hello

I think I will pass until I better understand this concept.

thanks for your time.
robert

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 18 2007, 10:03 PM

what do you need to understand about it?
I open two boxes of Bowman Heritage
I post a list of every card I open, pack by pack.
You get every card I pull from that team.

Posted by: poordude9 Nov 18 2007, 10:15 PM

Hello
ummm, well what happens if all the big hits were for teams that weren't picked, so you would get to keep them all. Is someone going to be there while you open these boxes, are you going to bust them on you tube or something. thats the stuff I dont get.

robert

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 18 2007, 10:25 PM

if the big hits aren't chosen, I get them, but usually if your team doesn't get a hit, I give you free cards from your team out of my collection. I would put it on youtube, but my camera doesn't allow me to. I don't cheat people. On Topps Message Board I have done over 20 trades and have 2,000 posts. I will just make a new thread when I break them, and I will post pack by pack. It's just a fun way of being able to break boxes that I can't afford (even if I don't get to keep the hits).

Posted by: cubsfantid Nov 19 2007, 12:21 AM

Wait this is not going to be videotaped, well count me out. Sorry no offense to you I am sure you have very reputable feedback elsewhere, but I've been cheated before...

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 19 2007, 07:23 AM

Look, I've done 2 of these before, and I already ordered the boxes. I could videotape it and just send it as an email attachment to everyone, I just can't put it on youtube. Would that work for you guys?

Posted by: oneoftheguys Nov 19 2007, 08:35 AM

so 28 teams at $8 each is $224 plus $13 each for yanks and sox is another $26
so $250, and 2 boxes cost $110 including shipping, plus $1.50 to ship out the cards X 30 teams (if you get 30 people) is another $45, plus bubble mailers are 3 for a $1 at dollar store so $10 more so you get to keep $95, and say you buy 30 50 count plastic cases to ship cards in, that's another $10(3 for $1)but you say you are only putting them in penny sleeves in a bubble mailer so you keep $85. that is nuts, every other box break i have been involved in the person doing it, kept maybe $20 at the end. and most don't want anything in the end, just the chance to get there favorite team or player cheaper than buying all the packs.

i could do a 3 box break of heritage for $8($13 for yanks or sox) and come out with $35
or make it a 4 box break for $9($14 for yanks or sox) and come out with $10, and would be happy doing it.

box breaks are supposed to be about everyone getting together and splitting the boxes, not making money.

hell we could do a 12 box case break for $25 a team and $35 for yanks and sox.

I was thinking the same thing

I'm not trying to make money on it, just break even, and having the usual amount of people that get in my box breaks I would be just breaking even. Sorry if it makes you mad, but if I were mad at someone I wouldn't go posting on their thread about how it is a bad idea. You could at least PM me. Oh, and btw, my hobby store is $150 for 2. Thanks for your 2 cents

well if you are getting them at a hobby store, why are you waiting for them, if i buy something at the hobby store, i get it when i pay for it, unless it is a presell, and bowman heritage is "live"
and also, at the prices you mentioned, you are making money and a good bit of money, not breaking even.

you are trying to make money at least, and i hope i spoiled it.
anyone that wants to do this at a fair price, PM me and we will do either a 4 box break or a case break at prices i listed above.

Posted by: cubsfantid Nov 19 2007, 12:05 PM

yes, i was interested, but i am going to pass. boxes of that goes for $55 or cheaper. i seen one on ebay going for $53 including shipping. i know that store owners have to make a dime to pay rent and such, but when a customer comes to me and wants to buy more than one box, i give them a price break.

oneoftheguys- i might pm you and get involved.

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 19 2007, 01:33 PM

lol. my hobby shop isn't exactly the friendliest. i don't care if you guys go into another box break, you can call me crazy and do whatever you want. it's your choice.

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 21 2007, 04:30 PM

EVERYTEAM IS NOW $6!

Posted by: dekno2 Nov 25 2007, 02:55 PM

Posted by: cntrlsprtsrck Nov 25 2007, 04:00 PM
