I'm new to hockey and my allegiance has not been set. I added the Flyers because the colors remind me of the Bengals.

Posted by: northicehero99 Jan 22 2013, 06:42 AM

Anyone else want to check in??

Posted by: northicehero99 Jan 22 2013, 12:41 PM

Also looking for thoughts on products? Checking around it looks like there are not too many new hockey products out there. Here are the ones I found:

12/13 UD S1 $63 2 hits 6 rcs
12/13 Black Diamond $87 2 hits 3-4 rcs
12/13 Artifacts $90 4 hits 2 rcs
12/13 SPGU $121 5 hits ? rcs
12/13 Classic Signatures $130 6 hits 0 rcs

Does anyone have an interest in these products?

I would not mind either SPGU or Classic Sigs, although leaning more towards SPGU as it features current players and more teams for hits.

Post what you like, plan on putting some groups together once we have everyone checked in, so I know our budget.

Anyone have any interest in breaking any of these products?

I am interested in SPGU, don't care about BD, could live with S1 if we do it, same with Classics & Artifacts.

Anyone?? laugh.gif

Posted by: redwing40 Jan 24 2013, 04:48 PM

I like SPGU and Artifacts ,not sure on the Classic Signatures!

Posted by: captkirk42 Jan 24 2013, 06:13 PM

S1 and Artifacts are OK by me and possibly Classic Sigs but not sure about the other two.

Posted by: northicehero99 Jan 25 2013, 06:32 AM

Thanks for the replies so far.

Didn't see the ad for UD Retro, didn't even see it listed on sites. Will take a look for this.

Also, Dwight pointed out that an agreement by the NHLPA means that no new rookies will be included in 12-13 products, so no Yakapov, etc. That stinks and will kill the remaining products for this year.

Thanks for your vote Mike.

I looked into the Retro and basically it sounds like it is releasing in April, the big drawback for doing this for the group is the projected price range of $300-400 per box.

Here is some information I found on Beckett:

I am figuring Mark is in, so I will try to put some groupings together later this week. If anyone has ideas or favoured boxes please post thoughts. Thanks.

Second, shipping cost has went up, and Bill and Brian are working to figure it out but till next month I will cover shipping materials to make up the cost to keep thing's the same this month, sound good?

Not bad with free shipping, just makes it more complicated for you guys to get free shipping on ones to add to it:

I will update payments as they come in, need more vote's also on Boxes!

Do any of you guys mind if I pick up a few packs for the group to open from DA, thinking of picking up a box or two for myself, and adding a few packs of old school for everyone for the break! LMk! Who can pass on freebies? cool.gif




Posted by: Avaholicforever Feb 5 2013, 08:15 PM

Don't mind old stuff that is fine I dig old stuff.

Oh vote yeah.....ummmmm.....


I'll go minority and Group A.

Posted by: northicehero99 Feb 6 2013, 06:35 AM

Sorry Bill, just saw those group box options and they seemed like deals for the amount of hits. Will try to get more 11/12 in next month, since will not be much new anyway. laugh.gif
You do realize you can just drive the Delorean back in time and get his auto when he was a kid. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Gonna vote D, as I like lots of hits.

Votes so far:

Group A - 1 vote (captkirk)
Group C - 1 vote (Avaholic)
Group D - 7 votes (maple x2, Indy x3, redwing, NIH99)

Based on that our winner is group D as that is 9 or 13 potential votes which only leaves 4 votes so no other group can tie.

Posted by: obert22 Feb 6 2013, 12:29 PM

Not that it matters a lot at this point but I'm in for D also. Will have payment in shortly!

Just 3 more payments to get in to order.

12-13 SPGU went up to $140 last week, not sure when the Combo deal will last, right now I'm at $280 at DA, so payments are important and needed as the budget will be close along with the new shipping cost!

Sounds good. We should be able to get through the draft in the next few days, so we should be ok, but if anyone has proxys and wants to submit them, that will work too.

Paul, that is the highest I have ever seen the packages cost. I expected that the Canada and Denmark ones would be more, but not that much more. The most I ever spent shipping was $38, most though were around $30 and we budgeted around $35.

We will have to take a look at this for the next break, as the idea of the group is that it breaks even so the host does not have to pay anything.

Posted by: northicehero99 Feb 23 2013, 04:20 PM

Just a couple of thoughts on the postage issue:

A. One option is to lower the budget for boxes for this.

B. We need to discuss the possibility of a rate change for non-US members of the group. I don't want to raise the overall charge for the group, but I discussed with Bill the possibility of raising the non-US member rate and will have to add $? I try to budget $3-3.50 per slot and it seemed to work OK prior to the rate increase, however that did not work this month. I know Mark (CHF) generally sends an extra $4 for his slot and that still ended up short this month when added to my budget amount.

C. Another option is that we could start only sending base of Owned teams, all others remain with the host. That might cut down some cost, but not sure how much. Or we bump everyone wanting all those cards an extra amount?

These are just some thoughts that need discussed if we want to keep the group going as it is not fair to the hosts to pay for their slot, do all the sorting and packaging, and then pay extra for postage.

If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to share them.

Posted by: bajmurray Feb 23 2013, 05:30 PM

Unfortunately, the most recent USPS rate increase just killed international shipping.

Prior to the increase, a 1 ounce bubble mailer anywhere in the world was $3.00. It is now $6.25!

I know it pretty much has killed US to Canada low end trading for me. Not worth sending a $8 gu across the border and paying $6 to ship it.

Posted by: northicehero99 Feb 25 2013, 12:37 PM

Anyone else have opinions about the postal increase or what we should do as a group. I think our $26 per member is a good price, but the other side is that I don't want the host to have to eat postage.

Assuming we would have 13 members at the $26 for next month that would give us $338 in funds, less roughly $13 in paypal fees (around $1.05 for $26), less $49 postage, and roughly $20 for supplies (toploaders, bubble mailers, sleeves, team bags, etc), that would lower our budget for boxes from $260-270 to $245-255 and I would probably do groups in the $250 range in case prices change.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your interest. I should be setting up a new topic before March, just depends on if we have a host, so if you want in you can join as we have at least two open slots. I am current trying to figure out if we have a host for March as Bill has mid-terms.

Our issue right now is the impact of the postage increase and the best way to handle it for the group, whether that is reducing our product budget, only shipping "owned" team cards and "hits", or raising the group price , etc. I am looking for members thoughts on which way they think is best way to move forward for March.

Posted by: obert22 Feb 25 2013, 08:51 PM

If we need to make a change I would prefer getting all my Bruins cards and just the hits on the other team(s) since I am a team collector.

Would it help if we shipped both Bill and I's cards in one package? If Bill is ok with that of course I could hand deliver to him. I understand if he doesn't want to do that but maybe it would be cheaper to do one package to Colorado instead of two? Just a thought that might help a bit.

I'd be happy to join. I would likely only take hits/rookies/inserts.. I'm not much of a base man unless I'm set building or like a player.

Posted by: obert22 Feb 25 2013, 11:29 PM

Oh and if we need a host I can do it. Haven't done one yet but it would save us money on two shipments as I would have mine already and can delivery Bill's directly. Let me know and I can work on making sure my webcam is working. smile.gif

If we need to make a change I would prefer getting all my Bruins cards and just the hits on the other team(s) since I am a team collector.

Would it help if we shipped both Bill and I's cards in one package? If Bill is ok with that of course I could hand deliver to him. I understand if he doesn't want to do that but maybe it would be cheaper to do one package to Colorado instead of two? Just a thought that might help a bit.

Mark thanks for your thoughts, lets see what other members think.

As for shipping Bills and yours together, that is an interesting thought, but I am guessing he would prefer to receive his seperate, however I will keep it in mind and see what he thinks. I know for me it is kind of like opening a Christmas present, even though I know what was pulled it is still fun to open and see what I got.

I'd be happy to join. I would likely only take hits/rookies/inserts.. I'm not much of a base man unless I'm set building or like a player.

Oh and if we need a host I can do it. Haven't done one yet but it would save us money on two shipments as I would have mine already and can delivery Bill's directly. Let me know and I can work on making sure my webcam is working. smile.gif

Mark, let me see what is going on and get in touch with Bill. Paul cannot do it for March. I will find out and let you know. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry guys, cant host this month, just have to many things going at home, and a vacation time off with the wife and kids at the end of march, I will be in but doubt if I will be around for the break.

I'm good with just the hits, RCs and inserts for mailing to keep cost low, think the base killed the budget last month as far as mailing, I agree with keeping the Boxes under $250 also, SPGU went up at the last minute last month, so covered that also, not what I wanted for hosting the group for the first time, but made it happen! Lol!

Hopefully next month will run smooth with a new plan and budget!

Welcome to the Group Mr. Andrew, didn't know Wombats collected Hockey cards! Lol!

I was able to get ahold of Bill and he cannot host. I have sent a pm to Mark (Obert22) to see if he would like to host. Once I hear from him that he can host, I will set up a topic for March.

I can host! Hate to see us miss a month. I'll get things set up this weekend with blogtv and test it. smile.gif
