QUOTE(11eleven11 @ Sep 12 2012, 12:18 AM) Have to agree with 11 on this one. This should be a high end break and Momentum doesn't cut it. I can't afford to float 4 teams if we start breaking mid end stuff. I hate to say it but I think running 2 breaks has hurt this break as we now have less team owners here. I think we have 3 options: 1. Increase the cost so we can break high-end boxes (I know this isn't popular, but if the product cost has increased we will need to pay more) 2. Break less often. (I don't like this either) 3. GET MORE TEAM OWNERS!!! As an FYI, I may need to drop a team or 2 especially if the product doesn't improve. Sorry Chris, I know it's not your fault, but it just doesn't make financial sense to pay for teams that don't have a chance to get a quality hit.

Sorry Chris, I know it's not your fault, but it just doesn't make financial sense to pay for teams that don't have a chance to get a quality hit. I certainly understand and agree. I'm fine waiting on the 2012 stuff until there's a product we like so maybe just a filler with any extra but I still don't know what to put together for a product list. Triple Threads and Tribute I find way overpriced. Plates & Patches and Limited aren't really high end as we see it. Exquisite and NT are getting harder to find and when you do it's at $600 a box... just not sure where to go on this one? As for losing owners to group #2, we actually didn't lose anyone I don't think. Some of you picked up extra teams in that one so I can understand the strain on the budget but as far as people leaving one break for the other, I can't think of anyone who has done that. We just have a few new folks that were able to get teams they couldn't get in this one which is why I started the 2nd groups. I kept getting emails over and over again that if certain teams came open they'd love to join. Unfortunately we just haven't had enough new folks join yet. Not sure what to do on this one so I'd like to hear more opinions such as Bob expressed above. I can always add old Exquisite from 06 and 07 as that stuff's cheap but I doubt many would support that due to redemptions, etc.. I could see what 10 Five Star is going for but even that is drying up. Thoughts???

There are more teams claimed in High End 2, plus as of yesterday 3 teams claimed over there are unclaimed here, so I would say we lost some teams here, with out a doubt, because of #2. I haven't heard any suggestions of closing #2. I would be disappointed if we closed #1 and kept #2 opened as I've been pretty loyal to this group (as have many others) for many years now. If it changes to multi sport I would drop as I only collect football. Just saying. As for product. ANY old Exquisite, NT or Five Star is FAR better than any 2012 product available now. Thats my vote.

Not sure if we shut down #2 it would help this group as I've tried to talk some folks into moving over to this group if their team was open here and they passed. Partly I think because group 2 is structured differently. It's more of a high end break in cost than in product. In that one we are breaking 12 Finest which I would never even suggest here. I for one would like to see this group continue but will certainly want to continue to hear more feedback. I think we are in agreement that there just isn't a 2012 product out there that fits the bill here so I will take that off the list and will see what we can come up with instead. As for the multi-sport break, we'll see but don't forget Bob you can have all 3 of your teams be FB teams if you wish. That's the beauty of it. Still, I worry that bringing that back will just stretch the same folks even thinner. Still need to think that one through.
