Ok, so it's been a while since I've done a break. I used to run a monthly football break that went quite well, and is now being run by batman1461 (sorry if I got the name wrong). Recently, I have had virtually no money to spend on cards, but I still miss opening a box here and there. So basically, this break will be for people that are in the same boat I am, or just want to try their luck with a cheap break. It will be run once a month and the price per spot will never be more than $10! This means that we will be breaking one-two boxes each month.
To start off with, I've chosen a box of 2010 Topps Finest to break, but once we have a full break the entire group will vote on what to open!
Each spot will guarantee you two teams, one chosen and one random. The Yankees will be the only mandatory random team.
Each spot in this break will be $9, with every spot after your first costing $1 less. PayPal only. This is $7 for the box plus $2 for shipping, handling, supplies, fees, etc. I will accept payments once all spots are taken.
---------------------------------------
Non sport cards will be distributed as following. I will lay out each members name(s), depending on how many spots you have, and I will shuffle all non sports cards. Minis and base will be seperate. I will then give one base per person, and repeat until all base are gone. If there are enough non sport minis to cover every spot, they will be evenly distributed. If not, the ones who got no hits will get one first. Any left over base minis will go to those without hits.
----------------------------------------
So lets get this break going 
1) bravesfan10 - Atlanta Braves/Chicago White Sox
2) bajmurray - Boston Red Sox/Oakland A's
3) 5toosweet - Texas Rangers/New York Yankees
4) 5toosweet - San Fransisco Giants/Kansas City Royals
5) NYStateOfMind1976 - Washington Nationals/Florida Marlins
6) NYStateOfMind1976 - New York Mets/San Diego Padres
7) joey244 - Detroit Tigers/Colorado Rockies
8) tyrodsports - Los Angeles Dodgers/Los Angeles Angels
9) tyrodsports - Chicago Cubs/Toronto Blue Jays
10) bravesfan09 - Baltimore Orioles/Seattle Mariners - $9
11) Icrackwax- Cincinnati Reds/Pittsburgh Pirates
12) soxarethechamps05 - Tampa Bay Rays/Arizona Diamondbacks
13) Icrackwax - Saint Louis Cardinals/Houston Astros
14) bravesfan10 - Philadelphia Phillies/Minnesota Twins
15) pavi39 - Milwaukee Brewers/Cleveland Indians

Got it! Thanks
Posted by: 5toosweet May 17 2010, 11:59 PM
I will take the Rangers and Giants.
Is it still $9 a spot if you take 2 spots?
Posted by: Bravesfan10 May 18 2010, 05:10 AM
Is it still $9 a spot if you take 2 spots?
Nope, I'll take a dollar off of each spot after the first
Posted by: Bravesfan10 May 18 2010, 07:14 PM
Anyone else today?
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 May 25 2010, 02:48 PM
Mets and White Sox please.
Out of curiousity...What are you going to do with the redemptions?? Are they going to be random? I mean we know Heyward is 1 etc but what about the unknown or are all just random?

Good question. We can either wait for the redemption player to be named or I can random it off (assuming it's unnamed) that night. It's up to yall.
Posted by: joey244 May 25 2010, 06:30 PM

Posted by: bcoleman123 Jul 2 2010, 02:26 PM
I'll take Yankees spot for $9 dlvd
Posted by: bajmurray Jul 2 2010, 03:35 PM
The Yankees are only available as a random, & this is a planned regular break, so the price is fixed.
Posted by: bcoleman123 Jul 2 2010, 05:11 PM
Oh, I missed that when I was reading that. Thanks and Sorry!
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 Jul 7 2010, 09:01 AM
So how we looking here? Lost the bubble on it
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 9 2010, 12:01 AM
Well, right now it's not looking so good. I'll keep the thread open for the time being to see if anyone else is interested, but I'm not sure if we can fill the break
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 9 2010, 12:06 AM
Well, take that back, I didn't see that Icrackwax picked up a team. We only need four more people so you never know.
Posted by: Soxarethechamps05 Jul 9 2010, 09:55 PM
I'll pick up the Rays
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 11 2010, 09:52 PM
3 left
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 11 2010, 09:53 PM
Also, would anyone like to change the box from finest to Allen and ginter?
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 Jul 12 2010, 07:05 AM
That is fine with me. I would like to change from the White Sox to the nationals though. Cool??
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 12 2010, 10:02 PM
Yup. Surprised that hasn't happened earlier, lol
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 Jul 13 2010, 07:12 AM
Me too. I figure..why not a shot in the dark..LOL
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 Jul 14 2010, 10:14 PM
come on folks this is gonna be fun!!!
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 18 2010, 05:54 PM
Ginter is at $90 right now. Would that mean a lower price?
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 18 2010, 05:57 PM
Either way, I'll take the Cardinals as well if we are doing the Ginter.
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 18 2010, 08:00 PM
Yeah, I''ll adjust the price.
Also, I'm picking up the Brewers, so we have one spot left. I'll also explain how we will distribute the nonsport cards in a sec.
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 18 2010, 08:11 PM
Wow, this looks like it's going to happen now. Great! 
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 18 2010, 08:13 PM
Sounds good, but if we get a non-sports/MLB hit, will it be randomized?
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 18 2010, 08:25 PM
Yes, hits and numbered minis will be randomized. Also, I'm going to keep the price the same. I'm ordering off of DA so we can get some free packs to add to the break and its $100 on there. Plus, the price difference between finest and AG is only 30 cents.
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 18 2010, 11:44 PM
2010 Finest? I'm seeing around $100 for A & G and $155 for Finest on DA.
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 19 2010, 12:05 AM
Wow. Either I'm really bad at math or the price has jumped a ton. Well, they did announce that Strasburg was the #6 redemption, so it is mandatory to raise the price $50...
All I know is that one box of AG, should total out to $9. Glad I didn't stick with the Finest
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 19 2010, 01:24 AM
And then they have to make it look like it is on sale by saying it is the weekend special. I will send the money shortly, thanks.
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 19 2010, 01:29 AM
MISPOST, SORRY.

Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 25 2010, 08:39 PM
Bravesfan09 has 3 days to pay or his spot will be made available.
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 25 2010, 10:50 PM
Ok, Chip said he can get the payment in by mid-week so I'm gonna go ahead and order the box in the morning. Should be here thursdayish.
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 26 2010, 10:21 AM
I just ordered the box, so if UPS delivers like they usually do, we should see a Thursday arrival. If it works with everyone we could do the break at 7:30 PM EST on Thursday.
Also, the random team drawing will be up either today or tomorrow. I'll update the teams as soon as the video is posted!

Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 27 2010, 08:56 PM
Dang, the Pirates and the Astros. Not such a great randomization for me. At least I have the majority of the NL Central now. 
Now, all you have to do is pull me a Pujols Auto!
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 28 2010, 11:56 AM
Break tomorrow @ 7:30 PM EST. Just click on the ustream link on my profile.
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 29 2010, 06:01 PM

Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 29 2010, 09:34 PM
Troy Tulowitzki Bat
Kyle Blanks Bat
Tony Hawk Auto!!
The Hawk Auto was given away via random.org and somehow I got it. Hope this helps. The video is on his ustream page if you want to see it.
Posted by: 5toosweet Jul 29 2010, 10:18 PM
Nice break!
Awesome Hawk Auto!
Posted by: Icrackwax Jul 30 2010, 02:41 AM
So...what box are you thinking about for next month? I believe the August version can be posted in the Box Break Forum under Group Box Breaks...or at least it can when August gets here. Thank again for the Hawk Auto!
Posted by: Bravesfan10 Jul 30 2010, 12:01 PM
Yes, it will be posted in Group Box Breaks section. I should have all the packages shipped (assuming I have all addresses) on Monday, and I'll open up the next break Tuesday.
Posted by: 5toosweet Aug 7 2010, 07:57 PM
Were you gonna post transactions for this break?
