Choice A. And yes, lets keep it to 5, we need to get the break done, so the longer we argue about what to break, the longer it will be until we bust the products.

B For Me

[Sportscard Collector]

I think these are five nice choices to choose from, so I agree we don't need anymore (maybe a good tweak if anybody has one).

I don't really know any of the products in-depth, so I can't comment much on what they tend to yield or how well they re-sell if you wanted to do that. If I did my math right, the options and the number of hits looks like this:

A: 14
B: 11
C: 18
D: 10
E: 11

What worries me about option B is that there are only 46 cards total. That says that on average we would each end up receiving 4 or 5 cards with one of those being a hit. But knowing the way these things tend to work, somebody would probably end up with 2 or 3 base cards for their $25.

So, since I have no idea how lucky we'll get or what types of hits they will be, I'm going to go with option C and hope that everyone gets something.

[straightbutta14]

I go B... my choice is simply on the fact there is more of a chance for me to get a King...

[pavi39]

Although I realize that choice b has fewer cards, I was looking to try and pick things up from where the last club let off and some things that haven't been broken before. I have very little access to basketball cards in my area since most of the shops don't carry them.

I think the idea is for this club to carry on from month to month, meaning if something doesn't get broken in this month we can certainly try it another month. Trust me - there were quite a few months I had no hits and very little base cards having the Bucks in the last club. I'm certainly not looking for bang for my buck (although it would be nice), but rather to increase my collection of Bucks without having to buy whole boxes myself.

All that being said - I would have to vote for option B myself.

option D seems a good choice

[ballplayer613]

Since it seems like choice wont get voted, I'll swing my vote to Option B to get this thing going. The faster we get to a majority vote, the faster we can bust.

[mwood7]

After thinking about it I will go with choice B also.
