Welcome to Batman1641's monthly football break.
Have you ever want to join a box break club and your favorite team is never available? Been there, done that. Well this is your chance to join and pick your team favorite. A couple of friends and I decided to start are own box break club because of the limited good teams available.Now lets take a look at the club rules:
(These rules may seem similar to another clubs rules, its just what my friends and I agreed upon)
All money collected will go to the break. I will pay for the shipping of all cards.
1. $20 a team, $20 for any additional team.
2. Club members will give input on what boxes to purchase.
3. Videos will be made of each box break and will be broadcast LIVE on UStream.
4. Team owners have first choice to either hold on to their team or choose an unclaimed team for the following month.
5. If a member does not reclaim their team(s) and does not participate in the break the following month, then their team(s) will be forfeited that month.
Our objective is to make all our club members happy. We want to make sure we send everyone a hit or two. Hits are classified as Game Used, Autographs, Printing Plates, serial numbered cards, refractors of all sorts, and redemptions. So, box preference is crucial. I will try to mix it up with at least 1 high end box, several middle to low end boxes, and 1 rookies box.
Rules for cards from unclaimed teams:
1. Hits from these teams will be randomly distributed to members by pulling names out of a hat and will be done live on the forum.
2. Claiming more than one team does increase your odds of winning.
3. Once you have been awarded an unclaimed hit, your name will be removed from the drawing (unless you have claimed more than 1 team).
4. If there are more unclaimed hits than members/claimed teams, then there will be a second round of drawings.
More deciding rules:
1. Cards with multiple teams represented will be decided by random.org between the owners of the teams on the card.
2. Cards with a player that is wearing a different jersey than what card says goes to team depicted on JERSEY, not by card.
There you go. Thats bout it. If there are any changes or additions in the rules, they will be posted here on the thread. I will always take suggestions.
Also There will be monthly giveaways. During the break on Ustream and sometime throughout the month.

BEARS!
Gotcha you down fourkkids. Thanks for joining
I'm so happy I got the BEARS, wooohooo. Hopefully this fills!!!!!!!!
I hope so too. My friend has been doing a baseball one and he is helping me put this together.
Will this be 2008 Products?
2008 and 2007. everyone will decide but I would like to keep it between these years
i can not wait
Hmmm, I may take the Raiders too.... I'll let you know ASAP!
OK
Sign me up for the Dolphins this month too. Let's try to get all these spots filled so we can get some great boxes!
Any idea when break will take place or when money will need to be collected?
Think we could try a box of 2008 Gridiron Gear as one of our low end boxes? The base cards are real nice looking and you get 3 game used/autos per box.
I will post a link in my sig for ya.
This should be an awesome break.
LETS DO THIS!
If you can take cash or MO can I take Cowboys?
Lon
put me down for Broncos, I will have to send cash.
ok aka spider I got you down. Thanks for joining.
For BRONCOS. please dont mix it up with the browns they're not my team
For BRONCOS. please dont mix it up with the browns they're not my team
Fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.
So will we be busting SPA?
We will bust whatever anyone wants to do.
As long as everyone can agree and it fits in our budget
Right now we have SPA and Gridiron gear. Let's get some more people in here so we can get some more boxes. I will probably pick up another team right before we get boxes so we can get another box of some kind. Keep the suggestions coming.
If we can get a lot more ppl, i would like to see Bowman Sterling or Triple Threads.
I"ll get in take the Colts And Rams
could we do like the second week of every week.. thats when i get money..
We can do the 2nd week of the month.
Ok now it's time for the first giveaway. Nothing real big to start off but these 2 numbered cards are both the same number. Whoevers post nmber is the same number as these cards will win them. here's the cards.
Here is a hint. The Merling is only numbered to 50. Good luck.
Batman,
Might as well put me down for the Redskins
And I'll guess 13 on the contest.
Got you down CaptKirk. No guessing allowed. your post number is 35. And that's not the number on them. Thanks for joining Your post number will be in the upper right hand corner of your post. The more you post the more likely you are to win.
So the # on the cards could be from a previous post b4 the giveaway started?
What if it was u, batman1641? What do u do then?
Nope number hasn't come up yet. And I will not post in their spot.
35.
Ohhh my bad batman. so the more you post the better?
Neither one. But you are both getting closer.
I agree with 5toosweet, I wouldn't mind seeing some Bowman Sterling!
Let me know when time gets a little closer to money being due, and I will probably pick up a third team, just to get things rolling.
If we can't do the Sterling, maybe we could do the UD Premier as our high end box. We can get those for right around $170 a box!
Sweet lets see some sick Boxes, Hopefully Bowman chrome. Triple threads?
I'd go with almost anything. I am a little tired of 08 Gridiron Gear, but I will go with what the majority wishes.
Anybody for 08 Mayo or 08 Donruss Classics?
The Bowman Sterling was good for another group here, man they got some might fine stuff. Maybe they got all the good stuff though.
I want Mayo! And LL
Congrats to AKA Spider. You were post number 47. That is the number on both cards. You win the 2 numbered cards. Congrats again.
I also like the Donruss Classics. They have a nice balance to them and I like the way they look. For the 07 cards I was thinking of Upper Deck Trilogy Football Hobby Box. 9 packs with 9 hits for 100.
I will pick up Oakland as my 2nd team. If anyone wants them as their 1st team, let me know and I might switch.
Ok got you down.
You need my addy? thanks for the contest.. cant wait till this starts
Yea need your address. And I will just send them with the cards you get from the break.
With the couple of boxes people have asked for so far this is what we are looking at. Remember that as of right now I am looking at this with 17 teams. My brother is going to pick up another team and so will I. That puts as of right now at $340.
07 UD Trilogy $100---9 hits
08 SPA $117---3 hits
08 Classics $74---3 hits
That leaves us $49. Hopefully we can get a couple more teams picked up in the next couple of weeks and we can add to these. Let me know what you guys think.
If you don't get any more takers, I think that a box of 2008 Topps Rookie Progression is around $54. I will toss in an extra $5 to get us another box!
that list looks good to me!
I dont like that list at all.
Is there any boxes that consist of only Vikings cards?
If there is, I say we go with that.
Yeah man im loving the list, Im hopeful for a eddie royal auto patch
Abel you are hilarous. I will get you all vikings if you get me all reds or Yankees in the baseball break
ya i like that list too
i was looking at some boxes and i seen a few you mite like
2007 Donruss Elite Football Hobby Box $53.00
2007 Donruss Threads Football Hobby Box $79.95
2008 Donruss Gridiron Gear Football Hobby Box $61.95
2008 Leaf Certified Materials Football Hobby Box $71.95
2008 Donruss Classics Football Hobby Box $73.95
$340
pm me if raiders are still available
Let's just wait till this get's about 26 filled, then we can think about ordering boxes!
If we can get 3 more teams sold we can replace the classice with a box of bowman sterling. That would be 18 hits out of that box.
Hopefully this will help. I will take the Packers and the Chiefs.
Sweet One more person lets go
I will give the Raiders to mo2116 and pick up the Panthers as my 2nd team.
i like the idea of getting 18 hit from the bowman sterling!!!
As my third team I will take the New York Giants.
Don't choose the boxes until this get's closer to filling, then we can add more!
I have already chose some boxes. By choosing some boxes early we have a better chance at adding people. We have only chose 3 boxes and have a couple of weeks to go which means we can still add (I hope) another 2 or 3 boxes. Plus the boxes that are chosen with the money we have to spend so far are getting us alot of hits. I am hoping if more people join we can add 08 limited, and I would like to add another 07 product maybe Performance(3 autos for $50). And were not locked into these boxes. But I like the fact people are talking about what to bust it helps me learn more about you guys. Not just for this break but for future breaks.
I see what you guys mean!
Can we get this going...
Ok I have picked up Cleveland. My wife said she wants to buy a team and she bought the Eagles. We have 11 teams left. OK I would like to know when you guys want to do the break. Originally we had said the second week of march. So the 2 dates I have for when money is due are March 5 or March 12. This would give us a little more time to get some more teams sold. You can pay at anytime. Let me know and I will send my paypal or my address to you. Let me know when is good for everyone.
I think the 5th would be long enough for people to pay.
1 vote for the 5th
5th sounds good to me.
Sooner the better.
Looking for some SICK MOJO.
2 votes for the 5th
The 5th sounds so good to me I think that I will do the robot dance...
Thats only 3 votes for the fifth. I have yet to vote
thats the number 1 not the letter I. I am keeping track of the votes
Oops sorry, I looked at it worng!
It's ok.
Time for another celebration. This is number 500.
And this time everyone is invited to join in.
The 5th is fine with me.
#500. I would say congrats, but you and your twin are just being post trolls. You look for any post to post in just to get your count up.
Lets do it March 12th haha even though it will be march 5th
I plead the 5th!
You are only trying to get your post count up. You were at 250 about 1 hour ago!!
I know! Did you hear from the person wanting to take the Raiders yet? I see you switched the names, but I thought you were taking them.
He sent me a message and wanted them. I was only going to take them if he didn't. So I took the Browns instead.
5th sounds good..... and i will take the saints
We can combine your 500 party with my 300 party!!!
Ok so money is due on March 5th. Lets hope some more teams get picked up before then. The original post is updated with Payment info. Any questions let me know.
Why can't we get all 08 products instead of one 07 product?
Who doesn't i was just curious....
I was thinking instead of the 07 product this month would you guys rather have 08 Triple Threads or 08 Lettermen? Let me know. Or we could go with 07 Bowman sterling instead of the 07 Trilogy.
Oh okay, Hopefully not fishy is going to happen..
Im just saying because some people cannot be trusted.. I just don't if you guys are one of the many people that can't be..
Oh okay i was just making sure.
Now we can move on and have some Fun..
Lets Get this thing GOING
Hello everyone I came to a decision. I will be picking up the Buffalo Bills. Also I am going to pay the difference of price so that we can get the 07 Bowman sterling. That box also gives us 18 hits. That puts us at close to 40 hits. If anyone would like the bills or the browns seeing that we are doing the sterling let me know and you can have them. I willalso be sending out the payment info to everyone. Thanks
Mike
fourkkids Recieved Payment. Thanks
man I can not wait for the break!!!!!!!!!!
payment mailed.
Lon
Paypal Sent!
Payment will be sent on Thursday!
Payment recieved CaptKirk42. Thanks
Axe725 Thanks for payment.
It's also time for the new contest. The winner of this contest will get this
To win it's really simple. Pick 1 team that you think will get the most hits. You don't have to pick the team you have. If you think the 49ers will have the most hits you can pick them. You can't pick the same team as anyone else. In case of a tie I will place both names in a hat and pull the winner. Good luck
I will pick the Steelers
I'll pick Cowboys.
Lon
I"ll say The Raiders.
I will go with the Dolphins!
I"ll say packers
I will go with the Vikings (;
Ravens
AKASpider I have a treat for you. I just can't tell you yet. I think you will like it.
Wow. Abel do you and Ken have anything better to do than play with the Smileys?
Why is that? is the treat something special?
Browns
Alrighty then brotha. I will be sending the cash Soon.
Alright everyone. We are only a week away. Don't forget Money is due on the 5th. This is going to be a great break.

Thanks for Payment Ken.
Payment is on its way!
Sweet, a weekend break.
What day and time r u looking at breaking boxes?
I am free all of Saturday.
I am free...well anytime, just let me know.
How does everyone feel about a Saturday night break?
I am cool with that also got to see GForce's SPA case break that I am in too so back to back big time box busts.
Lon
Saturday night sounds good.
Happy Birthday Batman!!!!
Happy Birthday, Batman1641!
Happy Birthday Batman.
Happy Birthday Bats!
I guess there will be a BatCelebration in the Batcave tonight!
Thanks everyone for the B-Day wishes. It means alot.
Happy Brithday Michael. Hopefully you can pull me some Royal MOJO
I am hoping we get some major MOJO this week. With around 40 hits this break should be awesome. And I'm hoping we get a nice spread so everyone gets something sweet.
I'm cool with Saturday!
I was thinking 6PMest.
Good news and bad news. The boxes came in today. I recieved the 08 Bowman Sterling and the 08 SPA. I didn't get the 07 Bowman sterling. I look at everything and Inoticed Dave and Adms charged me for the boxes but were out of stock. I just got off the phone with them and they said they are refunding me the money. So here is the question. We have 153 dollars left over now. Do you want me to order another box of something now? And we wait until that box comes in to do the break or do you want me to put it into next months break budget? If you want to wait until next month I got myself a box of 06 sweet spot I could put in this months break if you guys want. I don't care one way or the other. Just let me know. I have to work at 3 so I will read what everyone wants to do when I get out at 1.
I say we order something new in 08 because it affects the strategy for teams selected but if the majority goes with the Sweet Spot that is ok.
Lon
I'll go with whatever the majority wants. I would prefer to order something extra and wait (I can be patient sometimes).
Do the two boxes you got, and order something different I hate Sweet Spot!!!!!!!
Id rather try to get something nice from 07 or 08.
I would rather go with an 08 product or something. but it doesn't matter.
I would like to see the $ spent on something more recent(07, 08). I also can wait until it comes in. I am in no rush.
I say order something else. Break the 2 boxes you have this week and do the other one(s) when you get it(them).
i agree order something else and do break for what we got now and the other later or we could do 3 boxes of 07 performance or 2 boxes of 08 gridiron gear and have a little left over for next month
Ok we will do the 2 boxes we have on Saturday at 6PMest. And as soon as I get the money refunded I will get us some more boxes.
Welcome yankeesjetsfan. He has picked up the jets. His money will go into next months budget.
After this month, if any new person wants to join and have the Panthers, I might give them up and pick another team. I will only give them up if they are new to the break.
Card news everyone. I got refunded today. And then I ordered a box of 07 Sp Chirography. 8 Autos for $133. I used next day delivery hoping it will be here tomorrow. The $20 leftover will be moved to next months budget. MOJO to all tomorrow.
I forgot ups doesn't deliver on Saturdays. Here is the tracking number if anyone wants it. It is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. So we can break it Monday night if everyone wants to.
1Z1E21800150242051
But once again MOJO to all.
I close on Monday, but I can watch the videos. No big deal to me.
