I know Hockey is a tough sell on TCC as there are only a few hardy souls that collect the sport, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Last month we used this same format for a Baseball Vintage break and it worked pretty well for a fair random assortment between participants. Basically you are randomly assigned a slot from #1-10 (assuming we have 10 slots to sell) and we do the same for round 2 (another 10 slots randomized), etc. until we have enough rounds randomized to cover the number of possible cards that we'll pull from all these packs. This is a great way to have a shot at some great conditioned cards from a variety of years including some incredible rookies at a fraction of the cost. As with any group break, you may come out ahead or you may not but at least with this format everyone should get roughly the same amount of cards and the same shot at all the big $$ cards as it's not team assignments but slot assignments. If you need clarification just check out the Vintage BB Pack Busters thread and how we ran the break.

I'm hoping we can fill 10 slots and I'll start off by taking 3 right away so we're 30% of the way there! The proposed cost on this one which includes shipping/toploaders, etc is $68 for the first slot and $65 each additional. The packs would all be purchased from BBCExchange which is the best in the business for selling good clean packs. Here is my proposed product list;

1972-73 Topps Wax
1975-76 Topps Wax
1976-77 OPC Wax
1977-78 OPC Wax
1979-80 OPC Wax
1979-80 Topps Wax
1981-82 OPC Wax
1982-83 OPC Wax
1983-84 OPC Wax
1984-85 OPC Wax
1986-87 OPC Wax

That's 11 packs including some great possibilities including rookie cards of Gretzky, Yzerman, Roy , Trottier, Savard, Kurri, Coffee, Moog, Murphy, Stastny, Fuhr, Francis, Mullen, Gilmour, Neely, Chelios, Clark, etc., etc..

So who's in for some great chances at some old time hockey greats??

Cost: $68 first slot ($65 each additional)
Product: 11 packs listed above

Available Slots:

1. Crpalmi ----------- PAID
2. Crpalmi ----------- PAID
3. Yzerisdaman ------ PAID
4. TTyler516 -------- PAID
5. Want2bet --------- PAID
6. Want2bet --------- PAID
