Vito has had to drop out so the Eagles are now available. HOWEVER, since we are only a week away and are exactly at our budget they can only be picked up as a new team rather than a team switch. This is open to a current member adding them as a new team or a new addition to the group but no team switches for them. If nobody claims them after 3-4 days I will go ahead and take them as an extra team myself to keep us at our budget.

    LET'S GET PUMPED UP!!!   

[crpalmi]

Hey guys...starting to get a bit worried about this one! Release is 3 days away and I don't have enough money to pay the balance on these as I'm still almost $1700 short! Let's get those payments in and in the meantime if anyone likes some of the unpaid teams please let me know JUST IN CASE we don't get the payment. I will not be able to confirm them just yet but want to be ready in the next 2 days. We also have 3 draft slots left in each group which are available to anyone in the group regardless if you already have purchased one. This product looks great...let's make sure we can get it at release!

I would take 2 of the draft picks in each break if that is ok. Just lmk and I can send payment. Thanks

Confirmed. BobKoning also takes a draft slot in each group so the draft picks are now sold out.

The Packers, Bears, Chiefs, Giants, and Eagles are all POSSIBLY available and we need to fill them all to make this work. I'll take one but can't afford any more.

Redman officially drops out so the Chiefs are open for the taking in both groups.

I will take the Chiefs in both groups to help out....

I will take the Chiefs in both groups to help out....

Thanks Bob!

Remember folks that if you claim any of these available teams you also get the right to hold them in the next break which is 2010 National Treasures. Think of all the possibilities with the Bears, Packers, Eagles, Giants, Titans, Saints, Raiders, etc..

[BOBKONING]

Thanks Bob!

Payment on the way for the Chiefs & 2 draft picks...

Never mind previous post as the Giants remain available. Have tentative holds on packers, Bears, and Raiders but until I get confirmation and payment those teams remain available for inquiries.

If you haven't noticed by now I have no choice but to push this break back. It goes against everything this break is supposed to be in breaking new products but with the late drops and the slow payments coming in I was not able to get full payment in on these cases. I will update as soon as we have an expected break date but it will unfortunately not be this weekend.

Bears are released and available to anyone who wishes to join us.

Unfortunately I am taking a bath on this one. With the late payments and drops I lost out on locking in earlier and am paying much higher prices. I blame nobody but myself on this one as I should have either cancelled the break or lowered the product list back on the payment deadline date. Either way to cover the budget we now need to fill 24 teams and because this was my mistake I will claim the extra slots needed to fill. Still waiting on possible additions to the group and remember by claiming a team for even just one of the two case groups you get first dibs in the next product which is National Treasures. Unfortunately we have some time on this one as I just learned I will be out of town Sunday-Thursday. The cases were ordered today so they won't arrive until next Tuesday so I'm going to schedule this break for next Friday. I'll give it through the weekend for new additions and then start the draft Monday. I apologize this has been a messy break but I take full responsibility for not keeping a tighter reign on it. I hope that we finally get to break it will be worth the extra weeks wait!

I am starting a bank draft of $100 Chris it is to help defray the costs (it will take a couple days and will be early next week my bank says when it comes out), you will not argue you will not refuse it you will not give me a team for it, you will accept it or I will quit all your breaks.

Can't see agreeing to this. I appreciate the sentiment but you have to realize I can't accept. If I receive it I will have no choice but to put it towards a team (which I'll be doing anyway myself) so you'll just receive a few (hopefully some really good ones!) extra cards with your shipment. Again, I love that you're willing to step up and do something like this but can't just accept a charity payment.

What I will accept is some help in filling these last few slots if you have friends in the industry that may have interest. After seeing some nice results from some of the early cases I'm hopefull I won't have to pick up 4 extra slots and they'll go to people that may actually want them!

Raiders are released in this one as well so they remain available.

[crpalmi]

Ok guys, we're ready to move on to the next phase and conduct the draft. The draft order was set by Random.org and can begin immediately. I should note that drafted teams are not able to be retained from one break to the next (in other words if you draft the Giants that does not give you rights to automatically get first dibs on them in the next product broken).
