Frankly, if you like this SORT of variety, with your blessing, I could also just go nuts on a Blowout weekend and see what's well-priced along the same lines. Would that work too?

One interesting way to do this would be if individual members could post like... a top 3 box selection from 2005 to present, so we can get an idea of what people want, and then try to fill as many want lists as possible?

Oh, and SuPa, could you check and see if he does any sort of online break sponsorship like Blowout does? The extra percentage kick-in would help a ton.

I don't want us to stray away from 09 products. I don't mind a few older boxes, but that is too many. If we are going to do that many older boxes, I would rather stick with the regular 25 break personally. We actually be doing less 09 stuff in the big break than the regular one. Maybe 1 06 box, 1 07 box, and 1 08 box. This is supposed to be a break to get newer products not spend more to get older boxes.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

Blue - Nothing here is definite yet. If you'd like, work up an alternate list that you'd like to do. I just did this off the top of my head this morning.

The box selection doesn't matter too much to me as long as we aren't doing all "rookie oriented" products. We should have a good mix of products with some nice legend/star hits too, such as Classics and Limited.

I second that. I would prefer a good mix of legends and rookies and considering that it would be double up on the cash to spend we could go half 09 and half mix of previous years.

I am in for the Big Break.

[cbluem]

Here you go.

-2009 SP Authentic (1 patch/auto, 2 autos) $104
-2009 Playoff Contenders (4 autos) $111
-2009 Topps Unique (1 auto, 2 GUs) $111
2009 Classics(3 MEMORABILIA OR AUTOGRAPH CARDS (WITH AT LEAST ONE AUTOGRAPH) $75
2009 Classics(3 MEMORABILIA OR AUTOGRAPH CARDS (WITH AT LEAST ONE AUTOGRAPH) $75
-2008 Donruss Classics (1 auto, 2 GU) $87
2007 Playoff Contenders (4 autos) $79
2007 Limited(3 autograph or memorabilia cards(at least 1 autograph)$80

This puts the total to 722. We would then have 50-60 to let Sam pick some boxes on special. We could also cut one of the 09 Classics out to have 125-135 for Sam to pick some boxes on special.

This group allows for mainly 09(even one we haven't tried yet), some 08 and 07 boxes, plus some Classics and Limited to allow some legends to be pulled(Cut auto anyone?).

I also think it would be cool to try and do this over two breaks to spread it out a little. It sucked not breaking anything for January, but having two breaks within three days was cool. Just an idea to make it easier on the breaker.

Sam if you are breaking, send me your addy so I can send you a package with some random GUed and autos to open for the break. Maybe a little pre-bust warm up.

I'm down for this. Can I claim the Cards?

[thesobons]

I'm in for the Double Break!

I like heavy on 09, with a couple older....2005??? Rodgers!

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

Blue - My only issue with this one is that 09 Classics is pretty bad compared to 08. I like where you're going on it, though! Let me work on something similar.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

messingaroundok - We don't currently have an open spot. I can put you on the waiting list though, if you'd like!

[dhoffius]

I would prefer mostly 09 products

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

Here's another option, going at least 50% on 09:

-2009 Playoff Contenders (4 autos) $111
-2009 Topps Unique (1 auto, 2 GUs) $111

-2006 Leaf Limited (1 auto or GU) $39
-2005 Leaf Certified Materials (4 auto or GU) $45

Total: $799

I tried for a mix of current products, and then older products that focus on vets/Legends.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

And alternately...

-2009 SP Authentic (1 patch/auto, 2 autos) $104
-2009 Playoff Contenders (4 autos) $111
-2009 Topps Unique (1 auto, 2 GUs) $111
-2009 UD SPX (4 autos, 6 GU) $147

Total $473, with approximately $325 to spend on vet/legend-based products come a weekend special.


I think we've got 4 options up at this point. If you have a suggestion, let's hear it within the next day or two so we can get to voting!

With the addition leftover money, I'd be buying legend/vet heavy products from varying years that is well-priced on a weekend special.

[mjda]

I would prefer option 2.

[Pejarox7620]

i like the looks of option 2!

[Takeobeavis]

I like 2009 donurss threads, I think they have great value in the boxes.

[Cool_Hand_Flash]

Option two looks tempting
