This has been in the works for quite a while on my end. We've been breaking together since June of 2007, and we've had 70+ members over the years!

As a big "thank you!" to everyone who has made this group possible, I'd like to welcome everyone back for another break, even if you're not currently a member. And here's the best part: it's free.

Here's all you need to do! I'll be adding a list shortly that our very own flea put together. (This SHOULD be a comprehensive list of everyone who has participated in at least one of our breaks, though we may be missing a person or two. Heck, try combing through 70+ breaks. It isn't easy!) Just post a link to one break where you participated, and you're in. The only catch is that you must still be able to trade on TCC. No banned members or those prohibited from trading.

As for the team you get? Feel free to post a list with teams you'd like in order of preference. BUT, I will assign you a team. It will most likely be a team you've owned a lot in the past. We'll be breaking products from a variety of years, so things should be well spread-out.

At max, we'll have room for 31 more breakers. If any teams remain, long-time members will get priority for a second team.

Lastly, I would encourage you to reach out to old members if you have any way to contact them! Someone have a way to get a hold of monsta, the creator of our group break? Great, send him our way! Know how to get Bob_TCC on the line? A reunion would be wonderful!

I look forward to seeing some old faces return. Now let's get breaking!

Oh, and one more thing. I will gladly fund the whole break as best I can. BUT, if you're willing and able, I'll gladly take donations of sealed product to contribute to the break. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're interested, PM me and we'll chat about it.

Well done on this Sam

Patriots

Depending on how some ebay sales go, I should be able to contribute some product to the break.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 12:25 PM

Flea - You'd better believe you've got the Bears. It's still weird NOT having the Bears owned by you. Welcome aboard, and thank you again for the help!

Rhody - You've had the Patriots about as long as I can remember. I can think of no one better to have them. And thank you for the offer of assistance! I'll cross my fingers for your eBay sales.

Posted by: flea Jul 19 2013, 12:26 PM

What made the list a bit of a chore is the fact that this group break actually PRECEDES the formation of the Group Break forum. I believe it was if not the first definitely one of the first group breaks on TCC.

Have tweeted Blitz & sent Monsta(Jeremy) a message on FB. It's his baby & he really needs to be in this break with the Titans

Posted by: flea Jul 19 2013, 12:32 PM

Also PM sent Sam

Posted by: straightbutta14 Jul 19 2013, 12:39 PM

thought I participated in one of your breaks!

Have fun and thanks! Get them old members back to TCC!

Sounds good to me! I'd love a shot at the Packers if possible......

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 19 2013, 01:43 PM

I'm in!

Posted by: mattdile3 Jul 19 2013, 01:44 PM

Thanks for this Sam! I'm one of the newer guys to the break, but if my Jets are available that would be great! And if I have extra paypal left after my fantasy football entry fees, I'll definitely provide some product or paypal for added product....

If you got someone else in mind for the Jets, the Colts for Donnie Brown, or the Broncos for Knowshon would work as well! Matt

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 01:51 PM

Welp, it could well be that you did! It's tough to sort through all of those breaks. Just provide a link to one of our monthly hobby breaks, and you're in.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 01:53 PM

Welcome aboard! The Packers are likely going to a specific member (I believe he's actually owned them for EVERY break), so if at all possible, I'd recommend another team or two as a preference.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 01:54 PM

I know it's a formality, but rules are rules. Can you post a link to a break you've been in?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 01:54 PM

Post a link to a break you've been in, and you're in.

Awesome gesture, Sam!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 02:13 PM

Welcome aboard, sir. Any requests on teams?

Posted by: straightbutta14 Jul 19 2013, 03:02 PM

Looks like it never happened and we had one deal back in 2007.

Well, if there are any spots for old school TCC members, please consider me. I'll take what's left!

Posted by: pavi39 Jul 19 2013, 03:15 PM

http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=314977&hl=

I'm in. Unless Packers are open (which I'm sure they're not) I'd be in for Giants again.

Posted by: Boston5761 Jul 19 2013, 03:16 PM

Man, a free break, I'll take whatever I can get.

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Jul 19 2013, 03:24 PM

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 19 2013, 09:25 PM

Okay, so Indy gets the Bengals, Schickfaced gets the Broncos, pavi39 gets the Giants, Boston5761 gets the Bucs and mattdile3 gets the Jets.

Posted by: captkirk42 Jul 19 2013, 10:43 PM

Thanks guys count me in.

I think this was one of the months I was around. Been ages so I'm not sure if it is the same "Official group" or not. it was from 2009 I think that was the last time I was in the Official break. Of course it could also have been my last month was in 2010 at some point EEK! http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=226349

Anyway my teams are 3 of the 4 "R" teams in this order:
Redskins
Rams
Ravens

I suppose I could go for anyone but the Cowboys, but even if assigned them I know a Cowboy fan or two I could probably ship those boys off to and hopefully get some injuns in return.

Posted by: mjda Jul 20 2013, 12:08 AM

Great idea, and very cool of you, Sam!

http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=314977

You know I want my Boys (if possible, of course).

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 12:04 PM

Glad to have you aboard, Cap'n! You've got the Rams.

mjda, the Cowboys are all yours.

Posted by: bajmurray Jul 20 2013, 12:21 PM

In with whomever you would assign. Thesobons should have the Pack by default. Thanks for the heads up.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 12:30 PM

Agreed, I've been hanging onto the Packers, waiting for him to post.

By the way, I know it's a formality, but can you post a link to a break you were in, please?

Posted by: DCool Jul 20 2013, 12:51 PM

What a great gesture!

Count me in, and if still available, I'd love to have the niners

Posted by: cbluem Jul 20 2013, 12:57 PM

I'm in. Haven't done one in a while but would love to have my Saints

Just remember to post a link to a break you've been involved with. That's your ticket.

Posted by: booth9919 Jul 20 2013, 01:15 PM

I would be down first choice would be the vikes if not them anything would as its a free break!!!

Wow its been awhile but im in! I wouldn't mind donating either. Its nice to see everyone again

Would like the 49ers or Saints.

Posted by: faulkrules Jul 20 2013, 01:36 PM

Packers would be nice - thanks for the update!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 02:32 PM

Okay folks. Here's where we stand.

Bajmurray, I'm setting you up with the Bills. I figure that we have a decent amount of HOFers there that still sign, so maybe we'll get lucky. cbluem, ask, and you shall receive. The Saints are yours. Peja, you've got the 49ers.

faulkrules, you're in, but the Packers are earmarked elsewhere. Did you have any other preferences?

Mr. 264, DCool and booth9919, please post a link to a break you've participated in, and you're in!

Very good to see you all, by the way! It's been quite a long time in some cases.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 02:33 PM

Thanks for the offer to help! PM me when you have a moment and let me know what you'd like to do.

Posted by: fieldlevelview Jul 20 2013, 02:55 PM

I was in last month, and would love the Texans.

Posted by: Cool_Hand_Flash Jul 20 2013, 02:58 PM

Colts?

Posted by: Cool_Hand_Flash Jul 20 2013, 03:01 PM

Oh.. link to a break I was in?

http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=314977

And a ton more lol

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 04:49 PM

booth9919, I have the Vikings earmarked for another breaker, but I ran things through Random.org. The Ravens are all yours. CHF, of course, the Colts are yours.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 20 2013, 04:50 PM

Again, make sure to post a link to a break you participated in! That's all you need to join us.

Posted by: cbluem Jul 20 2013, 05:07 PM

It's been a long time for me to have anything new. This is a great gesture. Nice to see some of my brethren from the original first breakers are still in it. Would love to somehow see the man who started it all. Monsta

thesobons - Just the man I was looking for! The Packers are your, as they always have been.

Sorry, in my last post I didn't realize I had to post an old break I was part of. Since I missed out on the niners, I'll take the Seahawks if available.

Posted by: Avaholicforever Jul 21 2013, 10:55 AM

Are the Chargers available? If not the Eagles?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 21 2013, 11:32 AM

thesobons - Any help would be greatly appreciated as always, sir. Thanks for considering it!

DCool, you've got the Seachickens. Avaholic, the Chargers are all yours.

faulkrules, random.org has spoken, and you're in with the Raiders!

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Jul 21 2013, 07:57 PM

Went back into the archives to find the, I believe, the first TCC Original FB Hobby Box Group Break, with you as host......

Looking at the list remaining, I would be happy with the Dolphins.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 21 2013, 09:16 PM

Ask and you shall receive. Glad to have you aboard, Mr. 264. Wouldn't be the same without you.

Posted by: echunks Jul 22 2013, 12:58 PM

You wouldn't be holding those Vikings for me possibly??

I am in for this break and should be able to contribute as well. Just PM me the details of what you need/prefer.

how about them Falcons?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 22 2013, 11:43 PM

Sorry, sir. Glad to have you aboard as a new member to TCC, but having not participated in our monthly group break before, you wouldn't be eligible for this one. You're always welcome to join the waiting list for our $25 monthly break, though!

Posted by: ayerhead18 Jul 23 2013, 12:09 AM

just read through and realized that. please add me to the waiting list

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 23 2013, 11:26 AM

Still waiting on fieldlevelview and Blitz_46 to post a link to a break they were in, but once they've got that, we'll be down to 9 slots. Who's going to step in and claim them?

Will we get a return of monsta? Bob_TCC? I'd also love to see dhoffius, eliptic, picipat, snkpoct137 (Snake Pocket!) and some more of our long-time breakers.

Posted by: Takeobeavis Jul 23 2013, 03:29 PM

I am in. Not sure I understand the format yet, but I would like the browns or panthers. I will be at The Nationals next week and I will look for some product.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 23 2013, 04:14 PM

The basic idea is the same as our group break, except without the draft teams. And I'm hosting, free of charge. No payments or anything required, but any products people would like to throw in will help (and I appreciate your offer, by the way!)

Just one thing, though! The only qualification is that you have to post a link to a break that you've participated in. Just a formality on your end, but still.

Posted by: thesobons Jul 23 2013, 05:29 PM

Sam - you got Paypal, buy a box from me.

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Jul 23 2013, 06:04 PM

I didn't even see that your quote had a link in it at first! Welcome aboard. random.org has decreed that the Panthers will be yours.

Well...if I'm not mistaken, i believe, i was in a group break once or twice.

How's everyone doing?

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 26 2013, 05:44 PM

Honored to have you back, monsta. How's everything been??

Just post a link to one of your breaks (or the original, if you'd like!) and you're in. I'm assuming Titans?

Are you still collecting!

Posted by: monsta Jul 27 2013, 05:32 AM

Sams the man.

I've not really collected much. I've added some signed pucks and what not but nothing major.

How's your Aaron Rodgers collection?

Posted by: captkirk42 Jul 27 2013, 11:01 AM

Wow talk about a blast from the Past, or is it a Ghost in the Machine?

Posted by: harpyking32 Jul 28 2013, 01:10 PM

Is there room for this guy

Posted by: cbluem Jul 28 2013, 04:27 PM

It's been a long time since I've collected anything and was surprised to get a message from the site and was truly happy to see this thing still going strong.

Monsta, I was hoping to see you pop up on the break. I remember when you first started this crazy idea and now there's a whole classification for group breaks because of it. lol

Posted by: monsta Jul 31 2013, 09:53 AM

Oh it's most definitely a blast from the past.


I know, right? It's so awesome that this thing is still going on. I love it!! Great to hear from you again. It's been a hot minute.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Jul 31 2013, 11:57 AM

There certainly is! Just post a link to a break you've been in, and you're welcome to join.

And the Lions you shall have, sir. Good to have you aboard, SuPa! I was wondering when you'd post.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 2 2013, 12:34 PM

Officially, only 7 spots left. Let's fill it up!

Posted by: Pejarox7620 Aug 5 2013, 06:59 PM

Man seeing all these names are bringing back so many memories

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 6 2013, 09:41 PM

7 spots left, and the majority of our boxes are on the way. We're currently on track for 9, but I think I'll try to make it an even 10. Plus, we have a few more people that may be contributing, so that number may grow even more.

As for the break date, here's the scoop. I'm going to make 8/16 the final date to join. If we still have spots after that, contributors will be first in line for an extra spot.

If you've been considering joining us, this is your last shot! There are still some faces I'd love to see joining us again.

ALSO, if you haven't been a recent member of the break (within the past 3-4 months), I'd appreciate a PM from you with your address to prep.

Posted by: straightbutta14 Aug 6 2013, 10:48 PM

I can contribute a little if it means I can play.. Let me know!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 6 2013, 10:53 PM

I appreciate the thought, but it would just be sticking with prior group break members for now. If you'd like to join our waiting list to get involved in future things like this though, I'd welcome it!

I'll take the Steelers if available since my arch nemesis shickfaced is going after my montee balls.....lol jk

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 7 2013, 12:50 PM

The Steelers are the last team that are ear-marked for another person. Any of the other teams would be open, though. Shall I randomize one for you?

Posted by: harpyking32 Aug 8 2013, 04:37 PM

Jaguars or eagles in that order who ever is left

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 8 2013, 04:50 PM

Jags it will be, sir. Thank you for joining!

Not much longer past members! Get on board.

One of the two people I was saving the Steelers for! They're all yours.

Thanks Sam

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 12 2013, 03:42 PM

Only 5 spots left! Boxes are coming in VERY soon, and I expect to break VERY shortly after the 8/16 deadline. Maybe even that evening!

Double-check the first post to make sure you're in, by the way! I believe I have at least one member who still needs to post a link to get involved.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 15 2013, 11:31 AM

Tick tock! Time is running out on this one. If you want to get involved, you have about a day to let me know!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 16 2013, 09:17 AM

Today is the LAST day to sign up! We're also running out of time for contributions! If you'd still like to lend a hand by adding a box, or some PayPal so I can get one for you, please do so ASAP! We had a minor delay on one box that had been ordered, so you still have a few days for that. I anticipate breaking early next week.

Posted by: faulkrules Aug 19 2013, 12:49 AM

Cool...can't wait! PM sent with new address in case I get lucky

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 19 2013, 08:25 PM

So, with the deadline come and gone at this point, we've got a few teams left to deal out. Random.org has spoken, and the last teams go out to contributors as follows:

Kansas City Chiefs - WestCoastSkinsFan
Atlanta Falcons - Rhody_Red_Pats
Arizona Cardinals - road_runner_1964
Cleveland Browns - Schickfaced
Philadelphia Eagles - echunks

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 19 2013, 09:04 PM

All boxes are either in-hand, or on the way! If you're still interested in contributing, let me know ASAP. I can still likely go to the LCS with PayPal in hand, or folks can always ship a box out if you're quick.

I'm thinking either a break late this week, or early next (more likely) depending on when things arrive.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 26 2013, 11:48 AM

Please remember to PM me your address if you're NOT currently in our monthly break! I'll likely need it shortly.

As for the break itself, it's likely coming soon! I'm hoping to break tomorrow night on 8/27.

Posted by: mjda Aug 26 2013, 02:31 PM

Works for me!

Posted by: Cool_Hand_Flash Aug 27 2013, 05:42 AM

Sounds great Sam

Posted by: road_runner_1964 Aug 27 2013, 06:46 AM

Excellent work putting this together Sam!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 01:03 PM

We may have a slight stumbling block with some shipping delays, but I might also have a solution: break week.

Instead of doing 10 boxes in one break, why not do 3-4 days of 2-3 boxes per day? That way, if you miss one, you'll still have a shot to catch some of the other breaking? Plus the videos (and the time away from my wife!) will be a bit more manageable.

Unless there is any strong opposition, I think I'd like to go with this, starting tonight. Then, aiming for breaks on Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th, with an additional morning break on Saturday if needed.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 01:07 PM

By the way, that would make the first break TONIGHT at 6 PM Pacific.

Posted by: mjda Aug 27 2013, 02:20 PM

Sounds great to me! Although I may not be able to make a Friday night (high school football game), I should make the others. Not sure about Saturday. I usually check my game cameras on Saturday mornings, but that's not a priority.

Posted by: Cool_Hand_Flash Aug 27 2013, 03:05 PM

Fine by me Sam.. its your show, 100% your choice imo.

I'll show up when ever you break

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Aug 27 2013, 07:36 PM

I want a break!

.......You just had a break last month.

I want more!

........But you'll just get fat.

What's fat?

.........Fat is what you get when you break too many boxes.

Fat sounds awesome! Let's get fat!!!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 08:08 PM

Running a little late! Give me just a few minutes to set up and we'll be up and running.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 09:02 PM

I likely won't post pictures until it's all done, BUT, we have a video coming, and I'll do a text recap too.

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 09:24 PM

Just a teaser though: it's a pretty good day to be a Cowboys or Bears fan!

Posted by: mjda Aug 27 2013, 09:31 PM

I'll second that!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 27 2013, 10:04 PM

The break... part one! Boxes on the agenda: 2002 Honors, 2008 Leaf Certified Materials and 2011 Plates and Patches.

So my camera wasn't playing nice. It didn't record the break... or the first 3 attempts at recaps! I did finally get a recap, though:

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 29 2013, 09:38 PM

The finale, a 4 box break, will be tomorrow at 6:30 PM if all goes well!

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Aug 30 2013, 11:07 AM

Tonight at 6:30 PM Pacific looks like a go! Let's finish things off with a final 4 boxes!

The redemptions are Brandon Harris of the Texans, Daniel Thomas of the Dolphins, Tony Dorsett of the Cowboys (#/5!), Aqib Talib of the Bucs and Martellus Bennet of the Cowboys. The Panini redemptions are likely to go through... the Upper Deck ones not so much.

Wow lots of nice stuff, but the Skins seem to have been shut out. Probably a couple of other teams as well. Some cool HOFers there.

Posted by: mattdile3 Sep 3 2013, 10:18 AM

Thanks for the break Sam! Just hold onto whatever Jets I got until this monthly break's cards get shipped out to save on shipping....

You da man

Posted by: WestCoastSkinsFan Sep 3 2013, 11:17 AM

Eh, yeah, the 'Skins got zonked on that one. But a few of the years we broke were slim pickins for draft classes, so I'm not TOO surprised.

And yeah, I was hoping for a little more spread on the teams, but hey, it happens. I'm just happy to have seen hits for guys like monsta and flea, so that made up for it for me quite a bit.

Posted by: Pejarox7620 Sep 10 2013, 06:27 AM

Hey Sam thanks for the break, all you gotta ship to me is the Hunter auto patch nothing else. PM ME if you need any info.
