And I will throw this out there and G do not hate me for saying it, but this is my opinion.

I think we need to look at possibly a new supplier and do preorders the Sunday before if we are full and if not then cancel the breaks.

When I sign up and I see we are doing a full half case or a whole and we have to reduce down the boxes because of the lack of members, I would prefer that we not do the break then because then there are boxes left like the SP Signature hit, which was the best hit of all the boxes in the break. And the hit ended up going not where it should have to an owner of the teams, but to whomever bought the box from you.

I do not and I know others do not expect you to cover the costs of the extra, so this might be the best thing for you and for everyone.

I understand Balenac likes the preorders possibly done earlier, but I have no problem if we have to pay $2-10 more per break to go through Dave & Adams or Blowout or whomever and do it the Sunday before if we are full and not having to do a partial break.

This is not a knock on you Gary at all, I appreciate the breaks and what you do, I am just throwing this out there for everyone to think about the future as it might make things easier and better.

I co-sign the above statement.

As nlr said, this is NOT - by any means - an indictment of you or your breaks. I'm a huge fan of GForce083 breaks, as denoted by my perfect attendance in them throughout the last year.

That being said, I agree with Brit's statement about perhaps finding another supplier. For me, there are 2 important facets of group breaks that are being affected here. First off, my primary team (other than the Lions, which are random) is the Dolphins - when I have to pay more for less boxes, getting a 3rd team (that no matter who it is, I likely don't collect) isn't appealing to me. Secondly, the allure of breaking a case includes being assured of the 'case hit' - breaking anything less than that doesn't give the same guarantee.

I would be willing to pay the additional costs as well if it meant going to Blowout or Dave and Adam's, as well as being willing to cancel a break if it can't get a full contingent of members. It's harder this year with so many teams that have 'double-dipped' on the collectible rookies: (San Fran - Crabtree, Davis, Coffee; Detroit - Stafford, Pettigrew; Philly - Maclin, McCoy; Jets - Sanchez, Greene) If they were more spread out, these breaks would be easier to fill - but since that can't change, something else might have to.

Again, I want to reiterate that I am still a huge fan of your breaks and hope to participate in them long into the foreseeable future.

Thanks,
Prophecy Guy

Noted. I agree with you guys. The price is really whats kept me around for Balenac so long but things like this really turn me off.
