Collector Zone _ Group Box Breaks _ Boxbreakers September Hobby #1 Group Break

Posted by: crpalmi Sep 9 2012, 08:49 AM

Welcome back to the Hobby Group Break as we continue our 6th year together! I have the proposed product list below. Let me know as soon as possible if you are dropping or changing teams so I can keep the list accurate. Note also that if you are interested in joining but your team shows as claimed just let me know as we may have an opening in our "Hobby 2" group for you!

Just a note about the draft slots, I budgeted for one less slot than we need so after the list is randomized and we run through the draft, the person with the last slot in the draft will be awarded the last remaining TWO teams. This will hopefully eliminate the downside of getting stuck with the worst team in the draft. These picks are offered on a first come first serve basis to members of the group. You can buy one draft slot per owned team but if you would like more just let me know and I'll add you to the list if slots are available at the end. If we fail to sell all the slots needed to participants of the group I will have to offer them to folks outside of the break, but this is as a last resort only.

Cost: $50 ($47 for each additional) Extra Draft Slot: $22
Payment Due Date: Sep 20th
Break Date: Sunday at 4pm(ct)

Please remember Paypal will no longer be accepted. Please send Money Order or cashiers check to;

I know I'm new to the group but with I was thinking that with the struggle to fill teams in both sets (hobby/high end 1 and 2) of group breaks it may be time to consider dropping back down to one set. As a possible way to include more people we could do more frequent case breaks or have a random group break that fired off once all of the slots filled. Just throwing out ideas.

I hear you, I definitely do. However the new #2 breaks have only been around for 4 months so I'd like to give them a shot to increase numbers. I have been trying to work on ways to increase our numbers but just haven't had a chance yet. Hang in there a bit longer and let's see if we can't get back up into the high 20's for team ownership!

Payment made for Rams and draft spot. Arrival in 5 business days.

Chris, love the line up, but will we be doing Momentum next month?

Posted by: MWS Sep 15 2012, 08:00 AM

Momentum is terrible.

You and others might think that, but $200/10 hits beats $50/1hit any day in my book, like supreme. Even compare it to finest. $100/2 hits, and the cards can end up being the same value. Imo its far from terrible..

Plus I thought this was a hobby group, where we could get a taste of stuff you might not normally get to sample smile.gif not screaming for it, Id just like to try all the products, every year, even if its just a one time pop or if the product is "terrible" smile.gif

Hi Chris,

I hate to make a late change but can you please change me from the Jags to the Falcons.

He was bad but not the reason for the change, I am just still looking for a decent Julio rookie. Besides, maybe we can find a Jags fan for the slot. tongue.gif

Hi Chris. I will jump back in with jags and a draft spot if any left

Posted by: Takeobeavis Sep 17 2012, 12:30 PM

In for both breaks.

Glad to have you back. If we stay as is you would have the final draft slot available. If we fill another team however your slot would be bumped so I'll keep you posted. For now you're in!

Now that I see more of this stuff out there I've changed my mind its not that bad and 10 hits a box is worth $200.

Posted by: crpalmi Sep 21 2012, 04:01 PM

We will be including Momentum in the Hobby break as that's what it's all about. I just didn't want to include it in case it delayed again plus many of the Panini products have been dropping in price shortly after release so I didn't want to pay $200 when we might get it for $150 next month.

Sorry about the fast pace on this one! A few nice ones but overall we've obviously done better. I agree with Mark that the Gold Standard box was excellent but other than that just so so.

Thanks once again for participating!
