Im in for the Broncos but I am not sure if I can take the Buccaneers for this month. Is there anyone that would like to take the Buccaneers on loan for the 2011 Absolute Break? I am not sure if I can take them. I will know in a week if I can take the Buccaneers. I just wanted to put it out there if someone would like to take the Buccaneers for a month.
Thanks
Brandon

Yeah the Hawks got lucky today with that lucky INT. We should have just ran the ball in. But too many injuries this season is killing us. It was a good game though.

Hey Joe, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but I think blowout release dates are one week after the hobby release date. I don't understand it, but this is what their website says on the Absolute release:

Please Note: This product is part of the Panini MAPP Program. Blowout Cards is a Panini Authorized Internet Retailer (AIR). Within the program, Panini has implemented two separate Release Dates. The Hobby Release Date is Oct 19, 2011. The AIR Release Date is Oct 26, 2011 which is when all Panini Authorized Internet Retail orders for this product through Blowout Cards will ship.

Yes, it has to do with new procedures Panini announced at this year's Nationals. Basically, there are only a handful of online sites that are "official" resellers of Panini products...Blowout is included in this group. These are the sites that can deal directly with Panini and re-sell the products. In addition, hobby shops get a one-week headstart on any Panini product when it is first released, so the online resellers will always be a week behind. Since Chris orders most (if not all) of the group's cases online, our release date will always be a week behind the hobby release if it is from Panini.

Have I ever mentioned I can't stand Panini?

Posted by: BOBKONING Oct 12 2011, 05:58 PM

Panini #####. They wont even reply to my requests for an update on my redemptions that are now 7 months old....

Ahh bummer. Thanks for the clarification Joe. I was hoping I'd get to see you guys break some Absolute next week.

Posted by: faulkrules Oct 13 2011, 06:39 AM

Payment OTW!!!

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 13 2011, 10:44 AM

Yep, I just saw that push back as well. The ship date one week after the Hobby release date was the same issue we had with Timeless Treasures as I thought we were getting it a week earlier only to find out that wasn't the case. Looks like the 26th it is (hopefully). Let's get payments in!


Posted by: Cardman123 Oct 13 2011, 11:15 AM

Along those same lines....Panini Gold has already been pushed back to November 23 as well.

Posted by: Hail24 Oct 13 2011, 06:20 PM

Payment is on its way thanks.

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 18 2011, 03:37 PM

Release still shows next week so let's get the rest of the payments in!

Any takers for the Steelers, Bears, Ravens, etc....?

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 25 2011, 03:16 PM

Should go live tomorrow. Case has been purchased but still looking for some payments so please get them in or let me know if there's any issues. Hoping to run the draft Wednesday or Thursday and break on Friday or Saturday if it arrives by then.

Posted by: GoGiants78 Oct 26 2011, 07:29 AM

I'll grab the final draft spot if still open.

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 26 2011, 12:00 PM

Haysspook drops the Raiders so they are available if anyone is interested. Added a draft slot for GoGiants78 and may still have one left depending on the final number of slots claimed.

If we are allowed two draft spots, I will grab a second one if it stays available. If not, no problem.

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 26 2011, 03:22 PM

Just got tracking info for our case and unfortunately it's not delivered until Monday. I will set this for a Tuesday evening break with time TBD.

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 26 2011, 04:41 PM

Bills have been dropped. That gives us one more draft slot available (after giving Cardman123 the 2nd requested slot) and puts us right on budget for the case but no extra boxes.

Posted by: BOBKONING Oct 26 2011, 05:46 PM

I'll take another draft slot.

We will hold the draft by tomorrow (or it could be tonight) as I'm just waiting on one more possible team sold. The break itself will be Tuesday night at 9:30pm(ct). Good luck all!

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 30 2011, 03:48 PM

Highlander joins us with the Seahawks. That means we are one over on our draft slots so if anyone would prefer to drop out please let me know by 9pm tonight. Otherwise I will have to bump the last entry which is Bob's 2nd pick. Draft will start tonight (or as soon as we know who the final draft entrants are).

Posted by: crpalmi Oct 30 2011, 08:48 PM

Break time guys! Loading these took forever and unfortunately I haven't had a chance to upload any of the pics. We'll have to do with just the videos for now and I'll load those as soon as I can.

18 box case tonight...one video at a time.

First one up in a minute.

The AFC NFC redemption I believe is just the RPM Auto Jersey with it spelled out AFC or NFC depending on the player.

Spectrum Gold Autograph #11 = Ray Rice (Ravens)

Posted by: crpalmi Nov 1 2011, 10:37 PM

That's it folks...with just a few redemptions to figure out, that's the break. Some good ones and I do like the design but I would have liked to have seen a bit better rookie star power and less collation issues.

Thanks to all who participated and the cards will be out soon!

By the way, for those in the monthly high end break, the remaining 3 boxes will be posted in about 10 minutes from now in the other thread.

Thanks all!

Posted by: BOBKONING Nov 1 2011, 10:40 PM

Thanks again for breaking Chris and congrats on the nice cards!

Thanks for the break Chris. Another painful one for me. Not really impressed with the product. With that I am done.

Posted by: Cardman123 Nov 2 2011, 12:12 AM

Thanks for the break Chris. 2011 products are rough on the Rams...at least I got a couple nice ones with my draft picks.

Congrats to those that got nice hits..

Posted by: faulkrules Nov 2 2011, 12:12 AM

Thanks Chris! I am up to my ears in Alex Green (too bad he just went on IR for the season)... sad.gif

Seemed to me like a typical case of Absolute...shiny but of no real consequence. Were there any designated case hits?

Still sorting out the redemptions but I believe one was DeMarco Murray.

Hit or miss as the 3 boxes we broke in the High End group were better than most of these 18 as we hit a better Julio Jones RPM Auto. 3 color Ponder RPM, and a Cam Newton Redemption auto!

At $150 per box, this stuff is overrated. Just saying. biggrin.gif

I don't think we opened a single box worth $100. Just saying. biggrin.gif

However, I'm not disappointed we opened it cause now we know.

Posted by: BOBKONING Nov 2 2011, 02:46 PM

On another happy note.... Gold Standard says Dec 7th release. What will we do til then?

Funny you should say that Bob. I was shocked when I saw the pricepoint of this product. If I had no knowledge of the group's budget and was just watching these boxes with no previous knowledge other than what came out of them, I would think a "fair" pricepoint would be about $75-$90 a box. At $150 a box....that is just plain robbery.

Have I ever mentioned I hate Panini? tongue.gif

And next up is another Panini product with a $200 per box pricepoint. Let's hope we get better value with that one!

Still waiting on 5 panini redemptions going on 8 months and counting. They don't even reply to my inquiries....

Yea ... I got a Sidney Rice Auto with Sidney actually in a Seahawks uniform: Have a whole collection of him for 2011 in Vikings purple. Yuck!

Hi again guys. Sorry I haven't updated with pictures but my camera is not working correctly so all the pics I have are blurry. I'll add some of the highlights here but to see the whole story you can look at the Boxbreakers photobucket.
