Posted by: northicehero99 Jan 15 2011, 03:36 PM
I like 2 of the T-206, if you do the Bowman Chrome are you going to random the wrappers for the wrapper promotion?
Posted by: rafa20440 Jan 15 2011, 04:20 PM
Any of the two are good with me and 2 or 3 boxes is fine.

Anyone else?
Posted by: sasports Jan 23 2011, 05:08 AM
Accepting payments! $$$ isnt due until the 1st, but since I am paying out of my bank for the boxes, I would like to transfer as much as I can before I buy them!
The last 4 spots are still open if anyone wants them. Myself and pavi39 will be picking them up if they dont fill by the first.
I would also entertain half spots (chosen Team) for CURRENT MEMBERS only!

Posted by: sasports Jan 31 2011, 10:25 AM
still waiting on 5 payments. Just a reminder, I would like to have all payments in tommorow so I can go ahead and order. The boxes for my first break are taking a while to get here so I want to get the ball rolling so we can get the boxes sooner!
Posted by: northicehero99 Jan 31 2011, 07:16 PM
Sorry forgot about this one, payment was sent. LMK if not rec'd.
Posted by: sasports Feb 1 2011, 10:37 AM

Posted by: pavi39 Feb 1 2011, 02:20 PM
Payment sent.
Posted by: sasports Feb 1 2011, 02:34 PM
Got them! I transfered the payapl to my bank and will order in the next couple fo days. I planned on ordering out of pocket while waiting for the paypal, but my wifes job decided to mess up her paycheck and I want to make sure she has enough dough to feed my little monster! 
Posted by: sasports Feb 3 2011, 03:40 AM
Ok, here is the issue. For those of you in my 1st break (2 x A&G) you probably know by now that our package is lost in transit! I am going to hold off for a few more days before purchasing these boxes to see what is going on. The 1st break WILL Happen if I have to purchase 2 more boxes out of pocket. And this break will happen as well! Please feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns. I apologize for the inconvience of this mess!
Posted by: Soxarethechamps05 Feb 6 2011, 02:06 PM
Payment Sent!
Posted by: Boston5761 Feb 6 2011, 08:02 PM
sent
Posted by: sasports Feb 7 2011, 02:09 AM
Recieved both payments
I will try to get the random done tonight and get the video posted.
We have finally figured out what was going on with my first box break being missing in the mail! It is on it way (again) and should be here in about 3 days. As soon as I recieve that box, I will order these boxes.

Just saw this message!
Arrival at Military Post Office, March 05, 2011, 7:10 pm, APO, AE 09333
Please keep in mind that it still may be a day or two before I actually recieve this as it must be sorted at our main office!
Posted by: sasports Mar 6 2011, 11:00 AM
Finally some progress! I did recieve this box today! Unfortunatley, he had to break up my order into 2 boxes. So I only recieved 2 boxes of 206 and the boxes of 98 football that i ordered (for me ). The others should be here in the next day or two!
I will go ahead and bust the two 206 boxes tonight when i get off work and post the hits. Because of the internet here, I will be burning the videos to disk and sending each of you a disc with all of the vids (random, each box, etc). This will cut down on time (breaking them now while we wait on the others). Additionally, I will still try to add the vids online, but the disk is just a backup
Posted by: Boston5761 Mar 6 2011, 11:05 AM
are you breaking them now
not sure on the time difference, it's probably night there

Posted by: Boston5761 Mar 6 2011, 11:12 AM
right, my question is what the time difference is.
Posted by: Boston5761 Mar 6 2011, 11:13 AM
'(breaking them now while we wait on the others)'
is what i am confused by
Posted by: road_runner_1964 Mar 6 2011, 11:17 AM
is what i am confused by
He is breaking these now (tonight when he gets off work) and not waiting on the other (boxes from the other break).
Posted by: msw_sportscards Mar 6 2011, 12:31 PM
There will still be 1 box to break for this group as well when the other half of his order arrives.

Any update on the 3rd box? Thanks.
Posted by: sasports Mar 10 2011, 06:46 PM
I have the tracking number for the other boxes (t206 and the A&G boxes plus more stuff i ordered). It was mailed same day as the first but hasnt showed up yet. I just moved to night shift so I havent been able to check mail in a couple of days. Will check in the A.M. and update if recieved.
Posted by: sasports Mar 14 2011, 06:54 PM
Everyone,
It is apparent that this break is not going as planned 
. I thank you all for you patience to this point. I have a choice to make here and I want to ensure that each and everyone of you are satisfied with the outcome as much as possible.
To date, I have only recieved 2 boxes which have been broken and vidoed. Unfortunatley, it doesnt look to good on the last box showing up. So I am offering a couple of options to everyone to end this nightmare and not have tons of failed transactions.
1. Anyone who wishes a partial refund for the last box will recieve it and I will eat their spot.
2. Anyone who wishes to wait for the last box, I appreciate it! However I dont know how long it will be. But I can promise you that if it is not recieved by my next payday (April 1) I will order the box out of pocket if anyone is left.
3. For the 2 boxes already broken, to help me cut down on costs as well as get some transactions out of the way for this break, I will buy your base from you. I am not going to offer the full spots worth of paypal back for a bunch of base though. I like to think I am a nice guy, but not that nice!
Please let me know what your thoughts and concerns are. This will be individual descions, so no one decision will have an effect on somone else. Thank you for your continued patience. I assure you, the issue that caused this mess is being handled so that this will never happen again.
Posted by: northicehero99 Mar 14 2011, 07:13 PM
Shawn I am willing to wait, unless the majority wants a refund. However, I hardly see that as a worthwhile idea considering you would be refunding what $4 or so and some or all of us would loose part of that to the paypal fees. I again am not interested in option #3.
Posted by: pavi39 Mar 14 2011, 07:13 PM
Shawn - whatever you decide I'll back you 100%. I'm in this to the end if that is what is to happen.
Posted by: sasports Mar 14 2011, 07:17 PM
Thank you again. As far as the paypal refund, I would be giving either cash along with the cards or extra $$ on the paypal end to cover the difference. Whatever your choice is, that 100% fine with me as I am just tired of this whole mess. Either way I will be making this up to everyone!
Thank you!
Posted by: msw_sportscards Mar 14 2011, 08:26 PM
I'm willing to wait for the last box. However, I wouldn't mind knowing what or who is causing these problems. I know it's not you and I appreciate everything you're doing to rectify the situation.
Posted by: Soxarethechamps05 Mar 16 2011, 07:10 PM
Same here
Posted by: sasports Mar 16 2011, 07:11 PM
Thanks again! I promise you wont regret sticking it out!
Posted by: sasports Mar 25 2011, 06:52 PM
I am still waiting on the boxes! This has gone on long enough. My wife filed our taxes today and as soon as I get them I am ordering these boxes (and a little somthing extra) out of pocket and will get them busted. Once again, I will not fault anyone if you wish to recieve a refund.
Posted by: sasports Mar 28 2011, 05:48 PM
THE BREAK IS BACK!
Sinatraking (Brandon) has graciously offered to break the remaining box for us so that we can get this done quicker! I will send out what is in my possesion and he will be sending the rest! Thank you again for your continued patience!
Please shoot both me and Brandon your addresses (a lot quicker than searching a couple hundred paypal transactions!) Thanks
Posted by: sasports Mar 31 2011, 07:13 PM
Transactions Posted and my 2 boxes are going in the mail........Brandon will be sending out the last box as soon as he gets it
Posted by: sasports Apr 5 2011, 08:30 PM
Everyones Packages have been shipped (with the exception of pavi39, whose is going out in the morning as I had to get some extra supplies for all of his )
The third and final box of this break is enroute to Brandon who has been kind enough to break it for us to make this go a lot quicker! Due to the issues with the break, my teams will be distributed amongst the members of the break with 1 exception:
If a Stephen Strasburg AUTO is pulled, I will be recieving it. I plan on selling it and spliting the money between all of the members of the break equally base on # of spots! This is only if a Strasburgh Auto is Pulled!
Thank you all for your patience with this fiasco!

Box is here, and I am live:
