Ever want to join a box break club and your favorite team is never available? Been there, done that. Well this is your chance to join and pick your team favorite. A couple of friends and I decided to start are own box break club because of the limited good teams available. Actually I encourage other TCC members to start their own Box break club so all members don't have to wait for their team to become available.


Now lets take a look at the club rules:
(These rules may seem similar to another clubs rules, its just what my friends and I agreed upon)

1. $25 a team, $22 for any additional team.
2. PayPal payments only.
3. Club members will give input on what boxes to purchase.
4. Videos will be made of each box break and will be broadcast LIVE on UStream.
5. Team owners have first choice to either hold on to their team or choose an unclaimed team for the following month.
6. If a member does not reclaim their team(s) and does not participate in the break the following month, then their team(s) will be forfeited that month.

Our objective is to make all our club members happy. We want to make sure we send everyone a hit or two. Hits are classified as Game Used, Autographs, Printing Plates, serial numbered cards, refractors of all sorts, and redemptions. So, box preference is crucial. I will try to mix it up with at least 1 high end box, several middle to low end boxes, and 1 rookies box.

Rules for cards from unclaimed teams:

1. Hits from these teams will be randomly distributed to members by drawing names out of a hat and will be done live on the forum.
2. Claiming more than one team does increase your odds of winning.
3. Once you have been awarded an unclaimed hit, your name will be removed from the drawing (unless you have claimed more than 1 team).
4. If there are more unclaimed hits than members/claimed teams, then there will be a second round of drawings.
5. Unclaimed base cards will be distributed to all members randomly and will not be done live nor taped.

More deciding rules:

1. Cards with multiple teams represented will be decided by drawing names out of a hat between the owners of the teams on the card.
2. Cards with a player that is wearing a different jersey than what card says goes to team depicted on card, not by jersey.
3. Cards with a player in their minors/college jersey will go to the team they were drafted by.


If, by chance, your team does not pull any base cards I will send u cards from my PC of your claimed teams.

There you go. Thats bout it. If there are any changes or additions in the rules, they will be posted here on the thread.

I regret that I will be dropping out of this monthly break.

I have enjoyed being part of this group, & you will probably still see me lurking when you do your live breaks!

Unfortunately, my interest in baseball is decidedly "old school", in an ESPN Classic sort of way. I rarely watch baseball on TV, & when last month's break was held, I didn't recognize the names of most of the players that were being read out!

I thank you for letting me be a part of this group, & I wish all of the members Major Mojo in the future.

Can you hop me on over from the Padres to the Braves? Also, are there any preliminary ideas for what we might break this month?

Thanks,

That really isnt a list. Its just a bunch of suggestions. LMK what u guys would really want to bust.

Posted by: batman1641 Jul 10 2009, 02:41 AM

Premier without question. The hits are spread around nicely and we have gotten great cards from them. And how about 09 A & G?

Posted by: 5toosweet Jul 10 2009, 06:53 PM

We can do:

List 1

08 SPX
09 Icons (releases next week)
09 A & G
09 SP Legendary Cuts
09 Spectrum
08 Premier

all for just under $550. We need to sell 4 more teams to make this happen.

LMK what u think.

Posted by: 5toosweet Jul 10 2009, 07:04 PM

OR


we could do:

List 2

08 Premier x2
08 SPX
09 A & G
09 Icons

for about the same price.

Which one u guys like the best?

Posted by: batman1641 Jul 10 2009, 07:11 PM

I like list 2 better. Premier is sweet.

Posted by: batman1641 Jul 10 2009, 07:57 PM

I have a question for you. I have seen LaPorta's A & G card. And he is wearing a USA jersey but an Indians hat. Would that card go to the Indians?

Posted by: batman1641 Jul 10 2009, 08:03 PM

If it goes to the indians than give me the Indians this month also.

Posted by: 5toosweet Jul 10 2009, 08:27 PM

Good ?, batman.

Answer: The card would go to the Indians. The card looks as if he is wearing a USA pullover. So it still could be an Indians card. Any other cards with USA jerseys will go to the team indicated by card/jersey/hat. In that order. If neither of those items do not indicate a team it will be part of the random base unless it is a game used or autograph.

We need payments in by Sunday evening fellas. If this is not possible please pm me right away.

Option 2 looks like the front runner so far but we still need to sell 3 more teams to make this possible.

Posted by: batman1641 Jul 14 2009, 11:02 PM

OK give me Seattle. Come everyone. That means 2 teams still need picked up.

Thanks adub4545 for picking up an extra team.

I need payments in by Sunday. I will be leaving for vacation to Norman, Oklahoma on July 23 so I will like to do the break on Wednesday the 22nd. I will be back by the evening of July 26th. Cards will be sorted and sent out after I get back.

Posted by: pwolantern Jul 16 2009, 12:26 PM

My payment will be made on Sunday!

Posted by: 5toosweet Jul 17 2009, 04:17 PM

We have enough teams sold to get the boxes on our list.

I will order them Sunday if all payments are in. If not then the break MAY get delayed by a week.

So get those payments in!

I will try to have pics and transactions up by tomorrow evening. I will be leaving for Norman, Oklahoma late Thursday night. I will probably not have any internet access until I come back home on Monday. We all need a break from the computer every now and then. I wanna say Thanks to everyone who participated this month. It was a lot of fun bustin the newer products. Maybe the Cole Hamels Auto #4/5 could win group break pull of the month.

See ya guys when I get back.
