Happy Holidays everyone! It's December and after some debate whether to have a December break with everyone so busy (and low on funds) due to the Holidays...it was decided to go ahead with it since we haven't missed a month yet. I am basing the product list on about $100 less than we had last month just thinking that people may not be as quick to pick up extra drafted teams this month but hopes are we can add to the product list as we did last month!

We will run the group the same as last month where the cost is $50 to purchase your team ($48 for each additional) but also after the team selections are all made and we draw closer to the break date, we will have an optional paid-draft system in which you can pick up any remaining teams for just $20 per team (in a draft format). That means you could select one team at full price and draft another 3 and end up averaging just $27.50 per team! Here is the product list for December;

2008 Cosigners (2 boxes)
2008 Playoff Prime Cuts
2007 Bowman Best
2007 SP Authentic
2005 Donruss Signatures
1972 Topps Wax Pack

The details:
Cost: $50 per team ($48 each addtl) and $20 draft options
Payment Deadline: Dec 22nd
Break Date: Jan 3rd

Here is our list of participants. Please check in to make sure to let me know if you are wanting to change, add, or drop any team(s).

No additions?

[Cardman123]

Hi Chris. Thanks for last month's break. For December, I am going to drop the Orioles and keep the Dodgers. However, I will probably add two or three teams during the draft, depending on if I have funds available.

Thanks...Joe

Thanks Joe... Orioles are now available along with some other great teams. We've got a few high end boxes with Prime Cuts and Signatures both being $200 boxes along with some other nice stuff this month. Will probably be adding another box to the product list if we get the same participation we did last month!

I just posted a 5 Box group break of that in the BB Marketplace (literally a couple minutes ago).

[Cardman123]

Hi Chris...when are we holding the supplemental draft? I know I won't be able to be around the computer much, if at all, on Wednesday and Thursday because of the holiday.

p.s. Also, just wondering if I stay on the waiting list for the team(s) I requested last month, or do I need to request being on the waiting list for them each month?

No, you should stay on the waitlist but I can't find your request so if you would resend I'd apreciate it.

As for the draft. I think we'll probably wait until Dec 28 or 29 when possibly more people may be around to do it. This will be a good month to PM me a list of interested teams if you can't be around for it though.

[Cardman123]

Cool....I had asked to be put on the waitlist for the Reds and Rays. Thanks.

Happy Holidays to all and many great 09 breaks

[crpalmi]

OK guys...no rush on this as we have some time but I figure since everyone is paid up and I haven't received any other bites on new participants we should go ahead and start the draft.

Remember this is an optional paid draft so when your pick comes up you can either choose to pass or to select an extra team at the discounted cost of $20. Once through the order we'll allow everyone to pick up more $20 teams if they wish and will award them in reverse draft order. So without further ado here are the draft details;

Draft Order (Remember it's $20 to select a team);

1. Stormfan7
2. Cardman123
3. Giants_1313
4. Dan
5. 5Pujols5
6. Tileman
7. Crpalmi
8. Prophecy Guy
9. Gottabe
10. Maybach
