How it Works (Official Rules)

Hey guys we're back this month with a different format. I'm going to change the break format up to a Bi-Monthly break in order to keep it filled. Last month we were delayed by the late release of one of our products and by not enough interest in the break.

Each member pays $50 ($52 if paying via PayPal) but stretching it over 2 months makes it $26/month. That covers about $500 in boxes, shipping, and supplies. You get one team (you cannot take a team that has already been taken) of your choice. The remaining 20 teams go to the members via a draft. This gives you a total of three teams. Every single card pulled out of a box that has a player from one of your three teams goes to you. The box breaks are done via a video break, so there is no question as to what was pulled.

Fees are due by the last day of the first month. This way we will have a month to order/break the boxes and get everything shipped out. The boxes are ordered and the draft begins as soon as all fees are collected. As soon as the draft completes and the boxes are in, the video breaks are done. The cards are then shipped out by the box breaker as soon as the results have been posted. We decide as a group what boxes to break each month.

This months breaker

Just am not into basketball right now as much as I use to be. Wish everyone the best of luck in the breaks and you will probally see me sometime in the future.

Posted by: Karlitos Way Apr 18 2010, 01:07 PM

We'll miss ya, Andy!

If Oliver doesn't want to take over the Lakers this time around I'll grab em (for this break - not trying to hold onto them long-term).

Posted by: RokCrawler08 Apr 20 2010, 04:29 AM

Im In, Also put Me On The Kings Waiting List...

Posted by: Tb40 Apr 21 2010, 02:36 PM

Andy, I'm sorry to see a long time member leave, but if your heart's not in it then there's no reason to stick around. I'll see if Oliver wants the Lakers still. Karl, If Oliver doesn't want them I'll put you down for them. Do you still want the Cavs also though? Rokcrawler, I'll put you on the waiting list for the Kings.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: DCool Apr 23 2010, 01:34 PM

Matt
this restriction is holding me back, I know this. And let me say the agreements that I failed were from 2years ago. The members which were involed haven't been on in months last year to exact. I have talked to rgbii about it, cuz Bob hasn't been seen. I just want to back to normal and be able to trade and participate in these breaks. Sorry to rob your thread.
Thanks scott

Hey guys, we are now full. Bluechip, has decided to join the group with the Thunder.
Thanks,

Woooo What Boxes/Case We Doin?

Posted by: Tb40 Apr 28 2010, 04:58 PM

Hey guys, let's start to get a selection of boxes together so we can think about what we want to break. I want to do a selection of boxes, but the redemptions from Upperdeck scare me right now. With their status in limbo, I don't want to risk the chance of somebody pulling a great redemption and then not getting it fulfilled. Please lmk what you guys would like to do.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: otter8418 Apr 28 2010, 05:13 PM

i am worried about this group NOT breaking upper deck products. I have the bulls so the only shot I have of getting a jordan is from UD products. If this group decides to not do them, I would like a chance to switch teams. taking away the BEST player from my team kills the value of the bulls.

Posted by: Tb40 Apr 28 2010, 05:38 PM

Otter, I understand completely. I know that Upper Deck cut down on their staff and pretty much cut out the customer service dept, but haven't really heard how the redemptions are still being handled. I do know that they closed down the redemption center that they had in Nevada if I'm not mistaken. I don't want to cut certain teams out of the break because of an exclusive contract that they have with a company. I want everybody to get a fair shot at the biggest hit that they can get. It's really up to you guys what you want to do and break.
Thanks, Matt

Heres Some Ideas....

09-10 Timeless Treasures
09-10 Classics
07-08 Rookie Threads
07-08 Sweet Shot
08-09 Rookie Threads

just my 2 pennies...

Posted by: Derek4484 Apr 29 2010, 11:40 AM

First off i dont think we have to worry bout upperdeck to much as I think they will be able to withstand the tough time and make it through.

they have the NCAA contract and still have thier exclusives so i think it be fine breaking one or two upperdeck products especially recent ones.

I would like to see Timeless Treasures and Classics included. Also I think Studio is a Nice Product.

Also you can only switch your team before boxs are picked its only fair . So if you have the Bulls you just have to put your 2 cents in a vote when there are selections. If there is no Jordan chances then so be it the Bulls still have a lot of good current players Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson, Jokim Noah ..

Posted by: otter8418 Apr 29 2010, 01:10 PM

that's fair. I think that this will probably be an ongoing debate so go ahead and switch me from the bulls to the rockets.

thanks,

doug

Posted by: Tb40 Apr 29 2010, 10:31 PM

I would like to see us break some Classics and Timeless Classics also. I'm always open to busting Sweet shot as Rokcrawler suggested and I think our best bet is busting Rc threads from 07-08 and 08-09 to get a better quantity of hits. Sweet shot is my favorite product across the board in all sports so I'm always open to break that. If we go with any of those boxes we still will have a chance of pulling a Lebron, Kobe, or Jordan auto.

Payment sent.

Voting to keep Sweet Shot in the mix.

Upper deck may have cut down the basketball force, but as of Monday they're still responding to people posting replies to questions on their basketball thread on Facebook. They appear to be going after these redemptions still and the BIG stars we're worried about ... looks like they have already signed.

Hey guys, let's get those payments in as soon as possible so we can get breaking. It looks like we might have another spot open as Otter8418 now has a restriction on his account. He hasn't been on since May 7th. Let's hope that everything is okay with him.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: RokCrawler08 May 30 2010, 11:12 PM

my payment should be on its way tuesday, some dude didnt pay me as soon as he was supposed to...so that knocked me out of sending last week...but anyways, ill try to get it sooner if possible.

Posted by: Tb40 Jun 3 2010, 12:40 PM

Hey guys, just an update. It doesn't look like otter8418 is coming back this month so Pavi39 has offered to take his spot. Rokcrawler08 is having trouble with his paypal so he's sending a money order and bluechip has his payment incoming shortly. Hopefully we'll be able to order in the next few days and break next week.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: Tb40 Jun 8 2010, 06:11 PM

Hey guys, just an update that I'll be out of town on vacation starting tomorrow and I won't be back until Thursday the 17th. I really won't have internet access so I won't be able to order the boxes until then. We're still waiting on two payments that should be incoming. If I get them in then I'll try to get them ordered but It's looking like they might not be in by the time that I leave. Sorry that this has taken so long this month guys. I'm ready to break.

I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: RokCrawler08 Jun 16 2010, 10:36 PM

Alright guys, Remember that the draft is a snake draft so if you're the first pick, then you'll have the last pick in the 2nd round. We'll institute the 24 hour rule to get things moving along faster also. If you haven't checked in within 24 hours of your pick coming up then you'll move to the back of the line, so please send me a proxy list of your teams.
Thanks, Matt

Draft complete. Any updates on when will do the break?

Posted by: Tb40 Jul 4 2010, 12:07 AM

Hey guys, from the looks of the UPS site the boxes might be delivered before the scheduled delivery date of 7-7-10. I could possibly do the break on Tues, but it more than likely will be on Wed. Please lmk what day works best for everybody.
Thanks, Matt

Posted by: RokCrawler08 Jul 4 2010, 02:10 AM

either or is fine with me, if its wednesday id prefer after 7pm EST.. cause i gotta work AM shift.

Posted by: jprk31 Jul 5 2010, 01:13 PM

Any of those days would be ok for me.

Posted by: DCool Jul 6 2010, 03:40 PM

This time around I probably won't be able to make either of these days, so I'm fine with whatever you guys decide.

Posted by: pavi39 Jul 6 2010, 03:52 PM

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make either day as well.

Posted by: Tb40 Jul 7 2010, 01:12 PM

Hey guys, I don't think that I'll be able to break tonight after all. My employees can't seem to come to work so I've gotta work tonight. How does Sat or sunday look for everybody? Please lmk if everybody can make it on those days.
Thamks, Matt
