I'd prefer to keep this every month if folks are ok with that. I also don't want the product list to be too structured as that limits me from buying bargains when I see them as that allows us to add more products. I am going to try to get the next thread up soon and while it will include an 07 box, that will likely be the last time we regularly see 07 included. That's not to say that if there are great deals on an 07 product going forward we might not bring it back but it won't be a regular occurrance.

I'm not proposing doing away with 24 pack boxes but merely having less than we have currently. I still like the one high end box with the rest being mid-range but when the new list is posted I'll look for feedback on your thoughts on the mix.

As for the unclaimed teams, I'm open to whatever you guys want to propose.

Speaking for myself (although I feel I'm not alone in this), my reasons for making suggestions are purely selfish.

This is a break I look forward to every month, both for the quality and the on-line comraderie. I was concerned that Chris was getting a little "burnt out" and that's why I was in favor of every 2 months. (Whatever it took to keep the break going!)

I'm thrilled that it is going to be kept as a monthly break.

I think the mix on one high end, and mostly mid-range is perfect. I also love the video portion, and I think there are some more products we can bust that fit both the time-frame of a video as well as the definition of mid-range.

In addition to my suggestions in an earlier post, we could also occasionally do 2008 Leaf Limited.

Maybe the lower end products could be limited to either when Chris gets a great deal, or else the newest release. That way there is still a novelty to it.

Anyway, thanks as always for running the break, Chris! I can't wait until next month!

I like this break every month as long as it doesn't becomes too much for Chris. I'm sure if he needs a break he would have no problem saying so as he has done in the past. As far as product, I agree just watching a 24 pack box being broken gets a little taxing at times and would like to see more 10-12 pack boxes with a hi-end box mixed in there.

i love the monthly thing and i like the 1 high end and a few mid and 1 or 2 lower end. I say we stick to 08 and newer though as the redemptions in teh older stuff just stink.
Cant wait for more 2011 stuff as it seems the dolphins picks are in it a bit tongue.gif
