Hey guys and gals due to a lack of team basketball breaks and per a number of requests, I have been asked to start the Monthly Basketball Box break back up.
The guidelines of this break have changed since the last break that I hosted in order to make it more fair for everybody. There will be 10 spots per break. Each spot will run $25, and will consist of (1) selected team and two drafted teams. The only catch is that there will be (4) teams that won't be available to be selected. The two teams that are only available to be drafted in the first round are the (Bulls and Heat). The other two teams that are only available to be drafted in the second round are the (Lakers & Celtics). This is to give each member a fair shot at getting these four big teams. The draft will consist of a snake draft that will be recorded live on random.org and Ustream. Selected teams will be kept by the current owner until they are given up.
Boxes will be voted on by the consensus of the group. Every box will be opened live via Ustream.com. Every member will receive any and all cards that are pulled from their teams including base, numbered, GU and auto cards. If a card is pulled of a player then, the card will go to the team that the player currently plays for. For example, (if a card is pulled of Lebron in a Cavs Uniform, then it would go to the owner of the Heat, since he currently plays for that team). If a dual or triple player card is pulled and includes players from multiple teams then it will be randomed of between the owners of those teams. But, if for example (a triple auto is pulled and one member has multiple players on it then their name would be put in a drawing for however many players they had on that card on random.org). For instance if a card that has Blake Griffin, Durant and John Wall is pulled, and one member has the Clippers & Wizards then that member would receive two chances to get the card.
Transactions will be set up as soon as the break is done and cards will be sent out in bubble mailers with DC on all packages.

Anybody interested in joining today. Just two more spots are left. Let's fill this thing up guys.
Thanks, Matt
New user and I would like to get into the break. If possible I would like the 76ers. Also, if possible could I be put on the waiting list for the Thunder.
I've got you down bud.
Thanks, Matt
Interested in joining, what teams can I choose from?
Also, I'd like to reserve the last spot, just to clarify. I just want to know the list of teams I can choose from.
You can select anyone thats not the lakers, bulls, heat and celtics, or any of the chosen teams already
Ballplayer, I've got you down.
Thank you guys for filling this break up. Let's get some suggestions or some boxes going. How does March 1st sound for the payments to be due? If that's too soon with everybody then let me know. Once we get all of the payments in we'll do the draft randomization on Ustream and get the draft rolling.
Thanks, Matt
Guys, we're probably looking at about $230 in boxes so let's take that into consideration when choosing boxes. The extra $20 will go towards supplies & shipping plus paypal fees. As for boxes, I'd like to see a box of 2010 Contenders patches. I'm game for any 2009-10 boxes for some Dejuan Blair Mojo.
Thanks, Matt
According to Blowout, we can get a box of 10/11 Contenders for $100, and a box of 2008/09 SPx for $130. Anyone down for that?
I'm also interested in joining the group break club.
Rebel31, what team would you like to be put on the waiting list for? Please lmk and I'll put you down.
My paypal address is:
turbonsam@yahoo.com
Thanks, Matt
I perfer a box of 09/10 anything i not to keen on 08/09 SPX
Contenders is Fine with me
mike
It looks like for the price we could do the following:
09/10 Court Kings - 1 pack/11 cards/4 auto or memorabilia
09/10 Crown Royale - 4 packs/7 cards per pack/4 auto or memorabilia
10/11 Limited - 1 pack/7 cards/3 auto or memorabilia
or instead of the limited we could do a timeless treasures or a threads.
I'd rather stay away from 08-09. I'm not sure if there were redemptions in the product and if they would still be good or not.
You are right. 08/09 SPx is great with all the hits, a great rookie class compared to '09 and '10, plus a chance at veteran autos and patches. I also remember reading that there were very few or no redemptions in the product.
Or to spread the years, we could do, all according to Blowout:
$80- 2008/09 Topps Hardwood
$70-2009/10 Court Kings
$70-2010/11 Limited
Or we could do the 08/09 SPx option, with 10/11 Contenders since thats the new stuff.
I like frankFBcards selection
mike
Alright here are the choices so far:
Choice A:
2010/11 Contenders for $100
2008/09 SPx for $130
Choice B:
09/10 Court Kings - 1 pack/11 cards/4 auto or memorabilia $70
09/10 Crown Royale - 4 packs/7 cards per pack/4 auto or memorabilia $85.90
10/11 Limited - 1 pack/7 cards/3 auto or memorabilia $70
Choice C:
08/09 SPx $130
07/08 Fleer ($45, 4 memorabilia or autograph cards per box)
09/10 Upper Deck ($49, 3 memorabilia cards, 1 auto in every box)
Choice D:
$80- 2008/09 Topps Hardwood
$70-2009/10 Court Kings
$70-2010/11 Limited
Choice E:
PURCHASE PRICES OF : CHARM CITY CARDS
1 2010-11 PANINI LIMITED BASKETBALL BOX -$85.00
1 2009-10 PANINI ROOKIES/STARS -BOX $90,00
1 2007-08 UPPER DECK SWEET SHOT BASKETBALL TIN -$65.
I'm for option B, since I've been out of the hobby for awhile and haven't opened any of the new stuff from last year and this year.
1. TB40- Spurs OPTION B
2. Pavi39- Bucks
3. Maple19- Clippers OPTION B[/D
5. Sportscard Collector- Thunder
6. Straightbutta14- Kings OPTION B
7. Karlito's Way- Wizards
8. Frankiefbcards(2)- Knicks OPTION D
9. Mwood7- 76ers
10. Ballplayer613- Warriors OPTION A
Please lmk if these choices are good with everybody, and please post a vote based on these choices. If we need to tweak a box in a certain choice then please voice your opinion. I think that we needc to keep the choices of boxes to no more than 5 selections. What does everybody think?
Choice A. And yes, lets keep it to 5, we need to get the break done, so the longer we argue about what to break, the longer it will be until we bust the products.
B For Me
mike
I think these are five nice choices to choose from, so I agree we don't need anymore (maybe a good tweak if anybody has one).
I don't really know any of the products in-depth, so I can't comment much on what they tend to yield or how well they re-sell if you wanted to do that. If I did my math right, the options and the number of hits looks like this:
A: 14
B: 11
C: 18
D: 10
E: 11
What worries me about option B is that there are only 46 cards total. That says that on average we would each end up receiving 4 or 5 cards with one of those being a hit. But knowing the way these things tend to work, somebody would probably end up with 2 or 3 base cards for their $25.
So, since I have no idea how lucky we'll get or what types of hits they will be, I'm going to go with option C and hope that everyone gets something.
I go B... my choice is simply on the fact there is more of a chance for me to get a King...
Although I realize that choice b has fewer cards, I was looking to try and pick things up from where the last club let off and some things that haven't been broken before. I have very little access to basketball cards in my area since most of the shops don't carry them.
I think the idea is for this club to carry on from month to month, meaning if something doesn't get broken in this month we can certainly try it another month. Trust me - there were quite a few months I had no hits and very little base cards having the Bucks in the last club. I'm certainly not looking for bang for my buck (although it would be nice), but rather to increase my collection of Bucks without having to buy whole boxes myself.
All that being said - I would have to vote for option B myself.
Since it seems like choice wont get voted, I'll swing my vote to Option B to get this thing going. The faster we get to a majority vote, the faster we can bust.
After thinking about it I will go with choice B also.
payment sent for the 76ers
Whats the word on the break? Im assuming B is the products we will be busting, but isnt today the deadline for payments?
My money has been sent.

Thanks for doing the break, Matt, and for getting the pictures up right away.
It was nice that we picked up the extra hit from Court Kings and also got the one from MVP. Overall it seemed like a decent break.
Hey guys, my printer ran out of ink today, so packages will go out tomorrow morning when I can print the shipping labels from paypal up at work. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks,
Matt
