Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 3 2009, 07:30 PM

bunch of good teams left!

Posted by: Kiansdad Feb 3 2009, 08:42 PM

Im sorry, but are your transaction COMPLETE from your last break?

I would doubt it since the break was just posted the other day.

You really should wait to host another break until the other break is complete.. especially since you were a little rough in handling the cards in that break IMO.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 3 2009, 08:46 PM

ok, ill leave this one closed until the transactions from the leaf break. i sent all the cards out though. and a little rough? what do you mean?

Watch your own video:

And imagine you are not the one breking the box, you are a member of the break who paid money for cards.

Watch how you almost throw the cards down as you open them, sometimes just dropping them onto other leaning stacks of cards. You can actually hear the cards hitting the table.

Now, if you had paid your money to be in this break, is that how you would want to see cards that are potentially yours handled?

You tell me.

the cards were all in fine shape. And it was mostly just with base

Thats not the point, the point is you need to treat the cards like they arent yours.. because in this case, THEY ARENT.

While it might be "mostly just base" to you, to someone that paid their money, it might be the ONLY thing they have to show for it and the base might include card(s) of their favorite player.

How would you feel if you paid money to get in a group break and then received cards (base or otherwise) with dinged corners or edges?

It might not matter to you, but you have to remember that in the end, the cards arent yours to treat however you want.

Again, watch the video and imagine you arent breaking the box, you are someone who bought into the group break to get cards of your favorite team, even if it was just base. Is that how you would want to see your cards handled?

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 4 2009, 07:05 AM

Yes , ill be much more careful next time.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 7 2009, 05:49 PM

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 7 2009, 07:05 PM

looking at some other options, would anyone join at $87 for a picked and random team for a full case? lmk either way

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 7 2009, 07:14 PM

formatted to $46 for a picked and random team!

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 7 2009, 07:47 PM

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 7 2009, 10:39 PM

switching from bears to ravens. boxes will be ordered from blowout

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 08:28 AM

up for the day

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 01:12 PM

only 12 spots left!

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 06:39 PM

will be putting this up on youtube later to help it fill.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 07:01 PM

changed to a full case. might as well, its only $36 extra per spot, and doubles the amount of boxes and hits, and guarentees a factory sealed case, which guarentees all the case hits.

Posted by: Gypsie Feb 8 2009, 07:20 PM

I'm guessing that the Falcons and raiders are not random?

They are random.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 07:25 PM

gypsie: I said in the post they are random

Posted by: Gypsie Feb 8 2009, 07:29 PM

sorry, I was reading through the posts and noticed that you said "got it" to a guy who asked for the Raiders, thats why I was asking. I guess I can get in on this. I will take the Texans. Also, Please be careful with the cards, I watched the LL break and you flung the cards around pretty viciously.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 07:33 PM

Yes, lol, I like the adjective viciously there. Yes I will be much more careful with these. I was just trying to open fast for some some reason. But you got the texans!

Posted by: tileman Feb 8 2009, 07:59 PM

bears

Posted by: tileman Feb 8 2009, 08:00 PM

are we getting base cards in this break?

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 08:02 PM

I'll send like 2-4 of each, but sending 10-15 of each card would cost too much. I got you down for the bears.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 09:22 PM

also, i can do half spots if anyone would like one. $41 for a random team.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 8 2009, 10:13 PM

Also, if the price goes down at all I'll through in a special box topper

Posted by: Kiansdad Feb 9 2009, 10:09 AM

Still have the same problem with bumping and changing the break format around almost every hour?

Between that and the handling of the cards, I wonder why you have so much trouble filling a break?

Personally, and this is only my opinion, I dont think you are anywhere NEAR ready to take on a case break (you had enough trouble with the single box ones), but if others want to join, it is at their own risk... who am I to tell them what to do with their money?

Just dont come crying to this team member if something goes wrong.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 9 2009, 02:56 PM

bumping? and i just changed it to a case because it gave much more value. the second 6 boxes were $10 less per spot than the 1st six. and what does it matter if i handled them a little rough, none of them got damaged? and nothing has gone wrong with either break i have done so far, and both breaks i sent THE DAY THE BREAK TOOK PLACE! most people wait 3-4 days to send. i order promptly, draw teams promptly, open promptly, set up organized and orderly transactions, package well with dc and team bags and top loaders, open at a good, clear, camera angle, things that most people cannot say about their breaks on here.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 9 2009, 02:57 PM

and changing the format every hour? i changed it once over 3 days?

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 9 2009, 07:55 PM

up for the night

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 10 2009, 06:43 PM

Just advice, take it as your will...but I'm sure people (paying members) would like to know they THEIR cards are being treated well and respectfully because WHAT IF cards did get damaged? You can handle YOUR cards anyway you please, but these are OTHER PEOPLES CARDS NOT YOURS you are handling!

Good luck on your case.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 10 2009, 08:14 PM

Yes I know, I didn't realize it at the time that I was being rough at the time, but I was trying to get the 16 packs under 10mins. But since this is going to be live, I will be able to take my time.

Posted by: bigpapi3434 Feb 11 2009, 07:44 PM
