Time to get our November Multi-Sport Group break thread going! We have a tight turnaround time as payment will need to be due by next weekend to allow time for the draft. The focus will continue to be mid-high to high end products but the actual products broken will be decided by the group. The only prerequisite will be that it must be a box containing no more than 10 packs so this can be an all-Youtube break and we can more easily focus on higher end stuff.

We have formated this much like the old group where you join the group by selecting any available team (from any of the 4 sports - Football, Baseball, Basketball, or Hockey). Once we have filled up all 40 of our slots and collected the $75 slot fee we'll hold a draft (randomized order) where you can select another team (in any sport) and then use a reverse order 2nd round where you draft your 3rd team. You must hold a team from at least two different sports by the end of the draft. We will however allow trading following the draft so if you want you can end up with all 3 teams in the same sport via trade.

As usual you get every card pulled from all the boxes broken and we will do the best we can to split the budget evenly between the 4 sports. Because this will be an on-going monthly group you will have the right to retain ONE team from one month to the next but the other two teams will be drafted teams each month. If you have interest in joining us you can select any unclaimed team to start with...just let me know. Once we fill 40 slots we will continue to take names for the waitlist as well.

mike

I am keeping the Lakers and the Cardinals (BB). I am dropping the Packers. I am not sure about Orioles yet...will have to examine finances. I'll let you know next week on them.

-Joe

In with the Colts again!

I am in would like to drop the Dodgers and pick up the Packers that Cardman123 is dropping

Chris i drop Montreal and take Columbus Blue Jackets as my second team

mike

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Missed the Packers again!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm in with the yanks, kings, bruins and i'll grab the canadiens and drop the oilers.

That makes my decision easy. I will drop the Orioles and pick up the Dodgers. Therefore, my three teams will be Lakers, Dodgers and Cardinals (BB).

-Joe

The Topps Tribute Baseball looks like a great new product.according to blowout it will come out nov. 11...unfortunately it has a release date of Dec. 7 according to the topps website. definitely a product i'd like to see opened in this group whether it's this month or next.

i was just about to pm you about the dodgers cardman. i'll add the orioles to my teams.

kings (hky)
orioles
yankees
bruins
canadiens

Hey Chris,

I am in with the Steelers again.

Thanks

Im out with the Islanders.

Will jump back in if the Yankees, Red Sox, Capitals, Bruins, Penguins, Canadiens , Maple Leafs or BlackHawks ever open for a month, count me in.

I am in with the 49ers and Giants of baseball.

I'm BACK IN with the VIKINGS and SONICS/THUNDER

I thought we weren't going to bust Prime Cuts anymore?

Yeah, I know it was brought up before because we are literally having it every month. I really like Prime Cuts, but every month might be a little overkill....

As for Topps Tribute...that looks like a real cool product, but as KPit pointed out, it isn't going to be out in time for this month. I can't wait to see it though....

In again, but! not with four slots. I'll drop the Phillies i'm sure there's alot who'ed want them at the moment. Keeping the Blazers, Giants FB and Magic.

Think I've got the list updated. Teams dropped from last month are; Oilers(HKY), Titans, Phillies, and Islanders.

As for Prime Cuts, it won't be an every month thing so don't worry. Just thought it fit one more time but with Tribute coming out and some other possible high end options I'll probably look to do it about every 3 months which is about the usual rotation for some of the other big boxes we do.

thanks,

Chris, I'm going to have to drop my slot with the Pats. I only grabbed them last month as a one-off to help the group out.

Lightning have been removed and Patriots added to above availability list.

Hey hey everybody,

Would someone be interested in taking the Giants and Magic this month (and just this month) ??

Wait! Salvation is possibly possible! I'll wait on letting the Giants go untill later today. I hope no one's eyeing them too badly

Redickfan07 joins us as a new addition with the Eagles. Please welcome him to the group!

Welcome aboard Redickfan07

And Chris, luckily i can keep the Giants but i'm dumping the Magic. You shall receive payment for two slots shortly my good sir!

Thanks mark. The magic is now available and we still have 3 slots to fill. Payment should be in by Friday so expect to start the draft over the weekend!

Team availability list at the top of this page has been updated.

-Joe

Heads up to everyone that due to pricing of products I've had to make a small tweak to the product list and just do one box of 09 Limited FB. We were a good $70 over budget and most of it was on the FB portion. If we can squeeze another quick hitter in there I'll try but we need to fill these last 3 slots first!

Let's start getting payments in as with the early break date they are due this Thursday (2 days from now!)

Payment sent.

payment sent

Payment (finally) sent for the Blazers and Giants. Sorry about the delay Chris..

Per our previous conversation, you'll have my payment first thing tomorrow morning Chris.

-Joe

Payment Sent

I will be sending over payment this evening

Thanks

well it appears UD has depleted all it's alexander radulov rc auto patch /99 cards (06/07 the cup-oct. multi-sport break redemption) ...it'll be interesting to see what they replace it with

That actually could be a good thing? Keep us posted.

payment sent for my 2 spots.

Let's get those last payments in so we can start the draft this weekend! We still have 3 slots to fill...if two sell I'll take the last slot myself. Otherwise we'll need to look at taking out a box.

Also, I have had to bump this break up a night as I just found out I have to go out of town Sunday morning so we'll need to hold the break Saturday Nov 21st at 7pm(ct). I hope that works for people?

sat find with me chris

mike

they did ask me to name several teams i'm interested in (any sport) so i'm hoping for some p.c. mojo...the radulov would've been ebay or trade fodder...unless it had a nasty patch. i have a weakness for pretty things...

payment sent for the lightning.

thanks,

doug

Saturday is fine by me, as it means i can watch the break because of it being sunday the next day instead of monday

Since we still have 3 spot to fill and I would hate to lose a box on the list because we cant fill all the spots I am willing to make the Capitals or the Blackhawks avaliable. The catch is you would have to buy one of the last 3 spots also along with the Capitals or the Blackahawks. I know dcrandall was looking to get in if the Blackahwks or Capitals became avaliable. Well here is your chance! Let me know so I can get payment in right away today. I just need to know if I will be paying for 3 teams or 4.

Thanks

I PM'ed DCRandall to let him know about Adub's generous offer.

Payment has been sent for Lakers, Dodgers and Cardinals (BB).

I really can't afford another spot, but am looking over the available teams closely. I may grab a fourth team to help the group if there is a team out there I really like, but I would prefer not to since money is tight.

I will take the Capitals
Thanks all for the heads up

Edit: Oh sorry the deal was I have to take two spots, then I will have to pass.

Payment sent for the Cowboys, Falcons, Blackhawks and Capitals

Thanks
