Welcome to Batman1641's monthly football break.
Have you ever want to join a box break club and your favorite team is never available? Been there, done that. Well this is your chance to join and pick your team favorite. A couple of friends and I decided to start are own box break club because of the limited good teams available.Now lets take a look at the club rules:
(These rules may seem similar to another clubs rules, its just what my friends and I agreed upon)
All money collected will go to the break. I will pay for the shipping of all cards.
1. $20 a team, $20 for any additional team.
2. Club members will give input on what boxes to purchase.
3. Videos will be made of each box break and will be broadcast LIVE on UStream.
4. Team owners have first choice to either hold on to their team or choose an unclaimed team for the following month.
5. If a member does not reclaim their team(s) and does not participate in the break the following month, then their team(s) will be forfeited that month.
Our objective is to make all our club members happy. We want to make sure we send everyone a hit or two. Hits are classified as Game Used, Autographs, Printing Plates, serial numbered cards, refractors of all sorts, and redemptions. So, box preference is crucial. I will try to mix it up with at least 1 high end box, several middle to low end boxes, and 1 rookies box.
Rules for cards from unclaimed teams:
1. Hits from these teams will be randomly distributed to members by pulling names out of a hat and will be done live on the forum.
2. Claiming more than one team does increase your odds of winning.
3. Once you have been awarded an unclaimed hit, your name will be removed from the drawing (unless you have claimed more than 1 team).
4. If there are more unclaimed hits than members/claimed teams, then there will be a second round of drawings.
More deciding rules:
1. Cards with multiple teams represented will be decided by random.org between the owners of the teams on the card.
2. Cards with a player that is wearing a different jersey than what card says goes to team depicted on JERSEY, not by card.
There you go. Thats bout it. If there are any changes or additions in the rules, they will be posted here on the thread. I will always take suggestions.
Also There will be monthly giveaways. During the break on Ustream and sometime throughout the month.

OK everyone time to verify. As the title says this is for Nov/Dec. I don't want to have a December break because of Christmas time and I know money is tight everywhere. ALot of you guys have sent PMs saying you want to get National Tresure or Exquisite. So I have decided to raise the price come January for the b reak from $20 to $25. This would add another $125-$150 to the break thus allowing us to get one of the bigger boxes and at least 4 boxes of something else. PLease let me know what you think.

ALmost forgot. Because this is holiday break. I will not be posting any box options. You are going to have to trust me this month. That way it's a surprise.

Nov 15 2009, 07:09 PM
I'm back with my 2 teams. I don't know if I trust you with the boxes. You will probably pick something like 91 Score! Raising it by $5/ team isn't a bad idea if we get better boxes. I hope everyone stays for it.

I'm in with my teams.
Once again, if someone new wants to join & would like either the Rams or the Redskins (but not both), I would be willing to give one up.
As for the price increase, no problem on this end.
However, $25 per team yields about $800 for the break.
If a box of Exquisite is added (at around $500 or so, I know the price fluctuates), that eats up too high a percentage, in my opinion.
From what I have seen in box breaks on TCC, as well as youtube videos, Exquisite if HIGHLY overpriced. There is usually one good "lottery" card per 3 box case, & the rest don't hold any value.
NT is at least more cost-effective, especially if a good deal can be had (like what's happening with 2006 right now)
If we kick up the quality, I personally would like to see NT, or an additional Premier box.

I agree(Man we think alike that's scary) I like NAtional Treasure alot. The 09 Nat Treasure comes out the last wek of January with a price about $419 right now. I haven't checked into the other years yet.

Of course you can have the browns again. And your cards from last month were sent out today.

I am in with both teams. Would rather see more middle range boxes than the high end. Rookies and stars boxes and threads have been very good last year and this year. 06 NT is good. Exquisite is just not worth the moeny. Houston for trade if any one wants them.

This year's Certified has been a nice product as well.

I'm in again. I'm for any product that gives out Jets mojo. Been shut out for a few months, except for Dustin Keller, who didn't pop up for some reason. I think I used up my mojo the first month with that Namath. I like NT as well.

Hey everyone just a reminder that payment is due tomorrow. And here is our 2nd contest of the month. This one is a little different.
The Chargers just named their 50th anniversary team. Who are the 4 QBs that were voted to that team?
Everyone can win on this one. I will give you a hint about 1. My favorite Charger QB wore the number 12 and played from 92-97 for the Chargers.
