I Still In

Mike

im in again

whens payment due

I will send a pm when we have that figured out. Matt and Bill cannot break this month, so I am currently seeing if another member will break.

Sorry guys but me and krista are out... gotta start looking for our own place and need to be saving money, hope you guys have a good month!!

Gonna throw some box options out here, but if anyone else has any ideas please add them.

A.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 ITG Pipes $ 90 (1 gu, 1 au)
Total $299 (3 gu, 5 au)

B.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 SPx $ 91 (2 gu, 1 au/gu)
Total $300 (4 gu, 5 au)

C.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
08-09 Black Diam. $ 63 (2 gu, 1 au every other box)
06-07 BAP $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $330 (4 gu, 12-13 autos)

D.
08-09 Champs $109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $100 (3au)
06-07 Hot Prospects $ 57 (2 gu, 1 au patch)
06-07 BAP $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $324 (4 gu, 13 au)

I am pretty sure most of us would like to open Champs and SPA, but please voice your opinion if you want something different. On Champs my box was short, but I opened a second box and it had 4 au, 1 gu, and the guy next to me got 2 au, 2 gu from his box, so we could end up over or short on that product since the boxes have not been following the odds.

Sorry to hear that both of you are leaving the group. Good Luck with your savings and as we told Steve, some things are more important than cardboard. Thanks again for all of your help over the last few months with the group.

I'll take a slot (Rangers). I like option D.

Brian,

Put me on the waiting list or if spot open go with Dallas (not sure that I can afford it, but sounds like I may be breaking anyway so save some postage).


Dwight

If Dwight does end up hosting and a slot is not available, I insist we do the following...

My slot would automatically take the Dallas Stars as my second team (I would not draft as a result). Any and all Dallas Stars cards would go to Dwight. If he does the hard work, he should get a chance at hits along with the rest of his

Now if we end have an open slot, I will pay cover Dwight's slot as a whole, and both of us will get drafted teams as usual.

Oh, and Brian I am in for the month.

-Bill

I'm in again.

I'm in for both my teams....

I like D

Mike

I'm in too and like D.

Mike

I'm in again...

If no one else wants to break I can break. I like ripping boxes and packs

I like option C or D

I'm back for more.

I like B and D. Definitely want Champs and SPA, the rest is really just gravy.

I know I'm out so my vote probably means nothing but I would say D and that Derrick should break so you can get some curtain action for Ribeiro since he'll probably bust at my place

Also may I just say that I'm OFFICIALLY loving SPA this year! I buy tons of packs of it last year to get absolute garbage and today I try one pack of 08-09 since it's looked great and out of that one pack I pulled an Oshie SOTT
Needless to say, GO WITH SPA!

Good luck guys!


Steve

I really would like to see SPx be left out. I don't like this years SPx, I think it looks horrible, with the exception of the base cards. Please no SPx

Derrick, I only put the SPx in to give us some different box options. Not big on options A or B due to the amount of hits, but wanted to give some choices with only 08-9 products.

C or D if I had to choose

That's understandable Brian, I see where you are coming from. I'm gonna have to vote for option D

Also - What about my request to break? If I can't thats fine.

Matty isn't hosting again?

Mike

I'm out. Thanks for letting me joinfor a month & please put me back on the waiting list. I will re-join once I get myself sorted( just started back in work & have a lot of extra expenditure coming up)

Unfortunately, Matt and Krista both decided to leave the group as they are trying to find a new home.

OK thanks and hope to see you next month.

Available Teams:
<snip>
Carolina Panthers
<snip>

Shouldn't that be the hurricanes?

Yeah, sorry after the weekend the Pens had against those two teams I got all goofed up.

It did not help they have that football team.

Sheesh Brian I can't leave the group for even one month before you start getting sports mixed up? What's this group coming to

Steve

Brian was hoping to transition this to a football break so he could finally have a Pittsburgh team.

Brian - Any update on who is going to be breaking?

We have one open slot this month, if you know anyone who would be interested let me know. Thanks.

On that note...

Brian,

I'm back for another month and will stick with the Penguins.

It looks to me like choice D is going to be the winner lol

Gosh I wish I wasn't saving for college Hopefully Derrick is able to break this month so I can "assist"


Steve

Everyone, this month Derrick is going to be breaking for us, with the assistance of Steve aka TMacfreak91. Look out for the Ribiero curtains.

One of us will be sending a pm shortly concerning which paypal account to send your payments to.

In the meantime, I looked at Blowout cards for the items in Option D and found they were about $21 cheaper:

D.
08-09 Champs $102 vs 109 (2 gu, 1 au)
08-09 SP Authentic $92 vs $100 (3au)
06-07 Hot Prospects $ 54 vs $ 57 (2 gu, 1 au patch)
06-07 BAP $ 55 vs $ 58 (8 autos)
Total $303 vs $324 (4 gu, 13 au)

I would suggest we use them if their prices do not go up by the time we receive enough payments, or unless Derrick or another member knows of someone cheaper.

Brian - Lets just go with blowoutcards since they are cheaper. Unless someone else finds a cheaper site or shop

If we don't find someone to take the slot I'd be able to take an extra slot this month.

Mike that sounds fine with me. The people I have pm'ed have either not replied or cannot do it this month. I can keep trying if you really do not want to take an extra slot this month. Either way works for me just lmk.

I am good with that, but suggest we double check pricing once enough payments are in to order, just in case DA lowers prices or Blowout raises theirs.

Payment sent for myself and sahetu.
