It's time to roll out the next big product which is 2011 National Treasures! We will run this break the same as we did last year which is to run a two case break. Please confirm your teams as soon as possible and remember that you can retain your team going forward with Exquisite next and then 2012 products to follow so you may want to keep an eye on the draft board for nice pick ups. Also obviously NT is loaded with vet hits so some available teams are looking pretty good!.

Team assignments below are taken from our most recent case break group so please let me know if you are adding, dropping, or changing teams.

I'll pick up the Seahawks. Thanx!

I am in for the ravens and broncos and can I please take a draft spot.
Thanks
Chris

In with the Lions.

In with the TITANS!

I know it's a long shot, interested in the 49ers if they open up.

I am in with the Colts. Thanks

Packers back to Faulkrules.

Bears please

confirmed with alll my teams

Draft spot please.

Added the changes. Just a heads up that with the Bills, Bucs, and Texans available...if we can fill one more slot (and everyone who is currently in stays in) we can add a 9th 11NT box to the list!

Payments due next week folks...let's start getting those in please!

Sorry, my transfer will post on 30 mar

DITTO...

Payment mailed out today

Whoops....just saw this thread. I'm in with the Rams.

Will schedule payment today to arrive in 5 business days.

Payment sent and set to be there on the 30th. Thanks

Hey Chris, I'll grab the last draft spot if no one wants to pick up one of the leftover teams.

Paid $$$

Payment sent

PAYMENT SEND 03/30 ...SHOULD ARRIVE BY 04/05

Sorry for the delay...payment has been sent!

I haven't heard from Jkrock20 yet so just in case I am looking for any interested parties in taking the Raiders or Eagles (I already have a taker for the Steelers). Again, this can't be confirmed yet but just looking for a back up plan for anyone interested.

I'll cover the Raiders if need be.

Any draft slots left? I'll grab one if available.

If Jkrock20 is in or if all his teams get covered then we're full but I'll put you on the waiting list in case we have the opening. Thanks Bob.

Dibs on Redskins if Frankie decides to drop them!

If for any reason a draft spot becomes available I would like to put myself for in for it.

Really looking forward to busting this product as the cards I have seen with their new designs look pretty nice!

Payment sent. Give it time to clear.

We can't wait any longer so deadline for unpaid teams is tonight. I have emailed EMT a couple times and haven't heard back so his teams are in jeapordy. If I don't hear back I will be claiming the Broncos but the Ravens will be open.

Here's what I have for back-ups;

Broncos - Me
Raiders - BobKoning
Steelers - Yzerisdaman

Looking for a taker;
Ravens
Eagles

Looks like we're good to hold the break Friday night so we'll need to hold the draft starting tonight at 9pm(ct). Depending on takers for the Ravens and Eagles we may be in need of one more draft slot taker. Deantap would be in and while KPit1978 offered to take a 2nd I prefer to only give one draft slot per team held. If no takers then KPit will get the final draft slot (if needed). Hope that all makes sense! Also, it looks like we won't cover the extra box of 11NT so I'll have to wait to see how much we have left over to see what else we can add. Good chance the extra product will have to be done later as I don't know what to order if I don't know the budget.

I will take the last draft spot if you need someone.

Just heard from EMT and he is still in so the Broncos and Ravens are covered. Just looking for a taker on the Eagles and we should be able to start the draft. If no takers by tonight then we'll add the 4th draft spot in Deantap and we'll start the draft right away.

Ok folks...never heard back from Jkrock20 so BobKoning gets the Raiders and Yzerisdaman gets the Steelers. The Eagles are placed in the unclaimed team pool which allows Deantap to enter the draft. We're set to draft.

On the clock: BobKoning
On-deck: KPit1978

Draft Order:
1. BobKoning
2. KPit1978
3. EMTinHawaii
4. Deantap

Available Teams:
Bills
Bucs
Eagles
Texans

Sorry guys.... The Eagles threw a wrench in my plans, but after a long deliberation, I'll draft the BILLS.

With proxies in from the next 2 this is a quick draft. Final results below and the break is set for Friday. I'm hoping for 9pm(ct) but there may be a wrench in the plans that could bump it back an hour or so but I should know by tomorrow night on that. Good luck all!


Draft Order:
1. BobKoning - Bills
2. KPit1978 - Eagles
3. EMTinHawaii - Bucs
4. Deantap - Texans

Payment sent ($160) for the Raiders and my draft spot. Thanks!

Just getting this out now...I am picking up the Buccaneers for the next product (Exquisite) which I hope to have posted soon. Any other unclaimed teams can be claimed at any time if you want to roll the dice on the draft as these teams roll over to 2012 products as they come out!

All the mocks I've seen say its about 65/35 their pick is Trent Richardson which I assume you are hoping LOL! I've been giving them some thought in other breaks with Trent in mind myself. Could be a huge get on your part!

Yep, the team that may mess up that plan is the Browns but Blackmon could be the guy for them.

Bwaggy is taking over the Vikings on loan for this one. We ended up with about $260 extra in funds which is not enough for any NT box and because I didn't know how much we'd have I wasn't able to order a product yet. I will order tomorrow when weekend prices hit and I'll get 1 or 2 2011 products on the higher end if possible. Any suggestions?

Triple Threads could be a decent filler...

Blowout has Plates & Patches going for just $119 (down from $150). IMO thats a good get at that price. They list just 3 remaining at that price though. Also, they have Absolute currently selling for $122.

WOW! the cards hittin' the bay are absolutely sic! Finally a high-end product that doesn't cheat consumers on the patches!

Cam's are selling for $3,000+ yowza!!

I'd like to see Playbook if it is out anytime soon!!!

Hello - I am running late as my flight is still in Chicago. I hope to do the break at 9:45pm cst. Sorry for the delay.

Chris

Hey guys, I asked my wife to post that for me as I was stuck in Chicago. Just got in the door and will get going in about 10 minutes or so. Sorry again about the delay!
