Thanks Bill for giving me this chance to host the Box Break for February live from Motown!
I will pm confirmed members for addresses I don't have when the time comes!

In. Can I add Philadelphia?

In

Got ya Kirk and Rob, Thanks

@Rob - Will that be a extra slot for the Flyers?

Added a 3rd slot for Rob for the Flyers for now, just let us know if you only want two slots and if so which team is being dropped. Thanks.

Am I allowed only two max? I would like all three.

in with leafs and add oilers for me so i taking leafs and oilers

In

Payment sent.

Thanks for hosting Paul.

No problem Bill

Payment received, Thanks

No you can have three. Just wanted to make sure as I don't recall ever having someone own 3 teams.

Added you with the Oilers.


Got you down Brian

I'm new to hockey and my allegiance has not been set. I added the Flyers because the colors remind me of the Bengals.

Anyone else want to check in??

Also looking for thoughts on products? Checking around it looks like there are not too many new hockey products out there. Here are the ones I found:

12/13 UD S1 $63 2 hits 6 rcs
12/13 Black Diamond $87 2 hits 3-4 rcs
12/13 Artifacts $90 4 hits 2 rcs
12/13 SPGU $121 5 hits ? rcs
12/13 Classic Signatures $130 6 hits 0 rcs

Does anyone have an interest in these products?

I would not mind either SPGU or Classic Sigs, although leaning more towards SPGU as it features current players and more teams for hits.

Post what you like, plan on putting some groups together once we have everyone checked in, so I know our budget.

In with my Bruins.

Got you down, no just need Drast and CHF to check in.

in with the rangers

Just waiting on CHF! Wheres mark at?

Maybe the monkey finally got him??? or he has fallen under his Ultimate collection and can't get up?

Anyone have any interest in breaking any of these products?

I am interested in SPGU, don't care about BD, could live with S1 if we do it, same with Classics & Artifacts.

Anyone??

I like SPGU and Artifacts ,not sure on the Classic Signatures!

S1 and Artifacts are OK by me and possibly Classic Sigs but not sure about the other two.

Thanks for the replies so far.

UDS1 went down in price and Classic Signatures went up at DA

That happens, probably went on or off of sale.

Oh where oh where can Mark be, oh where oh where can he be???

is ud retro out yet seen a ad on it

i like sigs the rest not that keen on

Didn't see the ad for UD Retro, didn't even see it listed on sites. Will take a look for this.

Also, Dwight pointed out that an agreement by the NHLPA means that no new rookies will be included in 12-13 products, so no Yakapov, etc. That stinks and will kill the remaining products for this year.

Thanks for your vote Mike.

I looked into the Retro and basically it sounds like it is releasing in April, the big drawback for doing this for the group is the projected price range of $300-400 per box.

Here is some information I found on Beckett:
http://www.beckett.com/news/2013/01/first-...r-retro-hockey/

I am figuring Mark is in, so I will try to put some groupings together later this week. If anyone has ideas or favoured boxes please post thoughts. Thanks.

payment sent

Received payment Mike, Thanks!

My son got my video camera working so I will be doing some test runs on Blog TV this weekend.

Second, shipping cost has went up, and Bill and Brian are working to figure it out but till next month I will cover shipping materials to make up the cost to keep thing's the same this month, sound good?

Paul,

I'll get my payment in Monday or Tuesday (Feb 4 or 5). Recharging Paypal didn't realize I was almost on empty.

Can you recharge mine too, mine is empty.

No problem Kirk, payments due on the 10th

Um OK but it will cost ya.

In

Sorry about the delay, we had a money thing to straighten out, hence the wait

Brian, sadly my Ultimate Collection collection isnt heavy enough for me to get stuck under.. yet

So you are saying it was the monkey????

Starting to look for payments. Will put up some box options shortly.

Not bad with free shipping, just makes it more complicated for you guys to get free shipping on ones to add to it:

Ebay

Not a bad price, I might be able to do it if IRS Wheres my refund is right on getting my refund on Thursday, I can pick myself something off DA with the order.

Double D +1

Hard to say no to a 18 hits and 12 Rc Box Break, better odds for the group.
Take D!
