SCU Breaks is Back! 3 Boxes of 2009 Limited Football – FULL

Posted on by

SCU Breaks has been on hiatus for a while, but it is back and better than ever with 3 Boxes of 2009 Leaf Limited Football! Previous breaks have netted us some MAJOR pulls, and I think it is a cool little perk to get you guys a new way to get involved in the site.

I would especially like to thank to Chris at Blowoutcards, because he has offered a special price for us, thus making this even more of an affordable and fun experience for those who join. In addition to my thanks for their sponsorship of this break, I would encourage you to go check out their amazing prices over at Blowoutcards.com.
The way this will work is you will pay a flat fee via paypal for two random teams, which will be assigned via random.org. For the two teams you get, you will receive all the cards and hits that we pull in the boxes broken. That means that if you are drawn the Jets and Lions, all those cards will be coming your way. For all dual team cards, I will have a random drawing for those involved. Cards go to player’s team pictured ON THAT CARD. Vikings Favre goes to Vikings, Packers Favre goes to Packers. Questions on rules can be posted below, or search SCU Breaks at the top of the page.
PAYMENT: Please send all payments to gellmana@gmail.com via paypal, no checks or MOs accepted, USA readers only without contact first. I will not be participating in this break, and will perform all randoms and box breaks via youtube. Your spot is not confirmed until payment is sent.
Each two team slot is $16 to cover shipping, paypal fees and supplies. You may purchase multiple slots, but the max per person is 3, unless we are unable to fill this break. Slots and owners are listed below, box will be ordered the day the break is filled.
Slots:
1. Frank (PAID)
2. Jason (PAID)
3. Jeff NCS (PAID)
4. Arfmax (PAID)
5. Voluntarheel (PAID)
6. Voluntarheel (PAID)
7. Chuck (PAID)
8. Captain C (PAID)
9. TJ (PAID)
10. Bobby (PAID)
11. Bobby (PAID)
12. Erik I (PAID)
13. Erik I (PAID)
14. Albert (PAID)
15. Albert (PAID)
16. Chad (PAID)
Teams may be traded up until the day of the break, a trading post will be posted as soon as random is done. Slots are first come first serve, and fill quickly, so be on your toes. I will do my best to update as soon as I get payment.
More of these will be coming depending on the success of this break, so be sure to stay tuned to this site, as well as SCU on Twitter, for the most up to date info. Blowout is also known for posting some great twitter specials on their page, and I would follow them ASAP.
