SCU Breaks: May Box Busters Edition

Well it was an interesting break. Can’t say it was the greatest, but also can’t say it was the worst. This month gave us our 3rd ever “1 of 1” auto (and a Viking to boot) so that is good, but no big name autos and marginal star patches abounded.

***SPECIAL NEWS: June Box Buster’s Club will be my last break at SCU for a good bit of time. I am switching jobs and will be occupied with my new position taking up most of my time. I hope to participate in the breaks that happen here on SCU but I just don’t have time to run them monthly anymore. If you are interested in possibly taking over please contact Gellman.***

Team Randomization Assingments

Alright guys, I am going to list the 3 options for time stamps. Comment away at your choice, if you are the first one to comment and are participating in the break you determine which assignment we have. I have to run to the store so I won’t be able to approve comments and post up the screen shot along with uploaded video until later tonight. I know the anticipation stinks. Once the team assignments are up you are free to trade until Tuesday evening at 5 p.m. I will be doing the break late that night and will be posting it up so it is available on Wednesday morning. Best of luck. Here are the options:

(1) 2009-05-02 01:54:33 UTC

(2) 2009-05-02 01:55:06 UTC

(3) 2009-05-02 01:55:16 UTC

Choose away. Slot #3 was chosen. After I upload the video I will drop it at the end of this post. Here is the screen shot:

Monthly Box Break Club: May Flowers (FULL)

Alright folks, I know that it seems like we are dwelling in 2007 Product because of my fascination with it having the best Viking rookie of all-time. While that fact is true (it containing the best Viking rookie player of all-time), the real reason that we continue to have 07 products is because it right now has the best prices in order for us to maximize the possibilities of people getting nice cards. 2008 is still at a high price and probably could remain there because of Flacco and Ryan. Well to make a long story short we are back with some 07 product, but as usual a product that also has autos/material cards of past star players in order to at least get some nice cards outside the now shrinking 07 Rookie Class.

We will continue the **Bonus** part of the break in order for everyone to get something out of the break. Here are the details of the product for this month.

(3) boxes of 2007 Upper Deck Premier Football (each box/pack containing 3 material and 3 autos).

***ADDED BONUS: Those teams owned that do not get a hit will get (1) pack of 2008 SP Authentic Football. I will do the same thing as last month in terms of assigning those packs and opening any unclaimed packs and passing along any hits to break teams as usual***

###- As a new feature I am trying something new for the randomization. On the night I am to do the randomization I will do the video tape but also take a screenshot of each of the three results. Then before posting the results of the video, I will post the time stamps for each step of the randomization and the first person from the break to post will choose which step of the random progression they want and that will be the assignments. Even though I know this has never been an issue I believe this is the best scenario for making something as transparent and trustworthy as possible -###

(1) (3) Boxes of 2007 Upper Deck Premier (w/added bonus of 08 SPA packs distributed as described above)
(2) $15 per slot
(3) Slot = 1 random team (assigned via video of random.org)
(4) Payments sent to: justin.halbersma@gmail.com (via paypal)—**Make sure to include address and handle/screenname**
(5) Until May 1st only those people listed below should send payment. On May 1st (or before if someone says they are passing) slots can be paid for on a first come, first served basis.
(6) Once break is completely full, teams will be assigned and can be traded the next two days between participants.
(7) Break as usual will be videotaped and posted on here and youtube (and as usual everything is done on camera from opening boxes to pack to showing cards)

Update: April Box Buster’s Club

So slowly the results are trickling in. There should be 4 hits out there to those who received the random Threads packs for slots that did not get anything from the National Treasures.

So far 3 have been reported. Meaning there is 1 more out there (unless it was a hot box and that means there could be more).

Here are the results so far:

HCC- Curtis Lofton Auto /299
Voluntarheel- Danny White GU Jersey (Century Legends)

and Bdavid got this beauty:

One more hit is out there.

****UPDATE**** I think we had a hot box folks. So far here are the results

Lofton Auto
Ryan Auto
White Jersey
Mendenhall Jersey
Edwards Jersey
