SCU Breaks: Exquisite Box Break

As I said before, I am putting the club on hold for now while things get back into order around here.

However, that doesnt mean we wont be able to have a little fun. Im going to try something a little different, hopefully we can fill this up.

Here is the idea:

1) Every one who pays for a spot gets one team via random drawing and one team that they choose on a first come first serve basis. To avoid the easy choices, Ravens and Falcons will not be among the teams you can choose for yourself. Any other team is up for grabs, choose your favorite.

2) Once we have all sixteen spots filled, ill random off the remaining teams.

3) You will receive all cards from both teams that you end up with, I will break the box on here for all to see. Random video will also be posted.

4) Multi team cards will be randomed

5) send payment to gellmana@gmail.com through paypal

This should help to move away from the luck of the draw for at least one of the teams you will get, but also give you a little more help with your “investment.”

Cost will be $33.00 for 2 teams, which includes box fees, shipping fees both ways (if necessary), paypal fees, and supplies for shipping.

Remember before you join: RAVENS AND FALCONS ARE OFF LIMITS

SPA Pack Results and a Group Break Pimp

Hey everyone, I have been meaning to do this for a day now, but here is the official post to comment letting us know the results of your random packs if you got them. So far 3 people have commented their results in the original post and there should be 1 auto (usually a rookie auto or chirography of a vet) and the 1 material card auto (rookie patch auto or numbers auto, etc.) out there for sure. ***UPDATE: MATERIAL AUTO WAS OPENED BY GROAT….and it was a “bummer”***

voluntarheel = base
bobby = base
thomas = base
psad21 = base
whitesoxcat = base
darkship = base
groat = Marc Bulger Retro Rookie Auto/Jersey (see comments for link)

Also, one of the people who may possibly like to continue the monthly box buster’s club after I am done next month is I Am Joe Collector. Currently he is doing sign-ups on his blog for a case (10 tins) of 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Football (and also baseball). It is at a good price ($18.50) and could yield some sweet cards, so go check it out here and sign-up.

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:
