Prices:

Pick 1 & 7 - Pheebs888 - PAID

Pick 4 - quiet-things - PAID
Pick 5 - Memento21 - PAID

This group break will be conducted using a draft. That means, once we get five people wanting to be on this break, I will enter all names into a randomizer and it will pick the draft order. First name gets pick 1 & 7, second name gets pick 2 & 6, and so forth...

Once the list is created, members can then trade their spot to another member over the next 24 hours. After that time has passed, all members are locked into their pick position. Once you post interest in the break, you cannot back out because you are not happy with the pick you end up.

Once the picks are locked, I will proceed with the break. Hopefully, I can do it via video break. I will post the break here, along with scans if necessary.

To get in on this group break, you just need to reply to this thread stating that you are in. Remember, only the first five getting in can participate.

Good luck and if this works out, I'll look to see if we can do more in the future.

Well some people are all about the UD glitz, i like the ITG style and i dont see the nameplates grey border as bad looking at all. Its sombre not flashy but that means it doesnt take the focus away from the actual letter. It works very well for me

Please don't post the list of cards before you post the video. I don't want the surprise to be spoiled. Depending on how lucky you are, you might have another customer for the second ITG break (althouh it looks expensive)!

Pheebs888
05-01-2008, 10:14 AM
Yeah i second that i wanna see the video first def.! you gonna post the video here or in the break forum Tony?

Enigma
05-01-2008, 10:51 AM
Yeah...videos are fairly large in size normally. You have to upload it to YouTube and then they convert it. It's the upload that takes up most of the time.

Pheebs888
05-01-2008, 10:52 AM
and where are you up to tony progress wise? We're all gonna pass out with high blood pressure because of excitement lol

Enigma
05-01-2008, 10:59 AM
YouTube doesn't give a percentage of how much is uploaded. It just tells you that you will see a message when it is complete. For a point of reference, I did a 10 minutes video break and it took around 2 hours to upload. This one was 6-7 minutes, so I figure around 1 hour and 15 minutes or so upload time...

Pheebs888
05-01-2008, 11:01 AM
lol I c...ok i am going to pop out for half hour and come back then...thanks Tony

I know I didn't buy into this break, but I have to second this sentiment. This seems perfect for expensive boxes and with there being 7 cards in this one it was a great way to split it. Will this happen for other high end releases? Sweet Shot? OPC premier? Ultimate? Only time... and Enigma... will tell

(Great choices everyone! - This was a great box)
