Price:
Picks 1 & 7 ($95)
Picks 2 & 6 ($70)
Pick 3 ($40)
Pick 4 ($25)
Pick 5 ($10)

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. This is the last box I have in stock. I can get more, but the price per pick may go up depending on price break I can get on more boxes.

It's a random draw for picks like all the other group breaks...

picks 1 and 7, is it $95 cause you have better odds to get something big?

First name gets pick 1 & 7, second name gets pick 2 & 6, and so forth...

I thought that meant that the first name who replies gets 1/7 and so forth

Well, first pick is always the most because you get your choice of all the cards. Picks 6 and 7 are more likely going to be the two base cards...

First name gets pick 1 & 7, second name gets pick 2 & 6, and so forth...

I thought that meant that the first name who replies gets 1/7 and so forth

Yeah, I posted that so everyone understood how the selection process would work once the names were drawn at random...

so how much is it to buy a pick? does everybody pay the same amount and then you draw for random picks?

Enigma
06-26-2008, 04:00 PM
No...Five people agree to be a part of the break. Once we get people in on the break, I will randomly draw names (random . org) and the first name listed from the random draw gets the first pick and would pay the $95, second name gets the second pick and would pay $70, etc. But before the picks are locked, there's a 24 hour window to trade up or down if you want to. For instance, PacersPwn normally does not want the higher picks, so say he gets #1. Well, he might want to trade down to #4 and can do so within the 24 hour time frame if the member at #4 wants to move up to #1.

Enigma

That would leave 1 spot still...how about I get the box and you two split the break this way...

Picks 1, 4, 5
Picks 2, 3, 6

And we donate the base card to the card cash store...

Thoughts?

Break is complete... I have the video done and will upload it, but I don't see the need to make you both wait. As a heads up, there was two base cards, so I'm going to combine them together as one pick.

Anyhow, here's the scans:

The Michael Ray auto 10/10 looks like it has damage all around the edges as well as the Noah Dual around the top left corner. is the auto supposed to be like that or is it just the photo

Enigma
08-22-2008, 02:44 PM
Yeah...looking at them closely, it looks like there is some edge wear on both...more so on the Auto. Almost looks like a different cardboard stock was used...

#15Vince Carter
08-22-2008, 02:48 PM
Is the Rookie Redmption gonna be an auto or just a rc?

Enigma
08-22-2008, 02:51 PM
It doesn't say one way or another on the card. I am assuming it will just be a rookie card, but I have no clue...
