Alright, stating now. Will do one pack at a time.

8 packs per box, 4 cards per pack.

did you see what i wrote in the other?

Pack 1
Anastasia Radinova Autograph
Cara Black/Liezel Huber Dual Autograph Silver
John Newcombe Jersey
Svetlana Kuznetsova US Open Memories Insert

Also, basic autos and jerseys are bronze. Silver are not numbered, but they are SP'ed to 49.

Pack 2

Aljosha Thron Autograph
Stan Smith Autograph
Tracy Austin Jersey (minor ding on bottom left corner)
Rafael Nadal US Open Memories Insert

Pack 3
Arvane Rezai Autograph Silver
Mikhail Youzhny Autograph (terrible sig)
Ana Ivanovic Jersey
Martina Navratilova insert

crappy so far!

Pack 4
Monique Adamczak Autograph (faded sig)
Rafael Nadal Autograph (there's the first major hit!)
Richard Gasquest Jersey Silver
Ricardas Berankis/Roger Federer Insert

I usually get 2-3 nice hits per box. Nadal is our first one. Nadal sells alone for $50+ after his GS wins.

well here's to hoping u get at least 3 hits ..lol

Pack 5

Eric Butorac Autograph
John Newcombe Autograph (nice auto of a legend)
Nadia Petrova Jersey
Novak Djokovic Insert

Pack 6

Nicole Pratt Autograph
Nadia Petrova Autograph
Roger Federer Jersey
Martina Navratilova Insert

Pack 7

Anastasia Radionova Autograph Platinum 1/1!!!
Murphy Jensen/Luke Jensen Dual Autograph
Maria Sharapova Jersey (nice sell for around $10 alone)
Martina Navratilova Jersey Silver SP to 49!

We got an extra hit in that pack. :thumb:

well man, ill tell yah, that makes the first pick pretty tough- nadal, or the 1/1...

i'd still take the nadal. just my opinion. i have the 4th pick so not trying to steal the 1/1

and that makes the second pick so much easier....lol.

Pack 8 and last pack

Emma Laine Autograph
Andy Roddick/Roger Federer Dual Jersey
Jennifer Capriati Jersey
John Newcombe Insert

That's a wrap. Not too bad. Several star jersey hits. Two super duper autographs.

Give me a few minutes to type out the list of cards and any condition problems. Scans won't be up until tonight though.

are there any two color jsys?

jk, usually in tennis there wouldn't be

There are usually 1-2 Gold /24 cards per box, but looks like the 1/1 took its place.

any way i can get the nadal?

are there any two color jsys?

I haven't seen one. Some have stitchings though.

do we wait for the pics to come for the draft or do we start now?

palantri u know which ur choosing?

ok, im not totally sold on the first pick, so i will entertain offers, either cash or picks, for anyone who wants to move up

palantri has first pick. I won't officially start the draft until I have scans up, but he can choose to start it if he wants. You guys can start negotiating pick trades.

Typing the list now...

u know what.. the huber /black auto should be very nice to.. it was numbered to #49 .. and a short print... which short print in any sport means good value!!!!

palantri: I will trade you a dual jsy of sharapova and kournikova for the first pick

whats fair for it palantri?? id take it ..

looking for a nicer offer than that- id need a solid auto to even think about moving out of the first place
Ed

nadaeu.. any idea what ur doin? id take the 2nd pick too ..if u want to trade it? or sell it?

wishing you hit an ivanovic or sharapova auto, that would make this real easy...oh well

I'm sticking with the 2nd pick....either way, I get whichever one of the big two Ed doesn't want...best position to be in, IMO.

Not looking to trade, sorry guys.

hmm, should i be a jerk and wait for the scans?

hate to say it guys, but i may end up doing that, if the nadal auto is as ugly as the ones i saw on ebay, that may sway my decision...

ed.. how bout 6 out of 8 of my picks.. lets say i keep #3 .. and #7

Ed,

That's fine with me....I'm probably gonna wait for scans before I make any decisions past my first pick.

Besides, I'm not in this to resell them, I'm in it so I can start collecting Tennis stuff...so I wanna see them before I pick them for my collection!

im not sure there are enough cards im really hot on to give up the first pick and grab lower round picks...although mike ditka would be all over that trade, if you remember from the 99 nfl draft when he gave his entire draft selection for ricky williams

quick thanks out to Renegade for running this whole operation...

yea, thanks Renegade!!!!

thanks renegade

i need to get some $$ back.. theres really only one card id even consider in my PC.. that why i think i could pick it up w/ the #3 or #7 pick...

i just wanted to take part in my first group break.. i like tennis its not my fav thing though.. i do believe that since ur not sold on either.. ur tennis collection would get some good cards by doing a trade with me

Thanks Ed. The easy part is done now! lol

Personally, I would stay at the #1 pick. Nadal's stuff has been hot. But that 1/1 makes a run for the #1 spot. Ha.

Ok, the list is there but I still need to check cards for corners. I saw a couple with minor dingage.

yeah, im torn on the 1 pick. do i grab the nadal, which i dont really want, but can remake my entire box, or do i grab the 1/1, which i would keep?

decisions, decisions...

nadeau.. u sure u cant take all but picks 3,7, and 11 ..?? so ud get 5 for trade?? theres really nothing in here i want.. and the card i do want.. not sure its warranting a pick at #3 to gurantee it either..

Personally, from experience, I believe if you were to resell your hits on ebay, you would likely be able to make up all or a majority of your cost. I've had success with this.

Nah, I'm sticking with #2.

I like the Nadal and the 1/1....either would look sweet in my P/C, so I'm gonna stick there.

You guys are welcome.

Draft can start, but if you want to wait for scans I will have them up in a few hours. Gotta make dinner, eat it, then scan and upload these cards.

Thanks and good luck!

did u say the list is somewhere?

With the first pick in the 2008 draft, Palantri selects....


Rafael Nadal Autograph

On the first post, it's listed there.

so we know what nadeau is selecting.. right nadeau? although its only an upcoming player... not alot of value yet.. it would be my only 1/1 card if ud pass it to me somehow?

did u say the list is somewhere?

Yep, first post in this thread. Complete list there.

Pick #1 in the books!

With the 2nd pick, nadeau01_johnson48 selects....

Anastasia Radionova Autograph Platinum 1/1

what a surprise.. ren.. what do u think we be the most valuable next?

the dual sp sig of huber/black?

I'm not very familiar with them. I assume they are a top women's doubles players?

I know the Ivanovic, Sharapova, and Roddick/Federer dual jerseys can sell up to $10 on ebay.

Also, I will be posting each deal in the trade manager.

yea.. understand that.. they are the top doubles team.. and its short printed to 49..

First time I've pulled them so I have limited knowledge of their value. But it looks to be the next best auto available.

Gonna jet and take care of personal stuff. Remember, you have up to 24 hours from the previous pick to make your pick.

well.. im trying to think value.. im not sure the card i would want for my pc will last until next pick .. if u guys promise not to pick it ill hold off?

gonna be back tonight, or should i figure on a slow draft of the rest of the box over the next few days?
Ed

well.. im trying to think value.. im not sure the card i would want for my pc will last until next pick .. if u guys promise not to pick it ill hold off?

doesnt work like that, bud- just like a real draft. you grab what youre gonna grab, and then we react to that...
Ed

Ed,

I think the draft should go quick once the scans are up...

At least that's what I'm hoping....hoping it's done with by tonight.

I'll be on for pretty much the rest of the evening.

as will I- really looking forward to getting this done...just gotta see if my next pick lasts, but there are about 3 id take, so im not too worried

well.. if u arent willing to cooperate with me .. i think im goin to wait til the scans are up... and then ill think about it!

oh, im fine with that- im just not going to promise you i wont take a card, because if it ends up being the one i want, that doesnt do me any good

Who's not cooperating?

This is a draft. People don't say, "Hey, you pick that, then, we'll pass on something we like, so you can get the other one you want."

it doesn't work that way man.

sorry.. but like i said.. i just want to get my money back and that one card for my PC.. so i gotta run out for a bit anyway to pick something up b4 they close

nice break there guys! im not one for tennis, but i knew a bunch of the people pulled! plus i wanta subscribe to the thread because im getting some humor from the trading/potential trades

nice call on the box as well Ash! product sounds like a good one!

then start browsing ebay, and compare prices of stuff, should make it pretty easy for you to pick
Ed

who wants the roddick/fed jsy?

its on my list of a few to pick, if it gets to me

Same here...it's a possibility, depending on what else is left.

Hey is it ok if I go eat. I would be back in about 20-30 min

yeah, the guy whos running the draft left for a while, so nows a good time, especially since the other guy hasnt made his decision yet
Ed

back. Did I miss anything

nyet- the other guy isnt sure what he wants, or is waiting for scans, not quite sure which.

I have a proposition guys- if we dont finish the break tonight- after you make a pick, PM the guy who is next. Might make the process go a bit faster
Just a thought
Ed

Okay, dinner cooked and waiting for me. I scanned these real quick. I haven't had time to read over the thread. I'll be back in 30 minutes.

Scans can be seen in the first post. I'll answer questions and PM when I get back.

ok. just wondering (not trying to steal any of your wants) what card were you interested in so far? I have a few that I have my eye on

awesome, thanks. I think we are still on pick 3
thanks for the quick scans
Ed

ok. just wondering (not trying to steal any of your wants) what card were you interested in so far? I have a few that I have my eye on

whos this to? if its me, hit me with a PM, if its to someone else- ignore this post. hehe

Ed

I would've loved to participate, but I don't have paypal, lol. Some very nice cards here and I'll maybe wait for the next group break. Good luck guys in picking your cards!

Franklin-This was a solid break so I will likely have another one up. Paypal preferred, but I can make exceptions.

i wish you hadnt said that Ash- now Im gonna have to round up more paypal for another break...lol
Ed

Haha....I might get in another one as well.

same with me. it was a solid break

nice break there guys! im not one for tennis, but i knew a bunch of the people pulled! plus i wanta subscribe to the thread because im getting some humor from the trading/potential trades

nice call on the box as well Ash! product sounds like a good one!


Thanks Dan. The best box I ever busted was this set. There's some serious value in it.

Just a thought
Ed

Good call. Everyone, please do this. It will only take a few seconds and speed up the draft.


ocsupertone81-did you have any questions or concerns?


Also, if you guys want to PM me with your queue list, I can autopick for you whichever card is available from the top of your list.

hmm, dont have a queue, but ill be on all night, so if it keeps moving tonight, i wont hold the process
Ed

Some people could cheat though. Maybe we could post it in the thread instead

lol guys. It might be another week or two though. I'm very tempted to drop over a grand to buy a case.

Some people could cheat though. Maybe we could post it in the thread instead


Cheat with what? Queue lists shouldn't be public.

lol guys. It might be another week or two though. I'm very tempted to drop over a grand to buy a case.

good, gives me time to round up the funds

can we post which we pick instead? Cus first of all it would be hard to keep track and second of all someone could say that someone else didnt pick that yet since it is only in PM. Not trying to be a pain

If you want to make your top card want public, you can, but I don't recommend that. I will post all auto picks in this thread. Everyone will see pick by pick results. So if someone wanted the Federer jersey and it was picked before your pick, then whichever was your second card on your wantlist would be the one that is autopicked. The queue list is optional.

Ok. I think I understand. That is fine if I understand correctly

ok.. i think ill just take the federer/roddick dual jersey.. so tennisdevils go ahead

im ready to roll .. so lets just do it pick by pick.. and ill finish mine tonight if every1 agrees to finish theirs tonight

im in for the long haul...lets get it done!
Ed

Thats what I was going to take :( Then I will take the Ivanovic JSY

fair enough.. sorry thats the only card i wanted for my PC... always liked roddick...w/ fed it makes it nicer

nice grab on the dual, i was seriously considering that one
Ed

o well. you payed the extra 5 bucks. you deserve it more then i do

Sharapova falls to the 2nd round! :pound:

I will take the Black/Huber dual auto /49 with my second round pick
Ed

I'll take the Sharapova Materials.

I'll take the Sharapova Materials.

and if you dont want it, id trade for it...
Ed

lets go with the federer jsy

and if you dont want it, id trade for it...
Ed

Oh I have no problems with it....just wanted the Ivanovic more.

see..palantri got the dual i wanted too.. id have wanted it more if it was on the mens side(like the bryans)

Updated. :thumb:

I'll take the Gasquet silver. Sorry for the late reply

I'll take the Gasquet silver. Sorry for the late reply


No problem.

its kewl.. dont worry bout it..

does that bring it back to me?

Everyone is on, so no need to PM the next guy...for now.

does that bring it back to me?


You're on the clock!

wow, this is rolling now- lemme check the list

yea..palantri ur up

I will snag the Nadia Petrova auto

stop reading my mind and stealing my next picks..lol

thats who i was going to take next :( again with stealing :( lol

sorry, my list of cards i want is getting pretty short...not that there arent some nice things left

thats 2 in a row now

and I'll take the Navratilova SP jsy.

people stop stealing my picks..come on

figured that one was going soon

and I'll take the Navratilova SP jsy.


Nice. Sleeper pick imho.

guess ill go w/ the youzhny auto

thats who i was going to take also

if i didnt have a couple martina pieces in my autograph collection, id have nabbed that jersey a lot sooner- nice grab

well the 2 fed (one w/ roddick..) i thought were more of a value .. nav was my 3rd pick...

i cant decide between the jensens auto and the petrova jsy

im nabbing people i like, not going by value. except the nadal, ill be keeping almost everything im picking. im thrilled that dual auto fell to me, i was really interested in that one and am glad i got it
Ed

This draft is getting me excited for fantasy football...

i cant decide between the jensens auto and the petrova jsy

Choose wisely, young Skywalker...LOL

doing a fantasy football league Ash? Im still undecided if I want to play this year

doing a fantasy football league Ash? Im still undecided if I want to play this year


Yeah, I have two Yahoo drafts next month. Also participate in a league with coworkers/friends. Two of those at $100 each buy in.

ouch- i dont usually do fantasy for money- makes me not enjoy the games as much as i otherwise would

tennis.. the clock it ticking.. 1 min left.. lol ..j/k

ouch- i dont usually do fantasy for money- makes me not enjoy the games as much as i otherwise would


Yep. I find myself screaming at the TV instead of enjoying the game. Sad addiction. :pray:

hey Ren ... what do u get out of this anyway?? just wondering.. id be more than happy to do another break of this stuff myself.. but i know the rules.. so id have to have approval and stuff right?

better than crack cocaine or heroin...lol

hey Ren ... what do u get out of this anyway?? just wondering.. id be more than happy to do another break of this stuff myself.. but i know the rules.. so id have to have approval and stuff right?


Nothing. I'm doing this at cost and on my own time.

Happy to meet other Tennis collectors though. HOpefully we can expand tennis interest too.

Nothing. I'm doing this at cost and on my own time.

and thats what makes this site so fantastic...

I'll take the Jensens auto, and sorry for the late reply again. I just couldn't decide betwen that and the petrova

i dont blame you...im thinking on that and another card right now

just so you guys know, after my pick, whenever i decide it, im making a dinner run

better than crack cocaine or heroin...lol


Very true. I've won one league in 7 years. Probably 11-12 teams total.

no prob.. thats kewl.. are there any other breaks coming up.. i want to get in on another...

I'll take the Jensens auto, and sorry for the late reply again. I just couldn't decide betwen that and the petrova


Wise choice. That would have been my pick from the two.

I will grab the Radionova regular auto- and will be back in around 20 minutes

Ed

i would really want to do another break of this

no prob.. thats kewl.. are there any other breaks coming up.. i want to get in on another...

Hopefully in 1-2 weeks. We may expand to 5 positions if there's enough interest.

I'll spend my 4th rounder on the....

Rezai SP Auto.

im in .. i kinda like the 4 set up.. i call dibs on 1st draft pick ... lol

im thinking here on what i want to do for my next pick.. give me a few

Yea, I'd be in for another break....

I kinda like the idea of a random draw for pick positions though. That'd be cool to try, if possible.

sorry ..im having a hard time here...

Yea, I'd be in for another break....

I kinda like the idea of a random draw for pick positions though. That'd be cool to try, if possible.


I prefer that route as well. Its a tough gamble if you only have limited amount of money to spend.

If I bump it up to 5 positions, the prices will go down.

palantri: I forgot about how good Cara Black was in tennis and forgot she was #1! But I really needed the Ivanovic becuase she is my favorite player. Would you like to trade (not the Ivanovic) for the Cara double auto

sorry ..im having a hard time here...

Its cool. :)

i would also perfer random. maybe do each person gets a pack?

ill go w/ 4.. and get in at any price... lets take the petrova jsy

by the pack wouldn't be a good idea. Some really are hit or miss. The prices would have to be the same for everyone too.

by the pack wouldn't be a good idea. Some really are hit or miss. The prices would have to be the same for everyone too.

good point. i forgot that you are doing a difference in price.

You're up Jonathan.

Im looking over them once more and will have my decision within the hour. Just kidding. I will have my pick within one or two minutes

how bout an update there Ren..?

Franklin-This was a solid break so I will likely have another one up. Paypal preferred, but I can make exceptions.

I'll have to think about it Ash. These are good prices, and I was tempted from the beginning, but I'm still wondering if I want to expand towards football and baseball, so tennis is a maybe for me right now, lol.

i will take the john newcombe

o ya. the jsy not the auto

i will take the john newcombe

Auto or JSY?

I'll have to think about it Ash. These are good prices, and I was tempted from the beginning, but I'm still wondering if I want to expand towards football and baseball, so tennis is a maybe for me right now, lol.


I understand. I haven't expanded much in tennis outside of this set.

i will take the john newcombe


Put you down for the jersey. I'm surprised you took that over the auto.

i thought u mean the regular card there tennis.. j/k

how long do we have to wait for palantri to get back???

you dont have to wait any longer- i said i was grabbing dinner, now im back

Patience is a virtue....I'm sure he'll be back any minute.

alright... keeping it movin

Ren.. are there any other group breaks going on in any of the other forums in the next day or so?

Ill grab the Nikki Pratt auto

I think we doubled (might triple) the number of posts in the tennis forum after this is done...

i hate to interrupt, but id also be interested in a group break if you have one of these in the future

easily- there arent a lot of products for tennis out there, and there dont seem to be many collectors. i always wanted to jump in, but there was never a real good opportunity until now

alright... keeping it movin

Ren.. are there any other group breaks going on in any of the other forums in the next day or so?


Enigma does the group breaks in the other sports. I'm not sure when the next ones will be up.

My turn?

I'll grab the Stan Smith Auto.

the reason i took the jsy of newcombe over the auto is because the auto had a minor ding you wrote

i hate to interrupt, but id also be interested in a group break if you have one of these in the future


Not a problem. I put you down on my list of members to PM when the next break happens. :)

Ren.. how bad is the ding on the newcombe auto?? i can barely see it in the scan!

Ren.. how bad is the ding on the newcombe auto?? i can barely see it in the scan!


Its minor. The edge isn't perfect. The entire card is there, but the edge sticks out a little.

would that be your pick Ren right now? if not what would u go w/

easily- there arent a lot of products for tennis out there, and there dont seem to be many collectors. i always wanted to jump in, but there was never a real good opportunity until now

Very true. Ace Authentic is the only company who produces official tennis cards. They have two sets out so far this year. This set is easily their best one.

Its a good card and pretty solid for a pick this late. I pulled a silver version in another break and sold it for over $10.

lets do the newcombe auto then

13 picks left. I imagine the inserts will fly by fast. These cards are as thick as the GU.

nadeau ur up i believe

sorry
wait..tennis and palantri didnt go.. lol my bad

nope....tennisdevils turn.

i will take the capriati jsy

i will take the capriati jsy


Nice. I thought she was forgotten.

not a very flattering picture of her on that card, i have to say- the gut hanging out- NOT hot

no.. that prob would have been my next pick... nice b/c its blue too (or so it looks like?)

hmm, not a lot of options left...willing to sell my remaining picks for 10 bucks total. if no ones interested, then ill pick...

not a very flattering picture of her on that card, i have to say- the gut hanging out- NOT hot

LOL. I think its safe to assume its mostly muscle and not belly fat.

:confused0024:

she was a big girl not too long ago, so im sure some of that remains- not that i can say anything, shed kick my backside in tennis, very quickly

i dont know that theres $10 worth on the stuff left...

i dont know either, but i thought id make the offer if anyone really saw a couple cards they liked

5 hits, 7 inserts left.

the reason she has been a "big girl" lately is cus she was pregnant

hey Ash- take my pick, as a thanks for hosting this!

lol.. ill take it!!

no, you wont- im offering it to the guy who has hosted this whole thing, while getting 0 out of it- i want to offer him something

hey Ash- take my pick, as a thanks for hosting this!

Cool, much appreciated Ed. Thanks bud.

I'll go with the Tracy Austin jersey. Woot got to make a pick!

there ya go Ren!

I'll go with the Thron Auto.

whos pick is it? I am getting a little bit tired

Jeremy, you're up.

whos pick is it? I am getting a little bit tired

We're almost done.

Your turn Jason.

ok thats fine.

adamczak auto.. even though faded a tad.. she still the highest ranked player left

I'll take the emma laine

1 hits, 7 inserts left.

gimme the kusnetsova insert, i dont have any idea who the last auto is, so ill grab the nice looking insert

I've cracked three or four boxes and I still haven't completed the insert set.

the inserts look nice- are they numbered at all?

last auto is an american...

I guess I'll take the Butorac Auto.

give me the 2 #1 ranked players.. Federer /Berankis

tennis ur up

the inserts look nice- are they numbered at all?

Not numbered. Just one variation of them. I'm glad they didn't go crazy with the parallels on the inserts.

ocsuperstone81 - can I trade you for the Berankis/Federer

for what?? i kinda had my eye on that for a while.. a lil surprised it fell to me!

btw the 1/1 was the first 1/1 I've ever pulled.

it was tough to leave that at #1, it really was. if i had heard of her at all, i would have taken it over the nadal

was kinda surprised palantri took the kuznetsova over this fed/berank

i will trade my last two picks for it

yea.. shes an up and coming player.. thats all i know..not sure her ranking at the moment.. id def heard the name though

not a fan of federer, so the pick was easy for me

nothing i want in ur last 2 picks..sorry! ..

id sell it though.. i want to go in on some hockey stuff next....

fine i will trade you a dual jsy of anna kournikova and maria sharapova. jk sorry

and id love to have a 1/1 .. i dont have any in any of my card collections

that woudlve been a nice trade there tennis.. 2 hot chicks for 2 #1 players on a card...

if the nadals left on my last pick, ill snag it. if not, you guys can fight over the insert...lol

Just want to thank all of you guys for hanging in there tonight. We put in a few hours, but it got done all in one night. :thumb:

the only thing that wouldve made it any better on the dual card would be to turn it into a triples.. and add harkleroad to it( w/ the pic of her in playboy) lmao.. that would have been PRICELESS!

if he dont get nadal can i swipe it??

Yes lol....

the only thing that wouldve made it any better on the dual card would be to turn it into a triples.. and add harkleroad to it( w/ the pic of her in playboy) lmao.. that would have been PRICELESS!

lol Thats like heaven on a peice of cardboard

yes its ur pick tennis

yea i know tennis ...maybe we can suggest that triples card for their next release?

or we could do a swimsuit triples w/ those 3?

lol. o ya and my pick... 4got again bout that. i will take the nadal insert, sorry palantri

well palantri .. usaid thats all u wanted.. so i can have the pick right?

Ed, did you want to pick one?

no bigs- um, Ash, if theres an insert you need for your set, snag it. if not, ill take novak

well palantri .. usaid thats all u wanted.. so i can have the pick right?

wow man, gimme a break...

hey.. he said it was up for dibs.. and i called Dibs way b4 anyone .. everybody heard that!

no bigs- um, Ash, if theres an insert you need for your set, snag it. if not, ill take novak


Thanks for the offer but I'm sure I'll complete it in a couple more breaks.

palantri - I really want that novak. i am a huge novak, ana, and jelena fan (all serbian). Would you be interested in trading for it if ash doesnt need/want it

Three picks left and we're done!

man, all youve been shooting for this entire break is value, or asking people to give you stuff. id much rather give to the guy who organized this break

Alright...I'll take the Navratilova Fist Pump one...lol.

for the record, i will take the novak

palantri said that if nadal wasnt left we could fight for it .. and i called Shotgun/Dibs.. so are we gonna stick by our word or what palantri?

ha, I just realized there are two Martina inserts. Just describe to me the one you want.

not trying to get you to give something free... your the one that said "if i dont get nadal.. then you guys can decide on my last pick"

i just think u need to be a man of ur word!

palantri said that if nadal wasnt left we could fight for it .. and i called Shotgun/Dibs.. so are we gonna stick by our word or what palantri?

frankly, im not really happy with the way you conducted yourself during this break, so Ill take the Novak, and decide what to do with it

see.. thats what upsets me.. how i conducted myself?? ur the one that made the comment about if u dont get nadal... and backing out on your word!

He's chosen to take the Novak. It was still his pick. Its done. :)

Your last pick is up.

the other martina is fine!

im not going to get into it- but all youve done this entire break is try and get the stuff with the most value, which is fine if thats how you want to do it, and try to have people give you stuff, or give you picks, or leave cards for you. Im tired of it, end of story, and end of my posting

Thanks Ash, for a great break. Guys, it was fun, looking forward to the next one
Ed

so the newcombe is tennis...

tennis.. hey im looking through ur bucket.. see if theres anything id like to trade u for the fed/ber...ok?

Hey Ash,

I just wanted to give a huge THANKS!!!! for doing this....this was the most random type of break I've ever been a part of, and it was awesome. Hopefully I can get in on another.

so.. i like to wheel and deal.. what the heck is wrong w/ that? when theres really nothing that was pulled that i wanted for my PC... what strategy would u reccommend that i take? The only other reasonable option would be to play it for value!

i didnt do anything to cheat anybody... nor was i the one that backed out of a statement i made...

Last card goes to you be default.

That concludes the draft.

I will PM everyone your draft picks later tonight. I will likely mail on Thursday, so you guys can work out trades by PM but any trade must be posted here. Deadline will be 24 hours from now. Please keep it cool in the PM too.

yea.. i appreciate this ash.. let me know of future ones u do..ok/?

hopefully ull do one soon!

No problem. Will do.


Ed-got it, thanks.


Also, if someone doesn't want to trade, please be respectful. Any trades done must be posted and agreed to by both members in this thread.

ash..how do u mail them anyway?? what kinda holders and stuff will u put them in?

tennis.. in ur football u have 2 eli manning numbered.. would u trade one of them for the fed/ber card?? thats all i seen that i want

ash..how do u mail them anyway?? what kinda holders and stuff will u put them in?

Toploaders and bubble mailer.


Also, the transaction will be going into the trade manager once the draft picks are finalized 24 hours from now. You will get your picks in 30-45 minutes by PM.

im not planning on trading any of them Ash- consider mine locked. Thanks
Ed

The BV is $15 on the Manning. It is only one card (the pics are front and back). So I wouldnt trade it for only the insert which isnt numbered

Here are the final results. I can only think of the cards from a sell perspective since none of them are PC for me...but if all of you were to resell them on ebay or somewhere else, I truly believe you will get your full value back.

Those of you who paid by paypal your cards were mailed today.

I'll look at ordering another box this weekend. If there's a lot of interest in the top two positions, we may have to set up a rotation system. We'll discuss this more if and when it happens.

Hey, was just checking out blowout cards. They got a huge special on boxes and cases of this product this weekend if you wanna order some more, Longhorn..

Thanks for the heads up. :thumb:
