8 packs per box, 4 cards per pack.

Last year, Ace Authentic Grand Slam sold out quickly. This year, Ace has added even more value by providing 2 autographs per pack in 70%-75% of packs, 1 memorabilia card, and our first foil blaster card....all in one very limited pack. Look for not only today's greatest stars such as Federer, Nadal, and Sharapova, but the real legends of the game such as Martina Navratalova, John Newcombe, Stan Smith, Margaret Court-Smith, Tracy Austin, Pat Cash, and more...plus today's greatest rookies and prospects.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
* 1-2 autographs in every pack.
* 1 jersey card in every pack.
* 1 all-foil US Open Memories card in every pack.
* 20 rookie cards including Junior Boys #1 Ricardas Berankis.
* First time autograph and jersey cards for legends such as Martina Navratalova, Margaret Smith Court, John Newcombe, and Stan Smith.
* Various dual jersey cards.
* Limited edition Silver cards(only 49).
* Limited edition sequentially numbered Gold cards(only 24).
* 1 of 1 Platinum Holofoil cards.

There are at least 24 autograph/game used hits in this box. I've had up to 25 in previous boxes. Many star and legends autographs and game used!

Each person will receive at least 6 autographed or game used cards!!!

Draft position #1 - $50 (Picks 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29) palantri
Draft position #2 - $35 (Picks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30) nadeau01_johnson48
Draft position #3 - $25 (Picks 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31) dirtydistance
Draft position #4 - $20 (Picks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32) tennisdevils?

Once you commit, you cannot back out. This is an agreement just like one that would be in the trade manager. These will be posted in the trade manager.


After the draft order is set, I will proceed with the break. This will be a live pack by pack break in this thread. Scans of all cards will be posted after the break.

Once the draft begins, you have 18 hours to make a pick. If pick #1 is made, pick #2 must be made in 18 hours and so forth. If you do not your pick will be passed and the next person will be on the clock. You can come back and make that pick at a later time but you may miss out on a good card!

Starting with this break, I am putting in place a rotation system for the #1 pick. If you get the #1 pick this break, you drop down to the last spot for the #1 pick in the next group break. Those who participate in this break have priority for the #1 pick in the next break.

I will be sending out PM's to determine the draft positions. Give me a few minutes.

We have one person who can't make this break. So, we're going to four positions. I will adjust the prices and PM everyone again.

I hope so. I still need to hear back from tennisdevils who is currently not online. But you, Jeremy and dirtydistance have expressed interest in different positions.

Yeah I am around to draft in the evenings pretty much only. Get on for a few minutes in the morning, but I work all day and have no computer access until I get home in the evening..

Just a heads up..

No problem. Once we have the card results we can settle in on a couple of things that will help speed up the draft process. Draft queues and such. I'll remind you guys when we get to that point.

You and nadeau01_johnson expressed interest in the 2nd spot. Random draw has been done and nadeau01 gets the second spot.

The #3 and #4 spot are available. We need to get this break rolling, so please select one of those spots. dirtydistance is taking either #3 or #4. Thanks.

Payments received for the first two picks.

dirtydistance-if you want #3 or #4, PM me with which one and I will send you my paypal info.

If we can get the draft order set within the next few hours I will be able to get the break done and scan cards. Possibly even finish the entire draft tonight.

Same here....hopefully the break is done tonight, and I can at least get a queue list up of the order I'd want everything, since I'll probably be busy tomorrow through Sunday night.
