Break is done. We got the star auto in Kournikova, but no where near the level of the Nadal auto. Hard to beat a 1/1 last time but the dual jersey gold actually rivals it in terms of sell value imho.

I'm going to update the results in the thread. Afterwards scans will be up.

whoever drafts this card i would be interested in trading for it got a lot of tennis in the bucket

Jennifer Capriati Auto

btw the Capriati above was a jersey, not an auto. I mistyped.

Results posted. Will sleeve and scan them now.

Seems like the first break was better, but overall, not a bad break at all!

I agree. This was still a solid break. Depending on how the draft goes I think all of you should do pretty well again.

Scans added. Ed is officially on the clock!

I won't be on the entire night (dinner). So, if you make a pick, please PM the next member. Try to avoid picking the same card!

Thanks and good luck.

If you want to create a queue list please PM me. When it is your pick, I will draft the top available card from your queue. Queue list will be private.

just got home- I want the anna k auto!
Ed

nice on ed... still sucks that i couldnt get in on this one!

that makes my break- i was hoping for her or sharapova...thankfully we didnt get both, id have had a tough choice to make

I would go with Sharapova if it was between those too. :)

I'm sure Jeremy's pick here is a no brainer. Will wait for him to make the pick though.

possibly, but ive gotten maria twice through the mail...and i didnt have an anna yet

ed.. did u do a ttm for maria?? or did u buy one?

ttm, and through email, although her email addy is no longer valid

thats kewl man..where'd u find her addy?

and how long did it take u to get back?

bout 3 months

not too bad.. what was it a 5x7? or a card u sent??

itd be soo awesome to send a ball.. to players.. anybody ever tried that? ..

bummer, looks like this break is gonna take a few days...

does anyone know how much I owe? it shows that me and ash are splitting 4. i really dont know. i just got home from tennis so i am a little clueless right now. any help is great. thanks

i think he was going to take it if you didnt, and if you want it, you can take it, but Im not positive

he can take it. if he logs back on could you please let him know? that would be great! and thanks for responding so quickly

tennisdevils-if you want the final spot (#4 position) it will be $20.

Btw this will be the only time I reveal results before all positiosn are filled. Just trying to get this break going.

SORRY!

Was busy, something came up....yes, I'll take the dual.

dont blame you at all- if it wasnt an anna auto, i would have grabbed the dual jersey too

Onto what's left...(I shouldn't have been a tightwad and went for #1)..oh well

Maria Sharapova Jersey

well, that was my second round pick...lol

ash: just wanted to make sure everything worked out ok and that you are positive that you are ok to take the 4th spot

Jeremy-no problem at all

dirtydistance-that is a very solid pick. I would have gone with that at the #4 spot.

palantri is taking the #4 spot.

hey guys- Im willing to take the 4th pick, so Ash doesnt have to, unless one of you wants to buy spot 4

let me know either way, i dont want to deprive someone else of the chance without offering
Ed

Ed-its all yours. Nobody else is eligible for the break. tennisdevils is taking a pass on this break.

i'm good..if i was gonna put that much money into this, i'd have gone for the top spot!

so if u want it, go for it

Yea, go ahead....I'll get yelled at for taking 2nd already, let alone adding on 4th!

i meant to offer the other two guys in the break the spot Ash, not the community at large, but if neither Jeremy or dirtydistance want it, Ill make my picks

ok, with pick 4 I will take the Dementieva auto

Having back to back picks should be fun!

and Ill take the ana ivanovic jersey with round 2, pick 5

Having back to back picks should be fun!

gives me a pretty good shot at landing most of what i want from the box, and 20 bucks for another 5-6 gu/autos is a pretty good deal for me

dang it! Wanted the Ivanovic....oh well.

I guess I'll go with the Ljubicic Auto.

Roger Federer jersey

figured that one, so much for me grabbing a federer on this break...

Ill take the Wozniak auto /24

and Ill grab the Dementieva jersey

Updated.

I'll go with the Petrova Auto.

hey Jeremy- nice signature, do you really believe Mo is gonna help us though?

Rainer Schuettler Silver /49 auto

This break doesn't seem as deep as the last one. I had another break where I pulled a Kournikova auto and not much else. Worse break for me so far.

I think he will....he's a pretty good player.

I think most of us Cavs fans are just worried it's gonna be the Larry Hughes experiment all over again, but I don't see it that way. I think Mo is exactly what LeBron needs....now we just need to go out and get a big who can score (like Al Harrington), and if that happens, I think we have as good a chance as anyone this year.

i agree ash, but its got some decent cards- no big money cards, but I dont open stuff to make money...

I think Im up again, right?

Yup you're up.

Castano auto, and Nalbandian jersey

thanks

I'll take the Capriati JSY.

Anne Keothavong auto

Surprised to see the two silver SP's /49 still available.

hey am i allowed to suggest a few cards for the next people who are picking? i know a lot about tennis (I play) and watch every day

hey am i allowed to suggest a few cards for the next people who are picking? i know a lot about tennis (I play) and watch every day

I don't have a problem with that....up to everyone else though.

ill snag the robredo and petrova jersies

ok thats fine. i wont suggest until i know that everyone is ok with it

doeesnt bother me, although there arent a lot of picks left

i dont care about at this point, suggestions are cool

I'll go with the Newcombe Auto.

once i know that dirty and jeremy are ok i will make a list of my opinion of best avail

now just jeremy then

my bad....yea, it's fine. Doesn't bother me.

Mikhail Youzhny auto

Tu and Murray autos

Michael Berrer Auto

This draft is going much faster than the previous one.

I'll take the error card

Margaret Smith Court Silver /49 (sticker auto is missing!)

2 hits left.

i think its because the break isnt as good, and since im picking 1/2 the cards, its quicker than having two people pick

I'll take the error card

Margaret Smith Court Silver /49 (sticker auto is missing!)

Good pick. On the back it certifies an autograph. I pulled a gold version /24 with the sticker auto missing. Sold it for $12-15.

kournikova and sharapova inserts

nevermind, i got caught up with something else. the only surprises i saw were how late the youhzny auto and the robredo jsy went. those are two great/rising players

i think its because the break isnt as good, and since im picking 1/2 the cards, its quicker than having two people pick

The break was lacking that second hit auto. Having that would have made this a much deeper break.

Guess I'll take the Sun-Jun Auto.

Roger Federer insert

austin and kusnetsova, and then i get whatevers left. Thanks again for hosting this Ash!

I'll take the US Open one.

Thanks again Ash, fun, like usual! I appreciate it!

You're welcome.

Once the break concludes I will PM results.

Stan Smith

thanks for the break

No problem. :)
