This group break will be conducted using a draft. That means, once we get four 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, 5, etc. second name gets pick 2, 6, etc., 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 after the box has arrived. 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 four getting in can participate.

Well after the 6 packs you sent me of 2008 Heroes Tony, you got credit with me for over a year. Best single rip session of my life, easily!

Now if you can pull me some sick Oswalt, you'll be up for two years!

Just did the break...gonna see how the video came out to see if I can post it or not...

The box was shorted 1 base, so there is 19 cards overall...

I will post the pack by pack breakdown with scan in a little bit...

Ziggypop
09-19-2008, 10:43 AM
I'm at work, won't be able to see video or scans. If someone from the group (or Tony) can put the list of the 19 cards, I may be able to start picking.

Hope the fact we got shorted meant we got something big... hence my first pick lol.

Thanks Tony.

Allanon

Very nice... looks like everyone will come out with some good cards!!

mattdile3
09-19-2008, 12:35 PM
It doesn't look out any of the cards stick out SIGNIFICANTLY over the others though. Which leads me to believe, the last pick, will get his worth just as much as the first pick if not more!

Allanon
09-19-2008, 12:38 PM
That's kinda what I was thinking... :winking0071:

mattdile3
09-19-2008, 12:55 PM
Don't get me wrong, the 8 swatch will probably go first, but I still think there's some good value there! Solid break overall, very nice Tony.

Let's see some more group breaks, I'm itching to get in one as well.

Ziggypop
09-19-2008, 03:16 PM
As the first pick owner, I think it's a good break overall, but I wished we hit something big... oh well. Those cards still look very nice!

I guess we'll wait for Tony to post it in the Break section to make our choices...

Allanon
09-19-2008, 03:22 PM
I'd like to either see the vid or the scans too...

Thanks Tony!!!

Tinofan
09-19-2008, 03:27 PM
Hopefully we can get this going tonight as I will be out of town tommorrow into sunday night.

Ziggypop
09-19-2008, 03:29 PM
Unless some card has multi-color jersey on it (which I doubt there is in this product), I will go for the eight swatch as I am a BJ Upton collector!

Enigma
09-19-2008, 03:31 PM
None has multi colors other than an occasional pinstripe. Go ahead and begin here if you wish...not sure when I can get scans as I'm bogged down right now and have family coming this afternoon...

Ziggypop
09-19-2008, 03:34 PM
All right then. I'll create the thread in the group break and announce my pick there.

Enigma
09-19-2008, 03:49 PM
You can just do it here... :)
