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.

Enigma 09-18-2008, 10:30 AM Me too...haven't had a solid group break in a while...got a rep to protect...lol
Ziggypop 09-18-2008, 10:33 AM 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!
Tinofan 09-18-2008, 02:21 PM will make payment tomorrow if that is okay. Alsso I will keep my spot
Ziggypop 09-18-2008, 03:48 PM Cool! Can we do the break tonight?
Enigma 09-18-2008, 03:51 PM Not until I get the payment...been burnt too many times on group breaks...
Tinofan 09-19-2008, 06:57 AM payment sent via paypal
Enigma 09-19-2008, 10:00 AM Yup...payment received...will bust shortly...
Enigma 09-19-2008, 10:27 AM 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.

Ziggypop 09-19-2008, 11:00 AM Thanks Tony.
Allanon 09-19-2008, 11:58 AM 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... :)
Ziggypop 09-19-2008, 03:51 PM Already in the break forum.
I just think I drank too much coffee. Hence the overmotivation. TGIF.
fyretiger 09-19-2008, 04:59 PM I'll take the six swatch card.
Tinofan 09-19-2008, 05:10 PM I'll take the Quad swatch Ripken/Jeter/greene/tulowitzki
