One autograph per pack means 8 autographs available for the four positions. I am not responsible if a card is shorted in the box.

Draft order positions will be first come first serve. Reply to this thread with your position of interest.

After the draft order position is finalized I will request payments and post the deals in the trade manager. The break will then proceed.

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 pick a card within 18 hours I will autodraft for you.

You are more than welcome to trade draft picks. All trades must be posted and confirmed by both members in this thread. I will also allow trades to be done after the break. You have 24 hours from the end of the break to do this.

If you are a participant in the first group break I ask that you hold off on signing up for this one. I would like to give others an equal opportunity to participate in a group break. If this doesn't fill up by the time the product is released then you can join in on this break too. Thank you.

Currently limiting it to one spot per member. I apoligize for not specifying that in my original post. Trying to give equal opportunity to SCF members. If the 4th draft position doesn't fill by Sunday night, it is all yours.

I may do a third group break after the set releases but the #1 spot is already on hold for another member.

RenegadeLonghorn
04-09-2009, 05:47 PM
Any objections if I did this on video? May need the proof in case we're shorted a card. UD has been shorting their stuff lately. Topps is reliable, but you never know.

cdpowell34
04-09-2009, 09:16 PM
How does it work if you do it on video? Do we watch the video and then make our picks after that. How long do we have to make each pick? What happens to the left over cards? I am very excited about this product. Do you think that you will get the boxes on the 15?

RenegadeLonghorn
04-09-2009, 09:21 PM
I'll break the box on video to show what was in each pack. Scans of all non base cards will be posted and a list of all pulls will be provided. Then the draft will begin. All cards will be drafted by you and the other participants in order.

Product will be released on the 15th but it has to ship out to me.

Its a nice looking set but it lacks the auto depth that I'm sure we all expected. Plus, the autos are way too high numbered. Ridiculous.

Product sell sheet did a good job of hiding how the autos are mass produced. Yi Jianlin, Nick Young, Thaddeus Young is proof.

Yeah...I think this is the sole result of Topps dumping off autos they had saved with the Panini deal now in place....
