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.

Box is in hand and can be busted as soon as positions fill and payments are received.

Was I 1st in the 3rd break?

I had another member contact me about the first position when I posted the other breaks. If he's not interested anymore then you can have the #1 spot.

I posted in the 2nd group break about the 1st spot in the next break. I dont see anyone else that posted unless you were pm'ed. lmk- thx.

I was PMed.

This break will be a live pack by pack break.

acdefg has claimed the #1 and #4 draft position. However, if you want the #4 position then it will be yours. I'm limiting one position per member unless this doesn't fill up.

I'd like spot #2....

Done!

Draft position #3 is the final spot left. This break will occur tonight!

Do you have a Ustream account or similar? Or will this just be live on the forum (in threads)? Nice to have this break on the last day of the regular season....

You should have my money via Paypal...if not, let me know...

Don't have a ustream or webcam. I did get your payment. Thank you.

Draft position #3 still available. Any takers?

Doing a live pack break at 8:30 pm central time in the pack/box breaks forum.

Sweet! Right about tip-off for the Portland-Denver match...

About 90 minutes to fill the last spot...

15 minutes actually :winking0071:

15 minutes actually :winking0071:

Oh yeah, DUH! Glad I could show off my stupidity in the public forum!

Now I get to do 90 minutes of stuff in the next 9 minutes!!!!

Done with the break. I'll update the results here in a few minutes. Scans will follow shortly after.

Results added. Give me about 30 minutes to scan them. You guys can begin the draft if you'd like.

Draft should go pretty fast...hopefully we don't need 18 hours per pick...

Scans added.

abcdefg officially on the clock

18 hours has passed. autopicking for abcdefg so I'm sure he'll want the Dwight Howard auto.

VintageHeros is on the clock.

Well, can we really be sure he wanted Howard? I would love the Howard...so abcdefg if you want to trade I'll give you both of my autos for the Howard after we're all done here....

For my selection I'll take the Daniel Gibson Auto...

I know, Wallace is a better player but Gibson will be in the Championship this year...

If he doesn't want the Howard we'll backtrack since its just a couple of picks.

Gibson was going to be my pick. :)

Going with the Butler auto.

Does abcdef know about this thread? He PM'd to join the break but has yet to post here...maybe he's not getting updates???

I'm not impatient, just curious. With two of every four picks in this draft he is crucial to completing this thing by May....

I've PMed him a couple of times.

Sorry for not getting on here...I did want the Howard (Really pointless how its numbered so high). For my next 2 I'll take the Rudy Gay and Yi

I'll take the G. Wallace auto...

Russell Westbrook white facsimilie /289


and yes that means I passed up on the last auto

I hope the Robinson falls to me. ;)

abcdefg...on the clock with picks 8 and 9....

18 hours passed since the last pick....

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.

Last pick was made 22 hours ago. Auto drafting Mickael Pietrus autograph for abdefg's #9 pick. Rules are rules.

All autographs are now off the board.

Good stuff. I will proceed with the draft by picking based on your queue.

abcdefg #9 is Brandan Wright auto /3645

VintageHeros #10 is Giddens Red Fac RC

I will select the David Robinson red border for #11 pick

abcdefg #12 pick Nick Young white border
abcdefg #13 pick George Gervin red border

VintageHeros #14 Westbrook RC

Thanks for the break Ash...you could probably just knock out the draft on your own without posting (if you're not already in the middle of that chore) and then post the results in an edited version of the original post...

My #15 pick will be the Donte Green red

No problem. Just wish this set was better with more auto depth.

Its easier for me to post each pick in case I make an error and can backtrack to fix it.

abcdefg #16 pick Deandre Jordan rookie
abcdefg #17 pick Donte Green rookie

Good Point...its also kind of fun to watch!

My take is that they shouldn't even bother numbering the autos if they are that high...no number is better than a huge number IMO...

VintageHeros #18 pick Alando Tucker red

I'm having a blast! :sign0020:


Autos numbered to 1000 is high. But 6000+ plus? Sheesh.

my #19 pick is George Hill rookie

abcdefg #20 pick Sean Singletary rookie
abcedfg #21 pick Michael Ray Richardson red

Looks like just base is left.

VintageHeros #22 Dennis Rodman

my #23 pick is Daniel Gibson

abcdefg #24 and #25
Isiah Thomas base
Dolph Schayes base

VintageHeros #26 Rajon Rondo

my #27 is Josh Howard

abcdefg #28 and #29
Reggie Theus base
Otis Birdsong base

VintageHeros #30 Yi Jianlian

my #31 Zach Randolph

and last pick is Nick Young.

That concludes the draft. I will have results up in 20 minutes.
