    Tim,

    Thanks for the input.. something that I usually find is that that the top and the bottom spots generally have more interest initially, then the middle spots go. My overall goal with the pricing on this break was to keep the top spot under $100 to have people that usually can not afford a top spot with a chance to be involved as alot of the breaks that have been done in the past were higher costs (and higher end).

    I'm not oppose to re-evaluating the number of spots, which would increase the prices to all spots. But if there are other suggestions, let me know

    Keep it as is.... this is the deal I signed up for and will most likely not be interested if it changes........ just my 2 cents.... I saw the price for top spot, have never even been able to participate before and now could possibly afford spot #1..... keep it like it is.

    I agree with caitken12.I don't think I would be very interested in it if the prices changed.It is affordable right now for people to get some of the top spots.Price should not increase because a couple people think it is not fair.You still get a shot at some nice autos and jersey cards at the mid to lower spots also for the price it is.Is it not always the trends when doing a break that the top spots always go first.Really every case break the top 1-5 spots are usually the one that get the better hits.That is why you have to pay more to get the better spots on the break.Just my 2 cents.

    i just got some bad news... the price went up $20 for the case plus the 8.75% NYS tax that needs to be paid... good news... your costs will not change.

    I have the case reserved (not paid for at this point).

    I think it's a great idea to make the top spots lower priced (so it's almost lotteryish), but I think the problem is that the lower price points are not nearly low enough (in comparison to the top spots) so that it will be hard to find people to take them.
    I would take a lower spot, but not nearly at this price; just my two cents that it will be very hard to fill the last 5-6 slots because of the pricing, but we'll see. If they drop significantly, I'll sign up, and if not, I might sign up for one of the top few, but I understand everyone's views on this, so it will be interesting to see if it fills up.

    keep in mind that these prices include a base set, if you don't want it, the price goes down $5 (shipping costs, which to Canada is probably more)

    So for Slot 16 which is $25 with the base set would be $20 without it.

    And in case you are all wondering

    based on the odds we should reasonably expect

    40 Autos
    28 G/U or Patches or Numbers
    48 Picks
    48 Calder Cup Champs

    It's reasonable to expect everyone to have 10 picks and some on the inserts might be more sought than some of the autos (ie: Claude Giroux Picks insert vs. a Luke Lynes Auto).

    I think I'll leave the price as it is.

    I just wanted to make sure I understood the autos/jerseys per box.
    Isn't there 1 auto and 1 memo per box?
    Wouldn't that be 24 autos/24 jerseys per case, along with the inserts, or did I miss something? Thanks!

    Showdown-
    The averages you stated above are based on per box, while the actual odds are done per pack...this case being 576 packs with the following odds:

    576/14= 41.1 autos
    576/20=28.8 GU

    You can round accordingly, so while most boxes will have 1 of each, some will have 2 of each 1 and 2...ect. Hope that helps.

    the odds on the Autos is 1 and 14 and the Memoriabilia is 1 and 20. The case has a total of 576 packs (24 packs a box, 24 boxes a case).

    Realistically there will be 1 AU and 1 GU in a box at minimum but most my own personal boxes I have opened have had 2 Auto's/1GU) and the box I opened last night had an Auto and 2 GU's pieces.
