"Tears of the Mariners."

I think I read a review of that. Thought it was one of those baseball stories like "Pride of the Yankees", you know? But it's just about some crabby old sailors, stuck in this little town.

Among other things, you got a RNH auto /25 and a Tavares jersey/auto /25. In the same box. Krigen's 1/1 Galligher beats you though :haw: .

Scans incoming, youtube tomorrow.

e: Top 9 cards imo:



ee: fits got Edmonton, NYI and Winnipeg, Shyduck got Philly, LA and Ottawa. The RNH is a Prizm parallel /25, the MAF is a gold parallel /10 (I think)

Everything is packed up. Krigen, I had a spare screw down that is just the right size for that 1/1, so it should make it there inside its impenetrable fortress. That being said, tossing this up:

:siren: Sept Break :siren:

$55/spot, 10 OR 15 spots, 3 OR 2 teams. This is a modular break that can go with 10 or 15 breakers. If we make it to 15, more product will be added, see below.

1x 14-15 Fleer Showcase
1x 13-14 Ultimate
1x 13-14 Contenders
1x 13-14 Select
1x 13-14 Crown Royale
1x 12-13 Classic Signatures
1x 11-12 Contenders
1x 10-11 Pinnacle

If 15 spots, adding:
2x 14-15 Fleer Showcase
1x 13-14 Select

1-10 are guaranteed a spot in the 10 man break, if you are in spots 11-14 and we fail to hit 15 in time, sorry, you're out of luck this time. That being said, this break is all value. Showcase yielded a RPA, a SP RPA and a 1/1, Contenders had 8 :stare: hits (they advertise 3) and we hit a /99 Seth Jones rookie auto from Ultimate, not to mention the 2 /25 autos that came out of Select.

Break is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th at 7 PM PST, payment is due no later than September 11th. Lets get this filled up right away so I don't have to have any sleepless nights :haw:

I've had that screw down forever, but everything I have ever wanted to put in it was 130 pt or thicker, so it was nice to see a normal sized card worthy of it. Thanks for the patch, I tossed some Nucks and Habs goodness into your package ;)

Agreed, shoulder patches make the best patches for a lot of teams. The Caps are def one of them. Calgary still has the best though :allears:

Hey guys. I'm selling much of my card collection save a choice few for a ring on my to be fiance's finger. A lot of it just lays around for me, so I really need to put it to good use as money, no matter how much, seems to be short when the student loans are around. It's been so much fun, but i'm pretty much retiring from the game to get smart financially and start the life that I want.

If you're interested in any of these, please let me know. Many of these have been good hits from our breaks. I'd love to send them to a better home than some ebay creeps.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/ericbledsoe12/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Anyways, let me know. They're all intentionally overlisted. There's also a lot that's not listed that I can go and look for. This is really going to be a process.

I'll come and just hang out the next break. I enjoy all of you.

Peace and love.

Hey guys, a couple quick things.

First, I've gotten reports of someone not getting their package from last break. People in the US should have gotten it by now, Canada might have gotten it by now/will soon, Australia should get it within the next few days. Can you guys let me know if you got everything ok so I can determine if this is a random incident or something shady going on at my local post office?


In other news, I am going to be out of country from the 2nd to the 9th, maybe when I get back the break will be filled? :shobon:
