Hey guys, just an update. The bulk of the boxes in the break arrive tomorrow  . I just got a shipping notice today for the 2 boxes of S1 that releases tomorrow. What does that mean? Judging by the shipping time from the earlier boxes, the S1 is due to arrive here on Saturday. The question is, will UPS deliver them Saturday. I think so, but if they do not, I will host a supplementary break Monday evening at 7PST for those 2 boxes. If it comes to that, we will be using the same teams we pick on Saturday, no redrafting. Should only take about 20 mins tops.That being said, I am counting on having them Saturday.

anotherblownsave posted:Use it well. Magic playing friends were PISSED. "You traded it for what?!?!" Well, you sold it for $55 plus a Tavares patch/auto, I think it was a fair deal. I am probably going throw it into an EDH deck for a few years and revisit it then, see if Wizards jumps the shark with reprints by then.

Bad news guys, according to the UPS tracking, the S1 will not arrive until Monday. All that changes is that we will have a short, supplementary break on Monday at 7PST to do those 2 boxes. We will be retaining the same teams, so when you draft Saturday, draft with the S1 in mind as well. I will post a list/photos of all the hits from those 2 boxes here for anyone who is unable to make it Monday night. Sorry that it happened this way, I was really hoping to have everything for this weekend  We're still going to kill it this break, we have a lot to live up to after the last one (Hall /25, Tavares /25, Gal 1/1 ) but I think we can outdo it

In other card news, the bulk of this weekend's break came today safe and sound. Now if you will excuse me, I have a box of DC Women to open  e: No real* costume cards and a 1/1 sketch of Bleez. Not my favorite character, but I'll take it. *totally fake darkwolf220 fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Nov 5, 2015 |

^^ Will do If any one you guys want to take up the mantle and try to keep these going, PM me and I will give you whatever info I can. Break facts: Only one team completely whiffed: The New York Rangers. Good thing the Jets came through strong. Everyone in the break got an auto or jersey card, not including my giveaway cards. The best late pick was certainly Columbus, who never disappoints with their quantity. Another quantity hog, Minnesota, was surprisingly quiet. Enjoy your Dany Heatly. Liam Stewart is really Rod Stewart's son. I thought you guys were loving with me. Surmy won that one by the way. Greg McKegg is our lord and savior.

gently caress Pavalec, that Petan patch is pretty baller. Sometimes you only need one card to make a break.

Ashekaban posted:Depends on price point. The former will have everything you want in just about any breaking format but is less personable. The latter is much more personable and a great guy, but usually has a much more limited selection and (what killed it for me) operates almost entirely on a team random system. The teams are randomized and the names are randomized and you get whatever team is next to your name. It is faster and benefits people who don't know much/care about hockey or a particular team, but it is very hard to trade for a team you want. As far as price point, that is where it will hurt. Breaks usually run between $50 and $100, not unlike mine. The biggest difference is that you get 1 team, not 2. They usually run at 28 spots and the last 2 teams are randomly given away. I understand why they do it like that, they are businesses and have to make money. I was lucky/happy if I came out with +$5 after shipping  but I was not doing it as my livelihood, I just liked opening cards. So yeah, in a way, the cost is 100% the same and also at the same time, double. It just depends on how much you value the second team. Also keep in mind that the odds are out of 28, not 15, so your chance of first overall with them is 1/28 instead of 1/15. And if you buy 2 spots, you have just as good a chance of getting picks 1 and 2 as you are of getting picks 27 and 28. I'm not trying to shy you away from either, I have broken with both and gotten some monster hits out of both (Patrick Roy 1/1 auto from CnC, Brett Hull auto SP from STL) but the risk is there. Also, they (especially CnC) typically have super high end product (Cup, NT etc) if that is your thing. Again, high risk, high reward.e: If you have 1 team you care about and nothing else, CnC often runs 'team select' breaks, with each team having a different price. So Los Angeles might cost $65 while Arizona is $20 and Edmonton is $135. It is very mathematical based on the number of hits each team has in the product, the quality of those hits and popularity of the team. For as much as I dislike the rigidness of the personalities and breaks, they are a first class operation and it is no surprise that they are the leaders in the industry. I strongly recommend this format, it takes some of the suspense of the drafting of teams out, but that isn't a bad thing for everyone. The worst part about these is that sometimes 3 or 5 teams near the end take forever to sell and you can be waiting around for it to fill for a while. darkwolf220 fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Dec 15, 2015 |

Looks like what ITG did for years, but don't expect this to be as nice as Superlative.

Enjoy your $600+ card! PS: Get that physical card request in ASAP and if they have an express/insured/whatever option, do it. Also if they have the option to send it straight to Beckett for grading, get it graded and slabbed. darkwolf220 fucked around with this message at 04:30 on May 23, 2016 |
