By now I would think most everyone is aware of the EPIC group break coming up for 35 cases of 2010 Bowman Chrome. There have been at least 2 contests on the hobby boards to drive interest, but I'm wondering how there are 167 slots left. I realize this break is huge both in number of slots (225) and number of cases (35), and that the price tag for some members could be considered high, but for the value returned, the price seems too good to pass up...I just can't figure out why more people aren't buying in.
When you consider the sheer volume of cards in most of these slots, you have better shot at ROI with this break than probably any other break that has ever been run on FCB. Each team slot includes all the vets, all the green rookies from that team and all the parallels that are pulled. Those team sets sold on ebay plus the parallels sold separately should all net a positive return. The only hit or miss section that I see is in the prospect section. There are some duds, but there are some studs and some real nice sleepers. I believe you're looking at around 120 cards per prospect slot including parallels. Hit a top player and you're looking at a ROI of 400% or more. The chrome auto slots should all return a profit. With 420 boxes and 1 auto per box and 40 players you're looking at about 10 autos per player including parallels. You could hit a crap player and be out $20 with 10 autos or you could hit Aroldis Chapman and see a return of 600% or more. I could break down every slot and will if that's what people would like.
35 cases of content offers a tremendous value at the $125 slot price. This is a board that everyone believes is dominated by prospectors...so I'm wondering...why aren't the prospectors looking at this opportunity and going for it? I've seen break after break of Razor Rookie Retro sell out when the odds were you were going to get a very poor ROI. I saw a bunch of folks (including myself) rip Topps Triple Threads knowing the odds were really slim that you'd return a profit. Now folks are ripping Elite and realizing a negative return. Topps Chrome has been very disappointing. Why aren't more people interested in an opportunity that offers a much better chance at making a profit?
I'm in for 10 slots and may add more if I can afford it. I'm still trying to recoup from my Triple Threads fiasco.
If you're interested in joining the break, it's in the Baseball Box Break boards. I want to see this happen if for no other reason than to be able to watch 35 cases ripped live on Ustream.
