HOLY ICHIRO!!!! 2013 Ichiro Immortals Collection.

The way you are doing it would create 1 winner prior to the opening of the product...nobody else in the break would even watch. Why would someone choose a 1/1 base over a /5? No sense.

By having 17 slots it is not a raffle, it is a true "team break". There are 16 subsets of autos and 1 set of base cards. Each person would be randomed into one of those subset slots. So prior to the break EVERYONE will have a shot at an auto. If you held the "booklet" subset I could see someone ponying up some money to buy it before the break. It just build the excitement better than a random and 5 out of 20 think they even need to watch.

Every slot has value in my break...in yours 5 slots have value.

Completely agree. This break is better value than any of the other ideas presented.


Do people actually believe that if this was a draft the number one slot would draft a base card over the auto? Come on.

Obviously no one would draft a base over the auto but what about spots 2, 3, 4 and 5? Those guys will want to pick which they'll want.

Who cares. I participated in the Presidential Cuts "break" and only one person got something.

If you want a system where you bid on spots, do it. I was trying to simplify things but obviously I'm getting a reaction of WTF for the idea.

Carry on.

I know that I am always "that guy"...

...but for a $700-800 product, the airbrushing kills it for me and SCREAMS cheap knock-off product.

The use of the same pics over and over again hurts the product as well in my not-so-humble opinion.

There are some really good looking cards on those sell sheets that could have been great.

 

[Juan Gris]

They could always double (or triple) up on autos by mistake. Better safe than sorry.

I read over what I said earlier and I sounded extremely dick-like and that wasn't my intention. Apologies for that.

Really I have no say in this and Andrew will do what he sees is best for his breakers. Hopefully it will be a monster pull for someone on this board.

 

[Leaf]

I assume the autos are on-card?

Yep!

Just like the 1 auto per box Ali release I will be waiting a week or so when the market is flooded and buy an Ichiro for several hundred less than the price of a box this way I choose the best looking card and save several hundred.

But you won't have a shot at the Ruth dual auto

lol damn you are right, maybe next time I just looked back and I actually bought 2 Alis for the price of a Box at release and then waited a bit when they dried up and made something like just under $90 after fees. I picked the better of the 2 and whamo

 

[SINFULONE]

Yeah, its called a Topps Heritage Case

Case = box?Err...right.

 

[jbhofmann]

Case = box?Err...right.

It was a joke...like how Heritage has turned into one

 

[allstars]

What would a person have to pull to recoup a $700 investment from this? I don't see it.

Misread that then.I've seen worse cards than Topps Heritage.

Your dealing with a break with almost everyone nets a 50% return or more and a few hit the jackpot. Throw on the fact the cards look amazing and that's a lot better than most rips.

 

[All In Cards]

Got my numbers. Now just have to see how we will group break it. Lots of good ideas here in the thread

Probably similar to opening any other wax at any other price point, win/lose/draw.

This.

To name a few though, the Ruth cut would do the trick

 

[Erich]

ATL just posted a $749.00 price per box. Just about where we thought.

 

[All In Cards]

$814.95 BO,
$750 atl
$700 chicagoland
$760 ebay

where do you all think these will end at

 

[bcubs]

Have they announced a release date?
