2010 Secret Santa--Signups and Discussion UPDATED!!

[tonsofcommons]

I didn't get a lot of people asking for anything besides baseball.

"Final" count

Low- 13
Mid- 11
High- 14

I think we should do 1 final push this weekend for more people and call it good on Sunday night at 7 CST.

Also, I went back through everything and saw that we hadn't decided on a basis for value.

Blanning- Can you put a poll at the top of this thread to see what everyone thinks. Book v Cash value. First one to 10 votes is the basis.

I will put a post on the main page campaigning for more people.

Thanks for everyone who has signed up so far.

Give it thru Sunday Eddie. Also, we are gonna do book value. I think thats easier to gauge rather than cash value. Example.......

As volatile as the market is now, a guy could conceivable buy in on a card and pay 100 dollars for it now. By the time he ships and the victim receives, the card could have dropped in value to say 60 or 75 bucks and the victim would be pissed about it not being a 100 dollar "cash value" card.


We are going with book value.


Enjoy

People are gonna push of dead cards with high bv and low cv this way. I see more bitching at the low and mid levels this year. I know most of the high end guys will end up doing cv as they trade that way.

Hi Guys. I appreciate everyone (Blan and Tonsofcommons) for running it this year. With that said I will be droping out if its BV as I have my reasons. I just want to be honest and not beat around the bush. If it changes to CV then please let me know. Another option could be (Since not many people in this year) you could PM everyone invovled and find out if they want CV or BV and pair up those folks with the same interest (Thats if it matches). I know you guys have a lot on your plate but just thought I would throw that out there. I apologize for droping out so late but I just read the changes. Good luck everyone.

Not sure if they will let you with an MSF designation though, Thats going to be really tough as you will probably have to send a mod the cards to verify and approve then send out to the victim.

 

[craiger122003]

Blanning : When will the names go out? Thanks

 

[blanning71]

Hopefully we will have everything set up and ready to go out tomorrow. If not it will be Tuesday.

 

[blanning71]

Josh, I'm sorry but I don't think we can allow you in this year. Maybe next year.

 

[Mr.Whipple]

I will stay in the SS, Hope my bad feelings about people get boned are nothing but bad feelings. Hopefully we get our victimes very soon.

 

[craiger122003]

If Marro pulls out that will leave high end uneven so drop my high end then

Hopefully we get our victims by tomorrow, got some trade talks in process and hopefully I can make some trades for my victims. The prospector collectors are goons be the toughest for me, really don't know that market well.
