Hey guys,

I hate to have to do this but I'm going to give this a couple more days and then I'm going to shut it down if it does not fill up so more. Right now we need about $500 more in players sold just so we can get the cases. For some reason 2007 Masterpieces went up about $75 since the thread went up.

We have come so far too

Thinking about tackling 2006 Flair Showcase to chase a Letterman (real patches, not fake). Cases are super cheap. What is everyone's consensus.

Again, I'll give it a couple more days, but I do not see this happening.

I would definitely be in for that one. Do you think you will try Ginter when it comes out?

 

[markakis8]

I suppose I could if there is enough interest. The problem with Ginter is there are so many non-baseball cards that I'm not sure how much attention it would get.

I guess I could lump them together and just say "non baseball cards"

Those could be like the hollywood relics or YSL. There might be several different categories of those that would sell for a lot.

IM in for whatever you decide

I'm in for whatever. I'm always good for Hanley, Billingsley, and Shoppach and usually a couple others.

 

[markakis8]

Shoppach is a "RC" in Flair, isn't he? Wait, aren't all three of your guys "RC" in that set?

Yea. Bills only has an insert in that set though. Who knows, maybe you'll pull a printing plate of it. I still need the base Hanley RC and then both versions of the Legacy cards of Shoppach and Hanley.

 

[prospectorgems]

I am in for whatever, all Brewers of course.

 

[jdpreas]

I do think that if you scratch this. People who had certain players picked here or team pref. Should get first dibs. IMOP

I agree. Basically just transfer over whatever players were in this to the next product and if they don't want them, they can post.

 

[markakis8]

i have no problems doing this. i may have to scratch this break today. i guess i should try to keep the player breaks $600 and under. We needed $1300 just to GET these cases, let alone cover the shipping, fees, and supplies.

With Showcase players will be as low as $3 which will be nice (especially with discounts!)

[Captain Feathersword]

If you switch to another case you can make Chase Utley available to anyone. I'm not planning on being in the next break but thanks for the opportunity on this one.

 

[bouwob]

just a thought,

With any player break you will likly lose out on most of the scrubs. Have you ever thought of offereing teams and players? The teams would get a discount and once asked for, would lock all players on that team.

If someone buys a team after a player or players from that team are already sold, the person buying the team would get an extended discount for not getting said players and get everyone on that team except for the players that were bought out.

This should speed up the buy out process and still leave people like myself the opportunity to by a single player since I am not interested in anything else.

 

[prospectorgems]

Going along with the "Team Theme", on the Football Box breaks there is someone that does random breaks and you just keep your team from thread to thread unless you opt out therefore giving someone else a chance to get in and somewhere down the line you may even get your team back if someone else opts out.

I know I would be up for any keeper team breaks from here on out and I am sure there are several others. And with the opting out option, it doesn't mean anyone has to actually stay in if they want to get out.

 

[markakis8]

it's not a bad idea at all. i will look into it. it is just a matter of cranking numbers out i suppose. thanks for the input.
