Obviously would have to get the box prices way down though, just to be clear. I agree that $500 a box is INSANE and no happening.

For a three box break, I would pay $40 for the White Sox... if we are talking $40 per team. I bet if you tried you could do it... might have to be like some serious guys putting up for a specific team and then doing a random.org for a draft like system for the balance teams... for example, I would never do it unless I had the rights to Belle or White Sox at least. I would pay up for that though... not sure why some people wouldn't. Fun and you get a shot at getting your guy on a diffractor which is the gamble and would pay for the buy-in.
Just curious, what is the price tag for a Gywnn diffractor? I think you have to take into account that when thinking about these box breaks... at least I am when it comes to Belle. Not to mention if you were to get super lucky and get a base pattern you've been in search of.3 boxes of 1998 Tek Break?? Hmmm...
What would I pay for 3 common Gwynn base Teks (while knowing an 80% chance I will not need them) and a 5% (4/90) chance of a Gwynn diffractor?
$10? $15? No higher... I'd pay even less if forced to take the entire Padres team!
Now, if I had Jeff King? We're talking big bucks!!!!!!!
