ok off to work-out. Be back later.

Good luck! (I tend to say that to everyone who is off to work; probably says something about my attitude toward my own job... :? )

Morning all,
Anyone doing anything cool today?
I'm at work! I have a cool job ;)

Andrew, did that crappy bubble mailer shred all over the place? I was very unimpressed with those, and will not be buying them again.

Actually, Jesse, it did! :lol:

And the tiny little pieces of plastic got allllll over the place. Don't worry, though. Gave me an excuse to vacuum the floor (while cursing the manufacturer of said bubble envelope) :mrgreen:
Consider it snow from Canada!!
I could see them go before I sealed them, and I packed the cards in tight.

I had regular #000's before, for .30. Now these are .40, so I may as well buy #0's, which I can use for expedited to the US, in a 6 pack at walmart for $2.40. If Im worried about a card sliding, even though I bag everything, I can still pad with cardboard.
I cut up cheap / used mailers and fit cards in cut piece for added protection

Ok, ok. I misread his original post.

However, my attitude towards physical exercise is the same, so I stand by my original response... 8-)

12 spots for 12 jumbos
Draft for jumbos and GU

I think it would work better just drafting the teams for 12 slots, and then draft a pick order for the jumbos, unseen of course.

How many total teams are there. Divisible by 12?

I could go with that. Team draft for the regular-sized cards.
Then as the jumbos are pulled, Josh doesn't open them. He numbers them 1-12. Then the 12th guy to pick gets to pick the first pack, 11th picks the second, etc. This way the person doesn't know what has been pulled and it's still a gamble.

I could be wrong, but I opened a couple of these boxes and I don't remember the jumbo being wrapped. Seems like they are just sitting on top of the packs open. Anyone know for sure?

You can call me Milton
For the break we either do:
10 slots, team draft for everything.
Or
12 slots, draft the jumbos and all the other GU. 1-12 on the Jumbos and we'll reverse the draft order on the GU so whoever drafts last on the jumbos get first pick on the regular GU.

There are 30 teams so we can't divide by 12

I think that is the fairest/easiest way to do it. Everyone will walk out with something.

Yeah, it seems this will have to be a draft order break. If it was a ten box case it would be great, but being twelve, it puts a wrench in the system. I'm in for two in a draft for all.

Fixed it. I don't plan on driving to Wisconsin. I don't know about the other guys.

So if you want to do the Flair 12 box case draft with 12 slots add you name to the list.
One name = 1 slot.
Price per slot will be $37.50 with shipping and fees $36.25 gift. If getting more than one slot subtract $2.50 per slot after the first one.
