Everything went out Saturday. I ordered 120 top loaders and they were too small so I had to order 138s and get them shipped. Sorry for the delay. I had to yell at the eBay guy for taking so long.

Here’s the deal guys. First off, thank you for those that participated in the last break. I’ve said it 10 times and can’t say it enough.
This takes a lot of my time, money, and energy. I enjoy the hell out of putting on that stream and ripping cards. But I’m not sure what more I can do. When I’m literally paying my money to do breaks, it becomes a lot less fun and a lot more stressful (dealing with the top loader issue didn’t help). I priced the last one to a price that no major breaker would touch. I do giveaways with actual decent cards, some even very good cards at the top, every time. These breakers, even the eBay ones, don’t give jack away in a single break. I’ve tried my best to bring an experience that’s the most affordable and gives a chance at some neat stuff, including my own cards so you even have a second life in the break. I’m out of ideas.
Lastly, I hate having to lean on my regulars to get this shite done. I appreciate it a lot, but I don’t want people to be ganking spots just to make sure a break goes that’s been filling for two weeks.
I probably will do another. It will probably be a cheap one. Those aren’t my favorite cards to bust as quantity isn’t always better than quality, but as always I’ll do my best to bring the value.
I apologize for the lack of communication. Thanks everyone again that participated. We’ll see how the next one goes. If it’s like this one, it will likely be the last.
Just sharing my thought process with all you guys that really follow it. I’ll stay hopeful we can get back on track and it’ll be fun again.

For the amateur person, the last one was tough. One, it was basketball. I think you would have more interest with baseball or mixed like the previous one. Two, it was one box, so outside of Thon Maker, some people got one card, some got zero. Just trying to add some thoughts on why it was hard to fill.
Just being honest. My son and I really enjoy it. And thanks again for doing it.

Any breaks planned?
At the current time? No. I'm trying to get the price point down, so more people want to participate and hopefully run baseball. Problem is, the amount of baseball cards lower than the last break is few and far between with a drop off in quality that's tough.
I've been keeping an eye on 15-16 Hoops as well as 17-18. 15-16 is ridiculously costly right now thanks to Giannis. Could probably do some cheap Revolution from that year. Lonzo fever cooling helped the prices *some* on 17-18. That's a possibility as more products get rolled out.
Might be able to do 15-16 Rev and 16-17 Rev to combine the 2 years. Revolution is a better deal I'm noticing than I originally thought. The hits aren't plentiful, but the rookie base card variations and parallels are pretty decent hits. It's funny, it was a product I wasn't a fan of, but have come around on it, trying to actually collect some. Part of the game is trying to figure out the items that aren't heavily collected now. Inserts supplanted rookie cards from the 90s for instance. I like products like Court Kings and Revolution. Nice low parallels, good looking cards, and cheap rips.

I enjoy watching the breaks. I hope another fills.
