What Is a Case Break?

I front the money for the cards. I front the money for the supplies, including various sizes of toploaders and mags to fit the jersey cards and thicker card stock. I pay for shipping. I sort the cards and ship them out.

You sit back, watch, and wait with baited breath hoping the team you randomly draw hits some nice cards. You will receive every card for your assigned team, even the base cards.

This will be a random team break. Every person who participates in the break will receive a team based on random.org. The organizer will roll two dice to see how many times we use the random generator. We will randomly generate TWICE. The first time will be to get the order of the participants. The second time will get the order of the teams. I will demonstrate beforehand how this works, so no one suspects funny business.

The Spots

There will be 29 spots (1 combo) that will be randomed. The team the checklist says the card goes to will be awarded any the card. Typically, this is always the team pictured on the card.


I will also be using gloves to touch any of the cards. Hopefully not the white ones. We'll see what I can accomplish!

As always, there will be some surprises and some giveaways.

How does the sign up process work? Do you start a thread tomorrow and the first 30 people to say they are in, get spots?

i want in on this. hopefully i remember to post tomorrow . is there some way you can post the cards that are available like you did for the baseball break? seems a little more difficult because it looks like there is more than just one case, so i dunno if that's plausible.

also, does anyone have an estimate of team values for this? is it pretty much in line with which teams have valuable players IRL?

what are the odds that you get your money's worth? basically, how many teams are likely to get $47 worth of cards out of these sets? i know it's impossible to say for sure with the luck of the draw, but im just looking for some estimates to get an idea of what's going on.

Shameless are you going to update the list before breaking to avoid confusion? Looks like we have at least two confirmed trades so far
