re: MSB Case Break Trading Cards - Let's Do One

In for a Baseball one

Definitely baseball

Probably basketball

Following for baseball

in for any sport, i'd bet on 2 roaches racing, so donating cash for this is dynomite.

Ok, so this seems like a sure-fire go. I will purchase the case of Bowman's Best and we will go from there. They're aesthetically pleasing cards and each case will come with 32 autos, providing lots to go around. I will ship all base cards as well as throw in some random autos to hitless (no autos or sequentially numbered parallels) teams to random off.

To address the random teams business. Specific teams cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than others. The Yankees/Astros/Phillies may have a hard time selling at their price point. Most breakers hold back the Yankees as "filler" to entice people to fill the breaks. We're talking someone wanting to drop $200 on a case break for one team. I also know a good bit about breaking and could use the tiered pricing from other breakers, but can't guarantee the same price point.

The easiest way is to just random everyone off on random.org to ensure no foul play. Since this is kind of a first-time thing for a lot of people here, there are two options:

1) I do the random before the case break to let people have time to trade teams. I'm sure collectors would be more than willing to trade the Cardinals to someone for a more valuable team for instance. I would need all Paypal payments (or at least 90+%) days ahead of time, so person A doesn't get pissed off they got the Diamondbacks and says F this. If I end up eating a team or two, I'm not gonna cry about it, but I don't want to eat 15 teams.

2) The random happens like any other break, right before we break the case. Paypal payments come in that day before the random or sooner I can allow a 5 minute window for trades before the break, but it will allow alot less time for people to trade off teams.

I am ok with either. My MSB brethren are not going to screw me, and I'm legit excited. This is happening. I am going to buy the case. Expect Sign-ups to be happening in the next week or so while the case ships. Keep an eye out.

I know this is long winded, but I wanted to explain best possible to the people who are slightly fuzzier on what's going on. Let's hope this goes well and we get some sweet pulls, and get to move on to some other sports others might like to. But you baseballers win!

I'd be OK for random teams. What do you use to randomly pick?

You roll dice to determine the amount of times it randoms the list of spots. Say John Johnson buys 3 spots, his name is on it three times.

Then you random AGAIN the teams by the number of the dice. You put 1-30 from the random on one half of the excel document. You put the other teams random on the 2nd half of the excel document. This is shown ON SCREEN as well LIVE. I have not seen a single breaker not use random.org.

Sounds great. Thanks for coordinating. There is definitely a lot of interest here.

Shameless???

I was wondering about this as well.
