Wow. That is impressive. Is Jordan still an Upper Deck exclusive?

Jordan, Simmons, and Lebron. Oddly enough, it made the value of base Simmons and really 16-17 rookies in general go up because the only rare Simmons to collect are parallel base.

Also, apparently the crazy numbers on LBJ cards don't go through a lot of the time on eBay cause idiots are spending 8k they don't have and have to cancel the bid.

I hate it when someone on eBay backs out of a deal. I sold a James rookie after he won his first title. But didn't get much for it. I was a Hill and Jordan collector growing up.

What do those numbers mean next to the teams? Dollar amounts?

I think it means the number of those cases he has to open.

SHameless, how many people have signed up?

Zero. No one can sign up until 7 PM tonight to give everyone a fair shot to see this thread and get in before it fills.

Someone asked me to estimate the value of these teams for this break alone. I just spitballed some numbers for the purpose of maybe trying to trade for some of the higher sought after teams.

What do you think the low end looks like in value?

15-20? mixing and matching helps smooth it out a little because products that have almost nothing for a certain team hit wise aren't the only one your opening.

Question. Let's say you pull a card that has two different guys from two different teams and it's a double auto or double rookie card. Who would get that card?

bowmans best had an insert called mirror image. I used random.org to decide right or left on that one. Here, each individual card will be listed in random.org and randomed X times according to a dice roll. If there's four players, they're listed left to right, the one on top on the last random gets the card.

This will be done on camera at the end of the break.

Shameless, I just wanted to post to let you know I find your case breaks and thread running to be top notch. I have never held an interest in cards, not even when I was a kid, but these threads have opened me up to a hobby I've never known and I'm really digging it.

Keep up the good work and maybe I'll try to join one day.

Thanks man! I'm glad the non participants are enjoying as well. Hoops is gonna be more fun. That's my passion. You'll hear it on the stream clearly. I'm gonna try to keep it once every week or two. Nothing crazy but maybe can break some new releases as NFL and NBA come out. It's good for people to get in on the 16-17 stuff at a good price while they can. Some of these guys will become good players. I've held a large chunk of my autos and numbered rookies. No use selling low. 17-18 will be rolling out before you know it and so will 17 major NFL releases.

I'm going to see how the autos and stuff from my optic MLB breaks sell. If they do ok, I may give that one a go. Theres some logistical problems I have to figure out.

By the way, if anyone knows a distributor for these cases, please have them email me. Blowoutcards.com is great and all and is a good hub for pricing trends, but if I can get better, I can pass it down to the people. With a proper distributor we could be doing some crazy well priced breaks. I already do what I can and keep it cheap (this particular mixer would likely cost around $55 on a very big site or they'd throw in one box of National Treasures and charge $83), and add some flair by providing giveaways and stuff.

Any chance there will be another baseball one?

Idk what the demand is or what people on here are willing to spend, but it would be sick if we could maybe set something up to have one like monthly or something like that.
