Spectra Checklist
Case is in there like swim wear. As promised, we're back.
Entry: $40/spot - covers everything. First class bubble wrap shipping. Giveaways etc.
PayPal - shamelesspel@gmail.com - entry is due before we do the teams random
Break: Thurs 10/26 6:30PM
This will be a quicker break than normal just in time for hoops to kick off the next night. 6 boxes. 10 cards. 7 hits a box.
Ben Simmons base is in this product. Like any limited prints from the mid+ tiers, these cards are worth a good bit.
I'm excited. As always I'm trying to find ways to somehow be cheaper than the big boys and more comprehensive and interactive.
Good luck to all that participate! Dying to pull some heat.
Next break will likely be a more base heavy break in the interest of keeping things different. Though not necessarily better values, I will do my best to find the best bang out there to have a solidly long and fun break with.

Here's some of my personal Spectra collection. Unlike football, the autos are on card for the true RC line, the Hields on the left.

So the next case has been ordered. We will be breaking 2016-17 NBA Spectra. This is essentially Gold Standard (which received such good reactions from you guys) on steroids. Plenty of great veteran auto relics (way less complete crap autos) and rookie autos to be had. 6 boxes. 10 cards per box. 7 hits per box. Another benefit to Spectra is the fact that there are Ben Simmons base cards worth quite a pretty penny. The quality of the cards that I've encountered has been superb, another thing GS and Spectra have in common as opposed to the Noirs, Immacs, NTs of the world.
The checklist is far superior to GS. There are way fewer random "legends" taking up autos and junk bench guys. The cards are also very aesthetically pleasing as each different color has a different refractor design. This product was released post trade deadline as well so some of the players have their new teams as cards. Some have both. The card will go to the team SHOWN on the card (see: Buddy Hield).
Spots will only be $46/each. They will be first come, first serve with a maximum of 4 teams per participant. We will randomize and do everything like we have in the past. Further details to follow
Btw the next product we do WILL be a higher card count, heavier base product. Gold Standard was enjoyed so much, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to break Spectra. I'm personally hoping the winding down of the baseball season will allow us to creep in with some Bowman Chrome action. The gloves are back baby. Let's do work folks and pull some filth

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.

Questions:
1. How much does it cost?
2. How is it decided what team each person gets?
3. I've been out of the cards game for about 20 years lol..How easy is it to sell these cards?

what is cost and what do you get?

It's important to note that like nobody from 2010 draft is still playing on the same team. In today's NBA, team allegiance shouldn't be too important for Rookie cards. They likely won't be there for the full prime anyway.
So what I'm saying is don't worry about getting "your team" necessarily.

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.
