SIGN UP LIST ON 3rd POST.

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING GROUP BREAK HITLIST IF YOU PLAN ON TRADING

1h 45m mark for hits

Checklist by Team

Giveaway Autos List

Origins

We brought up this idea awhile back of doing an MSB sponsored case break. I asked the MSB if they would rather do baseball or basketball. The overwhelming response, despite basketball being much cheaper, was to roll baseball. So here we are, case in hand, ready to do.

What Is a Case Break?

Someone (me) front the money to purchase a full case of cards. In this case, the case we will be opening will be 2016 Bowman's Best.

You will receive every card for your assigned team, even the base cards.

Blowout Cards - Price, Details, and Checklist

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 30 spots that will be randomed. In an effort to make this a little more balanced, the Orioles/Reds will take up one spot. Further, AARON JUDGE will be his OWN SPOT. The other Yankees will take up another spot.

Angels
Astros
Athletics
Blue Jays
Braves
Brewers
Cardinals
Cubs
Dbacks
Dodgers
Giants
Indians
JUDGE
Mariners
Marlins
Mets
Nationals
Orioles/Reds
Padres
Phillies
Pirates
Rangers
Rays
Red Sox
Rockies
Royals
Tigers
Twins
White Sox
Yankees

I will also be using gloves to touch any of the cards. Below is the case and supplies.

What's In the Case?
Configuration: 8 boxes per case. 12 packs per box. 5 cards per pack.

**LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING AARON JUDGE AUTOGRAPH CARDS:
- BEST OF 2016 AUTOGRAPH W/ PARALLELS #'D TO 99, 50, 25, 5 & 1/1

2016 Bowman's Best Baseball will feature the top MLB veterans, rookies, prospects and MLB draft picks of 2016, building on last year's successful relaunch.

New this year are additional low-numbered autographed hits, as well as an MLB prospect subset driven by the renowned Baseball Publication Baseball America.

2016 Bowman's Best Baseball will arrive in Hobby stores in December '16, marking the exciting conclusion of the year's Bowman portfolio.

Look for FOUR autograph cards per master box.

Almost all autographs are ON-CARD in this set, meaning the players signed the cards themselves instead of signing a batch of stickers and putting it on a card.

There will be 32 autographs in total in the case. Judge autos alone run upwards of $100 for the most common ones. His common cards sell for $7-8/each. Putting him with Torres, etc would just be unfair, and I want as much fun as possible out of this.

When/Where/Price


When - This will be done Saturday Night 7/15/17 at 8PM CST. If you miss it, it will be uploaded onto YouTube.

Where - You can watch the live stream on Breakers.TV. There will also be a second stream such as twitch which will allow the transference of the video to YouTube.

Price - $48.00. This covers the cost of the case, the cost it will take me to ship the items, the shipping items themselves, and the items that are required to protect the cards.

Payment is due by 2PM the day of the break.

PayPal to shamelesspel@gmail.com

Please for the love of god make sure your paypal address (physical address for shipping) is up to date or e-mail me if it isn't.

BONUS courtesy of my personal stash. EVERY single person will receive at least one autograph card from BB16, regardless of whether they hit an autograph or not. The Diamondbacks and the Orioles/Reds will receive two. These autos will be associated with their teams BEFORE the randomization is done, so no one can claim I'm playing favorites.

At the very end of the break, I will take all 30 spots, roll the dice, and use the randomizer one last time to give away an Alex Bregman Topps Finest Rookie Auto #/150.

Lastly, I'm probably borderline crazy for allowing the MSB into my home. I just want everyone to have fun. These things are really entertaining. It's a TON of cards. If all goes well, I'd like to try a 16-17 basketball one next that is a little bit cheaper. Baseball just runs more expensive.

This is my home. I know I'm not rich. Make jokes, I can take it. But be tasteful. I can read the chat on breakers and there will be conversing on my end along with being able to talk to the other breakers.

This isn't Bowman. It's Bowman's Best, which has been getting more expensive by the case almost every couple of weeks now.

This is cool and I'm going to follow this thread, but won't be participating. First off I really don't have the money to blow on it unfortunately and also follow baseball the least of the 3 major sports. I'd seriously contemplate it if it was round ball.


Good luck fellas.

Hope I can catch some of it real time and see some of you guys get some solid pulls.

Yes, he did.

ETA: IIRC, Braves, Astros and Cubs always seemed like the hottest teams in Bowman's Best from last year.

I'll open myself and pray I get a couple Judge autos if this doesn't work or I can sell the individual boxes to make my money back if I wanted.

Not much sunk money at the end of the day. I just wanted to do something fun for the MSB. Hence, me giving away probably $200+ in autos to make sure every has an auto card.

$48.00.

For those curious, I make next to nothing, if anything. Each spot for the case alone is $38.00. Shipping is a nice $5-6 each. The cost of the hard cases, the sleeves, etc is probably $1-2 per person. So even at $45.00, I still have to sort all of the cards, print labels, tidy them up. Throw in the fact that I'm throwing in 32 autographs so everyone gets something cool and I'm breaking even at best. That Bregman cost me $40 on ebay.

Like I said, the very first break I did was a blast. Getting to do it with the MSB family I think would just be fun, especially if there are some first timers.

And I do want to do a hoops one if this goes well. A case of 16-17 Absolute or Gold standard runs really cheap and has some really cool pulls. Absolute would run about $28-30 a person.
