2016/17 Hit Parade Platinum. It comes today so i can wait
I'm always curious about which one of these is good or not. Greatest Hits has always been fun even if I've gotten 3 frigging Jeff Malone jersey autos of the same exact card so far. Not joking. I even tried ripping one of the Replay stickers to see how nice the card protector was. They don't come off easily btw. Definitely not smooth enough to re-use the protector on anything personal...though they are nice.
I've got First Class labels printed for everyone but:
Seafood Platter
Large Farva
Tigertown80
I think I e-mailed everyone of the 3 if TT80 is who I suspect they are.

I really want to pull the trigger on a 2017 Topps Chrome Baseball Jumbo Box.
They are $250 though.

LSUTigKyl donated his Wizards cards. First one from the break to reply will get them just to be fair.
Thanks again dude.
Absolute case has been ordered. I'll keep it here, so mods don't get annoyed with multiple threads. "The Blowout Team is at Panini Nationals" right now, so everything's gonna be about a week behind. Going to run that one stupid cheap @25 for easy math (multiple spots up to 5) as an apology for the delay this week getting the stuff in the mail. Cheapest I've seen that even from the bigger outlets is 30. I can tell you I legitimately have had a really rough week with very immediate family and immediate in-laws having serious procedures done. These things eat up a good 9-10 hours getting out. Thanks everyone for all the kind words about the break and being patient.
One thing that was cool was the karma gods had almost all teams with bad breaks in the giveaway winners column. I also mistakingly said in thread that Large Farva won the Redemption card, but it's actually shutupfarva who won the random. Who knew, there were 2 farvas in a 30 person break.

I'm so in for 3 teams.
I forget the multi team rule. Can you buy multiple teams up front or do you buy one and then have the opportunity to buy more if they go unclaimed?

They're yours.
All is well. Everyone's back at home and resting up as of today. No complaints and very grateful. Things turned out really well compared to how they could have gone, one in particular.
ETA @ Albert - I'm going to let people sign up first come, first serve with however many they want. Trying to give everyone a little bit of what they'd want. In this case, being able to get more than one team for this break. I didn't realize how many people were interested in multiple teams until I got e-mails or messages or posts. Same thing. Advance time.
Absolute's a good case to crack. They have a guaranteed glass card case hit insert. It's 15% of the case cost for what I've sold them for and that's not including a Lebron or Simmons one. They're really neat cards. You have to redeem them, but it's free from Panini in the mail and they come in a nice case. The way it's structured is nice, I can slow down and have a little more breathing time instead of trying not to take up everyone's night with a 3 hour break. I've cracked 3 personal cases at this point. It's a way better product on average than we saw the other day.
Regarding next big break, I'm still trying to plan that move. I want to crack football. I've been researching the products a little. I don't want to bust something just for the heck of it if it's going to be a waste of everyone's money... Dak is like Judge right now. He's keeping up the prices on 2016 himself and the odds of hitting him big do not justify the lack of discounts or inflated prices in the products. At least with baseball, there's a bunch of other guys with decent or better value.

I just let seafood platter know you're looking for his address

So are you still just buying slots in the multiple one or is it actual teams you're going after?
Posted on 7/28/17 at 7:21 am to ShamelessPel
I'll jump in the absolute break for 2 spots

It's spots. Sign up won't be for a little bit due to Nationals. I normally wait til it's in my home to do that.
Pick Your Team is really cool but you have to have a pretty massive clientele to make it work. There's basically a bottom line number for you, you assign percentage value to teams, etc. The only model I've seen truly be successful holds back the Lakers/Sixers to offset the cost of the cheaper teams that typically don't get bought. They have a live room of like 60-100+ people though to fill say 10 filler spots. Even then, the filler team carries so much weight in the break, it ends up costing the same or close as a random spot except instead of say a 1/3 chance at a really good team, you have like a 1/10 at the BEST team.
Or be big enough to just hold your nightly break lineup hostage by saying "we gotta fill this break guys" over and over. I don't have a lineup (more than a single break) nor the salesman esque bone in my body that can be that blunt, stubborn, and persistent.
I will also say, if you are going to PYT, you need to do filler to be fair. I've often wondered if certain sites clue certain people on when they're going to release a PYT without filler. Meaning teams like Yankees, Lakers, and Cowboys are able to be bought and normally snatched instantly.
Just some random musings into the world.

I bought a Panini Prestige Football rack pack from Target. Didn't pull much except a Fournette and Dalvin Cook RC
Posted on 7/28/17 at 10:34 am to AlbertMeansWell
I bought an optic box yesterday.
Auto Juan Hernangomez and 4 numbered cards. 5/80 smaller hits isn't bad.

Yeah, you're not gonna get much out of the Target and Wal-Mart sections outside of standard rookies

Retail packs suck for the most part

What did you pull?
Posted on 7/29/17 at 5:58 am to ShamelessPel
I don't think the Heat had anything of value. If there wasn't anything you can give my Heat away. Sorry I'm just getting back to you. It's been a crazy week and I'm sitting at the heliport right now.
Posted on 7/29/17 at 9:48 am to Large Farva
I'll take them if you don't want them. I think I recall a Haslem jersey from the Heat
Posted on 7/29/17 at 12:47 pm to Bigpoppat
I've been looking into football but it's so hard to justify it. Gold Standard Fournette rookie patch autos are only $100 on eBay for instance. We'd have to spike some insane stuff to justify the cost.
Unless a hot product rolls out with good value, will probably stick to MLB and NBA. I don't want to waste people's money.
I busted the Heat envelope. There's just that Haslem jersey to /99 and a couple of Tim Hardaway base to /999. I can send them to someone else if you'd like. Everyone's stuff is in the mail btw.

Which one is a better deal for the price, the baseball or basketball? I'm thinking of getting back into collecting. How strong will the NBA rookie class be? The ball kid, the kid from Kentucky and the kid from Washington seem like the best prospects whereas baseball has more prospects this year that seem to be killing it.
