Can you tell me what would type of hits would be worth in this open? Just a general idea like decent hit and big hit.

There's on card jersey rookie autos 1 per box (12 boxes). A good chunk of on-card vet autos.So an D. Murray/Jaylen Brown/Maker/Brogdon = decent hits. Spiking a base Simmons is an easy 1k as there are only 25 total to chase in the entire product (26 if you count the Gold Card), Kobe/Ingram would be bigger hits. Anything Aaron Judge/Cody Bellinger, especially autos/parallels or even the bubble refractors out of the special packs in the blasters.

ETA - Team pairings are starting to go up btw. Putting the great baseball teams with the bad basketball ones. I honestly thought this would be a great idea for trading card collectors. Would make trading for your team much easier. Maybe there just isn't enough two spot collectors. We'll see. That would be a bummer, but mostly because I was looking forward to a unique take on a break and an interesting break event.

In. Possible multiple spots if available


If anyone wants multiples, just post so. I'll bump out if need be, but I'm thinking mults will get it done.

I really want to break this. Not for pride in the idea or money, just for sheer entertainment. There's a lot of cards on that table, and I think I'll be fun pulling for two separate teams.

I would be in for a team but I'm in France until Thursday and not sure when I'll be able to connect back to WiFi.
Whatever you want/need shameless, you've been good to us. I'll try to check this thread when I get to my hotel later.

Have you ever did/seen a case break where you are given an order not a team/player? Like if I get 5th spot, I will receive the 5th hit no matter what? That way everyone is super excited for the Simmons / judge cards because there number gives them a chance

Also you could limit it to 12 players or whatever amount sign up and then we just equally pitch in

And you could participate too because no one could make a case that your number 4 spot is any better than any other number and you can't see into packs so it's not like you could rig it

Me participating in breaks is super sketchy no matter what. Trust me I wish I could, but it's just not feasible. If anything really cool happens to me, it just looks bad. There's no way for me to get around that.

I could do something along the lines of a hit draft. Spots would obviously be more expensive cause it would be less people. The biggest problem there is needing people to be there.

Your random order hit thing same principle. Less spots to make sure it goes around a few times. More expensive. I can't control what's in the boxes.

My giveaways are essentially me trying to do what you're suggesting. Due to the nature of this one, I have my own Bellis, Judge, Bregs, benintendi, Swanson, monads rookie cards. The giveaway was going to be much deeper on this one.

3x beli Bowman Platinum RC (1 card)
1x Judge Bowman Platinum RC (1 card)
Bregs Bowman Platinum die cut Insert auto /35
Michael Thomas on card Limited RPA
Michael Thomas rookie patch from NT
5x Bregs RC (3 cards)
4x Swanson RC (3 cards)
3x Benintendi RC (3 cards)

Some other random autos I have here of NBA/MLB stuff. We'll see. If this doesn't fill I have decisions to make. Like I said, I always get stuff I don't mind breaking myself. Maybe I'll offer personal boxes with free shipping and sleeving for the cards. Who knows. I put a lot of effort into trying to even out the playing field of random spots. This is the exact scenario of why I don't want to break football though. I'm ok with whatever happens here but if I got stuck with a full case of NFL id not be excited at all about that prospect.

This is looking grim bigpoppat. Will probably call it off here at the end of the night. We're not even halfway there and that's with one guy taking 4 spots.

Devils,

You mentioned possible mults. I'm trying to figure out whether to keep pushing, so let me know what you're down for if you can bud.

I'm gonna wait til midnight/early morning to see where we stand and if we're in striking distance.
