Group Case Break Update

We are still trying to fill the teams to break a case of 2013-14 Panini Contenders Hockey.  If we can fill almost all teams/majority I will place the order but I can't do that unless we get much closer since it's quite an expensive case.

Here is where we stand so far on teams:

Rangers- Marie
Oilers - Suzy
Avalanche - Waxtopia
Penguins- Matt
Leafs -Wayne

Canadiens - Wayne
Red Wings - Dennis
Panthers - David

Blues - David

Please spread the word so we can fill this, and if you want a team just leave it in the comments.  Payment will be due once the order is placed and like previous breaks this will happen live with the video available for viewing later if you can't watch live.

Group Break Idea

We are thinking about doing a group break of 2013-14 Panini Contenders Hockey and we're wondering how many of you would be interested.  The sell sheet shows it is packed with hits per box and would be a fun break.

We are estimating the cost per team to be $48 including shipping to the US and $50 to Canada.

I will be picking the Rangers and Suzy the Oilers.  If you are interested and can commit to this please leave your team in the comments and you can send PayPal once we see how much interest we have.  If we get close enough to 30 teams, perhaps we can split the difference of teams not sold to cover the cost and decide what to do with hits from those teams after.

Let us know what you think.

Topps 60th Anniversary Auto Continuity Subject "C"



What do you guys think of the results from a case of this "high end" Topps product? Quality of players/hits? I'm curious to see what everyone thinks of the rookie selection.

Next Case Break..... Dibs!

So.... I know I said I probably wasn't going to be doing another case break anytime soon after the headache of running two separate ones for Series 2 but I think I got a good price on an upcoming product and want to run it by you guys.

First, there is going to be a new way to go about this whole thing. This is how to claim a team: You leave a comment claiming your team. You will have 2 weeks (and ONLY 2 weeks) to pay for the team(s) you claim. If you do not pay within that time frame your team will be available for someone else to take. No exceptions. You MUST include your team name and address in the payment.

The break will be 2011 Topps Finest. I am eliminating the following teams: Royals, Pirates, Diamondbacks, A's, Marlins, Padres. If you want one of those teams, you can buy them but I don't feel like begging people for months to take one of those so we just won't even worry about them.

Teams will cost $40 per team including shipping. Release date is September 27, 2011.

The teams that are claimed are:

Yankees
Cardinals
Rangers
Red Sox
Cubs
Blue Jays
Mariners
Indians
Giants
Dodgers
Phillies
Braves
Orioles
Nationals


If enough interest is shown by the claiming of teams, I will order the case this week. Please leave a comment with your team choice.

P.S. If you would prefer to break a case of Lineage for a higher buy-in but for more cards please let us know that, too. Here is the link to that product info, I posted this a while back and got little to no response about it but we'll try again. I have to get a more recent quote on the Lineage but figure around $50 per team for this product.

Case Break Information

The cases have been sorted out and the blog case has every team ready to ship except that most of you neglected to put your mailing address in the payment. Please send me your mailing address AND the team name AND break you were in.

I mailed out half of the teams in the blog case break that had addresses and only teams in that case. I am going to try and mail the rest of the teams on Monday providing I get everyone's address.

Thanks all.

Facebook Case Break Results Part 3 - THE MOJO!

Drumroll please...



Thank you.

Here is the mojo.


Leather Name Plate




Black Leather Name Plate /99




Game Used cards




Autograph cards



That concludes the scans from each break. I am going to try and put together some thoughts on the set having seen enough of it later, but for now I am going to work on sorting all the cards. I am hoping to get them all out early next week.

Facebook Case Break Results Part 2

Next up we will take a look at the Diamond Anniversary, gold parallels, and Kimball Champion mini cards. I will save the "mojo" for last as always.


Diamond Anniversary











Gold parallels










Kimball Champions





The next post will be the hits from this case. I will not be scanning any of the other inserts to save time to sort the cards.
