Are you going to set up a transaction?

Hi Mike, I might be interested in a few draft team spots...can you confirm that there are 7 more drafts spots at $15 per spot ($105 total)?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, I'll create transactions for all participants prior to the break.

Sorry, draft spots are only available to members who have a full spot in the break already.

Hi Mike, I'll take a 2nd draft spot, please, if available.

Ok, here are some options for November's break. Let me know what y'all think!

I'll keep track of the votes here as they come in. Also, if anything we choose ends up as a black Friday deal I'll just add packs, or boxes to fill the budget, which is around $695 this month thanks to the format change.

Option 1

2019 Topps Heritage High Number (1 hit)
2019 Topps Update (1 hit)
2020 Topps Gypsy Queen (2 autos)
2020 Topps Gold Label (1 auto)
2020 Topps Update Series Jumbo PACK

Option 2

2019 Topps Heritage High Number (1 hit)
2019 Topps Archives (2 autos)
2020 Bowman Sterling (5 autos)
2020 Topps Update Series (1 hit)
2020 Topps Update Series Jumbo PACK

Option 3

2019 Bowman Chrome (2 autos)
2019 Topps Series 1 Jumbo (1 auto + 2 relics)
2020 Topps Gypsy Queen (2 autos)
2020 Topps Gold Label (1 auto)

 

[LarryG]

I'll vote for Option 1 as first choice; Option 2 is OK too.

 

[metsman1986]

I'll go with option 1...........Thanks..........Mike

Just a reminder payments should have been paid on Friday. I'll send PM reminders to those who haven't paid with their totals. Looking to get the boxes ordered by tomorrow morning so we can break later in the week. My PayPal address is in the first post.

 

[Mike121]

The boxes have been ordered. I paid for priority shipping, so they should still be here by Friday.

Also, since all the draft spots have been paid for, I went ahead and did the random for those. Here are the results, followed by the draft order and available teams.

There were 6 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

You have randomized this list 3 times.

Draft order

1. franklinguy52 - Giants
2. LarryG - Rockies
3. LarryG - Rays
4. franklinguy52 - Athletics
5. kpit1978 - Orioles
6. OldNewRips - Tigers

Available teams

Arizona Diamondbacks
Cleveland Indians
Kansas City Royals
Miami Marlins
Minnesota Twins
Pittsburgh Pirates

 

[LarryG]

I'll draft the Rockies and Rays

 

[Mike121]

So the order was flagged again this month (this has happened to me before) so I thought we weren't going to get the cards by tomorrow, even though I paid for fast processing and 2 day shipping. I emailed them and asked if they'd downgrade the shipping to standard and refund me the difference plus the processing, since there was no way they'd make it here this week now anyways. Instead, they upgraded the shipping to next day and got them out today, free of charge. So, looks like we should still get the cards tomorrow. How does a Friday evening break sound to everyone? Let's say around 8:30PM EST?

Also, big props to DACardWorld for taking care of this and still getting the cards here on time.

 

[LarryG]

What will we be breaking?

 

[Mike121]

What will we be breaking?

Ha! Great question! I didn't post the voting results on either site. I'm so over this month!

Anyways, option 3 was the winner, with twice as many votes as either of the other options, so here's what we'll be breaking:

2019 Bowman Chrome (2 autos)
2019 Topps Series 1 Jumbo (1 auto + 2 relics)
2020 Topps Gypsy Queen (2 autos)
2020 Topps Gold Label (1 auto)

 

[Mike121]

Just a reminder that, assuming the cards arrive, break day is today at 8:30PM EST!

 

[Mike121]

Cards have been delivered! I'll see y'all tonight, again, at 8:30pm EST.

Definitely not the best break we've had. I was definitely hoping for a better break on our first joint break. I'll get the videos uploaded tonight, scans posted tomorrow, and all the cards in the mail on Monday.

I'll also get the December thread up tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone, for joining!

 

[Mike121]

Here are the videos from the break, in the order they were busted.

 

[LarryG]

Not bad at all. Some nice cards in there. I like the multi-year mixer style. Look forward to the next one.
