October 2011 Affordable Group Break - $7 for a chance at a Pujols/Ichiro RC?!

CANCELED

 

 

This month's group break is once again brought to you by the fine folks at Baseball Card Exchange.  Last month when I was selecting the boxes I noticed they had restocked some 2001 product.  I haven't been able to feature anything from that year thanks to Albert Pujols and Ichiro's RCs driving the prices upward.  However the prices for some of the 2001 product were very reasonable and I had to at least feature one box.  I'm looking forward to this break again and I hope you are too.  Keep reading for a breakdown of what we're busting along with all the rules.

Originally I had planned to offer a box of 2001 Fleer Premium.  I however later found out the Pujols RC was a redemption and the last thing I wanted to do was end up possibly pulling an expired redemption card.  I hope everyone is cool w/ the 2001 Triple Crown instead.

This break will only set you back $7.00 shipped per team!  We need to fill up this break as I can't afford to eat any teams.  I will give you a $1.00 discount for each additional team if you want to claim more than one.  If we happen to get lucky and pull either a Albert Pujols or Ichiro RC the card will be randomed off to ALL participants at the end of the break.  I felt this was the best way as it would give everyone a shot at the card(s) - not just the person claiming the Cardinals or Mariners.  The more teams you claim the more chances you have landing one of the possible RCs! 

All boxes will be opened on video with a recap post to follow featuring scans of all the hits and inserts.  I also plan to throw in several bonus packs once the break has completely filled up!

The faster you pay the quicker I can have the boxes ordered and we can start the break.  To claim your team please leave a comment with your requested team(s) and then please submit your gift payment via PayPal to cardboardcollections at yahoo dot net.  Due to PayPal cracking down on gift payments PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN SUBJECT LINE OR COMMENT BOX!  I already have address for most of the "regulars", but please e-mail me your full mailing address and the team you claimed after payment is sent.
