Affordable Group Break Idea

**09/03/16 UPDATE **

This Affordable Group Break will be happening!! I've listened and added a mystery box of a 2016 Topps product to add more diversity. This box will add $2 to each two team slot, however if you were interested before at the $15 price tag just talk to me. Otherwise the price will be $17 plus $5 shipping for each two team slot. You pick the first team and Random.org will choose your second team from the teams that are unclaimed. Boxes will arrive on Friday, 09/09/16 and we'll go live on my blog's Facebook page Friday night. Time TBD. If you have already chimed in I'll pul you down for that team. A new signup post will occur later today so if you want to jump in leave a comment here or wait for the official sign up post. If you've ever participated in one of my previous breaks, you should know that I do my best to make sure no one leaves empty handed. Thank you and I look forward to getting this started next week!


It's been awhile since I've hosted a group break and I'm kind itching to open something new, specifically something I'd normally not purchase. I got an email this evening from Dave and Adam and they are having a labor day sale so it got me thinking of hosting a break.

I was looking at 2 boxes of 2016 Topps Strata. That would give us 4 guaranteed hits, 2 autographs and 2 relics. The relics remind me of Topps Unique from a few years ago. I think it could be fun.

If we do a two team slot system where one team is chosen and the other is randomized, slots would only be $10 each plus $5 shipping. Discounts available for purchases of 2 or more slots.

Boxes could be ripped live on my Facebook page for this blog, along with the randomization of the 2nd teams. Results would be summed up in a post or two on the blog for those who are anti-Facebook.

As the host and resident Braves fan, my team would be off the table, though all the others would be up for grabs. So, if I can find at least 8 others that would be willing to participate I think we can pull this off.

Not ready to start sign-ups now as I'm try to gauge interest. If this sounds like something you be up for let me know ASAP as the sale ends the day after Labor Day.

  3. I'm in for the Royals. Are there any other cheap boxes or blasters of another product we could add to add a little more volume to the break?

    1. I'm in favor of two boxes, rather than one, obviously.

  4. I would be in for the two box deal as long as someone doesn't beat me to the Cardinals

  6. Looks like it would be a fun little break, unfortunately it looks really lite for Phillies so I'd have to say no.

  7. The other boxes on sale didn't grab my attention, unless we went with a Panini product from 2014. But I could grab a blaster of something and toss it in to give it a little diversity.

  8. You got it! I've got a 3rd box ordered for the break and it only increases the price for a two team slot by $2!

  9. If nobody else bites, I would buy the Dodgers, too, but don't want to steal that from a true Dodgers fan.
