The box didn't yield a lot of cards per team, but everybody with the exception of the Twins added a few more cards to your team's stack.  The box of 1997 Pacific Invincible is up next and I feel like we'll make up for the few cards in the Emotion-XL box with some really good cards.  Stay tuned everyone!

May's Affordable Group Break is Now Open! Teams starting at $5.00 shipped!

Over the last few weeks it seems like a lot of bloggers are hosting group breaks and if you are like me you only have so much $$ to go around.  That said I hope you find this month's offerings and prices to your liking.  Teams start as low as $5.00 shipped.  We're busting 3 different boxes with possible bonuses depending on how successful the sign ups are.

**EDIT** I meant to mention that all the boxes are IN HAND so the quicker we fill this up the quicker we can start the fun! 

**5/13/11 EDIT** All the teams have been claimed! As promised the box of 1997 UD will be added to the break!

First box is 1995 Topps Series 1.  36 packs per box, 1 Spectra Light card per pack.

This box oughta beef up each team's stack plus give us one per pack insert.

The second box was a hobby exclusive, 1996 Fleer Emotion-XL.  18 packs per box.

I am very excited about this box.  The matte framed cards are reminiscent of the current paper frame cards from Gypsy Queen.  Inserts include Legion of Boom, Rare Bleed (pseudo 3D cards), D-Fense and N-Tense.

The third and final box (?) is 1997 Pacific Prism Invincible.  36 packs per box.

I've wanted to offer up a Pacific product ever since I started doing group breaks, but prices are all over the place and haven't always fit into my range until recently.  From the box's odds we should get 2 Platinum parallels (2:37) and 1 Sizzling Lumber (1:37).  Other inserts include Gate Attractions (1:73) and Sluggers & Hurlers (1:145).  Gems of the Diamond are seeded 2 cards per pack.

Depending on how many teams are claimed I should be able to throw in some bonus packs and or blaster(s).  If the whole break fills up I'll throw in a bonus box:

1997 Upper Deck Series 1.  
I believe this is the first year of game jersey cards!  28 packs per box, 12 cards per pack.  Inserts include:  Meet the Stars Trivia (1:3), Rock Solid Foundation (1:7), Power Package (1:23), Ticket to Stardom (1:24), Amazing Greats (1:138) - these are wooden cards!  Finally Game Jersey cards (1:2500).

To sign up please leave a comment to claim your team or teams.  Please submit your payment upon signing up.  The sooner people sign up & pay the sooner I can order the boxes.  Prices per team include shipping.  Payments can be sent via PayPal to cardboardcollections at yahoo.com  * Please note this is a new e-mail address than I have used in the past.  Please make sure to mark your payment as a GIFT and include your shipping address in the notes along with the team(s) you are claiming.
