30 Day Baseball Card Challenge - Day 19


30 DAY BASEBALL CARD CHALLENGE
DAY 19
A favorite card from a country other than the United States



I don't know about other bloggers, but today's challenge was just that...a challenge. Thankfully however I remembered that a contact that lived in Japan sent over a few packs of Japanese baseball cards with a vintage Japanese Transformer I had bought. Much to my chagrin this card of Ichiro was inside one of the packs. I think this one is from 1999. It was the only player in the pack that I had ever heard of.

I'm such a tease!

Ok, get your head out of the gutter!  I wanted to gauge interest on my next break.  Would you guys and gals out there be interested in a break that would potentially give us 2 shots at either a Albert Pujols and/or Ichiro RCs?  In addition to that it looks like the 4 boxes I've chosen would also yield 8 hits + other inserts.  We'd also get about around 500+ base cards.  Sound interesting?

**EDIT** hiflew of Cards from the Quarry suggested a great idea!Two different scenarios for sign-ups.  Looking for feedback here please.  In the past I've opened the breaks up to all 30 teams and have had trouble filling them all.  I can't afford to eat teams...period.  However I'm game to whatever everyone wants.  Any Pujols or Ichiro card would be randomed off.  If we do 30 teams the price comes out to $9.75 shipped.


OR

15 slots - choose your team.  After all 15 slots are full we'll open it back up for everyone to chose a 2nd team.  If a Pujols or Ichiro card is pulled they'll be randomed off to all participants.  This way you Cardinals or Mariners fans can still have your team and everyone has a shot of landing a nice RC.  Price per slot comes out to be $16.50 shipped.

We could always drop one box to lower the overall costs too if necessary.

Whatever scenario is chosen I have to have all the slots full in order for this to happen.  So, give me a piece of your mind!  Tell me what option you would be more gung-ho for.  Do you even like having a team that isn't "your team" in group breaks?  Inquiring minds want to know!

I would like to reveal the 4 boxes and post sign-ups soon so if you have something to share please do so.  In the mean time I'll leave everyone with this teaser image:
