Hey everybody. It's been a LONG time (over a year and a half) I did my last group
break, and I'm really wanting to do another. While past breaks had included older products in order to keep the cost down, I found some amazing deals on CURRENT releases, which is pretty great.
Here are the three boxes I will be busting this time around:
2013-14 Rookie Anthology
This product contains a guaranteed four hits. Of those, one will be a
Rookie Treasures card, which features an autograph and two pieces of
memorabilia. There will also be at least one additional autograph, as well. The box
contains 10 packs of 5 cards, so we'll be getting a few base cars from
here as well. The big draw with Rookie Anthology is that while it is a stand-alone base set, the hits (with the exception of Rookie Treasures) are all continuations of previous releases. It comes into play especially with early-season releases that came out too early to include some of this year's top rookies, like Mathan MacKinnon, Seth Jones, and Tomas Hertl.
2013-14 ITG Enforcers II
This is a one-pack product from In the Game that features SEVEN hits.
The product focuses on the game's toughest players from throughout its
history. Each box/pack contains four autographed cards, three memorabilia
cards, and five base cards. Some of the memorabilia cards could be
Instigator cards, Combatants cards, or Tough Franchise
quadruple memorabilia cards.
2013-14 Totally Certified
This is a four-pack box of hockey cards, with a guarantee of one autograph or memorabilia card and one rookie card in each pack. There are also plenty of parallels, with reds, blues, golds and greens serial-numbered to 25, 10, 5 and 1. While they don't officially guarantee this, every box I have seen opened has had at least one autographed jersey rookie card.
That makes it a grand total of
THIRTEEN guaranteed hits to come from these three boxes.
I hope some of that interests you.
Here are some of the stipulations:
-There will be 10 slots for this break. Each slot will cost $20, and
will include the team you pick, as well as a second and third randomized team. Judging by my past breaks, it has been much easier for me to fill 10 slots than 15, so I'm trimming down the number of participants, while increasing the amount of teams one slot will buy you.
-For the un-picked teams, I will disperse them this
way. First, I will list the remaining teams alphabetically by city.
Then, I will use
random.org to randomize the names of the participants and use that
order to assign the teams down the list for the first ten. For the second ten, they will be assigned with the list of participants in reverse order of the randomization. For example, after
randomization, the person's name who comes up first would get Anaheim,
second gets Boston, etc. as long as those teams were not picked
originally.
-Now, all three of these products focus primarily on the hits, so there
will be a relatively few base cards to pad the envelopes. However, to make up
for that, I will guarantee a hit for EVERY slot that is purchased. If a
participant does not get an autographed or memorabilia card from any of
these three boxes, I will throw one in from my own collection, so that
everybody will be going away with something.
-Enforcers II is an unlicensed product, so with each card, it will go to
the team
whose jersey is being worn by the player in the photograph on the front
of the card. I believe in the case of the memorabilia cards, ITG does
identify on the back of the card which team the jersey was taken from,
so of course, it would go to that team. If for whatever reason, the
picture on the front doesn't match the team identified by the jersey
swatch on the back, it will go to the team that the swatch itself comes
from.
-Any card with a player from a team that has since moved, will go to
wherever that team moved to. For example, Quebec Nordiques will go to
the Colorado Avalanche, Atlanta Flames will go to the Calgary Flames,
K.C. Scouts will go to the New Jersey Devils, etc. In the case of the
Winnipeg Jets, any cards of the
original Jets will go to the Phoenix Coyotes, since that is where the franchise moved to, and any cards of the Atlanta Thrashers and the
current Jets will go to the Winnipeg Jets slot.
-Any cards featuring players from multiple teams will be randomed off
using random.org. Any hits will be done on video immediately after the
box is opened, by listing the applicable teams and randomizing the list 3
times.
-I hope that all made sense.
