What’s the general feeling on UPS insurance among the group here? I know it’s tough if not impossible to get the USPS to do much on an insurance claim - is it a better experience with UPS and worth doing?
With UPS you are covered for the first hundred . Filing a claim with them is extremely time consuming. At my job we have a person who only files claims with truck companies UPS and fed ex and they all suck.

Should I assume I won the box lottery for the 82 baseball wax box as nobody else put in for it?
Yes. I only posted the winners of empty boxes where multiple members put in a claim. For those who ran unopposed, you won! I will send a list to Steve Hart to confirm who should receive the empty boxes, but please make sure to follow up with BBCE/Steve H. on your own to to ensure you get your empty box.

If anyone is no longer wanting a pack of the star wars, lmk. but if you're still feeling the force, then good for you.
I just sent you a PM. Due to some unforeseen family expenses I am going to cut back on my order. You are welcome to have one of the two Star Wars packs I reserved since you are first on the wait list. I will be contacting kcherevka and then Manny (flatfoot816) to see if they want to take one of my 1980 BK packs. kcherevka has first crack and if they pass then it gets offered to flatfoot816. If they accept, then we will go to the alternate list on box 2 to fill their slot in that break.
slum22 (Steve) very generously offered me one of his Star Wars packs--confirmed I'll take it. Thank you so much, Steve! Looking forward to ripping this with my son who couldn't give 2 flips about sports cards..
@slum22 - Steve thanks again for heading up this break and everything you've done to make it happen!! This is putting a lot of great trusted BBCE packs from vintage to modern into hands of collectors who really appreciate the special opportunity. A special thanks to Steve Hart/BBCE for great product/customer service and also to PSA/CU for allowing its users to participate in breaks. Fun break everyone!!

How and when do we find out if there are those who back out?
If people want to back out they can either post on the thread or else PM me or PM the first alternate on the list and see if they want to take their place.

You are welcome. It was great seeing some fun and excitement come to the board. We will hopefully do another one of these later in the year after BBCE restocks some.

Hey, seems like you would like another 82 Donruss box. I got one because it seemed like a good deal. But I am definitely more of a basketball collector. You are welcome to my spot if you want it. Just confirm with a post in the thread and I will transfer my spot to you.

Haha, your campaigning definitely swayed me. And it is good. I don't really collect baseball these days anyway, so you are actually helping me to stay better focused in my collecting and keeping my hobby budget open for things I should be buying. You definitely want the box more than I do, so I am happy it is going to you. Just as I am happy that one of my Star Wars packs will go to Thunderdan and his son. I don't need two of those, So seeing that he wanted one enough to post for it made it an easy decision for me to move it over. If only I had a slot in the 79 box to send to Kevin (LOTSOS), lol. Sorry Kevin. If anyone wants one of my 78 OPC BB packs or one of my 1980 BK packs let me know (although Promethius has first crack at the 80 BK pack on the wait list).

I can't imagine ANYONE here begrudges you the empty box.
Thanks I appreciate this. I took pictures of all the randomized results but stopped posting them as I was nodding off at 2am, lol. I figured people got the idea of how the results looked.

Steve, sorry to hear about your families unforseen expenses. I will take one of your opc bb packs and will send you $10 towards your basketball packs as I now know this is your focus. Guys lets get Steve his bball spot taken care of for all his hard work.

Thanks for taking the OPC pack off of my hands and for the nice gesture. You really don't need to send me anything more though. Your well wishes and the thanks I have received on here are more than enough. Nothing tragic is happening, just normal family stuff.

Yes, this is true. I was just using you as an example of another collector who was excited enough to post interest in getting more reservation slots.
Steve,
Thank you so much for all of the work you've put into this group break. It's greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the nice words Steve. > @Gilbey said:

The Bird/Magic/DrJ pack is still available. Each slot has a 1:36 chance at the Bird Magic pack. The drawings so far have only been for the empty boxes from the break.

I asked if he wanted input on that and he said they have a system to randomize it so that even the people who are putting the orders together don't know which member is getting the pack. I take him at his word on that. So we will all find out together who got the Golden Ticket pack.
Let me know if this changes your thinking.
PM sent...I'll take the spot. Thanks!
Thanks for doing this; So do we go to BBCE website to pay? or is there another method?
I have to much S**t; so if you working on sets or are a player/team collector, send me your want list, with conditions desired. Keep in mind I have a another job so please allow me a few days to respond.
For payment, we just need to send payment to bbcexchange@sprintmail.com via paypal F&F? (and include our CU username and order details)
