Just in case anybody wondered (I did), Steve is going to be sending out the packs randomly. In other words, if you signed up as #4 on the list, you won't get the 4th from the top pack necessarily. I'm guessing the Jordans tend to be in the same packs in the same location in the box. So, kudos to Steve for a very fair method of distributing the packs.

I assume you are going to get it graded at PSA? MAYBE ask Steve for his opinion as to the best one before he sends it to you.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
more $$ for cards that I have to shell out. If my wife knew...she thinks I am buying porno! >>
MANNY ... for $550.00 you should be able to get more than just the movie!!!! LMAO

Sorry but I just noticed, THANK YOU PING, for still stalking me, even though you are NOT involved in this rip. Let me guess, you could have done it better? Get a life!

Don't need a life, more fun to just mess with you. I'm amazed you are in this rip beings it not Hockey. Never did say I could do it better, just wild/dumb thoughts in your head.

Someones a little paranoid. Probably due to a powerful drug not associated with the set registry.
<< <i>Wow, 10K on a group rip. Good luck fella's. Just out of curiosity, how many PSA 9 Jordan's can you get with 10K? >>
A very valid point. But why do people buy unopened product at all? The thrill of gambling.
Anyone can pick up raw or even PSA 8-9 graded singles for less than the cost busting these packs. But the possibility of pulling Gem MT cards and having them come back as 10s is worth the risk to some.
I wish everyone the best of luck, and I meant it about those checklist cards!! I want first crack at them!

Yeah if it were about being smart, I'd have a lot more money and a lot fewer wax wrappers in my trash can. The gamble's what it's all about!
I've blown through my fair share of dough on gambling, strippers, drugs, etc. So I get that it's about the thrill/experience and not hitting the jackpot or even breaking even. Hitting a nice 10-worthy Jordan is not expected, but would be a nice bonus. Just like hitting that 4 when you have $100 on the pass line and 10x backing it up. Not expected, but a nice bonus. I would have joined myself but my days of blowing dough on the gambling, strippers, drugs etc. AND cards may be numbered. My 41 year old wife and myself (36) just had a positive pregnancy test - after 2 years of trying. I think I'm going to be a daddy.

That is great news and is much more exciting than any GEM MT Jordan RC could ever be. Speaking only for myself, I very rarely ever open wax for precisely the economic reasons mentioned. Furthermore, I feel that the odds are even more stacked against me with all the resealing and reshuffling of boxes.
However, this seemed like a great opportunity to get a fair shake on a pack that I've always wanted to open (and never have). I don't expect to pull a Jordan at all, but I've always wanted to bust one of these packs, so for me the entertainment value was worth ponying up for a pack.

Congrats Bob.... my daughter is going to be 2 this month and believe me you never get over the addiction of pack busting... I went cold turkey for a while, now I must get my fix every so often!
Also there is no bigger rush/thrill when the GEM MINT 10 baby pops out!
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

Maybe next time I'll do a group buy searching for 9 PSA Jordan's!
