Thank you Mark-cincyredlegs for the BBCE PSA Group Break #6

DCanfield

As a fairly new member of the CU Board I was thinking how great it was to be able to participate in this most recent group break. Then it struck me what a tremendous amount of time and effort Mark has to devote to make this happen. I'm not sure if my addition is correct but I came up with about 60 board members taking part. That's a lot to keep track of. THANK YOU!

Well said, Mark organized the last one I believe as well. We also shouldn't forget Mike (miconlegacy) who organized the first 4.

Many thanks guys.

Absolutely. I wasn't onboard for those but the thank you applies equally!

BIG thanks to Mark and Mike for their time and organizing these group rips.....

ClockworkAngel

Totally agree. Another newbie really appreciates everything. It was a blast.

Look forward to hearing how everyone did!

Adding my thanks on the group rips as they are a ton of fun. We sold our house and are moving to an Oak Park rental until we can assess if Chicago and Cook County can unscrew themselves (not to get all political). I have 10 packs coming from the latest group rip and this will present an opportunity to not only control myself from opening the packs, but from even opening the box when it arrives from BBCE. Any thought on the value of an unripped package from BBCE containing unripped wax and cello packs? That should be a fun one for the BST board.

Guys:

Thanks for you kind words. To be honest, I am a sportscard GEEK. I love cards and I love doing the BBCE breaks. It's work but when you enjoy it, you don't see it as being work.

Miconlegacy had done a ton on these boards and has run a bunch of these breaks.....some of them have totaled in the upper 5 digits. It's pretty easy for me to do them because I just copy what he has already done. I also have been stepping in for Mike because he has had some other commitiments that has taken his time away from doing them.

I believe Bunker was doing the breaks before Mike so kudos should go out to him.

At the end of the day, it is fun organizing, fun deciding what packs to buy, fun (maybe not) waiting for your packs to arrive, fun getting your packs and touching, feeling, carressing (not that there is anything wrong with that). Lastly, either opening/sharing with the board or keeping sealed/sharing with the board.

I truly hope everyone gets the joy out of these breaks that I do.

Great work, Mark! Can't wait for Steve to get some more 70s boxes in stock, too!

Excellent thread.

I plan to leave most of my packs unopened, but will love ripping them when I give in and change that plan day one.

I've been participating in group rips here since 2006 (anyone still remember the 78 or 80 baseball wax case break? or the 75 mini wax case break?) and have probably been involved in every single one since then and think the way they're run now is the most efficient and fair way to involve as many people as possible. Looking forward to more!

Thanks again to all involved!

When I first joined CU Miconlegacy was running one of these. I thought it was a cool idea right away. I didn't jump in that first time around but I followed the thread, and I couldn't wait for another one to come along.

I will share my packs when they arrive!

It's good to know that one of the finest receivers ever to catch the ball is on these boards. Seaver,Koosman ,Matlack Capra and not one hit to win a game for them! Just kidding, as a two-time All-Star I wish the Giants had you for a couple. I see your knowledge goes beyond the glove and into the art of collecting. I am curious to know what you collect and what is your best collectible. Please PM me if you want as this is not a OnT topic.

Just wanted to add my thank you to the list. I appreciate all the effort put it to make these group rips possible. Again, Thank you.

MisterBungle

Yeah, what they said.

I don't have anything to add...

...except thanks, this'll be fun!!

Mark,

Thanks so much for doing this. It is a blast.



Grote, I remember even doing a 1986-87 Fleer BB box break, 75 topps mini case break and a few others over the years.

miconelegacy

Big props to Mark for doing the last few. They do require hours of work, but it's worth it to see everyone else's enjoyment. Plus seeing the stars on top and cards that get great grades.

Again it's the community atmosphere that attracts us all to these boards. The knowledge, education, jokes and laughs. One thing is for sure we all are in love with the cardboard!

I hope some low pop grades come from this break.

Great job Mark and to anyone that has done breaks before.

My first group break was the 86/87 Fleer box that's on the first page. Gone are the days...
