    << <i>What I should be whining about is how shady you are and how it takes some real nerve for you to keep posting on this board. Second, you only see it as whining because it doesn't work with your agenda. More members agreed with me than disagreed when I brought up the points about 1 per pack and the free boxes. In fact the only ones that disagreed last times were you and grote.

    We ran breaks before you showed up and I'm sure we will continue after you've finished abusing the board and leave. >>

    Can you PLEASE refrain from using this kind of behavior. I'm absolutely sick and tired of read this crap. I come on here to enjoy my/our hobby and this pitiful back and forth is just nauseating. STOP PLEASE!

    Damn!

    Ive got to agree here. The last group break was the first one I got in on(thanks Mark for doing it:ThumbsUpimage. I missed out on stuff I wanted too. Thats just the nature of the game. It really
    just boils down to, if you dont like the rules, dont play!
    B.T.W. if you guys dont give me 2 of them 1986 Topps F.B. cellos, I aint gonna like you
    anymore!!image

  • C'mon guys - beaching and moaning over who did or didn't get what in the last rip don't mean squat. Sometimes you get the Montana rookie, sometimes you get sheet.

    At the risk of making this thread political, 3 people lost their lives and 180+ had theirs irretrievably changed two days ago. Twenty six people lost their lives 4+ months ago. Arguing over who got what or whether the rules are fair or not is bush league. Either you play by the rules or you buy the whole got dam box from bbce.

    Mark, any idea as to when we go live? I am trying to plan my next few nights! image

    I fully support whatever Mark decides. Anyone who organizes one of these should have the ability to make the call on protocol.

  • Silly question, and I know there are no silly questions, only silly people, who ask questions, so here goes. If buying in to this group rip at the 10% discount, is it allowed to add on additional packs or boxes that are not part of this group rip and get the 10% off also when paying for it all ? Or is that just silly to even inquire about.

    I am not speaking on behalf of Cincilegs or BBCE, but it has been in my experience that Steve has added 10% off when I inquired about other products within the same order/payment not included in the group break.
  • I didn't get nor did I expect any discount on what I added on to what I purchased in the last group rip.

    to clarify, that is not at all what the initial comment is referring to. micon, you should be a bit more humble at the moment given your recent history. but that's a discussion for another (locked) thread, as is the political stuff.

    Mark, thanks for putting this together, as always! Going to be a fun rip.

    I have received a discount in the past when I included extra items on my order but I really think it's more dependent on Steve's cost for each item. As an example, at last year's National in Baltimore Steve was gracious enough to extend a 10% discount to all CU members on most items at his tables. However certain items (1975 Topps rack packs) were sold with no discount. So I guess the answer is maybe.

    Steve has published his new shipping rates. They are below. I will have them posted on the break thread as well but wanted everyone to know there were some changes.

    SHIPPING IS EXACT POSTAGE

    Anyone purchasing (10) packs or less will have their order shipped via USPS. (Rack packs equal three packs).

    All USPS orders will be calculated at a flat rate of $6.

    Insurance: Insurance is provided for the first $100. Additional insurance may be purchased at a rate of $1 per $100 of insurance.

    Insurance is optional (you don’t have to take it, but if you don’t, you assume all risks).

    Anyone purchasing (11) packs or more will have their order shipped via UPS.

    All UPS orders will be calculated at $10, up to the first box (36 packs) plus $1 per $100 of insurance.

    Each additional box will be $1, plus applicable insurance charges.

    Insurance: Insurance is provided for the first $100. Additional insurance may be purchased at a rate of $1 per $100 of insurance.

    Insurance is optional (you don’t have to take it, but if you don’t, you assume all risks).

    It looks like $10 for 1st box and $1 for second box (36 more packs) plus insurance $1 per $100.

    $11 plus insurance.
