First off guys, I apologize for not getting the 75 mini box up last night. Long story short, went the South Carolina game on Thursday night, got home at 1. Back up at 6 to take the girls to school and fell asleep on the couch at 6:00 pm last night. LOL.
I have added the 4th box. I updated first with the guys that missed out on the 3rd box. I then gave anybody who reserved last night their spots (seemed to me like the fair thing to do).
Bunt - I REALLY appreciate your kindness but if it is OK with you, I would like to let someone who collects 75 minis take that pack.
Sluggo - I updated with your name for the 85 fleer box.

The break is now closed. Payments can begin on Tuesday. Please do not pay before then. Also, please be patient with Steve. This is a monster break and will probably take him a week to get everything sorted, packed and shipped.
A few stats:
Total $ sold - $24,129 Total boxes - 160 Total packs - 1,472

Hey Steve, I'll take the '85 Fleer box if that's cool with Mark. Let me know!

Brian,
Looks like Mark made the switch for the 1985 Fleer Box. Thanks for taking my place. And thanks Mark for being on top of everything. Great job with setting up the break. Would you like to score us a 5th 75 Mini box? If so, I will reserve my 2 packs now
<< <i>GemMint - Sorry about that. I missed you. I have fixed and gave you the last two packs.
What, nobody wants to add some more stuff????? LOL. Yeah, I think everyone's pocket book is going to hurt next week.
Mark >>
Mark, thanks so much for organizing this. You've done a masterful job. I just tallied my order...and, well...things aren't looking so pretty. I just had a drunken one-nighter with wax packs.
<< <i>I'll take a couple Mini slots if anyone backs out. >>
3boyztrading - I have one pack of the minis that you can take. Was going to give that to cincy but he doesn't collect the minis. If he will update the list from the 3rd box with you replacing me that is fine.

If I keep my packs I just bought sealed in the envelope Steve sends them to me in, are they already worth more than what I'm about to pay because of the BBCE tape premium?

<< <i>If I keep my packs I just bought sealed in the envelope Steve sends them to me in, are they already worth more than what I'm about to pay because of the BBCE tape premium? >>
Yes!
Keep your orders from BBCE sealed, ask Steve for an LOA, and then try to sell them for 417% above BBCE's current buy prices in a convoluted auction process that has zero transparency.
<< <i>If I keep my packs I just bought sealed in the envelope Steve sends them to me in, are they already worth more than what I'm about to pay because of the BBCE tape premium? >>
Jon ... if Steve also packages them in another box ... DO NOT OPEN IT! The hell with knowing if the correct items are in the box, just ASSuME they are and then add another $100.00 or so to your asking price.
STAY HEALTHY!

I actually did this a few years ago with an order from Steve, a large one. I knew if I opened it, things would get torn to shreds!!!
I made a purchase from Matt Miller like 4 months back, several boxes....still sealed. I better go check that one,lol. Now that one kept sealed carries a premium. Matt is as honest as it gets like Steve!
Thanks Mark for putting this Awesome break together. Although I miss doing them at times, can't say it's not bad sitting on the sidelines...
Your the best buddy, hope you and the kids are doing great.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!!!

Thank you gentlemen! I'll have it shipped to my brother so it'll be kept sealed. I visit once a year so we'll see how tempting the packs get over the holidays.
Been on the forums for awhile now, but just started posting a few months ago. First group break and very excited to get the boxes/packs. Want to throw a big thank you out to cincyredlegs for putting this together and another to those on the boards I have dealt with thus far. Seems like a great group.
Mike
P.S. Spent more than I should have on the break, but what's a few more hours of overtime, lol. Didn't see the 85 Donruss boxes, so if anyone wants to unload theirs, lmk. Thanks again!
Mark did (does) a great job with the break(s), and assisted me out with a few things this time around. Thanks a lot!
Anybody up for doing something like an optional donation towards the Group Rip MC when we pay Steve? When you call or Paypal add even just a buck apiece towards Mark's packs?

I would definitely be good with that. If everyone who is willing to put an extra dollar on their order for Mark's packs posts here we can keep tabs and Mark can just deduct that from his total. Count me in. Mark, just let us know if you would accept this small token of our gratitude for your work for your fellow board members. I will even volunteer to do the counting for you Mark, so you don't have to put any more work in for this.
So my order is going to be one wax box and six individual packs. Am I calculating it correctly that shipping is going to be $12?
Also, I will gladly throw an extra buck toward Mark's packs onto my order if someone comes up with an efficient way to consolidate the suggested 'thank you' present.

Walter,
Your shipping costs should be $10 total.
BTW guys, I appreciate your kindness of throwing in a few bucks for me but it isn't necessary. I really do appreciate the kindness though. How about a "shout out" to all the good guys on the board.
I also really appreciate all the work you put into setting these rips up Mark. How about you just post your pay-pal address and everyone that would like to can send you a gift payment for your efforts. Then you can buy yourself a little something for all the hard work.
