1975 TOPPS MINI BOX BREAK***ALL PACKS SHIPPED***SHARE RIPS AND PACKS HERE!

slum22slum22 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭✭

Just got to work and I see the box break is full. And in less than 24 hours! Thanks to everyone who has reserved a slot. Grimster, tmgrnzx9r and SirLurksALot you are first, second and third on the waitlist, respectively.

In the meantime it is time to pay! Since everyone who reserved packs happened to reserve two it will be simple. Please send either $150 via PayPal Friends and Family or $156 via PayPal Goods to:

slum22@hotmail.com

When you pay please just leave a message in the notes section with your CU user name so I can update the thread with who has paid. Also if you pay by PP Friends and Family which would be my preference and much appreciated then please send a PM with your mailing address or else leave your address in the notes section while paying.

Once I have received payments for all 36 packs I will do the drawing for the empty box.

Thanks again,

Steve


I got off work a little early today so before I start the long commute home I figured I would just start this thread now.

THE BOX BREAK IS NOW LIVE. THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO IS PARTICIPATING. PLEASE REVIEW THE GUIDELINES OF THE BREAK BELOW. THIS IS A BREAK OF A 1975 TOPPS MINI BASEBALL WAX BOX FROM BBCE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE PM ME OR POST ON THIS THREAD AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

PRICE PER PACK/SLOT: $75 (this is net to me, so preferably PP Friends and Family otherwise $78 PP Goods/Invoice)

RESERVING SLOTS: All slots must be reserved on this thread, PM’s do not count for reservations. Once this thread is posted then packs can be reserved from that point forward. To maximize the amount of people who can get packs and take part in the break there will be a limit to the amount of packs each member can reserve over the first 24 and 48 hours.

The initial limit will be 2 packs for the first round of reservations. This limit will last for 24 hours. Starting on Tue at 5:30PM, people can reserve 2 more packs for a total of four packs per person for that first 48 hour period. On Wed at 5:30PM, limits will be taken off and anybody can reserve as many packs as they wish.

When the first 36 slots are filled I will start a waitlist and it will be open to whoever claims a spot on the waitlist in this thread.

SHIPPING: Free

INSURANCE: I am not a big believer in USPS insurance, but if you want insurance on your package I will add it to your total. Your cost will be the exact USPS charge for the amount insurance that you request.

PAYMENT TERMS: Payment is expected as soon as the break ends, which is defined as when all the slots are claimed. Payment is expected via PayPal and will be net to me. PayPal Friends and Family is preferred but if you want PayPal Goods please know that $3 will be added per slot/pack to the total to account for the PayPal fees.

BONUS: I will be giving away the empty box from this break (I am assuming someone will want it). **To win the empty box you have to be a participant in the break and you have to request entry into the drawing for the box when you reserve your packs **(or at least sometime before the end of the break). The odds of winning the box will be based on how many slots you purchase and how many other people with slots request a chance at winning the box. For example if you reserve 4 slots and all 36 slots request entry then you will have a 4 in 36 chance of winning. If only 20 of the participating slots request entry for the box then you have a 4 in 20 chance in winning.

Thanks again to everyone who is participating!

Steve

    Late night update! I thought I was done for the night after I saw Oakesy's post. I'm getting old, I thought it was getting late at 10pm, lol. I figured there would be packs available for people to double dip at the 24 hour mark but now it is looking like there may not be many if any at all. This box looks like it may be getting busted earlier than expected. Calling it a night for now. Thanks to all the participants!

    Updated through cecropiamoth. Also, if you see a star by your name that indicates that you have been entered for the empty box drawing. If anyone who reserved packs forgot about this, feel free to reply in the thread and you can be entered all the way up until payment request is posted.

    thanks steve

    Why doesn't Balco758 post that he paid instead of a random account named Balco3 (with 2 posts)? Just seems fishy...

    It'd be like me creating a new account claiming that another member had paid. Essentially allowing me to "steal" that spot since the group breaker is just going to see a payment and that in the notes its for "insert username here".

    Haven't had my coffee yet...maybe Im just in a cynical mood....
