    How many slots away is this to live? I am only asking because several above me have asked for two slots and only been given one if I read the list right.

    Ten slots left. LOTSOS requested two and I put him down for one, so that has been corrected. If there are any errors, just let me know.

    Looks like it. I will email BBCE and let them know we couldn't sell it out. Thanks to those interested and who participated! And thanks to BBCE for offering a VENDING BOX rip!

    Drats. Oh well. Thanks for putting it together. We gave it a good shot!

    Thanks for your work in putting this together. Would have been fun and I appreciate the legwork even though we didn't get it sold out. Now we can all tell the story about how we once "had a Gretzky rookie lined up" but it fell through at the last minute!

    This is too bad as I was really looking forward to this--what a buzzkill!!! :s We had 40 out of the 50 (or 80 percent) of the slots filled and we can't fill 10 more measly slots and are calling it a day?!?!?! I can see calling it quits if only half the slots were filled but this seems a little crazy as we got this far--how about if some of the guys who reserved only one slot decide to go for two??? All it will take is 10 guys to make this happen--besides you will get a better deal if you buy two lots instead of one as the shipping for the second lot is much less! :)

    I'll do another one if it'll help get us there

    Thanks CSUrunandstun--hopefully a few other guys will follow suit and we can resurrect this thing!!!

    I'll take 2 more if one of the other guys who already took 2 takes 2 more. I just want to be a part of a break here for Hockey! Score Football just doesn't do it for me. #Hockey ..... gets me everytime.

    I have to agree with Mike, we shouldn't kill the break over 10 slots, patience grasshopper.

    There seemed to be a big drop of activity on the thread, and since it didn't sellout by the 5th (I even kept it open a couple days after) it seemed the right thing to end it because I don't want to holdup BBCE's business.

    I feel that if anybody wants out of their commitment they should be given that chance since it didn't sell out.

    We have a lot going on with deliveries and equipment installation at the house today and tomorrow (getting a printer that will print on hockey pucks, baseballs, golf balls, et cetera) but I will try to get around to PMing all participants to see who is still on board. If there are any changes to the list I will make them at the time. Hopefully we can sell this out!

    For those who have signed-up, please send me a PM if you'd like to stay on board. For those who don't see this, or can't send a PM, I'll send you one this evening.

    Thanks!

    Just want to update the break - I emailed BBCE and it is officially over.

    I messaged all who participated to see if they are still onboard - most, but not all, have responded.

    Of those who responded, about 1/3 want out.

    If someone wants to organize this again, I'm happy to participate and offer my cards in the event the box is short 500 cards.

    Thanks!!!

    Thanks again for your work in organizing this.

    There is a vending box on eBay now. You guys could collectively throw a $5k bid for it and whatever the price comes to, have someone split it up.
