    Packing is taking a little longer than I expected due to the ordering of the packs but I will be sending out tracking today and they will be in the mail. I'm dropping them off at the regional Post Office to minimize the handling, so I have a little drive tonight. I want to have as few USPS employees touching the packages as possible!

    No rush on my end, take your time, I can wait awhile to get my Lebron rookie.

    Paid. Sorry for the delay while traveling.

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,144 ✭✭✭✭✭

    First I have to give credit to Steve Hart for being able to manage these breaks. Keeping track of the payments and shipments can drive you crazy!

    I have one orphan payment for $53, I think I know who it belongs to and need to wait for confirmation.

    KCRoyal and Elynn haven't paid yet. I think this is correct since I am short $150 in payments of completing the break. I'm sent a follow-up to both, if I don't hear back in a couple of days, I will got to the waitlist. I think the waitlist is correct, but if I made mistake, please let me know.

    The labels are done for the rest and the tracking will be sent very soon/.

    I sent the tracking numbers today and the packs are on their way. If you didn't get the tracking number, PM me and I will send it.

    KCRoyal, Mullins, and 49ersGuy will get their tracking numbers later today. I still have one payment that I can't assign to anyone. There is also one pack that hasn't been paid for. I can't assign it until I know who the orphan payment belongs to.

    Thanks for everyone's participation and patience.

    Received my packs today...thanks again Mike!

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,144 ✭✭✭✭✭

    All of the packs are out except for two. One orphan payment and one non-payment. I'm going to try to figure it out today and send an email whom I think the paid pack belongs to. If the other person doesn't want the pack anymore, I'll start offering it to the waitlist.

    So who is ripping and who is keeping them unopened?

    I was thinking of keeping it unopened, but my kid is dying to open it.?!?!

    Ndelo, I'm a frequent Frank and Sons visitor and I believe I know who you got those from; he had those boxes for quite awhile. I remember opening a few packs from a box that he had on the shelf @ 20 per pack about 2 years ago, and 2nd pack in I did get a Lebron rookie. Hoping for some good joojoo for the rest of you!

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,144 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I still have one pack to ship and one pack to allocate. I would humbly request that everyone hold on posting rip results until I can get the last pack allocated. It should be in the next day or two.

    The dude dropped Steve Hart's name . Opened boxes pawned off after a couple years of replacement packing is quite frankly.... nauseating.

    I got a checklist. And a Tony Parker. Sigh.

    Justin is referring to the dealer I bought the boxes from. The dealer sold single packs and boxes. I bought 2 full opened boxes, not the single packs. Justin bought from the pack box on the shelf, I did not buy from that box. The single boxes were on a shelf and the lid was popped. The lid on these boxes are still in intact.

    I'm sure you're still mad that I pulled your packs, but since you feel it is such a scam, I didn't feel that I should force you to take those packs.

    What Ndelo said is correct. The dealer had an open box on his shelf, which he typically does so that you can buy by the pack. He also had boxes and a case that he showed me, which I almost bought myself a few years ago.

    I don't think any explanation was necessary, you either trust the OP or not, which BTW I do.

    We shouldn't let a couple of complainers ruin these group breaks/rips.

    Best card in my 2 packs (box 2) was a common refractor....good luck!

    I have no dog in the fight and did not participate in the break, but would point out that the fact a refractor was pulled is a good sign these were not tampered with. If someone in the chain of custody was going to go the unscrupulous route, there is no way a REF would make it out.

    The OP had asked for us to withhold our results until all the packs went out. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Does anyone know muffins? I think he is the one that sent the payment but I never got the address. I sent him a few PMs and he hasn't replied yet.

    Also I think Elynn is not going to pay for his pack, so I will send a PM to the next person on the waitlist.

    I'm first on the waitlist and chomping at the bit to get another pack. Just let me know if you have someone not pay and I will Paypal you immediately.

    seriously ?

    I probably shouldn't have been wearing nylons, black lipstick, and a Marilyn Monroe wig while riding a Peacock when using the laptop to offer up on this one then.

  • RyanAdmirerRyanAdmirer Posts: 632 ✭✭

    Out of two packs I did manage to score a Wally Sczcerbiak refractor....and that sucker would probably score a GEM grade....soooo.....it was an exciting rip for about 5 seconds.

    I'm a big Nolan Ryan fan OK???!!!

    Pulled a Carmelo RC in one of my two packs!! Not very centered though...

  • shu4040shu4040 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭

    decided F-it and went for it. Opened both; alas no Lebron. Got a Chris Bosh rookie which would have been a really nice pull in the past. Keep ripping guys!

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,144 ✭✭✭✭✭

    OK - all packs are allocated. Feel free to start ripping, with 2 boxes there has to be at least 1 Lebron lurking in the packs.

    Mike
  • cecropiamothcecropiamoth Posts: 969 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ripped my pack -

    Rashard Lewis, Sam Cassell, Eric Snow and Marcus Banks RC

  • 49ersGuy49ersGuy Posts: 382 ✭✭

    my odds for a Lebron keep going up! In a way I am kind of hoping someone else pulls the Lebron so it can eliminate any urge to open up the pack.

  • BeRoyalKCBeRoyalKC Posts: 413 ✭✭

    We should put together a pack tracking list. I'm looking at my 2 packs right now. Waiting for my odds to improve before I rip.
