Great Idea for Anyone who wants a BOX. EVERYONE LOOK!

hakeem · January 10, 2003 9:51AM

I've got this idea but need the participation of a lot of you. I have been trading for years and years and was on this board before it was updated and before most of you had even heard of it.

The idea is that a minimium of 10 people send me $5 which I'll use to get a box of our choice on ebay (I have some loose US currency around so I'll cover shipping). I'll ask anyone who joins to list their 3 box preferences and I'll try and get one from the 2 most voted boxes.
I'll then open it and RAFFLE OFF the best cards in the box. I've come up with an idea to guarantee no "tricky" stuff on my part if anyone distrusts me. I'll need one other member not taking part to get everyones names who is and randomly number them from 1-? and I'll then randomly number the best cards from 1-?, we'll then swap and see which cards match which member.
ITS YOUR BEST CHANCE TO GET GREAT CARDS FROM A BOX FOR JUST $5.
If we get enough people we could get 2 BOXES.

hey hakeem...i remember when ya done that last time....i to was here before the update

...but if anyones wondering....he is one of the most trusted people i know.....so no worries from that part

hakeem · January 10, 2003 9:58AM

so cardnyou, you wanna take part. If not try and get some others involved. I wan to get enough people for a SPx or SP Auth. box.

cardnyou · January 10, 2003 10:00AM

man i would...but no job right now so gotta be careful

...but i'll sho spread tha word man

hakeem · January 10, 2003 10:06AM

well cardnyou do you want to be the guy to help me with the raffling of the cards?

Quiksilver77 · January 10, 2003 10:10AM

no offense...but arent you the one from australia, or something like that? wouldnt that make it very costly for everyone, especially you?

keithmcm · January 10, 2003 10:13AM

Why not just split up the packs?

pacmanssportscards · January 10, 2003 10:16AM

Because if he opens the packs he can fail to mention that he pulled a Dan Marino autograph #'d 13/13.

Quiksilver77 · January 10, 2003 10:24AM

hah, true...he knows damn well if he pulled something amazing he wouldnt tell us...

EHTHOCKEY09 · January 10, 2003 10:29AM

<< <i>hah, true...he knows damn well if he pulled something amazing he wouldnt tell us... >>

and you would? lol...probably not...well neither would i

hakeem · January 10, 2003 10:32AM

actually I would tell you, the reason I like to do this is the only pleasure I get from the hobby anymore is adding to my Hakeems or opening boxes which answers kieths question of why don't I split the packs. Plus if I split the packs it would cost me a lot in postage. And yes I do live in Australia but shipping for one box isn't that much and I've already said I'd cover it with the loose US $$ I have left.

Sportycard · January 10, 2003 10:43AM

I think its a great idea put me down for $5.

Chris

bjork73 · January 10, 2003 11:30AM

I'd do it too... here are my votes for boxes:

1) 02-03 Topps Xpectations Basketball
2) 02-03 Bowman Signature Basketball
3) 02-03 UD Finite Basketball

hakeem · January 10, 2003 6:33PM

Thanks guys. Come on the rest of you were need some numbers to get a descent box. I'll PM everyone when we have enough.

Sportycard · January 11, 2003 4:26AM

ttt

BlackbirdXXX · January 11, 2003 5:17AM

Why don't we all just throw in for a case and split the boxes? 12 people for a case should be cheap!

By the way it would have to be 2002 SP a Football! LOL

hakeem · January 11, 2003 6:53AM

12 people for a case. yeah that would only be about $50. Thats too much for most people.

KOBEcollector · January 11, 2003 11:29AM

put me down for $ 5

hakeem · January 11, 2003 11:29AM

ttt

BigShane · January 11, 2003 11:36AM

If it's a Football Box, I'll consider it. However I just bought a box and I am in the process of purchasing a case on SCS.

hakeem · January 11, 2003 11:37AM

sorry bigshane, NBA box. BUT if you knwo anyone who'd want to take part let them know so we can get enough.

kr580 · January 11, 2003 11:39AM

if i see more people down for FB i will...

kr580 · January 11, 2003 11:41AM

spoke too soon

hakeem · January 11, 2003 11:41AM

again I'm sorry but its only a NBA box. I don't know anything about or follow fb or bb.

kr580 · January 11, 2003 11:43AM

<< <i>I'll need one other member not taking part to get everyones names who is and randomly number them from 1-? >>

me and Cardnyou will work together

seriously... i'd do that

hakeem · January 11, 2003 11:46AM

actually cardnyou still hasn't agreed to do it so you can. At the moment though we need to get some more participants.

DMILES89 · January 11, 2003 11:52AM

count me in!!!!
here are my top 3 choices:
1. 02-03 spx
2. 02-03 topps pristine
3. 02-03 finite

kr580 · January 11, 2003 12:02PM

k... LMK

Remster · January 11, 2003 1:34PM

what the heck...I'll toss in 5.00

hakeem · January 11, 2003 2:01PM

Sorry guys but I have to call it off. just not enough interested or participants. Maybe next time but thanks to those who agreed to take part.

EHTHOCKEY09 · January 11, 2003 2:05PM

LOL...SUCKS FOR U ALL...ALL THAT FOR NOTHING

Bobstar · January 11, 2003 2:18PM

Something smells about this anyway & it's not the great barrier reef.
Leave these kids alone & stop trying to rip them.I am sending this thread to a moderator for review.
Just another scam,as far as we're concerned! don't fall for this garbage! Later,nimrod !

KOBEcollector · January 11, 2003 2:27PM

hey Bobstar, maybe before you bash the poor kid you should read cardnyou's 2nd post to this thread. Sure sounds like he can be trusted . Perhaps he's just trying to be nice and try something different on here. Calling someone a nimrod when you really don't know his intentions is kinda immature, dont you think ?

keithmcm · January 11, 2003 3:44PM

I'm confused. You are talking about a basketball box, right?

hakeem · January 11, 2003 4:30PM

kieth, yeah we were talking about a bkb box. Its been done before and was fun for all. we got some nice cards and everyone was happy. I thaught it was time we tried again but obviously this board has changed a lot and everyone always seems to want to criticise. as for bobstar. where do you get off calling this garbage and a rip. . Did you think I might pocket the $50-$60 and leave this board I've been on for years to live in Mexico and live like a king. Sorry but your the idiot mate.

keithmcm · January 11, 2003 5:01PM

If you already live in Australia I don't think moving to Mexico would put you farther away from most of us anyway. Some people just have trust issues. It wasn't mandatory to participate. The simple principle at work is that if you don't like something, don't do it. I thought you had a good idea. Too bad it died.

hakeem · January 11, 2003 8:29PM

Thanks kieth, I have a feeling you 're going to be one of the better new members to this site.
