Insert Madness Group Break

It took several months to fully recover from the last group break we did, but I'm ready to have another go at it.  I wanted to do something that can fit everyone's budget, and I think I've got the perfect lot for this.  Here's the deal:

 

1. I've recently acquired a lot of over 1,700 insert cards from recent-years products.  The package arrived while I was on vacation, and it weighs in at just under 11 pounds of inserts.  Every card is an insert, none of that "base card junk" (h/t Curtis creator Ray Billingsley).  Every team will be a $15 buy-in, and if you want more than one team, additional teams will be $14 each, shipping included.

2. You can claim your team of choice in the comments.

3. Send PayPal payment to bill13boehm at yahoo dot com with the correct amount for the team(s) you choose.  The price includes the cost of shipping, of course.  Please try to pay within 24 hours of making your claim.

4. Please, please, please include your address as a note with your payment.  It will be infinitely easier to get your cards to you this way.

5. All cards will follow the franchise to the person who claimed it.

6. Cards with players representing multiple teams will be randomed off among all teams with a claim to the card, regardless of the status of the players appearing on it.

7. The opening of the box in which these cards will arrive (as well as any randomizations) will take place streaming live on Twitter (@Thorzul, in case you're not on the platform).  I will give at least 24 hours notice before doing the live stream.

8. Please check the comments before claiming any team.  First come, first serve.

Vintage Group Break Checklist Claim

Hey!

If you took part in the Vintage Group Break this week, you have a chance to claim another card for your pile.  We got a bunch of checklists, and a few other cards that have no team assignment.  I was just going to distribute them randomly, but thought that perhaps some people might need a particular checklist that they saw.  All of these are totally unmarked, which is great.  If you want to choose one as your own, leave a comment here with your preference.  First come, first serve.  You can also pick the Judge Landis card instead, which is probably more valuable than any of the checklists.  Whatever, someone will get rewarded for reading a post about boring old checklists.

 

Participants ONLY, please, may choose from:

1974 #1-132 (three available)

1974 #265-396 (three available)

1974 Traded

1975 #133-264

1976 #397-528

1976 Traded (two available)

1977 #1-132

1977 #397-528

 

You can also claim the strange Wizard card, the Congo card, the Judge, or that weird target thingy, if none of these tickle your pickle.

Death Stare Cards Vintage Group Break #1

 Here are the details of the very first group break held here at Death Stare Cards.

1. This is a vintage group break.  I have purchased a large wholesale lot of cards that the seller claims contains cards only from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  The seller provided a vague number of cards in the lot, somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000.  These will not just be a bunch of common cards.  There will be stars in this lot, probably nothing mega-high-buck, but legitimate stars.  If we end up on the short end of this range, I will make sure to throw in some cards to help compensate.

2. You can claim your team of choice in the comments.  It looks as if 99% of this lot will be baseball cards, but there may be a few basketball or football cards thrown in.  Please make your choice of MLB team, followed by a pro basketball team and a pro football team.  Heck, claim an NHL team, though I doubt any will pop up.

3. Send PayPal payment to bill13boehm at yahoo dot com with the correct amount for the team(s) you choose.  The price includes the cost of shipping, of course.  Please try to pay within 24 hours of making your claim.

4. Please, please, please include your address as a note with your payment.  It will be infinitely easier to get your cards to you this way.

5. All cards will follow the franchise to the person who claimed it.  Distinction will be made between Senators/Twins and Senators/Rangers, should an early-1960s Washington card emerge.

6. Cards with players representing multiple teams will be randomed off among all teams with a claim to the card, regardless of the status of the players appearing on it.

7. Checklists without any team representation will be randomed off among all teams.

8. If you wish to claim additional teams, please subtract one dollar from your second MLB team claimed, two dollars from your third team, and so on.

9. The opening of the box in which these cards will arrive (as well as any randomizations) will take place streaming live on Periscope.  I will give at least 24 hours notice before doing the live stream.

10. Please check the comments before claiming any team.  First come, first serve.
