It's that time again to get set up for the May break. New this month I have added 5 top teams which you can only claim 1 of those teams. Due to concerns the top teams were being snatched by the first to see the topic. This will help to spread the top teams around a little bit. Link to last months break: Monthly Football Team Group Break - 26 Teams - April 2011.

Check out our website: Monthly Box Breaks at BO - Home

The break is a 26 Team break where members pick their team on a first come first serve basis. The additional 6 teams are auctioned off with the opening bid starting at $5. The auction of the 6 additional teams is only open for members who have joined this break with a team.

The fee for the group is $25 for the first team and $20 for each additional team. Each member is only allowed to own a maximum of 3 teams (excluding auctioned teams). Out of the $25 - $20 is set aside for the purchase of boxes and $5 ($3 shipping, $1 supplies, $1 PP fees) is set aside for supplies, shipping, and paypal fees.

26 teams x $20 a piece towards boxes + $30 minimum for auctioned teams means we get to break at least $550 worth of boxes each month. All boxes will be between years 2008 - 2010 with at least 1 box from each of those years.

Rules:

* Members will receive all cards pulled for their teams including base. Even if you tell me that you don’t want base cards I am sending them anyways because I don’t want them.

* If a card has a player in a different team jersey than listed on the card, the card goes to the team listed on the card. (Ex. Jay Cutler pictured in a Broncos jersey but the card lists Bears, the card would go to the Bears).

* If there is no team listed on the card or the team listed on the card is the player’s college team then the card goes to the team that drafted the player. If the player was undrafted then the card goes to the team that first claimed the player. (Ex. A 2010 autograph of Brett Favre and the card lists Southern Mississippi as the team, the card would go to the Falcons.)

* If a card has multiple teams on the card then the team that is represented the most on the card will receive it. (Ex. A quad GU card of Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, and Reggie Wayne, the card would go to the Colts because there are 2 Colts listed on the card). If all teams are represented equally then the team that appears first on the card will receive it (Ex. the top team on a vertical card, the left-most team on a horizontal card).

* If the card is dual-sided the back side of the card is the side with the card #. If the card # is not present on the card then the back side of the card is the side with the hologram sticker.

Break will be live on Ustream. Here is the link: Monthly Football Box Breaks at BO on USTREAM: . .

[jiggidy]

I am thinking about adding a section to the website called "Hit Of The Month" where there will be a short interview with the member who receives the card and maybe a pic of the member with the card or something.

You guys think that is ok or a dumb idea? I am just thinking of things to get more involvement on the website. Also if you haven't seen it yet there is a breakdown of the hits of previous breaks on the site. Thanks and a PM is coming to cincyboy since he was the recipient of the hit of the month last month.

[lexus2903]

I vote option 1 sorry forgot in my original post

[jiggidy]

Sorry forgot to ask in my previous post. what is everyones thoughts on 2011 prestige for the june break? personally im not a big fan of prestige but it will be the hot product at the time so if enough people want to see it i will add it next month

[DJPong]

i'll take the eagles and the ravens. i vote for option 1. thanks.

[jiggidy]

Teams are now available to anyone. 9 teams left to be claimed.

[kennyhasty]

[jiggidy]

Hit of the Month page has been added to the website. Check it out here for a brief interview with cincyboy about his hit from last month: Monthly Box Breaks at BO - Hit Of The Month

[billdog3484]

mark me down for Patriots and Falcons

and ill vote for option 1 (my second would be option 2 but it doesnt matter to me)

[mmbtvs]

Ya know, why not, I'll take the Giants and give me option 2 please.

[sals_cardz]

seahawks are mine. thx yay! my vote is for number 2 option 2 whateva. lol

[jiggidy]

need 3 more teams to be claimed before the auction period starts

[billdog3484]

I think if you add a product with the rookies who are not yet drafted that will increase the likelihood of gaining members to take "lesser teams"
like a 2011 leaf metal draft. should probably add 1 of these products for may

[CarolinaGuy]

I just PMd you about giving me the panthers and the Cards. Option 2 please, although I would like to see some 2010 contenders busted.

Got you down. Doesn't look like 2010 contenders will be busted this month but it will stay in the rotation for future months.

Also next month's (June) break will be the first month with a 2011 product (assuming Panini Prestige comes out on time). As more 2011 products start being released we will eventually filter out 2008.

Also there is 1 team left to be claimed. If nobody else claims a team by 10PM EST tonight I will pick up another team to get the auction started.
