The cases might arrive today, I got a message that they shipped yesterday (tues) from IL.

Ok, so let's talk about August's break.

The only real release is 2012 Topps Chrome Baseball. I really like this product and I think we should run with it. I would have to get a quote, of course, but I am sure we can get some cases.

If we try for an older product, there is no way in hell we will all agree to it and it will just delay us.

Ahh crud. Looks like I hit the random button 1 too many times on group 1. Tried to go back to the random.org window that I used which was still open, but when I moved back a page, it refreshed itself and did not have the same initial results of the 3rd random.

Houdini, let me know what you guys want me to do, whether it's leave it at 4, or redo 3 times.

[hoopster3977]

Another random that lands me at the bottom of the list again this month. 3 months in a row.....................

[jpitten]

Yea hoops I'm getting killed in tgese breaks. :/

[houdini]

Yes sir, the only fair thing is to re-random. I know the guys at the top hate it, but accidents happen.

New random for group 1.

To be honest, I LOVE the baseballs. I think they are a perfect weekly prize if we can keep getting them at the right price. I have never seen a baseball yet that I would not put in my collection - but those cut autos were blah. (Except that Maris - lol)

Listen guys, this is a fantasy baseball club. You are not supposed to get ANYTHING in fantasy baseball unless you win.

This club is different in that I made it so that everyone gets something, but you have to win for it to be guaranteed good.

Whatever you get - no matter what it is - is GRAVY.

If you want the #1 pick, then win. Riversoule never won much before, but he won July. Andrew Jones was 0-4 and then won the next 9+ weeks.

Now hoopster, you won a $65 baseball and your monthly fee was only $81. So spots 12 and 17 in the snake hit draft cost you $16 - and that is packed and delivered. The baseball could be another Banuelos (fairly common) or it could be something awesome. Who knows.

Up to UPS.

[hoopster3977]

I'm just saying, not complaining. Beat you last week. LOL

You're too easy, Houdini.

I wasn't complaining, I was stating a fact that I suck

It's a frustrating day because some people are making me autopick for them in the 8 case draft - thus forcing me to sit on my computer all day instead of taking el guapo for a walk.

Yes, you beat me last week handily and now I am get beat up badly in club #2.

Yeah baseballs are good. I would prefer a product where we have a chance to get old HOFers (like the Ted Williams). Personally I loved the cut autos

[raidersfan1983]

[thatkidbilly]
