2012 Bowman Sterling Master Case Player Draft! 100 Slots!
 

[B][COLOR="Red"]Draft is going to start Saturday at 10am PST/1pm EST and will run until 7pm PST/10PM EST and will run each day until it is complete.
There will be a 30 minute timer per spot.[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR="Blue"]FYI FOR MONDAY 12/17: DRAFT WILL START AGAIN AT 8:30AM PST/11:30AM EST AND THE DRAFT TIMER WILL BE 15MINUTES FOR THE FINAL DAY OF THE DRAFT.[/COLOR]

This is a 100 player checklist draft of a Master Case (8-box) of 2012 Bowman Sterling Baseball.

Checklist includes 50 Prospects and 50 Rookies - Each draft slot will receive ALL cards from their selected player. Each master case will yield approximately 240 cards according to the sale sheet. If the selected player does not have a card pulled, your slot will receive no cards, please do not join the break if you are not okay with this. Also I am requesting one random slot as the host, obviously at my expense, so I would like to participate, please do not join if you are not okay with this as well.

After all slots are taken and paid for the mods will random the list 5 times and that will be the order we draft. Draft will take 3 days before the product releases, so I expect December 7th (to account for any last minute checklist changes). If the checklist ends up being more than 100 slots, we will snake back to slot 100 and they will get the 101st pick and so on. Each slot will have 30 minutes to pick and the draft will conclude within 48 hours. I would ask anyone who is not available to sending me their draft list.

If a card has more than one player, the card will be randomed among those player slots. If we happen to pull a card with Player A and Player F and then pull another card with Player A and Player F, the two cards will be randomed among those spots with each spot getting a card, instead of having them randomed separately and one spot getting both.

Additional rules/clarifications 12/7/2012:
Dual auto's will be randomed between the two players featured on the card.
If we pull the exact same dual auto twice, each spot will get one.
Any insert themed auto's will go to the specific player, since they should be draftable.
All codes will be randomed to all slots in the break.

This stuff looks amazing. Can I get 4 slots spread out?

[QUOTE=JFray;3643272]This stuff looks amazing. Can I get 4 slots spread out?[/QUOTE]

Thanks for starting us off JFray! I agree this stuff looks strong this year.

I'll take spot 13.

Some cards have 2 players I think. What about those?

[QUOTE=JFray;3643566]Some cards have 2 players I think. What about those?[/QUOTE]

I'll update the OP, the only fair way would be to random between the two players.

I'd really like to join this break but can someone please confirm the number of cards per pack/box/case. I've seen it listed twice 5 cards per pack (3 autos, 1 base, 1 other?) but four other sites have 4 cards per pack. Can Blowout or Topps confirm?

That's from 2011 Bowman Sterling

There will be no relic cards in 2012 Sterling. Definitely want to check this out. I've seen two sites say 5 cards per pack (3 autos and 1 base card (rookie/prospect... obviously the math isnt right) but most state 4 cards per pack.

4 different supplier websites, baseballcardpedia, and Cardboard Connection are listing as 4 cards per pack. There is nothing I have seen on Topps website. I'm asking Topps on Twitter now.

Ahhh, yeah that may have been 2011. Well the info. on BO says 5 card pack, so whether it's for or 5 won't change the format of the break, hopefully the sale sheet is correct and it is a 5 card pack. Since this is a player draft and there seems to be 50 prospects and 50 rookies, there is still 100 draftable slots.
