Option 2 is the winner. Please send payments asap to pskell02@yahoo.com. Mark as goods and include your board screen name in the notes.

Option 2
1 case 08 EEE
1 case 09 Bowman Chrome
2 cases 09 Draft
1 (4 box) case 09 Sterling

$145 first slot
$135 each additional

We would need to determine the 4 worst teams so they will get the non-MLB from EEE, and the WBC's from BC and Draft.

The first slot price will cover all fees and include $10 for a med. flat rate shipping box. The additional slots price covers fees but does not require any shipping.

Teams will be randomly assigned via random.org for this break.

All cases will be cracked live via ustream. With the number of cases here, it may take 2 days to do and a few days over what it normally takes me to ship.

[iluvfish2]

Prices look good Pat, good luck!

[caltek3]

im in for 1 slot for now will go with either choice but preffer option 2

[endthecurse]

I'm in for one slot... feel the same way as caltek - will do either one, but prefer Option #2.

[pskell02]

Keep in mind to suggest the teams that should get the extra WBC/non-MLB. I changed the second case up a little. Instead of giving all of the Sterling WBC cards to 1 slot, I will do them randomly.

[Boo]

I'd be down for 1 slot. I like option 2 better.

[caltek3]

anyone have a breakdown of hits per product involved so we can see what team might get shorted.

[messingaroundok]

1 slot for me please. Prefer option 2 as well. Thanks!

[Petey2424]

I will take one as well and prefer option 2!

[thebear29]

Put me down for one for now, option 2 seems better, but either is ok.

[Monsters]

1 slot for option 2

[AZDbacksFan]

1 slot Either option

[bigsmoot2]

EDIT: ETC has the short list of not so hot teams below!

[endthecurse]

Just a thought... with the four worst teams, how about if we break it down like this?

TEAM 1 (the worst team) - '08 DEEE non-Baseball
TEAM 2 - '09 Sterling WBC Relics
TEAM 3 - '09 Bowman Draft WBC
TEAM 4 - '09 Bowman Chrome WBC

That way, there's no need to randomize everything - and we all know what's included with each team.

A 4-box case (for Option 2, with Sterling) will have 28 WBC relics - which may include 1/1s, Chapmans, Ichiros, Darvishs, etc.

[meyer9977]

1 slot option 2

[pskell02]

To clarify, Sterling is Bowman not Topps. I'm at lunch right now, and will update the thread when I get back to the office.

[endthecurse]

Ran through the four products pretty quickly... here are some candidates for the 4 "bad" team slots -

Los Angeles Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers
San Diego Padres
Seattle Mariners
St. Louis Cardinals
Tampa Bay Rays
Toronto Blue Jays

Because of '08 DEEE, every team has at least one auto. However, the teams above are either limited to a weak DEEE list or stuck with DEEE plus one additional Bowman Chrome/Draft garbage AU.

[armyatc22]

1 for me either option is good

[ricefan77]

i'm in for 1 slot for Option 2

[toms_cardz]

I'll take one slot, either option.

[lionsrule54]

im in for 1 spot. like option 2 better.

[pskell02]

Just got back from lunch/drinks. In my update post, I said something about randomizing the WBC cards, that was supposed to say the Sterling WBC cards. I don't want to give it all to 1 slot as it could turn out to be way too strong and make that slot unbalanced.

The 4 weakest teams would get the WBC cards from each of the other cases. e.g. Toronto gets 1 case of Draft WBC, KC gets 1 case of Draft WBC, Florida gets 1 case of BC WBC, etc.

Since there are still alot of parallels. I don't think one auto makes it a weak team. Its the teams like say if the Pirates have 2 cards on the checklist. That should be considered weak even if it does have a auto. So if the Dbacks have 9 cards per set on average with no Auto/GU and Pirates have 2 with a auto. I would still consider Pirates the weak team.

Sure, but (a) that's your personal opinion (I don't happen to agree, but that really doesn't matter); and (b) neither is one of the bottom four teams - the only reason we're discussing the relative 'weakness' of each slot.

The DBacks have Pollock and Borchering from Sterling and BDP, as well as a few half-way decent AUs from DEEE. The Pirates have Tony Sanchez, one of the best AUs from BDP (and Sterling). Each team, other than the 6-7 above, has a decent AU or RC/Chrome parallel possibility (unless I missed one).

[mwolfson22]

I could do a spot.... Option 2 is probally better.
