Hey Dave,

I ship very safe and secure. I suggest if you buy more than one slot just to do the 5.00 shipping. I will then put all the team cards in soft sleeves and a box and all hits in hard cases. They would then be shipped priority mail. Priority mail cost 4.60 to ship. So it would be the best for everyone. You get your cards treated better and faster then first class and I don't have to do multiple shipments. Because If it happens to be more than a pound of cards I will have to ship in separate packages anyway.

That sounds fair enough. Aren't you going to take a little beating on the envelopes and the holders? Just wondering.

Dave

How about the top 4 slot buyers get an extra auto? Those who risk the most should rewarded. Someone with 1 slot should not have the same chance for an extra card as someone with 4 slots.

Or better yet put 32 numbers in a hat, no names, and draw slots for any extras. This way if you have slot 2, 8 and 14 and slot 8 gets picked for an extra card you win. If you have only slot 31 and slot 31 gets pulled out for the extra card, you win!

This way the more slots you buy, the better your chance of an extra, but everyone still has a chance.

I like this theory if done before the case is opened. If this is the way it's done, I want one more slot for 4 total. I hate to be outdone by VC. LOL

Thanks,

Matt

I really like that Idea also, but we still run into the fact we don't really know how many autos we are truly going to get above the 32.

I think this is best:

After we draw the 32 names for initial slot position we put all the names back in the hat. We then draw the ten again. We have "Extra Auto Slots" numbered 1-10. First name drawn gets first slot. Then once we get past #32 auto we start on the "Extra Auto Slots" list. This will give the guys who buy the most slots the best chance of getting the extra auto. They even if extremely lucky could get all the extra autos.

Does that makes sense? I think this is the best way.

I agree.

If I understand you correctly...Have the initial drawing. Then, immediately following that, have another drawing for 10 additional slots just in case there happens to be 10 extra autos. That way everyone will know what's going on before the case is opened, and there will still be some anticipation as to if there are any extra autos and how many.

I would still like another slot for 4 total.

Thanks!

I think you guys are getting a little ridiculous now. This break is supposed to be for everyone and not just you two.
I think it would be fair to see if others are interested before you buy up all the slots.

Your right Cubfan. Eventhough there were some breaks I didn't get in on in the past that I wanted to.

Scale me back from 5 to 4 if its a problem.

I don't want to piss anyone off. But maybe in the future we should set limits if that is the case!
