07 Topps Draft Picks and Prospects

[iluvfish2]

As requested, lets see how much interest there is in this! Chris gave me a quote for a 8 box case. I've done the math and figured out what the shipping rates would be (my math comes up with about 61 cards per slot (768 base + 192 chromes = 960 base/32 teams = 30 cards/team (on average) x 2 teams/slot = 60 cards +1 "hit" = 61 cards).

Weight came up about 8 oz w/out any packing materials (1.4 oz for case, and 6. something oz for the 61 SP cards I used for an example). So my guess at Priority would be the safest bet as I/we could use the Priority mail boxes, which would protect the box and/or winners contents. Also adds free DC (presuming I get your address via paypal). So you figure given this we're at 4.85 to ship the packages w/out the costs of cases and/or materials (peanuts I .

If this is wanted to be a live break with video, I can't host. The only way I can do a live break is to open the box, and scan the bigger hits, and post them. I've got a webcam (never been tested), however I think my pc is to slow and/or the memory required would bog the system down, nor do I have the space in my room to do it without some major modification's.

Interest seems to be that teams will be drawn randomly ( via a hat? or randomly picked via a number generator through excel?), and same could be done with the slot owners? Each Slot owner would be 2 teams.

lots of little things to try and work out first. I've contact Chris to see about case price.

thats it final price and its a go.
if we do a hit and 2 teams for around 35 dollars i am in for a slot but we gotta find some way to video the team selection and the break. to much trust required to get enough people to be" in" if we don't video tape it.

[JS419]

if you guys cant find any1 then i will tape it and if you guys dont trust me with the money cz im new then one of you guys can collect all the money then buy the box and have it shipped to me just a thought cuz i am interested in a few slots

[kelleys1]

I would be in for a slot...maybe you could have someone with a camera do the slots and then have iluvfish do they break as he has been on here for awhile.

[Sheetzman]

that could be good. works for me. draw the slots and teams on you tube by js419 and pay fish and have him do the break just need a price per slot. if its low enough i may take 2 slots to help fill. lets us know fish.

[JS419]

im cool with that..

I like this idea (having someone else determine the slots) and I can do the break (will break it down box by box, posting the scans of hits (should be 2 per box) and/or major rookies pulled. If by chance we pull an extra "hit" we'll do a random drawing for it. I'm out of town next Tuesday night. Presuming we could fill the break over the weekend, I could break this on Wednesday night at the ealiest (would probably be ideal as this would get everyone the cards on Saturday as I should be able to get everything out by Thursday - all shipments would be priority as stated and will have dc)

Chris just got back with me. I think we're good to go at 20.00 per slot. I've got about 5-7 bucks in wiggle room (helps cover any shortages on shipping if I've undercalculated weights, and the extra would cover my supplies - cases/sleeves) if I've figured out correct (2.9% + .35 per paypal transaction, so we'll have 0.93 in pp fees per transaction on one slot, ). I know we've got at least one person that doesn't want to pay via pp. I've broken the slot prices down below if this helps anyone.

Slot Prices:

1 Slot 20.00 (paid via paypal)
1 Slot 19.25 (MO/Check)

If you'd like a 2nd slot (paid at the same time as the first, $3.75 discount) - would prefer to see if we can get 12 different people interested in this first. If it looks like interest is limited, then we can open this up for multiple slots, sound fair? I'll post my paypal address up once we see exactly how many people/slots we have interest in. Since I'm hosting, and this isn't being video taped, I can not participate.

2 Slots 36.25 (paid via paypal)
2 Slots 34.75 (MO/Check)

I would be interested in 2 slots(or more) and unlike the above previous posts don't feel that this needs videotaped if you are doing it. Thanks.

[ebacardi2]

I'll take one

[Sheetzman]

i'd take two slots just need a mailing addy
