E,

I looked at the sell sheet and I didn't see how the cards rolled out of the box? Am I missing something here?

Gentlemen,
I'm new here and was wondering if someone could explain how these group box breaks happen. Or at least direct me to where I can learn how this works. Thanks.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
2 of 4 are base cards for me
1 is the last hit in the box
1 is the second hit in the box.

Oh I hope there are 8 cards in the first box.

Generally someone breaks down a product into x number of slots (generally the bigger hits: ie Relics, Auto Relics, Auto's etc), sometimes they can inlcude base cards (currently up for interest is 07 DP&P - also has lots of info for the group breaks).

Generally once you find out how much interest there is in a product, a "slot" price is determined, people will start confirming interest. If there's enough interest (slkot prices selling out), case will be ordered. Generally speaking, slots are randomly selected (we've seen them from a hat or generated by numbers - either of these being done via live web feed, or through a non particiaping board member so everyone in the groups interests are not compramised. Once slots are selected, and the case arrives, its break time. Case will be opened, hits are generally reported live or shown via web video, cards are then sorted, and shipped out to the their winners.

Basically most are a gamble. However, its also a great way for someone who can't afford a case/box to try and get either the case or box hit, and have some fun with their fellow group members.
