Anyone want to host a 'by the box' break?

RamRage · 12-24-2012, 09:49 AM

So, I was thinking that it would be fun to do a box break rather than a case break, as it is cheap and easy to do. You could break a $85 box, like 2012 Topps Magic, charge $3.50 a team slot and then if people want the cards shipping to them they can pay shipping, if not, the host keeps them. A nice break that should fill up really quick. Anyone up for hosting?

posting for discussion - if a host comes forward please resubmit

FYI all slot holders must get something. This is stated in the rules as its my understanding if your receiving something then your not gambling (which is why they're cracking down on raffles, etc)

That actually sounds like a cool idea. I wouldn't mind doing a couple boxes of stuff and having the option of whether or not the person wants the cards to pay the shipping

What I have done elsewhere is do it by division. It ends up being like $10 a spot.

I like this idea.

I'd be down for Magic or Contenders.

Higher end stuff like Supreme or Valor would also be cool.

I would be interested in hosting something like this. I have successfully hosted breaks on other sites in the past, so a small break might be good for me to get back in the game so to speak. Not sure if I have enough 'cred' yet, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to put my name out there.

The division idea sounds good to me too.

I'm hosting something similar to this right now. We bust 4-5 boxes and its usually a hit draft.

Would LOVE to do Magic, that's going to be my set! I didn't know if we were limited to cases only so I'm glad this has gone through alright. If anyone wants to do a Magic by-division I'll take a spot.
