I would like one more random spot please.

Thanks

Put me down for two more for a revised total of 6. First four are paid already. Will pay for these 2 in a few minutes!!! I hope this thing sells out soon or I may own more!!!

Mark

I don't believe you should be paying for these yet per the rules. (see post 154)

Looking forward to the break!!!

My bad Mark, you were an exception. Back to my cubby hole....

I'll take 1 more spot for a total of 3. Please just pick a random number for my 3rd spot.

Thanks Nick....and as the person sponsoring this break I want to let everyone know that in the next week Nick and I will make a decision on when to halt the break being open for buying of slots. At that time I will take the rest of the slots and we will do the live break.....If I win something, hooray for me. I hope all slots get sold to our members but we don't want to leave it hanging forever. Thanks a ton to everyone who has bought spots so far. Nick and (especially) I :) appreciate it. Good luck to everyone on the break. Happy holidays to one and all.

I'll take 2 more random slots for a total of 4.

Thanks,
-Nick

I'll take 10 total.

Nick,

Whoops. I only wanted 3 total (not 5). I forgot I had requested 2 additional ones previously while I was out of town. Can you please remove the last 2 to leave me with 3 total. Thanks! Sorry about that and thanks for checking!

Taylor

Not a problem. Will take off two when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Nick

I will take #55 if open or another random for a total of 2.

I'll take a 5th spot on #35 if it's open, if not random is fine.

When we reach the threshold I will buy the rest of the slots so Leon doesn't need to.

Sean

Announcement: Threshold

Since the amount of spots being taken has slowed down. Leon suggested that we place a threshold. Sean was gracious enough to offer to buy the remaining spots after we reach the threshold. Leon and I discussed the timeframes for the threshold and payments.

We decided that the threshold will take effect tomorrow at midnight. I will post and message everyone about the payment information once we reach this threshold.

If you want any more spots please post soon, as the remaining spots will close on 12/29 at 12:00AM.


Thanks,
-Nick

I will take two random slots. Thank you.

Put me down for 2 random spots.


I have no idea (or real interest) about these issues, so I figure that means I'll probably win something big :rolleyes:

Slot #58
 

I will take slot #58.

One more. Spot 157.

I will take one more random spot.

I'll take 2 more spots #70 & #215 or a random if taken

Thanks,
-Nick

1 spot
 

I'll take 1 spot.

Thanks

I'll take one spot, if available...
 

Thanks! (Edit: spot #62 if available...)

I'll take one more spot. #98 please. Thanks!

Even though we were supposed to stop the open slots at 12am I have let Nick know that we should take these spots that are being requested. Once Nick checks in this morning (or whenever he does) and updates the list, and asks for payment, it will be closed. Thanks to all for playing and good luck!!

Still OPEN......
 

Another quick update. Nick is unexpectedly out of pocket until later today. We will leave the Break slot buying open until Nick posts the payment info, which will probably be later today. I just go with the flow on this stuff but if anyone still wants a spot, the slots not spoken for are open and still able to be bought. Thanks to all....

***If anyone will be out of pocket for more than a few days, over this New Year when payment info is given and won't be able to pay at that time, please PM me or Nick and we will hold your spot(s) for you. One member has already done that....and it's appreciated.

I love that phrase! I have never heard it before. Every day at work I feel as though I am "out of pocket"!

What the heck, I'll take 5 more random spots (10 total). I won a small football bet yesterday, it'll be fun to parlay that into cards.

I'll take two more random spots, that brings me to (3)

Hey guys,
I'm at dinner after a very long day of working on fixing up my cousins new house. I should be free in about an hour or so. I will update and then finally send you guys the payment info.

Quick Question...
 

Hi Nick,

I have been wondering about something regarding this break. If it has already been answered, please pardon the redundant nature of this question.

When the '54 Topps Set Break took place, there was a variable which was not in place for this one. After you ran slot/spot numbers through the computer "randomizer," it yielded a list. From this list, you were able to determine which Net54 member received which card.

This method was very straightforward. If said member was supposed to receive card #123, they knew, ahead of time, which particular card that would be.

With this break, how will we know, as the break occurs, who will receive which card? Will the person who receives the Babe Ruth be the one who receives, "Card #1" or will there be some other method in place?

PLEASE LET US KNOW BEFORE THE BREAK. It would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Eric

Hey Eric,

I will generate a list and assign each card a random number. I will spread out the bigger cards throughout the random number assignment so it will keep people watching the live broadcast and once the live broadcast is over I will officially publish the list.

Let me know if that makes sense and thanks for the question.

-Nick

Pardon my naïveté. How can you do both?

If you're going to assign random numbers, then I suggest you do it and then stick to a published list. If you're going to spread out the bigger cards to encourage viewers to watch the majority (or entirety) of the broadcast, then I suggest you do that and stick to a published list.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Eric

PM sent with all my info. Thank you again for doing this.

A list will definitely published and that will be published tomorrow. I haven't had time with the holidays to draft it but rest assured it will be a fair and transparent break as usual.

Thanks,
-Nick

PM sent.

This is the first 'break' I have participated in. Thank you for organizing and for making it easy!

Andrew

+1...not my first break, but Nick definitely makes it easy.

I just updated those who have paid.

I have two people who have paid but I don't know who sent the payment because there was no private message sent or no username in the description of the payment.

-Todd Marcum

-Press Box News Service

Please send me a PM.

Thanks,
-Nick

Payments updated.

Thanks,
-Nick

I may have missed this, but when do you plan to do the drawing and is there a link to watch.

Thanks again.

Ben

Hey Ben,

Once the break is completely paid for I will post a time and date for the live broadcast. I will post the link the day of the broadcast which will be done on Ustream. It will be recorded for those who miss it.

Thanks for the question,
-Nick

Nick,

Can't ask for more than that...much appreciated.

And many thanks for doing this.

Best regards,

Eric

paid
 

Tried three times to send a PM. Not working so I'll try this. Anyway Slot 138 deadballfreaK paid by paypal. Name on account Kenneth Madden.

I tried to send a PM as well - Scott6043 paid for 6 slots


Name on account - Scott Maynard

thanks

Just sent LEON a PM
 

Like we did last time :)

RIch

I am getting PMs which is fine....but posting that you paid, here, is fine too if your pm's are not behaving properly. We'll make it work, no one will get overlooked. Our hosting company is still working the PM/email issues. It seems several service providers are the culprits. I don't expect all of the email issues to be worked out in the next few days. I think it will take a week or two....

Thanks to all who have paid so far.....some members will be getting some really nice cards....

If a back up is needed let me know. Thanks

tried several times, my PM isn't working.
