Paid (I think)
 

After wrestling with my Pay Pal account and my wife's, I think I got the money through, although it may show as coming from Sheila Monahan.

By the way, if I win a card I already own, I will auction it on the B/S/T section with all proceeds to a charity of your choice.

Thanks again. I'm number 198 and 199.

Darn, missed getting a slot. Oh, well there's always next time.

When is the live drawing for this break?

I want to make sure I have enough beer and snacks for the show.

The live event is yet to be decided but will be determined soon.

Thanks,
-Nick

When you do the random will it just be a quick "here is the random and the results will posted" or will you go through the cards individually and announce the winner?

Payment sent for spots 136 & 191- Thanks for organizing. Drew

I will announce the cards on a card by card basis to make it more exciting.

Payment sent on slots 26 and 150

Thanks,

Hmm, Gone for 2 days and missed out. Oh well maybe next time. :cool:

Wow ,I missed out that fast.

If any open please pencil me in, thanks

This was 1954 Topps. Imagine the frenzy for a pre-war break!

Nick,

I have sent payment for my two slots (numbers 121 and 227.)

Please PM me tomorrow if, for some unforeseeable reason, you do not receive it. Otherwise, just mark me as paid in the first post, just like everyone else.

Best regards,

Eric

I am so conditioned to using PP F&F I used that instead of goods...guess I can't follow directions too well! Apologies if that messes things up.

Mike

Payment has been sent for 125 and 225, sorry I screwed up and left out my Net54 id. The payment was sent from icebowl1967-at-yahoo.com a couple minutes prior to my posting this message.

Just paid for my two spots.......165 and 181.

Mark

My two slots paid for! Thanks guys

Just paid for my 2 slots. Thanks!

I'm paid. Slots #159 & 244

Thanks for setting this up. Good show!

You sent a payment for $24.00 USD to Nicholas Cepero.

Slots 29 & 32, thanks!

Payment was just sent for my two slots, #108 and #142. Thanks Nick!

Mdmtx slots 120 and 136 paid.

I'd like a spot $18 via paypal.......
 

I feel like the kid that got left out of the game so......I only want one spot......$18 gift via paypal to whoever offers me one spot......I'll pay tonite so you can pocket $5 and watch me win the O'Brien Bros ! :D

Who wants to give one up? It has to be someone who has already paid please.....

peace, mike at Net54: vtgmsc

It won't happen again, Mike. Apologies again to you and all of the others who have expressed a desire to have purchased one and couldn't.

*And yes, I read the suggestion of 1 slot each but never thought in a million years (well, maybe a thousand) that there would be this many who wanted to play. Live and learn.

Perhaps there can be a fully-developed secondary market before the drawing. :D Bill G., the stockbroker, will establish an impeccable (and ethical) set of rules shortly.

I feel like Charlie Brown.......
 

:p

or "Joltin" Joe Shlabotnik

:D

peace, mike

Beatles Guy paid up for spots 34 and 51.

Nick - This is Just a suggestion to possibly save you some headache. On the first page of this thread, a 48 hour time frame is stated for payment. For clarity, and to avoid surprising anybody, I suggest you indicate there precisely when that time frame ends. Thanks again for all of your work on this! All the best, David

I know it stinks to miss out on something you really wanted to be part of. To the folks who did not get a chance, if somebody wants to PM me they can have one of my two slots, free of charge. Nick can still send me the cards and I will forward the slot on so that there is no added mailing. Just PM me and we can work out which slot is yours between us. First come first served. Update....spot filled.
Best,
Jeff

Payment sent for 173 and 183. Thanks for putting together.

$ sent for spot 89 & 202. I'll take the Aaron and Banks, thanks. :D

Love this. I could spend $100 and have a shot at a scrub autograph with a modern box, or spend $24 and have a 1:125 shot at an original Aaron, Williams, Robinson, banks etc.

Paid up

The odds are less than that.

I know I just meant of a single particular card.

Spots 146 and 185 are paid.

Thank you!

Damn. I missed out. You look away for a few seconds and poof! gone. Oh Well. Maybe next time.

Paid for spots #2 and #12. Both my numbers when I played baseball as a kid! Thanks,

Ed

Just Paid
 

For slots 48 & 62.

Trying to complete PayPal transaction but keep getting denied ("sorry, the recipient doesn't accept payments using this payment method"). I'll keep trying.

Sent in my donation...errrr....money.

MinnieMannyMookie1 : #102 PAID
 

This is for my friend, Richard. He had trouble w/ PayPal, so I used mine and he'll pay me back.

I added his address in the Notes section of the payment.

Cheers!
-John

MinnieMannyMookie1,

FYI - I also had that error recently when trying to make a paypal payment. Changing to a different card solved it for me (i.e. despite the error message, it strangely seemed to have nothing to do with the recipient!).

That's why I signed up :) Two Williams cards, Kaline, Aaron, Banks, Robinson, Mays, Snider - that's 8 really nice cards right there. So 1:31.125. I'll take those odds.

ZenPop paid on my behalf, so we're all good on slot No. 102. Thanks.

Just sent payment for my 2 spots!

Thank You

Tim

I'm bummed I missed out on this. If any backup spots are available, please put me in for 2.

Thanks!

Ryan

Got you down on the back up list Ryan.

Thanks,
-Nick

Sent mine a few minutes ago for #8 and #23. Thanks again!
Jimi

Just sent the money, thanks!

Please add me to the backup list. Was there an email sent out indicating this was live? Thought I remember reading that was going to happen.

Thanks.

We were going to send an email out after a few days to drum up support to sell the remaining slots. They sold out in about 12 hours so there was no need to send an email. I believe Nick said he had the cards and would be starting a thread the next day, but don't hold me to that. I have slept a few times. I am on the hunt for our next break. It will be single slots until everyone has a chance.....but I need to pick the right group again too or I will end up with a group or set I probably don't need and no one to play the game.

Already looking forward to the next set! Let's try a pre-war and up the ante on buy in. Could be super fun with more on the line.

Paid for my two spots! (73 & 195)

Thanks,
Scott

I am very excited and thankful for what you are doing.
Might I suggest 56 topps for the future. 10% chance to land a HOF'er!

Nick,

Payment sent.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have now paid, spots 137 and 186.
thanks again!

Paid for my two spots
 

Paid for 216 and 226.

Thanks again for putting this together!

Just paid my spot!

OK So add me to the (already too long) back up list....thanks

I will be busy most of the day today and won't be able to check Net54 until later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Sorry about the inconvenience.

There is about two and half hours until the payment deadline. As of now there are five total spots that are unpaid for.

The first five names on the reserve list are:
-ibuysportsephemera
-drmondobueno
-stlcardsfan
-BigSix
-the 'stache

That will be the priority order for the spots. Reserves may only get 1 spot each if available.

Thanks,
-Nick

once everyone is paid up...what is the timeframe for the "break"? Will it happen this weekend?

Sorry if that answer is buried somewhere in the thread.

I think the time for the break will be set at some point soon after all of the slots have been paid in full.

All five backup spots opened up. I message the first give members on the backup list. I will be gone the rest of the day and won't be checking the forums until late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Thanks,
-Nick

Ill take a spot if any are available. Thanks!

Looks like two guys snuck in at the end!

Good luck to all!

heads up
 

The last sub spot or two might have to be given to the original buyer that DIDN'T no-pay, he is paying a different way and I am not sure Nick caught it. Nick will have to address it when he gets back tomorrow. He is out for the rest of the evening.

I had posted that I would love to get in on this break but didnt get here in time. Hopefully I can be placed on the "waiting list" in case one of the others ahead of me fails to fulfill his duties as bridesmaid! :)

Just got back into town
 

Traveling the last eight hours after a brutal four day barf a roni at the beach. Just saw the message. Sent the dollars in but if too late so be it. My belly hurts. I am sick of pepto bismol.

Go Pirates!!!
