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.

Thanks,
Nick

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.

Payment made last night...thanks.

Paid last night, thanks!

Hey guys,

So we are pretty much paid for. I have updated all the spots for those who have paid. Just missing a couple more payments. I'm almost done working on the card list so that will be posted later today.


Thanks,
-Nick

Just sent my payment per rules. Looking forward to it!

I was finally able to get Paypal to work today. Sorry about the delay.

payment sent sorry about the delay

Only missing two more payments.

I know a lot of people like myself will be busy celebrating tonight so I will hold off on posting the card list until tomorrow.

Update on when the break will officially take place:
My guess is the best time to do the break would be Sunday at 8:00PM EST. Let me know what you guys think of that. I just want to give people enough time to plan to watch the break live.

Works great for me. Thanks for pulling this together.

Sunday at 8 PM works for me!!

Sun 8 in the east
 

5 pm Pacific ...perfect!

No wait...Pull my name aligned with the Babe Ruth card. That would be perfect!;)
