Default T206 Group Break Poll

I should have a set break ready to go in less than two weeks.

The question I pose:


Would you rather have a lower price point, with less hits? ($55-$60)

Or

A higher price point, with more hits? ($65-$75)

Currently the lower price point has a hall of fame hit rate of 1:4.5 slots, the higher price point will be roughly the same, but would allow for a Demmitt ST Louis to become a hit among other higher grade (and rarer back) cards, such as a T205 Mathewson, HoF Cracker Jacks, M101 HoFers, etc.



Thank you for your consideration and help.

Sean

I would prefer the lower price point myself. Is it a complete t206 set minus the big 6? If so, the thought of spending $55ish for a possible Cobb but also a possible common is more exciting than the larger cost gamble and getting stuck with the same common.

I am still deciding on the size of the break. I wanted to do it similar to the 1954 break at around 250 or 300 slots, but if I up the number of slots then I do not need to up the price to put more hits in.

Any feedback will help, I would essentially pass the 'hit' cost on to the break - so if another $1000 card goes in and it is 250 slots, the slot price would go up by $4 each, but someone has the chance to hit a huge card.

It has been mixed so far.

Sean, I don't quite understand what you would be breaking up. It says t206 break, but you also mention Cjs and a T205. Can you explain what cards would be included a little more? I would personally be more interested in it if it were to just stick to t206.

As bonus' to the break I have extra cards I was going to throw in. A PSA 4 Mathewson T205, CJ Walsh, etc.

Any non-t206 cards would specifically be big hits. It was recommended to me by a few board members to try a couple other big hits from other iconic sets.

Nothing is set in stone yet.

I actually can't find an O'hara, but do have the Demmitt, so to make up for some of the bigger cards from the set the other hits would be put in.

For instance I have 2 (or 3) potential copies of a Bat Off Cobb that can be put in, but am lacking green/red port.

Sorry if this has been asked before; however, I have a question. Is this thread meant to be a poll only or is it the one where you claim a spot in the break?

I would have asked via PM had I not thought others might be wondering the same thing.

Best regards,

Eric
