Net54baseball Vintage Group Break: 1930s/40s Large Shoebox Collection! Ruth & More!

The list of cards is randomized against the list of people participating.

Each card in this list will receive a new number, the current numbers are nothing more than placeholder identifiers.

To Nick/Leon:
I think the only thing not addressed is the Random.Org. (rank order)
How many times will the list get randomized and made final? I think you did 4 times last break

Quick example how it works (using 10 spots)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (original list)
10,2,4,6,8,1,3,5,7,9 (1st random)
8,7,4,2,10,9,5,6,3,1 (2nd random)
4,9,10,2,5,1,8,3,7,6 (3rd random)
2,5,4,8,1,9,3,10,6,7 (finalized order/results)

So who ever got spot #1, would get card #2 in the list
Spot #2, would get card #5
Spot #3, would get card #4
Spot #4, would get card #8....see how it works now, just with more people & cards

Why can't all the cards be written down, thrown in a tumbler/basket, and randomly draw a card as the list goes. Who ever gets what gets what. Completely random!! Just my $.02

I think the format is great and I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Pulling names out of a hat would be very time consuming. Most online breaks use a randomizer for something like this.

Hey guys,

Sorry for not responding to a few of the questions, I've been out of town for two days.

The random will be done via random.org, the participant list will be randomed. I will do the random for the participant list 5 times. Then I will match the randomed participant list with the card list on an excel sheet. I will go revealing each card starting with #1 through #263, with the participant who received that card. All this will be done will via Ustream.

I feel just doing the random for the participant five times will be sufficient in determining the random for the break. Doing the random for the card list will further complicate the break because I already have all 263 cards in order for the live break tomorrow. I just want to give you a quick glance at the card during the live break just to get a feel for the relative condition of each card. I will also try to take some picture scans of those cards, in case trades/sales after the break might occur. I have a three hour drive back home tomorrow so I'm guessing I will be home at about 2:00PM EST or so.

Hope that makes sense and answers some of your questions.

Thanks,
-Nick

The format sounds perfect, really looking forward to it. Thanks Nick for putting this together!

And looking forward to the 8PM break will help me get through two hours of my son's hockey practice as well as an hour drive each way this afternoon!!!
