Hey Scott/JC:

I read:

Once VintageBreaks.com sells all 407 entry slots, the numbers corresponding to the entrants and the cards in the set will be generated using a computer random number generator

So ALL 407 has to be sold to start? What if this does not happen? Does JustCollect buy the remaining slots?
At 359.99 a slot is a lot of $$$ and only 12 spot are sold so far of the 407.

I had a idea to share, maybe getting groups of friends and share the cost. Which I considered doing myself. If you get like 3 guys, that's 120$$ each, in which we would then re-sell the card and split the price.

While it is anticipated that all 407 slots will sell out in advance of the expected VintageBreak at the National, in the event that the break does not sell out, the entry period will be extended, within reason, and the break will occur live, online at a date selected and announced upon the full sellout of the break.

An amazing 136 of the 407 cards are graded PSA 5 or better! That’s more than 33% of the set in EXCELLENT or better condition! A list of all of the cards and the associated grades should be available on the www.VintageBreaks.com website later today.

The full list of grades are now available in addition to the images of 14 cards.

To clarify, since some have asked, you do not need to be present to enter the contest (you can do so online) and you do not have to attend the National to receive your prize.

Weekend bump.

You should consider doing a satellite sale. Sell 20 tickets for say 20 bucks winner gets an entry into the break. While a lot of people might not risk $360 plenty will take a shot at $10 or $20. Plus it gives you a little more profit.

The poker player in me understands the satellite concept and while I greatly appreciate the suggestion, it would create a dynamic that would result in the offering being illegal.

This is like a fun cardboard lottery. The difference between this set break and the lottery is that you're guaranteed to get something. What is the going rate for a "3" graded Mantle these days? Worst case is that you get a card that may be worth a couple of bucks. How many of the cards have a value of over $350?

Still at 244. What is the within reason date? Curious for those who bought in...including myself

My first time buying into something like this and not happy how this is shaking out. Bought one spot for me and one for a sick friend and was trying to give him something fun to focus on. Kind of sucks to be in limbo. If they couldn't sell a few spots at the show this doesn't sound hopeful at all.

Sorry to hear that, and good on you for trying to take his mind off of things.

I would give them a chance to explain what they are going to do before breaking out the tar and feathers. They are good guys; give peace a chance.
