Mike Gartner and a Potential Group Break
December 22nd, 2012
Two posts in one day?! Yep. Deal with it.
This card arrived the other day and puts me one closer to my HOF collection:
2011-12 Parkhurst Champions Autograph #95
So I know that I said I prefer a mustachioed Mike Gartner to the clean shaven version, but I love this card too much to not have it in my collection. That Capitals sweater is absolutely KILLIN’ IT on this card.
So that is…that. Now onto something I’ve wanted to do for a while. But before I do it, I want to see if there is interest.
So what is it that I want to do? A group break, duh. Here is what I’m tentatively thinking for boxes:
01-02 Fleer Greats of the Game (24 packs, 5 cards per pack, 2 autos per box)
01-02 Topps /OPC Archives (20 packs, 8 cards per pack, at least 1 auto per box)
02-03 ITG Franchises East/West (24 packs, 8 cards per pack, 1 auto & 1 memorabilia per box)
06-07 Parkhurst (24 packs, 6 cards per pack, 4 autos per box)
08-09 UD Masterpieces (18 packs, 4 cards per pack, 4 autographs and/or memorabilia cards per box)
So those are just some that I thought of that would be fun and make for good TTM cards. We could do any number of boxes or combinations or whatever. These boxes average out to about $80/box give or take. We could think of other releases that are mutually interesting. Overall, I’d like to keep it to roughly $25-$30 per person which includes shipping and all that jazz.
What do you think? Would anyone be interested? Ideas?

Put me on the maybe list. I am interested but want to know more details before I commit. I like all of those boxes but Masterpieces, Greats of the Game and Archives are my top picks. Would we get the base?
This is a little ways off but I wanted to get some feedback to figure out if I should investigate further.
We’d each get a team or two and whatever comes out of the packs, people get. Base, inserts, autos, etc. I’d put the breaks up on YouTube and probably even stream them live.
Where are you getting the Greats of the Game box from? What price? I might be interested in picking up that box

I’d be in!
I would be in (tentatively), depending on how teams were assigned.
Although, looking at the proposed boxes, I assume the Nashville/Carolina type teams would not be assignable?
The newer teams would be whatever their older counterpart was/is (Carolina = Whalers, Stars = North Stars, etc). I have some ideas in mind for assigning teams that involves people picking them, a lottery, and randomization. I’ll think more about it depending on whether or not I can get enough people.
