Results of the Topps Tier One Group Break at Nachos Grande

I took part in my first ever group break over at Nachos Grande not too long ago, and thought I'd show off what I ended up with:

I bought in with the Orioles for $35 for a six-box half case break of 2011 Topps Tier One.  With my entry, I was also awarded the Colorado Rockies.

I only got two Tier One cards, one of which is pictured below.

The Palmer looks nice.  I also got Carlos Gonzalez, which isn't too bad.  I was disappointed that I didn't get any of the hits, but oh well, that is the fun of a group break.  I won't discourage me from participating in another.

I did like that he threw in an Orioles 'team set' from Topps Lineage.  I have said before that I really like this set, so getting all of his Orioles was definitely a bonus for me.  This is a box of cards that I may purchase sometime soon, just to see what I can pull.

I also like that the Browns were included in the set (and the break as well).  It would have been nice to get the Sisler relic from Tier One, but I think Cobb was the big name pulled this go-round.

As I said, I wouldn't be discouraged from other group breaks in the future, even though I didn't get any huge hits out of this.  The price was fair and my disappointment of no huge hits was offset by the generosity of including other cards (a box of 2011 Allen and Ginter was also included in the break).

I, myself, would like to do a group break.  I failed a couple years ago to generate enough interest in a 2006 Upper Deck Epic group break (which I think ticked off a few bloggers who wanted to sign up).  I may attempt something of that sort sometime soon.  I do know that I need to have some kind of contest or something to keep getting this blog noticed....

Sorry Guys

Yeahhh, I kinda took a week off unintentionally, but as you all may know, there isn't crap out there to open right now...

I also wanted to let everyone who signed up know that we have cancelled our case break. We did so because with the limited amount of people who signed up, the case still would be far too expensive for Chris or I to undertake. That and if I dropped that much on a case myself, I might as well hire a lawyer because my wife would end up getting half of it.

So, we will try again at a later date with a group break, it just wasn't in the cards right now...

People Needed for Case Break

Hi guys.
Chris and I still need people to sign up for our case break. Click here to get to my post about the break. 2006 UD Epic. Lots of HOF autos and relics. If your favorite team has already been called for, think of someother HOFers who you'd want. Its not a bad price ($40-$45). Help a brother out.

Come and Join Our Group Case Break

Hi guys. Chris over at on card autos asked me to pair with him to do a group box break. I've never done one before, but I'm excited to try it. Basically, you claim one or more teams for $40-$45 per team (the price is based on the total price of the case we purchase and the cost for shipping out the final cards to each claimant).

Since Chris and I want this to be special, we chose a set that was close to both our hearts (and something that has some sick hits) and that would be 2006 UD Epic. If you don't know about Epic, check Chris' blog for a synopsis.

Don't forget, there are a LOT of hall of famers in this set. So, you know, just because the Pirates are not so good right now, wouldn't a Clemente relic be sweet?

The final price may depend on if we have filled all teams. Yes, you can claim more than one team. If you have any questions, email me at: wregenthal@hotmail.com or email Chris at cubsareawesome5@aol.com

Also, comment here, or Chris' blog to sign up. We will try our best to keep this updated quickly so people don't miss out.

If your favorite team has been claimed, don't be discouraged, like I said, think of the hall of famers who are included and try to go after their teams (Killebrew, Brett, Yount, Clemente, etc.). Definitely check out the checklist!

Thanks guys!
