<br />
So far we have several breakers "unmasked" if you will. This way you will see us as human beings and not just box-breaking MACHINES!!<br />
<br />
Meet the Breakers!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.643boxbreaks.com/forum">www.643boxbreaks.com/forum</a><br />
<br />
I admit that I put some time into the install/set up of the forum, so please enjoy. We wanted to start a community effort because there was something missing from the whole box breaking world that exists online. Having something we can communicate on really helps.<br />
<br />
We are humans. We are not out to make a fast buck... or really any. We are here because of the hobby and because we want to share it all with everyone. Having a centralized forum helps you talk to us, and us talk to you somewhere other than through a YouTube video!!<br />
<br />
Most of the sellers have signed up already and there is a lot of chatter already from cards to video games!<br />
<br />

I've been pretty busy with actual-life stuff. Who knew I had one of those? I never did before...<br />
<br />
I have some hockey boxes I want to list, but it may have to wait until after the U.S. Thanksgiving week due to family being in town. I've been ordering some stuff, so I'm still set to unleash some more mid-range and high-end products. I still have a tin of The Cup and a box of Dominion BURNING a hole in my self. I'm so tempted to just open them for myself!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've also been working on a forum for the 643boxbreaks.com site. We really want to build a community for our sellers and buyers to be able to meet each other and just get to know each other. Seems corny, but I am excited to get to know my bidders. I want to provide the products you want as well as if I hit a nice card, its cool to know its going to someone that actually wants to KEEP it!!<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone for sticking with the site. We are in a semi-transitional phase with the forum, but once that hits, its game on again!<br />
<br />
Happy pre-holidays to everyone and I hope to see everyone again really soon!!<br />
<br />
Joe<br />

Fun stuff to open. I like the thicker card stock they used for all cards. Nice to see that happening more and more. We got an extra autograph card (although a redemption). It was fun to open and thanks for everyone's bids!<br />
<br />
The Video:<br />

<br />
I hope to break some more football soon! Topps Chrome is a hot item right now and I think that is where I am looking!<br />
<br />
Dominion is going to be listed soon also, for you hockey faithful! I have one box of that left as well as one box of The Cup! I really want to open them soon, so be on the look for those!<br />

I have had great luck with this product personally, so it only makes sense to bust it for everyone!<br />
<br />
My experience with it has been buying 2 packs from my LCS from different boxes and getting the box hit both times! I'm hoping my luck will translate to the box I got and turn into something AWESOME. I guess we will have to find out the fun way!<br />
<br />
Auction ends 11/1/11!<br />

It was pretty nice stuff. I know there are breakers doing cases at a time, and believe me, I wish I could do that because it was over pretty quick with only 6 cards in the box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BO-kYHw5QAmVMa2iEXJacbz0nhjeQ36RQFbtk2g4iACls1nb-KEz84O5_VobCdp-ku8AvXLuWeO0ZOr_QD129J-sODaK_aGu_1HDCAZLUJ4Nt3OxUpaQnm8IuO7LeUGnLHBW-fGb-rKB/s1600/CUP_Conacher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BO-kYHw5QAmVMa2iEXJacbz0nhjeQ36RQFbtk2g4iACls1nb-KEz84O5_VobCdp-ku8AvXLuWeO0ZOr_QD129J-sODaK_aGu_1HDCAZLUJ4Nt3OxUpaQnm8IuO7LeUGnLHBW-fGb-rKB/s400/CUP_Conacher.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>One card stuck out though. If you watched <a href="http://youtu.be/yKNzi63QmiQ">the break</a>, then you know. It was a 1/1 Legendary Cuts of Charlie Conacher. Crazy hit. I had to do <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Conacher">some research</a> because I honestly didnt know who he was. It turns out he was a pretty important Toronto player from the 30's and 40's. He was the <a href="http://mapleleafslegends.blogspot.com/2008/04/charlie-conacher.html">"Bobby Hull of hockey BEFORE Bobby Hull"</a>, one article proclaims!<br />
<br />
Its pretty cool to see such history come alive in a simple pack of trading cards. I, myself, learned more about the history of a great hockey player and Hall of Famer, and Subterfuge was able to get a great card that he is going to really enjoy (as he said from an excited email). That's what it is all about. Learning about the past and passing it on to someone that will enjoy it. Ok, sappy bit is now over. Thanks again to everyone that bid on the teams!!<br />

We live relatively close to the Wild and in the past have made the trip to see a game. I'm not a Wild fan. Simply put. I dont dig the team, the players, or even the announcers, so I go to see the "other" team.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUkImi0s_MCHiVtjvqffYAUak16hbOOc6vKzuYagVNLDbBhWSYHBJCxZYU52uaMxdsLTBFnAowXzF6u_fo5os0YgrJQkXu9stIIp3zymIUFPktlSjTmsw33C6rZgXa4AoWmP2FTAp0ouy/s1600/prosser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUkImi0s_MCHiVtjvqffYAUak16hbOOc6vKzuYagVNLDbBhWSYHBJCxZYU52uaMxdsLTBFnAowXzF6u_fo5os0YgrJQkXu9stIIp3zymIUFPktlSjTmsw33C6rZgXa4AoWmP2FTAp0ouy/s200/prosser.jpg" width="144" /></a>Well, I guess one connection to the Wild I have, besides pulling them in every Dominion box thus far, is that they drafted Nate Prosser.<br />
<br />
Nate is an old Sioux Falls Stampede Alumni so I had to pick up his Cup card when I started to see them hit eBay. I know the card wont erupt in value, but I thought it was really cool to have it. Nate used to ref our men's league hockey games on Sunday nights for some extra cash.<br />
<br />
Nate is one heck of a guy and was always mostly quiet from what I remember of him. I guess I didn't take particular notice of the Stampede refs other than during period breaks sometimes they would pick up a stick wow us. They were definitely the best refs we ever have had and wouldn't take crap. Good luck in the NHL Nate. Hope you are the next Bourque!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> think the fondest memory I have of sharing the same ice with some amazing talent was back in 2001. We had a local hockey tournament for any towns with adult teams in the region. I was slated to play goal on the team of the organizer of the tournament. He also happened to be the rink manager and the equipment manager of the Stampede. He kept telling me that we were going to have a really good team, but I wasn't so sure after I heard many talented friends were playing on other teams.<br />
<br />
When the tournament time came around, I quickly found out that we were going to be quite a team to beat. I learned that <span style="font-size: small;">a couple Stampede boys would be joining us. If you know your Stampede history, this can be quite exciting as we had a nice roster at the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=67729">Jacob Micflikier</a>, who now plays for the AHL's Hershey Bears was one of the standouts. I just remember everyone telling me how good he was and then me confirming it after the first warm-ups...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The next stand-in is the most note-worthy. It was <a href="http://espn.go.com/nhl/player/_/id/3045/thomas-vanek">Thomas Vanek</a>. Holy crap right? Well, lets just say the hardest part of the whole tournament was during warm-ups. He had 4 more gears than anyone and just had "it". Amazing stuff to watch. I had one of the best seats in the house too. I felt bad for the other goalies because they were just ripping them up if they were able to get close.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The weeks after I had a bunch of my Friday night leaguers asking me how good they were. I just confirmed that I didnt see many pucks in the warm-ups and I could feel every shot that hit me, even in the leg pads. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Truth be told, I dont remember a ton about the tournament. I was just young back then. It didnt really hit me as something important to remember until I heard Vanek was drafted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">If I could, I'd go back to that weekend and live it up again and get some pucks signed. I'm sure Vanek and Micflikier dont remember that tournament, but it sure made some memories for a lot of us here!</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=list&cat=HBoxbrea_jholman"><img border="0" height="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bCUAGv7zAERxXd-iYN3alrhsbwtwscadgYAZ28U4pzNeB0VEuf7EfVP_DiaHycanL0NDm1RX5QJ8VyUvu1JrPuIZEZalWn6ck1dIoM7sSprtqNAVcJssBihQT1pGtaFKjhBKf_5OaUAJ/s200/STP40-CUP.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
I wanted to verify this large of an investment was OK, so here is how it <b>could </b>have went down:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Honey, I want to buy a pack of hockey cards"</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: "Why do you need to ask me?"</div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Because it costs over $400...."</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: "NO." "Wait.. how many cards do you get?"</div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Well..."</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: "How Many, Stacks?" (No she doesnt call me Stacks :P )</div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Just 5 usually..."</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: "I'm glad you asked. NO."</div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Ok. I wont order another one then"</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: "ANOTHER ONE???"</div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><b>Me: "Ya, I have two on the way. Great deal online!"</b></div><div style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Wife: FACEPALM</div><br />
OK, that wasn't close to how it went. Mrs. STP is much more trusting and actually really likes hockey card collecting. I just had to show her that the bidders on <a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/">643boxbreaks.com</a> are the best on the internet and are just as addicted to cardboard as I am!<br />
<br />
So there you go. A slice of my everyday. Listing breaks, ordering "inventory" :) and having a great time along the way! I'm just so thankful she likes it too!!<br />

I, for one, am OK with change in this area. I used to give out a "bonus" card for every one that got 5+ teams in my auctions. While I thought it was cool, there is no way for me to know what a buyer actually wanted. Someone might be buying a team just for a certain player or because it is a cheap price. The last thing I want to do is give someone what I think is a "bonus" when they could give a crap about the team or the player!<br />
<br />
The new idea is to keep it random and with lady luck. As anyone that has watched my last video knows, I am trying to get away from Random.org as much as possible. I picked up some NHL team bottle caps and now use those for my giveaways. I think its a better system as its not nearly as boring as watching Random.org.<br />
<br />
As for when a penguins card is hit, I usually try to reward everyone by opening something extra. While I know that blaster boxes were OK given the quality of the hits so far, I want to be prepared for the bigger, better cards I may see. I also will gauge my Pens bonuses on the outcome of the box. If the box ends well, then I will be more likely to "go for it" with a more expensive box/pack.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another bonus I am going to test is a "Hit Box". What this means is that if I activate the bonus, either through a nice pens card or if I feel like it, I will open up a larger box with more cards, such as a UD Series 1 box, etc and only send out the hits/insert cards. This way you get what you want without the filler and I can reward everyone for their bidding enthusiasm!<br />
<br />
If you have any favorites on the bonuses either I or any of the other sellers have done, please let me know. I really want to find the best method that everyone will enjoy. We strive to give everyone the best service as well as the most enjoyable time. That is what hopefully makes us as a site stand out!<br />

What I didn't mention was that I also have a box of 11-12 Artifacts as well. I know its a hot item on the site because of its recent release.<br />
<br />
Edmonton seems like it will the hot team for a while now with RNH starting for the team. That rookie redemption will be the hot one, I feel, next to the Avs' Landy.<br />
<br />
I've had some good luck with 11-12 Artifacts so far. I have bought 2 packs on separate occasions from separate boxes from my LCS to see what it was like. Both times I got either the dual or triple swatch box hits! The first one was Sabers Berbe/Ennis/Vanek jersey hit /150 and the second time was a Canadians Markov/Kostitsyn patch hit /50. Not too shabby! Overall the cards are pretty cool. Similar look to the old Artifacts style. The featured player is cut out of the scene and placed on a "artifact-y" background. The patch/fabric/autograph inserts are nice and limited too. Lots of parallels to keep hunters happy and of course, more 1/1 cards for us to wish we had :)<br />
<br />

I received my first of two new Dominion boxes as well as the first of 2 tins of The Cup. Yes, I finally broke down and shelled out the cash for The Cup. I have watched so many breaks of it online. It is amazing stuff, thats for sure. I just wanted to try it out for myself and see what all the hype was about!<br />
<br />
I have<a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=list&cat=HBoxbrea_jholman"> listed Dominion pt III</a> on the <a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/">643boxbreaks.com</a> site ending next Monday. I set the auction prices in the middle of the road. If one bid wins them, you will have one heck of a deal on your hands.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=list&cat=HBoxbrea_jholman"><img border="0" height="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1ZuFhibHvGiwFfcHysVBcs6CM-LKD8dgbjq3X5heMgeu8vQZTT2fQlrrMvGfYU8nu4MLrwKZd0nXQ1MV3C0i8Sfx1i7Gaox1XLMBqJMZXVTrLxxfiE2LYpy2EpKEX-ypoD9DfzIju_ZU/s200/STP40-DOM01r.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I am also going to list a break ending next Thursday. I haven't decided if it will be The Cup or Dominion yet. I really want to break a tin of The Cup, so I am thinking I will alternate between Dominion and The Cup for a couple weeks of fun!!<br />
<br />
A new change I am going to try is breaking twice a week and then shipping both breaks at the same time. I find this really helps reduce the total time I spend addressing, packing, etc. so I am going to try that for the next few breaks. If you know you are not going to bid on the second break or this just doesnt work for you, please let me know. I usually get the cards in the mail within 2 days so one extra shouldn't be a large problem, I dont think. This way it also helps get the second break out a lot quicker!<br />
<br />
Another new change is that I have upgraded my card holders for bigger hits. I ordered a couple boxes of one-touch magnetic holders, so if you get a nice, thick hit in the Dominion or Cup breaks, I will put the cards in these holders now. Those of you that were in the last Dominion break and got hits will know that most of the cards were send out in screw-down holders. Hopefully this will save you a step from having to re-slab your big hits!<br />
<br />
Again, if you have any comments or questions, please let me know!!<br />

After the popularity of the <a href="http://youtu.be/9ObtYzqvEoE">last box</a>, I had to revisit the set!<br />
<br />
I listed it last night and AFTER I listed the set, I remembered that I was going to try out a new promo. I picked up some 10-11 RC's of the more popular rookies. I am numbering 6 of the RC's I have and during the break, I am going to roll a single die. Whatever number comes up, I am going to give away that RC!<br />
<br />
<u>This Break's RC's include:</u><br />
#1 - 10-11 OPC Retro Rainbow Jeff Skinner <br />
#2 - 10-11 OPC P.K. Subban<br />
#3 - 10-11 Pinnacle Nino Niederreiter<br />
#4 - 10-11 UD YG Jamie Arniel<br />
#5 - 10-11 UD Victory Sergei Bobrovsky<br />
#6 - TBD<br />
<br />
There are a lot of improvements happening to the <a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/">643boxbreaks.com</a> site as well as how us as breakers perform our breaks.

I posted the 2011 Allen and Ginter box that has been staring at you for the last few breaks...<br />

A tip for anyone bidding: All non-baseball/non-sport cards will be given away to ALL teams, so the more teams you get, the much better chance you have at getting those cards! There are a LOT of these cards, too, so its worthwhile to check out what you could get... Like A JFK hair sample!!<br />
<br />
I am anxious to see what is inside. Any rip cards will be RIPPED unless the player on the front is in the HOF. I'm not sure if there are throwback cards on rip cards, so get ready to RIP!<br />
<br />
Hopefully we have some baseball fans on the site. I'm excited to see what happens!<br />
<br />
STP40StackThePads40http://www.blogger.com/profile/04630799748727138325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173286980929736304.post-21991853270674765822011-09-24T13:25:00.000-07:002011-09-24T13:25:36.483-07:00Upcoming giveaway teaser...I dont want to reveal too much, but I recently spent pretty much all of the earnings thus far (as little as they are) and some out-of-pocket cash on some extra giveaways that I am going to do during an upcoming break. I am going to announce it in the auction listing, so be prepared for something "Great". I will reveal more once I have the item(s) in my possession as they are being shipped to me now from Canada.<br />
<br />
My philosophy is that I want break even. I know sometimes it seems like we are making money hand over fist, but thats not the case. The <a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/">643 team</a> believes in bonuses so much that it hurts. Sometimes people dont factor in the hidden costs of what we do. The cards, packaging and shipping are the tangible items, but please dont forget about the time that we put into it! When an auction ends, I am always watching and as soon as all teams end, I am filling out the team sheet as well as starting to hunt for bonuses to give away to the 5+ team buyers.<br />
<br />
After that, it takes about 2 hours for arm and hand makeup and vocal warm-ups. At this point I am almost ready, but I then find that I need to calm my nerves with a quick shot of Jim Beam and a Cuban Cigar. Once that is done, I have to take a 30 minute steam, shower off all of the makeup, and I am relaxed and ready to go. I have my hair fixed after it falls flat in the shower, and comb my beard. After about 20 push-ups, I'm psyched up enough to rip open the cards.<br />
<br />
Ok, that last paragraph is completely made up, but it does take time to make the final product. I like to post-produce my videos to give them a polished look. It takes more time, but its way worth it when the breaks are published out on youtube for millions of eyes. It almost gives a degree of free advertising to the causal onlooker. It also lets me join two videos into one, if they are short enough. This way you can watch it all without having to click more links!<br />
<br />
As usual, if anyone has any suggestions to how I do my breaks, please feel free to email me @ <a href="mailto:StackThePads40@gmail.com">StackThePads40@gmail.com</a>. I am open to suggestions on how to make things better for you!<br />

<br />
I really liked the product so I decided to order another box. Actually I ordered it before my break, so hopefully it will arrive soon as I want to post it ASAP!<br />
<br />
Its addicting, you know? Just opening up these high-end packs and seeing what they have in them is like a drug. I find that when I film the breaks, I try to make sure the cards, etc are in focus so the viewer can see them more than myself actually looking at the card! Its crazy because after the break I usually do a recap for myself because I tend to miss the fine details of the cards or the cards themselves. For example, I opened up a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrR0eEkHoQc">Collectors Choice</a> blaster with the box of Game Used and I didnt even realize the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrR0eEkHoQc&feature=player_detailpage#t=405s">Jonas Gustavsson rookie card </a>until after the break! Next to the Tavares RC, that is the best base card in the set!<br />

<b>NE 93807347</b><br />
<br />
Sure, no superstar numbers in the middle of it, but I still have a great feeling about this! It glows with blue-ness!<br />
<a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=list&cat=HBoxbrea_jholman">Last day to bid on the teams!</a> There are still 3 without bids! Its highly likely that one bid will buy them!<br />
<br />
Good luck! I can't wait to get this opened up!!<br />

Lower Prices!Dominion has about a day left on the bidding. I have <a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=list&cat=HBoxbrea_jholman">3 teams without bids</a>, so I decided to spice things up by lowering the initial price... again!<br />
<br />
Since other teams have been bid up more than I thought they would be, I am lowering the price of the 3 teams left.<br />
<br />
<b>The 3 teams are:</b><br />
<a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=display&item=2563">Dallas $5.99</a><br />
<a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=display&item=2564">Detroit $18.99</a><br />
<a href="http://643boxbreaks.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?action=display&item=2579">Toronto$10.99</a><br />
<br />
I think by far Detroit has the sickest cards out of the teams left. Its very hard for me to say that since I am pretty much anti-red wing.<br />
<br />
If Dominion goes over well, I am going to order a tin or two of The Cup. I have been watching a lot of breaks featuring The Cup lately and I'm torn between the amazing quality and the number of cards per tin. I wanted to try Dominion because there are 8 cards per box, but I have seen most with 9 to 11 in them.<br />
<br />
If you want me to list The Cup or Dominion, by all means, email me and let me know that you would be interested! I know its high-priced, but man, its gorgeous too.<br />

Bad for me, but a HECK of a deal for everyone else!!<br />
<br />
I will be listing the Allen and Ginter Baseball box break soon as well. I'm guessing the baseball crowd wont be as ravenous as the hockey crowd, but I thought I'd give it a go. perhaps we can get a new audience on the site as well.<br />
<br />
Again, if anyone has any comments or suggestions, please let me know!<br />
