Artifacts Ending, Ultimate and Prime Listed

2011-12 Artifacts is ending tonight! 

Teams still remain without a bid! There are some seriously low bids still out there too! Check it out and lets see what we get out of this box!

Artifacts is the hottest 11-12 product right now. UD released the list of Rookie Redemptions for the roman numeral cards recently. No randoming those!! (Only will have to random the wildcard redemptions)




I listed a quickie break of 2010-11 UD Ultimate + a Hitbox* for Thursday.

*A "Hitbox" is a box of cards that I will open and send out only the "Hits" or insert/non-base cards. 

I have 2 10-11 retail boxes of cards from which we will choose one at random.. Artifacts and UD Series 1. The UD Series 1 claims to have 6 Young Gun cards. Being a retail box, the Artifacts doesn't have specified hits, but is still a great product to find fun things in. I'm trying new stuff out, so let me know if the Hitbox is a keeper to do again!

I also listed  Topps Prime Football!

I'm pretty excited for my first Football break. 2011 has some great rookies that are really ripping it up right now. I'm trying some different bonuses including a bonus that will take place if the Cowboys lose on Sunday! I'm pretty indifferent on the Cowboys, but my cameraman is Redskins fan. Enough said about that! :)

A few posts back (not that anyone really reads this anyway :P ), I hinted at something great. A great bonus. Well, that got put on hold right now, but I'm still trying to match what it was. If I can still pull it off, I'll announce that it was the great bonus that never happened. 

One last note, we are working on setting up a user forum! We are starting to tweak the details and get things set up. We are planning to use this as a place for the sellers to post video links, break announcements, as well as just talk with you, the bidder! We want to start a community because that is what collecting is all about, the experience!

I plan on having a poll section as well. I want to gather feedback on what you want to see on the site. I also want to get feedback on how us as sellers are doing, what we could do better, and what you want to see on the site in the future. You are what allow us to have this site, so we want to list what you want!

More details will be listed as we get closer to a release date, so please watch for updates! Thanks so much for everyone that bids on the site. Again, you are the reason we do this!

11-12 Artifacts Posted

I posted my box of 11-12 Artifacts on the 643boxbreaks.com site! I have had great luck with this product personally, so it only makes sense to bust it for everyone!

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!

Auction ends 11/1/11!

The New Inventory

As the previous post suggest, I now have 2x of each Dominion and The Cup. 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.

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.

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 :)

Shipping Methods & UD Artifacts Ending Tonight

Well, I know its a little LATE, but the UD Artifacts break is ending... in 30 minutes or so.


In case anyone wanted to know how my shipments go out, here is a run-down.

1. Bubble-Mailer for all shipments
2. Penny-Sleeves and Plastic Top-Loaders
3. Major hits or Moppers* get a hard plastic case for extra protection!

*Moppers - (Noun) A Buyer that "mops up" during a break. See 45-70 Elk Killer, Oceans7, and Shawn198977

4. I ship USPS. If for any reason you want insurance or delivery confirmation, they can be had with an extra fee determined by your haul after the auction.

If you ever only receive base cards that you do not want for some reason, please let me know. I will refund $2 for any cards you do not want to be shipped. It saves me that much, so I might as well pass it on to you.

Good luck tonight. If you are bidding and for some reason reading this.... GO BID!!
