The SP Game Used break is over and I have uploaded the video to my YouTube channel.
Break is video 005a and the bonuses are video 005b. Subscribe to the channel so you can see them as soon as I make them public! Bid and win an auction to see it BEFORE they are public!
Overall, I was happy with the Game Used box. This was my first, but I thought getting 3 Autos and 1 Patch card was pretty decent.
Congrats to Teeks and Elk Killer for mopping it up. I know I would be with either a Giroux or Nash auto. I didnt even realize that the Gustavsson rookie from the Collector's Choice was the best card out of the box. Its the 2nd most valuable base card next to the Tavares rookie. Not bad for a blaster.
Also congrats to BasketBalFan101 for winning the random twitter follower giveaway! Make sure to follow me on Twitter for a chance to win some free UD Black Diamond packs!
Great Break, thanks to everyone again. Please check out the Crown Royale break that is ending MONDAY NIGHT!
Also check out the DOMINION break that I have ending on Thursday night! Several great teams remaining for pretty cheap prices!

Another Break Bites the Dust
I'm fresh off another break/post for my newest listing. Another Luxury Suite box has been ripped apart and all that remains is the goodness that was inside!
Thanks to all that bid. I had a lot of new buyers, so that is a huge positive for the 643 site! We need to get the word out not only to support the current number of breakers on the site, but also help out the eBay shunned crowd that is looking for a place to bid on their favorite teams!
Please pass the word any way you can! Like the Facebook page, follow the Twitter feeds, read this blog, and don't for get to bid on the upcoming auctions! :)
We need to push to keep the site fresh! We have 10 breakers listed now so there are going to be a LOT of breaks so we need bidders to help keep us breaking even. Thats all I ask is that I break even after shipping. If I make a little, I invest that into bonuses like the Black Diamond giveaways. I'm not here to profit as I believe collecting this high-end stuff should be affordable!
I really want to buy a tin or two of 10-11 The Cup but I will need some "encouragement" to get it ordered since it retails for so much! I'll need to see some Twitter/Facebook/Blog love!

What is the "White Glove Service"?
For my breaks, I have always use protection. What I mean is that when I break open high-end cards, I know that the buyer (hopefully you), will want the pulls to be in the best shape they can be in.
To ensure this, I open my breaks while wearing white cotton gloves, similar to what museums use for handling old documents and other priceless artifacts. Another comparison can be of what the Stanley Cup curators use when they handle the cup.
I have watched a lot of sport card breaks on youtube (non 643boxbreaks.com sellers) and to see someone getting finger-fudge all over a freshly pulled autograph would upset me to no means. I don't mind having trusted breakers handle the cards, but I don't want to assume you don't mind!
Its just an added benefit I offer for the loyal customer as a thank you for bidding.

A little about Stacks, STP, Stacky, Stack-a-roo...
Ok, I thought I'd post a little about me finally...
IN THE BEGINNING
I grew up in a small Mid-western area and loved baseball. I played every chance I could get and loved every minute of it. I dreamed of growing up and playing like Jose Canseco, Frank Thomas, and Ken Griffey Jr. as these were relatively young players back in the day.
That of course, never happened, but I felt a great connection to them through collecting cards. I was introduced to this great hobby by our family friend, and my long lost brother, Mark.
THE MIDDLE YEARS
The collecting eventually tapered off as I went to High School and college, but I had a few friends that were starting to get into hockey (thanks NHL '94). We eventually started playing roller-hockey in a semi-abandoned tennis court in the summer time. We were barely old enough to drive and constantly teased the curfew laws by playing too late on most occasions. I was the goalie most of the time. I found a certain satisfaction in the denial of celebrations. Plus I was the "largest" :) . We had to make our own nets and fix our own equipment. It was paradise.
We all had our favorite team and favorite player. Whether it be the Penguins, the Avalanche, the Rangers or the, ugh... Redwings. We never missed an opportunity to taunt and rag on the other friends if our team beat theirs the night previous. It was almost like a unalienable right to do this.
GROWING UP
After High School, some went their own ways for college. A few of us were volunteered to play in a men's ice hockey league in the nearby city. We were basically fillers for the roster. We had never played ice hockey and had only skated during open skate sessions. I remember the flurry to buy second-hand pads at a local sport shop not knowing exactly what to buy. I turned into a goalie, naturally and for a self-trained G-man, I think I'm doing alright. I like to play out every now and then on LW, but my heart and soul is splattered on the goal crease.
We revisited roller-hockey in the summers and gained more players. Some of which are still great friends to this day. My hockey friends are definitely the majority of my friends right now. They are also some of the most loyal friends I have ever had.
Hockey cards came around as I was in college. I bought a couple packs of Pinnacle and Black Diamond and decided to see if I knew the names. I knew every name in the packs and found some of the coolest sport photography I had seen. The internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now, so finding some interesting hockey photos were few and far between. It was like looking at a photo album of the best players!
ADULT? WHO, ME?
To wrap up, I got a job, grew up (physically), started earning money, kept playing hockey, and now I have some extra cash to spend on the hockey card habit. I bought an auction from Teeks643 before eBay went postal on box breaking so I was extremely lucky to get linked with his site.
BOX BREAKING SOAP BOX
My philosophy is "Collecting should be fun AND affordable." Box breaking is not something that I wish to get rich at. Heck, if I just break even, I'll be happy. I'm glad this is also the mentality of Teeks and the 643boxbreaks.com site. I just want to try to allow collectors to purchase their favorite teams/players without having to spend the high price the premium cards run now days. Yes, I know the cards are filled with memorabilia, signatures, sticks, tags, patches, tape, sweat, spit, and hair samples, but I'm not sure if I could spend $100-$400 on a pack of 5 cards by myself. This is why I break! Lets get some great stuff and share it with everyone and hand out a crap-load of bonuses too!
THE END!
OK, that's about all I wanted to share. If you read it all, congratulations. If you didn't, good work. you probably saved yourself about 10 minutes :)
