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 :)

Dominion Part III - Now Listed!

The past week was a spendy one! 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!

I have listed Dominion pt III on the 643boxbreaks.com 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.



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!!

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!

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!

Again, if you have any comments or questions, please let me know!!

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!!

UD Ultimate Break - One For The Record Books!

I filmed my 10-11 UD Ultimate break late last night and it was a DOOZY.

Dont forget, you too can bid on the breaks at http://643boxbreaks.com. I am not out to bankrupt you. My philosophy is to keep trading affordable yet exciting! I make little to nothing on the breaks because I just enjoy the heck out of the fun of it!

If you dont want to have the fun ruined, go here and watch Video 002 and 003, in that order. DO NOT READ ANY MORE OR SCROLL DOWN!

Ok, back to the break run-down..

So, I wasn't sure if I was digging the UD Ultimate series after watching a few breaks, but after this one, I am a converted believer that good things come in small boxes!

If you watch the video, I am a little excited after the pull. I know, its just how I get when I see stuff that good. I kept it together (for the most part, lol) so all in all, it went well!

I had to split it into two videos because it was 1080p video. My bad.

Congrats to TraderCracks from CardboardConnection.com for winning my first Twitter Giveaway! All you need to be is a follower to win! And the more followers I have means the better prizes!! (plus I may slip a few other freebies of your favorite teams/sports in there too!)

Next up is a UD Artifacts box to be posted for next week. I spend today fishing in the sun, so I'm wiped! I'm adding a pic of the redemption card too, so check it out. My camera-lady had to remind me that it was a Gretzky box. I even said that going into the video and even posted it on my auctions that way! I was too excited to remember! Thanks camera-lady!! :)

Gretzky box = Gretzky MOJO!

 

Next up is more hockey of course, but I'm also going to be starting some MLB and NFL breaks around the corner!

Thanks everyone so much for bidding! Lets keep collecting affordable for all!

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!

10-11 Panini Luxury Suite Break Posted! Ends Monday!

I just posted a 10-11 Panini Luxury Suite break to end on Monday night! I added some 10-11 UD Black Diamond Bonuses! Check it out!
http://tinyurl.com/3olnkdr
 
I have a SURPLUS of 10-11 UD Black Diamond for bonuses! If you dont get a card, you have a shot at getting 3 packs of Black Diamond!

I was CONVINCED to not sell the penguins again, so if I pull a pens card this time, I will open an entire blaster of 09-10 UD Collectors Choice. There are 13 packs in this blaster box! As always I will send them all out.

If you win base cards and do not want them or already have them, please let me know and I will refund you $2 for the shipping costs you saved me. If you plan on bidding and winning again, I can always hold them for you too!

Check out the last big hit I pulled from a box of Luxury Suite:

1/10 Dual Prime Jersey card for the Avs!
