Future Group/Community Break Follow-Up

A couple months ago when I brought up the idea of hosting another Group Break (aka Community Break) on the ol’ blog, I didn’t get a whole lot of feedback.

Honestly, that’s okay.  Because even though only 4 people commented on what they’d like to have broken, it seemed as if a consensus was already made.  Everyone was interested in stuff from the early 2000s and everyone was interested in Fleer products.

Works for me!  I even have our first box already.

Don't let Bonds on the front detract you.

2002 Fleer Authentix.  The box should include 3 relic or autographed cards although according to the odds, it’s likely to be 3 relics.  The autos fall 1:134 packs!  This box also features Parallel cards numbered to 250 and 150, as well as a couple insert sets (Power Alley, 2 per box and Ballpark Classics, 1 per box).

I didn’t really mean to buy this box. I put in a minimum bid in the hopes of gathering data if nothing else, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if I won.  Well, it turns out I was not disappointed.

That’s one box.  I’d like to get one from each year from 2000-2005, but I’m open if another 2002 really strikes your collective fancies since 2001 will be Pujols/Ichiro priced.  Since this covers 2002, we still need a couple more.  I’m willing to scour ebay, but as a point of reference, here are the boxes for each year I was able to find available at online retailers.  All boxes are assumed to be Hobby unless otherwise noted.

The majority of these were found at Charm City Cards, so if you want to look at descriptions and prices, that would be the place to read up.  I’m asking anyone that may potentially be interested to pick between 1-3 boxes for each year.  Then from your comments, I’ll determine what to pick up based on popularity and price.  I’m okay with buying a high priced box if it’s popular, but I’ll want to counter that with cheaper boxes for the other years.  After all, I want slots to be affordable.  If it affects your box-picking decisions one way or another, I’ll assume this break would be happening in March.  Oh, and I’ll also try to find things cheaper on ebay first.

So, what do you guys think?  Still interested?  I know I am!
