So we are not doing Definitive, so how about Jumbo Series 1?

So Definitive was a Definite No.

Now the next opportunity is a case of 2025 Topps Series 1 Jumbo

I want to do a 6 box jumbo case.

I want to do it as
30 teams, which get all parallels, variations, numbered and hits.
and then base cards going to the base card spot, per box. (6 Times)
ie
Break will be 30 teams, and then per box, a base card spot, so I can just fast forward through them during the break per box, and send them to the person who wins the base card spot for that box #.

I think this would be fun and it would speed up the process of the break so we're not scanning through 45+ base cards per pack 10 times per box, 60 times total, and just sending them to the base card buyer.

What do you all think?

I’ve had two members ask me now if I would include an extra box to make it to where somebody will get something regardless. So I do have two boxes of archives hobby coming and I have two boxes of the new Chris Berman baseball coming. It would increase the spot to 85 a spot if we did 30 teams, but I could add in either a box of archives into it or for 88 a spot, two boxes of Berman Baseball.
It’s still expensive, but at least at that point you have a lot better chance of getting something. If we did it the other way where it was serial numbered, it would make the spot still way over $300 a spot. The 88 to an average collector still seems a lot, but if you get anything out of the definitive box, you’ll get your money back at least 90% of the time. And if you get the random for a bigger team like the Yanks or Dodgers etc your chances exponentially increase.
In addition, if we get one of those Berman or archive boxes that have a non baseball team autograph, it will get randomized to any team that did not get a hit from definitive to make it more even. And some of those are worth more than some of the definitive autos.

This is a tough one. Would have to think it through. Butch

I did not get into it. Too much risk!

I will be likely getting Topps Series 1. So I am going to revise my topic here. See first post. What do you all think?

What about topps chrome sapphire 2023? I would be very interested in that!

Not as many people would be interested in that. I’ve run sapphire before and it takes forever to fill and I need to buy spots into my own break. Flagship is a hit for set builders and team/player collectors

Understood, just checking!

Interesting thought on the case break proposal. Any idea of a total cost for the break?
Any idea when this product will be available?

Realistically it releases around the 12th of February.
I would expect the total to accumulate to $1400-1425 instead of $1475-1500 by mailing all the base to six spots rather than 30 teams
