PayPal, Check, MO are all accepted.

Free shipping to US if you buy 2 spots. International shipping to Canada is $4 flat for bubble mailer shipping. I'll contact you if you hit a big card, as shipping may be a bit more. Sales tax charged in TN.





This is the third 1952 Topps set I have broken like this, and overall it is the best conditioned one of the three. Cards #1-310 range from VG to EX condition, while the majority of the high numbers are in GD to VG condition. The high number stars mostly have good eye appeal. Feel free to check out the listing for more scans.

In the interest of full disclosure, I did pay a fee to place this post in the main forum.

Hi Justin,

What % of the cards are graded vs ungraded ?

Also, this might be a question for the board as a whole, but how much do you think the Mantle is worth in that condition?

[packs]

More than $80. I'm in.

[whitey19thcentury]

Just bought a few spots. This should be a fun one!

[jburl]

I'll have to count later, but about 80-100 graded cards would be my estimate.

As far as the value of the Mantle, I have $8500 in it to be transparent.

Thanks to those of you who have bought in!

Hey folks,

Thanks to everyone who has bought in so far. I've extended the early bird special before I need to up the price to pay for more advertising. Grab this special before Tuesday!

Also, I'm giving away one free spot in the break. Make sure to enter the giveaway; details are here.

Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask any questions of me at burl@burlssports.com

So if I buy a spot or two i have to pay the Tennessee sales tax as well? The normal ridiculous tax rate?

As a business in the state of Tennessee, I am required by the Tennessee Department of Revenue to collect sales tax on in-state commerce.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

I'm new when it comes to breaks, how does the selection process work? Will I be e-mailed my slot number before the break starts so I know when it's my turn? Or do you draw the names randomly for each card number?

No sweat. I'll have a list of 407 names (however many spots you bought, that is how many times your name will be in the list). I will randomize that list 3 times using random.org's list randomizer. Then I'll take the random list and paste it next to a checklist. The name that comes out #1, gets the #1 Pafko. Second name, gets card #2, and so on.

For a quick video to see it in action, you can check this '52 break from last year.

I got the immortal Cliff Mapes #109. Also a bonus 61 Robin Roberts so this guy got me as a customer now. Was fun to watch too. And $75 is peanuts compared to some modern breaks that dont have the upside this one had.

I luckily got #1 Andy Pafko (psa3). Takes a little anxiety of a beak when you get a hit on card #1.

[luciobar1980]

Got myself a Bill Wight. Nice shape but OC. :/ Oh well.

Congrats on the Pafko! That card, like quite a few other cards I need, will likely always be out of reach for me unless I accept a real beater.

It's hard to tell what PSA is thinking sometimes but it's likely that crease on the back?

Looks nice to me.

Congrats.

[swarmee]

That's a big enough crease across the center of the card to get a 1.5 now. Presents really nice, but PSA has gotten much tougher. That one was graded within the past year. Maybe there's also some water damage from storage. Card might get a 2 or 2.5 if cracked out and tried again.
