Kashin might be fun but finding a complete set might be problematic.

I am all for T205s but it might hurt to watch a set be broken.

Gotta love those t205s. I'm all in for that

[batkidiii]

Sounds like fun. Count me in!

Why don't we have SGC to be part of this so they can add "Annual N54-Group Break Set" on the slab and that something I will keep it annually and knowing all of us are carrying a set together.

I like the idea of 100-200 cards set. Anywhere from 30s 40s would be perfect.

We should stay Pre-war era.

Cant wait!!

Best,
Danny

I kinda like this idea...

I'd LOVE to be part of this...

My picks (reasonable prices and brilliantly designed sets):

Topps '54, '55, '56
Bowman '50, '51, '52
Playball '41

What about the 12 T205 Minors leaguers to start ?

[refz]

Any thoughts on a near or partial E120 set for the break? Personally I would like to keep the break pre war.

I don't see why it has to be just one set. Why not make it a bunch of cards from different sets. That way everyone has a chance of possibly getting one they want. OJ's all the way through 50's.

I like this idea too...perhaps a larger, jambalaya lot that you occasionally see from an auction company that consists of multiple cards from 3 to 8 or so different vintage sets. This lot would ideally have some star power to pull in even more participants.

Having never participated in one of these I'm very interested, particularly if we choose 1941 Play Ball.

My only question is, will we be limiting people to just one chance in order to get 72 different people involved? If a wealthy dealer decides he was to pony in for 25 places then that shuts out a lot of product and people who want to join.

All options for a group or set are on the table. My goal will be to get something with good value and that our members collect. I don't think there has been a bad suggestion yet. I probably want to stay with pre-war but that is not a definite. As for how many places each person will be allowed to buy, my idea is to let everyone buy one, then the leftovers can be doled out after that. Everyone should get a chance before members are allowed to buy more. My bigger concern is getting a group and not selling enough, leaving me with quite a few spots. At the end of it, if there are leftovers then I have no choice but to have them, since I will be footing the bill. The goal will be to sell every one to members and not have any leftover .

Sorry I haven't been around much (been studying for my mcat), but I vote for either a certain group of t206's (so I can get my first one, lol) or 48 Bowman (due to the fact that it is a smaller set and has a good amount of HOF'er RC's in it)..

[bobbyw8469]

A smaller set WILL NOT be good because you have more demand than supply. The 1948 Bowman set has less than 50 cards. A lot of members wanting to participate will be left out in the cold.

Understood. I didn't know the demand would be that much. In that case, t206 would be a good one for pre-war.

I think the original idea of the 1955 Topps works best. Anything pre-war is going to either be too small a set or take too long to acquire. I think pre-war is a great idea down the line, but if we want to do something in the next month, I think is has to be a set that can be picked up fairly quickly.

[iowadoc77]

Great idea. Definitely want to be part of this! Being a relative newbie to prewar collecting, I will yield to the experts, but I love 1941 playball. Put me down for the DiMaggio... Haha I mean the number corresponding to the randomization that leads to DiMaggio.
