Default 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 3 Available in Complete 1952 Topps Set Break at National

*** This is a paid advertisement ***

Just Collect, in partnership with RippingWax.com will feature a complete, 1952 Topps Baseball PSA Set Break LIVE at the National. One person from this set break will receive the hottest card in the hobby today, the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle “rookie,” that has been graded PSA 3 (an image of the actual card is pictured below). This incredible set break will be offered by VintageBreaks.com and will include all 407 1952 Topps cards graded by PSA – this includes all of the scarce high number series (cards #311-407). The live break will occur at the Vintage Breaks booth in the Case Break Pavilion at the upcoming National in Atlantic City. The date and time will be announced at www.vintagebreaks.com. Entries can be purchased now on www.VintageBreaks.com for $359.99 each while they last and if you purchase more than one spot in the break, each spot will be discounted to $349.99 each.

For those unable to attend the National you can still enter this historic 1952 Topps PSA set break. It will be streamed live online and the break video will be posted to Youtube for all to see!

This Vintage Set Break of a complete 1952 Topps PSA Set featuring the #311 Mickey Mantle PSA 3 is certain to be one of the highlights of what promises to be an exciting 2016 Atlantic City National. Once VintageBreaks.com sells all 407 entry slots, the numbers corresponding to the entrants and the cards in the set will be generated using a computerized random number generator – no pieces of paper in a hat or ping pong balls rolling in a cage – the set will be broken with true randomness . . . and in front of everyone at the National!

Entries are available now on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants need not be present at the National. To secure your spot today check out www.vintagebreaks.com. Full details and rules for the Vintage Break of the 1952 Topps PSA Set Break can be found at www.vintagebreaks.com. For any additional questions please send me a PM on here or contact Leighton Sheldon by email at Leighton@justcollect.com or by phone at (732)-828-2261.

Hey Scott/JC:

I read:
Quote:
Once VintageBreaks.com sells all 407 entry slots, the numbers corresponding to the entrants and the cards in the set will be generated using a computer random number generator
So ALL 407 has to be sold to start? What if this does not happen? Does JustCollect buy the remaining slots?
At 359.99 a slot is a lot of $$$ and only 12 spot are sold so far of the 407.

I had a idea to share, maybe getting groups of friends and share the cost. Which I considered doing myself. If you get like 3 guys, that's 120$$ each, in which we would then re-sell the card and split the price.

Thanks for the updates. When I did not see any traffic/info in about a month, I figured it was time to ask the status.

This is my first venture into a set break, so I'll hold on a little longer.

But it would be nice if the POC can put out an update every 2 weeks or so, even if it's no changes. Knowledge is power and when there's a total vacuum of no info for a month, one gets ansy.

thanks

MEB Boy

The VintageBreaks.com link takes you to the page but there is a message saying "Whoops, Our Bad". A great concept to break a 52 set, hope it gets completed.

Site is back up

Default Who audits the "computerized random number generator"?

Every state lottery has an independent audit firm on hand to supervise and vouch for the integrity of the number-selection process. Who is the independent third party that will be vouching for the integrity of the "computerized random number generator," the details of which aren't specified in the ad? Or should we just trust that the Mantle won't wind up in the hands of a related party?

++this. If you're buying a slot in this fiasco, you have money to burn.

we seem to be getting side tracked from the issue. This is a set break that was supposed to happen 4 months ago. When will they mercifully pull the plug on this? Was the buyer's money escrowed? Awful lot of press when it was supposed to go down, some information was forthcoming shortly thereafter, and since then pretty much crickets.

Perhaps it will continue through next year's National.
