last chance

This is the last chance to claim a team for the team clearance. If you have claimed a team and have not paid yet, please do so now or as soon as possible (Paypal to krustytheclown138ATyahooDOTcom, use the gift option). I would love to get these out by the end of the week and I really only want to make one trip to the post office. If you haven't claimed at team, you can by stating which team you'd like from the remaining teams in a comment. The cost is $20 for your first pick then once I close the break, you will all choose your second team from which are left. I plan on closing the break on Wednesday. Whoever is in, is in. Those who are, if you could have the payment by then, that would be great. Like I said, I'd love to get these out by the weekend.

Remaining teams:

Angels
Astros
Athletics
Brewers
Cardinals
Cubs
Diamondbacks
Giants
Mariners
Marlins
Mets
Nationals
Padres
Rangers
Rays
Rockies
Royals
Tigers
Twins
White Sox
Yankees

teams are a goin'

Eight teams have been claimed so far and four have been paid for. The four that have not can do so now (Paypal, krustytheclown138ATyahooDOTcom, use 'gift' option). I will be waiting a little longer to see if anyone else who missed it would like to join, then I'll start prepping these for delivery. I will post the remaining teams and those who did pick a team will pick their second.

Claimed teams:

Blue Jays
Braves
Dodgers
Indians
Orioles
Phillies
Pirates
Red Sox
Reds

Everything else is available. Some surprising teams (Yankees, Mets, Cubs) are still left. If you want in, its $20 for two teams, shipped. Let me know if you want in and which team you want.

once they're gone...

I forgot to mention before that when this is over, it's over. I can only do this once (unless I build up some sort of huge collection a year from now) and once I clear these out that's it. For the teams that don't get claimed, they will end up somewhere that isn't here. Not sure where yet. I have just thought of something as well. I will allow everyone who did pick a team, to pick their second team once I close this out. This seems a bit better than just getting a random team, as everyone will have two picks but one pick at a time.

Here are the claimed teams an details:

1- dominicfdny- Red sox
2- jason- Indians
3- spiegel83- Dodgers
4- sortingbyteams- Blue Jays
5- daddyohoho- Phillies
6- commishbob- Orioles
7- dogfacedgremlin- Pirates
8- chris mays- Braves

Plenty of teams left. The breakdown is:

$20 per team, which includes your team, shipping and a random team. I will pick the teams for the random teams after the 15 slots are filled or until the time is long enough where I know no one else will miss out. I also forgot to mention that if your team was a different team at one time, you get that team too. There aren't many cards that fall into this category but some examples are:

Washington Nationals get the Expos
Twins get the Senators (pre-1961)
Orioles get the St. Louis Browns

Those are just a few I know that are in there.

Again, included are most everything I have pre 2010. Some 2010's and 2011's are in there but that means that I have doubles or I'm just not interested in the set. Everything. Parallels, inserts, base cards, oddballs, etc. If it can be assigned a team, it's in there. I also have a pile of cards that are either non baseball people (ie; Allen & Ginter stuff) or cards that have two or more players on them both from different teams (stat leaders cards for example). Those will be distributed evenly across every box that gets sent out. In other words, everybody gets some. I'll make the cards with two or more players include at least one from your team if I can.

For those of you who have already claimed your team; you can pay the $20 via Paypal to my email address (krustytheclown138ATyahooDOTcom). Use the 'gift' option. Please also send me an email with your address. Thats it! You're done! If you haven't claimed youe team, do so now!

team break clearance

The group break will be put on hold for the time being. I want to change a few things before I offer it up again. I do want to start the team break though. For those of you who don't remember or just don't know, I sorted out all my cards by team. Well, everything that isn't from this year and last year (unless its a duplicate). Everything from 1976 to 2009 is in there with some '10 and '11 mixed in. Each team came anywhere from 100 to 200+ cards. I am offering up a team of your choice plus a random team for $20, which includes shipping. Shipping these won't be too cheap so the $20 is covering mostly that, its really just clearing out some excess.

Now, what I want to do is fill 15 slots, then the 15 unclaimed teams will be randomed off. Or maybe once the 15 are claimed, the 15 others can be chosen by you guys. I don't know, I'll figure it out. You may claim as many teams as you like for the $20 each and if you claim more, see the list below for cost.

Like this:

1 team: $20
2 teams: $30
3 teams: $40
4 teams: $50
etc.

Remember, thats CLAIM, if you claim 3 teams, you will still get 3 random teams for a total of six. Included is everything that I'm not currently collecting. Meaning inserts, parallels, base cards, oddballs and the like. I will also include some cards with multiple players on them, as long as at least one player is from your team.

To claim a team, simply leave a comment stating which team(s) you'd like. Once 15 slots are filled, I'll deal with the remaining teams. I'll also let everyone know when to send the payment along to get it going. Any questions feel free to ask away, just in case I may have worded things weird. I do that often.

I have forgotten to mention how big a fan I am of team portrait cards.

I miss these. Thankfully the Heritage series continues to have them included.
