2014 Topps Fire Charity Case Break for St.JudeChildren'sResearchHospital

Remember back in September when I won that case of Topps Fire? Well, it's coming out next month so here are the details for my charity case break. The product has been pushed back to 2/4. I am tentatively scheduling the break for 2/8.

Teams will start with a $25 minimum bid. You may outbid the high bidder with bids in increments of $1. For example, if the Cowboys have a $25 bid, you could bid $26 to become the high bidder.

NOTE: This price does NOT include shipping. I will charge exact shipping rates, which comes out to $4-6 for US customers (depending on how many cards you get). International rates may vary. You may want to skip the commons to reduce your shipping rate.

As we get closer to the break, I may put unclaimed teams on eBay.

You will receive all of the cards from your team, unless you would rather try to reduce your shipping rate. It's your call.

Multiple player cards will be handled as followed:

1. For vertical cards, the card goes to the designated team on top.
2. For horizontal cards, the card goes to the designated team on the right.
3. Any other situations would be handled in a random with all teams involved.

I will donate half of the proceeds of the break (not including shipping) to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. That could amount to about $500 if things go well!

You can bid in the following ways:

1. Comment on this post.
2. Tweet me @batcavelv
3. Email me at batcavelv@comcast.net

I will try to update bids as soon as possible. I will stop taking bids around 2/4. This gives you a few days to pay before the break. If payment is not received by the break, I reserve the right to hold the break or sell the team to another person.

If I am unable to sell all 32 teams at full price, I reserve the right to cancel the break. In this instance, the case would be sold and 50% of the sale would go to St. Jude.

PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS: Since I am donating half of the money (before shipping) to charity, I am asking that you pay via Paypal using the "family and friends" option. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, I ask that you pay a bit extra to cover the Paypal fees.

Keep in mind that shipping is an additional fee to your bid. I charge $6 for Priority Flat-Rate Padded Envelope. If your package weighs 13 ounces or less, I can send it First Class Mail if you prefer. This would save you a few dollars. I will refund the difference in this instance. My Paypal ID is batcavelv@comcast.net

Below are the available teams, followed by the current bid and high bidder. Good luck!

1. Arizona $25 Anthony paid (- shipping)
2. Atlanta $25 Ron paid shipped 2/23 (partial refund 3/2)
3. Baltimore 3/$50 Bryan paid

Cards featuring now defunct teams will go to the new franchise. For example, Montreal would count as Washington. Multiplayer cards will go to the team of the player featured on the top/right side of the card.

I will be opening the following products:

1. 2012 Panini Prizm Hobby (2 autos + 3 Prizms)
2. (2) mid-range True Mystery Packs (see description below)
3. 2012 Topps Series 2 Jumbo Rack Box (18 packs, 36 cards per pack)
4. 1991 Classic Best Minors Factory Set (commons sent upon request only)

True Mystery Packs were sold on Twitter earlier this year. I bought 2 mid-range packs and never opened the package. Each pack is supposed to contain 5 hits from any sport. A superstar auto was supposed to be inserted 1:10 packs. He listed RGIII and Ryne Sandberg as examples. Here is how I will handle the hits:

Non-baseball hits will go to their respected MLB team. For example, a Bengals hit would go to the Reds. A Jets hit would go to the Yankees, etc. If the team does not have a corresponding baseball team, such as Buffalo or Charlotte, the hit will be randomed off on random.org.

Beckett Grading Submission

     I just received an offer from BGS. If I submit at least 25 cards to them for their 20-day grading service, they will only charge me $9 per card. Normally, it costs $12 for this service. Certified autographed cards cost $1 extra.
     Currently, I only have about 10 cards to grade, so I can't take advantage of this offer. That's where you come in. If you have some cards you would like to get graded by the top grading company, let me know. Perhaps we could send in cards together.
     Here is how I envision this working. You send your cards to me, and I would submit the entire order to BGS. If you're worried about me stealing your cards, I can provide you with a list of collectors who would vouch for me. BGS would grade the cards within 20 business days and ship them back to me. I would then ship them to you.
     There is a bit of fine print. We would have to split the shipping and insurance charges. I would calculate this on a per-card basis. Also, I ask that you pay for return shipping; however, if you join my box breaks, I can send them with your order for little or no extra money.
     Once I committ to Beckett, I only have 30 days to submit the order, so it is rather time sensitive. If this sounds good to you, please contact me on Twitter at @batcavelv or email me at batcavelv@comcast.net
