Mid-'90s Group Box Break-Who is In???

Who wants in on a 2-box group box break??? I just got an unopened, discounted box of 1993 Stadium Club Series 3 (original sticker said $49.99) and I am supposed to be receiving an unopened box of 1994 Pinnacle ($44.99). Back in the day those were 2 products I loved to rip! Plus, I got a GREAT deal on them! I will add a 90's Topps Traded set to the deal if more than 19 slots get filled as a bonus. I would split that up into team piles. There are no Rays or Diamond Backs or Nationals in these sets… There is a (rare) chance of autos in the Stadium Club box, plus the First Day Production cards. Pinnacle has the Museum Collection card parallels, plus neat inserts. Now, I am way behind in technology-I can’t video tape this break, plus I don’t have PayPal and I really don’t like to charge anyway, so here are the rules. A, there will be NO video. You are gonna have to trust me. The price is low, so I don’t think it will be a big deal. B, no money involved. If you want a slot, you have to agree to trade for it. Here is the cost of a spot.
1 Heritage SP from my want list from 2007-2008 gets you 1 spot.
2 (random) Heritage SPs from 2009, low or high series gets you a spot.
2 (random) Heritage Refractors get you a spot.
5 random Heritage chromes (2008 or ’09) get you a spot.
1 Longoria, Crawford, Pena, Bartlett or Zobrist Heritage Refractor gets you a spot.
1 certified auto of Upton, Navarro, Garza, Howell or Gabe Gross gets you 2 spots.
3 Cards from my Rays Topps Team set list gets you a spot. This includes O-Pee-Chee and any cards on the list.
2 Carl Crawford cards that are not on my list get you a spot.
1 Carl Crawford relic card that is not on my list gets you 2 spots.
1 Rays relic gets you a spot.
1 Rays certified auto gets a spot.
2 random Cards from 1965 Topps (in good condition) gets you a spot.
3 cards from 1966-1969 Topps (in good condition) gets you a spot.
1 vintage card of a former Negro League player gets you a spot.
3 reprint type cards of Clemente or a former Negro League player will get you a spot.
1 hand numbered 2009 Allen and Ginter mini of Roberts, a Negro Leaguer or Rays player will get you 1 slot. Bazooka back gets you two slots.
1 Brian Roberts relic or 4 Roberts cards will get you a spot.
Have I made it complicated enough for you? Input would be appreciated. I got really good deals on these boxes, I need a rip fix and I am trying to think of a good way to find good homes for everything… As soon as 13 spots are claimed, I will begin to rip. You won't get your cards until after the Holiday-the Post Office is too crazy for me. As for as autographs go, I don’t know the odds, but I do remember that there was a Mike Piazza autograph that used to sell for $500 (in 1993) in the Stadium Club box. If you pick the A’s or Cubs or any team that I have cards lying around of, you may get those cards sent to you too. Oh, if you offer a 2 spot card you can share that spot with another blogger. If we are not regular trading partners, please e-mail me your address! Oh, the slot will get you every card of your selected team (inserts, basecards, parallels) from BOTH boxes. 48 packs worth of whatever team you choose. I think this is a pretty good deal. For the sake of shipping costs, please sign up only if you live in the United States, unless you are an established trader (Waxaholic, Hamiltonian, Pictures of Men are all okay). Please comment here with what you are offering in trade (include card #) and which team you are picking. If it is a random card that you don't have yet and you are a regular trader, you are okay... Okay, that’s it, pick teams!

  5. In my defense I was in a hurry to get to the PO by noon to mail you a package which was prepared before you posted this....and I think I sent you 2 spots.....a 2008 Ginter Brian Roberts relic and a BJ Upton sweet spot relic among other things...... anyways Blue Jays would be the answer.

  8. I'm tapped out on just about all of your wants. But I think I can scrounge up enough either in the 1966-69 category OR the random 2009 Heritage SPs to ask for the DODGERS PLEASE!

  12. If nobody else wants to get in for the Phillies, I'd be interested. I'd send 4 Brian Roberts cards including a 2009 UD Series 1 gold parallel numbered /99.

  16. Put me down for the Astros.

    I got some stuff that fits the criteria and only want one spot (I could probably fill 3 spots).

    Thanks.

  17. I'd love to be in, but I'm nowhere near cards for like 4 days. So...I'll sadly pass for now. But someday!

  18. Spastik, You don't need to send me the cards till after Christmas. If you want in, pick a team! I will update my lists later tonight after all the emails I have gotten. This is going great!!!

  19. I am going to actually withdraw from the spot I requested. Don't have nearly as many Roberts cards as I thought.

  20. If my offer was good enough for 2 spots. (1960 Topps wasn't listed but by the time you get them they will be 50 years old) If it was worth 2 spots I'll take Indians because I owe Saints a bunch of Indians.

  21. Adam, yes, you are good for two slots... I can even ship them directly to Dan (from you) if you like as I owe him some cards, too. Yankees, Phillies, Mets, Cubs and Angels are still out there. So are the ROCKIES!!!!
