2013 Charity Mixer Preview - 8 Spots Left!

We're just over 24 hours away from the 2014 Typhoon Haiyan Charity Mixer Break! There are just 8 slots left, meaning a combination of 8 teams or random slots can be had. If you haven't joined yet but want to grab a random slot, they're just $20! If you're already in and want to increase your chances of taking in a nice haul of cards, you can get random slots for just $15! 

Hop on that deal quickly and email me at chrisross4444@gmail.com to claim it before they're all gone! 

We kick off TOMORROW Sunday, February 16th at 8 PM EST

The break will take place on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/viewfromtheskybox


Now let's get a little preview of the boxes I'm most looking forward to in the break. 


1997 Stadium Club



1997 Stadium Club has one of my favorite base sets of all time. High quality photography and fat embossed player name-bars do it for me. There's also a fair share of expensive inserts to be found if we get lucky.

1999 Stadium Club



1999 Stadium Club was the sophomore year of the infamous "Triumvirate" inserts. The design was pretty gnarly and it perfectly fit late 90's baseball card style.


2010 Topps 206



Most collectors were tired of the 206 brand by 2010, but it's still a very pretty set. It also has the coolest mini framed relics I've ever seen.

2010 Topps National Chicle



2010 Topps National Chicle is an incredibly weird and wonderful set. If done a bit differently, it could have been a hit, but the high cost of hiring someone to paint the card portraits and a few blunders along the way (see Tyler Flowers card above) kept this from catching on. Nonetheless, there's a lot to like in here and I can't wait to rip a box tomorrow night!


 These are just four of the eleven boxes we'll be opening tomorrow night! Click here to see what else is on tap and which teams are left. Please do me a big favor and plug this post tonight and/or tomorrow if you can, I'd love to have this thing sold out by tomorrow night. Thanks everyone!
