I can’t tell if I started this or where it’s going, but I’ll take 4 units of Gleider to save the case. Save the case, save the break.

Is Houdini taking offers on the two open Gleider Figueroa spots or is the unpaid price the only price he’ll take?

Can the unfilled spots just be randomed.....or is that what the experiment is? Something like 25 spots for $100 each and winner takes the spot. Seems a lot easier than breaking it up and figuring out what to do with the hits.

"Experiment" in the past has meant that houdini breaks the spots up into however many "one-case" spots are needed, so in this case 50 each, then sells those one-case spots individually and does a random to determine who gets which case. Much higher chance of skunking on a single case, but much lower buy-in price than buying 50 or 100 cases.

I’m in to buy 25 cases if Houdini is willing to split it up like that.

Houdini
Since these were claimed at no discount, would you take 25% off for the two? Just looking at his card prices.

I'm broke & can't afford anything, but I'd like to share an observation about a contributor to Gleider's early season struggles:

It's clear he usually doesn't have the green light on 0-0. I checked many box scores, and ~80-85% of his AB's begin with a called ball or strike. It's backed up by his P/PA ballooning from 2.19 to 4.33 P/PA and his SwStr% actually going DOWN. That's a coaching thing - likely to get him acclimated to the better pitching he's now seeing.

So, the point is. If you're using his lack of performance this year as ANYTHING, don't. Coaches are messing with him right now.

I'd suggest keeping it simple, quick and also keeping it at full price so Houdini can maintain his margins and we secure the 101st case. Instead of two 50-case positions, I'd suggest we split it into ten 10-case positions. Sounds like there's an appetite for that. I'd take at least two of those positions. Just a suggestion.

Preparing to break case 1. I have 1-25 & 76-100. JBrooks has 26-50 & 51-75.

1-50 will be done first with probably a small break before 51-100 starts.

The 21 caser is packaging now and will ship this week.

Tracker for the 1st 50:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=291140786

For those that weren't in the 21 caser, 1st tab is autos, 2nd is color and you can see the 21-caser in tabs 3-4. I don't keep track of lunar glow/atomic as only the headliners make it into the recaps. Some color in consolidated under the primary color umbrella (e.g. Blue, Blue Raywave, Blue Shimmer all listed as "Blue"; Aqua Shimmer and Aqua Lunar both just "Aqua").

When do people usually start complaining about skunking? 10 cases in?
