That is for Canadian market only. Canada allocation completely SOLD OUT.

As a group breaker of this product, you're coming off awfully "buy this so I can break it". You've posted a few times in this thread about new breaks that you've opened; it feels somewhat uncouth.
Disagree. By virtue of Blowout allowing this thread and partnering with PR (release party exclusive, etc) Dave is well within his rights to promote his breaks in this thread; as is every other PR group break host.

No one is saying that a group breaker cannot come in this thread and promote their break. This is a Prospect Rush Thread, it should have links to breaks, that simply makes sense.

What I am saying is that a group breaker cannot come in this thread, defend the product against the negative opinion and then suggest that they're not biased towards wanting it to do well.

Yes. I drove (5 hour roundtrip) Sunday night, US customs turned me away for a silly paper issue, drove home. Spent all Monday getting papers in order, drove again 5 hour round trip, sat for 8 hours waiting for clearance at border. Then this morning one of my guys drove 8 hours each way to hand deliver Blowouts cases.

I didn't have these issues last time as cases were much less.

It was a frustrating couple days .

I agree on both these points. Just misunderstood you're previous post.

To add, I have no problem with the group breakers defending the product in this thread, but people need to understand that theirs is certainly not an unbiased opinion.

As others have already stated this is not really the case if you value your time. If an hour of your time is worth $0 this might be the case.

As someone who used to drive down quite often i feel your pain. Customs can be a b+tch.

He appears to be a busy guy, but I see this question being brushed aside.

No one can deny your effort in this, props to you for putting in the time to ultimately make some coin.

Remember that code for a Draft Case I brilliantly showed live on camera?

Someone tried to redeem that code with Prospect Rush yesterday.

So I did some research and... shocker... it is a PBM.

(The case is going to the correct person and not the thief.)

Most likely the same one that was paying for your private information.

Hardly a shock. Good on PR and you for sorting it out and making sure it got into the right hands

Will - next time just rent an apartment in Buffalo for a couple months and set up shop!

Well done - hopefully you have earned a small break in the days ahead

dont have to... prove it on your end you made nothing on this break. that is why all the hype was involved to make money for those that could off of this release. its pretty clear by your responses and your pep rally promoting the product. there is nothing at all WRONG with making money, but dont act like you didnt or just want to do this break for the collectors.

right if this was a $60 box of topps or $600 case, there is less money going around. this release had some decent coin. A month ago maybe 3-4 people were not in favor of this release, now the tides have turned since it wasnt what it was HYPED up to be. I dont see topps and panini coming in here making 30 posts a day about their product that they manufactured.

I continue to be shocked by the crap people try to pull over on you. I can't believe someone would try to redeem that code, when it was quite clear you were going to communicate with OP about it. Disgusting.
