The boxsplit we just did went quite well, could be used as a great refrence for a smooth GB on the sets. The only issue i feel most important which were all considered in the last GB, besides pre-payment, is that it's important the lottery drawing actually be done by an uninterested third party to insure fairness and an equal opportunity to all the participants. I also feel that the pre-payment is really the only way to handle it, solely based on the lottery system, as this isn't an average GB. If someone gets a cigar they didn't particularly care to pay so much for, like one of the reg. production, the host risks an individual not paying...I doubt we'd ever run into that issue though, just something for consideration to whomever hosts the next GB.
These are just a couple important things I realized during the box split on the 2008 set we just ran. I may consider jumping in on another, but it's probably best it be postponed until after the holidays particularly due to shipping times over the next week or so. I had 4 packages shipped this past Monday via priority, and USPS doesn't even show that they have arrived at the distribution center by me, which is still a whole day from getting to me. Just an observation...but 7 day shipping to some areas...may want to wait until after new years to run this and have an official sign-up. Up to the host, of course....just my .02
