What is a break?
A break is when we open sealed boxes or cases live and the cards are split between buyers. You buy a "spot" — a team, a division, or a random slot — and you receive every card that falls to your spot. It's a fun, affordable way to chase big hits without buying a whole box.
Break types explained
- Pick Your Team (PYT) — choose the exact team you want and keep every card pulled for it. Popular teams cost more.
- Random — teams are assigned randomly once every spot is sold. Cheaper, with equal odds for everyone — the easiest way to start.
- Tiered — teams are grouped by value and you're randomly assigned one from your chosen tier.
- Mixer / Filler — leftover teams bundled into one low-cost spot, so nothing goes unopened.
How our breaks work
- Pick a break and a format that suits your budget.
- Buy your spot before the break fills.
- Tune in live on the channel it's running on and watch your cards get pulled.
- We pack and ship your cards to you within 3 working days.
If a break doesn't fill, it's cancelled and you're fully refunded. Combined shipping across multiple breaks isn't available just yet — but it's something we're actively working on.
Break FAQs
When are my cards shipped after a break?
Within 3 working days of the break.
What happens if a break doesn't fill?
It's cancelled and you're fully refunded.
Can I combine cards from several breaks?
Not at the moment — each break's cards are currently shipped separately. Combined shipping is something we're working on.
Which teams or spots give the best value?
It depends on the product and the break format. Random spots spread the odds evenly and are the cheapest way in; PYT lets you back a specific team. See our beginner's guide for more.
