BREAKS

When breaking with us we assure that you will receive A+ service! We do each break for everyone to see, ensuring that no products are opened off screen and all products come from reputable sources. We don't just break and sell these products, we are collectors ourselves & we study to become extremely knowledgeable in the products we carry.

We currently break on Whatnot, & in store, but we are hoping to begin breaking on Youtube, TikTok, & Facebook soon!

What are Group Breaks? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
A group break is when a group of people pool together to open product at reduced costs. It lets people to get to open a more expensive product, and enjoy it at an affordable price point. The cost of each break will vary based on what products are being opened, and how many break slots are available.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
FAQ
​​What type Group Breaks are there?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Pick Your Team
Each person selects which team or teams they want to buy, & then they pay a set price based on how well the team or teams they pick are doing and what they are worth in the products in that specific break. This will be first come first served & the break will begin once all slots are filled.
Random Division Break
These breaks will be the same as with random team breaks except that each person will be assigned a division instead of a team or teams once each of the break slots have been filled. Then the break will begin.
TCG Breaks
Breaks for TCG cards are different than sports cards. Since there are no teams
like there are in sports, each slot will be a type of card from the set. For example example, in Magic the Gathering the types can include Red, White, Black, Blue, Green, Gold, Land & Artifact. These breaks can be pick your type or bid breaks. Once all slots are filled break will begin.
Random Team Break
Each person pays the same price and receives a Random Team allocation once all of the slots in the break are full. Once all teams are allocated break will begin.
Bid Breaks
Bid breaks can be pick your team or pick your division. You bid on the team or division that you'd like and the highest bidder wins that break slot. Once all break slots are filled the break will begin.
Slot Breaks
A slot or set break uses randomization to allot a spot to each person that bought into the break. The number of each slot will correspond to the number of items available. All slots are priced the same, & buyers may purchase multiple slots. Once each slot is full the break will begin.
Pick Your Division
These breaks will be the same as with pick your team breaks except that each person will pick a division instead of a team or teams. Once each of the break slots have been allocated the break will begin.
Pokémon Breaks
Since there are no "teams" like in sports, in Pokémon breaks each slot will be a type of card from the set. For example the types can include Fire, Water, Grass, Darkness, Electric, Psychic, Steel, Fighting, & Trainer Cards. These breaks can be pick your type or bid breaks. Once all slots are filled break will begin.
Pack Breaks
Just like in TCG or Pokémon Breaks, when a product doesn't have teams the break can be divided by pack. Using randomization each buyer is assigned a pack(s). For instance if one box has 10 packs there will be 10 slots to purchase. Buyers may purchase multiple slots, & once all slots are filled the break will begin. The packs are numbered starting at the top left pack going down & then moving to the right correspondingly.
​Unless otherwise stated in the item listing, all cards will ship including base cards. If it's stated that base cards are not included in the break, they will be donated to the kids that come to the shop for events.
What cards ship?
​We have a 48 Hour processing time, and you can expect your cards to be shipped and to receive a tracking number to the email address on your account within that time frame.​​​
When will my cards arrive?
​​We penny sleeve each card, and put them in team bags. Cards that are serial numbered, autographed, relic, or high dollar will be penny sleeved, top-loaded, and placed in a team bag. We will not ship in a one-touch unless the card comes out of the box in a one-touch. Graded cards will be shipped in a double bubble envelope.
