How Do Sport Cards Breaks Work?
Sport card breaks, or “breaks” are when a single person (or business) buys an entire box of sports cards, then charges individual collectors for the opportunity to “buy in” and keep a selection of cards from the box.
Then, usually via live stream, the “breaker” (the person who bought the entire box) then opens the box and shows what cards are inside. After the box has been opened, the breaker will send the cards from the boxes to the investors.
For example, let’s say you buy in on an NBA box break and chooses the Minnesota Timberwolves as his team.
