Question
What is a “Break”?
Answer
A box break is an event in which a box(es), case(s), and/or pack(s) of cards are divided up among collectors who purchase the right to receive them as part of a random drawing. The events are promoted as providing an opportunity for baseball card and sports memorabilia fanatics to obtain valuable cards at an affordable price. Here’s a great explanation provided by Cardboard Connection
Question
What is a “Rip & Ship”?
Answer
A Rip & Ship is an event where a collector buys unopened cards, watches the seller “rip” (open) them, and then the seller mails the cards to the collector. Rip & ships are attractive to collectors for many reason. First, rather than leaving their home, the collector has the ability to choose among many types of cards and have them opened immediately. No searching local Target or Walmart stores to find cards. No waiting for unopened cards to arrive in the mail. The buyer gets the satisfaction of seeing their cards ripped and then the enjoyment of seeing them again when they arrive in the mail. There’s also often a great community around rip & ships where other collectors can comment on your rips as they occur.
Question
How does randomization work?
Answer
Many breaks (not all) use randomization to determine which slots go to which collectors. This gives every collector the same odds of getting the better slots. Breaker Toolbox performs this randomization automatically once a break has been filled. See our Randomization Policy here.
Question
Will I receive all cards or just the “hits”?
Answer
Any rip & ships or breaks will ship all cards unless the event is noted as “Hits only”. On the home screen, this can be seen at the bottom left corner of the event logo. When in a event, click on “Seller Details” to determine if you will receive all cards or just your hits.
