What is a Break

What is a Live Break?

At Card Addicts, when we talk about a Live Break, we mean the ultimate real-time collecting experience.

A live break is the opening (rip) of one or more sealed card boxes, broadcast live. Participants purchase a spot before the break — and each spot corresponds to a specific team, player, category, or numerical position, depending on the type of break.

What does it mean to get a spot?

When you purchase a spot in a live break:

  • You secure the rights to all cards pulled during the live that match your spot.
  • If a card of your team/player/category appears, it belongs to you.
  • You watch the process live and experience the excitement of the opening with us.
What can I pull?

Depending on the product being opened, you may pull:

  • Base cards
  • Inserts
  • Numbered cards
  • Parallels
  • Autographs
  • Memorabilia cards
  • Rare or limited edition hits

Each box has a different composition and odds, determined solely by the manufacturer.

Is it guaranteed that I’ll get something?

No.

Purchasing a spot in a live break does not guarantee that a card will be pulled for your spot. There is a chance that no card matching your selection will appear. The outcome depends entirely on the random contents of the sealed boxes.

A live break is a collecting experience with an element of chance — not an investment with guaranteed returns.

How are your cards protected?

For us, the break is just the beginning.

Every card pulled during the live:

  • Is immediately placed in a sleeve
  • Goes into a top loader when required
  • High-value cards are placed in a magnetic holder (one-touch)
  • Is carefully packed and stored with attention

Packaging and shipping are handled with great care to ensure your cards arrive in excellent condition, exactly as they came out of the box.

Why participate?

Because a live break offers:

  • The thrill of opening packs without buying a full box
  • The suspense of hitting something big
  • A shared community experience
  • The chance to land a rare card at a lower cost than a full box

At Card Addicts, every break is done with full transparency, professionalism, and respect for our community.

A live break is emotion, anticipation, and collecting passion.

You don’t just watch the rip.
You live it.
