Break Types

Pick Your Team (PYT)

All teams in that particular set is offered at different prices and you can pick whichever is available.
Team pricing will depend on several factors such as hit counts, hot rookies and popularity of teams.
Example: if you buy the New York Yankees then any card pulled with a player for that team is yours.
Cards featuring more than one player from different teams will be random off to all teams listed on that card.

Pick Your Division (PYD)

All divisions in that particular set is offered at different prices and you can pick whichever division are available.
Division pricing will depend on several factors such as hit counts, hot rookies and popularity of teams and players.
Example: When doing a MLB break if you buy the AL EAST division then any cards pulled for Red Sox, Orioles, Blue Jays, Yankees & Rays will be yours.
Cards featuring more than one player from different teams will be random off to all teams listed on that card. If you own more than one team then your name gets entered that amount of times for the randomizer.

Pick Your Pack (PYP)

All packs in the box being broken will be numbered (if there are ten packs in a box then they will be numbered 1-10) and you can purchase whichever packs are available.
Example if you buy 2 packs numbers 8 & 9 then any cards pulled from either of those packs is yours.
You will get all cards that are pulled from your pack(s).

Pick Your Letter (PYL)

All letters in the alphabet are offered at different prices and you can purchase whichever letter is available.
Letter pricing will depend on several factors such as hit counts, hot rookies and popularity of players.
Example: if a card Frank Thomas is pulled the “T” spot gets the card.
Suffix names such as Jr. or Sr. do not count.
In the case of hyphenated names such as Maurice Jones-Drew the “J” would be considered the winning letter.

Random Team (RT)

Each spot gets you a random team.
We will use the team name that is displayed on actual card.
Example if a card is pulled for Peyton Manning and the team name on the card is Denver Broncos, then the Broncos wins that card!
Cards with more than one player from different teams will be random off to all teams listed on that card.

Random Number (RN)

Each spot gets you a random number from 1-99.
We will use the serial number on the left x/99
Example if a card is pulled numbered 4/99 then whoever has the 4 spot gets the card!
Since redemptions are not numbered, any redemptions pulls will be random off to the group.

Random Letter (RL)

Each spot gets you a random letter from A-Z.
We will use the first letter of the players LAST name.
Example if a card Frank Thomas is pulled the “T” spot gets the card!
Suffix names such as Jr. or Sr. do not count.
In the case of hyphenated names such as Maurice Jones-Drew the “J” would be considered the winning letter.

Random Player (RPL)

Each spot gets you a random players name.
If there are 56 players that are part of the set then there will be 52 spots available with each spot representing one player in that set.
Example if in the random you get Michael Jordan then card and card pulled of his will go to you.
Cards with more than one player on them will be random off to all break participants that own those player names.

Random Pack (RPK)

Each spot gets you a random pack out of the box being broken.
All packs in the box will be numbered (if there are ten packs in a box then they will be numbered 1-10) and you will randomly get a number between 1-10.
Example if you buy 2 spots in the break you will get 2 random numbers which correspond to those numbered packs in that box.
You will get all cards that are pulled from your pack(s).

Hit Draft (HD)

In this type of break if there are 28 cards in the case being broken then you take all 28 participants and use the randomizer to set the draft order.
All cards are then opened and revealed from that case.
Whoever got 1st position after the random will get to pick first from all 28 cards. This continues with 2nd and 3rd picking in numerical order all the way through pick #28.
This type of break is generally used for higher end cases that have a lower amount of cards to be opened.

Team Draft (TD)

With a Team Draft break you get to play GM in a sense.
You take 1 participant to represent each team and then use the randomizer to set the draft order.
Example: if you are doing a Football Case Break there are 32 possible team hits so you would have 32 participants each getting a random draft spot.
Whoever gets 1st position after the random will get to pick first from all 32 teams. This continues with 2nd and 3rd picking in numerical order all the way through pick #32.
Once the teams are picked then the break will begin and if your team is the New England Patriots then any card pulled with a player for that team is yours.
Cards featuring more than one player from different teams will be random off to all teams listed on that card. If you own more than one team then your name gets entered that amount of times for the randomizer.

Live Team Auction (LTA)

A Live Team Auction Break is conducted like any typical auction.
Each team is has a set starting price and then auctioned off one at a time.
As bids come in the host will call out the highest present bid price. Once the price seems to have peaked then the host will start a 10 second count down. Within that countdown any last minute bidders can jump in to up the price and then a new countdown will begin. Once the countdown goes all the way to zero with no new bids then that team is announced, “SOLD” to the highest bidder.
Once all teams are auctioned off then the break will begin.
Example: if you were high bidder for the New York Yankees then any card pulled from that case with a player for that team is yours.
Cards featuring more than one player from different teams will be random off to all teams listed on that card at the end of the break.

Mixer (MIX)

Mixers are usually boxes that are no longer in a case that we mix together to create one giant lot of boxes. The boxes can be from various brands, but though not always but are usually from the same sport.

Filler (FILL)

Fillers enable a Breaker to quickly sell remaining spots of a Break that is close to being full. Fillers are a cheap way for Break Participants to get into the action. Fillers are run in multiple ways depending on the Breaker and the product being broken. While some fillers may lessen your chance to hit a big product they also give you a chance to hit something big at a fraction of the cost of a regular spot entry.
