Box Breaks

What are Box Breaks?

A box break is a live online event where buyers purchase “spots” from the breaker (the seller) to obtain high-value Pokemon cards. The breaker opens the box, and packages live in front of the online audience. Once the event is over, the cards are shipped out to the buyers. 

Box breaking involves chance, meaning you are not guaranteed a rare or valuable card (i.e., a #bighit) when you participate. 

Box Breaks: The Power of Group Buying

Box breaking harnesses the power of group buying. If you participate in a box break, you will typically pay a fraction of the price vs. buying a complete box full of sports cards. This lowers your cost and increases your chances of hitting it big.

You see the breaker (the seller) and the users (the buyers) in the image below. In box breaking, there is typically only one breaker and multiple buyers who purchase spots in the break. Each spot can cost anywhere from $25-$335, depending on the breaking method.
