Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I can understand why some people are hesitant when it comes to joining breaks. High prices, bland selection, only "hits" ship, etc. Years ago on my blog, I started cheap breaks that I call "Affordable Group Breaks". I ran these for a few years before I decided to take a break. Within the last few months I've fired these up again, this time putting a little more effort into getting the selection of boxes varied, but most importantly keeping the cost down.

I break mostly baseball, but I'll mix in football from time to time. Sometimes we'll do new stuff, sometimes it's 90's/00's...but it's always cheap. Like a fellow collector/breaker friend of mine, I allow you to build up a stack if you will from break to break, then when you're ready to ship I'll send you a shipping invoice. This keeps more money in your pocket because you're not paying $4 or whatever in shipping charges on every break!

I break live on my YouTube channel just about every Friday night. I'm not in this to make money, but to help distribute cards of your favorite team at a low price. More importantly, it's all about having fun. Since I started up the breaks again, I've had so much fun...especially interacting with fellow collectors. Recently I've breathed new life into my Facebook group where I host the breaks. I also post on my blog as I know not everyone is or wants to be on Facebook, but I encourage you to join the group and check out what we have going on. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1923115197933037

I've got two breaks scheduled for this Friday, 07/17/20 - x2 Mega Boxes of 2020 Prizm and a box of 1994 Flair series 2. Prices start at just $2 and there are still several teams left in both breaks. Any cards from teams that go unsold will eventually end up on my trade lists here as I'm an active trader.

If you have any questions please let me know. 

What's your YouTube channel name?

I'm "The Card Closet "

I like the sound of affordable breaks. I often wondered why people didn't do that, but I guess if it's not the newest and most sought after cards, not many people are interested. Where can I find the prices for the teams, on the FB page? I'd like to find out more about this.

Thanks,

Aaron

I'll vouch for OP as I've traded with him for years and know he's a good dude. I also recently started joining his breaks and they've been fun! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have always wanted to do breaks but was unsure about how to get involved. I am in. I will look at that link and see if i can figure it out. If you want to make it easy and just tell me what I need to do to get in on Friday's breaks I would appreciate it. Thanks...Hal

I post sign ups both on my blog (cardboardcollections.blogspot.com) and in my Facebook group (link in the first post). I try to pick product that will give every team represented a nice selection of cards and inserts. I don't always do new stuff, but I do throw current releases in from time to time. If a team doesn't get a decent amount of cards from the box for some reason, I'll toss in a few cards from my own collection as I want everyone to be satisfied. Yeah, it's a little of a gamble participating in breaks, but no one ever leaves empty handed!

It's easy to get involved. Just check out the sign up post on either my blog (cardboardcollections.blogspot.com) or join the Facebook group to see the posts there. The prices are listed for each team. All cards ship, not just the inserts or hits. Prices do not include shipping as I offer to hold your cards and let you create your own "stack". This saves you on having to pay shipping for every break, handy if you want to see what's coming up next. When you're ready to have your stack shipped, I'll send a shipping invoice. I've had guys participate in double digit breaks and their stack only cost $4-5 to ship!

If you still have questions please let me know!

Never done a break before, but I'd love to try it out.  Will join the Facebook group and hope to get some Giants/49ers for me and my son.
