What is a Sports Card Box Break?

One of the nice things about buying a team and then missing the break is that a good sports card box breaker will post the results that night. Now I can go back and see what I missed. The way this is done is as below. I had a team in this break and missed it. So I tuned in the next day to see what I got.

A sports card break is a process where you buy a specific team. When all teams are bought by people the boxes are opened and you get all the cards of the team you purchased. Now the important thing to note is the year of the cards you are buying into. Of course the rookies on teams that came into the NFL that year will make those teams MORE expensive because you have a chance of getting super rare cards. For example some teams with no good rookies or shitty players that year may be $9.00 to buy into, but a team like Dallas in 2016 (Ezekiel Elliott rookie for example: http://www.dacardworld.com/singles/2016-panini-flawless-10-dak-prescott-now-and-then-rookie-auto-16-20) may go as high as $79.00 but you have a chance to "hit" on a card that is worth $600.

It is a gambling like situation so make sure you look up the checklist of the set you are buying into to know what you can get. You can find a good source for that here: https://www.beckett.com

Quite fascinating really. The main source of all breaks is a channel that is quite like a collectors Twitch Gaming Channel and it is called Breakers TV. You can find it here:
