What are "Breaks" and how does this work ?
What is a group break?
A group break is a great way for a group of people to split large boxes of cards. In our breaks, the cards are split up by the team(s) or divisions.
You can purchase slots in the break, which will be assigned to specific teams. When you purchase a slot, you're buying the "rights" to a team's cards that are opened during that break.
When the break is full, we will notify the participants in the break that we are going live to open the box(s). You will receive ALL THE CARDS in that break for the teams you bought and/or assigned for that particular break.

Shipping is ALWAYS included.
Pick your Team (PYT)
Pick your team group break is exactly how it sounds. You will have the opportunity to purchase the team(s) you want before the case is opened. These teams are priced differently based on the value of their rookies and star players and the fair market value of those teams and players. When you are looking to hit your favorite team(s) and/or player(s) this is your best option.
In some cases, it’s possible to go “Hitless” in a break as we have no control over the contents of the boxes we open. If you were to buy into any break and go “hitless” (don’t hit any cards) , please reach out to us at houseofbreaksusa@gmail.com and we always make sure you receive some cards for your purchase. You will ALWAYS receive something for your buy in and we want to make sure you walk away with cards :) that’s what it’s all about.
MULTIPLAYER CARD RANDOM RULES
Some products have cards with multiple players or teams. We random these to the appropriate individuals using Random.org. Majority rules! If a person owns MORE THAN 50% of the card (2 out of 3 teams or 3 out of 5 teams), they win the card by majority.

Draft Styles
In these breaks, each spot purchased is guaranteed a hit.
- RANDOM HIT – All cards are opened and recorded. The hits are assigned to each customer using Random.org.
- LIVE HIT DRAFT – All cards are opened. The customer names are assigned an order using Random.org. Each customer then chooses their hit in the order assigned. You must be present or reachable when the product is opened so that you may choose your card(s).
Random Serial Numbers
This break is popular for products like Flawless and National Treasures where there aren’t a high number of cards per box, or case. Each customer is assigned a number from Random.org. The number represents the first number of the card numbering. For example, if you are assigned the number 7, you would get cards that are serial numbered 7/10 and 7/25. The number of spots in this style of break is determined by the product. This is a less expensive break because of the number of spots, but the odds of getting a hit are lower because of the number of spots.
How to Watch your Break Live and Watching Replays
We are live on Instagram and Youtube every night at 7pm Eastern Standard.Breaks will be done in the order they are filled. So our live feeds can be a mix of Personal and Group Breaks. We like to have fun in the room so even if you are not in any of the breaks, feel free to stick around for a fun time ripping cards and talking shop.
If you missed your break, please feel free to visit the link below to our Youtube where all breaks are posted.

Skunking (Going Hitless)
If you pay more than 25$ a spot and you do not get a hit you will get a $5 Hitless Credit uploaded to your account (within 3-5 Days of Break). There will be special priced breaks that do not qualify for the credit. Those will be noted in break listing.
