While there may be many styles of breaks involved at Vintage Breaks the main avenues are “Set Breaks”, "Pack Breaks", and "Box Breaks".
"Extra Card(s) In Packs"
If a pack consists of an extra card or extra cards, the first person on the list will receive it, seeing that the first card will typically have gum residue or damage. This goes for inserts and stickers as well.
"Set Breaks”
Vintage Breaks will post complete set breaks for sale. The total number of spots for sale will generally correlate with the number of cards in the set; however, from time to time, additional items may be added to the set break.
Additional spots representing these items will be added to the overall number of cards, or spots, in the set break. For example, a 1968 Topps baseball set has 598 cards; however, Vintage Breaks may decide to add 10 spots from a separate break thus bringing the total number of spots in the 1968 Topps set break to 608. This will be clearly disclosed in the store listing. As all cards will be selected using a randomizer, there is no guarantee that any one spot purchase will result in a particular card.
“Hit Random”
A hit random is a collection of pre-selected trading cards assembled and offered at random for a set price per spot. As all cards will be selected using a randomizer, there is no guarantee that any one spot purchase will result in a particular card.
“Pack Break”
Pack breaking is very simple. For each pack we sell a number of spots that corresponds with the stated number of cards in the pack. The order of the cards drawn will be chosen using a randomizer. In the event that there are more cards in the pack than slots the remaining cards will be awarded at random to a customer or customers in the break. As all cards will be selected using a randomizer, there is no guarantee that any one spot purchase will result in a particular card.
“Box Break”
Sometimes a single pack won't do and you’ve gotta break the whole box. These function similar to pack breaks except that instead of card spots we use pack spots. The customer list is randomized and each one is assigned a pack slot in the break. As all pack spots will be selected using a randomizer, there is no guarantee that any one spot purchase will result in a particular pack.

Errors:
We are human, and occasionally make mistakes. When a random takes place for a pack, box, hit random or set break, the list must be correct in order for the break to be finalized. If the wrong item is opened, the break must be redone with the correct product. If the list does not match according to the product details, the list must be randomized again until it matches properly. If the breaker makes a mistake on camera he or she will act promptly in order to resolve the issue. The breaker’s determination, on air, as to how to handle the error will stand and not be subject to review.
"Shipping Information"
We typically ship 3 to 5 business days after the pack/box/set break happens on air. It may take longer after weekend shows or after a large promotion. We will do our best to ship as fast as we can, if you have any questions about shipping please email Sam@vintagebreaks.com, you can also give us a call at (732) 828-2261 Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm EST.

“Incentives”
When we are live on YouTube and Breakers.TV we will have vintage cards, packs or other miscellaneous items to give away during the show when someone meets the criteria set by the breaker. For example, if someone purchases spots worth $100 in one transaction and the breaker is offering a 1962 Topps Whitey Ford baseball card for the next person to spend $100, he/she will win that incentive. All incentives are first come, first serve and we check by our time stamp through our software.
"Break Credits"
Any break credit (Gift Certificate) that is won by a bonus or promo, will be emailed by the end of the following business day. If there is an exemption to this rule, it will be annouced before the bonus or promo begins. If you don't receive your break credit the following business day please reach out to us via email Sam@vintagebreaks.com or call our office at 732-828-2261.
“Refunds”
In the event a pack is short of the amount of advertised cards in the pack or box, we will refund customers in the form of break credit. For example if a pack advertises 17 cards and we sell 17 slots but the pack only has 16 cards the customer who was awarded slot 17 will receive a break credit for the amount of the spot. In the event that there are more cards in the pack than advertised we will award the card(s) starting with the first participant in the break then go down the list. If a break does not sell out and you would like to receive a refund please contact us and we will issue you a break credit for the amount of the spot(s).
“Video Archives”
In the event you are unable to watch your product being broken live on camera you are welcome to watch your break on our YouTube channel at http://youtube.com/vintagebreaks.
