SOUTH BEACH BREAKS FAQ's

What is a Group Break? 

A group break is where people share a box or case of cards by dividing up the product by team, player or some other method.

How do I join a break?

Click on the BREAKS tab and choose the box or mixer that interests you, grab a team or a slot in a random team break!

When does my break happen?

All breaks will start shortly after they are filled, up until midnight that same day. Some exceptions may apply.

When do I get my cards?

After a BREAK is completed, the hits will be sleeved, toploaded and sorted promptly.  Orders will ship out within 1-2 business days. Hits are considered everything but inserts and base cards.

What cards do you ship?

We always ship any and all autographs, memorabilia and numbered parallels and rookies from the breaks. Check the description of the break before purchasing to be sure if all base ships.

Where can I watch the break and where do I see what teams I have?

Watch the breaks at the FOOTBALL CARDS BUY-SELL-TRADE AUCTIONS group on FACEBOOK

I missed the break, can I see what was pulled?

Please go to FOOTBALL CARDS BUY-SELL-TRADE AUCTIONS GROUP above shortly after the break ends to see the whole break and recap. 

What different types of breaks do you do?

There are several types of group breaks run on this site which cater to all types of collectors, so feel free to browse and choose the product and method that works best for you! Remember, your participation gets you every base card, insert, relic, autograph or other hit with your team’s name on it.

Team Breaks – these allow each collector to buy a single team from an entire box or case of cards. Teams are priced fairly based on the market demand for each team. This is the best option if you are looking for a certain player or a fan of a certain team.

Random Breaks – all teams found in a product are priced the same and randomly distributed. You are buying a guaranteed slot in a break with a team to be assigned just before the product is opened. Sometimes if you don’t feel like buying your favorite team and just want something different, this can be a fun way to get some cards from a different team!

Team Draft Breaks – all teams found in a product are priced the same and drafted just before the break begins. Draft order is randomized and each collector who bought in gets to pick a team, like fantasy sports but with cards!

Mixers – sometimes instead of opening large quantities of a single product, it’s fun to mix it up! We combine boxes from a single sport that may be from multiple years or brands!

Terms and Conditions

What am I getting when I purchase a group break slot at SOUTHBEACHBREAKS.com?

Purchasing a slot in a group break at southbeachbreaks.com does not mean you are getting the entire box or case of cards.   This is a group-break service where multiple people share the cost of a box, boxes, or case of cards.  It’s a service designed to allow you to buy a team from a case, box or boxes, or a random team from a case, box or boxes.  You will receive all cards from the team you purchase, or the random team you are assigned.

What happens if my team doesn’t have any autographs or memorabilia items in the break?

By purchasing a slot or team in a break you are acknowledging that you understand that there is no guarantee that you will receive any particular card(s) for the particular team.  

In the event your team does not receive an autograph, relic, or numbered parallel card, you NOT receive anything. This is part of the Break process. There are absolutely NO REFUNDS once a Group Break starts live.

A REFUND PRIOR to a break will have a 5% restocking fee.

All breaks are completed first on live streaming broadcasts at the FOOTBALL CARDS - BUY-SELL-TRADE AUCTIONS group on FACEBOOK– no breaks are ever shown from recorded video. Boxes and cases are opened live and all activity is kept on screen so everything is legit. I’ll be seeing the cards pulled from each box at the same time you do! Feel free to chat during the break, we are HUGE sports fans at SOUTH BEACH BREAKS.

What if I want to buy in, but cannot be present for the break?

All live breaks will be recorded and posted to FACEBOOK after the break is complete. Feel free to watch the break later that day or whenever you have an opportunity. Either way, the cards will still show up in your mailbox!

How do you decide randomizations?

All randomizations will be completed by a runner for the group on http://www.random.org/ via the list randomizer through the FACEBOOK GROUP.  All breaks will use random.org for randomization. Each random can be verified through the “validate random” button generated after each break with a timestamp!

You just pulled a multiple autograph or relic card with a bunch of players on it, who gets the card?

Here are the rules on how multiple team or player cards are divided:

Unless someone owns more than 50% of the teams on the card, the teams will evenly have a chance via random.org to decide which team receives the card.  If there are duplicates of a card we will try to alternate them to attempt to give a copy to all teams represented.
