FAQ'S
What is "breaking"?
"Breaking" is when a group of people pool together to open unopened boxes of unopened packs of the hottest sports card products at a reduced cost per person.
How does a break work?
Break participants are randomly assigned a team (or teams) based on the type of break and number of participants. Random.org (randomize 3x, go with the 3rd, always) is what The Cardboard Jungle uses to randomize teams to participants. The Jungle crew rips open all packs live on camera, always, with a minimum of three cameras capturing every aspect and angle of every pack rip.
Break participants typically watch live (WHY WOULD YOU NOT?!) but the video footage of all breaks is uploaded to this website and to our YouTube page shortly after the live break concludes.

Why has breaking become so popular?
Breaking is popular because it allows collectors to obtain cards from the hottest, most expensive new sports card products for a fraction of the cost of buying a hobby box or even a blaster.
You might pay $10 for one spot in a rip of a $250 box. It is possible that the most valuable card in the box is from your team. You saved $240 and obtained the top card. Pack-fresh cards also have a better chance at receiving a high grade from professional card grading companies.
Break attendees love to chase the hottest and rarest cards from all the newest product. This craze has grown as its become easier and easier to quickly buy and sell cards on eBay and other platforms.
In breaks you're also able to meet and chat with other people enjoying the action the same as you. For SOME breakers (ahem ... The Cardboard Jungle) live breaks are also highly entertaining and an adrenaline rush.

What are the different types of breaks?
The Cardboard Jungle conducts three different types of breaks: Random Team, Pick Your Team, and Random Division. Below are the differences for each ...
RANDOM TEAM - All break participants are randomly assigned teams using the process laid out above. In a random team break, all break slots are priced identically.
FIRST LETTER/LAST NAME - Break participants are randomly assigned 1 of the 26 letters of the alphabet. All cards of players whose last name begins with the letter you are assigned go to you.
PICK YOUR TEAM - Break participants can pick their teams, noting that different teams will have different prices based on the value of the cards of that team in that product.
RANDOM DIVISION - Break participants are randomly assigned an entire divisions worth of teams. Random division break participation is typically more expensive due to less participants, but chances of pulling rare & valuable card(s) is greater.

Who gets insert cards, cards of teams no longer in existence, and cards with multiple players on them?
For all Cardboard Jungle breaks, cards are awarded to the team that is pictured on the card, NOT the player's current team. "Cards read" - like poker. For example, if an Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers card is pulled out of a pack, that card is awarded to the holder of the Packers, and NOT the Jets. Players in college uniforms are awarded to the owner of their existing pro team. Retired players are awarded to the team pictured on the card. Any retired players not representing a team on the card will go to the team that player spent the most years of their career with.
Here's our policies on the following potential scenarios:
Special Insert Cards - Go to holder of team with the player pictured, just like base or numbered parallel cards.
Cards of players on teams no longer in operation (Seattle Pilots, Montreal Expos, etc.) - Go to the holder of the team that the franchise in question ended up becoming. In the examples listed, the Seattle Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers and the Montreal Expos became the Washington Nationals.
Cards with multiple players on them - If all players listed are on the same team, the card(s) go to the holder of that team. If not, they go to the team of the player that alphabetically ranks first by last name (A best, Z worst).
Cards that have a player on them but no team represented - The card goes to that player's current team. If not a current player, it goes to the team that player played the most career games for.
Cards that don't fall into one of the above categories - A randomizer will be used to assign the card(s) to one random break participant.
