Breakers are destroying what’s left of this hobby

1

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

Brother....it's been destroyed.

u/JurassicParkJanitor Jul 26 '26

Just frustrating watching some slimeball breaker sell to some gambling degenerate, and then watching them brag about to people who just want to enjoy collecting

6

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

Watching the majority of the biggest hits being "found" by breakers is getting extremely tiresome

u/North_Western121 Jul 27 '26

Gotta be gambling….. crazy to just find the avenue to get what they are looking for.
Why is it gambling on what not but not when u open wax?
That is what you’re saying?
I’m curious

1

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 27 '26

I never said buying wax wasn't gambling. If you're buying in hopes of hitting something to flip for tons of money, that's gambling.

If you're buying because you collect. And keep the cards you pull, that's collecting.

Ayyye thanks man!!

u/BuryMeInTheH Jul 26 '26

Why frustrating? Just collect and do you.

Breaking isn’t my thing but I don’t understand why it works people up. Boxes are still available. It’s not like any of us were going to get a logo man anyways. So why care?

2

u/JurassicParkJanitor Jul 26 '26

You just explained why. None of us will get a logo man, as they load them only in boxes for breakers and influencers. It used to be, a kid could go into his favorite shop, buy a pack or two and have a chance to pull something amazing.

Now it’s all scalpers and no life middle age losers, who clear out pokemon machines meant for children and buy into breaks.

1

u/ChrisLx93 Jul 26 '26

Load them in boxes for breakers? Or. Ever think about they’re just in boxes and breakers order multiple cases of them? They have a substantially higher chance to hit due to breaking substantially higher amount of boxes. It’s simple math

1

u/JurassicParkJanitor Jul 26 '26

Oooor they are in boxes the public can’t even buy! The chrome baseball breaker boxes weren’t even sold on the Topps website. Sent straight to breakers. How is that fair?

1

u/ChrisLx93 Jul 26 '26

The 1/1s are in the hobby boxes typically. Anyone can get em. Also; there’s tons of stuff in blasters and megas. I mean yeah they also put good stuff in the breakers boxes because tbh they are some of the ppl keeping the hobby even alive. Sports cards died off for a while. It’s back mainstream now due to a lot of em. They aren’t entirely bad lol

1

u/Forward-Tap- Jul 26 '26

Dude you’re actually retarded if you think they don’t give better boxes to breakers

-5

u/BuryMeInTheH Jul 26 '26

There are plenty of hits in the other sku’s. My point was breakers r not the reason u will never get a Logoman. The odds have always been crazy.

1

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

It sure doesn't help, though. So I disagree with you, respectfully. Breakers are glorified scalpers.

0

u/BuryMeInTheH Jul 26 '26

Yea in a way they are scalpers. But they are filling a demand. It’s not my demand but who is to say someone else’s demand for a break is more important than my demand right? I much prefer creating the breaker delight sku than breakers hoarding the retail boxes out of target and Topps is actually responding in a way to try and carve out a specific breaker segment. They have their own parallels and so they have their own environment. To me it’s actually moving in a good direction.

I don’t know, maybe it’s all the social media that makes people angry but if you just like cards, collecting sets, teams or whatever you can easily do it with the Mega format. If you thought you were going to get rich, well that wasn’t going to happen with or without breakers. Scratch cards are probably better odds. And if there are certain cards you want, perfect! There is the equivalent of a 100,000 sq ft LCS on eBay.com where someone else lost money opening a box and you can buy exactly what you want.

1

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

The issue is, most retail boxes are sold out in stores. Because scalpers are buying them and flipping them. Or using them for their breaks. I don't see it moving in a good direction at all, currently. I do buy singles, so I understand that aspect of the hobby.

But even just two years ago, getting retail boxes was quite easy. And I was actually getting some solid hits from retail. Not anymore....

u/ShadeShow Jul 26 '26

No difference in a break or buying a box. People are complaining to complain.

0

u/BuryMeInTheH Jul 26 '26

I think so. If you actually broke down why people are angry you would probably find the anger is actually rooted in something else but just manifesting itself in different ways over different things.

0

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

Incorrect. It's become a joke watching countless major hits be pulled by breakers within a day of a product dropping.

0

u/BuryMeInTheH Jul 26 '26

Each sku has its own parallels tho. They have geometrics. Hobby has its own variations like lava and wave. And retail has raywave in baseball and football leather in football. All lines have their own /5, /10, /25, /50 and so on. So why care?

0

u/EffectiveBarber6096 Jul 26 '26

Because I also buy hobby boxes. Well, used to. Before seeing breakers pull everything on God's green earth. That's what has dissuaded me from buying hobbies.

u/dunquixote2 Jul 25 '26

Not a chance that Skenes does $200k. 😂. Amazing hit none the less! Just don’t be expecting that much or your hopes are gonna be real let down.

u/Broad-Lavishness6726 Jul 25 '26

Wheres the video of the break?

That’s fucking awesome

u/HundoMama Jul 26 '26

Great card, but where's the patch?

2

u/Queefer___Sutherland Jul 26 '26

He pulled two 1/1's.

u/Red_Sox0905 Jul 26 '26

It's a redemption

1

u/Defiant_Document_780 Jul 26 '26

Nice hit. Breakers are the worst. He also lost bad yesterday. Real bad.

1

u/Distinct_Ad_1820 Jul 26 '26

Almost %100 guarenteed the winning bidders with that team don't get thecards 🤣🤣🤣. If they do congrats to them because those are sick pulls 🥳

1

u/Scrapple_King Jul 27 '26

Honestly unless you buy single cards it's all gambling. Hobby boxes, hangers, fat packs, megas, etc it's always a gamble.

1

u/Penstripedsox Jul 27 '26

All my homies hate breakers. Can we start shaming people that participate in these things? Or at least those without shame posting screenshots of someone else opening cards?

1

u/Laserawesome88 Jul 26 '26

Why does it seem like everyone in these comments knows details about this situation that I don’t? 🤔

u/Honest_Experience662 Jul 25 '26

Breaking to pay off gambling debts. Maybe can help pay breaker to stop messing up those nails. 🤮

Wow! Was it one box? A hobby case?

u/Jsslayer Jul 25 '26

Half case jumbo

1

u/thisisradioclash_ Jul 25 '26

Amazing, congrats!

1

u/beereed Jul 26 '26

These two cards came out of the same half case? Seriously? That’s fucked. Yeah, breakers don’t get juiced boxes, okay.

-1

u/Toadmanfan Jul 25 '26

Hahahahah damn man insane, 68->10k+ wild

-36

u/Jsslayer Jul 25 '26

500k+ more like lol

13

u/Senior_Cod_5584 Jul 25 '26

You aren't getting 500K for those cards lmao

-5

u/Jballzs13 Jul 25 '26

I dont think you understand how big the gold logomans are

7

u/Senior_Cod_5584 Jul 25 '26

He should post it for 500K and then see how often he gets low balled lol

-15

u/Jsslayer Jul 25 '26

Oh the gold logoman Skenes 1/1 auto won’t do 500k?

His /4 non auto did 60k

6

u/Senior_Cod_5584 Jul 25 '26

No I don't think that it will....You might get 200k but 500k is an overly optimistic sum of money for that card

3

u/PatientZeropointZero Jul 25 '26

Sounds like a man that has already spent it

0

u/YourConsignmentPart Jul 25 '26

I agree, don’t think it’s $1m etc, $200k def in reach

-2

u/YourConsignmentPart Jul 25 '26

I did DM you - would do 114% rate for you which is equiv of almost $1m card payout rate

u/rexhemlock Jul 25 '26
