Group Break
Also known as: Card break, Box break, Break
A group break (or "card break") is a format where a breaker (the person running the break) sells spots or team slots to multiple collectors, then opens one or more boxes or cases on camera. Cards pulled during the break are distributed to spot-holders based on the break type. Group breaks allow collectors to participate in expensive product openings at a fraction of the cost, and to target specific teams or players without buying an entire box. The Collectibles Exchange hosts live group breaks regularly.
