Lets say a seller has a box of cards, not knowing exactly what is in the box and they do auctions for a break (or whatever they call it).
They have 1 auction for Tom Brady cards from the package, the winner gets all the Tom Brady cards in the package, if there is any. If there isn't any, I think the buyer is out of luck.

From what I understand, you pay for a certain player or team from a package and you get what is in that package.
You might get 1 or 2 cards or none.

Yes, the process is a bit bizarre, but now common in the trading card world. Here are three random listings that explain, within the description, how the process works, when a selection of boxes will be opened on video.

There may be some listings where the word "break" is used to indicate the card was taken from a set and is sold as a single. So check the description if clarification is needed. But generally, a true "break" is listed in the "trading card box and case breaks" category. A single card would be listed in the "trading card singles" category.

If that post has a number, for example # 47, does that mean he is gambling on getting a # 47 in that case break ? Does the pic show the # 47 I suppose?
