In order to purchase a spot on a CardLines Breaks, you will need to make a bid on eBay and win the auction. Slots are sold via a 5-day auction.

You must pay for the auction before the break to participate. If a slot has not been paid by that time, it will be forfeited. Note that all break sales are final -- no refunds or returns.

We break a variety of sports and products. However, we focus primarily on baseball, basketball and football. 

Cardlines prices our breaks with a starting minimum bid of $1.99. The precise amount you pay will be based on the final auction price + shipping.

Shipping is $5.99 when purchasing one team. Shipping and tracking information is generally through USPS and is provided through eBay.

Yes, the cost to ship multiple teams is less per team when combining teams. The additional cost is $1 per team. If bidding on multiple teams, wait until the auctions are over and you will receive an invoice for the discounted amount.

Cardlines is a trusted leader in sports card information. In addition, our expert and professional staff has decades of combined experience in the sports card industry as reputable collectors, buyers and sellers.

When buying into a CardLines break, we make every effort to get the cards to you in the condition they are pulled. Hits will be sleeved and top-loaded. Rookies and parallels will be sleeved. The whole package will also be well packed and protected for safe delivery.

Cardlines Breaks are broadcast live on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Cardlines">YouTube channel</a>. In addition, if you miss a live break broadcast, an updated list of all breaks is available on this page. All Live break videos are available on our YouTube channel.

The amount of time for CardLines Breaks varies depending on the product being ripped. On average, a typical break takes around 25 minutes.

Cardlines mostly runs "PYT" or "Pick Your Team" breaks. If we do not do a PYT break, it will be clearly labeled in the auction.

A "PYT" or Pick Your Team break is one of the more popular types of card breaks. With this type of break, participants get the opportunity to select specific team(s) before the break. Once purchased, collectors will receive all cards from that team.

Unlike set flat prices for random breaks, PYT breaks typically have variable costs based on the desirability of the team. For example, purchasing a PYT of the New York Yankees is going to typically be more expensive than say, the Baltimore Orioles.

With a random break, participants in the break will purchase a random slot in the break. Then at the beginning of the break, all slots will be randomly chosen, often by team.

If a card is pulled consisting of two or more players from multiple teams, we will use a method to fairly and randomly determine the recipient of the card.

If a player is wearing a different jersey, the card will be awarded to the team's name on the card. If no team is displayed, the card will go to the team where the player signed for the longest.

Miscellaneous cards will be randomized at the end of the break.

If a Cardlines sports card break does not sell out, the teams will be available for sale at the beginning of the stream. You will be able to purchase available teams at the beginning of the live stream in the YouTube Stream Chat.

After you purchase a team(s) through a CardLines break, you do not need to view the stream live to receive your cards. Once the live stream Break is over, the video will be available on the Cardlines YouTube channel.

Your cards will be automatically shipped to your mailing address after the break. Watching is not required.

Cardlines.com ships cards out the next business day after a break and most collectors should receive their cards within 3-4 business days.

Depending on the specific break, there may be scenarios in which no players from your team are pulled. In this case, you will not be left out! CardLines will mail you a "Skunk Package" as a backup to this scenario.

There are no returns or refunds on any of our break products.
