Frequently Asked Questions

A card break or unboxing is where boxes or cases of trading cards are opened live on stream. Participants buy spots (teams, divisions, serial #, or players) and receive the cards that correspond to their purchase. Breaking is a FUN way to grow your collection, but it isn't the financially smartest way to grow your collection.

To get familiar with how the collecting world works, start very small and very focused. Choose a player that you love, bonus points if it's someone whose cards you can purchase for cheap. Research how to comp (check current price) cards, by using 130point.com or cardladder.com. Learn how to read a product checklist, practice with mmarookies.com or checklistinsider.com. Learn how to properly topload and store your cards. Find best practices for shipping your cards. Set a budget! Spending more doesn't equate to more fun or a better collection. Avoid FOMO.

Random Team breaks have participants assigned random teams after all spots are filled. Pick Your Team (PYT) breaks allow you to choose your specific team when purchasing. PYT breaks typically cost more for popular teams but guarantee you get the team you want.

We typically ship cards within 2 business days after a break is completed. Standard shipping takes 3-7 business days within the US. International shipping is available and takes 7-21 business days depending on the destination.

Yes, we ship to most international destinations. Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or fees. International shipping costs vary by weight and destination, and delivery times may be affected by customs processing.

Card breaking involves chance and luck - there are no guaranteed hits or refunds. Some breaks will have amazing pulls while others may only yield base cards. That's the nature of the hobby and part of the excitement of breaking.

All sales are final once a break has started. We cannot offer refunds based on card values or disappointing pulls, as breaking involves inherent risk and chance. However, we will correct any mistakes in card allocation or shipping errors.

Yes! Our giveaways are completely free to enter with no purchase necessary. We regularly host giveaways on our live streams and social media. Winners are selected randomly and fairly.

All breaks are streamed live and recorded for transparency. We clearly announce which cards go to which teams/spots during the break. You'll also receive a break summary with your shipment showing exactly which cards were pulled from which packs.

We offer Random Team, Pick Your Team (PYT), Divisional (by UFC weight class), Hit Draft (where hits are drafted in order), and custom formats. Each format is clearly explained before the break begins.

We stream regularly on Whatnot. Follow us on Instagram @chicken1of1 for break schedules and announcements. Times vary but we try to accommodate different time zones throughout the week.

Absolutely! We love hearing from our community about which products you'd like to see broken. Send us a DM on Instagram or contact us directly with your requests. Popular requests often influence our break schedule.
