What a sports card break is

A seller opens hobby boxes or a sealed case live. Before opening, they split them into spots: each spot is a team.

Whoever gets a spot receives every card of that team that comes out.

Questions about breaks

What is a sports card break?
A seller opens sealed boxes or a case live (Topps Chrome, Bowman and more). Before opening, they sell spots; each spot is a team. The cards of your team that come out are yours, and the seller ships them to you.
How do I buy a spot?
Get Onda, save your card and join the show. Pick a team and bid before the timer runs out, from MX$20. If the seller turns it on, you can buy it now at the price you see.
What is a random break?
You buy a spot and get a random team, live and in front of everyone.
Can I watch a break before I buy?
Yes. Recordings of past breaks are open: you see the box, the auction of each spot and the hits that came out.
When do my cards arrive?
The seller ships within 5 business days with a tracking number. If it does not arrive, or it is not what the live showed, you request a refund.
How do I pay?
By card in the app; Stripe processes the charge. You pay only for the spots you win or buy.

Get Onda and join your first break.

Save your card and leave your pre-bid before the live.
