Break Rules

Everything customers need to know before buying a break spot, filler, or PYT team. Purchasing constitutes agreement to the terms below.

01

General Rules

Updated October 15, 2026
!

Every purchased spot is guaranteed to receive at least one physical card or pack of cards. Specific cards, hits, and a minimum value per spot are not guaranteed. By purchasing a spot or filler, you agree to all rules and terms on this page.

  • Breaks are live-streamed on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@HitmanRips/streams and archived for transparency and verification.
  • Breaks are numbered in order but may run out of numerical order depending on what sells out first.
  • Listed dates and times are for the start of the livestream, not the exact time of your specific break.
  • Bounties, case hits, and similar chase items are not guaranteed to remain live when your break actually runs.
  • An automatic $2.50 discount applies for each additional full break spot on the same order only.
  • Each break uses the products and quantities identified in its product description.
  • Depending on the products included, possible card types may include base cards, inserts, parallels, autographs, memorabilia cards, redemption cards, and sketch cards.
02

Break Types

Format A

Random Team Break

  • All spots are priced equally.
  • Teams are randomized live via Random.org.
  • You know your team before the break starts.
  • You receive all cards from your assigned team.
  • Results are final once randomized.
Format B

Pick Your Team

  • Each team is sold at its own listed price.
  • You choose your team at checkout.
  • You receive all cards for your purchased team or teams.
  • No team randomization is needed.
  • Pricing varies by team demand.

No cards allocated to your spot? A card or pack of cards from separate inventory will be provided. Store credit or a share of a card does not replace the physical-item guarantee.

Card Assignment Rules

Team placement: Cards go to the team printed on the front or back of the card. If no team is printed, the card goes to the team shown by the jersey being worn.

Multi-player cards, non-numbered: Two-player cards go to the top, left, or front team in odd-numbered breaks and to the bottom, right, or back team in even-numbered breaks. Updated June 8, 2023

Multi-player hits and numbered cards: Numbered cards, autographs, memorabilia cards, SPs, SSPs, case hits, and cards valued over $100 at the breaker's discretion are randomized via Random.org. A participant receives one entry per player spot they own.

  • Cards with three or more players or teams are always randomized.
  • Points cards and untied redemptions are randomized to all spots in the break.
  • College and USA cards go to the player's most recent preseason, regular season, or playoff team. Rookies go to their current team.
  • Retired players go to the team on the card, or if none is shown, the team they played the most games with.
  • Relocated franchise examples include Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Oilers to Tennessee Titans.
  • If a situation is not covered, the breaker makes the final ruling based on fairness.
04

Randomization Policy

R

All randomizations use Random.org or a comparable transparent tool. If a randomization is performed with the wrong participant list or team list, it is invalid and must be rerun. Effective May 14, 2024

  • Participant names may be entered in no particular order and customers do not choose their position on any list.
  • Names may be reordered before randomization for administrative reasons such as cancellations.
  • Input order has zero effect on the final randomized result when a true randomizer is used.
  • Each possible permutation is equally probable and results are final once the randomization is run on stream.
05

Shipping

Guaranteed cards or packs may be combined with another shipment. No additional purchase is required to receive them.

Region Included? Notes
United States Included USA shipping is included in break prices.
Australia Current Rate USPS restrictions were removed, so the quoted website rate is the correct rate.
International Varies See the international shipping page.

Protect your shipment. Add shipping insurance to cover loss or damage in transit. Choose the option that matches your destination:

Break timing and order: Breaks may run out of numerical order, and actual break time may vary based on the length of the full livestream schedule.

06

Payments and Refunds

$

All sales are final once a break or filler has been randomized or completed. The result does not change our obligation to provide the guaranteed physical card or pack.

  • Manual payments through Venmo, Zelle, or similar methods must be received and confirmed before the break starts or the order will be canceled.
  • Recorded break footage and randomization results document the break and spot allocation. Physical cards or packs are still provided under the item guarantee.
  • Sales tax is collected in applicable states and additional states may be added if nexus thresholds are reached.

Sales tax states: Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Hawaii, Louisiana, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Washington, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Indiana, Massachusetts, Florida, Rhode Island, New York, and California.

07

Bounties

Active Bounties

Hit a card with the left serial number matching the current target number to win.

Minor Bounty + $100

Added every break it is not hit

Major Bounty + $50

Added every break it is not hit

  • Bounties pay up to $1,000 in cash, with any remaining amount issued as store credit.
  • Bounties over $2,000 may be paid up to 50% in cash, with the remainder as store credit.
  • Store credit does not expire until further notice.
  • Complete sets do not count toward bounties unless a listing explicitly says otherwise.
08

Fillers

A filler provides a chance to enter a specific break. Advancement, a team, or a final placement in the main break is not guaranteed. The filler listing explains how many spots advance.

  • Filler winners are determined randomly using Random.org or a similar transparent method.
  • Every purchased filler spot is guaranteed to receive at least one physical card or pack of cards, whether or not it advances into the main break.
  • If your filler spot does not advance or receives no cards from the break, a card or pack from separate inventory will be provided. No additional purchase is required to receive it.
  • No refunds are issued after the filler drawing is run.
  • Filler drawings are conducted live and/or recorded on YouTube for transparency.
