Everything you need to know to join an NBA break with BSC Breaks
What is a break?
A break is the collective and shared opening of NBA card boxes live on our Twitch or YouTube streams. The concept is simple: each participant reserves one or more spots before the live (spot, team or player). All the cards from your spot that are drawn are yours. At BSC Breaks, several formats are available depending on your preferences and budget: Pick Your Team, Random, TierBreak, or Pick Your Player.
Breaks
The 4 Formats Explained
Pick Your Team (PYT)
30 spots available, one per NBA team. Each spot has a different price based on the team's value. You freely choose the team you want. All cards from your team come to you.
TierBreak
10 numbered spots (#1 to #10). Each spot guarantees 3 teams: 1 Tier 1 team (the best), 1 Tier 2 team and 1 Tier 3 team. Teams are drawn live. One fixed price for all spots.
Random
30 spots at a single price. You buy a spot without knowing your team in advance. All 30 NBA teams are randomly assigned during the live.
Pick Your Player (PYP)
Premium format for high-end boxes (Panini Noir, Flawless, National Treasures...). You choose a star player or a team lot. All cards from your player or team come to you.
Personal Opening
You purchase an NBA card box that BSC Breaks opens live on Twitch or YouTube. All the cards are yours — it's your opening, just for you. No fixed date: opened during the next live session.
BSC Marketplace
- •The BSC Marketplace is a space where NBA cards are sold individually.
- •Two types of cards available: consignment cards (cards owned by customers, entrusted to BSC Breaks for sale), and cards from BSC's own stock.
- •For consignment cards: BSC Breaks takes a 10% commission on the sale. The owner receives the net amount as BSC Credit, usable on all purchases on the site (breaks, Personal Opening, Marketplace, shipping fees).
- •BSC Credit is visible in your My Marketplace space. If you have a balance, it will be offered during your payment steps — breaks, Personal Opening, Marketplace and shipping fees — and you can choose to use it in full or in part.
- •How it works: BSC Breaks handles the photos and listing of your card. Then go to your My Marketplace to sell your card at a fixed price or by auction, and activate the listing to make it visible in the Marketplace.
- •All cards sold on the Marketplace are shipped via the same system as breaks (Mondial Relay, UPS, or in-person pick-up).
🛎️ Auctions
- •As a buyer: some PYT breaks and some Marketplace cards are offered by auction. The minimum bid is the last offer + €1.
- •Proxy bid: you can enter a maximum amount — the system automatically bids in €1 increments up to your limit.
- •Anti-snipe: if a bid is placed in the last 15 seconds, the countdown is extended by 15 seconds. This extension is capped at a maximum of 30 seconds — no matter how many last-second bids are placed, the timer can never exceed now + 30 seconds.
- •Payment window: if you win an auction, you have 72 hours to complete your payment (instead of 5 minutes for standard purchases).
- •As a Marketplace seller: once your card is listed by BSC Breaks, go to your My Marketplace space to put it up for auction: set a starting price, an end date and time.
- •For PYT breaks: some breaks offer their teams by auction. The 30-team table shows the current price and the leading bidder's username in real time.
How It Works
The 5 Steps
🏀 Step 1 — Choose your break
Browse the available breaks and choose your preferred format (PYT, Random, TierBreak, PYP or Personal Opening). Each break shows the boxes being opened, the live date, the number of remaining spots and the price. You have 5 minutes to complete your payment once your spot is reserved.
💳 Step 2 — Secure payment
Pay securely via Stripe or using BSC Credit. Your reservation is confirmed instantly by email. BSC Breaks does not store any banking data.
📺 Step 3 — Live opening
Watch the opening live on Twitch or YouTube with the entire BSC Breaks community. For Random and TierBreak formats, teams are drawn at random during the live in front of the whole community. For PYT and PYP formats, your team or player is already known — just sit back and enjoy the live! 🌍 Breaks take place in French and English. BSC Breaks is an international community with members from many different countries — everyone is welcome regardless of their language!
Replays are available on the Live page of the website.
📦 Step 4 — Request your shipment whenever you want
After the live, your cards are kept safe by BSC Breaks until you submit your shipping request. There is no time limit — you request shipment when you're ready. Shipping costs are your responsibility and are calculated based on your country and chosen carrier (Mondial Relay or UPS). BSC Breaks ships across Europe.

🍪 Step 5 — Receive your cards
Once your request is validated, BSC Breaks prepares your package and ships it as soon as possible. You receive an email with your tracking number as soon as it's dispatched.
