Exactly right on all points. Most adults don't think those type of break bros are cool, but kids definitely do. I immediately have to leave if I stumble upon one. None of the bigger influencers are going to say anything because they're too busy trying to ride fanatics coattail.
About time someone spoke about this, took me about 6 months in this hobby to finally figure out this whole box opening and breaking stuff is a big flush of money. Sure opening the boxes are fun but the prices of some of these for the value is insane. Couple that with the fact breaking is unregulated gambling and your losing no matter what. Proud to have not bought into a break since July and a box since December, singles all day.
I was not expecting this conversation from someone named Degen, but I totally agree (I have a 5 year old). (*note, I am a fan and enjoy your degen humor, too) Much respect man. Thanks for shining a spotlight on the issue. Hopefully something comes from it.
Good stuff Degen. I'll gladly shake my fist at the sky with you in regards to breaks and the gambling atmosphere. The hobby doesn't need it to be appealing.
Anybody with any common sense would never ever let someone else open your packs or boxes online!!! The problem with it is you're not there, and people will take advantage of you!!! Just like a magician, some of these breakers can scam your break... People need to smarten up!!!! Ty Mr. D for your great insight on this matter....
Well said. I've even watched some breaking streams where host have interacted with kids in breaks. The host did say that no one under 18 should be participating in breaks. I cringed even with that warning from the host.
Well said Degen. I've had pretty much the same thought about this in the past. And it's not only Fanatics live, there is so much unregulated stuff going on around the internet that target kids specifically. Social media like Tiktok is a cesspool of it. It's crazy that there hasn't been more government regulations.
I completely agree. When I first started the hobby I would buy into breaks nonstop. I never realized the consequences and I will be paying for them for a while. Thanks for the video
You're absolutely right that breaking is gambling, there really needs to be more discussion on it. A lot of people are addicted to it and blow all their money just like people addicted to casinos do. Except one is a known evil and the other is "just cards" so it's not considered taboo
As a guy that live in Vegas, I absolutely 19488474 percent agree with you. Some will argue a hobby box is the same or worse. They're just lying to themselves. All this "legal" gambling needs to be regulated somehow. Michael Rubin needs to step up. But he's a clown, so he won't do anything. Whether in cards or video games. Kids are being persuaded to gamble without knowing it. Sad really.
I agree with you Degen. Pimping Fanatic breaks in kids packs is a little over the top. Wait until Fanatics takes over the autograph meet and greets and instead of some athletes being a fair price Fanatics jacks up their prices and they can only sign Fanatics owned products. 2024 Series One Fanatics Blasters, Hangers, Jumbo Boxes, Fat Packs in that order. That said buy singles of what you want and you will save money! I love to rip but even I have come to the realization that it's funner to speculate and buy a few player's cards then flip them when they get called up or have a great game/season.
Very well said. Thank you for taking a stand on this issue. They are masking the hobby rip night as a gateway into breaking for kids. It appears Fanatics is trying to hook them early. Breaking has its place in the hobby for sure but promoting it to kids just feels wrong IMO.
As someone who is becoming a dad for the first time next month and also a breaker. I will never let my kids join breaks. It is the gambling portion of the hobby that should be age restricted to adults. Breaks in general are fine, everything in moderation. But im not alright with marketing them to kids. Spot on degen.
I could never buy into breaks because i love opening packs. Why would i want someone else to open the packs and then not even get many cards. Didn't make sense to me wether you're an adult or kid to buy into breaks.
Yea i agree with you , fanatics is rubbing people the wrong way with that live breaking crap. Smh and hell no , i would never let my kid join breaks. Hobby is about collecting what you like and keeping it fun!
Recovering addict here. 20 yes sober. You are speaking the truth brother. Breaking is the worst thing to happen to the hobby. I have not done it because I know I would not stop. It takes all the fun out of it. Thanks man 😊
You are absolutely right . Ripping cards or Buying cards in break are gambling . Bad gambling very much like slot machine where you put a fixed amount of money and hope to hit something good in return . And you are making store and breaker rich. They use your money to buy boxes thousand of dollars.
Preach 🙏 the other ugly side is when these breaks dont go their way, a lot of the younger people in the hobby will just drop the hobby altogether. They will most likely never experience the joy the hobby can bring. That sucks too but not as much as the endorsement of gambling.
Nailed it man. Gambling as a whole should talked about. You can't watching a sporting even ton TV without being bombarded with casino adverts and lines/odds talk from the anchors.
Completely agree Degen. There is no doubt in my mind that Fanatics' reason for taking over Topps was they saw the margin expansion possibilities by pushing breaking on the masses. The creation of Fanatics Live makes that obvious, but it doesn't take a genius to see how breaking is hugely profitable for the card manufacturers because it keeps wax prices artificially high. WIthout breaking, there is no explanation for why wax prices have gotten so out of whack with singles prices. There would be no rational market explanation for it. That's one of my issues with Cards HQ - on the one hand I like Geoff. I think he's trying to do positive things for the hobby and you can see in his videos he's passionate about it and enjoys getting kids involved, but his putting breaking rooms into his store bugs me for the reasons you mentioned about breaking in general. From a business perspective, it's probably necessary to support the square footage he has and the overhead that entails, as his breaking will bring in profits for the store when the foot traffic is down. But it still rubs me wrong.
If the hobby was filled with breakers like you degen, the hobby would be a wonderful place. However, what you said about frat bros with too much money is so accurate. It’s very disappointing seeing what it’s turned to after the past couple years.
Glad you addressed this, I think it is a bad look for the hobby for sure. You want people to stay in the hobby for the love of it not for $$ you might make, maybe lol. Keep up the good work and fun videos!
I couldn’t agree with you more on whatnot and how the hobby wants to shove it down our throats…I’ve been buying on eBay since 2014 with 100% feedback and I don’t buy anywhere else because of the e guarantee and eBay protects the buyer with.
Wanna be disgusted? Add up all the spots in a break then subtract what we know the case cost is…. They make about 3-500% margins and no one ever bats an eye. Yes there are supplies and shipping but it’s way out of control. Nothing about this hobby is for kids anymore
Fanatics Live Terms & Agreement says upon Account Registration that "You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legal age to form a binding contract and not a person barred from using the Platform under the laws of the United States, your place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction." They place the onus on the registrant. Also, their marketing of Topps Hobby Rip Night is geared more towards younger aged folks than it is to adults. Where is the actual age verification on the fanatics live registration???? I didn't see it. **I'd be interested to know How many 12-17 yr old kids currently have a fanatics live account that fanatics has NOT kicked them off the platform or checked their actual information?**
I would never let my kid participate in a break or go on WhatNot. Mind you, he’s four, but that’ll be a rule for a long time. We collect cards together as a way to bond and to teach him about sports, players and teams. Selling little kids on the hobby is a good thing. It just needs to be done in a more tasteful and educational way then pawning off $15 vouchers to random breaks on them.
I agree i have a 9 year old I think the biggest problem is the parents using their kids to try to get free stuff My kid would never go on what not or fanatics live. Ive taught them the value of a dollar properly.
Nice video, love the hobby, never been in a break, it is gambling for sure. Depending on the breaker, it does share the risk of the box across more people and can bring value
I think u bring up great points and I agree with you. I also think Fanatics is completely awful in every way for the hobby in general! I don't feel like Rubin is a very good dude. This is all about Greed in the end! I can't stand breakers for the most part, especially ones screaming and yelling and acting like idiots. I hate breaking! I really do. It's just completely made things into something I personally don't really care for. Again, I'm not saying this about everyone, but a really big majority. And I guess u could say that opening cards in general is gambling anymore, but breaks would certainly fall under that category I'd say. I guess it's just cool to know that u think that way and that u aren't a dirtball! Lol
Unfortunately opening Sportscards at home or wherever is gambling. What are the odds of breaking even on any box? 1in20? That’s even pushing it. Kids can’t even afford to open packs for fun.
Breaks aren’t that bad, it’s the breakers themselves that have made it that way. At its core it’s not any different than buying packs from Walmart. But I can see how it might get out of hand if you let it. Breaking began between friends, splitting the cost of a product they couldn’t afford by themselves. How it’s a huge industry with folks bringing in multiple six figures a year . These breakers are making 50-75 % profit off every box if not more. It’s gotten out of hand.
Yeah the hobby is all about the money. Ripping boxes and packs is a total scam and the sooner people realize that and stop buying the better. People need to realize that apps like What Not and buying into breaks is extremely addicting and companies will attempt to make profit on that. Personally, I think breakers are very scummy and ruin the hobby. And you’re right, you don’t know what the breaker knows. They could say “buy into this break for x amount over market value for the chance of getting this super rare case hit” but maybe they’ve already ripped a few boxes and pulled that case hit ya know? Everyone is just chasing that dopamine hit and breakers and companies are just monetizing that. It’s sad.
Geoff Wilson would 1000% let his kid join a break if it meant more views. He has that kid ripping boxes of cards most adults can't even afford. He and his type of view/clout chasers have changed this hobby for the worse. Breakers have made it worse. The whole hobby has become gambling. Ripping boxes is gambling. Breaking is gambling. It's not about collecting and Mr. Wilson and those types have been the biggest proponents of chasing the big hit instead of collecting what you like or the player you like.
The “hobby” is supposed to be fun but they are exposing gambling to younger folks way too much. Adults should definitely give a warning signs to this as it can be just as addictive as drugs or other bad behavior. They are not doing a good job by promoting this stuff to the youth.
I agree with what you are saying, however, let’s look at it from all points. If a child can go into a retail store and buy a pack or a blaster of cards, is this no different than breaking online. The odds are just as poor for retail purchases. So the only difference we see here is one is a physical version and another is digital. The only way I can compare this is, if online breaking is digital gambling, then retail purchases are lottery tickets. If the odds are inappropriate and instill gambling problems in one format, it does it in another. So this raises the question. Should they do something about card opening, or breaking, in general as they would with gambling and lottery tickets. A very weird perspective. I agree with you though, it does create horrible habits at a young age, but the way of which you consume your poison should be viewed no different from each format.
You buy a pack or a blaster, you get what's in it, good or bad. You go into a break, and you can get nothing. Also, the thought of it being a lottery ticket, is only based upon what you're hoping to get. We have glorified the big hit. Collecting can take on so many forms and when i buy a pack, I generally enjoy that process. And unlike a lottery ticket, it's not all or nothing. The issue is when Fanatics runs the breaks AND also prices the product. They can price everyone out of the primary market and force them to their higher value (to them) breaks. They know the power of the hobby. Most of us went crazy in 2020. For the only time since I was 7 years old, I basically stopped buying. A lot of us made irrational value decisions. Breaks are generally irrational value decisions. Get them at a young age to feel the power of a "LFG!" I think it's shameful too.
@@printsig3576 Very good points. I too dislike that they are essentially monopolizing the market. To be honest, what's stopping them from rigging the boxes in their favor, not even that, but they don't even necessarily need to tell us anything, this could all be behind the scenes. The biggest thing for me is, the consumers spending and experience is all dependent on their own blind trust in the company. That's that drives me crazy. There isn't any sort of body that holds them accountable, or even questions what and how they do things or conduct business. Wild times.
The whole hobby is gambling. The odds really can’t be trusted on the boxes either when they obviously have influencer boxes. Degen’s is one of the worse gamblers lol he’s chasing the big hits to sell not trying to put sets together or whatever else the hobby purist do. He tosses low value cards around like trash. Plus he keeps his channel family friendly. He’s pretty much promoting gambling to kids too.
How dare you start your video that way!! I am not beautiful, and I am offended that you would ever think that way!! Also, I am 100% for kids gambling!!!

Sorry to hear you had to learn the hard way. Your story is not uncommon unfortunately. GO JETS!

Talk to a gambler and then to a card breaker. The lingo is the exact same. “Hits” monster hand=monster pack etc
I agree with you brotha!
Your 💯% right Degen. Glad you spoke up!
Yea thats pretty scummy, but it all comes down to the bottom line. Get em hooked young
You are spot on Degen
💯 you are right on point. Can’t have a healthy society with a young population addicted to gambling
I could never buy into breaks because i love opening packs. Why would i want someone else to open the packs and then not even get many cards. Didn't make sense to me wether you're an adult or kid to buy into breaks.

Preach 🙏 the other ugly side is when these breaks dont go their way, a lot of the younger people in the hobby will just drop the hobby altogether. They will most likely never experience the joy the hobby can bring. That sucks too but not as much as the endorsement of gambling.
My LCS had one Saturday as well. I didn't hit anything. But bought a series 1 hanger at Walgreen's and hit a Evan Carter Golden Mirror
Nailed it man. Gambling as a whole should talked about. You can't watching a sporting even ton TV without being bombarded with casino adverts and lines/odds talk from the anchors.
This is really good take! You need to have a podcast my man

That’s correct

Spot on. Unfortunately, video games have already been pushing kids to gamble for years. Loot boxes, MUT packs, etc.
Thanks for the fanatics live code :D
💀
Kids toys and candy already has kids addicted to gambling. Buy this sealed package and chase these figurines. It'll never go away
As always great video 👍

I’m a nobody but I pass hard on breaks 😂 I’d rather rip the packs myself burn the voucher scam artist fanatics is sket ch
yeah that sounds not good
