Blowout Cards

houdini runs the most professionally run breaks there are. Running the gamut from nightly case breaks and pack wars, and specializing in huge 50 and 100 case breaks, including auctions and graded vintage set breaks. houdini knows what he is doing and there is no one I trust more as an online group breaker. He doesn’t do a lot of gimmicky stuff while breaking, and that’s a good thing. Staightforward, no nonsense breaking.

Sometimes people complain about shipping time. Ask yourself, how long does it take to sort 50+! cases by player, even with some help? Be realistic and you will be happy. Also, I know that houdini ships more securely than any other breaker I’ve dealt with. It’s not even close.

There are people out there that like to hate on him, and the reason for that is that they can’t BE him. He’s the only one that gets my group break $$ any more. This guy is the consummate pro.

Matt needs to find cheaper ways of filling breaks. Not everyone can throw down $300 for a snake draft or divisional. Please start making some of the breaks all teams in or combo spots. I really want to break here, but there are cheaper options for the same products offered elsewhere.

Very bland room as well, nothing really entertaining from Matt. He isn’t a bad guy, just boring.

Shipping is great and fast, I will say that.

Great value for the money, but VERY slow shipping. A great place to buy if you are into Bowman flagship products.

Blowouttv is my breakers home. I am a big fan of Matty, he is as honest as they come. I like how most breaks are done on the fly, no schedules and all that bs. It is just a fin place to hang out, not to mention i have hit bigger in this room than anywhere else. Give blowout and Matt.a try you wont regret it.

Matt is great to deal with and fun. The people in chat are great as well. I’ve hit nice and have gotten beat down on breaks but that’s the way it goes . I always get stuff fast .

Matt is a really cool guy to talk to…even though i havent been in one of his breaks.. his room is still cool for me and he is a skins fan. go skins

best prices around for boxes/cases…been buying from these guys for years……had many gd hits….customer friendly service….

Matty T is as good as they come, Nice laid back group with no pressure to purchase and everyone makes you feel wanted, AND GO

Prices are at or below Blowoutcards.com pricing. Breaks are mainly aimed at higher end/higher cost product. Very wide variety of product and Matt will ask what viewers want to break. Does a good amount of personal breaks.

Matt does the casting and is very nice guy. They always have very good pricing, and ship next day on most things. If you have a older product you want the can most likely track it down for you. They do tend to run more High Dollar Breaks though, so if your looking for a cheap break it is not for you.

Best Daytime Room Anywhere.. No Doubt

Blowout Cards is a very unique breaking room as they break for only a few hours a day, during the day, then are off the rest of the time.

Their primary focus is all products, but not your standard PYT; they prefer to cater towards customers that are into the bigger purchases. For example, instead of a PYT, they would rather do divisional breaks OR 4,5,6, and 8 man snake drafts. They also do personal breaks.

If you know Blowout Cards, they are clearly a very large player in the sports card world, parent company to COMC, with only a couple of other larger stores in competition with them, like Dave & Adam’s card world or Atlanta Sports Cards; BO is clearly the leader.

With that said, their pricing is absolutely fair in NEW release product. If a product loses value, they will not break it. If a product increases value, then prepare to pay market price, even though they have one of the largest inventories in the US, on par with major distributors. For example, when National Treasures basketball released, they were one of the few companies that still held it. Cost of those cases, to the consumer, was approximately $1800. Their cost was in the $1650 to $1750 range. When the prices increased due to deman, even though they were sitting on a good quantity of them, they raised their prices to market, exceeding the $3,000 mark. Again, this is a business so this is not unusual.

They run a fair and even room, so there really is not a whole lot to not like in the room.

They keep a good variety of product so breaking anything is possible.

In regards to entertainment, their more straight-to-business than anything else, while keeping a polite breaking environment.

Overall, I would do business with them again and would continue to do so.

Great place to break and in my opinion is a good community to seek and find what you are looking for…..I gave a low grade on likeability simply based on some of the people breaking under the “Blowout” name. I would encourage them to NOT let some of these guys doing group breaks through the forum advertising themselves as representing the Blowout label. I had a VERY VERY bad experience with one of them and I’ll never do a break thru the forum again. I know this has nothing to do with the daytime Blowout site but nonetheless, this breaker represented himself as such. I felt cheated and honestly reminds me everytime i see the “Blowout” name. But for you new breakers in particular, definitely check them. But avoid doing breaks thru the forums.

I have bought in to breaks with Houdini.

Great experience every time. Houdini is a dependable, trustworthy breaker. Communicates clearly, is extremely professional, and is well organized. I would recommend CheapFunBreaks to anyone. Only downside – Pretty much mostly Bowman (which I like), so if you want more offerings, its a bit limited.

Matt is a stellar guy/breaker. The people in the room keep it entertaining and funny. Variety is good, it would be great IMO if he did mixers. My biggest complaint is the main format for breaks. They do a lot of 3 team random team or snake draft breaks for various sports. That makes the prices per break pretty expensive. They rarely do any single team breaks-(30 or so spots). I would join more often if the prices were lower, but on a limited budget I can’t join that often.

Houdini – Always does a nice job

Best variety in the business. Extremely secure shipping. Houdini and Matt are honest and professional.
