I have used dozens of breakers in the past two years, but I have found a home with Chris and TSB. Chris does a great job bringing you the hits and always throws in a few extras to the breaks. A genuine good guy and loves the hobby and his customers.

One of the best breakers. Always looking out for customers.will toss in lots of amazing bonuses and always has the best prices. The skunk protection is amazing. You will always get a mail day. I think he is changing how we break and making the community stand out.

TSB has been an excellent breaker site for years now. Chris is my go-to when it comes to breaking, always fun and always looking out to make sure everyone gets a chance at a nice hit. Definitely appreciate the skunk protection!!

I’ve broken with around 10 breakers and I can say Chris and tsb is one of, if not the best!!! He’s knowledgable of the product and the players, ships quickly, and takes care of his regulars!! I would recommend him in a second to anyone interested in getting into a break!

Chris and the rest of the TSB crew are outstanding. If I’m ever asked who I break with, it is 100% with TSB. Prices that blow other breakers out of the water for value! It’s easy to log on, without even buying a spot, and spend hours in chat hanging out with the other customers and chattin it up with Chris. He pulls some MAJOR hits, and if it were me pulling the monters…I’d be mad to let them go, but he actually ENJOYS pulling monsters for other people…it’s crazy! He keeps tabs on who you PC, what teams you like, and if you ever go hitless, their skunk protection is head&shoulders above the competition. If you ever see another breaker doing something fun/new/innovative/ridiculous…check with TSB… they probably did it first! Free givvy’s, 100% skunk protection, national packs, father’s day packs, random monster givvys, fast fill bonuses, last pack auto randoms…all random to buyers..and sometimes even to those in chat! And let’s not forget this thing we have dubbed ‘NEWBIE MOJO’! It seems like the majority of the time, new buyers get crazy mojo and hits. There are probably DOZENS of newbie mojo stories from people buying in one night, hitting unreal hits, and never leaving! I’m definitely one of those guys!

Fair prices, with many loyal, easy-to-trade-with customers, fun environment, random giveaways, variety from baseball, football, wrestling, basketball, star wars, figures….and if you have a request for a product that others show interest in…he’s not afraid to give it a try!

I’ve done breaks with one other company, before I found TSB, and have done breaks exclusively through TSB for over a year.

Give’em a chance if you’re looking for a new breaker, looking for your first breaker, or just looking for a bunch of guys who enjoy the hobby, and enjoy talking about the hobby.

Tell him Elbert sent you, and maybe he’ll heckle you a little more!

I love breaking with topshelf! There is every kind of break you can imagine and for every kind of budget. The company is all about the collector because that’s what they are themselves. It’s fun to spend time with the guys each night sharing a hobby we all enjoy.

It’s not called topshelf for nothing. Chris does a great job and if you ever have a question his response time is second to none. He welcomes new customers with open arms. He is always coming up with new ideas to keep it fresh and often has giveaways as well. If you are looking for great product at honest pricing go no further !

Been with TSB since Day 1. Not only entertaining but the group is pretty much family. As an international collector, it is great to see a breaker treat you as just another collector rather than a pain in the ass to ship to (yes some of the other breakers I have broken with or reached out to like to point out internationally shipping is expensive etc).

Anyways back to these guys, best in the business and strongly recommend to anybody who is looking for something more than a box cutter and a webcam.

Great breaker. Makes newbies feel welcome. Throws in lots of extras and does other draws/give-aways whenever the mood strikes which is often. Good atmosphere and great bunch of people in the room during breaks

TSB is top notch. Since day one I have felt like family. The price points are great, shipping is quick, and hospitality is amazing. I highly recommend TSB!

TSB , is by far the most personable, and generous breakers on the scene. Plenty of variety, and always breaks the product when it is supposed to break. I think of them as friends, and am proud to support them .

Chris is very passionate about what he does and it shows. If there were bigger breaks and more high end product I would buy more often.

One of the most annoying breakers out there, all of these good reviews probably got a nice freebie to leave the good feedback. You have to wait for ever for a break to fill and if it doesnt the main guy CK will just take spots in the break just to break, thats just taking the chance of a good team being taken from a paying customer. Plays well to his “buddies” all the time but neglects new people. Truly the only reason people stay around is for all the free stuff otherwise theyd be gone.

Good Room with a great group of guys who all seem very close. Chris has a perfect blend of personality and entertainment and has breaks for every budget.

I have been involved with #Top Shelf Breaks since close to day 1, really interacts well with customers, great breaks are posted in all price ranges, great giveaways, and really looks after the International buyers like myself.

Chris interacts very well with his customers, one of his breaks is a “Family Night”, where the children of his breakers hop in chat and join in the fun and try to win prizes, I know my boys love “Family Night”, the time difference doesn’t matter its just one of many fun breaks that happen on Top Shelf Breaks and I don’t break anywhere else except the odd Aussie break.

I have been breaking for a couple years now and have tried a lot of breakers out there but out of them all Top Shelf Breaks from my experience is simply the BEST. It’s not just about the monster finds, you know those 1 of 1 ‘ s but it’s more about the family friendly breaks. They make you feel welcomed and appreciated for not only buying into breaks but to just tune into watching their breaks. Not only are their prices better most of the time but they give away unbelievably valuable collector items.

But more importantly they are constantly communicating with the loyal breakers about how and what they can do to make the experience even better.

5 Stars is just not enough.

Nice breaker who really enjoys the people in the chat and what he breaks. He seems to be one of the people in the business who actually seem to be in this for the enjoyment of the hobby instead of trying to just earn a buck.

We do not get into many breaks, but we were fortunate enough to meet Chris Keller at The National this past summer in Chicago. His passion and drive for this industry was evident by his display of energy and excitement as he ripped cases upon cases of cards open in the Breaker Pavilion at the NSCC! Well, we finally got the nerve recently to jump into a break with Top Shelf Breaks and even though we didn’t hit as many jazzy booms as we were hoping for, we did hit a Marlon Mack (PC) auto in a Panini Contenders case break so that definitely was good karma! Its nice to be able to go somewhere online to enjoy a night of watching packs get ripped, hits being pulled and engaging in fun conversations with others in the chat room! Chris is very laid back and takes a comical approach which enhances the entertainment value! Looking forward to participating in more breaks where we can feel confident, trust the breaker and also enjoy a night watching him rip whether we hit a monster or not! Keep up the great work CK! #ClickIt2WinIt – SpartyHawk Cache

Had a $100 credit I was saving til my favorite football products came out but code wouldnt work. He would not let me use it saying it expires even though it doesn’t say it does. Not really fair at all
