That's one of the, if not the, main things about Breakers, it's all about the hits. Just think how boring it would be for them to only ever open up boxes of base set cards where they're mostly going to be just common players. The people hosting the Breaks can only provide so much faux enthusiasm or Harry Caray imitations, to keep the audience amused and interested otherwise.
It will definitely be interesting to see if Fanatics continues long-term to produce card products that are primarily and more or less exclusively targeted for Breakers and their patrons.
