Ask expected...there are lots of crazy, stupid dollar amounts attached to many of the items for sale in the former B-29 assembly plant.

Okay, so I watched the above video and I recognize there's a segment of the hobby I know nothing about. Who is breaking what? Why is there a whole section at the National of people breaking something? And is this a hobby thing, or a gambling one? Is it a new rage, and is it related to the other breaking thread we have going? Just looking for a little education, thank you, as I am out of the loop.

I don't know either Barry, but they appear to have nice couches.

I've never done one of these, but if you followed the Kreindler raffle, it's something like that. Breaks are typically (but not always) for modern unopened cards. Let's say you have a pack with 30 cards for $300. The group decides on a break and sells each slot for $10 each (w/ slot 1 being the card on top, slot 2 being the second card in the pack and so on.). There are different ways to determine who gets what slot, usually a random number generator is used. Then the group opens the pack together, and divides the cards out. Occasionally someone will get a Hit, which is a valuable card (e.g., Mike Trout autographed rookie). That's pretty much it.

There are other breaks where someone just buys the entire pack themselves and opens the pack in front of a group, and everyone can see if he got anything good.

Edit: Just saw the Vintage Group Set Break thread. Yep, it's just like that.
