How Breaks Work

Join us on our live stream on Instagram @thecoffeebreakers, live daily from 11AM to 3AM. From there you will be able to interact with our team. Once the breaks are filled the boxes/packs will be opened on stream for you to see the cards that will then be shipped to the customers.

Card Grades

A card's grade can heavily impact its value. For example, a card of a NBA Player may be worth $50 without a grade. However, if the card receives a grade of 9, the value may increase to $200. If the card receives a grade of 10, the value may then jump to $500. 

Cards can be graded by different grading companies, including PSA, Beckett, and SGC. Here at Cards and Coffee, we provide submission services to help you submit your card to PSA to receive a grade. For more information, please contact us on Instagram or through email.
