Frequently Asked Questions
We take a case or a box of cards. People take spots representing a specific team. For every card that person that owns the corresponding team gains ownership of the card.
It allows an affordable buy in for opening cases and boxes, with the same potential of getting the big hits, but please remember not every team will always get a card. Box breaks are then streamed Live on our Facebook, Youtube Channels

These rules apply whenever you buy a spot in a Blunt Collections NZ live break. They are designed to keep every break clear, consistent and fair. The individual product listing may include extra format-specific details; if it does, those details form part of the rules for that break.
1. How our breaks work
We open sealed trading-card products on a livestream and allocate the cards according to the format advertised in the listing. Formats can include Pick Your Team, Random Team, Random Division, Random Pack, player-based breaks, hit drafts and serial-number breaks. Please read the listing before purchasing because the allocation and shipping rules can differ between breaks.
2. Purchases, cancellations and refunds
A break spot purchases participation in a randomised opening; it does not guarantee a card, a particular player or team, a hit, or any minimum resale value. Once a break has begun or its teams and spots have been allocated, a purchase cannot normally be cancelled because of a change of mind, an unwanted allocation, the cards pulled, or later market-price movements.
If Blunt Collections NZ cancels a break or cannot provide the purchased service, we will offer an appropriate remedy. Nothing in these rules removes any rights or remedies available under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or other applicable New Zealand law.
3. Payment and unpaid spots
- A spot must be paid in full before the break starts.
- An unpaid or overdue spot may be released and offered to another collector.
- Any payment deadline stated in the listing or livestream notice applies to that break.
4. Random allocations
Where a break uses random teams, divisions, packs, players or another random allocation, we will use a recorded or otherwise transparent randomisation method. The number of randomisations and any special process will be stated in the listing or announced before allocation. Once the process is completed and recorded, the allocation is final unless we identify a genuine administrative error.
5. Cards showing multiple teams or players
If a card belongs to more than one eligible spot, it will first go to a participant who owns a clear majority of the represented teams or players. If there is no majority owner, the card will be randomised between the eligible owners. A participant who owns every represented spot receives the card automatically. If a listing states a different method, the listing takes priority.
6. Collegiate, international, retired-player and teamless cards
When a card does not show a clear professional team, we will use the official product checklist where available, together with the player’s team at the relevant release or the franchise with which the player is most closely associated. Retired players, international uniforms, unlicensed products and genuinely teamless cards will be allocated using a consistent, reasonable approach. We will explain any unusual ruling.
7. Base cards and bulk cards
The listing will say whether all cards ship, hits only ship, or selected rookies, inserts, parallels and hits ship. Veteran base and bulk commons may be excluded where the listing says so. If the listing is unclear, contact us before buying a spot.
8. Card condition and grading
Cards are handled carefully from the moment they leave the sealed product, but pack-fresh does not mean flawless. Print lines, centring, edge or corner wear, surface marks, chipping and other factory issues can occur. Blunt Collections NZ cannot promise a grade or accept responsibility for a manufacturer defect. If a serious issue is visible during the opening, we will document it and help with a manufacturer enquiry where reasonably possible.
9. Manufacturer and product issues
Collation, missing or substituted hits, redemptions, shorted boxes, packaging faults, delayed releases and other manufacturer-controlled matters are outside our control. We will communicate honestly and assist with evidence or a claim where practical, but any replacement or remedy offered by the manufacturer is determined by that manufacturer.
10. Livestream interruptions
If the stream, camera, audio, internet connection or hosting platform fails, we may pause the opening, continue recording locally, resume when the connection returns, or reschedule the unfinished portion. Our priority is to preserve the cards, maintain a reliable record and complete the break fairly.
11. Shipping break cards
Break cards may be combined with other eligible orders or held briefly for consolidated shipping when arranged. Shipping timing, inclusions and charges can vary by break, so the listing and our Shipping Policy should be checked. Customers are responsible for keeping their delivery address current before dispatch.
12. Unsold spots and house teams
Any team or spot that remains unsold may be retained by Blunt Collections NZ, discounted, combined, used in a promotion or giveaway, or otherwise managed before the break starts. We will not change a participant’s purchased allocation to resolve an unsold spot.
13. Respectful participation
Our streams and community spaces must remain welcoming and safe. We may refuse or restrict participation where there is abusive or harassing conduct, suspected fraud, repeated payment problems, misuse of chargebacks, or behaviour that materially disrupts a stream or the collector community.
14. Unusual situations and final rulings
Trading-card checklists occasionally create situations that are not covered perfectly by a standard rule. Blunt Collections NZ may make a final allocation or process decision when ownership is unclear, provided the decision is made honestly, consistently and with a reasonable explanation. Where possible, we will refer to the checklist, the advertised format and the fairest outcome for the eligible participants.
By purchasing a break spot, you confirm that you have read the listing and agree to these rules.
Breaks are listed on our website or our Facebook Group “Blunt Breaks NZ “ and spots can be purchased via our website using multiple forms of payment that we offer. Bank Transfers for facebook breaks are also welcomed. Please Check Details On Facebook Posts.
Thank you for your purchase! Once all the spots are sold in a break we will post on Facebook advising of the break time. We try to break boxes as soon as the break is filled so make sure you stay tuned to our Facebook account. All orders will have an email receipt sent to your nominated email address provided upon purchase.
For Random Team Break/Minis/Fillers to ensure fairness we randomize the teams six (6) times using random.org. Video Recordings and Results Will be posted on our Facebook Group page – Blunt Breaks NZ – These teams/spots are then allocated to the spot purchased for that break/mini/filler
Sometimes cards contain multiple players and in that instance the card is held until the end of the break and those players teams are randomised using random.org. The team that finishes on top after seven (6) randomisations is declared the winner. In special cases if it’s a big card we will let the people involved decide if they want to work out a deal or take it to a randomiser. If no decision can be made in 48 hours then it will go to a randomiser.
College cards are allocated to the team which the player first played NBA for. Representative cards are allocated to the team that player played the most games for unless its stated differently on the product checklist.
Obviously we have no control over what cards are in the boxes so we can’t promise anything except that every card allocated to your drawn team will be yours.
