About Us

West Oz Cards is a family owned business working from our home in Clarkson, Western Australia. What started as a school yard addiction of trading NBA sports cards in the mid 90's boom time has led to an appetite to bring fantastic USA sports collectible products to Australia at great prices and hosting a great Group Breaking platform. We also aim for a fair dinkum approach to customer service as we value fairness and honesty in the hobby.

West Oz Cards was founded in August of 2014 on a part-time basis whilst Ben still continued his FIFO job in mining. However the fun and passion for cardboard was far too great and we started running the business on a full time basis in August 2019.
Currently as of August 2021 we have facilitated over 900 Mixer Group Breaks and over 300 Case Breaks! That's a lot of Cardboard! Some of our biggest Group Break hits have been valued at over $50,000 Australian dollars and cost only a tiny fraction of that to enter!

Group Break Information

Group Breaks are an exciting way to be involved in opening products without bearing the entire cost of product. For a marginal fee compared to the combined price of the products, you can choose a team or be allocated a random team and when the products are opened, you receive the allocated cards for your team. West Oz Cards live stream all group breaks on both Youtube and Facebook so you can be guaranteed as to their authenticity.

Types of group breaks include;

•     Pick Your Team - Where participants via the check-out system, will choose their team.

•     Random Team - Where each participant gets allocated a random team through random.org prior to the group break.

•     Team Draft - Where all participants are randomized through random.org to create a draft list. Then the #1 ranked participant can choose their team from all the teams available, then the #2 pick chooses their team from the remaining teams etc. until all teams are picked.

•     Hit Draft - Where all participants are randomized using random.org to make a list. Then the #1 ranked participant can choose their card from all the cards available, then the #2 pick chooses their card from the remaining  cards etc. until all Cards are picked.

•     Snake Draft - Where participants are randomized using random.org to make a list. The product is opened so all participants can see all cards. Then in list order, participants choose a card each. If there is more cards than participants, then the picks snake back from last to first again.
  

•     Serial Number Break - Where 10 participants are randomized a number from 0 - 9. The products are opened and the cards go to the number that is immediately to the left of the "/". Eg. If the card is numbered 12/20 it will go to the participant owning the number 2 spot. If the card is numbered 143/199 it will go to the participant owning the number 3 spot. This is also used in a 1-99 format with 99 participants.
  

West Oz Cards Group Break Rules

Group Break rules vary between companies so it is important to verify the rules prior to entering a group break. West Oz Cards follows the same set of rules for each break as below.

•    If a card features players from multiple teams, the card will be randomized among the teams represented. NO majority rules.

•     All Panini 'Rewards Points' will be randomized among ALL participants at the end of the group break. Multiple points cards will be distributed in order of high to low from 1st place.
