FAQ
Short answers about the product. Buying always happens on the seller or platform, not here.
- What is BreakRadar?
- BreakRadar is a card-breaking aggregator and scheduler. It brings together upcoming and live sports card and TCG breaks from Fanatics Live, Whatnot, and independent card shops across the US, Canada, and the UK into one searchable schedule, plus a buy-now price comparison board across multiple sellers for sealed wax.
- Is BreakRadar free to use?
- Yes, browsing the schedule and buy-now board is free.
- Does BreakRadar sell cards or run breaks directly?
- No. BreakRadar doesn't sell anything or run breaks itself — it aggregates listings from Fanatics Live, Whatnot, independent shops, StockX, and eBay so you can find and compare breaks and buy-now listings in one place. When you buy, you're buying directly from the seller or platform.
- How often is the schedule updated?
- BreakRadar is built to refresh on an automated daily crawl. Between refreshes, times and prices can be out of date — always confirm final details on the seller's own page before buying.
- What platforms does BreakRadar track?
- Fanatics Live, Whatnot (show start alerts), independent card shops across the US, Canada, and the UK, StockX (sealed wax buy-now only), and eBay Live.
- Does BreakRadar work in Canada?
- Yes. BreakRadar tracks Canadian independent shops and clearly flags shipping coverage on every listing so Canadian buyers can tell whether a US or UK seller actually ships to Canada. Fanatics Live is region-locked: a US Fanatics shop is not a UK shop, and UK Fanatics does not ship to CA/US.
- Does BreakRadar track Pokémon and other TCGs, or just sports cards?
- Both. We track sports cards (NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, and more) as well as Pokémon and other trading card games from shops and sellers already on the allowlist.
- Why don't I see live inventory from a specific Whatnot seller?
- Whatnot doesn't allow advance browsing of what a seller will sell before they go live. BreakRadar tracks a curated list of sellers and shows show-start alerts, rather than promising a catalog Whatnot itself doesn't expose.
- Is buy-now pricing on BreakRadar live and accurate?
- Prices are pulled from each seller's own listing during our crawl. Always double-check the price on the seller's page before completing a purchase, since prices can change between refreshes.
- What's the difference between the Buy Now and Auctions & Rips tabs?
- Buy Now shows fixed-price listings only. Auctions & Rips shows starting-bid and live-format listings separately, since a $1 starting bid isn't a real price comparison against a fixed listing.
- Does BreakRadar show shipping information?
- Yes, wherever the seller publishes it. Every independent shop and platform listing is tagged with what we could confirm about where it ships — we don't guess or assume a shop ships somewhere just because most shops do.
