Welcome!
Welcome to Departure Breaks, a baseball-first break group built around one simple idea: the breaks are fun, but the community is the reason people come back.
We're different from a typical “buy-a-team and disappear” break room.
Departure Breaks is a consistent, day-to-day breaking group where people hang out the way they’d hang out at a local card shop -- except it’s online, always active, and full of familiar names.
​
We talk:
-
Baseball (prospects, call-ups, lineups, hobby news, Bowman season, all of it)
-
The hobby (ripping, collecting, grading, releases, value, trades)
-
MLB The Show 26
-
Fantasy baseball (we run two leagues!)
-
And plenty of non-baseball life stuff, because that’s what happens when customers turn into real friends.
​​
It's like a digital bar: regulars, good conversations, and always something going on.
How Breaks Work Here
​
1) You join a break
You’ll see the break format up front (pick your team, random team, etc.), and I run the stream. We open the box, and all cards belonging to your assigned team go to you.
​
2) I sort everything into your personal file
After every break, I sort your cards into a dedicated customer file/stack. Your cards are organized and kept safe until you’re ready.
​
3) Shipping is easy: flat $4.50 whenever you want
When you’re ready to ship (after one break or after building a stack), it’s a flat $4.50. No confusing tiers. No “gotcha” shipping. Just simple.
The Break Schedule
Most days, I run:
-
One lunch break at 1 pm ET
-
One evening break at 9 pm ET
It keeps things consistent, predictable, and easy to fit into real life. If a break doesn't fill before the break time, it just rolls over to the next day. All breaks rip within a max of three days from being posted.
Why People Stick Around
A lot of breaking today is transactional: you buy, you watch, you leave.
Departure Breaks is built more like a real hobby room:
-
Familiar faces
-
Ongoing conversations
-
Shared baseball obsession
-
A place where you can be new today and feel like a regular faster than you’d expect
If you’re looking for a group that’s baseball-forward, organized, and genuinely fun to hang out with, you’ll fit right in.
