GIVEAWAY #1 - (3) PRIZES! THE VIP BONUS

Between now and 10:00 PM EST. on June 11th, every $1,000 accumulated you spend gains you one entry into our first giveaway. If you spend $500 today and $500 tomorrow, you have one entry. If you spend $10,000 total, you have two entries, etc. There are NO limits to the amount of entries you can have! During our live steam on the 11th, we will randomize all of the entries on-screen and the top 3 will win:

  1. 1961Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 7
  2. $1,000 Break Credit to Vintage Breaks
  3. 2020 Bowman Sapphire Baseball Box

There is The Mick, bat on his shoulder, maybe looking out where he would hit one of his 536 career home runs. This beauty is graded PSA 7! The switch-hitting star won 7 World Series championships, made 20 All-Star games, earned 3 MVP awards, and was a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1974. The 1961 Yankees team won the World Series with Mantle and Roger Maris leading the way for what may be the greatest team of all-time. What better card than a '61 Topps to give away!

The $1,000 break credit for second place is good for ANY break on our site! If you love vintage cards, we have a 1933 Goudey set break including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig cards, or if you're a fan of modern, we have the newest releases from all sports. 

A 2020 Bowman Sapphire box could hold cards of Spencer Strider, Jordan Walker, Anthony Volpe, Adley Rutschman, Julio Rodriguez, and more young stars. Big question here - do you open or keep sealed? 

GIVEAWAY #2 - (5) PRIZES! BUY ANY SPOT

ANY spot you buy at Vintage Breaks now through June 11th at 10:00 PM EST. gets you one entry into the giveaway. ZERO limits to this giveaway- if you buy twice on the Vintage Breaks site, you are entered into the giveaway twice. Checkout 50 different times now through the end of the contest and you'll get 50 cracks at the prize list. We'll random all the entries live on the show and the top 5 win!

  1. 1959 Topps Mickey Mantle All-Star PSA 5

  3. $250 Break Credit to Vintage Breaks
  4. $100 Break Credit to Vintage Breaks
  5. $100 eBay store credit to Just Collect


Graded PSA 5, this Mantle All-Star card from 1959 looks sharp with the blue background! The AL symbol on top of the cutout image of The Mick is a great ouch. Luke Appling was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1964. A two-time batting champ (1936 and 1943), Appling has an impressive .310 career batting average! Below you can see how the red background of this 1934 Goudey really stands out in the black holder SGC provides.
