About Real Sportscards – Group Breaks
About Real Sportscards Group Breaks – Now LIVE on Uncommon!
Real Sportscards has an inclusive and trusted community, giving you access to the hottest products with the largest volume of scheduled breaks every day & night (excluding some holidays). Join our community and get in on a break via UNCOMMON APP – our new breaking platform designed exclusively for breaking and with the collector in mind.
Real Sportscards was established in 2016 with three goals: (1) To create a family-friendly community where we can enjoy our hobby with our kids, significant others, friends, and others we love. (2) To break at scheduled times so you can plan around your other commitments and never miss a live event. (3) To make it easy for collectors to get “back into” the hobby by introducing and educating on new products and the current hobby landscape – and to introduce new collectors to the hobby and educate them on all the ways to collect!
Meet Our Breakers
Ryan Holland
Owner
Ryan’s first collecting experience was with 1987 Topps, the same year his beloved Minnesota Twins won their first World Series. He left a career in sales & marketing to co-found Real Breaks so he could travel less and spend more time with his family. He lives in Minnesota with his wife Laura and daughter Amberle.
Titus Bishop
Break Host/Social Media Manager
Titus grew up ditching elementary school to chase autographs with his dad at Minnesota Twins day games. He went on to play collegiate baseball and golf while studying Marketing and earning an MBA. His dad gave Ryan his first set of baseball cards which eventually led to the creation of Real Breaks. He lives in Minnesota with his wife Estee.
