Baseball Cards, Charity, and Wax to Crack

Despite being a pastime that has seen its ups and downs, baseball card collecting has been rejuvenated among hobbyists over the past couple of years. With the emergence of premium products from companies like Topps and Panini, as well as strong rookies like Aaron Judge and Mike Trout, the market is alive as it has ever been. When it comes to collecting, there's many different avenues to pursue, but one of the most growing areas is through box breaks.

Enter Crackin Wax.

Over at Crackin Wax, Chris has designed a place for like-minded collectors to come together and both buy and discuss baseball cards. Being known for their charity case breaks, Crackin Wax is absolutely a community first type of environment. While box breaks offer an avenue to acquire cards without footing the entire bill for a product, the Crackin Wax team has also found a way to do good outside of the realm of baseball cards.

If you're unfamiliar with what a box or case break is, the concept is simple. Crackin Wax sells a specific product, and then offers spots for purchase. Whether dividing the item into 30 pick-your-team spots, or doing some other breakdown, the overall cost of the offering as a whole is significantly reduced. Opened live on camera, your purchase then awards you all of the baseball cards pulled for your specific entry. Thanks to their wonderful skunk protection, there's never a chance you'll go home empty handed.

Chris and his wife do a great job to foster a fun collecting environment, are baseball fans themselves, and do a lot of good around Twins Territory by way of the cardboard. Give them a look at CrackinWax.com
