What Super Break Sports does
Super Break Sports, legally organized as Super Products Inc., is a privately held trading card company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Torrance, California. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes premium trading cards spanning four content pillars — entertainment/music celebrity memorabilia (Keepsake Spotlight Series), historical figures and original artifacts (Pieces of the Past), sports and pop culture (Supercharged Series), and licensed media properties (Invincible, Pokémon) — sold primarily under the Super Break, Keepsake, and Pieces of the Past brand families. Products incorporate proprietary manufacturing techniques including Laser Signagraph autograph cards, Lava Foil printing, and embedded gemstones and precious metals, with relic cards featuring authenticated artifacts sourced from celebrity estates, music archives, and historical collections.
The business operates on a hybrid go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer revenue flows through a Shopify storefront (superbreaksports.com) and a five-day-per-week WhatNot livestream channel used for online case breaking. A B2B dealer/wholesale program distributes product to hobby shops, case breakers, and retailers at approximately $2.75/pack, with retail SRPs typically running 2–3x wholesale. A recurring-revenue layer exists via monthly subscriptions — notably Pieces of the Past Monthly at $29.99/month and Super Glow/Keepsake Monthly — with a 10-subscription tier that converts subscribers to case-level shipments. Pricing on individual boxes ranges from $39.95 to $249.95 and on multi-box cases from $275 to $999.95, with premium curated bundles priced higher; many flagship SKUs show sold-out status on the storefront.
The company serves four customer segments: individual trading card collectors (primary), B2B hobby dealers and retailers, online case breakers acquiring inventory for livestream sales, and historical collectors subscribing to Pieces of the Past. Distribution is restricted to the lower 48 United States (no international shipping), and the operating geography is domestic-only. The company is founder/operator-led with no disclosed institutional investors, headcount, or financial reporting, and it depends on exclusive licensing relationships with parties including Amazon Prime (Invincible), Rolling Stone, Eric C. Caren's historical archive, and estates representing Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Lee, and The Walking Dead.

- The Pokémon Company International: The Pokémon Company owns the Pokémon TCG brand that Super Break distributes vintage and graded packs of via PokeStars. While a much larger incumbent, it is the underlying IP supplier for Super Break's Pokemon product line.
