It will be war during three days of this year's National Sports Collectors Convention.

Well ... box wars that is.

StarStock Breaks will host a 64-person box war tournament beginning on Thursday at the show and then things hit center stage at 10 a.m. on Friday before finishing at that same time on Saturday. Blowout Cards is the box provider for the event and spots will go on sale at StarStock.com/breaks at 3 p.m. today.

"Every round the winner will take all the cards from that round. The user who pulls the most-valuable card will be determined by the Market Movers website and will move on to the next round," read a StarStock announcement. "Spots for the break will cost $250 each and the rounds can be seen below."

Turf & Dirt Sports Cards

Location: Bellingham, Wash.
Website: www.turfanddirtsportscards.com

In their own words: "Turf & Dirt opened their shop to create the best environment possible for their community of sports card collectors. Jimmy Sears, Stacy Sears and their daughter, Emily, operate this shop as a small family business. Jimmy has been a collector since 1986 and has been in the business of sports cards for the last 10 years. The last five years, Jimmy helped run another card shop, but decided to open his own shop in October 2019. Turf & Dirt has built an active social-media presence but relies heavily on our local community to help create the environment of Turf & Dirt. The shop is attempting to do their part to help keep the hobby alive and strong during these times. When there are no sports to watch, why not rip some packs?"
