All fans who buy into a break must receive trading cards regardless of break format.
Sellers may not engage filler mechanisms of any kind.
Discounting and bundling is allowed but may be subject to additional requirements, and conditions.
Sellers may not cancel auctions and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet a desired sale price.
