Breaker (Thronesportscards) on Whatnot, pulls 1/1 Bobby Witt & does NOT send it
 
Apparently the breaker: [B][SIZE="4"]thronesportscards[/SIZE][/B]

Pulls a Bobby Witt Jr 1/1 and does NOT send it to the buyer. He does send the rest of the Royals pulled in the break...just not the 1/1. The breaker gives some nonsense about it being lost in the mail. The reddit thread is insane.

Thronesportscards starts banning anyone that mentions it on his breaking sessions etc. He also muted "Bobby Witt" on his stream so it can't be mentioned. Tons of people on the baseball group on reddit get banned. His IG and TikTok accounts go private. And breakers wonder why they get so much hate.

Breakers doing shady things, color me shocked

Do we know which 1/1 it was specifically? I wonder how long he’ll wait before he has someone sell it for him.

If it's actually a Panini and not even a big 1/1, I'm a bit surprised the breaker stole it. Putting all scruples aside, that's quite a risk to take for a very mediocre reward.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Expect to see more of these shenanigans from breakers as they all go bust.

Heck, yes!

Keep maybe three around who have legitimate shops and have been doing it for a decade or more.

What payment platform does Whatnot use?

Shekels, which go directly into Kenny G.'s 9-figure bank account.

Funny how only 1/1’s seem to get lost in the Mail …

I think people are rushing to judgement a little too quickly here. It's a 1/1 jersey card from Chronicles, not exactly the type of card worth risking your reputation over. This breaker also happens to be a well-known collector with a high-end collection and from everything I gather, a lot of people who would vouch for him. He posted the full convo he had with the buyer to his facebook group and from my perspective it looks like he is handling it exactly how he should be. Unfortunate, but it really seems like people are making mountains out of mole hills with this one.

I see they are "private" on IG. Not sure if thats due to recent events or if they always have been that way, but why would a breaker be private? That's really rare.

seemed like buyer was demanding $1500 compensation or something for the card value. If it was a chronicles card and that's true I would actually think its more likely buyer is scamming then the breaker in this case (or just actual random accident), assuming breaker does reasonable volume.
