How It Started

What began as one NBA star's love for the hobby has grown into one of the most exciting new breaking operations in the trading-card industry.

Founded by New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns alongside Danny Vallario, Big Bodegas Breaks launched on Fanatics Live in July 2026. The name comes straight from the Knicks locker room, where teammate Josh Hart first dubbed Towns “The Big Bodega.” Today, the team operates out of Jersey City, NJ.

Big Bodegas Breaks was built on New York energy for a reason: just like the corner bodega on your block, it's a place where everyone's welcome and the regulars feel like family.

The company made its mark from day one, debuting with a record-breaking Fanatics Live stream that opened 50+ cases of sealed product and handed out over $20,000 in giveaways to viewers. Just weeks later, Big Bodegas Breaks hosted a three-day live event on Fanatics Live: nonstop pack giveaways, big card openings, and a special-guest appearance from “The Big Bodega” himself, all built around a 100-case break on Topps Chrome Update NBA release day.

Today, Big Bodegas Breaks streams daily on Fanatics Live, bringing high-energy entertainment, premium product, and unforgettable pulls to collectors everywhere. Our growth is powered by that home on Fanatics Live: personality-driven streams, a crew of breakers who never let the energy drop, and a relentless focus on community. The Bodega is building more than a breaking business; it's building a destination for every collector in the space.
