Questions about 2002 Edizione Figurene World Cup Stickers and Packets

Greetings, I am new to soccer stickers & cards. I am looking to get boxes outside the production glut, which I have been told is pre-2006, depending on the product.

I found some 2002 ';Edizione" Japan-Korea 50 pack cello wrapped bundles out of Colombia. Poor centering, insanely bad distribution coupled with single photo action shots, high gloss fronts with clear photos and refreshingly little 'busy ness' on the fronts make these much more interesting than any of the Panini sets after '78, IMO. Zidane, a double card, and an unopened pack pictured herewith.

Before 'unbuckling' for a few hundred, I attempted to research them and found nothing, in English anyway. A few things give me pause, only two sellers domestically have sets or lots for sale, but, at least two Colombian-based sellers have shown up with these bundles and the sold numbers are stacking up. Second, the ink on the backs are weak, and all of the FIFA trademarks cluttering the stickers after 1998 are missing, like not a single trademark included on the front or back.

The packs opened like I would expect 20 year old paper packets would open, the paper was not crisp and the top sticker always stuck to the front off the packet..

I wrote the seller an 'I love these, this is not a refund attempt, I don't care if they are gradeable, etc., but can you direct anywhere with a checklist or other information on these....' message The interpreted response came off as gruff and aggressive, essentially telling me that because I received them I just need to go ahead and leave positive feedback.

I'm lost, I appreciate any information, advice, etc on these.
