That box looks pretty good IMO. I mixed them up with Legacysportsrarities when talking about the company - I have never done business with this group.

edit: made mistake on who seller is

Doesn't look searched, but if you email the seller and ask him how many cards are in the box, and he tells you, then you know it's searched. When you get the box, if the cards are not impossible to put back in the box after you remove them, then it's searched. Good luck.

Edited to add: Don't know the seller. Pet peeve #5,649: If you're going to take the time to post a scan of the box open, why not lift the tabs and show the whole box so the buyer can see how full it is?

I have seen it happen before - old vending boxes sold as unsearch that were searched, but not by the seller. In fact, not by anyone for many years. Thus no one knows that it was searched. If you ask them how many cards are in there, everyones going to say 500, even the scam artists, so that is not really a good way to tell.

If some one searched the box in 1976, and then repacked it, it would still likely be a good deal. You are getting 500 like new cards and they might not have know which cards to pull then anyways. I have bought 1983-1986 vending boxes that were "searched" but the cards that are now considered "key" were still there.

Additionally, for the unscrupulous, there are ways to repack the boxes to get the pattern right and to fit all the cards back in too. Get something cheap like 86 topps and try it and see if people think its searched or not
