A good way to stop pack searchers at stores

My wife bought me some football cards the other day and the first pack I picked up was hard as a rock and I thought "Cool an insert all ready". What I thought was an insert was a hard piece of plastic placed between the cards.

Not every pack had the plastic insert, some did, some did not. If the cards companies would place these plastic inserts randomly in the packs, searchers would probably be detered.

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    A couple of years Topps used extra thick checklists in Heritage to match the thickness of GU and relic cards. Thus the searcher winds of with a checklist alot of the time. This year there are no thick checklist but you just don't get as many cards in a pack that has a GU or relic. So, at least with my first retail case ..... ALL the packs have felt the same.

  • I think it was 05 heritage that not only had an extra checklist, but it was a thicker than the normal ones to emulate an insert card.

    easiest way would be to put them behind a counter.

    I'm thinking my wife told me that if they see people screwing with the cards they are told to stop.
