Yesterday my wife bought me a Hidden Treasure box. I didn't expect much and for good reason. But it was thoughtful of her. That was the only good thing about it. In there I found resealed packs of Topps that did not include all the cards. Also, some of the cards were written on. It was horrible! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

    That is odd .
    At one of our local memorabilia stores they hold a game called pack attack .
    You purchase packs of cards along with about 20 other people in the store , as many as want to participate .
    One of the store people will ask you to go through all of your cards and tell him, who has a card with the most wins , or the most losses, or the tallest player or whatever and if you have the card/cards in your hand , you win a prize , many different prizes .
    Well one of the prizes was a tri star hidden treasures for the grand prize .
    The guy that one the grand prize won an autographed baseball .
    I forgot who signed the ball , If I remember correctly I think it was a Nolan Ryan HOF Baseball .
    That really sucks you guys got burned , But I'm sure it didn't happen at the factory right ?
    I really think something has to be done about all this resealing of boxes and packs and all this smoke and mirrors/hocus pocus kind of stuff we hear about all the time , but what can be done? , if someone is that intent on scamming , they will always find a new way to do it , no matter what .

    << <i>is GARY the president of Tristar Hidden Treasures? >>



    He's not just the president, but also a client!
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Including a written on card in a resealed pack is stupid, Darwin awards stupid.

    I go scuba diving in a bay where alot of crabbers drop crab pots off boats. Well of course I raided the crab pots on occasion, whos going to see me 60' down. Anyway, once I had the bright idea that it would be funny to put an old coke can I found at the bottom inside a crab pot after I raided it.

    Well the fisherman pulled up the pot before I made it to shore or had any idea he knew and almost got hit by his boat, and my butt kicked once I did come up. That was 7 years ago, and coincidentally, the last time I raided a crab pot.

    Well, at least your instincts were right--- that was pretty funny.

    Yea, I don't know why Boopotts continues to use as his avatar that photo of Don West.

    It's not Don West. It's some religious scheister they call Pastor Ted. And yeah, I really can't wait until the next icon upload day.

    You're right, I shouldn't have put Don West in the same category as that molester.
