I heard there is a way to till what wax boxs have the good rookies can you really tell or is this just some lie? Also just saying if you buy an 1984 topps wax box can the person open the back and packs take out the best cards and reseal them?

That is why you buy wax from reputable sources. And yes many packs are sequenced especially fleer packs. In 1989 if you found a rack with Chris Sabo on top you had a Ripken error.

In Topps the big hit in boxes usually appears in the same pack in every box.

Your serious?

Are you guys just messin' with me?

i've heard recent studies indicate that DNA testing on gum from vintage wax packs will tell you whether or not the sugar was manufactured in a government-owned and operated mill on the Hawaiian Islands or is just a cheap artificial substitute made in a lab in the City of Industry or France, thereby further complicating matters and allowing attornies and forensic technicians an opportunity to grab a hard-earned check.

Wax packs can be easily resealed and cello as well. Rack packs are usually made.

Packs can be searched for hits as well. Many different ways for various hits.

Collation patterns- These are present in many 1980's era packs from different manufacturers. These allow the person to know what is most likely inside the pack. Although certain releases I have found, have more than one collation pattern, it is a good way for people to get an unfair edge. In the 1980's these patterns were widely spread and for awhile many posted ads in Beckett with these "secrets" for sale for around $3.

Switch out the plain GU Jersey swatch and replace it with a multi color one.

Erase the bubbled auto on the Chrome card and re auto it.

Older Allen Ginter Rip cards were searchable.

Counterfeits and Reprints aged.

Backdoored cards that some will alter to appear legit (I just bought 20 Red 1/1 cards of the same player, same issue, unstamped) !

Company liquidation cards (Fleer Legacy) with autos (Pujols) added on by a scammer.

Chrome "Proofs" (Just a altered Chrome card)

Graded card crackout and switch

Fake Graded holders (flips)

This list could on longer..........
