What do you think of these pack? 70 Football

i think i've bought from this seller before and it was fine, but i don't love the look of the folds of the bottom left pack in the picture, too risky?

    That's the first thing I noticed too, was the folds and creases that don't look right. The packs actually don't look bad, the problem is you can't see any roller marks. It's so tough with just scans or pictures. I've learned the hard way and have opened my fair share of bad ones.

    I always look to see that there aren't lot's of creases which would indicated opening and then folding again. These don't look that bad except for the bottome right one. In my experience and buying tons of packs from BBCE most of the packs from that are wax aren't sealed all the way across.

    These look sealed all the way across. I can't see any roller marks, and there's almost a dirt line all the way around the seal.

    Sorry couldn't be more helpful but that's about all I can see from the scans IMO.

    Ask him for scans from the edge of the packs so you can more clearly see the corner fold lines.

    I always want to see the pack in my hands. Better off buying it PSA slabbed knowing Steve looked at it or buy directly from him. The roller marks are in one direction about 1 1/2 inch wide, long side to long side. This article may help. Doug
