    Never searched packs, but I did go on a murder spree...



    Good for you.

    Same here. Not trying to be a saint but I worked at a card shop in the 90's and never searched the packs. Seemed sleezy.
  • Hmm. How would you feel taking your son to buy packs waiting for that look in his eyes of getting that rookie or his favorite player and yet every single pack having already been searched, picked and never was going to happen?



    Cant believe there are still adult males searching packs at walmart target then racing to the nearest other target to repeat. Sad. But thats just me.



    People in an uproar about wrong misplaced topic, pics of wrigley on the card forum or selling on the wrong forum but yet this has reached 3 pages of celebration so far.



    Oh, I love charging people for an oil change and we don't even unscrew the pan. Just lean against the car for 10 minutes joking, laughing. Jokes on them.

    Instead of replacing their flat we just patch it. Hope they don't go over 60 MPH. Ha. I know apples and oranges. But still seems dishonest.

    Well, I don't plan on taking my son out to buy packs of cards so I guess that's something we won't have to worry about image

    Sigh.

    Not surprised that you have no problem with this. And that's your response. Your reputation has been established here.
  • I remember taking a trip to Minnesota with my Dad in 1986. The shop owner walked over and put out a new box of cellos and right on top was a pack with Doc Gooden on the front. I asked if it was more he said no. I think that was where my love of racks / cellos with stars on front came from. I couldn't believe it was the same price.
