    Yes, I would like to know also. I have seen these all over ebay. Are they resealed or some kinda code on the outside?

    Resealed. These are always fake.

    If they are target/wally, etc. retail, they are not foil packs - they are white mylar. You can see the card numbers right through them. Since they are topps chrome, there are only 3 cards per pack, so it is certainly not hard to slide through 9 total cards if you really wanted to. I haven't bought any 2017 cards, but in past years the pink refractors are loaded in a clear baggie in the middle between the actual packs, so even easier to see.

    Here's an example of the kinds of negs these people get:

    I am pretty sure they are all resealed. Otherwise, how would they know? I can't see them doing it by weight?
