Question For Card Shop Owners and Case Buyers

In most manufacturing, there are runs that are determined to be "production seconds."
Quality-control commands this practice.

Is there now or has there ever been - in the card manufacturing business - a known
practice that some of the production is rated as "seconds," and sold to retailers as
"seconds?"

Are there known markings on the cases/boxes that indicate the contents are "seconds?"

Thanx.

    Yes and they had a large black X on the boxes.

    Many were repacks, meaning boxes from many cases were used to make up a case.

    In some cases packs were moved around too.



    Some were full cases never opened, opened and each box given the X

    There is also something called mis-wraps. I had bought a case of 1987 rack packs back in 1987 that were mis-wrapped. In most cases the three separate compartments were not separated so they could not be sold the proper way.
