2008 Legendary Cuts Packs

craig19 · August 8, 2008 5:57PM

I purchased a lot of (3) packs on EBAY that were guaranteed "HOT" packs, which are advertized to definitely include a JERSEY or AUTO card. Do the dealers know this because the packs are thicker?

Further more, yes each did include a jersey card, but no autos. Is there a thickness difference between the jersey card and the auto card? If so, the dealer would have known I was getting jerseys, correct?

Thirdly, the base cards in the (3) packs were basically all dupes. In 3 packs, I got (3) Abreau's, (2) Lackey's, and (2) Iwamura's.

Do I have any recourse with the seller for "searched" packs? He obviously did not look through the cards, but is thre any chance he would have sent a pack with an AUTO? If he knew they only had jersey cards, isn't it kind of "searching"?

Hey, he advertised searched packs, you bought searched packs. What's the problem?

A lot of people will consider buying searched packs the same as being a "searcher". Not a good thing. No sympathy here...

You need to change your title to:
"I helped a criminal"

BEST case these were searched and weighed.

WORST case these were resealed packs.

PLease don't procreate.

Thanks,

What recourse do you want? No one is this dense. Is this a spoof thread?

Who's more unethical, the searcher or the searcher who searches the searcher?

I don't know why you guys are piling on. All the OP wanted was some searched packs that were unsearched.

MuckyMutt · August 8, 2008 11:03PM

Actually, I think they should fight it out.

As they say in west Texas, "It's like watching a fight between your mother-in-law and a wild cat. You don't give a hoot who wins or loses."

Because that's what the board does. We either pile on or pick sides...

+1 for piling on!!

All the necessary comments have been covered. He knew there would be a jsy. There are ways to tell.

I am way too sober for comments like this...

The searcher of the searcher who is searching for unsearched packs, should expect to receive unsearched packs that have been searched by the aforementioned searcher and not theoretically unsearched.

Huh? You confused Jorge

Go to Wal-Mart and look above the blaster boxes at the pack vending display. Ever notice that EVERY card in there seems to have been "felt up"? Thats why. It only takes a little common sense to be able to figure it out. The people who do that are unbelieveable scum of the earth, whats worse is Wal Mart does nothing about it because they know some innocent 9 year old will come in thinking they have a chance to pull something neat and buy the pack anyway.

Some of the newer packs, like A&G have the middle "nothing" insert to throw off these clowns

Most retailers have no incentive to stop searchers. The contract Wal-Mart has with the card supplier is they put the cards in the stores and only when the item is scanned at the checkout is Wal-Mart billed for it. Coke, Pepsi, the bread companies, Hallmark all have this ame agreement with Wal-Mart.

Never knew this but makes sense.

I used to work for Flowers Bakery and helped deliver bread to a couple of Wal-Marts. I always thought it was funny we could walk in grab a few loaves and leave and nothing be set and could bring in items without being checked in. So I asked and found out that pretty much all the companies who have their own people working the shelves in Wal-Mart are on this arrangement. I know Beckett Associates has the local sports card contract.

If a seller has enough acumen to find "hot packs" and lacks enough morals to sell them as such, I would be inclined to bet against anyone getting a high dollar hit from them.
