I think the funniest(and saddest) thing I saw was a picture off the Upper Deck Facebook page. Somebody took a picture of some guy sitting on the floor at a Target surrounded by packs on the floor. He was searching every pack, he even had a pack in his hands searching it. That? Ridiculous and sad. I'd rather be fishing instead of sitting on a floor searching packs in a public place. 

No one so far has mentioned the WORST card thieves in retail stores yet!

A few years ago while Christmas shopping with my sister, I bought a blaster at Target. Since I wasn't driving, I started opening it as soon as we got in her car. I noticed a slit in the plastic wrap but assumed that it came from the stocker opening the case of boxes. When I opened the 1st pack, there were a bunch of late-80's and early-90's base cards in the pack!!! This was a blaster box of a new product! We immediately pulled back in the Target parking lot and I went to Customer Service. Someone had bought the blaster, took it home and removed all the cards. They replaced the cards with old base cards, re-sealed the foil packs with glue and took the blaster back to Target to get their money back!!! Since my receipt was in the last few minutes, they let me get a new blaster box to replace that one. But THAT is the DIRTIEST thing I have EVER seen in collecting cards!!! It hasn't happened to me since then, but I also make sure that the shrink wrap is completely sealed around the box now. As much as I hate the pack-searchers ruining the hobby for kids, what happened that day is by far the most criminal thing I can imagine when it comes to cards.

Agreed. That's Louisiana swamp dirty. I'm glad you opened them then and not Christmas morning! 

Wow, that is crazy Spaz, that has got to top the cake.  It boggles my mind to think anyone can even think like that.  But I guess if people do it with televisions, they can do it with cards. 

Hey, I have A ton of chiefs cards to trade, anyone specific you looking for? I collect Favre, especially looking for his Police set cards.earl
