hot packs on ebay
There are lots of those hot or guaranteed auto or gu'd packs on ebay. Has anyone here bought them? If so, have any of you had any success with pulling big cards from there or are there just crappy auto or gu cards in there that the seller just puts in there and re-seals the packs? Thanks.

I think you'll find the consensus here is, don't waste your time & money on those. Here's a link to a similar thread.

Just buy the autographs or game used off of eBay if that's what you want. I mean you can get them for basically nothing so I don't see why you need to pull them from a pack.Selling all my cards here updated as of June------------> Hidden Content

How in the heck would know if it was a hot pack?
Just supposing there was some MAGIC way of knowing it was a hot pack, why in the world would that person not open it themselves?
If it sounds too good to be true it usually is!

The sellers rid themselves of crappy cards that wouldn't sell for a buck and they get rich because people pay up to $15 a pack because they think they are going to pull some rare card.

These guys all nailed it for you. Yes, there is an auto or gu in the packs, however 99.9% of the time it's a resealed pack. Think about it this way, what if you could buy the "bad" cut signatures from SP Legendary cuts this year. The "cheap" ones sell for $65-85. However the guaranteed packs sell for 120-180. Not a bad deal. Oh and when you see the feedback that says "Pulled a $1200 Lebron Auto, I can't believe it". They are lying, and are probably a friend of the seller.

I tried this once with an auto pack and I pulled a Miguel Cabrera auto #/50 from leather and Lumber so they are at least not all bad.
I just happened to take a chance and come out on top I am sure tho.
I do not think I would do it again.

I actually purchased a couple different ones over a year ago and pulled a $50 Vick GU. The other pulls were junk. I would definitely stay away from them.
