    Question Boxes Off ebay???

    Is it safe to buy boxes of ebay?? I was think of purchasing a box of finest or some other boxes like reflections and stuff... Is there anything they can do to the boxes??? I am pretty sure there was a thread posted about this but I cant find it...

    Some people open them up and search and reseal or whatever... but I have had good luck with boxes off ebay. I have bought a few boxes of 04 Topps Chrome, and pulled nothing spectacular but I am building the set anyways so I didnt care. I got a Mattingly Jersey/Seat dual gu thing out of 2002 Authentix which booked 80 at the time (now i think its 40 or 50?), and out of 2004 Autographics I got a Pujols/Delmon Young dual auto. So, it is possible to do things to boxes but it has never happened to me in my experience.

    Hope this helps

    I've bought a bunch off Ebay and never had any problems. Just make sure the seller has a good reputation and that the boxes are factory sealed and you should be OK.

    Yea, I usually buy from the same people that I trust now.
    (e.x. waxpacks_cards, blowoutcards)

    Other than those, I pick and choose carefully. Or I wait until leftyshan has one going on :)

    Same here with no problems. Just make sure you are getting what is pictured because there are a few sellers that try to pawn off retail boxes as hobby boxes. Just make sure you read the listings carefully.

    Yeah I buy from ebay even more now because my local card shop who was owned by one of my best friends went out of business so I am buying alot more off ebay. I always buy 2 box lots from bigt36 and have had some great pulls, no problems, and quick shipping. Blowoutcards as mentioned is also a good seller. Just check out the buyers feedback before buying and make sure his reputation is good.
