Thanks for all the info, guys.
The more the better. I didn't understand how people were selling these "hot packs" on eBay.
IT basically seems like you have to trust the buyer. It's odd.

You have to trust the seller, and to be honest when it comes to "unopened" packs I DON'T. I refuse to buy unopened packs from anyone but the mods here at SCF.

Actually if you look at the packs, 9 times out of 10 they are retail packs. The idiots who sell them just go to walmart or target or wherever and search the packs and get the gu/auto packs and sell them on ebay for a profit. They are almost never opened and resealed. Thats too hard to do. So basically the packs are what they say they are. I just won't buy them becuase I don't support pack searching. But if you just buy boxes to get the one auto pack or whatever, go for it. Its a heck of a lot cheaper to buy the one pack out of the box that has the auto. Topps chrome football and bowman chrome baseball would probably be solid investments becuase autos fall only one per hobby box. You can still get refractors in the full boxes, but if autos are what you are after, go for it.
