    SPA Question

    Im just curious about this question just so i know for the future and dont get scammed.

    Is there a way for people to tell in spa which pack/packs actually have the jersey card or au card and not the thick UD space holder?

    I see on ebay every once in a while people selling 20 packs or 22 packs, have they already pulled the good stuff from the box? Should you ever trust packs on ebay?

    If you can tell then i think i will just stick to buying a box at the local store and not individual packs, or packs off ebay

    they actually are legit, USUALLY... and if you don't get the card they promise you can always file a paypal claim...

    I would highly recommend not buying them tho... when I was clueless, I bought a couple hot packs thinking I could get a nice patch or something... i got the packs, and I spent $25 on a Jon Kitna jsy and Garrett Wolfe jsy... usually not worth it...

    Stay away from the hot packs. Some are just reseals.

    The people that sell lots of hobby packs that aren't in a sealed box have already pulled the jerseys and autos and either kept them for themselves or sold them as hot packs...bunch of cheats

    Sealed box on e-bay is usually a safe bet though? Or you think i should just go to the local shop and pay the extra $20?

    eBay is always a gamble. I do buy quite a few boxes on there because that extra $20 is a big deal for me...and I have gotten some really nice cards. I would go with the more reputable sellers if you do shop on eBay, but it's the same in real life...you might go to a hobby shop with a creep owner who pulls the case hit then sells the rest of the boxes too...you never know what goes on behind closed doors whether it's on the internet or in real life. From my experience, the safest bet would be buying from cardsbythebox.com...Tony, the owner, is a member here and is a great, trustworthy guy, I've heard nothing but good things about his site.
