pack searchers

What do you mean when you talk about retail pack searchers?

Well its a subject that people don't like to talk about here, but there are ways that people can go into a retail store, "feel" all the packs and know which ones have the hits in them and which ones don't and leave all the other packs for the other customers and they don't have a chance to get anything good. Or sometimes they buy packs, take out the good cards, reseal the packs up with an iron or some sort and return them to the store and get his for free

how do you feel an auto? what about the pack filler - doesn't this hide it?

is it only lose packs or blasters?

[powell7db]

i have no idea how they do it, and yes they do it to loose packs and blasters

theres a weasel that i see at the local flea market that brags every weekend bout what he got all week feelin packs. he has a whole two sided box with g/u and autos in penny sleeves all of the time(not even adding the better cards he pulls are in another box). it's crazy though, they can feel the topps stickers on the back of autos so no "hits" are safe. he can even feel through the single packs that are sealed in a cardboard/blister pack for autos and game used.

i know a guy that does this, he wastes all of the money on cheap GU and autos.

i don't get it - still - lets say the auto is three cards deep - how do you feel that sticker?

[tikitomoka]

there's a way to do it that they feel the sticker or the sticker on the back, not exactly sure how but ive seen it done before

it has something to do with having sensitive fingers or something. there are two guys in the area that i know of that are flawless at it. i dont get it either. i've tried to put an auto back in a pack after pulling it knowing its i there and i still cant find it
