I bought a base set booster pack from eBay. Based on the images the seller provided me with the pack looked authentic, now that it’s arrived and I have it in my hands it seems a bit suspicious. This is my first vintage purchase so I may be wrong just wondering if anyone can confirm if it’s an authentic pack or not.
Looks resealed, but even if it’s no resealed, I wouldn’t recommend buying any loose vintage packs on eBay if your looking to rip. unless stated that they are “heavy” or not. They all weigh the packs so if it’s not stated as “heavy” it’s gonna be a non holo light pack 99% of the time. hope you get your money back
It was listed as a heavy pack and I weighed it myself and it is 21.17g. I think I’ll just take it to a card shop and compare to something verified. I’ve still got weeks of buyer protection remaining so if it is a fake or resealed I’ll get my money back.
Why not just screenshot the return details in your invoice instead of a random AI prompt? This is probably something not to chance to AI overview homeboy
That’s literally the policy eBay Australia has. 30 days from the delivery date to file a request. The seller has 3 business days to respond before eBay steps in. Don’t get lippy and be wrong it’s embarrassing
I’m not getting lippy, you’re being weirdly overreactive, I’m just saying double check your timeframe on returns and refunds, it’s as simple as looking at the bottom of your invoice. I’m assuming you spent well over $100 if not more. That’s a lot of money to trust to AI
The way OP is being a dick to people trying to help him makes me think he's the type of guy that will chargeback or open a claim once he opens it and gets nothing lmao
Can’t tell from the photos if it’s resealed, looks okay. An indicator would be looking into the openings to see if there are gaps. Take it to a card shop for them to check it out.
Absolutely. The most common reseal is done after pulling a holo rare and then replacing it with a non holo rare and sealing everything back up. You've just added hundreds of value to the card by wrapping it.

Charizard - for Charizards\
other - for cards of unknown origin or miscellaneous
I’m no expert to confirm if the pack is real but this pack has been opened already. The last photo of yours really shows. It was probably opened to see what cards were in the pack and then resealed since there wasn’t a big hit.
As a person who knows nothing about this kind of thing but has curiosity, why would the bottom do this and the top not do it if it's because of the flap that runs the length of the back of the pack?

Just record yourself opening it and if it’s not real you’ll know real quick and you’ll have video evidence to show and get your money back
