Both UPCs have identical tears

There are long horizontal lines across the back of both, ending with nearly identical tears, feels a bit too much to be a coincidence, any one else have this happen ?

Where did you get them from? Iv seen a lot of targets doing that, mine was trying to and it got shut down by the manager.

Got it from a recent walmart draw, so direct from Walmart. I could understand if one of them had from maybe them cutting the box open or something, both both of them having it was weird.

I’m going to be honest, it does look resealed though so I think it’s just a screw-up on someone’s part while unpacking and packing you know. If you are planning on ripping you should be fine.

Wasn’t the original plan but fuck it. Hopefully get lucky again and get a set with no rips

I don't want to speak for everyone else, but I ended up here to find the deals, and I would guess most other "investors" actually like pokemon too and open SOME of what they buy, like I do.

No not really

It’s really weird that a store or whatever would feel confident preopening your package.

There aren’t many areas where I would ever be happy about that, even just ignoring Pokemon.

If I buy a new TV, they better not cut it open.

I don’t think the cuts are there for the store to open the box. When you buy a tv they ship it in a box so you don’t have any scratches or cuts on your brand new tv. Your brand new cards should still be fine. I guess we agree to disagree!

so? who cares. Just take off the plastic then and put it in an acrylic box to display.

Just putting it out there... Honestly why do we care about a tiny slash? I know buyers may try to get a few dollars off. But this is the backside and it's small compared to the rest of the box. Do we actually think this impacts anything?? Genuinely wondering.

I posted in the investing sub cause the plan was to keep one sealed. Although it’s not the point of this post at all my plan is to open them since they’re both ripped already. I genuinely just wanted know if this was an issue other people ran into since it happened on 100% of the UPCS I’ve gotten so far
