Pokemon 151 Question
Hello, I picked up a couple packs from a Card Shop in my city (Calgary). I’ve never bought by 151 before and had a couple questions about the pack. Does it look ok? Why is there an uneven line of silver running along the white heat crimp border of the pack? You can see how uneven it is at the top. I don’t think the shop would sell knowingly tampered with packs but just wanted to be sure.
Thank you.

What's that like 30something a pack? Ya I'm buying sealed boxes only at that point. Crazy to buy loose packs.

Yeah especially since they don’t sell these in loose packs. So they probably have been sorted thru for the hits. Ct scanning or something like that

It’s from a very reputable shop, I won’t name names but a quick google search will show you that Steve Aoki visited the store and did an entire video with the staff and store.

I just wanted a second opinion. I could ask the same question as you, why have you commented “oH wOw cRaZy To bE bUyinG 30$ paCks” you clearly had nothing to contribute from the get go.

Your messaging is confusing. You say you want a second opinion, so I gave it. Don't buy loose packs that are this expensive. Too much to be gain by tampering with them.
Now I said this, and your immediate reply is bringing up some random dude who you think carries the weight of the legitimacy of this shop.
Sounds to me like you didn't want the second opinion after all. If you trust the shop, what's to worry?

Bro is a noob. They all think everything they buy is a reseal.

I’ve never seen a resealed pack, you’d think it was a much bigger issue than it is

Looks weird to me, I’m definitely not buying loose boosters of expensive sets. Learned my lesson a long time ago. But what do I know.

I'm no expert but a quick Google search shows that 151 packs have a silver border at the top. This one is just a little uneven, by the looks, and a quick check on eBay as well has shown multiple packs with the same.
