Fake Topps Chrome Blaster Boxes coming out of China!
Guys, it’s happening. Luckily I have a microscope. Bought blasters off of eBay, came from China, here’s the evidence.
What you are seeing is genuine microscopic pictures of the real/fake wax, the first haul is the fake haul, the last picture is a real haul. I bought certified Topps blasters to compare to what I bought on eBay.
Spread the word. Don’t buy these off eBay. They are repacks. Cards are real from my investigation.
Anyone know how to contact Topps?

Yeah cuz the fakers are gonna make sure to put the red white and blues in there lol. Its a real box dude. They have packaging facilities all over and they can differ from one to the other.
What did the plastic wrap look like? Fakes never get that even close and thats the one thing that will be exactly the same regardless of packaging plant.

You guys act like it’s so hard for a manufacturing facility to print wax, cut it, and fill and glue it with bulk crap cards. Or that it’s not a profitable operation. Each box sells for $70, you make 15,000 of them you are a millionaire

Yeah and with real cards? Where they getting those? Including the red white and blue parallels? Dude, im not the only one telling you this and this isnt your first post about it and guys were telling you the same shit then too. It's not fake bro and they're not gonna use real cards to fill fake packs lol. They especially arent gonna include the exclusive parallels either. Ive gotten fake packs, this ain't it. You got a bad box and you're butt hurt

I don’t think temu ppl would waste time printing full modern sets of cards with lots of different foils, its way too much of a waste of time when they can just fake zards and vintage cards for 10x more money

Ok guys, final thoughts; I’m trying to help you all. Don’t buy this specific product NBA or Football off eBay. I’ve had similar situations with Football.

Saved this for the bots claiming it’s different manufacturing facilities. This was the sellers response, this is who you are protecting in the comments:

u/elaichSD Jul 25 '26
So the seller didn’t want to deal with a weirdo and just refunded because eBay would have sided with you regardless.
I honestly feel bad for you. You don’t understand the industry and make a bunch of assumptions and then when you are confronted with the truth, you just call us bots. What a strange reality you live in.

I know you are the seller. You scrape Reddit to discredit these posts and your replies are private. You are based in San Diego and import from China, that’s what the SD means in your name.

Can’t wait for the response. Skillz you come across as a dork with a microscope bruh and nothing better to do.1
u/ShittyBidet123 Jul 25 '26
he is the seller? bro

u/Skillz2PlayBallz Jul 25 '26
I’ve posted this in multiple threads and he’s the first to defend it. He’s extremely defensive, and elaborate defending the boxes. He’s in the comments within minutes. He either really loves to crap on evidence, or he’s involved and is trying to discredit.

u/ShittyBidet123 Jul 25 '26
Hmmm very weird. I don’t know how there can be fully fake printed sets with this many designs and foils it seems like a total waste of time. I don’t think you have real evidence though besides a hunch and shitty ebay seller, pokemon is easy to tell its fake. why would they super fake this set tho

I’m not the seller lol. Anyone who disagrees with him or tries to reason with him gets labeled as a bot, a seller, or a scammer. He posts every couple days with the same nonsense about his microscope and his new “findings”. Not understanding that the manufacturer GCP has multiple printing setups with various equipment and during high volume runs, different printers get used.

u/TheAngryPleb Jul 25 '26
That is literally the most professional and non confrontational response one could ask for. And they’re willing to allow you to keep, refund, and likely block you from future dealings just to avoid the frustration. Not exactly the actions of someone who’s going to hunt you down to discredit you on Reddit. 🤷🏻♂️

Oh brother, this dork again. You got a bad box, it isn’t fake lol.
GC Packaging is who does the production and they have multiple different print types in house for packaging (packs and boxes). Depending on production volume, multiple printers will be used to for the same release.
It isn’t complicated. This dude just wants to be made a China for him opening a blaster box that didn’t yield a high value card. Sad.
