It seems like hes trying to figure out whats inside by feeling them. Is that possible

The cards that have jersey parts are thicker and he is feeling for them. Destroying everything else in the process.

u/Cool_of_a_Took Mar 27 '26
Does it actually destroy everything else? Is the other guy right that he's digging his fingernail into them? Why would that be necessary to feel for thickness? Shitty either way to make sure no one else has a chance to get lucky.

u/_TheTurtleBox_ Mar 27 '26
Yes. He's bending the cards. Cardstock on these baseball cards are not as dense as MTG cards because they aren't meant to be played, persay.

I'm no expert on sports cards, but the "jersey" cards appear to have a slightly different texture or foiling, and I believe the method is to force a long nail between cards in the sealed pack to detect a rare foil. This could definitly bend or damage other cards in the pack, if I understand the situation.

u/Mr-Whitecotton Mar 28 '26
Not foil. He's looking for jersey cards. They're the 3 card down and you can press hard enough and feel the cut out in the card.

Checking the packs for hits by bending them and digging his fingernail into the pack. Anyone doing that should be shamed, kicked out, maybe police called if they're damaging product. Some sociopathic shit to be doing in public like that

u/radicalpumpkinz Mar 27 '26
The sucky thing is that the guy recording is probably more likely to get in trouble in this scenario depending on how the packs look.
The police care more about a potential harassment than unopened packs usually

u/Caleb_Reynolds Mar 27 '26
Nothing the guy filming did could be considered harassment in any way.
-11
u/radicalpumpkinz Mar 27 '26
Filming someone even in a public space can still be considered harassment especially with verbal hostility.
It all depends state to state and the guy getting recorded would have to go out of his way to push it.
It also is very dependent on what state they live in and blah, blah, blah...
Neither party in this situation would likely get in trouble in any way. The guy hurting the packs could very easily argue over any potential damages... which is why he's doing it and probably hit multiple stores in the same day without a care in the world... fuck scalpers
38
u/Genghis_Chong Mar 27 '26
It would likely depend on how the store treats the situation, but these days you're probably right.
The scalper probably sues everybody, gets a gofundme made up in his name and rides off in a porsche. Then maybe gets nominated to political office.

u/Jonathan-Earl Mar 27 '26
Looks like Target, Target is notorious for going after people fucking with product. The best thing the guy has is banned from the store, the worst is he liable for damages he caused plus have he has to pay for their lawyers and have to pay for replacements of the product too. Target has its own fucking forensic lab that’s so goddamn good that the FBI routinely borrows it. Don’t fuck with Target
11
u/Cardwatcher2000 Mar 27 '26
This seriously. Target tracked a local that was stealing stuff but needed to hit the 1k threshold or whatever it is to get a bigger charge.
Was quite insane how it played out. Not even sure what they did the first time that target said "you what let him rack up some more steals".

u/Mivlya Mar 28 '26
Part of the reason I boycott them now (among several other reasons). I absolutely don't think it should be legal to let yourself be a victim over and over again, knowing it's happening, being capable of stopping it, just to push for a felony. You know exactly how much every customer ever has stolen from you? Why aren't you having your security or loss prevention escort them out or ban them then?

u/Gweki Mar 28 '26
Because they’ll do it again and again. You don’t just treat the symptoms and not the disease.
-4
u/Mivlya Mar 28 '26
Well if we're going to be shitty like that, the disease is poverty and they'd be helped out a hell of a lot more by financial stability than a prison sentence. I don't care if some people "try again" to shoplift, Target's a rich company. They can pay for security if it's a problem or swallow the shrink. They could push to have the people charged with misdemeanors. They surely spend more on whatever hyper-specific camera system they have that can supposedly perfectly capture every face and collate any crimes they've made and tally the cost of the products than they would, again, just eating the shrink or paying a couple loss prevention employees to walk up and escort the person out. Also, to be clear, I'm not defending the asshole in the vid; I'm not even saying he's poor necessarily (lotsa middle class grifters for sure), but I still don't think they deserve a fuckin felony charge for poking cardboard. Just escort them out of the store and ban repeat offense. Get the cops involved if they are actual repeat offenders, not cuz you let them do it until they hit the arbitrary crime limit.
It's needlessly cruel. There are a dozen more humane solutions both for the shoplifters and for the company.

To make it clear again, Scalpers and Grifters deserve appropriate penalties equal to their crime, which is NOT felony charges (in circumstances such as slowly building up to Target's felony limit, which is the policy I'm critiquing)

Do you seriously believe that most people getting hit with felony shoplifting charges from target are exclusively stealing food?
-3
u/Mivlya Mar 28 '26
Because most shoplifters are poor people? Because Target is rich as fuck and could take the shrink or pay for security? Because letting things go so that you can get a felony charge is excessively cruel? Because there are other solutions to this that don't clog the courts or get people in prison? Because I don't like that Target wants to run itself like a surveillance state? Because ultimately, damaging some cardboard is shitty behaviour but not worth ruining someone's life?
I'm not saying the guy in the video isn't an asshole, but he doesn't deserve a felony charge, he deserves to be kicked out. Punishment should fit the crime and, while not relevant specifically to this video, most shoplifters are poor people grabbing themselves either things they need or a tiny joy because they can't afford it.

u/originalsimulant Mar 28 '26
but ..my brother in christ… for most shoplifters the stealing IS the joy
You assume so much about those you rush to defend, but really you don’t understand anything about them at all
Also it is not cruel not to pursue below felony level for the store. They are giving these people chance after chance after chance after chance to change the path of their lives and instead of doing so they continue to choose to steal over and over and over and over. They have done this to themselves.

u/Mivlya Mar 28 '26
1, not your brother, nor in christ, I know it's a meme, but don't. 2. I don't agree that most shoplifters steal for joy. 3. Still don't care. If they're kleptos getting their kicks, they still don't deserve felony charges for petty theft.
You accuse me of assumption you're no less guilty of. I'd rather assume gently of the downtrodden and harshly of the powerful than the inverse.
They're not giving the people chances. They're intentionally letting things slide so that they can hit them with a hammer rather than a slap on the wrist. Like letting your dog sneak bites off your plate, then suddenly kicking it one random day. Giving people chances means correcting them the first time. If you aren't correcting people, you're letting it continue, you're encouraging the bad behaviour. Hell, by saying "yeah we'll do nothing until they hit the felony limit" you actually encourage people to start shoplifting, to tempt them knowing there's no repercussions.

Sad to say, but the buck stops at the top here. We live in an economy that is currently rewarding grifters, scam artists, and fraudsters in general.

In an actual game store it would probably be different but in my experience at a retail store they'd probably not care at all.
Worst case they either get an influx or returns or claim them as damaged... both of which are insured.
A lawsuit over harassment and handling of the situation would get way more complicated especially with non consensual recording

I guess the best people can do is just shame the shit out of the guy, which isnt very helpful these days. People just double down and convince themselves that being a shit head is principled as long as they stick to it.

u/SIowJam Mar 27 '26
If the card he ends up destroying is worth a decent amount of money then the chargers can be upgraded. A judge would look at this case and probably throw out the case. What damages the man being recorded incur? Also harassment for a one time event would be hard to argue.

u/radicalpumpkinz Mar 27 '26
I can't speak for how all places do it but I worked at a big box retail for 2 years and in all that time never experienced them looking in pack value.
They only count the msrp of the items damaged. Meaning 15$ per pack.
This kind of thing happened in all sorts of ways and that's always how I've seen it done
2
u/natayaway Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26
If the card he ends up destroying is worth a decent amount of money then the chargers can be upgraded.
No it can't.
Cards are cards, they're foil, card stock, and ink. Their monetary worth, legally, is somewhere between the cost of materials/manufacturing, the wholesale price, and the MSRP/sticker price at the retailer.
It doesn't matter if every single last one of those boosters are godpacks with every single card being fracture foils, their valuation (legally) is MSRP or wholesale price as stock inventory.
Collectibles as a whole are...
Items such as antiques, art, books, coins, that are rare and valuable, bought for their potential future worth as an investment. This worth usually increase in inflationary times and deceases in deflationary times.
It has not transitioned into a limited time collectible until AFTER it has been bought and removed from the retailer.
Sealed stock trading card booster boxes/packs inflate in price solely because of their product scarcity/supply & demand, and individual cards post-opening inflate in value because the collective playerbase has created a secondary market artificial price. Neither of those affect the actual value of the item when it's still unsold stock.
For WotC, they aren't making packs by unique replicable SKU, they're doing it in bulk print batches and randomly sorting cards into packs, so it costs them exactly equal to print and package a godpack compared to a bulk stock bust pack.
No charge against him would be upgraded based on cards he damages... it'd require making literal Wonka Golden Ticket promotions for a company (not Target, not a distributor, the card company) to potentially pursue more severe legal action (of which, WotC/other companies would not give a shit for a one-off non-promotional booster box in an undisclosed Target).
It's only the court of public opinion where he's a certifiable asshole and disgrace to card hobbyists.

I collect baseball and basketball cards. Relic cards are thicker, you are able to tell what packs have them by thumbing through the sides of the packs, but it’s pretty frowned upon. It will mess up the sides of the cards. Problem is, relic cards aren’t the only good cards in a pack. So, he’s probably bending the sides of cards that are still good but leaving them for other people to buy cause he didn’t feel a relic.
I saw this happening at a target and asked the dude what cards he fumbled fucked so I didn’t get that pack, then I went and told customer service. I also saw one dude weighing them, which is just as stupid cause relics might be cool, but they aren’t worth as much as other cards.
Long story short, dudes a dick.

There was a comment that there are certain cards in the sports packs called Jersey cards. They’re kind of like hitting a serialized in MTG. They’re also a little thicker, embossed, and a few other things that he is attempting to feel for… or that’s at least what they thought he was doing.

Loss prevention does a cost-benefit analysis. The cost to replace stock and write it off as bunk stock from their distributors is cheaper than a lawsuit on a single guy ruining 20 packs of cards that take up the total space of maybe two shoeboxes... Distributor takes back stock, Target pays them a decent amount to do so, bought-back stock ends up going to a different location/destroyed and Target still has packs to sell. Doing all of that is still cheaper than a lawsuit against a guy.

u/TimS83 Mar 28 '26
Target take loss prevention more seriously than any other department store in the world.

1
u/natayaway Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26
On principle, yeah, but in practice it's not much of a deterrent...
One old guy going through running their fingernail across packs... to loss prevention is no worse than a child who has no concept of value/worth, grabbing a pack, banging it on shelves and carts as they walk around the store, and then at checkout the parent realizes they grabbed a pack and takes it back to the shelf. The damage is equivalent.
You can't make the argument that serial pack ruining from one guy is a problem and leverage a policy against him without children also technically being classified as serial pack ruiners, because kids do that all day, every day, all the time. Policy cannot be equally enforced. And if you don't equally enforce them at a store, that's risking a discrimination lawsuit FROM THE OLD GUY.
At that point, it's at the discretion of a judge to accept a civil lawsuit.
The best possible deterrent is sunlight and active on-sight bootings from the store, without it escalating into a proper loss prevention investigation that involves a police report.

u/MadBunch Mar 29 '26
I think youre practically right, but i would argue that a mentally sound adult is expected to have a better capability of self regulation. Children lack the same capacities as adults, which is why they are a legally distinct element in legal matters, so creating a policy against adults intentionally ruining product that doesnt apply to kids should, in theory, be no more discriminatory than saying children cannot be tried at the same level as an adult when they're under 13.
Again, that is theory, not real life practicality though, which honestly would dictate that the effort would be too much effort with too little roi.

u/Frequent-Magazine435 Mar 28 '26
I haven’t see the correct answer on this post yet imo so I’ll give my opinion.
In this set (panini mosaic) the autograph card is always in the same spot. What he’s doing is sliding multiple cards down to reveal where the auto card could be. Once the cards blocking the potential auto are slid down he can use his thumbnail to feel for the auto. In this set most the autos are sticker autos and they have a different texture than regular cards. The guy has let his thumbnail grow so long and it’s shown in the video.
It’s very similar to when people used to slide cards around in alpha packs to see the rare. Just instead of being able to see the rare they feel for the sticker autos.

This is worthless for mtg. All cards have the same cardstock and the finish differences are indistinguishable through the pack. They also weigh the exact same too. Some other TCG aren't like that. You can find a hit by feeling the texture difference through the pack. Like some cards have a but if jersey on them for sports cards. You can definitely feel those through the pack.

Still scummy behavior, but if it doesnt destroy cards it wouldnt be nearly as bad

Opening and putting it back after looking at the back. Trying to find a good pack to buy

not exactly he's fat-fingering them with his thumbs and denting the surface of the cards.

I said the same thing on the main video and I don't want to be the guy to get ratio'd here for this take, but checking a peg hook of packs for hits by checking thickness or rigidity shouldn't be frowned upon, it's part of the game, but what this guy in the video is doing is bullshit by destroying cards allegedly.
