[Nyfancam01]

[Jstupsky]

Nice to see that some Targets still have Prizm basketball blasters. They have been sold out around here non-stop.

[Jstupsky]

Well if you need any let me know...can't guarantee they haven't been searched but I can pick some up for sure

You should've just stood awkwardly close to him, and pretended to investigate other packs at the same time...

[Jstupsky]

Lol!

That jacket is so wrinkled, he probably sleeps in it…..in his car.

[jbittma1]

Anyone else wondering what couch he tore up to make that $5 suit jacket?

[chfu3030]

Ya'll know that's his mom right???

[majestik101]

or in his van... down by the river.

[ainmon]

That's when you just walk up and pick up the pile of packs that he has made:)

Jay Cutler has hit rock bottom. Pack searching at Target.

[clocsta2323]

Is that the Target downtown? Looks like the nicollet mall location based on the picture

[timelovesahero]

this^ after i spoke to target manager and he says "yeah he's here every few days doing the same thing..." lol. it's a low-brow window of "opportunity"

[JEEP]

I don't understand what the big deal is. Is he stealing?

[ainmon]

I don't understand what the big deal is. Is he stealing?

He's only insuring that no one will get a hit out of any of those packs. How would you like going to buy cards and being guaranteed that you will not get an auto/jersey?

[JEEP]

Oh. I didn't know what he was doing. Thought he was opening stuff. Yeah that would stink. Do people at hobby shops do this?

[ainmon]

Depends on how reputable the shop is.

[JEEP]

Oh. There isn't any hobby shops up here anymore. I wonder what the guy in the picture is going to do with the cards? You think he lays on them naked and sticks his finger in his butt?

[crohrer]

Is that suit jacket crushed velvet?

[6celtics33]

Probably

[RollTribe]

I've never laughed at anything on Blowout so hard.

[YankeeRic]

I don't know why more manufacturers don't use decoy cards for instances like this. Have a card that's the same size/cut as a relic but is just totally blank.

[Hamfisted9]

Don't know if that would help. These guys have a way around everything. I don't think card companies can prevent this nor do I think they care. I collect baseball but my young kids collect football. I remember a time I was at Wal Mart with my kids to get them a few packs and there was a pack searcher. I told him he was ruining for people like my kids. He responded by telling me I was ruining it for my kids because I wasn't pack searching for them. I just gave up at that point.

[MotorboatJones]

The look on that lady's face is hysterical ! I like the idea of just walking over there, saying excuse me, and then swiping his little stack o packs and mixing up all the others that he is trying to fondle. Seriously, card companies could do more to thwart this. The more blaster and Solid fondle-free type packaging they use the better. I like the idea of including blank jersey cards with same look and feel, along with fake sticker cards that would have that sticker auto feel to one of these losers. Might not solve the problem, but making it harder for them to get away with this would certainly thrwart their efforts...

[hairysasquatch]

His shoes look very comfortable.

This guy is probably one of those people who enjoy rubbing themselves with little swatches of cloth worn by a sweaty Pablo Sandoval. Whatever floats your boat!

[NickM]

There are 2 pack searchers I have called out at my local Target. The management does not care.

[MarvinGardens]

Actually, if you look closely, his jacket is made from 24,658 Clint Frazier relic swatches that he has been collecting now for 3 years. It's obvious (the hair) that Clint is actually his illegitimate brother who wants nothing to do with him. This is the only way that he can have any connection to his brother....it's quite sad actually.

And the woman in the picture is actually a covert operative with the CIA looking for secret messages in Garbage Pail Kids packs.

JEEP,

There are a few hobby stores around the cities...Pals Sportscards in Anoka, Papa Hawks in Golden Valley, Three Stars in Roseville and a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head...

I love pablo!

Isn't this the comment that was used in the epic pack searcher thread?

[trask7]

Our local pack searcher shows up and helps the woman stick the shelves, then searches with her there.

[jlzinck]

Searcher is def a bottom

[Luke2411]

Our local searcher is friends with the guy who stocks at Wal-Mart and they stand there together and search the packs the second they are put out.

[oldgoldy97]

This thread is sure bringing out some usually quiet members.

[Slette]

Which Target is that?

There's a guy who sets up a the Bloomington show who I have caught searching a couple of times in Shoreview and Stillwater.

[chfu3030]

No clue bud... but I'm still laughing at it today.

I'm just visioning him foaming at the mouth when he list his "hot pack" on ebay.....

I feel so dirty any time I go to the card section at Target, which isn't often, by the way. I just feel like so many gross, pack-fondling people have been there. The only thing I ever get at Target, again, seldom, are blaster boxes.

[Steveefranchise]

As someone who wears a suit every day.... take your jacket off when you're driving. You'll look like a much less scrubby pack searcher.

[codered]

"Table for one please"

[Kmm1116]

Just FYI.. in all honesty did anyone ever think about the fact that some people have disabilities like autism.. or others that are hard to determine or notice right away? My son has autism and I would feel horrible if someone took pictures and put them on the internet like this.. just offering some thought to why people might be different

[BostonNut]

Huh..I've never heard of this...does anyone have any instructions on how to do this?

[jjas311]

Wow, you people are brutal. It's one thing to not agree with the actions of another human being, but way over the line to criticize the way someone looks, potential sexuality, mental capacity and physical appearance.

[duwal]

That's just how some are here. We don't even know if OP is telling the truth. He took a picture of some guy looking at a pack of cards and they want to assume that he's either poor or not living on his own, that he is homosexual.

what do you mean by "you people"


but in all seriousness, hes right

[Hamfisted9]

I agree. Plus, in all fairness, we are a bunch of grown men collecting pieces of cardboard with dudes on them. I don't think we are in a place e to poke fun :D

[Steveefranchise]

I stand by my jacket comment lol

If you don't want to buy retail - don't buy retail. And don't give me this "it's the only place within 100 miles to buy packs" shtick. BO sells packs and will drop them off at your front door.

People need to just get over this. Pack searchers aren't breaking any laws unless they are bending packs, which I've bought plenty of retail and never had a problem with damaged cards.

The dude who is just ripping open blasters and stealing packs at my Meijer however...that's effed up.

We have a guy who is buying retail, cutting open rack packs and resealing them with random cards in my area. I'll take a pack searcher over that piece of trash anyday

[Kmm1116]

I love the hypocrisy here.. honestly.. no one here would like leave the thick pack.. if you see ten regular packs and one thick pack you mean you would buy the thin because god forbid you get something good people will call you a pack searcher gimme a break get a life people.. like yea let me buy a pack that looks like it has all junk base cards in it.. I'm gona leave the mega hit for someone else.. besides like 98% of the hits from those packs are garbage anyway..

I think your hiding your deep dark secret by accusing people of your own wrong doings.. I think you are the grand mother of all pack searchers and you are selling out your own kind to cover your tracks.. BOOM.. now everyone knows... this thread is clean..

Well that certainly guarantees you won't pull anything. A guy today pulled a Trout all-star relic auto from one pack of update. And he just happened to grab that one out of a hundred?...Right.

This. Sucks.

[mjwoop]

his name is Blake. I went to college with him

Please tell me he's a member of these message boards.

[drsabaz]

So I am new to collecting again ( been out of the game for 20 years) Does this mean I shouldn't buy any packs from open boxes?

[Jesh]

Hobby stores I wouldn't worry about. Retail it's usually pretty easy to tell if they've been searched because most of these guys are too lazy to put the packs back. However when I bust retail it's usually more to chase rookies or refractors, stuff you can't search for

[Jazzer540]

Don't get what the problem is...

Pack searching is like dating...you have to fondle it for some time before you make a full commitment to spend money on it!

[edgeusaf1]

Jay Cutler has hit rock bottom. Pack searching at Target.

As a Bears fan, this made me LOL! Thanks for making my day, that was funny! I'm so glad Cutler will be gone!
