Panini NBA Finals Promo Pack packing question need help

ebaycatdogoo · 06-20-2013, 08:42 PM

Got 10 packs in today from eBay. I didn't realize how easy these were to search. I noticed you could open up bottom flap. Every pack I got, the card basically come out when I opened flap. I understand some of the cards could get loose in there, but I don't think all of them would. The little slot that the cards sit in were all loose. For those who have opened these can you please tell how yours were packed so I can see what I need to do from here?

Thanks for your help.
Ryan

Sorry to hear Ryan, there were many threads warning this. I wouldn't trust any bought off eBay, way too easy to open the good ones and sell the ones that have junk. I don't know what you could do now, because the seller could think you'll do the same on a return.

Were any of yours like that?

ebaycatdogoo · 06-20-2013, 08:51 PM

I didn't know the bottom packing was like that. I thought people were just peeking in the top flap.

paul06901 · 06-20-2013, 08:55 PM

Yeah the tiny sticker seal doesn't cover the flap, it's to one side of it. So if you pulled the flap out and tilted to the non-sticker side, the card would slide right out without breaking the seal. ALL of mine were like this, I believe everyone else's were too.

My cards didn't come out the top. If you open the side of the box(with no seal) the cards would just slide out.

ebaycatdogoo · 06-20-2013, 09:02 PM

I didn't have to open any top flaps to get any cards out of package.

Maybe you should post a pic of what your describing so we can see!

ebaycatdogoo · 06-20-2013, 09:16 PM

These pictures are from my phone. Hopefully they show up.

royprice31 · 06-20-2013, 09:20 PM

So they were coming out of the side of the box? Is it like limited or something where there is a cradle that holds cards in place inside of box?

paul06901 · 06-20-2013, 09:23 PM

WOW!

I didn't even check on the sides! You can completely open them and slide the card right out without detection! I just checked on some of mine, direct from Panini.

Looks like on yours the seller bent them out good by removing the cards then slipped the crappy ones back in and sold them to you as un-searched!

TOTAL speculation, but my guess given the situation on these!

Here are some pictures.

That Faried RPA must be nice

ebaycatdogoo · 06-20-2013, 10:02 PM

Thanks for comments and trying to help Paul. I guess you are the only one to break this stuff

. I'm just trying to figure out if everyone's were like this.
Thanks,
Ryan

I think this happened with the ones I bought. I was just skeptical because they were all like that.
