Case Hit in 1 pack from a fresh case

All In Cards · Sep 25, 2009

Let's say you are a store owner and open 1 pack from a fresh box/case of a product that has case hits and you hit the case hit in your 1 pack.

1. Would you open the rest of the box or leave it for your customers knowing that the case hit has been hit?

2. Open the rest of the case already knowing your customers wont hit the case hit?

3. Not care and just finish selling the product and not let your customers know you hit the case hit?

I'd put a small note letting the customers know. Nothing HUGE that would make them not buy it but just a heads up.

Option 1

Sell the rest of the product the way you normally would. If I ask a shop owner if anything was pulled from an already open box he usually tells me, "I don't know." I guess you could use the same policy and whether or not you know if there is any other hits in the box respond in the same way.

Even if it was the shop owner that opened that 1 pack?

I'd open the rest of the opened box and sell the unopened boxes as I normally would.

If a customer would ask, "has anything good been pulled?"; I'd show he/she the card.

With the way case hits sometimes fall 2 or even 3 per case in some product, I wouldn't feel bad about busting the rest of the box and then packing out the rest of the case. I would have a hard time selling "dead" packs unless the product was chock full of hits anyways. It's hard to really say without knowing the product information. If we're talking about a case like Legendary Cuts or Ginter where you're really only after the case hits then yeah, it would probably be in poor form to not advertise that you know the cut or rip card has been pulled. Just my two cents.

I would Ebay it by the box. That way I don't have to lie to my customers that come into my store.

I assume this has everything to do with Warren All-Star's post.

This is outright trolling, plain and simple, trying to call out a member without saying his name.

If I were the dealer(had a store), I'd factor in the sale price of the hit I pulled, and discount the rest of the box's accordingly. Still making a profit, but giving a discount on the rest of the boxs. And everyone buying would know the reason.

So, for example...

If I had 20 box case that cost me $1000 and wanted to make $1250, I busted 1 and pulled a $500(sale value) card. This would leave me with 19 boxs and still $750 to make to hit my profit goal. This means instead of selling each box at $62.50 as origionally planned, I would sell at $40+/- and still get my intended profit.

hmmmmmmmm

This should be interesting.

I say you need a fourth option. My LCS owner always shows me what he has hit
from a case/box, because he is a collector too and likes to share/show off.

He also tells me what other customers have pulled from the same product.

+1 THIS

There is a local shop here I suspect of opening packs and getting the hit and then double stuffing the shelf boxes with a myriad of mixed packs from various boxes to give the illusion that its a fresh box.

justinmandawg · Sep 25, 2009

I would go ahead and give the boxes away. After all, the store owner isn't in it to make any money. The guy doesn't have overhead or anything. People are afraid of others making money.

Does Topps email us all when the best superfractor is pulled from a set? They should let their customers know that the important card(s) have been pulled.

See I've had dealers say, nothing big has been pulled out of this case, I buy the last 4 boxes and hit a shield 1/1 of the 3rd best player in the set and sell the card for 2k. It goes both ways.

I have seen this done. I don't go to that shop anymore.

matfanofold · Sep 25, 2009

By the way, as a shp owner, this is why you should not bust the product you are selling. And, should never reveal what you have seen pulled(not while it's live anyhow).

I'm not gonna degrade the quality of this forum by flaming others because Andrew obviously has a problem with the fact that I busted a pack of Ballpark Collection & shared my good pull with the FCB members.

By his logic I'd have to open all my product once I know a "case hit" has been pulled. The fact that I pulled a case hit (my first one ever, thanks for busting my bubble Andrew) should make no difference, only the fact that I know a case hit has been pulled.

I will not butt heads with anyone online.

I also don't think this is trolling. This is a legit question that I've never seen addressed on here before.

While I'm sure it was inspired by Warren's post, why would you accuse one of our most upstanding members of trolling?

There could always be another case hit in that box/case. You never know
