We bought 23 packs of 2010 Bowman a few days ago from Target, it was missing just 1 pack. Sure enough, that pack was the auto. The pack searcher was probably thrilled to buy 1 pack and get a $3 auto most likely. Thankfully he left a pack with a purple strasburg /999 for us!

This is a very sensitive topic and is best not to question how to do it.
Also many of the hot packs are resealed, ensuring that you get a card worth little to nothing while the seller makes out like a thief. If fact they are thieves, stealing from the rest of us.

Correct. They are not stealing from the kids, as people will often say. The kids don't complain about pack searchers. We do.

sure, they are stealing from everyone...
but who has the most fun pulling a D-list all white jersey? and who really can only afford the cheap retail stuff?
IMO they steal from kids the most. although everyone suffers. the pack searching double dbag leader does vids on youtube if Im not mistaken. you can tell its his only think in life hes actually proud of :x

Jesus Christ, can we stop with the "poor kids" crap?
I haven't seen a kid in the card aisle in Walmart in over a year.
In fact, the only people I see in the card aisle are adults and they're usually cleaning the store out of 2010 Bowman so they can go hock blasters on eBay for a profit.
Effectively ruining the hobby for the "poor kids" by taking away their chance to pull a card of their newest hero, Stephen Strasburg.
It's even more pathetic than pack searching

i was just curious i figured they just resealed them i always wanted to test them by buying a pack and then sending them a message that there was no auto or jersey card in there. and there answer would be i know there was one in there. then i would respond how do you know? then they would probably just offer refund because they cant say because i put it in there. just to get them back ?????? i would never really do that but it would be pretty funny

i have seen ppl in the stores with scales. The auto because it is on a sticker will weigh a little different like .02 grams an they just buy those packs. When ppl use to use the beckett boards forever ago there were some interesting articles of ppl confronting these ppl. So even had pictures of ppl weighing out the packs. Usually long reads but interesting that the store didnt care most of the time. The photos where fat middle age men who couldnt get laid sitting on the ground with stacks of packs they were gonna buy.
