I've pulled a bunch. Posey Ref, Posey Blue, Beckham, Inoa (not the redemption), Flores, Flores X and I think Montero (unless I am remembering the name incorrectly).

im thinking maybe, just maybe, you may be guilding the lilly just a tad here

I'm not.

Last time someone called me out, I "bragged" that I had ten 06 BDP Haeger Gold Refractor RCs. When I scanned the cards, the guy felt like an idiot.

Not to get into it with him or even create a debate because honestly...I care little either way but if I recall a while back...I think he said he pack searches or at least condones it(which would lead one to think he does indeed pack search).This was on the old boards and I may be thinking about the wrong guy but if I am not...well there you go.Weighing packs can be an effective means.If I am mistaken...no hard feelings.I am not looking for an argument...just simply trying to recall what I remember.

I don't have any problem with pack searching. If there's someone who can find Bowman Draft Chrome Autos by weighing blasters, more power to them. I would imagine that the differences in the cut of the cards and the thickness of the chrome would make more weight difference than the ink of an auto, but if someone puts in the time and energy and money to be able to find autos that way, more power to them.

I just did it the brute force way and bought a TON of blasters. Can't argue with the results.

Okay...so I was half right.I remember you mentioning something about it before but I couldn't remember if you said you did actually search or you just didn't care if people did.

Tearing open packs isn't searching, it's destruction of property.

Don't worry about offending me. If I had the time and the gumption, I'd search packs myself. Plus Detroit is destroyed by searchers so I doubt I'd find anything anyway.

How are you telling the difference in weight from one blaster to another? If I am not mistaken, each blaster is 8 packs shrink wrapped in a box.

I have opened numerous blasters and have never pulled a chrome auto...I have pulled Orange refractors, and other low numbered, but never a chrome auto.

I believe you can pull a chrome auto out of blisters but not blasters

No. You can pull (I have pulled several) chrome autos out of blasters.
I pulled 2 in my time opening them.

Beats me how they do it. I don't think weighing blasters does anything at all.

Nah...the stickers are supposed to throw the weight off just a tiny bit.I'd imagine it takes some practice to know whats in what blaster.Like if it weighs this much its an auto and if it weighs this much it could be a decoy etc.There is a dealer who I trade with who has a customer who searches Yughio packs for the holofoils.Supposedly the foil cards weigh just a hair more than the regular ones so that is how he finds them.

As for the searching debate...I don't even normally like getting into that anymore.There are some who do it, some who lie about doing it, and some who don't like it, and some who don't care.Some of the arguments made by people, whatever their actual thoughts on the subject,are kind of odd and funny sometimes but I don't think we would get anywhere with a debate on it.

It's one of the strategies of pack searchers.

No it's not. A pack searcher doesn't have to open a pack to know what's inside. The only people who open packs in the stores are people who are stealing cards.

I'm not sure how you can logically dispute this. There are people out there who go to stores like target and open up packs and look inside. Are they searching the packs? You better believe it. This isn't debatable, its a fact.

No, it's not a fact. Searching a pack requires skill. Any idiot can open a pack in a store. That's not searching, it's destruction of property and stealing.

Has anyone here pulled or hear of someone pulling an AFLAC auto out of the '08 Draft blasters?
