Between the makers of Super Box and Razor, this is the snake eating its tail in regards to keeping money in the hobby. People have to bust real wax to pull these cards and then people in turn drop $7,500 that they may have previously used on actual wax on a repacking product. How long before buyers just forgo the real wax all together in favor of these grab bag garbage? How much of the hobby pie is this repacking real cards into fake boxes going to cost the actual manufactures?
And the funny thing is that a lot of these people are satisfied with getting 60-70% of sale value back on these things because they're so used to taking a bath on standard wax. These lampreys are dominating the secondary market by repacking out all the big hits and selling them back to the same people that pulled them. How are people dumb enough to do this and not see how this is killing the hobby? Between this and Razor putting sticker autos on cards produced by actual manufacturers to the point where you have to have a conversation with someone about the fact that there isn't a real Kevin Durant Topps Chrome autograph when they have one PSA slabbed.
We're in the dying days of the hobby if this kind of thing keeps happening. Granted, the real manufacturers aren't a hell of a lot better but it's a shame to see these guys come in and attempt to pass off these grab bags as actual products.
