A hobbiest builder surly does that.<br />The packs are there to be wieghed by anyone, if the store permits it and card companys dont make thier "dummy card" system better, so be it. The card companys have probably gained tenfold in customers since the new bat/jersy style cards came out, what do they care if they are being weighed. Just sells more hobby boxes for them in the end.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743370006873359102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-83440316709660366582010-09-17T18:20:59.827-07:002010-09-17T18:20:59.827-07:00You should have kicked him right in the penis... o...You should have kicked him right in the penis... oh wait he doesn't have one.The Ranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909140451493301097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-42730052289657096692010-03-29T22:38:21.711-07:002010-03-29T22:38:21.711-07:00If you had called for store security it would of m...If you had called for store security it would of made for a very fun video...!!!!

For portable scale dude, the value is economic as he can flip this "hot" pack on eBay for profit. And for the person who buys it on eBay, the value is still economic.<br /><br />As for my quest for Stan Wall or Rick Auerbach or Leron Lee or any of the other 76 Dodger cards, the value is psychological.<br /><br />And so, as you said, to each his own.Steve Dittmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341986382079206500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-11370851713472745052010-03-23T11:16:18.086-07:002010-03-23T11:16:18.086-07:00Seriously?

I agree with a lot of the posts here--to each his own and if that is how this guy wants to spend his spare time, go nuts--but I have to say this also deters me from buying packs "off the shelf" in unsealed boxes that have already been pilfered and weighed by other goons.<br /><br />I was in a comic store once (Collectors Exchange over on Sepulveda; small store but nice people) and saw a guy come in and take a specific pack out of a box of newly-opened Topps cards. You know, the one with four stacks of card packs? He took something like the third pack in the back left stack or something like that. Then bought it, and walked out. And from that point on, I looked askance at the remainder of "pegwarmer" packs just sitting there in half-empty boxes; it seemed like the dregs left for an easy mark.<br /><br />As for Steve Dittmore's comment, I think there's a difference between the Dodger clearly visible on the top or back of the cellophane-wrapped wax pack, and the guy using the equivalent of x-ray specs to judge the contents of the pack. But hey, caveat emptor I suppose.<br /><br />Oh, and <a href="http://www.sonsofstevegarvey.com/2010/03/2010-topps-baseball-cards-three-dodgers.html" rel="nofollow">that box I bought a couple of weeks ago</a>? It was a sealed mini-box of 10 packs. Sorry, portable scale dude--no chance for pilfering there!Steve Saxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930320282262607468noreply@blogger.com
