    This happens a lot in other sports cards collector rings. People have found a way to open and reseal packs or even make new wrappers. I've seen it most in NFL, NBA, Pokemon and MTG cards, since they are more collected than hockey. People are also putting fake cards in slabs with copied/reprinted PSA labels. Sorry this happened to you.

    Definitely reach back out to whomever you got them from and explain. Especially if you are a regular customer. Hopefully they make it right. This is part of the reason why I stay away from loose packs and sub boxes who fill with loose packs. Just screams red flag to me. All the best!

    Precisely why I will never buy loose packs. I don’t even like buying boxes on eBay because people buy a case, pull the big hit and sell the rest. I’d definitely be sending/taking them back. However you need to do it. Guarantee those were weighed and like you said, likely bought third party but they run a hobby shop, they should know better and never buy loose product from anyone… and if they’re searching the boxes themselves and just selling the loose packs then they deserve no one’s business. Sorry bud. Bad enough the SPX boxes were dull but this is just unacceptable.

    Miraj trading on their website doesn't mention that THERE IS NO HITS in these loose packs. But if you look them up on ebay I do believe they mention it so yeah, it's definitely super shady. Miraj is honestly decent for sealed boxes but never, never buy loose packs from them.

    Unfortunately sealed boxes are the only way to go, preferably from a store you know and trust, and is an LCS near you. When you can feel the product in your hands before you buy it, it adds a layer of protection I think. Good luck and let us know the outcome.

    • @mikescorpio13

      even sealed boxes can be hazardous as in once they hit the Case hit they sell the rest of the case...got back in hobby a year ago and it was the first thing i ask directly at the shop owner.Looking straight in his eyes i asked if those boxes were freshly out of a case or they were diluted.Guy didnt have a choice and opened a brand new case in front of me and i choose the box myself.

    The crazy thing is that even if they had sold them in a "sealed" box there would be no guarantee that the packs hadn't been searched and the box resealed.. Thankfully, I haven't been a victim of this kind of issue as I don't usually buy wax boxes/packs on eBay or other social media outlets.

    I wonder if someone didn't figure out a pattern in boxes as to where the hits were, and took out those from many boxes, and sold the leftovers.
    I was going to say they were probably weighed by pack but how does that catch the autographs?
    You deserve a full refund and more.
