I remember hearing about this last year and when I got my pack home I tried to do it and it took me so long just to figure out how to get that second to last card to move forward. There's no way I would stand in a store for an hour trying to examine the packs like that and look like a total idiot
If you watched the video, I talked about integrity and it is not something I would ever do, but I will share all info on cards to make people aware and it's up to them what they do with it, I'm betting most of my subscribers have high integrity from the comments.
Unfortunately this has been going on for many years, 2020 Optic Football, 2020 Select you could find the parallels, downtowns, field levels. You could even see the player most of the time. Probably best not to buy 2nd hand packs. Only purchase from the store!
I know someone who pack searches! You see this every year! I mean how hard would it be for Panini to black out the packs so you can’t see through them?
They destoy the other cards, I got into it with a guy the other day doing this shit! Spending 14 a pack is bad enough and when you open them and all the cards have dents and nail marks on them and gets me heated.
It's because of the theft, they be opening packs or blaster boxers right there, or they get the security tag out to steal them. I been seeing a lot of open packs laying on shelves.
I figured this is what happened to me. I pulled 2 downtowns out of luck on 2 restocks. 3rd time I purchased all the packs but did a count and noticed it was 4 packs shy of a case so somebody bought 4 packs. Needless to say I got nothing good from my packs.
The video I watched that was on another app, he did it so quick it took him like 15 seconds to search a pack, he also had a longer fingernail, not like a women's, but long enough he could easily move through the cards quickly
Poor panini quality.. increase prices all the way and even the pack quality is under earth not only the cards. bravo nice panini hopefully topps will do better.
Also, I'm always there at restock so I know the packs haven't been searched when I buy them, but I would be cautious of buying them in store if you don't get there at stock, I've heard they are searching them in store and buying them and searching them then reselling the ones without downtowns
I seen a guy show how it was done and then pull a downtown out of it after showing this, so I'm guessing people with good eyes and patience, then he said he resells the ones that don't have hits. I personally haven't seen anyone pack searching at my local store.
I did see a guy at a Walmart in Iowa a few years back when cards were really heating up and he had a small digital scale and was putting blasters on it one at a time, it was ones that were guaranteed to have auto or mem and I asked him what he was doing and he said finding the autos, some people just don't care I think.
One what, a pack with a guaranteed downtown? If that's what you are asking, I would probably not, I'm thinking if he's selling it, he knows who's in it and I'm pretty sure people that do that are gonna rip you off on who the hit is.
Don't forget to subscribe and comment as I do weekly giveaways and have restock, rip, and product info all the time

Pack searching is a big no no in my books
Totally agree
Teaching people how to search is messed up too!
It's about making people aware that it is happening and most dealers know this, so I think the public should be aware of it as well.

Yeah but it is still being done everyday. It’s ridiculous!
The Downtowns are hard pulls in fat packs. They'd be searching ALOT of packs😂

Agree 100 percent!!
It's risky doing that.. You might damage the cards inside.. There's no fun in it... Thanks for sharing
Stay safe
I agree, all the fun is the surprise

I have noticed Target LP's have been hanging around the card sections more, maybe trying to detour this from happening.

They will spend a lot of time searching for a downtown.. anyway that's a great information..
Even if you did searched it would take a long time to go through all of them just try your luck don’t cheat be ethical
I am for sure against pack searching I have a video from a year ago, warning people of this, not to buy the white Packs from secondary market

Panini needs to change their pack color to prevent this from happening
@@HRH-SportsCardsnooo they don’t I used this video and I’m scamming now and getting downtowns for my self hehehehahhaa
I am definitely going to buy more of these at Toys R Us here in Canadastan
Am I the only disappointed one that was waiting for the opening
I did open and made video, no downtown as I don't search packs but wanted to let people know.
The video I watched that was on another app, he did it so quick it took him like 15 seconds to search a pack, he also had a longer fingernail, not like a women's, but long enough he could easily move through the cards quickly
This is why you never buy individual packs. Scumbags weigh, feel, look through packs and then sell the garbage.
Nice to know that.
Poor panini quality.. increase prices all the way and even the pack quality is under earth not only the cards. bravo nice panini hopefully topps will do better.
That's dirtbag style! Thanks for the info.🤙GO REDS!
It's almost impossible to see
Open it let’s see if there’s DT
I did open and do a video, no downtown as I don't search packs but wanted people to know it was going on
I opened one pack and got a downtown, now I’m a retired football pack opener
Cringe

Haha reminds me of the infamous bo jackson score card as a kid
I just wonder if walmart employees can stop you if your looking too much time searching for a downtown in each fat pack lol
They don't even let you touch the cards at my Walmart.
I noticed at my Walmart when i come by to look for a stock up they kinda patrol/observe the area more
Lol searching packs has been a thing since the first marvel cards came out in 1989... 🤣 🤣
People always say this about donruss and optic. Is there any proof yet? It's very difficult to see through the back past the last card.
I seen a guy show how it was done and then pull a downtown out of it after showing this, so I'm guessing people with good eyes and patience, then he said he resells the ones that don't have hits. I personally haven't seen anyone pack searching at my local store.
@@HRH-SportsCards must just buy a bunch online then. Would definitely cause a scene in store.

Dang thats crazy. People probably reselling all of the ones with no downtowns
So I found one on Amazon do I buy it?
One what, a pack with a guaranteed downtown? If that's what you are asking, I would probably not, I'm thinking if he's selling it, he knows who's in it and I'm pretty sure people that do that are gonna rip you off on who the hit is.
Great tips! I had no idea that you could do that! I would be leery buying these online because of that!
That's crazy effort to get a random ass downtown that's worth $20
20? Try 200
500 for a relevant qb
