Is this a possible reseal? Most of the ones I’ve seen with Clear Wrap have the gold strip decks and the ones with the Wizards logo seal don’t have the gold strip. Any thoughts?

I used to purchase a lot of these Theme Deck Cases way back when I first started buying and selling Pokemon Cards. I originally thought the Non-WotC Wrapper meant Shadowless Cards; however, that is not always the case… I have purchased 4-5 of these Clear Wrapper Theme Deck Cases over the years and only one turned out to be Shadowless. The only guarantee for Shadowless Cards is the Gold Strip.

Now, in terms of re-seal - this Theme Deck Case looks good (to me). Additionally, the seller has a lot of sealed WotC-Era Product. In my personal opinion, this Theme Deck Case is legit. However, in terms of Shadowless vs. Unlimited Cards - the only way you will be able to determine that is by opening one of the Theme Decks…

I plan on bidding on this Auction for my personal collection; depending upon the ending price, I might open. However, with the luck that I have had opening Theme Decks I will most likely keep sealed!
