Got these two packs from my girlfriend as a gift… she showed me reviews the guy on eBay has, and people talk about getting good cards and he had a ton of good reviews… but I just can’t seem to shake off that they are in very weird shape. Thoughts ?? (The Jessie and James artwork and the Giovanni artwork) Added the other two I have that seem to be great condition especially the multi Art one… ![](https://imgur.com/gallery/fs1Oe4t) [imgur.com/gallery/fs1Oe4t](https://imgur.com/gallery/fs1Oe4t) ---

> [@acebren](#): > > What are your concerns? ![](https://imgur.com/gallery/JHJrBOO) [imgur.com/gallery/JHJrBOO](https://imgur.com/gallery/JHJrBOO) Mostly the seethrough in the red of the R , the very weathered out top crimple and finally the extreme color difference between these two packs and the other two I’ve gotten (which I’m confident is what they should look like) I wanted to see if others have seen these type of pack conditions for this set or in general. ---

From the pictures they look fine. I recently opened up a xy evolutions booster box and every pack in the box was see through. The roll of wrappers was probably screwed up I guess. I know they were produced by two totally different companies but it shows you there is the possibility out there that packs can be transparent for whatever reason causes that. ---

gehe808 To me they seem legit BUT it does kinda looks like they were resealed! look at the middle of the top of packs. Did you buy these as resealed packs? ---

> [@binx345](#): > > gehe808 To me they seem legit BUT it does kinda looks like they were resealed! look at the middle of the top of packs. Did you buy these as resealed packs? Of course not, bot them as sealed… Ive seen the same condition of crimple on brand new hidden fates so they did not worry me. Just very weathered out. ---

That happens and isn’t an indication of them being resealed. A lot of my hidden fates packs had similar markings on the seal. ---

It’s pretty common on rocket packs for whatever reason
