Came across this while browsing Ebay. I know that Topps Chrome packs only contain 5 cards, but in my experience the packs are pretty comparable with WOTC/new boosters thickness-wise.

Not a fan of how much plastic there is around the pack but that is sooooo much better ---

> [@xzini](#): > > Not a fan of how much plastic there is around the pack but that is sooooo much better Exactly how I feel. Feels like those awkward cases they use for jumbos cards or sealed promos. Makes it look tacky but still a million times better than folding every side of the pack to fit into the smaller ones. ---

they should honestly weigh them . even if not on the slab, can come up on the pop/cert report ---

Isn’t this what they have been doing for pop series packs and other smaller sets for a while? ---

> [@traineramy](#): > > Isn’t this what they have been doing for pop series packs and other smaller sets for a while? The POP packs I’ve seen have either been encased in a regular case or the flat type case used for sealed promos. However, there may be example out there that I’m not aware of. ---

I’ve been so tempted so open my vintage box and grade the light packs, but the psa case and the longer time scale really put me off. Will be keeping an eye on this for sure. ---

People have been requesting a new design for years. You’d think they’d advertise/announce the change, but then again who knows. I’m going to wait and see before assuming that it’s the new standard. If it’s not, then there’s always CGC pack grading to look forward to. ---

Despite the extra plastic, I am really glad to see that they fixed the pack folding issue. The folding of the packs has always irritated me to no end. I guess they don’t hate pokemon packs now. ---

Totally. Folding the Pokémon packs was just disgusting. Glad to see it might be gone for good. ---

I know they have been working on this for some time. Hopefully they are now rolling it out, as I have plenty of packs I would love protected. ---

> [@krill](#): > > I feel like there’s gonna be a ton of fake or resealed graded packs if grading packs becomes more mainstream Heck yes. I’d trust a seasoned collector more than PSA when it comes to identifying a reseal. Plus when you can be sure that the pack probably won’t be opened, that’s a great opportunity for scammers. It’s a bit of a dilemma. ---

Anything is better than the fold so they are going in the right direction. Much better now. ---

Are we sure these are changed cases or just their slim design cases that they don’t use for normal pokemon booster packs? [Next page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/has-psa-finally-changed-their-booster-pack-holder-update/30565.md?page=2)
