I received these five 1st Edition Gym Heroes Booster Packs today, and while I’m absolutely no expert, they appear to be legit based on comparisons of several other listings. However, I noticed on the side each pack seems to have a ding/small tear, and I’m not sure about it. Does this negatively impact the value? Would you be worried about the cards being dinged as well? What would you do in this situation?

Like wisewailmer wisely said, these airholes are 100% normal and it’s not wear and tear but manufacturing produced.

Not all packs have them but the majority of them do. I thought the same until someone pointed it out and then also discovered i have a base set 2 Mewtwo pack without these holes. Unlike the packs with the air holes the wrapper tightly hugs the cards inside.
