I’m going to approach this from a slightly different angle and would like to gather people thoughts.
Since December I have opened 4 booster boxes (fossil, neo destiny, base set 2 and neo genesis 1st edition) in front of a camera and placed each pack in a sealed sleeve and placed a tamper proof label on it that has a unique serial number. I have clearly showed the label to the camera for every single pack. I Have sold the packs as unweighed on ebay and facebook etc. In my adds is a link to the video of me opening whatever booster box is relevent to the pack I’m trying to sell and sealing the packs etc. You can see that pack or packs come out of the sealed box. Other than neo genesis they have sold very well, I have had feedback saying holo’s have been pulled etc and have been commended on selling truly unweighed packs.
Now my question is would I have been better off weighing the packs and selling them as heavy and light packs? Am I putting off potential customers by doing it this way?
I have never weighed packs, but have seen videos where heavy packs have ended up with no holo and supposed light packs have a holo. I’m not sure I would be comfortable selling them weighed as heavy or light if there was potential for a heavy pack to not contain a holo.
I’d love to hear some of your thoughts.
A tamper proof label can only tell you if that label has been tampered with.
What is to stop you creating two identical set of labels, and then off camera weighing the packs and either just keeping the heavy ones and sending out the light ones, or replacing the heavy ones with light ones with the same artwork from another box?
(Not accusing you of this, but what is to stop someone doing it?)
Agreed with all that being possible. Although would weighing still be reliable with the pack, the card saver, the sleeve and the label? I’ll stick to unweighed I think. I can’t see me opening any more boxes anyway lol.
