But the "rack packs" are just the regular packs inside a sleeve so it's nearly impossible to see who's on top of any pack.

The packs no longer have stiffeners that are as thick as the uniform/bat/whatever cards, so they can be felt inside the pack. I don't bother since I mostly want the regular cards and if I get a special one it's a bonus. But the Target near me has a guy that's there regularly feeling the packs. Which is kinda creepy when you think about it. (Another reason I don't do that. ) So I usually buy racks or the blaster boxes which are tougher to mess with unless it;s a set I collect and they don't have anything but loose packs.
