"No idea if they are Desert Shield or just plain ol' '91 Topps...2 of the boxes are sealed, two are not. If anybody knows how to tell the difference, please inform me. I looked at Houdinis break, and the box seemed to be identical to the regular '91 release...any help on these is greatly appreciated"

Maybe this is what caused what you now consider a high jack

What Al said plus unless it is a crap home printer fake most believe vintage cards to be the real deal.

The DS cards are easily among the top 10 faked/altered cards of all time. Yes they don't sell for thousands of dollars but you can turn a worthless common into a card that sells for a few dollars. I usually avoid them because I have no clue what is real and what isn't.

Easy.

I didn't say the thread was hijacked because it hasn't been hijacked...I just said it was odd that such a focus has been put on the least valuable cards I found...I think is says one of two things...either this community is really interested in DS cards in general, or this community is hyper sensitive when it comes to looking for/assuming cards are fake...not judging either way, just an observation.

And you are correct, I did ask for help on the sealed boxes...which a couple of posters offered their advice on. And for the record, I did open 5 of them so far...all regular issue, no vintage inserts yet either lots of Larry Jones rookies though
