528 cards in the set. How many in a box, 360? I would bet there is nothing unusual statistically about what happened to you.

About the last person in this hobby I would suspect of untoward dealings is Steve Hart. If he's bad, might as well give up.

Yeah, no. 36 packs, 14 cards per pack. 504 cards times 2. 1008 cards total. No Terry Bradshaw either.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember opening 1989 Upper Deck and
had some messed up cards from time to time with dings or even a crease
here and there. I even got the same player sometimes back to back or
in the same pack. Not sure how or why you would reseal a foil pack.

I have never bought from them but we had a former member that got a ton of resealed stuff past Steve. He even bragged about how easy it was.

No issues with bbexchange. I think Steve Hart is one of the few honest folks in the buisness...

I think it's a bit unfair to Steve to post an anonymous claim like that, personally.

What part is anonymous? Don't you remember the guy I am referring to? Leon banned him after he was outed for selling resealed star player packs he was getting past Steve. He bragged about how easy it was before Leon banned him.

EDIT: The former member that was resealing packs and getting them past Steve was Jose Vazquez, his ID was Pepis. Before he was caught reselling sealed packs he was a great help on this forum showing how to spot resealed packs by several different methods. He also pointed out many resealed packs in PSA slabs. It was too bad he turned out to be one of the bad guys because he was an amazing resource for information.

This says 360, but in any event, what's your theory, that Steve opened every pack to look for third year Paytons and Dorsett rookies and 8th year Bradshaws, pulled them, and then resealed them all?

This says 14 per pack and that's what I remember. My theory is they got bad boxes from a source, didn't notice it and sold them. I was just responding to the op asking if anyone else was ever unhappy with a deal they got. Many of the wax seals were loose and the card sequence was crazy weird even for late 70s topps. I only remember because I had them until recently kept in order from the original purchase. It's just my one experience.

Btw no second year largent either.

Don't remember but I got like 6 stallworths which in the late 90s did not have much value but later became valuable. I got them for Christmas when I was 17.


Like I said, I never thought they sold bad stuff knowingly, but that they got bad stuff and without knowing passed in on... this was 19 years ago.
