| 554.1 | slide to the left and slide to the right | DDIF::TANCILL | Well, hello Mr. Soul | Thu Apr 15 1993 17:53 | 23 |

I would say as with the UD high basketball, unscrupulous dealers are
"searching" packs by sliding the contents and repacking boxes with
packs thought not to have a UV coated insert in them. Track this guy
down if you can and accuse him in loud voice of searching the packs and
demand your $25 back. Bring the opened packs from your box back and
hand them this "person", he will most likely give you your money back
to keep you quiet. If he doesn't, elevate your complaint and tell
the dealer you're going to do this. Talk to the show promoter and then
the Better Business Bureau if you have to. CHances are all you'll
need to do is threaten to elavate your complaint and you will get
your money back.
Never buy a unwrapped box that's supposed to have shrink wrap. Be
careful of prices on packs/boxes that are far below the current
average price for the product. Find some dealers you trust and give
them your business, even if it means sacrificing a few dollars
here or there.
good luck and let us know what happens if you pursue this.

| Well, i took all the cards from that box to that show. He was there.
When i stated my matter to him he looked quite surprized (or he is
an excellent actor and should be in hollywood). now he says that he
opened both boxes he had right before the show since he planned to
sell everything. when i asked how come i didn't get any special
inserts in that box he said that it happened to him once or twice with
ud baseball boxes and i got extreamly unlucky. He also said that with
the packs like ud there is no way you can sort the box out and get all
packs with inserts out of the box (in the opposite to wax packs which
can be openned and closed quite easily).
Well, what can i do, beat the guy? If he is telling the truth, i
really got unlucky, if not i got my lesson of bying an unwrapped
box. I can't see to pursue this matter any further.
thanks jeff for your input.

| Find out if the guy is in the Greater Boston Sports Collectors
Club and give me a call. Another way to check is to see if the
guy has stacks of insert cards in his cases.
I assume that every pack is searched that isn't factory sealed.
