Find a honest dealer and always buy from them simple pay the extra .50 and it is worth it.
Plus good loyal customers normally get treated well by the local mom and pop card shop. Your not just a number to the big brick stores who have no ideal who you are.

Our shop is neat it is like the tv show Cheers you walk in and the shop owner will yell your name out if he see's you and talk to you really meaning it.

He also picks on you teasing wise, like a kid so we tease him back.

I have opened jank boxs and got good boxs it does happen.
When you buy form someone and if you ever wonder if the packs werere searcehed then do not buy from them again.
Your gut is normally true.
If it is honest person you have been with for awhile you will just say it was a bad box and it happens. Odds are the next box will be good.

Even online some people that are not stores will buy a case open a couple boxs and sell the rest.
What happens is with a case odds are you get 1 to 2 of the same mythic and roughly 2-5 of each rare.

I will buy mulitple cases I open one full case and normally sell the other case in time.

Not mapping or searching but using odds it is still dis honest.

Here is what the shaddy person will do open box 1..
gets card a. $$$
OPens box 2 and gets card b
now on his third box gets card a again which is the main card $$ for the second time in the set and then stops and sells the other 3 boxs online which will have a chance for nice things but odds on the best card is very low on getting.

Just my opionon on things.

If you guys get this fired up over (likely imaginary) shady MTG practices, I can't wait until you guys find out about gun violence, or child abuse . It's like watching my mom learning how the internet works.

"It says I have viruses on my computer!"

"It's just an ad, mom. Ignore it."

"This prince in nigeria wants to help me get rich!"

"It's just a scam, mom. Ignore it."

etc.

Thread closed. I suggest you refrain from making any more of them about your illegal exploits, or your sketchy friends.

Thanks,
