It should generally be assumed that unless the BBCE label states that the box is "From a sealed case" (FASC) you are buying a box containing what Steve and Co consider to be unopened packs with no guarantees stated or implied that those are the packs original to the box. It seems to seem strange to those that are not well versed in that area that this is the case but it is. That is why some are willing to pay a premium for boxes noted as coming from a sealed case. That is the only way to ensure they are the packs original to the box.

This is 100% correct.
Just buy 5 clean unopened packs to replace what you opened and get the box wrapped by BBCE. If Steve has these in stock you can send him the box and he’ll add the 5 packs, wrap it, then charge you accordingly. This is completely normal to do and in no way “dishonest” as someone stated. I’ve been collecting/buying/selling /trading unopened for decades.
